The Historian of the Red Chamber has a daughter

Mrs. Shi looked out of the window, and suddenly sighed, "You said Yun girl has lived in Jia's house for ten days, why hasn't she come back? That Miss Lin is so nice? It makes her want to leave!"

Dong Zhi and Gu Yu looked at each other, then smiled, Gu Yu was better, she was promoted from the second class maid after Li Chun was assigned to Shi Xiangyun, so naturally she did not have the confidence of Dong Zhi.

Winter Solstice smiled and said: "When the eldest girl is here, the old lady always thinks that people talk too much. As soon as the eldest girl leaves, the old lady thinks about it. Don't worry, the old lady. The carriage and horses to pick up the eldest girl have already gone to Jia's house. It's time for the eldest girl to come back!"

Old Mrs. Shi was unhappy, "I don't miss her, it's Miss Lan and Girl Xue who talk about her all day long!"

Dong Zhi pursed his lips and smiled, deciding not to expose the duplicity of the old lady.

When Shi Xiangyun arrived at the door, he jumped out of the carriage without waiting for Lichun to help her, and then ran to the mansion, which surprised Lichun who was following, "My little ancestor, you should slow down! ! Beware of stumbling!"

Shi Xiangyun ran all the way to Chunhui Hall, shouting, "Grandma, grandma, I'm back!" To be honest, she really misses the old lady a little after being away from home for so long.Although the old lady has various problems, favors the second uncle's family, and is even suspected of treating her parents harshly, but now, she is the only one who sincerely treats Shi Xiangyun well.In the past few years of getting along, her love for Shi Xiangyun is also true.Shi Xiangyun is not a hard-hearted person, so he is naturally grateful for her love.

Mrs. Shi blinked, doubting her ears, "Winter Solstice, did I hear wrong? Why did I hear Yun girl's voice? Didn't you say she came back at noon?"

"Grandmother, I'm back, do you miss me?" Shi Xiangyun's voice came all the way from the door, without Dongzhi answering, the old lady knew that she was not hallucinating, it was Yun girl who really came back!

Shi Xiangyun rushed into Mrs. Shi's arms like a small cannonball, and Mrs. Shi was hit straight. Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun restrained his strength so that the old lady did not feel pain.

Mrs. Shi felt sour in her eyes, it must be because the tea just now was too hot, and her eyes hurt from the smoke, so she refused to admit that she missed this crazy girl!

"Hehehe, grandma, do you miss me? I miss grandma!" Shi Xiangyun hugged Mrs. Shi's waist coquettishly.

"You heartless stinking girl! The Jia family is so nice that you won't even go home?" Mrs. Shi said angrily as she hammered Shi Xiangyun a few times.

Shi Xiangyun grinned and didn't dodge or dodge, anyway, the old lady was reluctant to hit her, and that strength might as well be said to be hitting her with ashes!

Mammy Wei came in with Lichun Xiaohan, kowtowed to the old lady, and then went to pack her things. Shi Xiangyun leaned into the old lady's arms and told about Lin Daiyu giving her the bank note. Old lady Shi nodded, "Indeed A sensible and kind person, not like her mother!"

Shi Xiangyun seemed a little dissatisfied with Jia Min when he heard the old lady's words, and asked in surprise, "Doesn't the old lady like Aunt Lin?"

The old lady snorted and laughed, "If it weren't for Aunt Lin, your elder sister Lin would probably have several brothers now! From this point of view, she and her mother are really in the same line! In the Jia family, except for Jia She and Jia Zheng , Jia Min, there are a few daughters of the concubine, but none of the sons of the concubine! Who would believe you if you said that there is no Shi Wan's tricks in it! The Lin family is also! Although the Lin family has always had few children, there are always sons to inherit. It’s good to have only one daughter in this generation. Although I had a son born to my concubine before, it’s gone before the age of three! Do you really think Jia Min’s hands are clean?”

Shi Xiangyun thinks about it too, if the concubine is alive, Lin Daiyu, as the concubine's daughter, can get limited family property, but if the concubine dies, Lin Daiyu, as the only heir of the Lin family, will get a lot of property!Shi Xiangyun suddenly thought of this possibility again, could there be Jia Mu's tricks in it!After all, the Jia family is just an empty shell now, unlike the Lin family, which is a treasure mountain. If the Lin family has no heirs, only Lin Daiyu, then all the Lin family's property will become Lin Daiyu's dowry, and it will still be in the Jia family's pocket!

However, Shi Xiangyun suddenly thought of his family's situation, which was no different from Jia's. The only difference was that the Shi family didn't even have a daughter, but only three legitimate sons. Could it be his grandmother's contribution to this?

Shi Xiangyun looked at the old lady and laughed. The old lady saw what she was thinking, and tapped her on the head lightly, "Our family is different! Your grandfather was from the army and has been fighting all the year round. You don't need to be Rong Guogong, he was injured. I have a job at home. That's why there are only three historians, your father and uncle."

