Chapter 92: The Mid-Autumn Moon Reunion (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Chapter 92 Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion (please vote)
Rong Niang is testing Tao Chi with the recipe of "making money in the right way". Could it be that Dao Chi is testing this little girl?
Obviously, compared to being thick-faced and dark-hearted, the young lady in the house is completely defeated.
She put on a serious face and said: "What are you talking about? It's just a shop, not a house. It's a shop just for the sake of earning some money. If the profits are shared, why bother? Your thoughts will be shared by Sanlang and I."
Okay, as for the sharing of money, don’t mention it again. If I was really greedy for these few dollars, why would I come over and tell you? It’s not like I can’t open a shop by myself. Not only Sanlang and I, but also Sister Shunniang and Hu
I don’t agree with you giving them the dividends of your head. This kind of unearned foreign money may make people feel embarrassed at first, but taking advantage can easily become addictive and people can become greedy. If they are in a tight situation, please give them a helping hand.
, they will think you are good; if you give it for free like this on a regular basis, not only will it not be enough, but you will not be able to give it any day if you want. In addition, no matter how good the relationship between Sister Shunniang and Erlang is, there is no difference between falling to the ground before the marriage and after the marriage.
Same. Sister Shunniang has brother-in-law Zhang next to her. Erlang will also take a daughter-in-law here in the future. After all, they are two families. The money is not clear, which will cause some troubles in the future. The relationship between the sisters is good, and this is not the reason. Sister Shunniang is worth 100 per year.
Ten taels of silver, even if you make a career, Sister Shunniang has a backer."
Rong Niang said these few words sincerely for the benefit of Dao Chi.
After all, Dao Chi is only the heir, and Shun Niang is Wang Ning's biological granddaughter. If Dao Chi is willing to treat Shun Niang favorably, Wang Ning will only be happy and won't say anything else.
But Rong Niang didn't want to see Dao Chi suffer too much.
In her opinion, Dao Chi has done a lot for Waijiufang. Waijiufang is poor. As we all know, even if Shun Niang Xu is a high-ranking member of the Zhang family, the dowry should be purchased according to her ability. Although Aunt Cui left a share
The dowry, but when a Taoist idiot goes to school and thinks that there is no need for money to get married, there is no reason to waste all the dowry to accompany the shunniang.
The only good thing is that Dao Chi is still young now and has three or four years to go before we get married. If we help him, we can save some money before he gets married.
Sanlang blushed and said: "I will never want it. In Erlang's mind, my brother is just a corrupt official? You don't have to worry about it. It's decent for you to just save some family property."
If there was a crack in the ground, he would be eager to crawl into it.
Although Dao Chi and he were half-brothers, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, when the family was divided, all the sons were divided equally. Dao Chi was adopted into a poor family, barely surviving, and having a profitable livelihood, he still thought about these brothers and sisters.
Even the little brother who was babbling was not left behind; when they were enjoying the rich food and clothing, why didn't they think of helping Dao Chi buy some property earlier?
If it weren't for the fact that Shun Niang was about to get married, Dao Chi thought of the dowry shop. Speaking of this, he would never have imagined that he had neglected it so much.
In the past, I only thought that I would take good care of this younger brother when he grew up, but I forgot that at a young age, this younger brother had already begun to support the family and had a hard life. When he grew up, his younger brother also grew up, so I didn't wait to help him in times of need.
, why is it that he is the icing on the cake?
Obviously, Rong Niang was a little uneasy because of this, but it was not because of guilt or anything like that. She was just worried that the Taoist idiot would have a bad life and would be resentful of the Twelve Fangs.
Because of Dao Chi's succession, Twelve Fangs received a lot of criticism, and even their children were not spared. Later, because of Sanlang's good relationship with Dao Chi, the rumors in the clan gradually became less. If Sanlang and Dao Chi brothers
When the time comes to turn against each other, I don’t know what others will say. She will marry in Beijing next year, and the ups and downs in Anlu will not affect her, but there are too many criticisms, and it is not good for Sanlang after all.
The siblings expressed their opinions one after another, and the Taoist idiot's face showed a bit of confusion and uneasiness.
Rong Niang had already made up her mind and said: "You have been in the mountains since you were a child, and you went to the palace a few days after you came down from the mountain. My uncle and aunt are of a very noble nature, so they don't know about the dirty things outside. Although money is good, it is also the source of evil.
How many families have turned against brothers and husbands and wives have become enemies because of money. Don’t use money to test people’s hearts unless you have to. And when it comes to business matters, if you mention stocks or something like that once, you won’t be able to take it back easily. You are still young now.
You will gradually understand these principles later on, so this time you will listen to me. As for choosing the shop owner, you don’t have to worry about it, I’m free these days.”
The big bag was packed away.
Dao Chi quickly showed a bit of embarrassment and whispered: "Why bother eldest sister like this? Shouldn't eldest sister... just like Sister Shunniang, embroider the dowry at home?"
When it came to this, Rong Niang was very generous, not as shy as an ordinary daughter when hearing about the marriage, and said: "Those things have been prepared in advance. I am just hanging around and enjoying my leisure time. Apart from teaching Wulang to talk, I have nothing else to do every day."
Serious business, idle time to get moldy. Don't be wordy anymore, Erlang. Am I not your biological sister? It's boring to be polite anymore."
At this point, the Taoist idiot could only express his thanks solemnly.
