Li Weijian has been idle recently, and he has been out a few times in the past ten days.

The water company is regular, the stock exchange is in full swing, in addition to the daily day to the teacher Yan Xiyao to order, and went to find the Zhongyong King, and the other time is to go to Xiangshan, carefully looked at the courtyard, made a decision on the spot, and passed the deed the next day.

Yuyuan covers a vast area, and no one can take care of it, Li Weijian has seen the Ding family, and seeing that the Ding family is still doing his duty, he sent this family to Yuyuan.

Later, he ordered Jia Yun to go to the city of Muma, and hired a few rough maids and servants, and the general maintained the daily sprinkling and sweeping.

But said that early in the morning, the little girl was dressed in a Taoist robe, and the two-foot short sword body in her hand walked with the sword. Half a set of Sanqing swords were used, Tanchun gasped slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The waiter hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, Tanchun was secretly proud in his heart, and the fourth brother had praised it in the morning, saying that she was agile and a good seedling for practicing swords.

She rubbed it haphazardly, carrying the dagger in the field. But hearing the sound of dooming, Li Weijian and Xiu Ying wandered and fought, and after three or two moves, Li Weijian's wooden knife suddenly opened, and stabbed straight at Xiu Ying's door.

Xiu Ying was also distracted somehow, and hurriedly dodged with a 'eh' sound. It is also a shame that Li Weijian has been practicing for a long time, and there is always some foundation for making moves, seeing that Xiu Ying couldn't avoid it, he hurriedly picked up the knife, and he could rub Xiu Ying's scalp and stab it in the air.

Tanchun didn't know why, so he jumped to his feet and said, "Okay, Fourth Brother Jian won!" ”

Li Weijian put away the knife and smiled, and came over to point out two sentences of Tanchun, which urged Tanchun to return. Seeing the small courtyard of Tanchun, Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, the three girls are really tough, and it has been more than 20 days now, and every day is not embellished, even if it catches up with the rain, he will send a waiter to inform him, saying that he will practice by himself in the summer.

Turning his head, Li Weijian threw away the wooden knife, and rubbed Xiuying's little head with his hand: "What do you think?" It's a shame that I avoided it, otherwise I would have broken the phase. ”

Xiu Ying did something wrong, hanging her head and muttering silently. But I thought in my heart, the moon is over, and now it's finally her turn to be on duty again. And because she changed shifts with Qingwen, this six days in a row were her shifts.

Li Weijian smiled secretly in his heart, he knew Xiu Ying's thoughts, but he didn't break it at the moment, and he didn't mention it when he went into the main room to scrub it.

When the time came, Li Weijian had just had breakfast, and saw that it was cloudy outside, and it was obvious that it was going to rain again, so he thought about staying at home for a day today.

Someone outside called the door, Hongyu went to greet her, turned her head and shouted, "Fourth master, Miss Bao is here." ”

Baochai is here? Li Weijian was playful in his heart, and he got the idea from himself since Baochai, and he hadn't been to the door for a long time. And Su Rili bumped into it, although Baochai smiled and smiled, and shouted affectionately with a 'thrifty fourth brother', but there was cold resistance inside.

Calculate that this is the first time that Baochai has come to the door in more than 20 days. He thought about going out, and saw Baochai leading a few maids into the house with a smile.

"Why is Sister Xue here?" Li Weijian smiled and greeted him.

Baochai hurriedly bent over and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, the southern goods store at home has been cashed out, and there are a lot of things left in the inventory, so I want to send some to my brothers and sisters." ”

As he spoke, Baochai bowed to Ying'er beside him, and Ying'er stepped forward with a basket and lifted the silk cloth covering it.

Li Weijian glanced at it and said with a little surprise: "Yo, bear paw, this is a good thing." ”

Baochai took the basket and said: "The good bear paws, I don't know how many times I bothered the fourth brother of thrift earlier, and I can't say that I will have to work hard in the future, because I will come to burn the hot stove, so as not to pick my fourth brother in the future." ”

"Haha, Sister Xue laughed."

Baochai handed over the basket, and Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward to take it. Li Weijian said, "Sister Xue went into the house and sat for a while?" ”

Baochai shook his head with a smile: "No, there are still a lot of things to send today, the fourth brother is busy and thrifty, I'll go back." ”

"Then I'll send Sister Xue."

"Fourth brother thrifty stay."

Li Weijian sent Baochai to the door, turned his head and thought about returning to the main room. That pair of good bear paws is a good thing, but Li Weijian thought about it.

Baochai just said that the southern goods shop at home had been redeemed, and said that he had taken inventory, but he was afraid that after the Xue family lost the foundation of the imperial merchants, they would do the act of breaking the wrist of the strong man, and simply closed and redeemed some poorly managed shops, so as to stop the loss, leaving only those shops that could still make money.

