Chapter 106
By the end of the year, Jia Youchuan had grown taller again, Wulian and Liulian's somewhat sparse and yellowed hair began to grow thick and dark, Silian's appearance also grew, and her stature was as slim and graceful as a wicker. At the age of [-], the girl's family already has the beauty of a little daughter!

In the past half a year, because Xiang's family heard that Jia Jincheng had been promoted to an official and made a fortune, and rented a house in the inner city, Xiang's elders secretly came to find Xiang's several times behind Jia Jincheng's back. Back, even though Xiang Shi complained that her family only recognized money but not people, when the three brothers came to ask her for copper coins, she was used to it for many years, and she couldn't bear the shame to refuse, so she carried sisters Jia Silian behind her back. Quietly gave.

But now that Jia Jincheng's money is not under her control, although the noodle stall's business is gradually picking up, it will still take three to five months before the copper coins in Xiang's hand can't make ends meet, she has no choice but to Using my old capital, in the twelfth lunar month, the box for hiding money in Xiang's family will be bottomed out.

At the end of the year, the streets were much more lively, and the business naturally picked up, but there were also more places to spend money. The family members had to buy new clothes, and they also had to buy new year's goods, and there was Jia Jincheng in the yamen. In the past few months, in order to get close to her colleagues, she traveled a lot, spent a lot of money on drinking and socializing, and just moved house. At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Silian asked Jia Jincheng urgently,

"Father, the money we have earned in the past few months is just enough to spend. The monthly salary we just received at the beginning of this month will be used for Chinese New Year, so we can't spend it recklessly!"

Jia Jincheng was shocked when he heard this,
"Is this... out of money?"

Jia Silian nodded, and showed him a booklet,
"This is my account..."

Earlier, Jia Silian pretended to be illiterate, and asked Jia Jincheng to teach her for a while, and learned a few simple words, which were enough for keeping accounts at home. Jia Jincheng looked at her daughter's immature handwriting on the account book, and calculated carefully. Realizing that I have spent a lot of money these days, I can't help but feel ashamed,
"I've been so complacent these days, I ate and drank more often, I didn't expect to spend all the money at home..."

After thinking about it,

"It's okay...the house outside the city was rented out, and I still haven't got the rent back..."

The Jia family's house outside the city, Jia Jincheng entrusted his former colleagues in the yamen to release the news to see who wanted to rent the yard, but after word of mouth, he still rented it to an acquaintance in Wucheng Bingmasili A colleague of mine, that dear man has been working in the yamen for a long time, and his wife and children have been in the country. He knew that Jia Jincheng had a house to rent, so he came to ask in person.

"To tell the truth, Brother Shao, I have been renting that house before, but I just bought it recently. We used to rent it for two taels of silver a year. How many years have we rented it? Now it is rented to Brother Shao. We are friendly If it's different, it will cost one penny a year!"

The Shao Xuan who rented the house showed joy when he heard the words, and thanked him again and again, but after hesitating for a long time, he hesitated and said,

"To tell you the truth, Brother Jia, I have been living in the countryside with my two daughters, and my wife is pregnant again, so my younger brother wants to take them into the city to live. I sincerely want to rent this house, but it's the money I have. ...But it's a bit unreasonable..."

Jia Jincheng was a little displeased when he heard the words, secretly said,

"It's all because of the acquaintance. I took the initiative to lower you a penny. Why do you want to push forward and get credit?"

Seeing that his face had darkened, Shao Xuan hurriedly said,
"Brother Jia, don't get me wrong, I'm not someone who doesn't know what to do. I just want to say that we're going to the countryside to collect taxes now that we're seeing the autumn harvest. This will be January. I want to let their mother and daughter stay there first." Settling it in the yard, how about giving Jia Xiong the whole year's rent when the younger brother comes back from the countryside?"

"This is..."

Jia Jincheng pondered for a while, he knew that these government servants went to the countryside to collect taxes, most of them were lucrative, and they were acquainted colleagues, so he was not afraid that he would run away, so he nodded immediately.
"All right!"

Shao Xuan was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly, so the Jia family's courtyard in the outer city was first occupied, but the Shao family received Jia Jincheng's orders, and only said to the outside world that they rented the courtyard from Lai Dongsheng, so the neighbors lived there. Little did they know, the house had changed hands.

This matter was said before the autumn harvest, and it is now the twelfth lunar month, so Shao Xuan came back a long time ago, and originally wanted to ask someone to bring the money, but Jia Jincheng was cautious and didn't want people to come to the inner city. Xiang Shi found out about this, even if there was a big commotion, so he planned to make a trip by himself, but because of his busy work recently, this matter was delayed.

Jia Silian then urged him to say,
"Father, take back the money. We just bought some new year's goods. With all the money, our family will have a good year this year!"

Jia Jincheng nodded and said yes, now that he has a good job and a property in the capital, life is getting better day by day, so seeing that his fourth daughter is becoming more and more cute and cute,

"This is due to the contribution of our Silian. Dad will remember it. When you get married in the future, Dad will definitely not treat you badly!"

