Xia Yingniang listened carefully, and slowly showed a little sorrow in the corner of her eyes.

Chen Yun was observant, and when she saw a sad look between her eyebrows, she couldn't help but be curious: "The weather has turned cold recently, why did you come to see me?" ”

Xia Yingniang hesitated, and the corners of her mouth twitched back.

Chen Yun saw that she wanted to speak, and only thought that something terrible had happened, so she pressed her hand in a panic and asked, "What's wrong with you?" How did he become so quick to talk in the past, but now he has become stumbling? It's unpredictable! ”

Xia Yingniang struggled a few times in her heart, and finally said: "Actually, I didn't come to see my sister on purpose, just because I had something to ask for, so Baba came to the door!" ”

When Chen Yun heard this, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she said calmly: "What's the matter?" We are Jinlan sisters, and we once swore in private, Gou is rich and noble, don't forget each other, now that I have attained the Tao, shouldn't I bring my sister to help? ”

Xia Yingniang listened carefully and couldn't help frowning.

Chen Yun looked at her fixedly and said with a smile: "Okay, if there's anything, just say it, as long as I can help, I won't shirk it!" ”

Xia Yingniang said: "It may be very difficult to put this matter in the hands of others, but when it comes to my sister, it is effortless!" ”

When Chen Yun heard her say this, she was happy and anxious in her heart, happy that she finally had the ability to be in danger and solve people's difficulties, anxious in case she couldn't get started, not to mention whether Xia Yingniang would feel that she was angry, and even she felt that she had ruined her sisterhood.

After a few turns in his heart, Chen Yun opened his mouth and asked, "Let's talk about it, if it's really not difficult, I'll do it for you today!" ”

Xia Yingniang was happy to hear this, and hurriedly said: "This matter is a long story, so I'll briefly talk to my sister." My father-in-law is an honest farmer, who has been guarding more than ten acres of ancestral property to live, and he has enough food and clothing every year, but he is also content. This year, Feng Daguan in Wuxi City owed someone a sum of money, so he had to sell the grange and give the dozens of acres of family property under his hand to a man surnamed him! ”

Chen Yun listened with bated breath, she could still understand the first half of the words, but in the second half, she didn't quite understand, so she had to interrupt Xia Yingniang's words and asked, "What Feng Daguan, Master Ren, what do they have to do with you?" ”

Xia Yingniang was late for a moment and said, "Isn't there a grange family property in this Shen Mansion?" ”

Chen Yun shook his head sincerely, and said: "There is a grange in our house, which is in the area of Fushou Mountain in the west across the pond, but because the grange does not occupy much land and the annual output is negligible, it is only used as a burial place over the years, and the ancestors have authorized the farmers who guard the grange not to pay tenant rent, so I have been in charge of the accounts for more than a month, and I have never seen this income!" ”

Xia Yingniang nodded again and again when she heard this, and said, "No wonder my sister doesn't know!" Saying, he continued: "Most of our village are tenant farmers, year after year, just pointing to the real estate to live, and now the Feng officials want to sell the land to compensate for the money owed to the master, which is understandable, but it has suffered those farmers in our village, and there is no land all of a sudden, how can they live in the future?" ”

"Then what's the use of you looking for me?" Chen Yun understands crops

The suffering of people, I couldn't wait to chase Xia Yingniang to ask.

Xia Yingniang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That old man has so much land, naturally he can't leave it empty, and he still has to lease it out, but he asked the farmers to pay the deposit first, and my father-in-law said that he has a little savings in his hand, but those farmers in the village can't do it, although he has saved money in previous years, but because he has to pay tenant rent to Feng Daguan every year, his hands are too short!" ”

Chen Yun understood, and couldn't help but wonder: "Let's sisters, don't be angry with me!" ”

Xia Yingniang shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind.

Chen Yun put her mind at ease and said, "I listened to it for a long time just now, and your father-in-law doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter, since that's the case, why bother squeezing up?" This sounds better, your father-in-law is a Zhuangzi person, but if something happens in the future, wouldn't it be asking for hardship? ”

"It's not all about sacrificing himself for him, I borrowed money from my sister, and the second is to buy off the housekeeper of Renfu, so that I can take care of the grange and collect rent!" Xia Yingniang said slowly, "I've said it completely, and I hope my sister will give me a helping hand!" ”

Chen Yun saw that she wanted to worship herself, and hurriedly helped her up, saying: "Anything that can be solved with silver is not a difficult matter, but the difficult thing is that I took over the housekeeper's errand. Even if my wife is kind and agrees with me to pay money from the account, I am afraid that people will have a truth, saying that I am using my power for personal gain, and I am using the money from the government to invite people to buy people's hearts! ”

When Xia Yingniang heard this, she began to worry secretly.

Chen Yun deliberately glanced at her, and when she saw her sad eyes, she couldn't help but smile: "I didn't say that I wouldn't help you, what are you doing with a worried face?" Although the official can't come up with the money, I still have a little bit of self-care in the room, even with the minister's monthly money of four or two taels and my monthly money of two taels, I have saved for the past few months, to say the least, there are forty or fifty taels, which should be enough for you once! ”

Xia Yingniang was overjoyed, the corners of her eyes were moist for a moment, and she occasionally looked at the generous Chen Yun, choked up and couldn't speak.

