As soon as the door opened, the cold wind of the early morning invaded through the crack of the door, and it seemed to be able to penetrate the skirt to the bone, and make people shiver.

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid I won't be making a new jacket this year."

The maid Yulan shrunk her neck and said in a trembling voice, her posture is very indecent, although she is just a maid, but she is the personal maid of the eldest lady of Kang Yongbo's mansion, when there were many maids in the house before, she was a first-class maid, although this demeanor and demeanor cannot be compared with the young lady of the family, but it is much stronger than the average girl from a small family.

But now......

The other maid Coral looked at Yulan's arched shoulders and shrunk back, and wanted to say it, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, what is the use of saying it, not to mention that Yulan has been smart since she was a child, and she has learned the rules very well, but now it is like this, but it is too cold.

Even herself, sometimes when the cold bones tremble, can't she help but stomp her feet and rub her hands?

"Sister Sango, you said that it was so cold this year, would the house make us new jackets?" Seeing that Coral didn't answer, Magnolia couldn't help but mention it again.

"Didn't the girl reward you with a ginger dress the other day?" Coral did not answer directly.

Yulan pouted, "I gave the ginger jacket to the second sister, she is not an errand boy by the master's side, and the house has not made winter clothes for three consecutive years, her original body is small and thin, and she can't stand it." ”

Coral sighed, she didn't ask Yulan's family why they didn't make winter clothes for their sisters, Yulan's family was the only one in the house and her father on an errand in the house, and life was not easy, not to mention that in this house, it has been many years since the monthly money of the subordinates was not paid.

Don't talk about the next person, it's the eldest girl in their family, according to the rules of Bofu in previous years, there are also two taels of silver per month, but now it is good to get two taels a year.

As the old lady's body becomes weaker and weaker, when the old lady goes, the title of the fifth generation of the Earl Mansion will be gone, this big family, no title, and no one of the masters has a serious errand, the family's shop and land have been sold in recent years, and the people have sold more than half, and the rest of them don't know how long they can stay in this house, and what they will face in the future.

Coral exhaled, watching the exhaled hoarfrost blown away by the cold wind, his eyes stayed in the ethereal sky for a while, sighed, and patted Magnolia's hand, "I hope the old lady's body can recover soon." ”

As long as the old lady is still there, the title is still there, the title is there, no matter what, Uncle Kang Yong's Mansion can still receive the silver of the imperial court, so that even if they are poor, they can still be maintained, and they can continue to stay on the big ship of Uncle Kang Yong's Mansion.

Yulan saw Sango's sad expression, knowing what she thought, she held Sango's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Sango, don't think too much, isn't there a saying that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, the girl is also sixteen, and when the girl gets married, she will definitely take us."

Their master is the eldest granddaughter of Kang Yongbo's mansion, Xu is the second son of the Xu family in the closed city, and Master Xu is currently the sixth official of the Fengcheng Mansion.

If outsiders who don't know hear it, the eldest lady of a Bofu actually promised to marry the second son of a six-pin Tongzhi family, which can be regarded as a lower marriage.

But those in the know know that the Xu family is probably the best family that the Song family can find now.

This family affair was decided before the old lady Song was sick, and although the Song family was also declining at that time, the shelves of the Bofu could still hold on.

Since two years ago, the old lady handed over the family affairs to the second master Song because of a lingering sickbed with a cold wind, as for why it is not the eldest master Song, it is naturally because the second master Song is more likely to please the old uncle and his wife.

At this point, maybe the title of Count Kang Yong will not be there in the old lady's generation, which is also a good thing, otherwise the inheritance of this title is also a big problem, and it is almost certain that brothers will become enemies and turn against each other.

Now like this, although the entire Bofu was handed over to the Second Master Song by the old lady, although the Old Man Song was also very unhappy in his heart, but there was no title hanging in front, only this one Bofu was full of holes and like a broken ship, which was not enough to make the Second Master Song fall out with the Second Master Song because of his identity as a family member.

Sango looked at Magnolia, "Well, the girl will definitely take us." ”

She believes in that.

"Okay, it's time for the girl to wake up, go get hot water, it's too late, the hot water is gone, and the girl has to wash with cold water again."

The two maids parted in the courtyard, one went to the kitchen to fetch hot water, and the other went into the house to serve the master and get up.

When Song Xiaochi opened his eyes, he was still a little unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

The main thing is that last night's dream was too real.

"Girl? Girl? The sound of coral came from outside the curtain.

This sound suddenly brought Song Xiaochi back to reality, she shook her head, her black hair shrouded her snow-white face, the dreamlike scene in her mind was thrown out, and reality returned to her mind.

"I'm up." Song Xiaochi replied outward.

The curtain was lifted, Coral walked in, and took the clothes she needed to wear today, in fact, there is no difference between today and yesterday, as soon as the winter day enters, Song Xiaochi will also change two sets of winter clothes back and forth.

After all, it is Miss Yan, even if the Bofu is broken, she does not only have two sets of winter clothes, but the maids beside her, Coral and Magnolia, have not made winter clothes for three years, so she gave them the old clothes, although they are a little small, but they are much warmer than their own nature.

"How do you wear this, didn't you wear that one yesterday for two days? It's not dirty, don't wash your clothes too often in winter, the weather is bad these days, and you can't dry it for a while. ”

Song Xiaochi watched Coral take the slightly new begonia red jacket skirt of her two sets of winter clothes, and couldn't help but remind.

Coral was a little sad when she heard it, where was the girl afraid that she wouldn't be able to dry after washing, but if the clothes were washed diligently, it would be easier to be dilapidated.

She forced a smile and said, "The girl forgot, the wife of the Xu family is coming to the door today, and the old lady will definitely let the girl go to meet the guests at that time."

Speaking of which, the smile on the coral face is much lighter, Mrs. Xu is the girl's future mother-in-law, the girl is sixteen this year, and the second son Xu is also eighteen, this time Mrs. Xu must come to the door for the family affair between the girl and the second son Xu, maybe the wedding date can be set today.

As soon as Coral reminded her, Song Xiaochi also thought about it, she understood what Coral was thinking, but she thought that since her grandfather fell ill, as the house became more and more stretched, the Xu family became more and more contemptuous.

She didn't think that Mrs. Xu came to the door this time to agree on the marriage date, even if she was, I was afraid that there would be other requirements, or that she would embarrass the Song family in terms of attitude.
