Yutan thought about it again and again, what her mother said to show her goodwill, that is, she just said it in her mouth, she could only soothe with good words, and the little power in her hands was given by her father, and her father could take it back at any time.

Yutan has no choice, in front of her father's authority, she can only give Brother Shen a reminder.

"Did Brother Shen come in today? You send him a letter and ask him to come and see me, I have something to say to him. ”

It wasn't until the evening that Brother Shen came, wearing a thick cotton suit and a red cloak.

"Second sister, what are you looking for me?"

Yutan saw that his little face was flushed, and he knew that he had drunk, "Shen'er came from grandmother?" ”

"Second sister, I have new furs in my shop, it's so warm to wear, I gave my grandmother a sable skin, my grandmother was happy to see it, and left me to drink, second sister, I want to get you back, the fire fox skin is good-looking, but the shopkeeper Liu is staring closely, I can't get it back."

Yutan looked at his eyes shining, looking like he didn't know the difficulties of the world, and couldn't help sighing, even he understood after his mother said it thoroughly, Brother Shen was still too young, Yutan didn't know how to speak, hesitated for a while, then rubbed Brother Shen'er's head and asked Brother Shen, "Do you know the poem Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

Brother Shen smiled, "That's Lao Du's poem, I can memorize it." ”

"It's useless if you can carry it, you still have more than 30 families under your command, what do you use to support them? Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, these subordinates are also going to celebrate the New Year, and now that they are with you, what benefits have you given them? Follow a little master like you, until they will have nothing to eat. ”

Brother Shen was a little surprised and said, "Second sister, you are really thoughtful, even Lamei said something like this, she said that the silver is running out of money, let me take some silver from the shop when I check the accounts in two days." ”

"You think you can take the money you want? You can't even read the account book, don't you have to listen to Shopkeeper Liu? He said that the shop is losing money this year, and your grange can't collect much rent, I see what you will do then, and the money you collect will have to last for a year. ”

Brother Shen grinned, "Then second sister, what do you say I should do?" The shopkeepers kept saying that the business was difficult, and I had no choice, so I begged my father and it was over. ”

Yutan's heart softened, Brother Shen was still so young, where could he think of those, so he stretched out his hand to Brother Shen'er's head a little, "It's always me who owes you." ”

As he spoke, he opened the cage and took out a box, which contained two hundred taels of snowflake silver.

"This is what my sister has slowly accumulated in the past few years, Shen'er will use it first, let those people under your command pass this year first, and then you will send them all to Zhuangzi to farm in the spring. Shen'er is still young, and you don't need those people to serve, you can't understand the accounts in the shop, and what Daddy gives you is a small shop that is not very profitable, now you have passed this difficulty first, and then you can't let your people have nothing to eat, you beg Daddy to send someone to help you get the silver back, otherwise, your subordinates are hungry and make trouble in front of Daddy, although Daddy will eventually take care of you, your face will not look good, and when the time comes, Daddy will say that you are too young to hold people hostage. These shops will return to the Hou Mansion again, and your family will be counted as a vain share, and you won't get anything. Sister is all for your good. ”

Brother Shen'er's black grape-like eyes flickered, "Second sister, is this what my mother told you?" What else did the mother say? ”

Yutan hesitated and said, "How do you know that it was my mother who told me?" My mother said that you should sell the shop she gave you to save the emergency, but I wondered, you really can't sell that shop, and Daddy can't say that you are a loser? Say why don't you tell him when you encounter something, and you will feel good when the time comes. ”

Brother Shen smiled, "I'll just say, how did the second sister think that Baba wanted to give me this silver." ”

Saying that, he stood up lazily, "Second sister, you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well now, wait until I really don't have any money, then I don't care about my sister, now I have enough money in my hand." He stood up and took his leave.

Yutan saw that Brother Shen didn't take the two hundred taels of silver, so he forced it into him, "I don't want to help you, I just pity your subordinates who have no food to eat, this cold day, it's almost the New Year, you can't be hungry, how can you let those people live." After speaking, his eyes turned slightly red, "Shen'er, you are still young, you don't know that those people are having a hard time." ”

comforted him again, "Daddy loves Brother Shen, this time I just want to teach you a lesson, you don't have to care, after all, Daddy won't ignore you." ”

"Sister, how do you know that those subordinates are having a hard time? You also said you wanted to help them. ”

"You, you haven't suffered a little bit when you've grown so big, what can you know, obediently put away the silver, take it back and give it to Lamei's family, and let them help you arrange it, you just tell Lamei, what is missing, let her send a little maid to come to me, I'll help you find a way, and I'll send you a car of good things in two days, and you keep it for the New Year."

Brother Shen took Yutan's hand and smiled, "I know that the second sister is the best with me, and I am also the best with my sister." ”

Yutan's heart was sweet, and he said angrily, "Leave your sweet words to your grandmother, my sister is not rare." ”

Brother Shen whispered in her ear, "Sister, I have a way, you will know in two days, I won't tell you first." ”

Yutan couldn't help but smile, and didn't take his words seriously, there were snowflakes floating outside, Yutan personally helped Brother Shen tie the cloak, and took a hat for him to put on, and carefully instructed, Brother Shen went back with the perilla red tassel. The mother-in-law sent by the second lady has been escorting Brother Shen to the courtyard gate of Biwu's study, before going back, Qiuyue leaned on the door and looked, saw the two mothers-in-law, and said with a smile, "The two grandmothers have worked hard, come in and drink hot ginger soup to warm up." ”

The two mothers-in-law smiled and excused themselves, "Miss Qiuyue doesn't have to be busy, it's not too cold, we have to go back on an errand." Qiu Yue said a few words to them there, and saw that the two of them had gone away before coming back.

Chunhua boiled the hot ginger soup early, and the two little maids, Jiangxian and Bai Xue, were also busy helping Brother Shen widen the big cloak outside, and the room was full of laughter and laughter, and it became lively in an instant.

Brother Shen drank the hot soup, and after a while, his whole body was warm, and several big and small maids looked at him with a smile, and Brother Shen felt a warmth in his heart, "What about my sister Lamei?" Let my sister Lamei come over for a while. ”

Qiu Yue smiled and said, "Childe, you don't know, Zhang Shun's family is the most well-behaved person, how can she be willing to enter the house." ”

Lamei has been married for a few months, and it is logical to be his housekeeper, but thanks to Lamei's careful calculation, the subordinates in his hands are not messed up, and it is difficult for him to be loyal to a little master like Brother Shen.
