reborn child bride

Chapter 166 New Year's Eve (1) ([-])
Children agree with this statement very much. It is rare for them to get as much lucky money as five taels of silver at once.Even the children of the second house and the second wife are very strict in order not to reveal their wealth, let alone the other houses.

Wei Bo jokingly told his mother that he also had to study hard, strive for the high school Jinshi in that subject three years later, and earn 1 taels of silver from his grandfather to get married.The Fourth Madam laughed lowly: "You silly child, you really think that the 2 taels of silver was given by your grandfather to marry your elder brother. It is the private money subsidized by his old man, yes, but it is your elder brother's own money , it was just stolen by the second room."

"Ok?"

The Fourth Madam touched Ai'er's head, "Your eldest brother suffered the most from the money, and all of our houses also suffered. Your grandfather is paralyzed and helpless. In addition, he is devoted to favoring the son-in-law, so your second uncle and aunt will take the father's house. All the money has gone into his own pocket. Look, if we want to separate the family at that time, there must be no money in the public account. Needless to say, the second room has already made a lot of money, and the third room follows them and wags its tail If you think about it, you can get a share of the pie. Qifang has a magistrate, and he can't stand poverty. If it is distributed to other houses, he can only starve to death. I don't expect that for my mother, as long as you live up to it. , A good man doesn’t look at his grandparents. Not many people in this big family understand this.”

Xiao Bai couldn't hide the shock on his face. As a descendant of the direct branch, although his father is not a direct descendant, but he is, so he has always lived a fairly well-to-do life.But after listening to Niang's analysis, wouldn't the family be hollowed out long ago?

"Do you all know about this?"

"Your grandfather must have known about it, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law must also know it. I guess your fifth and sixth aunts have suspicions in their hearts, but they just can't find out. Your fifteenth uncle probably doesn't care about anything."

Xiao Bai whispered: "It is said outside that elder brother and sister-in-law are generous, all because of getting the [-] taels and getting back... the dowry."

"It's someone else's own money. It's naturally generous to give it away. It's much better than the person who swallowed other people's money and still picks it up. I think this grandma did it on purpose. The old house's water It's already very messy, but in her position, she needs to mess up even more. I can tell that although she is young, she has a lot of ambition. She must pull your second aunt from the position of the patriarch's wife I came down today. I came here today, and I watched her conversation. She really doesn’t look like a girl bought back from childhood. No wonder people like your elder brother fall in love with her. The last time I came back, I must marry her. From the point of view of gift giving , can actually be sent to everyone's heart, this alone shows that she is not simple."

In Xiao Bai's mind, Shen Ji's face of happiness and anger appeared, and then he blushed, and quickly stopped his thoughts.That's my sister-in-law, so I can't think about it randomly.

The fourth lady smiled, "At your age, there should be someone by your side. It's just that the mother is worried that if you are distracted, there will be no arrangements. Your elder brother got married only after he became a Jinshi. Don't worry. There will be good things in the future." Come to match you."

"My son knows it, so he must study hard with his husband. In the future, the son will earn his mother's order and come back."

"You can ask your elder brother for any academic matters. He also needs a brother to help. As long as you make progress, he will support you. But if he wants you to do something, you should come back and tell your mother first."

"Ok?"

"There must be a vicious fight between the first room and the second room. Little fifteen must be helping the first room. The seventh room has already chosen to avoid it. The third room will naturally follow the second room. The fifth room and the sixth room wish they could fight as hard as possible. Okay. Benefit from it. Our fourth room also needs to have an attitude."

"Didn't Mother say not to get involved in family affairs?"

"It was a mess before, so of course it's good to stay out of it. The big deal is to take out my dowry money and spend it on your father, son, brother and sister. But now that the long house has gradually become a climate, the Wei family has hope of prosperity again. As Wei Children of the clan, naturally you can no longer stay out of the matter. Alas, back then your maternal grandfather was the famous Mu Wei family who promised to marry your mother. But within a few years, your grandfather fell from a horse and was paralyzed, and your uncle died of illness. These two pillars were broken. The situation at home is getting worse every year. Your father has no hope in the imperial examination and is not good at common affairs, so the mother can only ignore the right and wrong of the family and urge you to study and make progress behind closed doors. Now that the family has a chance of revival, you should be a Participation. You are now a student, and my mother doesn't have to ask you to be in the first class like the big brother, as long as you can enter the second class, the mother's ten years of hard work will not be in vain."

"I know, mother."

For Shen Ji's lunch at Lixiangyuan, she declined all the leftovers, and returned to eat in the big kitchen.The food is still warm, explaining that there are not enough people who are busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.A Ling and the others didn't say anything after receiving the meal, they took it to the small kitchen and reheated it to make do with it. Shen Ji and Wei Ying sent the meal made in a casserole.After eating, A Ling murmured, "It's enough to let us know if we don't have enough manpower, and we can't send someone to pick it up. I'm only willing to let people eat cold food."

Wan Cui said with a smile: "Then if something goes wrong at the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, it's not all the fault of those of us who went to pick it up." Maybe they are waiting for you to say this.

"Hmph, I'll go see if grandpa and grandma have finished eating."

Wei Ying took a mouthful of food, swallowed and muttered, "I really want to sacrifice my ancestors and go home."

"This is not your house, be careful if people hear it." Shen Ji chewed the beef jerky.

"The last time I came back, I felt that it was not the same. It doesn't look like I remember."

"Mother Gu has already chatted with a few aunts. They heard that we gave them the house deed, and they all expressed their willingness to move. They just said a few words that the boys and girls in the family are older. I think they can buy a little bigger one to live in. It’s fine. Anyway, since you have to pay for it, it’s better to make things more beautiful.”

"You make up your mind."

"At that time, Lixiangyuan will be able to return to the courtyard with the best scenery in the past, and become the same as when you lived here when you were a child." Shen Ji thought about it, this courtyard was originally the best scenery in the old house, why didn't the second room move here ?It's just that they don't want to move, the third child was adopted by Wei Ying's parents, why didn't he move here?Thinking about it, I just did something bad and didn't dare to move here.

After dinner, Wei Ying and Shen Ji took a nap. They were going to watch the New Year's Eve at night, and they didn't know what time it would be.At this moment, anyone who can seize the opportunity to sleep is probably sleeping.When it was Shen Shi, she was called up, and Mama Gu and Wan Cui joined hands to dress her up.Shen Ji's hair has been well maintained since Mrs. Wei let her eat black sesame seeds, and she eats it from time to time.Every time Wan Cui touched it, it felt as smooth as silk, and she thought to herself, no wonder the master likes to touch it.What I like most is to take out the hairpin that my grandma used to tie her hair at night, and watch the black hair fall down, and then he slowly follows it.
