The days are on the fifth day of the fifth month of May in a blink of an eye, and the married women will choose to take their children back to their parents' homes on this day to "hide at noon", and the eldest lady and the third wife of the Changxing Marquis Mansion are naturally no exception.

There is only Jane's, because her mother's family is not in the capital, she can only stay in the Changxing Marquis Mansion.

At Shi Jinxiu's insistence, Jane's did not take on the embroidery work anymore, but raised the fetus wholeheartedly at home.

The reopening of Xinxiang Pavilion and Xixiangtang more than half a month ago made many people notice Shi Jinxiu, so she no longer hid it from her family and told them that she was helping Xinxiang Pavilion research and make incense.

Shi Gang, who has traveled south and north for many years, is very supportive of this, he thinks that girls have a skill and can be regarded as having a foundation for a life, but Jane is very worried, after all, the girl's family is too showy, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find her in-law in the future.

"You can rest assured of this!" Shi Gang persuaded her, "Our daughter has this craft, which is equivalent to having a chicken that can only lay golden eggs, but I am afraid that in the future, there will be many people who come to the door to ask for marriage, which will give you a headache." ”

Jane, who was dressing up, glanced at Shi Gang: "Did the person who was the father say this?" ”

Shi Gang nestled in his gums and giggled.

Because there are not many people who have deep friendships with them in the capital, such as Zheng Guogong's Mansion and Mrs. Ye, Shi Jinxiu asked someone to send the festival gift over early in the morning, and as for other people, Zhang Luo, who is the eldest aunt of Mrs. Changxinghou, is not her turn to intervene.

Shi Jinxiu, who is rare and idle, took his younger brothers and sisters to weave five-color silk threads and wrap zongzi in the yard with Chen's mother.

Shi Nan and Xu Li chatted while wrapping zongzi: "So, our five poisonous incense sells very well?" ”

"That's right!" Xu Li said with Shi Nan with honor, "These days, the incense making workshop is working day and night, and the spices alone have been sent several times by Liu Ji Xiangpu. ”

Since deciding to stay, Xu Li made a special trip back and made his plans for the future clear with his family.

His parents are honest farmers who dig food from the field, and when they decided to send Xu Li to the school, they were ridiculed by the people of Xujia Village, saying that they only knew a few words in Yixue and wanted to eat swan meat.

Now that the child has his own plans, and they can't help, they can only let him flutter, but there is only one way: he must not lose the face of the old Xu family.

After returning from Xujia Village, Xu Li lived in Shi's house with peace of mind, helping Shi Jinxiu run the things in the shop during the day, and calming down at night to study well.

Shi Nan has now entered the Guozijian to listen to the class, although he is only an auditor, it does not affect his desire to learn at all.

Because he came by order, no one in the entire country from top to bottom dared to bully him, and he didn't like to make trouble, but he was also in harmony with others.

"It's a pity that we have too few sachets ready, and many people can only retreat to buy incense balls." Xu Li said to Shi Nan with some pity, "Next time, we have to go to the embroidery workshop to order a batch of sachets, so that our incense can sell better!" ”

"Hey, that's a good idea!" Shi Jinxiu, who was sitting next to the two of them, had been listening, "There is a begging festival next, and there is a Mid-Autumn Festival, if we can prepare early, we may be able to sell better than this time!" ”

Since the right money shopkeeper was arrested by the people of the government, although a new shopkeeper came to the top temporarily, but in the end it was not as good as the money shopkeeper, and the guys below did not obey him, and the entire Xixiangtang fell into chaos.

In this way, it will be more beneficial to Xinxiang Pavilion.

"How about I belong to me for the research incense, and you for the rest to do?" Seeing that Xu Li was already gearing up, Shi Jinxiu smiled with him.

"Okay! That's it! Xu Li nodded as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Shi Yan, who was still weaving five-color silk threads just now, heard this, and also leaned her head over: "What are you going to do?" I'll be counted as one! ”

"What kind of excitement are children all about? With you, how else does Xu Li work? Shi Nan joked about Shi Yan.

didn't think about it, but Shi Yan was full of unconvinced: "You don't look down on people!" Aren't you two years older than me? What kind of adult in front of me? ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing, Shi Jinxiu hurriedly said: "It's not impossible for Sister Yan to want to help, but you have to listen to Xu Li's words, and you are not allowed to make up your own mind!" ”

When Shi Yan heard this, there was nothing to be dissatisfied with, and her head was like pounding garlic.

Shi Gang and Jane watched all this in the room, and they were very relieved, and it was the most desirable thing for parents to see that children could love each other.

After dinner, Shi Yan wanted to go to watch the dragon boat race.

Jane didn't want to go out because of the heavy month, so Shi Jinxiu took the initiative to stay with her, and Shi Gang took Shi Nan, Shi Yan and Xu Li out of the door.

Because Jane had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, after she fell asleep, Shi Jinxiu withdrew from the main house and prepared to go back to her east wing.

"Girl, the third lady is here." The cuckoo trotted all the way over.

Three aunts? At this time?

Shi Jinxiu looked up at the sky, and the bright sun was very dazzling.

Every year in May, the sun gradually becomes scorching, and those who usually go back to their parents' house to hide in the afternoon will have dinner and wait for some heat to cool off before returning home.

Unexpectedly, the third aunt returned to the house at this time, and also came to their Lixiang Courtyard.

"Please go to my east wing and sit down." Thinking that her mother had just fallen asleep, Shi Jinxiu, who didn't want to disturb her, said to Du Juan.

The cuckoo nodded and hurried away.

Shi Jinxiu guessed the intention of the third aunt.

Their fourth room has always been at odds with the third room, and since Cai Xiang'er fell into the water last time, the relationship between the two heads of the house has been even worse.

I am afraid that the third aunt can come over at this time, I am afraid it is still Dong Pingbo's business.

You must know that the Wang family, who was the main envoy to change the examination papers, has been dismissed and exiled, but the matter of Dong Pingbo being accused by the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of "obstructing the imperial court from taking scholars" has still been unresolved.

It's just that she doesn't know what the people in the fourth room can help with in this matter? actually asked the third aunt to find him.

The Lu family, who was taken to the east wing by the cuckoo, was very dissatisfied.

She obviously came to the fourth room to find Jane's, but she was taken to Shi Jinxiu's room, what does it mean?

But when she thought that she was here to beg for help today, she couldn't let out a fire in her heart.

If this man is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth with cold water.

She happily took the child back to Dongpingbo's mansion to hide in the afternoon today, but who knew that her father Dongpingbo asked her to take out 50,000 taels of silver to come out for emergency.

It turned out that Emperor Qingde finally released his words after delaying for so many days: if Dong Pingbo was willing to confiscate some money to fill the treasury as a punishment, he would no longer investigate deeply.

From the very beginning, the Lu family knew that Dong Pingbo had been calculated, and now they were happy to be able to break the fortune and avoid disasters.

What's more, it's not like they can't afford to pay for it.
