[Red Mansion] Third Sister You's New Life in the Red Mansion

Under Zheng's persuasion, Xuanying finally calmed down, but she still insisted not to go with them.

According to Zheng's previous temper, she must be punished, but now she has no such spirit, one is in front of this person, she wants to show her kindness, this person also has a daughter, she is not good at acting viciously Second, she knew that Xiuying was a bastard, who always cared about eating but not beating.Besides, what about a beating?This stubborn bull can't accept it no matter how hard it is, can it still beat her to death?

You Chongyi also found it difficult.The two had a confrontation once, of course he knew that Zheng's youngest daughter was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that she would be so resistant to Zheng's remarriage.If he knew that it wasn't Zheng's remarriage that Xuying objected to, but him, I don't know how he would feel.

After a while, You Chongyi coughed lightly, "How about this, Second Miss Xuan, I want to talk about three things. The first thing, which shops and properties you want, you can just say it clearly, and just treat it as if your mother gave it to you. Dowry; as long as you don’t overdo it, I have no objection. The second thing, I will marry your mother sooner or later, it doesn’t matter whether you agree or not; what about the third thing?”

He paused, then looked at Xuanying, "You must change your surname to You, Xingsan, and recognize me as your father. If you disagree, then the first thing I said is also invalid."

For a while, both Xiuying and Zheng stared at him with wide eyes, You Chongyi smiled and looked at Xuanying, "How is it? You can think about it, don't rush to reply me."

Su Ying also looked at him, but didn't speak.The eyes of the two faced each other as if they were real.

After a long time, Xuan Ying finally nodded, "I don't want much. Jiamaxiang has already placed an order for a house, and I want to buy it, so that I will have a place to live. Repairs and furniture purchases cost money. I will first ask My mother borrowed three or 400 taels of silver, and I will return it later. I have read my mother's booklet about the land outside the city. There are thousands of acres of good farmland and more than 800 acres of mountainous land. The next one is at the mother's disposal; and the shop, I know that there is a spice shop in our family on the other side of Wuyi Lane, but it has been squeezed by Grandma Rong's shop, and it has been losing money in the past few years; the mother can't sell the shop at a price, Why don't you give it to me, I use it for myself, I don't want anything else." After glancing at You Chongyi, he looked at Zheng Shi again, "What do you think, mother?"

Zheng Shi didn't expect that Xiuying's request was so little, she was a little stunned for a while, she wanted to agree to Xiuying immediately, because she regretted it, and when the little daughter was older and more sensible, she might want more than that.On the one hand, she couldn't help but look at You Chongyi's face - that's the tragedy of a woman like her. Once she has a man, she thinks of relying on everything, clinging to everything, and no longer has her own thoughts.Originally, according to her intention, sooner or later her things would be distributed to the two sisters, but now that she is remarried, she has to keep some for herself, so Xiu Ying wants less, and she will have more money on hand in the future. Be generous.

You Chongyi has already figured out Zheng's family background.Over the past ten years, Zheng's shops and farms have earned tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, plus the value of selling these things in the future, what Chu Ying asked for from Zheng's was less than one in ten, so he was a little surprised .

He originally thought that Xiuying would speak up like a lion, but he didn't expect that she was not greedy, which also made him look at Xiuying even more with admiration.However, thinking that Xiu Ying finally agreed to the conditions he proposed, he still smiled slightly, "It's up to you. I'll give you the money you want to repair the house and buy furniture. Since we will become a family in the future, we can still pay for it." It doesn't matter if you don't return it or not."

"That's it, thank you, Father." Xuan Ying said straightforwardly.

You Chongyi was stunned for a while, then laughed out loud after a while, and looked at Zheng Shi, "It is useful to be able to bend and stretch. I think her future is not worse than that of the elder sister."

"Borrow my father's auspicious words." Now that she has obtained her own private property, Xiuying changed her words without hesitation, and began to flatter her, "Big sister is certainly lucky, but her father taught her well. She is dignified and polite. Gentle and virtuous, this is the only way to get into the eyes of the Jia family, and become the head of the family, after the daughter, she will have to be taught by her father!"

You Chongyi is the proudest thing in his life that he gave birth to a good daughter, Youshi. She was sensible and knew how to advance and retreat when she was young. Although she was dragged down by the successive deaths of her grandmother and mother, she became a She married an old girl, but it was a blessing in disguise, and she married into the Ningguo Mansion and became the grandma who ran the family. She severely slapped the relatives who said that her daughter was too old to marry.What about the stepmother?Her husband is a third-class Wei Lie general, and once her daughter marries, she will be granted the title of a third-rank gentleman. When it comes to honor and dignity, who can do it when you look at the entire You family?

As for those who complained that he didn't have a son, You Chongyi didn't pay much attention to them.If you have a son, you should raise one who is useful. If a son is not useful, then you are not as good as a daughter!The reason why he went to such great lengths to marry Mrs. Zheng was because she was young and beautiful, and she would be able to bear children in the future; That's why she forced Xiuying to change her surname; if Mrs. Zheng brought a son, he might not be willing to marry her; this third point, of course, is because of Mrs. Zheng's money and the Zheng family behind her; In his opinion, the Zheng family is like a cash cow, and will provide him with endless financial help.

At his age and status, if he wanted to marry a rich and powerful family's big-time daughter, he wouldn't want to marry him!If he married a young man alone, it would not benefit his career or financial resources, so a widow like Zheng's was his best choice.

