The sisters have a lot of support~

***

Guan Ming has always been partial to Guan Zhicheng, but this Li Xin has no doubts. The Guan family only has such a scholar as Zhicheng, and it is normal to expect him to pass the imperial examination and soar to the glorious lintel.

It's just that Li Xin doesn't understand, Guan Wen is the eldest son, so he should be the one who came to support Guan Ming, right? If Guan Wen's guess is true, Guan Ming alone pressed the treasure on Guan Zhicheng, and the other children didn't care, it was indeed a very puzzling and disappointing thing.

There are many children, and it is normal to have a preference, but the preference is not so biased!

Guan Wen looked a little tired after saying something, and he didn't lie down and rest for a while before getting up to work again. Li Xin took advantage of this time to wash the clothes that the two of them had changed from yesterday, and cleaned up the kitchen again, thinking of Guan Wen's words in his mind, he was a little stunned for a while.

Although the old saying goes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, who doesn't have such and such a harsh chores? But if this matter is left on me, how can I think about it and feel unhappy.

Li Xin thought about it carefully and looked at the relationship between the Guan family, which really made her aware of the situation she didn't usually expect. For example, Guan Wu, when he married Sun Magpie, Guan Wen took money to buy it, Guan Wen was not there, Guan Ming, the father, should always be a little careful and understand Sun Magpie's character, but the daughter-in-law who married back was so unbearable.

Let's talk about Guan Ahe, the third sister of the Guan family that Li Xin hasn't seen yet. Her marriage was handled by Guan Wen's grandmother when she was still alive, the dowry was placed by Guan Wen, and the place where she married was still relatively far away, she went to Pingsha County, a neighboring county of Hui County, and she couldn't go back to her parents' house all year round, Li Xin married into the Guan family and never heard Guan Ming mention this daughter.

The marriage of the fourth child of the Guan family is also Guan Wen's worry, for the sake of the dowry money, he should be idle and leisurely, but he has to come out to work part-time.

The dowry of the fifth sister of the Guan family is still being saved by Guan Wen, and Guan Ming has not mentioned a word. When Ah Xiu and Guan Zhicheng had a conflict, Guan Ming only blindly helped Guan Zhicheng speak.

As for Guan Zhicheng, Guan Wen paid for him to be restrained, and Guan Ming also maintained him openly and secretly at home.

Ah Mei won't talk about it, Guan Ming basically doesn't care, otherwise he wouldn't let his little daughter be bullied by his daughter-in-law Sun Magpie at home with his father-in-law's identity.

After carefully brushing it down, Li Xin felt more and more that Guan Wen's guess was true. After all, Guan Ming's preference for Guan Zhicheng is so obvious.

Li Xin only felt a little tired, Guan Wen wanted to live with his father under that roof, I'm afraid it would be even more exhausting......

While thinking. Li Xin prepares the ingredients for dinner. The wash is washed, the cut is cut, and the pickle is pickled. It's also the movements in her hands that she won't keep thinking cranky.

The materials are almost ready, Li Xin looked at it, and the remaining salt in the salt jar was probably not enough. I went to the big kitchen to ask for a salt shaker, and met a daughter-in-law who had dealt with me and chatted a few words. The eldest lady who was burning the fire in the stove room seemed to be free, and when she saw that Li Xin hadn't left yet, she rubbed her hand on her clothes. He walked over with a smile and greeted Li Xin: "Sister-in-law of the Guan family is here." ”

"Auntie." Li Xin responded with a smile and pointed to the lady's face. The eldest lady reached out and wiped it knowingly. smiled: "Everything in the room is like this." ”

"The sister-in-law of the Guan family is different, she rarely has ash on her face." The daughter-in-law laughed.

Li Xin also smiled, "I'm still busy, so I won't bother you." So saying, he stepped forward.

The lady of the stove room hurriedly shouted: "Hey." Sister-in-law of the Guan family and so on......"

Li Xin looked over suspiciously, and the eldest lady smiled: "Ask the sister-in-law of the Guan family about something." ”

Li Xin stood still, "What's the matter with the eldest lady?" ”

"The ......"

The eldest lady suddenly choked a little, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Sister-in-law of the Guan family, the girl of the Yueya ......"

Yueya? Li Xin blinked, but he had never heard of this name. Seeing that she didn't understand, the lady smiled, "Yueya is the girl next to Miss, and she hasn't been going around around you all these days......"

"Oh! That little girl is called Yueya? Li Xin smiled, but she kept a heart in her heart, "She has come to my side to play these days." What's wrong? ”

Hearing Li Xin say this, the eldest lady was slightly embarrassed, and her face full of folds also showed a somewhat lost smile, "That girl said that she wanted to learn to make some dim sum with your sister-in-law......"

Coming around to this matter, Li Xin probably knew what the eldest lady had in mind, and asked with a smile: "...... are the eldest lady and Yueya?"

"She's my grandniece." The eldest lady said with a shy face: "The master is merciful, and left our family to go to Beijing to continue to serve......"

Li Xin nodded and said, "That's the old lady's accumulation of virtue, and it's also your luck, auntie." ”

The eldest lady nodded hurriedly, and then turned her words back, "That's the way it is, the master's family has given us a great favor...... No, we also want to give back to our master's family...... Yueya is serving by Miss's side, and Miss likes to eat the food you make sister-in-law, and I'm afraid I won't come back if I go to Jingshi......"

