Chapter 316: Calculation
After hearing this, the mothers-in-law went to the account room to be governed, and did not settle accounts with Nangong Weiman, but they did not take out a few more yuan of money a year, and they were all very happy, and they all said: "If you are willing to go out and be rubbed by him gently, you have to take out the money."
Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "Mothers, don't shirk it, this is what you should do. You just need to work hard day and night, don't be lazy and indulge people to eat, drink and gamble. I can't help but go to the small and the big, and I can't afford to say that everyone thinks of me. If I only care about a small share of fame and reputation, and then I get drunk and gambling and have an accident, how can I see my aunt? You regret it too late at that time, and even your old face has been lost. If you are heard by the housekeepers, they don't have to go back to your aunt, but they will teach you. Therefore now I have conceived this additional benefit for you, and I have joined together for you to make all the prudence of this garden, so that those who are in authority to deacons may see such solemnity and prudence, and do not need their rashness, and they will not be reverent in their hearts, nor will they deserve in vain for you, and if they can take away their power and produce your gain, will they not be able to rule by inaction, and share their worries? ”
The family members all said happily: "What the girl said is very true, from now on, the girl and grandmother can only rest assured, the girl and grandmother take care of us like this, and we will not be considerate and the world will not tolerate it." As soon as he said, he saw Lin Zhixiao's family come in and say: "The family members in the Zhen Mansion in Jiangnan arrived in Beijing yesterday and entered the palace today to congratulate them. ”
Zhao Yushan also saw it and said, "Reward him with a first-class seal." Mrs. Chen ordered someone to call Zhao Yushan, Nangong Weiman, Liu Jingxuan, and others also came over and read the gifts. Mrs. Chen said: "This Zhen family is not the same as other families, and the best rewards reward men, but I am afraid that I will send women to ask for peace and prepare to go down." Before he finished speaking, he replied: "The four women of the Zhen Mansion came to ask for peace." Mrs. Chen listened and hurriedly ordered someone to bring it in.
The four of them were all over forty years old, and the things they wore were not much different from those of their masters. Mrs. Chen smiled and asked, "I haven't been in Beijing all these years, and I don't want to come this year." The four of them also smiled and replied: "Exactly, this year I entered Beijing by order." Mrs. Chen asked, "Are all the family members here?" The four of them replied, "The old lady and the elder brother, the two young ladies and the other wives did not come, so only the wife brought the third girl." ”
Mrs. Chen said, "Does anyone have any?" and the four said: "Not yet." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Your eldest girl and second girl are very good with our family. The four of them laughed and said, "Exactly, every year the girls have a letter back saying that they are all indebted to the house to take care of them." Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "What kind of care, it was originally a world friend, and it was an old relative, it should be. The four of them laughed and said, "This is the old lady who is too modest." Mrs. Chen asked again: "Your brother also follows your old lady?" The four of them replied: "I also follow the old lady." Mrs. Chen said, "How old are you?" and asked, "Have you ever gone to school?" The four laughed and said: "I am thirteen years old this year. ”
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "It's not our family's anymore!, what's your brother's name?" The four said: "Because the old lady is like a baby, and he is born white, the old lady is called Liu Jingxuan." Mrs. Chen said to Zhao Yushan: "It is also called Liu Jingxuan." Zhao Yushan hurriedly bowed and smiled: "From ancient times to the present, there are many names that have been renamed. The four of them also smiled and said: "After giving this nickname, we are all puzzled, I don't know that the family of relatives and friends seems to have one. Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "How dare you, it's my grandson." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "The garden called our Liu Jingxuan, and showed these four housekeepers how they compare to their Liu Jingxuan?"
When the four of them saw it, they got up and said with a smile: "If we don't come to the house, if we meet somewhere else, we just say that it is our Liu Jingxuan who has also rushed into Beijing." While speaking, they all came up to take his hand and asked long and short.
Mrs. Chen smiled: "How long do you look like you?" Zhao Yushan and the others smiled: "As soon as the four mothers said it, they can see that they look similar." Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Then there is such a coincidence? The children of the whole family are delicate, except for the disability on their faces, which are very dark and ugly, they probably look the same neat, and there is nothing strange about it." ”
The four laughed and said, "Now it seems that the appearance is the same, according to the old lady, the naughty is the same. Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" The four of them laughed and said, "Just now we can tell that we are talking with my brother's hand. Before the four of them finished speaking, Sister Zhao Yushan and the others couldn't help laughing.
