When Xia Jin finished trading with the Ya Po, collected the deed of sale, and asked those subordinates to clean up the house where they lived, Luo Qian asked her puzzledly: "Why did you pick these people?" Is there anything special about it? He pointed to the group of people who had been taken out by Ya Po, "Why don't you choose those two cooks?" ”

He could hear Ya Po's introduction just now, and there were two cooks in that group, who seemed to be very shrewd and capable, and they were good at cooking; And I have worked in a big family, I know the rules, and I don't need to teach anymore. If he chooses men, he must pick those two.

Xia Jin smiled, sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and then said, "Where can I look down on my small business when I come out of a big family?" I'm afraid I won't feel safe doing it here. It's better to buy a few that have just come from the countryside and be honest. ”

"But you're doing business, you want to be shrewd, not honest."

Xia Jin saw that Luo Qian had obviously more words than before, and every sentence was for her good, obviously treating her as a friend. She patiently explained: "I want to study, and there is a medical clinic at home, so I can't stay here all the time." Find a few honest people who don't know each other, and let them contain each other, so that it is easier to control. After all, they don't do dead things, and they still have to collect money when they sell snacks, so it's not okay to be honest. ”

"That's right." Butler Yu echoed on the side, "Those two teenage boys, don't look like they're from the countryside, but they look quite smart, and it's enough to stand at the counter and sell things." ”

Luo Qian shook his head and stopped talking.

In his opinion. How much money can you make from such a small business? I'm afraid that it is for these subordinates to make a living, and it will be almost the same as paying the rent of a small courtyard. Rent of the shop. It may not be able to earn it, but it still has to work so hard!

For this eldest young master who was born with a golden spoon, Xia Jin had nothing to say, put down the teacup and said, "Brother Luo, you are not in good health, go back first." I have something to explain here. ”

Luo Qian also knew that Xia Jin had bought these subordinates, and he had a lot of trivial things to do, and he was very busy. He took his leave.

It took Xia Jin an hour to settle a few of his subordinates, and then slowly went home.

As soon as you enter the door. was caught by Shu Shi and said angrily: "Where did you go?" I can't find you for a long time. Come, come, come to the mother's house. I'll tell you something. ”

"Mother, why are you looking for me, so hot?"

Shu Shi pulled Xia Jin to her room, but after sitting down, she didn't know how to open her mouth.

Xia Jin knew that the Shu family was a person who didn't have any city government, and his joy, anger, sorrow and joy were all on his face. At this time, seeing that although she was anxious, she didn't have a sad expression, so she didn't worry, but felt strange about her stumbling appearance, and asked, "Mother, what do you want to say?" ”

Shu wanted to ask Xia Jin what he thought of Luo Qian and Xing Qingsheng. But when the words came to his lips, he asked about the house: "Your father heard Boss Qin say today that we are a house like this." If you don't have seven or eight taels of rent, you can't rent it at all. And ......"

She told Xia Jin about Xia Zhengqian's analysis one by one.

Xia Jin had already had doubts in his heart about this matter. When she was with Luo Qian just now, she didn't ask about it, because she didn't need to ask about it at all, she knew that Luo Qian helped them. Otherwise. How can there be such a good thing in the world, and it happened to happen to her?

She didn't say anything. It's because she doesn't like to talk about gratitude. I just want to wait until I have money or ability in the future, and then repay it well, instead of saying thank you lightly and it's over.

"Mother, I asked Luo Gongzi about this matter, and it was indeed his help. However, he was afraid because of this illness, and hoped that we would live closer, and if there was any discomfort, he would directly send someone to call us over, and there was no need to run all the way to call someone in a carriage, which delayed the condition. Their family is not short of money, and they said that they would help us pay the rent but were afraid that we would not agree, so they came up with such an excuse to reduce the rent a little. ”

Shu Shi was stunned: "Is that so?" ”

"Isn't that so?" Xia Jin glanced at her, and the next moment he suddenly thought of something, blinked his eyes and asked, "You won't think of going anywhere else, right?" ”

"This, this ......" Shu squeaked.

Now Xia Jin can understand, he can't help but be angry and funny, Bai Shushi glanced at it and said: "You are really cranky, and Luo Gongzi doesn't know that I am a woman, how can I have any thoughts that I shouldn't have?" Even if I know that I am a woman, the relationship between me and him is only the relationship between Lang Zhong and the patient, and nothing else. Take the guesswork out of it. ”

Shu Shi was told by Xia Jin, although he was a little embarrassed, but this heart finally let go.

Luo Qian is fine here, but on the other side of Xing Qingsheng, she can't let go. This son-in-law, she couldn't be more fond of it.

After thinking about it, she decided to mention it anyway, so as to direct her daughter's thoughts to that place.

However, this time she learned to be obedient and knew how to make a detour: "Sister Jin, you are also fourteen years old this year." Do you know that the old lady is talking to her sister? ”

Xia Jin glanced at her strangely: "I'm fourteen years old, what does it have to do with Xia Jin's marriage?" ”

"After discussing the family affairs of my sister, it will be your turn." Shu Shi Dao.

