Chapter 132: money for the journey
Chapter 132
Hearing her father's question, Jiang Muyan took out the small box behind her and handed it over with both hands, "My daughter is not going, my daughter wants to give you these silver taels for road money."
Jiang Erye was startled when he saw the box. Wasn't this a money box that Wang kept by his pillow every day when he was alive? Now that she saw the money box again, Jiang Erye felt that the Wang family was not dead yet. She had been standing here for ten years, still talking to herself expressionlessly. Jiang Erye felt uncomfortable in his chest, and quickly said, "Because you have money for your father, you should keep this box carefully, and don't take it out easily in the future."
The family did not agree to follow him, but Jiang Liu understood it even though he was disappointed. She put down her own affairs and followed her sister to persuade her father, "Father - accept it, we - have money, don't borrow - from others."
Jiang Erye shook his head firmly, "This is what your mother left to you, not only I can't use it, but no one in the family can use it, you can keep it."
"If you borrow someone else's, you have to pay interest and owe favor." Jiang Liu settles the accounts for his father. He has money in his family, so why go out and ask for help.
"That doesn't work either! Put it away." Jiang Erye's face sank. He would rather pay interest and owe favor than use Wang's dowry money. Not only the Wang family, but also his mother's dowry, he couldn't touch it.
Jiang Muyan hugged the money box tightly and dragged her sister out. It's not that she doesn't use it for daddy, it's that daddy refuses to use it, and grandmother won't blame her if she finds out!
After the girls left, Erye Jiang actually found his son with a smile on his face, and asked, "Why are you smirking?"
Jiang Ling immediately raised his face, "I didn't smile."
I don't know what you're thinking yet? Jiang Erye walked around his son with his hands behind his back, "Don't you think that after your father and I are gone, you and your sister will be able to squeeze in the same chair to read and lie on the same stone bed to enjoy the shade? "
Jiang Ling's little black face tightened even more, and loudly denied, "No."
Jiang Erye snorted, laying on the bed with his head resting on his hands and cocking Erlang's legs, swaying leisurely, "You think for nothing, Liu'er will go to Quanzhou with his father..."
Jiang Ling rushed over, "Didn't my father say uncle wouldn't let my sister go?"
Jiang Erye rolled his eyes at the silly boy and continued to squeak.
Jiang Ling jumped under the bed and was about to run out, Jiang Er Ye quickly grabbed him, "Where are you going this evening?"
"Go to Uncle and ask." If you don't ask clearly, Jiang Ling won't have to sleep all night.
Jiang Erye laughed angrily, "You stupid boy!"
Jiang Ling said angrily, "I don't care, I'll go if my sister goes, I won't go if she doesn't go, my father will never want to separate me and my sister!"
"Is it so good to be with your sister?" Seeing that his son was about to cry, Jiang Erye felt bored and coaxed, "Okay, okay, stay with you, and you too, come up and sleep!"
"real?"
"fake!"
"Go tell my sister!" Jiang Ling shook off his father's hand and ran outside, but Jiang Erye couldn't hold it. Running to the door of her sister's room, Jiang Ling knocked gently and asked, "Is my sister asleep?"
"Not yet." Jiang Liu responded and asked Shu Qiu to open the door.
Hearing the sound of water, Jiang Ling didn't enter the house, but said outside the door, "Father just lied to you. Uncle asked my sister to go, and let me go too. Let's go together!"
"Really?" Jiang Liu asked in surprise.
"Yeah!" Jiang Ling's voice was also cheerful, "Sister sleep, let's pack up together tomorrow."
After Jiang Ling left, Jiang Muyan, who was soaking her feet in the same basin as her sister, frowned. A gentleman should be merciful and keep his word. His father was not a gentleman at all. However, Jiang Muyan is very happy that my sister can go out to play, "Let's bring more clothes tomorrow, and also bring the money, and let Jiang Ling help you keep it."
"Sister-really-don't you go?" Jiang Liu was very happy to be able to go to Quanzhou, but she still hoped that her sister could go for a walk together.
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "I want to learn the piano with my wife. I can't leave for too long, or when we come back, the second sister will overtake me. Besides, what if the dowry is stolen when we are not here?"
Mother's dowry aside, Mrs. Yazheng promised to teach them how to play the piano for the next six months. If my sister left, she would indeed miss this rare opportunity. Seeing that the second sister was making progress day by day, the stronger sister didn't dare to relax at all, and even refused to go out to play. Jiang Liu felt distressed and relieved, "Next time - stay at home - stay at home, sister - go play."
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "Next time we go together, no father, Jiang Ling...you can take it with you."
Ginger stay…
Knowing that Jiang Liu and Jiang Ling can follow him to Quanzhou, the brothers and sisters are envious, and Jiang Sanlang is even more noisy, so he must follow.
When her husband came back from the yamen in the evening, Mrs. Chen discussed with him, "Sanlang has suffered a lot in the past few months, and he has made a lot of money, so let him play with him? Liu'er and Ling'er can follow, more Why can't he be alone?"
Jiang Song knows where his wife's weakness is, "Mrs. don't know, Yan'er took out five hundred taels of silver from her mother's dowry and used it as road money for Liu'er and Ling'er, and her mother allowed them to go. ."
Chen Shi, who was worrying about her daughter's dowry, widened her eyes, "Why so many? How could the two children use five hundred taels!"
Jiang Song continued, "The second brother refuses to use the money left by the second younger brother and sister, so the mother asked Liu'er and Ling'er to follow, so that the second brother would not suffer and suffer because of the lack of entanglement on the way. If you let Saburo follow, Madam thinks that we are going out. How many silver taels are suitable?"
Not to mention silver taels, she didn't even want to give out a copper coin! But she has already promised Saburo, what should I do? Chen shi rolled his eyes and came up with an excellent idea, "Let Saburo eat and live with Ling'er and give him company, so that he doesn't have to book an extra room, Saburo has a small appetite now and can't eat much. , so we don't have to pay for the road, right?"
Jiang Song nodded, "Madam is right. If Saburo is willing to eat and live with Ling'er, the second brother will agree."
Seeing that her husband had agreed, Mrs. Chen happily called her younger son and told him the good news.
Jiang Saburo's face changed with fright after hearing this, "Mother, Saburo, don't follow Jiang Ling... Brother eat and live together! I want to live by myself!"
Why is this kid so ignorant! Mrs. Chen couldn't say it clearly, so she stared at him and said, "If you don't live with Brother Ling, you won't want to go!"
Jiang Song also said with a sullen face, "Your mother is right. One more thing, if you go out with your second uncle, you can't study well, and you can't keep up with the progress of the academy when you come back, and your father won't spare you."
Jiang Saburo looked at his father and then at his mother, cried with a "wow", turned his head and ran to his grandmother to complain, who knows by chance, the black-hearted Jiang Ling and Fat Liu are both in the grandmother's room.
After listening to Jiang Sanlang's words, Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything before Jiang Ling laughed, "Grandmother, the third brother can follow, but the grandson was still worried that if the grandson is not there, he will fall down from running laps and stretching. This is good. Grandson can teach Saburo well on the road, and he will also help him review poetry and books, please rest assured grandmother."
Jiang Saburo shivered after hearing this, while Jiang Liu smiled unkindly.
