was discussing matters in the shop in Huangshi Town, Yufang came in and said, "Girl, Ren Gongzi is here." ”

Xie Wan turned his head and looked at the missing engraving on the table, it was time. "What's the matter?" she asked. ”

Yufang said: "I didn't say it, I said I wanted to see you." ”

Xie Wan was speechless, glanced at Luo Sheng, and Luo Sheng hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Out of the front yard, Ren Jun stood under the courtyard gate wearing a large black velvet cloak, holding a small porcelain jar in his hand, staring at the snow on the ground as if he was distracted.

Xie Wan coughed, and when he turned his head, he said softly, "Why is Third Brother Ren here so late?" ”

Ren Jun was stunned, and handed over the fish tank in his hand: "Thanks to the third sister for covering it up for me that night, these are the two small carps I caught in the ice river yesterday, it is quite interesting to look at, thinking that since you like Gu Youzhi's carp picture, maybe you also like carp, so I will give it to you, and it should be my gratitude." ”

Xie Wan looked at the fish tank under the lantern on the porch, a thin porcelain jar with a transparent white body, which contained half a tank of water, and two small golden carp that were two inches long. She said: "This fish will grow up, I'm afraid that the tank in my house can't be raised, there is a small fish pond in Qifeng Courtyard, so the third brother might as well give it to the second sister." ”

Ren Jun hurriedly said: "I can raise it!" Didn't you have a small pool in the courtyard of your yard? It's enough to keep these two fish. After finishing it, she couldn't help but put the fish tank in her hand, and said hurriedly: "It's late, I'll go back first." I'll talk to my sister another day! Then he rushed out of the porch, and his hurried appearance made Yufang laugh.

"This son is so interesting!"

Xie Wan didn't think it was interesting. Who said she likes carp? Besides, who is scarce about his gratitude?

She put the fish tank into Yufang's hand and said, "Since you think it's interesting, then you can raise it!" ”

When I got up the next morning, I couldn't help but wonder when I saw Xie Lang telling Wu Xing to go to the front yard with some paper and pencils.

Xie Lang stopped and explained: "Brother Jun will go back to the house today, and I will send it off." ”

Xie Wan calculated, Ren Jun had lived for more than ten days, and it was indeed time to leave, so he didn't think about it, and turned around and went back to the house.

Xie Lang said: "Aren't you going to say hello?" ”

She yawned and said, "I still have to go back to the room to make up for sleep, and my brother will go." ”

As the son of the Ren family, who wanted to stammer, wanted to go back to the house, and sent a lot of people, she decided to avoid him, where would she join in the fun.

Xie Lang felt sorry for his sister, of course he wouldn't force it.

Time is approaching the end of the year, and there are many people in each family who pay their accounts and rent and move around, and it is becoming more and more lively.

This time of year is always the busiest time for Wang, and this year is even different.

Xie Rong high school Jinshi, this is the great honor of the entire Xie family, although it is also the funeral of the second grandfather and two grandmothers in the house, can not be wantonly operated, and can not go around in the New Year, but these people still know the proportion, the New Year is not happy to move around, but there is no taboo years ago, the rich people all collected some pearls and jade gold to congratulate, and those who have no money also want to get some game to come to the door to respect.

The Wang family cooks in the morning every day, and they have to meet these people in the next day.

Although many of them are still tenants in the property and do not need to entertain them in person, Xie Qigong spoke, "The more this time, the more I must behave as a corporal of courtesy, so as to reflect my century-old Xie family style." "So no matter how high or low the status is, I have to come out and show up, ask a few questions, and then ask Xie Qigong or Tuesday to entertain the dinner according to the situation.

If the female dependents came, they had to be entertained by the Wang family or the Xie family in person, or they would be replaced by the Tuesday family.

So don't say that it's difficult for the young masters and girls to see her, even if the people around you want to come in and reply, they have to calculate the time.

The Wang family sent Lin Qianhu and the lady back, and Su Luo took the opportunity to hand over the tea to tell the Wang family: "Mrs. Do you still remember the last time when the slave maid went to check on the relationship between Young Master Lang and Yuxue, she mentioned that she went to Huangshi Town to meet Mrs. Li who was sent out by Lang Shaofa?" ”

Wang poured half a bowl of tea into his throat before saying, "What happened to Mrs. Li?" ”

"This time it's not about Mrs. Li, it's about her son Li Ershun." Su Luo leaned over and said, "When the people from Aconitum came to deliver the fox skin, they said that Li Ershun was beaten a few days ago, and two old whiplashes fell on his face, and it was none other than our Wan girl!" ”

"Sister Wan?!" Wang raised his head and said, "How could she beat Li Ershun?" ”

Su Luo said unhurriedly: "The slave maid also felt that it was impossible, so she asked a few questions. The lady of the Zhuang family said that Miss Wan beat him at the bridgehead in Huangshi Town, because Li Ershun was not filthy at the girl. In the days when my brothers and sisters went to live in Aconitum Village a few days ago, a few people saw this with their own eyes, so it spread behind their backs. The farmer's lady also said it casually. ”

Wang pondered for a while and said, "What is Sister Wan doing in Huangshi Town?" ”

Su Luo paused and said, "It turns out that the second room has rented a shop in Huangshi Town, and is going to do silk trading. Now that the shops are open, it's a local woman who is invited. Miss Wan went to Huangshi Town, but I was afraid that it was for the shop. ”

Wang sneered: "She's a big child, what kind of shop can she see?" ”

Su Luo said: "Even if you can't, you can also pass a word on behalf of Young Master Lang or something." Aconitum is close to Huangshi Town, and it is not impossible to bring a word by the way. ”

Wang nodded, and thoughtfully drank the tea in his hand.

