Chapter 397

After listening to Zhu you's words, Mrs. Zhou immediately felt that she was in a panic. She would take these things with her for a night or two, but she would just make do with them?

Look at the big and small bags in their hands. Even Zhu you is carrying a small one. Mrs. Zhou lived here for a few days and knew that the big servant girl in the family would not do it by herself. It's not a big burden, but the weight seems to be heavy. Judging from the shape, it's supposed to be something like a dowry box. Thinking of the pearly appearance on Shen Xi's head today, I don't know how many good things there are?

When Zhu you saw that she didn't speak for a long time, he said with a smile, "if my uncle and wife don't have other orders, please forgive me for leaving first."

Mrs. Zhou put some other thoughts into her mind. It was rare for her to have a pleasant smile. "Since you have something to do, please go ahead."

Although Zhu you felt that the other party was not right, he didn't think deeply. After the ceremony, he took the others to Shen Xiang's yard.

At this meeting, Shen Xi had already taken off the jewelry on his head. He had long black hair and tied a chignon with two red head ropes. At this time, he was sitting cross legged on the Kang and playing chess with Shen Xiang.

Seeing her coming, Shen Xi threw the pieces in his hand and said, "I won't play any more. Anyway, I won't win much in this game. I'd better give up as soon as possible. I'll change my clothes first."

But Mrs. Zhou went to her daughter's place and saw that she was holding her cheek and was unhappy. There was a pile of new clothes on the table next to her. Mrs. Zhou recognized at a glance that she had just ordered a new dress for her daughter from a famous embroidery shop in Beijing two days ago. "What's the matter?" he asked? Why do you look unhappy when you have new clothes

How about Zhou Kezhen's "no matter how new it is?"? It's just plain goods. "

Mrs. Zhou said, "this is the most popular brocade in Beijing this year. The style is also up-to-date. It costs more than 20 liang of silver. I'm not willing to make such expensive clothes myself." This is enough for their family's expenses in the past half a month. If it hadn't been for the past half a year, the whole family lived in the Shen family and saved a lot of money, she would not have been willing to make such expensive clothes for her daughter.

Hearing his mother talking there again, Zhou Kezhen felt even more upset. Originally, when she was in her hometown, she felt that she was very outstanding. She didn't want to come to the Shen family and see all the girls who were not inferior to her. Shen Xi, in particular, was wearing a set of pearls when he saw him in the teahouse that day. Today, he is wearing a set of tourmaline. All of them are exquisite. They are more exquisite than what his cousin usually wears. Really, isn't they just hanging out in their own family? Need to show off like this? Who didn't?

Mrs. Zhou, who has always known her temperament, sighs when she sees her daughter Wu Zi's sullen. She has always been a good girl, but she is not brilliant today. She must be unhappy. She had to find a way to divert her attention. She turned to the opposite wing room and asked, "where's the opposite one?"

Zhou Kezhen's disdainful "where else can I go? I went to flatter my aunt. I don't like her. When I was at home, I was numb. When I got here, I knew how to pick up high branches. Hum

Smell speech, Mrs. Zhou takes a finger to point her forehead, a pair of hate iron does not become steel appearance, say "you ah, really brain is not clever.". Your aunt's family is so rich. The big girl flatters her a little. What's leaking in her fingers is enough for her to enjoy for a long time. "

Seeing that her daughter looked rather contemptuous, Mrs. Zhou bit her lips and said, "your mind is clear for your mother, but you don't know the situation of our family. You only have so much money in a year. Don't say your father that person, left an aunt, right a room of Na came in, and gave birth to several son of a bitch, that silver is the general flow of water to scatter out. My mother also plans to save money for your brother and sister's marriage. There's really limited money on hand. But your aunt is not the same. There are only five or six Chuang Tzu managers who come to close the accounts at the end of this year. I heard that your aunt's Chuang Tzu, big and small, now has a total of three or four thousand mu of land. With the harvest of several shops, their income in one year can match our income for more than ten years. That's not even your uncle's salary. " Zhou Kezhen frowned and said, "that's not a lot. There's a lot of input and a lot of expenditure. How many servants are there in this family? I look at my cousin's head and face, and it costs 100 Liang silver. Since then, I've seen 20 or 30 sets only. Not to mention the clothes, all the Shu Brocade and Yun Brocade have never been seen before. They are all sharp. They are all the legitimate daughters of the family. How can my aunt care for her daughter like this? I haven't seen my uncle. What's your opinion? That time, I just fell in love with a little bird hairpin. It's only tens of taels of silver, so my father won't buy it for me. "

Mrs. Zhou shook her head helplessly and said, "if you want to go out and walk more, do you know that your cousin grew up with Mrs. Guogong who came here today. She has been raised by her husband and wife for so many years. Just like a daughter, she gives her a lot of clothes and jewelry every season. And the Crown Princess and the princess of Rongjun love your cousin very much. Do you remember that your cousin's birthday party this year has not yet gone abroad for filial piety, but the two empresses also sent people to send extremely valuable headdress and clothes. It is estimated that the birthday gifts your cousin has received in recent years will be enough to buy a decent dowry. "

Looking at her daughter's beautiful appearance, Mrs. Zhou was also very distressed. If it wasn't for her husband who didn't know how to make progress, with her daughter's condition, what kind of high-ranking family couldn't reach her? Now living in the Shen family, although the eldest sister gives her daughter monthly silver according to her family's share, what can she do with two taels of silver a month?

Thinking about this, she complained, "your aunt says she loves you, but she can't buy a box of better powder for two Liang a month. What do you think your cousin is wearing? Which one is not made of silver? She must be able to help her daughter in private

After listening to her mother's words, Zhou Kezhen frowned and said, "it's better for her mother not to say that. How bad is it if she is heard by her aunt? My cousin is my aunt's own daughter. Who is she not facing? " In the heart after all some lose, oneself how didn't reincarnate into aunt's daughter? Otherwise, won't the beloved become himself?

Mrs. Zhou thought about what Fang Xinsu said today. Others just laughed at it. But after listening to it, she had some small plans in her mind. She always thought her daughter was good. Since Princess Rong said that she didn't care about her family, she said that she couldn't let her eldest sister-in-law help her lead the line?

If you are leisurely to know her mind, I'm afraid it will be thunder. How dare you think about this man!

This meeting leisurely is talking with Jiang Gongren. Jiang Gongren's brother has passed Enron's examination, and will be able to go to school after Jinghe college starts. Although he failed to worship those famous scholars, Enron also recommended an experienced gentleman. The day before yesterday, Jiang went to see Mr. Xin.

This time, his younger brother didn't have to go to school for thousands of miles, and he also had a good teacher. Of course, Jiang Gongren was very grateful. This time, he came to express his thanks to you ran.
