The Ma family sent an invitation, and the wedding date was set for April 26.

Yue Yao heard the news and said with a smile: "In more than half a month, it will be a good day for the eldest cousin, and everything will be fine when the eldest cousin passes through the Mansion." "There is such a cousin-in-law, and she will have someone to ask for advice in the future.

Mother Deng also nodded again and again: "When the eldest young lady passes the door, the rules of the Ma Mansion will also be established, and the girl will be able to go to her uncle's house often." "Now the old lady thinks that the Ma family has no rules, and when the rules in the Ma Mansion are established in the future, go to the Ma family to stay for a few days, and the old lady will not stop it.

Yue Yao nodded, and Yue Yao was not worried about whether she could have a good relationship with Zhuang Ruolan. Zhuang Ruolan is a smart person, as she knows from the time she fought a tie with her stepmother. And she has no conflict of interest with Zhuang Ruolan, and for the sake of her uncle and cousin who love her, she will follow the Buddha's side.

After the buds went out, their eyes were red and swollen, and they looked wronged.

Yueyao looked at it and didn't ask what it was, Hua Bud was very loyal, but she also had a weakness, and this weakness was her family. In the previous life, because she didn't care about things, there was no involvement, but this life is different, and there will definitely be a fight if she wants to get out of Mo's control. Mo will definitely attack the people around her, and Hua Bud and Qiao Lan are the first to bear the brunt. Qiaolan is okay, at least she doesn't have a family; And the buds are different, so this time there is no intention of honing the buds.

Mother Deng didn't open her mouth to help intercede, this matter was completely caused by Liu Er's family's affairs~1~Ben~Read~Small~Say~ YBDU was unfavorable, and it was good that the girl didn't get angry.

Yueyao looked at Mother Deng and said, "This matter is just an introduction, let my grandmother know that no matter what I do, my aunt knows everything about it." Yue Yao knew that if she wanted to get her mother's dowry back easily, she had to make the old lady nod. If the old lady did not return her mother's dowry before she died, there would definitely be some entanglement at that time.

Of course, if this is the case, she will have to get these dowries back. She and Tingzheng's expenses are actually not low, there is a quota for food and clothing in the public school, and you have to pay for it yourself outside the quota, like her current small kitchen, in fact, it is not from the public middle school, she has to pay for it herself, and now her grandmother is making up for it, and she will have to pay for it when her grandmother is gone.

Of course, Yueyao's own eating is used to take away her grandmother's private accounts; Her father gave a quarter of the family property to her grandmother, which was actually equivalent to handing it over to the public middle school, and she was ostensibly spending her grandmother's money, but in fact she was just spending her father's money.

Mother Deng whispered: "Girl, I have a word, the old lady's health is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that she can survive until the end of the year at most." The lady's dowry and those people's deeds must be taken back by the girl when the time comes. "Yue Yao only mastered the deeds of Hua Bud and Duqiu, the personal maids, and the deeds of the others were in the hands of the old lady, and even the deeds of Mother Deng were in the hands of the old lady.

Yueyao was not worried: "Mom doesn't have to worry about this, even if my grandmother doesn't take the initiative to give it, I can come back." "Mother Deng and the others are all married by their mothers, and she will definitely be able to come back, as for the others, it will not be too late to talk about it when the time comes.

Mother Deng couldn't help but worry: "Girl, even if the dowry is returned, can the girl take care of such a large dowry?" "The girl is only nine years old, where can she take care of so much dowry, and if she really takes over, she will be cheated.

Yueyao had already planned to let her do business, but it would definitely not work: "Is the head of the grange loyal to his mother?" "If you are faithful, then there is nothing to worry about. If she is not faithful, she will change to a loyal one, and she will not worry about her uncle and eldest cousin.

Mother Deng nodded hurriedly: "Zhuangtou is an honest man, and I also have a good idea of how much the field produces, but the two shops opened by Mrs. in the downtown are a bit hanging, and the two big shopkeepers are both shrewd and capable people, and they will naturally be fine for a year or two, and it will be difficult to say after a long time." "Doing business is not like sitting at home and collecting rent, there are various reasons to say that you are losing money in business, and many girls here must not understand. The lady can be calmed, and the old lady can be calmed, but if it is a girl, it must not be calm.

Yueyao smiled: "I've also thought about this problem, I won't open a store to do business, and when I take over, I want to rent out these shops, and I only collect rent." "These shops are not worried about not being able to rent out in the downtown area, but the houses are better rented out. She doesn't know how to do business, but that doesn't prevent her from sitting and collecting rent.

