The Taoist idiot thought about the twelfth room, but only saw Wang Cui's side, and it was really unclear whether the old lady was big feet or small feet. Wang Yang and Wang Rongniang's mother and daughter, the former is a little "graceful" between actions, I thought it was an ancient woman walking like this, now think about it, isn't it inconvenient to walk after wrapping your feet?

Wang Rongniang? The idiot was convinced that the one should not have bound his feet, or had put his feet after binding them. Although she is gentle and demure in front of people, the one who shows her temperament in private is sassy and generous, and she is a little capable between her actions, and she is definitely not the kind of woman with small feet who needs to be supported when she walks.

Thinking like this, the Taoist idiot couldn't help but look at Wang Ning's family, thinking about whether this old lady was wrapped or not.

Wang Ningshi saw that he was looking at himself, but when he arrived at his new home, he was afraid of life, so he smiled more and more lovingly, and said to Wang Shunniang: "Erlang just came to the house, and he will cook two more dishes in the morning." ”

Wang Shunniang responded with a smile, got up and walked out of the east wing where the idiot was, but she didn't need to be helped, but there was still some inconsistency between walking. After all, in this family, there are only two people, Yan Boyan and Mama Yan, and they are both old.

Listening to Wang Ning's meaning, Mama Yan is getting older and her physical strength is not good, and now most of the guys in the kitchen are on Shunniang.

In this way, the Taoist idiot is puzzled. Even the housework has to be done by the little girl herself, naturally she is not raised by Miss Jiao, and she is dependent on her grandchildren, why does the old lady ruthlessly bind her granddaughter's feet?

These words are not easy to ask now, and the idiot stood up and said, "Grandmother, grandson go to help my sister light the fire." ”

Wang Ning didn't mention the teachings of "gentlemen are far away from cooking", and his eyes became softer and softer: "Mama Yan will give Shun Niang a hand." If Erlang has no shortage on him, can grandmother take you around the house? ”

That's right, since he passed to the outer nine rooms, the "Shilang" of the Taoist idiot has become Wang Xiaoer, known as "Erlang".

"Hmm." The idiot nodded in response, and didn't say anything like "tired", after all, he is a member of this family now, and the old lady in front of him is his relative, so there is no need to be so polite.

Wang Ning's expression became softer and softer, and the idiot took a step forward and grabbed Wang Ning's right arm.

Wang Ning smiled and said with disgust: "It's just a few steps at home, where can you use people?" As he spoke, he didn't push away the idiot, and let him hold him.

Because there is a south wall separating it, the yard is very cramped, looking around the courtyard buildings, in addition to the main house three rooms, the left and right wings of the two rooms each, between the left and right wings and the south wall, there are two small ear rooms, the east one has a chimney, there is a water tank in front of the door, obviously the kitchen is located; The one in the southwest corner is estimated to be a clean room.

Between the main house and the east and west compartments, there is a square open space, there is a well in the east open space, and on the ground around the well, there are several rows of vegetable fields, and a few common vegetables are planted; In the open space to the west, there is a fence made of thin bamboo, in which seven or eight chickens are raised.

When the Taoist obsessive Wang Ning stood outside the fence, the big rooster in the flock stepped on the maple leaf step and walked out with his head held high.

The Dao idiot looked at the big rooster intently, and Wang Ning looked at the Dao idiot, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

She knew that the Taoist idiot had returned to the twelfth room, and in the early years, when the twelve rooms were worried, Wang Ning's family also came to the door with the clansmen. is also a clansman, and there is a eunuch over there, and he is just trying to get by.

Even if the idiot is smart, he is only a teenager, and it is normal for people to be unable to stand poverty for a while. No, this child came with him, and when he saw this small courtyard, the not spacious East Wing, he never showed the slightest pickiness and dissatisfaction.

I was not mistaken, this child is not only not a thing in the pool, but also has a frank and generous personality.

