[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Chapter 237 I'm a Princess in the Red Mansion 108

Here Miaoyu left, but Panxiang Temple still kept people. Master Xuanyin was a monk, and her natal family still had people. There was still a property under the name of Panxiang Temple, and people around Xuanyin Shitai helped take care of it, so The gate of the temple was also closed, and Xing Zhong's family was asked to move out. Miaoyu even told the steward in private that if the Xing family couldn't pay the rent for a while, there was no need to force them, but don't ask them to go to the main hall to pay back the rent. The place where their master and apprentice live is.

Here Xing Xiuyan sent Miaoyu away, tossing and turning at night, on the other side, Xing Zhong came back drunk again, and seeing his daughter-in-law's worried face, he couldn't help being a little angry, and scolded, "What do you mean by making such a miserable look? No wonder you guys It's always not going well outside, it's because of your appearance all day, that directly washed away the luck of the men!"

Xing Zhong's daughter-in-law also came from a small family, and with Xing Zhong, she only had a low eyebrow and was pleasing to the eye. Now she quickly admitted her mistake, and then said, "Master Xuanyin in the temple has brought her disciples to the capital!"

Xing Zhong was not interested in this, "What does it matter if we go to the capital? We didn't drive us away anyway, so we just continued to live!" I don't know how much peace of mind.The two nuns left as soon as they left, and he was relieved. After all, those two are fastidious people, and they have always disliked him like this, so that he had to drink too much and had to stay away. Let them see that now that they have all moved away, he will naturally be at ease!

Xing Zhong's daughter-in-law suddenly became anxious, "The head of the family, you can't say that. Over the years, the eldest girl in the family has studied and read with Master Miaoyu, and she often came back after eating there. I don't know how much chewing was saved. Miaoyu The little master is rich, and his hands are loose. When the big girl gets married, I’m afraid he will give something as a dowry. Now that they are gone, isn’t it money for the big girl to eat and wear? Our mother and daughter are two for a month If you come down to do embroidery work, you can’t earn a lot of money in total, except for food and rent, you can hardly save it. Now that you have an extra expense, can you live on?”

Xing Zhong listened casually at first, and then frowned. He didn't know how much suffering he had suffered all these years because he had no money. Back then, the Xing family was considered a wealthy family. Give him a little bit of family property, if he made a mistake that time, he can use the money to make up for it, so he won't lose his job, and won't get worse and worse.

Now that the old wife made such a calculation, I was really surprised.

The more Xing Zhong thought about it, the more he felt that the family property he was allocated was too little, so he made up his mind to go to the Xing family to get back what he should have. It should be divided into [-]%. Although he has drunk himself into a drunk for many years, his mind is not too confused, especially when it comes to money issues, he is still clear.At this moment, he was thinking about which clan elders to find and what benefits to promise so that he could re-discuss the matter of family separation, and fell asleep in a daze.

The Xing family lives in the city of Gusu. Xing Zhong moved out of the city after he lost his errand. These days, he is not a posterity. When he enters the city, he can take a bus and get there in a few ten minutes. It is actually very troublesome to enter the city now. There is also a city gate tax. What's more, Xing Zhong has gone back and forth over the years. The little money at home is not enough for drinking. He still has some bottom line, and he will not borrow money to drink.Therefore, after entering the city, he found out that the Xing family had long been lonely.

Xing Dequan is a jerk, before the eldest sister stared at her, holding all the money in her hands, when the eldest sister got married, this time she married not a first-class general, but a small official in an ordinary place, her foundation is not considered Naturally, if you don't have the confidence to marry, you will take away your natal family's property. Therefore, in addition to getting a generous dowry for yourself, the family property is still left to Xing Dequan.

Xing Dequan was too tightly controlled by his elder sister back then. Therefore, when Xing followed her husband to work in other places and couldn't control him, she immediately let herself go, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. There can still be a reasonable marriage. The third sister was directly sold by Xing Dequan, who was jealous. He sold his family property to sell his sister, and sold his sister to sell the house. In the end, Xing Dequan couldn't pay off his gambling debts and was cut off. I don't know where it went.

When Xing Zhong heard about this, he was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he was about to explode with rage. Damn, sharing some of my family property at the beginning was like killing you, but after only a few years, you will lose everything Yes, if I knew this, I should have found you sooner, so I could get a little share.Xing Zhong was so regretful that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and finally went back listlessly.

Seeing Xing Zhong's distraught appearance, his old wife also found it strange, so she asked a few more questions. Xing Zhong finally came to his senses, and told what he had heard in frustration. His old wife was also dumbfounded. Back then, the Xing family was considered a country gentry. The family had thousands of acres of fertile land, some of which were planted with rice and some with mulberry. Every year, they earned a considerable amount of income just by selling raw silk. The eldest son and daughter-in-law, but they also have a few taels of silver every month. Compared with now, they lived like gods at that time.In the end, such a large family business was actually defeated?

