Qiu Niang is shy in her pocket, but she is thinking about giving her daughter a hairpin, but she has not been able to come up with the money, the first day of coming to Suizhou, the things on the stall are eaten once, but a little frustrated, if you talk about craftsmanship, Qiu Niang thinks that it is no worse than others, but the things of the locals are always the best at what the locals do.

They used to sell chicken soup and duck soup wontons, Jinling people love to eat duck, and the fillings in the buns and cakes love to use duck meat, as well as casserole wontons, and the soup is also made of duck.

Such ducks are sold in live poultry markets, and a duck's soup can be used for at least two days, and it is not profitable to use live chickens and ducks every day.

It's different here, the soup is made of dried scallops and ham, Qiu Niang has never done it, and I can't conclude whether it can be delicious or not, I don't make a living for a day, and I panic one day, even with the green calyx.

Both of them are used to hard work, no matter how much money they have, they will have a day to sit and eat empty, although Shi Gui said that they don't need to worry, they should first get acquainted with the things in the market, and the stalls and shops are good, but the two of them have only been idle for a day, and they can't sit still.

Qiu Niang plans more, her son still has to study, and her daughter has to buy a dowry, can she really not marry for the rest of her life? In addition to a pair of children, she also has to find a husband, and if she can find a master, she can't find a mother, and she has to support it, and she can't delay her after suffering her daughter for all these years.

She and the green calyx were worried, but Shi Gui looked at the account books for her in Ye Wenxin's house, and there was no abacus at home, so she had to do a pen of mental arithmetic, Ye Wenxin probed and saw that Shi Gui wrote a lot of things that she didn't understand, and she didn't care, just when she learned something new.

Shi Gui said while calculating: "The senior executive didn't ask anything, but that one stared at it and asked, I carried my wife out to block it, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji are old acquaintances, and no one in the family knows about it, but it is entrusted by Mrs. to take care of the girl." ”

It means that Ye Wenxin should not tell the Gao Sheng family about the two or thirty thousand taels of silver, and when they go back to Jinling, they will go to see the Grange house, since this matter is hidden from the second elder by the Ye family, it will always be hidden, and it is expected that even if someone knows that it is Song Yintang, he will not tell this matter.

Ye Wen didn't care: "Just leave it to you, you can do it." She was still thinking about Mrs. Ji's idea in her heart, holding her cheeks with one hand and writing on the table with the other, Shi Gui saw that she was distracted, and did not disturb her, so she frowned: "It's really going to be an errand, just thinking about it knows that it's difficult." ”

Shi Gui listened a few times outside the water pavilion, and knew that he was worried about the source of life, so he raised his head from the account book, thought for a while, and said: "These female workers are already very tired from working in the silk mill for a day, where would they think about coming to study again." ”

Mrs. Ji's method is a bit like going to night school, but studying night school is still for a diploma, for a better job, there is no such job opportunity at all, and if you don't have motivation, you can't think about working hard.

Ye Wenxin sighed, but he was not disappointed: "Of these girls in the house at that time, only you and Ruiye were the only ones who were willing to learn words, and the people next to them were just coaxing and playing, and none of them were serious about learning, because they didn't need to be literate because of their errands." ”

No one anywhere will use the women's tent, she sighed, put her face on the low table, sighed in her mouth, but her eyes were full of brilliance: "Mrs. Ji is already good, what does everyone Yan look like?"

Shi Gui was stunned, he really paid attention to his appearance at first, Mrs. Ji looked very graceful, her eyebrows were stretched, she was calm, she really wanted to say how she was born, she couldn't say it for a while, she could only nod after thinking about it carefully, she was born well, Mrs. Wu was also born well, especially a pair of eyes, which were so bright and terrifying, although they were sisters, they were different, and I really didn't know what Yan was born like.

Shi Gui finished settling the accounts and let out a long breath: "Most of the things given by Mrs. are objects, and the cash is folded into houses and fields, and there are two or three thousand taels that can be moved, so the girl doesn't have to worry about it now." ”

It also costs money to run a school, and the house and the field are fundamental, I am afraid that she will have a brain fever for a while, and she will invest all her net worth, Shi Gui said: "I heard that the official has a clean bank, and this money is the girl's school money, I don't care how to distribute it, but I can't move it at all, if it is moved, the school will be even more difficult." ”

Ye Wenxin pursed his lips and smiled, and reached out to pinch the tip of Shi Gui's nose: "I can save it, where is it so stupid, it turns out that I have also learned housekeeping with my mother, I am impatient with these, and I don't understand these at all." ”

I have to ask Ye Wenlan what he wants to do, can he just be a farmer here? There must be something he wants to do, and he is willing to spend his heart and soul to do it, and he will not live in vain.

After the two of them sorted out the accounts, they still had no clue how to learn, everything was difficult to start, Ye Wen thought that Ming'er still had to go to Mrs. Ji, and pushed Shi Gui to sleep: "You hurry up and rest, Ming'er still has to get up early, you have to find someone." ”

Shi Gui smiled, Ye Wenxin used to be inseparable from people, especially when he just came out of prison, he couldn't be too quiet at night, he had to be next to each other to fall asleep, a year has passed, he has learned everything about himself, and when he sleeps alone in Suizhou, he is not unaccustomed to it, but he sleeps more peacefully.

