Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heart-to-Heart
She closed the dowry slip and patted it gently in her palm.
Suddenly asked: "Mama, I don't remember clearly, don't I have any cash in this dowry?"
Mama Gui glanced at her carefully, as if she was afraid that she would have a pimple in her heart, and said thoughtfully: "There is cash silver, how can there be no cash silver!"
Miss Six was unhappy because of this marriage at that time, and when she got married, the silver ticket sent by the wife of the prince of the British government was placed here for her, and she thought about telling Chu Lian afterwards that she was shocked by the way their young husband and wife got along in the past two days, and she forgot about it.
Finally, there was something that did not disappoint Chu Lian, her eyes lit up instantly, and she asked urgently, "How many?"
Mama Gui was a little surprised, pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed dryly twice, and stretched out five fingers.
Chu Lian smiled, "Five hundred taels?"
Mama Gui's eyes widened, obviously she didn't expect her to guess correctly, shouldn't this ordinary noble girl guess five thousand taels?
Looking at Chu Lian's smiling face, Xiyan's heart tightened, but she felt that Chu Lian's easily contented appearance made her feel distressed and sad.
Although the British government has no successor and gradually falls, it is also a national mansion, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the fourth lady of the big house got married, because the mother liked it, and the silver for the marriage escort was also 1,000 taels!
No matter what their young lady says, she is also a serious concubine, but she is treated like this.
"Sixth Miss......" Xiyan called Chu Lian in a low voice.
Whenever this girl called her Miss Six in such a low and nasal voice, Chu Lian knew that Xiyan had gotten into a dead end and didn't want to open it.
Her voice was crisp and indifferent, "What's so sad about it, five hundred taels is not a lot, and an ordinary family of three can spend ten taels of silver for a year! Besides, my mother died early, and you still expect a child without a mother to be the same as a child with a mother? Although my dowry is less, the person who marries is not good, and the elders in the Jing'an Mansion are all easy to get along with, so what am I not satisfied with? I have seen it all, can't you still see it?" Besides, what does it matter if there is less silver, we can earn it ourselves, and there is nothing better in the world than less silver. ”
Hidden behind Chu Lian's words is her incomparably strong self-confidence and perseverance, in that era when science and technology broke out and human nature was distorted, she could survive with perseverance, not to mention the Great Martial Dynasty that did not even exist in the real world in this small book.
To be able to enjoy life is to be able to bear life, which is what a smart woman should understand.
Mama Gui and Xiyan were stunned by Chu Lian's words, Mama Gui is older, and she has more things to do than Xiyan, and she reacts faster. She nodded with relief, as if she saw that the delicate flower she was protecting in front of her had finally broken free from the shackles and gave birth to fragrant and beautiful flower bones, no longer the lonely and fragile Cui Bi struggling in the mire.
Xiyan was still stunned, Chu Lian's sweet voice was still echoing in his ears, "There is nothing better to solve in the world than silver", what a proud and confident sentence this is, all living beings, how tired and even life-threatening for those dirty and smelly copper plates, the world is all for profit, this sentence is not unreasonable.
When Chu Lian said this just now, Xi Yan seemed to see the shallow white light on her body, like an awe-inspiring god and Buddha, and found that the young lady was looking at her with gentle eyes, and suddenly, she was relieved. Whether it was the treatment he received in the British government, or the knots that had been buried in his heart for many years, they all turned into small gold dots and disappeared in an instant.
"Yes, what Miss Six said is that the slaves and maids all listen to Miss Six. ”
Chu Lian tilted her head and saw that the girl Xiyan pulled the corners of her mouth, smiled and showed two sharp tiger teeth on both sides, and was also happy for her.
This heartfelt girl with a knot in her heart, if she untied the knot as early as she did today, she would not die in vain because of "Chu Lian" in the future.
"Okay, let's go back after we're done!" Chu Lian stood up and took Mama Gui and Xiyan back to Songtao Garden.
After returning to the courtyard, Mama Gui privately presented the purse containing five hundred taels of silver tickets to Chu Lian with both hands, "Third grandmother, this is the silver given by Mrs. Shizi on the day of your wedding." ”
Chu Lian took it, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, he saw that there were five silver tickets with a face value of one hundred taels neatly placed inside, all of which were expensive tickets from Chase Bank.
She took out one of them and handed it to Mama Gui, "Mama, you take this one hundred taels, keep it for emergencies, and I'll keep the rest." ”
Looking at the one hundred taels of expensive tickets, Mama Gui shook her hand again and again, "No, no, this is the silver for the third grandmother's marriage, where can the old slave get it, rest assured, you don't need the silver in the house, where you need to deal with any emergency." ”
After speaking, her eyes turned red, remembering that in the British Mansion before, Miss Six put away the silver like a treasure all day long, for fear that they would be found out and secretly taken away, although she didn't care about Chu Lian's actions at that time, but there was always a pimple in her heart, although the relationship was close, but after all, the two were master and servant, and the most taboo between master and servant was that there was a suspicion.
Chu Lian grinned, how could he not guess what Mama Gui was thinking, and secretly pouted in her heart, scolding the original owner for being too ignorant.
Regardless of Gui Mama's refusal, Chu Lian stuffed the silver ticket into Gui Mama's hand, "Mama take it, there is always a case in everything, it's better to have money than no money." The silver in this world can do most things, and I still have four hundred taels here! It is also a large amount, and I can see it now, this silver is not spent when I get it in my hand, and I pay attention to what I do with so much. Mama, I was wrong before, I was too careful, don't take it to heart. ”
Hearing Chu Lian say this, Mama Gui couldn't hold back for some reason, two lines of clear tears flowed, choked up, clenched the thin silver ticket in her hand, couldn't speak, and could only nod vigorously. Which heartfelt servant of the Lord doesn't want to be recognized and trusted by his master, for the sake of today's heart-to-heart relationship with Chu Lian, Mama Gui feels that the grievances she suffered before are worth it.
She said silently in her heart: Madam, have you seen it? Miss is really sensible now, and you can rest assured underground.
Chu Lian saw that Mama Gui was out of control, and deliberately wanted to make her happy.
She stretched out her head to stare at Mama Gui's somewhat embarrassed face covered with tears, smiling, her two watery apricot eyes bent into two beautiful crescents, "What's the matter, Mama dislikes me for giving less? When I make money in the future, I must let Mama count the money until her hands cramp." ”
Mama Gui laughed out loud when she teased her, and glared at Chu Lian angrily, "The third grandmother will make the old slave happy!"
"Then I'm not kidding Mama, doesn't Mama believe me?"
"Believe it! Mama believes in you the most!"
"Hee-hee. ”
Mama Gui stared at the delicate face like a flower in front of her, her heart suddenly brightened, and she felt that there was no moment as comfortable as now, the previous sixth miss was gloomy and forbearing, and the current sixth miss was like a beautiful jade that had completely wiped off the dust, and her whole body was warm, which made people can't help but want to get closer. As for whether Miss Six will make money or not, what does it matter? As long as their master and servant are safe, she is easily content.
