"This gentleman doesn't have to be so embarrassed, although the little woman's house is not rich, but she lives in a mountain village, the environment is good, there is no shortage of food, the family has opened a new workshop, there is a lack of a gatehouse, if the old man does not dislike it, you can go to our house to do things."

The middle-aged man immediately showed a relieved look on his face, but instead asked, "This old man is old..."

Rui Xue heard that he was a little worried about the old man being discarded when he was old, and he was even more satisfied with his character, so he said, "He does things for our house, and our house will naturally bear the responsibility of the afterlife." ”

The middle-aged man blushed a little, after all, Rui Xue came out to save the old man just now, he still doubts the character of others, and it is a bit rude, so he quickly got up and saluted, Rui Xue invited him to sit down, chatted for a while, the topic faintly involved some poetry and history, and sure enough, I found that this person was a talented learner, but for some reason he came to Lingfeng City, and it seemed that he didn't have a family, but this was people's privacy, so she naturally didn't ask more.

When asked if the old man was willing to go back to the house with her, the old man actually made a lot of requests, why should there be meat in every meal, a bowl of wine a day, and a Nanmu coffin when he died. Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they condemned the old man for not knowing how to raise his head.

Ruixue frowned a little at first, but after occasionally seeing a flash of interest and cunning in the old man's eyes, her heart suddenly tightened for no reason, and she responded to all the requests, and even Wu Yu objected, she insisted on taking the old man back to the house.

Everyone felt that Rui Xue was kind just now, but at this time, they felt that she had a big head, and they talked and laughed in a low voice, and that's it.

Rui Xue asked the middle-aged man again, "The little woman talked to Mr. for a few words, and I felt that Mr. was amazingly learned, if Mr. didn't dislike it, the private school in our house still lacked Mr. teaching, and was willing to hire Mr. to teach with the bundle of five taels of silver a month, what does Mr. think?" ”

The middle-aged man and his friend glanced at each other, and their faces were even more joyful, and the middle-aged man said, "Naturally, thank you for your appreciation." ”

The friend also said, "Thank you, madam, congratulations to Brother Zhong." ”

After the matter was resolved, everyone was happy, Rui Xue made an appointment with Mr. Zhong, and after picking him up in Wuyi Lane in the east of the city tomorrow, he would take the carriage back to the village, after all, with an old man, it was not good to go to a few more shops to hang out.

The old man sat on the wheel in front of him, talking to Yun Xiaoliu lively, asking this and that from time to time, hearing Ruixue, who was originally worried about his injury, was a little crying and laughing, could it be that she picked up a strange old man and came back?

After a while, when he arrived at the front of his house, Zhang Dahe was walking out, and when he saw the carriage coming back, he came over to help park the car and take things, Cui Niang was preparing a meal with Yingzi and pomegranates, and she heard the movement and ran out, Ruixue slowly got out of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, after eating, I will clean up the room next to the big kitchen, and I will bring an old man back, and I will be the gatekeeper of our house in the future." ”

When the old man heard this, he said, "My surname is Ann!" ”

His voice was sharp, and he didn't say hello, he suddenly shouted, which scared Rui Xue trembling, Cui Niang was distressed, frowned and glared at the old man, but Rui Xue didn't say anything, and said, "Remember to prepare a set for Amber again, a change of clothes, and a bed." ”

Cui Niang helped her go inside, and said, "Okay, I'll look at these things and make arrangements, you go in and rest, I cooked meatball soup at noon, and steamed fragrant rice, you can eat more." ”

The old man leaned against the wall, watching everyone busy, his sagging eyelids drooped, hiding a gleam in his eyes...

At the dinner table, Rui Xue told Zhao Fengnian about hiring another husband, but he was very worried about him, before, Rui Xue was not pregnant, he was busy, and he didn't feel anything, but now he feels that he can't wait to be by her side from time to time, and he is busy in the morning and afternoon, so he is a little bored. Now it is best to bring back a learned gentleman, because the children cannot delay their schoolwork, and he also has time to spare.

While eating, the couple discussed, and arranged the private school in the East Garden, the big room was used as a place for the children to attend classes, and the smaller room was separated from the inside and outside, and the bed was placed inside, making a bedroom, and the bookshelves and desks were placed outside, which was a place for the husband to read and write.

At the beginning, the house was spacious and generous, and no matter how it was arranged, it would not seem narrow, so it would not make Mr. feel sluggish.

As for the concierge's Amber, Zhao Fengnian only answered, and didn't take it to heart, after all, Rui Xue is famous for her kindness, and she can adopt the young Kexin, so naturally she is not short of a helpless old man, and there is no shortage of food at home and right, so she should be coaxed to rejoice.

These two things are settled. After eating and taking a nap, when she woke up, Rui Xue went to Yun's house to see Kexin, the bruises on the little girl's body were much better, giggled, grabbed a rattle in her little hand, and shook it with curiosity, which made Tie Dan also turn her little head, and then reached out to scratch and join in the fun.

