Chapter 30

Wen's eyes softened when he heard that his son was hurt that day to bring himself cakes.

"I've been falling for nearly half a month. Why are you still lame?" Ye Tangcai's mouth was small. Did the people she hired fight too hard that day?

At the mention of this, Wen was angry: "you don't know. It was better a few days ago. He was in a hurry to go out and fell down the steps, so he hurt more and more. Jun'er, you... "

"Mom, grandma is going to hurry. Let's go in quickly." Ye Tangcai hurriedly took Wen and pulled her to the house.

A woman had already stood at the door and raised the curtain.

Ye Tangcai and others walked into the East Room of Anning hall, where many people had already sat.

On the couch, Miao and ye Hewen sat on the left and right across the small table. Ye Lingjiao sat next to Miao on a peach embroidered pier, with a row of ring chairs on both sides of the head.

Sun Shi, ye Chengxin and ye lichai arrived early and sat in a row of chairs on the left.

At the end of the right sits a beautiful girl of 12 or 13 years old in a dark flower white cotton skirt. It is ye Weicai. She lives near, so she comes early.

Seeing ye Tangcai's mother and daughter, ye Weicai quickly stood up: "mother, big sister."

"Sit down." Ye Tangcai smiled faintly.

Ye Chengde said early in the morning that he had something to go back to the yamen, but he hasn't returned yet. The remaining two concubines, Luo's and ye Chenggang's daughters, were young children under the age of 10, so they didn't call. Ye Rong, the legitimate son of the second room, has been thirteen, but the first one got cold and didn't let him come. The rest is coming.

"They are all family members. Just sit down." Ye Hewen said.

Everyone took their seats one by one. The servant girl served tea and withdrew.

"The second family, you said that the wedding date of the second girl has been set. There is something important to discuss. What is it? " Ye Hewen picked up the tea.

"Old man, since you want to get married... Naturally you have to have a dowry." Sun smiled.

Roche covered her lips with a veil and glanced at sun with contempt and ridicule. The marriage was so dirty. If someone else wanted to do it quietly, she would be a good sister-in-law. She not only didn't cover it, but also called everyone together to discuss it! There's no one else.

Hearing the word "dowry", ye Hewen's eyelids pumped and stored for a while. He couldn't help glancing at Ye Tang, but he didn't attack in the end. He only said in a bad tone: "the second family, now you're in charge of the house and gather up another share in the warehouse."

Finish saying a face of flesh pain.

Unexpectedly, sun sneered: "old master, if there is one in the public, I naturally put it together and sent it along with the list. Why bother the public. But not at home! " Then he glanced at Wen's family sarcastically: "I don't know how my sister-in-law can be our home. The huge family property of the Marquis of Jing'an is stunned in my sister-in-law's hand. I often can't make ends meet and tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall."

This means Wen's greed for ink!

"What?" Ye Hewen was surprised.

"What does sister-in-law mean?" Wen's face is blue.

At home, there are few people in and many people out. Ye Hewen and Miao's family are very ostentatious, and their food and clothing expenses are slightly worse. They are very frugal. She has always been a strong person. She is afraid that if others say she can't be a housekeeper, it's not easy to shout out. She often demolishes the east wall to make up the west wall. I don't know how many times she has calculated to maintain her balance.

Wen said angrily, "the account books at home are clearly written. Can't you see the second brother and sister clearly?"

"You wrote the account book. Who knows how many times you added?"

"What evidence do you have?" Wen shivered with anger.

"The family now has thousands of Cang and hundreds of holes. It is evidence that they can't even get together a dowry."

Wen was so angry that he wanted to stand up. At this time, ye Tangcai pressed her hand and smiled faintly: "look at what aunt said... What do the villa leaders pay tribute every season, rent and land tax everywhere, and big accounts, which is not handled by grandpa himself? In recent years, the family has been losing or making money. No one knows better than my grandfather. There was such pomp at home. It cost thousands of liang of silver on my grandfather's birthday last time. If the second aunt wants to doubt, let's take the internal account books of our family and the external account books of our grandfather and compare them to see if they have lost or lost these years. "

Ye Hewen was embarrassed. The harvest in recent years was indeed much worse than before, and the harvest was nearly half less. On his birthday a few months ago, he did spend three or four thousand liang of silver.

"Isn't it?" Ye Lingjiao suddenly opened her mouth.

Miao was surprised and quickly stared at Ye Lingjiao and told her to shut up. Ye lichai is going to marry Zhang Jia. Miao doesn't want to offend Er Fang at all.

But ye Lingjiao's temper came up. She didn't care so much. Her words spit out like beads in a clear voice: "I've been learning to manage my family with my sister-in-law for two or three years. Last year, my sister-in-law was ill, and I managed it myself for more than two months, but I didn't find anything my sister-in-law was greedy at all. It's the second sister-in-law who can take over for twelve or three days, that's all. "

Sun's heart lit up with a miso. But now her daughter is going to marry Zhang Jia. Who doesn't hold it? This little sister-in-law dares to come over! The sun family sneered: "it's so reasonable and reasonable that I know it. It is written in the account book that half a month ago, the second son of the Duke of Ping was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the five cities army and horse department. The eldest brother went to congratulate and took a pair of colorful porcelain vases in the kiln as a gift in the warehouse. "

"Unfortunately, I ran into the daughter-in-law of Hou Pingguo's second son yesterday. She said that although the pair of blue and white plum bottles sent by our family are not valuable, her husband and son-in-law like them very much and have put them in the house. Yo, this blue and white plum vase can't match the colorful cellar! I just want to know why I took out the expensive Chengyao multicolored plum vase from home and sent it as a cheap blue and white plum vase? Didn't you sell the colorful kiln for thousands of eight liang of silver and then spend one or two hundred Liang to buy a pair of blue and white plum bottles? Ha ha! "

As soon as Wen's face changed, was there such a thing? Wen's whole body trembled with anger, but the mistake was in their big room and in her husband.

Ye Tangcai laughed: "the second aunt told my father to go! Anyway, what did the family get and support, but it's clear. As for the people who got it, what does it have to do with my mother? Blame only those who deceive. If this is true, then these human contacts and compradors will no longer be handled by him. "

"Sister......" Ye Yun was surprised and worried. This is their father! Sister, this trick!

Even if Dad did something wrong, he couldn't help it! Dad has a lot of money to spend! It's only ten liang of silver a month. It's not enough for me! Naturally, we should draw a little oil and water when we have human relations.

Aunt Ting's food and clothes cost more than 20 liang of silver a month. Ruidi wants to study. He worships the famous master Yao in the capital. He is a doctor who retired from the Imperial College. He has to repair it for a month, and he has to give gifts at ordinary times. And aunt Ting usually spends a lot of piecemeal expenses.

Although Ruidi was born to Aunt ting and her late husband, his relationship with him is so strong that he can wear the same pair of pants! Dad also said that since aunt Ting married herself, Ruidi is equal to Dad's own son and his own brother.

Ruidi is not like him. After the Lord is expensive, he can attack the Lord in the future, so Ruidi can only take the scientific examination. All these have to spend money!
