Madam Hou

Chapter 115

Mrs. He went back to Danfeng Court angrily, and when she entered the inner room, she picked up a big pillow and threw it on the husband who came in behind, and said angrily: "Why do you say today that the gold and silver that the emperor rewarded you Do you know how much the land is going to the big brother's private treasury?"

5 taels of gold, 5 acres of fertile land!According to the current gold-to-silver ratio of 50:5, [-] taels of gold equals [-] taels of silver, more than ten times her dowry.And the [-] mu of fertile land, all of which are in Daxing County, which is famous for its fertile land, and the [-] mu of land are all connected together. It takes at least ten taels of silver to buy one mu of land, which is another [-] taels .With so much money, he was kicked in the head by a donkey to say that it all belongs to the big house.

Lin Fengye didn't care about the big welcome pillow that fell on the ground, he walked over to the couch and sat down, and then said: "That was originally the reward for the victory of the elder brother, and it should belong to the eldest brother's room."

He said: "So what, we don't have a separate family, so the rewards he got should naturally belong to the public."

With so much money, she will not be greedy when the family is divided in the future. Even if the three brothers share it equally, they can get as much money as one house.She was thinking about their relationship wholeheartedly, but in the end he always came to drag her back.It was also the same last time, she asked him to replace a few of her own people in the outer court, it would be more convenient to do so, but he just didn't like it.It's nice to say that he is in charge of the outer courtyard, and those who are not uncles in charge, what's the point of managing it like this.

There is also an outer courtyard to buy, let him buy from her dowry shop when buying, anyway, everything is to be bought, and the things in her shop are not more expensive than other shops, they are all for others, why not let my family make money.With so much money in and out of the outer courtyard every day, if he listened to her, the money they earned could open a few more shops.Whoever manages the yard in other people's house does not do this, but he just said that he wanted to avoid suspicion.

Lin Fengye glanced at He Shi, and then turned his eyes back.

He didn't even bother to explain to her.Sometimes he doesn't understand how He's head grows. Their first wife's situation is already embarrassing, but she has to fight with her first wife for everything.There are so many mansions in the capital, and there are a few of them that the concubine's house can compete with the concubine's house.

Not to mention that the eldest brother earned those rewards alone, there is no reason for them to get something for nothing.Just tonight, didn't he say that those rewards would go to the big house's private treasury, and they would really let their concubine's house get a share of those gold and silver fields?Even if they really returned to the public, relying on the means of the aunt and sister-in-law, there are many ways to turn them private, changing them into sacrifices to the fields, changing them into dowry, which method cannot be used.

Since he can't get it in the end, he might as well offer to put it in the big brother's private treasury in front of everyone, so that he can sell his favors, and when the family is separated in the future, he has always done his duty. For the sake of it, the elder brother may still take care of him more.What's the use of fighting with the concubine's house like He's all the time, it will only make their already weak relationship less and less.

Lin Fengye was silent for a while, and reminded He: "You are not allowed to say these things again, let alone complain in front of your mother and sister-in-law." After speaking, she stood up and walked out.

He Shi said from behind: "Hey, where are you going?"

Lin Fengye said: "I'm going to the study in the outer courtyard, I'll sleep in the study tonight, you don't have to wait for me!" Then he left the room.

He thumped the table angrily.

In the Qinghe Courtyard, the Da Tai Furen drank the medicine under the service of Luo Shi, and then leaned on the pillow at the head of the bed.

Perhaps it was due to being ill for a few days, the face of the Da Tai Madam was more haggard than before, and a few white hairs appeared on her temples. When Lin Fengzhen saw it, she didn't know how to describe her mood. She just felt very uncomfortable and lowered her head. , can hardly bear to watch anymore.

He remembered that when he was very young, he and his mother lived in this yard, the yard was always deserted and there were not many maids, only in spring when the roses were in bloom could it make people feel more lively.

He was a posthumous child, and he never knew what his father, whom his mother and sisters called Fengjun Shenwei, looked like. Even if a mother showed him the portrait, he still felt vague, as vague as a stranger.

His mother was always strict with him, and when he could handle chopsticks, he would start holding a pen.His mother always said to him: "Brother Hu, you have to work hard and fight hard, so that you can get back what we lost." I keep writing and writing from morning to night, my hands are sore and tired!
When he couldn't write well or was lazy, she would take a ruler and hit his palm one by one. He still remembers the painful feeling to this day.

