Chapter 31 Emei Moon Rising Dream is in full swing
It was getting dark outside, and it was time to turn on the lanterns. Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang looked around in the east chamber, and then were taken to the upper room by Dao Chi.
No matter how naughty Wang Qi is in private, in front of the elderly, she does not behave like a young master of the clan, nor does she look at people with her nostrils because of her poor family. She behaves very politely and well-behaved, and her face is much less obscene.
It's a bit likable.[]
Not to mention Wang Sanlang, he not only looks good, but also has a better demeanor. When Wang Ning saw him, he couldn't help but praise him a few times, saying that Sanlang had the same demeanor as his father when he was young.
Wang Qi has been following Wang Sanlang around these days, and she is the one who admires Sanlang the most. When she saw Wang Ning praising others, she couldn't help but praise him: "You are really a wise man. Not only the teachers in the school praised Sanlang, but even my grandfather praised him."
My uncle and I both say that Sanlang is as smart as Uncle Hong back in the day, and the clan is about to produce another talented young man."
Wang Sanlang was extremely embarrassed. Wang Ning smiled and nodded, changing the conversation so that he could feel more at ease.
Wang Qi said that she was here to deliver a message, and Wang Ning asked in detail how many hours it would take to learn the rules. In addition to the rules, would she also be taught other things, such as when to enter the palace?
Some of them Wang Qi knew, and some of them were confused by him, but they all told the truth. Dao Chi was nearby and saw that he was not intolerant of contempt when faced with the nagging of his elders, and he couldn't help but rate him twice as high in his heart.
point.
The room became darker and darker, and Grandma Yan came in to hold the lamp.
When Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang saw this, they stood up to say goodbye and were escorted out by Taoist Chi.
Dao Chi didn't even mention the matter of Lancao and Xiaosui. He knew in his heart that he was the latecomer to this family, and he should adapt to this family, not this family to adapt to him. Even if he wanted to improve his family's life,
It's better to do it slowly, otherwise it will make the old man feel unhappy.
Although Lan Cao and Xiao Sui acted honestly, they were from the Twelve Fang, and they bore the mark of the Twelve Fang. In the eyes of the outsiders, it was because the Ninth Fang had received favors and taboos from the Twelve Fang.
The most important thing is that because Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang were surprised by the east chamber, the Taoist idiot began to face the gap between the twelfth room and the outer nine rooms. Maybe in his eyes, these are nothing, but in the eyes of others, they are like Tianyuan.
difference.
In the twelfth room, the second-class maids only serve the young master and young lady for daily life, food and drink, while the third-class maids like Xiaosui only pass messages, run errands, etc., and their errands are very leisurely.
Dao Chi retained someone because he wanted Wang Ning and Shun Niang to relax, which meant that the other party had to be a cook, responsible for sweeping and cleaning, and also had to feed chickens and serve the dishes, which was more expensive than the twelve-bedroom house.
The mother-in-law is still tired. No matter how honest Lancao and Xiaosui are about their duties, they may not be able to bear the transition from leisurely work in the twelfth house to rough work, and they will rarely complain.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to wait for a while, buy new people from outside, and live in peace...
After sending people off, Dao Chi saw Shun Niang going to the bedroom and busy working in the kitchen.
Although Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang came to deliver messages and gifts, this was their first visit and they both brought gifts, some of which were food and needed to be packed away in the kitchen.
Not only does this sister have a quiet temper, but she is also so diligent in her hands and feet. I don’t know which bastard will take advantage of her in the future.
The Taoist idiot returned to the east chamber, carried three huanghuali boxes, and went to the upper room.
Regardless of what is in the box, just by looking at the appearance of the box, Wang Ning knows that these things are valuable.
The Taoist idiot pushed one of them to Wang Ning's family and said: "Grandma, this was just sent by the housekeeper of the twelfth room. It is my biological mother's dowry. According to etiquette and law, it should be inherited by the grandson. Please ask grandma to take over the grandson's inheritance."
Son for safekeeping.”
The Taoist idiot has already seen the contents inside. In addition to the land deed for thirty acres of land, there are also dowry lists, silver seals and jewelry. If the great monk did not give him a gold leaf before he went down the mountain, maybe he would take it from this box
He wanted to use money to supplement the family income. But now, since there is no shortage of money, he doesn't plan to touch this. After all, it is the relic of Xiao Cui. Even if there is no request from mother and son, it still has the name of mother and son. It's okay to think about it.
