Chapter 91: Self-defeating

Ling put away the wooden box on the table, and when he turned around, he saw Shaohua sitting in place in a daze, and couldn't help but stand still. He walked over and touched her head, touched her hand, and then said to himself, "Okay, I'm not sick." Shaohua was shocked by Ling's actions. Auntie, what's wrong. ”

Ling Shi frowned, looking at her with a strange look in his eyes, "I'm just going to ask you what's wrong." I just saw that your brother Boyan was here, and you didn't care. Don't you always like to cling to him? Ling didn't have a good idea to say just now, seeing that Shaohua didn't make trouble with him as before, Bo Yan was obviously very disappointed, but he always loved to laugh, and he didn't let people see much detail.

Shaohua opened her mouth, wanting to say that the visitor was a guest, but thinking about it, the relationship between her and Bo Yan should not be like that of the host and guest, and it should be closer than ordinary cousins and siblings. But in the end, it was not the real Li Wuniang, and she didn't know how to speak, and she chose not to speak quietly in accordance with the principle of saying more and making more mistakes. It's just that she clearly felt that something was wrong with Bo Yan's eyes looking at her, as if she could see through her.

The more she did, the more she didn't dare to speak, so she simply hid behind Wanhua and listened quietly to their conversation.

It's just that Shaohua didn't know that it was precisely because of her silence that Bo Yan felt even more wrong.

"I think Brother Boyan must be angry, you ignore him." Shaohua was stunned, and didn't know how to reply, Wanhua glanced at her and said, "It's been a year, you look like a living person, can he not make trouble in his heart?" ”

"Don't scare Wu Niang, Bo Yan is not as shallow as you say." Ling's words made Shaohua's heart go back into his stomach.

"Ah Niang, I'm fourteen this year, and I can't mess with Brother Boyan like before." This is the most convincing reason that Shaohua has come up with.

Wanhua didn't take it seriously, and laughed and teased: "So you know, I thought you were four years old." ”

Shaohua immediately complained to the Ling family: "Ah Niang, the third sister bullied me again. Ling shook his head with a smile, indicating that he would not mix with the quarrel between the sisters, Wanhua ignored his sister's complaints, and continued to laugh: "In the past, we went to Pu'an to pick you up, but every time you cried and made a fuss, hugging Brother Boyan's leg and refusing to come back, and saying that you are the wife of your uncle's family. Makes Daddy so angry that he doesn't want to take you home. ”

Shaohua was stunned for a moment and asked the Ling family for help: "Did I really do this?" ”

Ling nodded, Shaohua secretly made a mistake, no wonder Bo Yan looked at her so wrong just now. I think she just needs to show her true nature and play around, but she is afraid of showing her feet, so she obediently became a lady for a while, but it turned out to be self-defeating, which made people suspicious. I don't know if Bo Yan will talk to Old Man Ling about her strange appearance after he goes back, Shaohua secretly wrote down in his heart that he must know a lot about the affairs of the Ling family, and he can't save himself from meeting again next time.

Shaohua was making up his mind, but Ling Shi recalled his previous memories because of this, and his tone was actually sighing.

"It's no wonder, Bo Yan looks like your uncle, Wu Niang follows me, and the three of us brothers and sisters look the same way, it's not an exaggeration to say that Bo Yan and Wu Niang are brothers and sisters." looked down at Shaohua, she was used to her temperament, but she didn't mention what happened just now.

"Like?" Shaohua touched his face, although it was still fleshy, it was much better than before.

"It's not like it now, it's very similar when I was a child, it's even more similar than you and Sanniang!" Ling Shi was amused by her actions, and also went to pinch her little face, Wanhua also thought it was funny, and went up to trouble her, Shaohua immediately covered his face and ran away.

