61, hosta
"It's the beginning of spring, why is it still snowing?" Miao tightened the hand stove in his hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Miao also complained: "Yes! Yesterday the day was fine, but when I woke up this morning, I saw that there was such a thick layer of snow on the ground! This snow is bigger than last winter!"
"But it's not!" The hosta added hot tea to Xiao Miao's and said, "The slave is startled today! I didn't expect it to be the first month of the year, and it can still snow so heavily, it seems that all the plum banquets in Beijing this year will be postponed!"
Xiao Miao stared at the hosta for a long time, and the hosta was uncomfortable before she spoke, "The hosta is nineteen this year, right?"
The hosta blushed, "The slave will be nineteen in February!" After speaking, he hurriedly found an excuse and went out.
Miao looked at the back of the hosta and sighed: "I didn't expect her to be nineteen, I think she didn't leave her head when she came to my yard! Now it's time to let it out! If you don't mention it, I will forget it, she serves her very well, if someone else comes, I'm afraid I'm not used to it!"
Xiao Miao suggested: "Then just match the people in the house, and when the time comes, you can stay by your side and be a daughter-in-law in charge, can't you still serve you?"
Miao glanced at Xiao Miao meaningfully, "Have you taken a fancy to the hosta?" Tell me, who is it for? Talent is not good, I don't agree!"
Xiao Miao covered his mouth and smiled, "I know that I can't hide it from my mother, but the family that begged me is excellent, otherwise I wouldn't have come to my mother to speak for them, it's really a good family matter, and I can't be wronged by the hosta, otherwise I wouldn't dare to speak!"
Miao asked, "What kind of family is it?"
Xiao Miao said with a straight face: "Mother, do you remember Mrs. He who is in charge in the kitchen?"
Miao nodded, "Can you remember? She takes care of the food in the house every day, which is quite in line with me!"
Xiao Miao said: "Mother He next to me is her eldest daughter-in-law, a few days ago, she told me that her mother-in-law wanted to find a lovely daughter-in-law for her little brother-in-law, as a result, yesterday Mrs. He begged me, saying that she had fallen in love with the hosta, and wanted to beg me to help her say something." ”
Miao Shi groaned: "Since Mother He next to you is the sister-in-law of the He family, do you think you still know a lot about his talents?"
Xiao Miao said: "It is precisely because I understand it and think it is a good one to mention it to my mother." This He family kid is the old son of He Pozi, the old lady was gracious, so he didn't become a slave, he originally planned to let him study and take a fame and come back, but his schoolwork was mediocre, so he changed to do business, I didn't expect him to study badly, but he was a good hand at doing business, and he opened two shops in only two or three years. Such a person is to hire a young lady from a wealthy family outside, but Mrs. He thinks that the daughters of those small families are not as good as the girls of large families in terms of vision and knowledge, so she wants to ask for a capable girl in the house to be the lady in charge. ”
Miao said a little proudly: "Even if she has a vision, in addition to her appearance, in our house, the hosta is top-notch." ”
Xiao Miao complimented: "That's! Can the person trained by my mother be bad! So, my mother is allowed?"
Miao glared at her, "How can you answer her so easily? You asked her to bring that kid to ask for a peace in two days, and I will also help the hosta palm!"
"Yes, mother!" Xiao Miao happily agreed.
As soon as Xiao Miao's family returned to Xiyayuan, Mrs. He came to ask for peace, "The old slave greets the second lady!" Seeing Xiao Miao's face with joy, Mrs. He was very happy, "The old slave begged Mrs. ......."
Xiao Miao looked at Mrs. He fixedly, and said after a long time: "The old lady asked you to bring your kid to the old lady in a few days, remember to let him be clever when the time comes, and this matter will be done!"
Mrs. He was overjoyed, "Mrs. Xie's great kindness, Mrs. Xie's kindness to the old slave's family, the old slave can never forget it for the rest of his life, and the old slave will still serve Mrs. in the next life!"
Xiao Miao scolded with a smile: "Who wants you to serve in the next life! You begged me, but I helped you do it, and what I asked you to do, don't go wrong when the time comes!"
"Madame don't worry!" Mrs. He promised: "It's not that I'm boasting, my kid is really a businessman, and he keeps the Madame's shop properly!"
Xiao Miao was slightly relieved, "Then I'll wait, if something goes wrong......"
"Absolutely not!" Mrs. He patted her chest and packed the ticket, "Madame just put her heart in her stomach, and when she audits the accounts next month, Mrs. Custodian will be satisfied!"
Xiao Miao nodded, "I believe in you, I just want to say ugly things in front, it's okay if I don't make any money, if I still lose money, I'm not so easy to fool!"
Mrs. He made another guarantee, and Xiao Miao was finally satisfied, so she let her go down. As soon as Mrs. He left, Xiao Miao's was crooked on the couch, Cui Yao walked over and stood next to her silently, because Miao and Yao Chongming were angry with this Cui Yao, and Xiao Miao reused Cui Yao regardless of previous suspicions, Cui Yao missed Xiao Miao's kindness, although she is now an aunt, she is still serving Xiao Miao like a girl.
