Looking at the rapid retreat of the scenery on both sides of the official road, and feeling the cold wind blowing in his face, Xiao Yu'er realized that what he had been looking forward to had finally come true. It was not her brother who helped her realize this little dream, but the new sister-in-law.

Turning her head to look at her sister-in-law riding a horse, Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but admire, it was the first time she had seen a woman on a horse. My sister-in-law lowered her head and smiled at her, "Don't look around, hold on to your mane!" ”

Riding a horse is really faster than riding a car, and when Xiao Yu'er and her sister-in-law arrived at the city gate, they couldn't see the shadow of the carriage when they looked back. When she was bored, her sister-in-law invited her to eat wontons at a nearby stall and bought her candy balls.

My brother used to buy them candy balls, but at most they had a bunch per person, but my sister-in-law bought all the candy balls. Xiao Yu'er has never had so many sugar balls, and she will definitely not give them to her when she sees the water chestnut later.

Xiaoyu'er in the city has also been here, and her brother brought her and water chestnut here, but only twice. Because my brother doesn't like the city, my brother said that he can't go to the most interesting places, so Xiao Yu'er doesn't have many opportunities to come.

Xiao Yuer likes the city, there are many delicious things in the city, and my brother will buy them food, but he is always picky, saying that this can't be eaten, and that can't be eaten.

Sister-in-law is different, as long as someone says they want to eat, sister-in-law will definitely buy it for them, and will buy a lot, at noon it is to take them to the restaurant to eat a big banquet, many dishes and small fish have not seen, and my brother did not set up such a good banquet when he got married.

Xiao Yu'er burped her belly with a round belly, thinking of her brother who often took them to eat snacks at the stall, and she was really stingy compared to her sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law not only took them to eat delicious food, but also bought them fun and good clothes. Rouge gouache brocade clothes and embroidered shoes, unlike my brother who will buy some rattles and cloth tigers, even the flowers I buy are made of silk cloth, but my sister-in-law buys beaded flowers.

What shocked Xiao Yu'er the most was that her sister-in-law actually bought each of them a fur cloak, not the fur-trimmed cloak of Da Yu'er, but the whole of it was made of fur.

Rabbit hair, snow white and soft, on the day of her brother's wedding, she saw a young and beautiful lady wearing it, Xiao Yuer was very envious at the time, but she didn't expect that she would have it. The sister-in-law said that when she was older and not very tall, she would buy her a cloak made of fox skin.

It was the first time that Xiao Yu'er was looking forward to growing up, and she swore that this was the happiest day she had ever been born to the present! But when she came home she was not happy, and as soon as she got off the horse, she vomited incessantly, and her head was drowsy.

Xiaoyu is sick, her physical fitness is already poor, her spleen and stomach are also weak, she ate so many messy things this day, riding on a horse and galloping back and forth in the cold wind for dozens of miles, it is a strange thing not to get sick.

The culprit of Xiao Yu'er's illness, after a day of traveling, he was tired and couldn't go to bed early, but Ma Du cleaned up the mess, and stayed by Xiao Yu'er's side in the middle of the night, who called him a doctor.

Hearing Xiao Yu'er's incessant murmuring in her sleep, Madu put her ear up, and he only heard her mutter,

“…… Sister-in-law is so good, my brother is not as good as my sister-in-law......"

When Ma Du heard this, he really wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill him.

In recent years, Ma Du realized that there was one more person in the family, Xu Xiaopei. This woman has been there since Song Shuang entered the door, and seeing that it was almost the end of the year, this woman didn't seem to have any intention of packing up her things and going back to Pingjiang.

After lunch, when he was walking in the garden, Ma Du saw Xu Xiaopei under the plum tree, and when he saw that there was no one around, he stood far away and saluted, "Miss Xu......"

Before Ma Du finished speaking, he heard Xu Xiaopei's voice say coldly: "Master Ma wants to ask the little girl why she hasn't returned to Pingjiang when the New Year is about to be celebrated, yes or no?" ”

His mother's are all roundworms, this woman has never given Ma Du a good face from the beginning, and her poisonous tongue makes Ma Du even more intimidating, in fact, Ma Du doesn't want to provoke her.

