Volume 4 drunk cold wine glass 20, deviation

Nian Nuo didn't stay long for lunch, chatted with Ji Zheng's for a few words, and invited her to go out to play in the suburbs of the city after a few appointments, and then got up to say goodbye.

Everyone sent her away, and Nian Liang went to Ji Song's study to discuss the matter of visiting the Hu family tomorrow, and Xia Xiaoman asked Ji Zheng's side about some housework.

Yesterday, after the master rested, it was almost dinner, so he went straight to the Hefeng Building dinner, and came back at night, and this morning was waiting for the aunt and grandmother, Xia Xiaoman didn't come over to ask about the servants' errands, house furnishings and other things, just waiting for the guests to go over and discuss it well.

As soon as the banquet was dispersed, someone from the Nianfu side said that the tailor he was looking for also came over, and asked Xia Xiaoman to make carriage mats or cut clothes, Xia Xiaoman asked the hall to wait for tea first, and she asked the Ji family at the same time - it was not only etiquette, but also for the convenience of the two families to do it together.

As soon as Xia Xiaoman finished mentioning it, Ji Zheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed, and they all said "Coincidentally".

Ji Qishi said with a smile: "Yesterday, I also talked to my wife about the spring morning here, when it was time to tailor clothes. Mrs. also said that she would ask the sixth master here, and she would also look for a tailor. It's just that when I got up early this morning, I was full of thoughts about hospitality, and I forgot about this sentence, but you mentioned it first. ”

Xia Xiaoman smiled: "I really want to go together." Yesterday, the sixth master wanted to change the seat in the carriage, and he had to change the mat along the way, because he was in a hurry, he asked the housekeeper to find a tailor early this morning. So tell the tailor to come here first. Mrs. Auntie, Uncle's Big * Milk, Miss Cousin and the two young masters, do you want to buy clothes? He said that he invited the tailor of the flower workshop. It is the best craftsmanship in Meizhou Prefecture. ”

Ji Zhengshi said with a smile: "I cut everything last year that hasn't moved, and the clothes are enough to wear, so I won't add them for the time being." When it is hot in the summer, you can cut two pieces of yarn. ”

Ji Qi's side also said that he would not buy them, but only bought four sets of spring clothes with Ji Songshu's brothers and sisters and two children, and then these subordinates added new clothes by grade.

Xia Xiaoman smiled and sent someone over to call the tailor over, and first measured the size of the Ji family, and chose the materials and appearance. - There are only a dozen people in the Ji family, and there are fifty or sixty people in the Nian family. Even if it's not one by one, it's a lot of people of similar size, and this doesn't mean what year it will be lined up, I'm afraid it will take two days.

Looking at Ji Qi's family, Xia Xiaoman was a little embarrassed in her heart, and she didn't know whether she didn't cut new clothes to wear enough clothes, or to keep up with her mother-in-law. It was a joke. It is said that it is the "best" criterion for choosing a mate - "having a car and a house, and both parents are dead", in order to be in charge of the house and have no scruples. There are too many things to take into account when you have a mother-in-law, even if you have a good mother-in-law, if you want to be a good daughter-in-law, you must care about your mother-in-law's thoughts. Because mother-in-law is not a mother-in-law, never will be. What is the part of the department? It's not,—— you can lose your temper with your own mother and then you will be tolerated, and your mother-in-law, is it okay? In the end, it is separated by blood.

She also had her boyfriend's mother among the reasons for her previous breakups, and now she doesn't have a mother-in-law, which can be regarded as a kind of luck. Of course, it would be better if there was no eldest sister.

Xia Xiaoman took a sip of tea, and then asked Ji Zheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law about the manpower arrangement and garden decoration. The potted plants sent by the Dou family today, Nian Liang also explained that he wanted to divide half of the Ji family.

Ji Zheng's family went out this time, originally to wait for Ji Chung's book examination and palace examination to end, and then see if they would live in Beijing for a long time or how, this full count is also to live in Beijing for a few months, so although there are not many people brought out, they can be arranged by the employment department, and it is enough.

Therefore, Ji Zheng did not ask for the servants from Nianjiazhuang. I don't intend to buy people from people's teeth. It's not certain how long you'll live in Meizhou. Although the second lady also told her in private, she could give Ji Songshu a certain clerical position in Meizhou. But she can't be the master of her son, and because of her ex-husband's last wishes, she doesn't want to persuade her son how to do it. So now the servants are enough, there is no need to add people in, the Ji family has no precedent for selling people, and when the time comes, they will either weigh the allocation of people and release them, or take them away, which is also troublesome.

As for the garden, her family was rich and noble when she was young, and the house was extremely exquisite, and when she married into the Ji family, although she had been running the family for many years, her mind was no longer on the water pavilion, but the Ji family's house still asked her to pick up very elegantly. In the house on Wanxiang Street in Beijing, because it was winter, there were no flowers and no grass, and the dripping water turned into ice, so she didn't move much, and she only waited for the spring to set up the scene. Now that I have arrived in Meizhou, it is spring and flowers, and it is time to pick up the garden.