Wanhua couldn't compare to Shaohua's skills, and she was tired after running a few steps, so she didn't want to take care of her, so she sat down next to Ling's side. "Ah Niang, is Brother Bo Yan just coming to see Wu Niang?" Although he knew that Shaohua and Bo Yan were childhood sweethearts, compared to his uncle's relatives, Wan Hua was still quite kind to Bo Yan who was older than him.

"Naturally not, I asked your uncle to buy two more Zhuangzi, although it is not big, but the feng shui is excellent, and it is not lost to Yan Shangju. Seeing that you are also going out, this title deed will naturally be sent back, and some people will be sent away, and we will go over another day to see. Ling opened the wooden box in his arms, and the sisters leaned over curiously, only to see a stack of papers neatly placed in the box.

One by one, except for the title deed of Zhuangzi, the others are all deeds of sale.

"Why are there so many?" Shaohua counted carefully, there must be at least thirty.

The Li family has its own rules that only two close maids are allowed around each lady, and no more than eight other rough maids are allowed. There are no more than six maids in Langjun's house, especially after enlightenment, maids are not allowed to enter the inner room or study. In order to prevent a few maids who have broken their hearts and eyes, they want to climb onto the master's bed with their posture. Therefore, even if he is a romantic gentleman like Si Yan, he has never made trouble.

Each garden has its own sewing room, which is responsible for the clothes, hats, shoes and socks of all the people in the yard, and several embroidery girls with outstanding craftsmanship are responsible for the clothes of the master. The women's underwear is in charge of the big maid, and Lang Jun's is made by the big maid in the lady's house. Therefore, there are more maids in the lady's house than the lady, two to eight are uncertain, Chuhe and Youhan were originally just embroiderers, and in order to return to Shaohua, they were specially moved from the sewing room to the house to serve.

Generally speaking, after Lang Jun is fifteen years old, the housewife will pick a few good maids from the needlework room to Lang Jun as a maid. That's how the Su family was arranged to Li Xunzhuo's side.

But Li Sijin is a nerd, and he loves books far more than he loves beauty, and Liu has always been worried about whether his son has something wrong with him. Li Ge didn't care much about this, and felt that Li Sijin was so promising. As for Li Sijin, because he loves to read, he is not close to women, Li Sinian did not have a room, and the girl was purely because Pang was so sick that he had no time to take care of himself, so he didn't have so much heart to care about the things in Li Sinian's house. Qiu's mother picked two girls for Li Sinian for Pang Zi, but after staying in the house for a day, Li Sinian kicked them out in the cold in the name of being an eyesore.

Because of this, Xin Zixuan brought all the companions to the door by herself, and Liu stuffed four flower-like maids in one go. It's just that when they came back from Liang Ping, there was only one purple mandarin left, and Hongling was bought back by Xin Zixuan from Liang Ping.

"You think that all of them are the same as our family, in other big families, a lady is accompanied by four big maids, four second-class maids, and seven or eight rough sweeping maids and mothers-in-law." The Ling family felt that these thirty people were not enough, so they decided to call people into the mansion tomorrow, buy a few more, first adjust * for a few days, see the situation, and then pick some to marry with them.

"But, didn't you say that it would be good to let Hanzhang and Shuyu marry each other?" Shaohua said sullenly.

"That's close-fitting, you have to pick someone who can do things with you, otherwise you won't even have a good hand when you get to your husband's house, how can you call someone." The Ling family doesn't blame Shaohua for not understanding this, and the old man Ling is also a person who doesn't like to fill the house with maids, which is very similar to the old man of the in-laws. The Ling family has lived in Beijing for a long time, and has a lot of dealings with various dignitaries and nobles, and they will know more about the etiquette rules of the people next to them.

"Yan Niang has six big girls around her, and she has a needlework room by herself." Wanhua was a little envious of this.

Shaohua then remembered that every time he went to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, it was indeed crowded everywhere, at first because he was a guest, and later he learned that most of them were maids. The huge Hou Mansion, if there are not so many people, it is indeed very troublesome.

