[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

"What do you know? The monthly payment rules for the girls were set by the old lady when she was young. If you said that in front of so many people, the old lady might be annoyed."

In Jia Min's generation, the Jia family also had four girls, but these four girls were all from the Rongguo Mansion.It is rare for regular wives to treat the concubine's concubine's daughter as their own.Asking them to follow their aunts to take two taels of silver might not be a slap in the face.

At that time, Jia Min, like the three concubine sisters, received two taels of silver every month, but Jia Min was subsidized by Jia's mother, the mistress of the house. She was a direct descendant, and her own mother took care of the house. very well.In Yuanchun's generation, Yuanchun was Mrs. Wang's biological daughter, and she was raised by Jia's mother. She also didn't rely on the pocket money of two taels of silver a month.

Today's three girls, one is born of a concubine whose father didn't care about her mother's early death, one is born of a thorn in the eyes of the second housekeeper's mother, and the other is fostered by Ningguo Mansion.There is no subsidy from their respective biological mothers, and they are not born in the same family, so the monthly money rule of two taels of silver for girls has continued to this day.

People in Rongguo Mansion have always thought highly of themselves, with a friendly face, but deep down they envy Xue's family for being rich, but also look down on those from Xue's family.In order to celebrate Sister Feng's birthday that day, everyone gathered together.As soon as Zuo Xi's words came out, although Jia's mother didn't show it on the face, she was extremely displeased in her heart.

It feels like someone else is showing off their wealth.

After dinner that night, Mother Jia called Sister Feng over, and then the girl of Jia's family raised the monthly money.

"Whether I'm happy or not, I don't rely on her to live. I respect her for being old, and I usually hold her and coax her, that's my upbringing. But don't provoke me, otherwise I don't care who her ancestors are, Let’s stick together. Her girl from Jia’s family is worthless. Do you still call my girl from Xue’s family worthless to accompany her? I did the first day of junior high school and blamed me for being fifteen? There’s no such reason. I’ve never seen your family like this again , not even telling the truth.”

"I know you are precious." Sister Feng choked when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything. She only talked about the monthly money throwing fee: "Not counting you and our eldest sister, the three months cost 30 taels of silver. It costs 360 taels a year."

Sister Feng didn't regard Zuo Xi as an outsider, or in front of Zuo Xi, the instigator, Sister Feng complained that the Rongguo Mansion was unable to make ends meet.

In the past, the three girls only paid 72 taels a year, but now they pay nearly 300 taels more.That's not to mention other things, such as the hairpin jewelry for each season, clothing materials, and the rouge and moon powder money that is paid separately every month, etc.If you count the monthly allowances of the former girls, how much money will you get in a year?

"It's not easy to save money. If you marry all the girls in your family as soon as possible, you can not only save the next month's money, but also get back a sum of dowry. As for the dowry, don't you old ladies say that there are too many things every day?" The bottom of the box collapsed? Telling her to go out is also your filial piety. If the boxes that hold things are alive, I would also kneel down to thank you for your kindness. Now that you ask her to pay the dowry money, your father-in-law can save a fortune If you wait any longer, all her private houses will be left to Baoyu. The dowry of the second girl, but you are the eldest wife who pays by yourself." Zuo Xi waved the handkerchief, pretending to be impatient to give Sister Feng an idea, "I see that this garden is the one that costs the most. Once the three girls are married, the garden will be closed, and it will save a lot."

"To put it simply, can the sister-in-law, mother and son and Baoyu get married?"

Zuo Xi sneered when he heard the words, and looked Sister Feng up and down: "Is your brain rusted? The girls are all out of the garden, and the melon fields are under the plums. The widow and uncle live in the same garden. It's hard to say .Sister-in-law will never live in the garden anymore. There is only one Baoyu left. Baoyu is timid, "

Zuo Xi stopped talking at this point, and gave Sister Feng a meaningful look.

Baoyu timid?

Sister Feng understood Zuo Xi's unfinished meaning in a blink of an eye, and then she stretched out her hand and nodded on Zuo Xi's forehead, "You are full of heart, and you always say that you are stupid. I see that if you are stupid, there will be no more spirits in this world." gone."

