Approaching the end of the year, the rumors outside about the orphan daughter of the Zhuo family setting up her own door to recruit a son-in-law became more and more fierce.

When Master Zhuo was alive, he was kind and charitable, and he was very good to his subordinates and embroidery girls, and he was famous in Jianglin County.

When something happened to the Zhuo family that year, some people sighed, and some people secretly wept.

At this time, I heard that the orphan daughter of the Zhuo family wanted to set up her own door to continue the family business, everyone was supportive and excited, and many sons and brothers who had no family property inheritance were still thinking of getting rich, and wanted to Bo Yibo and share the weal and woe with the daughter of the Zhuo family.

Ah Xiu rarely went out after entering the He family under the fence, but it was enough just a few times a year, and the name of the Zhuo family's female appearance was known all over the city.

Taking advantage of the limelight outside, Ah Xiu wanted to go out to build a mansion after the New Year.

Over the years, he has taken the embroidery workshop from the He family, added stitches, cultivated embroidery girls, and kept innovating patterns, and the He family also gave her some silver money for the sake of her reputation abroad.

I thought that it was for her family, and I bought some things in private, and then I didn't keep them and bring them into my "husband's house" in the future, but I never thought that it would become Ah Xiu's capital now.

*****

After listening to Ah Xiu's plan again, Mao sipped tea gently, raised his head and smiled: "After eight or nine years, you have grown up." ”

What does this mean?

I want to say that her wings are hard!

Ah Xiu lowered her eyes and said gratefully: "Thanks to my aunt's acceptance and teaching, Yao Yao is unforgettable. ”

"Silly boy, what a matter of doing this. Think about it, your father and mother also helped us at the beginning. It's all a family that doesn't talk to two families, and when you go out to build a house, you can go if you really think about it. It's just that the people outside are sinister, and if you go out of the gate of Hefu, we will be difficult to protect you, and if there are any difficulties in the future, remember to send someone to inform you. ”

Mao Shi held Ah Xiu's hand and pulled her to him, with a reluctant look on his face, and sighed after speaking.

Ah Xiu was very disgusted when she heard this, and goosebumps were already on her arms.

She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "What is the home in this Linjiang City, who can bully me." ”

"That's right."

Mao clapped her hand and let go, "Since you want to build a mansion, what other plans and arrangements do you have?" It's better to send my mother Fu to help you take care of it. ”

"Auntie has a heart, but this is not necessary."

Ah Xiu hurriedly excused herself and said, "Mother Fu is the most useful person around you, how can I be so tired." Moreover, Du's mother and Du Juan have been following Yao Yao for many years, and they can take care of such trivial things as the inner house, and they also ask their aunt to be relieved. ”

Ah Xiu squatted down, Mao quickly helped her up, looked at the girl in the prime of life in front of her, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I won't persuade her much." ”

"Aunt Xie."

Ah Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Mao smiled and mentioned, "Although you have already gone out to build a mansion, it stands to reason that the dowry that you said should be taken out by you, but after all, you are still a fifteen or sixteen child, and now this line of work is not necessarily too peaceful, so my aunt will take it in her hand first, and then hand it over to you to take care of by yourself when you recruit a son-in-law." ”

When the Zhuo family had an accident, the He family was not ranked in Linjiang City, so naturally they did not have the ability to collect half of the embroidery workshop.

The money needed to buy the embroidery workshop was all lent out at no interest rate in the name of the orphans of the Zhuo family.

At the beginning, the Zhuo family was kind and popular, and those people gave the He family a face with affection.

Of course, the He family also said that the embroidery room that was collected back would take out at least half of it as the dowry of Ah Xiu, and would not charge a penny.

When she was a child, Ah Xiu was extremely moved when she heard this, and at this time, she only felt funny.

If the person in front of him was really willing to take half of the embroidery workshop to make a dowry for himself, he would not have rejected the Xie family's relatives before.

"It's all up to my aunt."

Ah Xiu doesn't want to be in a hurry, it's rare to be able to go out.

Back at the Pearl Courtyard, the three masters and servants were so excited that they wiped their tears, and then discussed the preparations needed to open the mansion.

Du Juan mentioned that if she didn't take away the subordinates arranged by the He family, they were all the eyeballs of the He family, and it was undoubtedly all trouble.

Ah Xiu knew about this matter, but she didn't need a reason, she had to think about it.

The three of them talked energetically, and after a while, there was a maid outside to report, and the second son came over.

He Wenyun came here, and it seemed that he knew that he was allowed to leave the house.

Ah Xiu straightened the hem of his clothes, and before he went out, He Wenyun had already pulled the curtain and came in.

His brows were furrowed, and he knew at a glance that he was in a very bad mood.

"Cousin."

Ah Xiu saluted him, He Wenyun nodded, waved his hand to Du Juan and Du's mother, and said, "Go out." ”

The two hesitated, and when they saw Ah Xiu nodding, they withdrew in order.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

Ah Xiu poured tea for him with her own hands, He Wenyun didn't drink it, looked at her in a daze and said, "You have already thought about leaving the house?" ”

Ah Xiu nodded.

The green tendons on He Wenyun's forehead burst out, and he endured it for a while before saying, "I said that I would marry you as the wife of the second house, why do you still insist on building your own mansion?" ”

Ah Xiu lowered her eyes, "Cousin, I am the daughter of the Zhuo family, so I naturally have to respect the ancestral teachings." ”

Her expression was resolute and cold, He Wenyun clenched her fists, glanced at the half-human-tall jade neck emerald bottle beside her, resisted the urge to push it down in her heart, threw her sleeves and strode away.

Ah Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him leaving, stroked her forehead, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

He Wenyun is tyrannical, she has also heard of it a little, and she is still afraid of the confrontation just now, but fortunately, those words are clear, if you want to marry her, no matter who you are, you have to get into trouble, it is obvious that He Jiaerlang is impossible.

Soon, Du Juan and Du's mother came in through the curtain, and both of them looked at her worriedly, obviously they both knew what kind of person He Wenyun was.

After the matter of leaving the house was discussed, Ah Xiu sent Du Juan out the next day to inquire about the house.

The house doesn't have to be big, it's good to enter two into three, she now has limited money in her hand, and on this ground, she also proposed to Mao to bring less maids and wives over, she can't support so many people in a small household, and she can't live.

Mao didn't say anything, and agreed on the spot.

Ah Xiu was surprised, and felt that this person suddenly became easy to speak.

This feeling did not make her happy, but a little uneasy.

A few days after the New Year's Close, Ah Xiu went out of the door and decided the affairs of the house, and then she closed the door, and the layout and arrangement of the new house were handed over to Du Juan to take care of outside.

Seeing that the He family accepted the fact that she went out, He Zeng thought that Du Juan would come back after she went out that morning.

When Ah Xiu saw her again, it was the scarred corpse without clothes.

There was a murder in the new house that I had just bought, and three beggars sneaked in, raped people to death in broad daylight, and when the steward and the little servant who were out of the house returned, everyone died.

With heavy snow and wind, and a courtyard full of silver, Ah Xiu looked at the white cloth wrapped in blood and sludge, the face of terror and despair, took half a step back, and when his vision became blurred, the whole person fell down without a center of gravity.
