Brother Miao listened to Yingluo's instructions and was about to jump out of the car, the cloud embroidery outside kowtowed and stood up, Yingluo looked out through the car window, but saw that she was only wearing an old cotton coat, under the background of the glass lamp hanging in the corner of the carriage, the clothes were thin, and many places were washed white.

The sideburns were also slightly messy by the cold wind, the fingers were white, the lips were white and purple, but the cheeks were a little unnaturally flushed, Yingluo frowned and said, "Do you have a fever?" ”

The Yunshui embroidery said in a loud voice, obviously anxious that she couldn't do it, Yingluo didn't say more, only reached out and handed the cloak that she had just taken off next to her to Brother Miao, who jumped out of the carriage, and said, "Take a little maid and let me help with one or two, and put this cloak on her." ”

Brother Miao responded crisply, took the cloak, Yun Shuixiu heard the words but tears flowed down, choked and waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'm fine, how dare I wear such a valuable cloak as a girl, the girl met me in Pingshui, and I am grateful for being kind enough to lend me money to save the emergency." ”

Yingluo said: "Wear it, no matter how expensive the clothes are, no one matters." ”

Yun Shuixiu heard this, tears flowed down again, but he didn't refuse, and Brother Miao wrapped the mink fur cloak around his body.

Yingluo's self-earnest feelings are still visible, this cloud embroidery is full of true feelings, fake is fake after all, it is impossible to have no flaws, no clues. Maybe there will really be people in the world who do fake tricks without flaws, but this kind of person is too few after all, and he is only afraid that he can't do it if he is not old, and he looks fifteen or sixteen like Yun Shuixiu, and he can't reach that height, this girl is really in trouble.

What's more, she said that her sister-in-law had a difficult birth, and her little nephew was not very good.

This girl should not have been discovered and used to harm herself, since she knows this, Yingluo will naturally not be stingy with these silver things, she still has to help those who can help her, and there will be good rewards for saving people and doing good deeds, and she can feel at ease.

Outside, Brother Miao went with Yunshui embroidery, and Yingluo closed the car door and went to the general's mansion. She has always lived in Wang Xueyao's Xueyue Courtyard in the General's Mansion, and this time is no exception, the two of them are tired after a day of tossing, and they will rest heavily when they go back.

The next day, Yingluo opened her eyes and looked through the blue water and silk yarn, but saw a bright golden light in the room, and the veil in front of the bed was transparent, and it was a sunny day.

These days, the sky is overcast, the snow is constantly falling, it is rare to have a sunny day, Yingluo can't help but be shocked, a grunt sat up, kicked off the quilt and picked up the bed tent. Outside the house, Jiao'er heard the movement and hurriedly walked in, smiled and stepped forward to take the gauze tent in Yingluo's hand and hung it on the lotus twisted wire copper hook, and took the clothes to wait for Yingluo to get up, and said with a smile: "It's a good day, the girl should also wear brighter, and Mrs. Tai is also happy to see it." ”

Yingluo nodded and said with a smile: "But Mrs. Tai is exempt from asking for peace?" ”

Jiao'er squatted down to stroke the hem of Yingluo's clothes, and said in a crisp voice: "But isn't it, before dawn in the morning, the sister of the General's Mansion came over and instructed the slaves and maids not to wake up the girls, saying that they were tired from riding in the carriage yesterday, and the girls are all at the age of long bodies and snooze, so don't ask the slaves and maids to wake up the girls." Mrs. Tai treats the girl really no worse than her own granddaughter. ”

Jiao'er is Yingluo's second-class maid, and she is also Yingluo's own person who arranged to enter the Hou Mansion before, and there are Shuangxing in the Ding'an Hou Mansion on weekdays, and Yingluo doesn't need her to serve, and Yingluo never goes out without Shuangxing, and Jiao'er has just come to the front.

Yingluo nodded when she heard this, and asked, "Your brother and sister Miao haven't come back yet?" ”

Jiao'er turned around and poured a glass of water for Yingluo, held it over, and said: "Brother and Sister Miao came back from the fifth watch, and she didn't sleep all night, and she squinted crookedly on the blue gauze cabinet outside, and asked the slave and maid to wake up and call her." ”

Yingluo was about to say that she didn't need to wake her up, but she didn't want Brother Miao to get up and enter the inner room when she heard the movement, and stepped forward to give Yingluo a blessing, and Yingluo ordered her to sit on the spring stool and talk back.

