The uncle's wife is Liu's maternal brother and sister, her surname is Hu, her family is in the grain and oil business, and she is familiar with the Liu family because of business dealings.

When a woman marries, the richer the dowry, the more straight her waist is in her in-law's house, and she dares to speak loudly. Since marrying into the Liu family, the backyard has been well organized, the dowry shop has been rectified, and the income has increased year by year. Liu's younger brother sometimes asks her about business matters and discusses with her. But the Hu family is so capable, but in front of Liu's younger brother, she is still supple and abnormal, as long as Liu's younger brother says everything, she will obey the order and not say a word. And the second elder of the Liu family was also she serving the decoction in front of the bed before her death, at that time, Liu's younger brother did not rush back in the layman's business, she took care of the Liu family inside and out, and took care of the second elder's aftermath properly, even the Liu family respected her.

Over the years, the Liu family's business has been getting better and better, and this is also thanks to the credit of Jiang Xun, the brother-in-law who is an official, so the Liu family and the Jiang Mansion have become more intimate, and there will be contacts from time to time.

Along the way, Jiang Zhi was talking about how much her uncle and aunt loved her, and her cousin and cousin grew up with her since she was a child, and treated her like a sister.

Jiang Weiran was not to be outdone, and said that he went back to his uncle's house and got those good treasures, and the two of them came and went, not to be outdone, and quarreled all the way into the main room.

Hu handed over the box. Said: "The master said that my sister has loved these delicate gadgets since she was a child, and I saw it on the road, although it is not very expensive." Winning in Jingqi, I bought it and gave it to my sister to enjoy. ”

Liu took the box and opened it, full of beads and flowers strung with beads, some strung into animals, some strung into flowers, the craftsmanship is not very good, but the color matching is good. It is rare that there are a few beads that are not usually seen in color.

"It's hard for him to remember that." Liu smiled at his subordinates. She loves to play with beads since she was a child, and when she was a child, she liked to string pearls the most, but later felt that the pearls were too monotonous. I just want to make up some beads with different eye colors. At that time, the family was not very wealthy, and even the income from doing business was barely enough to support the family, and her little hobby could not be satisfied. Later, she slowly lost her mind. I don't want to spend all these years. My brother still remembers, but it's not in vain that she loves her brother for so many years, and she is so tolerant of everything.

When Hu saw that she had accepted it, he immediately smiled even more happily. When she came, she complained that it was too cheap to give away such a few beads, and she couldn't take them, but the lord said that they couldn't afford to give them to her sister and wouldn't accept them, so these things were fine. I can't say that they sent something, and things were better. She came nervously. At this time, it can be regarded as a peace of mind, and the sister and brother are the sisters and brothers.

Hu Shi looked left and right, and the people in the room were all Liu's henchmen, and this matter couldn't be spread, and he was about to speak, when a surprise cry came from the door, and soon a small lump of meat threw himself into his arms.

"Auntie, it's been a long time since you've come to see Weiran." Jiang Weiran threw himself into Hu's arms and coquettishly.

Jiang Zhi took a step into the house slowly, feeling annoyed, walked over and saluted, and said with a straight face: "How old are you still coquettish in your aunt's arms, are you ashamed?" Stand up straight and salute me. ”

Jiang Weiran grimaced at her in Hu's arms, not scaring her at all.

was interrupted, and it was not easy to bring up at this time. Hu Shi pulled Jiang Zhi with a smile, looked up and down, and praised: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, our Ah Zhi is more beautiful, and she has more sister's demeanor, and she has learned the rules well." ”

Jiang Zhi blushed from praise and said in a low voice: "My aunt will laugh at me." ”

This little girl's attitude provoked Hu Shi to laugh again, and took out a box from the maid's hand sideways and handed it to their sisters and brothers, and said, "This is what your Cousin Guangwu and Cousin Xiaojun asked me to bring to you, do you like it?" ”

Jiang Zhi opened it happily, took out the contents of the box, and said happily: "Thank you, aunt and cousin, I like it very much." ”

The box contained a whole set of pink headdresses, and the little girl wore them just right.

Liu's eyes were full of smiles, but his mouth still said with disgust: "She is a child, why is she spending this money." ”

Hu Shi didn't care, took Jiang Zhi into his arms, and said, "Our Zhi girl is so cute, of course we have to dress up well." Besides, this is summer, and there will be more banquets in various provinces, and we can't go out too plainly. ”

Liu thought of the flower viewing banquet in Changningbo Mansion a few days later, and suddenly felt that the gift given by the Hu family was good, and it was simply that someone would send a pillow when he fell asleep.