This time, the Xue family's livelihood has shrunk, and I am afraid that it will no longer be able to compare with the other three. After thinking about it, when there was an imperial businessman, the Xue family was just a number, and how could the Jia, Wang, and Shi families ever look down on the Xue family?

Hongyu is an ironer, seeing that Li Weijian was thoughtful, he quietly went to listen to it, and when he came back, he said: "Fourth master, Lixiangyuan will send things around early in the morning." I gave the old lady a pair of old ginseng, and sent blood swallows to the wife and the eldest lady, and several girls were bird's nests. ”

Qingwen on the side listened, stopped the feather duster in her hand and said, "Poor girl Bao, with such a family background." ”

Ruby sneered and laughed.

Qingwen frowned slightly and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Hongyu said: "No matter what, people are also girls, isn't it much better than us being maids?" ”

Qingwen thought about it, so she didn't say anything else.

Li Weijian took a closer look at Hongyu, but saw that this girl was smiling and groaning, and there was a lot of playfulness in her pair of autumn water. He secretly thought in his heart, Hongyu really knows how to look at people better than Qingwen, and he is only afraid that he will see Baochai throwing silver money around to invite people to buy people's hearts, right?

Maybe this time I can see through that Qingwen is just a bluff, but in fact, she is easier to fool than anyone else?

Hongyu suddenly turned her head, and caught a glimpse of Li Weijian looking at her playfully, she was startled by the snack on her face, and then said angrily: "Fourth master~"

Qingwen glanced at the coming, and saw Li Weijian shaking his head and smiling, and then picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. The feather duster in Qingwen's hand suddenly clanged, and she only said in her heart that the little hooves of Hongyu were seducing the fourth master again.

…………………………………………

Aunt Zhao's courtyard.

The box opened, revealing two round yellow swallows (Note 1) inside, Aunt Zhao was overjoyed, and said with her mouth closed: "Yo, what is this saying." ”

Ying'er was disgusted in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Auntie, take it, this is the inventory that our girl found in the warehouse, and it may not be available in the future." My aunt was busy, so I went back first. ”

"Eh, Xiao Que, send it for me."

The maid Xiaoque hurriedly sent the Ying'er and her party out of Aunt Zhao's courtyard. Baochai has already arrived in Mrs. Wang's room at this time, and Aunt Xue is talking to Mrs. Wang.

Aunt Zhao is just a concubine, and she is not a serious elder, because she is only a maid such as Ying'er who comes to deliver things.

In the room, Aunt Zhao repeatedly looked at the two-grade round Huang Yan, and suddenly her face was stunned, and she reached out to beckon Xiao Jixiang'er, who came over, and said in a low voice: "Go and listen and listen, Aunt Zhou and the others have received something." ”

Xiao Jixianger should go down, go out and staggered with the returning little magpie, leaving Aunt Zhao thoughtful in the room.

When she was young, she was a prominent color in the maid, and after a few years of hard work, she still found a gap for Mrs. Wang to give birth to Baoyu, and then she was admitted to the house by Jia Zheng.

When Mrs. Wang came to her senses, Aunt Zhao had already bulged her belly. At this point, Mrs. Wang had to pinch her nose and admit it, and pretended to be generous, and simply raised Aunt Zhou's identity as well.

I wanted to pull one by one, but Aunt Zhou was a gourd with a sawed mouth, and she was cautious and didn't touch anything, because it was Mrs. Wang, she could only come forward to teach Aunt Zhao a lesson.

However, this Aunt Zhao is a sex who remembers eating and not fighting, and she will make trouble every once in a while.

But in Aunt Zhao's heart, there is another idea - if the wife sets the rules, then she will stand, and the left and right are just some flesh and skin suffering, she has won the favor of the master, and the people who should fight in the house have to fight.

There is the favor of the lord on the left and right, and the wife can't be too harsh, right? Although it is a loss of face, but from time to time there is a fight, and there will always be a lining. For Aunt Zhao, where are the tangible benefits of face?

This time, the Xue family sent bird's nest, and they always had to compare what the others had received, so as to know whether the Xue family had sent her away with tatters.

After a while, Xiao Jixiang'er hurried back, and whispered before getting closer: "Auntie, I inquired, several girls are Huang Yan, the two grandmothers and the grandmother Rong of Dongfu are also, the wife and the eldest lady are blood swallows, and the old lady sent a pair of ginseng. ”

Aunt Zhao ironed a little in her heart, then frowned suddenly, and asked again: "How many girls gave you a round cup there?" ”

"This-" Xiao Jixiang'er didn't dare to deceive, and said: "-I went to the third girl and took a look, it seemed to be a bird's nest." ”

Aunt Zhao suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Okay, the Xue family really doesn't look down on me, and they use some worthless rags to fool me!" ”

Some time ago, Mrs. Wang made a rule, and Aunt Zhao didn't dare to make a noise, so she only scolded in her room in a low voice, and then sent Xiao Que to take the bird's nest out of the kitchen and stew.

