I don't know who it is.

Li subconsciously put down the needle and thread in his hand, brushed his hair and opened the door of the north wing. Since Chen Xiucai went down to Jiangnan, she was naturally worried in her heart, thinking about the day of his return every day, and going back to the village twice a day to look. At this time, when I heard the neighing of the carriage, I couldn't help but think that it was Chen Xiucai who came back with a letter.

The anxiety between Li's eyebrows naturally fell in Chen Xuejiao's eyes, these days it has been difficult for Li's family, working hard at home every day, urging Qi Ping to study, and the only free time is to take Jinghao and Xueru to do needlework together to subsidize the family.

Chen Xiucai has been gone for these days, there is not much silver left in the family, and the salted duck eggs have not been pickled, I really don't know if those silver can last until the day when Chen Xiucai comes.

Chen Xuejiao also hoped that Chen Xiucai had returned to her hometown at this time, or had taken the letter home.

Thinking like this, he walked out of the door of the north wing one step ahead of Li.

The door of the upper room creaked open, and Chen Xuemiao opened the door first. She wrapped her feet, Xue Yao was just able to take a small step on the ground on the day she came out of the pavilion, and she was still unsteady when she walked these days. Hurried out of the house, stepping on a pair of shoes that did not fit in with the feet. Zi, one foot deep and one foot shallow, touched the wound on the toe, and grinned in pain against the door frame.

Usually, Chen Xuemiao never had a good face when she saw Xue Jiao, either baring her teeth or glaring, but this time she regarded her as air and didn't look at her.

Chen Xuejiao stood under a peach blossom tree at the door, her eyes looking out. Under the locust tree at the entrance was a richly decorated carriage with a large T-character written on the curtain of the carriage.

It seems to be the carriage of the Ding Mansion, Xue Yao has never had any contact with the Chen family since she married into the Ding Mansion, nor has she sent someone to the Chen family to deliver a letter, whether she is doing well or bad, all the people in the Chen family don't know.

The carriage outside the door was not delivering news about Chen Xiucai. Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but feel disappointed and turned around to leave. The moment he turned his head, he saw a man sitting on the stone pier behind the carriage, dressed in black, looking into the door with his hands in his hands and smiling, with two loads of things beside him.

Xue Jiao thought for a while. I thought that he was the merchant who shouted at the door of Chen's house every day in the first month. Since Xuemiao's feet were wrapped and he couldn't walk on the ground, this merchant didn't come.

At this time, he was looking at Xue Miao with a pair of peach blossom eyes. Chen Xuejiao only felt that her scalp was numb for a while, and suddenly thought of another thing.

On the day Chen Xueyao left the pavilion, a flower who came to the banquet to eat leftovers had such a pair of peach blossom eyes, holding two steamed buns in his hands, holding a large piece of meat in the bowl, and eating it in a big gulp. Her eyes swept over the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village. At that time, Xue Jiao was very uncomfortable, she only felt that he was familiar, but she didn't expect it to be the flower child dressed as a merchant in front of her.

In order to show their wealth, they would like to let the flowers in the township come to eat leftovers, and the more flowers come, the more they show that the host is kind. When Xue Yao got married, Mrs. Chen and Zhao were mean and stingy. I don't object to letting Hanako eat and drink with joy. Come to think of it, the merchant just took advantage of that opportunity. Dress up as Hanako and mix in the crowd to eat and drink.

Chen Xuemiao stood at the door, looking at the merchant with straight eyes, and her face was as bright as the morning glow set off by peach blossoms. I really don't know if this merchant saw Xue Miao's face privately on the day Xue Yao left the pavilion.

Since the merchant saved Xue Miao's life, she gradually became familiar with the merchant. I know that his surname is Jin, he was originally a scholar, his father passed away, only one mother is in the hall, and there is an elder brother in front of him. He just married his sister-in-law, and his family couldn't afford to provide him with education, so he was called out to sell rouge gouache.

At this time, he also put a book next to his burden, and sold it along the village and alleys, and when the business was weak at noon, he looked for a place at the door of Chen's house to sit down and read for a while.

Chen Xuemiao thinks that he is a good person, she originally thought that the person who studied was only like her brother Chen Qilin, and in the future, she would go to the imperial examination to live a good life, plus this merchant is still willing to endure hardships, and the family is poor and sells rouge gouache with a burden. The merchant can also paint, the last time her sister Xue Yao got married, she knew that he came to the house dressed as a flower child, her feet hurt and couldn't get off the ground, so she deliberately threw a pink and colorful handkerchief from the window.

When I saw it today, he really picked it up, tied it to the merchant's rope, and embroidered a pink peach blossom on it.

Xue Miao's face was red by the peach blossoms on the handkerchief, her complexion was dark, and she couldn't see it when she was red, but the shyness at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes couldn't cover it, and it flowed out nakedly, and it fell into Xue Jiao's eyes without leakage.

There was the first time to save his life, and the second time to send a handkerchief, there were three or four times, this merchant has not entered the village for many days, Chen Xuemiao has been in a state of mind these days, and the original square chin is all flesh and now it is thin to a pointed chin. Since he can walk on his feet, he walks around the entrance of the village every three or five days, just hoping to see him at a glance.

Xue Jiao coughed, Xue Miao didn't realize it, and her eyes were staring at the merchant.

