Aunt He smiled flatteringly: "Who can go with me or not with my mother, my mother is such a character, she is a strong character, and now our family is one of the second largest families in Hetang Village." ”In addition to the River Clan Chief's family, it should be the River Deping family.As soon as the clan mentioned the situation of each family, they couldn't help but praise Hede for his good life, his son was capable, and his niece was filial.Jiang Ruoning took out the deed of twenty good fields and gave it to the Jiang family.Jiang glanced at it and put it away, and then took the silver ticket from Uncle He's hand and put it away.Xiaocao cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the He family went back in an ox cart.There were two bolts and edamame, and one person hugged a few tricks.Liu Cuitian scolded: "I'm going to study next year, and I'm messing around with my younger brothers and sisters, you're embarrassed to play with these, and you take a big bag to your home, and throw yourself to death" Edamame ran to Gu Damei's side, playing like a treasure: "Mother, my aunt bought it for us, this frog can walk by itself, and this horse and that carriage are the same, and they will also walk by themselves, but it's fun." ”Sister Gu said: "When you grow up, remember to honor your aunt." ”The family can live such a well-fed and clothed life, almost all of which is due to Jiang Ruoning, for this sister, the whole family from the Jiang family to the edamame is very fond of it."
I know," Edamame laughed.Jiang Ruoning went to the county government again.There were three people left at home: Xiaocao, Zhibo, and Xiaomei.Zhibo was still sitting in the rocking chair, swaying slowly, shaking the fan in his hand.Xiaomei helped Xiaocao wash clothes by the well in the yard, and the two talked while washing.The second girl returned to the Jiang house, and when she asked, she learned that Jiang Ruoning took Xiaocao and others to move to a new house, and this house has a new name "Yueweiyuan".She tapped the door a few times, Xiaomei answered the "come" and opened the door to see that there was a red-faced second girl standing outside.Xiaomei laughed, "Sister Erniu, come in" After Erniu came in, she looked around, Miss is a capable person.I heard that I have already reconciled with Lord Wen, even if I have a place to go with others, this new house is better than the earlier Jiang house.Some of the same women can hold up the sky alone.And some are having a hard time, which shows that women still have to have self-esteem.Xiaocao poured herbal tea for Erniu and placed the teapot on the stone table under the tree.The second girl hung her head, full of worries.Xiaocao asked in a low voice: "Sister Erniu, Aunt Zhou didn't come" asked.As if the wind had broken the thread in the air, the paper kite floating in the air fell suddenly, and the second girl cried on the table with a "wow".Xiaomei and Xiaocao looked at each other in a daze, no one knew what was going on, the cry of the second girl seemed to be trying to control it, and it seemed to be venting her feelings, crying heartbreakingly, provoking the uncle at the door to lame into the yard, and asked from a distance: "Second girl, cry so much" The second girl wiped her tears.Sobing, he said, "I cried all the way back to the city. ”Thinking of what happened when she went home, she was full of grievances and unwillingness, in the past few years, she used her family as a cow and a horse, and even sold herself to her brother to marry a sister-in-law, but they are a family, and she has become an outsider.Xiaocao guessed: "It's not that something happened at home, but the family is in trouble", and the family is better off than her.It's just that it's Erniu's father who is in charge of big things, and her sister-in-law is a thoughtful person.Xiaomei also guessed blindly.The second girl cried for a while, and said, "In the past few years, Miss Danfan has rewarded me with a penny."
