316 Each has its own strengths and weaknesses
(Bow and thank you: the precious pink votes cast by the silent passers-by A, Hong-Luo Yan, and Su Yan V Ripples!) )
Zhanyan is also attentive, usually you can understand five or six points after speaking once, and you can understand eight or ninety percent after speaking twice. It is also decent to learn, and the Shen family has not less boasted of his intentions in front of the Yu family.
Shen was peeling sugar and stir-frying chestnuts for Yu's to eat, and Yu's face was peaceful, like all kind mothers-in-law, and he didn't take a piece and put it in his mouth.
He was always calm as usual, but in his heart he was quite disgusted by Shen's stammering and currying favor with Yu. The Shen family is not tied to Jiang Shuncheng and his wife, and Wen Zhonghou's sons and grandsons have all fallen into the big house. He thought to himself, if he was so stubborn, the designation would also fall into the third room.
Murong looked at Zhan Yan from top to bottom, and in the past few days, Zhan Yan has learned very well, and yesterday he helped take care of the embroidery room, and he learned most of the things about how to manage. Today, Zhang Shuang specially took her to the kitchen to learn, and said how to prepare meals for the whole family, how to match the dishes to be nutritious, easy to say, Zhanyan is now in contact with it, and I understand that this is all a science.
Mama Tian entered the flower hall with a smile, and bowed and said, "Madam, the county lord has returned home." ”
He covered his mouth and smiled: "I heard that the business of the auction house is surprisingly good? In less than a quarter of an hour today, fifty number plates were snatched up. I heard from the little guy in my house that someone got 3,500 taels of number plates, but no one changed hands. "Sanfang also has a share of the money in the business of the auction house, and everyone makes money, and I didn't expect such a good business earlier, He thought about it again, and he was very happy.
Zhang Shuangshuang "tsk" twice, "My God, this change of hands will cost you five hundred taels of silver?" ”
Murong also smiled. The foundation of the second room is thin, Su Yan let the second room do this business, and the two sons and Jiang Shukun are also busy going out early and returning late these days, especially Jiang Chuan, who seems to be in love with the business, and said that this business is like a war. That's right.
The Murong clan was afraid that their two sons would learn badly with the Imperial City, so it was better to let them learn serious things to do, and it was also a good thing to make money in business to support their families. Moreover, her mother's Murong clan was originally a businessman, with a dart shop, a cloth village and a tea business.
Yu said: "It's still Yan'er who doesn't hide her selfishness, and she hasn't forgotten your three rooms with this kind of good business." You sisters-in-law must also look like sisters-in-law. Don't chill her heart. Last night, Xiangye told me. Yan'er is the lucky star of my Jiang family, and she has made my Jiang family turn evil into good fortune again and again, isn't it. ”
A few grandmothers responded with a smile.
Who dares to say that Su Yan is not good, the Yu family must not turn his face.
Zhang Shuangshuang said: "Tomorrow the auction house will open, but I'm afraid that the business is very good, I really want to go and see what is going on." ”
Shen pointed at Zhang Shuangshuang with his finger. quipped: "She wants to see the excitement, I'm afraid that she is calculating in her heart how much bonus money their husband and wife can share." "The big house is only one out of five, and now it is all counted in the big house. But at that time, Jiang Shuhong didn't know what this business was, and one of the achievements was given to Jiang Chuansi and his wife, and Jiang Shuhong took another five points in his hand.
A few people burst into laughter.
When I heard that I could make money, my grandmothers were in a good mood and were all talking about the auction house.
Zhang Shuangshuang said coquettishly: "Mother-in-law doesn't want to think about it, I still have a few children to eat and drink, although the heir has a fortune, but it is not enough for our mother to buy meat to eat." ”
Murong said with a smile: "Isn't it your mother, you have to eat more than ten catties of meat a day?" In her opinion, the heir is not counted.
He Shi hurriedly said: "You listen to Shuangshuang, this Nizi." In the past, the five houses were gathered with us, which time was not called poverty, and as time went by, even the fifth uncle was the same, and the town said how poor his family was. As far as the five rooms and one room are concerned, we may not be able to catch up with the sum of several rooms. ”
Shen Shi hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Since the Yu family fought last winter, anyone who mentioned Jiang Shuqi was blocked in his heart. During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Shuqi didn't send a letter to his home to report his safety, nor did he send a New Year's gift, and he really didn't even do as well as Su Yan. Anyway, Suyan is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she can hang her parents, brother and sister-in-law at home, but Jiang Shuqi seems to have forgotten the whole family.
He Shi was young in the end, and he stabbed the leak again, and quickly reacted, and carefully peeped at Yu Shi with an embarrassed face, for fear that he would be reprimanded.
The fifth grandmother Wen Yashuang passed through the door in the past, and the 100 makeup gifts made the grandmothers in each room greedy, who made the family the most distressed eldest daughter of Wen Qigui, naturally picked up the best distribution, and there were many granges and shops.
Yu Shi suppressed his smile and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid I received the things sent to Yangzhou, right?" ”
Shen replied, "I originally said that I would send it after Daddy Weng's birthday." On the fifth day of the first lunar month, he saw that it was almost the same, so he asked Chuanye and Chuanliang to go to the dock, and took the cargo ship of a familiar merchant to Yangzhou, and also agreed with the merchant that they would be personally delivered to the fifth uncle. This time is fast, and I can expect to receive it in two days. ”
Zhang Shuangshuang did not forget to speak for her mother-in-law, she heard from the mouth of the heir, they are the eldest grandson of the eldest house, so they have to take care of the overall situation, each room has some small calculations, and the back house of each room is also peaceful. "In her busy schedule, my mother-in-law also made tiger head hats and tiger head shoes for the tenth young master, and they were red, purple, and blue. I heard that the fifth uncle had knee pain when he was young, so he made two pairs of knee pads with his own hands. In the name of the full moon of the tenth young master, new clothes and new pants were purchased for the family in the fifth room......"