Shi Gui smiled, Ye Wenxin used to be inseparable from people, especially when he just came out of prison, he couldn't be too quiet at night, he had to be next to each other to fall asleep, a year has passed, he has learned everything about himself, and when he sleeps alone in Suizhou, he is not unaccustomed to it, but he sleeps more peacefully.

Shi Gui packed up his things and returned to the backyard, saw the lights on in the house, and when he entered the door, he saw Qiu Niang sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting, the house was still simple, but it was also neatly cleaned up, there was a set of four kettles and cups on the table, a low table was placed at the head of the bed, an oil lamp was placed on the low table, the cotton tent was hung up, and there was a square table next to her window, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it, and a small coarse porcelain bottle with two fragrant flowers inserted in it.

Rough tidying up, it's not interesting, it looks like a place to live, the wall is dusty, and there is a less wardrobe frame in the house, all of which are slowly added, Shi Gui knew at a glance that it was Qiu Niang who cleaned it up, and lived in one place for a few months, but she felt her preferences clearly, and her mouth smiled: "Mother, why don't you sleep." ”

Qiu Niang stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit down, even the hot towel was twisted, and she looked at Shi Gui wiping her hands and face, and stroked her cheeks: "I want Ming'er to go out to find your father." ”

"I entrusted the senior management, and also entrusted Bao Zhi, Bao Zhi's father is running on the dock all the year round, and all the merchant ships are familiar with each other, and he asks for us a question, which is better than a headless fly. "There are only four large wharves in Suizhou City, and even more small wharves.

Qiu Niang sighed when she heard this, she couldn't say anything to Xizi Lucalyx, and she couldn't say anything to Shi Gui, and lowered her eyes for a long time: "In my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to find your father." ”

Shi Gui was startled, and hurriedly hugged Qiu Niang: "How can I not find it, there is a name and a surname, I can't find it anywhere, it's just that it takes a little more effort, didn't my mother also say that my father did come to Suizhou, not to mention that it was with the official ship, and there were records, so I couldn't inquire for a while, and I could always find a way to check." ”

Qiu Niang sighed, before she came to Suizhou, she was indeed holding hope, and when she came to Suizhou, there were hundreds of boats parked in the port, and there were not many people on the dock.

Shi Gui saw that she was really discouraged, and hurriedly persuaded her: "If we can't find our father, he will come to us too." Stroked Qiu Niang's back, on weekdays, she only looked weak, but her heart was strong, and now she looked at her confused, and then sighed again, when she encountered these major events, she couldn't hold it down if she was on the side.

The mother and daughter were next to each other, and they decided that Ming'er would go to the city to find Wu Qianhu, Shi Gui was a little surprised, so he went to the door and asked someone who was not related to him, and he didn't know what else to think, so he was a little embarrassed.

Qiu Niang couldn't see it, and patted her hand: "In the end, we have kindness, and we can take care of each other when we gather together." Shi Gui loves to be clean, since he was a child, he likes to take a bath the most, boiling water and firewood, and he can't wash it every day in the summer, and she has to wash it every two days in the garden, the weather is hot here, the bath bucket has not been sent, and she has boiled water to wipe her body, and she feels at ease when she guards her daughter.

Shi Gui took Qiu Niang's hand and sent her back to the house, and said a lot of good things to calm her heart, Xizi stared at her sister with bright eyes, Shi Gui touched his head, knowing that he was dependent on Mingyue like a kind of fledgling, and told him that Ming'er was the door of the Wu family with his mother, visited Mrs. Wu, and then asked where Brother Wu was a soldier.

The next day he got up before dawn, and walked around in the yard, watching the chickens flutter their wings and jump into the trees and crow, from the sky was still dark, until the sun was getting fuller, and sat in the yard waiting for his sister to get up with his mother.

When Shi Gui pushed open the window to comb her hair, Xizi was already tired in the courtyard, her face was supported with both hands, staring at the sky in a daze, Shi Gui smiled slightly, washed and waited for Baozhi to come to the door, no one guided her and really didn't know where to find someone.

Ye Wenxin also got up early in the morning, Ah Zhen fetched water for her, she opened the box at home and picked out her clothes to change, the two of them had something to do, drank a bowl of porridge in one place, and went to the city.

Lord Wu lives in the Nine Lions Street, there are nine lions carved on the archway, all the military attaches live on this street, the piers in front of the door are round, like war drums, and the bricks are also punched holes to bolt the horses.

Qiu Niang prepared a gift, but also two kinds of ordinary snacks, because Qiu Niang Shi Gui is the first time to visit, but also prepared some Jinling rain tea osmanthus duck, sent into the door said that it was to visit Mrs. Wu, waiting on the door for a while, there was a girl to welcome them in.

Because it was a female child, the girl took them around the corridor and went directly into the flower hall, a few people were waiting in the flower hall, Xizi sat in a regular manner, and remembered in her heart what Shi Gui said to ask, they couldn't ask in vain, but Xizi was different, he stayed with Mingyue for more than three years, and he could ask in a reasonable way.

Mrs. Wu came out after a while, and looked at Xizi with a smile: "It's a little taller." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Qiu Niang, his eyes fell on Shi Gui, and he was slightly stunned.
