Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

The sisters and brothers in the house were talking about the Dou family, and the fennel rubbed against the door outside, and they didn't dare to come in, but only blessed themselves in the same place, and replied: "Master, the second grandmother asked the master to show me, and the Dou family sent someone to give gifts...... "As she spoke, she carefully lit up the worship box holding the gift list in her hand.

Nian Nuo was stunned, looked at Nian Liang, and said in a low voice: "It's really ding." ”

Nian Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you ask my sister about his family." He nodded and let the fennel in. took the rosewood box and unfolded the list of gold gifts, but saw that what was written on it was either a decoration or a potted plant. He moved to the right time.

Receiving the gift list handed by Nian Liang, Nian Nuo glanced at it and sneered: "He is obedient." He went to Meizhou a few days before you, which should have been instructed by Hou Lianxiao. ”

She looked up again, looked at fennel, and asked, "What did Manniang say?" ”

Fennel hurriedly said: "Back to my aunt and grandmother, my second grandmother heard that it was the Dou family, and she didn't move the box, so she directly asked the slave maid to come and ask the master to show me." ”

Nian Nuo raised his eyebrows and said, "It's still a little measured." As he spoke, he tilted his head to look at Nian Liang and waited for him to speak.

Nian Liang also looked at the eldest sister, waiting for her to speak.

Listening to what the eldest sister said just now, she seemed to be very disdainful of this Hou Governor's Mansion, and the relationship between the two families was not good. Since the Hou prefect allowed the Dou family to come to him to give gifts, I am afraid that he will also show favor to the Hu family, so whether he accepts it or not, more or less with the attitude of the Hu family. Therefore, if you want to hear what the eldest sister means, you can't make trouble with the Hu family.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they looked at each other, and then they both smiled. Nino looked at Baba and looked at her brother. With a smile on his face, he whispered, "Now I think of the little look you had when you were a child......

When I was a child, every time I was bedridden, I didn't know how many strange home remedies I had to eat, and how many bites I had. He's used to taking pills. is not afraid of hardship, it's not that people have to be coaxed with candied fruit to drink medicine, usually let him eat candy, he may not be willing to eat it, but this told him not to eat, but he remembered it again, so he always looked pitifully at his brothers and sisters holding the snack box and feasting.

"The fourth brother always brings snacks to me to eat." Nian Liang shook his head with a smile and recalled: "It's always my sister who takes him away. That time, my sister saw that I was pitiful, so she secretly broke a small piece of snack for me. It is called to borrow the flavor, and it is not allowed to swallow ......"

The corners of Niannuo's eyes flashed and he sighed softly. Nian Liang's eye sockets were also a little sour, and he smiled reluctantly and said, "Now I'm looking for my sister's blessing again." ”

Nian Nuo took a silk and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why bother talking about these foreign ways." She turned her gaze back to the gift list, scratched her pale pink nails with red and gold letters, and said, "Take it." Let's see what moths he can produce. ”

Nian Liang snorted, and said with a little doubt: "That brother-in-law's ......"

Nian Nuo said: "You don't have to think about it, it has nothing to do with you. As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the fennel. No more speech.

Nian Liang pretended to be a gift list and handed it to fennel, and said, "Tell Manniang, accept it, and enter it." 1-6-K-small-say-net" he thought about. He called Fennel back again, and instructed: "Tell Manniang to open the warehouse and bring over two pieces of porcelain that the Dou family sent last time." ”

Fennel answered and left.

Nian Nuo frowned and said, "You don't have to let me see that porcelain." Do you really want to make this deal? ”

Nian forged and said: "Not really. Always thinking about this tribute porcelain......"

Nian Nuo sneered and said, "Dou family, hum, but the merchant's ear." If he is said to be seeking tribute porcelain, he is really beyond his own strength! He can get the errand of Gong Bing. It's just because of the geographical advantage. Even if there is good porcelain in this Meizhou, it can't fall into his hands. ”

Nian Liang hurriedly said: "It's just that I think so." Originally, I felt that the Dou family had a prefect backer, and there was really no shortage of silver, and it was useless to look for me, so I thought of tribute porcelain...... Or ,----. Sister. When will this prefect take office? ”

Nian Nuo took the teacup, took the lid of the bowl and skimmed the tea soup. Hearing this, he said slowly: "If it is about three years, Hou Lianxiao still has this year left." But I also said that he was very good at camping. Look at the present and the present...... It's hard to say. ”

Nian Liang was also speechless, shook his head and sighed, took a sip of tea from the teacup. He knew best that there was a holy mandate above this doctrine.

