Yuan Baozhu's family wore an oily green sè silk jacket, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore two big red sè Yue Ji UA "looks bright and capable."

She bent her knees and saluted Eleven Niang, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, and Madame's temperament is still so good." Then he took the red silk cloth burden from the mother next to him, "This is the shoes and socks that Miss Nine made for Mrs. and the Sixth Young Master, the craftsmanship is clumsy, please don't dislike it." ”

Since Xu Sizhen and Miss Jiang Jiajiu got engaged to the marriage contract, the Yuan Baozhu family, who had accompanied Wang Lang's sister Wang Lin to the funeral, went to Beijing every year to greet Eleven Niang with the Jiang family's New Year's gifts.

"Let your ninth miss bother." Eleven Niang smiled and asked Qiu Yu to take the burden, and instructed the little maid to bring the pestle to the two mothers to sit on, and enjoy the tea.

Yuan Baozhu's family sat on the small pestle, thanked him with a smile, took the tea, and took a sip sideways.

Eleven Niang asked, "Are your lord and wife okay?" ”

"Blessed Lady. Our husband and wife are tough. Yuan Baozhu's family smiled respectfully, "On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, my wife also took Miss Nine to Dafu Temple to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva......"

As he was talking, a little maid came in and said, "Madam, Master Jian has arrived." ”

At this time of year, "Master Jian will show the account book of the wedding shop for one year to Eleven Niang for a look."

Eleven Niang smiled and asked the little maid to invite Master Jian in.

Yuan Baozhu's family got up and retreated.

Master Jian walked in with a royal blue sè silk wrapper.

She and Shi Niang sat down separately, took the little girl's tea, and Qiu Yu cleverly retreated with the clothes in the house.

Master Jian untied the silk cloth burden and pushed it in front of Eleven Niang: "This is this year's account book." ”

Seeing that there were more than a dozen account books than last year's, Eleven Niang smiled and said, "It seems that this year's business is better than last year's!" ”

The current business of Xipu is divided into two parts, one is mainly to customize complements and official uniforms, and the other is to make happy accounts and mantles. Because of the importance of complements and official services, "Master Jian personally took a few skilled embroiderers to take charge of the happy tent and handed over the happy tent to Qiu Ju. In the past few years, the business has been getting better and better. Not only is it famous in Yanjing, it is Jiangnan, but there are also people who are famous and come to order official uniforms.

Master Jian nodded with a smile: "If it goes on like this, in another two or three years, we will be able to buy a shop on East Street." "Speaking of which," she hesitated slightly, she said, "Madam, there is something I would like to discuss with you!" "Speaking of God, he was a little dignified.

Eleven Niang looked at her solemnly and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" We masters and apprentices, what is not easy to discuss. ”

"There's something, I don't know if you've heard of it." Master Jian pondered, "I heard from the proprietor next door that Mrs. Gan went out with another shop a few days ago. We are gradually becoming famous now, and it will only get better and better in the future. Most people mention our shop, will say that it is "East Street shop", if we move the place, those merchants who come from afar can not find a place not to say, "If someone in our original place also opened a shop, the business is small, so that those merchants mistakenly think that it is our shop, UA money did not buy the desired things, I am afraid that it will damage our reputation." Look, should we ask if there are any shops around that you want to buy? I bought it with the money of the wedding shop. There will also be a long-term place when the time comes. ”

Eleven Niang frowned: "Mrs. Gan has another shop!" ”

Master Jian sighed softly.

Eleven Niang was silent for a long time and said, "You have a good idea." I said, "You just inquire first." If I don't have enough money, I'll put it on first, and then I'll give it back and leave. As for Mrs. Gan, I'll go and say yes. ”

In this way, "even if Zhongqinbo forces Mrs. Gan to sell the shop again, the business in the shop will not be affected, and although Mrs. Gan's dividends in the happy shop cannot make her rich and clothed, Yu Shao can not lack food and clothing."

