Gaofu in the capital, who has no official position, is the maiden family of the noble concubine among the four concubines.

Gao Rongli, Gaofu's most favored concubine at present, is entangled with her mother: "Mother! Would it be good to ask dad to buy a carriage for his daughter too? The carriage was so good that I didn't want to get down when I got inside. Let's buy one too! Anyway, it's not like we don't have any money in our house! ”

Her mother gently patted her daughter lying on top of her, and said helplessly: "I have also been in that car, and I know that the car is indeed very good." It's just that the carriage is not like our family, which can be made at any time, and the carriage has to be greeted and booked half a year in advance. Your grandfather greeted him three months ago, but he hasn't delivered it yet, but I'm afraid he won't be able to get home until six months later. ”

Gao Rongli said with some resentment: "This carriage is too ignorant of lifting, right?" My grandfather is a marquis, and they don't want to send it first! ”

Her mother laughed: "You! It's really a child, there are a lot of waiters and lords in the capital, if you have to do them first, it's not the same that you can't make it, and the final way is not to do it according to the first order. ”

The little girl pouted and replied unhappily, "But I really want to be in that carriage right away!" The outside of the car has glass against the wind and snow, and the inside is soft and thick fur that is warmer than a quilt, and you won't feel cold if you don't burn the coals when you sit inside. And you don't have to open the window to see the snow outside, it's clear and beautiful, it's so beautiful! ”

Her mother really likes her daughter like this, but she can't help it. Even her father-in-law, as the old marquis, has to wait, and her identity is even more unsightly.

"That's right! Then you can ask the girl of the Zhang family. Why did her family's carriage come so early, I heard her mother say that her family didn't seem to book a car in advance! ”

The little girl replied wistfully: "Asked! She said that her father and her brother had spent an extra thousand taels of silver to snatch it from someone else's house. also said that there were several people robbing it, and her father was thick-skinned, so he directly stuffed the silver ticket into people's hands, and then ran away with her brother driving the horse and the steering wheel, and several people followed the back of the car. ”

When her mother heard her say this, she also dispelled her original suspicions. I tried my best to persuade my daughter to wait patiently.

There is also a discussion of this carriage in another place: "I heard that the carriage can be reserved for fifty cars a year, and according to the minimum of five thousand taels of silver, the annual income is two hundred and fifty thousand taels." There is no more stable business than this. I don't believe anyone cares! ”

The other snorted: "Drink! Who wouldn't care! It's a pity that what can I do if I think about it? In the past two years, the list of accounts in the household department is a single line, and the emperor is clearly telling people that this car dealer has the share of the imperial court in it, who dares to touch this mold? ”

The one who spoke before. Suddenly, he whispered, "Either we can find someone to explore the water in the name of someone else." Tell this Wang family to let out a few shares from his hands! It has become our benefit, and if we fail, they will not be able to find us! What do you say? ”

The other was moved and nodded imperceptibly. But he pretended to be worried and said: "I'm afraid that this matter can't withstand the investigation of people in the world!" ”

"It's not simple, just encourage the other party's people to go, we look at the momentum in the back, if the momentum is not right, we will not move, if it's okay, we will also follow the troubled waters to fish."

"Hmmm! You be careful. Don't get a trace! ”

"Yes!"

The end of the year is still the busiest time to prepare New Year's goods, and some main streets and shops in the town, county seat, and Fucheng are located. The stalls selling things and the people buying things have a seamless crowd of walking. The children in the town also set up stalls in groups of three or two to sell pairs and red lanterns in the town, county seat, and prefecture during the winter vacation. Xiaohu, Dahong, Xiangzi and a few coaches helped them deliver things and see if they were bullied.

Today, Xiaohu was in charge of patrolling several stalls in the county, and he saw a scholar he knew but was not familiar with next to his children's stall, who was also selling couplets there. It's just that his couplets are not as good as the couplets made by his own children, and the couplets made by his own children are gilded and edging, and his couplets are written in black on red paper. The children on his side are too busy, and no one cares about him there, so he looks busy here. Out of curiosity, Xiaohu still carefully looked at the couplet written by others, saw that the writing was good, and concentrated on recognizing the person, and finally found it in his memory. I went home without saying a word, and when I was eating, I thought about saying to my daughter-in-law, "Who do you guess I saw today?" ”

"Who? Is it someone I know? ”

Xiaohu looked at the three boys and the nurse who were eating next to him, and didn't want to say it, but when he saw that his daughter-in-law was still waiting for him with chopsticks, he replied: "Well! It's the Xiucai who quit with you, I saw him selling couplets next to our children, and I guess he didn't pass the exam this time. ”

I thought it was a big shot! It turned out to be someone I didn't know at all, and it wasn't interesting. Erya said casually: "You must have failed the test, otherwise the world knows about their family's virtue that cannot be promoted." ”

Xiaohu saw that her daughter-in-law was talking about her ex-fiancé so calmly and indifferently, and suddenly felt that she was worried that her daughter-in-law would be sad when she heard the news of that person, which was really redundant.

