Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue
Chapter 3
After it was too early, Mrs. Wang waved away the crowd and dragged Xiao Xiao into the back room.
"It is said that the son of Xue's family is a good-looking talent, and his behavior and conversation are no worse than those of the sons of princes in the capital. It is a pity that he was born in a merchant. This alone makes him inferior." Mrs. Wang pulled Xiao Xiaoning to sit down. On the edge of the bed, "You are a daughter of our royal family. If you don't want to, grandma can make the decision with you. No one can force you to go."
"Grandmother?" Xue Ning didn't understand for a moment, how could the grandmother who had just had satisfied eyes say such words again.
Mrs. Wang lovingly stroked Xue Ning's head, "You were raised by me. Among these grandchildren, I love you the most. I also hope that you can find a good home. Not to mention that Gao married into the imperial family, Grandmother doesn't want to wrong you and marry into the Shang family."
Seeing that Xiaoxue Ning's eyes were red, Mrs. Wang took Xiaoxue Ning's hand and patted it lightly: "Now that someone from their family has sent this message, grandma will ask you again. If you don't feel wronged, grandma I think he is really good. Hey! I thought to keep you for a few more years, but now I can't.
"Grandmother~~~" Xiao Ning buried her head in the arms of Mrs. Wang, she was a little jealous of Miss Wang.Old Mrs. Wang really loved Second Miss Wang, and then she couldn't help but sighed in her heart: If she hadn't gotten into Miss Wang's body, Old Mrs. Wang would have sent a white-haired man to a black-haired one. What a scene.
She patted Xue Ning's hand twice, turned around and pressed lightly on the inside of the bedside post, and suddenly a carved peony flower about ten inches in size popped out from the back of the bedside.Mrs. Wang pulled out the carved peony, which looked like a small drawer.He took out a delicate rosewood box from inside, turned around and handed it to Xiao Ning.
Surprised by the exquisite mechanism on the bedside of the old lady, he took the red sandalwood box in doubt, and looked at the old lady in a daze.
Old Mrs. Wang chuckled, "This man always loves the new and abandons the old, and loves the fresh and tender. Now the Xue family promises us to take concubines when we are [-] and childless, but this is something that the children of aristocratic families in the capital can't do. With this, and our Wang family supporting you, the Xue family will never dare to neglect you."
She motioned to Xiao Ning to help her go to the table and sit down, "Just remember, if you can't win over your husband's heart, you will be the one who suffers, do you understand?" Great, Mrs. Wang said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, grandma, my granddaughter understands." Sitting beside Mrs. Wang, Xue Ning replied obediently.
"En!" Old Mrs. Wang nodded, "But you can't just rely on men, we women still rely on three things after we get married.
One is the natal family, the other is the children, and the third is the dowry. "Looking at the red sandalwood box, motioned Xiao Xiao to open it.
Xiao Ning wanted to open it to see what was inside, but kept pressing it.This will require the old lady to signal, and open it curiously.I saw a stack of papers in the box, looked up at the old lady, and saw that the old lady was just drinking tea by herself with a tea bowl, so I lowered my head and took out the stack of papers in the box.
"Grandmother!" Xue Ning was really frightened, and took a cursory glance, the few chapters on this stack of papers were farm deed papers, and the next one would be no worse than this.
"It's done. Grandma is old. These things can still be brought into the coffin." She waved her hand to stop Xiao Ning from opening her mouth, "When the eldest sister got married, I also added makeup. I also kept you two You just take the brother's share."
Hearing what her grandmother said, Xiao Ning took the deed paper back into the red sandalwood box. "Grandmother! My granddaughter will definitely remember every word my grandmother said today. But please don't talk nonsense, grandma. My granddaughter still wants you to help teach her grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren in the future."
"Hush, that's not going to be an old goblin anymore!" Mrs. Wang smiled and touched Xue Ning's forehead with her index finger, "It's done, grandma has other things to do, you can go back first."
"Yes." Xue Ning stood up and responded when he heard the words.
Back in the boudoir, waving everyone away, Xiao Xiao took out the red sandalwood box from her bosom and opened it.Looking closely at the stack of deed papers, the more she looked at it, the more delighted Xiao Xue Ning was.
The old lady was originally from a wealthy family, so there will be no shortage of dowry.There is also the private house that the old lady married into the housekeeper of the Wang family and kept for so many years, and there is also the one left after the old lady Wang left.It is conceivable that the old lady must have a lot of things in her hands.Among these things, the top level is naturally the estate.
That's all Xiao Xiaoning held in his hand.There are three Zhuangzi among them, and the smallest has eight hectares of land, which is a full four hundred mu!Not to mention the other two Zhuangzi who are more than twice as big as this, and their acres are all fertile land.Carefully putting the three Zhuangzi's deed papers back into the box, Xiao Ning couldn't stop trembling in her heart.So many places?If it is placed in modern times, the richest man in the country is nothing more than that.