This place in the inner courtyard, but a dozen steps to turn around, as for the main house where Wang Ning's family is located, when the Taoist idiot just entered the door, he went to see it with Wang Ning's family, and put incense in front of the tablet in the east house.

The next thing to look at is the three south rooms in front, one is the residence of Yan Boyan and Mama Yan, so naturally you don't need to go in; The other two rooms have no partition and are the living rooms.

Six chairs, two circles on one side and three small ones, occupy most of the open space in the hall. In addition to these, there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a table is displayed under the north window, on which there is a pair of gall bottles. That's all there is to the living room.

Before he came out of the south hall, he heard a knock on the door, and then Yan Boyang said, "Old lady, the two ladies of the East Courtyard are here!" ”

After speaking, Yan Bo had already opened the door and released the people, leading them to the south hall. Seeing that he brought someone to meet without asking for instructions, it was obvious that the person who came was a very familiar person.

Wang Ning whispered to the idiot: "The east courtyard lives in an eight-room old lady. ”

There were two middle-aged women, dressed in similar attire, one in her forties, and one a little younger. Even if it is not silk and satin, the material of the clothes is better than that of Wang Ning's ancestors and grandchildren, with thin gold earrings on his ears and silver hairpins on his head.

The two of them carried a small basket about a foot long in their hands, and when they entered the house, they bowed their knees to Wang Ning's and said ten thousand blessings, and then the older one said: "Today's aunt has an heir, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law sent their nephews and daughters-in-law to congratulate the aunt, which is a little heart of the family, and please accept the aunt's face." ”

The other looked at the idiot and said in a slurp: "With such a appearance, it should be the grandson of the aunt, and the aunt is so blessed." ”

Both baskets were covered with floral cloths, and it was hard to see what was inside.

Wang Ning was still hesitating, but the two women had already put down their things and said, "There will be a family banquet here today, so we won't bother our concubine." The father-in-law said, let the nephew rest for two days first, and in two days, we will set up wine over there and invite the aunt and nephew to come over for a drink. ”

Wang Ning said with a smile: "In this way, the old woman will be ashamed of this gift, and in two days, the old woman will take her grandson to greet his uncle and grandmother." ”

The two of them left with a smile on their faces, Wang Ning carried a small basket by himself, and the remaining one told the idiot to mention it, and the two grandparents and grandchildren returned to the inner courtyard.

Shunniang wrapped her hair, came out of the kitchen, and said with doubts: "Grandmother, Mama Fang Cai said that the two uncles in the East Courtyard came to give gifts?" If you don't have a New Year's Day, how can you come over and leave people? ”

Wang Ning said: "Today is a good day for your brother to come home, what's so strange about them coming to the door to congratulate?" ”

Shun Niang took the basket in Wang Ning's hand and whispered: "Who doesn't know that except for the New Year's Festival, Bafang never shows his face and comes out to leave the favor." ”

While talking, the grandparents and grandchildren entered the main room.

In the central hall of the main room, there is a table of eight immortals, surrounded by four chairs.

The grandparents put the small basket on the table of the eight immortals, and lifted the flower cloth on it, one contained eggs, bacon, and rice cakes, and the other contained two azure muslins.

Maybe it's nothing at the behalf's house, but for the outer nine rooms, this etiquette is really not light.

Shunniang didn't take out the things, but looked at Wang Ning and said, "Grandmother, this gift is too heavy, do you want to return it?" ”

Wang Ning shook his head and said, "Where is the reason to return the gift you received?" Take it, just add new clothes to Erlang, and find a chance to return the gift in a few days. ”

Shun Niang looked at the idiot, and said with a smile: "Erlang's body fits this well, and it is good to release an inch if you do it again, it is the time to grow taller." ”

