Mrs. Hou said a few more words and let them go, outside the inner door, Lu Xi waited there early, and when she saw them come out, she nodded.

Mama Chen smiled and said to him, "I sent the person out, and then I will hand it over to the Lu manager, oh, by the way, I met Mrs. on the road, Mrs. looked at the cleverness of this girl, and said that it is better to let the son simply buy her, and accompany the girl every day to relieve her boredom." ”

Mama Chen's words, firstly, are to paraphrase Mrs. Hou's meaning, and secondly, in fact, she also has this idea in her heart.

Although this girl is not as casual as she made up, she can speak and be funny, but the son said that she has great strength, and she knows some fists and feet, and she is also a clever and happy person.

Lu Xi paused for a moment and replied, "I will convey the words to the son, and the grandmother will reply." ”

Wen Shu pursed her lips and didn't speak, Mama Chen glanced at her again, and turned around and went back to the inner door.

Out of the Hou Mansion, the carriage had stopped outside the side door, Wen Shu listlessly climbed into the carriage, but when the curtain was lifted, he found that there were things inside, two trays, one with two sets of dresses of different colors, and the other with half a leg of mutton and a few dried fruits.

She turned her head in surprise and looked at Lu Xi: "Steward Lu, are the things in the carriage yours?" Has the Hou Mansion sent New Year's goods? There was a hint of envy in his words.

Lu Xi smiled, sat on the wheel, shook the reins and said, "Little lady, sit down, the carriage is about to start." ”

"Oh, good." Wen Shu answered the call and went in and sat down, and heard Lu Xi's voice outside: "It's not mine, it's for the little lady." ”

"For me?!" Wen Shuleng stopped.

"Yes, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, today is the day when the Hou Mansion will send New Year's goods to the next person, Gongzi said that although the little lady is not from the Hou Mansion, but after the year, she will accompany the eldest girl to Cangzhou, so she will also be counted as a part, let me go and receive these things." I also chose those two dresses according to the shape of the little lady, and I don't know if it fits, if it is not suitable, the little lady will change it herself. ”

Wen Shu touched the material of the clothes, sighed in his heart, and said strangely that the prime minister's door was a seven-rank official, and this Hou Mansion really even dressed better than her!

Look at this material, this feel, much stronger than what she bought last night, if it is placed in the cloth village, how can it be sold for thirty or fifty yuan a foot, these two sets of dresses plus the cotton stuffed in them, I am afraid that it will not be worth the same money! Not to mention, there is also a raw edge on the collar of this autumn-colored jacket!

She carefully recalled what she saw in the Hou Mansion, but there was no girl ring along the road who wore it so well, could it be that it was the close-fitting girl ring that had this treatment?

She recalled the clothes of the two girls beside Lu Xingwan just now, but unfortunately there was a brazier in the house, and they were not wearing jackets, but they just put on a small autumn gown in a plain shirt, and there was no evidence.

Wen Shu had some doubts in his heart, and at this time, Lu Xi outside spoke again: "Oh, by the way, there is a money bag under the dress, which contains eight peanut-shaped small silver nudes, a total of two taels of silver, the little lady can be put away, don't drop it." ”

Wen Shu opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, he unexpectedly remembered Mama Chen's words in his mind, was stunned for a moment, and said in a fixed voice: "Bother Steward Lu to bring a message to the adult, although my family is poor, I will never sell myself, take these things back to Steward Lu." ”

Lu Xi laughed out loud: "The little lady misunderstood, this is not selling money, don't worry about it." ”

"Really?" Wen Shu still had some doubts.

"Really, Childe knows that the little lady has high ambitions and will not force you to sell herself, so don't worry about it."

"But this New Year's gift is too heavy!" Wen Shu looked at the things on the tray and muttered.

Lu Xi seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "If the little lady really feels ashamed, on the way to Cangzhou in the future, just take more care of the eldest girl." ”

Take more care of the big girl?

This is a conscience discovery, and I feel that it may backfire to restrain her to protect Miss Lu with a piece of paper, so I adopted a policy of tenderness and gave her some clothes and food in the name of New Year's gifts, so that she would be grateful, so as to protect Miss Lu sincerely.

Thinking about it like this, it seems that everything has made sense, and she is simply amazed by her cleverness and wisdom!

Since this is the case, then she is relieved, so she happily accepts the things, anyway, she doesn't accept these things, there is a contract in her to protect the safety of Miss Lu,

It's just that on the surface, I still thanked him: "Then thank you, adult, if you can't express your gratitude in person, then bother Steward Lu to bring a sentence for me, and the little girl wishes the adults to enjoy their official luck and rise step by step." ”

Lu Xi smiled: "Don't worry, little lady, I will pass on the word." ”

Since the last horse shocking incident, Lu Xi has become much closer to Wen Shu in his heart, after all, a little woman didn't think about jumping out of the car by herself at a critical juncture, but took him with her, this righteousness is really rare.

is also because of this performance, so that the adults also have a little more trust in her, and today's thing is indeed under the guise of a New Year's gift, the actual reason is that when he took Wen Shu to the inner door, he happened to let the son see it.

Seeing that she was still dressed so shabby at the end of the year, the son shook his head, and immediately ordered him to go to the ready-to-wear shop outside to pick out two dresses, and specially instructed him to take a bag of silver nude for the New Year's Festival.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped, and Wen Shu was walking home with his things in his hands, but he was stopped as soon as he entered Xiaocha Lane.

"A-Ning!"

Wen Shu turned around in surprise: "Dad, you're back!" She stepped forward a few steps forward and looked at Wentai anxiously.

Seeing that his face was haggard and he didn't look energetic, he couldn't help but worry: "What's the matter, why does Dad's face look so bad?" ”

Wen Tai waved his hand indifferently: "The old lady of the owner is not very good, and she is about to die, plus the New Year is closed, I discussed it with another master, and I rushed to two big nights, and finally finished it before noon, and I can accompany you at home tomorrow for Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"I haven't slept in two days!" Wen Shu's eyes widened, "How can this body eat!" You said that you, too, are elderly, why don't you take care of your body at all, let's go, let's go home quickly to catch up on sleep. ”

Wen Tai answered, and asked where did the things in her hand come from as she walked?

He knows very well what kind of character he is, not to mention this year's situation of such good clothes, even in previous years, she was reluctant to buy them.

"Oh, the Hou Mansion gave it, saying that it was a New Year's gift that everyone else has."

Wentai frowned: "You are not a subordinate." ”

"That's right, but I estimate that Lord Lu is eighty percent because of my poor dress, and I'm afraid of losing the face of the Hou Mansion, after all, I will accompany Miss Lu to Cangzhou after the year, or as a personal maid, I wear poorly, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Hou Mansion."

Wentai looked at her deeply and said: "You just have it in your own heart, don't be dazzled by the wealth of the Hou Mansion, women are reserved and reserved, remember, the one who is hired is the wife, and the one who runs is the concubine." ”

"What does Dad think, how can I be a concubine!" Wen Shu rolled his eyes angrily, "Don't worry, your daughter and I are ambitious, I will open a restaurant in the future to let you be the old club, and enjoy the blessings, so that you don't want to be a concubine, let alone sell yourself to be a maid, you put a hundred and twenty hearts." ”
