Chapter 350: Death

Mrs. Liang said that Mrs. Gan has moved to the back garden. She came here to tell you.

Now that the prince has inherited the title, the original Gan Da Nai has become Mrs. Gan, and the original Mrs. Gan is revered as the Tai Fu.

Eleven Niang sent Mother Song to retreat, and the next day she took the small box with red paint and gold to Gan Mansion.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the family property should be divided equally among the legitimate concubines. The third wife’s father was also one of the people who competed with the new Zhongqin Bo for the property. Mrs. Gan did not want to offend the eleventh mother, so she asked the neutral Xu family to stand against her. She smiled

He respectfully accompanied Eleven Niang to Mrs. Gan's yard.

The courtyard is built in the northeast corner of the back garden. It has two small black doors, a wall shadow at the entrance, and around the wall shadow, there are three side rooms on the left and right, and three main rooms with wing rooms in the front. Although the yard is neat, it is bare.

Not to mention trees, there were not even pots of flowers and trees. Only the little pug that Mrs. Gan had originally raised lay lazily on the bluestone steps basking in the sun. It felt so lonely and lonely.

A maid had already gone in to report. As soon as Eleven Niang walked up the steps, Mrs. Gan personally welcomed her out.

She was wearing a black linen dress, her shiny black hair was neatly tied into a bun, and she had no hairpins at all. She was dressed like a widow. Although there was obvious cyan under her eyes, she was more energetic than last time.

It felt better when I saw him.

You are here, Mrs. Gan has a faint smile in her eyes.

Eleven Niang bent her knees to salute her and said: I heard from Lanting that you moved here, so I came here specially to see you.

Mrs. Gan said a few polite words to her and welcomed her and Mrs. Gan inside.

The room is completely furnished with black lacquer furniture, a landscape painting hangs in the middle hall, and a blue and white porcelain plum vase is placed on the long table, which was originally used by Mrs. Gan. There is a faint smell of raw lacquer in the room.

Everyone sat down as guests and hosts, and the little maid served tea and talked about some common things. A little maid came in and said: Madam, uncle invites you to the main room, saying that he has something to discuss with you.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gan couldn't sit still. She smiled and exchanged greetings with Eleven Niang, then warmly invited her to eat, and then went to the main room.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Gan took her into the inner room.

The two of them sat down on the kang near the window of the inner room, sent the little maid to serve, and the eleventh mother took out the box from her arms.

Mrs. Gan's face was full of gratitude: Fortunately, you sent someone to see me. Otherwise, this box would not have been sent out. Then in front of her, she placed the box behind the bedside board with the carving of Meng Mu's three journeys.

I turned around and sat on the kang. It was the title deeds of some properties that my uncle had secretly purchased for me a few years ago. I didn’t expect him to go there so quickly as I spoke, my eyes slightly wet.

Eleven Niang hurriedly took out the handkerchief and handed it to Mrs. Gan Tai, but she felt a little disapproving of it.

If you really plan for Mrs. Gan, in the next few years when your health is still good, you should find a way to let the first wife give birth to a son and raise it in Mrs. Gan’s name. What’s the use of leaving these properties to a woman’s selfless property? Mrs. Gan must also be able to take it.

Just get it.

She couldn't help but said: Do you want to discuss this matter with the General Secretary? There are also things like this about real estate transfers.

Mrs. Gan took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: My brother knows about this. At that time, the old uncle used these properties as the properties of my natal family and transferred them to my dowry. The uncle and I

My mother's brother is making a lot of noise just because of these properties.

Eleven Niang was very surprised when she heard this.

Mrs. Gan said: Those properties are all in the alley next to East Street. Not to mention a quiet place in the hustle and bustle, some century-old gouache shops and silver buildings in Yanjing are opened there. They are all old houses, and rich people can

I couldn't buy it. My uncle suspected that the dowry I was seeking was given by my uncle. Now I have made it clear. My eldest brother supports my uncle in using one-fifth of the family property as a land sacrifice, and he will not pursue these matters.

real estate.

Eleven Niang took a breath of cold air.

The Gan family's sacrificial field was in charge of the Zhongqin Bo in the past dynasties. One-fifth of the family property was used as a sacrificial field. In other words, before the public property was divided, one-fifth of it was allocated to the new chief.

In the hands of Uncle Zhongqin.

How could Mrs. Gan not know this?

She sighed softly and said half-heartedly: Stop talking about these messy things about me. Then she smiled and said, my maiden name is Fu Zhen, you can just call me Fu Zhen.

Only those who are very good friends will share their maiden names.

Eleven Niang smiled and called Mrs. Gan Tai "Sister Fuzhen" and said, "I'm keeping my words silently."

After hearing this, Fu Zhen smiled and called her silent sister.

Eleven Niang's expression was slightly suffocating.

To be honest, I'm really not used to being called that.

