Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Chapter 2

"Take your things back to your own room. I don't want them. By the way, put these things separately, jewelry doesn't matter, and there is no mark anyway. The calligraphy and paintings and this jade peach are too conspicuous. After a few years, go out and change them , don’t leave a handle.” Ai Ruo really doesn’t care about this stuff, she’s already at this age, and now she’s taking it, and she’s going to give it to them in the future, she can’t say that the second child is filial, so she’ll give it to the eldest, right?Isn't this what people hate?It's better for everyone to earn what they earn, which saves a lot of trouble.

Miaoyu is so ashamed, how can I take back what I gave away.

Ai Ruo took the pair of bracelets after thinking about it, and smiled at her, "I'll take this, but I'll treat it as your gift. After a few years, when I'm old, I'll return it to you."

Miaoyu smiled slightly, and Xiao Heitan was snorting nearby, showing that the old lady had gone too far.Obviously it was given by me, but I only praised my daughter-in-law for being good.But looking at Miaoyu, Xiao Heitan laughed foolishly again.

Ai Ruo really doesn't mind her son's behavior. Anyway, since he got married, he has often been so stupid, so she is used to it.But seeing her son's stupid look, she felt a little better.Sometimes, she herself felt a little tingled.You think, in fact, if she knew that the building was going to be burned, she would also move out the things inside.It always has to be burned. You can't just watch good things burn up, right?So this is also an environmentally friendly behavior.

But this is a kind of excuse she can make for her behavior. However, what she is doing now, this is her own son, and she will be a little bit entangled in her heart.Taking advantage of the fire to rob is really not a good word. She doesn't want her son to become unlimited. If she does this kind of thing too much, can her son still have such a clean smile on his face?

But looking at the son and daughter-in-law like this, although they haven't consummated their marriage yet, it can be seen that they get along very well.Miaoyu is very clear about Xiao Heitan.Miaoyu doesn't think there's anything wrong with them, so that's it. They are a husband and wife who will live a lifetime. Their values ​​are the same. As a mother-in-law, I have nothing to say.Shake your head and shake this out.

"Sister-in-law. Check the box for interlayers." Jia Fen didn't care about these moral matters. She looked at the wooden box on the table. She saw her brother open it just now, but it was obvious that the inside and the outside were inconsistent, so That's why I said this.

Miaoyu was taken aback, whether there was any interlayer in the box, she would naturally check carefully when she got home, who's dowry was in this era.There are not many boxes with interlayers, but since my sister-in-law said it at this time.Naturally, she wouldn't take that face off, so she smiled at her, and asked someone to spread a veil on the kang table, pour out the contents of the box, and check it carefully in front of everyone.

Ai Ruo looked at her daughter, then at her daughter-in-law.Glancing again, the nieces who came over out of curiosity.At this time, it is possible to show each person's personality.

Jia Fen still had a good time, and the tone she spoke to Miaoyu just now was actually a bit indicative.Although my sister-in-law is a spoiled guest before going out, and she usually needs to be coaxed by her sister-in-law, but it doesn't mean that my sister-in-law can talk to her sister-in-law like this; and Miaoyu is really quiet, obviously she knows very well that my sister-in-law has no evil intentions, besides After a few years, she will move, and her aunt will marry, so she doesn't have to conflict with her, so she doesn't take it to heart at all, and always appears to be easy-going; while Lin Hua and Xiang Yun feel like guests, but Lin Hua and Xiangyun are different again.Lin Hua looked a little shy, because she had a family, a father, and a younger brother. She lived in the Lin Mansion half the time, and occasionally came to live in the Jia's.Therefore, she really regarded herself as a guest; and Xiangyun had nowhere to go, so her identity was a bit embarrassing. Fortunately, she has a good temper. Ai Ruo also told her that they were ordered to take care of her, so she stayed Here, you don't need to be burdened, just be yourself happily.This made Xiangyun very useful, so in the past two years, Xiangyun has really been much happier.But when she talked to Miaoyu and the others, she was definitely not as rude as Jia Fen; Jia Fen was different from them, she was a lady from the Ning Mansion, and even though she was staying with her, her expenses were sent by the Ning Mansion. They don't need a piece of paper from Zhichengbo's house.So although she is different from Jia Fen, her attitude is more calm than Xiangyun.

So when they watched Miaoyu open the box, everyone had different expressions, but Ai Ruo was a little bit happy, that is, none of these children paid attention to the jewelry poured out of the handkerchief, their eyes were completely caught by the still Attracted by the mezzanine that was not found.She was very happy that none of the children she raised had shallow eyelids.

Although Miaoyu also has similar boxes, there are many craftsmen in ancient times, each with their own methods. Sometimes, more sophisticated ones have locks in the interlayer, which not everyone can open, and what's more, the locks There is also a blade on it. If there is no key for important documents, people will directly shred the documents inside without leaving any evidence.Wanting to open it forcefully, there are other organs in the mezzanine, all kinds of troubles, she just hopes that it will not be too troublesome.

