chapter eight

When Ping Niang saw Xue Chen not speaking, her eyes moved. After thinking about the reason why Xue Chen called her in and asked about this, she said tentatively:

"Although Mother Tong has a higher monthly period, she also has a lot of expenses. Wang Gui, who is in charge of her, not only has wine but also bets. He owes a lot of debts, but even if he loses, his money and silver are not enough for him. Therefore, Mother Tong's life is not easy. In addition, Wang Gui's family has many relatives, most of them have no money, and they often come to fight Qiufeng. After a while, the money is not enough." Ping Niang seemed to know that Xue Chen wanted to ask this. Before Xue Chen had thought about how to ask, she had already said everything.

“…”

Ping Niang's shrewdness completely changed Xue Chen's vision of her. Although she had at most aware of Ping Niang in her previous life, she didn't think she was smart. Now, after hearing her say these things, she just gave her a few simple words, which was quite a bit wise and foolish.

If she wanted to ask her to say more, Xue Chen continued to ask:

"But she is not in charge of the family for a day or two. How did Tong's mother's three-entry small courtyard come from? Ping Mama, you are in the mansion in the same year as Tong's mother, but don't you still live in the mansion until today? But where did Tong's mother have that money?"

This is the real question in Xue Chen's mind. Even if Tong Niang married the second shopkeeper of the Xue Family's office on Zhuque Street, Xue Chen still counts how much it costs to buy a three-entry courtyard in Beijing. It costs at least eight or nine hundred taels of silver. Tong Niang's one tael a month. If there is no other source, it will take sixty years to buy it. This matter itself is a question. Whether Tong Niang has a problem or Wang Gui has a problem.

Ping Niang looked at Xue Chen and felt that she saw a different appearance in this lady from the past. She seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She felt pity in her heart and said:

"I don't know where her money comes from. However, I said something to my heartfelt words to the lady. There are many dowry left by the wife. If the lady handed it over to Tong's mother to take care of it, it would be a good idea."

Xue Chen didn't say anything, but just looked at Ping Niang calmly. Her childish little face was as pure as a little fairy in the painting. After Ping Niang finished saying this, she lowered her head and stood up, saluted Xue Chen, and said, "I still have a lot of clothes outside. If the lady is fine, then I will leave."

Originally, Xue Chen called Ping Niang over to ask questions, but she didn't really want her to do something. She nodded and looked at Ping Niang's departure back and let out a heavy breath.

The words that Ping Niang said to her seemed to have said in her previous life, that expression and tone. However, in the previous life, she was too dependent on Tong Niang and felt that since she was the one who had appointed her mother to manage her mother's dowry, it would be fine if she could take care of her. Unfortunately, Xu Su'e didn't know what she said to Xue Yuntao, so she asked Xue Yuntao to take charge of Lu's dowry to Xu Su'e, saying that she would return it to her when Xue Chen got married. However, when Xue Chen was really married, what Xu Su'e handed over was unsatisfactory.

Therefore, Xue Chen always thought that Xu Su'e swallowed her mother's dowry, but now she thinks that she must not swallow it alone, Tong Niang...

Xue Chen took a bath, changed his clothes, walked out with his hair loose, and his delicate appearance appeared first and had a brilliant look. Then he saw Qin Feng coming over with two sets of newly cut plain clothes. The clothes had no extra colors and looked very simple. There was a white pearl hairband on the folded clothes and a pair of pearl earrings. Seeing Xue Chen, Qin Feng walked over and said to her:

"Miss, this is the clothes sent by Aunt Tian. She said she made them herself. She was going to come in to see the lady, but I said the lady was taking a shower, so she didn't come in, so she asked me to bring the clothes to the lady."

Aunt Tian is Xue Yuntao's maid. Later, when Lu was pregnant, she became a concubine. She served Xue Yuntao since she was a child and was respectful to Lu. Now there should be only one Aunt Tian, ​​who is a woman who is not very cunning but dares to make trouble. When Lu was the mistress, she was weak and she couldn't make trouble. However, later Xue Yuntao married Xu Su'e as a successor, and Aunt Tian ended in a bleak end. Later, it took until ten years for Xue Yuntao to take a concubine.

Without even looking at the clothes, Xue Chen said to Qin Feng: "Put it away and let the kitchen make a plate of jujube mud yam cake and hibiscus cake to send to Aunt Tian, ​​and said I thank her."

These two things are something that Lu likes to eat. Xue Chen didn't know what Aunt Tian likes to eat, so he gave the order.

After Qin Feng took the order, Zheng Yuan came over to tell Xue Chen that it was Xue Yuntao who had returned. After the funeral of Lu, Xue Yuntao wanted to thank his relatives who came to help in the five wardrobes as usual, and walked by one by one to show sincerity.

After a little while, Xue Chen walked out of Qingqueju and walked towards the main courtyard. He also asked Zheng Yuan to carry a pot of tea she made with her own hands. But when he walked to the main courtyard, he saw that Aunt Tian, ​​who was not allowed to enter the main courtyard without being summoned, was almost her step closer to her. When Xue Chen entered the door, she had just helped Xue Yuntao change his clothes in the inner room. The two of them had neat clothes, and they didn't seem to have done anything.

