Zhou Xiaoxuan, who was angry, saw his mother's uneasy expression, and suddenly forgot his anger, and said incomprehensibly: "Mother, what's wrong with you, what's going on?" ”

Ye Xinlan sat down when she saw her daughter's worried look, took her daughter's delicate hand and said worriedly: "Sister Xuan, my mother is a little worried, there is a big force behind Zhou Xiaofu this week." ”

Zhou Xiaoxuan's originally worried face suddenly became disdainful, and the words in his mouth were also contemptuous: "Mother, what's wrong with you, what big power can she have with Zhou Xiaofu's eldest daughter, you are thinking too much." ”

Ye Xinlan looked at her daughter's appearance and suddenly felt that this child was not at all like herself, she had no sense of crisis at all, she was short-tempered and impulsive, what good future could she have in the future.

As a senior house fighting master who has lived in a big mansion since childhood, Ye Xinlan knows that only those who know how to forbear can have better opportunities.

A person like a daughter who is easily impulsive and short-tempered, and who does not understand how to hide his feelings is not suitable for living in a big mansion at all, and if he is not careful, he will become a tool to be used.

Ye Xinlan was worried and was about to say something to her daughter, but she saw the maid report that the second young master was here.

It's my son who is out of school.

Ye Xinlan happily stood at the door and personally opened the curtain to welcome her son in.

While asking his son to hurry in and sit down, he beckoned the maid to bring over the ginseng chicken soup that had been stewed in the big kitchen in the morning.

Zhou Xiaoxuan looked at his mother's anxious arrangement for his younger brother, and suddenly felt that he had been neglected, he had come in with anger, his mother didn't ask or say anything, his younger brother came, and his mother seemed to have not seen each other for several years.

Ye Xinlan hurriedly sat next to her son after making arrangements. He stroked his son's head with pity.

Zhou Xiaocheng will be ten years old in September, but he is a precocious boy who knows what he wants and how to get it, so he has worked very hard since he was enlightened at the age of five, but he is very sophisticated.

This time, Ye Xinlan's touch did not make him feel uncomfortable, but smiled and said, "Mother." Is this a thin son? ”

Ye Xinlan looked at her son, who looked like Xianggong, and suddenly laughed, and said angrily: "It's not that I'm thin." Reading is important, but you also need to pay attention to your body. ”

Zhou Xiaocheng smiled and said, "Yes, my mother taught me a lesson, and my son remembered it." ”

Ye Xinlan looked at her humble and polite son, and suddenly thought. It turns out that his advantages are inherited, but he has only passed them on to his son, who is young, but he knows how to endure as well as himself. Be humble and courteous in front of people, and strive to be motivated.

Zhou Xiaoxuan was angry when he saw that his younger brother and mother looked like mother-son affection. I also know that if I didn't have my brother's cunzài, I and my mother would not have been able to gain a foothold in this family.

But seeing that my mother likes my brother more, I feel very uncomfortable, and I always feel very wronged, and I accompany my mother the most on weekdays. My younger brother is busy studying on weekdays, but her mother always loves her the most.

At this time, when I saw the way my mother treated my younger brother, I couldn't help but cry.

Zhou Xiaocheng on the side swept the face of his sister, who was only one year older than him, sitting on the couch, and his psychology was clear. This sister has always been like this, and she doesn't know her feelings at all.

Zhou Xiaocheng smiled and said, "How long has my sister been here with my mother?" ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaoxuan heard Zhou Xiaocheng ask himself, he couldn't help but cry. However, he drooped his eyes, hung his head slightly, and choked with a little unhappiness in his mouth: "A quarter of an hour earlier than you." ”

Zhou Xiaocheng was not angry because of Zhou Xiaoxuan's words, and smiled faintly: "What is the matter with my sister looking for my mother, is it because of the matter of the fourth sister." ”

When Zhou Xiaoxuan heard Zhou Xiaocheng's words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at his younger brother with wide eyes, and when he saw that his younger brother looked calm and did not have any disdainful expression, he suddenly said with a smile: "En." ”

Zhou Xiaocheng knew that this was the case, although this sister was a year older than him, but this mind was similar to that of a seven or eight-year-old child, short-tempered and impulsive, not using her brain, and was punished by her grandmother for kneeling in the ancestral hall a few days ago.

It's hopeless that it's still the same after experiencing it once, and it hasn't changed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaocheng's child's face showed an adult-like helpless expression.

Ye Xinlan saw the interaction between her children and saw her son's expression, and she also understood what her son meant, her daughter really has to teach her well, if she has been like this, it will really be difficult to become a big thing, and it is better to marry a rich family in the future and live a comfortable life, or don't think about entering any high-ranking people, it will be a disaster to enter.