Thinking of the implication contained in this sentence, Xia Jin's heart jumped suddenly. But she didn't make a sound, just stared straight at Shu, waiting for her second half of the sentence.

"The old lady sent your second uncle and second aunt over to no avail, you say, will she make up her mind from your family affairs? Although she is not your father's biological mother, she is still the old lady of the Xia family. She's going to be the master and marry you, and I really can't say anything to your father. ”

Shu originally wanted to use this to lure out the matter of Xingqing's birthday. But after saying this, she suddenly thought of this possibility, and then thought about the old lady who had a history that made Xia Jin happy, and was suddenly scared out of a cold sweat, grabbed Xia Jin's hand and said: "Sister Jin, if you are married by the old lady to that kind of indiscreet family, how can you call your mother to live?" ”

As she spoke, her tears fell.

Xia Jin's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

She is not an ancient native, so she really doesn't have a deep understanding of the aspect of betrothed. In her mind to come. As long as the family is separated, then her family affairs will be decided by Xia Zhengqian and Shu. And with the love of these two for her, as long as she says she doesn't want to. Surely they wouldn't force her.

Now that Shu Shi said this, she realized that even if the family was separated, the old lady could manipulate her life.

There was a flash of coldness and coldness in her eyes.

She didn't have a good impression of the old woman of the Xia family, and if she really couldn't help it, she didn't mind killing the old lady. She believes that with her skills, no one will ever find out that she did it. The yamen couldn't find out anything.

Shu Shi sobbed and wiped away his tears, held Xia Jin's hand and said, "The only plan for now." It's that I and your father have booked the family affair for you first. In this way, the old lady has no choice but to make it bad. ”

Xia Jin raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and looked at Shu Shi steadily.

Although they have not been together for a long time, Xia Zhengqian and Shu are the temperament of this couple. She still knows very well. Shu's is kind and gentle, but he is an unassertive person, and what others say is what he is. According to her temperament, she was so scared that she cried just now, and she would definitely be at a loss to ask "what to do" and "what to do", there is no such urgency, and the next moment she will come up with a solution.

Thinking of this, Xia Jin's tense heart just now suddenly relaxed. She looked at Shu's face and suddenly felt a little funny. However, there was no expression on his face, and he only asked lightly: "Have you ordered your family?" Who do you want to book me to? ”

"Your senior brother, your father and I both think it's good." Shu Shi said the words in his heart casually.

said. She looked at Xia Jin earnestly.

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Xing." Xia Jin's tone was still faint, and after speaking, she smiled.

Shu's intuition felt that her daughter's emotions were wrong.

Shouldn't girls be shy and blush when they talk about this kind of thing? Why is my daughter not only not shy, but also has such a thoughtful expression? Don't. She knew that she and her husband wanted to promise her to Xing Qingsheng, but she resisted in her heart?

"Senior Brother Xing's house. Seems poor, right? Xia Jin suddenly asked.

She wanted to know what Xia Zhengqian and Shu's criteria were for choosing a son-in-law for her.

"It doesn't matter if he is poor, as long as he has his own ability, is willing to be motivated, can support his wife and children, and the most important thing is to be good to you. With your father and mother here, no matter how you are, you won't be able to eat. Shu Shi stroked Xia Jin's hair lovingly.

Xia Jin's gaze softened suddenly. She put her arms around Shu's arms affectionately and put her head on her shoulders.

Shu Shi was surprised and delighted, and even had a feeling of flattery.

Since Xia Jin came back from the dead, there has been no such affectionate behavior towards her. Not only is it not intimate, but sometimes there is alienation in the eyes. This situation made Shu sad for a while.

"Sister Jin'er......" Her nose was sore, and she actually burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Xia Jin sat up straight and looked at her inexplicably.

"It's okay, my mother is fine." Shu Shi hurriedly wiped a handful of tears, and smiled at Xia Jin flatteringly.

Xia Jin sighed secretly, took a handkerchief and carefully wiped Shu Shi's tears, and saw that her emotions had calmed down, so he said with a straight face: "Mother, I'm still young now, and I don't want to get engaged so early." Old lady, if she really interferes in my family affairs, I will deal with it, and I won't let her marry me at will, you can rest assured. Senior Brother Xing, don't say any more. ”

Shu Shi was stunned for a moment, and raised his red eyes: "What, you don't like your senior brother?" ”

Xia Jin shook his head: "It's not a matter of liking it or not, it's that I'm still young, and I haven't thought about it at all." ”

Shu also knew that her daughter was getting more and more ideas, and forcing her would only backfire.

She nodded: "Okay, my mother knows." Let's not mention this matter for now. However, your senior brother is also seventeen years old this year, and it is time to discuss marriage. If he asks someone to order it, it will be too late to regret it. Both my father and mother want you to marry someone who knows your roots. There is only one old lady in your brother's family. I've seen his wife, and she's a kind person. Your senior brother is willing to be motivated and has a good temper, with his medical skills, he can't be rich and expensive, but food and clothing are not a problem. And with your father here, neither he nor his wife dare to treat you badly. So, you think about it. (To be continued)
