Chapter 33: The Seal

Min Nan was very interested, and shouted again, so Min Shan asked the three girls to accompany her.

Mrs. Min looked at the colorful chessboard and smiled, "There is also this kind of chess, but this is the first time I have seen it." Is it a new trick in the capital? ”

Min Shan said that the bird chess was come up by a pair of sisters and brothers in the countryside, and this is the first pair.

Mrs. Min was surprised, "Country children still have this ability?" ”

Min Bin also said that Xu Lanyin's method of improving the chess pieces, "The master is in the people." Although the two sisters and brothers were dressed in shabby, they were clean and tidy, articulate, and intelligent at first glance. ”

Mrs. Min nodded, pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "The old lady of Shangshu Mansion will be sixty years old on the second day of the winter month this year, and he will do a big job." The winter moon is cold, and the little lady and the children can't enjoy the flowers and rowing, and it is very boring to be stuffy in the house. Make a few more pairs of this chess to send to the capital Minfu, the guests like it novelly, and it can make the Minfu as a new chess type, which is a showmanship. However, this must not be known to others beforehand. ”

Min Can is a relative of the Shangshu Minlou of the Criminal Department of the capital, and he is already far away. Min Can was lifted, although he didn't get into the Jinshi twice, but he was active, and he would drill the camp, and he took the main branch as a family member Min Shangshu and his mother knotted well, and he was sent to Nanping County as a county magistrate. Some are good, and there is hope for another rise.

Listening to Mrs. Min's words, Min Shan's eyes also appeared with a fine light.

Min Shan smiled, "It's still thoughtful." This limelight makes the capital Min Mansion go out, and the old lady and Mrs. Min will be happy. Since they launched it, we won't do this business for the time being. The chess we sent should be made more delicate and beautiful. I personally guarded people to play chess, and then personally sent them to the capital. He added, "Fortunately, I left a few people from the Xu family to eat in the house, so people can spread the word, they don't want to do this kind of chess, and they can't say it." The five taels of silver I gave before were less, so let's add ten taels. ”

Min Nan also listened to it, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "I like this chess very much, and I will also reward five taels of silver." Tell them that if they have fun in the future, they will come to me directly. ”

In the guest room, Aunt Feng and the three members of the Xu family had already finished eating, and they all walked to the door, and Steward Tang led a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl over in a hurry. The little girl ran in a hurry, and a few beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and she was slightly panting.

She also knew Aunt Feng, and said with a smile, "It's good that we caught up." ”

Aunt Feng smiled flatteringly, "Miss Hongluo, why is it so urgent?" ”

Hong Luo smiled, "Uncle and eldest girl asked me to pass on a message." ”

Steward Tang also smiled, "That chess is not only in the eyes of my eldest girl, but also in my wife." ”

Hong Luo nodded, and smiled at Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanzhou, "My eldest girl played a few games of chess with her uncle, and she liked it very much, and said that it was difficult for you to have such a fun thing to think of her, so I asked me to reward you with five taels of silver, and said that if there is any fun in the future, you can come directly to my eldest girl." Our lady was glad to see the girl, and she was glad too, and gave you a piece of muslin. Also, my uncle rewarded you with ten taels of silver, saying that you should not do that kind of chess again, and you should not disclose it to others. ”

Steward Tang also repeatedly instructed several people that this matter should be kept secret and never be revealed, otherwise he would not agree.

Several people understood that the silver was hush money, so they hurriedly agreed and thanked them.

got so much more silver, which made Xu Lanzhou and Xu Dashi very happy, they felt that even if they made chess and sold it in the shop, they couldn't earn so much.

Xu Lanyin secretly said that flying bird chess is simple and easy to do, and they can't make much money, they seal so much silver, and what they want to "buy" must be their own "invention". This is the power and ants of feudal society, who seek to steal their own things and keep their mouths shut.

However, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain to meet Miss Min directly in the future.

But if they don't talk about it, who knows that they have something to do with the county master?

Thinking of this, Xu Lanyin smiled embarrassedly, "Don't hide it from the big housekeeper, my father has passed away, and the orphans and widows in the family will always be bullied......"

Steward Tang understood, it turned out that the orphan and widow wanted to find a backer. He said, why did he come to offer chess for no reason, it turned out that he wanted to use the chess offering to his own lady and set up a relationship with the county master.

I also thought that they were countrymen, and they were countrymen who could bully them, and they could do it themselves. He said, "That's easy." You said that you sold a pot of rare orchids to my young lady. If anyone dares to bully you, I have no objection to you using my name to scare and scare people. He lowered his face and said, "However, you are not allowed to bully people in my name, let alone use the name of my family." ”

Xu Lanzhou hurriedly bowed down and said, "Butler Xie Tang." We are good citizens, and we dare not damage your reputation, let alone the reputation of the Great Master of the Blue Sky. ”

Aunt Feng also hurriedly testified, "They are my daughter-in-law's relatives in the countryside, and they are honest, and this little one can testify." ”

Steward Tang nodded in satisfaction.

Hong Luo handed the silver and muslin to Xu Lanyin, Xu Lanyin reached out and took it, and the silver was put into his arms.

Xu Lanzhou saw that the little girl handed the things to Xu Lanyin, and saw that Xu Lanyin did not give herself but put it in her arms, anxious and helpless. Thinking that she must be watched, don't let her suddenly make a fool and take the silver to the Gu family.

Aunt Feng sent them to the street corner, and his attitude was much more enthusiastic.

Xu Lanyin finally became a shopaholic, bought two catties of meat, a piece of tofu, five catties of brown rice, five catties of white noodles, a handful of vermicelli, a packet of starch sugar, a small jar of tooth powder, and bought a can of soybean oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar and other seasonings, as well as a small jar of wine. In addition, I also went to the embroidery workshop to buy a few small pieces of silk that were left over from the sale, and since Miss Min said that there was something interesting to look for her directly, she made a few dolls for the little girl in her past life.

The family earns so much money and will definitely not be able to hide it from the big house, and today I not only have to treat guests, but also invite them with great fanfare. Of course, it can't be said that the chess was sent, but that the flowers were sold. It is also said that not only Miss Min likes it, but Mrs. Min and Master Min also like it, and they are rewarded with silver and fabric.

In this way, he not only talked about the relationship with the daughter of the county master, but also did not say anything about flying birds.

Xu Lanyin told Xu Dashi these words, and said, "The matter of sending chess is only known to a few of us, and it can't be spread outside." ”

Xu Dashi nodded, he didn't dare not listen to the orders of the county lord's son. There are several people in the family, and the most unreliable mouth is his mother, in case he gets into trouble if he says it.

Xu Lanyin also said that he would give Xu Dashi a tael of silver when he went back, thanking him for his help.

Xu Dashi hurriedly said, "The good days in my family are all given by the second uncle, we should help you if you are in trouble, why are you embarrassed to ask for your money again." Don't spend that silver indiscriminately, buy land, and treat the second aunt and the younger brother. ”