Jiang Weiran saw that the box contained the girl's things, and suddenly lost interest, and hurriedly opened his box to see what was inside.

"Huh? Is it a book? Jiang Weiran shouted, with a hint of loss in his voice.

Liu glared at him, and called out to him in a long voice: "Weiran." ”

Jiang Weiran was still afraid of the Liu family in the end, so he packed the book and thanked the Hu family with a smile.

"Brother and sister, don't blame, he is a child, especially when Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun came recently, they have brought him into a little leather monkey, and he only thinks about playing all day long." Liu explained.

When the Liu family came back, she heard that Jiang Quinoa had come to the capital, this child who was raised in Huguang's hometown, she hadn't seen it once since she married into the Liu family. I used to wonder why Jiang Xun and the Liu family were in the capital, but they left the children alone in their hometown. In the past, it was said that the old man was reluctant to have a child and wanted to stay with a companion, but Jiang Xun's wife has been gone for so many years, but they never opened their mouth to take the child over, so they can't help but want to be crooked.

Last year, the holy decree to reward Jiang Quinoa came out, and the lord always regretted that he should have taken the child to raise him in the first place, otherwise the holy decree would not be given directly to Jiang Xun, so that his reputation could also be beaten, and he could take this opportunity to move his official position. But when I thought that if the child had already received it in the capital, I couldn't say that there would be no such thing as donating food and receiving rewards. In the end, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and people are not as good as heaven.

Jiang Xun's promotion came too suddenly, and he also went to Huguang suddenly. Later, as soon as they heard that Jiang Quinoa had come to the capital to obtain the holy decree, the lord immediately said: "My eldest niece is a lucky star. Wangjiali. "She came back to pay a visit to the lucky star.

"Children are more active, and I like to be lively and smart like Weiran. When I was a child, Guangwu didn't like to talk or move, you told him ten words, and he only replied to you for a while, at that time I was worried that he was not a fool, and I was so sad that I couldn't even eat in those years. If it weren't for all these years, he still didn't like to talk when he grew up. There were no other problems, but my hair was gray. Hu Shi remembered those days when he couldn't sleep well day and night, and he couldn't help but tear a handful of bitter tears.

How was Liu not worried at that time. The younger brother only got Guangwu, the son of his own son, if he is really a fool, what if he earns a huge family business? Fortunately, in the end, I learned that it was a false alarm, and Guangwu just liked to be quiet and not to move. The head melon is still flexible. I like to read the most, if it weren't for the identity of the businessman at home, I wouldn't be able to come back from the exam.

The little maid outside lifted the curtain, and Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun entered the house.

Hu Shi looked at the two carefully, knowing that one of them was Jiang Quinoa, and the other was a young lady from the Jiang family, but he didn't know who was who.

Since Jiang Quinoa entered the house, the smile on Liu's face unconsciously retracted. She pulled out a smile and introduced to Hu's: "This quinoa." This is Chun'er. He said to the two of them, "Come and see your aunt." ”

Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun hurriedly saluted.

Hu was born in the family of Shangjia, when he was a child, he also saw his father entertaining guests at home, and she still learned some fur from these words and eyes, she was keenly aware of the change in Liu's attitude, and secretly paid attention to it, and still had a smile on her face, holding Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun's hands and saying: "What a thoughtful little girl, no wonder your mother and your aunt want to hide you, for fear that people will see it." ”

I thought that such a big girl should be able to understand such a vague joke, and she would be blushing and unable to speak, who would think that Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Zhi would not hear her outside the voice, and the two said modestly: "Where and where, it looks average, at most it is beautiful." ”

Hu was suffocated, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Liu Shi rubbed his eyebrows, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, since Jiang Quinoa came to the capital, she had a headache less than twice a year, but it became two times a day.

"Speak well, no matter how naughty you are, carefully I will tell Mama Zheng to teach you the rules well." Liu's teaching.

Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Zhi hurriedly saluted and admitted their mistakes.

Only then did Hu Shi find his voice, took off the two bracelets on his hand, and one of them wore one, and said, "The first time we meet, let's take it to play." ”

Seeing that the Liu family nodded, Jiang Quinoa and the others put on the bracelet with peace of mind and thanked the Hu family.