Su Luo looked at his face and said, "The slave maid also inquired about one more thing, I heard that the three shops rented out in the second room are no longer renewed. ”

"Not renewing the lease?" Wang looked up, "Are they going to sell?" ”

"Madam," Su Luo leaned a little more and said, "I'm afraid that it's not for sale, but for Young Master Lang and they are going to do it themselves." ”

The opening of five shops at the same time is not a trivial matter, and the Wang family is a little unconvinced. "Have you inquired clearly?"

"It's true. The conversation came from the mouths of the tenants. The shops in our house are not far from theirs, and most of our news comes from them? The entire Qingyuan Prefecture is so big, there is no fake. ”

"What does he have to do?"

Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up. Remembering the heel planted in Xie Lang's hands because of the previous move of the yard, she bit her teeth tightly. At the beginning, even Xie Teng didn't dare to make such a big deal when he was alive, and opened a few shops in a row, did he, a half-grown child who had not dried up, think he could be better than his old man? Even if he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, it depends on whether he is capable enough to swallow these sheep!

She said: "When you are done with these few days, you bring Li Ershun over." After speaking, he said: "Forget it, I will go to my uncle's house in a few days, and let him come to Hammer Village when the time comes." ”

She had seven brothers and sisters, but five died in those years of famine, and later relied on the Wang family to remarry, so she left the eldest brother Wang En, who is now nearly seventy years old, and has two children and grandchildren in the suburbs of the hammer village guarding 20 acres of land to live.

Wang En did not marry before Wang married into Xie Mansion, until he received Xie Qigong's 300 taels of dowry, he married the daughter of the Mao family in Hexi as his wife, and when he gave birth to the eldest son, Wang En was already forty years old, so the two sons Wang Geng and Wang Fa were as old as the Xie family, and Wang Geng Wang Fa's children were also the same age as the brothers and sisters in the house.

The Wang family attaches great importance to his mother's family, so he always goes back to his mother's house on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month every year to send some fish and meat supplements or something.

Xie Wan didn't know the situation of Wang's mother's family in his previous life, and when he went to the room on the twenty-seventh day, he saw Zhang Luo of Tuesday's family talking about her affairs the next day, and after returning to the room, he couldn't help but ask about Wu's mother Wang's family.

In the previous life, the second room did not have much contact with the ancestral house at all, let alone the Wang family.

The Qi family is also a somewhat arrogant woman, and because of the Wang family, she is not very kind to see the Wang family. Therefore, Wu's mother knows only this, even how many children Wang Geng and Wang Fa have born, and they have never been married, so they still need to inquire temporarily. However, Luo Ju went out for a while and came back to tell Xie Wan:

Wang Geng married his wife He and gave birth to two daughters, the eldest daughter was named Wang Anmei, fourteen years old, and the second queen, An Di, ten years old. Because Wang Geng gave birth to two daughters in a row, he didn't have a good face for He's family. Wang Fa's wife Fu gave birth to two sons, the eldest son is called Wang Cheng, who is seven years old this year, and the second son, Wang Du, died in nine months. ”

provoked Wu's mother to laugh and scolded: "It's really a clever ghost, you have to be a shrewd and capable daughter-in-law to control you!" ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and the three words daughter-in-law came out of Wu's mother's mouth, Xie Wan couldn't help but think that Wu Xing was fifteen years old, and Xiu Gu was still growing vegetables in the countryside.

In his previous life, when Wu Xing was selling vegetables on the street, he met Xiugu in the vegetable market of Nanyuan County, Xiugu had no parents since she was a child, and lived with her uncle. Her aunt scolded her, and she later came out to grow vegetables for others, and she was bullied in the vegetable market alone, so Wu Xing saw it and saved her. Xiu Gu is the woman who knows the most about Entubao, and Wu Xing likes her kind-heartedness, so he took her back to Qi's house later.

Everyone also likes Aunt Xiu.

Xiugu, who entered the Qi family, regarded everyone as benefactors, Xie Wan's charcoal fire was extinguished in the winter, and she was shivering in the middle of the night, Xiugu climbed into bed and covered her feet in her stomach. After her uncle passed away, her aunt took over the needlework, and Xiu Gu took care of all the vegetable field and farm work at home. Xie Lang was broken and couldn't move in bed, and she took care of him for half a month in front of the bed.

Xie Wan thought of the kind and selfless Xiu Gu and shed tears.

I don't know if she has been bullied in this life?

She called Luo Ju, "You go to the shop and take two pieces of silk cloth and prepare two supplements to send to Qi Mansion, just say that my brother and I are giving my uncle and aunt's farewell gift." Then by the way, I went to the Nanyuan Vegetable Market to inquire if there was a girl from Qi'er Village named Xiugu. ”