Master Jian nodded, "Seeing that Eleven Niang was holding her face, and the atmosphere was a little serious, she changed the topic with a smile, "I heard that Amber is going to come back on an errand after the New Year" What happened to Zhu Xiang's marriage? ”

When it comes to this, Eleven Niang is worried: "Looking for it, there is no suitable person!" ”

Master Jian laughed: "I think, you don't feel at ease if you marry Zhu Xiang." Isn't the one that Song's mother mentioned last time tǐng good? Both parents are in charge of the grange, and the young man follows the big shopkeeper in Shanxi to run tuǐ, literate, handsome, and quite old. You just said that the young man was too clever and less steady. If you really find a wooden one, "I'm afraid that you feel too honest and less alert." Then persuaded her, "Zhu Xiang is not small, if she doesn't marry, she will become an old girl." You see our Qiu Ju, don't you go through the tǐng okay? ”

Qiu Ju was also dragged back and forth, dragging into an old girl. Later, the shopkeeper of the silver building on a street introduced a man who worked as a partner in the silver building, his father died early, his family was poor, and there were four brothers, he was the youngest, and he was willing to go to Master Jian's house to make a living. Master Jian began to think that the young man was not good-looking, so he secretly asked Qiu Ju to take a look, Qiu Ju didn't make a sound, and Master Jian reluctantly agreed. As a result, after marrying Qiu Ju, "all kinds of heavy work and appearances are sons-in-law, and the family life gradually has a look, and the more Master Jian looks at it, the more he likes it, and the more he looks at it, the more satisfied he is." Last autumn, Qiu Ju gave birth to another pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the two children were surnamed "Jane", and Master Jian was even happier.

Eleven Niang also knew that she was picking bones in eggs, but she thought that the people from Yuhang and she were going their separate ways, so she wanted to keep Zhu Xiang for a few more days.

"We'll talk about it then!" She muttered, "It's almost the New Year, you can't marry her at this time!" ”

Master Jian knew that she couldn't turn around for a while, so he drank with a smile. tea, and said a few words to Qiu Ju's twins, and then got up and said goodbye.

Zhu Xiang saw Master Jian come out, sent Master Jian to the door, and then went to Eleven Niang.

"Same as in previous years." She said in a low voice, "Yuan Baozhu's family first went to see Mother Song, and then went to see Mother Du, as well as Mother Shi from the Fifth Lady's side, and Steward Zhao's daughter-in-law, she all brought gift boxes to pay New Year's greetings. Then he said a little embarrassedly, "We also gave the seal red." ”

Eleven Niang looked at it with a smile and quipped: "Has it risen a little bit this year?" ”

"Nope!" Zhu Xiang smiled, "It's still a four-point silver dart." ”

"Although it is small, but after such a circle, I am afraid that it is not a small amount." Eleven Niang smiled and put this matter behind her, "What about Brother Jin'er?" I didn't see him for most of the day. ”

"I'm feeding the birds with the Seventh Young Master!" Zhu Xiang smiled, "Sui Feng, Huang Xiaomao, and Liu Erwu are all serving on the side. ”

Eleven Niang said "um", "Discuss the New Year with Zhu Xiang." At dinner, tell Xu Lingyi what Sister Zhen said.

Xu Lingyi was also a little surprised, and said, "I have already found a good master for Brother Jin'er." Thinking that this was a piece of the son-in-law's and daughter's heart, "Then let that Master Pang come too!" If it doesn't work, go to the sì guard office on an errand! ”

Eleven Niang asked Zhu Xiang to return to Xiulan, and after the New Year, Shao Zhongran personally accompanied Master Pang to Yanjing.

Xu Lingyi held a banquet in the UA hall to entertain her son-in-law. I also tested the martial arts of Master Pang" came back and said to Eleven Niang: "It is indeed a skilled bow horse." Look at it, it seems that you haven't used all your strength yet. It's just that it's not very smooth in the art of war...... Brother Jin is not going to fight brute force with others in the future. "Not very satisfied.