"I'm not as good as you. Take advantage of profits and take up lawsuits. There is nothing you dare not do. I just can't figure it out. Is the Rongguo Mansion stepping on the dragon's veins, or is it because the royal family has won the gold medal for avoiding death? Tell you to do this? You don’t even think about it, you are not the only girl from the Wang family in Rongguo Mansion. You are the wife of the first wife, and your aunt is the wife of the second wife. The second wife also has Yuanchun and Baoyu. What does your first wife have?

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.If the second room is determined to want the noble title and family property of the eldest room, you can see whether the uncle will help you or the aunt.As for the things you do, you just pretend that no one else knows, and you don't even think about how I know.Even I, a relative who came to your house as a guest, knows that I am clear. Others may have evidence in their hands, and they are waiting for the time to take advantage of you.When the time comes to pull out the radish and bring it out of the pit, the big house loses its title because of you, see if the big lord and the big wife can tolerate you anymore, and can the brother-in-law respect you as much as they do now.You and your eldest sister's life. Tsk tsk, if you live well, it is because of the kindness of your husband's family.If life is not good, outsiders have to say retribution. "

These words are a bit harsh, but they also hit the nail on the head.People are always responsible for what they have done, but if they can look back in time, it might not be a bad thing.

Whether these words are listened to or not is up to Sister Feng, but obviously she can ask Sister Feng to stop and turn around, but she doesn't say anything, Zuo Xi can't do it.

So Zuo Xi said that she is not afraid of offending Sister Feng.

Sister Feng now knows how powerful her cousin is.

The words are like knives, but does Zuo Xi make sense?

Have.

But the more Zuo Xi said that, the more Sister Feng wanted to refute Zuo Xi's words.For a moment, she had nothing to say except the sentence that she was not afraid of retribution.

And what Zuo Xi said to persuade Sister Feng was to present the facts and make sense, telling Sister Feng clearly that this had nothing to do with private retribution.

Sister Feng was looking at Zuo Xi, and when she was full of thoughts, a little girl ran over and replied to Sister Feng: "The old lady and the others have all visited Qiushuangzhai, and they are asking Er. Why is grandma missing?"

When Zuo Xi and Sister Feng heard this, they also put away their words and hurriedly followed the girl.

However, it was such a short distance, Zuo Xi still took time to take care of her cousin, "When Bao Er. Grandma passes by, Lian Er. Grandma can have a good rest."

When Sister Feng, who was on her way wholeheartedly, heard Zuo Xi's sudden words, she staggered and almost fell into the Qinfang Lake beside her.

Zuo Xi held her with one hand, and said with a smile: "Look, look, if this is not the sister of the real relative, how can I help you with all my strength."

It was a pun, but it made Sister Feng laugh angrily, who understood.

After laughing and cursing a few words, another girl came looking for her. "The old lady told me to set up a banquet in Xiaocui Hall..."

Seeing this, Zuo Xi raised his eyebrows at Sister Feng, then tilted his head and pointed in the direction of Xiao Cuitang with a smile, "I'm not waiting for you yet."

After speaking, he smiled and chased after the big army in the direction the girl came from.

Sister Feng: God bless her, she will have a troublesome son-in-law and husband's family.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Being flustered by Zuo Xi's words, Sister Feng also lost the mood to make fun of Grandma Liu to amuse Jiamu and others.Without Grandma Liu's performance of "showing ugliness", the banquet did not lose much color.

It's just that what gave Zuo Xi a headache was that her butterfly wings were not strong enough, and she didn't make the dental plaque disappear when she slapped it back and forth.

Fortunately, she has read a lot of books, and she can always handle a few sentences, and no one made fun of her for being an idiot beauty.

At the end of the banquet, they followed Jia Mu to changcui nunnery.

When he arrived at Changcui Temple, Zuo Xi thought of Miaoyu's dislike for Grandma Liu when he was reading a book.

To be honest, little girls are a little willful and a little clean, but it's unacceptable to do it so obviously.

