430. One Eighteen of Beichanghang(1/2)
Chapter 430
During the Lantern Festival, Master Chaoyun learned that the twins had almost gone bankrupt due to gambling. It was A Xi and Master Chaoyun who ate dumplings while talking about the miserable appearance of the twins. "I have been listless for several days and I won't eat meat anymore."
Master Chaoyun also asked, "It looks pretty good today." The twins had eaten dumplings early and went to the flower room to play.
A Xi said, "They have found a living to make money now. My brother hired them as a book boy. When school starts, they have to be a cow and horse for my brother after school every day. My brother gives them 7 and 5 taels per person per month, and one hundred taels per person a year. In this way, they can earn the lost money back, so they will be better off."
Master Chaoyun and Luo Daru laughed. For a moment, Master Chaoyun asked the twins if he had lost all the New Year's money he gave. The twins were very glad, "I didn't lose what my grandfather gave, I left them all." Mainly, Grandfather Chaoyun made a big deal, and always gave Jinzi. The twins looked at Jinzi tightly and didn't take it out to bet with the elder brother.
Grandfather Chaoyun's pretentious heart has been very helpful, and it is no different from countless elders who dote on his grandsons. Grandfather Chaoyun also belongs to the kind of person who is completely unprincipled. Thinking that the twins have lost their wealth, they have to compensate each one with one Jin Tao to compensate the twins. Unexpectedly, the twins who have always been greedy for money have not yet been asked for money. "Although I lost a little, I can earn it back in one year. Wherever I lose money, I ask my grandfather for subsidies. If I say this, we will lose face."
A little brat, he still knows he wants to save face.
Ayan nodded as well, but he booked the golden peach from Chaoyun's grandfather and said, "Grandfather, keep the golden peach and give it to us when we celebrate our birthday." It is counted as the birthday gift.
Chao Yun's grandfather smiled, "No, it's gone when you celebrate your birthday."
The twins were so hesitant, but in the end, the two of them were like cutting their flesh, and they still didn't want to look at Grandpa Yun's golden peach. A Xi said, "That's the same!"
Chaoyun's grandfather smiled at Ah Xi, "I look more and more like an older sister."
"That's right, I don't care about them, who cares about them?" Ah Xi has been very good at disciplineing twins since she was a child.
Then, the ending of this incident was that after a year of being a book boy for A Ye, A Nian was a man who was a terrified man and could not afford to hire twins. Then, the matter was learned by Chaoyun's grandfather, Chaoyun's grandfather was so rich that he immediately hired twins and worked for him after school. The money he paid was 30% more than A Ye's.
The twins responded happily, and were despised by their sister for a second time.
Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
Now that the first month has passed, just after the Spring Festival of Ice Lantern Festival, Mrs. He started packing things. Brother Jun and the Du family’s marriage was decided two years ago, and they also watched the wedding day. After the Spring Examination, it was decided not to affect Brother Jun’s pediatric examination. Otherwise, if you get married, there will be many trivial matters, and Brother Jun’s first experience of being a woman, and he is afraid of being distracted.
To put it, in He Zijin's opinion, it was very decisive. It was definitely not the various ways of "success in scientific research, and then marrying a beautiful woman" performed in the drama in his previous life. The two families discussed marriage, like the Yu family and the Du family, and since they saw this marriage, A Lie was just a scholar at the time, and Jun Ge'er was just a juren before, and the Yu family was just as suitable as the Du family, so he decided to make the marriage without any delay.
Although he brought the money to him first and asked Chen Su to help him with the cooking, He Gong was fine when Brother Jun got married and his parents were not in front of him. He had always been kind to his brother-in-law, and his eldest son was also a full-time man, so his second son's marriage should be fine. Shen and Mrs. He were very worried, and felt a little aggrieved. So he packed up his things and asked someone to deliver them to Brother Jun. Of course, there were things for the eldest son's family and things for the younger brother's family, but most of them were for Brother Jun.
Little did he know that the delivery of things caused a small quarrel between A Lie and his luck.