Listening to Xia Xiaoman talk about potted plants, Ji Zheng's family was not polite, he responded with a smile, and asked the florist to send it over first.

The tailor also came over while talking.

This flower shop is also a century-old brand in Meizhou City, the material is complete, the embroidery is good, and it is very good at doing business, the big shopkeeper heard that it is a new home in Meizhou, to cut a large number of clothes, it is a large business, and I heard that there is a relationship with the Hu family, so I specially sent a deacon shopkeeper to personally bring the pattern and the material to come, and the same place also followed two masters and four little apprentices. The pattern is the appearance of a book, and the material is also cut boxy, bound into a book, and the color and texture are clear at a glance.

The tailor over there was measuring the size, and here Ji Zheng and Ji Qi took the booklet to choose the fabric, while Ji Lingshu was holding the book and studying it one by one.

Looking at the girl's three good students, Xia Xiaoman couldn't cry or laugh. The girl is too studious, so she went to her side twice, and she has already studied the embroidery of the "original Xia Xiaoman", and now she has discovered a new continent again. I hope she won't be like in Zhanzhou, looking at what is good to buy, and asking people to buy patterns at this time is the same as asking merchants for product design drawings, which is out of place.

In front of other people's mothers and sisters-in-law, her cousin's second room can't say a word, so let's leave as soon as possible, out of sight and out of mind, the carriage has not been completely taken care of, and I want to ask the carpenter to see the lotus wheelchair. Xia Xiaoman thought. glanced at Nian Liang, and asked him in a low voice if he had gone back to take medicine and rest.

Nian Liang saw that although it was not too late, he thought that his aunt should also take a break, so he hurriedly smiled and said goodbye to Ji Zheng.

*

Pushing Nian Liang through the corner door between the two mansions, Xia Xiaoman first asked Nian Liang how many spring clothes he wanted, and then asked whether he would make clothes for his subordinates according to the old practice, or draw up a new charter - after all, he arrived in a new place. Although Nian Liang is the old master, he is the new master. Each subordinate appreciates the clothes and can be regarded as gathering people's hearts.

Nian Liang also knows this, and this batch of people who came out with him did not give less settling-in expenses, and when he heard Xia Xiaoman ask, he said: "All rewards." Not only those who work in the house, but also those who come with their families, their wives and sons are rewarded with clothes. You can discuss this with Qing Sakura. ”

Xia Xiaoman responded, and said how the carriage was changed. I also mentioned that I would send the wheelchair to the carpenter for a while.

"Man Niang," Nian Liang said: "At present, the affairs of the officials and merchants of Meizhou Mansion have not been clarified, and it is not suitable to buy property." At present, there are still the entries of Yashan Villa and Nianshoutang, let's talk about it after a while. ”

Xia Xiaoman paused slightly, then pushed the cart again, and said casually: "You have an idea." ”

Nian Liang snorted and said, "Don't be anxious. After a pause, he said: "Then you already have land, it's not easy to set up a wheelchair shop for the time being?" ”

Xia Xiaoman sneered in his heart. When there are wheelchairs everywhere, what do I earn from supporting the shop? At all, the lotus chair didn't have to be seen by the carpenter, it didn't matter whether Wu Chang sold the drawings or not. In terms of things, if the wheelchair shop does not stand up quickly for a while, the biggest profit will be given up - the Dou family has a wheelchair in their hands. Tatar merchants even had drawings in their hands; On people, Nian Liang has already been wary of Wu Chang, and is ready to find someone to empty him. There's no point in looking at the drawings again.

It's just that don't be in a hurry.

Xia Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, tried his best to maintain a steady tone, and said, "I have food, drink and a place to live, what are I anxious about?" The sixth master took the idea. ”

Don't be in a hurry, think about it in the long run, take the time to go out in the past two days to see, there is always something. She can do it herself. Even if not. I was willing to see it.

Nian Liang didn't sound like anything, but why was this awkward? He turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoman. saw that her face was as usual, but her eyes were unfocused, as if she was thinking about something. He turned his head again, shook his head, and sighed lowly.

Turning into the main courtyard, he remembered tomorrow's events, so he said again: "Manniang, I want to visit the Hu family tomorrow." You don't have to go with you. ”

"Oh......" Xia Xiaomanjing pondered and took a moment to go out, this soul hasn't come back yet, listening to him speak, he subconsciously agreed, turned to react, and hurriedly asked, "Huh?" Don't have to follow to Hufu? ”

This......

It's ......

That's great!!!!

What a wish it has come true! She was worried that if he was at home, she would have to serve her, and there would be no reason to go out. That's good, God left her home alone!! Tsk, it's rare for God to follow people's wishes~~^0^

He listened to her question, his voice was eager, but he didn't know how to reply. He originally wanted her to go,—— but now that she wants to support this inner house, some entertainment is necessary. But in fact, when it comes to rules, if this is a poetry and wine meeting, if you take a concubine out of the house, you can also be jokingly called a romantic Yaxing; Visiting relatives seriously and taking concubines is somewhat rude. It's just that he doesn't have a wife here, and it's no big deal for the second room to entertain.

He turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoman again, thinking about what to say, but found that the expression on her face was once again unexpected to him.