I saved all the money to supplement the family, and gave the family more than fifty-two taels of silver, but now I am short of five taels of silver to redeem myself, and my mother actually said that there is no money.My eldest brother and sister-in-law are still messing with me.said that I didn't serve Miss well, so I wanted to redeem myself, and Miss was also for my good, seeing that I was old, it was time to match people, but they wanted me to help them earn money.None of them will give me a child" Xiaocao knows some things, mostly listening to Ah Huan, "In the early years, Miss didn't remind you, let you plan for yourself, save money for self-redemption, and save some dowry, so that you can marry a decent family in the future, that is, when you go to your in-law's house, because you have a dowry, people will not treat you slowly." ”The second girl is still crying, this time when she went home, she saw that the family had changed a lot, and she heard from the village that the family could also eat enough, vegetable fields, orchards, middle fields, lower fields, and thin fields, and even her younger brother's son ran all over the ground, and the younger brother and sister were pregnant with another one in their stomachs.But they only care about their own days, and they have long forgotten about Tuesday Niu, forgotten that Erniu is still a girl, and forgot that Erniu is twenty-one years old, and it should have been matched a long time ago, so they thought about letting her earn money for the family.Zhibo said: "Although Miss is two years younger than you, she sees things more clearly than you.Your family is not as good as the He family, and the old lady of the He family is a shrewd governor.The second master of the river and the third master of the river are willing to work hard, so that people can live so comfortably.Your eldest brother is afraid of women, and he listens to your sister-in-law in everything; Your mother is afraid of your father, your father only has sons and grandsons in his eyes, where is your daughter; Although your brother has a little conscience, how can he bear that your sister-in-law has too many eyes, and he is busy dealing with your sister-in-law, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to you. ”Zhibo is telling the truth.From the day the Zhou family sold Erniu, Erniu was like she had married out in the eyes of her family, and it was good when she got the money, but if Erniu had difficulties, she would become an outsider.Erniu cried even more sadly, went home with confidence, and wanted to take five taels of silver from Zhou's mother to redeem herself, when she gave Zhou's mother next year, she said that it was good, and it was left for her to redeem herself and set up a dowry, but this time she went back and said that she didn't give a child, how not to make Erniu sad, she cried at home, and wanted to stay for two more nights, but her sister-in-law put her nose on her face and threw her face to show her.She also earned money to go home, and if she didn't earn money to go home, maybe what would she think.The more the second girl thought about it, the more chilling she became, and she cried all the way from home to the county seat.The second girl's room is located in the green mold room, although it is a green mold room, that one is separated, the back room is a bedroom, and the green mold is placed in the outer room, and the inside and outside doors are closed, and the smell of the outside cannot invade.The second girl entered the house, opened her box, and saw that her clothes and the money she had saved were a lot, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief, and she was worried that Jiang Ruoning would really drive her away and have nowhere to go.She is the sister-in-law who was married to the family after being sold, and the sister-in-law is a powerful one at a glance, and she manages her eldest brother to death, and her sister-in-law says east, and her eldest brother does not dare to go west.Because of this, the relationship between the sister-in-law and Zhou's mother is very poor.If only there was one more of her in the family.I'm afraid that if Zhenri looks at her sister-in-law's face, she won't be able to go on.Even if she is a serving girl, even Jiang Ruoning has not lost her face like her sister-in-law.At noon, Ah Huan and Jiang Ruoning came back for lunch.Jiang Ruoning used the rice.Fang asked Erniu: "What do you think" "Miss, Erniu listens to you" Jiang Ruoning sighed lightly, "What do you say in your family" "My mother listens to my father, my father wants me to continue to serve Miss, and scolds me for not serving well."
It must have annoyed Miss to drive me away, and said that there was no place for me at home, and if I was driven away, they wouldn't want me" This is indeed Zhou's father scolding her, Erniu's eyes are full of tears, Zhou's father is patriarchal, in his opinion, Erniu's existence is for the benefit of her father and brother.Jiang Ruoning said: "If you listen to me, then I will really call the shots for you." ”"Yes, the second girl was sold to the young lady as a slave.It's the young lady's slave. ”Jiang Ruoning thought for a while, "These days, I am also paying attention to your affairs, I originally wanted your family to redeem you back, so I found a good in-law to marry."