Jiang Zhi also has a lot of meeting gifts such as bracelets and jade pendants, she doesn't envy Jiang Quinoa for getting a different gift at all, she happily pulls Jiang Quinoa over, and opens the box to Jiang Quinoa like a treasure.

A few small people got together to talk about the meeting ceremony, and the conversation was lively, and at such a time, Hu Shi was not good at mentioning what he was going to say today, and asked who Mama Zheng was.

Liu said: "The master said that Ah Quinoa has also reached the age of kissing, so let me take her to the banquet a few more times, so as to open her eyes and get to know more people." You also know that she grew up in the countryside since she was a child, her words and deeds are vulgar, and even the etiquette rules are a mess, the girl of the Li family is about to get married, and the nurturing grandmother invited by the family is just looking for a marriage, so she recommended it to me. Mama Zheng is also an old person in the palace, and the rules are naturally good, even the intricate relationships between the previous families She knows that it is good to have such a person to teach, so I invited Mama Zheng to come over, she just came today, do you want to meet. ”

The Hu family also met, but it was not early at this time, and she had just come back from her hometown, and she came to Jiang Mansion before the things in the house were cleaned up, and she was still thinking about her home.

"It's not early, Mama Zheng must have to rest when she first came, see you next time." Hu Shidao, he still had an idea in his heart, thought about it, and said, "Sister, I don't know how much silver you need a year to invite this Mama Zheng?" ”

Liu Shi listened to her inquire about this, and said: "It's not much, one hundred and fifty taels of silver a year, plus four seasons of clothes, and four seasons of etiquette." ”

The price is really not high, Hu Shi is relieved.

"Why do you ask about this?" Liu asked.

Hu Shi rubbed his handkerchief, pursed his lips and smiled: "Isn't it that Xiaojun is getting older day by day, her father has loved her and spoiled her since she was a child, and she has been spoiled so much, and the rules are still a mess, what can I do in the future." I thought that if this kind of upbringing didn't cost much money a year, and our family could afford it, I would invite her to come back and teach her the rules well. ”

Liu nodded yes, and said; "The idea is right, let's be strict with the girls' families, it's all for their good, but don't be pampered now and reluctant to endure hardships, and they will suffer even more in the future."

"Who's to say it isn't." The two of them took up the children's scriptures.

In the end, Liu said: "I don't think you need to ask for advice from the outside, people who don't know each other outside, and they don't know what the character is, and it's not easy to find someone who knows the roots." If you can trust me, send Xiaojun over and learn the rules with Ah Zhi and them. Xiaojun has been stable since she was a child, and she is obedient and sensible, and she can let these leather monkeys see it when she comes, and she will have a little more pressure. ”

Hu Shi stroked his palms and laughed: "There is nothing better than this." The two agreed like this, and said that Ming'er would let Xiaojun come over, and the Liu family would talk to Mama Zheng about it tonight, and by the way, the annual silver would also be added.

Hu Shi was not worried about his family, so he left in a hurry without even leaving dinner.

After dinner, the Liu family left Jiang Quinoa and told them to get up tomorrow, the rules should be set up, and sooner or later they should come to the main room to ask for peace, and they were not allowed to sleep lazy.

Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun grew up in the countryside since they were children, and they don't have the habit of sleeping lazy, but since they drove the maids away from the yard, the doors are usually closed, and people outside can't see the movement inside, so they naturally think that they are still sleeping.

When passing by the small garden, Jiang Qu paused, pointed to the place where the black and dark came out, and asked, "Did you find your father and Master Li there?" ”

Cai Lu carried the lantern, followed her fingers and looked at it reassuringly, it was dark in the distance, and she couldn't see anything clearly, shook her head and said, "I don't know, and the woman didn't explain it clearly." ”

When something like this happens, the first reaction is to cover up the matter, and it is strictly forbidden for the people below to spread it around. The Liu family has been in charge for all these years, and it is not difficult to suppress this matter. The subordinates only dare to avoid talking about one or two sentences among themselves, although each legend has noses and eyes, but after all, they have not seen what happened, most of them are speculated by themselves, and they are not very credible.

A group of flying insects saw a light flying over, and flew around the lantern, trying to find a place to pounce so that they could burn themselves in the fire, chasing the light of that moment.

Jiang Qu quietly looked at the corner of the garden where he couldn't see his fingers for a moment, and said, "Let's go." (To be continued......)