The next few deeds are real estate. Except for a courtyard with three entrances in the capital, the remaining two courtyards are in the hometown of Jinling.The Wang family's ancestral house was originally in Jinling, so it's not surprising that most of the properties purchased are in Jinling Xuening.Looking down, there are actually two shops.One is in the business of rouge and gouache, and the other is in the business of cloth and garments, all of which are based on money.
Apart from these, the following are all bank notes.Counting carefully, there are two denominations of 5000 taels, two of 5 taels, five of [-] taels, and two gold notes of [-] taels, which add up to more than [-] taels of silver.
Xiao Ning was really a little dumbfounded at this meeting. I am afraid that the total of these things will not be able to beat 30 taels.She knew that the old lady loved Second Miss Wang, but she didn't love her so much. The coffin was almost like Miss Wang's, right?
According to Miss Wang's memory, Mrs. Wang also added a lot of good things to the eldest girl, but compared with what Mrs. Wang gave her today, it was nothing like mud.
Exclaiming in amazement, he put the deed paper back into the box, "We must hide this box well, otherwise others, especially Miss Wang, will know about it, so that's okay." He muttered a few words, got up and walked back and forth to find the storage place. land.
Sit down on the edge of the bed discouraged, and searched for a long time but couldn't find a place that satisfied Xiaoxiao.Putting the box on the bedside casually, Xiao Xiao suddenly stared at his wrist without moving.
I woke up early this morning and went to pay my respects to the old lady, and then came the impact of a large sum of money, and she actually forgot such an important matter.
Rubbing the jade bracelet on his wrist, he closed his eyes and said 'go in' silently, and sure enough, he opened his eyes and came out in an open space.
Looking around, Xiao Ning, who had just eaten a big meal, only had one feeling, 'clear soup with little water'
"It's so desolate! Where's my landscape? Where's my spiritual value? Where's my farm? Do you want to be so picky about black and white!" Despondently walked to the side of the boulder, Xiaoxue Ning kicked in frustration.
Suddenly, the boulder shattered to the ground.Xiao Xiao was taken aback, when did she become so strong.Hesitantly took a step forward and squatted down, the pile of rubble suddenly shook a few times, so frightened that Xiaoxue Ning fell back and fell to the ground.
After hastily getting up and taking a few steps back, Xiao Xiao carefully looked at the pile of rubble.I saw that the rubble pile was shaking more and more violently. In the blink of an eye, the rubble was bubbling like boiling water, and then boiled and sank like steamed buns.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no more movement.Xiao Ning stepped forward cautiously, where there was a gravel, now there is a small spring.About eight inches in size, the water inside is as green as blue.
"No," carefully looking closer, it wasn't that the water was as green as blue, but an unknown blue flower growing in the bottom of the water, which reflected the small spring in blue.
Thinking about the result of the pile of rubble just now, Xiao Xiao didn't dare to touch the spring water directly with his hands.
Close your eyes and say 'go out' silently. Open your eyes and you are already in the boudoir.First put the rosewood wood given by the old lady into the space, and then raise your voice to change people in.
"Lan'er, go and get a spatula." Regardless of Qing'er's suspicion, she waved her hand to signal Lan'er to get it quickly.
…………
In Xue's mansion, there was only a handsome man sitting below and listening to the middle-aged man with his head bowed.It was Master Xue and the uncle of the Xue family, Xue Qian.
"Have you thought about it? Cough..." Xue Qian hurriedly got up and took a cup of tea and handed it to his father. Master Xue took a sip and continued: "Although we are a business, we are still in the Ministry of Households Yes. If the Wang family is really unwilling, I will ask another family for you as my husband, and you don't need to wrong yourself."
Children are always good for their own family, not to mention that Xue's family, which can be included in the four great families of Jinling, is really just an imperial merchant as it appears on the surface?Only these things, how can women and other people know.This is the reason why everyone in the Wang family disagrees except Mr. Wang.
"Father, don't worry, the child doesn't feel wronged." Bai Yu seemed to have a determined face, a gleam of light flashed in her dark eyes, and replied in a deep voice.
The Xue family has spent most of their energy on doing business in recent years, and almost none of the children in the family can study for the imperial examination.Now there are still some old ways in the capital, but Master Xue's body is getting weaker and weaker now, if he kicks his feet, when the tea is cold, the Xue family is like a piece of fat, anyone can eat a bite.Then came to Beijing in a hurry, thinking of making a good relationship for the eldest son.
Seeing Father Xue's silence, Xue Qian continued: "Father, now the child has sent someone to pass on the message, and there is also news that Mrs. Wang is satisfied. This matter is so good."
Only then did Master Xue look up at Xue Qian, at the handsome, handsome, talented eldest son.I also thought of sending someone to inquire about the news of the second girl Wang's "unruly" and the family motto of the Wang family that "a woman who has no talent is a virtue", sighed: "I have only wronged my son."
"It is said that the son of Xue's family is a good-looking talent, and his behavior and conversation are no worse than those of the sons of princes in the capital. It is a pity that he was born in a merchant. This alone makes him inferior." Mrs. Wang pulled Xiao Xiaoning to sit down. On the edge of the bed, "You are a daughter of our royal family.
