Chapter 117

The next day, when Mother Hua brought a stack of account books, Shanniang couldn't help but use her hand to support her forehead again - in her previous life, in order to show her ability, she openly and secretly asked Mother Hua for account books, but she couldn't, but in this life, she wanted to be a big shopkeeper, and this person actually took the initiative to move the account books......

Seeing the difficulty on her face, Mother Hua thought that she had never been exposed to these things when she was at home before, so she comforted her and said, "Grandma, don't worry, once you are born and twice matured, you will learn slowly." ”

Shanniang raised her eyes and looked at her, and said in her heart, can I not learn?

She was muttering in her heart, Yuan Changqing came in, looked at the account books on the table and frowned, and said, "Why did my mother move all the account books here?" ”

Shanniang suddenly looked at Mother Hua in surprise. She also thought that Mother Hua had followed Yuan Changqing's instructions.

Mother Hua said: "It is said that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, and the uncle used to be only one person, but now that there is a big grandmother, these should be managed by the big grandmother." He looked at Shanniang again and said, "Grandma doesn't know it, it's nothing, just learn slowly." ”

So Shanniang also understood. Compared with the previous life, Mother Hua in this life obviously thinks that she is "not worthy of the uncle", at least she is "teachable".

She couldn't help rubbing her forehead again, looked at Yuan Changqing pitifully and said, "I don't even know who is in the family." ”

The fifth master had also boasted to Yuan Changqing that Shanniang helped his wife take care of the house, but the old man hid a ghost in his heart, only saying that everything in the family was in charge of his wife, and Shanniang was just playing soy sauce on the side. He raised his wife there, but Yuan Changqing didn't know here, he really was Shanniang at the level of "playing soy sauce", and he knew better than anyone that his thirteenth son was a lazy master who could sit and never stand, and could lie down and never sit, so he looked at Shanniang and smiled: "Mom is right, you will have to learn these sooner or later." However...... "In the end, the newlywed Yan'er, he also felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he turned to Hua's mother and pleaded for Shanniang: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, these account books should be managed by my mother first, and I will talk about it after a while." ”

Mother Hua was packing up the account books, and Yuan Changqing walked to Shanniang's side, took out a bundle of gift slips from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her, and said: "Those are not in a hurry, but they are New Year's gifts for your family, you can take a look, but what else do you need to add." Tomorrow your brother will go back, so it's time for him to take it back along the way. ”

This New Year's Gift should have been in charge of the inner house - that is, it should be in charge of Mother Hua. From just now to now, Mother Hua has not mentioned it. Shanniang glanced at Mother Hua, and Mother Hua hurriedly said: "Uncle said, this is the first time that the eldest grandmother has given a New Year's gift to her mother's house after she got married, and she needs to be grand, so Uncle will take it himself." ”

So Shanniang glanced at Yuan Changqing again, and saw that although he didn't speak, his bright eyes were like a puppy who only asked for praise, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and deliberately learned from Beijing to say "You bothered", and then opened the gift list.

I saw a lot of items listed on the gift list, not only for the old lady and the old lady, but also for her younger brother and brother who were less than one year old. She looked up and said, "So many? Isn't that too grand? ”

Yuan Changqing leaned on the back of her chair, leaned over to her ear and whispered: "You have all been abducted back by me, what is the point of giving more filial piety to your father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

Shanniang's face flushed, she glanced at Mother Hua, and quietly turned her right hand behind her back and twisted it on Yuan Changqing's leg. Now she feels more and more that Yuan Changqing is actually a sullen person, looking cold as ice in front of outsiders, and when she is carrying people behind her back, she dares to say anything bold to her!

Yuan Changqing gasped quietly, clenched her hand and twisted him, and said: "It's freezing outside, and you're afraid of the cold, don't go tomorrow, I'll see you off." ”

Shanniang shook her head and said, "How can this work?" Not only my brother, but also my sister-in-law. And ......" She glanced at Yuan Changqing again.

Yuan Changqing knew that she was bored at home.

Also, the bride has many taboos, and it is not easy to run elsewhere. She went to the old lady every morning and evening to pretend to be a filial son and grandson, and the rest of the time she was all bored in the house.

He and Shanniang leaned together and whispered, and when Mother Hua saw it, she couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart.

When Mother Hua was sent by Mrs. Fang, Yuan Changqing was already five or six years old. From that age, he was not a person who liked to be close to people. Although he is polite and thoughtful to everyone, it is also obvious that people feel that he is alienated from people, and he takes the initiative to tease people with a smile like this, which is the first time that Hua's mother has seen it.

Counting it, Yuan Changqing can also be said to have been brought up by Mother Hua. And since he was a child, he was a silent and introverted child, and he refused to let people know anything in his heart, and even his joys, sorrows and sorrows were rarely expressed on his face, so Hua's mother was always worried that he would suffocate himself like that. Now seeing that he can take the initiative to make the new grandmother laugh, Mother Hua is not only a little tasteful like those mothers-in-law, but also happy for her uncle from the bottom of her heart.