In fact, Zuo Xi has a bit of a double standard. In the original book, what Daiyu said about Grandma Liu, in Zuo Xi's view, it is because of Daiyu's too sensitive background.Thinking of her relatives who were also "fighting the autumn wind", Grandma Liu was too shameful, which made her mourn her misfortune and anger her words and deeds.She also felt sensitively that others saw her and Grandma Liu as the same person, and others didn't say it because they cared about her sensitivity...

In short, no matter what Daiyu does, Zuo Xi thinks it makes sense.It's really unreasonable to learn from Jia's mother's saying "she's still young".Or directly shift the responsibility to Jiamu, it is Jiamu's endless responsibility to teach.

After all, Zuo Xi's family used to visit relatives in the countryside when he was a child, but before the guests came, his mother took the time to tell Zuo Xi not to do this, not to do that.In order to make Zuo Xi obedient, he even told Zuo Xi, "People farm in the countryside and use manure to irrigate the food. The food they grow is eaten into your stomach. If you think people are dirty, don't think about you." Is it dirty?"

Zuo Xi looked at the tea served by Miaoyu, and when she recalled her thoughts, she couldn't help thinking that she hadn't thought about the past for a long time.

Miaoyu tugged at Daiyu's skirt, Daiyu tugged at Zuoxi, the two of them glanced at Jiamu and the others who were talking happily with Grandma Liu, and quietly got up and went to Miaoyu's ear room.

When Miaoyu saw Zuo Xi coming in, she immediately pulled her face down.He glared at Zuo Xi coldly, and continued with his movements.

"Hey, this should be the snow water that has been hidden for about five years, right? It also has the aroma of plum blossoms, um, it should be the snow on the plum blossoms." Zuo Xi sniffed it as if he could really smell it She shook her head at Miaoyu in a similar manner, "There is no need to prepare my share, I usually only drink mineral water that has been more than ten years old."

Miaoyu's hand that was pouring the tea trembled, and the hot tea beads landed on Miaoyu's white and tender fingers.But Miaoyu didn't seem to feel it, and looked at Zuo Xi fiercely with cannibalistic eyes.

"Hmph, I've never heard of any mineral water. I'm afraid you didn't make it up?"

"Even if you're good-looking, I won't pay for your ignorance." Zuo Xi put the veil around his mouth and pressed it, with a look of disgust on his face, "You just die of that heart."

Miaoyu was so angry that she picked up the hot water bottle in her hand. Seeing that, Daiyu hurried over and grabbed Miaoyu, and while pulling her back to the tea tray, she was still persuading Miaoyu, "She is used to talking Broken, let's ignore her."

While speaking, Daiyu took the time to turn her head and stare at Zuo Xi.

Calm down, this is already fried.

Zuo Xi blinked and accepted Daiyu's correction with a smile.But she didn't think that Miaoyu would really be so angry with her that she would hit her with a hot water bottle.

Take a look at the hot water bottle that Miaoyu is still holding in her hand, unless it is the cold water she once poured out.

→_→

Miaoyu really didn't pour tea for Zuo Xi, but only poured two cups for her and Daiyu to sip, Zuo Xi didn't care.I was bored looking at the ink painting hanging in Miaoyu's room, when Baoyu and Xiangyun ran over one after the other.

Baoyu opened his mouth and smiled and said that they drank Tiji tea and wanted Miaoyu's good tea.

"Why didn't Sister Bao eat?" Xiangyun scanned around and found that only Daiyu and Miaoyu were drinking tea, while Zuo Xi had nothing in front of him, so he couldn't help being curious.

"I thought she didn't make the tea well, so she got annoyed."

Xiangyun: If I don't give you tea, you really asked for it.

Miaoyu/Daiyu: Why is this man's mouth so broken?

Baoyu looked left and right, wanted to say something, but still dared not say anything.

As soon as Zuo Xi saw Baoyu like this, he couldn't help flirting again: "Baoyu, shouldn't the lottery holders in the Quicui Nunnery be replaced with a new one?"