Mrs. Gan Tai did not pay attention to this, and asked her about it with concern: You should move back, how can you get used to it?

It means the wives and concubines live together again, right?

It's okay, right? Eleven Niang smiled implicitly and said, "You can't live in Shuixie for the rest of your life. There are some things that you can't avoid."

Mrs. Gan saw that she looked calm and calm, and her eyes fell on her abdomen.

The two of us also had some private conversations a few days ago.

Eleven Niang knew what she meant and said: I haven't moved yet

Mrs. Gan became a little worried when she heard this, and advised her: You should think it over carefully. Having a child will make your life much easier in the future.

Let it go. Eleven Niang's attitude is not very enthusiastic.

She knew that she would change a lot if she had a child, but she really didn't want to use the child as a bargaining chip in life. That little person who brings a bit of sweetness even though it makes people distressed should be the most beautiful gift in life. It is left to God.

Let's decide when to give it to her

Mrs. Gan sighed softly.

After all, Eleven Niang is too young. She still doesn’t understand the principle that flowers don’t last a hundred days and people don’t last a hundred days. However, this is also the reason why young people are so energetic. They always feel that they have a lot of time and a lot of opportunities.

Full of hope for the future.

She no longer advises Eleven Niang. Sometimes, only through personal experience can she change.

Mrs. Gan changed the subject and told her about the Mid-Autumn Festival: My son-in-law will come over today to give Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

"Well, Shiyi Niang said, I gave it a few days ago. In addition to the usual tea, wine, mooncakes and sweets, I also gave Cangzhou's specialty golden jujube."

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Gan came. She smiled and invited Eleven Niang to go to the main room for lunch. Eleven Niang excused herself as she had something to do at home, so she got up and left.

When I got home, I was thinking about Mrs. Gan’s yard. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t fall asleep. Xu Lingyi hugged her and asked: What’s wrong with sleeping so restlessly?

It’s okay, Eleven Niang said, maybe the autumn insects are a bit noisy.

Xu Lingyi listened carefully and only occasionally heard a few chirps.

He looked thoughtful.

The next day at noon, when I came back from the outer courtyard, I saw Song's mother and Ji Ting's wife holding the carriage on the little maid's hand at the Chuihua Gate.

When the two saw Xu Lingyi, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Song's mother explained: Madam sent me to send some Cangzhou golden jujubes sent by my uncle a few days ago to Uncle Zhongqin's house for Mrs. Gan to taste. She also pointed to Ji Ting.

Daughter-in-law, ask her to come with me and see what Mrs. Madam is missing, and then send some flowers and trees.

Xu Lingyi was secretly surprised.

I didn’t expect Eleven Niang to take care of the Gan family’s wife like this.

He nodded calmly and returned to the inner room.

Eleven Niang was sitting on the kang, holding a card with words written on it, telling Xu Sijie how to read.

Did you see that these three words together are Xiang Jiuling. I am telling you the story of Huang Xiang sleeping, and you have to find these three words. Do you understand that you have infinite patience?

Xu Sijie hugged a small pillow and kept nodding.

Xu Lingyi was thoughtful.

Eleven Niang heard Xu Sijie calling daddy.

When the Marquis came back, she got off the kang with a smile.

A little maid ran in: Madam, there is a letter from Yuhang.

Eleven Niang took it and saw that the handwriting, graceful and light, was Master Jian's.

It was a letter from Master Jian. She explained to Xu Lingyi with a smile, then opened the letter, sat on the kang and began to read it. After a while, she looked up, and there was a hint of joy in her eyebrows: it said that it would start from Yuhang in mid-July.

As he spoke, his smile gradually faded. Why did this letter come so late? Counting the days, Master Jian and Qiu Ju will be arriving in the next two days.

When Eleven Niang sent her first letter, Master Jian wrote back and said that she was willing to come to Yanjing to have a look. However, because she still taught a few students, the date of arrival was uncertain. Since Eleven Niang had students, I am afraid it would not be until the end of this year.

Or maybe we can start the journey after next year. Unexpectedly, we will start the journey in the middle of the year.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Could it be that something happened?

Xu Lingyi thought he was worried that Master Jian came suddenly and couldn't find the place. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll just send someone to Tongzhou to pick him up."

Master Jian is a prostitute and it is her first time in Yanjing. It would be best if someone could pick her up.

Eleven Niang thanked Xu Lingyi. Xu Lingyi arranged for someone to go to Tongzhou to pick her up.

On the 15th day of August, Mrs. Tai first took the female family members to worship the moon at Biyi Gate, and then went to Qiongling Villa to eat moon cakes, drink osmanthus wine and admire the moon.

Brother Zhun and Xu Sijie carried the lanterns of Lord Rabbit and chased each other in the hall, singing Lotus Flowers. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household cut moon cakes, used wax paper to horse Lord Rabbit, played guessing games, and played children's songs while appreciating the moon.

Laughter.