Deng's mother was a little reluctant: "The business earns five or six times the rent every year, and it's a pity that this business just stops." "Mother Deng is Ma's confidant and knows the income from these dowries. The rent of a shop is only 2,000 taels of silver a year, but if the market is good, there is a balance of tens of thousands of taels per year, and the market generally has an income of 5,600 or 7,000 taels.

Yueyao didn't know that the two stores were so profitable: "Mom, I don't know anything about doing business, and when the time comes, these shopkeepers will deceive me, and I won't be able to." Since you don't have the ability to make money, it's better to collect rent insurance than to be deceived by them. Mom, there is a give-and-take, and only after giving up will the road be wide. ”

Mother Deng was a little ashamed: "It's a shame that the old slave has lived for so many years, and no girl can see it." "Indeed, having more money is not necessarily a good thing for a girl.

Yue Yao smiled bitterly in her heart, she was actually about the same age as her mother.

Hua Bud didn't tell Yue Yao about Liu Er, which doesn't mean that Deng Ma won't ask. Mother Deng got the news, and her face was a little unsightly.

Yueyao watched Deng's mother enter the bedroom, looking like she had something to say. Yue Yao shook her head: "Mom, wait until I finish practicing this paper." "Yueyao doesn't like to be disturbed by foreign affairs when she practices calligraphy and painting, and the effect of disturbing her mind is greatly reduced.

After Yueyao finished practicing the words, the maid spread out the words. Yue Yao cleaned her hands: "What's wrong with Liu Er?" Looking at his mother's expression, it means that Liu Er has committed something that makes his mother taboo.

Mother Deng told Liu Er and his wife about the matter, and the old lady only punished the two of them, and did not put them in Zhuangzi, what they did before and what they are doing now.

Yue Yao was a little surprised: "You said that Liu Er is still the same as his daughter-in-law." I thought that Liu Er would be angry with her daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect to still treat his daughter-in-law as usual. This is rare, and it can be seen from this incident that this Liu Er is a rare and kind person. It's just that no matter how kind you are, it's useless, with such a wife who can't hide things, it's okay to do inconsequential things, and the important thing is that you can't entrust it to these people.

Mother Deng also agreed with Yueyao's words: "Girl, in fact, the outer courtyard is not unavailable. The elder of the master, Zhao Chun and Ma San, are also loyal to the master. Zhao Chun's connections in the mansion are much stronger than Liu Er's. Ma San is placed on Zhuangzi, which is a little troublesome to use. ”

Yue Yao thought for a moment and said, "How is he doing in the account room?" ”

Mother Deng sighed slightly: "It's not good." "It's obvious that he is in the book, and the people in the bookkeeper reject him, how can he get better.

Yue Yao thought for a moment: "Mom, Tingzheng is young now, and he still needs the guidance of experienced people to take care of people." If Zhao Chun is reliable, I think it's okay. I wonder if he can do it? "Not only to be faithful, but also to have good character, both of which are indispensable.

Mother Deng said with certainty: "Girl, don't worry, Zhao Chun has been with the master since he was five years old, if he is not a loyal and good character, the old lady will not let him go by the master's side." The lord will not use it for so many years. "It's a die-hard loyal.

Yue Yao was not surprised by this, she asked Hao's mother before, and she had a rough idea of the situation between Zhao Chun and Ma San: "Then my mother also agreed to let him serve Tingzheng." ”

Mother Deng naturally agreed: "Girl, there is no more suitable person than Zhao Chun." "There were many loyal people before, but now there are many people who have defected to the big house. Mother Deng didn't tell Yueyao these words, for fear that Yueyao would be worried, but Zhao Chun didn't join the big house.

Yue Yao didn't think much about it: "Then let him follow Tingzheng!" "Ting Zheng is also six years old, and there are a lot of things to learn to support the second room. With Zhao Chun by his side, I believe that I can avoid many detours. Although she has lived for 20 more years, she is very poor at dealing with people and things, not to mention that she is also smeared about things outside, and she is also groping.

Yueyao naturally had to tell the old lady about this matter first, and the old lady agreed. Ting Zhengxian only has a little guy Ah Hai by his side, and none of his entourage is worthy. The old lady didn't mention it before, and it was up to Yueyao to arrange it. The old lady didn't expect Yue Yao to arrange Zhao Chun to be a long-term follower: "How can you think of Zhao Chun?" Zhao Chun was the youngest son's right-hand man, but when she came back, she was put in the account room, and she also turned a blind eye when she knew it. Because Zhao Chun is the youngest son's confidant, Fang Er will definitely not be reused. Now that Yueyao is using it, it is also suitable, but the old lady is faintly worried.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "Mother Deng told me that Zhao Chun has been by my father's side for more than 20 years, and he is not only loyal, but also knowledgeable, and I want to give Ting Zheng just right." ”

The old lady naturally responded to Yueyao, but after Yueyao left, she muttered in her heart: "This girl doesn't know how much she has done in secret." At the beginning, Yueyao used the uncle of the flower buds, not the people who used it by her son and daughter-in-law, she sighed at the time that Yueyao was so young that she didn't know that she could rest assured that she could use those experienced people. Unexpectedly, this incident made this girl enlighten again.