This big family needs to be taken care of, but the Shen family still thinks about it carefully.
Yu looked at Shen appreciatively, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. "You've got a heart."
Shen smiled: "This is what a daughter-in-law should do." Food, use, and clothing are all well prepared, and my mother-in-law can rest assured. ”
When Yu thought of Jiang Shuqi, he couldn't help but feel cold, and sighed lightly: "Several children, all of them are filial and sensible, but this fifth child is separated from his family. How many times have I taken things to Yangzhou, but there has been no news in the past year. I just went to March and still have a letter from home, but for more than half a year, we haven't received a letter from home, even his brothers haven't received it, and it's getting worse and worse. ”
Su Yan entered the flower hall, saluted, and sat down beside Yu.
Shen was originally peeling chestnuts for Yu's family, but now it was replaced by Yu's peeling chestnuts for Su Yan to eat.
Su Yan ate two and shook her head.
Yu said: "It's good for the girl's family to eat more." I was taking care of your third sister-in-law, and I specially asked people to buy it in other places, but she was a light-mouthed person, and she refused to eat it after eating a few pieces, saying that it was bloated. ”
Chestnuts are good things, not only chestnuts, walnuts, and pine nuts, but the Shen family also bought a lot from foreign merchants on the orders of the Yu family.
He smiled and asked, "Did the county lord encounter something interesting when he went out today?" ”
Su Yan was puzzled, and only replied lightly: "I haven't met it." ”
He smiled brighter and brighter, and everyone laughed inexplicably.
Zhan Yan was young, and hurriedly asked, "Aunt San, come and listen." ”
He picked up the tea and took a sip, "How did I hear that the county lord was stopped by someone when he went out today?" This sedan chair is still a handsome young man......"
Zhang Shuangshuang's eyes wandered among the crowd and asked, "Really?" ”
Su Yan's face was expressionless, and she felt disgusted when she recalled the king of Guangping County, "Is the third sister-in-law talking about the king of Guangping County?" I didn't see what he looked like, but he was yelling there, and I had to get out of the sedan to see him. ”
Bai Fei couldn't hold it back on the side, for fear that someone would misunderstand Su Yan. said: "Mrs., this county king is really too much today, not to mention stopping the county lord's sedan chair, but also scolding the county lord, saying that the county lord is ugly, and the town is hiding in the house, it must be so ugly that he is shameless......"
Yu's face turned pale, revealing a little frost.
Shen said: "The dignified county king, when the dynasty humiliated Miss Houmen, what has become of this?" There really are no rules. ”
Don't think that she doesn't know what the He family has in mind, isn't it just that she has been getting close to Princess Jing recently, and she suddenly got close, but she was afraid that she had other intentions.
Shen and Zhang Shuangshuang winked.
Zhang Shuangshuang understood, and then said, "Grandmother, fortunately, you didn't agree to the family affairs of King Jing's Mansion last time. ”
Several people's eyes flashed, and even the He family was interested.
Zhang Shuangshuang continued: "The eldest young master said that the county lord's affairs are the top priority in the mansion, and people are asking around. I really found out a lot of things. This king of Guangping County is not a trouble-free master, his appearance is good, and the things that can be done, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are complete. Of the three concubines in his house, one of them was the top girl in the imperial city. In order to get the top brand of Oiran, the lord of Guangping spent a full 3,000 taels of gold. The old bustard of the Qinglou still refused to let go, he used the power of the Jingwang Mansion, so he forcibly ransomed himself and became his third concubine. ”
But all the rich and noble families who have some face are unwilling to accept the Qinglou woman as a concubine. Unexpectedly, the king of Guangping County actually got such a concubine, and the Yu family breathed a long sigh of relief, showing displeasure.
He said: "Where did these things come from, why haven't I heard about them?" "She is good friends with Princess Jing, and she has never heard of this, but the people in the big house have heard about it.
Zhang Shuangshuang said: "The third aunt doesn't know what to do, but we inquired." The king of Guangping County is by no means a good person, look at the surrounding palaces, how many will get the Qinglou women back to the house as concubines? He is the only one who acts so arbitrarily. Although for the sake of fame, she gave the Qinglou woman a good background, and recognized a compiler from the Ministry of Rites as her father, and there were many people who prejudiced her, who didn't know that she was from the Qinglou. was also favored by the king of Guangping County, so he snubbed two official ladies from serious backgrounds. ”
He privately responded to Princess Jing to help talk about the marriage between He Suyan and the King of Guangping County, and Princess Jing also said that if it became a benefit to her.
Last time, she wanted to tell her niece to the sixth master, but the sixth master had the emperor's marriage, although Liu Feifei was an orphan girl, but she was the county lord of the feudal title and had a fief, so she was more glamorous and noble than her niece. Recently, she also heard that the Murong family, Su Yan, the Shen family, and the county lord of Ningxi all gave Liu Feifei a generous dowry, but she was afraid that she would not be worse than a serious lady when the time came.
Yu asked, "Can you inquire about the prince of Ning Wangfu?" ”
