On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the Jiang family was lively. After the New Year, Yu Xianxiao fell ill again, and her illness only aroused a shallow question in the Jiang family. Mrs. Jiang said to Master Jiang: "The doctor has seen Aunt Yu and said that she is not in good health, but I am afraid that there will not be long days. Master, you have time to visit her that day, talk to her by the way, and comfort her heart. "No one knows how Master Jiang answered. I only know that everyone in the Jiang family once again knows that Mrs. Jiang is virtuous and considerate, and she doesn't care about others.

The weather was a little warmer, Jiang Wanmu changed into a coarse cloth dress, and said to Ji Yan standing in her room: "I'm going out for a while, no matter who comes, you help me block it." However, generally no one comes to my yard. Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanmu with a worried face and said, "Miss, you still have to wait for Brother Mugen to be free and let him go out with you." "Mugen is getting older, he is smart, his temperament is exceptionally obedient, he is favored by the outside steward of the Jiang family, and sometimes he will take him out to do something.

Jiang Wanmu heard Ji Yan's words, and hurriedly said to her: "The next time you have the opportunity to see Mu Gen, don't talk nonsense with him, I went out." Ji Yan, I will go out, look for opportunities, and have a long experience, so that I will not be deceived in the future. After Ji Yan heard this, he looked disapproving, looked at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, it's very messy outside." Don't think about finding something to do, I'll do needlework to support the two of us in the future. Hearing this, Jiang Wanmu laughed, reached out to touch her head, and praised her, "Okay." I'm waiting for you to raise. I'm still going to go out. ”

Jiang Wanmu walked out of the Jiang family along the back door where people came and went, she was not yet in her prime, she was wearing small clothes, and she looked like a handsome young man. Out of the back door of Jiang's house, turn to the main street, she looked at the shops on the street along the road, looking at the sign of recruiting people at the door, occasionally she looked at her for too long, and would also give the store a look at her and call her in for questioning. Jiang Wanmu smiled, listened to the store's questions and answers, and finally could only smile and refuse the store's kindness.

Jiang Wanmu looked at these stores carefully, looked at the recruitment notes carefully, and knew that most of the stores wanted clerks, first, young men, and second, long-term contracts. Generally, it takes ten years, and the name of master and apprentice must be set. After Jiang Wanmu knew that there was a master-apprentice status, no matter how long the appointment lasted, the store would not fall, and if the store wanted you, you would have to continue to do it. It is a matter of course for a disciple to obey the master's words. After Jiang Wanmu asked a few stores, she had to die of her heart for being a clerk.

Jiang Wanmu took advantage of the fact that in the afternoon, there were few people coming and going at the back door, so she quietly returned to her yard from the Jiang family in the back. Ji Yan was in her room, and when she saw it, she smiled and patted her chest and said, "Miss, quick." With some meals. Jiang Wanmu sat down to eat, listening to Ji Yan talking about things like grass and flowers growing in the yard. After Jiang Wanmu finished eating, she wiped her mouth clean with a handkerchief, looked at Ji Yan and wanted to open her mouth, but she couldn't bear to say anything, and said to her with a smile: "If there is anything else that hasn't been said, take advantage of my time, you can say it quickly." ”

Ji Yan looked at her several times, and said in a small voice: "Not long after the young lady left, the eldest young lady and the young master Lian came over. The two of them said that they hadn't seen Miss for a long time and wanted to talk to Miss. When Jiang Wanmu heard this, she felt that her ears were wrong and she heard the wrong words, she looked at Ji Yan and asked, "Ji Yan, you mistook their kind words for them to come and talk to me?" Ji Yan shook his head at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, I didn't hear the wrong thing. It was the eldest lady and the young master Lian who said it, and one of them said it to me once. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Wanmu felt that the future couple was really not a family, they didn't enter the door, and the matter had come to this point, and the two of them would have to come to her to whitewash the peace, playing the role of a good sister and a good brother-in-law in the future. Jiang Wanmu glanced at Ji Yan and asked, "How did you reject them?" Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanmu with a little blush, and said, "I did what Miss said, I asked them to wait at the gate of the courtyard, I knocked on Miss's door, and asked Miss loudly if she could see it?" Then lean against the door and listen for a while. I turned back and said to them, 'Miss said no. ’”

Jiang Wanmu laughed when she heard this, and said in a kuajiyan: "Smart." However, this method can only be used once, and it cannot be used again next time. The next time I go out, you don't care if anyone comes and says you want to see me and talk to me, and you say directly to the person, 'Miss said she didn't want to see anyone.' Then you look down and think about something upset, and then you say slowly, 'Miss said that if I went to make a fuss about her, she would beat me with a stick.'" Ji Yan opened his mouth wide, looked at Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, if I say this, your reputation will turn bad. ”

Jiang Wanmu glanced at Ji Yan, only in her heart, she still had a good reputation. In fact, whether in the Jiang family or outside the Jiang family, she no longer has a good reputation for people to talk about. Jiang Wanmu comforted her and said, "Saying something like this once won't affect my reputation." But this can only be used once. Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanmu a little unhappily, and said in a low voice: "Miss, you are young now, and it is useless to go out to find trouble." Her words gradually disappeared in Jiang Wanmu's smiling eyes.

After Jiang Wanmu's year, she heard about Yu Xi's illness, and originally wanted to go to the door to take a look. As a result, before she had time to move her legs, Wen Chun rushed over and said to her: "Miss, you treat your aunt well, I see it in my eyes." My aunt actually understands in her heart, but every time she looks at you, she has to think of many things. She is sick now, and she can't be stimulated anymore, so it's better for you to wait slowly, and when she says she wants to see you, you can go and see her again. ”

Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanmu's smile that gradually disappeared when she remembered Wen Chun's words, she thought about it and said in a small voice: "Miss, the aunt who delivered the food, came over and said that this morning, my aunt asked for white porridge and green vegetables. It's not a big deal. Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan, saw the look in her eyes, and immediately felt funny, she was living more and more, and she even let a young woman worry about her emotions.

Jiang Wanmu looked at Ji Yan and said, "Well, it's good if my aunt can eat it." Jiang Wanmu took out a pen and a dry cloth, she brought the water tray again, and she said to Ji Yan, who was standing still: "Didn't you say that you want to make needlework and thread to feed me?" You don't go and do your needlework yet. Ji Yan smiled and lifted the lunch box aside, nodded and said to Jiang Wanmu: "Miss, I will practice for a while, you can let my mother think of it herself, and help me take the job from Aunt Lin." Hee-hee, miss, I believe in you, so I tell you the big secret. ”

When Jiang Wanmu heard her words, she looked at her angrily and said, "I understand, you can't let others know about this anymore, it will kill people then, right?" After hearing this, Ji Yan nodded affirmatively and said, "Well, Aunt Lin will be beaten at that time, maybe she will be beaten to death." Jiang Wanmu pretended to glare at her angrily, her eyes flashed and said, "It turns out that in my heart in Ji Yan's eyes, I am a master who will harm people. Ji Yan had already walked to the door, and when she saw Jiang Wanmu like this, she quickly turned around and said to her, "Miss, I didn't mean that." ”

Jiang Wanmu likes to see Ji Yan's little face when she is in a hurry, and her little face is tender and tender. She snorted, laughed, and said, "Go ahead." "Ji Yan opened the door, the courtyard door slammed, and Mugen Niang called 'Ji Yan' outside. Ji Yan quickly responded, "It's coming." She ran to open the door with brisk steps, and Jiang Wanmu put the things on the table aside again.
