Yuejuan pondered for a while, already understood, patted Yanran's hand and said: "Sister Yanran, the eldest lady is not like this, and sudden changes are inevitable!" Yanran smiled faintly and didn't answer, Yuejuan was still waiting to say more, and saw her mother-in-law leading a daughter-in-law into the yard.

Yuejuan had already heard Yan Ran's sigh, and said with a pout: "This matter, although Xiao Huan has been defeated, but speaking of which, Cui Sleeve also has to convince people's hearts, and it is inevitable to use Xiao Huan as a raft." "Besides, some of Xiao Huan's behaviors are not wronged.

"What's so good about being an aunt? Even if it's like Aunt Wu's grandmother, her son has a fate, don't you ......" Yanran stopped and glanced at Zeng Zhixian's house, Aunt Wu didn't even dare to treat Zeng Zhixian affectionately, that's it, Aunt Wu is still the best among these aunts!

"There are always people who want to be rich and rich. Although Aunt Wu said that she was a little wronged, this was also a courtesy. Now that her whole family has been let out, I heard my sister-in-law say that she is also buying a house and land outside, wearing gold and silver, and being served in and out, compared to being a girl in this yard and going out to match people when she is old, it is naturally better than Aunt Wu's grandmother! Besides, how many can understand that that kind of loneliness is unbearable? ”

Yuejuan's words made Yanran tilt her head sideways and smile after thinking about it: "What I said is that I was stubborn, thinking that everyone was like me." Yuejuan snorted and laughed, seeing Xiao Huan's mother came out soon after entering the upper room, there was a look of frustration on her face, and she took Xiao Huan to the back, thinking that she was going to clean up her things, Yuejuan couldn't help but glance at Yanran: "There are not many people like you, the whole family counts, there are only two or three maids like you." ”

Yan Ran smiled again, didn't want to say this again, and asked Yuejuan: "Miss Fang Cai asked you, what are your plans?" Yuejuan is seventeen, and she can't marry Zeng Zhixian at this age, Yuejuan's eyebrows frowned slightly and said, "What else can I plan?" Served the eldest lady for two years, and before the eldest lady got married, she married me. was born as a daughter and became a maid, can I have other thoughts? ”

Yanran heard the gloom in Yuejuan's words, shook her hand and didn't say anything, she was born as a daughter, and she became a maid, and her life is even more like a mustard, is this life like this? Yan Ran felt that the thoughts in her heart began to grow like grass, no, you can't think like this, you can't, you can't.

Yan Ran said to herself silently in her heart, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she looked at the sky above her head, just such a small piece, when can she really walk out of the Zeng family and take a look at what it is like outside?

Because of the end of the year, Shihou soon went out of mourning, and on the day of the funeral, the Zeng family also set up a platform road to sacrifice. Marquis Zeng personally went to the road sacrifice not to mention, Mrs. Zeng also went to the funeral, and when she saw Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Zeng always wanted to comfort Mrs. Shi, and neither side mentioned the matter of the Shi family's heir, and Mrs. Shi did not let Mrs. Shi come to see Mrs. Zeng. After the funeral, Mrs. Zeng felt like a mirror in her heart, and in the future, she and Mrs. Shi could no longer be the same as before. After all, they all have children and grandchildren, and they can't be like boudoirs anymore.

When Mrs. Zeng came back from the Shi family, she didn't say anything, and the days seemed to go on like that, and the year was coming to an end. Although Zeng Zhixian's sisters and brothers were in the filial piety period, Mrs. Zeng still made new clothes for them, and they didn't go out to sit at the table, and they were good to wear in the house.

Zeng Zhixian was trying on new clothes there, and Zeng Zhiqing's voice sounded outside: "Is the eldest sister inside?" I want to talk to my big sister! "Since Xiao Huan's incident, Mrs. Zeng has been a little tighter with the maids, although Zeng Zhiqing and Zeng Zhixian are brother and sister, and they are getting older, they have to be separated from inside and outside.

At this time, hearing that Zeng Zhiqing was outside, Zeng Zhixian signaled to Yanran and asked her to go out and ask. Yanran lifted the curtain and walked out, and saw Zeng Zhiqing standing under the corridor, constantly wandering there, and seeing Yanran walking out, Zeng Zhiqing's eyes flashed with surprise: "Yanran, it's best for you to come, I'll tell you, Brother Shi's situation is very bad, you go and talk to the eldest sister about this!" ”

Brother Shi? Yan Ran hesitated for a moment before remembering which one this was, and couldn't help but shake her head: "This, if the old lady asks me to say this, I will say it, and I can't pass it on what you said, the son of the world!" Zeng Zhiqing slapped his hands in annoyance: "Yanran, why are you always like this?" The eldest sister and Brother Shi, who were also married since childhood, are now in a bad situation, shouldn't he tell the eldest sister? ”

Yan Ran still shook her head, Zeng Zhiqing couldn't help glaring at Yan Ran, and was about to lift the curtain to go in, but Yan Ran was already blocking the door: "Shizi, the old lady has instructed that in the future, you must be divided into inside and outside, you can't go in!" ”

Zeng Zhiqing wanted to push Yanran away, but he also knew that this would not work, he wanted to raise his voice, and he was afraid of alarming Mrs. Zeng, so he could only stare at Yanran: "I can tell you, Brother Shi is very strong, and he refuses to accept my money, I look at him, I'm afraid that he doesn't even have the silver for the New Year, so he came to find the eldest sister, if you don't tell her, what happened then, you can't afford it!" After speaking, Zeng Zhiqing stomped his feet and left.

