Jinhuayuan dropped a porcelain vase.

The maid in the main courtyard washed the strawberry grapes, found a beautiful celadon plate and put it on, Shen kept some of it, and gave the rest to a few children.

For a few children, it is difficult for the Shen family to level a bowl of water, so Yan Mingxuan Yan Mingye has less, and the two daughters have more.

There are oranges too, but they can be left for a long time, so eat something else first.

The fruit was sent by the concubine in the palace, and it was also for the sake of the face of the Yanguo Mansion, so it was reasonable to go to thank him, but Ning said that he didn't need it first, he was busy a while ago, and he would talk about it after the year.

Shen responded to the kindness, and then discussed with his mother-in-law about recording Yan Mingqiao as a concubine.

Shen said: "My daughter-in-law feels that it is very good after the New Year, Mingqiao, this child has been by my side for more than two months, she has a good temperament, and she is also a filial piety, and now Mingyu is not in good health, and it is just right for her to come to the main courtyard." Besides, after getting along for a while, the daughter-in-law really likes the child Mingqiao. ”

Ning's has no opinion, she still likes Yan Mingqiao, as long as she has a good temperament, the others are secondary, but other aspects of this child are the icing on the cake.

She has no opinion, and the old man will not have an opinion, even if the matter is settled.

After the year, I want to worship my ancestors, and I changed the family tree, and after these things are done, I took Ming Qiao to the palace to thank him.

Shen Shi cared about Shen Yuanjing again, "Yuanjing's monthly routine is the same as Mingxuan's, he went out during the two holidays, but he didn't let the little guy follow, the others are okay, he is a polite child." ”

Ning didn't speak for a while, and after a pause, she said, "This kid is used to being alone, just know to come back." ”

Generally, the elders will always have expectations for the juniors, hoping that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, and the Ning family also hopes that the two grandsons of Yan Mingxuan and Yan Mingye will study hard and be more motivated, but for Shen Yuanjing, the requirements are extremely low.

I know how to eat, I know how to go home, don't do anything wrong, just live well. The others do not expect him to be honored in the future, nor do they need him to do anything for the government.

When he is old, he will book a family affair for him, and he will be considered to have fulfilled his duties.

The Shen family now has many children, and Yan Mingqiao is caring, so it is inevitable to empathize with this child and feel that it is a pity, but the old man can't help it.

Shen couldn't help but say, "It's also a poor person." ”

*

The next day is the last day of the month.

Yan Mingqiao and Yan Mingyu took the two brothers who were on vacation out for a meal, which made Yan Mingxuan very embarrassed, he was a brother, where was he embarrassed to let the two younger sisters pay for it.

Yan Mingye ate deliciously, he had never eaten such a novel and delicious thing when he was so big, and his stomach was round at the end.

Yan Mingye said: "I can bring my friends to eat next time." ”

Yan Mingqiao held his face and said: "That relationship is good, the second brother's friend eats deliciously, and he will also bring his friends here." ”

Yan Mingxuan hurriedly said, "I'll bring my friends over too." ”

The business will definitely get better and better, most of the friends of the two are from the same family background, and they are quite rich, you come and go, if you can take care of the business, it is very good.

The shop business is okay, although it has not been full, but it is enough for the shopkeeper to smile from ear to ear.

Yan Mingqiao looked at the account book, and in the five days from the 26th to the 30th, the total amount of turnover was 167 taels of silver, throwing away the money for buying vegetables, labor costs, and some money...... The profit was sixty-six taels and eight dollars.

Yan Mingqiao calculates these faster than others, and he knows them in his heart when he looks at them, which is the same as the shopkeeper's abacus calculation.

The heart of this kung fu shopkeeper admires, and the accounts will be more meticulous on weekdays.

The goods stockpiled in the warehouse will not be used up for a while, and the sisters plan to divide half of them to make New Year's goods.

The shop now has three cooks, two are responsible for preparing food and one is responsible for cooking cooked food, there are four in the running hall, one is in charge of the shopkeeper, and there are two mothers-in-law who are in charge of cleaning up the dishes, there are ten people in total, and the monthly money ranges from half a tael to two taels, and the monthly money has to have eight taels of silver.

Yan Mingyu has been an owner for a few days, and finally understands the way of capitalists, to have a timely reward, take a radish to hang in front, "five insurances and one housing fund" is the most basic labor security, so that workers can work willingly.

If she hadn't had these, she wouldn't have worked overtime until she died suddenly in her previous life.

Yan Mingyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, after crossing once, he turned over.

