Mama Qi happened to come back with Xie Yun, and when she saw that the atmosphere in the house was very good, she also smiled and said: "Our Brother Yun took the errand to the He family and the grandfather Huang family in the west of the city, and we will go when the rain stops tomorrow." My wife asked if my grandmother was getting better. I also brought two packets of Ningxia's big wolfberries to my grandmother, so that my grandmother could use them to make tea and drink them on weekdays. ”

Huang glanced at the two bags in her hand, and said lightly, "Let it go." He beckoned Xie Yun to come close and asked him about his homework.

Xie Wan looked outside and saw that the rain had stopped, so he got up and said goodbye. Huang stayed for dinner, she said: "My brother told me not to cause trouble to the third aunt. I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”

Huang praised the good child a few times, and asked the maid to send her back.

Xie Wei came back after sending it to the threshold, and returned to the bed and said to Huang: "How did my mother know that someone was there, and she also talked to Mama Qi in private?" When I slept in the back room with my third sister, I heard it clearly! Fortunately, she fell asleep and did not hear. ”

Huang smiled: "She just hears it, what can she understand?" Why are you so careful? After speaking, he was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help nodding: "What you said is also true, this kid is too smart, whether in front of me or in front of my wife, it is impossible to find a little mistake, and it makes people a little less vigilant." ”

Xie Wei said: "Mother doesn't have to think about it, it's important to recuperate." I'm not a villain, she's only eight years old. When I was eight years old, I didn't know what it meant to be ashamed! Where do you understand what is right and wrong? It's just that my father always taught me that it is necessary to guard against others, and I just do things to prepare for a rainy day. ”

Huang smiled and patted the back of his daughter's hand: "Good girl." Your father is good at everything, and his children are good at teaching. ”

Xie Wei threw herself into her arms and said with a smile: "Mother is indispensable!" ”

After two more days of rain, the winter sun peeked out of the clouds, and the people's spirits were greatly lifted.

The buddies in the province began to deliver cakes to neighboring provinces. This is a local traditional custom, every year before the Laba Festival, each family will make some cakes and fruit snacks, and give them to relatives and friends to celebrate auspiciously.

Xie Lang also went, even if the Wang family didn't order, he would also go to his uncle's house to give gifts. Because the Ren family and the Qi family are in Nanyuan County, Xie Lang is with Xie Tong, who went to the Ren family. But because he still has to go to Yang's maiden home, Yang's family, he has to stay at his uncle's house for a day, and then go to Yang's house before he can come back.

Xie Lang asked Xie Wan if he wanted to go to see his uncle and aunt together, but Xie Wan couldn't pull away, so he said that he was suffering from the wind and cold, and he would go back after the New Year.

Luo Sheng had just returned from a batch of winter goods from Hejian Mansion the day before yesterday, just in time for the sale before the end of the year. As soon as the two guys in the shop were cleared by him, they were also stupid when they saw that they couldn't get through the customs, and they had no money for the New Year, so they immediately expressed their willingness to work for three more months, just to get the wages that were deducted to survive the New Year.

Xie Wan is not a person who leaves no room for nothing, and when he heard that their family was indeed not rich, he allowed them, but Luo Sheng was not at ease, he personally sat in the shop in the past two days, and he never let them have another chance to be lazy.

The shop in Huangshi Town is still looking for it, and now it has entrusted Sister-in-law Mei, who used to be a cook in the house, to hire someone, saying that there will be news in the past few days. Originally, I also thought about hiring a few young boys, but after thinking about it, I thought that it might be more convenient to have a talking woman's mouth in the countryside, so I entrusted this sister-in-law Mei.

Xie Wan's first task at the moment is also to find a few people who can be used.

In fact, those tycoons who own dozens or hundreds of shops do not necessarily have subordinates in each shop, most of them are led by two or three big shopkeepers, and then there are two shopkeepers and three shopkeepers below.

In short, the owner only looks at the account book and the actual income every year, and the income is good, and the money is made more, as for the following or whether there is a phenomenon of greed for ink, but as long as you can't catch the handle, and no one reports, you will naturally turn a blind eye.

The big shopkeeper is equivalent to the number one figure in the whole firm, but such a shrewd and capable talent is not said to have it, a firm has to cultivate a big shopkeeper for one or two decades, outsiders can not easily dig it away, and they themselves will not easily abandon the city.

Originally, she also thought about letting Luo Sheng be the big shopkeeper of these five shops, but after getting along these days, she found that he was more than loyal and down-to-earth, but he was not bold and quick-witted, and it was okay to manage one or two shops, but if all five shops were put in his hands, it would be very difficult.

What's more, Xie Wan's goal is not only these five shops, so from now on, she must cultivate such one or two people.

But where can you find such a person?

She said to the people around her, "There will be people in the shop soon, if you know boys with more organic spirits, bring them to me." ”

Everyone was the only one who obeyed the orders of the three girls, and the words quickly spread, and Mother Wu and Yu Xue Yinsuo immediately took the letter back to the countryside and asked those clansmen to help inquire. Luo Sheng had already written home and asked his wife to ask relatives on both sides to find him. Luo's family is in Wanquan County, next door to Nanyuan County, Xie Wan only knows that Luo Sheng's mother and mother-in-law live at home, and his wife takes care of the elderly and children alone, very virtuous, but he has never seen it.

