The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 268

The big reason why Mrs. Ji agreed so happily just now is that this matter is all a private matter, and she can't get on the stage. Even if she agreed today, she will regret it tomorrow. Does the Xing family dare to say anything?
The step-wife is sure that the Xing family dare not speak up.

On the surface, the Xing family said that it was for Qianmi's good, and they were afraid that the news of the woman's purchase of property would spread, and Ganmi would not look good in official circles.In fact, he was afraid that Gan Mi would feel uncomfortable and be indifferent to Lin.After weighing it over and over again, the step-wife secretly called out the weakness of the Xing family, but unexpectedly, the dead girl in front of her was even more ruthless.

Whenever she takes a wrong step, her son's life will be over.

The following wife forced a smile and said: "It's all according to Miss Xing's wishes. We are also people who know what is good and what is bad, but the third prince would like to ask you to say a few good words."

Xiuyan smiled and filled the cup for his step-wife: "Naturally, the third prince is the most talkative among all the princes. Although he was quite shocked, he finally understood the urgency of the seventh master. Having said that, But I don’t understand something, and I want to ask my wife to give me some pointers.”

Xiuyan put one hand on the small red sandalwood table, and the other casually pinched the tassel on the waist purse, and asked softly: "I heard that the Seventh Master handed over 5 taels of silver back and forth to the Ministry of Officials in order to beg for this official. Fortunately, the officials caught the servant and did not stab the emperor, otherwise, the matter will not end well after the Long Live Lord picks it up."

The step-wife was shocked when she heard this astonishing number, but in front of Xing Xiuyan, she didn't dare to reveal herself first, so she smiled and said: "Isn't this number wrong? The seventh child and I want it!" I paid a few hundred taels of silver, saying that it was to manage the peak and make connections, it was not a peddling of officials and nobles."

Xiuyan smiled and said: "Yes or no, we will know when the people from the Zhen Fusi confiscate the servant's house, the bank notes will never lie. The bank notes of all major banks have their origins, and when has anyone been withdrawn?" Such a large amount will not even have an account."

When the step-wife heard the words, she subconsciously squeezed the teacup tightly, and looked carefully, and she almost pinched the fine official kiln tureen between the flesh.No one knows better than her how much money the step-wife gave her son. Let alone [-], even [-].

But how dare she tell outsiders that the origin of this money is really not innocent, like a tendon in the flesh, as long as one end is pulled and pulled up, it will definitely cause her own end to be smashed to pieces and bloody.

Xing Xiuyan saw the face of his step-wife, and smiled lightly: "Madam's monthly silver is 50 taels. After a year, even if you don't spend a penny to buy jewelry, you can only save 600 taels. Madam When you got married, the wife of the prefect of Jining added 2000 taels of silver to you in private. Let us consider that the wife has a bit of ability to turn gold into gold, but 5 taels is not a small amount after all. Is there no one in the family who is curious about the origin of this money?"

The step-wife dodged her eyes, and said tremblingly, "You, what do you want to say?" How did this girl know such details?Is it really like what outsiders said, in fact, the entire Xing family is ultimately decided by this young lady?
Xiuyan smiled and said: "Madam, don't be nervous. Since I can find out these things, I can also find out the source of the money. It's just that they have nothing to do with me at all, so I don't have any point in asking. This is Madam's own little You should carefully protect the secret."

The step-wife was in a turmoil, and she almost walked out of Xiuyan's yard in a panic.Everyone didn't know what the girl from the Xing family had said to this person, but they only knew that when the step-wife returned to the opposite door, the first thing she did was to ask her maids and women to pack their luggage.

In less than two hours, no. 30 people hurried out of Fengwei Hutong in carriages and horses.

Gan Mi and Daiyu tried every means to persuade the old man to stay, but the old man was worried about his step-wife, so he reluctantly gave in several times, followed behind his step-wife, and left the mansion.

Gan Mi and his wife stood at the gate and looked at each other. It was already dusk, and the traveling horses and chariots were indescribably despondent.Daiyu couldn't bear it in her heart, and looked at Gan Mi anxiously: "Isn't it too much for us to do this?"

Although Gan Mi hated his grandfather, he hated his step-wife even more, he chuckled lightly and said, "It's okay, grandfather is a person who understands righteousness, even if our behavior is a bit rough, when he wants to understand that step-wife has no part in this matter Reasonable, it’s not easy to blame us anymore.”

Gan Mi shifted his gaze to the opposite mansion, although there was no shock in his eyes, deep in his heart was already shocked.Although he had heard from his wife that the elder sister of the Xing family had great means, he always thought it was the means of the women in the deep house. He never thought that the elder sister was also good at using the wind direction in the court to achieve her own goals.

Although it is not very open and aboveboard to frame the seventh master, but for that kind of person, the bright means are ruined.

Daiyu looked at her husband in a daze, and quietly pulled him back: "What are you thinking?"

Gan Mi suddenly came back to his senses, seeing his wife's eyes full of worry, he quickly smiled and said: "No, it's just the first time I saw someone who could make my step-wife suffer a dark loss and obey me obediently. The elder sister is like a man, and she will definitely succeed in the future extraordinary."

Daiyu frowned, seeming coquettish and annoyed: "What about the daughter? How many of the elder sister's current achievements can be surpassed? Even the old ship king sighed, it's a pity that their family doesn't have such a good daughter, otherwise there is no need to worry about the family fortune. No one to support it? I'm just telling the truth, although my mother has Fu Geer, most of the family business still has to be passed on to the elder sister. It's not because the mother is partial, but because she and the master are fair people, they will do this. "

Gan Mi doesn't know how much the Xing family has, nor does he want to know, but there are rumors in the capital that the Xing family has developed from a small cake shop to today, and even many aristocratic families can't compare.

Some people were also jealous and said behind their backs that the Xing family started as a merchant, even if they made a fortune in the court, they would not be popular.But as the fifth prince gradually showed his head and feet, the court did not dare to make such harsh voices anymore.

For a huge family business, most likely heirs will be cultivated from an early age.Gan Mi is from a famous family, many of his senior brothers are from wealthy families, and more than half of them do not learn from teachers for real knowledge, but only to have the title of great Confucian disciples.These senior brothers have racked their brains and racked their brains for the succession of the family business. Even if they have never seen Gan Mi, they have heard of it.But I've never seen a family like the Xing family that gave up their sons but gave them to their daughters.

Thinking of the upbringing he has received these years, Gan Mi suddenly felt a little ridiculous.People in this world always advertise that men are respected, and Gan Mi used to think the same way. It was only after marrying Lin Daiyu that Gan Mi felt ashamed. His wife's knowledge was not inferior to his own. joke.

Gan Mi clasped Dai Yu's hand tightly and said with a smile, "It's windy, tomorrow I will go with you to pay my respects to my wife and elder sister."

Daiyu smiled, and the two went back to the inner house hand in hand.

The story of the old man leaving the house with his stepwife in a hurry spread to Mother Jia the next day, and the old lady clapped her hands and laughed in front of her grandsons and granddaughters: "I knew it, leave this matter to the Xing family." It's definitely not bad in the hands of the girl."

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly and said: "The Gan family is a famous family in Jining, so I understand the minimum etiquette. Since I agreed to buy the house for the eldest girl and uncle as a new house, I must have an explanation for us. The daughter-in-law thinks that the Xing family It was inappropriate to do so.”

Mrs. Wang poured cold water on her mouth, which obviously made the old lady very dissatisfied.

"What's wrong? If you don't understand the twists and turns, don't talk nonsense. Be careful that it gets into the ears of your uncle and wife. It's a good intention for someone to help us. You have ruined the two families by telling you to speak so sarcasticly." friendship." Jia Mu said coldly, "If that's the case, I won't follow."

Tanchun and others lowered their heads in embarrassment when they saw the second wife being reprimanded, but Jia Baoyu stared blankly at his mother, and looked at Jia's mother in confusion, "Old ancestor."

Jia's mother was hurt by Wang's words, and she didn't want to hear her precious grandson pleading for her, so she hurriedly stopped Jia Baoyu's words: "Okay, your father tested your essays yesterday, and memorized a few of them. ? He will ask you again at night, if you still can't answer, the ancestors will not save you!"

Jia Baoyu's face turned pale, and he shrank his neck immediately.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several girls got up to leave one after another. Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and held back her anger to serve Jia Mu for dinner.When Jia's mother was about to take a nap, Wang went back to Rongxi hall with a hum.

Zhou Rui's family trotted to catch up with Wang's pace, "Madam calm down, the weather is so hot this day, if something goes wrong, what shall we do?"

Wang slumped on the pillow and panted heavily: "This stepwife is also an idiot, and the ducks in his hands can fly."

Zhou Rui's family personally brewed a bowl of Maojian and handed it over: "Why should the second wife be angry with that kind of person? What step-wife is actually a stick, and it is impossible to make a big deal."

Mrs. Wang threw the teacup on the face of Zhou Rui's family: "Callet, mallet! Why did you yell in my ear back then? You said Mrs. Step-by-step would definitely catch that damn girl's hind legs."

The plop of Zhou Rui's family knelt on the ground: "Ma'am!"

After all, it was her servant who had served her for many years. Mrs. Wang was bored for a while, and seeing Zhou Rui's family was still kneeling on the ground, she said coldly: "Get up."

Zhou Rui's family got up embarrassingly, and Mrs. Wang looked at her: "No one knows better than you what I have in mind. Now my mother is short of money in the palace. My son borrowed money from my concubine. Refuse to lend. If the money in the public house is moved again, the family will have to turn around. Let alone the old lady refuses to agree, even the master can't forgive me. How can I find a way to get 1 taels first? Empress send it in."

After Zhou Rui's family heard it, they felt very disdainful. Why did the wife put on a pitiful look and say that she was trying to get Lin's idea?