The thing is like this. He Zijin has always been rich. Because she was married in the imperial capital, some of the things she prepared in her hometown were useless. But because she was the eldest daughter and married A Nian, who was homeless, without a job, no father or mother, her parents were the only daughter, and the dowry she gave was to do her best. In addition, the makeup he gave was not less than the betrothal gifts he gave to his younger brothers. In addition, He Zijin is a good person to live a life. Over the years, she has accumulated a lot of savings. When A Lie got married, He Zijin gave A Lie a thousand silver, which was the subsidy of his sister to his younger brother. Now that Jun Ge'er is getting married, He Zijin treats him naturally the same, so she asked her mother to send him to Jun Ge'er.
He was very moved by his maid's affectionate and righteous behavior and said many times to his daughter-in-law in private, "We girls are just conscience, you and her aunt." He always led all the good qualities to him, because He had no relatives, but there were some illegitimate brothers, which were the grandfather of the third girl, and He was like an enemy of this illegitimate brother. When He got married, he almost turned against his parents for the betrothal gift, so He I have never subsidized my parents' family. Therefore, I extended this quality to my daughter. Although I haven't seen her daughter for many years, I know that my parents' family is an official in Beichang Prefecture and I send people to send things around every year. I even gave her a lot of private money. No one has ever said about these things. It is still in the confidential stage, but it does not prevent her from praising her daughter when she praises her daughter.
Shen said, "Yes." Of course, the eldest sister-in-law is very good, but Shen still thinks that the daughter is better. If the daughter is not really rich, Shen would not be able to accept the money. After all, the daughter has a daughter and she has to live her own life. However, the daughter is doing well, and the son-in-law is also going well as the son-in-law. The sister wants to subsidize her younger brother, so Shen took the money for her son and ordered people to send it to the imperial capital, asking the eldest son to give the money to the second son.
Just let Yu Xing know about this.
Yu Xing also said, "Sister treats second brother very well." Yu Xing was not jealous. She was born in a family of officials and her father was already a third-rank minister. Although the Du family was in the position of Dali Temple, in terms of family background, there was absolutely no way to compare with a family like the Yu family. Moreover, the Yu family was still the relative of Queen Mother Xie, so in Yu Xing's opinion, the second brother-in-law was not as good as hers. Therefore, I thought that my elder sister-in-law might have seen that the wife married by my brother-in-law was not as good as hers, so I subsidized my brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, my husband said casually, "Everyone has it. When we got married, my sister gave it to me."
Yu Xing didn't realize anything at first, just thinking that my elder sister-in-law is really a good deal. However, after thinking about it, it wasn't right. Yu Xing asked her husband, "Why haven't I seen this thousand taels of silver before?"
A Lie knew that he had let go of his mouth and immediately said he was speechless.
When Yu Xing got married, he was a little bit big, so he spent as much as he could. But with his eldest son A Can and now with his second son A Xuan, Yu Xing is very good at living a frugal life, thinking about saving family business for his son.
After Yu Xing asked this, A Lie looked around and said to him, "Look at what else did you say in your mother's letter?"
"It's nothing, tell me why I haven't seen that one thousand taels of silver! Didn't you say that the private house was handed over to me?" After the couple had a harmonious relationship, A Lie saw that his wife would live a life. The key is that since he came to the imperial capital, Yu Xing was guided by his mother, and he realized that the man had a private house. When Yu Xing asked A Lie for private houses, A Lie took care of his hundreds of taels of silver for his wife.
Yu Xing asked this question, A Lie was irritated, and in the end he had to give his wife a private house of more than 1,300 taels. He even scolded him, "Look at it, not honest at all, I fooled me last time. What did you say, what did you fool me? Do you have any external intentions?"
"I'm so unjust. You don't know if I have any external feelings." A Lie smiled apologized, "I really forgot."
"I forgot what I have forgotten, I don't know you yet." Yu Xing said, "I don't want this money myself. My sister subsidizes my second brother one thousand taels. It's hard for us to compete with my sister. Two younger brothers, one of them is 500 taels, how about it?"
