"Old lady, my niece has asked people to tidy up the nearby house this afternoon. Can Baochai come over the next day to be taught?" Aunt Xue hurriedly came over and looked at Ou Mengmeng timidly. The meaning is very clear. Even if the old lady didn't ask Baochai, Sanchun and the others to study together, she still wanted to use the old lady's reputation as the Duke's wife to add some weight to her daughter.
"Let her try it out these few days to see how she learns at home. If the level is different, then there is no need to come every other day, but come once every ten days and a half to share her learning ethics with Sanchun and Daiyu and make progress together. "Ou Mengmeng nodded. Although she didn't want the Xue family to come and live with her, it didn't seem right to reject Baochai. She couldn't be a teacher, so she couldn't resist rejecting a child. ..
"Thank you, old lady." Aunt Xue thanked her hurriedly, as long as the old lady didn't refuse.
"Okay, okay, we are all relatives. I won't be polite to you anymore. It's time for me to take a walk. Everyone can help themselves." Ou Mengmeng saw the chiming bell ringing and stood up hurriedly. For these idiots, she really couldn't be bothered to deal with them. After being polite for a long time, it was finally over.
"Aunt and mother, let's talk to aunt later." Yuan Chun quickly stood up and supported Ou Mengmeng.
Ou Mengmeng smiled at her and turned out on her own.
"Sister..." Aunt Xue looked outside.
"Grandma has to walk briskly for half an hour at this time every day so that she can sleep well at night. Usually her eldest sister will accompany her, so aunt should not worry about it." Daiyu hurriedly came over and bowed to Aunt Xue and explained.
"Miss Lin is so kind, thank you." Aunt Xue was not that ignorant. She quickly hugged Daiyu into her arms, looked at her, and sighed softly, "When your mother was young, she was the strongest among us. She is outstanding, but I didn’t expect that she would be the first to leave.”
"Mom!" Baochai hurriedly said to stop her. She felt the same way. If someone hugged her now and said they knew her father, she would be in pain.
Daiyu smiled at Baochai, stood up, bowed to Aunt Xue, and left with Sanchun.
"Why don't you invite your aunt to sit down at Jiangyunxuan." Baochai looked back at her mother, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang, and smiled hurriedly.
When I came out, I saw the old lady walking with great strides. She looked very energetic.
"The old lady is really energetic." Aunt Xue said hurriedly.
"Yeah, I'm dead, but she's still alive." Mrs. Wang looked coldly at Yuan Chun, who was following the old lady. Both of them took long steps, but their postures turned out to be pretty good-looking. The two of them walked in big steps. It looks like they are holding their heads high, but their attitude is calm, and they are talking while walking. It seems that the two of them are really harmonious. This harmonious smile dazzled Mrs. Wang. She's obviously her daughter!
Aunt Xue didn't dare to speak anymore, and took Mrs. Wang to Qiantou Jiangyunxuan. This was originally Baoyu's study room. The place was big enough for their mother and daughter.
When they went to Jiangyunxuan, Ou Mengmeng and Yuan Chun also saw it, but they didn't stop.
"What does the second room in the Xue family mean? Why did grandma ask them specifically?" Yuan Chun wanted to ask just now, but after a busy day, it was only now that he was really free.
"The two families of the Xue family are not separated. The second family is doing business with his wife and children. In fact, he is just traveling around the mountains and rivers. He behaves like a scholar. He has no share in making money and is the first to spend money. Of course, the second family is not real either. It is completely useless, because he is good at life and has the qualities of a scholar. The people who deal with officials from all over the country are the second master. Otherwise, his daughter can be promised to Mei Hanlin's son. But now the first master and the second master have died together, you are so If you are smart, you should know what is going on." Ou Mengmeng smiled lightly.
"Then this house is in some trouble!" Yuan Chun was startled and said hurriedly.
"Yes, but what can we do, kill all the six people in the two houses? So the two old men of the Xue family are also smart. When they saw that something was wrong, they immediately committed suicide and probably cleaned up everything. Let's kill Xue now The three members of the family have arranged it. As your uncle and I told you, the Xue family is the weakest link among the four families. If you don’t want to kill people and make money, you have to make up for them." Ou Mengmeng said as she thought about it.
"You just talked about the second wife's marriage, so do you think there has been a change in the second wife's marriage?" Yuanchun already knew his grandmother very well.
"You heard me say that you want to kick the Xue family out, but she is still your own aunt! Why should the Mei family take this risk?
. Besides, although it is said that a daughter from a high family should marry a woman and a woman from a low family should marry a woman, it is still inappropriate for the Mei family and the Xue family. I just hinted that you can hear it, but your Aunt Xue must not be able to hear it, so you take the time to ask your uncle to inquire and see how this family is doing. of. "Ou Mengmeng really doesn't remember whether the marriage between Bao Qin and Mei Hanlin's family has been completed. But based on her many years of social experience, this matter is quite risky. Getting a job is not a business. Now that the Xue family is a wealthy country with a lot of land, it will be even harder to get married.
"Not necessarily. If the Mei family is a good person, marriage is not a problem. After all, you also said that the Xue family cut off contact, the two committed suicide, and buried the matter. You immediately and decisively asked the Xue family to withdraw from the family management and hand over The qualification to return to the inner government to do business, and throwing Xue Pan to the northwest, solved a big hidden danger for the Xue family. Now the Xue family is a big landowner, and their status is higher than before. When the dowry is large, what does the Mei family dislike? "Looking back, my uncle has chosen a good family for Baochai. The Mei family looks at these in-laws. Every time they add a new level of in-laws, the weight of their family becomes more important." Yuan Chun thought about it and said.
"That's right. You should pay attention to Baochai. His rules are too bad. He has a ruler in his eyes. Look at people first and estimate them first. Then you can say that he was raised by me personally. I can't afford to lose this person." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly, She still has a good eye for people, and she has really spent all these years as the principal of an elementary school. "And that cousin, if the girl in the first bedroom is like this, I don't know what will happen to the girl in the second bedroom. It's really sad."
"Okay, I'm still young, I still have time." Yuan Chun sighed and thought about it, "The Wang family's upbringing is really a problem, mother and aunt... ugh!"
"Alas!" Ou Mengmeng also shook her head. She really couldn't reply to this. Think about it, "Tell me, do you want the Xue family to give the second wife a separate one? After all, the second wife has a son and a daughter, and Xue will be the one after all. My wife takes care of it. What should be distributed to the children has been distributed early. I am also a daughter-in-law, and I heard that the female teachers in the second room are very good."
Ou Mengmeng's idea is very simple. If the property can be separated, don't put it in one basket. No matter how much Xue Pan loses, he can only lose his own. As for the separation of property, Aunt Xue can at least make her nephew and daughter feel comfortable and have a good face in the future. Of course, this was what she thought as an outsider in the Red Mansion, and she didn’t know if these people in the Red Mansion would listen.
Yuanchun lowered his head and thought, the second wife also had a son and a daughter. No matter what happened, Aunt Xue would definitely have to take care of them. It is better to take advantage of the abundant money and share it early, firstly, to buy people's hearts, and secondly, to share risks. When Xue Pan's share is finished, it will not affect other children, nor will it affect Aunt Xue's retirement.
