Chapter 163: Pinch out that thought
There are so many temptations, and I will be with Aunt Xu, Min Jia nodded with tears.
Liu's mother didn't agree, frowned and said, "My sister hasn't been on the street yet, and the food on the street is ......pickled."
Xu Lanyin didn't want to talk to Liu's mother more, so she said, "Send someone to ask Steward Hao." She thought that Steward Hao should agree. Moreover, letting the little girl have more contact with things and people is also conducive to freeing her from the past.
After more than half an hour, the little girl ran back to report, and Steward Hao agreed, asking her to bring a few more people to serve, and then bring an extra set of things that my sister usually uses.
After being busy for a while, Xu Lanyin took Min Jia by the hand, followed by six mothers-in-law and girls, and went to the front yard together. Zhao Wu, Steward Hao, and several nursing homes were already waiting there. Zhao Wu's face was as usual, but Steward Hao's face was not very good.
Steward Hao saw that Xu Lanyin had some liver pain again.
Before dawn today, he rushed to the outer study, sent the other subordinates down, and said to the Min Hu who was having breakfast, "Uncle, what do you think of Miss Xu?" ”
With a pleasant smile on his face, Minhu said, "Very good, intelligent, capable, kind-hearted, and very understanding." If she encounters something difficult, Uncle Hao will do his best to help. ”
Steward Hao was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "The old lady and the old man are heartbroken by your illness and your sister's illness, if you can keep Miss Xu in the mansion for a long time......
Min Hu said, "I have asked Miss Xu to be my personal doctor and female master for a long time, she can not only help me in private matters, but also in special official affairs." He also instructed, "Don't spread the word about her help in official business, and when you need this in the future, you must arrange all her affairs so that she can live and eat well." ”
Steward Hao is smart in everything, but the master who is not smart in matters has to say more clearly, "Uncle, what the old slave means is that if you leave Miss Xu in the house for a long time, you don't need to invite her, she can always be used by you." ”
Min Hu's face sank a little and asked, "What does Uncle Hao mean......"
Steward Hao said again, "The eldest lady has been meddling in the uncle's marriage, saying kisses to you everywhere, and stuffing women for you again and again. Although the uncle refused, the old lady and the old man were still not happy with you because of the heir. Miss Xu's family is low, and the old lady will not agree to her being your wife. It's better to accept her as a concubine, not only can I help you and my sister all the time, but also extend the ...... for you."
Before Steward Hao's words could speak, Min Hu's face sank, slammed the bowl in his hand on the table, and shouted in a low voice, "Enough!" Because of her kindness, Miss Xu took the initiative to help me, and then took the initiative to help Jia'er. She is kind to our father and daughter, how can I let her be a concubine, this is harming her, and it is kindness that will take revenge. ”
He got up and walked out the door. When he arrived at the threshold, he turned back and said, "How can a woman like Miss Xu be willing to be a concubine, that is blasphemy against her." Pinch off that thought of yours, and don't let her see it, or I'll push her away. ”
After saying that, he went straight to the office.
Steward Hao was the long-term follower of Minhu when he was a child, and he has always been respected by Minhu, and today is the first time that he has no face like this. Steward Hao's face was red and white for a while, he really couldn't figure it out, not to mention that the girl in Shangshu's Mansion wanted to be the uncle's room with only two points of beauty, even many official daughters also wanted to be concubines for the uncle. came up with this idea by herself, thinking that it would not only relieve the master's predicament, but also give Miss Xu a good way out, but the master thought that it had harmed her......
Seeing that Xu Lan came with the little lady, Steward Hao noticed that this peasant girl was so beautiful, and her bearing was not weaker than that of the noble girl in the capital, and she even had a different style that the noble girl did not have. I only thought that she belonged to a beautiful peasant girl before, but I didn't notice that she still had such a demeanor. The uncle doesn't want her to be his own woman, and he doesn't want to push her away, so he still regards her as the female master and female doctor that the uncle values......
Steward Hao suppressed his frustration and invited Xu Lanyin and Min Jia to get into the first carriage.
A group of carriages and horses swept out of the gate of Fujian.
The carriage and horse entered the bustling street, and the shouting and shouting made Min Jia very strange, and he opened a little curtain and looked out.
Mother Liu wanted to stop her, but Xu Lanyin shook her head slightly.
Xu Lanyin also bought candy people and fried chestnuts for the little girl.
Chestnuts didn't dare to let her eat more, and only fed her two.
They first went to Qingqu Street to see the leather shops in Minfu, which was one of the largest shops on the street. Daiwa powder walls, vermilion carved doors and windows, extremely magnificent and luxurious. The backyard is also big enough, the inverted seat is divided into two buildings with a total of eight rooms, as well as the east and west wings, and there are two leafy trees and flowers in the yard, there are rockeries, as well as wells and two screen doors.
With such a large shop of three thousand taels of silver, if Xu Lan had money, she would definitely buy it immediately, but unfortunately she didn't have it.
After that, I went to the shop that Hu Wan bought and took a look, the shop was as big as the Min family's shop, but it was older, and it was under construction next to it. I actually ran into Hu Wan, who was here to supervise the work.
Hu Wan also saw them, and very enthusiastically ran to invite them to eat at the restaurant next door.
Xu Lanyin knew that he wanted to have a relationship with Steward Hao, so he agreed. Steward Hao saw that Xu Lan was willing, so he did not object.
Hu Wan said that the deed has been completed, and he will give it to her when Xu Lanyin goes to Hu's house tomorrow.
Say goodbye to Hu Wan after dinner. They went to the embroidery workshop first, bought a few beautiful handkerchiefs for the little girl as bedding for the kitten and duckling, and bought her a few small purses and small sachets, which were the silver that Xu Lanyin paid.
After that, I visited two teahouses. A teahouse invited to sing music and storytelling, a teahouse is mainly chess and cards, there are Go rooms, chess rooms, and card rooms, and the card room is playing leaf cards, some like mahjong cards in the previous life.
Business is very good, and there are rooms specially prepared for women.
Time was tight, so I looked around, didn't drink tea, and only bought some refreshments for the little girl.
Two teahouses are on two streets, and the sky is full of color when I return to Fujian. Min Hu also went down, and he was very happy to see his daughter having fun.
Everyone ate in the outer study, Min Hu and Zhao Wu had a table, and Xu Lanyin and Min Jia had a table.
Min Hu whispered to Zhao Wu that he would return to Beijing in a few days if he had official business. Zhao Wule was so depressed that he thought that he would write a letter in the evening and ask Master Min to bring it to his eldest brother. Tell him that he is still alive, and his eldest brother's "leg disease" is also expected to be cured......
Min Hu seemed to say unintentionally that he had just received a letter from Min Shangshu, and that the general judgment of the Ningzhou Mansion had been approved by the Ministry of Officials, and someone had already recommended Min Can. If nothing else, Min Can will take up the position of this positive six products before the end of the year.