A small servant came down from the carriage, a girl with a high nose with a double snail bun. The girl with a high nose held her burden, looked at the gate of the Chen family, nodded secretly, her eyes showed disdain, and she pointed at Xue Jiao and asked, "This is the Chen family?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Xuejiao to answer, Zhao and Zhang took the lead to the door, smiling all over their faces: "Exactly, exactly, who is this girl?" ”

The girl with a high nose smiled and groaned, and the disdain just now was swept away, and she saluted the Zhao family and the Zhang family together with the little girl, and said in her mouth: "We were sent by my aunt." He hugged Zhao again, "You are my aunt's mother, at first glance, my aunt is as good-looking as you are." ”

If he listened to this flattery in normal times, the Zhao family would naturally be happy, but now he couldn't be proud no matter what. When the girl with a high nose said the word "aunt", Zhao was like pouring a basin of cold water on her head in the wax moon, and she was frozen from head to toe.

In the past few days when Xue Yao has been out of the pavilion, the Zhao family has been tormenting like a pot of oil every day, and she doesn't deliver a letter, so the Zhao family naturally doesn't want to come to inquire in person.

I thought that after coming to the door, with the favor of the old lady of Dingfu, I could have the name of the second lady, but I didn't expect that in the end I would still be an aunt.

Although I haven't seen the rules of a big family, the Zhao family also knows that some aunts are not as good as the maids with good faces. Under the New Year's Festival, the drama sang, the aunt boiled oil in the house for a lifetime, even if she gave birth to a son, it was a concubine who only recognized his mother-in-law and did not recognize his biological mother, not to mention that the end of not giving birth to a son was even worse.

Zhang's didn't care whether her aunt was called an aunt or not, just the style of the maid in front of her made her eyes straight, she hated her own belly and didn't give birth to a girl. If your three boys are replaced by daughters, you can carry one to a big family to be a small one, and you can be as beautiful as the Zhao family.

The little maid and the maid were introduced into the house by the Zhao family. Chen Xuemiao and the little merchant eyebrows went back and forth, one hooked the other, Chen Xuejiao saw that it was really not like words, and shouted: "Sister Xuemiao, your head is full of peach blossoms." Chen Xuemiao woke up in shock, looked at the merchant a few times with a dead eye, stroked the broken hair in front of his forehead with his hand, turned around and followed Zhao with a smile, paused past the peach blossom tree, picked a peach blossom, looked back and smiled, and then raised his feet and left.

When she entered the house, the maid took out the silk and ate it. Zhang's eyes were straight, and Mrs. Chen smiled and held the maid's hand without letting go. Zhao's heart was full of Xue Yao, and he couldn't wait to pull the maid into the house and ask carefully.

The maid kept smiling and chatting with Mrs. Chen. She is Xue Yao's personal maid, she is neatly cleaned up, clean, and wearing good silk. Generally, when a maid from a large family sees a guest, she will always wear a good dress, nothing unusual, and when this maid said that the clothes on her body were rewarded by Xue Yao, Zhao's heart settled down a little. It seems that Xueyao's life is not so difficult after all, this silk is worth a few taels of silver, and it will be rewarded.

When the maid said vaguely, these days, Uncle Ding's mansion has been resting in Xueyao's house every day, and the old lady loves Xueyao so much, letting her manage the kitchen in the mansion to buy, Zhao's face is completely relaxed.

It turned out that Uncle Ding Mansion had set up a house outside to raise Qingbi in the outer house, and bought all the people to wait for her.

This Qingbi thinks that she has captured the heart of Uncle Dingfu, since the last time Qingyu beat her on the day when Xue Yao came out of the pavilion, she can't help but be spoiled and coquettish in private. In addition to not taking Xue Yao in his eyes, he gradually got the idea of the original match, knowing that she was sick and had been dragging on for a few years, thinking that she was about to return to the West, and only one yellow-haired daughter was useless, so she started the idea of entering the door again.

Uncle Ding is not very stupid, he carries a maid next to the old lady as the second lady at home, and the original Wu family's family doesn't care. But if he brings a lowly person into the door, the Wu family will hinder his face, and he still relies on the Wu family to do business, in case he really annoys the uncle of the Wu family, a little trick in business is enough for him to drink a pot. So he made up his mind not to let Qingbi enter the door, Qingbi was a maid when she was a child, she didn't have the momentum of a young lady, she put Miss Girl's score hard, and she made Uncle Dingfu feel bad every day.

This anger, but I thought of Xue Yao's good. I was drunk on the day of marriage, there was no cave room, and I was hooked outside by Qingbi on the second day, and even Xueyao's body has not been next to each other these days. Thinking like this, she went back to the house that day, Xue Yao was tempered by Sister Ai, and she reined in her previous edge, and her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes made Uncle Ding Fu more and more in love. Xue Yao knew in her heart that she had seized this opportunity to seize Uncle Dingfu, and she used all her tricks to serve him comfortably, coupled with her tender and juicy age, Uncle Dingfu actually rested in her house for half a month.

The old lady of the Ding Mansion saw that Xue Yao tied her son to the house, and the Wu family relied on the big business, so she didn't take the Ding family seriously, and only sent a third-class housekeeper for the New Year's gift.

Xue Yao established a firm foothold in the house this time, thinking that her mother and sister were still in the township, she took out her body and bought a three-entry courtyard outside, and took her mother and sister to live. She invited a grandmother and planned to teach Xue Miao the etiquette of the big family. With Xue Miao's background, the average big family will not look down on her, she is not handsome, she doesn't have that appearance to make people small, but she can fill the house for the big family who died of the original match, but she also has a reliance in Xuzhou Mansion.

Xue Yao thought about it for a long time, and as soon as the deed arrived, she sent her personal maid to Chen's house to pick up Zhao and Xue Miao. (To be continued......)