As soon as his heart relaxed, his words became cheerful: "His couplet is also written in red and black, and there are no tricks." How can our children sprinkle gold, bronzing, and make peonies, dragons and phoenixes The lace of those patterns looks high-grade, and we are too busy to sell here, and no one asks him for a long time. Finally, someone asked, and it turned out that he sold it more expensive than ours! People buy couplets and bargain with him, and he also says that the words he writes are worth that price, and he will not sell them if they are low. Hehe! This IQ is really anxious, this is to buy couplets and not sell words, can you still see the price of words? ”

Erya is really impatient to talk about things that have nothing to do with her, and she is even less interested in talking about such people. At the beginning, his grandfather was forced to reluctantly propose to withdraw from his relatives first, but the family had to sell her cheaply, and it was rumored everywhere that her 'Liu family felt that he was not worthy of his family's talented son and didn't want to be said that Gao Pan took the initiative to ask for a divorce, and his family didn't want to withdraw at all'. Later, according to others, the man had promised to marry the woman who entered the door long before he was in Xiucai, and as long as he was admitted to Xiucai, he would immediately withdraw from his relatives and marry her. There is no need for her Liu family to defend this matter, and someone turned the family upside down, and later did not say that the Liu family wanted to withdraw from the family. With such a person, Erya feels disgusted when he thinks of them, where can he still listen to Xiaohu's non-stop talking?

Erya sandwiched a piece of chestnut roast chicken and put it in Xiaohu's bowl, and said, "Eat well, you have to pay attention to people like that, don't you think it's a waste of time?" Last year, Liu Wenzhu and they built a few greenhouses in the hot springs in the mountains, and tomorrow there will be nothing to do, let's go in and have a look, I want to plant cucumbers and eggplants in them. I've already bred them here, and if the temperature is right, I'll transplant them when the seedlings grow. In this way, you don't have to wait until summer to have cucumbers and eggplants, but if you get them early next year, they can be sold at a high price in winter and until March. ”

The nurse couldn't help but interject: "The owner lady! Is our family still short of that little money to sell vegetables? ”

Erya shook her head with a smile and said, "There is no shortage!" But that's what they did, and of course I want them to make money, and I'm just helping them. I'll get some of my own food, even if it's what they should pay me. ”

The nurse only thinks that those children are really happy, although the lady of the owner family can't be so thoughtful as her biological parents, but what she can do for the children, she will basically take action, and she is more responsible than ordinary relatives and clansmen.

But Hu Sanjin's mother-in-law, Mrs. Luo, didn't think so, she felt that some of the things Erya did were redundant.

After the houses in the town were built, the families who had been temporarily living in the courtyards connected to the school moved out. Several gentlemen were willing to live in a single dormitory, but no one wanted to move into a small courtyard, and the courtyard was empty. Erya asked someone to clean up and convert it into a kindergarten. There are also many girls in the school who have graduated, and they are not qualified to be husbands, but they are more than enough to be kindergarten teachers.

The courtyard wall of the yard was also demolished, and the open space was made with a lot of equipment such as slides, seesaws, swings, and manual push spinning cars for children to play. This project is not small, many of them are carpentry work, and Hu Sanjin is also doing work in it. His mother-in-law was not happy, and when she saw her son-in-law busy polishing the inner wall of the slide again, she complained in front of Granny Li, who was taking the child: "Your host lady is too spoiled by these children." These children don't have a father or mother anyway, and they have already reached the top of the sky to feed them with a mouthful of food, where is the need to make these things? Not to mention wasting her own things, it also delayed my son-in-law from working to earn money. Isn't that tiring?! ”

Granny Li knew that Hu Sanjin worked with the class, and there was a share commission in addition to the salary, which had nothing to do with whether he worked or not. But when Mrs. Luo said this, she was finding fault with nothing, so she pulled her face down at the moment, and said unceremoniously: "Your son-in-law's salary and commission have nothing to do with work, and those who do how much work and how much money they get are those who work." Make no mistake! ”

Mrs. Luo only knew that she was happy, but she forgot that her son-in-law was no longer the same as when she used to work in the craftsman workshop to get paid by herself, and she was still talking nonsense.

Although the words did not reach Erya's ears this time, Mrs. Luo has been refused by all the mothers-in-law to enter the children's living place. Even Hu Sanjin, who knew what Mrs. Luo said, warned her that if she dared to say anything that she shouldn't do for the children, then send her back to Luojiazhuang directly.

Daughters, grandchildren, and granddaughters are all here, and the life and accommodation here are much better than when they were at home, and they can eat whatever they want every day, and they can buy whatever they want when they go out. If she is used to living here, she will definitely be killed if she goes back to live in the mountains. But the son-in-law's attitude when he said this didn't seem like he was just talking, he really wanted to send her away. It seems that he has always disliked her, and it is only because of his daughter that he has endured himself until now.

Mrs. Luo has always been very smart, but since she came, her son-in-law still respects her as before, which makes her a little carried away. Now that she suddenly understood her situation, she was truly silent, enjoying her old age like a real old man, and no longer dared to point fingers. (To be continued......)
