In the middle of the night, it rained drippingly, the fine and dense rain silk was intertwined, and the dawn seemed to be much later than usual, Li Xiaoqi stood under the eaves corridor, stretching his arms happily, in such a drizzle, it was actually good to take a car to hurry, but for the little guys, guards and coachmen, it was much harder to travel in the rain, Li Xiaoqi exhaled softly, forget it, I don't want this, no matter which world, there are too few things I can manage.

Although it was raining, the time of departure was not half a minute late, Li Xiaoqi sat in the car, looking at the dense rain outside through the silk curtain, Luo Yan put the hand stove in his hand around, and finally found a suitable place to put it, straightened up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Xiaoyi: "Girl drink a cup of tea." ”

Li Xiaoqi took the cup and held it in his hand, looked at Luo Yan and said with a smile: "Tell you a good thing, the silver we opened the hook bar has fallen, and there is still a lot of silver, you have to think about it in the past few days, if you want to do it, you must spend a lot of effort??????"

"Girl!" Li Xiaoyi's words were interrupted by Nanning's voice outside the carriage, Luo Yan hurriedly lifted the curtain, through the layer of silk yarn door, Nanning wore a hat, arched his hand and whispered: "I don't know if the begonia girl boiled that kind of walnut cheese this morning, I drank porridge this morning, just sent two snacks, I didn't look at it and let it go, the walnut cheese that the girl sent to the master last time, the master loves to eat very much, if there is, Xu Ye can eat half a bowl of a bowl." Li Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard it and replied: "There is no walnut cheese, that thing is very troublesome, and it can't be made for a while, Begonia is looking at the peanut soup, it tastes good, you go to the back car to see, if it's good, first put a cup for the prince to take a taste, last night Begonia also made some scallion shortbread, it is also a fresh trick that just came up, you want to take some together." Nanning agreed, went to the back car to find a cup of peanut soup with begonias, and used a fine porcelain bowl to hold five or six pieces of scallion oil shortbread, all the way carefully to the front of Su Zicheng's car, knocked on the door and handed it to Beiqing, and said in a low voice: "Tell the master, this is the girl asked me to bring it, I am afraid that the master will not eat well, the girl specially made it for the master to be hungry on the road." ”

Beiqing took it in and repeated Nanning's words again, Su Zicheng put down the fold in his hand and looked into the bowl, Beiqing hurriedly took the silver spoon and put it in the porcelain cup, Su Zicheng took the porcelain cup with a cold face, drank peanut soup, and ate two or three pieces of scallion shortbread. Beiqing packed up the porcelain cup and bowl, and was about to hand it out, Su Zicheng looked at the fold, and ordered without raising his head: "Keep the shortbread." Beiqing agreed, handed the porcelain cup out, and carefully put away the bowl and the two or three shortbreads inside next to the warm kiln.

Kaiping Mansion Willow Hutong, early in the morning, Lao Changtou shrunk his shoulders, walked out of the gate of Fan's house with his sleeves, went down the steps, stood at the gate of the courtyard, squinted his eyes left and right as if he had not completely woken up from his sleep in the bluestone Hutong, stood for a long time, then stomped his feet, sighed long, bowed his back slightly in annoyance, dragged his heels to the west of the silk walk, how many times have people said it, how many times have Kaiping Mansion weavers hired? This is Kaiping Mansion, not Taiping Mansion, or Taiping Mansion, this skilled weaver still needs to go to the market to find a living? How many people are rushing to get it, besides, even if there is, it's not something that his eldest lady can afford! Alas! This big lady can't get out of this horn! He asked the dog Nawa, the weaver invited by the fifth master, I heard that there were at least thousands of silver a year, and said to the eldest lady, the eldest lady just covered her ears and didn't believe it, when she was in the village, the eldest lady also followed her grandmother to manage the house, and she had never seen such a bullish left-mindedness! It's all the girl in Yueting who dials around and doesn't say good things, what does this girl in Yueting want to do!? Sooner or later, the eldest lady will be spoiled by her! I heard Yu Yan say that she pinched Xiao Yu's arm a lot of blue last night, Xiao Yu's girl is an honest and pitiful, and it is really hard to follow such a girl??????

Lao Changtou sighed in annoyance, this early in the morning, the eldest lady has a bad temper, forget it, go over and run early, and come back even if you pay a bad job, the fifth master doesn't know when he can come back, how can the fifth master take care of the affairs of the Fan family? Lao Changtou walked slowly to the silk line in the west of the city, the sun has come out more than a zhang high, Lao Changtou stopped at the door of the silk shop, looked up at the gate of the market wrapped in layers of silk and tied with flowers, sighed, raised his feet and entered the gate, and went to find the old man Ding Tou who was familiar with each other.

