Whether her uncle got on the thief ship of the second old lady Chu Changxun, Xiusun doesn't know, even if she asks directly, her uncle will think that she has fallen into evil.

And Xiusun has a feeling that the relationship between the Ruan family and the Chu family's small second room is probably closer than the connection between the old fourth room and the small second room.

She originally thought that the old third room was the solid backing of the small second room in terms of financial resources, but now it seems that the Ruan family is incomparable to the old third room in terms of financial resources and fame, and compared with the powerful richest Fang family, and the relationship with the Chu family is closer, and the only sister of the head of the family is married to the only son of the Chu family. It is also inevitable that the Ruan family and the Chu family will establish a cooperative relationship.

The Ruan family is a somewhat special existence in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a very embarrassing thing for the scholars to abandon books and follow business, but the reputation of the ancestor of the Ruan family is too great, and if the people of Shilin do not express their admiration, they will not be stylish enough, so that the Ruan family is under the shadow of their ancestors and can be regarded as the name of Confucian merchants. This should also be the reason why the second old lady tends to choose the Ruan family.

When did my uncle join the second old lady?

"Knock", what sound, muffled, scared Xiusun, opened his eyes and looked, the turquoise water in front of him was rippling, on the other side of the water pavilion, my uncle sat on the pony, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and said with a smile, "Little girl, my uncle is hooking here, you feed the fish next to you, this fish has eaten your osmanthus cake, can you still eat my bait?" ”

Hey? Xiusun found that she was sitting in a circle chair, facing the water through the railing of the water pavilion, and the osmanthus cake in her hand had been broken in half, and many of them had fallen into the pool.

yes, such a bad person is a good thing, it's really not authentic. What's more, it was her mother who cried and shouted to eat sour soup fish, so her uncle took her to the garden to fish.

She smiled and put away the osmanthus cake, put it in the white porcelain dish on the flower table next to her, patted the hem of the clothes full of pastry dregs, and smiled at Aunt Lin who was waiting on the side, "Uncle and Aunt Lin are fishing, Xiusun went to change the hot tea for my uncle, and by the way, I went to the kitchen to see if the soufflé rolls were baked, my uncle ate beautifully, and the fish caught were delicious." ”

After saying that, he ran away. Uncle smiled and said helplessly, "Slow down, this ghost." Tell Ah Hong to hurry up.

Ah Hong is the uncle to Xiusun to find the maid, his father was the head of the dart board, since childhood martial arts, later his father died, for the family's livelihood, Ah Hong went to the dart board to follow the dart, these days the coast is not very peaceful, many women go out to always hire two female dart masters to follow, just buy a rest assured.

Ah Hong also has an elderly mother and two young brothers at home, and it is inconvenient to take care of them outside, but now that she heard that the Chu family gave a lot of silver, she could take her mother and younger brother to Pukou together, so she immediately agreed. But he clearly said that he would not sign the deed of sale, but only do the employment relationship, and Ruan was also very happy, and directly gave Ah Hong's monthly money to the guard, and arranged a house for Ah Hong's mother and younger brother on the nearby wedding Zhuangzi, her mother could take some work on the Zhuangzi, and the younger brother could also follow the old Xiucai near the Zhuangzi to read and write. Ah Hong couldn't be more satisfied.

Uncle also said that Ah Hong's character was tried repeatedly by him and was trustworthy.

Xiusun was relieved when he heard this, businessmen are profit-seeking, and they have seen a lot about the dark side of human nature, and those who do business will never casually look at this person and trust him, if the shopkeeper wants to entrust the young man under his hand, he must always try to tempt, such as deliberately throwing a dime of silver in an inconspicuous corner under the counter, and the young man will inevitably find when he sweeps the floor.

Since my uncle said that he had tried it repeatedly, Ah Hongken had gone through many similar temptations and could use it with confidence.

The next day it was the day to go to school in Jiangpu's old house, after the beginning of winter, there was a light snow in Pukou, a fine, thin layer, applied on the wet ground, like shaking off the osmanthus cake dregs, in a blink of an eye.

Although the snow could not be saved, the weather was still cold, and the Xiusun sisters all put on gray squirrel skin cloaks and got into the car with a small hand stove in their hand cages.

Before coming back last time, Xiusun left Ren's mother in the old house in Jiangpu to take care of Chu Xiuyi for dinner, because this time it was the little magpie who accompanied Xiusun in the car, and Ah Hong sat in the back car.

The leaves of the trees beside the road have fallen off, and it is not easy to tell what kind of trees they are by the trunk alone.

Xiuqian fell asleep leaning on her nurse, snoring slightly like a pig.

Uncle's car opened the road in front, followed by a few carriages full of New Year's gifts, there were only three carriages on weekdays, and this time it suddenly became ten cars, Xiusun looked at the continuous convoy, and suddenly felt like a different world, in the previous life, he followed the imperial grandmother to travel with a long convoy of honor, but there was less Ke Xuan who rode through the window from time to time.

This time, Xiusun and their family came to the old house in Jiangpu and got the highest standard reception, and they were greeted at the door by the third old man Chu Lun, who was the oldest of the same generation as his uncle among the children of the family, and he was the son of the second old lady Chu Changxun.

The uncle got off at the door, and the carriage of the ladies entered through the side door and went directly to the Hanging Flower Gate.

The housekeeper mother next to the third wife came to greet Aunt Lin, and Xiusun took Aunt Lin to greet the old lady and wife in each room, and came out of the courtyard of the second room.

Later, Xiusun heard that several old ladies and masters were at home, and they opened a banquet in the outer courtyard to pick up the wind for their uncle, and they wondered in every way that several old ladies and masters were really idle and coincidental, and they couldn't help but use too much force, and then remembered that her uncle was a fellow jinshi, and he was more powerful than most of those gentlemen, and he should receive this courtesy.

Later, it is unknown whether the uncle and the second old lady cooked wine and tasted tea alone.

When the Xiusun sisters stepped into the school, most of the classmates were already there, and they still greeted each other as usual, while Xiuqian and Xiuyun quickly stuck together and ran back to the back seat to whisper.

It was normal until Xiusun sat down behind her desk when she noticed that something was wrong, and the stack of rice paper on the table had passed.

This is not difficult to find, because the top one is crumpled, and when you open it, the thick stack at the bottom has been cut into pieces.

Xiusun remained silent, and glanced around, several classmates looked evasively, and Xiuman looked at her and smiled defiantly.

Xiusun immediately understood what was going on, it must have been discovered that she was secretly helping Chu Xiuyi, and she successfully attracted the attention of Chu Xiuman, the third lady of the long room.

This stack of shredded rice paper represents Chu Xiuman's anger and warning, which can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment, if she continues to help Chu Xiuyi, she should face a stricter punishment.

Xiusun pursed her lips, raised her voice and called the little magpie in, and told her to go back and get her a new stack of rice paper.

Xiusun thanked her happily, and never raised her eyes to look at the classmates who secretly paid attention to her, nor did she look at Shang Xiuman defiantly.

In her opinion, this is simply a scare snake, and clearly told her that this "snake", Xiusun, if you don't make a killing move, you will be unlucky, come on, I am optimistic about you.

Well, I'll try. (To be continued.) )