It's just that for this new grandmother, Mother Hua still has doubts in her heart. On the bright side, the newly married grandmother is a bit bold; But what's not so good is that the new grandmother doesn't seem to be very good at being a family director, and she can't even read an account book...... The uncle is running around all day long, if the grandmother can't support the inner house, the last thing to suffer is the uncle......

Secretly glancing at the young couple from the corner of her eyes, Mother Hua secretly clenched her fists - she decided that she would give the eldest grandmother a "lesson" from the end of the year, and she must be trained to be worthy of her smart and capable uncle!

- Pity the thirteen mothers of the Hou family, who were famous in the capital in her previous life, were labeled as incompetent enough by Mother Hua because of her temporary inertia. And Hua's mother is still planning with great ambition, how to give her a comprehensive "job skills reeducation......

*・*・*

The so-called "newcomers are sent into the room, and the matchmaker is thrown over the wall". The one who was thrown over the wall was just a matchmaker, as the eldest brother who gave the marriage, since the Shanniang and the two worshipped heaven and earth, there has been nothing to do with Hou Rui. So he was led by Yuan Changqing's servant all day long, wandering inside and outside the capital. If it weren't for the New Year, he wouldn't even want to go back to Meishan Town. It's just that it's not up to him. It's that he doesn't want to go back, and his wife Grandma Zhao is still anxious to go home for the New Year! So, early this morning, Hou Rui and Grandma Zhao were accompanied by Shanniang to bid farewell to Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan was very sincere to keep Zhao and Hou Rui, until Zhao said that the New Year was approaching and the family could not leave, the old lady sighed regretfully about the busyness at the end of the year, and told Zhao and Hou Rui, "In the future, they will be relatives, and they have to play leisurely." Hearing that Shanniang was going to take them to the dock with her, the old lady was busy and instructed Shanniang, "Be careful of the cold." Then he asked someone to take a newly made big wool cloak and gave it to Shanniang, and repeatedly told Zhao and Hou Rui to be careful on the road, and then he eagerly sent the person out of Xuanyi Hall.

When he turned back to get into the carriage, Zhao sighed to Shanniang: "You are a blessed person, the old lady in the family is a kind person, and she treats you better than her own granddaughter." ”

Shanniang only smiled and said nothing.

Probably because of Shanniang's fear of the cold, Yuan Changqing asked someone to prepare a big carriage, but it was not the Western-style carriage that is now fashionable in the capital, but the old-fashioned kind of van carriage with thick walls.

When Yuan Changqing opened the car door, a white heat overflowed from the car. He smiled: "I ordered someone to install two charcoal basins under the saddle, and it shouldn't be cold this way." ”

Shanniang blushed a little again, and said angrily to him: "Where can you cold me to death." ”

Yuan Changqing glanced at her, took her arm and sent her to the carriage, and then got into it himself. Sanhe, who followed Shanniang out, got into the carriage behind.

Seeing that Shanniang was seated, Yuan Changqing took out a blanket from the dark compartment next to the seat and covered her legs, lowered his eyes and said, "I know you feel shy, but I actually want to hear you praise me for being good." He covered the blanket, put his hand on her lap, looked up at her, and said, "But you refuse to give me a good word every time." ”

Shanniang looked at him silently, and suddenly found that she had made the same mistake in her previous life. In her previous life, she was like this, no matter how good others were, she agreed with it in her heart, but she always picked on other people's faults, and in the end, everyone was afraid to be close to her again......

So she smiled softly and said to him kindly, "You're bothered." ”

Yuan Changqing's impression that Shanniang has always been a hard-mouthed person, and he couldn't imagine that he just muttered, and she actually changed. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and responded with a smile, "It should be." ”

When the carriage arrived at the dock, it was bustling with activity.

Shanniang held Yuan Changqing's hand and was just about to get off the carriage, when she looked up, she suddenly saw a row of three boats with unique shapes leaning on the side of the dock, she was suddenly excited, shook Yuan Changqing's hand and said, "Look, Western boats!" ”

Yuan Changqing glanced back and said with a smile: "That is a Western-style ship that has been improved by the sailor, called Shuang-Feiyan, and it is the fastest ship in the world today." And he said, "Would you like to see it closer?" ”

Shanniang was nodding, when she saw her brother Hou Rui running over with an excited face, and also pointed to the boat and said to Shanniang: "Shan'er, look, it's the same as in the painting!" Then he looked at the boat and said wistfully, "Look, one day I will get on the boat!" ”

"Good ambition!" Suddenly, someone shouted behind them. The man not only interjected very presumptuously, but also slapped Hou Rui on the shoulder very unceremoniously.

That Hou Rui was an expert in fighting, and his body was as strong as a calf, but who knew that he couldn't withstand that man's slap. Hou Rui was stunned, and suddenly turned his head and glared at the visitor unhappily.

