Although he knew that Wang Sanye must have come to the door to have something, but seeing him kneeling before saying a word, the smile on Wang Ning's face immediately froze.

She glanced at Wang Sanye lightly, and said to the idiot: "Help your third cousin uncle to get up, this is not a year, don't break the old woman's life." ”

The Taoist idiot stepped forward in response, and his eyes were also scrutinized.

Wang Sanye blushed, pushed away the hand of the idiot, and did not get up. He untied a blanket from his waist and said with a face full of shame: "My nephew knows that he should not bother his aunt anymore, but he is really someone who can not be trusted. My nephew told Brother Han today that he wanted to get an errand outside. Brother Han agreed to his nephew's errand in Guangzhou, and tomorrow morning his nephew got up and went to Guangzhou. ”

When Wang Ning heard this, his expression was still gloomy.

Wang Sanye covered his face with his sleeves, and a man actually cried out with a "whin": "Qilang's mother and Qilang are gone, and the nephew is only left with the fifth sister's blood." The aunt is kind-hearted, the aunt is good these days, and the aunt's embarrassed nephew sees it in his eyes, and he will never ask his aunt to be embarrassed...... The eldest brother of the third room Han said that he wanted to find a girl in the clan to accompany the sister-in-law Han, and he happened to pick up the fifth sister. ”

Seeing this, Wang Ning couldn't help but be moved, sighed and said, "Don't blame me, our house is so old and small." When you were there, you still took a good look at the fifth sister Gu and the second sister; If you're not there, we can't afford to provoke you. ”

Wang Sanye wiped a handful of tears, shook his head and said: "Although my nephew is confused, he knows how to do it, and it's too late to be grateful to his aunt, where can he say anything to complain?" Without the care of my aunt these days, even if the fifth sister survived, she would be crippled. As he spoke, he put the blanket on his hands and said, "Auntie, this is my nephew's salary for five years, a total of one hundred and twenty taels." Ten taels of silver to return the aunt's medicine money, ten taels of silver to add makeup to Shunniang, and the remaining one hundred taels are bothered by the aunt to help the nephew save it. If the nephew is outside, there is a good one, the fifth sister's side, please have mercy on the aunt or two......"

When Wang Ning heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he said angrily: "What did you say? How old are you, just say that there is nothing here. ”

Wang Sanye choked up and said, "My nephew has already made up his mind,...... Before, the nephew would not come back...... The aunt takes pity on the poor nephew, help the nephew, don't let the nephew still worry about the family outside. ”

Wang Ning looked at him for a while, and finally sighed and took the blanket. When it was opened, there were ten taels of silver each, a total of twelve.

She said to the idiot: "Go and write a receipt for your third cousin." ”

When Wang Sanye heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no......"

Wang Ning said: "When it comes to property, it must always be clear." ”

The idiot answered, returned to the east chamber, wrote a receipt of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, hesitated when it was finished, and wrote his name down.

Back in the upper room, the idiot handed the receipt to Wang Ning. Seeing the amount above, Wang Ning nodded to the idiot and handed it to Wang Sanye.

Wang Sanye was stunned for a moment, and then tore up the receipt with a "swish", and said: "It is natural to repay debts and money." The aunt's family is not wealthy, and these days she asks for medical advice for the fifth sister, and the money is like flowing water. If the nephew has no money to pay, he can still be cheeky to owe; Now that he has the money and still hasn't paid it back, what has become of his nephew? Even if the aunt doesn't nod her head today to help her nephew collect this life-selling silver, the nephew won't be verbose anymore, but she will only take away a hundred taels. Those twenty taels, I won't bring anything I said. ”

Honest people are stubborn and more stubborn.

Wang Ning shook his head, and said helplessly to the idiot: "Go and write another note for your third cousin." ”

The receipt of one hundred taels of silver, Wang Sanye did not refuse again, took it and collected it, and then kowtowed respectfully three times, and said: "Tomorrow my nephew will leave, and I will say goodbye to my aunt here today, my aunt is a good person, and there will always be a good reward behind." ”

Wang Ning sighed and said: "The old woman is so old, what can she do if she is not rewarded?" When people leave their hometowns, you should also take care of yourself when you are outside. When encountering difficulties, gritted his teeth and thought more about the fifth sister. Wait for the new year, meet a considerable one, and then continue to have a family, and live a good life. ”

Wang Sanye said with red eyes: "Well, well, I listen to my aunt." ”

After finishing the business, Wang Sanye said goodbye and left, and the old lady instructed him to send him outside the gate.

When he walked out of the gate, Wang Sanye paused and said, "Erlang, I am so filial to the old lady." If there is something important in the family, spend the money first. Silver is dead, man is alive, and man is always the most important. ”

There was no temptation on his face, and it was true that he had said these words with a solid heart.

Although it was the first time for Dao idiots to deal with him, he also understood why Wang Qinghan valued him. is indeed an honest man, acting in a measured manner, even if he is poor, but he is not poor and stingy. The ancestral tomb of the tenth room is really smoking.

The idiot said: "The family can still support it, not so much." The third uncle is outside, so you need to take care of yourself. ”

Wang Sanye stretched out his hand and patted Dao Idiot's shoulder, nodded, turned around and left, his back was very gloomy......

Back in the upper room, Wang Ning looked at the blanket in a daze.

