Reborn and Married to Uncle, Husband and Wife Teamed Up to Abuse Scum

Chapter 397 Tang Gang changes his view on the Xin family

At a family banquet of the Xin family, the happiest person was not the members of the clan, nor Xin Kuan and his wife, but the one who showed off his brother-in-law. The item was given by her brother-in-law. In Mrs. Xin's words, the tail had detached from the body and was flying up into the sky.

Tang Mo's easygoingness made the younger brothers and girls of the Xin family relax a lot. If the family was a big scholarly family, the elders might have to ask about the younger sons' studies in the afternoon, but the Xin family members all kept silent in a tacit understanding and only went to the school. The Xin family’s traditional programs include abacus and counting coins.

"Today you're going to open your eyes. That's a unique skill."

The formation was set up, and both men and women could participate. After the clan elders set out the questions, there was a lot of abacus beads crackling, fingertips flying on the abacus, some people were mumbling something, and the old lady's eyes widened. "Have all the Xin family members learned arithmetic?"

"They are all easy to learn. You can know most of the accounts once you go through them in your mind. How can anyone who does business not learn this."

Xin An said that the Xin family collected a lot of books on arithmetic and could calculate accounts no matter how big or complex they were, quickly and well.

"Amazing."

The old lady looked at Tang Gang, who also looked at the abacus of those men with a good look, wondering what he was thinking.

If the abacus was an eye-opener for the Tang family, counting the money was even more surprising. Several large boxes of copper plates were brought out. They had to string the copper plates together for a thousand dollars in the shortest possible time. Someone caught them. Pick up a bunch of copper plates and start stringing them. When you're done, run your thumb over a string of copper plates from beginning to end, and add a few more to make a string;

Someone picked up the pile and held a thin stick in his hand to separate the copper plates into piles.

Xin Huan took a box, grabbed a handful, closed his eyes and listened, and then let the copper plates slip from his hands and made a tinkling sound. After a few handfuls, he stopped stringing money together. Tang Mo was curious, "What does this mean? Listen. Do you know how many there are?”

Xin An said: "If it's not a unique skill, distinguishing money by hearing the sound, the first cousin relies on touch, the second cousin's eyes are the ruler, and the third cousin's palm is the scale."

Tang Mo lowered his voice, "It's normal for a family to not have a scholar. If you can still study with these skills, how can others live?"

In his opinion, this craft can be used as a sideshow, or can he just set up a stall and gamble big and small, and still not make any money?

"Even if the Xin family is in decline, their lives will not be too bad. Naturally, it seems that the prosperity of the Xin family will still be many years away."

His father-in-law was rich and honored, and he was honored.

There was something more in Tang Gang's eyes when he looked at Xin Kuan again, he was a little more polite when he spoke to the elders of the Xin family, and he was a little more sincere when he praised others for their good parenting skills.

Xin An raised her eyebrows, feeling that her father was more capable.

The next day Xin Kuan took Tang Gang and Tang Mo to Ziwei Garden, and Xin An accompanied her mother to Zhou's house.

The wedding between the Xin family and the Zhou family is already in sight. Both the betrothal gift and the dowry have been prepared. In five days, the Xin family will start making arrangements, and the appointment will be officially presented in half a month.

The Zhou family has a good background in Huaijiang, and their ancestors were once wealthy. There are also scholars in the house, and some are officials in the government, but their official positions are lower.

When Mrs. Xin arrived with Xin An, all the female members of the Zhou family came out to greet her with a very considerate attitude. Mrs. Xin said: "My daughter is thinking about the old lady's body and bones, and she said she wanted to come to visit. Is the old lady feeling better?"

"Thanks to the Qi-nourishing pills I've been taking from the capital, I feel much better."

Mrs. Zhou affectionately helped Mrs. Xin go inside, and said to Xin An: "I have to thank you very much for this, Madam." "As long as the old lady is in good health, this is the first thing my brother said when he arrived in the capital. , I am very considerate, as a sister I will not be careless.”

Mrs. Zhou took the mother and daughter to see Old Mrs. Zhou. The old lady was far less energetic than Mrs. Zhou, and was a little depressed, but she was just holding on.

Seeing Xin An, he held her hand tightly and thanked her for the tonics she sent, saying that he would work hard to live. Xin An felt very sad after hearing this, "I brought you some more. You will definitely live a long life." ”

The old lady smiled and nodded, but after a moment she showed a tired look. Mrs. Zhou led the people away and sighed on the way, "The doctor also said that the old lady is not sick, she is just old."

"If you take good care of it, it should last half a year."

Mrs. Xin was also lamenting. She said that the Xin family had already made all the preparations they needed. They were just waiting for the date to get married. She lowered her voice and said, "I thought about it. I'm still a little young. I don't have to worry about getting pregnant. I can wait until I'm seventeen." Say it later.”

Mrs. Zhou's eyes immediately turned red and she held Mrs. Xin's hand, "Thank you very much. I am lucky to have a mother-in-law like you, Yu'er."

Mrs. Xin clapped her hand. This was what Xin An reminded her of. There are many dangers to a woman's pregnancy, and the risks are greater at a young age. She can afford to wait two more years.

When they arrived at the main room, Mrs. Zhou insisted that Xin An sit on the throne. After all, she was more noble in terms of status. It’s just a family.”

Mrs. Zhou didn't refuse anymore. She smiled and asked Xin An whether it was good in the capital, whether he could adapt to it, whether the capital was very prosperous, etc. Xin An answered with a smile. Xin Huan's fiancée Zhou Yutan, Miss Zhou, stood quietly. On the side, Luo Luo was generous, and standing beside her was a girl half a head shorter than her. Her eyes were always on Xin An, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Sister Zhou, come here."

Xin'an knew Zhou Yutan, and signaled Chunyu to bring a gift, saying: "Long time no see, in more than half a month you will be my legitimate younger brother and sister. This is what I, the quasi-eldest aunt, brought to you from the capital." Yes, let’s see if you still like it.”

The mother-of-pearl lacquer jewelry box with a red background was extremely exquisite. Everyone thought that this was the box given as a gift. After all, the box didn't look cheap.

Xin'an opened the door of the box and saw that every layer of the three drawers was full. There was a full set of makeup, twelve hairpins, two pairs of bracelets, and earrings and necklaces. "Don't think I'm vulgar. It's actually my brother who has finished his surgery in the capital." He took me around various shops because I wanted to pick out unique gifts for you. I was so impressed that I bought more. "

"Fortunately, we women don't mind too much jewelry."

Zhou Yutan Fu Li said, "Thank you sister, these jewelry are all exquisite. I like them very much."

The eldest aunt was so generous, which made her less anxious when she was about to go through the door.

Xin'an joked, "If you like it, come to the capital with my brother when you have passed the gate and are free. I will take you to pick it out in person and let my brother pay for us."

Zhou Yutan made a big blush, and Mrs. Zhou smiled with satisfaction, feeling that the Xin family was paired up.
