The steward and a few boys have heard that the eldest young master who has come back has no money, is shy in his pocket, and is poor and crazy, and the eldest young grandmother and his in-laws asked his wife for money on the first day they entered the house. I thought that this errand must be out of oil and water, but I never thought that this young grandmother was so generous, and when she went back, she publicized it, and it quickly spread throughout the world, and many people listened to it, and they all vaguely moved their minds without mentioning it.

An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong walked around for a while, and the food was almost gone, so they simply went back to the house to see what Song Hong had sent.

Mrs. Li was in the house, looking at the big wooden box and being stunned.

Seeing the two of them coming in, he hurriedly beckoned over: "What's going on?" ”

pointed to the big wooden box, as well as the boxes that An Huahao had asked Gu Yu to bring back before.

As soon as An Huahao explained, Mrs. Li became interested, and first opened the boxes given by the old Duchess of the country, and suddenly the room lit up several copies.

In that box, there was a set of golden gem-encrusted heads, the gems on which were the size of the tips of little fingers, golden and brilliant.

There is also a set of mutton fat white jade and a set of blood jade, which are also very precious and valuable at a glance.

Then there is the brocade box given by Song Hong, open it and take a look, inside is a stack of thick silver tickets, there are 100 taels, there are 1000 taels, there are 50 taels, a count, a total of 16,000 taels, it seems that Song Hong directly made up an integer.

And in that big box, there are all kinds of antiques, all of which are not ordinary.

Just such a little thing, at least worth 10,000 dollars.

Even Mei Xiaotong couldn't help smacking her tongue, this Guogong Mansion really has a thick background, and he can come up with such good things casually.

Mrs. Li was even more dizzy, she asked the Duchess of the country to settle the account and ask for money, then what is it, the sky-high asking price, casually said, thinking about calculating a little more, as long as the grandfather of the country still wants to save face, not to mention giving it all, he will also subsidize a little to his son-in-law, right?

This has been brought into the mansion, don't talk about Qinggao, and it won't cost the Song family a penny of money to die? That's a fool's job, I'm afraid that the Song family can't help it.

The relationship between the Song family is currently going on, and I don't know what bad things are still holding behind the Song family, so you can't be stupid, and you still spend your own money when you get to the Song family, right?

Since the Song family has money, it has to be spent! I have to spend it to death! It's best to spend this Song family's flesh hurting, and I think it's a loser boy who recognizes it, and it's good that they are scared!

Moreover, get more silver in your hands, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and money is people's guts. There is really something, it is better to have money than no money!

didn't expect the grandfather's family background to be so rich, not only did he not make a counteroffer, but he also gave a lot of money.

Even the random ones she took out were good things she hadn't seen in her life.

Suddenly felt very stressed, with such a thick net worth, how could he and his daughter-in-law lose so that the Song family was afraid?

Mrs. Li fell into deep thought.

Here, An Huahao pushed those boxes to

In front of Mei Xiaotong: "This is given by the old lady, saying that she will receive our gift during the New Year, and she will give you a meeting gift when the time comes!" ”

Mei Xiaotong was about to speak, when she heard the voice of Mrs. Wu outside: "Master, uh, the eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, a grandmother from Madame's side is here." ”

Mrs. Li has already explained to them, and when she entered the mansion, she shouted according to the ranking of the Guogong Mansion, don't give people a handle, Mrs. Wu opened her mouth and found that she shouted out her previous title, and hurriedly changed it.

Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, and motioned to An Huahao to cover the box and brocade box first, and Mrs. Li took the quilt to cover the boxes, and could only see a large box on the ground that was tightly covered, so she signaled to bring people in.

The grandmother came in, and she was also very honest, she asked for peace first, and then she made it clear that she was here to send something for the Gao family, and the Gao family had previously opened his mouth in front of Song Hong to subsidize An Huahao and them, so naturally he couldn't break his word.

After the luncheon, everyone dispersed, Song Hong took Gao into the inner room, and after asking about the situation of the ladies here in the morning, he went back to the front yard without taking a nap.

After a while, someone reported that Song Hong had taken something from the private treasury and sent someone to send it to An Huahao.