"Sun Bin is powerless!" Eleven Niang regards the martial arts master as a physical education teacher, and thinks that it is enough to strengthen the body. Zhao Kuo read what a book of soldiers, and he didn't return home with a big defeat when he went to the battlefield, and he had to have some talent in fighting anything. "After all, it's the kindness of the eldest aunt, just use it if you can!"

Xu Lingyi thought for a while and said: "If you don't finish reading "Kindergarten", he doesn't understand even if he spreads "The Art of War" in front of him. You can also learn the bow horse first! Then he left Master Pang in the house, and told Mr. Zhao that in early February, Erlong raised his head and sent Brother Jin to Shuangfu Academy.

Brother Jin was overjoyed to hear that he could go to the outer courtyard. Every day I ask Shi Niang when it will be the second day of February. Mrs. Tai looked at it and smiled, hugged her brother and said, "This is what reading looks like!" "Brother Shu is also clamoring to go.

Mrs. Tai rewarded Brother Jin with a box of snacks: "I will also go this time next year and accompany my brother." Brother Xu'er pulled the sleeve of Eleven Niang: "The fourth aunt will also make me a schoolbag!" ”

Eleven Niang used the odd pieces in her hand to put together a UA schoolbag for Brother Jin, and Brother Jin loaded a copy of "Kindergarten" in it, and carried it to Brother Xu to show it before coming.

"Okay!" Eleven Niang smiled, "What does Brother Xu'er like?" When the time comes, my aunt will make one for you. ”

"Like the Sixth Brother.

Brother Xu'er immediately said, "More beautiful than the sixth brother." ”

may be because of the young son, Brother Cheng is three years old, and the fifth lady holds her wherever she goes.

Seeing that her son asked Shi Niang for something, the fifth lady, who was wiping her mouth to Brother Cheng, who was sitting in her arms eating pastries, said angrily: "This child, how can you see anything!" ”

"Little children" are like this. Mrs. Tai smiled, "In the past, the fourth child was like this when he was young. Xiao Wu was very obedient when he was a child, and when he saw that I was sick, he always sat on the side and rubbed my hand and asked me if I was better! I thought, how nice it would be if this was a girl! ”

Xu Lingkuan was very embarrassed to say it, smiled and "coughed", and said, "Fourth brother, I heard that the eldest aunt introduced a very powerful martial arts master to Brother Jin'er. Otherwise, let's practice martial arts with Brother Xu'er! ”

"Martial arts practice is very hard." Only Xu Lingyi persevered in the family, "Brother Xu'er is still too young, let's talk about it when it's older!" ”

The fifth lady also said: "Yes! Brother Xu'er is one year younger than Brother Jin'er! Brother Xu'er heard this and ran to argue with the fifth lady: "I'm going, I'm going too." I want to practice martial arts with Sixth Brother! ”

The fifth lady sank her face: "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Brother Xu'er doesn't follow.

The fifth lady scolded him, "made Brother Cheng cry, and the fifth lady hurriedly hugged Brother Cheng and patted him while walking in the house to coax him." Brother Xu'er watched as tears rolled in his eyes.

Mrs. Tai looked distressed, and hurriedly beckoned Brother Xu'er to come over, and hugged the child to persuade Mrs. Wu: "Let Brother Xu'er follow!" Let's play on the side first, and when you're older, you can officially practice martial arts! Brother Xu'er nodded when he heard this.

Brother Jin helped Brother Xu'er intercede: "Fifth aunt, you just let the seventh brother go!" I'll give you my three three to play! ”

Three is one of his dogs.

Everyone laughed.

The fifth lady couldn't insist anymore, and instructed Brother Xu: "You can't be naughty, otherwise you won't be allowed to practice martial arts." Brother Xu'er cheered and hugged Brother Jin'er.
