Coming back from the bowstring alley, Eleven Niang rested at home for a day, and began to follow Xu Lingyi to pay New Year's greetings on the fourth day of the new year. I first went to the old Marquis Sun in the red light alley, and then went to the Shun Palace, and then the Fucheng Princess Mansion, the Yongchang Mansion, the Weibei Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion, and the Wang Li Mansion...... Except for the Marquis Yongchang who pulled Xu Lingyi into the study and talked all morning when he went to the Marquis Yongchang's mansion, the other families went to say hello and went back to the house after a meal.

This was followed by the 100-day gift of Brother Jin'er. Later, Mrs. Zhou, Grandma Huang San, Grandma Lin and others came to pay New Year's greetings. Eleven Niang set up a banquet in the inner courtyard to entertain, Xu Lingyi entertained colleagues, former subordinates and friends who came to pay New Year's greetings in the outer courtyard, and those who came with their female relatives went to the inner courtyard to entertain. I was busy until the Lantern Festival passed, and then I stopped, and the house began to make spring clothes again.

Eleven Niang and Sister Zhen got together to discuss the style of spring clothes, and occasionally invited Master Jian to come into the house to ask for help, and Xiulian and Yumei sometimes ran four or five mansions a day to pass on words or pass on people. Affected by the sound of the two, the main courtyard suddenly became lively, and some ingenious maids and mothers-in-law also began to work their clothes, or embroider a pattern on the placket, or tie a red head rope... As the wind blew on the body without the cold, everyone's clothes became thinner and thinner, and the main courtyard began to permeate a kind of leisure and prosperity of prosperity and peace.

It was at this time that Amber became pregnant.

"I'm worried," Eleven Niang said with a smile, "If there is no movement, I can't help but ask!" ”

Binju, who brought his son Chang'an to greet Eleven Niang, smiled when he heard it: "I thought you were busy during the New Year, so I didn't come." I didn't expect to hear such good news when I entered the house. ”

Eleven Niang smiled and touched Chang'an, who was obediently sitting on her mother's lap and eating shortbread, and this article was published in the 55ab community and instructed Qiu Yu: "Let Gu's mother bring the sixth young master to Bin Ju to see." ”

Binju hurriedly said "don't dare", Qiuyu knew that Binju was different in front of Eleven Niang, and smiled and went to pass on Gu's mother.

"The sixth young master is really beautiful." Hamaju carefully hugged it in his arms and kept praising it.

"When I was born, everyone said that I looked like Hou Ye, but I didn't see it." Eleven Niang said with a smile, "These days have gradually grown and people have become white, and I look really thoughtful." ”

Hamaju couldn't help but laugh.

Woke up Brother Jin.

Look with big round eyes.

Binju was busy urinating Brother Jin'er.

"I used to eat, sleep, and eat, and I was worried that he would not be able to see or hear." Gu's mother took Brother Jin to breastfeed, and Eleven Niang said, "It's good now, I won't sleep when I wake up, and I'll wake up after sleeping for a while." I heard Tian's mother say that a child of his age sleeps at least eleven hours a day, and I don't know how he has such good energy. ”

"No matter how fat or thin a child is, the most important thing is to have good energy." Talking about the child Hamaju is more experienced than her, "I have good energy, I am smart in everything I do, and I am smart...... The sixth young master must be very smart in the future. ”

The two were talking here, and there was a little maid running to Aunt Wen's place.

"Auntie, auntie, Binju is here!"

Aunt Wen perked up when she heard this, and asked Dong Hong to reward the little maid with a few copper plates, and then murmured: "First Amber is pregnant, and now Binju has come to greet Mrs. again...... Madame should be in a good mood! She said, a hint of determination between her eyebrows, "There is no better opportunity than this!" Just today! Then he got up, "Donghong, you find a red gold hairpin from my mirror." Let's go to Madame. ”

Dong Hong went away at the sound of ants.

When Aunt Wen arrived at the main house, Eleven Niang and Binju were sitting on the kang and the other was on the side of the kang, teasing Brother Jin'er.

"Oops!" Aunt Wen smiled, "What a coincidence today! I didn't expect to meet Wan Daxian's family. We haven't seen each other in a few days, are you okay? Looking at Chang'an sitting next to Eleven Niang, "This is Chang'an, right?" I didn't expect to grow so big! As he spoke, he stepped forward and took the child's hand, "Let me see, who does this look like?" He took a serious look at it and said to Binju with a smile, "I look like you!" ”

"Aunt Wen!" Binju hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile, "They all look like me!" ”

"My son is like a mother who has something to eat." As soon as Aunt Wen spoke, she knew that she had lost her words - Brother Jin looked like Xu Lingyi.

She hurriedly changed the topic: "I'm in a hurry today, I didn't expect you to be there." As he spoke, he inserted the red gold hairpin on his head, "This is still in the first month, this reward for you." ”

Binju was very surprised and glanced at Eleven Niang.

Since Xu Lingyi spoke to Aunt Wen alone on the first day of junior high school, although Xu Lingyi has never seen Aunt Wen alone, Aunt Wen's uneasiness has been racing day by day, and Eleven Niang has been paying attention to the development of things. also specially asked people to inquire about what the second lady was doing at Huang's house on the first day of junior high school. When she came back, the second lady was ordered by Mrs. Huang to send some food to Mrs. Huang.

Now is not the time to say hello, but Aunt Wen suddenly visited, and she faintly felt in her heart that Aunt Wen's arrival had a lot to do with the first day of junior high school.

