Chapter 373: Turning Hands into Clouds 4

Early the next morning, Xiaohong put on makeup and went to her mother's house in Rongfu, sitting in a small sedan chair carried by the two.

The small sedan chair was hired by the mother-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law who asked Xiaozhu to go out.

Although the Rong Mansion is not far away, that is, less than half a mile away, but the daughter-in-law is pregnant for five or six months, if she walks back, the five sisters-in-law are afraid that she will fall, and the other is also worried that the in-laws are unhappy, thinking that they are the mother-in-law's harsh treatment of the daughter-in-law, sparing the pregnancy in May and June, and not letting the sedan chair go home.

Carried by two strong women, Xiaohong sat in the sedan chair with a nine-year-old girl named Mei'er, and swayed all the way to Rongfu.

This eyebrow is one of the four little girls she bought when she passed the door last year, because she is smart and dexterous, she knows the eyebrows high and the eyes are low, Xiaohong likes it very much, so she made her a personal maid, usually helps to manage the accounts, and occasionally goes out, but also takes it with her.

"Take a look, take a look, the newly issued "Shangjing Daily", with sixteen pages, has fresh contentβ€”β€”"

"The inaugural issue of Shangjing Daily! Free on a first-come, first-served basis! ”

……

……

On the street, there were voices of solicitation one after another, Xiaohong felt strange, how could Bao Erye's Yanjing Morning News, there was another Shangjing Daily, opened the sedan curtain, and opened it outward, only to see four or five people in front of him, each holding a large stack of newspapers, walking back and forth on the street to solicit, and a bunch of people gradually gathered around.

After looking at it for a moment, Xiaohong put down the sedan curtain.

She had something to do today, although she thought of Bao Erye's newspaper from this, but her mind was not on this, and she quickly threw this scene away.

The sedan chair was carried to the back door of the Rong Mansion, and the little red master and servant got off the sedan chair one by one.

Like Zhou Rui and Wu Xindeng, Lin Zhixiao's family was also in the back door courtyard wall, Xiaohong entered the back door with eyebrows, and said hello to the old neighbors who came and went, and entered her mother's house on the other hand.

"The eldest sister is back!"

"The eldest sister is back!"

As soon as they entered the door, the two sharp-eyed little maids saw it and shouted at the inside.

Xiaohong is the eldest daughter at home, with two older brothers above, three younger sisters and one younger brother below, so she has been called "big sister" and "big sister" since she was a child.

Lin Zhixiao and his wife came out of the hall when they heard the sound, and Xiaohong hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Dad, mother." ”

Then the younger brothers and sisters also came out to greet the ceremony, but the two brothers were not at home, but went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and stood outside the hall.

The family talked, and after a while, Lin Zhixiao's family took Xiaohong to the bedroom.

After all, there are some things in the woman's family, and it is easy to talk about them between the two mothers, and she also sees that Xiaohong is coming back this time, as if she is on her mind, and she, as a mother, can't help but ask.

Sitting on the kang bed, Lin Zhixiao's family first asked about her daughter's pregnancy, and when she learned that there was nothing wrong, she put her mind at ease, and then asked her daughter about her daughter's affairs at her mother-in-law's house. You will talk to your mother. ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing important...... Seeing that her mother saw that she had something in her heart, her little red eyes turned slightly red, and then she suppressed it, "...... It's just that there have been some twists and turns in his business, and there is a shortage of accounts for a while...... My daughter wants to come back and borrow some...... Borrow some money and turn around ......"

"No," Lin Zhixiao's family observed the words and felt that things were not so simple, otherwise the eldest daughter, who has always been clever and assertive, would not be embarrassed to be like this, and couldn't help but straighten her face, "You are hiding it from your mother, you are so angry, what happened?" ”

"Mother......

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her mother, Xiaohong had to come to 1510.

"What? Uncle's capital is all folded, and the shop is about to close? Hearing this, Lin Zhixiao's family was stunned.