Hou Rui and Yuan Changqing are both tall, but the people who come are half a head taller than them, and they are born with big shoulders and round waists. Although this year is a warm winter, there has not been a few snows in the capital, but in the end it is winter, this person is only wearing a thin black shirt, and the trousers under it are still pulled high, revealing two hairy thick legs. The most surprising thing for Shanniang is that this person is still barefoot!

"What's the matter, Da Lang finally decided to put pen to paper?" The man looked at Yuan Changqing's urn and shouted angrily, "I'll just say that you have the blood of Lao Linggong in your bones, and it is impossible to be a weak scholar......

"Even if you throw a pen from Rong, it is impossible for Da Lang to go to the sea with you to be a bandit!" Suddenly, a thin man appeared behind the strong man. The man was about forty years old, but he was neatly dressed and wearing a regular military uniform. Since the reform of Shengyuan, the costumes of various levels in the army are different, and Shan Niang doesn't understand, so she doesn't know what level this person is, but it is certain that he is by no means a small soldier.

The middle-aged man looked at Yuan Changqing and said, "I heard that you are going to marry a daughter-in-law?" What day? Let's go to the door to congratulate us. ”

Yuan Changqing pursed his lips and smiled, pulled Shan Niang, who was blocked by Hou Rui, over and said to the two of them: "The news of the two uncles is lagging behind, this is an insider." Then he said to Shanniang: "These two uncles are my grandfather's subordinates when he was alive. Uncle Zhu is now in the navy, and Uncle Liu is in the military department. ”

As he spoke, he asked the strong man again, "Why did Third Uncle Zhu come back?" ”

"Debriefing." Zhu San said in a rough voice, looked at Shanniang curiously, and then pulled Yuan Changqing and said: "I just heard someone say that you don't want to make any books with your teacher, in this case, it is better to get on the boat with me, I will ensure that you make a contribution......"

Before he finished speaking, he asked Uncle Liu to slap him and said, "You pig brain!" Da Lang has just gotten married, what are you pulling him on the boat for?! He turned his head to Yuan Changqing and said, "What are Da Lang's plans?" You shouldn't have thrown away your martial arts all these years, right? It just so happens that next year is the year of the big competition, why don't you take the martial arts exam, I guarantee that you will come to serve in the military department, with the prestige of Lao Linggong, you will definitely ......"

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Changqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "The two uncles misunderstood, the family didn't mean to ask me to abandon literature and martial arts, but because I wanted to marry, I was temporarily separated from the teacher." In the future, I will still have to help the teacher make up the book. Seeing that the two of them seemed to want to say something, Yuan Changqing hurriedly diverted the topic, pointed to Hou Rui and introduced to the two: "This is my eldest brother, I have always been very interested in sea ships, I wonder if the two uncles can take us on the boat to see?" ”

The two probably also knew Yuan Changqing's temperament, and seeing his resolute attitude, they didn't say anything more, but just smiled and agreed.

Shanniang quietly pulled Yuan Changqing. Yuan Changqing looked at her and shook his head slightly. Others don't know what they mean, but the two of them have a tacit understanding in their hearts.

followed Zhu San to the sea boat, Hou Rui was so excited that he ran forward for a while, and then pulled Zhu San for a while to ask long and short questions.

Yuan Changqing took the opportunity to walk at the back with Shanniang, and whispered to her: "These two used to be Yuan Jiajun. It's just that Uncle Zhu joined the navy after breaking away from the Yuan family's army, and Uncle Liu entered the military department. They were all squeezed out of the Yuan family's army by the fourth uncle, so they always wanted to carry me to the ring with the fourth uncle. ”

Shanniang looked up at him.

He smiled slightly and said, "I'm not stupid, can I know how many pounds and taels I have?" Even if they carry me up, I'm afraid I'm just a puppet. ”

It can be seen that Uncle Zhu is a straightforward military man, and he never mentioned joining the army to Yuan Changqing after getting on the boat. And he saw that Hou Rui really liked the boat, and he was immediately interested, so he took Hou Rui up and down the warship for a while. Uncle Liu is obviously a politician, and from time to time he finds an opportunity to come over and pry Yuan Changqing. Yuan Changqing was silent, and he still chattered and refused to give up.

Shanniang looked up at Yuan Changqing, and felt sad in her heart. For him, and for himself. In his previous life, he had never told her about this, so when those people found her, Shanniang thought it was a good thing for him, so she helped to become a lobbyist, but naturally he was disgusted...... In the eyes of outsiders, it is said that Yuan Jiajun's old people care about him, and who knows the inside story......

She sighed silently, no longer keeping her distance from him as before, but deliberately took two steps closer to him, and never left or right half a step away from him.

Uncle Liu wanted to come over and say something more, but he didn't expect Shanniang to suddenly post it, telling him that it was not good to come over again, so he had to laugh twice, turn around and walk away.

Yuan Changqing lowered his eyes and looked at Shanniang slightly curled the corners of his lips, and quietly grabbed Shanniang's hand by covering his sleeves.
