"What's the second sister-in-law? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mo Shi replied with a smile when he heard Dong's kind words.

Yan Ruojiu also smiled and saluted: "Ruojiu has seen the second aunt. ”

"Hey, get up, get up, hurry up, there are many rules for your mother and daughter, they are all family, what's polite, but I was a little slacking just now, hey, there is no place for people to worry about up and down in this house." The second lady, Dong, affectionately helped Mo and Yan Ruojiu and smiled.

"The second sister-in-law manages the entire Yan Mansion alone, it is really your hardest, fortunately, with you, we can sit back and enjoy it, and we are lazy." Mohs joked.

"Oh, I'm working hard, I thought the third brother and sister could relax for a while when they came back, and you are also a lazy person." Dong also laughed.

Mo Shi smiled: "Second sister-in-law, don't embarrass me, when I was in the Northland, I was so tired of managing a small house that I couldn't eat, and I couldn't sleep, so don't make fun of me." ”

"You, aren't you afraid that our nine girls will laugh at her mother when you talk like this?" Dong glanced at Yan Ruojiu with a smile.

Yan Ruojiu also smiled and said: "Second aunt, mother is such a person, she is always troublesome, don't you see, this time I returned to Beijing, my mother almost didn't bring any house slaves in the northland house." ”

"As soon as the nine girls said this, it reminded me, the **** knew that you didn't bring any house slaves back, especially the maidservants and mother-in-law who served in the inner courtyard or something, so I first dialed a few more powerful mothers-in-law and maidservants to let you use them first, how about it, it's still a habit, right?" Dong suddenly remembered something and asked.

"The second sister-in-law thinks about us, and we have given it to the best person, so naturally we are used to it, and the second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about it." Mo's said with a smile.

"You're welcome, if there's anything inappropriate, don't be restrained, you must tell me, you're just coming back, I don't know what you're suitable for, so I can only try it first, hey, look at my happiness when I see you, hurry up, come to the inner hall and sit, this outside has just finished dealing with some chores, it's weird, let's go to the inner hall and sit down and talk, let's go." Yan Ruojiu accompanied her mother, Mo and Dong, in the front hall for a while before being invited to sit in the inner hall.

Dong took Mo's hand and arranged for her to sit down with Yan Ruojiu affectionately, and the maidservants immediately replaced them with some new refreshments and fruit plates, and then they all respectfully retreated outside, and the room was a lot quieter in an instant.

Dong Shi saw that the servants had retreated before asking, "How is it, I'm still used to it these days, I'm so busy that I can't take care of going over there to see you." ”

Mo Shi smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law is busy with affairs, so you don't need to worry about us, and the past few days have been properly arranged, so I thought of bringing Ruojiu to meet your aunt as a housekeeper." ”

"Hey, don't you make the nine girls laugh, I'm just sharing some tedious and meticulous work for the old lady, you also saw it when you married into the Yan Mansion, the eldest sister-in-law is a talented girl, and she doesn't want to get involved in the mundane things in this mansion, but it's not just that I, a person who hasn't read for a few years, is it just that I'm suffering from someone who hasn't read for a few years, hey...... I'm tired, but it's okay, I studied with my mother for a few years at home when I was a girl a few years ago, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted it. Dong said a little helplessly.

Yan Ruojiu was a little stunned, but she still listened to her conversation with her mother with a smile.

Mo Shi smiled: "The old lady said yesterday that it is our blessing to have a second sister-in-law who is in charge of the entire Yanguo Mansion." ”

"Hey, the old lady is used to giving people sweetness, isn't this also being pinched by the old lady, who made us the daughter-in-law of the Yan Mansion, even if it is a little bitter and tired, this is as it should be." Dong smiled and gave a cup of tea to Moh.

"That's right." Mohs smiled.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, the nine girls have eleven or twelve this year, right?" Dong suddenly turned the topic to Yan Ruojiu.

