Chapter 31: No new clothes
On the carriage, Wu Niang held the box as if in a dream: "Brother, does so much money really belong to me?" ”
Song Yu rubbed her head: "Of course it's yours, you can spend it as much as you want." ”
Wu Niang began to think: "I want to go to the capital to buy a shop and a field, and in the future, I will collect rent every year, and I will have endless silver......
Xu Ziyin was very envious, and felt unwilling, why did she give Wu Niang so much? Jiang Wanning's dowry should all belong to Song Yu.
"Look at you, you can't close your mouth, you still have to think about where to hide the money first, in case someone finds out......"
"yes, it doesn't seem safe to hide anywhere." Wu Niang was worried.
Xu Ziyin asked Song Yu again: "Are all the people in your house reliable?" ”
Song Yu was speechless, how did he know whether he was reliable or unreliable, people were arranged by his mother, there were no secrets that people couldn't know before, and he didn't know that his mother was not wholeheartedly for him, so he didn't think about whether the people around him were wholeheartedly devoted to him.
"Jiang Wanning will leave the Song family after the birthday banquet, although she promised not to tell the matter of marrying you and the fifth sister, but this matter has already made a fuss before, and my aunt is a shrewd person, she will definitely suspect it." Xu Ziyin said slowly.
"Moreover, this money must be hidden until they leave Jiangcheng to be safe, and there are still four months to be full, but if there is one of you who eats inside and out, and pokes the matter to your aunt, won't it be empty of bamboo baskets?"
Song Yu's brother and sister looked at each other, this matter is really a headache, they don't dare to guarantee that the people around them are reliable.
Song Yu's mind turned around and said, "Ah Yin, why don't we put these coins on you first?" ”
Xu Ziyin made a surprised expression: "Let me go?" ”
Immediately, the conversation changed: "I'm safe, I only have Si Qin and Si Qi in my room, they are personally selected by me, they have served me for many years, and they will marry me in the future, they are absolutely trustworthy." ”
"Just let you go first, and when Jiang Wanning leaves, I will ask my mother to come to the door to propose marriage, marry you as soon as possible, and then you will bring the money back." Song Yu handed the box to Xu Ziyin.
Wu Niang hesitated, not because she was worried about Xu Ziyin, but she was reluctant to hand over the money before she got it.
"Wu Niang, if you don't feel at ease and put it here with me, then you must keep it safe, in case it is discovered, don't confess your brother." Xu Ziyin said with a smile.
Song Yu snatched the box from Wu Niang's hand and handed it to Xu Ziyin: "A-Yin will be your eldest sister-in-law in the future, don't you worry about her?" ”
Wu Niang defended: "It's not that I don't believe it, I still want to look at my money twice." ”
"You're a money obsesser." Song Yu smiled.
Xu Ziyin held the two boxes, secretly proud, and the money would be hers in the future.
Jiang Wanning returned to the Song Mansion, and Mr. Zhou, the bookkeeper, was waiting for her.
"Big lady, this is the rent paid by the tenants, and the three hundred taels squeezed out of the tea shop, a total of 1,600 taels."
Jiang Wanning slightly: "It just comes in handy, it will take three or five days for the silk village to send the money, and I will make up for the deficit at that time." ”
Mr. Zhou replied respectfully: "Yes!" ”
The eldest lady was anxious to use the silver, so she asked the tenants to pay the rent in advance, and the rent per mu was reduced by 20%.
He went to ask his wife for his opinion on this matter, but he didn't see his wife, and his wife's personal maidservant Xuancao passed the word and said that he would listen to the eldest lady.
Then he listened to the eldest lady and collected the rent.
As soon as Mr. Zhou left, the third aunt Ying Yao came again.
"Ah Ning, the restaurant is about to start preparing food, do you want to pay the deposit first?"
Jiang Wanning asked Yu Niang to look at the tea, and said: "Third aunt, I just came back from the Silk Village, and the shopkeeper of the Silk Village gave me a letter of approval, saying that he would definitely be able to send me the money in three days." ”
"You also know that since I was a housekeeper, I have put in a lot of silver before and after, and the silver in my hand has been spent along with the three thousand taels sent by the Silk Village, and now I really have no money."