After talking about the serious business, Rong Niang and San Lang stood up and left without sitting for a while. After all, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have other things to be busy with at home...
After the carriage left the outer ninth house, Sanlang lowered his head and said, "Sister, I was negligent. I saw Erlang's predicament long ago, but I didn't think of helping him."
Rong Niang said: "How can you help? Even if you want to give money, Erlang has to be willing to go. It's not like his father and mother have never given it to him, and even his uncle and aunt can't get through. It's not too late now, Erlang hasn't used the money yet.
.Just like what I just said, I will open several shops one after another, and the annual income will be enough for Erlang to live freely. I look at Erlang's temperament. Although he has ideas, he doesn't care about money. It's still considered a good job.
kind."
Sanlang nodded and said, "Erlang is honest in his treatment of others. I heard from Seventh Brother that he managed Aunt Cui's dowry pretty well. He also pawned several things given by the palace and raised money to buy dozens of items for Sister Shun.
Mu makeup field.”
Rong Niang was silent when she heard this. She really didn't expect that Dao Chi could do this for Shun Niang.
As the only legitimate daughter of Twelfth Fang, her dowry had been prepared many years ago. Not to mention other things, the farmland alone covers a thousand acres. For Twelfth Fang, such a dowry is nothing, and her parents are not unable to buy it for her.
More, just because she doesn’t want to be too eye-catching. More gold and silver will be given to her in other ways.
Even if Shun Niang was given a dowry of dozens of acres of land, it would be nothing compared to what she had here. But although there were not many things, the Taoist idiot spent all his money to buy them, and the weight may not be lighter than her dowry.
There are just siblings and Taoist idiots over there who can achieve this level; what would happen if there is no successor?
After a while, she sighed and said: "My uncle is so lucky...Father is really wrong..."
I also thought that although Dao Chi's homework was not as good as Saburo's, he was better than Saburo because he was diligent and willing to study. He passed the county and government examinations in one try. If this continues, there will probably be no problem in next year's college examination. A thirteen-year-old scholar will be able to take the provincial examination even if he takes it.
There is nothing to be afraid of if you study a few more subjects.
I don’t know if my father regretted his hasty behavior.
Now that my father has not resurrected, it is just a matter of repayment. Even if outsiders gossip about his plan to give birth to his bastard, it will not have any impact; when he resurrects, letting his political opponents know about this shortcoming will cause another turmoil.
Before arriving home, Rong Niang asked Sanlang to keep the matter of helping Erlang plan the pawnshop a secret and not to let his parents know.
Wang Qinghong acted with the dignity of a scholar and had never been happy with a business like a pawn shop. Although the Wang Yang family was soft-hearted, they sometimes had a tough mouth. If they knew that the two sisters took the initiative to help their younger brother, they would definitely not agree with it.
Sanlang said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I am not a talkative woman. How can I mention this? But eldest sister, even if you are bored at home and want to take this opportunity to go out and relax, don't leave me behind. As long as I am with you, my mother will
I won’t ask any more questions..."
The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On a sunny day, thousands of people in Anlu City saw a bright moon at night.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Shun Niang took wintersweet and set up a sacrificial table in the yard.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to family reunions, there is also a ceremony of worshiping the moon, which is officiated by female elders or housewives in the family. According to custom, men do not worship the moon. Men usually act as praisers or deacons during the moon worship ceremony.
Worshiping the moon begins when the moon rises. Because of what happened last year, Taoist idiots are familiar with the role of a praiser.
The women in the family, in addition to Wang Ning's grandson and grandson, including Wintersweet and Grandma Yan, were sacrificed one by one, and the entire moon worship ceremony was completed in only two-quarters of an hour.
After worshiping the moon, everyone sat down again to admire the moon and eat moon cakes.
The mooncakes were filled with five kernels and rock sugar inside, which obviously suited Hu Tou's appetite. He ate three pieces with a smile. Wang Ning was afraid that he would accumulate food, so he moved the mooncake plate in front of him, and he stopped talking.
The Taoist idiot thought of Zhang Qinghe and whispered: "Grandma, when will Brother Zhang come back from Wuchang Mansion?"
Wang Ning made a calculation in her mind and said: "I will go out to the examination room today, and the results will be released on the 25th. If you are on the list, you will have to pay a visit to the master of the examination. It will be the same year. I have told you that I will not come back until the beginning of next month... If you don't pass the examination
Okay, twenty-eight, nine is almost there."
Speaking of this, the old man can't help but feel a little worried. If Zhang Qinghe is on the list and gets married next, it will be a double happiness, and Shun Niang will directly become the concubine. If Zhang Qinghe fails the provincial examination and is in a bad mood, will it happen?
Affect the couple's relationship?
Seeing this, the Taoist idiot advised: "Grandma is just too worried. I asked Seventh Brother to inquire about it. Several great scholars in the city have praised Brother Zhang's articles. Brother Zhang's fate this time is probably due to his hard work."
Wang Ning said: "I just hope for the best."
Rong Niang was sitting opposite the Taoist Chi. She couldn't really hear the conversation between her grandfather and grandson. She only heard words like "brother Zhang" and "article", which made her ears red.
She turned sideways and saw the tiger head looking longingly at the mooncake plate that had been moved aside. She couldn't bear it, but she didn't dare to let him eat more, so she gave him a tooth of watermelon...
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Taoist idiot waited for another day, and on August 17, he went to the palace...