But she is not Song Shuang's dowry maid, it is not the same thing to live in her own house all the time, and it will not have a good impact on her reputation.

"Exactly, it's strange why Miss Xu didn't go back to Pingjiang."

Xu Xiaopei said: "The little woman's parents died early, and she grew up in her uncle's house since she was a child. ”

"You know, isn't it my brother-in-law's friend Xu Ben? has been working as a staff member for Zhang Shicheng, is Mr. Xu in any trouble? ”

"It's not a trouble, after the destruction of Pingjiang City, my uncle was not implicated. However, seeing that Huang, Cai, Ye and others were beheaded, they were still afraid, and their families moved to Huzhou to avoid trouble. The little girl didn't want to go to Huzhou, so she and Sister Shuang had been living in Song Mansion, and now she was married, so she followed her to Yingtian. ”

Ma Du frowned and asked, "Miss Xu means that she will always live in my house?" ”

"Can't you?"

"Miss Xu is a woman who has not left the cabinet, and it is really bad for your reputation to live in my house and not have it."

Xu Xiaopei said with a straight face: "I don't care. ”

"That doesn't have a good impact on my reputation!"

Xu Xiaopei sneered, "You still have a reputation?" In Pingjiang, your reputation has long been stinky. ”

Sure enough, if it weren't for Song Shuang in the middle, Ma Du would definitely throw his sleeves and leave, he said patiently: "Why don't I beg King Wu and let Mr. Xu go back to Pingjiang, and Miss Xu can return home as soon as possible, how about it?" ”

Xu Xiaopei continued to sneer, "King Wu didn't want to do anything to my uncle in the first place, and the government didn't want my uncle. What do you ask King Wu to do? Do you want King Wu to make a decree to my uncle, 'You hurry back to Pingjiang, I promise not to kill you'. Do you think my uncle would dare to go back? I'm afraid I'm going to run farther. Master Ma, you are really ...... Hehe......"

Ma Du knew that she must have wanted to say, "You are really brainless" or something like that, she didn't say it as bluntly as before, and it was also for Song Shuang's sake.

Xu Xiaopei changed her tone and continued: "Even if my uncle returns to Pingjiang, I won't go back. ”

"Looks like you're staying at my house?"

"Can't you? I didn't eat you and drink yours, Sister Frost raised me. ”

Song Shuang's dowry is enough to support her for ten lifetimes, and the dowry is considered the woman's private property, if the woman dies and has no children, the mother's family can go back. Song Shuang wants to use her dowry to support her, but Ma Du really has nothing to say.

"Although I live in your house, you also owe me a great favor."

Ma Du smiled: "I haven't been in contact with you a few times, when did I owe you a favor?" ”

"In Pingjiang! On the day of the Midyear Festival, you put the lantern, Chen Bao also came to my house to ask me, but I didn't say. ”

Ma Du was a little surprised, Song Shuang didn't know about Kong Ming's lantern, she actually knew, it seems that a smart woman and a stupid woman are really different.

"Then I want to thank you!"

Xu Xiaopei said arrogantly: "That's not necessary, I'm also for Sister Shuang and for the Song family." I don't live in your house for nothing, I can help you manage your finances. ”

"Huh...... You're pretty picky. ”

Xu Xiaopei said with a straight face: "You think it's easy to be a housekeeper?" There's a lot of knowledge in it. Sister Shuang doesn't understand, the big fish seems to have a good look, and she doesn't know who to learn from in the wild way. Look at what kind of chaos your family has become, especially the maids and servants in the family are neither big nor small, and they eat nonsense all day long, which is not easy to manage, and no matter how big the family business is, it will be ruined. ”

Madu replied: "Don't be self-righteous, think I can't see it. The second grandfather and younger siblings are all from small families, and they don't know so many rules, and I don't want them to become a young master and young lady who is high up and have no human touch, and I don't want the family to become a cold yamen! ”

"Huh...... Since you're so human, stay with me! ”