"But we have to prepare food, and it doesn't cost money to prepare food? Hongfu Building was already losing money, and we really couldn't afford this money for sixty tables of banquets. Ying Yao was displeased.
"Third aunt, do you think this will work? You find a way to put it on first, and when the settlement is settled, I will make up for you an extra five hundred taels. ”
"Actually, it's only three days late, and I'll give you the money after the banquet."
Ying Yao's was a little excited, just three days late, he could earn an extra five hundred taels.
In fact, the restaurant did not lose money, not only did it not lose money, but there was also a surplus of three or four thousand taels, and she said this to her sister before, just to get some more silver from her sister, sixty tables of banquets, and she could afford to cushion it.
"Ah Ning, you have your difficulties, aunt understands, but you also have to understand and understand aunt, now the chef of the restaurant and the wages of the second child are still owed!"
"One thousand taels." Jiang Wanning said.
Ying Yao deliberately hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, who let us be a family!" A thousand taels is a thousand taels! ”
Ying Yao never thought that Jiang Wanning would pit her, Jiang Wanning has always given her the impression that she is supple and well-behaved, she has so many dowries, this little money is a drop in the bucket for Jiang Wanning.
Jiang Wanning said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, but don't tell my mother-in-law about this, otherwise my mother-in-law will blame me for spending money indiscriminately and not being able to run the house." ”
Ying Yao's own benefit, how could he tell his sister.
Sister is getting more and more picky now.
So Ying Yao dispelled the idea of visiting his sister and left directly.
The day before the birthday banquet, Song Heng returned to the Song Mansion.
As soon as he entered, he shouted: "Mother, the child is back." ”
Cui Wei greeted her and said happily, "Shiro is finally back." ”
Song Heng handed the bookcase to Cuiwei.
Cuiwei knew that it was all Shiro's dried medicinal herbs, and said with a smile: "Shiro has picked so many medicines again, don't pick them in the future." ”
"What do you eat if you don't pick my mother?"
"The eldest lady hired a doctor with excellent medical skills for her aunt, and gave her money to grab medicine, and now her aunt's body is much better."
Song Heng was quite surprised: "Big lady? ”
"Yes, you don't know yet, now the house is headed by the eldest lady."
Belch...... Song Heng was stunned.
The last time he came back from delivering medicine, he heard that his sister-in-law was very sick, and the house was ready to do the funeral.
Who knew that not only was it good, but now it was able to be in charge.
My sister-in-law has been sick for more than a year, and no matter how she treats it, she can't get better, so that's good?
"Heng'er......" the mother in the house was calling him.
Song Heng hurriedly entered the house.
Aunt Wei was sitting on the couch and was collecting the soles of her shoes, raised her eyes, and asked softly with a smile: "Have you seen Mrs. and Brother?" ”
"I've seen it."
He went to see Madame, but Madame did not see him.
He went to see his brother, who unexpectedly became very affectionate to him.
"Mother, brother asked the child to help him entertain distinguished guests tomorrow."
Aunt Wei was not as happy as Song Heng expected, as if she hadn't heard it, she stopped what she was doing, went to the cabinet and took out a pair of clothes: "Heng'er, try it." ”
"Mother, you have bad eyes, do less needlework, and the clothes are enough for the children." Song Heng touched the silky cloud brocade, feeling sorry for his mother's hard work, and even more distressed about silver, this material is very expensive at first glance, and his mother must be afraid that he will wear old clothes tomorrow and lose the dignity of Song Mansion Langjun.
"Quickly put it on." Aunt Wei urged.
After a while, Song Heng changed into a robe, soft and elegant as a pale green like heavenly water, and he became more and more handsome and graceful.
"Beautiful." Aunt Wei nodded in satisfaction.
"It's my mother's embroidery." As soon as Song Heng wore such precious materials, he couldn't help but feel a little constrained and uncomfortable.
"Take it off and wear it later."
Song Heng: "...... Later? Isn't it tomorrow? ”
Aunt Wei said lightly: "Just wear old clothes tomorrow." ”
Song Heng was dazed and confused, tomorrow is his wife's birthday banquet, and his sister-in-law specially sent new ingredients, but he wore old clothes to entertain guests, is it appropriate?
