Mrs. Wu placed Sister Wu Xiaojian in the back cover room of her house, let her nurse teach her the rules, and called a close big girl to serve her, and bought two little maids to come in and learn the rules with the big girl, and then follow Sister Wu Xiaojian to Yu's house in the future.

Sister Wu Xiaoxian was not very willing, and she was a little absent-minded when she learned the rules.

Mrs. Wu saw it in her eyes, was anxious, and persuaded her from time to time: "The young master of the Yu family is not only a scholar and a first, but also young and handsome, although you used to be a concubine, but Mrs. Yu is only the age of knowing the destiny of heaven this year, and her health is good, if you give birth to the eldest son, how can Mrs. Yu help bring it to the year of the weak crown." What do you have to worry about? ”

But after all, it is necessary to be low in front of people.

Sister Wu Xiaojian muttered in her heart, thinking that the matter had come to this point, if she said no, her father and sister would probably be difficult to attach themselves to in the clan...... I thought I was dead, and I changed the good life of my father and sister. Thinking about it like this, he changed his mood again, and only begged Mrs. Wu: "If the people in the family ask, they only say that I have passed away." ”

Mrs. Wu frowned slightly, thought about it, and nodded slightly.

Sister Wu Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and began to seriously follow Mrs. Wu's nurse to learn the rules.

Mrs. Wu invited someone to help Sister Wu Xiaojian make clothes for the four seasons at home, and thought that all the good things stored in her warehouse were good, so Sister Wu Xiaojian was going to be a concubine, and she couldn't wear it like a grandmother in the main house, right?

When she brought a letter to the tailor's shop to measure the size, she also brought a few new rulers in Beijing and in fashion.

The tailor's shop is well-known in Kyoto, and the shop is located in the Tsubaki Hutong next to it, and the people in the left and right alleys will ask him to do any work. Because they were in and out of the inner courtyard, and they were some big customers, the tailor's Hun family came to measure the size in person.

She measured the size of Sister Wu Xiaojian, and praised Sister Wu Xiaojian for her beauty: "...... At first glance, it is Madame's maiden family! ”

"Then you're wrong." Everyone loves to hear good things. What's more, Sister Wu Xiaoxian is indeed beautiful, Mrs. Wu smiled, "This is the niece of our master." ”

"Ouch", the tailor said with a smile, "No wonder I see that the young master and the little sister of your mansion are all very peugeot." It turned out to be like Master Wu. As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Wu carefully, "It can be seen that Mrs. and Master are a match made in heaven, and there are husband and wife statues." ”

The flattery made Mrs. Wu laugh heartily.

The tailor's Hun family looked at the good atmosphere, and took the opportunity to take a peach-colored Hangzhou silk material embroidered with a tender yellow flower butterfly pattern and came out: "What do you think of this horse?" This year, the new style of Jiangnan weaving, the wife of Lord Zhao's family next door made a small jacket for their sister, and she wore it brilliantly. ”

Mrs. Wu looked at the material pink and gorgeous. Tender yellow and delicate, she is already a little willing, and I heard that Zhao Ling's daughter also made one, and I think it is even better.

The mother who served next to her smiled and said, "Such a good color, I don't know how much a horse is?" ”

The tailor's Hun family smiled: "If it is placed in someone else's house, it is naturally expensive, but it can be in the house." There is nothing expensive, but twelve taels of silver a horse. ”

So expensive!

A hint of hesitation flashed between Mrs. Wu's eyebrows.

The mother who served next to her was a clever person. immediately said: "It's good, but our little sister is going to wear it to meet guests." Mrs. Yu is also famous for her love of plainness, ma'am. I think it's better to put it aside first, and if you can't pick out a more suitable one, then make a plan. ”

Mrs. Wu pretended to nod her head and let the tailor's Hun family take it aside.

