[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

"Don't you care about the girl?" Seeing that Zuo Xi was shocked when she heard the news, Ying'er lowered her head to read the book again, knowing that such a large sum of money was lent out without even moving her buttocks. For a moment, this is too calm.So Ying'er on the side couldn't help anymore and began to complain to Zuo Xi, "Since I came to this mansion, my aunt has borrowed money twice in three days, 5000 taels today and 10 taels tomorrow. We just asked about it." Yes, no less than 20 taels. Now a mouth is [-] taels, even if there is a golden mountain at home, I can’t help but borrow it like this.”

"Be happy with your wife." Zuo Xi raised her head and glanced at Ying'er meaningfully, "It's hard for you to worry about this girl and you still haven't frown, it shows that God is partial."

"Girl~" Ying'er didn't expect Zuo Xi to be in the mood to make fun of her at this moment, so she called her angrily.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter how loose your wife is, the girl has already prepared a dowry for you and the other girls in the house." She smiled and made a quiet gesture, "Secret it~"

Zuo Xi bought tens of acres of high-quality farmland in the countryside of Tongzhou, not too far from the capital, with a land deed for every ten acres.Now the housekeeper is asked to find a tenant to grow it.

These lands were bought by Zuo Xi in advance for the girls who took care of her. They took care of her wholeheartedly, and she gave them a share of property, which was considered a drink and a peck, and they owed each other nothing.

Ying'er: "..." Although she didn't stop her grandmother from prodigal, at least she knew that her daughter's success was not a failure.

Of course, knowing that my girl prepared a dowry for myself and others. Hehe, I'm still very happy.

"But you're right, you really can't ignore this matter." Zuo Xi took his mind off the Mongolian book in his hand, turned his eyes around, and finally waved to Ying'er with a smirk.Seeing this, Yinger hurried over. "Go to Xiaodouzi, learn from Xiaodouzi what you just told me, and let him tell your brother."

Ying'er smiled at Zuo Xi with a face full of enlightenment, her eyes sparkling, "The girl wants to let the old man know."

"I don't think about anything, it depends on what my brother thinks."

Seriously speaking, Aunt Xue's defeat was all Xue Pan's money, if Xue Pan didn't care, then she would have no position to do anything.

Although she herself didn't want to do anything.

But based on what she knew about Xue Pan, Xue Pan might not say anything to Aunt Xue, but he was very likely to say something to the Jia family.

In this way, even if the 20 taels are in vain, you can still hear a few noises.

……

After the money was given out, Aunt Xue felt very distressed.Afterwards, when the family of three sat down to eat together, Aunt Xue's expression was obviously a little bit wrong.Hesitant to speak, he looked at Xue Pan, then at Zuo Xi.Zuo Xi turned a blind eye to it, happily eating the stewed elbow with ham sent by Mrs. Wang, and from time to time, stir-fried minced meat with sour bamboo shoots with chopsticks.But Xue Pan really didn't notice his old lady's tangled look, and after dinner with a good appetite, he went back to his room to sleep.

In order to honor his ancestors, Uncle Xue spent a whole day on horseback~

→_→

"Mom, you've always been resting, and I'm going back to my room." As soon as Xue Pan left, Zuo Xi immediately got up to leave, not giving Aunt Xue a chance to express herself.

Just when Aunt Xue felt sorry for Yinzi, regretted that she had soft ears, and didn't know how to talk to her children, Mrs. Wang was also worrying about Yinzi.

To build a family home is not only three to five thousand taels, nor can it be built at three to fifty thousand taels.Counting the times of digging and searching with your fingers, there is no one hundred and 5000 taels, don't even think about it.

Let’s say 100 taels, but where did so much money come from?

The situation in the mansion is getting worse year by year, although it is not enough to live without food, but it is still tight.Fortunately, the relatives sent some money over when they knew that the concubine was going to visit her relatives.It's just three thousand for this one and two thousand for that one.The 60 from the east and the [-] from the west made up only [-] taels.

Putting the 20 taels of silver notes borrowed from the Xue family together with the previous ones, Mrs. Wang sighed softly.

