Chapter 5 I wish to share my grandmother's sorrows
Jiang looked at this row of young and beautiful little girls, and felt much more comfortable, and some of the previous dissatisfaction with Zhou also dissipated.
Zhou's daughter-in-law, although she has never been very satisfied, but the Zhou family is kind to her son, and her son is willing to marry, so she has to admit this family matter.
Over the years, Zhou's has also done well, after she has taught for a few years, she has presided over the feed, and the house has been well organized, whether it is the concubine or the nephew and niece in the next room, she has not been treated badly.
Jiang said: "Let's find a place to sit down, you went out to play today, but where did you go?" ”
The fourth girl, Gu Ying, is a coquettish person, and the Jiang family is her own grandmother, so she is closer to her, so she leaned in and said: "Grandmother, we went to Chang'an Building to see the students' poems, and they wrote really well." ”
"Oh? For poetry, that's a bit of a skill. Jiang laughed, "It's okay for you to go out for a walk these days, if there are any students in this year's class, grandmother will be the master for you at that time." ”
The second girl, Gu Xiang, said: "If you want me to say, it's useless to look at it now or not, so I have to wait for someone to go to high school, we are also a girl from the first-class marquis's mansion, how can we easily promise someone." ”
Although this is the truth, Gu Xiang's speech is indeed a little straight, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to.
The third girl, Gu Yi, shook her fan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid what the second sister said is not right, this doesn't depend on whether people can go to high school, if you like it, even if you marry and eat bran vegetables, I am also happy." ”
Gu Xiang was disdainful in his heart, and his heart was like your mother, was he willing to have an affair with someone as a concubine?
However, she finally knew what kind of place this was, and it was really not a wise move to quarrel with Gu Yi, so she snorted coldly when she thought about it, and stopped talking.
Jiang Shi looked coldly at the struggle between the two and smiled: "Okay, I came to you today, in fact, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”
"You also know about your eldest sister, and my grandmother doesn't say much, what the Wu'an Hou Mansion means is to choose another girl to marry in our house."
"When your eldest sister didn't come back, she said that she suddenly got sick and asked her sister to marry to continue this marriage, how many of you are willing?"
As soon as Jiang's words came out, the scene was quiet, the four girls stopped their movements, and Gu Yi's breathing became two points heavier.
Although it is a bit disgraceful to say that the substitute marriage is quite disgraceful, it also depends on who is married.
That's the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion!
is still married to the Hou of Wu'an!
If you marry this time, you will be Mrs. Shizi, and you will be Mrs. Hou in the future!
Of the four girls present, except for Gu Yun, who was still young, the other three were excited.
Gu Yi couldn't believe it: "What grandmother said is true?" Then the one who wants to marry is the prince of Wu'an? ”
Jiang glanced at her and said slowly: "It is the prince of Wu'anhou, in the end, your eldest sister has no fate with him, now that the marriage date is approaching, the Wu'an Houfu can't afford to lose this person, and in this situation, you can only marry someone else." ”
"The two families have discussed, and the dowry that has been agreed before remains unchanged, except for the share that your eldest sister's mother privately subsidized to her, but your eldest sister's mother also said that the house will make up for another shop and a grange."
There are several sources of dowry for the girl's family, one is prepared by the family and her father, and the other is sent by the in-laws when they are hired.
The other is what her parents have saved for her since the girl's birth and for herself, and the last one is given by her mother, which is taken from her mother's private property.
If you change to a bride, the first two can't be moved, but the last two can be changed.
Jiang said: "Ah Yun is still young, Gillian is still sick, and although she lives in our house, she is the daughter of the Xie family, so she doesn't think about it, are the three of you willing?" ”
Gu Xiang squeezed the handkerchief tightly, his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out.
If she can marry and have the name of Mrs. Shizi in the future, then her mother and younger brother will definitely not be bullied again?
Gu Xiang was about to stand up and speak, but was preempted by Gu Yi, she saw Gu Yi standing up with a shallow smile, stepped forward and curtsied, and said with a smile: "Since grandmother has said so, granddaughter should be willing to share her grandmother's worries." ”
Gu Ying was a step late, and continued: "If the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion sees his granddaughter, the granddaughter is naturally willing. ”
Gu Xiang was preempted by Gu Yi, and he secretly hated in his heart, and he was also a little anxious: "The same goes for my granddaughter." ”
Seeing this, the Jiang clan nodded lightly: "Since this is the case, you should prepare well, and Mrs. Wu'anhou will come to see you at that time." ”
The implication is that when the time comes, whoever can marry will rely on their abilities to see who can enter the eyes of Mrs. Wu'anhou.
"Yes, grandmother." The three girls looked at each other with different expressions.
Jiang nodded, and then asked Zhou, "Did you send it over from this month's cloth village?" ”
Zhou replied: "It's been delivered, it was just sorted out yesterday, and I'm thinking about letting the girls choose it, and it's time to make new clothes this month." ”
The sons and girls of the Marquis of Changning have monthly rules, the girls have a monthly salary of ten taels of silver per month, a piece of cloth, a set of fat powder, if the house orders jewelry, there are additional jewelry to choose from.
Because the sons have to study outside, they occasionally have to eat something with their classmates, and they spend more, so the monthly money is the same as ten taels, but the extra pen and ink costs ten taels, and the cloth is the same.
There is also an embroidery workshop in the house, where the girls can take the cloth to the embroidery lady to help make clothes, and can make two sets of new clothes a month.
Now in the Changning Hou Mansion, there are only two girls who have special embroidery girls, one is the eldest daughter Gu You, and the other is the cousin Xie Yixiao, these two are also the most well-funded girls in the house.
Gu You, as the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, naturally has a lot of subsidies for her on weekdays, and the old lady Jiang often gives her some things.
Although Xie Yixiao is a cousin, but Zhou's aunt treats her well, and Gu You will also give her some, Jiang feels sorry for the only bloodline of the deceased daughter, and treats her more than Gu You, and everything good is close to her.
In addition, there is the Xie family, she also takes the monthly example given to her by the Xie family every month, and the Xie family may not have much affection for her, but she is the daughter of the Xie family or the daughter of the concubine, and what should be given to her is also given.
For this reason, the other girls in the house were so envious that their eyes were green.
