The twenty-third Jiang Xinyu came to the door (three watches)
Xin Yao and Xiao Han said that they could neither spend money, nor put on a posture to see how to send people away.
Xiao Han coughed lightly, so he said as a difficult one: "It's a little difficult, so I'll give it a try." ”
Xin Yao stepped forward and said with a wicked smile: "In this way, there will be Uncle Lao!" ”
Xiao Hanqi smiled and grabbed Xin Yao's hand, wanting to bite it hard, but when it came to his mouth, he only touched it lightly, and said with a meaningful smile: "You wait!" ”
In the side hall of the east courtyard, Jiang Xinyu had just sat down, and before the tea was served, she saw the fourth brother-in-law striding into the hall.
Xin Yu stretched her neck and looked behind him, surprised in her heart.
Xiao Han hugged his fists and said: "Rare guests, second sister sit down." ”
Jiang Xinyu hurriedly replied: "Fourth brother-in-law, what about the fourth sister?" ”
"Yaoyao, she is not very good today, it is inconvenient to meet guests, and it is the same if the second sister has anything to say to me." Xiao Han said without hurrying or slowing.
Jiang Xinyu didn't expect Xiao Han to say this, so she was stunned at the moment, and she didn't know how to speak.
Xiao Han took the tea from the maid, dialed the tea leaves on his head, took a sip, and waited for the following.
Jiang Xinyu's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly said: "I'm just here to see the fourth sister, and it's not a big deal, so I won't chatter." ”
Xiao Han put the teacup lightly, and immediately got up and said, "It just so happens that there is something in my yamen, I will send the second sister." ”
Jiang Xinyu's heart was cold, she got up slowly, and walked out without saying a word.
Xiao Han never talked much in front of outsiders, so he only followed silently.
The breeze saw that the fourth lady's face was not revealed. If there is anything I don't understand, I raised my eyes to look at the young lady's face, and then looked at the fourth aunt with the corner of my eye. Involuntarily frowned.
Thinking about the situation in the house, Qingfeng gritted his teeth and walked quickly in front of Xiao Han, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Fourth aunt, the grandmother in the house is not in good health, and she needs to use some ginseng to recuperate, and the slave and maid are brave and want to ask the fourth aunt ......."
Qingfeng blushed and couldn't continue. That Jiang Xinyu's face was also flushed, and she just wanted to find a hole to drill down. I wanted to scold two sentences, thinking about this girl's loyalty, but I couldn't open this mouth anyway, and I looked at my face. I had to turn my back and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Xiao Han glanced at the master and servant, his eyes finally fell on Qingfeng, and after a change of heart, he said, "Come on, go and ask if there are any ginseng in Mother Li's house?" Rise up! ”
When the little maid heard the news, she ran away.
After a while, the little maid hurriedly came and said smartly: "Back to Uncle, Mother Li said that the eldest grandmother gave birth a few days ago, which was extremely dangerous. Thanks to those old ginseng in the palace and the palace, his life will be saved, and it has not been interrupted in the past few months. Unfortunately, I just finished eating yesterday, and I was planning to go to Qingfeng Hall to buy some more. ”
Xiao Han will know in his heart. Laughing: "It's really not a coincidence. In this case, you will go to the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Hall, I have some friendship with him, just report my name, he will not dare to fool you. ”
Speaking of which, Jiang Xinyu had to barely say a few words. It was as if he had fled and left the Xiao Mansion.
……
Xin Yao listened to Li's mother's reply and didn't say a word for a long time.
Mother Li looked at Xin Yao's face. Then he said: "I heard from the people around the uncle, the second lady's complexion is not very good, she is slightly yellow, and she is wearing a simple clothes, which must be because the money is not in her hands." ”
Xin Yao stopped the needlework in her hand and sighed: "In this way, my sister-in-law's clever plan has worked. We don't have to pay attention to it, if we come again, we can only wait for tea and snacks, and we can't give any more money and clothes. ”
Li's mother nodded in response.
Unexpectedly, a day later, Jiang Xinyu's master and servant came again, and the nurse behind her was holding a child who was almost two years old.
Mother Li was really embarrassed and rushed back to her grandmother.
Weiyun saw that the eldest grandmother frowned slightly, and comforted on the side: "It's not a way to always hide, the eldest grandmother can't help but see her, and she will talk about it, and it will save them from coming again and again in the future." ”
Xin Yao sighed and said, "She came here for the silver this time, just invite someone in." ”
Not long after, Jiang Xinyu and his entourage of four came from afar.
Xin Yao didn't get up, she just smiled and asked people to sit down, let Weiyun pick up her brother a few times, and looked at it again and again: "You look really good, second sister, what is this child's name?" ”
Jiang Xinyu was embarrassed: "I originally named him, Jing Yao said that the rules of the Sun family, the child's name needs to be given by the elders before it can be counted, and now he is only called Ah Bao." ”
Ah Bao looks like a tiger, white and pure is really cute, and he is not afraid of life, and when he saw that everyone was turning to look at him, he pulled his mouth and smiled, revealing a few front teeth.
Seeing that she liked it, Xin Yao hurriedly ordered the maids to take out all the delicious and fun things and take care of them.
The light cloud was facing the breeze, the nurse nodded, turned around with the child in her arms and went to the inner room, and in a blink of an eye, only the two sisters and Mother Li were left in the room.
The two sisters were speechless for a while, only looked at the faces of the people in front of them.
