Chapter 20: Deliberation
Ruan's previous letter did not mention that before Shenshui came back, Banjuan and Xianglan were redeemed by her brother Ruan Jin, so it seems that Uncle and Mrs. Bo didn't say anything, so Geng Wen thought that Banjuan and Xianglan were still with Yu Yapo.
"Dad, half a roll has been redeemed by her uncle, and now she and Xianglan are at her uncle's house, and when her uncle completes their identity deeds, half a volume will go to Mingshang Pavilion to help, and Xianglan is to see the meaning of the sixth sister."
Geng Xingshuang told his father about the process of looking for his uncle yesterday and his uncle going to Yu Yapo's house in Liu'er Hutong to redeem people.
Geng Wen nodded, "That's fine." ”
"They didn't complain to you? Said that my eldest brother only ransomed half of the volume and Xianglan, but let their own granddaughter, the second uncle's daughter, suffer in that Yu Yapo's house? And because half a roll was sold, the silver sold was collected in the main courtyard, and yesterday I asked Sister Shuang to go to the main courtyard to say, from next month we will not pay the silver for chewing, and the period is one year. ”
Ruan's decision to exempt him from paying a year's chewing of silver was not because he was afraid that Geng Wen would blame his daughter, but that this kind of thing should have been done by her, the mother of Qingcui Courtyard, and since her daughter helped her do it, the not so good reputation and follow-up problems caused by this incident had to be borne by her, the mother.
Even in front of her husband, she bears it.
Ruan's expression was still not good, Geng Wen knew that he had really provoked his wife this time, and he didn't care about her yin and yang weirdness, so he smiled and said: "What's the use of them suing me, don't say that they don't pay attention at all, even if they are reasonable, I am also towards you and my daughter."
"Not only our room, but also the third room is exempt, Sister Chen and Sister Shuang went to the main courtyard to talk about this matter together."
Nguyen said again.
Regarding his mother's desire to defend herself, Geng Xingshuang knew in her heart that she would naturally not refute her mother.
But it wasn't too important now, and she had other doubts.
"Dad, according to what my grandfather said, Mother Tan is not only without fault, but has meritorious?"
As soon as this story was compiled, Tan Feixu secretly hid the flesh and blood of Bofu, and let him become a slave and become a descendant of his own family, the master of such a ridiculous thing became a loyal servant who took care of him in the dark but did not take credit for the well-being of Miss Bofu.
"Although it is meritorious, but when I learned yesterday that Shen Shui was taken away by Yu Yapo, I did not go to the main courtyard in time to report, which not only made Shen Shui suffer and was frightened, but also made Mrs. Bo feel guilty and uneasy, I heard that Mrs. Bo did not enter last night to this morning, and then she pulled Sister Bing in privately, which is even more wrong, so Tan Feixu was sent to the second brother and daughter-in-law to marry Zhuangzi."
This punishment was something Geng Xingshuang didn't expect, she thought that no matter what, whether it was the second uncle or the second aunt, Tan Feixu would not be tolerated, and now the second room seems to be in a particularly short state of money, so she should be sold, and it is very likely that she will be handed over directly to Yu Yapo.
It's just that the Yao family is also the second aunt's maiden family in the end, maybe Tan's mother's final result will not change, but there is one more transfer procedure.
"Whose decision is it to send Tan's mother back to Yao's house, does Dad know?"
Geng Wen shook his head, "Your grandfather didn't mention her originally, I asked, I thought it was the second brother and Mrs. Bo's people, if the news in the letter is true, they will definitely not let the Tan family go."
After all, the Tan family is the second brother and daughter-in-law's marriage, if there is something to kill the daughter-in-law's marriage, and then the imperial envoy participates in a book, our family will not have a sacred heart, this plaque of Anping Bofu may be taken off when the father is still alive, so I can't help but ask, my father just said the decision to the Tan family, who came up with this idea, I didn't ask in detail. ”
After talking about the second room, Geng Xingshuang also said that the silver money sold by the three maids yesterday was far less than the silver used by the third room of the big house to chew for a year, and he doubted the purpose of Mrs. Bo and the second room.
"Of course, the ultimate goal of grandmother and second uncle is to seek the position of the fifth rank of the military department, the question is only how to seek it? What does it have to do with selling half rolls? ”
"Why don't I test my second brother?"
Geng Wen and Geng Cheng, one is the eldest son of the Yuan match, and the other is the second son born by the stepfamily, Geng Cheng got the only grace, it stands to reason that the relationship between the two brothers is relatively speechless, even if it is not tense.
But it may be that many of the interests of the second room are fought for by Mrs. Bo for them, so Geng Wen and Geng Cheng, the two half-brothers, although they are not very close, still barely maintain their face-to-face affection, and they can also drink two cups together during the New Year's Party party.
On the contrary, Geng Cheng and Geng Yan, the two brothers of the same father and mother, really have no brotherhood, as soon as the two meet, Geng Yan is cynical, Geng Cheng is pretending to be generous, showing self-cultivation, so, Geng Yan is even more unaccustomed to it, and the words become more and more ugly, Geng Cheng is silent with a smile, it seems that Geng Yan is like an unreasonable child, such a vicious circle, the relationship is not as good as a year.
"You're going to test him? Don't let him try out anything? ”
Geng Wen choked and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
"Dad, don't bother you to find the second uncle, isn't Zhuangzi busy with spring ploughing? Can you just leave Cao Tian for me to use? ”
Cao Tianyuan is the grandson of Cao Shun, a tenant farmer in the village of Mishanzhuangzi, two years ago, when there was no division in Anpingbo's mansion, and the big house and three rooms did not get any family property from the public, Mrs. Bo began to let the three sons pay twenty taels of chewing silver every month, if there is an excess of the subordinates left in the courtyard, they need to make up for the silver, and the silver to make up is only for the extra subordinates, not including the monthly money, then Geng Wen and Ruan felt that the silver they had saved over the years was not safe.
Therefore, he took out almost all the silver he could take out, and bought a 500-acre grange in Mishan in the name of the Ruan family, and the deed of the grange was placed in Ruan Jin, and what he told Bofu was that after the Ruan family split up, Ruan Jin, the eldest son, divided some family property and gave his sister Ruan Shi a dowry.
Although Mrs. Bo had also beaten the idea of the dowry of her two daughters-in-law before, but after the big trouble between the Ruan family and the third aunt Jiang family, Geng Cheng also needed to maintain a good reputation as an official, and after that, Mrs. Bo did not dare to fight the idea of the dowry of her daughter-in-law, at least not on the surface.
And Cao Tian is Geng Wen went to Zhuangzi to find out, they have a family of more than ten people living together, the head of the family is his grandfather Cao Shun, Cao Tian's father fell ill a few years ago, he himself is just fifteen this year, his mother is not in good health, and there is a sister who is three years younger than him, the life of the mother and son in the Cao family is not very good, I heard that the owner of Zhuangzi wants to recruit a small girl, I took the initiative to find it, and recommended myself.
is really a clever and measured person, which is very suitable for what Geng Xingshuang will do next.
Of course, Jinbao with a pair of sensitive ears and kung fu is also suitable, but she is a girl's family, and some places are not suitable, and she has been staying in Bofu, and everyone in the mansion is familiar with her, so let her go out, it is easy for Geng Cheng to recognize her.
Geng Wen naturally would not refuse his daughter, he immediately said: "Okay, I will ask Zheng Gu to go to Zhuangzi to call Cao Tian over, ride a horse, and I will be there soon."
"Don't go into the house, just ...... Let's go straight to the Ming Dressing Pavilion. Geng Xingshuang said.
