The two girls listened to the command, looked at each other, and were speechless. Bao'er remembered that the Liu family had forced her to serve Zhang Xueyan before, so she refused to leave. Zhu'er looked at it and said, "I'd better go, Bao'er is here to serve grandma." ”

Xia Chunchao nodded, and said, "When you come, remember to go to the backyard and invite the girl, and a tailor will come to measure and tailor the clothes later." There's a lot going on today, I'm going to make you, don't go out for a long time and don't come back. Zhu'er smiled and agreed, and then turned and went out. Here, Bao'er accompanied Xia Chunchao to eat without mentioning.

Zhu'er went out of the door, thought about it for a while, turned her steps, and went to the upper room first.

When I walked outside the door of Liu's house, I saw Changchun sitting on a rattan chair under the corridor, bowing his head and embroidering a small gown. She stepped forward and chuckled, "Congratulations sister." Changchun looked up when he heard the sound and saw her coming, so he quickly got up and smiled: "Why is my sister free to come?" Then he said, "I don't have anything good, my sister congratulates me." Zhu'er smiled and said, "I heard everything I said yesterday." Sister left this fire pit, shouldn't I congratulate you? ”

Changchun saw that she was really heard, his face turned red, and he bowed his head and said nothing. Zhu'er looked at the embroidery work in her hand again, and saw that it was a water-red silk short gown, on which half of the butterfly play peony pattern was embroidered. She recognized Sister Lu Hong's clothes, so she asked, "Before you passed, the girl sent the job?" Changchun smiled: "There are few people in the girl's room, and the apricots are small, and there is no one on the needlework." I'm going to get over it, and it's okay to start doing it earlier. As he spoke, he asked, "You came here today, but grandma has something to say?" ”

Zhu'er bowed her head and said, "It's your business, grandma sent me to sue Mrs. Sù." Changchun hurriedly asked: "I'm leaving, there will be a vacancy in this room, and grandma can find a replacement?" Zhu'er shook her head and said, "Why did you come so fast, your matter only came out yesterday, and grandma is not an unpredictable prophet who can pinch it." ”

Changchun frowned and said, "Then I'll go, there will only be one honeysuckle left in this house." She's young, she can't help, and no one can make up for my shortcomings, so I'm afraid that my wife won't let her go. Zhu'er giggled and said, "My good sister, you just love to worry." Mrs. has long thought that you are an eyesore, otherwise yesterday's incident would not have been pushed on your head, I wish you had left her eyes early, and you would still worry for her! Then he asked, "Is the wife in there?" Is it easy to meet people? Changchun said: "Yes, but the old lady is also there." ”

When Zhu'er heard that Lu Jiashi was also there, she was relieved and said with a smile: "That's good, there is an old lady here, and the wife can't say those bastard words." With that, he climbed the stairs and lifted the curtain with his own hands to go in.

When he stepped into the door, he saw Pauline standing on the door of the inner room, and when he saw her enter, he waved at her. Zhu'er stepped forward and heard one of them say, "...... Pulling out the radish is wide, and she is in the way here. She recognized it as Mrs. Madame's voice and stopped. Baolian said: "Grandma sent Zhu'er to talk." "As soon as he opened the curtain.

Zhu'er stepped in, only to see Lu Jia and Liu sitting on the kang, Liu's face was gloomy, but Lu Jia's face was kind.

She bowed her head and stepped forward, bent down and said a blessing, bowed her head and said the words explained by Xia Chunchao, and said: "Grandma said that there was a vacancy in the upper room, and she didn't have time to buy it for a while, so she asked Honeysuckle to top it for two days." When the matchmaker sends someone, he will make up for his wife. ”

Liu snorted and said, "She is used to being in charge, and she is a good person inside and out." After a few more mean words, he caught a glimpse of the look on Lu Jia's face, so he had to suppress it and said: "Well, that hoof is not good, since Sister Hong is willing to accept her, it is also her creation." Go back and tell your grandmother, and you don't have to get people from outside. The second girl of the spring sister-in-law's family who is on the stove in the kitchen is very good, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she is also clean and obedient, and she has no errand at home. Her mother and widow are unemployed, and it is not easy to pull the child alone, and she wants to ask her daughter to come in to receive an errand, which is also considered a lot of income. I saw the kid once, and it was very good, so I brought it in to make up for Changchun's shortcomings. ”

Zhu'er didn't dare to agree, but said: "If Mrs. says, I will tell my grandmother when I go back." This is a matter that must be shown by grandma. When Liu heard this, the fire rose again, and he opened his mouth to reprimand. I heard Lu Jiashi say beside him: "You kid looks clever all day long, why are you confused today." Your grandmother has always been filial, how could she refute your wife's words? You can go back and tell your grandma, and she won't blame you. It's not a big deal. When Zhu'er saw Lu Jia's mouth, she didn't dare to say anything more, so she only responded, and saw that the two of them had no more orders, so she retreated.