Mo Shi glanced back at Yan Ruojiu and said, "Yes, Ruojiu is twelve this year." ”

"When you were in the Northland, could the Nine Girls study?" Dong asked.

"It's also reading and playing, and the second sister-in-law also knows that there are few literati in the Northland, and it's difficult to find a suitable master, Ruojiu has just read a few thin books." Mo suddenly became polite.

"Oh, girls, it's good to be able to read some books, the third brother and sister know the inner school in the palace, right?" Dong asked after taking a sip of tea.

"I've heard of it, but isn't that a place for the girls and ladies of the princely family and the county prince to study? The second sister-in-law said this in order to ...... "Mo's heart is bottomless."

"Hey...... You have been in the north for too long, things in the capital are changing quickly, and now because of the will of the eldest princess, the inner school in this palace has long been open to the public, not only the young ladies and girls of the princely family can go in to study, but now as long as the girls and young ladies who are officials above the fourth grade are qualified, our family's Ruolan has entered the palace to study since she was ten years old, and the same is true for Ruoxue girls in the long room. Dong said with a serious look.

"Oh, the eldest princess is wise, so it's a good thing." Mo Shi praised the eldest princess's approach in his heart.

"It's not, in this way, there are remarks about women reading more in and outside the palace, third brother and sister, the nine girls in our family are just the right age, and they should go to the inner school to study for a few more years." Dong suggested with a smile.

"Oh, oh...... Second sister-in-law, don't you know, our Ruojiu girl grew up in the north, and her temperament is not as calm and graceful as the girl in Beijing, so this nonsense temperament is still free, otherwise it will not be a net worry if you really enter the palace and hurt others again. Mo smiled helplessly.

"Hey, look at what you say, I just see that our nine girls have very good rules, what's wrong with the Northland, you, don't think that this girl from the princely and county lord family is so quiet and well-behaved, often the most lively in this school is still their group of people, after all, they are high-ranking and pampered, but the daughters of these family courtiers are more gentle and atmospheric, so don't be presumptuous." Dong disagreed.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, you really don't know the temperament of this crazy girl in my family, it was a headache when I was a child." Mohs seemed to be complaining earnestly.

"Mother......" Yan Ruojiu seemed to be a little distracted, and lowered her head again with a red face after the words fell.

This made Dong laugh and said, "Look, look, the nine girls in our family are not happy." ”

"Mother...... Second aunt ......" Yan Ruojiu lowered her head, blushed, and her small eyes were full of shyness.

Mo Shi also laughed helplessly and said: "Okay, my mother won't say it, don't say it, it's not enough, you little girl is a lot thinner than your second aunt, my mother won't say it." ”

"Mother......" Yan Ruojiu's face was very shy, but she was very helpless in her heart: Mother, let's get down to business, my daughter can't sit still.

Mo Shi Xu heard the expectations in his own girl's heart, and smiled for a long time before closing the smile in the corner of his eyes and said: "Second sister-in-law, let me go back and discuss this matter with my master, but this time we are here for other things." ”

"You have to take this matter to heart, I'm for the good of our nine girls." The Dong family seemed to care a lot about whether Yan Ruojiu was willing to enter the inner academy.

Mo Shi nodded and said, "This is natural, we all understand the second sister-in-law's heart, but I do have other things to trouble the second sister-in-law today." ”

"Hey, what's not troublesome, you can just say anything, as long as I can do it, it's no problem." Dong put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"Hey, it's actually not a big deal, first, I have some household items to hand over to your second sister-in-law first." As he spoke, Mo Shi took out the silver ticket prepared in advance from his cuff and handed it to Dong Shi and said politely.

"What is this for?" Dong Shi glanced at the silver ticket and wondered.

"Second sister-in-law, now that we are back, although we may not live permanently, but the rules in this house cannot be broken, this room must not be handed over to the family on an annual basis, this is our third room." Mo Shi explained with a smile: "It's just that I just came back, and I don't know how much I have to pay per room every year, so I took three hundred taels first, and the second sister-in-law, you take it first, if it's not enough, I'll send it another day." ”

"Hey, third brother and sister, look at you, you are first returning to the capital, there are places everywhere that need money, what are you bothering to do, don't say that you have lived for a year and a half, that is, you have lived for a lifetime, and our Yan Mansion can afford it, so put it away." Dong was polite.