Brother Miao didn't hesitate to sit down and said: "That Yun girl's father was originally a talented master in the township, and he opened a private school in the town, and his life was good, and there was a maid waiting for Yunshui embroidery on weekdays. Only a few days ago, there was an epidemic in Suizhou, and her father was infected with the disease, although he was saved later, but his body was broken, and he could no longer work hard, and the family's savings were exhausted. Miss Yun's mother had a difficult birth when she was pregnant with the younger brother of the Yun family, and there was an older brother who was studying at home, but she was moved early and went to Beijing early in the morning to wait for next year's Spring Festival. The family was defeated, Yun Xiucai simply sold the house and took Miss Yun and her youngest son to the capital to join the son. But Yunshuixiu's brother didn't have much income when he lifted people, so he rented a house to live and study. In addition, his wife is pregnant again, and she is also struggling, so she originally had to rely on her father at home to provide for her, but now that her father and siblings come, she is naturally even more stretched. Although Yun Shuixiu and her sister-in-law also work hard to subsidize the family on weekdays, Uncle Yun also copies books from time to time to earn money, but Uncle Yun spends a lot of money on reading, and the old man of the Yun family has to rely on medicine to support, and the family eats, drinks and wears, so naturally it is becoming more and more difficult. ”

Brother Miao took the tea from Jiao'er and took a sip to moisten his lips, Yingluo asked, "What happened to her family now?" ”

Brother Miao put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, yesterday the slave maid invited Dr. Qin, the holy hand of Taihetang who specializes in treating women's postpartum diseases." Doctor Qin has already shown the Yun family's sister-in-law and the child the medicine, and now they are all safe. It is also the luck of the Yun family, so that Miss Yun met the girl at the pass, yesterday the Qin doctor was busy in the Yun family for a night, and he said that he had to save in time, otherwise the sister-in-law of the Yun family and the little baby would be useless. The father and son of the Yun family had to come over and kowtow to the girl to thank him, but the uncle of the Yun family injured his leg, and the old man was not in good health, so the slave and maid stopped him, but the Yun family still insisted that the little boy follow the slave and maid back to the house, saying that he would let him kowtow to the girl on behalf of the whole family. ”

Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said, "Can you keep the money?" ”

Brother Miao nodded, "Uncle Yun has injured his leg now, Old Man Yun, sister-in-law and little nephew of the Yun family still need medicine, even Miss Yun fell ill due to the cold yesterday, and now she is really a patient of the family, and when she wants to use silver, the slave and maid left fifty taels of silver, and left the little maid in the Yun family before the dawn." ”

Yingluo said appreciatively: "It's still Brother and Sister Miao's thoughtfulness, and I will send Young Master Yun back in a while, and I don't want to choose a more careful little maid to send it over." ”

On the side, Jiao'er didn't feel her face was worried, and said: "Thanks to the girl, otherwise this family will be sick and weak, and the family will not be ruined, the girl is the most kind-hearted, if the slave maid's family is flooded, if the girl didn't buy the slave sister and brother, the slave and the maid brother may have fallen into that kind of pickled place." This Yun family still has a talented master and a lifting master, but now it has also ended up in such a field, so I don't know how many families have been destroyed after the disaster, if the slave sister and brother have no girl, I am afraid that they will die a long time ago. ”

Jiao'er's facial features are beautiful, but her complexion is dark, and she doesn't look very conspicuous, her younger brother is only * years old, but he is born in pink carving, and he was almost forcibly bought to be a little girl, and Jiao'er is grateful to Yingluo.

Brother Miao said: "There is a Ma family in the slave's hometown, and there is a man who lifts people, and the squire merchants in the local ten miles and eight villages all go to the house of the master to send shops, fields, and houses openly and secretly, and lean on it, the Ma family was originally a poor family, and only a man who raised people became rich this day." This Yun family's father is a showman, and his son was selected at a young age, but he was afraid that there were many people who gave away interest to the Yun family, but he was like this, so it can be seen that he is not good at drilling, but a simple and responsible person. ”

Yingluo got up, put a fox fur coat on the jacket by Jiao'er, washed in the clean room, and instructed Brother Miao: "Go and bring the little brother of the Yun family over, and then send it back after eating with me in a while." ”

Yingluo came out of the clean room and sat in front of the dresser to tie her hair, and when she got out of the inner room, she saw Brother Miao holding a three or four-year-old child waiting in the bright room, the little boy was wearing an indigo cotton jacket and cotton pants, and a small felt hat on his head, which looked a little old, but it was clean and neat.