Without this hope, Xing Zhong didn't even think about going to this sister Xing. The sky is high and the road is far away these days, and he doesn't know what the situation of Xing is now. He calculated his livelihood, and then calculated Xing Xiuyan's age. After a while, he said, "The big girl has reached the age to discuss marriage!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Xing Zhong's old wife began to worry. Xing Xiuyan followed Miaoyu to study and read. Once a person has knowledge, his heart will naturally be high. Can she be willing to marry an ordinary family and work hard all her life?But, serious scholars, who would like Xing Xiuyan?Marriage is a good thing with two surnames. The Xing family has no permanent property, and Xing Zhong is a famous alcoholic. He is drunk 360 days a year, [-] days a year. Whoever wants such a father-in-law is not shameful enough!As for Xing Xiuyan's own quality, hehe, ordinary scholars from a small family, marrying a daughter-in-law came back to manage the family business and continue to support themselves to study, not to marry a confidante who can sing with their poems.

In fact, many scholars have very clear goals. Before being admitted to fame, what they want is a rich dowry and a wife who can earn money. For example, if someone can marry a textile machine as a dowry, such a girl is very easy to marry. Scholars at the bottom all like to marry such a wife. There is no other way. Studying outside of work is a very expensive thing. Just buying books is a huge expense. Accommodation and food expenses, all kinds of communication between literati, there is no cost.Therefore, a wife who can earn money is very important.After becoming successful and famous, you can pursue spiritual harmony.

With a background like Xing Xiuyan's, successful people can only accept her as a concubine at most, while those who are struggling will dislike her for not having a dowry, and her natal family is not up to date.As for ordinary Yin Shiren, even if they want to marry Xing Xiuyan, it is because of her youth and beauty, and her literacy is not a bonus.

Xing Zhong didn't know what the old wife was thinking. His idea was that his daughter was born well, literate, able to write and count, so she would definitely sell for a good price!That's right, Xing Zhong didn't plan to find a marriage for his daughter seriously, but wanted to find a rich family so that he could ask for a generous dowry.

With this in mind, Xing Zhong began to ask around. He knew that selling his daughter was not good, but it depends on who wants a suitable girl to celebrate, or who wants to continue. After all, people with better conditions, No one would choose Xing Xiuyan, and only such a family can afford the dowry.

Xing Xiuyan Bingxue is smart. Although she is taciturn at home and hardly has much sense of presence, her mother is right in her idea. People who study a lot are actually high-minded and will not accept their fate.

Although Xing Zhong didn't talk about his plans in front of Xing Xiuyan, but her mother said a few things that she should talk about, and Xing Xiuyan paid attention.These days, for women, getting married is no different from reincarnating for the first time. If they really meet someone who is not good, it will really ruin their whole life.Don't talk about reconciliation, if your mother's family is not strong enough, as long as you dare to talk about reconciliation and divorce at your husband's house, your husband's family will immediately send you a letter of divorce to kick you out.

Xing Xiuyan knows that Xing Zhong knows only friends who know good marriages, so she has been paying attention to her parents these days.

On this day, when Xing Zhong came back, he was still drunk, but obviously, he was in a good mood. Xing Xiuyan's heart moved, and at that moment, he carefully removed a brick from a place behind the bed curtain, stretched his hand in, and After tearing down a brick, you can vaguely see the off-white mosquito net exposed on the other side of the wall, and the voice from the next door suddenly seems to be in your ears.

Xing Zhong's old wife helped Xing Zhong wash his face, drank water, and asked carefully, "Why are you in such a good mood today?"

Xing Zhong took a sip of warm water, smiled, and said, "The matter of the big girl has some clues! Hey, in the town next door, Mr. Yang lost his wife some time ago and is about to continue. Ma'am, isn't it decent?"

Xing Zhong's old wife hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Master Yang lost his wife, so he shouldn't be too old now!"

Xing Zhong said indifferently, "Why are men afraid of being old? Only when they are old do they know how to love others!" He didn't say that Mr. Yang was already half a hundred years old, and his grandson was almost as old as Xing Xiuyan.

Xing Zhong's old wife knew this husband very well, and when she heard this, she knew that Xing Zhong was hiding something, and her heart sank.Xing Xiuyan has always been well-behaved and sensible, I don't know how much trouble she should have saved, she is hoping that this daughter will be well, and Xing Zhong is obviously only looking for a dowry, so what kind of a good family can he be.

Xing Xiuyan's mother could think of it, and Xing Xiuyan naturally wanted it too. She put the brick back calmly, and then carefully pulled out the wooden hairpin on her head. The hairpin had obviously been carefully polished and was a little sharp. She took out the mouldings on the pillow, and took out a dozen silver beads from the inside. These were stuffed by Miaoyu before she left, saying they were for her to add makeup in advance, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to accept them Now it was her only hope.
