"The biggest lesson that Treasure Garden has taught us is that we are not greedy enough and can't eat alone." Dong Xiaoman looked at the full cargo on the ship next to Erlang, and although he was happy, he began to worry.

"I think about it, isn't there a vacant space on the other side of Xiaohu? Anyway, others don't know what the road is, so they put it here and stock it up first. I'm dredging up the relationship well, and we have to find a strong person to ensure that a foreigner comes to camp and set up camp. "That's natural, but there is no one in the government who is not familiar with the rich man and the ruffian.

Fortunately, Songjiang Mansion is not far from Qingzhou, and Saburo's relationship can still be used. Xiaohu is not a child, but he is also full of friends, and it is much easier than before.

Dong Xiaoman didn't do it in vain when he was cooking in a private house in Qingzhou, and he also made friends with several ladies through Zhu'er's shop, and the Mei family was one of Dong Xiaoman's intentions to win over and befriend everyone.

After inquiring about why Mrs. Mei likes Dong Xiaoman's mother and daughter so much, Zhu'er, a person who doesn't like to use her brains very much, tries to please others.

"Master Mei will not take care of our business, only from the Mei family's uncle. As long as the Mei family cooperates with us, at least it will not be a problem to gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou City. Dong Xiaoman lowered his head and fiddled with the coral bracelet that Erlang gave her, this was the first time Erlang came back from outside to bring her a gift.

In the past, I used to buy some things, but they were all things that everyone had. When he came back this time, Erlang personally took a bracelet and put it on his wrist. Dong Xiaoman tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't expect Erlang to go out and have a lot of feelings.

Dong Xiaoman chose a good weather and took Zhu'er to Meifu in plain clothes. As soon as he entered the Mei family, Dong Xiaoman found that the Mei family did not have everyone's style at all.

She thought that the Mei family was either resplendent or scholarly, but she didn't expect this back house to be like this.

It was supposed to be a plum blossom apricot blossom peach blossom peach tree, but it was changed to a cowpea rack; It should be bright and full of flowers, but eggplants and radishes are crawling all over the ground; It was supposed to be a pond where koi fish swam to swim, but Dong Xiaoman actually saw someone catch a basket of fish.

"Mother, why is their family so strange. It's like the countryside, if there are chickens and ducks pooping all over the ground, it will really be a big thing in Qingzhou. Zhu'er lay in Dong Xiaoman's ear. I don't dare to laugh if I want to.

"You know what? This is called everyone who has experienced wind and rain. No amount of money, status, or reputation is as good as living a real life. Especially if you look at how many people come and go in this house. How many families does the Mei family support, and how much does it usually cost. If you don't have those empty ones, you can save money. Dong Xiaoman remembered that he had seen a calligrapher in later generations, and his house was full of vegetables. It's not that people don't know how to appreciate chrysanthemums and bamboos, but they think that ordinary life is the most real.

The people in the back don't seem to be surprised, I think everyone who came to the Mei family for the first time will be like this. didn't wait for Dong Xiaoman and the two to enter the house. Someone had already spread this word to the ears of Mrs. Mei.

"In the end, people who have suffered are much better than those little girls who have not suffered." Nodding, Mrs. Mei was very satisfied.

Dong Xiaoman had seen several hostesses of the Mei family and sent the gifts they had brought over. Zhu'er smiled and said to Mrs. Mei, "Old lady, my father is back." It's something my dad brought back from Siam and Persia, and it's not worth much, but it's different. ”

Mrs. Mei has lived a long time, and of course she knows what is valuable. What is worthless. Just smiling and silent, the fourth lady of the Mei family exclaimed: "Oh, this is an ivory jewelry box." Oops, it's beautiful. ”

Zhu'er said with a smile: "Didn't the fourth lady buy a set of peony flowers to pack up, this happens to be an ivory carved peony medicine jewelry box." It goes well with your jewelry, and as soon as I saw it, I thought that the fourth lady would like it. ”

The fourth lady nodded: "The best, the best." Miss Zhu'er is still careful, and I am worried that I don't have a suitable jewelry box for my set of peonies. ”

The third lady sneered: "The fourth master spoils you the most." Can you shorten your jewelry box? Stuff can be eaten indiscriminately. You can't talk nonsense. to make outsiders think that our Mei family has lost you, the fourth lady. ”

The fourth lady was not happy, and just as she was about to reply, she heard the eldest lady say, "The side is fine." This sandalwood pillow has a heart. My mother is old, and she will sleep comfortably with this pillow. ”

Mrs. Mei smiled: "How else to say that these two children have a heart, everything is a rare thing." "It's no wonder, people don't have those impetuous hearts when they get old.

"Master Zhang is back?" This is so interesting to Mrs. Mei, it seems that this Mrs. Zhang has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"yes, it's safe to come back." Dong Xiaoman pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't say her request right away.

After chatting together for a while, Dong Xiaoman got up and said goodbye: "There are still two children at home, so I finally stole a lazy today." It's getting late, and if I'm free, I'll come back and disturb you. ”

Mrs. Mei waved her hand: "Your family is busy, I know it." I'll go over to play with you in two days, hey, these people in our family are all stuffy gourds, and they are not as interesting as your little girl. ”

is talking about Huanhuan, Huanhuan is eccentric and very well-behaved. is always arguing with Mrs. Mei, and the two of them are like children's playhouse. If you don't quarrel for a few days, Huanhuan will still feel lonely. Mrs. Mei also misses this jumping girl who is angry with herself.

