Chapter 20 What is the intention?
Jiang Wanning observed the words and continued: "I admire Lang Jun, so I am willing to fulfill Lang Jun and Xu Niangzi, and plan for Lang Jun wholeheartedly, I originally thought of handing over my marriage to my mother-in-law, but I found that the people my mother-in-law cares about most are not Lang Jun, but the master and Qilang. ”
Song Yu raised his head suddenly, and a danger signal was released in his eyes.
The father attaches more importance to the second brother, which he himself has long been aware of, otherwise why the second brother can stay by his father's side, but his father rarely asks about him, the eldest son who stays in the family.
He just didn't want to admit it, and even found all kinds of reasons for his father to deceive himself.
Jiang Wanning's words completely pierced this layer of window paper, making him have to face the cruel truth.
But Jiang Wanning said that her mother's was not, so she had ill intentions.
Jiang Wanning read the warning in his eyes, but did not stop.
"I have seen the account books at home, since the lord went to Ningchuan, every year I will ask the family for silver, as little as a thousand taels, as much as a few thousand taels, and as much as a few thousand taels.
"But as far as I know, the old man has received a lot of filial piety in Ningchuan, and the filial piety that the Jiang family gives him every year is more than 1,000 taels, is he really short of money?"
"The account books show that for so many years, the family has never received a penny from the master, only the family subsidizes him, if Lang Jun doesn't believe it, you can ask Steward Zhong."
Song Yu's expression was dark and difficult to distinguish, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
His mother never talked to him about this, but Jiang Wanning's words were so conclusive that he couldn't believe it.
So...... The father obviously had the silver, but he didn't give it to the family, and he reached out to ask the family for it, and all his silver was given to Aunt Zheng to do the sea ship business, and maybe it was also used to buy an industry for Aunt Zheng's mother and son.
What's more, maybe the silver that was not used to repair the river embankment was an excuse at all, and the 100,000 taels of snowflake silver that the Jiang family helped him fill the deficit fell into the hands of Aunt Zheng and the second brother.
Song Yu couldn't help but think about the bad, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Since last year, the lord has asked for more and more silver, last year he asked for a total of 5,600 taels, and this year it adds up to almost 4,000 taels, last year...... The old man was transferred to Xuancheng. ”
"And the annual income of the house depends on the rent of the fields and the tea business, and the income is only about 3,500 taels, such a large family of people has to be fed, many human relationships have to be maintained, and the third aunt has to come from time to time to make some cheap, just this income, all given to the master is not enough, how did you support yourself as a mother-in-law?"
"She can only use her dowry, and now her dowry has been consumed very little."
"Mother-in-law is such a shrewd person, will she not know the situation on the master's side? But she didn't dare to resist the master, or she didn't think about resisting at all, but kept satisfying the lord and giving what she wanted, in order to prove the value of her existence as a main family, including sacrificing your happiness. ”
"Jiang Wanning......" Song Yu jumped up and accused sharply.
"Are you trying to stir up feelings between me and my mother? What are your intentions? ”
His father's indifference to him and his use of him were mentally prepared, and although it was difficult to accept, he believed it.
But if he doubts his mother's heart for him, he will never believe it.
The pity in Jiang Wanning's eyes was even worse, and she said slowly: "But if my mother-in-law fights with reason, she will never back down, in fact, the Song family still has a candidate who can marry me, isn't it?" ”
Rumble...... Song Yu only felt that he was hit with a hammer on the head.
Oh, yes! There are also four brothers in the family, whose identity and age are more compatible with Jiang Wanning.
When he knew that his father wanted him to marry Jiang Wanning, he knelt in front of his mother and pleaded, he said...... You can let the fourth brother marry.
What did Mother say?
Mother said, how can so many dowries be cheap for Song Heng.
In the eyes of the mother, the father's word is the divine decree.
In his mother's eyes, his happiness is no match for the Jiang family's rich dowry.
Song Yu's mind was dizzy, and he stumbled under his feet, but fortunately he held on to Fang Ji on Luohan's couch so that he would not be paralyzed.
Jiang Wanning didn't pay attention to him, and continued to say quietly: "Today I told my mother-in-law that I want to add makeup to Wu Niang's eight shops, Wu Niang's husband's Ah Weng is a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, although the official position is not high, it is an important position, and he may be able to help Lang Jun in the future." ”
"The rest of the dowry is all sold for money, let Lang Jun take it to the capital next year, Lang Jun has learned well, and it is inevitable to pass the exam, but if you can find a good place after the exam, you have to spend a lot of money up and down......