Nian Nuo said again: "You don't know. What is Meizhou? The giants of the family are like a rock. The prefect's backing is not stable. What's more, the Hou family is only a small official in the southeast county, only this one Hou Lianxiao has come out, won the second class, and is good at drilling camps, and has been invested in several adult families, so he has found today's position, which is really no foundation at all. What he wants to do, it's difficult. ”

Nian Liang nodded and said, "I also wanted to ask my sister this." Because he didn't know anything about the situation in Meizhou,...... I also thought about it, ask my brother-in-law to find someone to help me---- although I am not a member, but after all, in Meizhou, I am blessed by my sister and brother-in-law, and I am afraid that some people will not know what is inappropriate, and I will block with my brother-in-law. ”

Nian Nuo smiled and said, "I can't make an idea with you." When I go back in the evening, I will tell him that I know, and you will also go over Ming'er, and you can ask him yourself and see what he means. ”

Nian Liang nodded yes, thanked him with a smile, paused, and didn't directly lift the wheelchair, but only asked Nian Nuo what kind of industry it was good to buy.

Nian Nuoben was drinking tea to moisten his throat, his eyebrows moved slightly when he heard the words, he took the tea cup, glanced at his younger brother with slanted eyes, and asked, "Do you want to buy a property?" ”

Nian Liang said with a smile: "It was also mentioned by the Dou family, thinking that he would also be crowned, but he achieved nothing, and he always had to have an industry." ”

Nian Nuo thought of the shop in Jinzhou, sighed, and didn't say anything, but said: "It's time to do something." If you want to do something, it doesn't hurt for me to add some capital to you. It's just that, according to me, if you first come to Meizhou, why don't you wait for a year, collect the dividends of Yashan Villa and Nianshoutang, and have more money in your hands, and you also know some in the market, and it's not too late to make a theory. "As for the Dou family. Like such people, if you receive a gift today, he will come tomorrow. Let's see what he says. You don't deserve anything even if you take seven of his dividends. Hou Lianxiao is a paper paste. It's just that I watched the literary network all the way," she had a chill in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of tribute porcelain." Don't think about it. As he spoke, he stared at the teacup in his hand with his eyelashes, his voice became deeper and lower, and he only said: "The holy will is unpredictable." ”

Nian Liang wanted to say that he would not make porcelain, but before he could say anything, he heard the second half of the eldest sister's sentence. The words were broken in the root of his teeth, and his mind turned, and there was some coolness on his body, and he asked in a low voice, "Sister, what ......is this?"

When Fennel took the gift slip and went back to Xia Xiaoman, she was no longer in the small council room. Fennel looked for a daughter-in-law and asked, only to know that she was looking at the carriage in the south courtyard. When I arrived in the South Courtyard, I saw Xia Xiaoman pointing and pointing, and discussing with a shopkeeper how to change the carriage.

Fennel eyes are about to fall out. I didn't know where the words came from the Immortal Residence. said that the master's father is a craftsman and a good craftsman, and the master is a "tiger father without a dog girl", and there are also two sons, okay, this really confirms ,---- previous master and his own carpenter discussed how to give the master a wheelchair, and now he is discussing with the carpentry shopkeeper how to change the carriage? !

She saw Wei Kai standing not far away, but on the other side was Xiao Wei's sister-in-law and a few daughters-in-law, so she hurriedly pulled Xiao Wei's sister-in-law aside, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Master, what are you doing?" Who is that? Where is there a master to do such a thing? Why didn't my sister-in-law stop me? What about Sister Qingying? ”

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law said helplessly: "That's the tooth man recommended by Wu Shao's shopkeeper, and there are a few carpenters under him, who came to do the work." There is no pattern of what the carriage wants to be changed into, and my family came to ask the second grandmother to change it as before. The second grandmother thought about it and changed two more places, but she couldn't understand how the two of them lived. Because the grandfather was in a hurry, the second grandmother came over and said it herself. He said, "I want to leave my aunt and grandmother for lunch, and Miss Qingying will cook." ”

Fennel secretly stomped her feet, sighed, looked at the cold and stopped talking, hurriedly ran over, and said, "Master." The master replied...... "As he spoke, he glanced at the tooth man."

