Xue Mansion is a big family in the end, Tang Qing'er has to control every word and deed in the Xue family, she is not soft when she should be in charge, and she will never move forward if she shouldn't touch, so after she visited her father-in-law's concubine, she closed the door and did what she wanted to do in the house.

Because Tang Liang was going to go out after a while, she was afraid that she would encounter some bandits or caravan infighting on his way, so she wanted to let him hide the 1,000 taels of silver he gave him, and finally thought of a way to divide the 1,000 taels of silver into 500 taels of silver tickets, one of which turned 500 taels of silver into two 200 taels of silver tickets and a 100 taels of silver tickets and kicked them in his arms for daily trading, and the remaining 500 taels were also exchanged for six 50 taels of silver tickets, two 100 taels of silver tickets, and specially prepared some old clothes for him, If they did encounter the robbers, they would not be able to see the old clothes, so they sewed the silver tickets they had prepared into the lining of the old clothes.

Tang Qing'er knew her own craftsmanship, so she handed over this matter to Zhu'er, she embroidered well, and sewing clothes was not a problem, after Zhu'er embroidered the clothes, she took it to see, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, if you don't look carefully, you can't even see the stitches, not to mention who can guess that there is a silver ticket sewn in the lining of the clothes, which is just in case.

After this was done, Tang Qing'er felt that it was boring to stay in the house, if she was in the Tang family, she could go to the kitchen to cook some delicious food, clean the house, or go to the town to walk around the market, now these are all done for her, she is not needed at all, she just needs to open her mouth to talk every day, open her mouth to eat, open her mouth to fight with Xue Qianxun and so on.

In the past few days, when Xue Qianxun came back from outside, he saw Tang Qing'er's bored expression, so he gave Tang Qing'er part of the account books in the restaurant, which was a pastime.

When Xue Qianxun came back in the afternoon, Tang Qing'er told him what problems he had with the accounts he had read this morning, and Xue Qianxun was surprised: "How did you look so fast." ”

Tang Qing'er thought to herself, if you can calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you can see any account quickly, but how can you say this to him, who will find an excuse and say: "I'm smart!" ”

"That's it?" Xue Qianxun didn't believe it, and asked with questions in his eyes.

Tang Qing'er has always been inattentive to him, and he didn't dare to spin around on this topic, so he pretended to be annoyed and said angrily: "Then you can do whatever you say about me, and you can jump out of the fault if you see it quickly, it's really unreasonable." ”

"Alright, alright, I'll just say that." Xue Qianxun saw that Tang Qing'er was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to coax her, she was angry, and it was himself who suffered, thinking of the night when he was like love, he couldn't bear it, and thought: Why do you have to embarrass yourself, seeing that her anger has subsided, she said slowly: "I'm sitting in the house today to read the account books, and I haven't wandered around the house." ”

"No, how can I have time, by the way, Sister Xue Shi came to me today?"

"What's the matter with them?"

"It's nothing, it's just a casual conversation." She didn't want to tell Xue Qianxun because she went to see Aunt Zhao last time and had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with Xue Shi, and she came to apologize this time.

"Oh." Xue Qianxun raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "If you are impatient, you don't have to deal with them, I will tell the people in the courtyard that next time they come, send them away directly." ”

"Don't, it's boring anyway."

"Huh? Feeling bored in the house? Xue Qianxun asked with his arm around Tang Qing'er.

"Well," it was really boring, she seemed to go out to look at the streets outside, and didn't want to stay in the house all day long, tunnel: "When I was in Tangjia Village, my family was poor, my father and mother were all over the world, working with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, at that time I racked my brains to think about how to make my family's life richer, at that time, a large family lived together, there was no good food to eat, and there was no good one to wear, what I hope most is to quickly divide the family, split the family, my father and mother are down-to-earth and admit to it, plus my smart brain, The life of the family is definitely better than that of a large family together, and then finally survived to the separation, my mother made small shoes, brewed jujube wine, built houses, bought land, planted mushrooms, and finally moved to the town, and the days were getting better and better day by day. ”

Xue Qianxun listened to Tang Qing'er's words, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, she was willing to tell herself about these old things, which showed that she had put her own relatives and accompanied her other half for life, which was very good.