Seeing her like this, Chen Yun couldn't help but smile: "What's so worth touching about?" I'll help you today, and you'll help me tomorrow, it's nothing more than a human exchange! ”

Xia Yingniang sighed and said, "Sister, what you said is bad, you are now rich in fine clothes and fine food, rich in shoes, and I have thin clothes, which round will I help you?" ”

Chen Yun said: "The world is impermanent, who knows what the future will be?" You only see the external grandeur of this mansion, and you don't know the inside story very well, unlike me, who deals with the account book every day, and knows best what the situation is in this mansion, which is nothing more than a grain for money! ”

Xia Yingniang was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Chen Yun was not very convenient to talk to her about the account room, so she had to divert the topic, casually chatted about the married life of the two, and then passed a table of dishes, and the sisters ate and talked, how much sadness and unbearable, how much affection, and paid for a glass of wine.

After dinner, Xia Yingniang wanted to rush back to Wuxi Mansion, Chen Yun thought that she was far away and couldn't keep her, so she had to tell Ruiyun Haosheng to send her out of the house.

Ruiyun sent someone back, and when he saw Chen Yun sitting alone under the window, he suddenly felt desolate, and hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Grandma is busy here."

After a few days, I finally have time to rest! ”

"How can it be so light?" Chen Yun said with a little emotion, "Take a day off today, tomorrow we should organize a congratulatory gift for the second girl of the Wang family, and then go to the second sister-in-law of Yi, one after another, I'm afraid I will be busy!" ”

Ruiyun said intimately: "Grandma is busy running around all day, I see, I have lost a lot of weight, and when our grandfather's house comes, I'm afraid I will feel distressed again!" ”

When Chen Yun heard this, she immediately glanced at Ruiyun and said, "As soon as you mention him, my heart will be unstable." Why did he go back to Jiangning for more than a month, and he didn't send a letter home, I really don't know what he was busy with? ”

"What else can you do? It's just that he is busy studying in order to become famous in the future! Ruiyun answered quickly.

Chen Yun was noncommittal.

At this time, Ruicai walked in with a smile and stepped forward and said, "Grandma, the second grandmother is happy!" ”

"Happy?" Chen Yun was puzzled, "Don't just say half hide and half hide, where does the joy come from, you can make it clear!" ”

Ruicai smiled and said: "The second grandmother was diagnosed by the doctor and is happy, right now, the second wife and our wife are in Yanxi Hall!" ”

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and secretly sighed that An Qichun was so blessed, and there was a happy pulse overnight, on the other hand, she begged day and night, and this belly still couldn't get up, it was really bitter, and she couldn't help blurting out: "The second sister-in-law is really blessed, let's go, let's go and take a look!" ”

Ruiyun helped him a little, and then followed Chen Yun without leaving an inch.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Yanxi Hall, and saw Mrs. Wu, Chen, and Pan Cuilian standing together, and An Qichun honestly lying in the Babu bed.

Chen Yun hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and Mrs. Wu immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Chen pretended to be angry: "Look at how blessed your second sister-in-law is, all of a sudden, there is a fetal breath, why are you so unlucky?" ”

Chen Yun was so ashamed that her face was red.

Pan Cuilian smiled from the side: "The third wife, don't blame me for being a junior who is too talkative, it's not on her head, she has been looking forward to having an heir, but the Fu brothers are all outside, and their little couple gets together less and leaves more, this is the root cause!" ”

When Chen heard this, he smiled but did not say anything.

Mrs. Wu didn't care about them gossiping, but just kept telling An Qichun about the matters that should be paid attention to during pregnancy one by one.

An Qichun nodded only slightly.

Mrs. Wu was afraid that she and Shen Yi would be young and vigorous and could not bear the loneliness in the house, so she persuaded them to abstain from sexual affairs, saying that even if they were interested, they should suppress their breath as soon as possible, otherwise, the adults would enjoy it, but harm the fetus.

At this moment, not only An Qichun lowered her eyebrows in shame, but even Pan Cuilian and Chen Yun looked at each other and lowered their heads.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was in too much control, Chen leaned forward and said involuntarily: "I think you should worry less about snacks, this child is older, he already has an idea in his heart, he knows what to do and what not to do, which round will you be instructed here?" ”

Mrs. Wu choked in her throat, and finally suppressed the words that had reached her throat. Slowly adjusting her sitting posture, Mrs. Wu's eyes were confused, and she suddenly saw the girl green

Luan brought the tea, hurriedly stopped it, and asked, "Has this tea bowl been washed beforehand?" ”

Qingluan was stunned for a moment and said, "This is what our grandmother is used to every day......"

"You don't need to clean it every day?" Mrs. Wu raised her eyebrows and glared, "You are light-hearted, how do you know the truth that you don't wash the cup when you drink tea, and the king of Hades urges your life?" ”

Qingluan bowed his head in a panic.

Mrs. Wu glanced at her and said, "Okay, read that you are a first-time offender, and bring it down and make a new bowl of tea, be careful in the future!" ”

Qingluan immediately took the tea bowl and ran out in a panic.

Chen Yun saw that Mrs. Wu was so careful, it was too much, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and saw Pan Cuilian's complicated expression, which seemed to be not very happy.

Chen Yun roughly guessed Pan Cuilian's thoughts, so she silently leaned on her shoulder, and her eyes signaled her to pretend to be more generous.
