As soon as Xia Chunchao said this, it was even beyond Wang Qiuying's expectations, and after being disappointed, his face came out. "It's just in front of everyone, it's not good to say much, but I just can't bear it, and I complain about her cousin in my heart."

When Wang Erhui and his wife heard the news, they naturally fell from the sky, thanked and thanked, and immediately signed the employment paperwork, and then took their daughter to say goodbye.

Bao'er sent it out, and Xia Chunchao said to Zhu'er: "These two are just down, they look like honest people." I don't think that Nizi is a good person, and her eyes are very flexible. I just said that I wouldn't give her an errand, but she seemed to be very unhappy, and I was afraid that she would not accept her cousin's affection. ”

Zhu'er handed over the bowl of tea and said, "The girl is right, Bao'er told me that day that her cousin wanted to come to the girl's room to find an errand, but it was her own idea. I thought to myself, this is not a joke, she is sick all the year round, and the girl is pregnant, how can she be better after a while? So I told Bo'er not to talk to the girl. Otherwise, will the girl agree or not? Yes, there are those bad ones. If you don't agree, you seem to have no friendship. It's still so vague. ”

Xia Chunchao scolded with a smile: "I said how did Bao'er swallow that day, it turns out that there are these things in it!" You're so slippery with your hooves, that's what you're talking about! ”

Zhu'er smiled: "It's not me who makes my mouth, the girl said, is what I said reasonable?" ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but you should also tell me to do it." ”

The master and servant laughed a few words, and Bao'er sent someone back. Xia Chunchao didn't mention a word in front of her, but asked, "Sent it?" ”

Bao'er replied, "Go, my aunt and uncle are so happy that they all call me to thank the girl for her grace." ”

Xia Chunchao smiled: "That's it, don't be in a hurry to thank you, I'm afraid that they will be busy in the future." ”

Bao'er said: "They do short-term jobs in the city, and the work is also heavy, and the day is not safe, and they don't have the money to earn." When I came here, the house was ready-made, the food was ready-made, and the girl was willing to treat my cousin, so why not be satisfied? ”

Xia Chunchao followed her words and asked, "What kind of disease does your cousin have?" All these years, it has never been good? ”

Bao'er said: "I heard my aunt say that when she was pregnant, she lost her recuperation, and she sat down in the womb and read (); The rebel son is reborn. When she was born, my aunt's family was in a bad situation, her diet was rough, she couldn't take care of her well, and she didn't get better after a few illnesses when she was a child, so she became like this. It's okay to be normal, but you can't catch a cold or be tired, otherwise you have to cough non-stop, and you can't even get out of bed. ”

Xia Chunchao nodded and said, "The disease in this womb is also difficult to treat. But even so, it is necessary to be well recuperated. Let her live with her father and mother with her peace of mind, and don't think about those ones. His father and mother are also doing the same work, not on her. ”

Bao'er couldn't think of those, so she nodded in agreement.

Besides, Wang Erhui's family left the courtyard of the Xia family, and was led by Zhao Shengcai to the outside of the house that Xia Chunchao said.

The family stopped to look at it, only to see that it was a small courtyard, and the mud tile house with two fronts was strong, although it was old. The yard is all dirt and there is a bamboo fence outside.

Zhao Shengcai said with a smile on the side: "Big brother and sister-in-law, let's live, although this house is not new, it can withstand the wind and rain." My family and I live in front of us, and if my eldest brother has anything to do on weekdays, just come to look for us. ”

Wang Erhui knew that this was one of the two major heads of the Xia family, so he didn't dare to offend, so he laughed again and again, and invited him in for tea.

Zhao Shengcai waved his hand and said: "That's it, now that the field is fighting, the work is busy, I still have to go over and watch." Big brother pack up, I'll go first. ”

Wang Erhui hurriedly took out some scattered silver coins from his arms, stuffed them into him, and said, "A little heart, please drink tea from Zhuangtou." ”

Zhao Shengcai seemed to have nothing, took it in his hand, and went away.

Wang Erhui's family entered the courtyard and hurriedly entered the room to store their luggage.

