Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Jiang Ning frowned in thought, "I'm not against buying people, it's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I don't know what I'm doing!"

"This matter is easy to handle! Butler Zhu and Zhu San were left to our family by Mr. Huang. They have their own skills in selecting servants. I can write to Afeng and ask him to help or teach him some experience. , at worst, just send him the money." Yang Erdan had made up his mind to buy Jiang Ning a few people to serve him.

Seeing his insistence, Jiang Ning had no choice but to agree, "Since you want to buy it, let's just buy some maids and women. Remember, our family only needs those who are honest and decent in appearance. Don't bring the enchanting ones to our family. .”

She didn't want to test the determination of her sons.

Yang Erdan wrote them down one by one, and along the way, the brothers took into account all the people the family needed and asked Yang Erdan to tell Tian Feng.

Xu Nuoyan stayed at Yang's house until the afternoon before returning to Songxi Town.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her coming back, she immediately asked about the situation.

Xu Nuoyan didn't hide anything from her, he just told her.

Madam Zhou was stunned for a while after hearing this, "My dear! Uncle Guang En was just like me at the time, no, even worse than me. I heard that they were penniless and didn't even have a place to stay when they separated. , how long did it take to save so much wealth! People who have worked hard for generations may not necessarily have so much wealth, and I am really convinced now!"

Mrs. Zhou said as she looked at Xu Nuoyan, her eyes full of relief, "I have suffered so much for you these years! Now that you can marry into such a family, I really have nothing to worry about! From now on, you can keep the money you earn by yourself. No need to give it to me!”

Xu Nuoyan looked at Madam Zhou suddenly, "Auntie?"

Madam Zhou gave her a reassuring look, "Listen to me, you know the money at home. There are still more than sixty taels left of the family property your father left behind. I have also saved fifteen taels over the years. You In just a few months after going to Fucheng, I earned another thirty taels, which totaled more than a hundred taels.

Originally, I was thinking of giving you thirty taels of silver as a dowry, but who knew that an extra fifty taels of silver would be used as a dowry later on. If you don’t want to take these thirty taels, forget it. Don’t give them to me in the future. Take a look. Uncle Guang En's eldest daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law's family is not as rich as me, and they don't provide subsidies to her mother-in-law's family. I can't let my husband's family look down upon me if I get married. "

Xu Nuoyan bit her lip and nodded silently. It was because of this concern that she had been reluctant to say kiss before, but she didn't expect that Aniang would bring it up to her so straightforwardly now.

Seeing that Xu Nuoyan was in a low mood, Mrs. Zhou chuckled and patted her shoulder, "You don't have to worry about me and your eldest brother. We have already discussed it before. From now on, he will concentrate on studying in the academy, copying books and practicing calligraphy in his free time. I have enough money for daily use, and it is close to the sea. I can go to the sea, or collect fish for others to sell, and I can make some money."

"How can that little money be enough?" Xu Nuoyan's tears fell one by one, and she was worried.

Madam Zhou's comfort was pale and weak to her.

When Xu Nuoshan came back from the academy that night, Mrs. Zhou told him the situation and asked him to comfort his sister.

Xu Nuoshan thought of what happened today, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, "Little sister, if it doesn't work out, I will get married and marry that young lady from the Zhao family, so that our family won't have to worry about running out of money."

Xu Nuoyan and Mrs. Zhou were shocked.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Zhou angrily gave her son a clue.

Xu Nuoshan covered his head in pain and said aggrievedly: "Today, member Zhao went to the academy to look for me. He gave me a gift out of nowhere. He also said that he had set up a banquet for our family and apologized for how Miss Zhao offended us last time. I I didn’t know how to refuse, so I just said I’d come back and ask my mother-in-law what she meant. Just now, the flower shopkeeper stopped me downstairs. He was well-informed and told me that Zhao Yuanwai came to me specifically because he wanted to marry his daughter to me.”

