my wife is wonderful

Chapter 20 Negotiation
Ruan's previous letter did not mention that Banjuan and Xianglan were redeemed by her brother Ruan Jin before Shenshui came back. From this point of view, Uncle and Mrs. Uncle did not mention it, so Geng Wen thought Banjuan and Pandan are still at Yapo Yu's place.

"Father, the half-volume has already been redeemed by my uncle, and now she and Xianglan are at his uncle's house. After my uncle completes their deeds, the half-volume will go to Mingshang Pavilion to help, and Xianglan will look after the sixth younger sister." mean."

Geng Xingshuang told his father how he went to look for his uncle yesterday, and how he went to the home of Yu Yapo in Liu'er Hutong to redeem someone.

Geng Wen nodded, "That's fine."

"They didn't sue you? They said that my eldest brother only redeemed half the roll and Xianglan, but let their granddaughter and second uncle's daughter suffer at the house of the old woman? And because the half roll was sold, the money sold was the right money. The courtyard is keeping it, yesterday I asked Sister Shuang to go to the main courtyard to say that we will not pay the money for chewing from next month, for a period of one year."

Ruan took the matter of exempting from paying the one-year chewing money to herself, not because she was afraid that Geng Wen would blame her daughter, but that this kind of thing should have been done by her, the mistress of Qingcui courtyard, since her daughter helped her If she did, the bad reputation and follow-up problems caused by this incident must be borne by her as a mother.

Even in front of her husband, she still bears the burden.

Ruan's expression was still not good. Geng Wen knew that he really offended his wife this time, and he didn't care about her eccentricity, so he said with a smile: "What's the use of them suing me, don't say they didn't make any sense at all, even if they were justified , I am also facing you and my daughter."

"Not only our house, but also the third house. Sister Chen and Sister Shuang went to the main courtyard to talk about it."

Nguyen said again.

Geng Xingshuang understood his mother's desire to defend himself, so naturally he would not refute his mother.

But this matter is not too important now, she has other doubts.

"Father, according to what grandfather said, Mother Tan not only has no faults, but has merits?"

As soon as this story was compiled, Tan Feixu hid his flesh and blood from the uncle's mansion privately, and even enslaved him to become a servant of his own family. A loyal servant who takes good care of but takes no credit.

"Although you have meritorious service, when you learned that Shen Shui was taken away by Yu Yamao yesterday, you didn't report to the main courtyard in time. Mrs. Zao didn't get a drop of water, and later she dragged Sister Bing in privately, which was even more wrong, so Tan Feixu was sent to the second sister-in-law's dowry Zhuangzi."

This punishment was unexpected by Geng Xingshuang. She thought that no matter what, no matter if it was the second uncle or the second aunt, Tan Feixu would not be tolerated anymore. Now that the second room seems to be very short of money, she should be sold. It is very likely that it will be handed over to Mistress Yu directly.

It's just that the Yao family is also the second aunt's natal family after all, maybe Tan's mother's final result will not change, it's just that there is an extra handover procedure.

"Whose decision is it to send Mama Tan back to Yao's house, does dad know?"

Geng Wen shook his head, "Your grandfather didn't mention her originally, I was the one who asked, and I was thinking of my second brother and Mrs. Uncle's behavior. If the information in the letter is true, they will definitely not let Mrs. Tan go.

After all, Mrs. Tan is the dowry of the second sister-in-law. If something happens that kills the dowry of the daughter-in-law, and the imperial envoy reads a book, our family would not have a sacred heart. It will be taken off while alive, so I can't help but ask, my father said the decision on Tan Shi, who came up with this idea, I didn't ask in detail. "

Having said what the second room had said, Geng Xingshuang also said that the money sold by the three maids yesterday was far less than the money that the eldest room and the third room chewed for a year to do this to Mrs. Uncle and the second room. Suspect.

"Of course, the ultimate goal of grandma and second uncle is to seek the position of the fifth-rank military doctor. The only problem is how to seek it? What does it have to do with selling half a volume?"

"How about I go test the second brother?"

Geng Wenwen and Geng Cheng, one is the eldest son of the first wife, and the other is the second son of the stepwife. Geng Cheng has obtained the only kindness. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two brothers is relative, if not tense. speechless.

But it may be that Mrs. Uncle came forward to fight for many of the interests of the second room. Therefore, although the two half-brothers, Geng Wen and Geng Cheng, are not very close, they still managed to maintain a superficial relationship, and they gathered at the New Year's Eve Sometimes, you can drink two glasses together.

On the contrary, Geng Cheng and Geng Yan, two brothers with the same father and the same mother, have no brotherhood. When the two meet, Geng Yan is sarcasm, and Geng Cheng is pretending to be magnanimous, showing self-restraint. He couldn't get used to it, so his words became more and more ugly, while Geng Cheng just smiled and said nothing, making Geng Yan seem like an unreasonable child. In such a vicious circle, the relationship deteriorated year after year.

"You go to test him? Just don't let him test you out?"

Geng Wen choked up and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"Father, don't bother you to find Second Uncle. Isn't Zhuangzi busy with spring plowing? Just leave Cao Tian for me to use?"

Cao Tian was originally the grandson of Cao Shun, a tenant farmer on Mishanzhuangzi. Two years ago, when there was no family separation in Anping Bofu, and the eldest and third house did not get any property from the public, Mrs. Bo began to let the three sons live every month. Pay 20 taels of chewing silver. If there are excess servants left in the yard, you need to make up additional silver. The supplementary silver is only for the chewing of the extra servants, not including monthly money. I feel that the money they have saved over the years is not safe.

Therefore, he took out almost all the money he could, and bought the [-]-acre farm in Mishan in the name of the Ruan family. Later, Ruan Jin, the eldest son of the concubine, divided some of the family property and gave it to his younger sister Ruan Shi as a dowry.

Although Mrs. Uncle also had the idea of ​​making dowries for the two daughters-in-law before, but after the riot between Ruan and his third aunt Jiang, Geng Cheng also needed to maintain a good reputation as an official. The idea of ​​a daughter-in-law's dowry, at least not on the surface.

And Cao Tian was found by Geng Wen on Zhuangzi. There are more than ten members of his family living together. The head of the family is his grandfather Cao Shun. Cao Tian’s father died of illness a few years ago. He himself is just fifteen years old. , the mother is not in good health, and there is a younger sister who is three years younger than him. The life of the mother and son in Cao's house is not very good. I heard that Zhuangzi's boss wanted to recruit a servant, so I took the initiative to find him and recommend myself.

He is really a smart and measured person, very suitable for what Geng Xingshuang will do next.

Of course, Jin Bao, who has a pair of sensitive ears and has kung fu, is also suitable, but she is a girl, and some places are not suitable. Besides, she has been staying in the uncle's house, and everyone in the house is familiar with her. Let her go out, and it is easy to be blamed Cheng recognized it.

Naturally, Geng Wen would not refuse his daughter, he immediately said: "Okay, I will let Zheng Gu go to Zhuangzi to call Cao Tian over, and ride a horse, we will be there soon."

"Don't enter the mansion, just... just settle in the Mingshang Pavilion." Geng Xingshuang said.

　ps: Geng Xingshuang: What exactly is Second Uncle going to do? With my smart head, I still dream of another world from time to time. I live during the day and live at night. It is about two lifetimes of life experience, so I can’t even guess it , I have to look it up...otherwise I will suffer from insomnia...
