Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 73 Mother and Daughter ([-])

Fang Baochan asked: "Mother, does grandma have no private money?"

"Your grandmother... well, your grandmother has a lot of silver, but she has a bad temper! Everything pays attention to a bowl of water. If she gives me something, she will definitely have another copy for your second aunt. Sometimes even your aunt I also have a share, Wenhui lives in the Hou's mansion, so I have to give her some, so we will lose a lot? But your second aunt is a fussy person, and she often suspects that I have gained more benefits from my mother. Your natal family is always reluctant and chattering, which made your grandmother get impatient, and secretly gave her a lot of gold and silver! Think I don’t know, huh! Look at Wenhui now, she looks exactly like her mother You always keep an eye on your grandmother and me, lest I get something good from Anhetang!"

Fang Baochan pouted: "Wenhui is also a petty ghost!"

"Wen Hui, that girl is not only petty, she is also shrewd! The old lady originally wanted to kiss more, but she twisted it herself, but she finally got it right. It's a pity that Ah Yan has Wang Yaozhen in her heart, and the old lady didn't have that kind of thought. I'm happy to arrange the marriage of the Peng family for her!"

Fang Baochan pursed her lips and smiled: "I told her a long time ago: Cousin Yan doesn't live long! So that girl is afraid and dare not get close to Cousin Yan, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Fang Zheng glared at her: "You are unlucky. You have a bright future in your hands, but you push it away! Let Wen Hui pick it up and make you cry to death!"

Fang Baochan raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "I'm not sure right now, I can't see the good or the bad, but I'd rather let others take advantage of Cousin Yan than let Wenhui take it! Mother and Second Aunt are both grandmothers. My dear, don't say that she will distribute some of her body to you two daughters in a hundred years, so what if she gives you more now? Isn't it hard for you to serve your grandmother for so many years? Why doesn't she come? What I can't stand the most is my second aunt, who is jealous and jealous, and who is good at her own family, she wants to imitate us and send Wenhui and Wenyuan to live in the Hou's mansion. Wenhui girl looks cute on the outside, but she is not a good person on the inside If we let her marry Cousin Yan and get the wealth of the Hou Mansion, what benefits can our mothers gain?"

Mrs. Fang Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "That's not it! Back then, your grandmother was trembling and looked around for expert divination and fortune-telling. After all the calculations, she said that your cousin Yan's life is short, and he won't live long. I'm afraid that even the children will be left behind." If you don’t come down, this matter is kept a secret. Only you and your second aunt heard it. After I fell out with your father, I took your siblings back to the Hou Mansion. Your second aunt saw me and thought I had something wrong. Conspiracy, and hastily sent a pair of children here... It can be seen what kind of heart she has, she is not a good person!"

Fang Baochan laughed and said, "It's because my grandmother and aunt went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha all the year round, and donated a lot of money, food, and property to help the poor and the poor. They have cultivated merits and virtues. Now Cousin Yan is living in peace and stability, and has inherited the title, married a daughter-in-law, and followed him. There is boundless glory around the prince... but we, next year Wenyuan will take the exam, whether he passes the exam or not, Cousin Yan will take care of him, I just wonder what will happen to Baozhang in the future?"

"Don't worry about this. Your grandmother spoke in front of your aunt and cousin Yan, saying that she pity me for being unkind. When I get old, I have nothing to rely on. Let your aunt and cousin Yan take care of me in the future. You Yan My cousin told me at the time: how he is taking care of Wenyuan’s future now, and he will treat Baozhang in the same way in the future. As for the future life of our mother and son, we only need to wait for Baozhang to get a good name in the examination and get married. Let Baozhang set up his own business in the capital—I will let you know this in advance, and don’t let Wenhui listen to it, so that your second aunt won’t think about it!"

Fang Zheng told Fang Baochan a few words, and said: "Just now you mentioned the temple, I almost forgot: two days later will be the fifteenth day, your grandmother and aunt will take Xia Yiqing to a temple outside the city to offer incense and pay off your vows, you Let's go together too, worship Buddha, and change your luck. Well, I have to go to Wang Yaozhen sometime tomorrow!"

Fang Baochan asked strangely: "Mother, what are you going to do?"

Fang Zheng smiled secretly: "Don't you want money? I couldn't get it in a hurry in the Hou's house. I borrowed it from your aunt, and I always feel short in front of her. Your grandmother has Wenhui who always stares at her. Besides, your grandmother I love Chuanggen to ask the bottom line, I can't hide the matter from her old man... let's go to Wang Yaozhen to find a solution!"

"Wang Yaozhen? She is an orphan, and the house she lives in is probably bought by my cousin Yan, what money can she have?"

"Silly girl, your cousin Yan will buy her a house, why not give her some money? I have been to her place several times at your grandmother's order, and every time I go, I only bring a few ordinary fruits, but she The gifts given to me in return are all precious! The maids in her house are all dressed in gold and silver, and the decorations in the hall and bedroom are all exquisite and valuable! Have you ever been to the Yuhui Courtyard? The room? The decorations there are all customized by your aunt. The bedroom of Mrs. Hou’s wife is naturally extremely luxurious, but Wang Yaozhen’s place is no less inferior than Yuhui Courtyard! Food and use are all precious things, bird’s nest If you don’t want to eat the porridge, you’ll let it go, and you’ll give the ginseng soup to the woman below without even frowning... See how your cousin Yan spoils her? She’s raised by thousands of dollars! Thanks to you Cousin Yan is a well-behaved, otherwise, it would not be too much for her to be Wang Yaozhen's concubine! When I went there years ago, I only mentioned that I would go back to my hometown for the New Year, and she immediately asked the maid next to me to give me 2000 taels of silver , said that during the filial piety period, you are not allowed to go out at will, and you can't make a special trip to prepare new year's goods for me. These silver coins are entitled to be used as travel expenses to send to my house... I didn't ask for her bank notes at the time, but I saw the girl sorting out a thick bag in the box. You can give me [-] yuan as soon as you sell the banknotes, and there can be tens of thousands! I will just send her a letter tomorrow and find an excuse. She wants to marry your cousin and wants to go crazy. , now is the time to try to curry favor, can you not give it? Your cousin Yan gave her the money on the left and right, don't want it for nothing!"

Fang Baochan was silently in a daze, before he sighed for a while and said: "Mother, Cousin Yan is so generous in raising a concubine, the honor and wealth of the Hou Mansion, our mother and I are so hard to separate!"

Fang Zheng glanced at her daughter, and said resignedly, "Who told us that we are married girls? Let's dawdle slowly, while your grandmother is still alive, we can win as much as you can! Then Wang Yaozhen, she is not a grandma. Mother can see clearly that she is still a girl, and your cousin Yan is sincere to her, so he is bound to marry her. She also said that even if you are a concubine, you have to enter the family first, and then plan! Maybe, in the future, this The house is made by her! Wang Yaozhen looks weak, but in fact she is shrewd. Like Xia Yiqing, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there must be a fight when she comes in! But there are only those four or five people. She needs to curry favor with the servants, and we can get some benefits from her. The harder the two of them fight, the better, but there must be a conclusion in the end. No matter who wins in the end, we will live in the Hou Mansion Don't be safe, Baozhang should have already married at that time, so don't be afraid of her, take what we deserve, and let us live a happy life for mother and child!"
