LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 210 1 Betrothal Gift
Facing the Yuan family members, Yuan Wenjing also looked helpless. Their own family situation is not good, so how can they find the spare money to support such a clan member.
"Everyone, wait a little longer and wait until Honghao completes the examination and gets an official position. Our predicament will be alleviated then!" Yuan Wenjing said.
"Alas!" Yuan Wenyuan sighed heavily, "The big exam won't be until May. Even if I get the title on the gold medal list by then, I still don't know when I will get an official position!"
"Stop complaining, I've taken care of everything! You all go back first and wait patiently!" Yuan Wenjing said impatiently.
Yuan Wenyuan sighed helplessly again and stood up, "Brother, there are more than a dozen of us families, and we are almost unable to open the pot. Look, can you spend some money to buy us some seeds? Otherwise, we won't be able to do spring plowing."
Yuan Wenjing looked helpless, "Hongjie, give your third uncle fifty taels of silver!"
"How can I still have money? I have no money a long time ago!" Yuan Hongjie exclaimed.
Yuan Wenjing snorted coldly, "Go and pay with your wife! She is in charge of so much of our family, doesn't she even have fifty taels of silver?"
Yuan Hongjie angrily put down his tea cup and went to the back to pay his wife some money. He came back slowly after two quarters of an hour. After so long, he thought Yuan Wenyuan and the others were gone, but when he came back, they were still there. He had no choice but to give them the money with a cold face.
Yuan Wenyuan and others took the silver and left.
"Dad, our family is already having a hard time, why do we still have to support them?" Yuan Hongjie said unhappily.
"We are all close relatives, so we can help if we can. Besides, we still rely on them to grow our farm, and Honghao is a good seedling. I have already trusted the relationship. He will definitely be on the list for this big exam, and he will be assigned an official when the time comes. There is another person in our family who has real power in the officialdom!" Yuan Wenjing thought further than Yuan Hongjie.
"I heard that Hong Hao said that Yuan Mochen, the grandson of Sanfang, was not only on the list in this provincial examination competition, but also the winner..."
"What!" Yuan Wenjing interrupted Yuan Hongjie, "Why didn't you say something so important earlier?"
"Then Uncle San removed him from the family! He is now an outsider to our family! Who cares what happens to an outsider!"
Yuan Wenjing snorted coldly, "Your third uncle is short-sighted!"
"Don't blame the third uncle. That boy Yuan Mochen didn't learn well, and his legs were broken. When the third uncle came to Beijing, he didn't want him to drag everyone down, so he removed him from the family! Now he With that girl’s clan on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty!”
Yuan Wenjing looked disappointed, "The two most promising people in the family have nothing to do with our family!"
Yuan Hongjie snorted coldly. When he thought that Yuan Chuyi had defrauded him of two pieces of silver, he felt itchy with hatred and secretly became determined. When Yuan Chuyi arrived in the capital, he would definitely get the debt back.
Yuan Chuyi didn't know that the people of the Yuan family still didn't want to let him go, and were still thinking about how to plot against him. She and Xiao Jing finally arrived at the capital city after nearly a month of traveling and traveling.
In the past month, I have traveled by car, boat, and encountered several robbers. I was so tired that Yuan Chuyi felt that his bones were about to fall apart. Fortunately, they took good care of Dabao and Erbao along the way. They didn't get sick and they arrived in the capital safely.
After arriving at the boundary of the capital, they traveled for another day. Finally, in the afternoon, the group entered the gate of the capital. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I opened the curtain and looked at the street outside. It was bustling with traffic. There were shops on both sides of the street, and there were all kinds of goods on the street stalls.
"The capital is indeed very lively!" Yuan Chuyi sighed.
"You have only been away from the capital for more than a year, don't you know these streets?" Xiao Jing joked.
Yuan Chuyi smiled and shook his head, "When I was in the capital, I rarely went out. Even if I went out, I would buy things and sell embroidery on the two streets next to my home. I have never been to such a lively street. !”
Xiao Jing held his son in one hand and hugged her in his arms, "It doesn't matter. Whenever you want to go shopping in the future, I will accompany you!"
Yuan Chuyi showed a bright smile, "Okay, don't go back on your word!"
While the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Why did you stop? Are you home?"
Yuan Chuyi said, lifting the car curtain and looking out, he saw the motorcade stopped in front of a large house on a secluded street. The two characters "Yuan House" were written on the plaque on the gate.
She looked at Xiao Jing, "Is this our home?"
Yinhe smiled softly, "It's not our home, it's the Yuan family! I know you are worried about Shififishiu, so I asked you to take them to live here first and settle them well. I will pick you up and take you back to the palace in two days!"
"Your Majesty is still thoughtful! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yuanchu got off the carriage and looked at the big house in surprise. At the gate of the courtyard stood an old man in his fifties who looked like a housekeeper, waiting with a dozen maids and servants, "This courtyard..."
Xiao Jing smiled and pointed to the plaque, "Yuan Zhai! Of course it is the Yuan family!"
"But..." For such a big courtyard and such a good location, it would cost thousands of taels of silver to get some peace and quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
"Don't think too much, this is just a small betrothal gift for my wife!"
Yuan Chuyi laughed. This man always thinks about things so thoughtfully. Even if he wants to give her a gift, he can still find a good excuse and always do important things for her silently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
She was both moved and excited.
The group of people got out of the car and looked at the yard. Fifteen and sixteen couldn't help but exclaimed, "Yuan Mansion!" They ran to Xiao Jing and Yuan Chuyi, "Brother-in-law, is this our home? Will we live here from now on? ?”
"Of course!"
The man who looked like a butler immediately came down with people to welcome him, "See you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jing nodded with satisfaction, "This is Uncle De, the housekeeper! Uncle De, this is the princess and the eldest lady of the Yuan family. This is the second young lady of the Yuan family and Mr. Yuan!" He introduced them one by one, and then introduced Yuan Mochen, "Master Mo Chen and Mrs. Yuan of the Yuan family will also live here in the future!"
Uncle De, the housekeeper, greeted them one by one.
"Let's talk after we get home!" Xiao Jing led them into the house.
As soon as Fifteen Sixteen entered the yard, he saw the flowers and grass in the yard and fell in love immediately. He ran and laughed in the yard, so happy!
When I entered the courtyard on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I was surprised. The courtyard was very big, much larger than the one in Xishan Village. When I entered the courtyard on the fifth day, there were flowers, grass, mountains and water in the courtyard, each with its own scenery. A yard like this can only be purchased for 5,000 taels!
"If you have nowhere to go before the college entrance examination, please stay here for the time being! If you need anything, just tell Uncle De." Xiao Jing said to the fellow scholars.
The scholars were delighted. This way, they no longer had to spend money to find a place to live. "Thank you, Your Majesty, Madam!"
Xiao Jing asked Leng Shuanghua to take the scholars to a courtyard to rest. There are more than a dozen rooms in the courtyard, and the scholars found the rooms they liked.