Xiao Miao looked at Cui Yao standing beside her, and was also deeply touched, so she took her hand and said: "You are still the most intimate! After so many years, the old people around me are gone, and the new ones are coming again, only you are still by my side." It can be seen that you are a loyal one, don't worry, I will not treat you badly, Brother Bin, I will also find a good way out for him when the time comes!"
Cui Yao hurriedly knelt down and thanked her, "It was the slave and maid who lost their minds and did such a rebellious thing, but fortunately, Mrs. is a benevolent, not only does not blame the slave and maid, but is also willing to reuse the slave and maid, Madame's kindness, the slave and maid are unforgettable!"
Xiao Miao helped Cui Yao up, "Look at what you said, I can't complain about you, the master wants to pull you to act, how can you shirk it? This is not your fault, don't blame yourself too much." Now that the children have been born, you also have to think about the future of the children, and don't mention the past!"
"Madame......" Cui Yao choked up: "The slave maid and the fourth young master are both Madame's people, if Madame has any dispatch in the future, just give orders!"
Xiao Miao waved her hand, "What are you talking about? Brother Bin is also my son, so I naturally love him!" As long as Cui Yao is loyal to herself, she doesn't mind being generous to that child.
Cui Yao wiped her tears, thinking about the He Pozi just now, and asked the question in her heart, "Madam, is that He Pozi really reliable? The slave maid's eyes are too lively when she looks at her!"
Xiao Miao sighed, "Although she has more eyes, she has the ability, and her little son, I have also inquired in private, is a capable person." I don't have many dowries, and I'm not a good businessman, so I have to find someone to help take care of it, otherwise where will I chew it, then He Yi is a good hand. Mrs. He has been in charge of the kitchen for so many years, and she has been fishing for oil and water, and I have passed with one eye open and one eye closed. Now that I have helped her ask for the hosta, I have inherited such a great favor from me, she will naturally repay the favor and help me manage it very carefully. ”
Cui Yao sighed, "It's still Mrs. who thinks about it thoroughly, but the hosta is the old lady's person, after He Yi marries the hosta, I'm afraid that my heart will be towards the old lady!"
Cui Yao is an old man who has served Xiao Miao's for many years, so she naturally knows that Miao's aunt and nephew are not as close as they appear on the surface, and if she is known by the hosta, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not tell Miao.
"No!" Xiao Miao was sure, "The hosta is not outstanding, so the old lady has no other plans for her, and sooner or later she will be released to match people, but the old lady is reluctant." The hostas are all people who are almost twenty years old, and the old lady doesn't open her mouth, but she is actually in a hurry! Now that I have chosen such a good family for her, she doesn't know how grateful she is to me! Otherwise, when the old lady mentions what is good, the hosta will not say a word of objection, and it is obvious that she hates to marry!"
Cui Yao suddenly fell to the ground for Xiao Miao's admiration, "It's still Madame who understands that Madame has helped the hosta so much, and the hosta will only remember Madame's goodness, where will she talk to the old lady! ”
Xiao Miao shook his head, "The hosta is ordinary, how easy is it to entrap He Yi?" I see that He Yi is a person with great ambitions, but the hosta is the old lady's first-class face, and it was personally asked by Mrs. He, and the first few years ago were fresh, and the hosta is estimated to be able to speak." After a long time, I'm afraid He Yi won't listen to the hosta! But I don't ask how long the hosta can be favored, just survive the past few years!"
It will be fine in a few years, and then she will have plenty of money, very rich.
Fang's dowry! Xiao Miao's secretly clenched her fists, she would definitely get it! Without the old lady, wouldn't there still be the Zhu family?
In this life, Fang's dowry was not handed over to Xiao Miao's to take care of, Xiao Miao's was quickly stretched, two sons and a daughter, she wanted to give them the best in everything, but she didn't have so much money, but she didn't want to wronged the child, so she firmly grasped the housekeeper Daquan and didn't let go, she would rather fight against the Miao family than give it up, she needed to get oil and water from it to support her children.
And because Yao Fangyu was angry that the Yao family repented of their marriage, Yao Chongming was embarrassed by Dai Shangshu, and his future was worrying, so in order to find a way out, he took a large sum of money and went out to do some work.
The housekeeper of the inner courtyard Miao did not fight for Xiao Miao, so she held on to the outer courtyard and did not let go, Yao Chongming thought he was a filial son, so he did not dare to reason with Miao, so he could only let Miao manage the accounts of the outer courtyard, and Miao paid him silver every month.
Now that he wants to take the silver to make a point, although the Miao family gave Yao Chongming a lot, it is still not enough, and in order to show his virtue, Xiao Miao's compared the Zhu family, gritted his teeth, and took three thousand taels of silver to Yao Chongming. This move naturally moved Yao Chongming, but it made Xiao Miao's family, who was already not financially well-off, even more strained, so she wanted to find someone to take care of her already small dowry.
Thinking of his meager dowry, Xiao Miao's couldn't help but recall Fang's long dowry list, as well as the several back cover rooms full of Yilan Courtyard, I heard that there was still a part of it on Zhuangzi, and the mansion was only a part of it. Xiao Miao's eyes were greedy, and he wanted to take it over and grab it in his hands immediately, but he knew that it was impossible, so he could only plan slowly.