Eleven Niang bowed slightly.

Binju smiled and took it, bent his knees and thanked him.

Eleven Niang instructed the little maid to come in with a brocade: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Aunt Wen sat down with a smile, took the tea served by the little maid, and said with a smile: "The older we are, the more energetic our brother becomes!" ”

As she spoke, Brother Jin kept staring at her.

Shi Niang smiled and kissed Brother Jin'er's cheek, and handed Brother Jin'er to Gu's mother: "There is no wind today, you take Brother Jin to the yard for a walk-after sitting for a long time, he should cry again." ”

Gu's mother smiled and retreated, and Qiu Yu came over to coax Chang'an out, and there were only Eleven Niang, Aunt Wen and Binju in the house, which was suddenly much colder.

Eleven Niang said: "Aunt Wen, what's the matter?" ”

Aunt Wen glanced at Binju, got up and knelt in front of Eleven Niang: "Madam, please save me!" ”

Eleven Niang was secretly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly went to take Aunt Wen: "What happened?" If there's anything you can't say, you have to do it! ”

Binju watched and quietly got up and retreated, helping them turn off the fan.

Aunt Wen knew that Eleven Niang didn't like others to kneel on her very much, so she stood up, but tears fell down her eyes.

"Master Hou asked me to take care of all my business before the twenty-fourth day of the first month. Otherwise, he will personally help me get the business out. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "There are more than thirty guys under my hand who came out of the Wen family with me." This business is going to be sold out, who will feed these people? How will they make a living in the future? How can I be worthy of these people who have followed me? The more she spoke, the more sad she became, "When I invested in the Wen family's business, Master Hou didn't say a word. Later, the emperor ascended the throne and said that the Xu Mansion had become a relative, and if he was fighting for profits with the people like this, and had a bad reputation, he asked me to break up with the people of the Wen family. I didn't say anything, and immediately agreed. But after all, I am the daughter of the Wen family, how can I say that I will break it, and if I break it, I will break it cleanly. Moreover, when I used to do business with the Wen family, it was all up to these guys and the stewards of the Wen family to calculate the annual dividends clearly. After the gang was dismantled, how could the Wen family use these people again. This article was published in the 55ab community, and I had to find a way to open a shop to feed them. But now, Hou Ye is going to put the shop on the table...... Madam, you ask me to tell Master Hou about it! I'm not going to open the shop. Give it to Qiuhong's father. In this way, those fellows can still earn a living in the shop as before! ”

If so, it is indeed Xu Lingyi's fault.

However, will Xu Lingyi's actions be so simple and rough?

And so many years have passed, why did Xu Lingyi suddenly not allow Aunt Wen to do business? I'm still in a hurry to talk about this on the first day of the new year!

Eleven Niang felt strange.

She thought about it for a while and sat side by side with Aunt Wen: "Have you said these words?" ”

Aunt Wen's expression was slightly unnatural, and she said in a low voice: "Master Hou has a straight face, and I didn't dare to say more at that time." The more I think about it afterwards, the more inappropriate it becomes. I was afraid that the Hou Ye would be angry, so I came to beg Mrs. ......" The voice seemed a little erratic.

Shi Niang smiled slightly and said softly: "Hou Ye is not an unreasonable person. These scruples, Aunt Wen can talk to Master Hou. However, since Aunt Wen has begged to come to me, I have a few words I want to ask, and I also ask Aunt Wen to solve my doubts! After speaking, she didn't wait for Aunt Wen to nod, and said directly: "You said, you invested in the Wen family's business at the beginning, and you are a woman's family, why did you think of doing business with the Wen family?" ”

Aunt Wen was stunned when she heard this, and said, "It's after I gave birth to Sister Zhen." My father said, "I am a concubine and have no dowry. It's better to take shares and do business with the Wen family. My father took care of the dividends of the business. If there is anything in the future, I will be rich and bolder. ”

Shi Niang listened and asked, "I don't know how many shares of gold Aunt Wen took out?" ”

Aunt Wen Ant said with some embarrassment: "At that time, I didn't have much money, so I only recorded the principal. Later, the Wen family's business got better and better, and when the dividends were distributed that year, I paid back the principal. ”

"Then how much money did my aunt make back then?"

Aunt Wen was silent.

Eleven Niang didn't urge her, and sat there quietly drinking tea.

After a long while, Aunt Wen whispered: "I earned a million taels of silver!" ”

"So much money!" Eleven Niang said, "Does Master Hou know?" What did my aunt do with the money later? Is there a money bank? still made the capital and continued to do business with the Wen family. ”

Aunt Wen's expression was a little uncertain.

Eleven Niang said softly: "Auntie, if you don't say these words clearly, how can I help you speak in front of the Hou Ye when the time comes." ”

Aunt Wen listened to it and looked like a broken boat. He said in a deep voice: "Master Hou knows. And at the beginning, one million taels of silver, in addition to the 10,000 taels of principal I invested in, Hou Ye took 970,000 taels and left. ”

The principal of 10,000 taels of bears is 1 million taels of silver.

Aunt Wen is not carried away by money!

"I don't know how many years I've been doing this kind of business?" Eleven Niang's expression became a little solemn, "How much silver did Master Hou take away?" ”

It turned out that he was taking care of Hou Ye's decency, but now, Hou Ye doesn't care about her decency at all. And the words have come out of the mouth, so it would be good to let the lady know what happened back then!

Thinking of this, Aunt Wen said: "After six years of business, Master Hou took nearly seven million taels of silver and left. ”
