Chapter 143: Years Ago

is so decent, why did the eldest princess give her a dowry?

Shi Jinxiu was very puzzled.

Aunt Xu looked at her appearance and smiled: "Your Highness saw the girl yesterday, and her heart was very happy, after the girl and Lord Yuwen left yesterday, her old man opened a private warehouse to pick and choose for an afternoon, and asked me to send these things over quickly, hoping that the girl can use them when she gets married." ”

Shi Jinxiu's cheeks turned red when she heard this.

Thinking back to yesterday's performance in the Eldest Princess's Mansion was not outstanding, she even thought that she was a little childish, so that she was out of place with others.

"Miss Shi doesn't need to worry too much, she just needs to accept these things generously, so that I can go back to my life earlier." Aunt Xu comforted Shi Jinxiu.

Shi Jinxiu also knew that if she continued to shirk, she would only embarrass Aunt Xu who came to run an errand.

Therefore, she had to thank Aunt Xu, and informed Yu Wenyan of the matter a little later.

Yu Wenyan was very happy after hearing this.

"Since the eldest princess has rewarded you with these things, you will accept them happily." He smiled with Shi Jinxiu, "She is my stepmother, and she will be your mother-in-law in the future, isn't it a happy thing that she is willing to be good to you?" ”

Let the eldest princess be her mother-in-law?

Shi Jinxiu admits that he does not have such a blessing.

But since Yu Wenyan said that there was no need to be too anxious about this, she also became calm.

Because the Chen Ji Medical Hall, which is the back door of the Zhenfu Division, is on the opposite side of the alley where Shi Jinxiu lives, Yu Wenyan often visits Shi's house these days.

The people of the Shi family gradually became familiar with him, and when they got along with him, they were not as restrained as before.

Also because he lives close to the Zhenfu Division, Shi Jinxiuhua has spent more time in the incense research room, and has developed more new incense products.

Seeing the situation, Xu Li teamed up with Mrs. Ye to push a wave of new incense products a year ago, which attracted the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in the capital to rush to it again.

Just when everyone was busy for the New Year, Lin Xie sent someone to deliver a message to Shi Jinxiu, the new fleet he formed in Fuzhou had gone to sea, and if it went well, he would be able to return in two or three months.

"Going to sea at this time?" Shi Jinxiu couldn't help but muttered to Shi Nan, "Isn't it cold and uncomfortable at sea?" ”

Shi Nan listened but said to Shi Jinxiu: "You can put a hundred hearts!" The south is warmer than ours, and the wind blows from north to south this season, which is just right for them to go south to sea. ”

"Really?" Shi Jinxiu didn't understand this.

Lin Xie is the expert here.

Since Lin Xie feels that this is a good time to go to sea, it must be.

And she just had to wait for news from him.

In the month of Layue, all the shops began to settle the bill, and Xinxiang Pavilion was no exception.

Fortunately, in the past half a year, Xu Li has long been familiar with the affairs of Xinxiang Pavilion, and he doesn't have to let Shi Jinxiu ask about everything, but he still took the accounts of Xinxiang Pavilion to Shi Jinxiu: "This is what Mrs. Ye meant, she said that although you don't have time to pay attention to the things in the shop from time to time, the accounts in the shop can't be clear." ”

Xu Li's account remembers very clearly, one by one, everything is recorded, in addition to such a flow account, he also keeps a general ledger, which is clear at a glance.

In the past six months, because of Shi Jinxiu's joining, Xinxiangge's account finally has a surplus, in addition to the daily expenses and the money spent by the guys in the shop, Shi Jinxiu also got 12,000 taels of silver.

And she is not a stingy lord, so she immediately took out two thousand taels of silver tickets from the twelve thousand taels of silver tickets and gave them to Xu Li.

"You also helped me run for more than half a year, you can take this money back for the New Year!" She smiled and said to Xu Li.

"Sister, I can't take this money!" Xu Li refused without thinking about it, "I eat and drink at the house on weekdays, and you also gave me wages, I can't take this money anymore!" ”

Shi Jinxiu shook her head with him: "Don't be in a hurry to reject me first, seeing that the New Year is coming, are you embarrassed to go back empty-handed?" ”

"But that won't take so much...... Xu Li is still refusing, "This can buy a two-hundred-acre grange in our village!" ”

"Then take it back and buy a grange!" Shi Jinxiu smiled at him, "Didn't your father and mother agree to let you study back then, just to let you get ahead and lead the family to live a good life?" Now that you've been given such an opportunity, why do you want to push it out? If it weren't for studying, a kid your age would have been a good farmer in the village, right? ”

Hearing this, Xu Li was ashamed.

The last time I went back to the village, I heard the people in the village talking behind his back, saying that he had already stopped studying.

If he can really go home with such a sum of money, he can also silence those people's mouths, and he can also make his father and mother raise their eyebrows in the countryside.

"Okay, I'll take the money first!" After some careful consideration, Xu Li said to Shi Jinxiu, "When the time comes, it will be deducted from my salary!" ”

Shi Jinxiu smiled and nodded.

Twenty-five sweep the dust, twenty-six stew meat.

Because it was the first time to celebrate the New Year outside the Changxing Marquis's Mansion, the family seemed very excited.

Guozijian closed the museum, and Shi Nan did his studies at home every day.

couldn't bear Shi Yan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Shi Nan wrote ten pairs of couplets in one go, and asked Shi Yan to paste all the doors of the house with Spring Festival couplets.

Jane's, who had nothing to do, took Magnolia to cut all kinds of window flowers and decorate the courtyard with joy.

On the thirtieth day, Chen's mother prepared a large table of dishes.

Yu Wenyan was invited by Shi Jinxiu to bring two altars of rouge drunk from Emperor Qingde to the banquet, and wanted to have a drink with Shigang, who was popular with some literati.

The dark clouds who followed Yu Wenyan to Shi's house for dinner brought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, planning to be lively with everyone after the meal.

Just when the Shi family was about to happily stay together, the Marquis of Changxing's mansion suddenly sent someone to say that Mrs. Shi suddenly fainted.

This can be big or small.

Although Shi Gang moved out of the Changxing Marquis Mansion with his family, he was still a member of the Shi family, and his mother-in-law suddenly fainted, and it was impossible for him to ignore it.

So he and Jane hurriedly changed their clothes and prepared to go back to the Marquis of Changxing's mansion.

Shi Jinxiu saw it and said, "I'll go with you two!" In case something happens, one more person might as well come up with an idea together. ”

The husband and wife thought about it for more than half a year, and Shi Jinxiu was making up her mind about the big and small affairs in the family, so they nodded.

"Lord Yubun...... I'm really embarrassed......" Thinking of Yu Wenyan, who was still at home, Shi Gang stepped forward and said, "Why don't we ...... another day"

Unexpectedly, before Shi Gang's words were finished, Yu Wenyan said: "I will also go with you, seeing that there is going to be a curfew, it is more convenient to have me with you." ”