The old man Ding Tou of the silk line is accompanied by a big merchant in gorgeous clothes looking at the horses of silk material, the old man Chang Tou is standing in the corner of the place that is not conspicuous and out of the way, waiting for the old Ding head to finish this single business, waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the old Ding head accompanied by a smile on his face, and sent the merchant away respectfully, returned to the line and picked up his purple sand pot and drank a few sips of tea, the old Chang Tou hurriedly moved out, and greeted with a smile: "Uncle Ding," the old Ding Tou looked back and saw the old Chang Tou, and greeted with a smile: "Lao Chang, come and sit, Came looking for a weaver for your host again? Don't say, you didn't run in vain this trip, there happened to be a person who came to look for work yesterday, just the same, it's a mother-in-law, surnamed Jia, I asked, serious is a knowledgeable person, but I don't know if the craftsmanship is good, or, you take it back to your owner to see? I see, your host has designated it to see, and it just so happens that the price of Mrs. Jia is not high, and it is exactly the price that your host can afford. "The old man is overjoyed, it would be better if it was a mother-in-law, their eldest lady is still an unmarried girl's family, it is not always suitable to deal with a man, the mother-in-law is the best!

Lao Changtou happily led Mrs. Jia back to Willow Hutong, Mrs. Fan was doing needlework on the couch in the house, Yueting was crooked on the couch, while watching Mrs. Fan do needlework, while talking to Mrs. Fan about the Dragon Boat Festival, although the master and the eldest brother of the Li family could not come back in the army, but they could not be hasty, there should be courtesy, things that should be prepared, the same can not be missing, in the end, there is a family, this rule can not be sloppy??????

Yuyan rushed in to report, Mrs. Fan was surprised and delighted, and almost couldn't believe it for a while, she began to look for this weaver since the New Year, and she searched for three or four months, and there was no news for half a minute. Mrs. Fan threw away the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and was about to run out, Yueting pressed her, raised her chin at Yu Yan and reprimanded: "Look at you, what are you running?" There are no rules at all, if you are on an errand in the courtyard next door, you dare to be so unstable? Yu Yan hung his head and pursed his lips, Yueting pressed Fan Da Niangzi, turned his head and instructed Yu Yan: "Take that woman to the side hall and wait!" Yuyan swept her eyes and Mrs. Fan, who was already happy and sitting on the couch with a relaxed bearing, muttered, turned around and went out. Yueting turned around and pushed Mrs. Fan and said angrily: "Sister look at yourself, it's not that I said you, as soon as my sister gets married next year, she will be a dignified lady, this Li family and the Fan family have seen you up and down, and they all have to kneel and kowtow respectfully, that weaver, no matter how rare it is, is also a lowly subordinate, is it difficult for my sister to go out in person?" Wouldn't it be a loss of face for the Li family's brother? ”

Mrs. Fan's face was slightly red, and she gently 'smacked' Yueting and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm just a little anxious, look at you, I'm in a hurry, let's go, hurry over and take a look, there are no weavers, our weaving workshop hasn't started until now, and the weaving mills over there have recruited thirty or forty weavers, I'm in a hurry!" Come with me and have a look. Yueting agreed, affectionately took Mrs. Fan out of the house, turned two corners, and entered the side hall.

In the side hall, the old man stood outside the door with his hands down, and now his eldest lady has big rules, if he enters the house, he has to be counted, and the eldest lady will be counted, and the serious master, he will say, he really doesn't want to be called by that girl, so he is also an old person, the old man is still very polite to himself, alas, this is older, how can he have a temper? When he was young, he was notoriously good-tempered??????

Yueting held Mrs. Fan, said and smiled into the side hall, at the door of the side hall, stood a medium-sized, wearing an indigo dress, looking very capable and neat middle-aged woman-in-law, seeing Yueting holding Mrs. Fan in, and did not see her body move, the person had already neatly arrived in front of the two, with a respectful smile on her face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, without waiting for Mrs. Fan and Yueting to react, she had already stood up neatly, patted her shirt twice, bent her knees and blessed two blessings, and smiled respectfully: "This is the lady of the main family, alas, It's really a pair of jade people, the little woman has grown so big, I have never seen such a good and noble little lady, this time it is really an eye-opener! Mrs. Jia sighed and admired, Mrs. Fan's face flew up a blush, Yueting blushed, her eyes were full of joy, and then she looked at Mrs. Jia, it became extremely pleasing to the eye, Mrs. Jia stared at the expressions of the two, the smile on her face was even thicker, she half-bowed, took two steps first, gently dusted the armchair on the top with the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "The lady of the main family sits down, it's really yo!" So good-looking, so extravagant, I see, it's the princess, but it's just such a bearing! I can't take my eyes off it, and I can't speak! ”

"Sit down, mamma." Mrs. Fan blushed and gave way reservedly, Mrs. Jia waved her hand again and again and said with a smile: "This is the eldest lady with a kind heart, pity the old and pity the poor, how dare the little woman be presumptuous in front of the two ladies?" ”

"It's a good thing!" Yueting raised his chin slightly and praised,

"The little lady praised it, this is the blessing of the little woman, the little lady is not the county lord of which family, right? This look, this all-round bearing, really makes the little woman not know what to say! This belly is good, but I don't know where to boast about it! The little lady hasn't eaten any natural treasures, right? How can you give birth so well?! Jia Pozi's eyes sparkled and looked at the two, I don't know if it was admiration or something else, the words of flattery were gushing like flowing water, listening to Yu Yan and the old man standing at the door were dizzy, the two of them grew so big, it was really the first time to experience such a formation!