Tang Qing'er said to herself, suddenly stopped talking, and found that Xue Qianxun had not made a sound, looked up and saw that he was looking at herself with a smile on his face, and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?" Don't you think what I'm saying is funny? ”

"No, I just think it's good to be like this now, you are in my arms, talk about some old things from the past, although I didn't accompany you before, but I will always be by your side in the future." Xue Qianxun said.

Tang Qing'er heard his beautiful words, her heart throbbed, and her face was slightly red: "Then you listen to it so much, shouldn't you talk about your childhood as a condition of exchange." ”

"What do I have to say when I was young," Xue Qianxun obviously didn't want to mention the matter of the hour, and the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little restrained.

Tang Qing'er saw that he was unhappy, and thought of his father-in-law and his concubines, and comforted: "It's good to have grandma and mother who love you!" "There is a flowery father, and a concubine who blows the pillow wind next to him, Xue Qianxun is in such a big family, and he has not been infected with some vices of the son-in-law, which is already commendable.

Tang Qing'er hugged Xue Qianxun's waist, Sanshun, Zhu'er and Lu'er had already gone out with interest, and the two of them hugged quietly like this, which was also a good feeling.

After going out, Sanshun felt that his young master had been married since he got married, and there were more and more smiles on his face, sometimes looking at the accounts in the study, his eyes couldn't help but look at the door, looking forward to the appearance of the young lady, and when the young lady came in, the corners of his mouth turned upward, much better than before

"Lady, do you think that being a husband is very popular with you now?"

Tang Qing'er blushed and whispered, "It's okay,"

"So, do you have to work harder for your husband," he said, wrapping Tang Qing'er into bed and removing the bed tent.

Tang Qing'er patted him and said, "It's not good to be full of lust in broad daylight." "Why every time this guy sees himself like a wolf who has been hungry for a long time, his eyes are glowing with blue light, and he wants to eat himself in one bite.

Xue Qianxun didn't give her a chance to refute at all, and covered her mouth so that she couldn't say a word again.

Seven days passed quickly, today is the day when Tang Liang went out, Xue Qianxun took Tang Qing'er to Tang's house, the children in the family did not go to the school, stayed at home and talked to Tang Liang, but Tang Liang was full of care, and boasted to himself: "Don't worry, with my smart brain, I will definitely make a lot of money and come back." ”

Tang Qing'er stretched out her hand and slapped Tang Liang's forehead and said, "Can you be modest,"

"Eldest sister, you can't expect me to be good," Tang Liang touched his forehead and said aggrievedly.

Tang Qing'er took out a package from her arms and said: "I have prepared some clothes for you here, knowing that you are going to the Jiangnan area, Jiangnan is all year round, and the scenery is like spring, so I did not prepare winter clothes for you, all the clothes worn in spring and autumn, a few pieces of fine silk, and a few old clothes." ”

Tang Liang was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to open the package and look at the clothes inside and said, "Eldest sister, you are too stingy, how can you give me the old clothes back," No! This old clothes are still sewn with patches, how can my brother-in-law's family be so rich, how can they be so stingy.

"You know what?" Tang Qing'er glared at him and said.

"Could it be that there is still a mystery in the clothes," Tang Liang knew that the eldest sister had a lot of ideas since he was a child, and couldn't help asking.

Tang Qing'er told Tang Liang the mystery hidden in the clothes: "You go this time, there is no family by your side, if you encounter a danger, we just want to reach out, and our arms can't reach it, so the money hidden in the old clothes, you must remember not to tell anyone, even if you encounter a robbery by bandits, they will also take away the good clothes and leave the old clothes, so that the silver in the old clothes is enough for you to toss." ”

Thinking about it, he also instructed: "Now the world is not good, you will see a lot of beggars begging along the way, you must not give them money or things with kindness, you must know that giving to one person, you will attract a group, you will be rushed by them at that time, and those beggars will not care, as long as you can fill your stomach, it doesn't matter if you live or die." ”

Tang Liang nodded and said, "I know!" Eldest sister. ”

Xue Qianxun opened his mouth and said, "Liang'er, didn't you say last time that I would support you financially,"

"Brother-in-law, you are really my brother-in-law." Tang Liang blinked and said flatteringly.

