"Even the new clothes of the subordinates have been added, and I have been left alone!" Aunt Xue stood up suddenly, walked back and forth with a handkerchief twisted in both hands, and then asked Xue Lin again, "Did you add it too?" ”

Xue Lin nodded, thought about it and said: "I added a summer dress of Ruan yarn, I heard that the wife and the old lady added Ruan Luo's materials, and the prices are about the same, but Ruan Luo's materials are more expensive when worn on the body." ”

Aunt Xue narrowed her eyes: "It's all the eldest girl's choice?" ”

Xue Lin nodded again, and Aunt Xue bit her lip hatefully: "Dead girl, she is deliberately trying to embarrass me!" ”

Xue Lin continued: "After picking out the materials, my cousin also specially asked Noble to take out the account book and check it, and then deliberately said a few words. ”

"What?" Aunt Xue's eyebrows jumped, and her delicate face was obviously full of anger.

"It's said that our relatives over there have taken too many things for nothing, and this business can't be done." Xue Lin looked at Aunt Xue and said softly, and at the same time thought to herself, cousin, don't you want me to say, I will listen to you, and then my sister-in-law will cry with my aunt and uncle to see whose heart I can call.

"Dead girl-" Aunt Xue patted her chest angrily, Xue Lin hurriedly handed her tea, Aunt Xue took two sips before stroking her heart and said, "Is that for nothing, is that for nothing, isn't it every time there is an account, why did you take it for nothing!" Besides, the affection of relatives is not worth these money, and they all fall into the eyes of money, and there is nothing else in their eyes except money! The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more angry she became, and after a little breath, she continued, "Also, I don't look at what is in the store, I can't even find the silk silk full of flowers I wanted last month, Yishui is all inferior materials, which can be worth a few dollars, and it is so much an inch or two inches!" What's wrong with our Xue family, speaking of which, the previous generation of our Xue family is all scholars, and there are a few masters, who can use the materials in his store to tailor and wear, which is to add luster to his face. Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”

Xue Lin waited for Aunt Xue to finish speaking, and then sighed: "They can't care about it, in the end, now we are under the eaves, the sister-in-law is okay, she was carried into the door seriously, and now their family is pointing to the sister-in-law's stomach to renew the incense for the uncle." I am the duckweed in the water, I don't know tomorrow after today, and in two years, who knows where it will go. ”

Aunt Xue hadn't come out of that angry mood yet, and was suddenly woken up by Xue Lin, and immediately came back to her senses, and then gritted her teeth and said: "I almost forgot, their family is pointing at my stomach, and if it wasn't for the sick man who held a grudge in his heart and deliberately deducted my monthly routine, I didn't eat well, and even the child in my stomach was hungry, and as a result, my poor child was gone before he came out!" ”

"On that day, my brother also told me to let my sister-in-law take good care of her body. As long as the sister-in-law has a brother, the aunt and uncle will only point to the aunt and the son, and in the future, don't say that it is the aunt, even the old lady has to let you have three points, and you need to care about the one or two horses, and then the whole shop will be the sister-in-law's. ”

"Hmph, I don't know this yet. After all, I'm still young, and there are opportunities, but it's impossible for that sick man in his life. It's just that Aunt Xue said this, so she sat down and frowned, calculated in her heart, and then said again, "But the master doesn't know what's going on recently, and he has been sleeping at the sick tuberculosis for most of the month." ”

"I heard that my aunt hasn't been in good health recently, maybe she wants to care more about it." Xue Lin also frowned slightly.

"When will her body be better!" Aunt Xue stood up as she spoke, "It just so happens that I'm going to take a look, and then ask this family that has added new clothes, why did they leave me alone, I have to find an explanation today." ”

Xue Lin looked at the expression on Aunt Xue's face, smiled secretly in her heart, and then stood up as well.

……

At this time, Zhu had just taken a nap and was washing his face, when Aunt Xue came in.

"Yo, my sister slept really sweetly this afternoon, and she looks much better than before." After Aunt Xue came in, she didn't wait for Zhu to ask her to sit, so she walked to the big kang near the window and sat down. Xue Lin followed Aunt Xue in and called Auntie, and then stood aside, and after Hongyu finished serving the Zhu family, she followed Hongyu out of the outhouse, and then casually took the sewing basket that Hongyu had placed in the outhouse, picked up an unfinished forehead wipe and embroidered it down, but his ears paid attention to the movement in the inner room.

After Zhu cleaned up, he turned his head and glanced at Aunt Xue with some confusion, then got up and walked to sit down opposite her and asked, "Why is this coming?" ”

Aunt Xue sighed: "My heart burned in a panic, and I couldn't sleep, so I came over to see my sister." ”

"What's the matter, you're not feeling well?" Zhu glanced at Aunt Xue as he spoke, but saw that the other party was ruddy and radiant, without a trace of inappropriateness.