From then on, he hated writing and reading. He even complained and resented his mother who persecuted him.He secretly saw the cousin who was the same age as him in the third aunt's house. He didn't need to write, and there were many maids coaxing him to play every day. When he fell and hurt, the third aunt would immediately come to hug him and comfort him softly. In the gentle eyes, it seemed that he was her most cherished baby.

He envied him very much, his mother had never hugged and coaxed him like this, when he fell down, she would only severely reprimand him to make him stand up by himself.At that time, he thought that it would be great if he was the third aunt's son.

However, he remembered these unpleasant pasts, but he forgot that every time he beat him, his mother would wipe the medicine for him silently with tears in her eyes, and when he was sick, she would stay by his bedside day and night. beside the bed.

Time passed like running water, he grew up, but she slowly grew old.He knew that he was not a son who satisfied him, he was not even considered filial, even though he was obedient on the surface, he often disobeyed her in his heart.

Luo Shi helped the Da Tai Madam arrange the big welcoming pillow behind her, and said: "Mother, why don't I stay here tonight to serve the sick?"

Lin Fengxuan was still immersed in memories, but was awakened by his wife's sound, and then saw his mother patted his wife's hand and said: "Good boy, I know you are filial, but Bingyue is enough for me. You Serve Brother Hu well, and give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible, which is the true filial piety to me."

Luo Shi lowered his head, blushed and said, "Yes, mother."

Lin Fengxuan glanced at his wife, then at his mother, and finally said: "Mother, I will stay to serve the sick tonight."

However, Mrs. Tai was startled by her son's "mother", and said in disbelief, "Brother Hu, you..."

Over the years, my son often called her "mother" except when he was just learning to speak, but later on he always called her "mother, mother" and rarely called her mother.For this reason, she is not without heartache. Although "mother" and "mother" mean the same thing, there is no "mother" who is closer.

Lin Fengxuan walked up to Mrs. Da Tai's bed and knelt down, held her mother's hand and said, "The son has been unfilial all these years and let the mother down. The son will definitely be filial to the mother in the future."

Mrs. Da Tai reached out and stroked her son's hair, and said comfortingly: "With your few words, everything my mother does is worth it."

The Da Tai Furen then said to Luo Shi: "You go back first, I want to say a few words to Brother Hu."

Luo Shi bowed his knees and said yes, then led the maid down, and closed the door for her mother-in-law and husband when she went out.

After Luo Shi left, the Da Tai Furen pulled her son to her bed and sat down, then said: "Brother Hu, you can figure it out, mother is very pleased!" But then she sighed and said: "Now your two uncles I can't do it anymore. Originally, I thought that your second uncle would be able to make contributions this time, and he would always help you in the future. But I didn't expect that your second uncle would lose his arm because of this, and his general might end up at the end. Although the emperor rewarded a hereditary thousand households for his merits in this battle, but he has no power and influence, what is the use of hereditary thousand households, we can only rely on ourselves in the future. But it doesn't matter, it's yours Things, even if mother risked her life, she will help you get them back."

Looking at his mother's appearance, Lin Fengxuan felt a little sad, held his mother's hand, and said pleadingly: "Mother, let's stop arguing, okay, no matter who was right and who was wrong at the beginning, but the elder brother has already secured the title Yes, we can’t fight any more. We have the property we got from the family and the dowry left by our grandmother, and we can have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives, so why should we fight.”

The eldest lady waved her son's hand away, and said with some disappointment: "I thought you had figured it out, but I didn't expect you to be as worthless as before. How can you look like the son of me and your father? Remember clearly, you will If you are the real eldest son and grandson, you are willing to be deprived of the responsibility of offering sacrifices and inheriting the family, and become a side branch of the Marquis. What is that money, if you don’t have a title, it will be spent one day. What, don't you care about your future heirs?"

"Mother, as long as they have the ability, they can earn their future slowly..."

"Do you think it's really so easy to make a career? There are so many people in this world who can't meet their talents and can only die in foreign countries. Even Lin Fengqi, if he didn't have a title, you think he can get ahead so quickly."

"mother……."

"Stop talking, you don't think about your own son, I will think about my grandson. I will not let my grandson become a side branch that can only be born by relying on the first line. It should belong to him, and I will help him Take it back. You go back, think about it after you go back, and think about what you should do is the right thing." After speaking, he turned his head and stopped looking at his son.

Lin Fengxuan looked at his mother, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Mother, my son will leave first."

And in a corner outside the door, Luo Shi heard the gradually quiet movement in the house, and saw that there was no more conversation inside, so he said to the maid behind him: "Let's go, let's go back."