Wang Qiuying walked around the front and back of the house, and saw that the house had mud walls and mud floors, and there were some farm tools piled up under the hall, and the beds, tents, tables and stools were extremely shoddy, cobwebs were all over, and the couch was full of hustle and bustle. Thinking that he would live in such a house in the future, and the delicate cleanliness of Miss Xia's boudoir, the unwillingness in his heart became more and more intense. is full of complaints about her cousin Bao'er.

Wang Erhui cleaned up the house, looked back and forth, and smiled at him: "It's really a creation, and this year has caught up with such a good thing!" This house is enough for the three of us, a few rows of vegetables in the yard, planting some lentils, raising some chickens and ducks, and saving a lot of chewing in a year! The salary given by this Miss Xia family is also high, which is cheaper than going out to work part-time. This year, I was lucky to have bumped into such a good thing! ”

Wang Erhui said with a smile: "It's better to give birth to Xie Yixi's niece and daughter, isn't she remembering, this good thing will be our turn?" ”

Wang Erhui said yes and said, "It's late tonight, Ming'er, you go to the city, buy some chickens, ducks, vegetables and vegetables, and make a few good wines, and invite your nephew and daughter to come to the house for a meal." ”

The two discussed, and Wang Qiuying listened silently for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "I said, my father and mother think well, Ming'er is going to Xia's house to listen to Miss's orders, where is this free?" What's more, my cousin is a person in Miss Xia's room, and I am afraid that the errand is busy, how can I have the kung fu to come to our house to eat and drink? Even if you can come, people will eat and drink every day, which is rare! ”

Her mother said, "Autumn girl, what are you talking about, your cousin has never been such a person." I haven't had her help all these years, and I don't know what the situation is at home. At the end of that year, you were sick and had no money at home. If it weren't for Bao'er sending a few pieces of money, we wouldn't have been able to get through that year! ”

Wang Qiuying was tired of listening to it, and said: "I just said this, it's up to you whether you listen or not." My cousin is on an errand in the human room, which is unusual, how can she be called at will? Daddy Ming'er is going to listen to the young lady's instructions again and discuss the things in the field, how can there be any effort to enter the city? ”

Wang Erhui said: "Since this is the case, it is the same to bother other dealers to go for us to reads(); Double Soul War. ”

Wang Qiuying sneered and said, "Dad, this is just a joke, you didn't listen to the head of the village, now that life in the fields is busy, where is that idler!" Besides, if we are new to the city and are not familiar with the place, why should we send others? If people say a polite word in vain, you will be a needle, and you will inevitably be sincere. I think everything else will be put aside first, and the housekeepers of the Xia family should be good at taking care of it. With only one cousin, where can you go? She's just a girl, and she doesn't talk much. Something else in the future, we can't even hear a shadow. ”

After a few words, Wang Erhui changed his mind, and according to his daughter's words, he discussed how to buy gifts to make some favors.

Wang Qiuying said a few angry words, hugged her parents, walked back to her room, sat on the side of the bed, looked at the rough bedding on the bed, and was very unwilling, and secretly thought to herself: If she is really kind, she should recommend me to the past. She now lives in a spacious mansion, sleeping on a soft bed, and tells me to live in this place! There are not many people in her young lady's room, there are two girls in total, and it is not too much to ask for one, but to make four miles! It's just a matter of talking in vain, and even this strength refuses to go down. I have a chronic illness, but the news spreads very fast. I think she was afraid that I would go over, so she supported her nest, so she stopped inside. You can also hate my body, if you really don't fight, how can you be good?

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered an incident, and said carefully: Since Miss was brought back by the Lu family, she must hate the Lu family to the bone marrow, and if there is that incident, she can be angry. Although I don't know if my cousin went back and said it, after two days, I just went over and said it. If she doesn't know, I'll be a favor. If you had known about it, you wouldn't have done any harm.

At the moment, I made up my mind.

She was weak, and after this calculation, she was very tired, so she lay down by the bedside to rest.

The next day, Wang Erhui and his family really replied to Xia's house as they said, and discussed the matter of the flower field.