A Lie was so grateful that he felt that his wife could do things. In fact, he thought so, because he was afraid that his wife would disagree, so he wanted to use private subsidies to his younger brother. Yu Xing sneered, "Although I am a wife, I still have this knowledge. Although we are not rich, our younger brothers are not outsiders. We will be happy all the time. How can I be stingy about it?" When she got married, her brothers and sisters also gave her private subsidies. Now she saw that her elder sister gave her money to her second brother-in-law. She and her husband are the elder brothers and sisters. How can I be stingy about it? Besides, she has never been stingy.
After taking out the 1,000 taels of silver notes, Yu Hao returned the remaining 300 taels to A Lie, and said, "You should keep these 300 taels for your own pocket."
"What do I still accept this? You will trow the silver for me before going out every day." A Lie pushed the silver to his wife and said, "You can just take it." Then, A Lie flipped through, took out the land deed of the village to his wife and said, "You can also take this village." It was because the wife said that the subsidy for her younger brother today made A Lie feel relieved. Moreover, the two have been married for more than ten years, and the wife really lives with him, so A Lie took out her private room.
Yu Xing was not very angry at first, but when he saw the land deed, he couldn't help but get angry again, "Is there a Zhuangzi still not telling me?"
A Lie said, "Looking at your anxious look, I bought this farm in Beichang Prefecture after my sister gave me the money. You also know that Beichang Prefecture has a large place and cheap land price. It was originally a small farm. Later, the farm was harvested and I bought some land and raised two thousand acres. These silvers are the production of the farm. If you are okay, I will give it to you. In the future, I will ask them to hand it over to you."
"Don't fool me, my sister will give you a thousand silver. The land price in Beichang Mansion is cheap and you have to spend three taels of silver per acre. But it will increase to two thousand acres in the past few years? Can you still get a profit of more than one thousand taels?" Yu Xing was not easy to fool in the past few years.
"It's not just given by my sister, but also by Brother Aren and the third sister, who built a village together. They are really here." A Lie had a honest face, "If I weren't honest, how could I take out this village? You didn't find it, right?"
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a look of "You are quite tactful", and said, "I should have kept it for me, but I won't deduct your money. Don't think about hiding your private house all day long. This is the first time, and it's not good to ask me to know."
A Lie hurriedly gave up countless good things and made his wife happy.
Yu Xing went back to her parents' home to talk about this with her mother, and said funny, "No matter how honest a person is, he is also very sensible. Look at my husband, he looks so honest on weekdays, and he will hide his private room with me on his back."
Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "All men are like this. The son-in-law is not a mess. Don't worry about him too tightly on weekdays."
"I don't care about him too tightly. He is just a stingy person and thinks I'm a stingy person."
"You are not stingy. You used to be a random person. It's not that your son-in-law is worried about you." Mrs. Yu did not favor her daughter, and she often advised her.
Yu Xing smiled and said, "Aren't you young at that time? Look how frugal I am now. I usually have to make clothes at home by my maid."
Mrs. Yu said, "Life is like this. Now Acan has gone to school and has grown up in a blink of an eye. Then, let's talk about marrying a wife, which is not a silver."
Yu Xun put a piece of chestnut crisp in his mouth and nodded, "Yes."
Mrs. Yu asked, "Will your third brother-in-law end this year?"
"The third brother said in his letter that he had not prepared enough, so he would not end. However, he had nothing to do at home, saying that he came to have a wedding banquet when his second brother got married."
Mrs. Yu asked, "Is the marriage between your third brother-in-law determined?"
"It's not decided yet. If the marriage of the third brother-in-law is decided, our wife will not not mention it in the letter." Yu Xing asked, "Mom, do you have any good marriage to tell us third brother?"
Mrs. Yu sent the maid down and whispered, "This is what I thought of myself. Do you think your aunt's cousin is just as good as your third brother-in-law?"
"My aunt has been in office for many years, and I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. How can I know if it's not a good match?"
"Where is the family?"
"My uncle is now also a prefect, and he is an official in a good territory like Yangzhou. If you want to talk about family status, you will naturally deserve it."
Mrs. Yu sighed, "Your aunt's house, if it weren't for the ungrateful brother-in-law who was ungrateful and prodigal brother-in-law at the beginning, how could your uncle have been like this?"
