Chapter 455: The Marquis of Changning's Mansion Holds a Funeral
After Spiegel left the Xie family, the black tea that used to guard the porter to make a report became a first-class maidservant, and the remaining red mushrooms, safflowers, red apricots, and red dates were second-class maidservants.
Black tea is indeed far from Spiegel, when Spiegel was there before, many things didn't need Xie Yi to smile and speak, Spiegel did everything, but when she came to Black Tea, she had to tell her what to do and how to do it.
Xie Yixiao was a little uncomfortable at first, but she also knew that this was a normal state, Miss Spiegel was too capable, and she was raised badly.
She made up her mind, and then told Black Tea about the things she had to take care of in the yard, so that she could get started as soon as possible, and in the following days, she attended two wedding banquets, a flower appreciation banquet, and the rest of the time was handed over to Mrs. Xie about her dowry shop grange in the future.
Xie Qingshan's property, Mrs. Xie arranged for two stewards to be in charge, the two stewards were a pair of cousins, the cousin's surname was Zhao, and the cousin's surname was Chen, Steward Zhao was in charge of the things that the family gave to Xie Qingshan, and Steward Chen was in charge of Xie Qingshan's private property.
Because it is managed separately, it is convenient to hand over now, the family's property is given to Xie Yiling, Xie Qingshan's private property is divided into half, and Xie Qingshan's private collection belongs to Xie Yixiao.
Xie Yiling got two shops and a three-entry house, while Xie Yixiao got two shops and two granges.
One of the two granges is also on the outskirts of the Imperial City, the one that Mrs. Xie gave her before, and the other is a little far away, in Wangdi Town outside the Imperial City, it takes half a day to arrive by carriage.
In addition, the family is also ready for Xie Yixiao's dowry, she married well, and the family is naturally much more generous to her, in addition to the provisions of 10,000 taels of silver, there is also a shop and a house.
It happened that most of the things assigned to Xie Yiling were made up, and these were also under the management of Steward Chen.
In addition, the elders have their own purchases, and the elders are also very generous, and this pass down, the dowry industry is a big deal, and she still has her mother's.
Xie Yixiao was stunned for a while when he saw these listed things: "Give me all these?" ”
Mrs. Xie nodded: "What your father should have given you, what the family gave you, and it was also discussed, you can rest assured that you can take it, and when you get married in the future, it is not easy to be tight in this hand, and what the elders give you is also love for you." ”
It was also because Xie Yixiao married Rong Ci, who was the ninth young lady of the Rongguo Mansion in the future, and the future princess of the Dingwang Mansion, so she was given these things, and the people in the clan were very happy.
Even if Xie Yixiao doesn't do anything, having this family will be of great benefit to the Xie family.
As for the elders, there are only a few people in the Xie family, and everyone in each family has a little family background, so they naturally have to give some.
Mrs. Xie saw that she was in a trance, and said: "You don't need to think about it, the Xie family still has some family background, and in the previous years, taking advantage of the fact that the families of the previous dynasty left one after another, they also bought a lot." ”
Nowadays, the family wealth of each family is saved in this way, the court is replaced, some are afraid of being liquidated, and they sell the industry at a low price and run away, and some families like the Liao family have been reduced to selling ancestral property to live, and the families with money and power in their hands have begun to buy and operate.
Moreover, there are so many powerful families in the imperial city, and there are naturally a lot of things in each family.
Xie Yixiao probably had a deep understanding of what it meant to be 'most of the wealth in the hands of a few', and half of the shops and granges in the imperial city were probably occupied by the family.
Ordinary people want to have a shop in the Imperial City, it is really difficult, and sometimes there is money and no one sells it to you.
One of the great problems of the feudal monarchy was that even the land was in the hands of a small number of people, and many of the people did not have land of their own, so they could only lease the landlord's land for cultivation, so that the grain grown had to pay the state tax and pay a part of it to the landlord.
If you are lucky, you can get by with a conscience, but if you meet someone who has no conscience, the days are really hard, and you work hard all year round, working like an old cow, but you don't even have many days to eat.
But in the world, if you want to ask others to have a conscience to live, that's really ......
Xie Yixiao was in a trance.
Mrs. Xie said: "If you and Yiling want to swap places, while Steward Zhao and Steward Chen are here, you can discuss it yourself, and you can make your own decisions." ”
Xie Yi smiled and came back to his senses and said yes.
After coming out of Sixian Hall, the group went to a courtyard in the outer courtyard, and the two sisters and brothers began to change the shop, originally Steward Chen was in charge of the two shops in Xie Qingshan's private property, and Steward Chen wanted to change it back, after all, he had been running it, he was more familiar with it, and he didn't need to change it to a new one.
Xie Yiling has no opinion, although the shops are different and the operation is uneven, but he has already gotten a lot, so he doesn't care about this, anyway, no matter which shop is a new shop for Steward Zhao, if the business is not good, then think about it, but it really can't be done, so he will rent it out.
Xie Yixiao and Xie Yiling changed the shop surface, so they talked to Mrs. Xie and invited someone from the government to come over and help change the name of the title deed and house deed, and the ownership was clear.
After that, the property assigned to Xie Yiling was managed by Steward Zhao, Mrs. Xie helped to watch it, and when Xie Yiling got married in the future, she would hand it over to him, and Xie Yixiao would need her to take care of this part in the future.
The days before she got married were the time for her to learn to get started, and if she didn't understand anything, she could ask Mrs. Xie.
After being so busy, it was the twenty-fourth day of March, and on this day, the Changning Marquis Mansion held a funeral for Gu You, and Xie Yixiao went with Wen and Jiang Zhaoling.
There were white flags and white silk hanging at the entrance of Changning Hou, and the whole mansion was quiet, and the group went to incense.
The Gu family prepared a mound for Gu You, intending to put her in the ground, and all the dust to the dust, from then on, there is no Gu You in this world, and they don't recognize the one outside.
After the three of them finished the incense, they went to meet the Jiang family.
The Wen family came today on behalf of the Xie family, and seeing the sadness on Jiang's face, he persuaded him: "Old lady Gu mourns, but you should pay attention to your body." ”
Jiang nodded: "It's rare that you can come, I'm fine, sit down, there is no good tea to entertain you today." ”
Wen said: "Old Madam Gu is polite, our two families are relatives, why bother to stick to this cup of tea." ”
Wen, like other guests, came to the door with incense, said a few words to the host, and after the ceremony was complete, he took his leave and left.
Xie Yixiao and Jiang Zhaoling stayed behind to accompany the Jiang family.