The tooth man was well-behaved, and since he stopped talking to Xia Xiaoman, he hung his head and didn't look around.

Xia Xiaoman wiped her forehead with a silk, the technical drawings are too important, she said this with an analogy. I sweated all over my head. It was the tooth that understood what she meant. He repeated it over and over again, adding some technical terms, and it sounded like it was. She took a breath.

She saw Fennel pause and look at the tooth man, nodded, and said to the tooth man: "That's what it means, Zhang Zhang's shopkeeper also understands, so let's follow this." Change one first, see how many hours it takes,---- ugly words, but also look at the craftsmanship, and then change the later ones. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and claimed yes, Xia Xiaoman turned around and explained Wei Kai a few words, and led a group of people out of the South Courtyard.

Several daughters-in-law followed from a distance, and fennel walked beside Xia Xiaoman, and replied in a low voice in her ear: "Master, the master replied that he had accepted it and entered it into the account." ”

"Accepted?" Xia Xiaoman took the silk and continued to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said, "What didn't my aunt say over there?" ”

Fennel hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie and grandmother let me take it." The eldest aunt and grandmother said, let's see what moths come out of the Dou family. ”

Xia Xiaoman sneered, thinking that the woman said lightly, "Moth", and felt very funny. She paused, turned around and called Xiao Wei's sister-in-law, and said, "Just close to the door, spread the word and went out, and accepted the gift......

"Master......" Fennel hurriedly took out the worship box, handed it to Xia Xiaoman and said, "The gift list ......"

Xia Xiaoman took it and opened it to take a look, there was a black line, the Dou family can open a public relations company, potted plants, he can figure it out! She closed the list, handed it to Xiao Wei's sister-in-law, and said: "The two people who came up from Zhuangzi and will serve the flowers and plants, they came and asked them to follow the gift, and asked Lu Xin to make it clear and keep the accounts, and then they didn't have to enter the warehouse, let the two people move directly to the garden, and see where they are good to place."

Xiao Wei's sister-in-law was just about to leave, and Fennel suddenly remembered the matter of the porcelain, and hurriedly told Xia Xiaoman again. Xia Xiaoman also ordered, and did not ask fennel to follow, but only asked Xiaowei's sister-in-law to take it and then find someone to send it to the main courtyard, and take fennel to the small council hall.

She doesn't know how to cook, and she doesn't have the love to cook with Qingying. Besides, Qing Ying misses Nian Nuo and wants to cook herself, what is she doing?! Where did she go to make a fuss. And the eldest sister is now in the main courtyard hall, and she is too lazy to go to the east wing, so she is ready to go to the warm pavilion next to the small council hall to rest for a while, and she can't help but curse in her heart and refuse to give her an independent courtyard.

After entering the warm pavilion, she sent others down, leaving only fennel, and she drank two teas. Relieved of his thirst, in addition to his shoes, he leaned on the bed and beckoned Fennel and said, "The girl came over to help me press my waist, it was a little sore." By the way. What else did the aunt and grandmother say---- how did you let the Dou family collect things? ”

Fennel hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed, rubbed the root of her palm, and asked, "Master...... But flashed? The slave and maid give you a wide coat and a hot handkerchief? ”

Xia Xiaoman said: "I didn't think it was flashing, hey, I don't know what's going on, and I'm excited to get in the car and flash." It's fine, it's not very powerful. No need to vacate, blame the trouble. It's time to finish talking in the main courtyard in a while, it's time for lunch. ”

Fennel also responded, kneading it, and said: "The eldest aunt and grandmother didn't say anything, and told the grandfather about the things when the grandfather was a child, and the grandfather said to ask the eldest aunt and grandmother to bless him, and the eldest aunt and grandmother let him accept the gift, and said that sentence and look at what moths come out of the Dou family." Then he let the slave and maid come out. ---- slave and maid, listen, the eldest aunt and grandmother are not angry with the Dou family. She paused. He said in a low voice: "Master, Aunt Fang asked you what you said first." ”

