Chapter 18

A few days later, Jing Shu learned from her grandmother, Mrs. Zheng, that her second aunt, Xiao Cheng, had returned to her natal home and returned to Ning.Xiao Cheng married the second son of Mr. Zhou, the servant of the household department. She has been married for more than five years, but she only gave birth to a prostitute daughter, and there has been no movement in the past few years.

Jing Shu heard her grandmother and her nurse in charge, Zhang Nai, whispering: "I guess something is wrong when I come back this time."

Nanny Zhang persuaded with a smile: "Old lady, you can just enjoy the family happiness now, these troublesome things are naturally taken care of by grandma and the others."

"That's right, I just eat and drink well."

When the second aunt Xiao Cheng came back, she brought back Jingshu's cousin Zhou Shulan. How could it be this Zhou Shulan? At a young age, she was very strict, and she spoke and acted with such vigor. She is already five years old this year. Yes, but it is the same year as Fifth Girl Ting.Sister Ting greeted her and smiled a little, then Cousin Shulan said seriously, "Smile without showing your teeth!"

The big guys know what kind of person she is, she has to abide by etiquette even more than feudal scholar-bureaucrats.

Sister Ting originally saw this cousin with a smile, but after being told this, she didn't like it anymore. Well, since you're not happy with your love, then forget it, I'm still in a hurry to find her say something?

Sister Fen and Sister Fang naturally just nodded. Zhou Shulan kept her mother's words in mind that these two cousins ​​were just concubines, and it didn't matter whether they had a good relationship with them, so she also nodded lightly. The third girl, Sister Yan, Still waiting for cousin Shulan to say hello to her, after all she is old, this is also the rule, but cousin Shulan just nodded, which made sister Yan not like it very much, sister Yun has a lively temper, so she took a picture of her. Patted Zhou Shulan on the shoulder, "Cousin Shulan, hello!"

Jingshu thought, that's too bad!

Sure enough, Zhou Shulan said: "Women's every move should be done in moderation. If you are too jumpy, you will be unstable!"

Sister Yun flushed with anger, but Sister Yan was very happy in her heart. Sister Yun, relying on her eloquence, coaxed her father around.

This is really a top-notch girl, and I don't know how the second aunt usually teaches.

The five people in front all greeted, Jing Shu was younger than Cousin Shulan, so she took the initiative to greet her, thinking, we didn't show our teeth, Jing Yin followed suit and greeted her too.Zhou Shulan just hummed, but her attitude was a bit better.

On the other side, the second aunt met all the nieces, gave each of them a meeting gift, and asked people to take the children down, and then began to talk to her mother. A few sisters-in-law and younger siblings stood aside, looking at Xiao Xiao. What can Orange say.

Quan sneered inwardly, and said: "The last time I went back to my mother's house, I heard my sister-in-law said that my niece has already promised her kiss?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng was very proud, "Yes, our Shulan was taken in by others at a young age, and insisted on pestering me to get engaged, I have no choice but to think about it."

Mrs. Zheng said: "The children are still young, why are you engaged so early?"

"Ah, that's what my mother said, and I told that family the same way, but if they don't give up, I can't help it."

What you said, even Fan's mouth curled up. No one knows what's going on with everyone. Just like your girl, I don't want it for nothing!

Mrs. Zheng was sweet-talking, and quickly asked: "Which family's young master is so blessed?"

The fourth younger siblings speak nicely, Xiao Cheng is triumphant, "It's the third son of Prince Yong's son!"

It turned out to be this family, and the daughters-in-law didn't think so. It turned out that the third son of Prince Yong's son was not only a concubine, but also had a problem with his legs and feet. He didn't know what this sister-in-law had to show off, and he was not afraid of being laughed at when he said it!

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Mrs. Zheng felt that, as the nominal grandmother, she still had to remind the concubine.

"Ah, I know what you are thinking, but I have seen the third young master, who is eight years old this year, good-looking and smart, and his biological mother is very favored, and ah, the most important thing is, These three young masters are happy to see us Shulan, you say, isn't this fate? So, how can I not agree?"

