The population of Uncle Cui's family is very simple, except for an old Aunt Cui, that is, Uncle Cui's aunt and their three children, fourteen-year-old Cui Heng, six-year-old Cui Lin and two-and-a-half-year-old Cui Yan, plus a Cui Qi girl, and two old servants, a total of nine people, plus a big girl who hired a helper, and lived in a small house not far from Song Damiang's restaurant.

This house is not the Ouyang family, let alone the Cui family's property, the Cui family's ancestral house has long been destroyed in the war, and those that are not destroyed are almost withered. If you want to talk about this house, you really have to thank the deceased Cui family. This is a small property that she used to invest in Huai'an Town with her dowry, which was originally a fancy to the location of the street and wanted to make a small shop, but who thought that the business was not done, and it became a shelter for her mother's family. It is precisely because of this that Uncle Cui is willing to move in. Otherwise, he would rather borrow money from the Ouyang family to rent a house than live here.

Nianfu came for a long time, and after learning a little about the situation of this family, he was speechless.

You say that people are so poor, they live completely on the help of their relatives, and they don't want to make money, and they still talk about what they do that breaks the rules?

You say that your family is a scholarly family and you don't want to do business, so you can rent out the shop on the street. People don't! Directly converted into two spacious gates.

This is changed, but there is a small courtyard inside, why do you want to erect a wall in it?

The beautiful name is that there is a difference between inside and outside, but in fact, it is to isolate the fourteen-year-old Cui Heng outside.

But in fact, this is such a big place, and if you sneeze here, the whole family can hear it. Besides, if you go to a thatched house to have a meal or something, where can you not take care of your face?

Just because of that wall, the light in the room was still blackened, and when Nian Fu entered the kitchen in the daytime, his eyes were black, and he couldn't even find oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Don't talk about the wax cost of lighting, the key is to be aggrieved! In his previous life, he had enough of living in a pigeon cage, and Nianfu had a headache when he looked at such a dark house. But Miss Cui Qi still has trouble, which is even more of a headache.

Not...... To say that Ouyang Kang also hates the stinky rules of his uncle's family, he is still willing to raise his hands and feet in favor of the article of male and female defense.

Because the house is small and because of the rules, every time Cui Qi's cousin wants to talk to him alone about life and ideals, there is always more than one pair of eyes staring at him.

For example, today, he sent a few boxes of facial grease to wipe his face, although it was not a valuable object, Cui Qi was very happy and felt that this was given to him. So Cui Qi said shyly, "Cousin Xie has a heart, but I often hear that there are good roses in the shop, but it's a pity that it costs a box of one or two silver, and I haven't used it, I don't know if Lu Dao is really that good." ”

Ouyang Kang's eyes twitched when he heard this, and his first thought was not to realize what his cousin was hinting at him, but to think, it's really dark! His monthly money in January is only a pitiful two taels of silver, so he has to take care of his own pen, ink, paper, inkstone and daily pocket money. That box of fat powder alone costs a tael of silver? Grab the money!

Seeing that Ouyang Kang didn't answer this for a long time, Cui Qi was afraid that he would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly brought out a virtuous and virtuous fan, "Actually, I also think that thing is too expensive, and it may not be so good, in fact, this jasmine resin is very good." ”

Ouyang Kang also thinks so, the five boxes are only one dollar and five cents of silver, and this price is close to the people.

"You girls like to talk about these fat and powder, and we don't understand it. Cousin, come with me and take a look at my recent paintings, have you grown? Cui Qi wanted to say something, but Cui Heng dragged his cousin away.

When he entered his room, Cui Heng immediately bolted the door, and then mysteriously took out a painting scroll, smiling like a flower, "Hehe, cousin, I'm going to trouble you again this time." ”

Ouyang Kang glared at his cousin angrily, but took the scroll, "Always pretending to be a ghost like this, be careful when your uncle finds out that he broke your leg!" ”

Cui Heng muttered dissatisfied, "So poor that you don't even have to eat, why are you still holding that stinky shelf?" Cousin, you shouldn't always help my family, so that my father and sister always think that we are a big family! ”

Ouyang Kang knocked him on the head with a painting scroll in his hand, "It's not a gentleman's job to talk about the length of a person behind his back." Especially if it's your elders! ”

Cui Heng felt sorry for the painting, and regardless of rebuttal, he just said, "You be careful, and you still point to it and sell it for money." ”

Ouyang Kang opened it to take a look, but saw that the painting was another beautiful woman, with light shirts and thin sleeves, and a graceful posture, especially the **, which seemed to be disgusting and smiling, and it was even more sultry. No one could have imagined that it was the work of a fourteen-year-old boy.

He sighed, "You put all your mind into this, what will you do in the future?" ”

Cui Heng said, "In the future? In the future, we will be older day by day, and my sister's dowry will not be mentioned, even if she wants to sell me as a slave, my father will let her marry beautifully. How will Ke Lin'er marry in the future, and how will Yan'er and I marry in the future? Is it possible to rely on you for help for the rest of your life? Cousin, your life is not easy, now I can have this little craft, I can earn a little is a little, horizontally and vertically, I don't steal or rob, I am also down-to-earth. ”

"Less nonsense! You are the eldest son, how will you be sold? Just ......"