Even though he knew that Xiuying was just flattering himself, You Chongyi was especially helpful.Apart from being happy, he was even more thankful that he forced Xiuying to recognize his father.This little girl is very well-behaved, bold and careful, and has such an old-fashioned vigor that can change her face, he couldn't help but say in his heart that it was a fluke, and he didn't know what kind of man was able to subdue her in the future.However, it is conceivable that the man she can fall in love with must not be an ordinary man. At that time, he will get another noble son-in-law for nothing.

Thinking of this, You Chongyi was in a good mood, "There is no need to say anything. After your mother and I get married, you will have three sisters. When the time comes, you will support each other, honor your family, and honor your mother and me. That's enough."

Xuan Ying immediately stood up and bowed politely, "Father taught me well, my daughter knows."

Mrs. Zheng was stunned to the side, looking at these two people, at one moment they were tit-for-tat, and at the other moment they were courteous and polite, laughing at Yan Yan. They were like enemies when meeting each other, as if they were about to fight to the death, and in the blink of an eye, they were kissing each other. After becoming a father and daughter, she couldn't understand how, and felt like a fool for a while.

She thought for a while, the two of them were at loggerheads at first, and they managed to calm down a little bit, and she had to say something to amuse her, but she racked her brains and couldn't think of what to say, because Xuanying saw it She was troubled, and said with a smile, "After my mother remarries, she must also abide by women's morals, correct her family style, not admire glory, not be greedy for wealth, and live a good life with her father. You must do it!"

You Chongyi glanced at Xuying appreciatively, and then looked at Zheng Shi with a smile.Mrs. Zheng was immediately annoyed, "Children, what do you know? This is a woman's duty. Not only myself, didn't I teach you and your sister the same way before? Doesn't it make sense?"

Xuan Ying smiled without saying a word.Zheng Shi is obviously a person who fails to recognize herself. She often insists on being brave verbally, thinking that she can do everything, but in fact there are few things she can persist in accomplishing.For example, if she doesn't admire wealth, obviously she can't do it.If she could stick to the door after You Chongyi's death and not covet and cling to the Jia family, her two daughters would not be trapped in the devil's lair and disappear.But at this point, Xuanying can only take one step forward.Although one's identity still cannot be changed, owning one's own private property is the first step towards changing one's destiny.

The second step, of course, is to find someone who will be able to establish a family.But at the current stage, of course, she couldn't just find a man for herself.Therefore, her plan is still to go to Suiyang to pick up her concubine brother.As for changing the surname, she didn't take it seriously at all; at this time, men and married strong women are only on the household register, so changing the surname is also a matter of changing the name, not like a boy, but also Worshiping the ancestral hall and entering the genealogy, what should she do, and what must she do.

Then, the newly formed family discussed the matter of buying a house.Because there is a rule in the imperial court that all officials who are officials are not allowed to buy land and houses in the place where they see their posts. If they violate it, they will be dismissed and the fields and houses will become officials. Therefore, the house I bought now cannot be recorded in You Chongyi's account at all. Under the name, this is what Xiu Ying only found out when she bought and inspected the house during this period of time, and it was also one of the reasons why she insisted on buying a house. With this house, even if Zheng's money was schemed by him, he would at least keep something.

The house was still bought in Zheng's name, and Zheng gave it to Xiuying in the form of a gift and lien.This is also in line with the requirements of the imperial court on buying and selling houses. To pawn, sell, and rely on the property, first ask the house-in-law, and the house-in-law does not want it, and then ask the neighbors.The last time Zheng sold a house, it was customary to ask her mother-in-law Xu and the concubine what they wanted, but at that time, the old and the young were not up to the task, so she let her sell it to others.

After discussing for a while, Mrs. Zheng took out the silver and prepared to go to the yamen with Xiuying to pay money and press fingerprints in exchange for a document.You Chongyi sat there again, and asked Xuanying how many words he knew and what books he usually read, because he was the prime minister of Si Nong Temple, so Xiuying told him some strange things about the agricultural season, the lunar calendar, tidal celestial bodies, and the products of various places. , You Chongyi listened with gusto and praised endlessly, while Mrs. Zheng hurriedly made fun of it, "I only said to the sun that if my sister Ying was a man, she might not be able to be the butcher of an official. It's a pity that she is a daughter!"

You Chongyi and Xuan Ying both laughed.When it was busy, I heard the voice of Lu's mother outside saying, "Madam, the eldest girl is back!"

Zheng smiled and went to open the door, and Xiuxiu came in cautiously, and was stunned when she saw the three of them talking and laughing at Yanyan in the room.Xu Ying smiled and winked at her, "Sister, why don't you come to meet your father?"

Xuanxiu felt baffled, so she shrank at the door for a while, not daring to come in.You Chongyi was already in a good mood, and when he saw that Xiuxiu was also beautiful, he became more and more cheerful, "Don't be afraid, big girl. From now on, we will be a family, and you sisters, I will only be my own. Although I dare not say Give your mother and daughter wealth and honor, but it can also keep you safe and prosperous for the rest of your life, and you will not be bullied."

Xuanxiu felt panicked, looked at her mother, then at her younger sister, seeing both of them smiling and nodding to her, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose.She is a weak and independent person, and her mother and sister are happy, so what room does she have to comment?

Immediately, she moved lightly with lotus steps, walked over, bowed down to You Chongyi, and she also called out in a low voice, "Father..."

"Okay, okay!" You Chongyi looked at the three women in the room and smiled heartily.
