Shen Yanjiao went to Shen Yanliu's small courtyard first.

The number of slaves of these brothers in the front yard is matched, and the four brothers are the same. But in addition to the routine configuration in the house, like Shen Yansong, there are also two brothers from Mrs. Shen, Shen Yanbai and Shen Yanzhang are from Mrs. Shen San, and there are also more intimate "own people" sent by Mrs. Shen.

But Shen Yanliu didn't.

Shen Yanjiao picked people this time, the strong girl and Luo Qingshi, she didn't let Second Mrs. Shen give her the public account in the house, and used her own body to get the deed of these two people.

If it is the public account of the house, the person who picks it is the person in the house, and the government has the final say on how to arrange it in the future, and it is not "one's own person".

Therefore, under normal special circumstances, the master and servant will keep the personal deed in their own hands and will not be mobilized by the government.

Like Mama Song beside her, her biological mother left her side before, and now the deed is also in her hands.

This time, she arranged Luo Qingshi to Shen Yanliu's side, and Shen Yanliu can be regarded as the first time to call, with "her own people".

"Aliu,"

Shen Yanjiao first explained to Shen Yanliu in private, "Although this Luo Qingshi has become a slave of you and me now, you must remember not to wantonly scold him with the identity of the master——"

Shen Yanliu looked at her suspiciously and said, "Sister, what do you mean?" ”

"That's what you think,"

In the past, Shen Yanjiao may have been afraid that her younger brother would not understand the world, so she deliberately made her words more plain, but after seeing Ah Liu's scheming last Qixi Festival, she spoke more directly, "He is not an ordinary person, he is a talented person, and the ones you like...... This Luo Qingshi can teach you. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Yanliu's eyes widened, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Don't tell outsiders,"

Shen Yanjiao instructed in the end, "In the future, he will be your personal servant, accompanying you to study at night, and making tea and handing over the cup is naturally also a proper meaning." ”

This matter must not be known to his father Shen Ke and the gentlemen who studied in the school, let a slave teach things, and teach these noble families where to put their faces.

If it spreads, the reputation of the Shen brothers will be damaged.

But as long as Shen Yanliu himself doesn't say it, the slave is waiting by the side when he is studying, who knows what this slave is doing?

"I understand,"

Shen Yanliu hurriedly said, "It's Mr. Luo in secret, and it's Qingshi on the surface, right?" ”

"You can treat him as a gentleman in your heart, and you can't call him out, you can't do it openly or secretly,"

Shen Yanjiao corrected, "Only after a long time can you see people's hearts, if you can't afford the word Mr., you will have to get along for a long time in the future." ”

As the saying goes, knowing people knows faces but not hearts, she only heard rumors about this person in her previous life, but what is this person's character, it still has to look at the long run.

Shen Yanliu nodded solemnly.

"Aliu,"

The two sisters and brothers said this in private, Shen Yanjiao thought of something, hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth, "In this world, although money and food are scarce, sincerity is rare." ”

There are thousands of people in this world, and the hustle and bustle seems to be lively, but if you pinch your fingers, how many can there be in this world, when you are in trouble, when you die, you really shed a tear?

But if there is anyone in this world who only cares about you as a person, rather than your money and food, that is worth cherishing.

In the previous life, she was paranoid about these things outside her body, and in this life, she also hopes that Ah Liu can understand.

"I don't care if it's rare or not,"

Ah Liu raised his little face and looked at his sister, and said sonorously, "I just want my sister to be good - but if it is for my sister's good, I will do it desperately, if I can make my sister good, even if I am scolded by the world, so what?" ”

Shen Yanjiao: "......"

She reached out and pinched her brother's little face, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Hmm." ”

At this moment, the rotten soul that was almost frozen to death by human affection in her previous life suddenly burst into a little vitality in her heart.

Back on the side of Mozhu Courtyard, Shen Yanjiao saw that Qiu Yu was taking a few little girls, holding a long bamboo pole with a small fishing net, carefully catching the stinky elephant flying in the courtyard.