The tailor's Hun family is a sharp-eyed person, knowing that Mrs. Wu is reluctant, so she is silent. I took the second-class material and came out. Mrs. Wu picked up the plain and made a few sets of clothes for Sister Wu Xiaoxian, and made a fixed amount of silver. The tailor's Hun family packed up his things. smiled: "Sister Xiaoyi, do you want to make a few pairs of Songjiang cloth socks?" The wife of Lord Zhao's family next door made a few small clothes for their eldest son, and there was a fraction left, if the little sister wanted to add a few pairs of socks, I helped to make them and send them over, which is my filial piety to my wife. ”

It means that it is given away for free.

Mrs. Wu was embarrassed and said with a smile: "You also need to add a few pairs of socks, but you don't have to give them away for free, just count them in your salary according to the price on the market." ”

The Hun family said a lot of words of thanks, but in the end, Mrs. Wu refused politely and reluctantly accepted the socks.

After retreating, Sister Wu Xiaojian quietly asked the people serving beside her: "What does Lord Zhao next door do?" ”

The servant next to him said with a smile: "Zhao Da is the chief soldier, his parents are gone, and their family is headed by his wife." He sighed again, "The eldest sister of the Zhao family is only three years old this year, and the eldest young master is only six months old!" ”

Sister Wu Xiaoyan couldn't help but be speechless when she heard it.

Thinking that his sister is thirteen years old this year, and she has never worn a new dress, the little sister and young master of the Zhao family are still ignorant children, so they wear clothes of twelve taels of silver each, and they really have a different fate......

Over there, Mrs. Wu also smiled: "I didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to be generous!" ”

The serving mother smiled: "After all, it is the eldest son and the eldest daughter. And I heard that Lord Zhao is proficient in general affairs, and he earned a lot of money in the family business when he was in Shaanxi in the past. ”

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said, "For this year's New Year's Festival, the Zhao family will add another ten taels of silver...... No, twenty taels of silver! ”

Mom smiled in response.

And Fu Tingyun was worried about the silver at this time: "...... Eight thousand taels of silver, to be paid in one go, not a penny less? ”

Yu smiled bitterly and nodded: "The tooth man is waiting outside." said that if it is inconvenient for a while, the other courtyards of two or three houses will also be sold. It's just ten acres smaller than this courtyard, and there are several other courtyards separated from that Yuming Mountain. Unlike the current courtyard, the back is just looking at Yuming Mountain. ”

Fu Tingyun carefully recalled the scene when he went to see the other courtyard: "That can't be done. There are several courtyards separated by a few courtyards, and in the summer, the cool breeze can't blow, and the courtyard is bought in vain. In this case, you can go back to the tooth man, saying that the price is too high, and he can't get so much silver at hand for a while, so let him bother to help us find another yard, it doesn't matter if it's smaller, but it's closer to Yuming Mountain. ”

Yuwei hesitated and said, "Madam, otherwise, use the money sent back to Xi'an first......

Fu Tingyun shook his head: "That's for Assen to buy a field, seeing that it's the beginning of winter, it's time for the people who want to sell the field, it's a big deal over there, the other courtyard can't buy a suitable one this year, and it's not too late to buy it next year." ”

Yuwei didn't say anything more. I went to the outer courtyard to spread the word.

Fu Tingyun was calculating the account in his heart.

Zhao Ling also came back with five or six thousand taels of silver for more than a year, and she saved them all, counting the original family background, the sum of seventy-seven eighty-eight also added up to eight or nine thousand taels of silver. Xi'an sent 2,000 taels of silver to help Ah Sen buy some land, and 6,000 taels of silver...... The marriage of the gold ingots is scheduled for March 12 next year. When the time comes, she will have to use the pen and money, and she is also thinking about buying a grange and shop near Kyoto. It seems that if you want to buy a suitable courtyard, you will have to wait another year.

Thinking of this, she simply left the matter of buying another courtyard behind, and wondered whether it would be more profitable to buy a grange or a shop...... Whether it is a grange or a shop, there is a profit, but the grange depends on the sky to eat. If the wind and rain are good, it is just a smooth collection of rent, and if the year is not good, you have to give some seeds on credit to help you tide over the difficulties; The income of the shop is more stable, but the investment is large, and if you want to recover the capital, you have to take more than ten or twenty years...... It's best to do something small with your own shop...... When Yuwei replied to the tooth man and came to tell her, she instructed Yuwei: "You talk to the people in the outer courtyard." If Uncle Kim comes, please invite him to the hall of the main house. I have something to discuss with him. ”

Yu replied slightly, but his expression showed a little hesitation.

