"Xianggong, you wash your hands first, I have asked Xiaoyu to ask the stove to boil water, and you will bathe after the water boils. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xie Yun'er pulled her skirt and walked out with a basin of water, wiped the sweat from Shen Xi's forehead with a washcloth, and asked casually, "I don't know about this corn...... And sweet potatoes, when will they ripen? ”

"It's hard to say, but it depends on the planting. If all goes well, the first crop can be harvested at the end of October, but if it is not harvested by the end of winter, it may be more troublesome...... Hopefully the first snow in Guangzhou will come a little later this year! ”

After Shen Xi finished speaking, while washing his hands, he turned his head sideways and greeted Xie Hengnu and the other women who were gathering together in the distance to discuss the fruits of today's labor: "Come and wash your hands, and then go into the room to take a shower and change clothes." ”

"Oh, got it."

Xie Hengnu was very happy, and ran over with a little blushing, wanting to share a basin of water with Shen Xi. Xie Yun'er smiled and pulled away her hand: "There is no rule, go and fetch water by yourself." ”

Xie Hengnu pouted "oh", but he still obediently went to the ancient well, Zhu Shan was standing on the edge of the well and carrying a bucket up, and after lifting it, he poured the water into several wooden basins lined up, each of whom had a basin.

Xie Hengnu returned to Shen Xi with a basin of water, and was about to bend down to clean his little black hands, at this time Lu Xi'er and Yin Wen had already walked over with a basin of water, and the three little girls got together and chattered again, but Lin Dai who stayed by the well was alone, looking a little lonely.

Over there, Xiaoyu went to the stove room, Xie Yun'er looked at her back and reminded Shen Xi: "Xianggong, now that we have settled down in Guangzhou Mansion, should we discuss Xiaoyu's marriage?" ”

Shen Xi went south this time, Ma Jiu made a lot of efforts behind the scenes, and after getting along for a long time, Ma Jiu and Xiaoyu had a certain relationship. Although the wedding is just a formality, it still has to be done, and Shen Xi believes that with Ma Jiu's personality, he should be able to take on the responsibility of taking care of Xiaoyu.

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "I have been busy before, but now I finally have free time, and I just happened to handle the marriage of Xiaoyu and Ma Jiu." When I go back, I will let Daddy Zhu be specifically responsible, don't be too public, just finish the ceremony. ”

Xiaoyu is just a maid, the boss is not small, Ma Jiu is the same age as her, and he also belongs to the older youth in this era.

The two of them have the same disease, and they don't need to carry a sedan chair at all, blow and blow, and there is no need to publicize it, just go to the government to report for a registration, put a wine in the backyard of the post house, and invite Zhu Qi, Tang Yin and others to come over to eat, drink and have a lively time, and the marriage will be completed.

Shen Xi told Zhu Qi about the matter, Zhu Qi's old face was full of smiles, he had been with Ma Jiu for a long time, and the relationship between the old and the young was good.

Zhu Qi was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Master, dog...... Stay in Tingzhou Mansion to make a small living, I don't know if I can ...... him Recruited? The dog will definitely do his best to help the master. ”

Zhu Shan, as the envoy girl, first followed Shen Xi to the capital, and when there was a problem with the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Qi also followed Hui Niang to the north and worked under Shen Xi.

Now Shen Xi is going south as a three-grade official, Zhu Qi and his daughter follow Shen Xi, doing their duty, although he and his daughter can meet every day, but Zhu Qi is most concerned about his son who stayed in Tingzhou Mansion, that is, Zhu Hong, the "young master" that Shen Xi had seen in the cottage.

Let's say that this Zhu Hongren is a bit muddy, and Zhu Qi knows that his son has offended Shen Xi, so he has never dared to mention it in front of Shen Xi, but Zhu Qi saw that Ma Jiu was getting better and better with Shen Xi, and he couldn't help but worry about his son who was now doing hard work in Tingzhou.

Unlike Ma Jiu, who has never been married, Zhu Hong married his childhood sweetheart who moved from the cottage to settle in Tingzhou more than a year ago, and now he even has a son.

Zhu Qi felt that his son should become much more stable after starting a family, and he might be able to make a career, so he pleaded with Shen Xi and wanted to call his son from Tingzhou Mansion to follow Shen Xi to do things.

