For two days in a row, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family had eaten several closed doors, and the door of the Lin family was even closer, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knocked on it, but there was no maid ring or mother-in-law to open the door.

At first, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that no one was at home, but after connecting several times, they understood that it was not welcome to dare to love people.

The more Liu Fangshi thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he couldn't eat a mouthful of food with his appetite. In desperation, he had to return to the capital with resentment.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family had just arrived in the capital on the front foot, but the news of being eaten behind closed doors had reached Sun Xiaoyun's ears.

"Useless waste."

Mrs. Tang didn't expect the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family to be so overwhelmed, but she seemed to be displeased, and she was full of anger on the head of the mother-in-law who came to deliver the letter: "What kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is, it must be your mother-in-law who is not good for ......."

Lai Pozi didn't follow, for fear that she would deliberately want to find a reason to get rid of the twenty taels of silver she had promised. hurriedly said: "Mother Tang, look at what you said, you only said that I should stare at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and if there is any trouble, I will immediately tell you, how can it be unfavorable again?!" You empty mouth and white teeth, don't put on my head, if you don't want to be paid, you can say it. ”

Tang Pozi also wanted to take the opportunity to send people away, so that the twenty taels of silver could be inked, but she didn't expect to be exposed in person, and she couldn't help but blush, as if she had been slapped in a big mouth. If this thing gets out, it will only seem that she treats others meanly, and the little woman is despicable, who will dare to listen to orders in the future!

Annoyed and angry: "What's the noise, don't look at the place." You didn't do your errand, so why can't you let people say a second word? Before I went, how did I tell you to find the right time to fan the flames, but you are useless at all, and now you are still talking nonsense and wanting to ask for money?! ”

"Why is it useless? Didn't I just come back and find an excuse to run over to report the news? Besides, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family have not entered the door of the Lin family, I am a slave, is it possible to have a big face and make the Lin family welcome each other? ! ”

The quarrel between the subordinates did not affect Sun Xiaoyun at all, but watched a play, eating porridge unhurriedly with a silver spoon, while listening to the dispute between the two of them.

She was eating millet porridge, and suddenly absentmindedly thought about Lai's mother-in-law's words.

"Okay, they're all the ones who are in charge of their mothers, and they are arguing over this little thing, and they let the girls in the courtyard laugh at them for nothing."

The master spoke, and Mrs. Tang responded, but Mrs. Lai had a grievance on her face, and she argued: "What Mrs. Xiao said is that this errand was not done well, and it really can't be relied on on the slave maid." I have never seen such a stupid woman, who came to discuss marriage, and even wanted to compare the pomp and circumstance of the princess's marriage, and opened her mouth to mention a dowry of one hundred and eight lifts. ”

Even Sun Xiaoyun gasped and sneered: "The Sun family is one of the richest in Jiangnan, when I got married, even if I had the support of my eldest sister, the family only dared to prepare eighty-eight lifts, for fear of going out of line and committing a taboo." ”

"Who said that it was not a mile, even the county lord or the county lord in the capital was afraid of the system when he got married, and he simply reduced and reduced, either one hundred and eight lifts, or ninety-eight lifts. He, the Liu family, is bold, relying on General Liu to be a new upstart in the DPRK and China, and dare to openly suppress it! ”

Lai Pozi was shocked when she heard this, if the master's family suffered, the subordinates would also be unlucky, so she followed such a master who was not in tune, and it was only a matter of time before she was unlucky, and she was even more anxious to scrape together enough money to redeem herself and get out of such a family as soon as possible.

Hurriedly said: "The slave and maid look at the master of the Lin family, who is not so obedient and at the mercy of others, how can he really listen to the words of the Liu family and be willing to prepare a dowry of one hundred and eight lifts, even if the master of the Lin family feels sorry for his own girl, is there no worry in his heart?" Back then, the Lin and Liu families had trouble because of this family affair, although the son of the Liu family is now a general, he is also a person who has been married, although he is separated, but he still has an eldest son, if the eldest son returns to the Liu family in the future, so much dowry will not know who will crawl out of the belly in the future. ”

"Huh?" Tang Pozi couldn't help but be taken aback, "How can the eldest son still be alive?" Didn't you say that you had to die of illness outside? ”

Lai Pozi straightened up now, for fear that people would look at people in the cracks of the door, and she looked at herself, her eyebrows bent, and she said proudly: "Hmph, that's all rumors." That kid followed his mother to live well in Changping, Youzhou, and our general went to see the child the year before last. ”

Sun Xiaoyun's mind turned quickly, if he could find this mother and son, with General Liu's current identity, I was afraid that the woman would not be willing to give up this glory and wealth, and even if it was for the sake of her son's future, the woman would be willing to come......

"So you want this mother and son to be in Changping, Youzhou now? Do you know what their last names are? ”

Lai Pozi shook her head, dazed, and said, "But I overheard Mrs. Liu mention it, it seems that the child was born in April, so his nickname is Gu Yu." ”

What's this name?

Since I can't ask, I have to ask my subordinates to spend more time and ask around, if they can really find it, it can be regarded as finding a helper.

Sun Xiaoyun instantly changed the topic and asked, "I heard that the Lin family is not as good as it used to be, and I heard that the restaurant has been closed for a while. Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes, yes, the second wife of the Liu family still wants to encourage the old lady to eat the overlord meal, and she steps on the meal, but who knows that the door of the red apricot building is closed. After inquiring, I found out that the restaurant had already closed, and the slave maid also heard that it seemed that the Lin family wanted to sell the restaurant. ”

"Is that true?!"

Now Sun Xiaoyun is interested, if the news is true, it is really a good thing for herself. If you do something from it, without much effort, won't this Lin family's restaurant fall into your pocket......

The more I thought about it, the more exciting it became, and I directly rewarded Lai Pozi with thirty taels of silver and sent the person away.

……

Before you know it, the Lantern Festival has passed.

The weather is getting warmer, and most of the refugees have moved to their hometowns for fear of delaying spring planting.

Of course, there are also some people who are reluctant to leave this prosperous city and want to stay and make a living.

Lu Hong is one of them.

"Mother, do we really have to go with the second grandfather?" A seven or eight-year-old child innocently looked at his mother and asked.

Lu Hong touched his little face, and said distressedly: "What are you going to do when you go back, your grandparents are gone, do you want to go back to farming?" My mother has found an errand here, and it is not a problem to feed our mother and son, and maybe she can save some silver and send you to learn a trade. ”

The child nodded in response: "I will do whatever my mother asks me to do, I will listen to my mother." ”

"Yu'er is so good!"

Lu Hong is very pleased that this child has been obedient and filial since he was a child, and he never worries about it. It is precisely because of this that as a mother, Lu Hong is unwilling to let her children spend their lives in the crops and stay in Beijing, maybe they can learn a craft in the future and support themselves; Or let the child know the words of the second year and become a shopkeeper in the future.

"Lu Hong, you move quickly, Chef Xue is already urging."

"Okay, right away, right away."

Because there is an errand with him, it is always difficult to take the child with him all the time, but he is worried about the safety of the child, Lu Hongyi is instructing the child: "Yu'er, you just sit here obediently, you can't go anywhere, your mother will come when she goes." Be obedient and obedient! ”
