Chapter 18 is intended

Aunt Xu glanced at Mama Qi and said, "Mama pick first." The two of us are waiting one by one, complementing each other when teaching. ”

"Okay, then I'll want Miss Cousin, I like her cleverness. I've rarely seen such a transparent child. ”

Mama Qi did not dislike Zilan's low family background, no matter how low she was, she was a serious relative of the Hou Mansion, and it was not their turn to look down on her, but being smart and clever could add points.

Zilan's eyes burst out with bright brilliance, and there was a taste of surprise on her face, she turned her head to look at Shuhui first, and saw that she didn't have any unhappy reaction, so she went to see her grandmother.

The old lady smiled, "It's okay, it's also distributed like this in my heart, Shuhui is honest and allows my aunt to teach, my granddaughter is smart and has a lot of eyes, and it will be more appropriate for the old man to teach." ”

"Yes, then it's decided, it's more appropriate for the old slave to move to live in the same yard with the girl."

Mama Qi immediately bowed and saluted.

"Okay, I'll let you clean up the house, Aunt Xu will follow Hui'er, I won't wronged you when I enter my house, the Hou Mansion will give you a piece of silver, my eldest girl will give a copy to Mama Qi alone, and the second daughter-in-law will give Aunt Xu a piece of silver."

In this way, everyone is two pieces of silver, and there is a lot of money in this year.

"Thank you for the gift of the masters, we will take care of the little masters."

The two of them saluted together, and they were also satisfied.

The old lady asked them to take them down to freshen up, to see their house, and in the future she would follow the two of them to serve closely, responsible for teaching etiquette and rules of etiquette, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the two girls would study with the master on weekdays.

"Grandmother, are we going to school too?"

Zilan climbed onto the couch and rubbed the old lady's shoulders and legs.

"Well, after a few days, you will also go to school, and the master will teach you alone, but the master is a scholar, you have to study hard."

The old lady's loving advice.

"Yes, my sister and I must study hard."

Zi Lanxin said that I must work hard to learn, the ancient literature was not solid at all, and it is impossible not to learn it, not to mention that it is necessary to understand the history of the court in this era.

"Well, Mama Qi and Aunt Xu are both capable people, each with their own strengths, don't underestimate them, follow them to learn their skills, you will benefit immensely."

"Yes."

Zilan is very grateful in her heart, with her family background to be taught by her grandmother, her value will increase a lot in the future, and the object she chooses will be better, which is already very good for her.

There is a fundamental difference between selecting people from the elite and selecting people from among the stooges.

Yang came in with a mahogany tray with an azure soup cup on it.

"Mother, I stewed a cup of vegetable and fruit soup, you drink a little, eat at noon for a while, and take a lunch break, otherwise it will be easy to get sleepy at night after sleeping too much."

As he spoke, he put down his things and scooped out three bowls of soup.

The old lady sat up, took a sip of the soup, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, your ability to stew soup is getting better and better, it's refreshing and refreshing to drink, it's really good." ”

"I thought that I couldn't eat it when it was hot and greasy, so I stewed this soup and it was refreshing, so I could eat more melons, fruits and vegetables."

Yang hugged Shuhui and blew the soup cold, and fed her slowly.

Zilan was happy to hold the bowl and drink.

When the old lady saw it, she smiled and said, "Your girl is really brilliant, but compared to Hui'er, she looks a little late." ”

Yang smiled lightly, "This child is very naughty when he is young, and his personality is a bit like a boy, and he is very aggressive." ”

"I look very good, let Mama teach me well, and I can talk about good family affairs in the future."

After a few days of getting along, the old lady liked Zilan's cleverness more and more, and she could take Shuhui to play with her, she took care of Hui'er's appearance and was a good child.

"I think so too, Brother Yan, I'm not very worried, his father is strict. Brother Yan has a stable personality, but I am worried about Lan'er's future, otherwise I can't run back to beg my mother. ”

Yang is worried about his daughter, not his son.

"Well, that's all there is to it, it's good for you to do business with your sister-in-law, and it's good to talk to each other in the future."

The old lady also means this, there is no bond of interest that depends on emotional support, and it cannot be long-term, and some people can't exchange money for face.

"Yes, I think so too, for the sake of the children, my sisters-in-law are good to me on weekdays, and everyone can earn money together, and the money can't be earned. I also want to earn a little money for the children, especially for Lan'er, who also knows that playing spices is very expensive. ”

"Do you want to buy a Zhuangzi, the kind of mountain forest, you can grow some fragrant wood flowers and plants by yourself, so that you can save a lot, and it is good to leave it to Lan'er in the future."

The old lady drank the soup and felt much more comfortable, leaning on the ginger python pillow to rest and give her daughter ideas.

"I also have this intention, her uncle and grandfather heard that there is cheap mountain land for sale in Xiaotangshan, and asked me if I want it, I plan to buy more.

Some people say that there is geothermal heat, as if the forest is very large, and it is not very proud to grow crops, but the cultivation of spices is really excellent, and I am impressed, and I will let people see it later. ”

"Oh, the land over there in Xiaotangshan is very cheap, the important thing is that I heard that there are hot springs, but there are few that can be beaten, and some of the heat is not enough, it doesn't matter if you buy more, you and other people's things are not the same, don't hinder."

The old lady smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

The Yang family was busy buying a property, Zilan and Shuhui played for a few days and became close, the old lady saw that the two children became more and more affectionate, so she let her go to school with her brothers.

And Mama Qi and Aunt Xu also quickly adapted to the life of the Hou Mansion and began to teach the two children etiquette norms, because they were young, the daily practice time was not long, and they practiced for an hour every day, even with the girls below.

When they came back from school that day, Zilan and Shuhui returned to the main courtyard, and the old lady and the Yang family and the Xu family and the Ma family were all there.

"The little boy is back, hurry up and serve some sour plum soup and get some food for the child."

The old lady went to greet her, the old man liked the liveliness of children when he was old, and there were children playing in front of him, and the house was full of life.

"Grandmother, I'm going to eat sweet and sour fish, I'm hungry."

Shuhui leaned on the old lady to be coquettish.

"Okay, yes, my granddaughter will definitely eat it, go and let people add dishes. What does Lan'er want to eat? ”

The old lady asked with her arms around the two children, her eyes full of love.

"I want to eat West Lake beef soup."

Zilan thought for a while and said.

"Okay, let's go and make a meal, the children are hungry."

The old lady explained tightly.

"After a while, people will come and choose the little girl for the two of you to serve, and you have to take a look."

Sister-in-law Xu opened her mouth to explain.

"Auntie, are you choosing a maid for us? Wouldn't that be together for a long time, I have to take a good look. ”

Zilan sat up straight and nodded and said.