Gao knew that Song Hong was subsidizing An Huahao, so naturally he couldn't lag behind, so he took two hundred taels of silver tickets, packed up a box of jewelry and a few pieces of cloth that he didn't use on weekdays, and asked people to send them over.

This idea is not worth anything in her eyes, but it is worth it to sell it in front of Song Hong.

Because Mei Xiaotong said goodbye to the previous luncheon, he also mentioned that their yard was too far away and the weather was cold, so it was inconvenient to come to the front to eat or wait for the kitchen to deliver food.

and under the pretext that An Huahao studied hard every day, he wanted to eat a supper at night and waited until it was cold.

So she wanted to set up a small kitchen in the yard, and they brought their own cooks, and they only needed the big kitchen to send the six masters and servants of their yard to the yard every day, and they could also eat hot meals.

When it comes to An Huahao, in front of Song Hong, the Gao family naturally wants to open the door of convenience.

What's more, in this house, in her yard, and in Song Chongjun's yard, there are all small kitchens.

The courtyards of several other aunts also have pantries and pantries that can actually boil water hot snacks, make a simple noodle soup or something, and then set up a small kitchen in An Huahao's yard, it doesn't take much effort, just give an order.

Therefore, I readily agreed, and at this moment, I simply asked the woman to bring a message, saying that there was originally a small kitchen in this yard, but it was useless for many years, and it was abandoned, and someone was sent to repair it in the afternoon.

As for the firewood, rice, oil, and salt needed in the kitchen, as well as the daily rice, noodles, vegetables, eggs, meat, etc., they will be converted according to the rules of all the masters and servants in their yard, and they will be delivered every morning, just sign for the drawing.

This is a direct distribution of the food of the people in the courtyard of An Huahao's side, and the courtyard arranges and distributes it to them.

There is also the place left by the maid who was kicked out

Someone should come to the top, everyone brought it over, and Mei Xiaotong chose it herself.

Mei Xiaotong didn't shirk, went out to pick for a long time, and selected a few rough and stupid girls to stay, in front of the mother-in-law, thanked the Gao family, and also rewarded the mother-in-law who sent things and brought words, and then sent people away.

In the next few days, everyone was very peaceful, An Huahao had already said that Mei Xiaotong could not go to Gao's morning and dusk every day, and Gao was really afraid of seeing Mei Xiaotong, and when he began to listen to Song Hong, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but now he is very glad that he doesn't have to see Mei Xiaotong every day, and he doesn't have to worry about it every day.

The rest of the people saw that Song Hong and the Gao family were now biased towards An Huahao, and they had also seen the lethality of Mei Xiaotong and Li Pozi, and they didn't dare to provoke again for a while.

Therefore, in the past few days a few years, An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong have rarely been idle, hiding in the yard to clean up the house, after all, they have to live for a while, and they have to clean up and live comfortably.

The few girls and mothers-in-law selected by Mei Xiaotong watched it for a few days, roughly determined their behavior, and called them to the yard and asked them what they would do, so that they could arrange it.

They all look rough and stupid, but they also have their own skills, some can embroider, some can comb their hair, and some can serve flowers and trees.

Mei Xiaotong asked them to be interviews one by one, and only then did she pick out one of them who could comb her hair, one who could embroider, and one who seemed to be a first-class maid, although she would not serve Mei Xiaotong closely, she could also go into the house to give Gu Yu a hand, and important things could not be touched for the time being, and she could barely be regarded as Mei Xiaotong's eyes.

These girls were surprised, happy and afraid, the previous batch of people who came to serve the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother, but they were carefully selected, and they had a way, and they also made a lot of silver inside.

Thinking that the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother are from the countryside, they must not know the rules of the Guogong Mansion, and they can get a lot of oil and water by fooling around.

Unexpectedly, just one face, was kicked out by the young grandmother, not to mention, I don't know how, but also offended the lady, it is said that those who were driven out by the young grandmother, even the family was kicked out.

For a while, everyone was in danger, and they no longer dared to be greedy for such benefits.

offended other masters, at most he was punished for kneeling, beating, and fined monthly money.

offended the eldest young grandmother, and the livelihood of the family was cut off.