Xue Qianxun took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to him, "I asked for this silver from your eldest sister. ”

Tang Liang nodded hurriedly, stretched out his thumb and said, "Brother-in-law is really a word, it's hard to chase the horse,"

Xue Qianxun couldn't help but laugh and said: "What kind of metaphor are you, are you still a talent in vain?" ”

"Hehe, this is just a title, and I'll be a complete copper merchant in the future." Tang Liang teased.

"By the way, Liang'er, whenever you go to a place, you have to bring a letter to the house, let us know if you are safe, can you." Tang Qing'er thought of this and admonished again.

"I know this, don't worry," looked at the mother who was sitting on the side and had not spoken since the morning, walked up to her, and whispered: "Mother, don't worry, my son will come back safely,"

Li was in tears and couldn't speak, afraid that as soon as the words came out, he couldn't help crying.

Xue Qianxun said: "Have you brought all the jujube wine?" ”

"Well, I brought fifty altars, and yesterday I asked my father to pull down the caravan, and then they went out of the carriage to help pull it, if it was sold for a lot of money, we would divide the account in three or seven,"

"This is a good idea, the so-called no profit is not early, you give the caravan some profits, and they can willingly help you pull things."

"Well, this is also what I discussed with the owner of the caravan,"

Tang Tiezhu stood aside and patted Tang Liang's shoulder and said, "I don't expect you to make a lot of money, as long as you come back safely, remember that we are still waiting for you at home, think twice about everything, and avoid arrogance and rashness." ”

Tang Liang looked up at his father, whose temples were a little pale, and said, "My son knows, Dad!" ”

The Tang family personally sent Tang Liang to the caravan in the town, and Xue Qianxun talked to the caravan's owner for a while, asking him to take care of Tang Liang on the road, saying that he was his own brother-in-law.

After waiting for another two quarters of an hour, after the coachman had fed the horses, Tang Liang talked to the family for a while, Tang Qing'er saw that her mother's eyes were red, and hurriedly walked over, hugged her mother and said, "Mother, don't worry, Liang'er will come back in a year and a half." ”

Xue Qianxun stood next to her mother-in-law, and Qing'er was coaxing her mother-in-law, so she found an excuse to dodge.

"Tang Liang, are you done? If we finish speaking, let's start early, so as not to miss the sharp ground. The person who was better with Tang Liang ran over and hurriedly said.

"Alright, that's it, let's go!" Tang Liang nodded slightly.

The man got Tang Liang's reply, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell the team leader that he could go, so Tang Liang and the caravan set off slowly, and the Tang family kept watching Tang Liang and the caravan go farther and farther, until they couldn't see it anymore and slowly went home.

The eldest lord of the Xue family received a letter from his younger brother, saying that the second brother and sister will be in town tomorrow, and this time the second wife of the Xue family came back from Beijing, and she moved almost all the things in the capital back, and of course brought back the concubines and children in the backyard of the second master Xue.

Master Xue took Shen to wait at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a gorgeous carriage, with silk and cotton embroidered curtains, a tea-wood colored car body, and a fine swastika pane carved on the windows.

After the carriage stopped, the Jiang family took the lead in helping the maid's hand down, and when she saw Master Xue's family waiting for her outside, she was happy, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "It's all a family, and I won't let you all stand at the gate of the courtyard and wait for us when I come back this time,"

"Brother and sister, what are you talking about? When you come back, I'm happy, even if I stay in the house, I can't sit still," Shen explained with a smile.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the passers-by couldn't help but stop and exclaimed, He Fu is really rich, looking at the carriages one by one is really luxurious, and then look at the things pulled behind the carriage, each piece is even more precious.

"Oops! I haven't seen her for half a month, and Qing'er's face is getting better and better," Jiang joked when he saw Tang Qing'er.