Shen Xiben had some prejudices against Zhu Hong, but seeing that Zhu Qi and Zhu Shan had been working diligently in the Shen family for the past few years, they had to give others a head start, so he nodded and said: "Although Zhu Dang's family is arranged, it is ...... Earlier, I wrote to Ling Lang to come to Guangzhou Mansion to help me. ”

"Yes, thank you, sir. The dog will definitely do his best. Zhu Qi's old face was relieved, he could finally let his son have a way out, and he was destined to have a bright future with Shen Xi.

No matter how close the daughter is, she will always marry off, and only the son is the one who inherits the mantle, which makes the difference between children and daughters.

Zhu Qi wanted his son to come to Shen Xi to do things, and the Shen family actually had plans for Shen Xi to arrange a way out for his cousins.

In the past, Shen Xi was a Hanlin official in the capital, and it was impossible to raise idlers around him...... You can't always bring a few followers to the prince's lesson, right? But now that Shen Xi is already the governor of the three provinces, the Shen family naturally can't sit still, and several people in the house jointly wrote a letter to Shen Xi, asking him to take a few brothers with him for the sake of the same family.

There are no requirements on the long side.

Shen Mingwen and Shen Yongzhuo were preparing for the imperial examination, Shen Yongzhuo had failed to show his talents several times, and he was studying hard at this time, striving to become the fourth talent in the Shen family as soon as possible. As for Shen Mingwen, after the old lady fell ill, there was no one to supervise her, and now she doesn't pay attention to reading, she just eats idle meals at home, and even goes out to find friends to eat flowers and wine to do a literary party.

On the second room, after Shen Mingyou and Qian's "disappeared" and the old lady was sick and confused, no one was in charge of the second room, but fortunately, the older Erlang and San Lang in the second room got married one after another, and even the third daughter Shen Tingting was also married to a wife, and now there is only one Wulang Shen Yongqi left in the second room, but because no one helped Zhang Luo, Shen Yongqi is still a single at the age of eighteen.

Fortunately, Shen Yongqi is honest, although he has never studied, he has been helping his family manipulate the land before...... Although the paddy fields that Li bought on the outskirts of the city were basically rented out and could collect a rent every year, he still kept some land, and Shen Yongqi and a few brothers planted some small vegetables to sell, which was still a good job.

On the third side, Shilang Shen Qian is already twenty years old, and the family has married Zhang Luo, but now because Shen Xi has not brought much income to the Shen family, with the collapse of Hui Niang's business and no income, the Shen family only lives on tenant rent, and is stretched thin in terms of expenses.

As for Shen Yuan, who is in the fourth room, he is only one year older than Shen Xi, although he did not rank in the township test in the first year, but he has accumulated experience, and now he is studying at home behind closed doors, preparing to go to Fuzhou Township again in the next year, and achieve the second place in the Shen family, so he is not in a hurry to get married, and Shen Mingxin and his wife have never planned to let their son come out to do things with Shen Xi early.

Because Hachiro and Jiuro are still young, although they have also entered the private school in the city to enlighten themselves, they are obviously still early in the year when they came out to do things, so in fact, only Shiro Shen Qian and Goro Shen Yongqi can follow Shen Xi to do things.

However, at this time, the Shen family was splitting up, Shen Mingjun and his wife went back to discuss the separation, and the Zhou family asked people to write to Shen Xi and say that they would try to help if they could, but the words were extremely perfunctory, and Shen Xi knew at a glance that the old lady was saying this in order to gain greater initiative in the matter of splitting the family.

In the evening, Shen Xi called Ma Jiu and Xiaoyu to the back hall, told them his intention to marry them, and asked for their opinions.

Xiao Yu lowered her head, left a sentence of "It's all up to the lord and the lady" and stumbled and ran away, while Ma Jiu smiled stupidly, obviously didn't expect good things to come so soon.

Shen Xi said: "Brother Jiu, you have been in the Carriage and Horse Gang for many years, and I still remember the scene you encountered in the city when you accompanied me to Fuzhou to take the exam four years ago...... When a man is doing things outside, he must have someone to take care of him behind him, and at the same time, you have to carry on the family for your Ma family. This marriage is thus decided, what do you think? ”

"Yes, sir."

