18. Be a guest

Erhe didn't expect to go up here, but when he saw Shu Yierha asking, he thought about it and said after a while: "It's not impossible, it's just that this thing is not an elegant thing, and it has no legendary origin, I'm afraid that there are not many people who like it, even if someone buys it freshly, how much can it be sold? It's not worth the effort to work for this little money." ”

Shu Yierha thought that he could add some income to the family, and was suddenly poured cold by Erhe, depressed, and couldn't help but bring it out on his face, Xilin Jue Luo felt sorry for his daughter, and was busy speaking for her: "What the master said naturally makes sense, checkers are only a plaything, and literati naturally can't see it, but we are different in general, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are elegant, and ordinary people can't afford to bother with this, isn't it better to play checkers for recreation?" Besides, there are so many people in Beijing, three or five out of a hundred families buy them, and it's a lot, even if you don't look down on this little profit, you can also make a private house for Shu Yierha!"

Erhe originally softened his heart when he saw Shu Yier's face, and then when he heard what Xilin Jue Luo said, he hurriedly smiled and said: "What Madam said is very true, I want to be narrow, our family is not bad for this little benefit, and it is good to save more private rooms for my daughter, I will let people do it when I go back." ”

Shu Yierha was happy now, she didn't care how much money she could make, but she was a little frustrated that she had a difficult idea and was denied, and when she saw Erhe adopt it, she was naturally in a good mood, especially to be able to have more private money, which was even more happy.

To say that Shu Yierha is not short of money, she eats and wears everything prepared at home, and she doesn't need to pay a penny, and she has had a monthly routine since she was born, two taels of silver per month, and red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, and she has saved a lot of money in the past few years. Shu Yierha is not short of money, and there is no place to use money, she just opens her mouth if she wants something, and Xilin Jueluo will pay the bill for her, but she still feels that she has money in her hands to feel at ease, no way, the habit she developed before, she always has to drag things in her hands to have a sense of security.

Throw the matter to Erhe, Shu Yierha doesn't care about anything, in fact, she wants to take care of it, but it's a pity to let her intervene, let alone her, even Erhe won't come forward in person, he just took the deputy checkers to a small steward, explained the matter, and got rid of himself, but the steward is a capable person, and he is looking for a familiar workshop to order chess pieces, and he is looking for a carpenter to carve a chessboard, and he is looking for a reliable shop to sell, he even knows how to find someone to promote, and he is busy.

Since Shu Yierha moved out of the main house, Xilin Jue Luo has delegated the management of her yard to her, but there are only seven people under her control, a nurse, two big girls and four little girls, among which Mama Li herself also has the responsibility of supervising the maids, and there are not many things that need Shu Yierha to take care of seriously, plus although she is young and has a big idea, the green pothos and purple juan are supervised by Mama Li, and the two of them take two little girls by themselves, and they can't get to Shu Yierha for idle things, she is a rare leisure.

Xilin Jueluo originally had the intention of teaching Shu Yierha to be a housekeeper, and her own yard was for her to try her hand, and she was satisfied with her appearance, but she refused to praise lightly, and said to Shu Yierha in private: "In the past few months, the old lady housekeeper, you have nothing to do to go to the old lady to serve, see how the old lady is the director, when there were so many people in the old house, no one up and down can say that the old lady is not coming, you can learn from her old man's ability, and it will be enough for you in the future." ”

Shu Yierha secretly remembered that he was far worse than Xilin Jue Luo's in this regard, not to mention the old lady, she had seen Xilin Jue Luo's style of doing things for a few years, and she was familiar with it, and she could observe the old lady's means again, it would only be good for her, and there would be no harm to her.

What kind of character the old lady is, Shu Yierha can't hide it from her at all, and directly asks why she stays in her hospital for a longer time, Shu Yierha knows that she can't hide it, and she doesn't want to hide it from her at all, and bluntly said that she listened to Eniang's instructions to learn from the old lady, and the old lady was very happy, she didn't interfere much in her granddaughter's upbringing, she didn't want to have a problem with Xilin Jue Luo, but now her granddaughter is willing to learn, Xilin Jue Luo also agreed, she is naturally willing to teach her granddaughter, and then she takes Shu Yierha with her every day when dealing with family affairs, and also tells her some tips for dealing with family affairs, Shu Yierha listens to her experience and feels that she has benefited a lot。

After the Wanshou Festival, Li Siyu posted a post to invite Shu Yierha to go to her house as a guest, Shu Yierha packed up early in the morning, and took Mama Li and the pothos and purple juan out of the house, Xilin Jue Luo was not worried about her, so she let Zhao Mama next to her follow the formation, and added a few strong mothers-in-law to follow, plus a few small guys who followed the door, and more than a dozen people followed when they went out, Shu Yierha felt that it was a little too much, but Xilin Jue Luo insisted, and she could only obey orders.