Ting Zheng felt that it was enough to have Ah Hai, but his sister said that this Zhao Chun would be of great use in the future and could help their sister and brother do a lot of things, so he agreed, anyway, it was enough for his sister not to harm him.

Since he gave Ting Zheng a long-term follower, he naturally had to ask first, and he didn't know him when he got it, mainly because Ting Zheng didn't know Zhao Chun.

Yue Yao looked at Zhao Chun, who was kneeling on the ground and wearing a cyan dress, he was about thirty years old, and his skin was a little dark. Seeing that their sister and brother were very calm, they were not a little nervous: "Slave Zhao Chun has seen the third girl and the fourth young master. Zhao Chun was very surprised that the maid said that the third girl wanted to see him, and at the same time he was surprised and looked forward to it. He has been with the second master for more than 20 years, and he has long been branded with the mark of the second room, and the big house will never use him.

Yue Yao was very satisfied with Zhao Chun's performance: "Uncle Zhao, please get up." ”

Zhao Chun heard Yueyao's title, and was shocked: "A slave can't afford to be called a girl." A title can judge many things, and Zhao Chun can conclude that the girl is ready to use herself.

Yueyao didn't go around the corner, and directly said her plan: "My father and mother have passed away, and now only me and Tingzheng are left in the second room." Tingzheng will support the door of the second room in the future, but he is young now and doesn't understand anything, and he needs someone to guide him by his side. I don't know if Uncle Zhao is willing to follow Tingzheng and teach him. ”

Zhao Chun didn't think about it and said, "The little one will definitely do his best to protect the young master." "The big house definitely doesn't have his standing expenses, and the second room is his way out. Now that the third girl is willing to use him, this is an opportunity for him.

Yue Yao was very satisfied with Zhao Chun's performance: "Starting tomorrow, you will follow Ting Zheng to guide him more, if he has something inappropriate, Uncle Zhao will need to work hard." ”

Zhao Chun naturally responded.

Yue Yao nodded at Ting Zheng and said, "Ting Zheng, did you hear my sister's words?" If there is anyone who doesn't understand in the future, ask Uncle Zhao more, do you know? ”

Ting Zheng nodded: "Sister, I know." ”

Yue Yao looked at Zhao Chun's back, even if Mother Deng said that he was loyal and reliable, it would take time to verify. After the betrayal of Gu's mother, Yueyao no longer trusts people easily, and only after testing can she know whether a person is really loyal.

Zhao Chun returned home and told his daughter-in-law about it. Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law was very worried: "The child's father, you don't know the eldest lady's plans." If we follow the third girl and the fourth young master, we will be against the eldest lady in the future? ”

Originally, the contact between Hua Pozi and Gu's mother was hidden, but Yueyao secretly let people spread the news, and shrewd people naturally smelled the cattiness. Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law naturally knew what the eldest lady was planning.

Zhao Chun recalled the calm appearance of the three girls, as if the three girls had changed when they came back more than a year ago: "It's going to be fine." The three girls are very smart and not so easy to fool. Judging from today's situation, the third girl will not be coaxed by the eldest lady, which is why he doesn't want to agree.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law was not so relieved about Yueyao, Yueyao's reputation was too big before: "The child is his father, the third girl is smart; But you also know that the third girl never takes care of housework, and I am worried about ......, "Needless to say, my husband knows what to worry about."

Zhao Chun also had such worries before, before Yueyao copied the scriptures every day, and the fourth young master was left in the corner without anyone to take care of him, he was worried; But now he was relieved: "Don't worry, I've seen the girl, and the girl is different from before." ”

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law was a little unconvinced: "What's the difference?" ”

Zhao Chun said with a smile: "The third girl has become shrewd, you will know when you see the girl in the future." ”

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law pestered the husband and said, "You are still turning this corner in front of me, hurry up and tell me what is the difference between the three girls and before?" ”

Zhao Chun said with a smile: "The third girl didn't bury herself in copying scriptures anymore, and now she is studying with Mama and her husband, and she frequently walks around with the Ma family." I heard that the eldest young master of the Ma family can be lifted, and the middle jinshi is also the girl's contribution, so the master of the Ma family and the eldest young master are very fond of the girl, and now the eldest young master of the Ma family has won the jinshi and has such a good kiss, and the girl will not be afraid of the calculation of the eldest lady with the support of the Ma family in the future. "The old lady can also look at the spirit in the sky.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law seemed to be like this when she heard this: "I heard that the third girl has changed a lot, and it seems that she has changed since she took the fourth young master to teach her personally." ”

