Xia Yan couldn't say why he didn't want to see the Wu family anymore, maybe he forgot about it after too many years.

At his current age, he said that he wanted to be a woman, but he didn't. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just lightly exposed the matter of Mo Xiang two years ago and didn't mention it - his mother's position is very clear, isn't one wife and two concubines enough? His father is nothing more than that!

The family rule that you can't get into a house and you can't take a concubine if you have no children at thirty days only came after Aunt Qing went.

It's just to prevent the maid from messing up.

For Mo Xiang, he didn't like it much, but since the other party had such a meaning, he had nothing to bear, and saying a word in front of his mother was the limit, but no matter how much he could, he couldn't have it.

His mother refused, so he gave up, in the final analysis, no matter how beautiful Moxiang is, she is just a maid.

Xia Yan has always known that the Wu family has a problem with Xia Anchong's brothers and sisters, and they have not been indifferent to them in the past two years.

But it was beyond his expectations that she could do this.

Xia Yan is not a woman trapped in the boudoir, not to mention being in the position of Jing Zhaoyin. He knows far more about things outside than other colleagues, whose family does not repair inside, whose wives and concubines are not in harmony, whose mother-in-law treats concubines and concubines harshly, and whose stepmother raises the son-in-law who was originally matched...... All of this sounds really shocking.

After sitting in this position, he was both afraid and glad in his heart, glad that there was no such vicious woman in the family, glad that he had a sensible and wise old mother, with excellent vision, and the daughters-in-law he picked were all good - he still didn't understand after all, no one was born vicious, but was forced by the acquired environment.

"Sir?" Wu saw him shake his head, so he called out.

"An Chong is also sixteen, right?" Xia Yan replied: "I will pay attention, and you should take care of it more." ”

Wu took the initiative to mention this matter, which meant that she didn't want to worry about it, but since her husband said so, she had no choice but to nod her head.

"Mr. Xueli said that he can also give it a try, and he can't even catch up with the college exam with his fellow initorates next year!"

"Madame bothered, since that's the case, I'll take the exam for him when I go back."

Wu responded, and the husband and wife stopped the topic.

Xia Yan changed his clothes and went to Qingzhu Courtyard to greet the old man.

Wu went to the old lady's house, and when he entered the door, he saw Xia Chu writing his homework at the desk, Xia Bangqiu was frowning sadly at the embroidery shed in his hand, and Mei, who was already pregnant, was smiling and pointing at her.

Vaguely, there seemed to be two wild ducks paddling in the lake on the embroidery shed.

…… can embroider mandarin ducks into this virtue, Xia Bangqiu really has no talent in the female red!

"Mother." Wu asked the old lady to say goodbye, and said again: "I am going to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony soon, but are you still preparing according to last year's list?" ”

"The big girl is newly married, and the Liu family is thickened by thirty percent, and the rest is the same." Luo Ziqian said lazily.

Since the beginning of summer, people have been a little lazy. She is old, and she is not as energetic as these children, even when she takes a nap in the middle of the day, she is also very sleepy, let alone bothering with these idle things.

Wu said to her respectfully, otherwise she had prepared it at home, so why bother to run to her, she still used this intention, and she was very happy with the daughter-in-law she had set.

Hearing this, Wu's face showed two smiles, Xia Xue was her daughter, and she was grateful for her good things, so she said happily: "It's still the mother who loves her, and the daughter-in-law knows." ”

"The big girl was also brought up by me, so I naturally love her. You're her mother, and you should think more about her in everything. ”

"What my mother said is that it's all my mother's business, and my mother has to worry about everything."

"I'm running out of energy right now, so you don't have to ask me about everything." Luo Ziqian didn't want to talk to her about this, and said: "These things have a fixed number, you have been good at feeding over the years, I believe in you." ”

Wu Shi heard that she was sincere, and he was happy in his heart, and said respectfully on his face: "Got it, mother." ”

"Hmm." She half-squinted and nodded.

"One more thing." Wu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The second girl is not small now, and some things should be learned, and the daughter-in-law thought that there would not be much to do this year, so she asked her to take care of family affairs with me." ”

The second girl refers to Xia Bangqiu.

As soon as Xia Bangqiu heard this, he secretly said in his heart: It's here.

Taking care of family affairs is a compulsory course for every girl, especially the daughters of official families like them, who will marry in the future, whether they are in charge of the family or take care of the family business, they all need to learn.

As a modern person, she has a lot of business ideas in mind, but these are not what she should have done when she was a girl.

The things written in the novel that cross the female business to make money to support the whole family, if it falls on the farmer's business, it doesn't matter, but if it is the housekeeper, I'm afraid it's really just a delusion, this is her own personal experience!

Soldiers do not compete with the people for profit, this is not said in vain!

Admittedly, who doesn't have a few money-making shops or something? But those, they won't hang the name of so-and-so in the name of so-and-so, if you really want to do this, just wait for the imperial history to participate in you, and go to prison!

In addition, those rice grain, cloth, rouge and other stores are only a hundred taels of net income a month, and the jewelry shops earn more, but the initial investment is huge, and it is difficult to find craftsmen with good craftsmanship.

However, it is okay to buy houses on the land, and if there are more of them, the output will be extremely considerable. There are even wealthy families who hang their fields in the name of the official family and give some offerings every year...... It's not to save that little bit of money in taxes, but to save less trouble.

The fields have a harvest, and they can live very well on their own sufficiency, and the house can be rented out when they are idle, and they can save the money they usually maintain, and they will also be a lot of money when they are sold in the future.

It can be seen why ancient officials liked to buy land and houses.

Whether it is a shop or a farm, the men don't care, and when the time comes, they will all throw it to the women...... is an official woman in this era, if she doesn't know how to be a director, the market will go all the way down.

"In that case, the second girl won't be used in the afternoon, so follow your mother! Learn more and watch more, remember? "This is the right thing to do, Luo Ziqian naturally will not object, she is not energetic now, but she doesn't have the time to teach her.

Xia Bangqiu hurriedly put the shed in his hand aside, stood up, and responded: "Yes, grandmother, Bangqiu knows." ”

"You female celebrity can't relax." Luo Ziqian happened to glance at it, and was speechless like Wu, and said: "You still have to practice hard, you can't do it like this." ”

Xia Bangqiu's face turned red and bowed his head. (To be continued.) )
