Xing Shuang was going to sell the Western carriage, but when Tie asked at this time, she shirked and said: "Don't hurt me, the cost of this carriage is not low, just to invite the foreign craftsman to stay for a day, it costs ten taels of silver per person." There are also parts of this car, which are even more trivial and dead. This car will be built, it will take half a month at least, if I give it to you, our lord will scold me to death. ”

Tie Shi hurriedly said: "Whoever has the face to ask you for it, you just have to make a price, and you don't have to limit how much." ”

Xing Shuang smiled and shook her head: "This can't be done, I don't know how much it costs, how to open my mouth at will." Besides, if you want it, how can I sell you, I have to give you one. It's just that you have to wait, and it will take a lot of time to make this one. ”

Tie Shi wanted to beg for it, and said to Xing Shuang impatiently: "I'll buy your car, okay?" I won't let you suffer, you go back and ask the price, I will charge you for this car at twice the price. ”

Xing Shuang covered her mouth and smiled, saying that Tie was "anxious like a monkey", and said: "If you like it, it's not impossible to give it to you." It's just that my body is heavy these days, and the old man built this car out because he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for me to go out. You also know how bumpy our car was in the past, and I will try it again in a few days, and I will have to use this car. ”

Only then did the Tie clan come to his senses, hurriedly apologized, and said: "Even so, I'm not in a hurry, I beg the general to build me another one, I can wait as long as I want." The price is still the same as before, I pay twice the cost to buy it? ”

Xing Shuang was stunned, covered half of her face with a handkerchief, and whispered to the Tie family: "Don't talk big, this car is really expensive." I heard our master say that this car is a trivial matter, and it is good to build it in the style of the West. But this car can be so stable, all thanks to a part on the car, called a spring. With it, the car can absorb shocks and sit without bumps. ”

Seeing that Xing Shuang was so mysterious, Tie Shi also leaned over on the other side and asked in a low voice, "What is this spring?" ”

Xing Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've only seen it once." Twisted and twisted, it looks like I've never seen it before. But according to our master, to make this spring, the blacksmith needs to spend more than ten days to beat it frequently, so as to ensure that the spring will not break when the car is moving. ”

Tie Shi was confused, but she had a close relationship with Xing Shuang on weekdays, and she knew that Xing Shuang was kind, so she didn't think much about it, but it was really difficult to make, and she begged bitterly for a while.

"No matter how expensive it is, I really love this car, our lord is old, he always didn't sleep well in the past, and when he met to go to court, he was always drowsy. The car is stable, and it also allows him to sleep a little more in front of the upward court. Good sister, please, remember my car first. ”

Xing Shuang heard her say this, so she nodded and agreed "embarrassed", and hurriedly added: "It's not a matter if I promise to come down, I have to agree to our master." ”

Tie Shi smiled: "I know, you just have to say, who doesn't know that the general loves you the most, it is your words, and even the moon has been plucked for you." ”

Xing Shuang sent the Tie clan to the door of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and then turned around and went home. She first went to Zhijietang to tell the Wang family about the situation of sending Yuanchun in the morning, which made her feel at ease, and then went to Xianhe Hall to see Jia's mother, and then returned to Qingyuan.

As soon as he entered the house, Xing Shuang said to the attacker: "Go and inform the craftsmen in the house that there are still ten carriages to be built." ”

The attacker was blessed, went out to the porch, handed over the matter of the message to Yu Chuan, and returned to the house.

Xing Shuang asked her again, "What's the matter in the morning?" ”

Seeing that the second girl and the third girl were there, the wife did not shy away from it, so she opened her mouth and said, "It's nothing else, it's just that Sister-in-law Qing came to settle the accounts for the past year." ”

Xing Shuang nodded, asked the attacker to bring the account, and let her read it out in front of the spring festival.

The two girls sat and listened, their eyes widening as they listened. Especially Tanchun, when I heard the final total, people couldn't sit still.

"Mother, do we have so much income?"

Xing Shuang laughed: "This is not our family, now the keys to the housekeeper are in the hands of your grandmother, and these are my private property." This education is what I opened with your godfather, and your godfather is a shareholder with knowledge, and I am half with him. ”

Tanchun asked in surprise: "Cultivation is the mother's industry?" But why does the mother call the mother a godfather to the outside world? ”

Xing Shuang smiled again and said the truth here, Yingchun didn't understand it a little when she heard it, but she also remembered it silently, but Tanchun seemed to understand it, and nodded frequently.

Xing Shuang didn't say anything, and asked the attacker: "Have you ever recovered all the dividends of last year?" ”

The attacker said: "It's all taken back, Muxing is 15,000 taels, Grange is 3,000 taels, and Gusu is 100,000 taels." ”

Xing Shuang asked again: "Did the 100,000 taels go to my eldest brother's dividends, or did I get it from my side?" ”

Attacker: "I haven't gone to the eldest uncle's dividends, because the eldest uncle has something to ask his wife, saying that the second uncle is also old, the eldest aunt and the second aunt have been settled, and the second uncle has not yet landed, is it time to find a home for the second uncle." ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "He's in a hurry, the man is in his thirties, even if he waits for a few more years, he is not in a hurry, and now he is just in his early twenties, so what to do with each other." ”

Yes, although Xing's age in the book is about the same as Wang's, in fact, when Xing Shuang came through, he was only twenty-two. Xing Dequan and Xing Zhong are both younger brothers, so naturally they are not very old. Xing Zhong's eldest brother was only twenty years old at that time, and Xing Dequan was only eighteen at that time.

Now only four or five years have passed, and Xing Dequan is only twenty-three years old.

At the age of twenty-three, even in modern times, it can be regarded as an early marriage. Everything in Jiafu has to be done according to the rules, but the affairs of the Xing family are Xingshuang's mother's family, and it is not up to the Jiafu to decide, but it can be pushed again.

The attacker persuaded: "More than twenty is considered late, and the brother of the slave maid's neighbor is considered to be late to get married, and he has just become married in his twenties." A few years later, I'm afraid that I will be dragged to say that my wife is not. ”

Xing Shuang smiled and shook her head: "He is different from my second brother, what was my second brother like in the past, others don't know, haven't you heard of it?" If he is able to sit firmly, I will not hinder him from marrying. There is a saying in this world that Jiangshan is easy to change his nature and is difficult to change, he is a person who loves to eat and gamble, and if he doesn't completely change his bad habits, I won't spoil other girls. ”

Yingchun heard this a little earlier, and his eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he felt more and more that his mother must have deliberately hidden it before, she was obviously a person who had hills and valleys in her heart, and was honest and selfless.

"Mother, I don't know if my daughter should ask if she has a word."

Xing Shuang looked at Tanchun and smiled slightly: "Ask." ”
