The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 536 I want to be an aunt

Now, Tamara has managed to draw closer to the old lady.However, she was not in a hurry.

"The first thing I asked my ancestors for was a small gift for my ancestors, wives, and grandmas. Katyusha, bring the presents quickly."

While Tamara was talking, his maid Katyusha and another maid brought a bunch of things.

"Ancestor, this is the matryoshka of our Ross. The meaning of this gift is to wish our Jia family many children and grandchildren, and a prosperous population."

After speaking, Tamara opened the package, took out the largest set of nesting dolls, and opened them for the old lady and others to see.

Katyusha and another maid distributed the other nesting dolls to Mrs. Wang and others.

These nesting dolls were brought by Tamara back to her house just now.

Jia Min doesn't know the true meaning of nesting dolls.

However, he thought of the gimmick of having many children and grandchildren, and the old lady would probably like it.So I told Tamara the idea.

This move really tickled the old lady's itch.

"Well, okay, I like this gift, Yuanyang, please accept it."

With that said, the old lady turned to the others.

"You all accept it too. This girl is not bad. I think she is related to our family."

"Then thank the ancestor. Now, I want to give the ancestor a second gift."

"Oh, and a gift?"

"Yeah, but this time, the old ancestor is a servant girl. I know that the old ancestor has no shortage of maids, but when he arrives in Beihai, the old ancestor still needs a Rose maid. It's more convenient. This maid is called Katyusha, and she will belong to the ancestors from now on."

Was Tamara talking here? Katyusha knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.

It was Tamara who had just told her to give her to the old lady, and Katyusha didn't have any reluctance at this time.

"Oh, the old ancestor is blessed. Now that he has Rose's maid again, it's all done. I'll spread the word and let those acquaintances know. I'm afraid I'll be envious to death."

Wang Xifeng came out to speak in time.

Since arriving in Beihai, Wang Xifeng has been inquiring about the situation here with Jia Zhi and the girls these days, especially the situation of Jia Min.

As for Tamara's situation, he naturally knew about it.

She was a very smart person, so she guessed right away that Jia Min would definitely accept Tamara in the future.

Seeing Tamara like this today, I understood what Tamara meant.

At this time, seeing the old lady hesitate for a while, she knew that the old lady couldn't agree directly, so she came up to assist in time.

The old lady has always been a person who likes novelty and ostentation. Usually, when she has nothing to eat, there are eight maids standing behind her to serve her.At this time, I saw a maid of a foreign race, but I was already tempted.

It's just to show that I don't look too ugly, so I hesitated for a while.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng had said so at this moment, and having a servant girl of a different race would really make others envious, so he was completely tempted.

"Tamara's filial piety is sincere. Tell me, should I accept her filial piety?"

"The old ancestor just accept it."

"Yes, take it."

Which of the people would say that it should not be accepted?Naturally they all agreed.

"Okay, then I'll take it."

"Then thank you ancestor. Now, I'm going to send the third gift to the mansion."

Tamara struck while the iron was hot.

"Hey, look, this girl is addicted to gift-giving, why do you still have gifts? After receiving so many gifts from you, I am worried about how to return them?"

"The ancestors don't want to return the gift. This gift is a piece of land."

"Oh, this gift is getting bigger and bigger, and it's all given to the land now. Well, I want to hear, how big is your land? Ten acres, twenty acres?"

"Old ancestor, it's more than [-] mu. The land is bigger, so it can't be counted in mu."

"This is really new. You don't need to use the number of mu to calculate it. What else do you use? Do you still use the number of miles to calculate it?"

"The old ancestor is really smart, it is calculated by miles."

"Is it really calculated in miles? Tell me, how many miles is it long? How many miles is it wide?"

"It is 80 miles long and 80 miles wide. This is what my mother left for me."

"80 miles long and 80 miles wide, how many acres is this? Does anyone know?"

For a time, no one really could figure it out.

"80 miles long and 80 miles wide, I'm afraid it's much bigger than the imperial capital."

Li Wan gave a compromise ambiguity answer.

"Tamara, this gift is too expensive for us to accept. This is yours, and our Jia family is not a house of greed."

The old lady still kept the bottom line.This time I said no, I really didn't want to accept it.

Although it is not known whether it is true or not, even if it is true, she feels that there is no reason to accept such a large piece of land.

"It's too late for the ancestors to accept it. This piece of land already belongs to the Jia family."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Because this land is my dowry."

"Your dowry? How did it become my family?"

"Because I'm already the fourth master's man."

After Tamara finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into silence.

This answer came a bit too suddenly, and they couldn't calm down for a while.

According to the customs of the Han region and the etiquette system of Dade, Tamara belongs to Jia Min's concubine.

There is a big difference between taking a concubine and marrying a wife.

Marrying a wife is a matter between the two families, and it is mainly decided by the parents and elders.

Concubinage is a man's personal behavior, and the elders do not necessarily have to decide.

With Jia Min's current powerful position, he doesn't need permission from his family if he wants to take a concubine.

In fact, the previous Ping'er, Shen Bingyi and Qingwen were all decided by himself.The family knew about it, and there was basically no intervention.

If Jia Min handles this matter, the previous model will be adopted.

However, Tamara is eager for success, and she only has a half-knowledge about the ways of wives and concubines, and she doesn't understand the essential difference at all, so today's play came.

In fact, it was because she was being clever and self-defeating, complicating the problem herself.

There was a reason for everyone's silence.

Although they already know that the folk customs here in Beihai are more civilized.However, it is still difficult for them to accept that Tamara comes to the door to promote herself and make a match for herself.

"Tamara, you come here, does Brother Ming know?"

The old lady pondered for a while and broke the silence.

"Although we came back together, he went to the arsenal. He didn't know I was here. I didn't tell him beforehand."

"Oh, it's no wonder. However, Brother Ming's actions were a bit reckless. In fact, you don't need to tell us about this matter. As for the land matter, should it belong to you or not?" Yours, don’t give it to our mansion.”

"Old Ancestor, don't you look down on me?"

Tamara obviously misunderstood the meaning of the old lady, so she was eager to confess herself.

"I know that you Han people all pay attention to the right family. In fact, my family background is not bad. I am a duchess, and I have the same title as your duke."

"Why is there a duchess?"

"Yes, my mother is the duchess, and the title I inherited belongs to my mother. Everyone here knows it, Tanchun, Xiangyun, don't you think so?"

"Old ancestor, what Tamara said is true, she is indeed the Duke of Rose, the same as our Duke."

Tanchun came out to testify.

"Hehe, look, this is strange. Our family's title is gone, but here, we picked a duchess for nothing. It's quite interesting."

When the old lady said this, others were fine, but Aunt Xue was a little anxious.

This foreign woman has such a large piece of land as a dowry, and she is also a state prince. If it is considered, it is more than enough to be Brother Ming's wife.Compared with Baochai in his own family, he is even more prominent and superior.

Now brother Ming has the appearance of a king in Beihai, Baochai is engaged to him, and he should be the queen in the future.If there is this foreign woman, Baochai can be compared.

Now the whole family in Jia's family all depend on Brother Ming.If Brother Min regrets his marriage, even the old lady and sister cannot stop him.

"Tamara, what do you want to say when you come here today?"

Aunt Xue decided to maintain Baochai's status, but also wanted to remind the old lady in time that Jia Min and Baochai already had a marriage contract.

"I want to ask the old lady to make the decision and let me be Jia Min's aunt."

Tamara was outspoken.

"Really just want to be an aunt?"

Aunt Xue couldn't believe that Tamara's request was so simple.

"Yes, she is the same aunt as Ping'er and Qingwen."

This time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter is simple.

"Okay, Tamara, you can discuss this matter with Brother Min yourself. You don't need to tell us, and we don't have to worry about it."

Tamara still didn't understand what the old lady meant, and mistakenly thought that the old lady disagreed, so she took out her trump card.

"Old Ancestor, Jia Min and I are already husband and wife, and this white silk is the proof."

As he spoke, he took out the white silk from his bosom that was left behind after making out with Jia Min in Nijiabao.

"Tanchun, Xiangyun, you go out first."

Li Wan's reaction was quite quick, and he dragged Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun out of the house.

The rest of the women were all experienced, so they naturally understood what happened to Bai Ling.Tamara's move completely stunned them.

This Tamara, is the city too deep, or is she an idiot?

After half a cup of tea, the old lady finally understood the taste.

"Okay, Tamara, I agree with you to be brother Ming's aunt, and they all agree. Tell me, who among you disagrees?"

"No, we both agree."

"Yes, we all agree."

Who would be a fool to disagree.

"Okay, Tamara, you go back first, tell Brother Ming, and say that we all agree."

"Then thank you, grandpa."

Tamara kowtowed to the old lady again and went happily.

As soon as Tamara went out, the old lady couldn't help laughing.

"This Tamara is really interesting. Brother Ming has some eyes, and it's a good thing to accept her."

"I really didn't expect that Brother Ming even accepted the Duke. It's just that there is no princess. If there is a princess, I am afraid that even the princess will be accepted."

Mrs. Xing also praised it in time.

"This brother Ming is really confused. He can clearly decide this kind of thing himself, so why call Tamara to tell us."

"Didn't Tamara say it herself, Brother Ming didn't know she was here, and I'm afraid she didn't quite understand the way of it."

Mrs. Wang has seen the trick.

"This brother Ming is really too. If you say he is confused, he will be able to do some earth-shattering events. If you say he is not confused, he will not understand these trivial things."

The old lady felt it again.

"Old Ancestor, Brother Ming is both like you and not like you."

Wang Xifeng is recruiting again.

"You shabby, you look like you look like you don't look like you don't look like you. How can you look like you and not look like you? Am I completely different?"

"If you want to say it is like, it is because the ancestors are not confused about big things, and brother Ming is not confused about big things. If you want to say that it is not like, it is because brother Ming is confused about small things, and the old ancestor is not confused about small things."

Wang Xifeng said solemnly.

"Hey, look, she's the only one who can speak."