Thinking about his uncle's temper, Ouyang Kang was also speechless, and painted a scroll, "I'll have someone bring you out of the Lu to sell, but you should also put some thought into reading." Now that the new dynasty has just been decided, and all kinds of wastes are waiting to be lifted, maybe you and I will come out one day? ”

Cui Heng responded and sent his cousin away.

It's just that after returning home, when Ouyang Kang reported the account to Lan Gu, he was a little wrong.

"I remember that jasmine grease is thirty wen a box, young master, you bought four boxes, why did you spend two dollars of silver? Isn't that guy cheating on you and overcharging you? ”

Ouyang Dashao touched his nose, "...... them Don't cheat me, maybe I accidentally gave a tip. ”

Ahem, he really didn't mean to lie, he just saw that the girl's face was blown and she ate so many things from other people, so he thought about getting her one box, and the other four boxes were by the way. As for the extra money, it is a small reward for her. But if this is to give people the truth, then what is it? Therefore, Ouyang Dashao can't admit it.

It's a pity that Miss Cui Qi over there just doesn't know the details of the road, and she is full of resentment because of his departure, and she wants to go to the "rival in love" to settle accounts.

Nian Fu really can't figure out the purpose of this fight. There is no injustice and no hatred, is she a mad dog and bites people when she sees them?

But does a woman's jealousy need a reason? Especially looking at her beautiful face that was obviously better than herself, Miss Cui Qi was not happy.

But if someone is a young lady, if you are a young lady, you have to have a young lady's money, so Cui Qi held the shelf, smiled gently and nobly, and called her in, "Sister Mu, since I invited you here, I have to trouble you." The money is ready, the menu is ready, and it's up to you for the holidays tomorrow. ”

She bowed her head slightly, six-year-old Cui Lin, who acted as her cousin's little maid, obediently held a plate and sent it over.

I heard from my cousin that tomorrow this new chef will make a lot of delicious food, all meat! The little girl hasn't opened such a big pot for a long time, so a pair of big eyes are very expectant, and Chong Nianfu keeps blinking and blinking.

Sister, don't sell cute, sister can't stand it! Nianfu tried to focus on the key point, there was a string of money in the tray, it was estimated that it was about 100 wen, and there was a piece of paper next to it, so she wanted to pick it up and look at it, and suddenly remembered that she was "illiterate", so she smiled, "I haven't read either, what do you want to cook, or ask the eldest lady to tell me directly." ”

Obviously, this eldest lady made Cui Qi very happy, her chin was unconsciously raised by two points, and she covered her mouth with a reserved handkerchief and smiled deliberately, "It turns out that you can't read, but even such a young girl in our family needs to be literate." ”

Listening to her string of laughter with unknown meanings, Nianfu was a little embarrassed. Did she meet the legendary Deathstar? Can my sister tell you that my sister is highly educated? Forget it, Nianfu decided not to meet this girl who couldn't even figure out whether the earth was round or square. just deliberately opened his eyes wide, looked at Xiao Cui Lin and asked very innocently, "So this is a girl?" I thought she was the second lady in the house. ”

……

Blessing you is broken. Obviously, he has already seen several old servants of the Cui family, and he is still talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Cui Qi's face was red and white, no matter how she was, could she say that her cousin was her own girl? After swallowing several breaths, she could speak, "Of course she is the second lady of the house, I just said that, not that she is a girl, but that you have heard it." ”

Oh, Nianfu nodded kindly, "Then please tell me what is written on this, okay?" ”

Talking to little Lori is much more comfortable than facing her fake fairy face.

"Okay!" Cui Lin had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and agreed very happily, and without even looking at it, she began to count with her little finger, "Braised pork ribs, steamed pork, taro roast duck, sweet and sour fish, crystal hooves, braised prawns in oil......"

The little girl thought for a while, and then whispered a finger to Nianfu, "Can you still ask for an egg custard?" My brother is still young, and he loves to eat that. ”

To say that Miss Cui Qi is really not demanding, it is all familiar home-cooked food, but Nianfu twisted her neck stiffly, looked at the hanging money again, and confirmed that it was neither gold nor silver, she said, "The last one is no problem, if you want the front, I'm afraid you will have to trouble the eldest lady to add some money, right?" ”

"I'm the least accustomed to these mundane things." Cui Qi kicked the ball back, and then got up elegantly, "If you don't have enough money, take it with Yu's mother." Okay, Arlene, go in with my sister, and I'll teach you how to play the piano. ”

"I, can I not go?" That's obviously not a good errand, when the little girl heard it, the delicate little bun face suddenly appeared a very tangled look, as if she had suffered a hard gall, but in the end she still carried it away for the lobby sister.

It's just that before leaving, Miss Cui Qi seemed to educate her sister, but in fact, she left a sentence for Nianfu, "Have you forgotten, my cousin said that a woman who can play the piano is elegant!" ”

Did your cousin tell you that a cook without money can't make elegant meat for you?

Angrily shook his eyes, Nianfu went to find Aunt Fang. Anyway, your master wants to eat, and you want to go for money!