Xia Chunchao had breakfast, met the two of them in the hall, talked about the matter in advance, and said: "I don't know much about this flower and tree. You two are experts and have an idea. ”

Wang Erhui said: "If the girl asks, I will show it off." After that, he made a posture and said: "The girl is going to pick flowers and sell them to the fat powder shop to make spices. The garden is spoiled, but don't look twice. If the flower field is bad, it will not be able to be sold, and it will lose its capital. The girl wants to make money, this wood, rose, etc., are all woody, don't think about it this year, it's past the season. However, you can choose the seedlings as soon as possible, buy them back and plant them. The seedlings only need to be selected for three or four years, and they will be taken care of by the good students, and there will be a harvest next year. But this impatiens can be planted in all seasons. As long as we buy the seeds now, sow them as soon as possible, and harvest them three or four times before the winter. The girl has a lot of land, and she can collect a lot of flowers. ”

Xia Chunchao heard this and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is an expert, much more thoughtful than I thought." I only thought beforehand that I was afraid that the flowering period had passed, and this year it was not a seed, and there were still seeds. ”

Wang Erhui patted his chest and said, "The girl just leave it to me, and I will guarantee that the girl will take care of the affairs in the field properly." Before this winter, I'll pay the girl a few carts to spend money on! ”

Xia Chunchao smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this sales, you just need to do a good job in the field." You said that you should carefully select the seeds, you used to take care of the flowers and trees for others, and you must have known the merchants who sold the seedlings, and the matter of selecting the materials was also handed over to you. Later, I will have the money for you. ”

Wang Erhui hurriedly agreed, and Xia Chunchao asked some more about sowing, so he sent him away.

Because she first came to the old mansion, she didn't have time to be a chip, so she ordered someone to open the box to withdraw the silver, and ordered to take two hundred and ten taels to Wang Erhui, saying: "These two hundred taels are for him to buy flower seedlings, and ten taels of silver is considered the money for his girl to take medicine; Escape. ”

Zhu'er took the silver as she said, and came to say, "Girl, just give him this large sum of money?" Don't let people follow? ”

Xia Chunchao said: "The so-called employment is not suspicious, I think the two members of the Wang family are real people. What's more, he still has a daughter here, and he has nowhere to run. It's just that when I finished buying, I asked him to pay an account. ”

When Zhu'er saw that the girl said this, she didn't say much, went out and handed over the silver, and relayed the words.

Wang Erhui saw that he really gave ten taels of silver for the medicine, and he hugged the silver with a thousand thanks.

After sending Wang Erhui, Zhao Shengcai and Liu Dayou came in to report that the wheat and rice had been laid into the warehouse and sent running water in.

Xia Chunchao checked the accounts, so he had to go to the library to inspect it in person, and when he saw that the two catties were good, he thanked the two Zhuang heads.

When he returned to the house, his family came to report that Xia Ming was already waiting in the hall.

Xia Chunchao smiled: "What's the matter today, everything is crowded today?" So saying, he went into the house and changed his clothes, and went up to the hall to meet the guests.

That Xia Ming was sitting in the hall eating tea, and when he saw her come out, he quickly got up.

Because they are familiar with each other, there is no need to be too polite, but after greeting each other, they will sit down separately.

Xia Chunchao instructed his family to re-serve the tea tray and fruit food, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Xia is coming over today, do you have anything to say?" ”

Xia Ming said: "Say hello to the girl, the shop has been put down yesterday, and a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver have been used." The Lu family is about to be on fire, and they are anxious to wait for the money, and they are willing to sell it if I smash the price to this point. The things in the shop should not have been moved, but they just took off the signboard of the Lu family's dry goods store. ”

Xia Chunchao guessed what was going on, sighed, and said, "I heard that the second girl of the Lu family went, and they must have used the money for the funeral, so they were in a hurry to sell the shop." ”

Xia Ming nodded and said: "I heard about this, the second girl is a good person, she is cheerful and doesn't take a big deal, who knows that she just went like this, it's a real pity." ”

Xia Chunchao didn't want to talk about this matter more, but said: "Since the shop has been discontinued, Ming'er, you will go to the market to find a mason, repaint the house, and don't want the old furniture, buy a new one." It doesn't have to be good wood, as long as it's new. You've been in charge of the shop for years, and if you know what to use, I'll give it to you. When everything is ready, I still have some dry goods in the warehouse here, so I will take them first, and then I will see if I can buy anything from the merchants who have shipped the goods before us, and then I will set up the shop. ”

Xia Ming agreed one by one, and had to pay the account again.

Xia Chunchao shook his head and said, "Uncle Xia, I have always been at ease. These old habits are enough, let's wait for the shop to open, and then talk about it. ”

Xia Ming hurriedly responded, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he said goodbye and got up.