"I'll forget you, mom, don't mention this matter, mom, don't mention it. Just the Li family, I almost harmed my elder sister-in-law at that time. As long as my cousin's origin is mentioned, my parents-in-law would probably not be happy." Yu Xing said. She forgot about this. In fact, if she hadn't known it after getting married, she would have known that her parents-in-law's family had a little conflict with her aunt's family. This conflict was not a small conflict. To be honest, her aunt also married the famous Li family back then. Her father-in-law Li Zhongnan was the best friend of her grandfather and was once the second-rank governor of Shuzhong. Later, Li Zhongnan failed to be the governor of the position because she gave birth to an unworthy son Li Liulang. When Governor Li was in Shuzhong, then Li
Liu conspired with Emperor Taizong's family who loved Qian Meiren's love for beauty in the palace, and in the name of beauty selection in the palace, he deceived many ladies from Shu. Later, he deceived the He family. The He family was only a scholar at that time, but they had some extraordinary insights. The family was unwilling to ask their daughter to enter the palace. Li and Qian failed to cheat, and they forced each other with power. It was also Li Liu who was a sinister to do Tai Sui. Who knew the identity of Taoist Chaoyun at that time? He thought he was an ordinary Taoist priest. At that time, the He family did not know the origin of Taoist Chaoyun, but his elder sister-in-law He Zijin was born with this blessing, so he fell into Taoist Chaoyun's eyes and worshiped Taoist Chaoyun as a Taoist.
Master Li Liu is a sinister and a retribution for Taoist Chaoyun. Although Taoist Chaoyun's family was defeated, he was the only son of Princess Fusheng. After all, he was the only son of Princess Fusheng. After the defeat of the Fang family, Princess Fusheng passed away. Emperor Taizong was not willing to kill him. Moreover, Taoist Chaoyun has always served people from the court, so Li Liu is really looking for death! Taoist Chaoyun needs to pursue the matter, let alone the fact that he deceived the daughter of a good family in the name of the court all means that he would send the daughter of a woman to the palace to be the empress, and Emperor Taizong could not take the blame! The Li family was defeated. If it weren't for the marriage of a daughter later, the Silang of the Li family would marry a girl from the Yu family, and the Yu family
Old Lady Yu was the aunt of Empress Dowager Xie. At that time, Empress Dowager Xie was still Princess Xie, but because of this relationship, Li Silang was able to move forward in the officialdom. Compared with his father and other brothers who were implicated by his sixth brother, Li Silang was actually lucky. Her wife Yu Yao was the daughter of Mrs. Yu, and Yu Yao was the cousin of Empress Dowager Xie. In fact, she was a little younger than Empress Dowager Xie, but she was only a little older. She often went to the royal palace to talk to Empress Dowager Xie, who was still Princess Xie. With the relationship between the Yue family and his wife, Li Silang was able to be stable in the officialdom, otherwise, with the case at his family, his future would be over.
When Mrs. Yu mentioned it, Yu Xing thought of this previous relationship and directly told her mother about her opinion.
Mrs. Yu thought about it and said that the same is true. The He family is still not at a high level, but the situation of the He family, three sons, one Jinshi and two Juren. Moreover, Brother Jun has also been appointed as the daughter of the Dali Temple Qing family. Even if Brother Jun cannot pass the subject, he is still a young Juren, and can still be a fight for another three years. The He family is booming and has no special friendship with the Li family, and has previous events, so how could he respond to this marriage?
Mrs. Yu laughed, "It's just that I'm talking so hard. Yes, I've forgotten the matter of your aunt's family. Alas, after all these years, it's a pity to think of it. Your aunt's family is so good. Just his old man, who knew so much before, had to build a kiln sister. This is not a waste of money, and the family business of a lifetime has caused the evil and evil! So, when your grandfather fell in love with his son-in-law and wrote to me to talk about this marriage with your father, I would be willing. Now it seems that it's so rare for a son-in-law to have such a duty." Li Liulang, who harmed the Li family, was born in the outer room of Governor Li.
Yu Xing smiled, "My brother is not a fool."
"That's true, our family is all responsible." Mrs. Yu said.
