Mrs. Zhang was full of joy and nodded like pounded garlic: "Madam is really a bodhisattva!" ”

Mother Li asked someone to take Xiuzhi, who had changed her name to Puyu, to retreat.

Puyu greeted Mrs. Zhang with a smile: "You have to remember to help me water my chili peppers, and you have to come to see me often!" ”

A trace of sadness flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, and she nodded heavily.

The rest of the story was a bit lackluster.

Several little girls answered Li's questions in an orderly manner, and they were basically articulate. Three of the six are outstanding. One was the first to stand up, named Geng Xianglian, who just turned ten years old this year, does not know how to read, but can plan to speak, and speaks concisely and neatly. The other is Lu Jinzhi, who is nine years old this year, and when he answered Li's question, he took the opportunity to promote himself and said that he would go to the stove. There is another one like Geng Xianglian, who is also ten years old, at a young age, but his face is like a peach blossom, his eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and his appearance is very outstanding.

When Li asked, Aunt Chen looked at the one named Geng Xianglian from time to time.

After Li finished asking, Wang's mother pointed at Geng Xianglian and smiled: "Madam, you said that it was a coincidence that it was the same name as the big girl released in the aunt's house." ”

Li Shi smiled faintly and said, "Hmm." This kid is really good. I will take it down to take it down to take care of it, okay, stay and pull it out to serve in the girl's house, if it doesn't work, find Mrs. Zhang to take it away. ”

When the little girls heard this, their expressions immediately became nervous.

Mother Wang glanced at Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen lowered her eyelids and couldn't see any expression.

Li called Wang's mother and Mrs. Zhang to hand over the silver, and Li's mother withdrew with a few newly bought little girls.

Mrs. Zhang's face smiled like a flower, and she and Wang's mother finalized the big three taels of silver and the small five taels of silver, and completed the sale. She took the silver to Li to say goodbye, and Li rewarded her with a tael of silver and a moon-white silk satin. Zhang Po happily took it, thanked and thanked, and then said goodbye, and took a few little girls who were not selected and left.

And so the morning passed. Shen Muqing accompanied the Li family to lunch, and Wang's mother came in and said, "Madam, Fu Yuanxing sent eels and oranges over." As he spoke, he turned around and winked at Shen Muqing, "That eel is still alive in the barrel, do you want to go and see it!" ”

Shen Muqing nodded invisibly and said with a smile: "Eel?" I haven't seen a live eel yet! ”

Seeing her full of interest, Li Shi smiled: "Go!" Go ahead! Remember to come back early, and I'll go to the rich daughter-in-law later. ”

Shen Muqing responded with a smile and went out with Wang's mother.

When she walked to the hall, Wang's mother said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu is here—the girl's foot, you have to take a look at it early." There was a deep apology in her voice.

Shen Muqing glanced at Mother Wang gratefully.

The two returned to Anyuan from the sandwich road outside Chaoxi Hall, and Mr. Liu was already waiting in the building.

Wang's mother took the breeze and dispersed it.

Mr. Liu sniffed it, picked a little more and put it in his mouth to taste, and couldn't help shouting: "Who opened this recipe, this is not a bad injury, what kind of realgar and musk are used...... Use my homemade red jade paste! ”

Luo Mei hurriedly fetched water to wash Shen Mu's feet, re-applied the red jade paste made by Mr. Liu, and sent Shen Muqing back to the Li family.

Shen Muqing followed Jincai's daughter-in-law to learn how to make rice cakes in the afternoon, and pinched a full steamer with dough rabbits and ponies, but at dinner, the maids and daughters-in-law of Chaoxi Hall ate all rice cakes.

When he returned to the house at night, Shen Muqing looked at his feet first, and there seemed to be no obvious effect. Thinking of the slow efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, Shen Muqing had no choice but to endure the pain and wait patiently.

The little maid came in and put on the lamp, she leaned barefoot on the big pillow and embroidered a handkerchief for Princess Zhen'an by the light on the kang table. Just after a few stitches, Shen Yuerong came, and she also took her needlework. The two talked and laughed, and looked at the darkness of the night, and then Shen Yuerong returned to the Xiangpu Garden.

Two days later, Mr. Shen came to Shen Muqing to reply to him, saying that the letter and Shen Zhen's handwritten letter had been sent to the Xiangfa silk cloth shop in Wuyiku Hutong in Jinchengfang, and the two masters, Chang and Sun, had also gone to worship.

"Do you know who the owner of the Xiangfa silk shop is?" Shen Muqing thought for a long time, but he couldn't help but ask.

Manager Wang smiled meaningfully: "It's the Xiao family in Lincheng, Shanxi." But that shop belongs to Master Ye Suye. ”

Shen Muqing was slightly surprised.

Jinchengfang's Wuyiku Hutong is a place dedicated to hoarding battle robes and armor for the military department, Ye Su as the household department, the shop was rented to the Xiao family to open a silk shop there, what is the mystery of this, it is self-evident. It's no wonder that it was Manager Wang, and his face couldn't help revealing a few different colors.

"You sent the sticker over, didn't there be any reaction over there?"

"It was the big shopkeeper who took it, rewarded the little servant with five taels of silver per person, and said that he would come to visit the master in two days."

Is Xiao Sa coming over?

Shen Muqing's mind flashed the handsome face with an arrogant expression.