It's only 20 taels short.

But for the remaining 20 taels, Mrs. Wang didn't know where else to borrow it.

It was night, lying on the bed listening to the cold wind whistling outside the window, Mrs. Wang, who couldn't sleep because of worrying about money, somehow thought of the Lin family.

Since people like them get married, the first choice is the right family.The Linjia family was originally a very well-matched marriage.Although the Lin family lost its title, Mrs. Lin is a student of the emperor who passed the imperial examination, and his family background is not bad.Coupled with the fact that the descendants of the Lin family are weak, the family property has not been reduced from generation to generation due to the division of the family.If the sister-in-law is still alive, they can open their mouths to the Lin family.It's just that now that Uncle Lin has been ill for a long time, and he has to wait for a doctor to ask for medicine, it's hard to open his mouth.

If this life is lost, Miss Lin is young, the property of the Lin family. Mrs. Wang touched her heart, and found that she couldn't suppress this thought once she came up.

After a while, Mrs. Wang laughed at herself.The ancients often said that if you are poor, you want to change, so should it be on this?

When the ancients inexplicably carried a pot, Jia Lian had already rushed back from Yangzhou day and night.

In the original book, Jia Lian escorted Daiyu to Beijing, and took a few exquisite and precious things from Daiyu's inheritance to show courteousness to Sister Feng, which naturally made Sister Feng very happy.Now I can only use some sweet-scented osmanthus oil bought in the south to make up the number. Fortunately, Jia Lian knows how his wife is, so he gave 800 taels of silver to Sister Feng.

"Uncle said I worked hard, and rewarded me with 1000 taels of silver. I spent some on the way, and kept a little more, and the rest was kept by grandma."

"It's really only 1000 taels? What kind of family is the Lin family? 1000 taels of silver is not bad for a beggar." Sister Feng took the bank note from Jia Lian and gave Jia Lian a sideways look with a half-smile. Me? How much my uncle gave you is still not telling the truth. "

"My dear grandma, you have wronged me to death." Jia Lian had long thought of a speech, and as soon as she hugged Sister Feng, she vividly explained how the Lin family was at a loss in order to see a doctor for Lin Ruhai, so that Sister Feng had no choice but to believe it. .

"really?"

"I can still help outsiders coax grandma." Jia Lian left private money in order to coax his daughter-in-law, so he dared to say anything, and there was no limit to exaggeration.But she is also a battle-tested man, and when she saw Sister Feng saying this, she was not guilty at all, "...Uncle Lin is currently relying on high-quality medicines to support himself, so he dare not say for a day, only ten days. The money for the medicine must be more than the monthly money of our whole family. Even if our ancestors piled up mountains and filled the sea, they would not be able to withstand such waste."

After hearing this, Sister Feng felt sorry for the money, and frowned and asked Jia Lian, "Don't you want to save some for Sister Lin? The disease can't be cured. Why bother to spend money like this? If you die sooner or later, you will die. Why don't you give more money?" The living leave some property with them."

"That's why I kept it. I heard from the steward of the Lin family that Uncle Lin ordered Auntie's dowry to be sealed up and left for Sister Lin as the dowry. As for the rest," Jia Lian leaned back on the bed, "Without a son, the Lin family will cut off incense. No matter how much money you leave, it will be cheaper for outsiders. Daughter, after all, it is for others to raise, how much is too much. "

When Sister Feng heard this, it seemed as if someone had hit her head hard with a stick, and she couldn't tell what it was like, but looking at Jia Lian's expression and tone, she actually really agreed with Lin Ruhai's thoughts.Following Jia Lian's train of thought, Sister Feng couldn't help but ask herself, if she had no son, who would she end up with the wealth she had saved so hard?

Do you want to bring all the dowry to your eldest sister to your husband's house?

No, that's not how it was thought.Whether it is a son or a daughter, as long as it is born by her, and the flesh that falls from her body, who should give her things?

Turning to look at Jia Lian, looking at it, most of the confusion in Sister Feng's eyes disappeared.