There's no way, my grandchildren are very well-behaved in front of me. It's hard to have a child who still wants to lose his temper, and he has to be polite. The little red face is very interesting.

sent Dong Xiaoman's mother and daughter away, and the fourth lady took her things and wanted to go back to the room. Before leaving, I heard the third sister-in-law say to her mother-in-law: "Mother, what's the matter with them, right?" Why didn't you say anything and leave first? ”

The most annoying thing for the fourth lady is that the third sister-in-law looks like everyone who comes to the Mei family wants to cling to the Mei family, as if everyone has to buy the account of the third lady of the Mei family.

sneered: "If something has been said a long time ago, why come and go?" People are polite, and it's just ordinary people's interactions. ”

|“ Contact? Say it lightly. If you are not the fourth lady of the Mei family, but an ordinary customer, you will come to your door to give you something in person? "If you really come from a small family, you are short-sighted.

"Okay, what's there to make a fuss." The eldest lady reprimanded twice, and then stopped the two of them.

"Is there anything to do, why are you in a hurry? Can't you do it, so you want to go back? Are there few people who come to our Mei family to ask for help? Remember, the future of the second child is tied to the lives of more than 100 people in our Mei family. Mrs. Mei looked at the cane, so frightened that the two daughters-in-law no longer dared to stare at her.

Back in the room, the eldest lady of the Mei family personally took off the old lady's shoes. helped her to get on the kang, and the maid came over to knock the old lady's legs.

"Mother, what do you think?"

Old Madam Mei squinted her eyes: "Originally, it wasn't that people came to us first, but it was just a coincidence." If there is any difficulty in this family, it is also good to help. If the boss thinks it's good, there's nothing wrong with having more input in our family. ”

"I looked at the color, and the gems, the ivory, and the spices were excellent. Mo said that in Qingzhou City, even in the capital, it is one of the best. "In her early years, the eldest lady followed her mother-in-law and husband to start a business and work hard, and she was the most eye-catching person.

"It's not unusual to be able to endure hardships and go to sea, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to leave behind the foundation of their family and start anew. These two people are not ordinary people, you go to check, if you are innocent, I will mention it to the boss. Mrs. Mei gave Zhun Xin'er, and the eldest lady agreed.

lit the soothing incense, slowly exited the upper room, closed the door and walked out. As he walked into his yard, he touched the plum blossom tourmaline bracelet on his right wrist. This bracelet is very rare, and tourmaline is a fine gemstone. Plum blossom tourmaline is the best thing for Wangfu to help his son, and the eldest lady thought about the scene when she saw Dong Xiaoman that day, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"You say, 'Can we do this?' I didn't say a word at all~! Zhu'er was a little anxious, and she couldn't help but ask while sitting in the carriage.

"What's the matter. Have you noticed anything different about the Mei family, such as the relationship between the Mei family? Dong Xiaoman turned sideways and asked softly. I found out, the third lady and the fourth lady are not on good terms. "What's so strange about this, I found out a long time ago.

|“ Who is the owner of this Mei family? Dong Xiaoman squinted his eyes and spit out a sentence.

"Then you still need to ask, the old lady of the Mei family." Pearl is curious, isn't it?

"It's the Great Lady!" Dong Xiaoman said that Zhu'er was a little unconvinced.

"How is that possible? The eldest lady doesn't care about anything, like a bodhisattva. When Dong Xiaoman heard Zhu'er's words, he sneered: "You didn't find out, as long as she spoke." ”

Hearing this, Zhu'er looked at Dong Xiaoman seriously: "No matter what it is, the third lady and the fourth lady are very convinced. Moreover, the old lady of the Mei family also trusts this eldest daughter-in-law very much. ”

"This is normal, according to legend, the old lady of the Mei family lost her father at an early age. The Mei family was able to have today, relying on the efforts of Mrs. Mei and her son and daughter-in-law back then, and the Mei family's second, third, and fourth masters were all confessed. Zhu'er understood very thoroughly, and Dong Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction.

"So the uncle respects this lady very much, and all the people of the Mei family treat her almost to the point of obedience. Therefore, if you want to get through the relationship between the Mei family......" Dong Xiaoman snickered, like a cat stealing fish.

"You mean, just find a way to make the eldest lady like it and agree to cooperate with us." Zhu'er's eyes lit up, like stars in the sky.

"But how can we make the eldest lady willing to cooperate with us? She's not short of money! Pearl's lips pursed again, depressed.

"Every mother wants her children to have a better life, and every woman wants her husband to be better." The same is true for the eldest lady, and the Mei family relies on the hard support of their husband and wife to get to where they are today.

However, the second, third, and fourth rooms all have official positions, which can protect future generations. Only in their house, the lowest class of farmers and businessmen are merchants.

The eldest lady, what I am most worried about is not who the family property falls into, but the future of my son! (To be continued.) )