What kind of expression will you have when you come to meet Shen Zhen...... Is it a humble look but a proud look? Is it the edge of the unbridled flying? Or, downright generous, neither humble nor arrogant......

She thought it was funny.

However, it is really strange why I didn't expect him to be nervous and shy......

Shen Muqing leaned his elbows, pinched his jaw, and suddenly looked forward to Xiao Sa's arrival.

"Girl, do you want to give an explanation to the porter," Mr. Wang peeked at Shen Muqing's expression, "so as not to snub others." ”

"No!" Shen Muqing was already smiling at the corner of his eyes, "This person, there are many ways." You don't care. As he spoke, he thought of the two masters, Chang and Sun, and his eyes couldn't help but darken, "Master Chang and Master Sun, how is the dart game arranged?" ”

"Master Chang has a high hall and a wife and children, and the bureau bought twenty acres of land, a horse, and a cart in his hometown, and gave him a hundred taels of silver. Master Sun's parents died early and did not start a family, so they were all converted into silver and given to a nephew of his own family, and asked him to build a tomb and erect a monument to offer incense. When Mr. Wang said it, he was also a little shuffled.

Shen Muqing groaned: "Do you know where Master Chang's hometown is?" ”

"It's in Cangzhou, not far from here."

"Is there any brother in his family who can help him?"

"said that in the early years, there was a brother who quarreled with his parents and ran away from home, and he has not been heard from for nearly 20 years."

That is to say, the old old, the small one, twenty acres of land, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, must be smooth in the wind and rain, so as not to be strong enough for the family to live for a year. One hundred taels of silver, whether there is entry or exit......

"Do you know when they will return to Cangzhou?"

"Said that when I finished Master Chang's Qiqi, I would go back."

Shen Muqing sighed: "Let Master Chang's daughter-in-law come and quit me before she goes back!" ”

Manager Wang nodded and said, "Do you want me to tell the master and give the girl some silver from the account in the outer courtyard." ”

"You can afford as much as you can!" There is more money than the days, although Shen Muqing has private money in her hand, but when she has to fill the hole, she will not be polite at all.

******

Xiao Sa really came two days later.

That day was Shen Zhen's rest day, their family had just finished breakfast, Shen Zhen and Li sat on the parquet bed near the window in the west, Shen Yuerong and Shen Muqing sat on a small pestle next to the bed on the right and left, and Aunt Chen, Wang's mother, and Tian's mother stood aside with their hands down, watching Dashe standing in the middle of the room shaking his head and reciting the "Three Character Classic".

"Not bad, not bad." Boss Shen Zhen was relieved and looked at Mother Tian with a smile, "You take good care of it!" ”

This Tian's mother was originally Aunt Chen's nursing sister, and she grew up with Aunt Chen since she was a child, and she was like a sister. Her own child died less than a month after she was born, and she was angry with her husband's family for this matter, so she went to the Shen family to be a nurse. Hearing Shen Zhen say this, her eyes rolled slightly, she hurriedly curtsied, and said with a smile: "The master praised it." Speaking of which, it's all my aunt's work - I taught my brother to recognize a word every night......"

When Aunt Chen heard this, she knelt down with a panicked expression: "Master, the concubine has no other intentions, she just teaches to play first, but I didn't expect Brother She to have a good memory, as soon as he learns, the concubine will see it, and this is the ...... There is no such arrogance......" said as he peeked at Shen Zhen's expression.

Li's brows frowned almost invisibly, and he smiled and said, "Look at you, the master doesn't mean to blame." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Zhen with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, I missed the inspection, but I didn't expect Brother She to be so smart and able to read at such a young age." However, children's enlightenment is a big event, not just to recognize a few words, but also to learn the truth of being a person and doing things. Otherwise, I am also a person who has studied private school for more than ten years, and I didn't dare to teach a word when I sent my sister. ”

Shen Zhen nodded and said to Aunt Chen, "You get up." ”

Aunt Chen replied with a low "yes" and stood up with some cringe.

Shen Zhen discussed with the Li family: "I think, since Dashe has this talent, it is better to invite a gentleman to sit at home after the New Year, and let Brother She enter school early." ”

Li smiled: "It's best that the master decided like this. As the saying goes, teach students according to their aptitude. Looking at Brother She's momentum, my family is afraid that we are going to be in and out of Jinshi again. After speaking, he looked at Da She and laughed, "Brother She, did you say it!" ”

Small children are the most sensitive.

He looked at Aunt Chen, who was drooping her eyelids and bowing her head, and then looked at the smiling Li family, who was expecting Ai Ai, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Shen Zhen couldn't help but joke: "I hope it's not like a dead book." ”

Li said with a smile: "He is still young and unqualified, who he follows and learns." If you find him a gentleman, he will naturally become successful. ”

As he was talking, a small servant came in and passed the word: "The household department asked Ye Su and Xiao Sa to see the master in the matter." ”

Shen Zhen was very dazed, but he still heard Shen Muqing's "ah", and then he remembered who Xiao Sa was.

He let out an "oh", and first ordered Ouyang Hui to see Xiao Sa, who had been with Shen Zhen for nearly thirty years.

Shen Zhen didn't meet Xiao Sa at all......

Shen Muqing was a little embarrassed.

She always forgets Shen Zhen's identity......

The little servant left in response, Shen Zhen turned around, and when the corner of his eyes swept over Shen Muqing, he changed his mind again: "Invite them to sit in the flower hall." ”
