Chapter 1083 The Exterminated Cousin 21
An Ran was surprised to see how quickly he found a match for himself after talking to the old lady. Then he thought about it and figured out that in the original world, the original person had not mentioned to Mrs. Wu that she should look for him.
As for the marriage, if Mrs. Wu took the initiative to find a marriage for the original person, it would naturally be a long time later, not so soon.
After thinking about it, An Ran happily said: "Thank you grandma for helping me find a marriage."
Mrs. Wu said: "Are you willing to meet the conditions of this partner? I have to make it clear to you that although the clan can live a very peaceful life, future generations will not be able to participate in the imperial examination unless they become common people and have a title, and they only have a few points.
A death salary is not like being a butcher for an official. You have other income, and you don’t have much power. In other words, you may not be rich or powerful in the future.”
An Ran said: "I listen to the old lady, and the one she chooses will definitely not be bad."
Even if it's not good, it doesn't bother her. She won't be afraid of him anyway.
"As for the clan, I have no objection."
She didn't want to be rich and powerful, she just needed to leave the Wu family, a place of right and wrong. Moreover, she originally wanted to be safe, so it was just right to marry into a family like the clan, which was not prone to trouble.
Seeing that An Ran trusted her so much, Madam Wu felt very pleased and couldn't help but said happily: "Since you are willing, fine, I will tell the man that they will come over to propose marriage one day."
Just as Mrs. Wu was communicating with the man, Mrs. Wu had already begun to poison An Ran.
It’s no wonder that Mrs. Wu didn’t know that Mrs. Wu was choosing a husband for An Ran, because Mrs. Wu saw that the matter hadn’t been completed yet, so naturally she wouldn’t tell anyone about it, lest it affect Enron’s reputation if it didn’t happen.
And precisely because Mrs. Wu did not disclose the matter before it happened, Mrs. Wu was still worried that Mrs. Wu still wanted to marry An Ran to her son, so she committed such a murderous act.
Of course, even if Mrs. Wu didn't want to marry An Ran to her son, she would still kill her. The reason is very simple - she doesn't want to pay back An Ran's one million taels of silver.
Although she told Wu Yuanniang at the time that the one million taels of silver was spent for the glory of the family, not for the second wife, so the family should repay it, not her, but she knew that the money had to be repaid.
, the family is afraid that they will not repay it, and even if they do, they will only repay a small part. The bulk of it still requires her to pay it back, and she naturally does not want to hand over the private house that the head of the family has saved for many years to An Ran. She originally arranged a wedding for her daughter.
She had not even paid a penny out of the villa, and it was even more impossible for her to give her private house to an outsider like An Ran in order to repay the money - not to mention repaying it with the money from her second landlord, who had no money at all.
She didn't want to pay back the money, just because she was afraid that someone would say her family was shameless. To prevent someone from saying that, An Ran had to die. Only by dying would she not have to worry about someone criticizing her family's behavior from a moral standpoint.
——But what she never expected was that An Ran had seen her every move, and she didn't know that she asked people around An Ran to replace An Ran's tea leaves with tea leaves sprinkled with poison powder. In the future, An Ran would
Will slowly weaken and die. In fact, An Ran secretly spilled the poison into her own tea can. What she drinks every day now is the tea with the poison she found from Wu Yuanniang; and she had someone pour it in.
The thing inside the Anron tea can is the harmless medicinal powder that Anron put in after mixing the bag.
Not to mention that Mrs. Wu is seeking her own destruction, but that it will soon be time for Mrs. Wu to get married.
While Mrs. Wu was preparing the dowry for Wu Erniang, An Ran and other sisters also came to give Wu Erniang more dowry.
Cui Zhenzhu, Wu Sanniang and others all gave Wu Erniang a piece of jewelry. On the surface, An Ran also gave Wu Erniang a piece of jewelry, just like everyone else. However, due to her close relationship with Wu Erniang, An Ran secretly gave Wu Erniang a red gold head and face.
This kind of headgear is very valuable, which is completely different from the value of a piece of jewelry. It can be worn on a daily basis, but when money is tight, it can also be made into gold. It costs several hundred taels of silver.
Wu Erniang couldn't help being surprised when she saw it, and said hurriedly: "Why do you give so much? You have to use it yourself."
An Ran smiled and waved his hand, saying: "You can just take it, I still have it over there, you don't have to worry."
In recent years, Anron's private property has not only been reduced, but also increased a lot. In addition to the money given by the government, it is mainly because the old lady has given a lot to Anron.
The old lady had a lot of private houses, and she felt guilty that the government had spent all her property, so she used the private houses to subsidize her from time to time. Over the years, she always had a subsidy of tens of thousands taels, even though the Wu family had embezzled her property.
There is a difference in quantity, but it’s not bad to be able to get back some money.
Because she is very close to An Ran, Wu Erniang knows that An Ran has saved almost one hundred thousand taels for a private house. This appearance is indeed nothing to An Ran, but it belongs to others, and she can't do it just because he has such a good reputation.
What a good thing, I feel that it is right for others to give me so much.
So when An Ran said this, Wu Erniang solemnly thanked her. After all, many people in the house had much more private houses than An Ran, and no one gave her a good reputation. For example, her sister-in-law and the head of the household, Mrs. Wu Erniang, only
I gave her a pair of bracelets, which looked like a lot on the surface, but...she prepared a dowry and a wedding banquet for herself, but she didn’t know how much she took away.
Wu Erniang is just cowardly, not stupid. She naturally knows that Wu Erniang has made a lot of money from the house for her dowry.
Even if she doesn't know, the nuns around her will tell her the price of something, and then she can calculate how much her dowry is worth. Anyway, it's not worth ten thousand taels - the house gives every girl
The dowry money is ten thousand taels.
Although she knew it in her heart, she didn't dare to mention it to Mrs. Wu, so she could only understand it in her heart.
It was this understanding that Wu Erniang knew how good An Ran was to her - so as the saying goes, good and bad are all determined by comparison.
After Wu Erniang got married, Wu Sanlang was the oldest among the remaining people, so Wu Erniang found a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Cui family on her behalf.
Cui Zhenzhen was nearly eighteen years old at this time. After the last happy incident, Cui Zhenzhen also tried to find a marriage for Cui Zhenzhu in a noble family in Beijing, but failed.
Unable to do anything, the Cui family gave in and targeted Wu Sanlang. So when they saw Mrs. Wu officially proposed marriage to Wu Sanlang, the Cui family agreed.
The Cui family agreed, but Wu Sanlang made a fuss - he was unwilling to marry Cui Zhenzhu.
Although he also likes Cui Zhenzhu, he likes Fang Anran more, because cousin Fang will never let him do this or that, and cousin Cui sometimes likes to urge him to make progress, and secretly wants him to take the imperial examination.