Seeing that Zeng Zhiqing was gone, Yan Ran turned around and entered the house, Zeng Zhixian had already tried on the clothes and wore them daily, and when he saw Yan Ran coming in, he asked: "What stone characters did I hear, not his house?" Yan Ran responded yes, and then quietly said what Zeng Zhiqing said to Zeng Zhixian, Zeng Zhixian's brows couldn't help frowning, Yuejuan had already said: "I'm afraid that the son of the world will lie to you, the Shi family is also a big family, although the uncle has not been followed, but there are also parents in this life, don't you even have any money for the New Year?" ”

"The prince of the world will not lie to the eldest lady in such a matter, why don't you find someone to inquire?" Seeing that Zeng Zhixian just frowned and didn't speak, Yanran opened his mouth with a horizontal heart, this is Zeng Zhixian's idea, and when he saw Yanran say it, he nodded, Yuejuan felt strange first, and then understood that Yanran went to find someone to inquire.

Soon inquired back, it turned out that Shi An's experience had been spread everywhere. Shi An failed to succeed, and after Shi Qi became the heir, Shi An naturally wanted to return to his family. Who knew that his elder brother had long regarded him as a person who was not from the family, and seeing that his younger brother had not succeeded, he had not only failed to get his hands on it, but also took out a piece of family wealth, as if he had cut his flesh, although he let Shi An live in the house, but he was thinking about how to not hurt the dignity of his family and let his younger brother out?

I don't know who gave Shi An's brother an idea, saying that since his brother has married a wife and had children, and Shi An has also decided to marry, they should split up. Shi An's elder brother was overjoyed when he heard this, and as soon as Shi Hou's funeral was over, he invited the elders of the clan to preside over the division of the family, and hid all the fat industries in advance, only some bits and pieces of silver and some bad industries were taken out as their own industries. Shi An's stepmother also had to rely on Shi An's eldest brother to support her, so naturally she wouldn't help Shi An speak in this matter.

After calculating, only the house was still worth some money, Shi An's brother put the house under his name in the name of being the eldest brother and wanted to support his stepmother, and the rest of the things were added to five, and there were less than a hundred taels of silver and some small things left in Shi An's name. Shi An's brother also said that he couldn't bear his younger brother like this, so he made up a hundred taels of silver for Shi An and invited him out.

Shi An took the hundred taels of silver and laughed, so he had to find a place to live first. He is also a rich son, how do you know the pain of earning silver, the house he was looking for at the beginning is not small, and there are many people serving around him, this hundred taels of silver will not be spent in a month, and the big house will naturally not be able to live, so he can only move to the kind of house that is rented by a person to live.

That's it, his brother also released words everywhere, saying that Shi An doesn't know physiology, he will lose the family, and the two brothers broke up at the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid that the small industry left by his father will soon be lost by him!

Since his brother said so, someone contacted the Shi family about choosing an heir, and said that he was afraid that it was because of this that the Shi family did not choose him as an heir. As soon as it was passed on to a hundred, Shi Qi was too happy not to come forward to explain to Shi An, and now Shi An has become a ruined son who will not live in the population of the capital!

"He's not like that!" Zeng Zhixian almost shouted when she heard what Yan Ran said, she was rarely so excited, Yan Ran glanced at her before saying, "What the eldest lady said is true, but what is the use of these things just that we know?" ”

yes, what's the use? And now that Shi An has no silver by his side, how can he study and take scientific examinations with peace of mind? Zeng Zhixian stood up and walked around there, never forgetting the young man saying by the lotus pond, I will not quit my family. is this sentence that brought Zeng Zhixian back to life.

Now that he is in trouble, how can he sit idly by? Zeng Zhixian's hand was stirring the handkerchief there, and Yuejuan and Yanran glanced at each other, and it was difficult to speak. There was footsteps outside, hearing the footsteps Zeng Zhixian hurriedly sat back in place, and it was the red shirt that walked in, she said respectfully to Zeng Zhixian: "Mrs. Uncle is here, saying that she wants to see the eldest lady!" ”

"Uncle? Which uncle's wife? Zeng Zhixian asked strangely, if it was the Zhao family or Mrs. Zeng's mother's family, they would not name him to see him.

A smile appeared on the red shirt's face: "It's Uncle Qin's wife, it's your aunt and eldest lady!" "Auntie? Zeng Zhixian didn't expect to hear that this relative came to visit, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes. The red shirt nodded: "The old lady felt strange when she saw the post, and as soon as the people invited in, the old lady recognized the person." My uncle's wife said that she had been an official outside for many years, and she was going to Beijing to elect an official this year, thinking that it would be a good choice at the beginning of the year, so she simply spent the New Year in Beijing, and as soon as she settled down, she came to visit the old lady and wanted to meet the eldest lady! ”