In this way, I went back to the matchmaker and asked her to find a good family for you to marry around the county.When you get married, I will give you a dowry of ten taels of silver, and then I will free you from slavery. ”This means that the young lady wants to give her such a good thing as a dowry.But never.Jiang Ruoning said softly: "Actually, this time it's my fault, I saw that your family is unreliable early on, and I only reminded you to plan for yourself in the past few years, but you didn't listen."
In fact.From the beginning, I didn't want you to redeem yourself, you have served me for several years, although you are a master and servant, but you are like a sister, how can I accept your self-redemption money.Since it's said and done.I will be the master for you, let the matchmaker find a few good people, and you can choose a satisfactory one to marry.After leaving the cabinet, I will help you get rid of your slavery on the third day. ”Ah Huan hurriedly said: "Sister Erniu, my senior sister said so, but it's all for your good, if you don't marry her, you will get rid of slavery, your father is famous in your town, and he turned around and accused Miss of marrying you, not to slander the reputation and good intentions of the senior sister."
But if the senior sister marries you first, and then gets rid of the slave status, they will have nothing to say. ”Xiaocao stood aside, her heart pounding, ten taels of silver, Jiang Ruoning actually wanted to add ten taels of silver to Erniu's dowry, and she didn't charge a penny to help Erniu get rid of slavery.Jiang Ruoning said again: "You go home and tear up the red cloth for yourself, and sew the wedding dress first, there are not many people like you who have a dowry of ten taels of silver, you are beautiful and beautiful, and you can shave green mold to make money, it must be good."
Your temperament is not suitable for marrying into a family with a large population, and you have to be simpler.I'll look for a matchmaker and ask them to help you pick a few households. ”The second girl was moved to tears, and even responded, "I listen to Miss." ”"Don't say this again, the days to come are your own, you have to make your own decisions, don't take care of your mother's family, you have done enough for them, your brother and your brother have married daughters-in-law and have children, you should plan for yourself."
Jiang Ruoning went to Yamen, Xiaocao found an opportunity, immediately returned to Ping'an Village, and when she returned home, she told Jiang Ruoning that she was going to add ten taels of silver to Erniu's dowry, and said that Erniu still had a few taels of silver.When the tenants with children in the family heard this, they made up their minds one by one.And Xiaocao's family has an elder brother who is eighteen years old this year and has not yet married a daughter-in-law.A dozen taels of silver, this country family, you have to pay six or seven taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law, there is no dowry, there will be a girl with a dowry, although she was a girl earlier, but she looks good and is very diligent, and she can live a hard life, and she really can't find it with a lantern.Liu Cuitian went around outside, and immediately went home to tell Uncle He.Aunt He ran to the Jiang family's house and chattered: "Mother, has Ning'er been deceived again, that is a girl, if she wants to redeem her family with silver, why do you add ten taels of silver as a dowry." ”Jiang was holding a string of Buddha beads in her hand, which Jiang Ruoning had begged for her from Lingyin, she opened her eyes and said angrily: "Ning'er is the most affectionate, Erniu has been with her for four years, and it is reasonable for her to do this." ”"Mother, that's a dozen taels of silver.""
Why don't you say that the family has dozens of acres of fertile land and decent yards, Ning'er bought a new house in the city, is it for herself, but she is for the children and grandchildren of the He family, this child doesn't say it, I understand."
Liu Cuitian immediately said: "The new house will be given to us sooner or later" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately smiled at us.Jiang glanced at her annoyed, and said unhurriedly: "Ning'er is a sentient person, don't stop it, you have to boast, for the sake of our family, her reputation has been ruined, and now it is as much as she can recover." ”Uncle He and Liu Cuitian were thinking about the new house in the city, and when the Jiang family spoke, they naturally listened to the Jiang family.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the East House, and Liu Cuitian said: "Mother, what is this boasting?"
"Naturally, Kwa Ning'er is affectionate, and she would rather suffer herself, but also let the Tuesday girl marry decently, such a good master can't be found with a lantern." ”To be continued.4209051:
