Chapter 477 Dividing the money
The villagers who didn't understand what he meant all ran to Old Man Yang and Mr. Li to find out.
The old couple had some guesses, and they were happy in their hearts, but they didn't show any expressions on their faces, and they only responded vaguely.
Everyone is working in the workshop.
Someone must have come to talk to Yang Laoer and muttered: "You see, Dafang can live such a prosperous life relying on the Jiang family alone. Your son must have been promoted a lot when working with Dafang! He is in Fucheng How much money do we get every month in the village? If we work hard in the village, we can earn nearly one tael of silver. No matter what, Fugui can earn two taels of silver! Yang Dou, how much money can Fugui give you in a year?"
Hearing this, the surrounding villagers cast curious and gossipy glances.
Yang Lao'er was angry but didn't want to get angry, so he just said lightly: "I haven't thought about it."
"Oh! It looks like there are quite a few! Also, rich and filial children are brought home in big and small packages every year when they return to the village. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, if only I had such a filial son! It is said that wealth is not a small thing. Come on, Yang Dou, it’s time for you to find a wife for Fugui. Even though the child is far away, you can’t just leave it to his sister, right?”
The villagers' words made Yang Laoer unable to answer.
He wanted to take care of it, but during the Chinese New Year last year, his son had made it clear to him that life-long events would be arranged by his sister. His son would not want the girl he chose nearby, nor would he come back to marry him, let alone give him a betrothal gift. There wasn't much money in it at all, and it was all saved for future retirement. If his son refused to take the money, he naturally couldn't find anyone to marry him.
Under the persuasion of everyone's words, which was either kind or adding insult to injury, Yang Laoer's face became more and more gloomy. When he thought that Yang Fugui would not come back to celebrate the New Year this year, he couldn't sit still. He got up and came to the side of Old Yang and Li.
The old couple thought Yang Laoer had guessed something, and looked extremely panicked.
Yang Laoer was preoccupied with thinking about "unfilial sons", but he didn't find any clues.
“Daddy, grandma, did Fugui tell you that you won’t be back for the New Year this year?”
Old Man Yang was stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with Mrs. Li, nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "That's what happened. He is now working in the brick kiln factory in the east of Fucheng. The city wall is almost completed. What the prefect meant is To rush the work, he has to keep an eye on the people below, and it takes him several days to come back. "
Yang Laoer didn't know anything about city walls, so he just frowned and asked, "Did he say when he would be back?"
Mrs. Li was dissatisfied and asked, "Why are you asking so many questions? Your child is earning money to support you at a young age, and he has not suffered you. What else can you be dissatisfied about? Before you think so much, let's take a look at our family. Conditions, what are their conditions! If he doesn’t expect you to help Fugui, don’t hold him back!
Second brother, while I still have my breath, I can tell you carefully. Even if Mrs. Qian is not so big, she is still a mother who gave birth to three children. She even lost her life for Da Ya in the end. She owes her children Things have changed with the three children, but you are different. Originally, the three children were filial to you, but they accidentally created a troublemaker like Bai Yuniang, causing so many troubles.
The three children may blame you for Qian's death, so forget Erya. She was obviously adopted by the elders. If they don't count on you, don't think of counting on her anymore. You can rely on her in the future. There are only Daya and Fugui.
You yourself know the situation of the Fang family. Today is different from the past, and the pressure on the parents is also great. Besides wealth, who else can you rely on in the future? Instead of thinking more about the child, you still try to trip the child up. How heartless! "
Li scolded her mercilessly, but her words were rough and unreasonable. She insisted that Yang Laoer had no reason to argue and did not dare to have other thoughts.
At this time, Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui had already followed Yang Santie and others on their way to the capital.
There are still goods in the caravan, and they have to trade all the way. At least they have to arrive in the capital later than the normal journey. Fortunately, Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui are not in a hurry. One is full of confidence, and the other is mainly testing construction. It will be more beneficial for him to go outside and gain experience.
So by the time the group arrived in the capital, it was already snowing heavily in the twelfth lunar month.
Jiang Ning was very happy to see these people and quickly asked his servants to help them wash, bathe and change clothes.
When a large family gathered around the dinner table, Jiang Ning only looked at them with satisfaction, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Sizhuang, "I have received your third brother's letter a long time ago. This marriage in the Zhong family is excellent, very special." Okay! I have sent a letter to your second brother to take care of it, and I will let the news out after the two families are officially engaged."
Yang Datou on the side joked with Yang Sizhuang: "Fourth brother, the news that you captured Quzhou Prefecture and Jieyuan has reached the capital. Many people have already asked about your marriage. I am puzzled. None of them have seen it. I don’t even know if you are beautiful or ugly, so why are you so anxious?”
Liu Ye chuckled softly and teased: "Although they have never seen Sizhuang, they have met three of your brothers! And my sister-in-law, who fought with Meng Jinge at the Flower Appreciation Banquet and became famous in the capital. You brothers and sisters are all good-looking. , can Sizhuang still grow crookedly?”
“Hahaha” everyone laughed.
Yang Sizhuang was teased so much that his face turned red, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for the compliment."
His reaction made everyone extremely happy.
After eating, those who were tired from traveling and traveling all went back to rest. Only Yang Santie went to Jiang Ning's study.
"Auntie, this trip is a blessing. Ayana has been sent back to her biological mother, and even life-long events have been settled. In order to thank us, Prince Tie Ge of the Eagle Tribe specially gave us a lot of jade from the Western Regions. Gem seeds were given to me, I kept some jade and gems, and the rest were exchanged for silver on the way.
There are only those seeds. You know that I am a layman and I really can’t figure it out. But I brought them all back to my mother-in-law. Would you like to see them? "
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up immediately, "What a guy! You can also get the seeds from the Western Regions! You are worthy of being my son!"
Yang Santie became even more proud of such a compliment, and said smoothly: "These are nothing. Grandma, guess how much I earned in total during this trip?"
“How much?” Jiang Ning lowered his voice, his face showing three parts anticipation, three parts apprehension and four parts uneasiness.
Yang Santie came closer, stretched out two fingers, and said in a low voice: "More than two million taels!"
“Hiss!” Jiang Ning took a breath of air, and his mind went blank for a moment, “How could that happen?”
Yang Santie immediately told Jiang Ning what happened along the way in detail, and finally said: "Princess Yongyang gave her one hundred thousand taels at the beginning, this time I will give her four hundred thousand taels, and Brother Xu can also divide it into three If there are more than 10,000 taels, I will send them to them later, and the rest will belong to our family. If we divide it one by one, the least one can get more than 100,000 taels. "
Although the money given by Xu Nuoshan was not much, he still had some books, calligraphy and paintings that he had copied. Rich people outside the customs who liked the culture of Qi would pay for them, and those things were sold for a lot of money.
