Chapter 202: Seriously
The next day, the Shen Lan sisters and Xiao Shi had just finished breakfast, and Shen Da, who was guarding the door, hurriedly ran in from outside, stood at the door and rushed into the house and said, "Madam, there are many people outside the door, saying that they are visiting relatives." ”
Hearing this, Shen Lan was a little inexplicable, where did this relative come from? So Shen Lan asked, "Who did they say?" ”
"It is said that the surname is Wang, and it was brought by yesterday's uncle." Shen Da replied.
After listening to Shen Da's words, Shen Lan was a little confused, what does this Wang family mean? The day before yesterday, the uncle of the Wang family did accompany his father-in-law to pick up his mother-in-law, why did he organize a group to come to her to watch now?
"Madam, is my uncle really going to let his family come here to work?" Xu couldn't help but speak, and suddenly felt funny and angry at the Wang family's approach, good relatives don't do it, they want to run over to be slaves and maids, this person is too speechless.
was reminded by the Xu family, Shen Lan also remembered that this uncle of the Wang family saw that she was having a good life here, and she had to let her family work, but Shen Lan didn't take it seriously at all, wouldn't it be serious?
Thinking about it like this, Shen Lan was depressed, when did she agree to let people come to work? What do they mean when they come to the door at this time? Could it be that you really want to come and be her subordinate?
"Mother Xu, you go and ask what is going on, if you really come to work, you will think of a way to go back, what are you kidding, serious relatives don't do it, they want to come to me as a servant, is there anything wrong." Shen Lan was depressed to death, how could there be such a person who did not play cards according to the rules.
"Yes, ma'am." Xu Shi answered, and then followed Shen Da.
"Eldest sister, is this good? No matter what, it's the uncle's house of the brother-in-law's family, so you let Mother Xu take care of it. Shen Mei on the side spoke with a little worry.
"Let Mother Xu ask first, if you come to the door as a guest, it will be nothing for me to entertain a meal, but if you ask for something, you also know who I am, and now I don't go to see them to save some face, and it is better for Mother Xu to send them away than for me to refuse in person." Shen Lan said lightly.
Shen Mei didn't want to say anything when she heard this, so she had to reply: "What the eldest sister said is true." ”
Seeing that Shen Mei was reluctant to compromise, Shen Lan couldn't help but speak: "Mei Niang, no matter what, they are relatives of your brother-in-law's family, how can I let them come to work with me, when they do something wrong, I can still punish them, since I know that there will be trouble in the future, why should I take the matter on my body at this time to attract people." ”
"But after all, they are my brother-in-law's maternal uncle, and my sister is not afraid of attracting criticism from her brother-in-law in the future if she acts like this?" Shen Mei asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Shen Lan smiled and said, "So I asked Mother Xu to reply." ”
Hearing this, Shen Mei thought about it for a while, and then understood Shen Lan's intentions, and then showed a relieved smile, as long as her brother-in-law didn't blame the eldest sister in the future, as for other things, Shen Mei felt that her eldest sister had a plan in her heart, since she said that she couldn't use it, naturally she had a reason.
Xu walked to the door, and sure enough, he saw the uncle of the Wang family who was the leader, so he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Why is my uncle free today?" ”
"I'm here to find my niece and daughter-in-law, and I have something to discuss with her." Uncle Wang doesn't talk about the Xu family, no matter what, this woman is just a servant woman next to the daughter-in-law of the Song family, what master can she be?
Xu didn't mind, he still said with a smile on his face: "Uncle came unlucky, my wife went to Jixian County early in the morning, if there is anything wrong with my uncle, I should tell the old slave, and when the wife comes back, the old slave will report her." ”
Uncle Wang is also a sincere person, and he doesn't think that Xu is lying to himself, at this time, when he heard Xu say this, he immediately said: "It's what I told my nephew and daughter-in-law yesterday, I brought my mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law today to see if she can arrange some work to do." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Xu's face froze, did he really bring someone to grab the job? Xu sneered in his heart, looking at the meaning of his wife, he knew that it was impossible to let these people stay, and when the time came, would he raise a person or a master?
"Uncle, please be cautious, when did my wife agree to arrange work for a few wives and young ladies? The son of a daughter is not in the hall, but the uncle brought me my wife's elders and relatives of the ordinary generation, where can I be my wife's subordinate, and besides, there are rules for being a subordinate, which is to establish a deed, and you can't wronged a few wives and young ladies from good people to lowly people. Xu hurriedly said.