"Go back and buy more than a dozen girls and put them away, and you can pick some you like and take them with you. Shuyu made her feel at ease at home, there is an empty person in your house, find a person to make up for it first, and then talk about it, you can't let Hanzhang take everything away. Ling ordered carefully.

Wanhua also thinks it is reasonable, if he only has a chapter, many things are dragged on, and he can't do it all the time.

Ling thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm just thinking about whether to sell one and set up a three-entry courtyard in Beijing." "Because of the previous incident of the examiner taking bribes, many people were investigated and punished in a row, and some of them were eye-catching and secretly let people throw out the house at hand. However, the master was arrested, and the house was detained. Now that people have done it, things have been settled, some houses have been taken away by the government, and those confiscated have fallen into the hands of a few people.

But after all, most of them are not free, and it is useless to pinch the title deed, so it is safer to get rid of it as soon as possible and exchange it for some silver taels.

The Ling family is trying to take advantage of this to set up some yards, so that they can have more family foundations for themselves.

"What are you going to do with buying a yard, are we going to move out?" Shaohua listened to Ling's words and asked curiously.

"Of course, it's for your sister and brother-in-law to use in the future, and your uncle is not the eldest son, and he doesn't have any family business to inherit, so why do you still live together to attract suspicion." Wanhua listened to Shaohua's question, and was about to scold her a few words, but she didn't expect Ling to change her words and even change her name. It made her blush, and before she could open her mouth, the Ling family issued an eviction order and drove them all back.

"Yes, you all go back, Lianxiang, go and call me Fugui, I want to ask about something."

Hearing what the Ling family said, the sisters couldn't delay any longer, got up and saluted the Ling family, and then retreated.

Although it is not yet time to settle down, there are still a lot of things to do when it comes to preparing for happy events. Rao is Ling family has prepared a dowry for her daughter early, but at this time and that time, now the family background is not comparable to before, open, dark, and Liangcheng, Ling has long felt that the previous office was too shabby, but the future son-in-law is still from the county lord's family, so he has done it again.

Li Xunzhuo made the shop in Liangcheng very prosperous. I thought that I would be excluded by others, and I didn't dare to publicize it, but when Liangcheng heard about the merchants of the Central Plains, they were all very popular. Almost every time there is a purchase, it will be snatched up. Some people make money, and naturally some people are red-eyed, and the fat of Liangcheng has been sitting for many years, and no one has dared to move, and they all thought that they had been frozen by ice and snow and it was difficult to eat. Now that they have been robbed of the lead by a nobody, how can they be left behind. Everyone is vying to sell goods first, although they have made a lot of money, but no one has the luck of Li Xunzhuo's side.

Li Xunzhuo watched his business getting better and better, and he couldn't sit still at home, always looking for an opportunity to go out. If he hadn't heard that Lingjing was unstable, Li Xunzhuo would have run out a long time ago.

As soon as Shaohua stepped into Biwuxuan, he called Wanhua, "Third sister." ”

Wanhua turned around, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Shaohua suddenly screamed with a hippie smile, "Third brother-in-law!" ”

Wanhua suddenly blushed with shame, and ran over to twist her angrily, "You are going to die!" ”

Shaohua couldn't dodge, she was caught by her, she twisted her body and took off Wanhua's hand, "Third sister, don't be shy, no matter how long it is, it won't last half a year." ”

Seeing Jinhua walking towards them with a gloomy face, Shaohua retreated while making trouble, Wanhua's eyes were sick, and he shouted: "You bad girl...... Be careful! ”

Shaohua didn't pay attention, took a step back and just bumped into Jinhua, but fortunately, he closed his feet quickly and didn't step on her. Hurriedly jumped away, turned around and apologized to Jinhua: "I'm sorry, Qi Niang is okay, right?" ”

was already on fire, but when Shaohua made such a fuss, Jinhua immediately became furious: "Fifth sister, can't you walk with eyes?" He rubbed his chest that was hurt by Shaohua's elbow, and glanced at Shaohua viciously.
