When Zhao Wangshu returned home, he saw his father with a sad face, his mother weeping, and his brother with an angry face, "Big brother, what's wrong?" What about grandmothers? ”

"Little sister, don't worry, the eldest brother won't sell his sister for glory, I won't go to that academy, I'm studying in the clan, and I can also go to high school." Zhao Yin said seriously.

Zhao Wangshu was at a loss, what do you mean by this?

Her mother, Zhao Li, came over and hugged her into her arms, "Xiao Yue'er, Ah Niang's Xiao Yue'er, Ah Niang won't let them take you." ”

Zhao Wangshu was even more at a loss, who are they?

Why take her?

"A-Niang, don't cry first, tell me first, what's going on, okay?" Zhao Wangshu frowned and asked.

Without waiting for Li to stop crying and answer the question, Zhao Wangshu's grandmother Zhao Cuishi returned.

She also had a gloomy face, which made Zhao Wangshu mutter, is this something big that is about to fall?

"Grandma, take a sip of tea." Zhao Wangshu poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to Zhao Cui's hand.

"Good boy." Zhao Cuishi took the cup and smiled at her.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Zhao Wangshu asked directly.

Zhao Cuishi drank the tea, and then said slowly: "Someone from the mansion in the city has come." ”

The matter is actually very simple, the concubine became a queen, which made some people feel that they had found a shortcut to the rise of the family.

So I want to select ten little girls with good qualifications from the clan and send them to the mansion, focusing on training, which will be of great use in the future.

As for what is of great use, everyone in the clan knows it.

Zhao Wangshu's elders are unwilling to let Zhao Wangshu become a pawn in the family marriage, just now Zhao Cui's went to the owner of the village, just to get rid of this matter, but unfortunately......

The wealth and power of the sky have confused the minds of many people in the clan.

"There are so many orphan girls in the clan, if you want to raise girls in the mansion, you can take them to raise them, why do you want to rob my daughter?" The more Li thought about it, the more sad he became.

There are no girls in the two rooms of the big house, two sons and one concubine in the big house, and three sons and one concubine in the second room.

"The mansion wants to raise a girl, but it is obviously ill-intentioned, and Brother Kuang is doing this thing in a fool's way." Father Zhao said hatefully.

Ties the rise of the Zhao family to the woman's body, which is simply unknown.

You must know that the family that rises by women cannot last long, for example, the Fan family is the best example.

"Grandma, if I don't go to Zhizhai Academy, can my little sister not go to the mansion?" Zhao Yin asked tentatively.

"Big brother, just now Grandma said, even if you don't go to Zhizhai Academy, I have to go to the mansion." Zhao Wangshu accepted this matter faster than his family, "Grandma, when am I going?" ”

"In five days, the mansion will send a carriage to pick you up." Zhao Cuishi sighed.

"Grandma, who else is there besides me?" Zhao Wangshu then asked.

"There are also the twelve mothers of the five sisters-in-law of Yanhe Street, the Chunniang of the Mulberry Garden Pi Ge'er family, the third mother of the Wan Ge'er family of the chicken farm, the youngest daughter of the Liu family on the ancestral hall Shuhui, the Xiuniang of Lin Ge'er on the lower street of the ancestral hall, the Shuqing of Mr. Shen's house in the school and the Ying Niang of the tofu workshop."

From generation to generation, the population is too large, Zhaojiazhuang has long developed into a small town, the owner is the mayor, and the patriarch is still the head of the mansion.

"Grandma, didn't you say there were ten people?" Zhao Wangshu counted it, and with her, there were only eight.

"There is also the three-bedroom Jiahua on the corridor of the mansion and the double branch of the six-room in the back room."

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you choose two more, just make up twelve." "She has thought about the name, the Zhao family's twelve golden hairpins.

"Maybe there will be more people in the future, just ten of you now." After all, one of the ten people is now fourteen years old, and two are thirteen years old.

If you can't raise it for two years, you should find the right person to marry.

"Mother, Xiao Yue'er went to the mansion, can she let Hong Chang follow her to serve?" Li asked, wiping tears from his eyes.

"In addition to Hong Chang, I am going to go to the city to go to the slave market tomorrow and buy three more maids for Xiao Yue'er, Xiao Yue'er has someone arranged by the family to serve her, and we can rest assured." Zhao Cui's didn't say yes, lest the people who arranged it at the mansion be unkind and teach her good granddaughter.

"You don't need to buy people, there is so much money at home." Zhao Wangshu knew that although the life of the family was better than that of most people in the village, it only relied on the harvest in the field.

Zhao's father and Zhao Yin have to study, participate in the imperial examination, and hand over the bundles to the academy, which is quite a lot.

There are less than ten helpers and servants in the family.

Zhao Wangshu was waiting by his side, and there was only one Hongchang.

"After Changming went to the bundle of Zhizhai Academy, he came out of the mansion, saving a lot of money, and he bought seven or eight people for you." Zhao Cuishi said with a smile.

Zhao Yin's eyes widened, "I study, it turns out that it costs so much money!" ”

"You just found out!" Father Zhao snorted coldly, "I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are." ”

"Tell me as if you know." Zhao Cuishi stabbed his son angrily and didn't let him say that he was a good grandson.

Zhao's father touched his nose in embarrassment, and Zhao Li and Zhao Wangshu looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, don't pestle here, Li, you go to the kitchen and see how the Chinese food is prepared? You father and son go to the study to read, if you are an official, Xiao Yue'er will have to rely on her in the future, and the mansion will not be able to handle Xiao Yue'er's family affairs. ”

Sending people away, Zhao Cuishi pulled Zhao Wangshu and asked, "You go to send the Fan family, what did they say?" ”

"Mrs. Fan asked me to thank you, Miss Fan......" Zhao Wangshu hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, "She wanted to ask her eldest brother, but I didn't let her ask." ”

"Done right." Zhao Cuishi agreed with Zhao Wangshu's approach.

"Grandma, when the eldest brother comes to his senses, he will definitely ask, how should I answer?" Zhao Wangshu asked slightly uneasy.

Zhao Cuishi knocked his fingers on her head, "Bad girl, you coax your eldest brother, coax a quasi, will you not know how to answer?" ”

Zhao Wangshu grinned, reached out to hug her arm, and said coquettishly: "Grandma." ”

"Xiao Yue'er, you are a smart child, you go to the mansion, grandma believes that you will not suffer, but after all, it is not your own home, you will inevitably be wronged, grandma is very reluctant when she thinks of this." Zhao Cuishi touched her face.

Zhao Wangshu's great-grandfather, this branch, has not many heirs, and is an only son for two consecutive generations, and when it comes to Zhao Yin's generation, Zhao Cui's thought that his daughter-in-law would only add a grandson to her, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy and an extra granddaughter.

Although the family is not as rich as the mansion, Zhao Wangshu is also pampered, if it weren't for this incident in the clan, Zhao Cui's family would never send his granddaughter to the mansion.

She had already thought about it, and when her granddaughter and Lu were married, she would marry the Xiucai in the next village that she had already been in love with.

The granddaughter is close, and she can help too.

But now this situation is really infuriating!

"Grandma, I went to the mansion, can't I go home?" Zhao Wangshu frowned, the mansion is detaining them as prisoners?

"I come back for three days in one season, I can come back for two days in the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and I live at home from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, and I have to go back to the mansion on the sixth day of the new year." Zhao Cuishi had already asked.

When Zhao Wangshu heard this arrangement, he didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh dryly.