Listening to Xia Xiaoman's confused hum, she didn't know what the master was thinking about, to her. It is necessary to let the master hear those good and bad words, so that he can avoid evil, so he said: "I replied truthfully that the master did not give a gift list and sent it to the master, and the aunt and grandmother said, measured." ”

Xia Xiaoman lay on the pillow with her eyes closed, pouting and humming, the eldest sister likes the rules, so she will follow the rules. That's it. Anyway, they don't live together, and the number of times they see each other is limited, so it's good if she's a bodhisattva. Anyway, people are now also blessed with the Bodhisattva.

The Dou family, not looking at the gift list, in fact, is not that she knows how much she knows how much she obeys the rules, but that she doesn't want to care. She didn't want to accept this gift, so she persuaded her to forgive her on the boat early in the morning. But apparently Nian Liang and her values are different. She pursed her lips. I think the official family always has a sense of superiority over the business, and they don't care about this little gift money. And now that the eldest sister is backing up, that's not to mention anything.

Hey, I'll have to ask about business when I go back. She's always thinking about business. Here, Wu Chang found the carpenter package foreman, saying that the previous wheelchair was made by his family, and because of the old age, there is a lotus chair sitting in the hall, and he hasn't looked at the chair yet, so he has to look at things if he can make one. If......

Hey, she poked her waist with her backhand and said, "Here, here, press hard......"

Lunch was placed on Ji Zheng's side, all of them were their own family, there were not many people, and there were not so many points, Ji Zheng's main seat was sitting, on one side was Ji Songshu and Nian Liang, and on the other side were Nian Nuo, Ji Qi and Ji Lingshu.

Xia Xiaoman stood up in a regular manner, giving Ji Zheng's cloth vegetables.

On the boat, Xia Xiaoman ate with the same table, and yesterday was also the same table at the reception banquet, at this time she had to go down to the ground to make rules, Ji Zheng also knew in his heart, knowing that this was a tribute to the eldest sister, so he didn't embarrass her, smiled and let her go once, and let her make the dishes.

Nian Nuo also let it once. Xia Xiaoman only felt that the tone lacked sincerity and the smile lacked warmth, so he also smiled professionally, politely refused, and put a chopstick dish into the eldest sister's cloth plate to be a high-quality waiter.

Nian Nuo didn't raise her eyes when she heard her speak, and when she saw that the dish had arrived, she took a piece of shredded vegetables from the tip of the chopsticks and put it in her mouth, slowly tasted the product, and said slowly: "Manniang made it?" ”

Xia Xiaoman listened to the tone as if he wanted to find a thorn, and hurriedly smiled: "Man Niang broke her head a while ago, and she forgot many things, and she didn't have such good skills." This is the place where Miss Qingying personally cooks and honors her aunt and grandmother. ”

Nian Nuo raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Xiaoman, remembering the Qinghuai mentioned in his mother's letter, he didn't say anything, turned his head, smiled at Qingying who was waiting over there, and said, "Not bad." Then he jokingly said, "Be rewarded." As he spoke, he turned back and glanced at his maid.

The maid always carried a few seals for the master to reward people, and hurriedly took out a large seal of two taels of silver, and handed it to Qing Ying.

Qingying's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't dare to take it, but she was blessed and said: "It's all slaves and maids who are a little filial piety, and they should be, and slaves and maids don't dare to be rewarded." Even if he insisted on refusing to accept it, Nian Nuo was not annoyed, but only smiled and took it back.

Xia Xiaoman watched coldly, smacking her tongue secretly, there is still a difference between natural and artificial, and she can't act so naturally. Then began to pray, the eldest sister did not compare like this, and showed her hypocritical loyalty.

Being an actor is also a dangerous profession. Acting is important. Very important. It's important......

It's nothing. She held her chopsticks and continued to move vegetables into the cloth plate. She is just showing her eldest sister an attitude--- she is willing to abide by the rules, can abide by the rules, and will be a low-profile person.