Thinking that the third girl still had a pair of bird's nests, Aunt Zhao moved her mind and led Xiao Jixianger out of the courtyard and went to the three small hugs next to Li Kun's courtyard.

When I got to hug Xiali, I saw Sanchun gossiping and being a female celebrity. Li Kun has now become the female gentleman of the county lord, and the old lady said earlier that she wanted to find a proper female gentleman, but now she has never found it, so Sanchun has some sheep.

Catching a glimpse of Aunt Zhao, Tanchun's face changed, and she got up and said, "Why did Auntie come?" ”

Aunt Zhao saw that there was only Sanchun in the hug Xia, so she had no scruples when she spoke, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I crawled out of my intestines, so I am not allowed to come to see you?" ”

"Auntie, sit down." Tanchun calmed his face, sighed secretly, and clicked on the waiter's book: "Go and get the bird's nest." ”

Aunt Zhao just pretended not to hear it, and waited for the waiter to bring the bird's nest with a stiff face, she first put it aside, and then said with a smile: "It's hard for you to still think about me, my mother-in-law, and you want to take it to please your wife." ”

"Auntie—"

Aunt Zhao said: "Tanchun, I didn't come for this bird's nest this time." ”

Tanchun frowned, sat down and asked, "Auntie still has something to do?" ”

Aunt Zhao said, "Isn't it for your unsuccessful brother?" Huan'er Layue opened in the moon, and now I don't know a few big characters, but I only know how to be naughty in that private school. If you continue to mess around like this, how will you set up a house in the future? ”

This is right, Tanchun said: "Auntie has to take care of Brother Huan's studies, you need to know——"

"I know, I know." Aunt Zhao couldn't bear to interrupt: "I've been thinking about it over and over again in the past few days, and your brother is afraid that he won't be able to start a career, so it's better to make another plan." ”

"What are your aunt's plans?"

Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows, and the play meat is coming! I saw him approaching and said, "I heard that you have been going to the frugal brother's hospital early in the morning these days to play tricks?" ”

Tanchun shook his head: "Where are you naughty?" I learned swordsmanship from Fourth Brother Jian. ”

"Aren't they all the same? What swordsmanship does the girl's family learn? After a pause, she said again: "Then again, how old is that frugal brother?" When he came, he was just a little showman, and it has only been two months, and he has tossed such a big battle! I thought, "Is this a different way?"

The left and right rings are impatient with those who say poetry, why don't you follow Brother Jian to learn the real knowledge? ”

When Tanchun heard this, he thought about it seriously for a while, and said: "Auntie's words are reasonable, but now the fourth brother is a mess outside, and he still has to read books, I'm afraid that I won't have time to teach Brother Huan, right?" ”

Aunt Zhao saw that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about this, I think I have to set up a wine banquet to invite that frugal brother today, don't ask for anything else, just ask for a mention or two, and it's good to list a book to read." But I've only met with that frugal brother a few times, and I really don't know each other...... Otherwise, you will invite that frugal brother for me? ”

Tanchun's refusal came to his lips, but he thought about it repeatedly, but he didn't say it because he cared about his family. After hesitating for a long time, Aunt Zhao said impatiently: "It's okay, so I'll give me a word." ”

Tanchun took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll invite the fourth brother to come back...... Auntie, the words are ahead, but it is just for the sake of the Huan brothers' studies, and they can't regenerate the side incidents. ”

"When did my mother have nothing to do?" Aunt Zhao got up with a smile: "The matter is decided, then I'll go back to Zhang Luo first, Brother Jian is a distinguished guest now, it's not easy to be slow." ”

While speaking, Aunt Zhao turned around and took the maid Xiao Jixianger away, leaving only Tanchun frowning and worried.

But no matter how uneasy he was in his heart, this matter was always answered, and Tanchun had to take the maid to find Li Weijian.

Halfway through the hour, Tanchun picked up his mind and went to the small courtyard in the northeast.

The waiter called the door, Li Weijian welcomed Tanchun in, and only after sitting down did he ask, "Why did the third sister come here, but is there something?" ”

Tanchun snorted and said: "Fourth brother Jian, my aunt saw that Brother Huan couldn't read the Four Books and Five Classics, so she wanted him to transfer to Shixue, because there was a banquet in the evening, and I wanted to invite Fourth Brother Jian to go over to ask for advice." ”

Li Weijian was secretly surprised in his heart, what about this Aunt Zhao who still has this thought?

Note 1: The color of bird's nest is divided into white and yellow blood, and the shape can be divided into bird's nest, round and triangular cup.