Fortunately, after arriving at Li Siyu's house, the little girl and the mother-in-law were resting at the servant's place, and there were only two grandmothers and two girls who really followed Shu Yier into the inner house, she recalled that the last time the little girls came to her house as guests, there were also three or four people around her, so she was relieved, if she went out to be a guest and made it look like a show, it would be too boring.

Shu Yierha is the first time to Li Siyu's house, Li Siyu's big girl Jade greeted at the second gate, saw Shu Yierha, and said with a smile: "Fucha Gege is here, my family Gege is waiting for you, please come with the slave." ”

Shu Yierha asked as she walked, "Who did Sister Li invite today?"

Jade said: "There is no one else, just you and Zhang Jia Gege." ”

Shu Yierha breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she actually didn't like to stay with unfamiliar people, she felt uncomfortable, only Hairuo and Li Siyu were fine, and she could talk to these two, she was really worried that there would be too many people and she would panic.

Shu Yierha followed Jade to meet Li Siyu's mother Liu first, and then went to Li Siyu's residence. Li Siyu is the same as Shu Yierha, she is also a small courtyard of her own, but her yard is a little smaller than Shu Yierha, there are only three main rooms and two years of east wing, the main room is the living place, and the wing room is arranged into a study.

Shu Yierha took a small box from Mama Li and handed it to Li Siyu, and said with a smile: "This is a gift for my sister......

Without waiting for her to finish, Li Siyu hurriedly said: "Come here, what kind of gift do you bring, why is my sister so outside?"

Shu Yierha's eyes widened deliberately: "This is the checkers we played last time, doesn't my sister like it?" It was only done yesterday, I brought it to my sister, did it make a mistake? Sister, don't be angry, I'll take it back and ......."

Li Siyu reacted very quickly, and when she heard Shu Yierha say that she wanted to take it back, she immediately reached out and dragged the box into her arms, and saw Hairuo and Shu Yierha both smiling at her, after reacting, she smiled a little embarrassedly, her fair face was flushed, and she said curtly: "Since it is a gift specially brought by my sister, how can I take it back again, good sister, my sister just said wrong, you should not hear it......"

Everyone laughed, Shu Yierha naturally couldn't take it back, she turned her head to Hairuo and said, "Sister Hairuo, your pair of me will be sent to your house tomorrow." Hai Ruo smiled and thanked her, but Li Siyu was impatient to listen to their politeness, opened the box early and took out the checkers and set them up, and pulled Hai Ruo and Shu Yierha to ask for the next game, and the two had to play with her.

The three of them chatted while playing, listening to Li Siyu, Shu Yierha knew that their family only entered Beijing last year, Li Siyu didn't know a few people in the capital, and he was bored at home all day long, hoping that the three of them would come and go often in the future, etc., the three of them were talking lively, and a little girl who looked about the same age as Li Siyu walked in with someone, and said to Li Siyu: "Sister entertains guests, why don't you call your sister?" and turned to Shu Yierha and Hairuo, "I don't know which sister they are?"

Shu Yier was stunned for a moment, glanced at Hai Ruo, and didn't know how to reply, so he heard Li Siyu say in a cold voice: "Didn't you say that you were sick? Why don't you lie down in the house and run around again?

As soon as the little girl's eyes were red, tears fell, and as soon as she wanted to open her mouth to speak, two grandmothers walked in the door, and the two of them first apologized to Hairuo and Shu Yierha, and Fang pulled the little girl out with half help and half drag. Shu Yierha felt a little embarrassed, as if she saw the privacy of other people's homes, she hurriedly said: "Sister Li, it's a little boring to sit in the house, why don't we go to the yard and take a look?"

Hairuo hurriedly agreed, Li Siyu's face turned red, and he reluctantly smiled at the two, and said: "Let you see the joke, it was my sister-in-law just now, she is young and ignorant, I will accompany her, please don't be weird......"

The two of them hurriedly said that they didn't care, and started another topic to chat, Li Siyu saw that their attitude had not changed, and felt better, trying to be that person had never appeared, and sat at the stone table in the courtyard with the two, and deliberately said in a brisk tone: "It's a pity that our family doesn't have a garden, so I can only grieve you to see the scenery of my yard......"

Hai Ruo hurriedly smiled and said: "You still have a yard, I will invite you to my house to play in a few days, then we can only sit in my house, that is wronged you!"

Shu Yierha said: "Look at what the sisters said, I came to my sister's house to see people, what is the importance of the size ......of the place? If the sisters really think so, I won't dare to invite you to my house in the future, as if I am showing off."

Hairuo and Li Siyu both laughed and begged for mercy, Shu Yier pretended to be angry and ignored them, and the three of them laughed for a while, and then the little episode that had just happened was over, and the atmosphere finally recovered as before.
