Jiang Wanmu, who was standing under the eaves, glanced at the newly empty and deserted courtyard, and looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky. Ji Yan entered the courtyard and didn't see Jiang Wanya and Jiang Wanqing, she was a little surprised, then turned around and closed the open courtyard door. Walked quickly to the eaves and said to Jiang Wanmu: "Miss, it's freezing outside, you can quickly go into the room and warm up your body with some hot food." ”

Jiang Wanmu glanced at her and asked, "Did you come back from the meal first?" Ji Yan smiled and nodded: "I listened to the young lady, I had a meal in the big kitchen, and I listened to them by the way." Jiang Wanmu nodded with a smile, took the lunch box in her hand, and said, "You go and help Fang Zheng make shoes." A few days ago, when Jiang Wanmu went to the tea house again, when she looked at the uniformly dressed clerks, she inadvertently looked down at the shoes on their feet, only the Fangzheng shoes were the oldest and worst.

After she came back, she bought the fabric for making shoes, and immediately asked Ji Yan to help Fang Zheng and Mugen make shoes, and said to her: "In a famous store, the image of the clerk is the most important." We can't let the small be bad and the big is big, we have to make them both align from top to bottom. Hearing this, Ji Yan thought that Jiang Wanmu was thinking about her brother and Mu Gen, so she immediately nodded and said, "Miss, I will make a few more pairs of beautiful shoes for them." ”

Jiang Wanmu turned around and entered the room at this time, Ji Yan looked at her back, swallowed the news she heard in the big kitchen back into her stomach, and held back her strength not to say it. She walked briskly into her room, and took all the things she had to make shoes out of needlework and fabric. came out and stretched out his hand to pat Jiang Wanmu's door and said, "Miss, I want to do things in your room, I won't quarrel with you." Jiang Wanmu's voice came out with a smile: "Come in." ”

Jiang Wanmu sat in the room and dined, raised her eyes to look at Ji Yan who came in, and said, "When are you so polite?" Before you come in, you will tell me, don't you make a noise with me? Ji Yan smiled and sat down at the table, looked up and said, "Miss, I said this to make you happy after hearing it." Jiang Wanmu glanced at her with a smile, and Ji Yan took out the soles of the shoes he was making at this time. After Jiang Wanmu saw it, she stopped the chopsticks that were about to pick up the vegetables and said, "Ji Yan, you make a few more layers of soles." So that the soles are thicker, and they wear them. The feet will be warmer a bit. ”

Ji Yan raised his head, looked at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, I also want to make a few more layers of soles, but there are many layers, and the soles are thicker." I don't have that good needles that I can use to get on the soles. Jiang Wanmu frowned slightly after hearing this, and said to her, "You prepare a few more layers of soles first." I'll go out tomorrow and go to the blacksmith's shop, and ask the master to help me make a few good needles for you to use on the soles of your shoes. ”

Ji Yan rejoiced when he heard it. smiled and said, "Miss, I've heard that kind of shop is inside." There is a special thread on the sole, which is easy to use and wear-resistant. You can buy some for me too. Hee-hee, I'll give you the monthly money later. Jiang Wanmu glanced at her with a smile and said, "Your young lady still has this little money, save your own money, and use it for your own dowry in the future." ”

Ji Yan's face flushed slightly, and he said in a small voice: "Miss's money is to prepare for the dowry." I heard the fourth lady in the big kitchen who came to order food say, 'The old lady at home gave Miss Fourth a particularly good red cloth for her to use as a wedding dress.' Madame put the fabric of the wedding dress that Miss Fourth wanted to use early. Delivered to her room. ’”

After Ji Yan finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Wanmu, who was eating, and saw that she didn't mind. also smiled and said: "Then I want to congratulate Miss Four, I am happy to marry the fabric." She said that. Sweep away the food on the table. Ji Yan put down the things in his hand, stood up to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Jiang Wanmu with a sigh: "Miss, Mrs. has not sent us the fabric of the wedding dress to us until now. I see that if the young lady is rich, it is better to prepare her own wedding clothes. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wanmu laughed out loud and said, "Ji Yan, Madam is not old and confused now, she knows that I can't do needlework, and she may not be able to rest assured of your needlework." There is no need to worry about this, I think that when the time comes, she will arrange for someone in the sewing room to help me catch up with the wedding dress. ”

Jiang Wanmu's own family affairs were naturally arranged by the Jiang family. She has no extravagant hopes for her own family affairs and the days after marriage, so naturally she will not have expectations, nor will she have the idea of taking care of the dowry by herself. She chuckled and remembered the preparation of the wedding dress, what did it matter to her? As long as someone passes by then, she will change her yard and continue to live.