Well, after going away for more than a year, I despised the two of them as soon as I came back, what the hell is itching?

Sister Feng's eyes turned quickly, her mobility was not weak, and she immediately pinched Jia Lian's thigh fiercely.

"Hey, grandma is merciful, if you forgive me~"

"I'll kill you heartless..."

Ping'er dismissed Wang's daughter-in-law and came back when she heard the disturbance inside. She glared at the door curtain of the inner room angrily, then sat outside to watch the door for the young couple who were fighting.

Speech, blue sky and white sun, shameless and shameless.

The 5 taels of silver that Lin Ruhai gave Jia Mu and Jia Lian did not dare to be greedy, mainly because Jia Lian was afraid that Lin Ruhai would mention the money in the letter to Jia Mu.But with the 5 taels of silver sent by the Lin family, Mrs. Wang is still short of 15 taels.

Calculate the money in hand, but it will not delay the start of work and the early expenses.

For a while, Rongguo Mansion began to invite Shan Ziye to measure the land and produce drawings, and Zuo Xi belatedly realized that Lixiangyuan could not live there.

Daiyu was not in the mansion, and the Jia family had seen everything they could see.It's meaningless to stay in this mansion now.In addition, the construction of the garden is about to start after the new year, so the mansion must be in a mess.

It's better to go home than to stay here.

At least live at home without paying rent~

╮(╯▽╰)╭

With this idea in mind, Zuo Xi planned to discuss with Aunt Xue and Xue Pan after the measurement results came out.And because it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, Zuo Xi asked Ying'er to pack all her luggage and bring it back with her when she returned home for the Chinese New Year.

The Xue family has come here since, and they always go back to the Xue family on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the New Year.On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I came to this mansion early to have New Year's wine, and moved back to continue to live here by the way.

Only this year, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zuo Xi got the news and told Aunt Xue and Xue Pan about moving back during dinner.

"...Auntie will definitely keep us here again. After all, the family is in a difficult situation. Renting a yard for relatives can also relieve one or two of them. It's just that the work starts, and there is a lot of noise. The second is that people are busy at home. We are still staying here, even if the master stays as guests, what kind of people are we ourselves? Let the uninformed people outside see it, maybe we will gossip about it. Or maybe my brother can't support the door, can't support the house .Or gossip about me and Mom."

She can understand her son, but what can those people say about her daughter and her?

Aunt Xue naturally didn't want to move back.But she also knows that her daughter is not aimless.Therefore, he looked at Zuo Xi puzzled, and urged Zuo Xi to clarify his words.

Zuo Xi is so bad, if she deliberately disgusts someone or wants to achieve a certain purpose, then it is really not something a naive aunt like Aunt Xue can bear.She glanced at Aunt Xue hesitantly, then lowered her head again, and murmured, "Mom, it's better not to know."

"How do you say that, what do you mean I don't know?" Aunt Xue felt that she had to ask Zuo Xi to explain clearly.

"That's right, I went to the temple to offer incense the other day, and heard some gossip."

"Hey, do you want to kill your mother in a hurry?" Zuo Xi's pretentious posture made Aunt Xue take the bait directly, and followed Zuo Xi's mind to ask.

"Mom, it's better not to ask my sister. Those dirty words are not something a daughter like my sister can say." Zuo Xi was still holding Qiao, but Xue Pan, who was not expecting, took the words unexpectedly.

Zuo Xi raised his head and looked at Xue Pan timidly, pretending to be a little quail on the face, but in his heart he yelled at Xue Pan crazily, "Boy, are you robbing business?" '

Aunt Xue's complexion changed when she heard this: "What are you brothers and sisters playing dumb, why don't you tell me quickly."

Xue Pan saw Aunt Xue like this, and said directly: "People outside say that the men of Jia's family pick up ashes, raise uncles, and pick up all kinds of smelly and smelly things in their own rooms..."

Zuo Xi rolled his eyes, and interjected: "Our family has been staying here and won't leave, others may think that you are going to remarry."

Aunt Xue: "..."
