Wu Yu pursed his lips, stepped aside, secretly grabbed a chicken leg, and gnawed it without a bite, but as a result, he got another popping chestnut from his sister, so he lazily wiped his mouth and put his hand behind his back.

Amber took the opportunity to snatch the chicken leg over, and took a big bite proudly, Wu Yu was naturally annoyed, and the old and the young grabbed it as before, as if the food was only delicious if they grabbed it.

Rui Xue was helpless, seeing that Zhao Fengnian and the others had already walked back, she stepped forward, Zhao Fengnian took her hand and said with a smile, "Big brother, this is my wife Qin." ”

Without waiting for Rui Xue to bend down and salute, the black-faced man had already bowed to the ground, so shocked that Rui Xue didn't know whether to return the salute first or help him first, the big man's voice was also high, haha laughed, "Sister of the Qin family, my Lao Tie is a rough person, no matter whether you and my second brother have become husband and wife, I will take care of him for you for a few months, I don't dislike his strange temper, I am not afraid to be a widow at any time, my Lao Tie admires you." ”

Rui Xue was praised by him, and said in a low voice, "Big brother is falsely praised, since you marry him, you naturally want to be dedicated to him, how can you dislike it?" Big brother is coming all the way, sit down and rest. ”

Lao Tie waved his hand and took out a thin piece of paper from his arms, slightly yellowish in color, stamped with a bright red seal, very similar to the appearance of some deed paper, "Before I came, I was worried about bringing some thank-you gifts to my sister, just remembered that the fourth brother Bai said, my sister likes to open a shop, just right, when I passed through this city a few years ago, I bought the next shop, and turned over the deed paper and gave it to my sister as a thank you gift, and my sister will go to see it when she has nothing to do." ”

Rui Xue wanted to excuse herself, but Boss Tie couldn't say anything and handed the deed paper to her, she had to look at Zhao Fengnian, Zhao Fengnian nodded lightly, and said with a smile, "We are poor now, the eldest brother has a rich family, he just doesn't give it, I originally planned to rob the rich and help the poor, and ask for one or two shops, but now he took the initiative to give it, how can we push it out." ”

This was said politely and justifiably, and the iron boss shouted, "Okay, you second brother, when I am the rich man of the land." Everyone laughed, and the deep friendship between brothers was undoubtedly evident at this moment.

Everyone sat down again, Caiyun Caiyue added dishes and chopsticks, and the wine glass was raised, in order to get together after a few months of separation, and for Zhao Fengnian and his wife to successfully detoxify, they made a full drink.

Immediately, Tie Boss took Bai Zhanpeng and Mu San, got up and saluted Amber, thanking him for saving his brother, Amber stroked his beard and smiled.

The sunset crossed the wall, passed through the gaps in the laurel leaves, and sprinkled mottled on the tabletop, how far the aroma of wine, vegetables, and love wafted out...

On this night, the four brothers who reunited, talking about the interesting things about the rivers and lakes at the beginning, the anxiety after the separation, and the plans for the future, were all full of emotion, drunk like mud, and did not disperse until the middle of the moon.

Zhao Fengnian still had a trace of clarity in his heart, for fear that the smell of wine would make Ruixue uncomfortable, so he went to the East Chamber, and squeezed together with his brothers to sleep, but he was also fragrant.

On the second day, the brothers wanted to hunt on a whim, and although they each had a kung fu and a portable weapon, they still had to Zhang Dahe turn over a few bows and arrows in the village, hang them on their bodies, and go up the mountain to torture those beasts who did not know the danger was coming.

Rui Xue spread the household ledger on the table, wanting to sort out the income and expenditure of the past two months, since she was pregnant, she didn't pay much attention to these, and now that the poison is gone, vomiting and other pregnancy reactions are also light, so she picked up the ledger again.

Caiyun Caiyue sat on the side and embroidered, her little eyes glanced at the table from time to time, her face was full of envy, and occasionally she was too distracted, so she pricked her fingers and exhaled in low pain, Rui Xue listened and asked, "Why do you always prick your hands, is the tip of the needle blunt?" In the afternoon, if there is embroidery thread and needles in the warehouse, they will be taken out and used. ”

The two Caiyun Caiyue sisters glanced at each other, then bit their lips, and at the same time put down the needlework basket in their hands and knelt on the ground. Ruixue was surprised and asked, "Why did you kneel, but what grievances did you suffer?" ”

Caiyun Caiyue hung her head and said after a while, "Madam, our sisters want to ask Madame for something. ”

"You are always by my side, and you know that I am not a harsh person, and if you say something, why is it so serious to kneel?" Ruixue helped them up and said softly.

Caiyue should be more straightforward in the end, and when she heard this, she said, "Madam, my sister and I want to learn to write and settle accounts with you." ”

"Writing? Accounts? Rui Xue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly patted her forehead and laughed, "How did I forget such an important thing, you are my personal maids, and you will naturally help me settle accounts in the future." There are so many trivial things these days that I forget about them. ”

"Did the lady promise to teach us how to read?" Caiyue asked happily.

Ruixue nodded, "Of course." ”

Caiyun Caiyue cheered, and one left and one right saluted and thanked him, "Mrs. Xie is complete." ”

"You two know that you are motivated, this is a good thing, in the afternoon, let's tidy up the warehouse and reward each of you with a good set of rouge gouache."

