The Red Mansions

Chapter 231 Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have their own plans
Xiren is a carer.

According to her temperament, she would be reluctant to give this hundred taels of silver to her natal family for nothing.

But this is Jia Yun's arrangement, no matter how reluctant she is, she has to send it out.

After all, Hua Zifang took the money.

Afterwards, Xiren followed Mrs. Hua to the bedroom to talk about himself.

In another room, Mrs. Hua looked at Hua Zifang excitedly, her eyes lit up and said:

"Master, quickly open the box and have a look, I have never seen so much silver in my life!"

Hua Zifang was also trembling with excitement, her heart fluctuated, her hands and feet trembled.

The two came to the table and sat down, their eyes widened.

Hua Zifang took a deep breath, and carefully opened the box, and there were ten ingots of white flower silver lying firmly inside.

"Good guy! Xiren is blessed!"

Sister-in-law Hua tremblingly stretched out her hand to take out an ingot, she couldn't put it down.

Hua Zifang nodded silently, stretched out her hand to caress the silver ingots in the box, it was cold, and she felt very comforted in her heart.

"My younger sister has always had ideas since she was a child." Hua Zifang whispered.

"At the beginning, she made her own decision and came out of Rongguo Mansion to follow the still white Second Master Yun. Not only was I not angry, but I was also very grateful."

"I don't think my sister is going to enjoy the blessing with Second Master Yun."

"I only know that Second Master Yun is white, just like us, if he dares to treat my sister badly, whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group fight, I can always stand up for her, and I'm not afraid of her being wronged."

"Looking back now, my elder brother is still shallow-sighted, and I didn't have the right idea of ​​my younger sister. I discovered that Second Master Yun is a real dragon early on."

"You see, it's only been a few years, my sister's dignity is no worse than those aunts in Jia's house, no, the aunts in Jia's house are not as prestigious as my sister, but those decent masters are almost comparable."

Hua Zifang nodded, put the silver ingot back into the box with some reluctance, and said:
"Although our family is poor, we have never planned to make my sister a slave. Back then, when the family couldn't cook, sending her to Jia's mansion to be a maid was already treating her badly."

Hua Zifang was silent for a moment, then covered the box, and pondered: "You said that Second Master Yun suddenly gave us this hundred taels of silver, is there any other meaning?"

"Any other meaning? What kind of meaning? You just like to think about it." Sister-in-law Hua pursed her lips.

Hua Zifang shook her head, and suddenly heard the laughter of children outside the house, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized:
"Understood, this silver is not sent for us to eat and drink, but a chance for our brother to change his destiny. Whether we can grasp it or not depends on our own comprehension."

Sister-in-law Hua is not stupid, after thinking about it for a while, she stood up and said excitedly:

"That's right, my sister mentioned it before when she went back to her natal family. For an aunt like her, there are five places in her hand that can go to Jia's Yi school to learn literature and martial arts. There is only one place, which needs to pay 20 taels of silver per year for Shuxiu."

It's not a joke to read high in all things. No matter what era, there are no parents who don't want their children to be able to read and write.

Sister-in-law Hua continued: "Although we wanted to send my brother to study in Jia's Yi school, but after paying Shuxiu, the family will not be able to open the pot. Now it's good, Second Master Yun may have heard about it..."

Before she finished speaking, Hua Zifang took over and said, "Second Master Yun sent the money here, but it also meant to test us. If we have shallow eyesight and spend the money wholeheartedly, then the chance of my brother going to study is very small. Discarded."

"That's the reason! The head of the family, keep the money, and at the beginning of next year, we will send my brother to study in Jia's family." Sister-in-law Hua solemnly said.

Hua Zifang nodded and said: "That's how it should be. Our brother is seven or eight years old, if you don't send him to study, it will be really delayed."

Sister-in-law Hua laughed and said: "I heard many people say that the free school run by Jia's family is much better than that run by Jia's mansion. Really capable!"

It is not that there are no private schools among the people, but most of the masters in many private schools are just children, and only a very small number of them are really famous.

With those young masters, what good students can they teach?
This is also the reason why Jia Jiayi School is so popular.

After the two discussed it, they hid the money, went out of the room hand in hand, and came to the warehouse.

"Tsk tsk, there are too many things! There are seven or eight kinds of melons, fruits, pastries, rice noodles, miscellaneous grains, and cloth. Good guy, Second Master Yun is worthy of doing great things. It is different from Xiren before when he went home to visit his relatives."