Mrs. Yu asked about the gifts given by her daughter when her second brother-in-law got married, for fear that something was wrong. Yu Xing talked roughly with her mother, and then talked about her husband's private room, "Our eldest sister-in-law is so generous. When I got married with my husband, my eldest brother-in-law was the county magistrate. In fact, I just got married and gave her husband a thousand taels of silver, saying that it was a marriage subsidy for him."
Mrs. Yu smiled, "This is the son-in-law's private room."
"No, he is smart. He has made a fortune every year after he has bought a small village. He has saved more than a thousand taels of money for his promising years."
Mrs. Yu was funny, "I can't tell that my son-in-law is quite good at living."
Yu Xing smiled, "No? A Can is like him. When he was four or five years old, he was very good at counting his gold and silver crocks. In the past, I kept him for him and went to school. After a few days, I asked me to take it and asked me to keep it myself. Now they have not learned to write yet, so he recognizes words, and he is still keeping accounts."
Mrs. Yu laughed loudly when she heard this, "There is still this."
"Yes, I've said that in the future, I won't be fooled by others." Yu Xing also found it interesting.
Mrs. Yu said, "It's better than you, a big casual person."
"I'm not casual anymore." Yu Xing said, "I told my husband that my second brother got married, except for the congratulations, I gave him five hundred taels in private and asked him to keep him to live a life. After all, this is in the imperial capital and he doesn't guard his parents-in-law. My second brother-in-law is a very shameful brother-in-law, and I'm afraid that he will be embarrassed to say it if he is tight."
Mrs. Yu nodded, "That's right, you are the elder brother and sister-in-law, you should take a closer look at Ah Hao." He Hao, the name of Jun Geer. Mrs. Yu experienced the world and said, "However, Ah Hao is like this when he gets married, so you should be average when your third brother-in-law gets married."
Yu Xing said, "I know that I have discussed it with my husband, and it's all the same, five hundred taels per person."
"That's great." Mrs. Yu said earnestly, "You are our little daughter. You have been spoiled since childhood. In the past, you only wanted to find a nice little son for you to marry. The little daughter-in-law is much easier than the eldest daughter-in-law. If you don't want to, you are the life of being the eldest daughter-in-law. Your in-laws' family is already prosperous, and your son-in-law is also a kind and calm person. I have nothing to worry about. Now that your second brother-in-law gets married, you will have a sister-in-law in the future. This sister-in-law must be harmonious. It's not that you are harmonious, and your brothers will be harmonious. This family is harmonious and everything will be prosperous."
"I know, mom, you have told me more than 1,800 times."
"There are more than 1,800 times, at most, I just want to recite a few times." Mrs. Yu smiled and saw that Shi Chen was almost free, she said, "You have to pick up A Can after school. Ask the servant to send A Can home, and then tell his son-in-law that he will come to the house and let us have supper together."
Yu Xing smiled and said that the first advantage of being in the imperial capital is that you can go back to your parents' home anytime and anywhere.
He Zijin didn't know how to give money to his younger brother, so that A Lie would expose his private house. In fact, He Zijin would not have thought that A Lie would hide his private house by himself. In He Zijin's heart, his eldest brother A Lie has always been such a gentle and steady person!
He Zijin later found out that this matter was what Brother Jun said when he wrote to me. Brother Jun had no one to keep in mind.
He Zijin smiled when he saw Brother Jun’er’s letter, and Shen also laughed, “This kid A Lie has this kind of scrupulousness.”
Mrs. He said, "At first, his wife was so generous, the child had to make a plan. Now that his wife is ready, he should keep the private house for his wife." Mrs. He said with a straight face and was upright. As a result, he turned around and asked his son if he had a private house. If his son had a private house, he had to hide it well! Also, if there was a danger of hiding it well, do I need to let me keep it for you~ He asked He Gong to laugh and cry. He fell in love with Shen at first sight, and was beaten by his mother to marry Shen. After finally getting married to Shen, he hurriedly handed over the private house to Shen within three and a half days. From then on, Mr. He Gong became a man without a private house.
Mrs. He asked her son very carefully, but found that her son really had no private room. She depressed her mother and said to her girl in private, "Your father is really a honest person."
"It's not good to be honest. A Nian is like my father and never hides a private house."
To be continued...