"Second sister-in-law, I know that you are the most distressed, but this rule is the rule, your second room, and the fourth room are not all like this, how can we not abide by this rule in the third room, you are too little?" Mo handed it a little closer.

"Uh...... Look at what you said, you should ask me first, over the years, each room needs more than 100 taels of household space every year, your 300 taels is too much, take some back. Dong told the truth.

"Hey, it's good if it's not less, anyway, I took out the three hundred taels, and there is no reason to take it back, sister-in-law will accept it, we haven't been able to bring some strange things to my sister-in-law and second brother when we come back, these are our minds, sister-in-law, don't shirk anymore, if this is the case again, if something happens in the future, I don't dare to come again." Don't pretend to bluff people.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about, why is the affection between us not as good as these silver coins, it is really chilling, okay, I will take these silver, I will keep it for you first, I will pay it for you, and if it is short of silver taels in the future, you can come to me to get it." After some polite pushing, Dong finally accepted these silver tickets.

Mo Shi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law just accept it, otherwise I don't know what to say about this second thing." ”

Dong put the silver ticket into the cuff and said with a smile: "If there is anything else, you can just say it." ”

Mo said: "Sister-in-law, I want to buy some mother-in-law, children, maidservants and maids, preferably on the border of the capital." ”

"Why don't they listen to the call?" Dong said with a slight frown.

"No, no, the second sister-in-law misunderstood, you know, this palace has already rewarded the house down, we will definitely go out after a while, but I just returned to the capital and was not familiar with the place, I was afraid that when the time came to go out to buy, I was afraid that it would be troublesome when I went out to buy, so I thought that the second sister-in-law has been housekeeper, and you should be more familiar with the matter of buying a maid, so I want to ask the second sister-in-law to help, and I will also buy and train in advance." Mohs explained.

"That's the case, it's not a big deal, it's also a coincidence, some mothers-in-law have retired these days, and some maids of the right age have also gone out, and the house is also trying to buy a new batch of slaves, and the three brothers and sisters are just in time." Dong said with a smile on his face.

"It's just a coincidence, then it's good to dare to be kind, I'm still worried about causing extra trouble to the second sister-in-law." Mohs didn't expect that today would be the right time.

"But it's not, it's these things that I dealt with just now, just now I had to check the people who left the house one by one, so I delayed it for a while, then again, what do you want, third brother and sister?" Dong Shi said with concern.

"Hmm...... There are no requirements for the rough outside, as long as the person is honest and hard-working, the main thing is to find some close service people for Ruojiu and Wen Xiu, after all, Ruojiu is old and wants to live alone, find a careful and patient maid, I can rest assured. Mohs laughed.

"This is easy, I have already arranged it, in a few days there will be a group of mother-in-law to select a group of people to bring into the house for each courtyard to choose, when the time comes, I will let them bring some suitable maids and mother-in-law to your courtyard, let you decide for yourself, what do you think?" Dong arranged.

"That's naturally good, with the words of the second sister-in-law, I can rest assured." Mohs said with a smile.

"Look at you and be polite again, it's just a matter of way, look at you polite." The Dong family became more and more intimate.

Mo Shi also smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law is very busy, I'm not afraid of tired you, but I can only find you for the affairs in this house, otherwise I can't rest assured." ”

"Okay, okay, the more you say this, the more you see it, it's done, you don't have to worry about this, then you just wait to pick someone, but it's the matter of the inner school I told you, you have to use some heart, after all, our nine girls are the daughters of the Yan Mansion, and we should make friends with some girls from the family, this inner school is a good place to go, don't delay your nine girls." The Dong family is very concerned about Yan Ruojiu's entry into the inner school.