The one with some heads and faces, his neck shrunk, and he didn't want to come out, and no one dared to come to the yard of the young grandmother on an errand.

In the end, it was those of them who had no backing to be pushed out.

Before they came one by one, they were trembling, and the family was not well-off, and if they offended the young grandmother, they were afraid that the family would have no way to live.

Those who weren't selected wept with joy and felt that they had escaped death.

Those who were chosen were like mourning examiners.

After two days of worry, I found out that this young grandmother's family is not as terrible as those people say, in the yard of the young grandmother, as long as you are honest and don't ask around, it's fine

。

Every day, there is enough charcoal in the house, and the food is taken from the small kitchen, and no matter what time of day you go, it is hot soup and hot dishes, which is much better than bringing it from the big kitchen.

I slowly calmed down for a while.

As soon as I chose today, those stupid girls knew that they couldn't get ahead, and they didn't expect to be picked as first-class maids, and they had a lot of money a month, and they were just rough girls on weekdays, only three hundred dollars a month.

Coupled with the example of the big girl, it is not a reward from the master, so it is also a step to the sky, right?

No one expected that they would be hit by this big pie, and they were all stupid.

It took a while to come back to his senses, thank Mei Xiaotong, and ask Mei Xiaotong to give her name.

This maid can be given a name by the master, that is the face.

Mei Xiaotong was originally named wasted, and after thinking about it, Gu Yu's name came according to the solar terms, and they all came according to the solar terms, three girls, Lixia, Bailu, and Xiaoxue.

The three girls kowtowed to their names and stood aside.

The other girls and mothers-in-law, Mei Xiaotong has been observing them a lot in the past few days, and she has a number in her heart, and she has assigned things one by one, and finally said: "From now on, as long as you honestly talk less and work more, I will not treat you badly." But if anyone eats inside and outside, thinking about passing on something or news to the outside, or there are other masters behind him, and they want to fish in troubled waters in my yard, they should dispel this idea as soon as possible. ”

"I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, and the people in the countryside don't talk about the overall situation, as long as I know, I not only want to make trouble in front of the grandfather and Mrs. Guo, but also go outside, and everyone knows about it, when the time comes, you and the master behind you will be ruined, don't blame me for not reminding me in advance-"

As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt down: "The slave and maid don't dare—"

They all showed their loyalty.

Mei Xiaotong didn't bother to listen: "I'll put my words here today, you just remember it, okay, retreat——"

Directly let people retreat.

It was so reluctant to sort out the affairs of the yard, and for a while they all performed their duties and were in order.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Song Bi dragged his family back, and when he arrived at the Guogong Mansion, it was already half the night, and An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong followed to greet him.

That Song Bi looked heroic, and when he saw An Huahao, he smiled: "This is Brother Jin?" ”

Song Hong introduced: "This is your second uncle." ”

An Huahao saluted, and Song Bi held An Huahao's hand very affectionately, and praised it, only saying that Song Hong was blessed, and took off the jade pestuff he was wearing to An Huahao, and said that it was simple, and he would give it if there was a good one in the future.

It can be seen that it is eight-sided and exquisite, and it is very sleek.

Following Song Bi were his two sons, who also came forward to greet him, and one son was too young and was carried by the nurse to the backyard.

Here in the backyard, Song Bi's wife Yu is also quite good-looking

Beautiful, articulate and articulate.

The two husbands and wives also have a tacit understanding, Yu Shi took Mei Xiaotong's hand and didn't let go, just said that she liked it when she looked at it, she was not lucky and didn't give birth to a girl, and she liked it when she saw this beautiful girl-

Mei Xiaotong noticed that when Gao heard this, his face was a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Yu Shi again, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, quite deliberately.

Mei Xiaotong knew that this Yu family deliberately used himself as a valve to stab the Gao family.

I want to be cannon fodder, and I don't know if I agreed?