"When the raw silk of the Wa Kingdom came in, he couldn't think of it...... The raw silk shops in the whole capital have folded their books. ”

"Well, well, you don't have to say this to your mother, Hengzhu is a person with no luck. Originally, I watched him open a raw silk shop, and his life was good, but who knew that it was less than a year, and he was poor, and you still have a big belly, how will you live in the future? Lin Zhixiao's family was irritable and sadly waved his hand.

Seeing her mother's appearance, Xiaohong's nose was also a little sour, and she said with a strong smile, "Mother, where has it come to the point you said, you also know that Xianggong has the ability to make money, but now he is just unlucky, so his daughter wants to go home and borrow some money and let him do other business." ”

"I'll call your father in and discuss it."

Lin Zhixiao's frowning half sounded, got off the kang bed, and went to the hall.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Lin Zhixiao and his wife entered the bedroom together.

All the way from the hall, Lin Zhixiao had learned from his wife the reason why his daughter came home, and as soon as he entered the house, he said, "I heard your mother say that my aunt has folded the book, and the shop is going to be closed, so you have to lend him money to do another business." How much you want to borrow, you name the amount. ”

"Two or three hundred taels...... If it doesn't work, one or two hundred taels will also be made. Xiaohong looked at her father with a worried face, twisted her hands and whispered.

Lin Zhixiao shook his head and sighed lightly, "It's too much...... There are still two brothers above you who have not been married, and the four younger siblings below, two of them are still young, don't mention it, the two of them have also reached the age of being parents, and they are all waiting to spend money. You also know roughly how much money is in the family, I and your mother have been stewards for many years, and we have only saved a few hundred taels of silver, and you borrow one or two hundred taels, or even two or three hundred taels, if you can return it in time, it is nothing, but you can do business, you can't say, isn't my uncle losing a lot of money this time, but it's not good to borrow this money from you...... Alas, speaking of which, our family is still short of gold and silver, otherwise, what kind of borrowing words does the family mention, and encountering such a difficult thing, my father and mother will give you this silver money......"

Hearing her father's words, Xiaohong bit her lip and remained silent, feeling very disappointed.

She knew the situation at home, and in front of Jia Yun last night, she was just trying to dispel his concerns and deliberately speak lightly.

When I came back today, I had the idea of giving it a try, not to mention borrowing more, borrowing one or two hundred taels, and I was still a little sure, but I didn't expect that my father was here, but I immediately hit a wall.

"His father ......" Lin Zhixiao's family looked at their daughter's lonely appearance and shouted at her husband.

Lin Zhixiao waved his hand, took out twenty taels of silver from his arms, and stuffed it into his daughter's hand, "Take it, this is given to you by your father, although you can't open a shop, you should be a private housekeeper." As he spoke, he walked out of the room with a gloomy expression.

Lin Zhixiao's family secretly wiped their tears, and also turned out twenty taels of silver from the cabinet and stuffed them into their daughter's hands.

Xiaohong had mixed feelings in her heart, put the forty taels of silver in her purse, sat in a daze for a while, and got off the kang bed, "Mother, my daughter will go back first." ”

"Let's have lunch and then let's go."

"No, there's something going on at home."

The mother and mother came out of the bedroom, Xiaohong said goodbye to her father and younger siblings, and was sent by her mother to the courtyard gate.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, the two of them said a few words, and Xiaohong left with her eyebrows.

As soon as he took a few steps, he paused suddenly, looked into the deep house inside, and turned back again.

"What's wrong? But what did it fall on? Lin Zhixiao's family was about to enter the courtyard gate, and when he saw this, he couldn't help asking.

Xiaohong shook her head, "My daughter is going to the garden to wait for Bao Er Ye to come back, the errand of the husband was given by Bao Er Ye, and I am also the marriage that Bao Er Ye refers to, I will go to Yang him, maybe I can help us husband and wife again." ”