Tang Qing'er's face was slightly red, and she deliberately covered her mouth and smiled, "Mother, the second aunt teased me again." ”

Shen smiled and said, "Your second aunt said that because she likes you?" ”

Xue Qianxun played with Qing'er's hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't live up to the expectations of your second aunt and continue to make up for yourself." ”

Tang Qing'er whispered shyly: "En." ”

Shen snorted and laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Shen and said, "Okay, okay, let's hurry up and get things into the yard, I have already ordered someone to clean up the house where you live, just waiting for you to live in." ”

No, the carriage drove straight into the courtyard from the main gate, and did not stop until the second gate.

The driver jumped out of the carriage, and immediately three or four girls and boys came around, put a low stool, and said that they would ask their aunts, aunts, masters, and young ladies to get out of the car.

After several aunts and cousins got out of the car, they stood in the courtyard, saluted Master Xue and the Shen family, and then stood aside in a regular manner, which showed the strictness of the Jiang family's housekeeper.

But Tang Qing'er still saw the subtle attractions of a few of the young masters and young ladies when they saw them, as well as the surprise and taunt on their faces that they caught with the corner of their eyes, Tang Qing'er snorted coldly, you still want to look down on us like this, didn't you just bring it in Beijing, as for looking down on people like this.

Steward Xue and the mother-in-law who came later hurriedly led everyone to the inner courtyard, all the way through the hall and through the courtyard and around the corridor, and there were vermilion painted corridor doors and windows and scarlet splint curtains.

After entering the main hall, several young masters and young ladies knelt down to greet Mrs. Xue in a proper manner, but Mrs. Xue didn't say anything, after all, she was a concubine, so she wouldn't spend so much energy talking to them, and gave Master Xue and Shen a new bow, Shen waved his hand and smiled on the side: "Don't be so polite, it's all a family, so keep kneeling and bowing, it's a little raw." He smiled at Shen again: "After a tiring journey in the past two days, are you tired?" ”

"Okay,"

"What do you want to eat at night? I'll get the kitchen ready, and then we'll have a good meal in the evening,"

"Sister-in-law, don't toss, I dare to come here day and night in the past two days, I'm afraid that there will be any accidents on the road, and now that I am safely in the house, my hanging heart can finally be put in my stomach."

"Hehe, look at what you said, you are escorted by officers and soldiers along the way, what are you afraid of?"

"Alas! The world is chaotic, be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years," Jiang said lightly, during this time, she has seen all the families in Beijing who may be put in prison because of something, can she not be afraid?

Shen saw that the second brother and sister did have a bad face, and thought that they would have to pack their luggage when they returned to the house in a while, so he said, "Then you should hurry up and rest for a while!" If you're not in a hurry to pack up, let's pack it tomorrow! ”

Jiang nodded, stood up with the help of the maid, and said, "Listen to my sister-in-law." ”

"Well, let's go inside and rest! In the evening, I asked the maid to call you over for dinner. ”

"Yes."

Ignoring some gossip, Shen asked them to go back to the house to wash and rest first.

The people here went out with Master Xue, and the Shen family sighed, waved his hand to let the maids in the house go out, and said to Xue Qianxun and Tang Qing'er: "Your second aunt came back this time, I'm afraid it's not good?" ”

Xue Qianxun snorted coldly and said lightly: "Xue Mansion is not whoever wants it, it depends on whether that person's arms are long enough, whether his fists are strong, and whether he can hold things." After a pause, he said: "It's okay to give it to her, anyway, I don't have the wealth of Xue Mansion, the key is if I give it to her, can she catch it."

After a while, Tang Qing'er sighed worriedly: "I'm most afraid that others don't know what you think, and they think that you want to cover the sky with one hand and get all the money and property of the Xue Mansion into your pocket." ”

Xue Qianxun came back to his senses from his contemplation and said: "Sure enough, the woman has long hair and short knowledge, and she always thinks about things in front of her, and thinks about it in vain. ”

Shen sighed again: "Mother is just guessing, maybe not necessarily?" ”

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "You have your Zhang Liang, I have my ladder over the wall, let's see in the future!" ”

Seeing that his son was confident, Shen smiled helplessly: "Okay, you can do whatever you say,"

Xue Qianxun nodded, "Mother, I know that you can rest assured of these, and you will not act recklessly." ”

Listening to Xun'er's words, Shen couldn't help but sigh.