Xia Chunchao saw that the family affairs were going well, and he was also happy in his heart.

Because I thought that it would be okay to go back to the house, I was in no hurry to go back for a while, and I was sitting in the hall eating tea, when someone outside suddenly came to report: "The Lu family sent two people to see the girl." ”

Xia Chunchao was stunned, and when he got angry, he reprimanded: "Nonsense! I've already severed my ties with his family, so how could his family send someone to see me?! ”

The man replied: "Sure enough, it's the people of the Lu family, and they all walked around in our family in the past years. said that the old lady of their family meant to send something to see the girl. ”

Before Xia Chunchao could speak, Zhu'er said from the side: "Girl, why don't you call them in and see what they have to say?" Maybe...... I don't know what letter my uncle sent back? ”

Xia Chunchao was silent, and Zhu'er took it upon herself to say, "Go and call them in." Peerless Actress (GL). ”

The man answered the call, and after a short time he brought in two women.

One of them is the Wang family, who often washes clothes with Lu Jia's family, and the other is also the person commonly used by Xia Chunchao when he was in the Lu family.

The two men, each carrying a basket in their hands, came up to greet them.

Xia Chunchao looked at it coldly, and saw that although the clothes on these two people were not very luxurious, they were also bright, much better than when they were in the Lu family, thinking of the Lu family's current embarrassment, they probably understood what was going on, and immediately smiled coldly and said: "The two of you are better than when I was in the Lu family's housekeeper." The Lu family is not good, but it has fattened you. ”

Wang laughed and said: "Grandma said that she laughed, that is all the meaning of the top, and those of us below still remember the kindness of grandma when she was there." ”

When Xia Chunchao heard the word "grandma", he raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "What grandma! Let's make it clear, I have left the Lu family, and I have nothing to do with his family, the word 'grandma' will not be mentioned in the future! Otherwise, I will ask you for a crime of ruining the reputation of a good family! ”

The two women who spoke were silent.

For a long time, Wang said with a smile: "What Miss taught us is that we are all acting on orders. Let's talk about this matter below, and we all talk about it ridiculously, but what does it mean, how dare we say anything! However, Miss is benevolent and righteous, we still keep it in mind. ”

Xia Chunchao ignored this sycophancy, and only asked, "You guys came here today, what is the matter?" ”

Wang hurriedly said: "It's our old lady, thinking about Miss, Tetel sent us to see if Miss is okay." also explained to the kitchen, called the crystal sugar cake that Miss loves to eat. As he spoke, he handed over the basket in his hand in a panic.

handed it over, but no one was willing to accept it, so Wang was embarrassed and didn't know what to do on the spot.

I only heard Xia Chunchao sneer: "This thing is rare, when I was in the Lu family, your old lady never remembered what to cook for me." Why did you drive me away from the door and remember what I like to eat, and Baba made it for me? Why are you here to tell me a joke like a pug? ”

The two of them ate this taunt, and no matter how thick their cheeks were, they couldn't help but blush their old faces.

Wang smiled and said, "Miss, where are you talking about this, the old lady is really kind." Remembering that the young lady was weak and had worked hard all these years, there was no news when she returned home for a while. I also heard that the young lady moved to the countryside, and the countryside was hard, and I was afraid that the young lady would not be used to living there, so I specially asked us to come and see. ”

Seeing that they didn't tell the truth, Xia Chunchao sneered twice and said, "No matter how bad life is in the countryside, it is better than the torture he suffered in his Lu family!" I rarely eat two of her cakes! You will not say, "I have a lot of things to do here, and I have no time to deal with you." Before he could finish his sentence, he commanded his subordinates: "Send these two out, and throw the cake to feed the pigs!" ”

As soon as they agreed, someone came up and dragged the two women out, and someone snatched the bamboo basket.

The two of them had never seen such a scene, and their faces were as pale as dirt, and they pushed and shoved them a few times, and the bamboo basket knocked over to the ground, and the cake inside rolled out and stained the soil.

Zhu'er saw it on the side, clapped her hands and smiled: "You still say that you made it yourself, isn't this made in Su'an Shop on Changshui Street?" If you sell it for two catties, you can't eat it at all! It's nice to take out these things and give them away! ”