Ji Yan glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who stood up, bit the corner of his mouth and said, "Miss, aren't you happy about this family business?" I heard from the aunts in the big kitchen that it was a good family business. Miss, in the days to come, you will definitely have a good life. Jiang Wanmu glanced at Ji Yan, looked at her eyes that were even more excited than herself, nodded and said, "Gao is not happy, I have to get married, and I will not stay in this courtyard forever." Hopefully, as they say, it's a good family affair. Ji Yan, about my own money, you have to keep in mind, you must never mention it to the second person. Jiang Wanmu said later, remembering to remind Ji Yan again not to lose his mouth.

After Jiang Wanmu got the deed of Ji Yan and Mu Gen that day, she completely let go of her precaution against Ji Yan. A few days ago, she came back from outside and put a silver ticket of one hundred taels on the table. Ji Yan inadvertently bumped in, and when she saw the silver ticket on the table, her eyes were so wide that her eyeballs were about to fall, and her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

Jiang Wanmu turned back from behind the screen, saw her expression, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "Is it worth being so surprised?" It's just a silver ticket of one hundred taels. Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully reached out and touched the silver ticket, and quickly retracted his hand, saying, "Miss, is this really a silver ticket that can be used?" It's the first time I've seen a silver ticket of this kind when I've grown so big.

The last time my father went out to buy something, he received a silver ticket of fifty taels from the steward. When my mother found out, she chased after him and told him that she should be careful and never lose it. Otherwise, if we sell our family, we won't be able to pay back so many silver taels. After Jiang Wanmu heard her words, she reached out and patted her on the head, and said, "Ji Yan, as long as you follow my heart, you can listen to my arrangement and do things with all your heart." I believe that one day, we will be as good as those silver dual-use. ”

Ji Yan listened to Jiang Wanmu's words at that time, smiled and nodded again. Jiang Wanmu reminded her: "Ji Yan, I can't let the Jiang family know about the things I can make money outside now, and I can't let other people know about it." Only you know that I have money on me, you have to remember, you must not say it. You're going to say it, and we'll all finish it together. Ji Yan stuck out his tongue at that time and hurriedly said, "Miss, I will write down your words." I wouldn't even mention it to my mother. ”

Ji Yan now heard Jiang Wanmu mention this again, and blushed and said, "Miss, I was wrong. My young lady has no money, and everything can only be arranged by my wife. Jiang Wanmu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her and said, "Hmm." Madame must have a good idea of my dowry. The wedding dress or something, the lady will arrange it. Ji Yan, don't think about it too much, you just make your shoes well, your young lady can't read and write, she will just sit in a daze. ”

Ji Yan lowered his head and did needlework for a while, and looked up at the young lady who could only be in a daze, writing with a serious expression. Ji Yan looked at her, his eyes were red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to work. What kind of life Jiang Wanmu lived in the Jiang family, no one knew better than Ji Yan. Over the years, Jiang Wanmu doesn't have to say hello to the elders in the family, she is the one who is eternally absent from all the happy events and gatherings of the Jiang family.

Ji Yan thought that she was loved by her father and brother, and Miss seemed to be the only one. Jiang Wanmu finished writing the plan for the day, put down the pen in her hand, and moved her hands and feet at will. She glanced at Ji Yan, who was sitting on the side, and looked at her in surprise, looking at the soles of her shoes, tears falling down her eyes. She hurriedly walked over and said, "Ji Yan, these shoes can't be finished for a while, you don't have to cry in a hurry." I'm free now, and I help with the middle soles. ”

Ji Yan stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on his face, looked up at Jiang Wanmu embarrassedly, and said, "Miss, I don't worry about shoes, my mother will help me do it." I just thought about it a little more, and I couldn't help but feel sad and cry. Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan, thinking that her father and mother loved her and her brother cared for her. If there is something sad, it can only be the little girl's first feelings and the things of her sweetheart that can cause her to be sad.

Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan carefully, looked at her pretty little face, and thought that she had a docile temperament and should be the desired person in the minds of many boys. She approached Ji Yan and said with a smile, "Ji Yan, do you like anyone?" You don't dare to tell him, or your family, so you can only hide and cry. Tell me that I can hear if the man is trustworthy or not, and then help you talk to your mother. Ji Yan's face was so red that she could drip red water in an instant, and she stomped her foot and said, "I don't like anyone." ”

Such auspicious words made Jiang Wanmu feel that she had her own carefulness. Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan with a smile, saw her stand up, and said, "It's not early, I'll go outside to take a look." Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan who was hiding, and only felt that her youth was so beautiful that she was innocent, and she completely forgot that she was a teenager.

Jiang Wanmu followed Ji Yan out of the room, stood under the eaves, looked at the snow piled up in the yard again, and turned around to get a shovel. Jiang Wanmu was shoveling the first shovel of snow when the courtyard door rang, and a voice called 'Ji Yan' came out. Ji Yan's door opened, and she replied loudly, "It's here." ”

She looked at Jiang Wanmu in the courtyard, and her little face, which was no longer red, turned red again. She hurriedly ran past Jiang Wanmu, and quietly warned her, saying, "Miss, in front of my mother and outsiders, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Wanmu looked at her with white eyes and said softly, "Go and open the door." (To be continued.)