Ma Jiu was grateful, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi had paid attention to Ma Jiu before, although this man was ruthless in doing things, but he had always been very loyal, and he was also single-minded in his treatment of women, after he mentioned his marriage with Xiaoyu to Ma Jiu before, he never lingered in Huajie Liuxiang, every time he saw Xiaoyu, his face was red, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, just waiting for Xiaoyu to pass the door.

As far as Ma Jiu is concerned, he never imagined that one day he would be able to marry a virtuous housekeeper like Xiaoyu, who is knowledgeable and proficient in accounting and financial management.

"That's good, I've asked Zhu Dangjia to help you prepare, estimate a few days, and choose an auspicious day to let you get married. But in the future, Xiaoyu will still stay in the Shen family to do things, and like you, she will not be disadvantaged in terms of wages. Don't complain about me being unkind in this matter. Shen Xi said with a smile.

Originally, Xiaoyu should move out to live after getting married and let Ma Jiu support her, but the Shen family is not looking for a new maid now, originally Xie Hengnu could bring a dowry girl into the door, but Xie Qian was careful, thinking that his granddaughter would marry into the Shen family as a concubine, if she brought a dowry maid again, maybe the status of the maid would be higher than that of the young lady in the future, so she resolutely disagreed to send the dowry girl.

As for Yin Wen and Lu Xi'er, although they can do a little bit of maid work, their status in the Shen family is not low, one is the former eldest lady of the Lu family, and the other is Shen Xi's favorite baby, Xie Yun'er naturally will not arrange them to do things.

Hong'er and Lu'er were left in the capital to look after their families, and at the moment the girls who can be called in Shenxi's inner house are actually only Xiaoyu, Xiu'er and Zhu Shan, Xiu'er and Zhu Shan are the kind of girls who have no brains and eyesight, and have no strength, so Xiaoyu has become an indispensable member of the Shen family, even after getting married, she needs to continue to stay in the Shen family to help.

Ma Jiu knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Shen Xi: "The master is willing to take in the villain, arrange the marriage for the villain, and let the villain and the lady have a stable livelihood in the future. ”

Shen Xi felt that leaving Xiaoyu behind might make Ma Jiu embarrassed, but in Ma Jiu's opinion, this was actually a favor from the Shen family.

Xiaoyu originally belonged to the Shen and Lu families, after Hui Niang's death, Xiaoyu was completely owned by the Shen family, and the person was originally given to him by Shen Xi Ma Jiu, and now he stays in the Shen family to do things, which is naturally reasonable, not to mention that the Lu family and the Shen family have always paid Xiaoyu before, although it is not much, but Xiaoyu knows how to save, and she is in charge of eating and drinking on weekdays, and she doesn't spend any money, so she has all accumulated, originally kept for the elderly, and now has relied on the savings as a dowry, and Ma Jiu has been cheapened in vain.

The hero has tears and does not flick, but at this time, Ma Jiu is grateful to Shen Xi from the bottom of his heart with tears of joy.

"Brother Jiu, get up, they are all their own brothers, it's not good to be so polite."

Shen Xi helped Ma Jiu up from the ground, and was about to continue to persuade, when a person walked in outside, holding a wine jug in his hand, walking crookedly, he was drunk at a glance, and he looked at it, who was Tang Yin?

Tang Yin had a look of envy on his face, he probably knew about Ma Jiu's marriage from others, but his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Shen Xi...... You, the proprietor, are so angry, you know that I am now a single, but you are busy planning for the marriage of your subordinate, and you can't be angry with me?

Tang Yin is arrogant and will never marry a girl, so the story of Tang Bohu ordering Qiuxiang is not in line with history at all, no matter what Tang Yin says, he is Xie Yuan, he is a great talent, a celebrity, even if he wants to marry a wife, he must pay attention to the right person, otherwise it will be a smear on his face and the entire scholar class.

Shen Xi deliberately embarrassed Tang Yin, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, Ma Huyuan will get married in a few days, remember to come over and drink a few glasses of happy wine." ”

Tang Yin glanced at Ma Jiu coldly and said, "Naturally, you want to drink the wine, it depends on whether the wine is mellow or not." Shen Zhongcheng, it's not early, it's time to go back to the inn to rest......"
