On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, all provinces and families began to dust the New Year. Mother Wang was in high spirits early in the morning and commanded the little maids in the courtyard to clean up together. For a while, there was a smile in the courtyard.

"Mother Wang, can Miss get up?" The red jade servants hurriedly changed into the maid's clothes, and when they saw this scene in the courtyard, they couldn't help but smile and ask

"Up, today is the day of dust removal and welcoming the new year, although the young lady doesn't do anything, she has to get up to express her heart, and the immortals above can look at it." Mother Wang replied loudly.

Ruby couldn't help but chuckle, nodded, and entered the back room.

Sure enough, at this moment, Sister Hui was sitting behind the bookcase with a children's book supporting her head and dozing quietly, and when she heard Hongyu's footsteps, she quickly opened her eyes and pretended to turn the book.

"Miss Hehehehe, it's a slave, and Mother Wang is still outside directing the little maids to sweep the yard." Ruby smiled as she got closer.

Sister Hui smiled shyly when she saw that it was Hongyu, then put the book aside, rubbed her eyes and said, "It's all been arranged after a few days of hard work, right?" ”

"Yes, the slave has changed the silver into stone according to your instructions, the slave and the maid looked at the packing and went on the road, at this time I am afraid that I am entering Beijing with the head of the village, and the slave and maid are afraid that the young lady will return to Beijing one step earlier to return to Beijing to give you a return." Ruby smiled and replied.

Since that day, she obeyed Sister Hui'er's instructions to investigate, and found that the head of the village was filled with three large boxes, and the prepared Yiying Zhuang's production and silver were still in the treasury for half a cent.

She made some inquiries and found that the box was not what it should have been in the usual way, but 100,000 taels of white silver. When I turned over the silver ingots, I saw that it was the dirty silver mark.

She hurried back to the city that night to tell Sister Hui that she knew, and Sister Hui asked her to come back and bring someone to secretly drop the bag, and now the dirty silver has been hidden in a safe place.

"Well, Mother Zhou's side is also ready, just wait for those Zhuang heads to enter the house." Sister Hui relieved herself and nodded

"By the way, when will your young master enter Beijing? I can also arrange Brother Xuan'er's affairs. ”

"The young master still has something to do, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to Beijing until the New Year, he said that he must be right about Miss, so that Miss doesn't have to worry." Ruby replied

"Well, then you can go down and rest first. Tonight, those ladies of the village will also enter the house to be summoned by the old lady to give a banquet, and I can't say that I will have to attend, and you will have to be there at that time, I am afraid that you will be busy. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid will retire first." Hongyu hadn't closed her eyes for three days and two nights, her eyes were full of bloodshots, she nodded when she heard the words, and turned to leave.

"Moqin, I can't stand it, you go and help me watch Mother Wang, I'm going to sleep. In winter, you just have to sleep more to maintain your health" Waiting for Hongyu to leave, he got up from the chair and instructed Moqin, who was waiting. Then he waved his hand and entered the inner room.

Mo Qin looked at it and smiled, squatting down and responding.

At night, the Anning Mansion has changed from the gloomy past, and the excitement of the festival has driven the whole house to be brightly lit and laughing and talking.

According to the order of teeth, Sister Hui is still sitting in front of Sister Jing, and Sister Lian is sitting in front of her.

"Third sister, you said that if this family is divided, we will have a big house" Sister Lian asked quietly in Sister Hui'er's ear

"Naturally, I let the old lady decide. But second sister, if it's divided, do you want to leave? Sister Hui saw that Sister Lian was still worried about being a person in the big house, so she tried to ask, if she could wake up, she could pull it at that time.

"Where can we go, my father is not here, I have to grow up with my grandmother and uncles, how can we survive if we leave." Sister Lian'er's face changed, and she said hurriedly

"The second sister is right." Sister Hui nodded and followed, but her heart hardened a little.

No one can stop anyone's power and wealth, Sister Lian wants to be rich and noble, not her family, so she has to go with her.

After three rounds of drinking, Sister Yan got up and retired. The old lady was helpless, but she still responded and ordered the people around her to take care of her.

Because she summoned the ladies of the village and did not entertain the ladies and ladies who came and went, and the old lady was not in good health, she also withdrew after listening to an excerpt.

Because Qiao's was the hostess, he sat at the banquet and did not allow the ladies to leave again, which could be regarded as holding the scene, so as not to make those female relatives of the head of the village dissatisfied.

Sister Hui didn't like the babbling excerpts very much, and most of the people around her watched them carefully, and Sister Jing almost rolled on the ground with laughter. She was alone and had no one to laugh at, so she was very bored, so she had to peel melon seeds to pass the time.