Wang Ning nodded with a smile, and then said to the idiot: "Erlang, the East Courtyard is a serious family, and the sons and daughters-in-law all live at home, and rarely walk around outside. Outsiders say that the eighth old lady is stingy, but they are angry that their family is living a good life. Although the eighth old lady is a person who does not eat at all, the old man acts in a measured manner and has never taken advantage of others in his life. The reason why I sent your two aunts over to give gifts today must be because I was a little embarrassed to receive the nine taels of silver. Speaking of which, they deserve it, and they don't need to be weak to my family. Speaking of which, the outer eight rooms are the closest relatives of our family, and it is good to have a watch over each other in the future. ”

The idiot nodded, indicating that he had written it down. To put it bluntly, this eighth old lady is a dime a dime, closes the door to live, and even the people in the clan move around very little, but he never takes advantage of others, although he accepted nine taels of silver today, but the old man is uneasy, so he has the next human affection to move, not only sent his daughter-in-law to send a four-color gift, but also took the initiative to invite them to dinner.

Shunniang was listening, her face was already white, and she said, "Grandmother gave the eighth uncle nine taels of silver?" Is that still on the side of the clan and the Ten Uncles? ”

Wang Ning nodded and said, "If it weren't for that, I don't know how the ten rooms would be crooked." Even in order to break their minds, this money cannot be saved. ”

Shun Niang took a long breath and said with a forced smile: "What grandmother said is exactly, this silver is used as a flower, or don't expect to live in peace." After that, he got up and said, "Granddaughter went to the kitchen to see if the food was cooked." ”

After that, Shun Niang hurried out of the main room.

The idiot could see that this girl was frightened by the huge debt of "twenty-seven taels".

Before returning to the city today, the Taoist idiot had already heard Wang Zhen mention that there was no labor in the outer nine rooms, and the twelve acres of land could only be rented out, and the annual output was only a dozen stone of rice, which was not enough for the four masters and servants to chew, and they had to rely on the two grandparents and grandchildren to make needlework to make up for their livelihood. This is also because of Wang Ning's kindness, even if the days are embarrassing, he also raises two old servants, and he is replaced by other unkind people, in order to save chewing, I am afraid that Yan Bo and Yan Mama will have been sold at a low price, or thrown out.

This time, the sect took the initiative to lend money to Wang Ning's family, and Wang Ning's family only thanked him, signed the note, and did not mention the date of returning the silver.

The Taoist idiot sighed in his heart, he didn't want to make the strong old lady in front of him feel aggrieved because of himself, and make the little girl in Shunniang frown. He took out a small cloth bag from his cuffs, sent it to Wang Ning's with both hands, and said, "Grandmother, this is a gift from the master before the grandson goes down the mountain, you can keep it, and exchange it for silver to supplement the family......

Hearing the Taoist idiot mention "exchanging silver", Wang Ning picked up the cloth bag, and felt that his palms were heavy, and when he opened it, there was a thick stack of gold leaves inside, which was more than a dozen or two.

Although Wang Ning was a little surprised, he quickly calmed down, glanced at the Taoist idiot deeply, and said, "I will collect it for Erlang and spend money on reading." ”

The idiot shook his head and said: "It's better to subsidize the family, the sister of the province is worried, and I should also let my sister rest, I look at my sister's eyes are not very good, do you ask the doctor to prescribe two prescriptions for conditioning and conditioning?" ”

Neither of the ancestors and grandchildren mentioned the matter of returning the twenty-seven taels of silver to the sect's house, it seems that they are people who are well-versed in the world, and they know that for the clan, the amount of money owed is more satisfactory to the sect than to pay it back. Zongfang took the initiative to help and lent money to the outer nine rooms, not to be the creditor of the outer nine rooms, but to sell favors to Taoist idiots.

Shun Niang's eyes are blue, when she looks at people, her eyes are a little squinted, according to later generations, the little girl is afraid that she is short-sighted. In the afterlife, it was just a pair of glasses, and it was not a trivial matter at this time, so the idiot took the initiative to mention it.

When Wang Ning heard this, his eyes were already red, and he said in a dumb voice: "It's the old woman who dragged down your sister, and it's the old woman who is useless." ”

The idiot said: "With grandchildren, grandmother and sister can rest......"
