Seeing that Xia Ruixi was using the pregnancy to resist him, the boss in his heart was unhappy, and he couldn't say anything to refute it, so he had to say: "Don't mind, don't mind." Your body is the most important thing right now. ”

It happened that Chun'er also came over and said, "Miss, the eldest young grandmother asked the slave maid to come and see, has the third young grandmother's flowers been finished." ”

Xia Ruixi knew that the Wu family was telling her that the Xue family was already well and let them go back, so she smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, look, they are urging, right?" Let's go back. She didn't believe that the Bai family was embarrassed to open this mouth in front of the Wu family and the Xue family, and she could avoid it for a while, but she really couldn't hide and say it again.

After going back, Xue's expression had returned to normal except for the fact that his eyes were still a little red.

A few people gossiped for a while, and then it was time for dinner. Xia Ruixi cleaned up and went to the upper room for dinner with a few people.

Wu said with a smile: "Your body is important, didn't my mother send a message so that you don't have to go to the room to serve these days?" ”

Because Xia Ruixi was pregnant, Mrs. Ou couldn't help but be overjoyed, and made a special statement, Xia Ruixi's dinner will be eaten in the Splendid Garden in the future, so that she can eat whenever she wants, and she doesn't have to go to the room with everyone.

Xia Ruixi thought that this matter should be handled in a low-key manner, who in this room has not given birth? Mrs. Ou is sympathetic to her, so she should be even more low-key to avoid causing others to blush. Because of the smile: "Where does this start, aren't I good?" Qing Jin is not here, it is not interesting for me to eat alone, it is better to be with my sisters-in-law, and the rice should be more fragrant. ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Wu's eyes, and he taught her as a person who had come over, "Don't be confused, you underestimate the first three months, whether the child is stable or not, whether he grows well or not, these three months are the most critical." Don't eat what you shouldn't eat, don't go where you shouldn't, don't do what you shouldn't do, don't get angry when you shouldn't, and don't get tired. After these three months passed smoothly, it was only after that. ”

Xue also even claimed to be.

Xia Ruixi was grateful for Wu's guidance, and said with a smile: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern." I'm a fool and I don't understand a lot of things, so I'll ask my sisters-in-law for advice another time? Shall I go with you today? ”

Wu frowned and said, "What about Qing Jin? Why don't you see him? The daughter-in-law just got a body, and he is not at home with him, where did he go? Let him come out, I have something to say to him. ”

Wu's age is a few years different from Mrs. Xia's, and she entered the door early, although she doesn't talk much and refuses to meddle in things, but in the end, Ou Qingjin grew up with her own eyes, and because Ou Qingjin also cares about the studies of her two sons, she even has a slight difference between Xia Ruixi and Xue's and Bai's.

Xia Ruixi knew that the Wu family was kind, so he explained with a smile: "A few days ago, we planned some crops to be planted this year in that small hot spring village, but then the old lady passed away, so we couldn't take care of it. Because he was afraid that the steward in Zhuangzi would not do what he wanted, so early this morning, Qing Jin rode to Zhuangzi. ”

Wu nodded: "It's very good, now that he wants to be a father, he can't just know how to read and write, he should take care of the industry with a little bit." As for the people in this Zhuangzi, they have to often knock on the dots and do things seriously, otherwise they will be fooled. By the way, he's coming back tonight? She'er said that he had a question to ask his fourth uncle. ”

"Because I have to go to another Zhuangzi to have a look, I am afraid that he will run back and forth, which will be tiring and delaying time, so let him rest in the Zhuangzi tonight. I guess it will be about three or four days before I'm done. Sister-in-law, do you think this is good, as soon as he comes back, I will let someone go and talk to She'er. ”

Wu said: "Don't worry. You still don't want to go, otherwise your mother will definitely scold you when she sees that you are disobedient. ”

Bai pouted disappreciatively.

Xia Ruixi listened to Wu's persuasion in the end and stayed in the Splendid Garden.

She was instructing Chun'er to quietly take the pastries sent by Lin Qingmei to the backyard and bury them, when Liang'er ran in and said, "Miss, the third young grandmother is back again." ”

Then Bai's voice sounded outside: "Fourth brother and sister, one of my hairpins has fallen, I'll see if it fell on you." ”

Xia Ruixi knew that she didn't have a chance to say what she said before, so she made an excuse to come back, and said with a smile: "The third sister-in-law asked someone to say it, and I asked someone to find it and send it to you, so why bother to run away?" What's the good thing about delaying your meal? ”

"It's okay, it's still some time before we leave." Bai sat down uninvited: "Fourth brother and sister, I haven't finished talking to you before, so I take this opportunity to talk to you." ”

She swore not to give up if she didn't achieve her goal, Xia Ruixi sighed secretly, and had to bite the bullet to see what she wanted to do.

Bai Shi looked at the girls around him, Xia Ruixi understood, and waved the others away.