Fortunately, they searched for a long time and carefully uncovered the wrapped red silk cloth, only to find a small eye in a very inconspicuous place, but the eye was made too much like the grain of the wood itself, if it weren't for it, they couldn't find it. In other places, Miaoyu didn't believe this was the case either.

The small eye is not very visual, so Miaoyu took the skill on the table and poked it in with a hairpin. Anyway, if it is or not, it will be it.Sure enough, the hair pin made a clicking sound, and a small board in the wooden cover popped open.

Even Ai Ruo felt that this was an ingenious workmanship, and after a closer look, it turned out that the lid of the small box was a little thicker.But Miaoyu hesitated for a moment, and compared the inside and outside of the box with her fingers, there was an obvious distance difference between the inside and outside of the box.But she couldn't find another keyhole.

"Press it in again." Ai Ruo smiled and said softly to her.

Miaoyu's eyes flashed, and she pressed it lightly again, but it couldn't go in.But it was changed and twisted immediately, and at this time, the interlayer below was opened.

"It's really not easy. There are two mezzanines. It seems that this person is really careful." Ai Ruo sighed softly. She doesn't like mezzanines. The secret room, and the same reasoning is, normal people, who has nothing to do with such a mezzanine box?Anyway, she didn't have it, and she didn't need it.And she is even less interested in the things hidden by corrupt officials. A handbook of hundreds of officials is enough to be annoying, but isn't this kind of stuff in the interlayer even more annoying?

Fortunately, in the upper and lower mezzanines, there is no such thing as letters that Ai Ruo is afraid of, only a dozen leading tickets for each.After cleaning everything up, even Xiao Heitan took a breath of air. A big ticket for a faucet is 1000 taels. This is a thick dozen...

This is what Miaoyu has the most, and her aunt secretly gave it all to her, so she is not short of this, and directly pushes all the big tickets in front of Ai Ruo, expressing confiscation.

"I just said, keep your things by yourself, I don't want it. Well, now you can be considered to be well-off." Ai Ruo smiled, thinking about Fu Shi, Fu Shi, thanks to the fact that this thing has arrived in Jia If the house is really ransacked, he is a little censor, and his family has so much cash, it is really not enough to cut off a few heads.But if you think about it, it's really nothing if you dare to be a hundred officials' handbook.

Miaoyu has most of these things in her hands. She hasn't officially taken charge of the family yet, so she is really not that philistine. On the contrary, she is quite disappointed. With a child's temper, she thinks it is right to have a secret letter.Seeing that the mother-in-law didn't want it, she gave Jia Fen, Lin Hua, Xiangyun, and Jia Xun two sheets, and Jia Xun another two by the way, "This is for Little Winter Melon, you hold it for him."

"Why?" Jia Huang was quite honest, no matter how young he was, he could recognize the face value of one thousand taels on it.Her monthly money is only two taels, which she can't spend, what's the use of her asking for such a big bill?expressed confusion.

"The idea was thought up by everyone, of course we share it." Miaoyu smiled slightly, expressing that it was not given by her sister-in-law, but the popular one who came up with the idea.

Ai Ruo laughed, Miaoyu was really smart!

Jia Huang hurriedly looked at Ai Ruo, and Ai Ruo also knew that Miaoyu was not short of money, so she nodded and asked them to keep it by themselves.

Jia Fen also felt that it was useless to ask for money, so she turned around and handed it over to Ai Ruo.

Ai Ruo still shook her head, and once again said that they should keep it by themselves. This is their private house. If she doesn't even know how to take this, her education will really fail.

A few little girls began to hold their chins and think about how to use the money.Jia Fen didn't speak this time.She has been with Ai Ruo since she was a child. In fact, at that time, the family environment was on the right track, the family income was stable, and the servants were well-trained. She could learn very little. On the contrary, Lin Hua and Miaoyu learned a lot outside.

Ai Ruo is actually a fool, she taught Jia Zhu and Jia Yuan carefully, but for the youngest son and daughter, she actually thought she had taught them, but she forgot that the environment is different, and many things are different.So the essential difference between Jia Fan and Jia Yuan is that she has no concept of money since she was a child.She knows how to housekeeper, but she really doesn't like making money and running a shop like Jia Yuan when she was a child.

So think about it, now that each of them has 2000 taels, the first reaction of her and Jia Huang is to leave it to the mother for safekeeping, instead of thinking about how to use it.After Ai Ruo's reminder, Jia Fan and Jia Xuan were at a loss, so they looked directly at Lin Hua and Xiang Yun.

Lin Hua was taught by his own mother, and after Jia Min passed away, the housekeeping power of the Lin family was not given to Liu Ke, but to Jia Min's two nuns.The two nuns no longer have relatives, and they regard Jia Min and Jia Min's children as relatives, so they will follow Lin Hua back when they have nothing to do. Fazi told Lin Hua that among these children, apart from Miaoyu, Lin Hua was the one who knew how to manage money the most.So when she got the banknote and heard from her aunt that they should make up their own minds, she was actually actively thinking about how she should use it.Seeing the bewildered look of the sisters now, she laughed quickly, and led everyone to the small hall on the side to discuss.
