Xu Yuanzuo had been tired all day, and he didn't have the patience to spend time with him, so he urged: "Brother Jiezi, in fact, I can understand this matter, you love what I want." I don't have a problem with that. ”

Duan Xingxue knew that Xu Yuanzuo's attitude was already colder than when he killed the black people, and he felt encouraged, raised his head and said: "I know Brother Jinglian's elegance below, but I really can't think of anything to drive below...... It's embarrassing. ”

Xu Yuanzuo opened his mouth slightly: "Drive ...... Envoy? ”

Duan Xingxue struggled for a long time before he said, "The student wants to find a museum in Renshoutang." ”

Xu Yuanzuorao was well-informed, but he was still taken aback: his understanding of Duan Xingxue was not shallow, and he was an honor student. Although I heard that I didn't go to the township test last year, the future still looks bright. Generally speaking, only those who are under too much financial pressure will go to the museum to make a living. Duan Xing has no parents in school, just a sister, and a brother-in-law who is a county prince, so it stands to reason that he will not come out to do things.

"Brother Jiezi, this matter is simply not worth mentioning." Xu Yuanzuo cleared his throat: "It's just that Brother Jiezi's studies can be arranged?" ”

Duan Xingxue was not nervous when he heard this, but there was still some embarrassment. He was originally a person who was dedicated to learning, and he always felt that it was a very dishonorable thing to drop out of school halfway. Of course, the story of Xu Yuanzuo's part-time job has spread all over Songjiang, but at that time, the Xu family was poor, so Xu Yuanzuo's study could also be understood by everyone. As for the later continuation of the genealogy with Xu Ge Lao, with a family background, Xu Yuanzuo is still in charge of Jia Ye, in the eyes of the people, it is "repaying gratitude", and it is also a drama of "sacrificing the ego and achieving righteousness" that everyone likes to see.

With an example like Xu Yuanzuo, and Duan Xingxue's vision is quite high, except for Renshoutang, which dominates one side, there seems to be no other business worthy of his service. What's more, he also proposed to the Xu family, and now he has come to the point of asking for an appointment. It's almost time to get married. With this relationship, it is reasonable for Duan Xingxue to come to Xu Yuanzuo for a job.

"Last year, Wenyun was so low that I didn't even go to the audience. Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law passed away due to illness again, the pillars of the family were depressed, and the students were a little unable to read for a while. Anyway, the coming day is long, and the world will be seen first. It's never too late to go back to reading. Duan Xing learned.

Xu Yuanzuo nodded again and again, with a sad look on his face: "There is such a thing, it is the younger brother who has lost his greetings outside for many years, and forgive his sins." This time, when I went home, my parents and sisters didn't bother to talk about it! Is it all in place at home? He knew that Duan Xingxue's parents died, and he relied on his eldest sister Ru's mother to raise him, and now that his brother-in-law has died, it can indeed be called a sudden change.

The rice of the child is originally intended to be a food subsidy, and you can also mix a round belly if you eat it alone. If you want to count on that breadwinner, you don't have to count on it at all.

"Thank you for your concern, my brother-in-law has already settled in the ground." Duan Xingxue thanked him.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "I am short of manpower here. Brother Ring is willing to help, which is a blessing for me. Functions can be arranged at any time. ”

"Really!" Duan Xingxue was overjoyed.

Of course, Xu Yuanzuo will not joke with him. In this era, Xiucai still has preferential exemptions, and he belongs to local decent people. Although they have not undergone professional skills training, the foundation of Chinese culture is not bad. At least stronger than high school Chinese students, and stronger than university science students. It only takes a short period of observation and training. It's okay to take on middle and low-level management positions. What's more, Duan Xingxue is also a relative, and in the human society, his starting point is naturally higher than others.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "As for the specific position, it still depends on the preference of Brother Ring. You can be an assistant by my side first, and when Brother Ring is familiar with our entire industry, he can arrange where he likes. ”

Duan Xingxue's worries are gone. Thinking about it, although he doesn't know anything about Jia Ye now, if he can follow the cloud world for a while, it will definitely not be useless.

