Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

However, Jinyao thought of one thing, her uncle and aunt are not too old, and her aunt is not jealous, why did she only have three heirs, Jia Lian, Yingchun, and Jia Cong in these years?

This is not something that a girl who has not left the cabinet can ask her. She thought that if she had a chance, she would ask Nanny Sun to help her find out. If there was a chance, she would let her aunt give birth to a son-in-law, and maybe the situation of the two of them would be different.

For the next few days, Jinyao went to Mrs. Xing's place to sit with her every day, or chat, or listen to her stories about when she was a girl, or gossip about Jia's house.

During the period, I also met Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan a few times. Yingchun's face was always numb, and no one could see any emotional fluctuations, but Xing Xiuyan was always too shy to lift his head when he saw Jinyao.

Mrs. Xing is her direct aunt, and it is because of her that she lives in Jia's house. Now Mrs. Xing is not feeling well. She spent the first few days as a niece playing with her sisters, and she didn't come to attend to the sick in time. Make her feel embarrassed.

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng always likes to take advantage of small advantages, and Jinyao's casual dismissal is enough to make her enthusiastic. Seeing that Jinyao goes to Mrs. Xing's place every day, she knows that her mother-in-law is really sick, so she can come and walk every day.

The daughter-in-law doesn't have much sincerity towards her mother-in-law, not to mention this step-mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing doesn't pick on her, just let it go.

But Jia Mu felt uncomfortable these few days. Her dowry Lai Nanny was talking to her, as if casually, Lai Nanny said:

"This second master and the Nian's family are the cousins ​​of the direct relatives. It's really unusual to see how warm Grandma is to Miss Nian's cousin."

Mother Jia sneered:

"That's because she didn't know the details of the previous generation. After she took over the housekeeping, she knew what was going on at home, but why didn't she think about why this happened?

Back then when her first aunt got married, she took away half of the Jia family’s treasury, as well as the wife’s dowry. Nothing was left to the old man, and all was given to the eldest aunt. Now this year, what the brothers and sisters squandered originally belonged to her and Lian Er. It's a pity that I'm still waiting for the little leftovers from others, I think it's good! "

The words were naturally heard by Yuanyang who was waiting on the side, and then she went to Ping'er and learned the words from her, and Ping'er said it to Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng's eyebrows really stood up in anger.

"Dare to make fun of us as fools! Thanks to the old man who has been watching our three melons and two dates all day long, he can't see such a big one that he should have. No, I'm so big and I can't bear it." After suffering such a big loss, this matter cannot be settled like this!"

Anyway, Jiang is still hot and old, it seems that Jia Mu can stir up Wang Xifeng's dissatisfaction with Nian's family by saying casually.Jia Wei's dowry was justified by the clan before the old man left. Although it was a lot, it would not empty the treasury. Otherwise, where did the old lady get the ten miles of red makeup when she married Jia Min?Where did the high dowry gift for Jia Zheng come from?

Ping'er regretted a little:

"Grandma doesn't want to forget it, so what can I do? This is the dowry that the old Duke prepared for his aunt before his death. No one else has anything to say."

"This is not just the dowry given by the old lady. There is also a large part of the dowry from the old lady and the former old lady. That is not a small sum. Naturally, he deserves half of his own son! No, we can’t come forward about this matter, call Second Master, go and call your Second Master back!”

Coincidentally, Nian Gengyao was also talking about money with Jia Amnesty.

Handing over a box containing bank notes and title deeds to Jia She, Nian Gengyao said:

"My mother asked me to hand it over to my uncle. I have been busy before, which delayed this matter. Over the years, my mother has changed several shops and farms in Huguang. This is the remaining silver and deeds. .”

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty pushed the box back without even opening it for a look.

"Your uncle can still eat, there is no need for these, you can take them back.

You take the silver and use it for management. Uncle has no skills and can't help you. The Rongguo Mansion has long existed in name only. Your future development in the capital will require your own efforts. This money will always be useful.

As for the shop and Zhuangzi, it's useless to put them in my hands. Jin'er is not young, and she will be married after the draft next year, so let her keep these as dowry!

In fact, the things left by my grandmother and mother were originally given to your mother as a dowry. Your mother has been smart and capable since she was a child, and she is hundreds of times stronger than me. Your grandfather said it when he was still there. It’s a pity that your mother is not a man, otherwise Rong The state government is by no means what it is now. I can't keep those belongings if they are left to me. Your mother will feel relieved. "

"Uncle, why should you be humble? My mother always misses you at home. She said that these properties were originally planned to be handed over to you in a year or two after leaving the cabinet, but she didn't expect to follow my father to take up the post as soon as she passed the door. It has been more than 20 years since then. Fortunately, the years are good. Not only have we not been short-changed, but we have made a profit of more than 30 taels these years. In addition to the increased property, there are still [-] taels of silver bills for you. Uncle just put them away. Enough to spend."

Nian Gengyao originally thought that Jia She didn't know the number in the box, so he told him cryptically.

Unexpectedly, Jia She laughed after hearing this, and patted Nian Gengyao on the shoulder:

"You kid is still playing tricks on your uncle! My mother is so big, my uncle told you to put it away and you just put it away. You can spend as much money as you want in the capital.

Besides, I can't keep it in my hands. You also know your cousin's virtue, and sooner or later he will be coaxed to hand it over to the second room.That's enough, don't worry about it, if you really worry about uncle getting old, no one will take care of him, you just take care of him! "

Nian Gengyao couldn't laugh or cry, and this uncle was in trouble.