When it comes to this, the meaning is almost expressed. The lady of the stove room looked at Li Xin, rubbed her hands, and added with a smile: "This is also our intention to be a slave......

Li Xin doesn't like to hear this, she is not a slave of their Cui Mansion! All of a sudden, his face pulled down.

Seeing that she seemed to have a precursor to anger, although the eldest mother was puzzled, she immediately said: "Sister-in-law of the Guan family, please leave this matter to you...... At my age, I put my face down and begged you......"

Li Xin was very annoyed, although it was said that it was essential to communicate in Cui's Mansion, but in the final analysis, the relationship between her and Guan Wen and Cui's Mansion was not the relationship between master and slave. They are good citizens, but they just took the opportunity to come here to work part-time, when did they become the servants of the Cui Mansion, and they had to be left alone? Even an old lady in a firehouse could catch up and say these things to her.

"Auntie, Steward Cui also came to ask at that time, but really...... Hey, when this period of time passes, our family still has to rely on that craft to make money, and I really can't tell others. Don't be angry, it's all country stuff and it's not on the stage. ”

Li Xin said a few perfunctory words, seeing that the eldest lady's face drooped, she was unhappy, and she was a little angry in her heart, but her tone was still gentle and gentle, "When I go to Jingshi, there are more things in the north and south of the world, and I am afraid that the young lady will no longer miss the little food I make." ”

These words made the eldest lady pause, and hesitated for a moment, "I'm tired of eating Jingshi's things, maybe I still want to eat something different......"

"Then when more novel food is in front of me, how can I afford to think of this." Li Xin smirked twice and looked at the sky, "Oh, it's not too early, auntie, I still have to cook, so I won't talk to you." ”

I really don't want to fight with that aunt, and talking awkwardly makes her head hurt. Li Xin found an excuse and ran away with the salt jar, and didn't give the stove lady a chance to speak.

Dinner was ready and served, and as soon as Li Xin finished eating and put down the bowl, he saw a young daughter-in-law walking over to the Moon Gate, who had dealt with her in the big kitchen and had a conversation today. The daughter-in-law also looked like she had just eaten, and when she saw Li Xin looking at her, she looked left and right and beckoned to her, as if she was signaling her to come over.

Li Xin didn't have any ill feelings towards this daughter-in-law, and the relationship was not bad, so she walked up. As soon as he got closer, he was pulled aside by the daughter-in-law, and the arched wall of the moon gate was used as cover.

The daughter-in-law said in a low voice: "What did Aunt Yuan tell you?" ”

Li Xin raised her eyebrows slightly, "I didn't say anything, I just chattered a few words." ”

"Come on, it's still hidden, you still can't trust me." The daughter-in-law pretended to be angry and patted her, and said in a low voice, "Did she ask you how to make those things for the young lady?" Don't give it to her, be careful of being cheated by her. ”

Li Xin smiled, "What can you fool me?" "It's a big deal, I just want to take the recipe away, and think about it myself to please the master's family, or set up another stall to sell this kind of novel food.

"Although Aunt Yuan was left behind by Mrs., Mrs. didn't plan to take her to Beijing. This man...... Hey, it's not good to chew people's tongues behind your back, don't say much else, you weigh yourself, don't trust others easily. The daughter-in-law paused and said: "Yueya's girl has solid eyes, and she doesn't know how to distinguish between right and wrong. Although this mansion is going to move to Jingshi, it can't be cut off from here......"

Although the daughter-in-law spoke shallowly, Li Xin understood some of the twists and turns. There is also a little bit of a slave in his heart, and everyone beats their own abacus beads. Cui's mansion is not very big, but it is also a slave, and all kinds of human relations are complicated.

She should hurry up and finish her short-term job and go back to the village with Guan Wen, she is tired of surviving in the big house.

After thanking her daughter-in-law, Li Xin mixed the tea for everyone to drink, and muttered to Guan Wen: "Have you thought about it?" According to Cui's meaning, we still have a beginning and an end to get things done. If you still think you have to go back now, let's talk to Steward Cui first. ”

Guan Wen took a big sip of tea and sighed, with a tea watermark still left on the corner of his mouth, "Things are piled up together, it's really breathless." ”

"I have an idea." Li Xin paused slightly, and saw that Guan Wen looked at her all of a sudden, and then said softly: "Otherwise, let's buy some necessary things in the town first, and then you ask people to send a message to the second brother, and ask an older aunt to go to the Hu family with the second brother to hire them, and explain the situation to them." When our side is finished, we will go back and start preparing for the marriage, which will be about ten days apart. ”

When Guan Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, "This is a good idea!" After thinking about it, his eyes darkened slightly, "If you buy it in the town, you will spend more money......

"It's not bad for that little money, the Hu family has a daughter, saying that the dowry was bought in the town, and the in-laws' faces will be brighter in the future." Li Xin can see it, perhaps because he has sympathy for the Hu family, so in this regard, Li Xin does not want to wronged the Hu family.

The two discussed it again, and then decided that Li Xin would take the time to go to the town tomorrow to buy, and Guan Wen would go to his aunt's place and ask his cousin to go to Guan's house to talk to Guan Wu, so that Guan Wu could directly carry the dowry to the Hu family the day after tomorrow.