"Huh? What kind of lowly status, isn't it just working for a few days with my niece and daughter-in-law? Uncle Wang immediately shouted.
It's a shame that the Shen Mansion is located in a remote area, so the uncle of the Wang family can't attract any others if he shouts like this, otherwise Shen Lan will make a joke here.
"Uncle, besides, the millet is about to turn yellow, you bring a few wives and young ladies to my wife, who will cut the millet in this field? Who will plant the seedlings in the second half of the year? Xu asked.
In a few days, the farmer will be busy, and the uncle of the Wang family naturally understands it in his heart, but after going home yesterday and telling Shen Lan about the situation here, several mothers-in-law in the family couldn't sit still, and they clamored to come and take a look, so he had to take everyone out early this morning, in fact, according to his meaning, he also wanted to wait until the farm was busy.
But her mother-in-law said that since Shen Lan is so rich, the salary she gives will definitely not be less, and when the time comes, her own grain and fields will be hired for short-term work, so that people are not so tired, maybe they can fall a lot.
But this could not be said to the Xu family, so the uncle of the Wang family was suddenly a little speechless, and pondered for a long time before asking, "Is the nephew and daughter-in-law really not at home?" ”
Xu nodded with a smile and said: "It's true that I'm not at home, my wife went to the county to pick up my uncle and young master back, after all, the farm is almost busy, and the school is also going to have a holiday, so my wife will personally pick up my uncle and young master and go back to her parents' house, and she won't come back until the farm is over." ”
"My niece and daughter-in-law have returned to their parents' house?" Uncle Wang asked,
"yes, isn't this a farm job? The wife planned to take the two in-laws and the house slave back to her parents' house to help. Xu replied with a smile.
Uncle Wang couldn't help frowning, and said in a bad tone: "She didn't say that she would go back to help her in-laws, but she was thinking about her mother's family, could it be that she forgot that she was the wife of the Song family?" ”
If he returned to Songjia Village, Uncle Wang could still go to Songjia Village to fight with Shen Lan, but now that Shen Lan had actually returned to his parents' house, he was naturally embarrassed to go to Shen Lan's mother's house to say anything.
Hearing this, Xu's face was accompanied by a smile, and he said: "Uncle I don't know, my wife has already separated from the old lady and the old lady, and besides, my wife has no land in her hands, and she has hired a long-term job for the old lady and the old lady, and there will be nothing missing when I want to come to Songjia Village." ”
Listening to Xu's words, the uncle of the Wang family choked, although Song Wenxiang went to the clan to revoke the succession, but did not say anything about the separation, in fact, Shen Lan is now separated from the Song family, and the things in her hands have nothing to do with the Song family at all, and her willingness to go out to support the Song family is completely out of filial piety.
"That's okay, when my niece and daughter-in-law come back from my parents' house, I also ask my mother to tell her and ask her to bring me a letter, just say that I have something to find her." Since the people are not at home, it is not good for him to squat at the door with a large family, so the uncle of the Wang family simply said.
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to my uncle, and my uncle will walk slowly." Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and finally sent the person away.
Everyone has sent off guests, and the uncle of the Wang family is naturally not good to continue to rub in, so he simply turned around and left with a large family, and the Xu family, who saw them leaving, saw them go away, so he spat outside, and whispered: "Phew, I really don't even want face, I was embarrassed to run away from my relatives and said that I wanted to be a slave, I'm afraid I want to go crazy for money." ”
After saying this, Xu turned around and entered the house, and first went to Shen Lan to explain the matter in general, Shen Lan also felt that things were very strange, and I didn't know what the uncle of the Wang family thought, and he actually wanted a large family to be a servant for her, was there any mistake.
Xu mentioned Shen Hailing, Shen Lan thought about it and felt that she was indeed going to take Shen Hailing back, so she instructed Shen Er to hurry up and go to the county to ask Shen Hailing when he would have a holiday, so that he could take him back when the time came.
In this way, the uncle of the Wang family was sent away, and Shen Changsheng also came to go out to harvest grain after saying goodbye to Shen Lan, seeing that the rice in the field turned yellow day by day, God also gave his strength, and did not blush at the upcoming harvest of these people and a heavy rain, but it was very dry, so it was suitable for harvesting rice when he came.
After asking Shen Hailing what day he was on vacation, Shen Lan instructed Shen Er to pick up Shen Hailing early that day, and then a large family took the servants, leaving only Shen Da at home to guard the door, and returned to Linchun Village.