"My uncle has said that my mother and uncle are older, so my nephew will naturally not look at my uncle's bleak evening scene, but my cousin is not very old, can it really be that he can't be upright?"

Jia Amnesty waved his hands indifferently:

"I can't help it anymore. I was misled by the old lady and the second room. It would be easier for me to count on him than to count on you."

Nian Gengyao just shook his head and remained silent.

Wang Xifeng's heart was like a cat scratching, and she walked up and down the room anxiously. The maids around her didn't dare to speak loudly, and they all stood against the wall like a log.

Ping'er and Feng'er tried a few words of persuasion, but they gave up after it didn't work.

Finally seeing Jia Lian's figure, Feng'er said happily:

"Second Master is back!"

As soon as Jia Lian came in, he was watched enthusiastically by everyone in the room, and he was a little afraid to enter for a while, when he saw Wang Xifeng salivating on his face:

"Who's making grandma angry again?"

Ping'er waved all the maids in the room to go out, while Feng'er and himself stood guard outside the door.

"How dare I be angry? Ever since I married into your family, one day I will not conscientiously serve the whole family, but you are so lucky, you still keep your eyes on me?"

"I'm wronged, where did grandma come from? I can't wait to give my whole heart to grandma."

"Let's start with the dowry of your own grandmother and mother..."

Qilan Courtyard is bustling with activity, Sanchun sisters, Daiyu and Baochai make an appointment to come and play with Jinyao.

Jin Yao is also welcome. Although she lives a fulfilling life, she also likes to play with girls her age.

"I like my sister's place next year. The room is cool and there are delicious fruit snacks. It's really comfortable." Xichun has been very close to Jinyao since she entered the mansion, and she speaks generously.

"Come here every day if you like it, who is worse than your stutter! But is there no ice in your room?"

"I come every day because I'm afraid that my sister will annoy me and chase me away." Xichun smiled and only answered the first half of the sentence.

"The old lady said that the girl's family is weak, so she can't use more ice, and she only gives a pot during the day for a few days when she's in ambush, but it's not possible on weekdays."

Jinyao was a little surprised that it was Yingchun who explained. She glanced at Xue Baochai who pretended to appreciate the jade carvings on the treasure shelf but didn't hear this, and Tanchun who was talking to Daiyu, and said with a smile:

"The sisters can come and sit with me during the day. I am not in good health and I am afraid of cold and heat. The temperature in the room is suitable all year round."

Xue Baochai chuckled lightly:

"We would like to come and play with sister Nian every day, but sister Nian often has to go out, so it's not easy to come and guard the house for you."

Daiyu and the others all laughed at this.

Jin Yao also laughed:

"It's true, I can't stay at home."

"Is sister Nian coming to Beijing this time to participate in the draft?" Daiyu asked.

"Isn't that the same as Sister Xue, who also entered Beijing to participate in the draft. But my aunt loves you so much, she is willing to let you enter the palace?" Xichun blurted out.

Xue Baochai looked a little uncomfortable:

"Sister Nian participated in the general election. I was going to participate in the minor election back then. The general election is not about serving in the palace. Those who pass the election will be married by the emperor. It's different."

"What did sister Nian go out to do when she was in Huguang? Did some young ladies open a poetry club to discuss poetry?" Tanchun hurriedly changed the subject.

"Sometimes there are flower feasts for people, and they will write poems during it. Sometimes they go out for an outing, some go hunting, and some go to the temple to offer incense, regardless of the reason."

Jinyao has a bit of pity for Xichun. As the only lady in Ningguo Mansion, she is also a concubine lady. She lost her mother when she was young, and her father became a monk early. She was taken to the old lady's place to be raised with her two concubine daughters before she could remember anything. .

Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son are extravagant, and they are like strangers to this only blood relative, and they don't care much.

Although Xichun is young, she is not confused. How can she not feel wronged?There is no difference between having a real brother and not having one, as there is no support.

"very nice!"

The girls are all lemons.

"Sister Nian, do you know how to ride and shoot?" Xue Baochai was quite surprised. One must know that Jinyao, who looks like she might collapse in the wind, can still ride and shoot arrows?really?

The other girls were also surprised.

Jinyao laughed:

"What's so strange about this is that our Nian family also started with martial arts. There are very few people in the family who don't understand martial arts. Although I am not in good health and I can't learn martial arts, I can still shoot a rabbit. The most important thing is to participate in the process. How much better it is not to be a hunter based on hunting skills."

"Sister Nian said yes, but it's not safe to hunt only the girl's house? Will you encounter tigers, wolves and other ferocious beasts?"

"The chances of encountering a fierce beast are not high. After all, fierce beasts are also afraid of crowds. They avoid them when they see them far away. However, what the third cousin said is true. For safety, most of the time, they will bring their brothers with them. When they go on stage, they can also order them. It’s fun to help catch prey.”

A few girls look at me and I look at you, which has touched their blind spot of knowledge again.Either they don't have brothers, or they have brothers but they don't play with them.

Jinyao felt a little sympathetic when she saw it. She has three older brothers, and even the older half-brother loves her very much. In Huguang, she can always participate in the large-scale activities organized by the ladies of the government, and there is always her brother to accompany her. Comparing her life now is really like honey, it seems that happiness is really a comparison.

"I'm going to participate in a hunting event in two days. It's led by the sons and daughters of Princess Qinghui. Many young masters and ladies in Beijing will go there. Sisters, why don't you go and have fun with me when you have nothing to do?"