In the future, if you enter the Mou Mansion, although it is said that you are a concubine, you must prepare more dowry, and the Mou family should not let it be taken lightly!
Jia Jincheng had a smile on his face, but Jia Silian sighed secretly, knowing that he still wanted to send her to the Mou Mansion as a concubine!
Jia Jincheng asked the yamen for leave that afternoon, and went out to the outer city to collect back the one-two-nine-dollar silver, and when he came back and handed it to Jia Silian, his expression was a little bad.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Seeing something was wrong, Jia Silian asked, and Jia Jincheng snorted,

"Your cousin is going to marry a wife again, you should take care of this money, don't let your mother take it!"

The cousin that Jia Jincheng was talking about was of course Xiang Fu, the former Xiang Gui killed his sister-in-law by mistake, and the lawsuit was reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The father and daughter of Jia's family didn't know whether it was Xiang Gui's good luck, or someone secretly worked hard, but Xiang Gui was The Qiuhou Wenju who murdered and paid for his life was not sentenced, but was sentenced to exile on the frontier fortress and served thirty years of hard labor. He learned the news from his family and cried to the old lady to death. No matter what happens, there is always one life left. As for After going to the frontier fortress to do hard labor, whether a person can live or not depends on his own luck.

Xiang Gui was escorted to the frontier, but Xiang's family still had to live, and Xiang Fu also had to marry a wife and have children, and the old lady was anxious to have a grandson. Looking for a relative.

It's just that Xiang's family's reputation is already rotten nearby, but whoever knows their family affairs, who would dare to send their daughter to their house?
Not to mention the matter of Xiang Gui's rape and murder of his sister-in-law, even the fight between the two in-laws in front of him, which made people dare not get married after hearing this, so the old lady asked someone to go to the countryside in the capital to look for it. As for the method, no one in the capital is willing to look for a rough girl from the countryside, but this girl from the countryside has sharpened her head and wants to marry in the city, so Xiang Gui still picked a wife.

The old lady was looking for the granddaughter of a distant aunt in her own family. There were several girls in that aunt's family, but she picked the one with the most outstanding appearance and the most capable, and Xiang's family was in a hurry to get married. , and set the date at the end of the year.

Jia Jincheng turned back to the outer city. Although Jia's yard is in the north of the city and Xiang's is in the south, people still move around. He heard the words from the sister-in-law of the third uncle's brother-in-law of the Zhou family's aunt in Yanghua Hutong, saying, The Xiang family is going to have a wedding again!

Jia Jincheng knew that it was indispensable to search for Xiang Shi because of the pissing nature of the Xiang family. Jia Jincheng also had a big number in his heart about how much money Xiang Shi had now. He was afraid that Xiang Shi would embarrass his daughter, so he specially told him Jia Silian said a word.

Jia Silian nodded in agreement, and found a safe place to hide the silver, which Wulian and Liulian didn't know about.

After Jia Jincheng went to the yamen that day, the old lady Xiang came to report the news. Xiang Da and Xiang Er didn't dare to enter the door when they came. The old lady relied on herself as an elder. Forgive Jia Jincheng if he is dissatisfied with the Xiang family. He didn't dare to do anything to himself, so he swaggered to the door and brought Xiang Zhi over.

It was the first time for the old lady to come back to the courtyard of Jia's inner city. She looked around the room and ran to each room. When she saw the big carved bed and the three cabinets in the corner of the Jia sisters' room, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction. road,

"You mother is really used to the pictures of a few girls, and you are going to send them out now, why buy them such good things?"

The carved big bed, although the wood is not the best, but just by looking at the carver, you can tell that the price is not cheap, and the old lady has not slept on it yet!

Xiang explained,
"We didn't buy it, it was already in the yard..."

Tell the old lady about the three cabinets,
"Three big cabinets, how many clothes are they supposed to hold? If you have money to buy for them, why don't you add some money to Xiang Fu..."

After saying that, the eye circles turned red and said,

"I have pity on our family, Xiang Gui. I don't know when we will see each other after we leave. Xiang Fu is also pitiful. A disaster happened for no reason. Now it's hard to get married in the city. I have to feel wronged and find a girl from the country. I'll go." Look... that girl was born with a big and rough face, if it wasn't for the fact that her natal family gave her two taels of silver as a dowry, I wouldn't have wronged my talented grandson..."

The sisters of the Jia family stood aside and watched with cold eyes. Seeing that the old lady was singing, reciting, sitting, and doing meditation, she was performing in front of Xiang Shi. Si Lian asked Xiang Zhi in a low voice,

"How about the new cousin?"

Xiang Zhi sighed, turned around and looked enviously at the small copper mirror with diamond flowers on the cabinet of the Jia sisters,
"That day I went to the countryside with my grandmother to see her. The new cousin is pretty good, she is tall and strong, but she is good at handwork and she is a capable person!"

After hearing this, the sisters of the Jia family showed sympathy with Xiang Zhi. In the Xiang family, they can't be capable people, especially women. If they are too capable, they will be treated like cattle and horses in the Xiang family, and they will die of exhaustion!
Jia Silian frowned,
"Will Xiang Fu like it?"

The cousin died in front, she was not tall and strong, although her appearance was ordinary, her figure was bumpy, Xiang Zhi shook her head,

"Of course the big cousin doesn't like it, but it's my grandmother's decision. What can he do?"