Fu Tingyun said curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Yuwei didn't make a sound.

Fu Tingyun went to the ear room of the inner room with her to talk.

Yu whispered: "This year, it was a brother of Sister Yitong's who came to give the fifth master silver, and he asked someone to give me a message. said that he was entrusted by Yitong and had something for me. Let me meet at a restaurant called 'Zeng Ji' outside Xizhimen...... You see......"

"Yitong is very safe, her brother doesn't want to come to the door, or doesn't want to cause trouble, and doesn't enter our door, just because he doesn't know that I'm still alive. Cover your ears and steal the bell. Confused when you understand it; Or don't want people to find out that he has come to our house, in case he is asked by someone from the Fu family. It's hard to shirk. We don't need to worry about that, since he asked you to go, you can go. Fu Tingyun said, "I'll talk to Zheng San, he knows what to do." ”

Yuwei's expression was relieved when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "I also think that I should go to see the last one, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." ”

Fu Tingyun laughed: "It's just a restaurant, if we go back to the Fu family in Huayin one day, it will be the Longtan Tiger's Den!" ”

Yuwei raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I always follow my wife, wherever my wife goes, I will go." ”

The two laughed and talked a few words, Fu Tingyun asked Pearl to go and talk back to Zheng San, and the next day, Yuwei took Zheng San's car to Xizhimen.

They returned at noon.

Yuwei's face was very pale.

Fu Tingyun handed Brother Xi in his arms to the nurse, dropped half of the meal, and entered the ear room of the inner room with her.

Before she could speak, Yuwei said, "The young grandmother is gone!" ”

Fu Tingyun's head buzzed, his heart was empty, the corners of his mouth were twitching, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Yu said in a deep voice: "Sister Yitong follows your instructions, what news does the young grandmother want to inquire, she will try her best to tell the young grandmother who is serving around her." During the Chinese New Year, the eldest lord returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the eldest young grandmother begged the eldest lord to help find Zuo Junjie, but was not only scolded by the eldest lord, but also reprimanded by Mrs. Tai.

The eldest young grandmother didn't say anything at the time, and when it came to the Dragon Boat Festival to worship the ancestors, she made a fuss in front of the whole clan, saying that the heir had married a daughter-in-law, and she was worthy of the ancestors of the Fu family.

"At that time, everyone was stunned.

The ancestor of the sixth room asked the eldest and young grandmother what was wrong, and the eldest and young grandmother didn't say anything, just cried and begged the old ancestor to take pity on her for so many years in the Fu family, and let her go to Biyun Nunnery to practice. Mrs. Tai was so angry that her face turned pale. When several old ladies saw it, they didn't dare to say much, and the ancestors of the Dragon Boat Festival also dispersed happily.

Afterwards, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai went to the main hall with the grandmother and asked the grandmother to explain clearly what she wanted to do. The eldest young grandmother said that she got the news, Zuo Junjie is in the hands of Yu Jingxiu, the eldest son of the Yu family in Kyoto, and your business is all caused by the fact that Yu Gongzi despised the Fu family and wanted to withdraw from the marriage to lure Zuo Junjie, and now you are still alive, please let Zuo Junjie confront you in the ancestral hall and clear the stigma of Zuo Junjie and you.

Mrs. Tai was so angry that she fainted.

"The eldest lady asked the eldest and young grandmothers to go back, and all the people who served around her were sold and replaced with new people.

"Sister Yitong didn't dare to pass the word to the young grandmother anymore.

"Who knew that on September 26, the young master of the five rooms and the bride who had just married went to the temple to see the ceremony, and opened the door of the ancestral hall, but saw that the eldest young grandmother had been hanged on the beam of the ancestral hall.

"Now people in Huayin are spreading that the Fu family deceived the world and stole their reputation, abused the widowed daughter-in-law, and forced the widowed daughter-in-law to hang herself......"