Zhao Chun smiled and nodded: "Yes, the third girl used to be protected by the old lady who didn't know anything, but now it's different, the third girl has to rely on herself." Don't always think about how the third girl used to be, look at what the third girl is doing now, took the fourth young master to teach by her side, and then sent away the unfaithful Gu woman, and then sent the fourth young master to the Li family to study with Mr., and let the fourth young master become a sister-in-law under the name of his wife. This pile of piles cannot be a coincidence, I guess it was all done by the three girls. I don't believe in so many coincidences in the world. Zhao Chun followed the second master, and he was a powerful helper, saving a lot of family assets. But he has been with Lian Dongbo for so many years, and he knows too many things. Although Lian Dongbo is dead, Lian Dongbo will not let him go. If he is free, he will be used to bite Lianjia in the future, and Lianjia will regret it at that time.

There was a real case in the Great Yuan Dynasty, that is, a henchman was later released to hook up with outsiders and plot against the previous master. At that time, this matter was in an uproar, and after this incident, the general master's henchmen and advisers would not release it at will, just in case.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law felt that this was reasonable: "Yes, but since the third girl has changed, she has been very generous." When I heard that there was a shortage of maids in Lanxi Courtyard, I don't know how many people wanted to send their daughters to the third girl on an errand. Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law thinks that the third girl is too generous and doesn't know the hardships of the outside world.

Zhao Chun said with a smile: "The third girl has a lot of money, what's wrong with being generous and getting a good reputation." Daughter-in-law, you also know that my situation is special, and the old lady and the eldest master will not let me go. If we don't follow the second room, our current savings will be used up sooner or later, so it is better to follow the third girl and the fourth young master to have a future. ”

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law was worried: "Where does the fourth young master have any future?" "Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law is not at ease with Tingzheng, thinking about the nickname of the fourth young master before makes people anxious.

Zhao Chun smiled, and he couldn't refute this. The fourth young master taught that he could only keep it, and don't think about anything else.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law sighed and said to herself: "What the old lady arranged, I can only obey." "That's the pitiful thing about being a slave and a slave, not giving you the right to choose.

Zhao Chun smiled: "If the old lady wants to arrange where she has to wait now, when she goes to Li's house that day, she will arrange for her personal servants to follow." The four girls did these things too secretly, making people think that the old lady arranged them. The reason why Zhao Chun decided that it was arranged by Yueyao was because he felt that the old lady really had a heart, and when she came back from Jiangnan, she should arrange for the third girl to be with the fourth young master, instead of separating their siblings. The old lady, in fact, doesn't really fancy the third girl and the fourth young master, the old lady values the big house the most, after all, the big house is the future of the family. The old lady turned a blind eye to what the eldest lady and the eldest lady did. However, the third girl can stand up on her own, and the old lady is willing to help the third girl without harming the eldest young master and the second young master.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law believes in her husband: "If this is the case, you can ask Miao Er to go to the girl's yard on an errand, and there are still a few maids missing in the girl's yard." "Since their family is going to tie up with the second room, then send their daughter to the girl's yard so that the girl can rest assured.

Zhao Chun shook his head: "Don't worry, wait until the girl picks someone." "There are several maids missing in the girl's yard, and there are also a lot of maids missing around the fourth young master, so there must be a reason why they haven't been added. If the girl asks for someone, they will certainly write their daughter's name on it at that time. Now that he rushed to send it, Zhao Chun thought it was inappropriate.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law nodded hurriedly, her husband was in charge of their family, and her husband set the direction, so she just obeyed.

Zhao Chun thought of Liu Er's matter: "You have to close your mouth tightly, we have all learned a lesson from Liu Er's matter, don't let people take advantage of the loophole." "For Yue Yao to use Liu Er without him, Zhao Chun has nothing to mind.

When Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law heard Liu Er, she was a little worried: "We are the sons of the Lian Mansion, if the old lady passes, what should we do if our deed is in the hands of the eldest lady?" ”

Zhao Chun laughed: "Don't worry about this, I believe that the third girl will be more thoughtful than us." "If there is no deed of their identity, then their lives are in the hands of the big house, how can the three girls rest assured.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law was still a little worried: "It's the only way to go." No matter how worried they are, there is no way back for them to get to this point, so they can only continue to walk.

Zhao Chun nodded, saying so much, in fact, in the end, it was not something they could choose, fate was in the hands of the master, and they could only obey what the master asked them to do.