Aunt Tian is as old as Xue Yuntao, but she has a young face and is now in her thirties. She looks only in her early twenties, she is so beautiful and always looks very energetic. Because she is born in a farmer, she does not have much elegance like a lady from a wealthy family. If she really wants to say it, it is simply her characteristic.

When Aunt Tian saw Xue Chen, she hurriedly came up, took the tea from Zhen Yuan's hand, and said:

"As soon as the master asked me about the lady, the lady came. It turns out that it is a father-daughter connection."

Xue Chen didn't say anything, but replied with a faint smile, like a green little white lotus, which had just emerged with white and elegant sharp corners, making people involuntarily want to take care of her, and they wished they could bring all the good things in the world to this beautiful little girl.

Xue Yuntao was busy for days and was haggard for two rounds, but when he saw his daughter, he was still feeling a little better and said to Xue Chen: "You have been tired these days, why don't you rest well in the room?"

Xue Chen sat obediently next to Xue Yuntao with a faint smile, and let Aunt Tian pour tea for them, saying to Xue Yuntao: "My daughter is not tired, she can withstand it just like her father. This is the last thing we can do for our mother."

Xue Yuntao nodded with relief. He used to think that his daughter had been too fond of being spoiled by Lu. He was eleven years old and had no sense of sleekness in his words and actions, so he was not very likable. But he really didn't expect that after Lu went, this petite little girl could actually wake up by herself. She spoke and did things for days and felt like she had grown up all night, causing people to feel pity from the bottom of her heart.

Xue Chen came to Xue Yuntao's yard, and there was nothing else. He came to accompany Xue Yuntao for a meal. The father and daughter didn't say much. In addition, Lu's death was dead, and the mood was always heavy. Therefore, after a meal, the father and daughter did not have much interaction. Even so, Xue Chen felt very satisfied. After the meal, Xue Yuntao still had to go out for five wardrobes. Aunt Tian served Xue Yuntao and Xue Chen after the meal, and he consciously proposed to leave. Xue Chen was about to leave at this time. Aunt Tian said he would send her back to Qingqueju, but Xue Chen did not refuse.

Walking on the road, Aunt Tian followed Xue Chen and looked at the lady who was personally raised by her mistress Lu from time to time. The Lu family was born into a merchant. In Aunt Tian's mind, Lu's family was not as good as her own. However, her ancestors had a good fortune. She could marry into the Xue family, who had passed on poetry and books, and become the wife of the Xue family, who had passed on their families without doing anything in this life. She died and could still enter the Xue family's ancestral hall with a tablet.

It can be imagined that what kind of lady can teach Lu's personality? In Aunt Tian's impression, this lady was spoiled without any scheming. She believed whatever others said, and it was easy to deceive.

Now that Lu has gone, she is the only woman in the family. As long as she wins over the lady, the master will naturally see it. He was able to marry a daughter of a merchant as his wife, but I think he didn't care about his wife's background. If he could take this opportunity to be properly promoted...

Thinking of this, he walked faster and came to Xue Chen's side, deliberately putting close to him, "Has Miss received the clothes? My wife was sick before, and no one had to cook clothes for her. My stitches were pretty good. If the lady goes back and wears them, I will make them for her tomorrow."

Xue Chen did not answer Aunt Tian immediately, but walked a few steps with her before saying to her: "Isn't there an embroidery girl in the mansion? Isn't it necessary for Aunt to do it anywhere."

Aunt Tian was stunned, then quickly reacted and replied: "Yes, there is an embroiderer in the mansion, but what Aunt is doing is the aunt's affection for the lady. Thinking that the lady has lost her wife's love, it's just that she can't bear it."

Xue Chen suddenly stopped, Aunt Tian almost didn't react, and stopped urgently. When she turned around, she saw Xue Chen standing there looking at her without any expression. After she turned around and looked at her, Xue Chen's lips opened slightly and said:

"Do you think my father will one day straighten you and let you be Mrs. Xue?"

"..." Aunt Tian didn't expect that she originally thought she was easy to talk, but the ignorant lady could say this sentence sharply. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She twitched her lips for a while and said:

"Little, what did the lady say? Of course I don't have this idea..."

Xue Chen interrupted: "It's good if there is no one. Although my wife is old, there are rules in the mansion. If no one calls you next time, you won't have to go to the main courtyard. My father has someone to serve."

After saying this, Xue Chen took Zheng Yuan and straightened his back as before, proudly left in front of Aunt Tian, ​​leaving behind the stunned Aunt Tian looking at Xue Chen's leaving back, and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

"A stinky girl who is ungrateful and ungrateful. She has the same virtue as her mother! I'll bah!"

Aunt Tian has lived a very smooth life in the Xue family over the years. The master is not fickle and the mistress is easy to serve. Although she is an aunt, she has never had much food and clothing in the mansion. Even when the mistress is there, she can't help but give in to her. Now she is just a fake lady who has lost her legitimate mother and dares to show off her power in front of her. She doesn't let her go to the main courtyard... Haha, she is the only woman in the mansion. Besides her, there is anyone else who can serve her. The person who doesn't go at this time is the real fool. Twisted her waist and whispered. Aunt Tian rolled her eyes at the direction where Xue Chen left, and left with a humming voice.
