Yutan opened the details of a spice shop, only to hear the crackling abacus, a pair of snow-white jade hands with ten fingers flying, painted impatiens nails like dancing a beautiful dance, Fang Ziyi couldn't help but look dumbfounded, the eldest uncle looked over here, the spirit was shocked, this nephew and daughter-in-law really have two hits.

It was only a moment of effort, and I heard Yutan smile and say, "Uncle is well-managed, such a big spice shop can have more than 2,000 taels of silver a year, it is not easy, although I am my daughter's family, I have also heard of the business of other spice shops, the business of this spice is extremely profitable, and the risk is also extremely high, not the old shopkeeper who has accumulated years can't take this line, uncle, you have worked hard for Ziyi's business." ”

The eldest uncle had a trace of inexplicable feelings, and sighed, "It's good that my nephew and daughter-in-law can understand the thoughts of the old man, and the old man has finally heard a fair word in the past twenty years." ”

He asked with some curiosity, "My nephew and daughter-in-law are young, where did they know about these business experiences?" ”

Yutan smiled, "Where do I know anything, it was my brother who learned it from the guys outside, and I just know a little bit of it." ”

Fang Ziyi looked at Yutan with good eyes, a pair of phoenix eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be closed.

Yutan looked at the general ledger again, stood up and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, it takes a month or two to match the accounts of these shops, and it is not something that can be done by one person, the daughter-in-law looked at the general ledger, and the income over the years is roughly the same. ”

Ying Guogong also smiled, "Uncle brother has worked hard all these years, and I hope that my uncle will help them in the future." ”

Zhang Shilian snorted and didn't care, just looked at Yutan, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, Mama Zhu was sent by me to take care of Ziyi, she has been in your house for twenty years, and the deed of sale of their whole family is in my hand, I will go back and send this family to you, my sister-in-law's softness is under her control, nephew and daughter-in-law, you should check according to the dowry list, if there is anything wrong, just send someone to find me." ”

Zhang Shilian hugged his fist at Ying Guogong again, "Grandpa Guo, my nephew and daughter-in-law said it well, you have done a good family affair for Ziyi, today the old man is offended, and he said some excessive words, and the grandfather of the country does not care about the old decay a lot, so don't pass it away." ”

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave, Zhang Shiqian was also busy standing up, and Ying Guogong couldn't keep it, so he had to take Fang Ziyi out of the gate.

There were only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the house, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zheng took Yutan's hand and said slowly, "It is said that you should delay a few days and let you know this, you are also familiar with our family, but your father-in-law is going to the border pass again, this time to take over General Lu's errand, the border Tuntian is light yì can't come back, your father-in-law just invited your uncle of the Zhang family to come over, the past grievances should also be settled, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart." ”

Yutan blinked and smiled, "My daughter-in-law is young, and there are some things that shouldn't have been asked by me, but my uncle also mentioned it today, and Yutan didn't dare to pretend that she didn't know, Ziyi's mother died unexpectedly?" ”

There seemed to be a layer of mist in Zheng's eyes, and he couldn't see the feelings clearly, "Your uncle of the Zhang family is right, your father-in-law and I are in love, I was willing to be a concubine for him back then, Ziyi's mother was also assassinated, and it was too late for the maid to find out, and it was said that the whole body was bruised, and it was poisoned." ”

Yutan's mouth was dry, his heart was beating wildly, his palms were full of cold sweat, and he heard Zheng say, "Your father-in-law rushed back to handle the funeral, and he also found some of Zhang's tricks in his hand, Uncle Zhang's uncle didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but he still refused to relax, and the Zhang family later fought for Ziyi, you heard these words, who assassinated the sister of the Zhang family, and your father-in-law was also confused in his heart." ”

Zheng said a few words about the past, ignoring the shock and nervousness in the young grandmother's eyes, leaning on the cushion and laughing, "You are very well dressed today, this red body matches your skin color, you can't wear your style like you anymore, and your eyes will melt on you." As he spoke, he shook his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.

Yutan was also busy adjusting his feelings, and hurriedly smiled, "Mother-in-law makes fun of me, my daughter-in-law is still young, and I have to ask my mother-in-law to teach me." ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed a few words, and Zheng smiled and took out a brocade box, "I don't have any good jewelry for you, a few pieces of silver jewelry here are still made by me at the border that year, the style is different from that of the capital, give it to you as a new thing." ”

Yutan took it and looked at it and said with a smile, "It's really fresh and interesting, my mother-in-law has also been to the border before?" ”

"I went there twenty years ago, to find your father-in-law."

Zheng Shi with a misty smile, even the voice became soothing, "I knew Fang Kui when I was very young, and I was tied to him, my family forced me to marry at that time, I was reluctant, I left a letter and secretly ran out of the house, with a little scattered silver, I dared to run Jiayuguan alone, I lived there with your father-in-law for more than two years, and I thought that I would be a concubine in the future, who knew that Ziyi's mother was suddenly gone." ”

"You mean ......"

Yutan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed the words that didn't come out of his mouth, but Zheng Shi smiled, "Did I scare you?" I shouldn't have told you this, and I should have kept the elopement from you, but Ziyi's mother died a really strange death, and I couldn't hide it, even your father-in-law suspected me back then. ”

"When I was young, I liked it regardless of qiē, and now I have no regrets, your father-in-law is also willing to be good to me, and he said that the runner is a concubine, he is willing to let me be his wife, this time he asked me to accompany him to the border Tuntian, this time it will take more than ten years, young lady, my two sons have to be entrusted to you."

