But although the second sister-in-law is reasonable, in this way, will it delay his time if the fourth brother is delayed in mundane affairs? Banniang said her doubts, Chao Wenrou laughed: "If you really care, it's messy, although reading is important, but mundane affairs are equally important, if they really become people who only read the books of sages, they can't carry things in their hands, they can't bear the burden on their shoulders, they don't know anything about human affairs, and they will make achievements in the imperial examination in the future, how can such people be officials?" ”

Isn't that the reason? She really cares, and it's messed up.

When I talked to Shiro, Shiro not only didn't think that he would delay his time at all, but was very happy: "Eighth sister can entrust me with things, I will definitely do my best, but I really don't know anything about business, I'm afraid it will ruin Eighth Sister's business." ”

Banniang smiled: "I haven't done it, how do you know that you can't do it?" Besides, there is nothing to do in the shop now, everything is done step by step, isn't there still Second Brother Liu and Qiu Xia Rong in the workshop to help you? Besides, if something big happens, fourth brother, you can't make up your mind alone, you can also ask Brother Zifu about them. ”

In fact, it is more appropriate to entrust the matter to Zifu, but Zifu is just a cousin in the end, and it obviously takes some time to take care of the shop, and Banniang is afraid that Zifu will not be willing.

As a result, Zifu heard this, and said with a smile on the side: "That's it, what about our brothers, three stinkers can still be worth Zhuge Liang, can't we be a few brothers, not even three stinkers?" ”

Although there is no separation, but in the end it is a two-room person, Zifu brothers live at home, one should be spending, all the money from the second room, their monthly silver money, and Shiro and a few people are the same, the usual other expenses, are also public, Zijing is not careful, Zifu and Zijian always feel uneasy, and also want to share something for the family, but there is really nothing to worry about at home, the grange is in Nanfeng, there is a special steward to manage, a year is just by the eldest brother Zeng Ziye to reconcile an account, collect a rent, business matters, it has always been Banniang's control, and they don't understand, so there's really nothing to contribute.

There is something that can make them help at this time, how can they be reluctant?

Zijian and the others also responded again and again.

The brothers worked together, and their strength was broken, Banniang felt that the second sister-in-law's idea was really good, and she was ashamed to take herself as a superman in the past and ignore the abilities of the brothers in the family. ”

I also gave a brief introduction to the business in the shop and how to run it. These are all smart people, although they have no actual combat experience, but they can use their brains, after listening, they asked a few questions, and they all asked the point, and Banniang was more confident in the decision to entrust them with the shop.

In the next two days, I took a few more people to the shops and workshops for a walk, and then began to pack my luggage and plan to leave.

Before leaving, it is natural to go to Caifu to say goodbye.

Banniang made some good gifts and went to Cai's house, and it happened that Cai Junmo Xiumu was at home, and he was very happy to see Banniang. The father and daughter went to the study to talk, and Nuan Niang was about to come over, but was pulled by Mrs. Cai: "You child, your father called your sister to the study to talk, naturally there is something serious to talk about, you go to the kitchen with your mother to see, Banniang is rare to visit, this go, it will take half a year, my mother will cook in person, make something delicious." ”

Nuan Niang has been running to Zeng's house a lot in the past few months, and she has also learned a lot of dishes with Banniang, and after listening to Mrs. Cai's words, she smiled and said: "A few days ago, Sister Eight taught me a lot of dishes, and this time I also showed my skills, so that Sister Eight knew that she knew that I was a student, but it was rare for a thousand years." ”

"It's not ashamed." Mrs. Cai laughed amusefully with her finger and poked her smile.

The mother and daughter took the little maid to the kitchen.

Entering the study, the stove in the house was boiling water, Banniang made a cup of tea for Cai Junmo, and when Cai Junmo drank it, while helping him rub his shoulders, he asked with a smile: "The father-in-law is looking for his daughter to come to the study house, but there is something to order?" ”

"Your business in the workshop and shop is still going well?"

"Lao Yi's father is concerned, and he is still obedient."

Cai Junmo said "um", and then said to Banniang: "You can also sit down." ”

Banniang sat down as she said, and Cai Junmo said, "You are also eighteen this year, right?" ”

Her birthday is in May, and in more than two months, she will be eighteen, and in a blink of an eye, she has been in this world for seven years.

Banniang said: "Back to my father-in-law's words, by May, I will just turn eighteen years old. ”

Cai Junmo glanced at her, pondered for a while, and said: "I have a friend in Shuzhong, who took his two sons to study in the capital, and opened the department the year after tomorrow, I thought, probably my old friend, is to let his son participate in the Spring and Autumn two examinations in the capital, I look at his two sons of character and talent, are rare, especially the eldest son, a splendid article, really deserves to be amazing and brilliant four words, I thought, you are now undecided, the age is not young, you can't drag it any longer, and you have no intention of the child of Seventeen Lang, so the father-in-law has a thoughtI think you're a good match for my friend's eldest son......"