Is that...... A look of joy.

He frowned, rejoicing? Why rejoice?

In this world, it is a great honor for the concubine to be able to visit her relatives with her father, who doesn't look forward to it? If you can't go, you will be disappointed, na, either with a sad and sad face, or with a regret in your heart but in order to pretend to be virtuous, your face is faint.

Why is his mother happy?

Well, yes. He sighed. Manniang is also afraid that her identity and knowledge will be despised, so she doesn't have to go to be relieved, so happy.

So, he said to her: "Manniang, why don't he learn piano, chess, poetry and books with his cousin." "—Now that she wants to support this inner house, some entertainment is necessary. Although he knew in his heart that she couldn't learn much better, it was better to know something than not to understand, and it was better to have something to talk about with those official relatives.

"Uh......" Xia Xiaoman was happy to be on the street, and suddenly heard such a sentence, his face froze, and then his smile was completely shattered. What?! Qinqi poetry book?!

What kind of moth is this? Last time, she was asked to learn medicine, which was quite reliable, and she really learned a little,—— so it was useful anyway, and she was sick or something in the future, and it was not easy to be deceived by quacks.

But what is this qin, chess, poetry and book for? It's completely unreliable! Besides, it was really embarrassing for her,—— she was incomplete, and she never sang a word in tune; Chess can only play checkers, chess only knows the rules of walking, and Go doesn't even know the rules; Poetry can memorize three and a half sentences, and it is normal for Zhang Guan Li Dai; Calligraphy...... Awkward, please, she's only been writing for a few days?! Calligraphy......!!

"Sixth master, the inner house is busy......" she barely squeezed out a smile.

"Hmm. Don't be anxious, learn little by little. Xiucai also read it out in the cold window for ten years. He comforted her.

She's completely mad. Decade!! You can tell!! She really wanted to push the wheelchair hard and flip this guy over. (#‵′)

She grinded her teeth to herself and didn't respond. He began to arrange a study plan for her, and there was still an idle guqin in the library, and there were also piano scores in the study......

Pushing the wheelchair to the door, the curtain, Nian Liang paused, Xia Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Ming'er, I'll go to the street to see what to add to the house." ”

Then, smoothly got a response from the year. He said, yes.

*

After settling the Nian forgiveness and taking a break, Xia Xiaoman couldn't rest, first went to send the carpenter, then went to check the accounts of the Dou family's gifts and warehousing, and then went to see the potted plants stacked by the florist, and made some suggestions...... It's so busy that I hit the back of my head.

In the past few months, it seems to be the busiest day.

When she had to take a breath, she sat on the chair and gulped tea, and suddenly found the feeling of working overtime in the past, the busier she was, the more excited she was, and the busier she was, the more enjoyable she was. She sighed, this is hard work.

Ji Lingshu also came, but instead of coming to see Liutiao or Xia Xiaoman, he came with the pattern booklet. She wasn't as stupid as Xia Xiaoman thought, it was not easy to open her mouth to buy patterns with others, so she didn't take a break, the tailor was busy over there, and she was pondering the patterns on the booklet on the side; The tailor moved to the Nianfu, and she followed her, so she could watch for a while.

The tailor measured Xia Xiaoman's size, and Xiaowei's sister-in-law took it down to measure the servants, and Ji Lingshu came over with a smile and a booklet, recommending a few pieces of materials and patterns, and telling Xia Xiaoman how to match them.

Xia Xiaoman listened with a smile on his face, Ji Lingshu just felt that the material and patterns were suitable for the little sister-in-law at first, so he said, seeing that the little sister-in-law listened to it with relish, it was really rare, so he spoke more and more happily, and then this poem and song came up again, and if you say a flower, you have to praise it with two or three different poems.

Xia Xiaoman rolled his eyes, put down his arm, put away his smile, glanced at her and moved his gaze, took the teacup and began to drink tea again, Ji Lingshu's seven-word quatrain of Yongmei only threw out four words, seeing Xia Xiaoman like this, the interest immediately disappeared, and I knew that if I didn't shut up, my sister-in-law wouldn't be able to stab her again.

Xia Xiaoman didn't move anymore, smiled, tilted his head and looked at her for a long time. She drooped her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyeballs rolled under her eyelids, and a pair of small hands rubbed the booklet, unhappy.

This baby...... Xia Xiaoman sighed and said, "Miss Biao, when you go to the Hu family tomorrow, you have to remember what I said......

"It's too much. Ji Lingshu pouted and muttered in a low voice, "I won't say a word tomorrow." ”

Xia Xiaoman slapped his forehead, overkill.

"Miss Table. She sighed, "In a word, the real thing is the real thing." For example, if you know so many poems, now you should immediately find the most appropriate and appropriate sentence to describe it, well, to describe plum blossoms. Immediately, just one sentence. ”

Ji Lingshu's brows tightened, and he muttered: "Yongmeidi has the most poems, the most appropriate and decent sentence...... The best ...... Most decent......"

The filtering of data is a big problem, and the children who store Ji Lingshu quickly searched and compared all the Yongmei poems in their minds, and then, the gorgeous crash.