"Also," Xu Yuanzuo reminded, "the younger brother is still a stagecoach this year. I'm afraid I'll have to go on a long trip. If it's convenient, please also set the marriage date as soon as possible. ”

Duan Xingxue grew up with his sister and brother-in-law, and his feelings are naturally very deep, but there is no reason for his brother-in-law to mourn his brother-in-law in terms of etiquette. He is also in difficulty at home, thinking that the wedding date will be set as soon as possible, and the bride's dowry can also supplement the family. A rich man like Xu Yuanzuo can't let his sister go out shabby.

Xu Yuanzuo also means this. When something happens to someone else's family, my mother must have dealt with it, so I don't have to worry about it. Now it is best to ask my sister to pass the door early, and the dowry brought over can help the Duan family get through the predicament, which is conducive to the harmony of the husband and wife.

When Xu Yuanzuo is his age, he will know that the love and love of boys and girls are all lies. To really make two people together and beautiful, it still depends on "experience". It is precisely because of the good time that two people spend together and the dilemma they have overcome together that the husband and wife can become one.

Duan Xingxue returned home and discussed the marriage with his sister. Duan's lack of cowardice and the new loss of her husband only felt that there was no more miserable person in the world than her. If it weren't for the fact that her son was still drooping, and her younger brother was still very immature although he went to school, she really wanted to go with her husband.

"It's better to be earlier, if the Xu family enters the door earlier, I can entrust Le'er to you." Duan's sorrow came from it, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.

Duan Xingxue was at a loss: "How can my sister say such heartless words!" ”

Duan's knew that his younger brother was not good at words, so he held back his tears and said with a forced smile: "Yes, my sister still wants to see my nephew grow up to be the champion." ”

Duan Xingxue was slightly shy, and said, "Sister, what kind of day do you see?" Only Jinglian from the Xu family said that it was best to be faster, he was afraid that he would have to travel far in the next year. ”

"The Xu family is actually your brother-in-law in charge, and his meaning is naturally the meaning of the Xu family. Since he said that he wanted to hurry, would the nearest auspicious day, the twenty-ninth of this month, be too rushed? Although the Duan family is still grieving, his younger brother's marriage has also been worried, and I don't know how many times he has turned over the yellow calendar, and he has memorized it at auspicious times and on auspicious days.

Duan Xingxue said: "I'll go and talk to the Xu family first, let's see what they mean." ”

Duan said: "You should have grasped this matter yourself." ”

Duan Xingxue scratched his head and said, "Actually, the Xu family has not had a good time recently. There are rumors in the school that Gao Xiang wants to liquidate the Xu Party, and the Xu family has been robbed of their official bodies and wants to be assigned to the border! ”

Duan frowned slightly, and said, "Since there is such a saying, you should marry someone sooner." ”

"Huh?" Duan Xingxue said ignorantly: "I'm afraid of causing chaos to others." ”

Duan sighed helplessly: "You person." In addition to reading, you should also know a little about human feelings. How can a family affair that was already engaged be neglected because of a bad family situation? The more unpleasant people are, the more we should pay attention to them, so that they can rest assured. ”

"Oh, that's what it means." Duan Xingxue hurriedly said, "I understand." ”

Duan asked his younger brother to sit widely. When he returned to the inner room, he opened the mirror case that he used for his usual makeup, and now there was a gold ring in it. She took the ring, returned to the outer room, and stuffed it into her brother's hand: "You take this ring." ”

"Didn't we have a dowry?" Duan Xingxue looked dazed.