My sister is smart, but Yan Mingyu is not bad, and her ideas are very useful.

There is a bonus for the New Year's holidays, as well as those maids in the yard, too, and the last bit of things left in the treasury has a place to go.

After eating from the shop, several people returned to the public mansion.

Yan Mingxuan Yan Mingye will go back to the academy tomorrow morning, but this time is different from the past, and he will not wait until the end of the month to have a holiday. The sixteenth day of the lunar month is the birthday of the Ning family, and they have to set up a few tables, and they naturally have to ask for leave to come back as grandchildren. Approaching the end of the year, the academy will not wait until the end of the month to have a holiday, and it will not be until the twenty-fiveth, Yan Mingye feels more hopeful than before, and a month is too difficult.

I will go back tomorrow, Yan Mingxuan is the elder brother, so it is inevitable to worry about it, "Grandmother's birthday gift is not limited to how expensive it is, and it is best to do it yourself, Mingyu Mingqiao, you should accompany your grandmother more at home." ”

The two sisters nodded, the Ning family was very good to the two of them, except for the first two times when they went to Shou'an Hall to eat and came out, and then they ate and took it every time.

Yan Mingxuan: "And Shen Gongzi ......"

Halfway through his speech, he didn't know how to continue, Yan Mingxuan felt that Shen Yuanjing was a little pitiful, he was a wanderer when he was a child, and now he can't take the imperial examination.

But Shen Yuanjing didn't care, he kept smiling at the family banquet, and greeted each other when they met, which made Yan Mingxuan care a lot, especially when Yan Mingye just wanted to eat.

Yan Mingqiao pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what her brother had to say.

Yan Mingxuan smiled and said, "He is the one brought back by his grandfather and grandmother, although he has nothing to do with us, he must also be treated with courtesy." ”

He had seen how Yan Mingyue treated Shen Yuanjing, and that was not good.

Especially Yan Mingqiao also took classes with Shen Yuanjing, don't be like Yan Mingyue.

Yan Mingyu said: "I know. ”

She saw Shen Yuanjing only once when she went to Shou'an Hall to eat, and besides, she had no grudge or grudge, so she embarrassed him about what to do.

Yan Mingqiao wanted to persuade his brother not to worry too much, but finally nodded.

It's none of her business whether Satoshi is smart or not, she just needs to attend classes well.

After entering the wax moon, it seems to be colder, and Yan Mingqiao has resumed the days of going to and from school.

Yan Mingyue and Yan Mingru will not go to class when they enter the lunar month, but her class will not be on holiday until the twentieth lunar month.

Now that Shen Yuanjing has been studying for several days, Fu Zhongyan has two students, and it is impossible to put all his thoughts on Shen Yuanjing.

The class is half an hour and two quarters of an hour, usually three quarters of an hour for Shen Yuanjing's enlightenment, and the rest of the time is spent answering Yan Mingqiao's questions.

When giving a lecture to Shen Yuanjing, Yan Mingqiao read a book by herself, and when she lectured her, Shen Yuanjing looked like she was in a daze.

The two courses of calligraphy and painting and fuqin in the back, Shen Yuanjing stopped coming after two days.

He also explained the reason to his husband, saying that he was stupid by nature and couldn't learn this, so he simply stopped these two courses.

And the arithmetic class Yan Mingqiao only learned Fang Tian, Li Bu, Differential, Shaoguang, now to learn business skills, the arithmetic class is the best one Yan Ming Qiao learned, mainly not effortless, listen to it once to understand.

In this class, no matter how difficult the teacher said, Shen Yuanjing didn't say that he couldn't come to this class, although he didn't write anything or remember anything, he just listened there.

Occasionally, the gentleman would ask him, "Yuan Jing, can you keep up?" ”

Shen Yuanjing lowered his head: "I don't understand, Mr. doesn't have to take care of me." ”

Mr. knew that Shen Yuanjing was here to make up the numbers, so he simply stopped caring and concentrated on lecturing Yan Mingqiao.

If he really didn't understand, Shen Yuanjing wouldn't have come to the class.

Yan Mingqiao told herself not to meddle in her own affairs, this thought appeared in her mind, and Yan Mingqiao continued to learn from herself.

Every day after class, I eat a lot at dinner in Shou'an Hall, and occasionally go to Yumingxuan.

When I woke up that day, Yan Mingqiao smelled the sweet and sweet smell, and when I asked, I knew that it was Laba today.