Jiang Wanning said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes: "If Lang Jun doesn't believe it, you can ask Yu Niang, the Chengxin Hall where she went with me today, and ask her if I said so." Lang Jun can also go and ask Wu Niang, did I tell her that I would leave the dowry to Lang Jun......"
"If I don't do this, I marry my mother-in-law, and I don't know who will end up in the hands, maybe Erlang, maybe Qilang, but not Langjun."
"What I admire is Lang Jun, I am willing to give my things to Lang Jun, and my Jiang family can't afford to give it, but why give it to others?"
Song Yu forced herself to calm down, she couldn't let Jiang Wanning lead her nose, she must have ulterior motives.
He didn't believe his mother would do that to him.
So, Song Yu gritted his teeth and said, "What you said, I will go to my mother for verification." ”
Jiang Wanning was aggrieved for three points, and seven points calmly: "Lang Jun will ask himself, but if Lang Jun asks so bluntly, his mother-in-law will definitely deny it, and Mama Cui was also there at the time, but she is a close confidant of her mother-in-law, and she will only cover it up for her mother-in-law." ”
"It's all good that you said it all by yourself." Song Yu snorted coldly.
Jiang Wanning endured her grievances: "I just want to say that the point of verification is not whether I told my mother-in-law about it, but whether my mother-in-law agreed to leave all the dowries to you, if my mother-in-law agreed, I am willing to admit all my mistakes, invite myself to go to court, and not take away a penny, if my mother-in-law does not agree, Lang Jun will know that what I said is true." ”
Song Yu glared at her fiercely, as if to see through her appearance of pear blossoms with rain.
But he couldn't see the clues, the sadness and grievances in her eyes were so real.
Qing'e, who was outside the door, heard a dispute inside, and couldn't hear it clearly, only knowing that it was a quarrel over money.
I was anxious and wanted to get closer and listen to the truth.
The door slammed open, and Lang Jun walked out, his face gloomy as if it were a dark cloud of a rainstorm.
"Lang Jun ......"
Song Yu didn't seem to hear it, and walked away.
Qing'e hurriedly went in, only to see the lady sitting there crying silently.
"Lady, what's wrong? The slave looked at Lang Jun and seemed to be angry. ”
Jiang Wanning pursed her mouth, and her tears rolled down like beads with broken threads.
was very aggrieved and resentful, and sobbed: "I have a good heart and was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
Qing'e took out a silk handkerchief to help the lady wipe her tears: "Don't cry, lady, speak slowly." ”
"Qing'e, you give me a comment, I want to reconcile, is it wrong to become a perfect Langjun and?"
Qing'e pursed her lips and shook her head.
This can be regarded as self-aware, the Song family is disgusted with the lady, if the lady has to occupy the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family, her life will not be guaranteed.
"Lang Jun and I are finally husband and wife, I want to leave my dowry to Lang Jun, is it wrong?"
Qing'e was stunned: "It's all ...... All left to Lang Jun? ”
That's nearly 200,000 taels of silver!
"You know, my father has to climb the Song family, in order not to be looked down upon, in the future, the Jiang family will have an official family, and now they are going to leave, I will leave the marriage to Lang Jun, Lang Jun will have a future in the future, can you remember the good of the Jiang family? My nephews are going to study and get ahead, maybe Lang Jun can help out......"
Jiang Wanning's mood gradually calmed down: "I'm thinking about Lang Jun and the Jiang family." ”
Qing'e nodded: "The lady is thoughtful. ”
"But I told my mother-in-law about this today, but my mother-in-law didn't agree, and my mother-in-law asked me to hand over all the dowries to her. didn't have to be used by her to please the master, and in the end they all fell into the hands of Aunt Zheng's mother and son. ”
"I'm married to Lang Jun, not the second lang of the Song family, why should I marry them?"
Qing'e really agrees now.
"It can't be cheaper for them."
"My mother-in-law may be in a hurry, and I don't know how to tell Lang Jun, so Lang Jun came to question me. I really...... It's really wronged. ”
When it comes to sadness, the tears can't be stopped.
