Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 284
"Mommy, this...Even if Master Xue supported my mother back then, how many years have passed, and you still have these things in your hands. What kind of life have you lived alone for so many years? Follow my mother, your old man has also suffered..."

Mother Xue waved her hand: "My life is cheap, and I don't spend so much on weekdays, so I don't need much money. It's only ten taels of silver a year, which is still a lot. Besides, Xue Yi is not stingy." , every time he gave your mother a lot of money, so your mother deliberately avoided seeing him, and she had money in her hand. When I finished the funeral for your mother, I only had a lot of money left in my hand Bailiang, you say that I am an old woman who spends money so lavishly, how can I not attract people's attention? If someone with a heart comes to snatch it, how can I keep these good things? Although it was given by Xue's family, but It's the thought your mother left me, I can't bear it."

"Mommy..."

Nanny Xue's words ended here. Qin Keqing was lying not to be moved. She was choked with sobs and could not speak. She just held Nanny Xue's hand and cried.

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Good boy, please stop crying. Now, your mother is gone, and the prince... you, just live your own life well, don't think too much about anything else."

"No... Nanny... I want to pick you up. You have suffered all your life, so let me take care of you."

"No, no, no, I won't go with you. My child, how can an old woman like me get into the palace? Don't worry about me. I've been here for so many years, it's nothing."

"However, I am worried that you are alone in the wilderness, and there is no one to take care of you. My mother is gone, and I am your relative."

Nanny Xue patted Ke Qing's hand: "Good boy, your words made Nanny very happy. But you asked me to go with you... This is absolutely inappropriate. In the village at the foot of the mountain Here, I have a godson. When his parents were alive, he took good care of me. His family also had a lot of land. He took pity on me as a lonely old woman and asked his son to send me things from time to time. But... after his parents passed away, this The child is honest and has been usurped by the bullies in the village. A lot of land has been seized, and now his life is not good. You are now from the Ningguo Mansion. If you can punish those bullies for my godson, his life will be restored. Yuan Qi, I will live with him, and I will have someone to support me in my old age, don’t you think so?"

Ke Qing nodded quickly after hearing this: "Fanghua, I will leave this matter to you. You have to see clearly what kind of person the nanny's godson is. If you can help him, you can help him with the I want to come back. If he is willing to provide for Mammy, I will thank him very much."

Fanghua nodded and agreed, it was just a piece of cake for her.Ke Qing chatted with Nanny Xue for a long time, but she just asked about her mother's past affairs. This question brought her to the time of lighting the lamp.When Ke Qing left, he took a hairpin with the Xue family's mark from the wooden box and left everything else with Nanny Xue. He also made an agreement with Nanny Xue to visit her as soon as he had time, so he reluctantly left her. The land went back.

On this day, Ke Qing was fascinated by looking at the "Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms and Falling Snow", when Fanghua came back from outside.

"Is everything that I told you done done?"

Fanghua said: "It's been done. The adopted son of Mother Xue is named Zhou Cong. Their family is an outsider. They had quite a bit of property back then and bought a lot of land. It's just that his parents were not in good health and passed away early. There was a big rich man in that village, most not a human being, who seized seventy-eight out of ten of Zhou Cong's land, which was not enough. He even took over a dozen or so houses built by his family in the early years.

I have reported this matter to the prince's trusted officials who stayed in Beijing, and the officials sentenced the rich man to confiscate his home and exile, not only returned Zhou Cong's house and land, but also distributed the properties confiscated from the rich man's house to the villagers. benefit.

Now Madam Xue has moved to live with Zhou Cong in the green brick house. "

"Oh? Then Zhou Cong is willing to provide for Nanny?"

Fanghua smiled and said: "Why don't you want to? Zhou Cong no longer has parents, and he has a nanny to accompany him. He can't ask for it. The nanny said that she is old after all, and now the life of Zhou's family is restored. With her vitality, she wants to marry Zhou Cong a good wife and make this day prosperous."

Fanghua spoke so well that a smile appeared on Qing's face, and the haze that had shrouded her body for the past few days seemed to have dissipated a lot.Keqing took out a box from the cabinet, and took out another 500 taels of silver bill from the box and handed it to Fanghua.

"You send this banknote to the nanny, and tell the nanny to choose, and she must choose a good girl to be Zhou Cong's wife. Also hire some women and maids to take care of her. She is old, so don't work too hard. .”

Fanghua nodded and was about to turn around when Keqing stopped her again: "Fanghua, come back."

"What other orders does the master have?"

"The prince knows about grandma...what should I say?"

"...The prince is currently on a tour with the emperor. His officials have reported this matter to the prince, but there has been no reply yet."

"...That's right, he's not in the capital now...you go, think about it this time, no one in that village will bother the Zhou family, so settle down well and tell her I'll go see her when I'm free .”

"Yes."

Fanghua left, Baozhu and Ruizhu here looked at Qin Keqing still frowning, feeling very anxious.

Baozhu boldly asked: "Grandma, when do you plan to go to Xue's house to recognize relatives?"

"Recognize?" Keqing chewed on the two words and finally smiled bitterly, "I haven't decided yet."

Baozhu said: "Grandma, I think what Nanny Xue said is very reasonable. Mother is the eldest uncle, and Master Xue is your uncle. Besides, based on his attitude towards your mother back then, if you come to see me this time, Dear, he will never deny you."

Ruizhu also said: "Yes. What kind of life does grandma live in this mansion? Then what kind of family is the Xue family? You don't need to look at anything else, you only need to look at the children of the Xue family to know. Taking over such a large business of the caravan at such a young age is considered capable. Master Xue is even better than him. He was admitted as a scholar when he was eight years old. Look at Miss Bao again. It’s not me who say, these things that we often walk around in our house Grandma and girls are not as good as Miss Bao. Miss Bao is well-informed, considerate and careful.

To say something disrespectful, although grandma has the father of a prince, but he has a noble status and is busy with things on weekdays, so he rarely takes care of grandma's affairs.Why don't grandma recognize this relative early, at least she has someone to talk to when she has something on her mind.