Sister-in-law Hua looked at the gifts in the room and said in amazement.

Hua Zifang smiled and said: "My sister is really with the right person. As far as I know, none of the aunts in Jia's mansion is as beautiful as my sister!"

……

Jiangnan, Gusu, Wu County.

On the Grange.

"Wow!"

The flying eagle circled several times in the air, screamed, and suddenly landed like lightning, folded its wings, and landed firmly on the arm of a wrestler.

Thick leather is tied to the arm of Lux to prevent the eagle from scratching.

"A letter from the capital, send it to Guanshi Li!"

A young servant took the letter box and ran away, and soon found Li Yongnian, the steward of the farm, who was talking with someone at the village head.

"Steward, there is a flying letter!" The servant stepped forward and hurriedly handed over the letter box.

Li Yongnian was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hands, shook his sleeves, solemnly took the letter box, walked to the side, took out the letter and glanced at it quickly.

"It's a good thing!" Looking back, Li Yongnian said with a smile when he saw that the villagers were all looking at him nervously.

"Blessed are the girls who went to Beijing with our master before. The master wrote a letter in person. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The farm will send some rice noodles to those girls' natal families, and each family will be rewarded with money!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned red.

"Master Jia is very kind. He distributed rice noodles and money to the servant girl's family during the holidays. This has never happened before!"

"Those girls who go to the capital with the master, their natal families are blessed. Although these gifts are not worth a lot, they are worth talking about!"

"Let's go! Let's follow Guanshi Li to see the excitement!"

"..."

Li Yongnian smiled and didn't stop him. When he returned to the office courtyard, he called his subordinates and helpers to quickly buy fruits, vegetables, rice noodles, oil and salt, while he himself prepared copper coins.

"Miss He's family has become a servant girl?" Li Yongnian asked in surprise.

Tongfang maids are naturally more beautiful than ordinary maids, and they have at least twice as many gifts for the festival.

"Just take two taels of silver! This is also what the master ordered." Li Yongnian mused.

This was a special case, and it was Jia Yun's order, so Li Yongnian naturally followed suit.

Village head.

"Sister-in-law of the He family! Is the sister-in-law of the He family here?"

"Here! Hey, it's Guanshi Li! Guanshi Li is a distinguished guest, hurry up, come in and drink tea!"

"No, let's get down to business first. The girl from the Ni family has become the master's housemaid. The master sent me a letter. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, let me send some gifts to your house!"

"Listen up! Three hundred catties of refined grains, five hundred catties of miscellaneous grains, two bolts of cloth, two jars of rice wine, ten catties of miscellaneous sugar, a pair of chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits, two pieces of bacon, two pieces of cured fish..."

After reading, Li Yongnian approached He Shuangqing's mother and said in a low voice, "Plus two taels of silver, Sister-in-law He will give you some points. If you are right, I will issue a bet."

"Hey, it's all right, all right!" Mother He smiled openly, took the brush from Li Yongnian, and drew a circle.

"Guan Li won't come to the door easily, so he must stay and have lunch before leaving!"

"No, I have to go to another house to give gifts!" Li Yongnian shook his head.

This sister-in-law of the He family is a widow, and she can give birth to He Shuangqing's daughter who is waiting for thousands of miles. Needless to say, she is beautiful. Although she is in her 40s and [-]s, she still has her charm and is charming.

However, Widow He is a formidable woman, and she is not easy to offend. If she dares to get involved, her house will be disturbed. Even the old bachelors in the village will stay away from her, let alone Li Yongnian.

Mother He heard that Li Yongnian was going to give gifts to other homes, so she didn't force her, but asked curiously: "All the girls' homes give the same gifts?"

"It's not the same. Your family has twice as many things as other people's, and other people's family only has a consistent amount of money, but they don't have money to take." Li Yongnian said truthfully.

This matter will spread soon anyway, and he has nothing to hide.

Hearing this, Mother He smiled happily.

She doesn't care how many gifts she receives, as long as they are more than others', it's good, and it's good to say it.

After Li Yongnian left, Mother He laid out the gifts one by one in the yard, and took out a bench to put them on.

After a while, ten families came to watch.

"It's really more than ours. Not to mention the large number, they are all carefully selected."

"So what, the daughter is so good-looking, and she became Mrs. Jia's housemaid, will the master treat her natal family badly?"

