Thought

Shen's question was straightforward, even the lotus leaf lowered his head and blushed, and only spoke after a while, "Whoever the wives refer to is whoever they are, where can they ask like this?" ”

Shen smiled, "Yes, your eldest girl is shy and refuses to say, but if you point it at will, you won't like it in the future, don't you want to blame me?" ”

"Originally, I should have called your family to tell you what I said, and then I asked them to tell me."

"But I thought, you two grew up in front of my eyes, and if I marry you, it's not bad like marrying half a daughter, so why let you toss this trip, it seems to be a raw part."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me generously!"

Lotus Leaf Lotus Branch heard Shen say this, and it was not easy to be ashamed anymore, but Lotus Leaf was more generous than Lotus Leaf, she said first, "The slave maid is the son of Liu Zhuangtou, who is in charge of the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing." ”

"Slave maid...... The slave maid also inquired carefully about the slave maid outside, saying that it was very down-to-earth and admitted, and it was close to the slave maid's house, and the slave maid could take care of it if she was idle. ”

"Steward Liu's son......" Shen thought about it, she wanted to let the two maids out, and no one hid it, they had the heart to ask the family to inquire, which was more secure, "I remember that they didn't like to talk much, but Steward Liu's family are honest people, and they are really good." ”

"That Zhuangzi has a lot of money, a lot of things, and enough people, you won't have a bad time if you go."

Shen answered one and asked another, "What about the lotus branch?" ”

The lotus leaves have been said, and the lotus branch is embarrassed to twist again, "The slave maid's family came to deliver the message two days ago, saying that the wife's thoughts, they penetrated through the outside, and someone came to the door, and they picked and picked, saying that the Song shopkeeper in Yuqian Hutong was the best." ”

"The family is passable, and people are also clever and can do things."

"There is no mother-in-law at home, only a younger sister, and she has a good temperament."

Shen nodded, "I remember their brothers and sisters, they are all very good, the accounts are really done, and they don't look like a tricky person, besides, without a mother-in-law, you will be looser in marrying." ”

Ask the thoughts of the two maids, and what Shen expected is not bad, Shen himself is also relieved, "These days, you don't have to do anything else, just embroider the dowry in your own house, and when the New Year is out, I will send you home and marry at home with peace of mind." ”

Saying that, Shen himself smiled and said, "When we meet again, you will also be called aunt and sister-in-law by the little maid!" ”

Here, Shen and the two maids were talking privately without mentioning it, and An Qi had just settled the accounts, so he put down his abacus and rested, and was also talking to the maid in private, "These eyes are very sour." ”

Red Sleeves hurriedly brought in a bowl of Qingxin lotus seed tea, "Girl, go and see the fish, it's more comfortable than closing your eyes like this!" ”

An Qi agreed, stood up and went to the fish pot with lotus flowers and beads, and went to see a few small red goldfish raised by Su Ri, "I'll take a hot handkerchief in a while, and I'll cover my eyes." ”

"Yes." Red sleeves go out and don't mention the hot veil.

Green Yi did things carefully, and inevitably slower than others, and the last booklet was finished, so he came to watch the fish with An Qi.

"In winter, these fish are lazy and don't like to swim!" An Qi teased the fish food for a while, and then put it down.

"But what!" Green Yi smiled, "The girl is tired? Anyway, we're done today, and we can rest until the New Year. ”

"I can't rest......" An Qi took the hot handkerchief handed by the red sleeves and covered it himself, "The account outside is cleared, and the things prepared by our family for the next year have to be checked again." ”

"That's not good...... It's my last year at home......"

The two maids all knew the news that Shen handed over after returning to her parents' house, "That's right, the girl should also be comfortable for the New Year, which girl can have you so tired?" ”

"Slave maid look, the girl is stricter than usual this year."

"I can't ...... it either" The handkerchief stopped being hot, An Qi took it off his eyes, and his dry eyes just now were a lot more comfortable.

"I'll be sixteen after the New Year, anyway, I can't stay at home until seventeen, and when I go, it's full of money, who else is in the big house?"

"Naturally, there is a second aunt in the house, she is fair and has a passable temperament, I am not worried about the property in the house, and the second aunt lacks anything for the big house."

"But what about our own things? If I don't knock it, I don't know how much I will get. ”

"Sister Chi...... Born there, you can't manage the affairs of the big house, mother...... Alas, don't mention her. ”

"No one can use this big house...... I can only tighten the strings for them now, but after all, I won't last a few years, and my grandmother is getting older. ”

"Can you still manage the big house? I can trust the second aunt, but I only entrust her with this kind of taste, and I can't open my mouth. ”

"It's a pity that Brother Bin is only eleven now, but if he is a few years older, I can show him a capable daughter-in-law."

"That's it......" An Qi smiled bitterly, "If I want it to come true, if I leave like this, Dafang doesn't know how chaotic it will be......"

"It's better not to make your wishes come true, stay in Beijing, and take care of your mother's family for a while."

The red-sleeved and green-clothed clothes all grew up with An Qi, and when they heard An Qi's discouraged words, they hurriedly comforted, "The girl can't think like this, if the girl really has a creation, then the fourth young master and the seventh young master are afraid that they won't be able to find a virtuous and capable grandmother?" ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of my mother's family?"

"Besides, our own wife may not be able to take care of everything......

An Qi didn't answer, and smiled for a while, "That's how I said it casually...... You two are in such a hurry to persuade me? ”

"What is Mother like...... I know in my heart that it is difficult to count on her, and you are not unaware of what you did in the past. ”

"I called her housekeeper before, and I almost coaxed the ancestral business of the An family to her sister-in-law!"

"Where can I ask my grandmother to let my mother take care of the house, my grandmother didn't say it at the time, it was to save face for the big house, but we also have to be interesting!"

Green Yi hesitated for a while, and was seen by An Qi, before pursing her lips and speaking, "Girl, why don't you hand over the big house to the second wife?" ”

"Naturally, it's not easy to speak, but seeing that the sixth girl is also going out, but after a few years, the girl will allow the second wife to add makeup to the big house at will, and the second wife is not a person who blindly sees money, and she will not pass."

"Even if you pick some away, you won't ignore the brothers and sisters of these big houses, besides, those things, instead of cheapening outsiders, it is better to cheapen six girls, and it's a big deal to add nine girls, but you can exchange for a big house, and it won't be messy."

"What about us...... It's not in vain to ask for a second wife in the past few years. ”

"And again...... The fifth girl is still older than the sixth girl, and it is just a matter of one after the other, so the girl might as well divide the things given to the fifth girl now and teach her to take care of herself. ”

"First, it saves trouble for the second wife, and second, the fifth girl will go out in the future, and the dowry is more or less, and it is my own ability, and I can't blame you."

"Do it...... It is not in accordance with the rules to bypass the eldest lady, but our house is already special, and we are not afraid of anything if we cover it up a little. ”