Ye Xinlan thought about it like this, but said lightly: "Sister Xian'er, no matter what rumors there are outside, it is called a rumor, if it is true, then it is called a fact, you don't care what it does." ”

Zhou Xiaoxuan suddenly became aggrieved, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, Ye Xinlan's heart softened all of a sudden, and she immediately stepped forward and hugged her daughter's shoulder and comforted softly: "Okay, my mother is just worried about you, what can I do with your temperament, my mother has told you many times, you must know how to be patient, you must know how to control your feelings, no matter what you do, you can see the shape in front of you in action." ”

Zhou Xiaoxuan listened to his mother's words and thought that a few days ago, because he was too impulsive, he said those words, which caused Zhou Xiaobin's slut to fight with him, and the worst thing was that he was punished for kneeling for three days, which has never happened in the house, and even his subordinates are rarely punished like this.

It's really a loss of face.

Let's not talk about Ye Xinlan's side first, let's talk about the second room first.

The second big thing.

Ma was punished and grounded for a month by the old lady because of the fight between Zhou Xiaobin and Zhou Xiaoxuan, and all the housekeeping rights in Ma's hands were gone.

Although Mrs. Zhou knew that it was absolutely impossible to take a break from the scourge of the Ma family.

Even if you take a break, it can't be now.

So on the second day, people called Ma's mother's family to come over to discuss.

Ma's maiden family is a merchant family, and there were two generals in the first two years, and Ma's is still a concubine, so he is not favored in his mother's family.

This time it was Ma's brother and sister-in-law who came.

This elder brother of the Ma clan is now a lieutenant of the sixth rank and has just been promoted.

Originally, I thought that my sister now has a face in her mother-in-law, after all, what an honor it is to be able to marry the grandson family.

I went happily, but I came back in great anger and loss.

The old lady has no second words, either take your sister home, our Zhou Mansion is not an unreasonable family, this Ma is the first to commit a tongue, the second to teach the children to have immoral behavior, and the third to have no children.

The first two are enough, there is no son, this is to cut off the incense of her second child.

In the past, when it came to concubines, this Ma either pretended to be sick or lost face, and every time her son came to tell her to wait, but this time she was unwilling to wait for a moment.

This Ma Shi is shameless, do you think you have a big face, and you can't be flamboyant without a son.

So tell Ma's brother and sister-in-law, just buy a good concubine and send it in the next two days, or let the maid next to Ma open her face to be a concubine for herself, as long as you can give birth to a son.

In this matter, in fact, Mrs. Zhou is very face-saving to Ma's brother, after all, Ma's brother is now the captain of Zhengliupin, and his official position is not small, and it looks like there is still room for promotion in the future, after all, where is the age.

So this matter of choosing a concubine will be left to Ma Shi Niang to choose by herself, whether you buy one, or a maid to do the same room, this person will let you come out by yourself, and Ma will control this person in the future.

In short, the face is given to you, and you can do it yourself.

Immediately after Ma's brother and sister-in-law said goodbye, they went to Ma's place.

Ma's yard was crying and screaming for half an hour, and finally calmed down before his brother and sister-in-law left.

On the afternoon of the third day, a small sedan chair was brought in from behind, accompanied by a mother-in-law.

It has also spread throughout the house, this is a good concubine that Ma's mother's family bought for the second uncle.

This concubine had to be registered in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, which means that there is no reason why she must not be bought and sold at will like a slave.

Ma was reluctant, and had to agree at this juncture, and then Ma's grounding was lifted, and the old lady said that Ma was going to take care of the second uncle's happy event, afraid that the yard would be in chaos.

Ma originally thought of an excuse to delay for a few days, but who would have thought that the old lady would lift her grounding all of a sudden, and there was no excuse.

However, what made Ma happy was that after the arrangement was made, he also told the master, but the master still rested in the study and did not go to the courtyard of the concubine for three consecutive days.

Zhou Xiaofu also heard these words, and knew that the second uncle was to save some face for the second aunt, and he would be able to take care of the yard in the future.

In the next few days, Zhou Xiaofu was learning the new rules, practicing combat physical skills at night, and at the same time dealing with the news from Sun Wang's side.

According to Zhu Guli's request, his people were also slowly inserted.

And Zhu Guli was also generous, and directly gave 100,000 taels of silver to be used to develop freight stations in various provinces and cities.

With the silver and the backer, this freight station is very fast.

Soon in April, freight operations on both sides of Kyoto and Tsutsu began.

At first, Kyoto and Jindu didn't know about this new type of freight, but when some large families received the small gifts sent by Jian Shang with this Tongda freight, it suddenly spread.

Everyone also likes this emerging freight industry, home delivery, and home receiving.

In the future, you don't have to go all the way to the post station to send letters, as long as you can send letters and small parcels at the nearby station where you can reach the freight station, but the fee is higher than that of the post station.

This fee is just a piece of cake for those who are in a hurry to send letters. (To be continued) R466