"It's nothing in my body, but I was stabbed in my heart." Aunt Xue sighed again as she spoke, "I know that I am just a concubine, and I can't compare with my sister, but I can't abuse me so badly, no matter how I am brought in by my lord seriously, and I have added another layer of kinship." Even if I can't compare to the old lady and the wife, it's more expensive than the maids, but now in this matter, how can I see that I am not as good as the maids in this family, this is not a bad thing! ”

Zhu was even more puzzled: "What's the matter?" Who spoiled you? Okay, how can you talk like that? ”

"I don't dare say that." Aunt Xue said in a low voice, and then raised her eyes to look at Zhu Shidao, "I heard that two days ago, even the maids at home were given new clothes, but I was left alone, this is not deliberately abusing people!" ”

Zhu Shi was stunned, thought about it, and then said softly: "Leaving you alone?" ”

"Not really!" Aunt Xue's eyes turned red as she spoke, "A few days ago, I begged the old lady to be kind, but the old lady said that the family had no money left and couldn't help." Although I feel sad in my heart, but my family is really difficult, then I will not force it. But now, isn't the old man's business all turned around, the batch of clothes that were almost smashed in his hands two days ago were all sold, and he also made a lot of silver, otherwise why would the eldest girl suddenly add new clothes to the whole family. But this is a clear good thing, why did I leave me alone, it is said that I don't have to be rare for one or two new clothes, I just feel uncomfortable, I have served by my lord's side for five years, and in recent years, I have been carefully maintaining my body every day, what am I for? It's not just to add a queen to the old lady and renew the incense to the Mo family, but who can see my hard work, in the end, I can't even compare to a maid, I, what hope do I have in this life......"

Aunt Xue cried without breathing, and Zhu was dumb for a while before persuading: "Okay, it's probably because Lili forgot, I'll let someone add it to you in a while, what's so worthy of your grievances." ”

"Mrs. is kind-hearted, but it doesn't matter if the eldest girl forgets this, but it makes the family look down on me, and I have been wondering why the maid has not looked at me right in the past two days, and I only understand the reason when I ask today, so what is the use of making up now. Besides, I didn't do it for one or two clothes, but when my wife said that, it seemed that I was narrow-minded, but I was really wronged. ”

"Look at you, you're overhearted." Zhu Shi shook his head, "It was a simple thing, I forgot about it at the time, and now it's the same to make up for it, or what do you want?" Or do you want to add an extra summer coat? ”

Aunt Xue took out a handkerchief and turned her face, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then turned around and said: "I don't want clothes, it's not interesting to ask for it like this, it's just that I begged the old lady a few days ago, I thought about it today, and finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds." As long as my wife agrees, I will not add new clothes in the future, and I will not have a second word. ”

Zhu immediately frowned slightly: "Although the batch of clothes in the master's hand was sold, it was only sold at the original price of the purchase that day, and he didn't earn a penny of silver at all, and as soon as the silver arrived that day, the master took it to his family to pay off the debt." ”

"I don't care about the master and the wife borrowing money, but ......" Aunt Xue paused, and then whispered, "Isn't there another shop under the name of the wife, although it was rented to the master to others two years ago, and now the lease period is almost full." I think that my wife rents to others is also rent, why not rent it to me, and help my poor brother, I will not give any less rent, and I will never let my wife suffer. And when the time comes, he will be directly transferring goods from the master's shop, not helping the master to pull up the business. Speaking of which, my younger brother is also a good hand at trading, but his luck has been a little bad in the past few years, but as long as the old lady is willing to pull it, it will be a big help for the old man in the future. ”

Zhu was stunned, it turned out that Aunt Xue had this idea, the shop was her dowry, two years ago, because Mo Liujin was short of silver in his hand, and his energy was not good, he couldn't take care of both, so she had to rent out the store at a low price for silver to save the emergency. In fact, there were still people who wanted to sell at a high price at that time, but she gritted her teeth and refused to sell it, just because if the Mo family had a chance in the future, she would at least have a store for Mo Xue.

Although the Zhu family is soft, they are not stupid, if this is really rented to Aunt Xue's brother, it will be equivalent to giving it to others for nothing. Mo said that it would be difficult to take back the store in the future, I am afraid that even Mo Liujin's store will be directly dragged down by her dissatisfied appetite!

"My aunt misunderstood, it's not that I forgot to add new clothes to my aunt two days ago, but that my aunt's number of new clothes this year has already been exceeded, so naturally I can't add more." The moment the room fell silent, Mo Li suddenly walked in from outside, and at the same time said something clearly.