Shi Xiangyun held the place where he was beaten and laughed, "Grandmother is really insightful, you know what I'm thinking without telling you, it's amazing!"

Mrs. Shi glanced at her lightly, "You were raised by me, how can I not know you!"

Shi Xiangyun had an innocent smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart, you really don't know me.

"Since you like that Sister Lin, and she's pretty good, it doesn't hurt to get in touch with her more in the future. But, it's better for you not to provoke that Baoyu." Mrs. Shi said lightly, "Don't worry, since your father will You entrusted it to me, and grandma will definitely arrange everything for you. In this way, it is worthy of our mother-child relationship!" The old lady's last words were so soft that they could hardly be heard.But Shi Xiangyun still heard it.

She lay in the arms of the old lady, did not speak, but felt sad for her parents in her heart!If you arrange me well, will you be worthy of your mother-child relationship?What about my father's grievances?That's all?She is not a serious ancient person, and she has a very weak sense of family in her bones.So although she understood Mrs. Shi's approach, she still couldn't agree with it.

But right now, she has no ability to protect herself, and she must rely on the protection of the old lady if she wants to live.

That night, Shi Nai and Shi Nai's brothers and sisters all gathered in the old lady's house, and everyone had dinner with He Lele.After the meal, the servant girl brought tea, Mrs. Shi sat on the couch crookedly, Shi Ziren sat beside her, and Shi Xiangyun and his two younger sisters sat in the imperial concubine's couch, holding a copy of "Historical Records" and seriously reading to them .

Shi Nai and his wife and Shi Nai and his wife sat below respectively, coaxing the old lady with cups of tea.

Mrs. Shi just felt extremely relieved.She glanced at the children who were playing, and suddenly said, "Second brother, do you still remember that your father owed the household department 80 taels of silver when he was alive?"

Shi Nai suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Of course he remembered that before his father died, he held his elder brother's hand to ask his elder brother to remember to return the money from the household department. He and his third brother were beside him at that time.But, mother, what does it mean to mention this matter at this time?

"Old lady, what do you mean?" Shi Wei asked straight away.

Mrs. Shi smiled faintly, "Since your father gave an order before he died, we should follow it. Originally, your eldest brother had already discussed with me. He will pay half of the 80 taels, and you will pay the rest. But now that your eldest brother is gone, then the money should be paid by the two of you."

Shi Wang covered his mouth in surprise, 80 taels, even if the two were shared equally, it would cost 40 taels per person, where did his family get so much money now!The little savings I had back then were all spent for my husband's title, but now the public account only has less than 10 taels of silver, even if I add my own dowry, it's not enough!

Shi Nai also frowned, "Old lady, our family is not the only one who owes the Ministry of Accounts money, why should the historian take the lead? A tree is as beautiful as a forest, and the wind will destroy it."

Mrs. Shi glanced at him, "I have my own intentions. Now seeing that our Shi family has a family of two princes, it is extremely prominent, but why do I feel that there is a feeling of being in a high place. The four princes and eight princes are all leaving. Downhill, our family has two princes! Or, do you think those things about our family are not known now?"

Shi Nai's face turned ashen all of a sudden!The death of the eldest brother is still a thorn in his heart!Although he doesn't regret doing this, even if he does it again, he will still choose to do it!He is also an illegitimate son, talented in literature and martial arts, and he is not inferior to his eldest brother at all. Why can the elder brother inherit the title because of his status as the eldest son, but he can't!It's just that, after all, he was not in the right place, so he felt a little guilty, and he was busy, just for the sake of being more righteous.

"Your elder brother is not here now, so let me give his share! Although my dowry was not rich, but over the years, your father has also bought me a lot of property. You are still the same, a family of 20 taels, I gathered all the ideas, and then quietly sent them to the household department. Remember, don’t say anything!” Mrs. Shi looked at the two daughters-in-law who were displeased, and sighed inwardly, what are the two daughter-in-laws? All good, but a little petty. "I know that after the money is handed over, your two families will definitely struggle. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. We have big heads and big hats! Our historians were originally from the martial arts family, so we can't learn the red tape of those literati. If it’s not open source, it’s good to save a little money.”

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the two sons and daughter-in-law, the old lady finally said, "Perhaps if the money is handed over, the family of the Shi family may become a reality!"

Shi Nai and Shi Nai's eyes widened all of a sudden. They were convinced by the old lady's words. The facts of so many years have proved that the old lady's eyesight is not fake. The Shi family survived smoothly, which made the Shi family not continue to decline like other families after the death of their father.

"Yes, my son will remember what the old lady said. Let's go back and prepare!" Shi Nai and Shi Nai brothers stood up and promised regardless of his wife's expression.

"En! You guys go down! Tell me when you have collected all the money! I have almost prepared here." The old lady said calmly. In fact, since the old man passed away, she has been secretly Sell ​​the dowry and convert it into cash, just wait for today.

Shi Nai and Shi Nai brothers were shocked, it turned out that the old lady had started preparations so early.When I went back, I followed the same pattern and began to sell the farm and shop to collect money to pay off the debt.