In fact, it was because she only gave birth to one daughter and lacked confidence, so she thought that she could climb up to the palace, and she would be able to speak in her own palace in the future. Although the three young masters have poor legs and feet, they can still walk, but one is tall and the other is low. But no matter what, he is also the son of the future King Yong, not to mention a county king or something, how rich and glorious is this?The most important thing is that the third son's biological mother is very favored by Prince Yong's son, maybe he can get the concubine Shizi down and become the righteous master herself.At that time, my daughter will at least be a county princess!
The Qin family still couldn't bear it, and said: "The relationship between Prince Yong's mansion is complicated, and the second sister should think about it carefully." Prince Yong himself has a group of concubines, and the son of the world has followed suit, and the previous generation has not been separated. If you really love your daughter, why would you want to marry her into it?
Xiao Cheng's face was not good-looking, and she said: "I don't have such a good life as my second sister-in-law. I only have one daughter. I don't plan for her. Who will plan for her?"

Having said so much, Qin felt that it was time to say something, since her own daughter felt sorry for herself, so she should not talk too much, so Qin did not speak next, but Mrs. Zheng waited for Xiao Cheng glanced, "You speak sourly. If you are not satisfied, go to your own house and talk about it. It's your sister-in-law!"

Everyone still has things to do, so the elder sister-in-law Fan and Xiao Cheng were left playing tricks, and when they were almost gone, Mrs. Zheng said: "Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush, now this mansion It's your sister-in-law who is in charge here, just like what she said." Fan felt relieved after hearing this, the old lady was sure of her status.

Then Xiao Cheng hurriedly said: "I knew that sister-in-law is capable, and there is nothing wrong with coming here this time, but Shulan's father wants to learn how to do business, but he doesn't have enough money, so I came here to borrow it with the cheek. I also hope my sister-in-law can help me."

It turned out that it was borrowed money, and Fan scorned it in her heart, "This money belongs to the public, and I can't move it around at will. Besides, I only manage the inner court, and the money for the inner court is allotted from the outer court. Apart from the expenses, there is not much left, the long house in the outer courtyard is under the care of the old man, if a lot of money is spent, the old man has to ask."

It means that if you borrow a lot, you need Xiao Dingbang's consent.

"What kind of business is my uncle going to do?" Mrs. Zheng asked.

"Oh, this is a lucrative business. Shulan's father met an overseas businessman. Because of an urgent matter at home, he brought a boatload of diamonds and precious stones that have not been sold yet, so he wanted to find someone to sell them at a low price. , so that he could bring the money home. It just so happened that my husband was lucky, so I ran into it. If the normal market price of that shipment of goods would be several 10 taels of silver, but now it only costs 5 taels. You say this is Isn't it a good thing?"

good thing?It's a good thing, why don't your parents-in-law give you money? I don't believe that the dignified Zhou family can't come up with 5 taels of silver. Fan feels very uncomfortable. Only when you are in trouble, you will run back. Do you really think that your side is a rescue center?Besides, this 5 taels is not a small amount, you can borrow it as soon as you ask, how can there be such a cheap thing?
"I'll talk to your father about this when he comes back." Mrs. Zheng said.

"Mother, let me put it this way, this matter is very urgent. If you miss it, you will have no chance. Think about it, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law and the fourth younger siblings all have some spare money on hand, why don't you lend it to me first?" Use it, I don’t use it for nothing, and I will give you some interest at that time. Many people want to join the group, but I haven’t agreed. Thinking about my natal family and sister-in-law, I have to earn some rouge money for them, right? If you If you delay any longer, you won't have such a good opportunity!"

Fan's words were a little moved, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, this Xiao Cheng is unreliable in handling affairs, and he can't waste his money because of the benefits that he hasn't seen yet.

The people here said that they would give an answer tomorrow, and Xiao Cheng didn't borrow any money over there, and he felt uncomfortable, but he had to give others some time to think about it, anyway, who wouldn't do such a good thing?
