Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 16 Child bride?
Xue Hong also laughed: "How can you let your brother run away for nothing? The rest of the money will be given to him as a gift by the master, and he will be taught to learn crafts after he gets married. The master will point him to make furniture in the future. Only Tell him to be more diligent, and settle the matter of the house in the next few days, it will be useful to the Lord."

Langyue's family background is mediocre, only he and his elder brother are the only two boys in the family who live by their mother.His elder brother Dachun also worked as a servant for a wealthy family in the early years, and later the owner moved his family south, Te Kaien let go of his life contract, Dachun is now an apprentice in a furniture shop in the city, and he has some skills.

It's just that his old mother is very concerned about face, and the bride price for hiring a daughter-in-law is too generous nowadays, which almost wiped out all the savings in the family, so she can tell the eldest son a good wife with good looks and good conduct.

It seems that after the marriage, Langyue's family will be struggling for a while.

Knowing that Xue Hong gave his brother such a fat job because he wanted to help her family, Lang Yue thanked her brother again before taking the gold ingots to her house.

Xue Hong's ability to find Dachun for this matter also has his own considerations.

He didn't want too many people to know about Die'er, especially his mother Xue Wang.She and her elder sister are so close. Before the matter is clear, Mrs. Wang must never know.

This Zhou Rui's family, no matter it was instigated by Mrs. Wang or not, since he acted like this and Xue Hong caught his pigtail, one day he will definitely not make her feel better.

Xue Hong thought to herself, since the system has already released the task about Die Er, maybe there will be some rewards for finding out the criminal mastermind behind this matter, and cleaning up Zhou Rui's family, right?

Taking a step back, even if there is no reward at all, Xue Hong still decided to let Zhou Rui's family suffer, and not let the villain just get away with it.

It's a pity that the time is not ripe yet, Xue Hong won't touch her yet.

According to Xue Hong's thinking, although Zhou Rui's family has a black heart, they should not be convicted for such trivial things as guarding and stealing.I'm afraid there are far more cases on her body than this, and the plot is even worse. Even if she is to die, she can't be too cheap, otherwise it will be too unfair to those innocent people who died tragically.

how?
This is really to blame her for following the wrong master.

According to the original book, before Lian's second grandmother Wang Xifeng came in, the middle income of the Rongguo Mansion was in the hands of Mrs. Wang. With such a large family business, there were many ways to make money from money, so her means of collecting money Also cheaper.

It's just that at that time, she, the housekeeper's wife, was too greedy.This point can be seen just by looking at the speed of the decline of the Jia Mansion.

Since Duke Rong Jiayuan, the title of the Jia family has only been inherited for three generations. Back then, Duke Rong followed the old emperor in exchange for countless wealth. It is not an exaggeration for the family to say that there are mountains of gold and silver.

No matter how extravagant it is, it is only used by the government, and the Zhongfu will not be so empty that Wang Xifeng, who later runs the family, pawns her own dowry to maintain it. I can't even eat a decent bowl of round-grained rice, I can only eat coarse grains eaten by slaves.

Although the honorably ennobled Jia family is a family of martial arts, it is not as deep-rooted as the generations-old family. However, with the financial resources of the original Jia family, how could it decline to such a state after only three generations?Where did all the money go?
This question was not answered until after the Jia family's complete decline and the family property was inspected, Mrs. Wang's private treasury was opened, and Mrs. Wang's trusted servants such as Zhou Rui's family were taken away.

As for Mrs. Wang, a woman in a deep house, how can she get money quickly?However, it is still taking advantage of lawsuits, usury, forced buying and other things!
These things are easy to say, but which one is not harmful to the sky and reason, and hinders the evil of prey?

Why does Mrs. Wang pretend to be a Buddha every day?She didn't do it to cultivate her fertility, nor to pray for her children. As the saying goes, the bone spirit kowtows to Tang Seng—false, she clearly has a ghost in her heart, and she is just asking for comfort.After all, I often walk on the "night road", so I naturally ask the gods and Buddhas to bless me, and don't let those ghosts come to my door.

However, she only knows how to blindly make things difficult for the Buddha, but she doesn't know that the Buddha is the most discerning, how can she do what she wishes?
Of course, what we are talking about here is the situation in the original work.

Right now, Mrs. Wang is a really famous and powerless master, so naturally I can't collect money in a big way, and I have to find another way.

There is another layer, that is, Xue Hong is now deeply jealous of Mrs. Wang.

He couldn't explain why, but subconsciously he felt that Mrs. Wang was not a good person.

If nothing else, judging from the moral gap between Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, the so-called teaching by words and deeds, if Mrs. Wang is good, even if Mrs. Wang is illiterate and cannot give her children a good education with the spirit of books like Zhang Lingxuan, she will not teach them well. The child of the school is full of copper stink and has no airs at all.

Mrs. Wang was so distasteful to Xue Hong, and saving Die'er was related to the task issued by his system. Xue Hong became more careful and found Dachun, who was out of reach, to run errands, for fear that something would go wrong in the process.

This spring really lived up to the entrustment, and within two days, he brought Xue Hong the deed of a house in the suburbs of Beijing.

"According to my master's instructions, this house is a little far away from the city, but it is very clean. Most of the neighbors are poor scholars. Although they are not rich, they are very polite. There are few conflicts between neighbors. Compared with the city, It can be regarded as a place with relatively simple folk customs.

Moreover, because it is far away from the city, the housing price is not very expensive, and I bought a neat courtyard for only 80 taels of silver. The original owner's family was also an ordinary scholar's family.There is still a vegetable garden left by their family. There are even fruit trees in the yard, and there is a pond to raise fish. It seems that the owner's house is very elegant and hardworking.

It was just because the owner of the house was a bit older, seeing that he had no hope of studying, so he planned to sell the property to donate to his future, so he was in a hurry to sell the house, so that the young one got this coincidence.Grandpa, would you like to move over to have a look?It's really good. "

Dachun got Xue Hong's kindness, so he naturally did this job very meticulously, so that Xue Hong could think of himself when he had something good to do in the future.

After all, Xue Hong is the young master of a rich family. The small gold ingot he gave was 100 taels of silver. It cost 80 taels to buy the house, and he still has 20 taels of silver in his hand. Just these 20 taels are enough for their family to live a prosperous life. I'm old, and I really have a single hair thicker than my waist.

Dachun was already very grateful for this clever sect, and besides, his younger brother was working by his side. I heard that Second Master Xue had always been a very good master, so how could he not be flattered?

"You did a good job with the errand given by the master, so you don't need to bother, just ask Zhuxi to follow you to take a look." Xue Hong smiled and nodded, then turned to tell Zhuxi, "Go and see the house, it's enough There are not enough for the two to live in, if there are people to live in, we will hire a car to take them there, and make proper arrangements."

As soon as Zhuxi heard this, he knew that Xue Hong had deliberately arranged for Die'er and his daughter. He also knew that his master didn't like to keep things public about Die'er, so he had already made plans in his heart, so he followed Dachun to see the house.

Sure enough, as Dachun said, the house was cleaned up very clean, and even the furniture was ready-made, only the soft and valuable ornaments close to the previous owner’s house were cleared out, and other living utensils were removed. exist.

Zhuxi didn't dare to delay, so he hired someone to set up a car, and under the pretense that "someone saw Die'er and wanted her to be a concubine", he went to the poor courtyard to bring Die'er, mother and daughter here.

This statement makes sense, because such things often happen in this place where the poor live.

There are those who do small businesses in the capital, or some low-level officials, but those who have some spare money at home will want to take a concubine.The women living in the slums are considered to have the cheapest "price", and they can marry back home with any benefits, which is very satisfying for men in need.

Zhuxi did not say which family fell in love with Die'er, and the Jia family believed that Die'er would die if he went back because he had no money to treat his injuries. Appearing in front of Die'er's mother and daughter, I don't think I will go back to check this time.

Even if someone came from the Jia family, they didn't know where Die'er had gone at that time. There were so many people in Beijing who could afford to marry Die'er back home, but where could they find such a humble concubine?

Zhuxi's statement is deceptive, but Die'er feels uneasy here.

She had no idea who asked her to go.

With injuries all over her body, there is only such an old woman in the family. She is old and in poor health, and she doesn't even have anyone to make decisions for herself.It's fine if you meet a kind person, but how good is it if you meet a master who eats people but doesn't spit out their bones?
But what can she do?It's just that the heart that has been hanging in vain for half a day is full of sorrow.When she came to her new residence and saw that the four corners of the courtyard were complete and everything was in order, Die Er had another thought in her heart.

Hey, anyway, if she were like this now, if she hadn't taken concubines, her family wouldn't have the money to ask for medical advice. I'm afraid her little life has been sealed long ago, and I'm afraid I have to be grateful to this person.

Forget it, no matter who she met this time, Die Er really accepted her fate at this moment.

Since he is willing to spend money to treat his injuries, and is willing to give himself such a good house to live in, it is all he needs to serve him with gratitude in the future. How can she say no to this?

Just when Die'er was accepting her fate, she saw Zhuxi in the courtyard.

"You...you are...Second Master Xue's...?"

No matter how good Dier's receptivity is, her brain has already crashed at this moment.

Originally, she was only 12 years old. Although it was outrageous to be regarded as a concubine, she knew that other rich families had done the same thing.They usually buy or hire the attractive little girl to live in, and wait until they are old enough to consummate the house with the master. This is called a child bride.