Mama Li said: "Girl, I have to eat laba porridge today." ”

The big kitchen was busy early in the morning, and boiled the beans, rice, red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts, and longan that had been soaked the night in advance, boiled for a full hour, and finally added a small handful of rock sugar, and boiled for a while, and the laba porridge was completed.

This pot is made for the masters in the house, and it is not used for the next people to make such good rice, the Shen family plans to take advantage of today to go to the city to give porridge, the Guogong Mansion once in March, and today is just in time for the Laba Festival, so this matter will be done.

Yan Mingyue Yan Mingru still remembered that soup kitchen, her legs were numb, and she didn't dare to mention it again this time.

Shen didn't mention it, it was impossible to expect Yan Mingyu to go to charity, but she asked Yan Mingqiao if she wanted to go, Yan Mingqiao nodded, so she directly asked for a day off.

Mr. Fu often talks about people's livelihood and suffering, Yan Mingqiao wants to see with his own eyes, and the soup soup porridge is sent from morning to afternoon, and it is eight-treasure porridge and steamed buns. Originally, she didn't need Yan Mingqiao to do anything, but she wanted to try it, the porridge bucket was too high on the shelf, and she couldn't hold it, so she could only make steamed buns.

Each person is two, and then go to the queue to get porridge.

Everyone was not wearing thick clothes, and some of the toes were sticking out of their shoes.

Finally finished, Yan Mingqiao felt that he couldn't lift his arms, which was harder than writing big characters.

She couldn't help but think that if only the drumsticks of the white-cut chicken she had eaten yesterday hadn't fallen to the ground.

On the way back, Yan Ming was so sad that he couldn't lift his spirits, so he fell asleep in Shen's arms while sitting in the car.

For such a big child, it is inevitable that it is distressing to fall asleep when you are tired of doing these things.

Mama Zhao said: "Otherwise, the old slave hugged the fifth girl for a while?" ”

Shen shook his head, "I'll hold it, don't wake up with a toss." ”

She looked down at Yan Mingqiao, and felt a little more relieved in her heart, she still liked her daughter more, and they came with Yan Mingyue last time, although they didn't show their face, they were also impatient.

The Shen family didn't like those two concubines, of course, there was also the reason why Yan Mingqiao was well-behaved.

It looks like it's different from when I first came to the main courtyard, and I'm about to be seven years old.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, Yan Mingyu will be fourteen years old after the year, and fifteen years old and Xu, it is long time to discuss marriage.

There is also Yan Mingxuan, sixteen years later, and he should also settle the family affairs quickly.

The eldest son is now a showman, and he will take the township exam in the autumn of next year, and if he passes the exam, he will be able to become an official. It's just that Yan Mingxuan's homework is barely strong, and the chance of passing the exam is not great.

Anyway, Yan Mingxuan is also young, and if he can't do it next year, he will wait for another three years, which is not in a hurry.

Yan Mingqiao is still young, very popular, what worries Shen the most is Yan Mingyu, the last time she participated in the snow banquet, there were two people who asked her, but then it was over, and the people who Shen couldn't look down on naturally wouldn't let her daughter see it anymore.

Yan Guogong occasionally mentioned it, saying that it was time to discuss marriage, don't drag it, there are many children of the family of the right age, settle down early, if you are reluctant, you can marry later.

There is no mother who doesn't want her daughter to marry into a good family, Yan Mingyu was raised by her since she was a child, even if the marriage of the daughter of the Yan Guogong Mansion has to be considered by the Guogong Mansion, the Shen family also hopes that Yan Mingyu can live a satisfactory life.

Although the husband and wife were not happy after Shen herself got married, and the concubines of Yan Guo were one after another, she hoped that her two daughters would live better.

But thinking of Yan Mingyu, Shen only sighed, she was so worried, why didn't Yan Mingyu know that she was worried at all.

Shen sighed again.

After going back, Yan Mingqiao was sent back to the house, and the next day was on vacation, Yan Mingqiao's arms and legs were sore, and she lay in the house for a long time, and finally realized the happiness of the second sister.

She didn't have a book, Lin Xiang and Lin Zao were beside her and said the gossip in Shengjing City in recent days, and the two of them talked vividly, in short, it was quite interesting.

In the past, in Wutong Garden, the two maids rarely went out, but now they go out more, buy things for Yan Mingqiao, and inquire about the news outside, saving themselves from knowing anything when they go out, which is a taboo in other people's homes.

Lin Xiang said: "The day before yesterday, the prince of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei beat the little son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and the beating was miserable, and I heard that he couldn't get out of bed for several days. ”

Yan Mingqiao's eyes widened, and what Lin Xiang and the others talked to her the most was about the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