Duan couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Don't you spend money when you get married?" ”

Duan Xingxue said oh oh twice, just put it in his hand, and suddenly thought that his sister might not have enough money, otherwise why would he want him to be a ring? He hurriedly stuffed it back to his sister: "Sister." How does this work? I will raise money for my own personal use, how can I be your jewelry? ”

Duan's eyes widened, and he said, "If you take it, will I still need it in the future?" ”

Duan Xingxue was about to say something for his nephew and daughter-in-law, when he heard footsteps outside, and the old servant of the family reported outside: "Madam, the tea girl of the Xu family is here, saying that she is here to deliver something." ”

Duan pushed his younger brother. ended this tug-of-war and said to the outside: "Please come in and talk." ”

The old servant outside went to ask Cha Cha to come in.

Duan Xingxue held the ring. I don't know what to do.

Duan pursed his lips and said, "You go first, people are in a hurry to send people over, and there is something wrong with me." ”

Duan Xingxue retired at this time.

After a while, Cha Cha came in with a food box, which looked quite heavy. When she saw Duan's family, she bowed and said, "That day, my brother Zuo'er tasted the pastries given by the eldest lady. It's just that I've never eaten anything better. This time, I invited a cook from Guangdong to come back, and I am the best at making Cantonese dim sum. ”

Duan didn't remember anything about sending snacks to Xu Yuanzuo for a long time, and he couldn't think of under what circumstances he would send snacks to a young man he hadn't interacted with. If it weren't for her, she knew that Xu Yuanzuo was young. There is no need to avoid suspicion, otherwise these few words alone can knock out Chacha.

Cha Cha didn't say anything in detail, and stood aside with the food box.

Duan said: "Thank you Brother Zuo. Seeing Cha Cha standing aside and seeming to be waiting for something, she guessed, "I'll vacate the food box." ”

Cha Cha hurriedly said, "No, no." Grandma, keep it, don't pay it back. The maid wants to ask, has an auspicious day been set in your house? ”

Only then did Duan Shi come to his senses and blame himself: "I was confused." I was about to inform your government to see if it was appropriate to see if it was appropriate on the twenty-ninth day of this month? ”

Cha Cha counted the days and said, "There are still twelve days...... I'll go back and report to my brother, well, and the lord and wife. ”

Duan smiled: "It's hard work." ”

Cha Cha got the letter and immediately left. The Duan family didn't keep her, and wanted to give a reward again, but Cha Cha politely declined, only saying that Zuo Ge'er would not allow anyone to take a reward. Duan's knew that Xu Jinglian was strict in governing the family, and the slaves and maids were still like this, and the young lady could not help but feel a little more good for her brother and daughter-in-law who had not yet met.

After Cha Cha left, Duan opened the food box and prepared to take the pastries for his son and younger brother to eat. The food box was quite heavy, and she secretly said in her heart: How full does this have to be? When the lid of the box was removed, I couldn't help but gasp. I saw that there were four pieces of Cantonese crisp cakes in it, which were not eye-catching, but the five silver cakes next to them were eye-catching. She took a piece and started with a heavy one, afraid that there would be more than twenty taels. The other four pieces are only big and not small, and they add up to hundreds of taels.

Only then did the Duan family know that the Xu family was nominally here to deliver pastries, but in fact, they were afraid that the Duan family would be short of money and lose face when they got married, so they specially sent silver. She wanted to return it to others, but the situation in her own home was also a lice on the monk's head - obvious.

The husband is a petty official, and he is an honest and self-disciplined person, he has no savings, and he emptied his family when he saw a doctor and took medicine. At present, the family can't even afford to support their subordinates, and there is only one old servant left, who is an old family member who has worked in the Duan family for 30 years, and is willing to leave without receiving wages.

None of this is a secret, and there's really no need to be reckless. Looking at her son who is not sensible and her younger brother who urgently needs money to marry, she doesn't think she can afford to be strong.

Duan closed the lid of the food box, tilted his head and took a breath, the original feeling of suffocation seemed to be blown away by a breeze, and the heart of begging for death was also gone.

No matter how difficult the road is, it can still be walked after all.