The Taoist idiot said: "The salary of twenty-four taels of silver a year is not low." ”

Wang Ning said: "Is Guangzhou Mansion easy to go? If you have a lot of money, you must have money to spend it. The imperial court forbids the sea, and those foreign trades in Guangzhou are not earning their lives. Your third cousin, if he has the slightest way to live, will not be forced to do this. Poor fifth sister, only four years old, no mother, now gone father. ”

The Taoist idiot comforted: "If the third room wants to pick up people, it will definitely take good care of it, not better than in that family." Uncle Santang has made great efforts again, no longer foolish and filial, and grandmother should rest assured. ”

Wang Ning nodded and said, "What Erlang said is exact, this is a good thing after all......"

Wang Qinghan didn't have a good time this year, he used to mainly rely on the sect, but last year he did a foolish thing for the sake of establishing an heir, and both offended the sect and the twelfth room.

Zongfang and Twelve Houses just sent a few letters, and the business of Wuchang Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion was difficult. It was Wang Qinghan who reacted quickly, gave several shops in Wuchang Mansion to Wang Zhen, and asked Wang Zhen to be a middleman, and gave the two Zhuangzi outside Anlu City to Wang Yang's family as compensation, which made the second room unhappy.

Now he wants to increase the share of business in Guangzhou, and he has not been without the idea of getting rid of the elbow of the clan system.

The idiot heard Wang Qi mention the three rooms, and roughly guessed these, and he was also quite moved by the foreign goods trade in Guangzhou Mansion, but he thought that the gold and silver mountains were not as good as the treasure mountains of the prince, so he suppressed the impatience in his heart and mentioned the matter of buying servants and maids to Wang Ning's family.

Wang Ning shook his head and said, "Where is there any place in the house now?" Sun Wang's family on the front street knew that your sister was preparing to get married, and she came over a few days ago and wanted to ask for a job, so I said that I would talk back after discussing with you. I thought that Mama Yan was also older, so it would be better for Sun Wang's family to come to work for a short time. Her home is so close that she doesn't have to live at home. Her kid is nine years old, and he can help Yan Bo. If you don't object, I'll tell her to come and show you tomorrow. ”

Before Shunniang got married, the home was indeed not spacious, and hiring a short-term worker who knew the roots was also a way to do both, and the Taoist idiot naturally had nothing to say, and said: "The left and right are waiting for the grandmother, and the grandmother said that it was good, and the grandson couldn't see anything." ”

You don't have to go out of the city to Xishan, this three-day holiday seems a bit long in the eyes of Taoist idiots.

Although he had already told Wang Ning that he didn't need to see the Sun family's mother and son, the next day Wang Ning still sent a message to the Sun family and asked the mother and son to come to the door.

The widow was thirty-five or six years old, and though she wore coarse old clothes, they were washable and clean; His son Sun Erzhu is also a quiet and honest child.

In addition to Sun Erzhu, Widow Sun also has a daughter who is married. In the past few years after Sun Wang's death, the orphans and widows of the Sun family were able to survive, and they also relied on the care there.

It's just that the daughter is married after all, and there is no reason to be helped by her daughter, and the widow Sun has not been idle in the past few years of filial piety, embroidering behind closed doors, and not being idle for a day. The reason why she corresponded with the outer nine rooms was also because she and Shunniang both did embroidery work for a shop in their early years.

But how easy is it to support the mother and son by embroidery alone?

I happened to hear the news of the outer nine rooms, and knew that their family was getting better, and Shun Niang not only stopped taking embroidery work, but also called slaves and maids, and appointed Zhang Jiaxiucai as an aunt.

Widow Sun came to the door to say goodbye, and found that the outer nine rooms were understaffed, so she cheekily recommended herself and wanted to bring her son over to do a short-term job.

Since the work at home is mainly on the stove, Widow Sun tried to make a few dishes. Except for a little oil, the other flavors are acceptable, and the idiot and Shunniang have nothing to say.

Wang Ning agreed with Widow Sun to sign a short-term contract first, and let her come over for a trial for three months, 300 yuan a month, for their mother and son to eat and drink three meals; After three months, if you are satisfied twice, sign a long-term deed, 400 yuan per month, and two sets of clothes inside and outside a year.

For the employees in the city, this salary is indeed not high, but it cannot be said to be low if you count the food of the mother and son. After all, the mother and son eat and drink for a month, and it is more than a few hundred dollars.

The matter of adding manpower to the family was finalized in this way.

The Taoist idiot was idle, so he returned to the East Chamber, feeling a little impetuous. In the middle of the reading, everyone else began to run errands, but because of his age, he could only stand behind the son. There seems to be nothing to do but read. But if you are a fortunate minister, fame is not so important.

Immediately, the Taoist idiot shook his head. Even if you want to be a fortunate minister, you have waited for the "Becoming a Child". Even if the prince promotes the people around him, there is no reason to appoint a half-old child to be an official.

If you don't succeed in your fame, when you are still young, there is no reason to abandon your family and business and follow your son to Beijing for thousands of miles.

Studying is still a hurdle, and we must pass the college exam in June next year.

He patted his forehead, since he was reborn, no one forced him to do anything, but why did he always feel that there was not enough time.

The Taoist idiot sighed, picked up the book "Notes on the Collection of Essays" and looked at it.

Shunniang happened to send Widow Sun back, and when she saw him working so hard, she smiled.

On May 29, Wang Sanlang came and told the idiot a message, he received a letter from the teacher, knew that the teacher was sick, and planned to visit the teacher in Nanchang Mansion ......;