Xue Qianxun accompanied his mother to talk, Tang Qing'er got up and went to the kitchen to have a look, just stepped into the main hall of the courtyard, suddenly heard a crisp cheer, Tang Qing'er looked up, only to see a little girl about the same age as her, with big round eyes, staring at her.

This person should be the daughter of the second uncle's family! Slowly, he said, "What? What's the matter? ”

The girl stretched out her hand and pointed at her nose and said angrily, "You are the bride married by Cousin Xun?" ”

"Well," isn't that knowingly asking? Didn't she hear how Jiang introduced herself at the door just now.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the girl glaring at her fiercely: "You are so ugly, how can you be worthy of my cousin." ”

In the eyes of the lover, she is a cousin in the eyes of her cousin, Tang Qing'er smiled and said: "Well, turnip greens have their own love, your cousin likes vegetables like me who have no appetite, and I can't help it." ”

The girl pointed at Tang Qing'er and was speechless angrily, threatening to hit her, and another voice came out of it, quite stern: "Why is Xin'er so rude, why don't you compensate your cousin and sister-in-law quickly." ”

As soon as her voice fell, the person had already arrived outside the door and apologized to Tang Qing'er: "Don't mind, cousin-in-law, Xin'er, this girl is spoiled by my mother." ”

Tang Qing'er still doesn't know who the two sisters are born from, the person seemed to see her doubts, and said: "Cousin-in-law, I am Xue Ling, this is my little sister Xue Xin, we are my father's daughters-in-law." ”

Tang Qing'er realized that the two people in front of her were the daughters of the Jiang family, she heard Xue Qianxun say that the Jiang family had two sons and two daughters, and they had been living in Beijing, so she had never seen them, and said busily: "It's mine, I didn't recognize my cousin for a while,"

Xue Lingwan smiled and said: "Where is the cousin-in-law, what the little sister said just now, don't take it to heart, she has always been close to Cousin Xun, listening to him marry, I feel a little excited, we are used to being brothers and sisters, let her talk lawlessly, I will pull her back to the house in a while, and I will definitely reprimand her." ”

"It's okay, it's a big deal, my cousin is still young, and I didn't pay attention to it," Tang Qing'er knew what they said humbly, so she went down the steps.

Xue Ling nodded gratefully, and hurriedly asked Xue Xin to compensate her cousin, Xue Xin's angry Tang Qing'er stared at the eldest sister again, twisted her body and refused to speak, Tang Qing'er thought about it, for Xue Xin, she was an elder anyway, so forget it, so she stepped forward with a smile and said with a smile: "Cousin Xin'er, what I said just now is not good, don't take it to heart, my cousin-in-law will compensate you here." As he spoke, he bowed down to Xue Xin.

Xue Xin turned her face, pouted and snorted, Xue Ling was about to reprimand, Tang Qing'er stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he said, "There's something going on in the kitchen, so I'll go over and have a look, and I'll talk to my sisters in the evening." ”

Xue Ling hurriedly leaned over and said, "It's all because we came back, and we're tired of my sister-in-law,"

"What did my sister say," after speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen with a smile, Tang Qing'er thought to herself, I can't afford to provoke you, can't I hide? The people in the second room came back violently, it seems that there is no peace in this house, alas! From now on, I'm afraid that right and wrong will continue!

At dinner, the Xue family had a table for men and a table for women, Shen and Jiang took the girls at one table, and Mrs. Xue was at the same table with the boss and several grandchildren.

After Tang Qing'er sat down, she looked well-behaved, waiting for the maids to prepare the dishes without saying a word, Xue Mansion pays attention to food and does not say anything, even on a big day like today, there is no movement at all when eating.

Tang Qing'er ate to people she didn't like, it was really hard to eat, but she still chewed and ate slowly, and she missed her mother's family very much at this time, when she was eating, everyone laughed and joked.

After the meal, there were maids serving tea, sitting at the dinner table, the women began to speak, as soon as they spoke, they seemed to open the chatterbox, and they couldn't stop, Jiang introduced their own personnel to the big house, aunts and concubines, and so on.
