Hui Yu continued: "The Subei Hou Mansion has been separated, and the affairs of the four rooms are inconvenient and other rooms should not continue to interfere, but I am a girl's family, how can I come forward to take care of the affairs of the family." ”

"If I have a brother, even if it is a concubine, I will fight out, or ask someone or take care of the affairs of the family myself, and keep the family business of the four rooms for my brother."

"It's a pity that I have an orphan daughter, and when I get married in the future, the family business of these four rooms will also be collected into the clan."

"I also want to keep this family business, not to mention whether the clan will let me keep the family business, even if I can't keep it for a few years......"

"But if you don't keep it, no matter which room you are attached to, you will be under the fence, and life will naturally be much harder."

After speaking, Huiyu let out a long sigh.

Fang's mother said: "What the girl is worried about. The old slave believes that the girl is still young and has not yet agreed to marry, and if she strongly supports the four-room family business, she will have to show her head and will not benefit her reputation. ”

Hui Yu sighed: "I know all these things that my mother said. It's not just that my reputation is not good, but it's that I don't care about the nieces of the other three rooms, which is enough to poke people's backbone. Presumably, the eldest uncle and aunt will not let this happen. ”

"In addition, the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt is the patriarch, the patriarch's wife, how to properly settle me is also an explanation for the clan."

"In this way, I have to rely on one of the other three rooms, although they are all uncles and nephews of relatives, and the daily food and clothing will not be less, but if you want to have some surplus on hand, you usually reward your subordinates, and you will have a lot of affection during the New Year, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult."

Fang's mother understood after a little thought: "The girl is very thoughtful. If we go to the other three rooms, we naturally can't leave empty-handed. If we can afford to spend our own expenses, even if we live in other rooms, we can afford to be the backbone. ”

Huiyu also said: "What my mother said is exactly what I think, I don't know how much income is for our four rooms?" ”

Fang's mother was worthy of being Duan's original housekeeper's mother, and replied after a little contemplation: "When the Subei Hou Mansion was divided, the fourth room got some fields and Zhuangzi, as well as two shops, and the usual income was the harvest of the Grange and the income of the shop, as well as the old man's fortune in the army. ”

"At that time, the wife married far away, and there were no shops and Zhuangzi in the marriage."

Hui Yu said: "If I don't keep this business, the clan will take back the grange and shop, and my mother's dowry can't be moved, so how much silver can we use in our hands?" ”

Fang's mother said: "The account book in the house is now in the hands of the eldest lady. I don't know how much silver was spent on the funeral of the lord and the lady, and the clan also took some of it, and the rest of the silver was the private property of our four rooms. ”

Hui Yu muttered: "Now that my father's and mother's funerals have not been completed, it is inconvenient to ask my aunt for the account books. Which mother usually follows her mother to manage the accounts of the house? ”

"It's Mother Yan, and now she is also following her aunt to manage the middle feed in the house." Fang's mother replied.

"I don't know what kind of character this Yan's mother is? Is Mom familiar with her? ”

Fang's mother said: "Mother Yan is the old man of the Hou Mansion in Subei, before the old man got married, Mother Yan was the housekeeper mother in the old man's courtyard. ”

"Later, after Mrs. got married, Mother Yan assisted Mrs. in managing the feed for some time."

"Later, when I got married, I helped my wife manage the middle feed, and Yan's mother took care of other affairs."

"Until the girl is older, the yard needs a housekeeper mother, and the lady is not worried about others, so let the old slave come over, and then use Yan's mother again."

Huiyu asked again: "Mother didn't let Yan's mother follow her to manage the feed-in at that time, what complaints does Yan's mother have?" ”

"The old slave has never heard of this."

"My aunt sympathized with me in bed, and single-handedly managed my father's and mother's funeral, and now that the funeral is not finished, if I ask my aunt for the account book, or ask about the cost of the funeral, I will inevitably be suspected of distrusting the aunt."

"As soon as the funeral is over, the clan will presumably settle my placement. I hate that I don't usually learn much from my mother to learn management and feed, so I don't know the family's accounts. If the clan discusses the placement of the four-room family property, how can I plan for our future if I don't know about it? ”

"That's why I wanted my mother to inquire with Yan's mother, how much money was spent on this funeral, and how much silver can we have in the public school?"

Fang's mother said: "Girl, don't worry, I have worked with Yan's mother for a while, and we are quite familiar with each other, and I will definitely inquire about the accounts in the house." ”

Fang's mother said again: "The girl has thought about it very carefully. In fact, the eldest lady and our lady came to be intimate quickly, and the girl has always been very good, if the girl asks her personally, she will not be annoyed by you. ”

Hui Yu became interested when she heard this, "But the eldest aunt hasn't come to see me since I woke up that time, and I am still not close to me as the eldest aunt?" ”

Fang's mother said: "Originally, every time the eldest lady came to the fourth room, she would come to see the girl. Maybe I haven't had time to come over to the last two rooms. ”

Time is squeezed out, it's all in one house, as long as you have the heart, it's not that difficult to come and see yourself, right? I don't know if this eldest lady is hypocritical? Or is it that you don't bother to deal with yourself when your father and mother are gone? Whatever the reason, Hui Yu didn't plan to trust someone who didn't care about her.

"I hope that as Fang's mother said, I am afraid that some things will change if people go to tea and cool. If you want to blame me, you can only blame my bad life..."

Fang's mother also knew that the reason she said was a bit far-fetched, and comforted: "Girl, don't say that." Madame loves you very much. When the news of the old man's death on the battlefield came, although the lady was grief-stricken, she still told the old slave about her future plans, but who knew that the night passed, and the lady couldn't think about it, so she went with the old man......"

"Mother and father must have a very good relationship, but when my father is gone, my mother is not willing to live alone."

Fang's mother said: "The lord has great respect for his wife, and his wife is in charge of everything at home. Mrs. also respects the master, but it is a pity that the master is in the army all the year round, and the lady only has a child ...... miss."

was able to tolerate her husband's roommate so virtuously, and took the initiative to mention her aunt, thinking that her mother was not a person who was so persistent in her feelings, but why did she finally choose the path of martyrdom? Hui Yu really couldn't understand this approach.

"Maybe it's because I don't have a brother or sister in my life. There's no one to rely on now..."

Fang's mother said a few more words of comfort to Hui Yu, and Hui Yu saw that she had almost said everything she wanted to explain, so she let Fang's mother go out.

I don't know when this funeral will be completed, but if it is done, I will know how much private property is left in the fourth room...... The future is really difficult to grasp, and I can't go out to make a living, and I don't know what my family background is, and in a few years, I will have to wait for which elder will tell me about my family, how can this fate not seem to be in my hands......

Huiyu was depressed...... In the original era, Huiyu was an orphan, relying on herself for everything, and was used to the feeling of holding the initiative.

The most important thing now is to put the property that can be won into the bag, and the other thing is to have a good relationship with the eldest uncle and aunt who is the patriarch, and lay a good foundation for the future host. Hui Yu silently planned in her heart.