Bai cleared his throat: "That's right. What you may not know is that the situation at home is a bit of a struggle to make ends meet. I told you earlier that the money for the uncle to go to the capital and the money for the old lady's funeral were barely supported by selling the Zhuangzi, and he lost 10,000 taels of silver on the books. The subordinates of Fushoutang also had to be sent out because they had to cut the cost. ”

She leaned over and whispered, "I estimate that in the next step, each house will cut expenses, and irrelevant idlers will definitely be sold." That is to say, if there is any big thing, the industry must be sold. Our family has a lot of events, and when we wait until the future, we will be able to share it on our heads, and we are afraid that we will be able to count it with just a few fingers. ”

Xia Ruixi took a sip of white water nervously: "Has it come to this point?" Why haven't I heard my mother mention it? ”

Bai: "Ahem! "The family was defeated at the hands of my mother, how can she tell you this." ”

The teacup and lid in Xia Ruixi's hand made a crisp hitting sound: "Third sister-in-law, we are juniors, how can we say that my mother is not in the back?" I've heard this and forgotten it, don't say it again, I don't like to hear it. ”

Bai's face was a little stunned: "Okay, let's not talk about this." I'm here to get down to business with you. I'm worried that if this continues, the children will not have a place in the future, and they will be pampered since childhood, and they can't pick up their shoulders or carry them on their backs. ”

Xia Ruixi lowered his eyes and said, "Let them study hard." Anyway, you can join now. ”

"You're so stupid, there are more people studying, how many can get ahead? I feel that I still have this in my hand. Bai Shi compared a gesture of counting money.

Xia Ruixi blinked: "That's the truth, but the family doesn't want our dowry, as long as we save it, we can subsidize it to the children in the future, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so we can't take care of the grandchildren, right?" ”

"Although we have a few dowries to leave to our children, after all, it is limited, and it is difficult to guarantee that one day it will be forced by men to subsidize the family. As soon as I thought of this in my heart, I was in a hurry, the dowry of the two houses of Yamato and the second room was not as much as ours, and the son was about to marry a daughter-in-law, and when the family had a few money, they could marry their daughter-in-law in a beautiful way, not only did they not suffer, but they also earned, so they were naturally not in a hurry. Uncle entered Beijing this time, and the silver passed through his hands, so why did he have a few thousand taels left, right? There is also the second uncle, who is looking for money from his mother at any time, and secretly takes money with your third brother behind my back! His outer room actually lives in the courtyard of Sanjin! If it goes on like this, it's our turn, what else?! ”

Based on Xia Ruixi's understanding of Ou Dashao's honest character, she didn't agree with the statement that he would embezzle public funds, but she didn't express it, just said: "We can't control this, let's have as many as we can when the time comes." It's a big deal, just save a little. ”

Bai hates that iron does not become steel: "Why are you so stupid? My Chen'er is still young, what about yours, I won't talk about it, it's still in the belly, and, do you know how many you will give birth to in the future? That mouth is going to be money! Even if you are young, you have to be big, and there are many places where you need to spend money! Think about it, are you in a hurry? If you don't plan and plan as soon as possible, it will be you and the children who will suffer in the future. Don't blame me for not warning you. Bai said that Xia Ruixi was stupid twice in a row, glancing at her stomach, looking very worried about her.

Xia Ruixi said staggeredly: "Then I can't help it." After all, if there is something for me to eat, there is something for the children to eat. ”

"Pigs have food too! Is there a difference between raising a pig and raising a child? The difference is huge! Seeing that Xia Ruixi was unhappy, Bai Shi patted his mouth: "Look at my mouth, as soon as I open my mouth, I don't have any seriousness, I talk nonsense, you don't care!" I'm in a hurry. To tell you the truth, I came to find you, there is a good way to make money, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so. ”

Xia Ruixi was alarmed in his heart: "I probably don't have the guts, I'm timid, I don't have any foresight, and I don't know how to do business." ”

Bai laughed: "Don't take any risks from you!" What a force! As long as you give up a little capital, I promise to let you multiply the profits, and then you will have to count the silver. ”

Xia Ruixi asked in surprise, "Really?" What's so good? ”

Bai said proudly: "I tell you, you have to keep it a secret." A few days ago, my mother's brother came to pay his respects, and he told me that he knew a big boss in Tokyo. The big boss was the head of a well-known trading house in Tokyo, and he had dozens of sea-going ships under his command. Specializing in the business of maritime sales, the silk and porcelain here are shipped out, and the jewelry and spices are exchanged for jewelry and spices from Fanguo on the other side of the sea, and sold at a high price, which is a million profits! ”

"So what?" Xia Ruixi had already guessed what the Bai family was going to say next.

Bai Shi said excitedly: "My brother spent two thousand taels of silver, drank wine with him for half a month, and played all over the city of Tokyo, so he couldn't pester, so he relented and agreed to give my brother a ship to load." As soon as the goods came back, my brother shipped the things back to Xijing, and sold them in our own shop. ”

"Well, that's right." But the risk is also very large, and at the same time, it is possible to lose all your money.