A small face is white and pure, although a little thin, lost the roundness of a child, but also clever and pleasing to look at, and does not recognize life, seeing Yingluo come out, he won Brother Miao's hand and knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "Ah Niu kowtows to the girl on behalf of the whole family, and the girl is very kind." The Yun family will definitely repay each other in the next day. ”

Yingluo saw him kowtowing in style, and the little adult was talking like a smile, and he squatted down in front of him and pulled him up. Seeing Ah Niu's eyelids drooping, he stood still stiffly, but he blinked his eyelids and secretly glanced at himself from time to time, and said with a smile: "It turns out that your name is Ah Niu, did Ah Niu teach me all the words that Ah Niu said just now?" ”

Seeing Yingluo's kind attitude, Ah Niu blinked his eyes and stared at Yingluo curiously, and said, "How does the girl know that her father taught Ah Niu?" ”

Yingluo saw that the child's eyes were as clear as a pool of lake water, so she couldn't help but rub his face and said, "Sister naturally knows, my sister not only knows this, but also knows that when Ah Niu came, his father told Ah Niu to say less and do less, but is this so?" ”

Ah Niu suddenly widened his round eyes in surprise, covered his mouth with his little hand, and said for a long time: "How does my sister know?" Daddy only talks to Ah Niu in the house, my sister must be a fairy living in the palace, right? ”

Not only did Yingluo laugh at this time, but even Brother Miao and Jiao'er laughed out loud, but Yingluo nodded and said, "Yes, my sister is a fairy, so Ah Niu has to listen to my sister's words, don't be afraid or nervous, just treat my sister here as if it were her own home, okay?" ”

Ah Niu blinked his eyes again when he heard this, but said: "But Daddy said that when he came to his sister, he couldn't be as noisy as at home, and Ah Niu wanted to listen to his sister, so he couldn't listen to Daddy." ”

Yingluo stood up, led Ah Niu to the ear room, and said with a smile: "My sister is a fairy, and Ah Niu's father also wants to listen to the words of the fairy, Ah Niu will listen to her sister when she is here with the fairy sister, and listen to her father when she returns home, okay?" ”

Ah Niu thought about it and nodded with a smile, and said: "Ah Niu understands, Ah Niu listens to the fairy sister's words, otherwise Ah Niu will become ugly, and Daddy will be sad." ”

Yingluo raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't listen to the fairy sister, will you become ugly?" ”

Ah Niu nodded seriously, looked up at Yingluo, and said softly: "It's my sister who sued me, the rafters in the village are ugly, Sister said that it was because he always bullied everyone, and he broke the head of the little girl sister with a stone, which annoyed the fairy sister, and the fairy sister made him look like that!" ”

Yingluo smiled, the two of them asked and answered into the ear room, the maids were shuttling back and forth to put the meal on the table, Yingluo pulled Ah Niu to sit on the circle chair on the side temporarily, saw that Ah Niu's hands were a little frostbitten, and told Brother Miao to find some frostbite ointment.

Ah Niu was taught very well, Zhili is sensible and smart, very cute, Yingluo likes him, left him for breakfast and asked Brother Miao to find some small things for him to play with, when Wang Xueyao came over, the two teased Ah Niu together, seeing that the sun had risen in mid-sky, Yingluo told Brother Miao to send Ah Niu back.

Ah Niu was already familiar with Yingluo when he came, and took her hand and said nostalgically: "Sister's palace is really good, sister is better, wait for Daddy, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and sister's illness to be cured, can Ah Niu come to my sister's palace again with them?" ”

Brother Miao said unconsciously: "Ah Niu is not allowed to talk nonsense, your father and eldest brother are both foreign men, where can they come here!" Ah Niu can't say this anymore when he goes out, you know?! ”

The child is the most sensitive, as soon as he felt that Brother Miao's tone was wrong, his face showed a daze, and looked at Yingluo at a loss, Yingluo hurriedly squatted down and rubbed Ah Niu's face, and said: "This is not my sister's home, my sister is also here as a guest, and when Ah Niu's family is well, my sister will go to Ah Niu's house to see Ah Niu, okay?" ”

Ah Niu suddenly laughed, and Yingluo coaxed him two more sentences before handing him over to Brother Miao to take out. Wang Xueyao saw Yingluo's eyes moving with the backs of the two of them, and she smiled and quipped: "I can't see that Sister Yingluo is patient with the child, but she is the same as the cousin of the Chi family. You two like children so much, you should have a little nephew for me sooner when you get married. ”

Yingluo was stunned when she heard this, and her body stiffened slightly.