"Hey! Why doesn't my girl live up to her expectations? She went to the capital with her, but she's still a little girl!"

"..."

Everyone whispered and came forward to say hello to He's mother.

Mother He smiled all over her face, leading everyone to count down the gifts that Manager Li had sent earlier.

"My family's Shuangqing is very smart and smart. Not only can she be a good female celebrity, but she can also compose poems..."

"My Shuangqing is pretty, with an outstanding figure, and a fresh and crisp temperament..."

"My Shuangqing has a gentle and kind personality, and her behavior is dignified and generous..."

"..."

In less than the teacup time, all the people who came to watch the excitement ran away, which is so f*cking shocking.

Mother He looked at the backs of everyone, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "My Shuangqing..."

……

Capital City, Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng's courtyard.

Jia Lian came back from the outside and walked into the house. Seeing that the room was full of various supplies, he was stunned.

"Where did you get all these things?" Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng after drinking a cup of tea.

"It's for sister-in-law and girl Tan, oh, mandarin ducks also have a share." Wang Xifeng replied while tidying up.

Jia Lian frowned and said, "Just give it to them? What about the other rooms?"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said, "What do the other rooms care about me? Don't the mansion also send it out, this is a personal gift from me."

"Why are you giving these to them properly? Don't make such a fuss, offend people for nothing?" Jia Lian said dissatisfied.

Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "I can send it to whoever I like, and no one else cares about it!"

"You! It's unreasonable! Send some to other rooms, how much more money can you spend?" Jia Lian said angrily.

Wang Xifeng smiled, stretched out a hand, and said, "Bring it!"

"What?" Jia Lian was taken aback, wondering.

Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows and said: "Silver, you are so generous, you can give the money to other rooms!"

"Where did I get the money? You put it down first, and I'll pay you back when I have it!" Jia Lian said hastily.

Wang Xifeng spat and said: "You have planned your wish wisely. It is a good idea to spend my old lady's money for favors."

"There is one more thing. During this period of time, you have spent a lot of money on building a family-friendly villa. Don't take me for a fool, thinking that I don't know anything!"

Jia Lian stood up in fright and waved her hands again and again: "Don't talk nonsense, how dare I make money in broad daylight? You're wrong!"

"Hmph, just argue! I don't bother to care about you!" Wang Xifeng didn't want to argue with him, so she turned around and asked:
"Have you got everything ready? When are you leaving for the south?"

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was no longer entangled, and replied, "Let's go after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on the sixteenth."

When he was speaking, he looked at the graceful, graceful and wealthy Wang Xifeng indiscriminately, his heart was hot and dry, and his mouth was a little dry.

This woman is his regular wife, and he hasn't touched her for more than a year. Every night, he dreams of being upside down with Wang Xifeng, and he almost wants to die.

"I can't live through this kind of invisible life. When I come back, I will find a chance to get rid of her, and then find someone who is considerate and gentle to come home." Jia Lian thought to himself.

Wang Xifeng didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking, but she also had some guesses, but there were some things she couldn't avoid, anyway, since she and Jia Yun got together, this matter was doomed.

"Since the time has been set, I will prepare enough things for the road, and be more careful when going to the south. I heard that there is a famine everywhere, and those refugees can do anything." Wang Xifeng said.

When Jia Lian heard this, she sighed secretly. Apart from her bad temper, this Wang Xifeng was outstanding in everything else. If it wasn't for the smell on her body that made him sick, he really couldn't bear to drive her away.

"Don't worry, everything is ready. This time I'm going to buy the theater troupe and all kinds of missing supplies. I will bring enough people to go together." Jia Lian said in a low mood.

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay in the room any longer, turned around and went out.

Wang Xifeng glanced at his back, pursed his lips, and said to himself: "A big man who knows the idea of ​​getting his wife's dowry all day long, what can he do?"

Looking back, she took a look at the things in the room, and her mood improved a lot:
"It's better, Brother Yun, gently arrange a business for me, and let me earn a lot of money. I can't spend it all in a few lifetimes. Although I want to be a concubine with him in the future, I can still do it myself. Business is no worse than in Rongguo Mansion."

Just thinking about something, Jia Tanchun came with Shi Shu and Cui Mo.

"Wow! So many things! Eat, use, wear, everything!"

Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "I can still get one more month's monthly bill, don't forget to ask Ping'er to get it."

After speaking, she pointed to Shi Shu and Cui Mo, and continued: "These two girls also have a share..."