When she went out, Liu Shi said to Lu Jia's family: "Old lady, look, she will send a girl over to pass the word to my mother-in-law, the shelf is so big!" You are still sitting here, and her girl dares to refute our words, which shows that she is usually in the room, and she can't let the two of us go! I'm okay, old lady, you are the head of the family, and the family respects you. Isn't it disrespectful for her to act like this? ”

Lu Jiashi glanced at her with a smile, nodded and said, "Since you beat your sister's family to run away, you can say a few decent words." Liu Shi sneered, and said with a smile: "For no reason, I said what they did." Lu Jiashi said: "It's a pity that Karakuri is used in the wrong place, I don't eat this set." The boss wanted to collect Changchun, but you stopped her inside, and you thought she was bent on her granddaughter-in-law, so he regarded her as a thorn in his side and pulled her out. Sister-in-law Chun's daughter, who burned her face on the stove with her mother last year, still has a scar on her face, so you don't have to worry about it. What's more, you called that girl to come up, the errand was for you, and you were not afraid that you would not be able to buy her heart, so you naturally obeyed your words. Which one of these piles I can't see clearly? How dare you play tricks on me? ”

Liu Shi was speechless when he said this, and only after a long time did he smile flatteringly: "The old lady is sharp-eyed, which thing in this family can be hidden from your old eyes?" Lu Jiashi glanced at her and said, "You don't have to coax me with honey here, I know that you are still for your niece's business." Now that Brother Yong'er has become an official, it makes sense even if he accepts concubines. What's more, she has been in the Xia family for many years, and there is no news on the heirs, so won't it be possible for us to break off the Lu family? She is twenty years old this year, and she will be born in the future, but I am afraid that she will also be thin. People like us are always good at branching out. ”

When Liu heard this, although he didn't know why the old woman suddenly changed her mind, she was very happy in her heart, but she pretended to be sad and said: "The old lady's words are very true, but I have personally responded to the table before." Mention this matter again, don't you really ask your family to beat me up? Lu Jiashi looked at her and sneered: "You are not a licensed product, this idea stumped you?" Who can tell the truth about these drunken words? It's that she really made a fuss, you are your wife, who really dares to beat you on the board? Otherwise, she can't do it! You take care of it and let it go, and I'm in charge of getting things done. What's more, Brother Yong'er is a shameless child, and if he spoils the innocent body of other girls, can he still turn his face and deny it? When the raw rice is cooked and matured, she Xia will not be able to use it no matter how much she calls it! ”

After hearing Lu Jia's words, Liu's heart was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "The old lady is really smart, and the old lady has to be in charge of this family's affairs." Lu Jiashi smiled and said: "When I got up in the morning, I heard that Brother Yong'er left before dawn, and he seemed to have stumbled with his daughter-in-law a few words last night. It's a rare opportunity for you to tell your niece to be tight. No matter how much the adults worry about it, it will be in vain if she can't stand up at home. Liu Shi responded, and said: "Don't worry, old lady, Xueyan's child has always been smart." Lu Jiashi nodded, and said: "Before Brother Yong'er left in the morning, he told him that because there was something on the seventh day of the new year, he asked to push the treat to the tenth day of the first month, don't forget it." Liu knew the situation in his heart, and he was full of answers.

Zhu'er went out of the upper room and went to the backyard to see Sister Lu Hong first. Sister Lu Hong was sleepy because she was sleepy last night, so she just got up at this time and was combing her hair. Hearing that his sister-in-law beckoned, he immediately agreed, and said, "You go back first, I'll comb this hair and go over." Pearls turned back again.

Back in the room, Xia Chunchao had finished breakfast, was looking at the account book, talking to the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper, settling the accounts and sending chips. When Zhu'er came back, she saw that the room was full of people, and it was difficult to go up, so she stood on the side. It was easy to wait for people to disperse, so she stepped forward and relayed Liu's words, saying: "Mrs. is already optimistic about people, and said that she called the daughter of the spring sister-in-law of Shangzao to fill the vacancy." I said I had to ask my grandmother, but the old lady spoke on the side, and I didn't dare say anything. ”

Xia Chunchao thought for a while and asked, "Sister-in-law Chun's daughter, dare to be the one who burned her face in the kitchen last year and never came in again?" Zhu'er nodded and said, "Grandma has a good memory, it's her." Her name is Caidie, and she is fifteen years old this year. Last year, because of the fire in the kitchen, she accidentally burned her face, but her grandmother rewarded her with medical money and asked her to be a doctor. In the end, it was not good, and there was still a large scar on the face at the bottom. As he spoke, he pouted and said, "Mrs. just took a fancy to her bad face, so she asked her to come to her, so that the old man would not worry." Otherwise, who doesn't call the big girl in the room pick a straight face? Lift up such a person! ”

Xia Chunchao smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. 's thoughts, since you can see through them, don't say them lightly." As he spoke, he nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Chun is a widow, and it is not easy to carry two children under her knees." There was nothing wrong with the wife lifting up her daughter. Zhu'er hurriedly said: "Grandma! Xia Chunchao said lightly: "What's the hurry, there is still honeysuckle in the upper room, just ask her to stare at it." ”

As she spoke, Sister Lu Hong had already walked in. Xia Chunchao stopped talking, got up and smiled and asked her to sit. The two sisters-in-law sat hand in hand affectionately, and Sister Lu Hong smiled: "I got up late today, and I only got up when Zhu'er called me in the past." Sister-in-law, don't laugh at me. As he spoke, he asked, "I heard Zhu'er say that my sister-in-law called me here to cut clothes?" ”

Xia Chunchao said: "Yesterday I went out with your brother and bought a good scorched cloth. It's not hot, the fabric is cool, and I think about the two of us cutting a few clothes. It's better than a nail or a button-down shirt, and the tailor comes to measure it. As he spoke, he instructed Bao'er, "Bring me the fabric I bought yesterday." ”

Bao'er went to pick up the package, and came back to open it in front of the two of them.

Sister Lu Hong didn't look at anything else, and at a glance she saw the roll of grapes purple weaving gold makeup. She quickly picked it up and shook it open to take a look, only to see that the gauze was as thin as cicada wings, like smoke and fog, the color was delicate, and the gold wire was also pinched. My sister-in-law is really willing to do it, I am afraid that such a yarn will not cost seven or eight hundred yuan a foot? After counting through the capital, few can produce such yarn. Where did I buy my sister-in-law? As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chunchao, but saw that she was also looking at the veil, but her face was stunned.