"Is that funny?" Sister Hui put the peeled melon seeds halfway through Sister Jing'er's palm and couldn't help asking

"It's funny! If the third sister is bored, why don't I go and plead with my mother, let you go back first. Sister Jing smiled while eating melon seeds

"Forget it, I heard that the third aunt has been in a bad mood in recent days, and even Mother Xu has been reprimanded. The third aunt sent someone to say that again, so don't go and block her. ”

"Just your filial piety!" Sister Jing rarely took time out of her busy schedule and glanced at her.

Then he said: "Grandmother's attitude is very tough, but she is not allowed to score, and my mother and father want to help when they see that the fourth uncle is not in tune." Who knew that the sixth aunt went outside to say that her mother forced her mother-in-law to split the family, and ignored the poor and weak uncle's family, neither the clan wife was responsible, nor the eldest sister-in-law's bearing, let alone filial piety to her daughter-in-law. When my grandmother heard this, she was worried, so she came to the door and reprimanded her mother. Naturally, my mother was unhappy. ”

Sister Hui thought that this Chu Yuyi was really a-stirring stick, and with such a stir, I was afraid that the attitude of the original Qiao family's mother would have to be changed. Just because the Qiao family is not virtuous outside, it also has to affect the unmarried girls of the Guangenbo family. I am afraid that this is also the real reason why Mrs. Guangenbo came to reprimand Qiao's family, and by the way, to convey the meaning that Guangenbo Mansion no longer supports her separation. Qiao's family saw that the separation was going on and up, and he was naturally unhappy.

"Speaking of the eldest sister next year, the eldest sister will be in the house, and the gift of the eldest daughter of the Anning Mansion and the house will be done, and then she will marry into the Yongwang Mansion, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of silver, and I don't know how the harvest will be in the village this year." Sister Hui asked tentatively

"Hey, let's do those things! The eldest sister's wedding ceremony and dowry are spent with her own public money. My mother also said a few words to me, saying that this year's wind and rain were smooth, the harvest of the Zhuangzi in the public was good, and the mother's wedding Zhuangzi was also good. It's just that the old lady's Zhuangzi heard that there were locust plagues in two summers, and the harvest was poor. But it didn't make a difference. Sister Jing didn't care much

When Sister Hui heard this, she felt that she was certain in her heart, and even God was in favor of "splitting the family". This is decided!

"Oh, that's good."

"By the way, if this family is divided, where are you going then? The third uncle is still on the battlefield, Brother Xuan is in Jiangnan again, you have a mediocre relationship with the second sister and the ninth brother, and you don't even have anyone to talk to when you go out and live alone. If it's in the house, we can be a companion. "In the past two years, the relationship between Sister Hui and Sister Jing has become more and more deformed. Thinking that if the family is separated, Sister Hui will also go out, so she can't help but be reluctant.

Fortunately, Sister Jing'er stared at the stage with a pair of eyes, not at Sister Hui'er, otherwise what Sister Hui said to Sister Lian'er was smooth, and Sister Jing couldn't help but feel empty-hearted, "Grandmother has her own conclusion, and it's just talking, where can grandmother really be separated if she is still alive, wouldn't it give people a joke." ”

Sister Jing nodded, and snorted, "You are right." ”

This gossip ended here, and the stage happened to be at the top of the stage, a ridiculous scene, but the ending was inexplicably sad, and the male character failed to win the girl's heart in the end, so he had to go away. led the audience to feel sad.

Seeing this, Qiao's let the troupe perform an acrobatic performance, and Sister Jing was even more involved in watching this. Sister Hui can also understand it, and many of the skills are even more magical than those in later generations, and they are also very enjoyable to watch.

Wait until the banquet is over, and go back to the leisurely residence.

At the banquet, Hongyu and Qiu Ju were waiting, and after Sister Hui changed her clothes and washed, the two went back, leaving ink paintings and ink qin at night to make her bed and keep vigil, and by the way, report what the two of them did today.

"Miss, Mother Xu has already cleaned up the house that Xia Sanshao sent as you ordered. Today, the slave maid and Mo Hua helped to arrange the new house neatly, but the room between you and the young master was arranged by Mother Xu and Sister Mo Qi herself. You have to go and check it out when you're free. Moqin replied

"Well, tomorrow, you and the ink painting still have to work hard, take advantage of the rest, quietly go out of the house, and then help Mother Xu and them move over." Sister Hui drew her wide clothes in ink and prepared to lie down and sleep.

"By the way, miss, guess who's next to that house?" Mo Qin suddenly looked at Sister Hui with an excited face