Chi Jingyi likes children? She didn't know it, and her heart was filled with soreness, and Yingluo closed her eyes slightly.

Wang Xueyao was just teased by Yingluo in the past two days, causing her to blush more and more in front of Sheng Chengyi, and frequently make a fool of herself, she was also ashamed of Yingluo when she said such a thing, but when she saw that Yingluo's reaction was wrong, she was not only a little flustered, but she only said that her words were too much, Yingluo was angry, and hurriedly pushed Yingluo, and said: "Okay, okay, you don't know how many times you have teased others, and I just said that I was talking about the swagger uàn Wu Gu Zhang's narrow forgiveness N armpit latch haze The emperor is scared and the emperor is leaning on σ Huan

Yingluo came back to her senses after being pushed, smiled at Wang Xueyao, and said, "Scare you, see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future!" ”

Wang Xueyao was stunned, picked up her pink fist and beckoned to Yingluo, and said, "Okay, you are a narrow ghost, tease me, see how I clean you up!" ”

Chi Fuzhong, Chi Jingyi went to the account room early in the morning after using the morning food, and in the past two days, the account room gathered one or twenty account room gentlemen who were busy taking stock of the Chi family's business, not for the side, just for this snowfall in various places, and the court wanted to borrow money from the merchants.

Half a month ago, Hubu Shangshu personally found Chi Jingyi, not to mention that Hubu Shangshu must have asked the emperor for his intentions, if the Chi family does not take this head, I am afraid that it will anger Shengyan, just for the reputation of the Chi family, it is impossible not to cut the flesh for three points.

Both left and right have to pay money, but it is better to know the times and be more cheerful, and you can also sell well with the emperor and get a good reputation.

Therefore, after the head of the household department Shangshuwei left, Chi Jingyi ordered to convene the stewards of various places to raise silver taels, and these days the account gentlemen are busy settling the accounts and allocating the available silver taels, and they are very busy.

Seeing Chi Jingyi come in, Wu Wenhai, the general ledger room, hurriedly greeted him and said: "The young master was busy until midnight yesterday because of the matter of the medicinal food building, and the old slave here is good to watch, and when the general ledger is cleaned up, it will be sent to the young master as soon as possible, and the young master really doesn't have to work so hard to come over early." If this hurts the body, you can ask the old slave how to explain to the old lady. ”

Wu Wenhai is the companion of the old man of the Chi family, and has been in the Chi family for more than 50 years, Chi Jingyi has always been respectful, and said busily: "Uncle Wu, I asked Uncle Wu to raise 500,000 taels of silver before, I don't know what is happening now?" ”

Wu Wenhai was surprised, 500,000 taels of the Chi family is really nothing, although it can be taken out easily, but it can't be regarded as hurting.

It can be raised in a few days, and the reason why Lord Wei is still busy for more than half a month after his visit is that the Chi family is hiding clumsy and does not dare to show that he is so wealthy. This is still Chi Jingyi's special explanation, why did he suddenly ask like this today?

Wu Wenhai stroked his beard and said, "500,000 taels were ready early, but the imperial court urged it again?" ”

Chi Jingyi shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, if you raise another 300,000 taels of silver, I don't know if you can make it?" ”

Wu Wenhai frowned slightly when he heard this, his face flashed with some anger and displeasure, and said, "Could it be that the silver of our Chi family in the imperial court is blown by the wind?" Although our Chi family's business is big, all walks of life are not less taxed every year, and 500,000 taels of white tribute is already the Chi family's loyalty to the people and love the people, and the appetite of the imperial court is inevitably too great! ”

Chi Jingyi waved his hand unconsciously when he saw Wu Wenhai angrily, and said: "Uncle Wu misunderstood, it's not that the court is dissatisfied, it's just that I want to take this opportunity to ask the Holy God for a reward." ”

Wu Wenhai was stunned, he really couldn't understand what kind of grace the Chi family needed now, and he actually had to use 800,000 taels of silver to dredge it.

Only he was still convinced of Chi Jingyi, the young master, and knew that the young master's decision would not be willful, it must have been carefully considered and beneficial to the Chi family, so he suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "Young master, please speak?" ”

Chi Jingyi slowly opened his mouth and said, "I want to ask the emperor to reward me with the will of the fifth girl Su to give marriage, what does Uncle Wu think?" ”——