So in the past few days, Xie Wan has been waiting for the letter in the house, and even his uncle's family can only be ruthless for the time being.

After practicing calligraphy for a while in the evening, I could see that the sun was setting outside, and I couldn't help but feel a little bored when I thought that Xie Lang would not come back today.

Yu Xue saw it and said: "I heard that the third young master's carriage is back, and the girl doesn't go out much, so it's better to go to the Breeze Courtyard to sit and listen to the interesting things outside." ”

Xie Wan has been in this world for thirty years, and he has seen everything he should see, and he has no sense of novelty about it.

But it's good to go out for a walk, and I'm stuffy in the house all day long, and I don't look like a little girl at an active age.

Yuxue added a moon-white smoky grosgrain vest with fur trim to her emerald brocade jacket, then combed her double bun, wore beaded flowers made of pearls the size of rice grains, and served her out.

When I got out of the courtyard, I saw a half-tall boy standing under the shadow wall of the hanging flower door in the west courtyard, wearing an azure Hangzhou silk brocade robe, a piece of jade with a swastika hanging on the belt, and a small oval jasper with black hair on his head, looking very handsome in his teens.

Just as he was about to raise his foot and turn to the road of the Wind Courtyard, the boy saw her and said in a loud voice, "This sister doesn't seem to have seen it?" ”

Who is his sister? It's a bit self-cooked. But since people said hello, of course it's not good to leave like this. Xie Wan turned around and said, "I haven't seen you either." ”

The boy smiled warmly, walked over to look at her for a while, and said, "I guess you are the third girl of the Xie family, right?" It's been a long time since I've been to Xie's house, but I've heard of you. ”

There are many families who have a relationship with the Xie family, and this time the young masters went to deliver pastries, in addition to relatives, there were as many as fifteen households, and Xie Wan really couldn't guess which family he was for a while.

However, no matter which family he is, there seems to be nothing to say.

She nodded and said, "I'm Xie Wan." You're—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation of "ah" from behind the shadow wall, and then a figure rolled down the stone staircase behind him.

"Second sister!"

The boy was stunned, and then rushed over quickly, Xie Wan paused, saw that it was Xie Qi, and then walked over.

Xie Qi got up from the ground in embarrassment and pouted at Xie Wan and the boy.

"Why are you here?" The boy asked, surprised, as he patted the ash on her back.

Xie Qi said: "I heard that you are waiting for Brother Yun here, so I wanted to hide here to scare you, but I didn't expect you to run to talk to the third sister again, and I fell off without paying attention." As she spoke, she lowered her head, rolled up her sleeves and looked at it, and stretched out the two abrasions on her wrists in front of the boy: "Brother Jun, look! People fell because of you, if Aunt Ren saw it, she would feel sorry for me again! ”

Aunt Ren? - Ren Jun?!

Xie Wan's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "You are Ren Jun, the third son of the Ren family?" ”

When Ren Jun heard this, he couldn't help but let go of his hand and turned around happily, "It turns out that the third sister knows me?" ”

Xie Wan looked at him with a spring breeze in front of him, and his heart was churning like a rolling tide for a while.

Oh, yes! She should have thought that the rich boy who could stand freely in the Xie family's house without bringing a small house, and there would be no one else except the Ren family.

In her previous life, she had never seen the third son, so she allowed the adults to get engaged and divorced, and was used as a trick by the Ren family, so that it affected the marriage of a lifetime, and finally had a reputation of both talent and appearance but no one cared about it, until he died at the age of thirty. Unexpectedly, this life didn't have anything to do with him, but it happened again!

She held back her thoughts and looked at Xie Qi, whose gaze was glued to him.

Xie Qi is nine years old and knows a little about the world. She remembered that after the Ren family divorced her in her previous life, she later married the daughter of Zhukang, a member of the military department, as a matchmaker by Ren Jun's eldest brother-in-law, as for what he had to do, he forgot it, anyway, he had nothing to do with Xie Qi. Xie Qi later seemed to be married to a family of scholars, and his life was hard, and he often had to rely on Xie Rong and his wife's snort.

She originally only said that Xie Qi was just willful, not quite in line with her temperament, but she actually had her own scheming. With Xie Qi's identity, if he climbed to Ren Jun, who was placed on great hopes by Mr. and Mrs. Ren, wouldn't it be a great benefit to Xie Hong's family?

While Xie Wan was pondering, Ren Jun was also looking at her with interest.

Xie Qi coughed dissatisfiedly from the side, Xie Wan's eyes flashed slightly, and he came back to his senses.

"Indeed, I heard about the third son from the fourth brother a few times." She replied briefly. Then he glanced at the direction of the third room, and said, "I still have to go to the third room to find the eldest sister, so I will lose my company first." ”

There was nothing to say in the first place, but now that he knows his identity, there is nothing to talk about.

Ren Jun hurriedly said, "The third sister is easy to go." ”