"This ......" Banniang was stunned, even if she and Di Yong didn't succeed in the end, they wouldn't marry a stranger who had never even met in person, right? Besides, my father-in-law also said that I am eighteen years old, although there are not no women who are not married at the age of eighteen, but there are not many in the end, and I am not very good-looking, and people may not look down on me? "My daughter is now in the period of filial piety, how can I think about my own family affairs? Wait for two years in addition to serving, it's not too late to think about it, besides, my daughter has no intention of getting married now. ”

"You child, how can there be a woman who doesn't marry? You and Nadi Erlang are destined to have no part, but you can't delay yourself for a lifetime. The father-in-law also saw that the Su family's eldest son was really a talent, so he had this idea. Although the Su family is not rich in Shuzhong, they are also well-off, and there are a few acres of fertile land at home, Su Mingyun teaches his sons well, and his two sons are very good, I originally thought that his youngest son was more calm, and he was worthy of you, but unfortunately he was two years younger than you, but Su Zizhan was the same age as you, if you wanted, my father-in-law would inquire about one or two......

Su Zizhan, Su Ziyou, Su Mingyun? Banniang was really stunned this time.

Isn't this the famous Ersu in history? Plus his son Su Mingyun, is he not the third Su in Shuzhong? The eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, the six families of the Song Dynasty, the most famous three Sus? Especially Su Dongpo Su Zizhan, poems, words, books, paintings, all kinds of excellence, on poetry, for thousands of years, but Li Taibai in the Tang Dynasty can be comparable to it, on articles, he is one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, on calligraphy and painting, he is one of Su Huang Mi Cai. Blame the righteous father for saying that he is amazingly talented. If it is said that among the literati of the past dynasties in China, Su Zizhan is absolutely worthy of the words "amazing talent".

In the future life, as long as you know a few words, you can not know Ouyang Xiu, you can not know her second brother Zeng Zigu, but who dares to say that you don't know Su Dongpo?

The father-in-law actually wanted to marry him off?

This is really thunderous. Is this his protagonist's aura?

Banniang really didn't know how to behave for a while, and she couldn't hold back her laughter. But not happy.

Thinking of Su Dongpo, he didn't mention "going to the east of the great river, and the waves were sweeping away the romantic characters through the ages", but the "ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable" immediately came to his mind. That is Su Dongpo's eternal swan song to remember his dead wife.

When Banniang read this word, she was deeply moved.

But the feelings of the literati are really untouched, and then I read some wild history, and I know that this guy is affectionate to his wife, and it does not affect him at all to go to the kiln to play amorous, so he completely lost his appetite, and what is even more infuriating is that he was able to give away his pregnant concubine, well, although this kind of behavior was nothing at that time, but I really forgive her for understanding incompetence.

No matter what the world is, at least a few uncles and brothers in his own family have no concubines. Not to mention what to go to the fence tile to show the grace.

Although Banniang also admires Su Dongpo's talent very much, the favorite lyricist of the Song Dynasty in his previous life, and only this Su Dacai, one of the three Sus, is the only one, but to be friends, or to intersect, to be his husband, God, Nong or let me go?

Besides, this child should have a wife, right? The father-in-law is really, he wants to pull a matchmaker, and he doesn't know how to inquire about the actual situation of others.

Banniang coughed and said to Cai Junmo: "Father-in-law, you also said that Su Zizhan is the same age as me, and since he is the same age as me, even if he is not married, the family should be engaged." ”

Cai Junmo said with a smile: "That's why my father-in-law came to ask what you mean, if you let go of the Di family Erlang in your heart, the father-in-law will go to inquire, I am planning to invite the father and son of the Su family to come to the house as a guest in the past two days, and then take the opportunity to ask you to meet you." If Su Zizhan really decides on a family matter, then he is not afraid, I think Su Zizhan is not bad. Although you are a year or two older than him, it is not uncommon for a woman to be older than her husband. ”

This is really a matter of concern, and the stepfather is usually such a person, and he couldn't be more rigorous. Now I haven't even inquired about the situation of other people, so I want to recruit someone to be my son-in-law. Banniang was amused in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, my daughter really doesn't want to think about her own family affairs at this time." Besides, you also know that the daughter is different from the women of other people's families, doing business, running all over the world, the Su family is a family of cultivators and scholars, and may not be able to tolerate a daughter-in-law like a daughter, a family like theirs, what they need is a woman who worships each other's filial sons, and the daughter can't get married, so don't care about the big bunch of things, right? ”

Cai Junmo thought about it, but the two sons of the Su family were really rare talents, so he dispelled the idea of letting people be his son-in-law, he was very reluctant, and he thought about it in his heart, and he had to try to know. Su Zizhan's temperament is extremely sparse, and he is not as sour as ordinary scribes, so he may not care about Banniang's business.

After thinking about it like this, he smiled and said: "My father-in-law is just talking to you, whether it will be successful or not, and there is no hurry, then the father and son of the Su family will always stay in Beijing for a few years." Aren't you going to Quanzhou? What's going on over there? ”

"Last year, it was good, and the profits increased compared with the year before. It's okay to leave her daughter, but the contract signed with Yongxing is about to expire this fall, and there are a lot of things involved, so my daughter has to go. Seeing that the righteous father himself was determined to open the topic, Banniang was also happy to talk about other things.

Cai Junmo stroked his beard and said: "Banniang, although my father-in-law doesn't know how much profit you make in a year now, but it is also a very considerable figure, my father-in-law still remembers that you once said that the benefits of doing business are taken from the world and used by the people, have you ever thought about how to use this money?" ”

Banniang smiled. The question of the stepfather was right on her mind.