Madam Zhou was shocked and hurried out to ask the flower shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Hua kindly reminded them because Xu Nuoshan and Hua Yongnian were classmates, and Xu Nuoshan's sister was about to marry into the Yang family. Seeing that they were so panicked, he had to put down what he was doing and go over to tell them. said.

"When Mrs. Jiang was given the title of Madame Maternal Ceremony by the Emperor, Yuan Wai Zhao originally wanted to marry the Yang family. However, the Yang family had a poor family background and Miss Zhao looked down on the Yang family. In addition, the eldest son of the Yang family was already married, so she could marry It can only be the second son, and the second son did not enter the school.

In short, Miss Zhao and Mrs. Zhao didn't like the Yang family, so Yuan Zhao had no choice but to let them do what they wanted.

Now that Mrs. Muyi has become Uncle Guang En, the first one in our Quzhou Prefecture, even the prefect can't compare with her. Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao began to regret it. I heard that they were making trouble at home every day, and Miss Zhao even said that it was Young Master Yang who didn't do it. Marry, but as soon as these words were spoken, the news came out that Young Master Yang was engaged.

Now Zhao Yuanwai had no choice. He didn't want to offend the Yang family and wanted to embrace the Yang family's lap. So he was thinking about Xu Xiucai! After all, Xu Xiucai was admitted as a scholar at a young age and has a bright future. His sister is Guang Enbo's prospective daughter-in-law. She will definitely be helped by the Yang family in the future.

I just want to remind you. Everyone says that Zhao Yuanwai is a great benefactor in Ping'an County, but great benevolent people also have a side that no one knows. You can see how powerful the Zhao family is when you see that the Zhao family has a great business and has been standing in Ping'an County. ! Xu Xiucai is not a scheming person, and dealing with the Zhao family would be very uncomfortable. "

Xu Nuoshan took it seriously and immediately bowed solemnly to the flower shopkeeper, "Thank you uncle for your teaching! Nuoshan will definitely stay away from the Zhao family."

Shopkeeper Hua sighed softly, "You can't be as far away as you want now. I think you have to ask the Yang family for help on this matter. Tell them the situation. If the Yang family comes forward, the Zhao family will not dare to mess around."

"Uncle is right! Brother Aniang, we will go to Rongshu Village tomorrow." Xu Nuoyan said immediately.

Early the next morning, the mother and son went to Rongshu Village.

Seeing this posture, Jiang Ning thought they were here because of yesterday's division of family property. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou knelt down as soon as she walked in front of her.

Jiang Ning was so frightened that she almost jumped up on the spot. She panicked and asked Xu Nuoyan to help Madam Zhou up, "If you have something to say, please tell me! What are you doing, mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Zhou cried while wiping her tears and told the general situation.

Jiang Ning frowned subconsciously, "People like Miss Zhao are restless. If you really marry her, your family will never have a peaceful life!"

"That's what I thought too! She looked down on us back then and wanted to take action. If she really married her, I couldn't even think about how we would live in the future! But we can't offend the Zhao family! We can only ask our mother-in-law for help! "Ms. Zhou looked at Jiang Ning with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Ning sighed and said thoughtfully: "Actually, this matter is easy to handle. There are a few ways for you to listen. The first is that the mother-in-law takes Nuo Shan to the banquet and tells the Zhao family about Nuo Shan before they say anything. Shan is engaged, but this will easily offend the Zhao family, and the other party may jump over the wall in a hurry, which is not advisable.

The second is that your mother-in-law is pretending to be ill. If you are sick and the Nuoshan brothers and sisters have to take care of the illness, you will naturally have a reason to reject the Zhao family. However, the illness cannot be too fake, as it will at least make your mother-in-law suffer some grievances.

The third is to ignore the Zhao family. Anyway, if you go to Fucheng in the future, you will not stay in Ping'an County. Outside of Ping'an County, the Zhao family is nothing. "