Jiang Xinyu saw that the face of the fourth sister was white and tender, like a pearl fluorescent, as if she could pinch out the water, where was there a bad appearance on her body, she couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in her heart, and subconsciously touched her face, and said with a false smile: "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and my sister is getting better and better." ”
Xin Yao said steadily: "The second sister's face is not very good-looking, and she needs to take care of herself." ”
As soon as Jiang Xinyu heard this, thinking about the commotion at home in the past two days, her face became unnatural.
It turned out that after coming out of the Xiao Mansion, the master and servant went to Qingfeng Hall, and the shopkeeper Lu politely invited people in, asked what he meant, and took out dozens of good human-shaped leaf ginseng and placed them one by one.
Jiang Xinyu asked the price, like sitting on pins and needles.
The shopkeeper said lightly: "The relationship between Uncle Xiao Fu and me is extraordinary, you are the person introduced by the uncle, and I only need to charge a capital on the silver money." ”
Jiang Xinyu's master and servant asked for hundreds of taels of silver, so they had to flee in despair, bought two small ginseng sticks in a small pharmacy and sent them to Xiao Cao's family.
Xiao Cao's family was naturally grateful, and the senior came in with a stomach. As soon as he looked at the ginseng, he sneered and said that the ginseng was the size of a finger, not to mention curing the disease, even if it was stuffed between the teeth, it was not enough to chew.
However, after arguing with her for a few words, Sanqiao rolled on the ground and howled for a long time, and it was a lot of trouble.
At night, Sun Jingyao asked about the stewardship, and Jiang Xinyu said that the fourth sister was not in good health and did not see anyone.
Although Sun Jingyao is not very clear about economic affairs, he is also familiar with human accidents, and sighs in the middle of the night.
Jiang Xinyu heard the man's sigh, and her heart was broken, but she had no choice but to do it, and she didn't close her eyes all night. After a hard day, he simply took his son to Xiao's mansion.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu didn't care about the manuscript that had been typed a few times in advance, and said bluntly: "Fourth sister, my sister came here to ask my sister for something. ”
Xin Yao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Second sister, I heard that Aunt Du will go back to the south with her eldest brother and sister-in-law in a few days, can you go and send one?" ”
Jiang Xinyu didn't want Xin Yao to talk about this, and hurriedly explained: "I want to send it, but when will the eldest brother and sister-in-law return to the south, and they haven't even given me half a cent of news, how can they send it?" ”
Jiang Xinyu's words are false, she knows about the Jiang family's big house returning to the south. She was afraid of her eldest brother, and her aunt was angry and took her back to the south with the child, pretending not to know.
In addition, Sun Jingyao caught a cold at night a few days ago, and her body was a little hot, her heart was all tied to her own man, how to rest assured that her subordinates would wait, serve tea and send medicine, and she would forget about it when she was busy.
Xin Yao smiled and said, "I heard that Aunt Du has been sick since she came back from her sister, isn't my sister worried?" ”
Jiang Xinyu said with guilt on her face: "Naturally, I am worried, I just hope that after she returns to Suzhou Mansion, she will have a good life and recuperate." ”
Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Taking a boat from Suzhou Fu Wharf to Beijing takes twenty days as fast, thirty or forty days as slow, and two months as one back and forth. The boat is boring, except for the scenery along the coast, how to spend the remaining long days? Sister, I suddenly remembered that when I entered Beijing, if it weren't for the two younger brothers joking and playing on the side, I was afraid that life would be difficult. ”
Xin Yao sighed lightly and said quietly: "Hey, by the way, my sister just said that she has something to ask me?" ”
Jiang Xinyao's joking words made Jiang Xinyu's eyes red. Brother and sister-in-law, her biological mother came thousands of miles to the capital to visit her, and she didn't even drink tea, so she was angry and went back, and her biological mother was still sick for more than a month, but she ......
Jiang Xinyu took out the handkerchief from her arms, wiped her tears silently, and choked up after a while: "Fourth sister, my sister came today to ask my sister to find an errand for Jing Yao." A big man can't live in the house all the time. My shops don't make any money. My sister is capable, the shop is prosperous, there is always a place for useful people, Jing Yao is knowledgeable, and his temperament is good, so I have the cheekiness to ask my sister. ”
Jiang Xinyao smiled faintly and said, "It was for this matter." In the shop, there are fewer people in Zhuangzi, but they are not decent errands, I don't know if Sun Gongzi may succumb? ”
The sound of Sun Gongzi made Jiang Xinyu feel a little uncomfortable, and said with a forced smile: "Sister, Jing Yao is weak and can't do those hard jobs." He has been studying for many years, and he is a talented person, so he begged his sister to find a better errand for his sister's sake. ”
Jiang Xinyao sneered and said: "Second sister, this matter was not a big deal originally, but I am used to doing things in those shops, and I also use it well. ”
Jiang Xinyu originally thought that with the relationship between their cousins, this matter would be nine times safe, but she never thought that Xin Yao would categorically refuse, not even a euphemism, and she couldn't wipe her face away for a while.
immediately said with a cold face: "Fourth sister, our sisters, blood is thicker than water, is it possible that my relationship with you is not as good as that of Sun Jinghui." That Sun Jinghui deceived me so far, but my sister gave her the chief steward, a salary of a few hundred taels of silver a year, and dividends. I begged my sister for something, but my sister didn't think about it, so she refused, but my sister still has me, the second sister who is hard-working? (To be continued)