Rui Xue hugged Ke Xin, teased for a while, and watched the Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bathing the child, Second Aunt Yun said mysteriously, "Boss, Ke Xin's father came last night, I want to see Ke Xin, I don't know if my conscience has found out, my second uncle didn't let him in under the pretext that we were all sleeping." I just heard that Liu Qiniang went back to her parents' house early this morning, and we were still worried about her bringing her mother's brother to fight, but I didn't expect that there was no movement. ”

Rui Xue smiled faintly and handed them a clean cloth towel, "This matter, no matter how you say it, it's their daughter's fault, if it spreads, the entire Dongshan Pass girls will be affected, but if there are some scheming, it is impossible for her to make trouble again." ”

Osmanthus also said, "No, as soon as the word spreads, everyone says that the girl in Dongshan Pass is vicious, and it depends on who dares to marry." After speaking, she sighed and said, "However, I heard that Daddy Kexin went to the city to look for a job, but he didn't find a suitable one, and I'm afraid that he will burn charcoal again in the autumn." ”

Aunt Yun glared at her daughter-in-law, as if she was afraid that she would say that Rui Xue would be soft-hearted, and answered, "He has been poured ecstasy soup by that Liu Qi Niang, and it is not good for his own daughter, who else can he be good to?" If you don't let him leave the workshop, you may not be able to do something bad by his vicious mother-in-law in the future. ”

Rui Xue took the heart that was getting whiter and cleaner, and kissed her on the forehead, which made the little girl giggle and laugh again, and Caiyun Caiyue looked like it, and also stepped forward to tease her. Rui Xue said, "The bubbles on his feet are his own, and the Qian family will have nothing to do with us in the future, when Kexin gets married, it is naturally good that he is willing to be present, and he is not willing to be present, and there are also our families to support Kexin, and her in-laws dare not treat her badly." ”

"Yes." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yun family echoed, and for a while everyone picked up some interesting things and said, when the sun was in the west, Ruixue went back to her house, in front of the door, the newly appointed porter Amber was leaning under the big tree, sleeping heavily, Cui Niang stood aside with an annoyed face, and when she saw her coming back, she said, "Sister, this porter is a loss, I ate four steamed buns and two dishes at noon, and I slept in the afternoon, and I didn't do any work." ”

Rui Xue shook her head indifferently and said with a smile, "There are many people in our house, how can anyone dare to steal from the door in broad daylight?" You don't have to keep it all the time. However, I heard that there is a bit of a fever on your main road, so you should quickly clean up and go home. ”

Cui Niang rubbed her hands, she waited for Rui Xue to come back, and it was for this reason that she heard her say this, hurriedly threw down a sentence, made ginseng stewed chicken soup in the kitchen, and then went home.

Caiyun trotted a few steps to the end, and Caiyue helped Rui Xue to walk slowly inside, but she didn't know that Amber had sharp ears, and her aging body was unusually sensitive in a few steps, which scared Rui Xue, and saw that his face was full of salivation, so he said, "Amber, but something?" ”

Amber laughed dryly twice and said, "Madame will reward the old man with a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup to drink, the old man has lived all his life, and he has never tasted what ginseng tastes like?" ”

Caiyue raised her eyebrows, and scolded, "Why don't you old man know what to do, that ginseng is for Mrs. to replenish her body, how can she give it to you?" ”

Rui Xue said, "I drink it every day, and I'm a little bored, Cui Niang must have cooked a lot, so let's give Amber a bowl." ”

Caiyue was helpless, glared at Amber indignantly, and helped Ruixue to continue walking towards the courtyard, leaving Amber standing outside the second gate with an anxious and coveted face.

After dinner in the evening, the Zhao family and his wife lay on the kang, snuggling up to each other, and they could hear the night breeze whistling outside the window, the birds chirping low, and the heartbeat of each other, which was extremely warm.

What Rui Xue thought, Amber was a little unusual old man, so she told Zhao Fengnian her doubts, "Shopkeeper, Amber I picked up during the day, it seems to be a little unusual, but I can't tell what's wrong, the old man seems to be very thin, but his movements are very sensitive, and he was beaten by others during the day, I asked Yun Xiaoliu to give him medicine, but he said that he was not hurt, and he could eat and sleep." Most importantly, I always felt that he was beaten and led me to help, which was a coincidence. You say, could he be a commercial spy? ”

"Commercial espionage? What is that? Zhao Fengnian was originally anxious, Bai Zhanpeng had no news yet, and when he heard Ruixue speak, he responded indiscriminately, but when he heard the end, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"Commercial espionage is that each peer sends people to each other's shops to do internal responses, stealing some important information back and telling their masters. You say, could this old man come with our tofu recipe? Rui Xue didn't know if it was about to have a child, and when she spoke to Zhao Fengnian, she became more and more careless, every time she said something weird, she could explain two sentences at most, and Zhao Fengnian would not ask to the end every time, and the two were tacitly very harmonious.

"I'm busy during the day, what does Amber look like when I don't see him? However, if it is sent by another family, well, a spy, how can you also be a young descendant, so that you can only be an old man who is a porter, it is useless. ”

Rui Xue nodded, "But also, he can't go into the workshop to work, how can he steal the recipe." ”

Zhao Fengnian turned to talk about the arrangements after Mr. Tomorrow was brought in, and the husband and wife discussed a few words in a low voice, Rui Xue was pregnant, and she couldn't bear to be sleepy, so she gradually fell asleep.

Zhao Fengnian heard that his wife in his arms was breathing evenly and long, so he slowly pulled out his arm, got up and covered the quilt for her, then opened the door and went out, went to the window of the West Wing, and knocked lightly twice.