The two little girls heard that there was a reward, and they were even more happy, this one poured new tea for Mrs., and the other pinched Mrs. and rubbed her legs, and they were very busy.

The three masters and servants were busy, and Cui Niang came in from the front yard and said with a smile, "Sister, the Tian family sent someone to the door." ”

Rui Xue frowned when she thought of the two women who were betrayed, could it be that the Tian family still sent someone to visit their "insider" life?

When Cui Niang saw her face like this, she knew that she wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly said, "It was Hu Guan who came to the door, and it is said that Mrs. Tian heard that the girl was not feeling well, so she specially sent supplements." ”

As she spoke, she handed over the pale concubine-colored post in her hand, Rui Xue unfolded it and looked at it, a few rows of extremely beautiful small characters, and carefully wrote some polite words of concern, and the payment was the name of Mrs. Tian's family, and finally a gift list was sandwiched, mostly some good medicinal herbs and cloth snacks and other things. Presumably, this is because Mrs. Tian knew that Master Tian acted inappropriately and caused her to almost have a miscarriage, so she deliberately apologized under the pretext of visiting the patient.

In fact, although this incident was caused by Master Tian, in the end, people did not have any bad intentions, but it was just a bad atmosphere of literati. Now that they are sending people to apologize like this, and if they don't forgive, it seems that their family is too stingy.

Rui Xue sent Caiyun to welcome the Hu steward in, smiled and asked how the old lady of the Tian family was, and then rewarded him with a big reward of two taels, leaving him for lunch and then returning to the city. Steward Hu just wanted to inquire, so he thanked him.

In the front yard, Cui Niang arranged a small table of four dishes, and Zhang Dahe accompanied the Hu steward to eat and drink, while talking about the trivial matters of the two mansions and the new things in the city today, which was also lively.

Rui Xue took the account book, thinking that Mrs. Tian had always treated her well, so she thought about making some snacks as a gift in return. It just so happened that yesterday the second uncle of the Yun family sent some fresh mushrooms over, washed them and cut them into cubes, mixed them with chopped vegetables, ham, dried shrimp, etc., wrapped some small Luohan dumplings, and placed them neatly in the food box one by one.

Mrs. Tian heard that there was nothing wrong with the Hu steward talking about the Zhao family, and Rui Xue's complexion was also good, so she was relieved, and then looked at the little dumplings like ingots, and she loved and regretted them more and more.

moved here from Wudu, leaving the circle of acquaintances, and there is no one to talk to on weekdays, if the daughter and husband don't cause these incidents, such a clever woman will definitely be a handkerchief to talk to her.

For three or four days in a row, Zhao Fengnian walked around the mountains, got up early and went out, came back at night with rich prey, drank wine in a big bowl, and ate meat, but he was happy and tight, but it made a lot of beasts in the mountains bitter, and it also made Ruixue feel bored. But she didn't know what to say, so she simply took the deed paper, and planned to go into the city to see the new shop and find something to do.

As usual, Yun Xiaoliu set up the car, and brought Caiyun Caiyue and two girls, but he didn't go out yet, Wu Yu took Da Zhuang and Heizi to listen to the letter somewhere, and ran back like crazy, he must follow, Rui Xue estimated that he couldn't delay his homework in the afternoon, so he nodded, and the three boys cheered, squeezed on the front wheel, laughing all the way, and from time to time startled the birds and birds in the mountains and forests flying around.

Soon, the carriage entered the city, turned around and asked many passers-by, and finally found the shop written on the deed paper.

It is a two-story small wooden building located in the Dongcheng residential area, with a corridor pillar hugging one person, slightly upturned eaves, carved doors and windows, showing that the person who built this small building was attentive, it is very delicate and small, and there is a spacious small courtyard behind the building.

It's a pity, the iron boss doesn't know what he did with this place at the beginning, what business he opened, and then he really threw it to the back of his head, the front and rear doors were locked, no one took care of it, let the years destroy, now the window paper has been broken, the pillars are mottled with paint, and the cyan tile roof on the courtyard wall has not been moved away by anyone, it is really embarrassing.

Yun Xiaoliu parked the carriage under a willow tree on the side of the road, and then went to the neighbor next to him to borrow an axe, and quickly split the iron lock, causing two passers-by who lived nearby to come forward to ask, and saw Ruixue take out the deed paper before smiling, "This lady shouldn't be, such a good place, even if you open a teahouse, everyone has a place to talk on weekdays, why have you been idle for three or four years." If you don't need it at home, it's good to rent it out. ”

Rui Xue was innocent and blamed, but she was not angry, but she was glad that the people here seemed to be very enthusiastic, and said with a smile, "The owner of this restaurant went to the south because of an urgent matter, and he didn't have time to explain, and he rushed back in the past few days to resell the small building to me. ”

When the passers-by heard this, they arched their hands and laughed away.

Yun Xiaoliu returned the axe, went in first to take a look, and made sure that there were no mice or any stolen goods, so he invited Ruixue in.

The first floor of the small building is a lobby, with some tables and chairs scattered at random, and there are some wine jars and other things in the counter at the door, and the second floor is divided into six small private rooms, but it is empty. The small courtyard behind the building is divided into a large kitchen, east and west wings, ear rooms, and a well surrounded by bluestone in the corner of the courtyard, which can be regarded as having all five organs.
