The Xu family.

The eldest grandmother Dou Li, the second grandmother Wang Yingying, and the third grandmother Guo Meiyu, one wrapped in a blanket, sat in the lobby of the main courtyard, shivering at the stove, and a little uneasy.

Guo Meiyu's right arm was hanging, and she fell from the car today, which was really nerve-wracking.

The Xu family has a total of six sons, the fourth and fifth are now running a business and have not returned home yet.

As for the sixth child, don't mention it, the entire Xu family has such a fool, and he rarely goes home all year round.

There was a lot of chaos outside.

Because they didn't know the specific situation of the pirates, the family had to guard the door, the guards in the front yard were all unsheathed, and many healthy servants in the backyard also carried sticks in their hands.

The mother-in-law and the maids looked terrified, and crowded into the corner of the door like a swarm, but they were silent and could be heard of falling needles.

It wasn't until the subordinate sent by Xu Dafu to report the news came back with a message that the atmosphere relaxed a little.

The eldest grandmother suddenly became energetic, sat up straight, and instructed the maids around her, Sujuan and Ximei: "Go and tell the kitchen to boil two pots of ginger soup, and send it to the brothers guarding the door outside, and you can drink some yourself." ”

The second grandmother also said: "It's cold, it's really frozen, it's really frozen, go quickly, Qin Se, you can also help." ”

The second grandmother of the Xu family often likes to say goodbye to the eldest grandmother, and she doesn't have any deep hatred, but the eldest grandmother is from a scholarly family and is literate and hyphenates, but the second grandmother is a rude person who doesn't know a single big word, so naturally she can't say anything.

The two of them live in a family, often touching their tongues with their teeth, and there are some small disputes.

However, with the old lady of the Xu family pressing on it, the relationship between the eldest master and the second master is also close, and there is no major incident.

After a few words of gossip, the eldest grandmother glanced at her concubines vaguely and whispered: "What is the origin of our sixth brother and sister?" ”

The corners of the second grandmother Wang Yingying's mouth twitched, and she frowned: "Chengxi Tofu Workshop, Old Man Fang's daughter, Old Man Fang has been sending tofu to our family, my ancestors have lived in Nan'an City for generations, and I have an innocent background, so it stands to reason that ......"

It stands to reason that the daughter raised in the tofu workshop can't cut a sea coat like a melon, no matter what.

"Fang's body and bones are not good, he fell ill after being hired, and he drank medicine for several days, and the doctor said that he could only raise him, and he couldn't even do that kind of thing."

The third grandmother, Guo Meiyu, raised her eyebrows and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you carry a vase into the door?" What's the use! ”

Wang Yingying's face did not change, and said softly: "After all, it is for the sixth child to be hired seriously, it is quite painful, the body bones are not good, and the slow recuperation is, there will always be a good day." ”

The others didn't say anything.

lives under one roof, in fact, everyone knows that Wang Yingying is angry with her mother-in-law, and only this year did she carry concubines to the family one after another, and threw a large amount of money outside.

I don't see her mean person on weekdays.

But if anyone really gets favored, she will be angry.

Don't say anything else, just look at the ones she hired back from beginning to end, they don't look ugly, but they can't even compare to the maids in the family.

In the end, she wanted to accept this Fang clan, but she was squeezed by her mother-in-law for a few words, and she was angry for a while, so she was impulsive, and as soon as she said it, she regretted it in her heart.

If this really enters the door, it is a good concubine, and the status of a son and her child is not much different.

Now let the sixth child cut off his beard, not to mention how happy he is in his heart, and even to his mother-in-law, he has a little more filial piety.

After Fang's family entered the door, she was the only one who asked for warmth, and when she was a sister-in-law, she seemed to be more worried than being a mother.

The concubines of large families have always been a little unruly that cannot be moved to the table, and the Xu family is already considered a harmonious family in the eyes of outsiders.

The grandmothers were very flustered, and the three brothers of the Xu family also sat in the garden pavilion, drinking two sips of wine while roasting the fire.

Xu Dafu squinted his eyes and thought about things in his heart.

After a while, Lao Hei hurriedly came, shook off the snowflakes on his leather jacket, and then entered the pavilion: "Master." ”

Xu Dafu handed over the wine jug on the table, Lao Hei poured two sips, and then said in a low voice: "The tofu shop of the Dongfang family in the city has been open in Nan'an City for 30 years, and when the old man Fang was still alive, he sent tofu to our family, and his net worth was innocent." ”

"The sixth grandmother is indeed the eldest daughter of their family, and she has lived in Nan'an City for 14 years, as evidenced by her neighbors."

"It is rumored that the mother of the sixth grandmother is a maid of a large family, and she is also literate and hyphenated, and the main family had an accident, was sold, and was inadvertently taken to Nan'an City, which was bought by Old Man Fang."

"As for who the sixth grandmother's kung fu inheritance came from, it is not clear."

As he spoke, Lao Hei took out a stack of bamboo paper from his sleeve.

The two brothers came over and opened it, but they were shocked.

Xu Dafu's hands trembled for a long time, swept away the messy food and wine jugs on the table, and carefully put the bamboo paper on the stone table, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water is more flowing, and the glass is more sorrowful. Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads the ......"

"Good poetry, good poetry!"

Xu Dafu chanted it several times in a row, and couldn't help but admire, "The words are good!" ”

The two brothers sighed, and then flipped through the pages, the contents of these bamboo papers were messy, or a painting, or two lines of words, scattered, but they both fascinated them.

The literary style of Nan'an City is not prosperous, and it is often ridiculed as a barren place.

Not to mention women, even men, as long as they can read and write a good hand, they can be cast under the king of Nan'an County to be a Qingke master.

A merchant like the Xu family, there has never been a learned person in the three generations of grandparents, if they can read books, where will they still be business?

Shinong industry and commerce, being a businessman is no matter how rich he is, and there is no way to let others knead and pinch it.

Although he is indeed uneducated, it doesn't mean that they won't appreciate it, Xu Dafu's wife is from a scholar's family, which shows that he admires scholars more, and he also collects books on the market to decorate the façade.

What's more, there are some things that ordinary old men on the street can see if they look good or bad.

At this moment, in front of them, the things that were mixed up and discarded were all slightly framed and taken directly as gifts, and they were not disgraced at all.

Xu Dafu was surprised: "Where did this talented person come from?" ”

Xu Erfuden laughed: "No matter what you do, it's just a woman, are you still afraid that she is a robber and bandit?" ”

He curled up his legs, his feet rubbing against the bluestone floor.

Although the name is rustic, Xu Erfu is a good person, especially a pair of eyes, slightly picked, always with three points of evil, according to the late old man, it is born with a romantic species.

"Now that he has become an in-law, the tofu money will be doubled when it is settled, and people will buy his old man's shop, and the title deed and house deed will be sent."

Master Xu nodded: "It should be." ”

Remembering that at that time, the Fang clan took the golden hairpin to cut the horse's belly, and also blocked Haikou's knife, his expression was distorted, "I will go back and tell your sister-in-law to buy a few more sets of head and face jewelry for my younger brother and sister, she didn't bring much dowry when she came, and now I am afraid that I will not make money in the money, and it will not hurt to pay the monthly money in advance." ”
