Quickly wear the born bad seed

Chapter 137 The old lady of the Hou Mansion
The children in the family are also very obedient and study with their husband. The girls are not idle either. Linlang specially invited a nanny for them, and also specially invited a husband to come back and let them study with them.

In ancient times, girls were too harsh on girls. Linlang did not expect these girls to have much potential. She only hoped that they would be safe and healthy. At least it would ensure that they had a better life in their parents' families and that they would have their own lives even if they got married. confidence.

Spring passed and autumn came, and many things happened in this year. First of all, the boss was promoted from the seventh level to the sixth level because of the development of the crossbow. Although he only advanced one level, and the junior officials of the sixth level did not get anything. It was necessary to take action, but at least the emperor knew about this matter, and it was considered familiar to the emperor.

Although the Hou Mansion was involved in things that should not have been involved, since the Hou Mansion had been defeated a long time ago, there was nothing they could do with it. This is why they only ransacked the house and did not behead their heads. Although the Emperor did not want to see these things He is an opportunistic noble, but he still has a good attitude towards those who do practical things.

The second child is more promising. He has made great achievements in the frontier and has directly become a sixth-grade guerrilla general. Although he is not popular in the capital, he is still a prominent figure in the frontier.

Although the third child's antique business has not grown big, he has accumulated a lot of popularity and even made many connections through antiques. Each of the three children has developed in its own way, at least not as inactive as before.

The three daughters-in-law have also changed a lot. The eldest daughter-in-law no longer stays at home all day like before. Instead, she has fully taken on the responsibility of being the eldest sister-in-law, helping to run the house and even learned to be thrifty. Linlang's jaw almost dropped when she was in charge of the house. Finally, she asked her why, oh, it turned out that several of the children in the family were old, and it was time to prepare dowries and betrothal gifts for them, but the family didn't have much money, so I just thought of a way to be diligent and frugal in running a household!

It seems that some people still have to push her, because if you don't push her, you will never know how much potential she has!

The second daughter-in-law teamed up with the servants in the house and discussed with the third daughter-in-law. The two of them set up an embroidery workshop. Since they have a keen eye for newer styles, the cloth and clothes they make are very easy to sell. .

The eldest grandson passed away in the fall. He originally just wanted to try and gain some experience, but unexpectedly he passed the exam and became a veritable scholar!

Linlang was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Although the scholar's merit was nothing to a wealthy family, this was the first person in their family to obtain the title of scholar through their own hard work, and it also meant that the Lin family was a military general. The aristocratic family turned into a scholarly family.

There is a more urgent matter that needs to be solved at the moment. Although the husband taught him well, the eldest grandson is obviously not suitable to continue studying with his younger brothers. Linlang risked his face and found another one from his dowry. He used the ancient paintings passed down from the previous dynasty and asked someone to find connections to send his eldest grandson to Zhuxi Academy.

The eldest lady burst into tears when she thought of her son going to study so far away. Although she was reluctant to leave, the eldest lady also understood that this was for her son's good. "You must write frequently after you go there, and don't hide anything you encounter when you come back. Your grandpa has a cousin who is also studying in the academy. I have already written to him to ask him to help take care of you! "

The eldest grandson nodded obediently. Ever since the Marquis's house was confiscated, his mother had rarely mentioned anything about his maternal family. If it hadn't been for the fact that he was going to the academy to study, he probably wouldn't have contacted his maternal family!
After sending away her eldest grandson, although the eldest lady was sad, she quickly cheered up and devoted herself to the following social activities. Yes, her eldest daughter was not young anymore, and it was time to have a good marriage. .

After Linlang learned about this, she almost spit out the tea in her mouth. If my dear, I remember correctly, my eldest granddaughter is only twelve years old this year. It would be too early to say goodbye so early. !
"Mother-in-law, people from wealthy families all come so early, otherwise good families would have been given away by others!" The eldest lady said while planning her daughter's dowry, "Some things must be prepared in advance, the dowry belongs to the woman. Have confidence, the more dowry, the less the children will have to suffer!”

"Having said that, if some families are interested in dowry, they must not be good families. I know you feel sorry for your daughter, but the child is too young, and our family's current situation is undecided. Let's wait until some time later!" Linlang was still ready to push back, "Don't worry about the children. I have a few old sisters who have several children at home. It's just that our family has a low status now, so we really can't rush to talk about marriage. Wait. Now that the eldest and second child are out, there is no need to worry about the child’s marriage!”

A trace of hesitation flashed across the face of the eldest lady, but she thought that her mother-in-law was a young lady from an honorable family, and she had been married to her father-in-law for so many years, and there were many people buying from her, so she gave up her thoughts and left all the matters to her. Mother-in-law handles it!
Linlang is indeed preparing dowries for several children. Although there have been many signs in the family over the years, as the children grow up, there are more places to spend money, and the eldest and second children need someone to take care of them. , this is where the bulk of the money is spent.

Linlang was now spending a penny in half. If she wasn't afraid that taking out the glass prescription would be too eye-catching, she would have wanted to take out the glass now and make a lot of money from her.

The third child also knew the difficulties at home, so he discussed it with his wife and took out 30,000 taels of silver. Linlang was so frightened that he thought his son had gone to rob the bank.

"Although the business of the pawn shop seems to be average, those items are the most profitable. For example, some antiques are cheap when they are bought, but they are doubled when sold. They are the kind that are not usually open. It has been open for three years!” The third child also made a lot of money, and originally wanted to use the money to invest in other businesses, but now that the family is spending money, he can’t just focus on himself.

Linlang looked at the third child, her eyes immediately turned red, "My child, you are sensible now!"

The third child is the fastest growing among the children, because the most favored child in the past has always been self-centered, but I didn’t expect that the third child has never been ambiguous in major matters. At least since the house confiscation in the Hou Mansion, the third child has not given any advice. There was trouble in the family, and even if he wanted to take a concubine later, it was at most a personal matter caused by himself, and he never implicated the Hou family in it. This child... really has a sense of the overall situation!
Linlang accepted the money, but he didn't ask the third child for it. He just asked to borrow it and wrote an IOU himself. Then he used the money to buy hundreds of acres of land in the Jiangnan area and around the capital. There are three or four small villages, although most of them are mountainous and have cheap low-grade fields, but they have many uses. The mountainous areas can be used to grow fruit trees, and the lower fields can also grow some soybeans, corns, and even sweet potatoes, and then grow things. Winemaking.
