Chapter 475 Fan’s Thoughts

Yang Santie nodded repeatedly, "Second brother, you don't have to worry about my affairs. I'm just waiting for the results of Qiuwei when I come back this time. If all the rich and powerful people in the Four Villages win, I will take them to Beijing together and bring some goods back to Beijing." , I hope to catch up with Jinxiu’s wedding.”

Yang Erdan was happy, "It seems that you have arranged everything properly, so I won't worry about it. There is nothing big happening here at the city wall. When the Qiu Wei results come out, I will go back to Ping'an County, and I will probably stay there." Stay for a long time.”

Yang Erdan didn’t say what he was doing specifically, but Yang Santie and the others could probably guess it.

The next day, Yang Santie took Yang Xiaohua to visit Zhong Bohan at Quzhou Academy, and also brought some jade and gadgets.

Zhong Bohan liked hearing Yang Santie talk about things outside the customs very much. The two stayed in the study to talk, and Yang Xiaohua went to Zhong Mansion to see Zhong Mianmian.

Mrs. Fan extended a warm welcome to Yang Xiaohua's arrival and even led Zhong Mianmian out to receive her in person.

"I heard before that the kid from the Three Railways resigned from his job to start a business, and I wrote a letter to your mother-in-law to explain it in detail, hoping she would give her some advice. I didn't expect that by the time I received a reply, the matter would be a foregone conclusion." Mrs. Fan said with a look on her face. Pity.

Yang Xiaohua smiled nonchalantly, "Auntie, thank you for your concern. We both don't like to be restrained. It's good now. The three irons are resigning, but the fame is still there. If you don't want to wander around in the future, you can come back to the academy. In teaching, you must not wrong yourself.”

"That's quite true!" Mrs. Fan was very envious of Yang Santie and his wife's open-minded mentality that was not bound by the world. She turned around and looked at her slim daughter beside her, and said hesitantly: "Mianmian, go see if your brother is awake." If he wakes up, bring him over to meet the guests."

After Zhong Mianmian was sent away, Mrs. Fan immediately approached Yang Xiaohua and asked in a low voice: "Good boy, aunt, let me ask you, did your mother-in-law mention the marriage in Sizhuang?"

Yang Xiaohua shook her head slightly, "I never heard my mother-in-law say anything about this when I left the capital. Sizhuang was so preoccupied with taking the exam that I'm afraid I won't mention it until next year."

Mrs. Fan was obviously a little anxious, and asked again: "Are the Four Villages in Qiuwei safe this time?"

Yang Xiaohua nodded, "Yes, I think Sizhuang and Fugui look like it, and there is a high probability that there will be no problem."

Mrs. Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully: "Auntie, I won't hide it from you. Mianmian is now fourteen, and it's time to talk about marriage. Your mother-in-law also knows about my family's affairs, because my mother is partial, and my sister has a son and a daughter. Everyone was having a bad life, and the Qi family was also defeated. My mother was angry with me. She couldn't come to Quzhou Mansion, but she was worried about the important events of her life and insisted on getting involved.

Fortunately, my father-in-law is still here, and my father-in-law is still there to support my mother's behavior, so she can't get over it. But I'm worried that it won't be possible if she keeps making trouble like this, so I think about settling down the marriage as soon as possible. "

Yang Xiaohua raised her eyebrows and roughly understood what Fan meant, "Auntie, do you want Sizhuang to be your son-in-law?"

Fan nodded hopefully, "Do you think it can be done?"

Yang Xiaohua was happy, "Auntie, you know the truth, so why bother asking me? Not to mention that Aniang really loves Mianmian, even the girl in Sizhuang who has the most contact is Mianmian. I also heard Santie said that Sizhuang occasionally gets... Mianmian will be given a share of all the good things. I don’t believe that Sizhuang has no intention of Mianmian. It’s just that Sizhuang is very thoughtful. There are three brothers above him who are pressing him, and there is a cousin chasing him below. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to do it before he has achieved fame. Will have these thoughts."

Seeing that Mrs. Fan was a little disappointed, Yang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said, "But I can inquire about Sizhuang's thoughts, and then tell him Mianmian's situation in a vague way. If he is willing, I can settle the marriage first."

“Okay, okay! I’ll trouble you then!” Fan’s mood turned gloomy.

At this moment, the housekeeper came in with a box and said respectfully: "Madam, the Fourth Young Master Yang has given me some jade and gemstones from outside the country. Please take a look at them." These days, men and women who are not engaged cannot give or receive privately. , will be criticized by others, and all transactions must be reviewed by elders.

When Yang Xiaohua heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and joked: "Auntie, look! We just came back and we brought so few things. Now the box is probably all that the Four Villages received, but it was all given to Mianmian. "

"Ouch! That kid has suffered a big loss!" Mrs. Fan said this, but she was very happy in her heart. When she opened the box and saw the jade and gems inside, she almost laughed out of her teeth. "These things are too great." It’s too expensive! No! You can’t take it back, steward!”

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed and said: "Madam, Young Master Yang had already told me when he left the things. He said that these things are suitable for women. He has no need for them. They will be covered with dust if they are left there. They are just a little thought and not based on money."

When Mrs. Fan heard this, she no longer persisted, "Then just keep it and send something equivalent to Dongli Villa later."

As he spoke, Zhong Mianmian led a little boy through the door. After the two of them saluted Mrs. Fan, the little boy greeted Yang Xiaohua in a polite manner.

Yang Xiaohua immediately gave him a piece of jade as a meeting gift.

The little boy thanked him, then left the room and went to the study.

Only then did Zhong Mianmian turn her attention to the box. Her eyes lit up when she learned that it was the jade gem given to her by Yang Sizhuang. After opening it and looking at it one by one, she touched her chin and muttered: "These are unpolished carvings." The raw stone cannot be sold at a high price even if it is sold. It is worth one thousand taels at most. If it is made into an object, it is estimated to be sold for more than three thousand taels. "

“Pfft!” Mrs. Fan spurted all the tea in her mouth and said angrily: “This is a gift from Sizhuang to you, and you actually want to sell it for money?”

Zhong Mianmian was startled and quickly admitted his mistake.

Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Mrs. Fan scolded her a few words and stopped caring.

After Fan left, Zhong Mianmian whispered in Yang Xiaohua's ear: "My mother-in-law just doesn't know how to adapt. Let me tell you, I have cooperated with Brother Sizhuang a lot in these years. Whatever good things he gets, he will send them to me." On the other hand, I will evaluate and plan for him to maximize the benefits of things. For example, these jade gems are only worth one thousand taels themselves, but I can sell them to him for more than three thousand or two thousand. I will share the money with my brother from Sizhuang equally for mutual benefit. "

Yang Xiaohua was stunned when she heard this. It took her a long time to find her voice, "So the Sizhuang has given you things all these years just as a cooperation?"

“What if?” Zhong Mianmian tilted his head and asked in confusion.

The corner of Yang Xiaohua's mouth twitched fiercely, and she quickly picked up the tea cup to cover it up.

Thinking of Fan's sorrow and looking at the heartless Zhong Mianmian, Yang Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh and asked: "I said you are old enough, but have you ever thought about your own life-long events?"

Zhong Mianmian felt a little melancholy, "I have thought about it, how could I not have thought about it! Hey! If I get married, I won't be able to make money like this in the future! My money!"

Zhong Mianmian began to wail.