Mei Xiaotong also smiled, and pulled Yu Shi more affectionately: "It turns out that the second aunt likes her daughter, what's so difficult about this?" I heard that the second aunt's brother is only five or six years old, and he is not very old, so the second aunt can raise the brother as a daughter? As the saying goes, Caiyi entertains relatives, and if you want to let the heavy brothers entertain their mothers, it's also a good story to spread it, right? Second aunt? ”

The smile on Yu's face froze suddenly, what the hell is this suggestion? She heard that the newly found eldest daughter-in-law is a country girl, although she doesn't look like it when she meets, but the Yu family can also figure it out, if it is an ordinary country girl, can she be looked at? Must it be pretty, huh?

She thought about this country girl, come to the house, she still doesn't know about those people in the Guogong Mansion, they are all rich and noble, this country girl can't say how much she has eaten, it's hard to say, she was excluded in the house.

As long as she says two beautiful words and cares, the country girl can't be grateful to their second room?

This is not good, I don't expect the country girl to do anything, the disgusting and disgusting Dafang and Gao's are also good.

I never thought that the big house was not disgusted, but I was disgusted first.

Gao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, when the eldest daughter-in-law scolded herself, it was unspeakably uncomfortable, but seeing the eldest daughter-in-law so choked that the second room couldn't speak, why was she so comfortable?

Yu Shi smiled reluctantly: "Brother Jin's daughter-in-law is laughing, where can this good boy pretend to be a girl?" ”

"Well, isn't that easy? I heard that this capital has the custom of going to the suburbs to ask for Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first month, since the second aunt likes me so much, I will go to the Huguo Temple this year to ask for the Bodhisattva, bless the second aunt to have a big fat girl every year in the future, and the daughters under her knees are in groups......" Mei Xiaotong looked sincerely grateful.

Yu almost didn't vomit blood! Are you asking for a blessing or a curse?

Reluctantly said: "You kid, you should also ask the Bodhisattva to bless Jin Ge'er High School when the time comes——"

"Second aunt, you are so good to me, you said that you like it when you see me, and I like it when you see it. At most, I will ask the Bodhisattva more, not only to bless Xianggong High School, but also to bless the second aunt to have a daughter every year, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Get the best of both worlds!

Especially next to him, Gao said with a smile: "It can be seen that this brother Jin's daughter-in-law is sincere, brother and sister, you can't say that you will be able to get your wish next year!" ”

The aunt on the side, Ruan's and a few other girls also echoed.

This one

At that time, it is natural to be consistent with the outside world, especially looking at the Yu family who relied on the neat corners of his mouth in the past, and insinuated that the big house was deflated, and everyone couldn't express the joy in their hearts.

The smile on Yu's face couldn't be hung up, and it was not easy to attack, so he had to turn his head: "Why didn't I bring the meeting gift I prepared for Brother Jin's daughter-in-law?" ”

The mother-in-law behind him hurriedly took a box, Yu took it, opened it in public, it was a pair of gold bracelets, no other characteristics, just big and heavy.

Although the style is old-fashioned, it can't stand up to be solid.

"The second aunt doesn't have anything good, this bracelet was the second aunt's dowry, and it can be regarded as a thought, you can keep it and play."

Generally, wealthy and aristocratic families, the value of the meeting gift is not such a valuable method, that is, to the jewelry, but also to the delicate, so that the bare two bracelets, even if they are gold, are also slapped in the face.

This is also a little scheming of Yu's family, country girl, what good things can you see, naturally gold and silver are the most eye-catching, where can you tell what is good or bad?

Mei Xiaotong smiled: "Thank you, second aunt, it turns out that my mother is right, there is no difference between this capital and our countryside, this marriage is accompanied by such a gold bracelet, I married Xianggong, and my mother also accompanied me with a pair of such bracelets, I am still old-fashioned." But my mother said that only decent people can afford to accompany it. I thought my mother was coaxing me, but after watching my second aunt today, I realized that I didn't coax me, and the decent people in the capital really married like this. ”

As soon as she said this, Song Chongqi couldn't help laughing first, and the other two girls couldn't help but cover their mouths with a handkerchief and snicker.

Yu's face was so red that he still knew that Gao Shi was too late, so he stepped forward with a smile and took Yu's hand: "Okay, your second aunt has worked hard all the way, sit up and serve hot tea." ”