The new house of the Shen family has been built, not as magnificent as the Shen Lan family, but a blue brick and tile house, and the two brothers of the Shen family, so Shen Xiaoquan has expanded the house a lot on the basis of the original house, and the room type has completely changed.
The original house did not have a yard, and there were no wings, but now the house is not like that at all, not only has a courtyard gate, but also divided into left and right wings, and then a son lives in a side of the wing, because of the idea of having more children and grandchildren in the future, there are three wings in the east and west, because of the foundation, the Shen family's house is roughly the same as Shen Lan's house, but the area is much smaller, and the yard is not a big yard, but a small patio.
The newly built house, the white walls and tiles have a bit of the artistic conception of ink painting, Shen Lan and his party can just move in after they come back, because the eldest son is not at home, and the younger son has not yet married a wife, so this house is naturally all arranged by the Shen couple.
Shen Lan brought more people, so Shen Lan took the stone to live in the main room of the east wing, and the rest of the house arranged for the Xu family and Shen Changhai brought by Shen Lan, and the west room was lived by the three sisters and brothers of the Shen family with maids and scholars, so it was just right.
The Shen family was about to start harvesting the next day, although Shen Lan now had a lot of money in his hands, but the Shen family and his wife didn't seem to be used to children, and they didn't want Shen Lan to hire any long-term workers at all, so they directly dragged all the people brought by Shen Lan to the field to help harvest, leaving only Shen Mei, Shen Lan and the Xu family at home.
Shen Mei didn't say anything about her in-laws, so naturally she couldn't go to work in the field, in case she got a tan, how could she say anything about people in the future, Shen Lan was pregnant, needless to say, Xu didn't go because she had to take care of Shen Lan and Xiaoshi, as for the three little girls and Shen Changhai, Shen Er and Shen Hailing's scholars, they didn't escape to work in the fields.
There are three adults and one child left at home, Shen Lan took the money early in the morning and asked the Xu family to buy fish and meat back, these are naturally used to prepare for the people who work in the fields, at this time, the body consumption is large, and Shen Lan is not a person who is reluctant to make money, so he will not be stingy at all.
Shen Lan, who was just sitting at home teasing the little stones, suddenly heard the movement of someone entering the yard, raised her head and looked, only to see a lot of people walking into her yard, and the leader smiled at her when she looked over.
"Yuan Hao, why are you here?" Shen Lan looked at the people outside the house with big eyes, all of them were dressed in short clothes, even Yuan Hao, who always wore chivalrous equipment on weekdays.
Yuan Hao didn't reply to Shen Lan's words, Twenty slowly walked towards her, walked up to Shen Lan and picked up the stone that was stuffed into the baby chair, supported his armpits with both hands, and asked with a smile: "Little stone, do you want to be a godfather?" ”
"Fly, fly high, godfather, fly high......" Shi suddenly laughed happily, because all the hands were taken to the ground by Shen Xiaoquan, and Xiangling, who specializes in holding stones on weekdays, was no exception, so he had to stuff him into the baby chair.
Although he is only a little more than a year old, in fact, the stone is still very lively and active, but Shen Lan is now pregnant, it is inconvenient to hold him, and he is afraid that he will bump into himself, so he went to buy vegetables in Xu's family, and when Shen Mei was busy working in the stove, he put him in the baby chair to prevent him from running around.
"Okay, let's fly." Saying that, Yuan Hao flew up holding the stone, Shen Lan on the side looked at it with a smile and shook her head, turned around and shouted to Shen Mei, who was busy working in the stove: "Mei Niang is going to order tea, and your eldest brother Yuan Hao has brought someone to the door as a guest." ”
Shen Mei, who was originally busy working in the stove, heard this, and immediately responded, at this time, Yuan Hao and Shi also played for a while, and only then did they have time to answer Shen Lan's previous question.
"Knowing that your family is busy with farming, I brought some people to help, and let Mei Niang take us to the field later." Yuan Hao did not let go of the stone, but said to Shen Lan while teasing the stone.
Hearing this, Shen Lan was a little surprised, how did he know that he went back to his parents' house to help harvest? At the same time, Shen Lan's mood was a little complicated, since the last Dragon Boat Festival, she and Yuan Hao had not met, and now he came over so suddenly to help with the harvest, what did it mean, obviously he left angrily last timeR1152