Yutan hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law is young and doesn't know how important it is, and I don't dare to bear this family." ”

"Who is carrying it, if you don't carry it?" Zheng said with a smile, "Ziyi will only read books, play chess and draw, otherwise he will fiddle with his broken herb roots, where can he afford this family, Ziqi is promising, but he was delayed by my mother, people live for a lifetime, there are gains and losses, I didn't do it at the beginning, I eloped for thousands of miles, even if I covered it well, I left the words." ”

Yutan didn't know what she should say, she had been strict since she was a child, and her grandmother paid the most attention to these rules and decency, and now her mother-in-law said the words of elopement back then, and she didn't see any shame on her face, and she looked quite proud.

Yutan suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Do you like your father-in-law?" ”

Zheng's face was red, with the shyness of a girl, but she smiled and said happily, "Yes, I like him, I liked him at first sight, and I waited for him to come to my house to propose, and then the palace gave him a marriage, and he could only agree, at that time I also secretly cried, and I also thought that no matter who married, who would not live with for a lifetime." ”

glanced at Yutan and suddenly smiled and quipped, "Our eldest son likes you, there is only one you in my heart in the past few years, and I have shown him so many young ladies from other families, but he only said that he was unwilling." ”

Yutan couldn't help laughing and said, "The eldest prince hasn't seen me again, what does he like about me, my mother-in-law is telling jokes." ”

"The eldest prince suffered a loss in his speech, where did he dare to come out to see you, he secretly hid and peeked elsewhere, or Ziying was naughty, and saw the painting painted by his eldest brother, our family knew what was on his mind, your father-in-law sent someone to inquire, and he was very satisfied at that time, but at that time, the king of Yanci County proposed to marry, and saw that your family dragged on and did not agree, so your father-in-law wrote the letter asking for relatives."

It turns out that there are still these details in the middle, Yutan smiled slightly, "It is also my blessing to be able to marry the eldest prince." ”

It was time for lunch when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and Zheng clapped his hands and smiled, "You see that I am confused, and I forgot that you didn't have breakfast, so let's eat here with me, let's talk more lively." ”

Zheng stood up and said with a smile, "The people are outside, and you can't hear the shouting here." ”

Yutan hurriedly said, "I'll pass a message to my mother-in-law." ”

"Let's go out together, it's going to take a long time to set up a meal, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the house, Ziyi is afraid that he will talk to your father-in-law in the study, he is now carrying a burden on his shoulders, Ziyi has always been used to being leisurely, and he feels very uncomfortable, but there is no way, this family will all point to him in the future."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of the courtyard, passed through the Ming Hall, and saw a woman in her thirties standing on the verandah waiting, and saw Zheng and the young grandmother coming out, and bowed her head slightly respectfully, Zheng looked at Yutan and smiled, "Sister-in-law Fang is the housekeeper of the inner house, she and Fang Fu are in charge of the big and small things in the house, if you don't understand anything, just ask her." ”

Sister-in-law Fang hurriedly stepped forward to greet the young lady, "Madame has already ordered, and the slave maid will listen to the young lady's call in the past few days." ”

Yutan smiled and said a few words, and Zheng asked, "What about your eldest son?" Where is Grandpa Guo? We won't wait for the two of them, let's start the meal first, the young lady is also eating at my place, and there are still many things to do. ”

Zheng and Yutan talked about housework for a long time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had dinner, Fang's sister-in-law had already summoned a small sedan chair, and the four maids in Yutan and other places also hurriedly came out when they heard the news, followed behind the sedan chair, and the two rough mothers-in-law carried the sedan chair out of the hanging flower door and walked forward along the stone road.

Sister-in-law Fang smiled, "Young lady, how about we go from the Hidden Autumn Garden?" It has been renovated there, and Grandpa Guo means to let the prince move over there to live, and the place is bigger. ”

Yutan laughed when he heard this, "Your family is reluctant, isn't it?" ”

Sister-in-law Fang hurriedly smiled and said, "That's it, our prince is used to living in seclusion, and he has to be persuaded by the young lady." ”

Yinqiu Garden is not far from the main house, walk through the moon cave door, bypass the shadow wall, you can see the high eaves of Yinqiu Garden, Yutan degree its direction, Yinqiu Garden is in the east of the mansion, the small sedan chair passes through two small alleys, both sides of the alley should be the resting place of the people in the house, out of the alley, the eyes suddenly open up, a large open space, not far away there are a few green bamboos covering a belt of fine houses, the plaque on the three gilded big characters "Hidden Autumn Garden".

Sister-in-law Fang smiled, "Young lady go in and have a look?" ”

Yutan smiled slightly, "I think the scenery here is elegant, I don't have to go in today, I have to finish the errands in my hand." ”

"There can be several rooms of things, where is it sorted out for a while, it is Mama Zhu who leads a few people to take care of these."

Sister-in-law Fang pointed out the scenery in the garden along the road, the Yixiang Garden where the second son lived, the Qimengxuan of the third son, and then went further to the fourth son's Yin Huaxue, and said a few words about the people around the prince, and unconsciously the hidden heart house was close in front of her, and a few little maids at the door hurriedly greeted her, "The young lady is back, Aunt Fang is good." ”R1152
