Chapter 92 – Greedy Ink
Master San frowned and said, ”Those several thousand taels of silver is that if Ma’am Shiyi doesn’t take them away, there won’t be much to divide amongst Fei’er. I’ve been in contact with Meng Shizi a few times, and from what Vice Commander Zheng said, Meng Shizi isn’t as simple as he appears.
“Shiyatou has the destiny to marry him, and she plays well with Princess Zhenbao, so if she helps support Fei’er’s future in the future, no amount of silver will be able to buy her. Don’t learn from sister-in-law’s selfishness and short-sightedness, let Zuo’er’s siblings get closer to those two siblings, and less with Yan’s girl, who only grows in age but not in brains ……”
The third wife heard that this is the reasoning, busy smile, “I was thinking out of the box. I don’t need to tell you, but I’m sure you and Fei’er will have a good time with the two siblings. ……”
The next day after asking for peace, the old lady left Jiang Yishi to send others away, and greeted Jiang Yishi to sit beside her.
The old lady took her hand and said, “Our family’s life is getting worse and worse, but you’ve been a good boy since you were a child, and among the several granddaughters, I love you the most. The family is having a hard time, but still prepared a dowry of ten thousand taels of silver for you. So, your brother and brother and a few sisters, have to suffer some losses. You have to remember the family’s good ……”
The old lady again told how to put together ten thousand taels of dowry silver.
At this time, the old lady is very kind, look at Jiang Yishi’s eyes full of favor, hold Jiang Yishi’s hand is full of temperature. If people who didn’t understand the situation of the Jiang family before, they would definitely think that Jiang Yishi was really her favorite granddaughter.
Jiang Yishi hesitated for a moment, or said, “Grandmother, my mother left the dowry although not much, I am not good to take them all away, always have to leave some memories for my brother …….”
Before she finished speaking, the old lady’s face turned cold.
Jiang Yishi continued, “Listening to Sister Qin said, before my mother died, she was most worried about her younger brother, and asked me to cherish him. Later on, my father also died, and in our house, we are the only two who depend on each other. This sister of mine didn’t do enough before, and rarely cared for him. I can’t be getting married and taking all my mother’s thoughts away.
“Is this okay, in my mother’s dowry, I’ll take away fifty hundred acres of land and the Huzhuang, and then take two kinds of jewelry as a remembrance, these count as five hundred taels of silver. Together with what the family has prepared, the total is nine thousand taels. This is already a lot, and I am very satisfied. I know that it’s difficult for grandmother to take out so much silver at once, granddaughter has remembered your goodness, Xun’er will also remember grandmother’s goodness.”
After saying this, she also got up with red eyes and bowed her knees to give the old lady a blessing.
She like this, the old lady want to say words can not say.
The old lady also heard her meaning, before, not only Jiang Yishi seldom cared about Jiang Xun, these elders did not care.
This granddaughter married well, Jiang Xun also has the potential to become the most promising of the grandchildren. The relationship between herself and them can no longer be like that between her and Jiang Chen. She and Jiang Chen were mother and son, no matter what, they were connected. But she is separated from them by a generation, pushing farther away, it is not easy to pull in ……
Good thing to do a half, silver also out of the big head, why bitter let her unhappy.
The old lady thought through, face again hung full of smile.
Jiang Yishi pulled to sit down, sighed and said, “Grandmother is old, grandchildren and more, inevitably some places can not take into account. Your father is my most promising son, white hair to send black hair, I almost didn’t cry to death …… Xun son with your father as promising, grandmother is happy. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that, but I’m going to be able to do it, and I’m going to be able to do it. Grandmother will take an extra thousand taels of silver for her private room to prepare a decent dowry for her granddaughter.”
Jiang Yishi thanked her. It wasn’t that she necessarily wanted this much silver from her mother’s family, but in her previous life, this mother’s family owed her and her brother too much. Those silver bills and fields in their own hands, and then privately send Jiang Xun some.
The old lady also asked her what to do with the silver. Of course, the old lady just casually asked, what does a little girl know, is not waiting for the elders to help buy.
Jiang Yishi did not say what to do, but also shyly said, “Grandmother knows a lot, listen to grandmother.”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said her thoughts.
“Take five thousand taels of silver out to purchase fields and manors, one thousand taels for you to use as a pressure box, the rest of the money to buy good wood to make furniture, and then purchase ornaments, jewelry, clothing, medicinal herbs, and other things.”
The purchases were similar to the previous life.
In the previous life, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Jin still did something in the dowry.
The eight hundred acres of second-class land bought was actually eight hundred acres of sloping land, each acre was cheaper by one or two and a penny per acre, and this item, Mrs. Jiang had embezzled more than eight hundred taels of silver. A countryside three into the manor spent nearly one hundred and eighty two silver, said the manor is large, inside the lake and plum garden.
Jiang Da-Madam had someone send a gift to the county office to do the deed, the deed is written “land”.
In his previous life, Jiang Yishi began to have been unaware of this matter, because the field in the Tangzhou side, more than two hundred miles from the capital, relatively far away, the person in charge of the manor and is sent by the eldest Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Yishi still heard Jiang Xun two years after he left the house, how this matter was discovered by the three old masters and their couple, and made a scene. Jiang Da-Madame took Jiang Jin off the hook, only saying that she was also a bitter owner, and was cheated by the unruly man who sold the land by substituting it for a good one, and that unruly man had already run off to who knows where, and the lackey who bought the land was also dead…….
Jiang Yishi guessed that it must be that the eldest Mrs. Jiang had given some hints to the eldest Mrs. Meng when she was discussing marriage with her, and knew that Jiang Yishi would not stay in the Meng family for long. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to do this even if she was given more guts.
Of course, it’s also possible that Mrs. Jiang just ate her up and thought that even if she knew the truth, she wouldn’t dare to make a scene.
This time, Jiang Yishi didn’t rely on Meng Yu, I don’t know if Jiang Da-Madame still has the guts to do so. However, Jiang Yishi felt that Mrs. Jiang still had the courage of the tiger.
Meng Jiang two families to talk about marriage, mainly is the Meng big lady and Jiang big lady contact, according to the virtue of the Meng big lady, should have some hints, to Jiang big lady to create the illusion, and then let Mrs. Jiang to add to their own blockage …….
Only the two of them discussing marriage, are in the Cheng Guo Gongfu, flowers can not hear.
If Grand Madam Jiang still dared to act like she did in her previous life, Jiang Yishi would have to seize the opportunity to properly clean her up.
Jiang Yishi got up and bent her knees, thanking the old madam very sincerely.
After the dowry matter was finalized, Grand Madam Jiang and Jiang Jin started to get busy. The two of them were mainly busy with the dowry, and the affairs of the mansion were taken care of by Great Grandma Jiang and Third Mistress Jiang.
Jiang Shiyan, who had always been unhappy with Jiang Yishi, became even more unhappy. Every time she saw Jiang Yishi, she was always cross-eyed, as if Jiang Yishi had taken away her man and dowry.
Hua Hua heard her go to the First Lady to scold Jiang Yishi, saying that she married a blind man, and it was not certain if the blind man would be able to bear the title, so why should she be given so much dowry. The Great Lady Jiang actually reprimanded her ……