Wang Ning nodded and said, "Okay, grandma will keep it for you. I will pass it on to your daughter-in-law when Erlang gets her."
This time it was the Taoist idiot who was embarrassed, but he was not as thin-skinned as Shunniang and Sanlang. He pushed the remaining two boxes over without hearing anything, and said: "Grandma, these two boxes were given by the elders of the twelfth room.
, but the grandson thought that in this world, there is a saying that suffering a disadvantage is a blessing, but there is no saying that taking advantage is a blessing. Reciprocity is also a human principle; the grandson is young, and if he receives heavy gifts from the elders over there, he is really unable to repay them.
I felt uneasy in my heart. So I asked my grandmother for help and accepted this gift for my grandson."
When Wang Ning heard this, his expression slightly condensed, and he was already annoyed. It was not that he was angry with Dao Chi, but that he was dissatisfied with the Twelve Fangs.
In any case, since the "Succession" was established in the clan house at noon, Dao Chi is the heir and grandson of the outer nine families.
Even if the elders in the twelfth room felt sorry for the child and wanted to supplement the child, they would come to the door as an adult, personally inform her as an elder, and ask for her permission before giving money and gifts. Now the adults don't show their faces and just send messages.
It was against the rules for a half-year-old child to bring the housekeeper to the door, and to go beyond him and hand something directly into the hands of a Taoist idiot. In a house of twelve-room officials, no one knew these human principles, but they were just putting on airs and did not care about her in their hearts.
This old lady just takes it seriously.
If only she was involved, Wang Ning would not bear this tone. She would always go to the clan house to talk and argue the rights and wrongs; but if a Taoist idiot is involved, the most difficult thing would be if the relationship with the twelfth clan is stalemate.
This child.
The old man held back his anger and said: "Have you thought about it, do you really want to refuse this gift? As elders, they all like the younger generation to be obedient and obedient. Of course you have your own ideas, but rejection is rejection. Maybe you will
Just complain..." At this point, he paused and said, "Although I don't know what they have prepared for you, but based on their status, I think they are good things. If you accept them, you may not be able to eat and drink for half your life.
worry."
Dao Chi smiled and said: "Is it true that my grandson is like a loser and can't support the family? Now that my grandson is still young, he will focus on his studies; when he gets older, he will naturally have to bear the responsibility of supporting the family. Everyone has it.
Greed, getting something for nothing may not be a blessing for the grandson. Maybe after all the squandering is done, the grandson will be angry that he got less, and will have the desire to look forward to the river. Or the grandson is used to this.
If the supply and care is cut off one day, my grandson may not be able to stand on his own if he wants to be independent."
The old lady's expression softened a little, and she nodded and said, "Now that you have made up your mind, I will go out for you tomorrow. You can understand it clearly, so I won't be wordy anymore."
The grandfather and grandson dropped the topic, and Wang Ning asked Dao Chi to lead her. She got up and went to the back room. When she came out, she held a blue Ruyi purse in her hand, with only the word "福" embroidered in red thread on it.
"You won't be back until noon tomorrow, and you will have to stay in the clan house for most of the day. Always have some money with you, and give rewards when it's time. Don't let your slaves get angry over a few cents." General Wang Ning said.
He handed the purse to Dao Chi and gave instructions.
"Thank you, grandma." Dao Chi took it with both hands, listened to some more instructions, and then returned to the east chamber.
Lying on the bed, Dao Chi opened the purse in his hand. Inside there were two pieces of broken silver the size of broad beans and fifty copper coins. He put the purse down and took out a small cloth bag from his waist.
It's a stack of gold leaves.
The Taoist idiot rubbed his hands on the gold leaves for a while, then took two and put them in his purse, and stuffed the others under his bedclothes. Wang Ning had a strong temper, so he expected her to use the gold leaves from earlier to supplement the family income.
There is no chance. Before entering the palace, I should exchange some money and settle my family.
After entering the palace, due to the access control, they were not allowed to come and go at will. I heard that they could only leave the palace and go home on the last three days of each month.
Thinking of these, Dao Chi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he finally fell into a drowsy sleep...
It was the end of the month, and there was a crescent of Emei Moon in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly.
Standing under the window of the east chamber, Wang Ning saw the Taoist idiot with large fonts on the bed through the light, his face full of kindness.
The old man shook his head and quietly entered the east chamber. He first walked to the bed and put down the mosquito net, then took out the lampshade and turned off the light, then tiptoed out.
On the bed, Dao Chi closed his eyes again and raised the corners of his mouth slightly...
