Chapter 6
"Sister Xianglan is 60 taels, sister half-juan and Shenshui are 50 taels each." Jinbao was not idle this morning, and she ran back and forth several times only in the main courtyard and the Yinghe courtyard where the second bedroom lived.

Because there are few people in Bo's house, everyone lives in a relatively concentrated place, which is convenient for cleaning, and it doesn't take much time to walk back and forth.

Campbell has his own set of methods, which will not arouse suspicion.

"Why does Xianglan cost 60 taels? Is it because she looks better than Banju and Shenshui?"

Hualian thinks that in terms of good looks, the half roll is the prettiest among the three.

"Because Pandan is three years younger than Banjuan and Shenshui."

Geng Xingshuang knew the reason for this, Xianglan is 14 years old, Banjuan and Shenshui are 17 years old.

"Ten taels of silver more at the age of three?" Hualian was surprised.

Geng Xingshuang smiled, ten taels of silver was considered very little, and if she resold it in the hands of Mrs. Yu, the profit would be more than doubled.

"Girl, the third girl went to the main courtyard, and the second wife also went, but Shen Shui couldn't go back with her."

Jin Bao is very clear, although Shen Shui is older than her, but the third girl has a normal relationship with her own daughter, and the second room always suppresses their first room, so she will not call Shen Shui sister.

"Later, I went to Yingheyuan to inquire. The third lady really wanted to go back to Shenshui, but the second wife disagreed. The second wife should have known about this for a long time."

Geng Xingshuang was not surprised by the news. Although Mrs. Uncle was greedy for money, she had sold her servants one after another, but she still had Mrs. Anping's name on her head, so she still had a little bit of face. The well-behaved maid sold her to Yu Yapo, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what she was up to at a glance.

If there is a pusher behind this, besides Mrs. Uncle's younger sister Xiao Xia, there is only the second wife, Yao Shi.

However, Xiao Xia didn't come to the door recently, and the Zhu Mansion didn't send anyone to pay respects, and the Xia family never went out, so the only person in the mansion was Yao.

"However, according to my servant, the third girl is not very angry."

"Have you seen the third sister?"

Jin Bao nodded, "Well, less than a quarter of an hour after Miss and Sixth Miss left the mansion, Third Miss went to the main courtyard with the second wife and stayed in the main courtyard for about half an hour. Okay, but when you come out, you're not so angry."

"Recently... Did Second Uncle do anything?"

Geng Xingshuang pondered, what can 110 taels of silver do?

Moreover, the price is also different from what she has heard. Is it because Banjuan, Shenshui, and Xianglan are not beautiful enough?
Geng Xingshuang didn't think so. Although they were not considered extremely beauties, their looks were really good. If they went to those places, the price was not very high. What's the difference?
A light flashed in Geng Xingshuang's mind, she stopped the chopsticks in her hand, and concentrated on trying to catch that thought that almost passed by.

Both Hualian and Jinbao knew that their girls would be fascinated when they thought deeply about things, so they didn't bother her, they just waited for her to come back to her senses.

Strange to say, this kind of situation has never happened to the girl in front of outsiders.

"Okay, I'm full."

Hualian cleaned up the table, and Jinbao continued to report the news he had inquired in the morning.

"The girl's guess is right. Xiaojuan said that the second master has been in a good mood these past few days, and went to the second wife's house for two consecutive days."

Xiaojuan is the maid of the second room, and she has a good relationship with Jinbao, and she will exchange some irrelevant news on weekdays.

The second master, Geng Cheng, is the only official in the Geng family, besides the uncle, he has the highest voice in the house.

It's just that her grandfather, An Pingbo, was injured and resigned in the Zhenchang Incident 14 years ago, and gave his favor to his second son, Geng Cheng. In life, whether it is a son or a grandson, he takes it for filial piety, but if he asks the old man to complain, judge, or make the decision, the old man will only squint his eyes and pretend to be deaf.

"The only thing that can make my good second uncle happy is to get promoted and get rich."

Judging from the fact that Xia's and Yao's need to sell their maids to collect money, it should be impossible to get rich, so the only way to do it is to get promoted.

"Jin Bao, go and see if the sixth sister has had lunch? Let's go to the main courtyard."

Jin Bao responded and was about to go out when he happened to meet Geng Xingchen Bai Zhi's master and servant who came in from outside the courtyard.

"Fifth sister, I've had lunch, what are we going to do now?"

"Third aunt...didn't say anything?"

Although Geng Xingshuang was happy that Geng Xingchen came to him again so quickly and easily, he was still a little surprised.

"My mother... oh... she's actually quite contradictory." Geng Xingchen frowned, looking troubled and helpless, "Since she feels that the second uncle is the reliance of the entire uncle's house, she will inevitably back down to the second aunt, But I also understood in my heart that with the behavior of my second uncle and my aunt now, if my grandfather...he may not care about us in the future, I went back and talked to her, and she let me come. Fifth sister, you say we will What to do, I will do what you say."

Geng Xingshuang didn't fully believe what Geng Xingchen said, nor did he completely disbelieve it.

The third aunt Jiang was not only dissatisfied with the second room, but also did not dare to offend the second room. Not only Geng Xingshuang knew about this, but the whole family knew about it.

But if it was that easy for her to let Geng Xingchen lean towards their eldest room, she wouldn't be so entangled in these years.

Geng Xingchen didn't say anything, and Geng Xingshuang didn't ask any more questions. She stood up, "Let's go to the main courtyard."

"Now?"

"Ah."

"But it's time for grandma's lunch break."

Geng Xingshuang thought to herself that she wanted to make a fuss during her lunch break, otherwise her good grandmother really thought that after these two years of peaceful life, she could do whatever she wanted again.

"Grandmother received the money today, so she must be in a good mood. This person, when he's excited, it's hard to fall asleep."

"Well, fifth sister is right."

Geng Xingchen deeply believed that she was like this, and she was also very excited today. Of course, her excitement was different from that of her grandmother. The grandmother was happy because she received the money, and she was both happy and different happy.

Happily, although her mother still prevented her from looking for her fifth sister this time, her father seemed to be more and more dissatisfied with her second uncle, and also more and more angry at her grandmother's partiality, so she quarreled with her mother. Once the father gets angry and makes up his mind, the mother will also give in.

There is also the fourth younger brother, who is at Qingxi Academy today, and the fourth younger brother is also at home. The fourth younger brother firmly stated that he will definitely be admitted to the scholar and Jinshi based on his strength in the future, and he can stand up on his own without relying on the second wife. Be the support of the sisters in the family.

Thinking of this, Geng Xingchen was in a good mood, but after all, Xia Shi was her own grandmother, and she actually sold her personal servant girl to such a place for money, if this kind of thing got out...

Although the reputation of their Anpingbo Mansion is just like that, do they still have to roll on the muddy ground by themselves?

Geng Xingchen thought about walking, and his footsteps became heavier and heavier, with a thunderous momentum of finding someone to settle accounts, but he gradually walked in front of Geng Xingshuang.

"Miss Six, are you here...to pay your respects? Mrs. Uncle is taking a lunch break!"

The pomegranate guarding the gate dozed off, and Geng Xingchen went straight into the yard, and walked all the way to the main house door, and Qiao's mother, who was serving in the house, heard the movement and came out, almost bumping into Geng Xingchen.

 ps: Mrs. Uncle: being insomnia~~~