Their courtyards are attached to the garden, and there are many flowers and trees, and every year at this time, these annoying insects fly in. As soon as this insect touches it, it has a stench, and no one can stand it, so every time, the little girls are busy repelling insects.

And the strong girl who had just been bought, stood in the yard stupidly, with an ignorant and cramped look.

Qiu Yue saw Shen Yanjiao coming over, and hurriedly took the brocade mat.

Shen Yanjiao didn't enter the house, but after sitting on the brocade cushion under the porch, she motioned to Qiu Yue to bring this girl over.

"What's your name?"

Shen Yanjiao took another cup of tea handed by Qiu Yue, took a sip and looked at the strong girl.

"Pinch, pinch...... Pinch called Black. ”

That strong girl's accent sounded weird.

Shen Yanjiao asked a few more words, only to know that this black girl was sold here and there, and she had turned around several places, so the accents of many places sounded weird.

Qiu Yue corrected the pronunciation of this black girl for her several times, but this black girl is just a "I" word, and it is said to be similar to "pinch", let alone some other words.

Shen Yanjiao knew that the accent could not be changed in a while, so she smiled and asked her to learn slowly in the future.

"From now on, you will call it Qiuguo,"

Shen Yanjiao thought for a while and said, "It's fruitful, and it sounds festive." ”

"Medium,"

Qiu Guo said happily, "Pinching is called Qiu Guo...... Kemeiri—"

Shen Yanjiao: "...... Well, that's good. ”

As he spoke, he changed the subject, "I heard that you have a lot of strength?" How big is it? ”

Qiu Guo pointed at Qiu Yue and said loudly: "Like her-pinching one person can pick up ten-"

Autumn Moon: "......"

Shen Yanjiao pointed to a large bucket of water carried by the two grandmothers at the gate of the courtyard and said, "That bucket of water, can you pick it up?" ”

Qiu Guo glared at it, and said excitedly: "That's a fart." ”

"Autumn Fruit,"

Qiu Yue hurriedly said when she heard this, "What nonsense are you talking about - the girl also said foul words in front of her." ”

Shen Yanjiao motioned to Qiuyue not to interrupt.

At this time, Qiu Guo rolled up her sleeves, looked around, and strode to the stone table in the courtyard, clasping the stone table with both hands, and without much effort, the entire stone table was actually moved by her.

Probably afraid that Shen Yanjiao would look down on her and not be able to eat enough in the future, this Qiuguo threw the stone table in his hand and caught it again, and then smiled at Shen Yanjiao.

The girls and grandmothers in the yard all exclaimed in surprise and looked at Qiuguo like monsters.

Shen Yanjiao couldn't help but smile: "Put it down, I know." ”

After speaking, he instructed Mama Song to temporarily give Qiuguo's silver according to the second class in her courtyard, which was slightly lower than Qiuyue and Qiuyu.

"Pinch ...... Pinch ......"

Hearing that Mama Song asked her to thank the girl, Qiu Guo looked embarrassed, "Pinch it...... I don't understand how to pinch money...... Just let the pinch be full-"

She was hungry and scared.

Every time, it was sold by the owner's family because it could be eaten. Besides, the average master, if he wants to buy a slave with strength, he can buy a man directly, and she is a woman, relying on hard work...... In fact, no master is willing to ask for it.

She was often scolded for doing ordinary rough work, and because she ate too much.

"Eat as you like,"

Shen Yanjiao smiled, "I heard that you still stayed in a martial arts hall?" Can you do two tricks? ”

Qiu Guo scratched his head and smiled innocently: "No, but pinch ...... Will fight—"

Qiu Yue pursed her lips, and Shen Yanjiao also smiled. Then let Qiu Yue take her to settle first, first teach her some rules in the house, and then arrange some strength work in the courtyard, and said that if this girl is free, she will practice more strength......

She might be able to use it in the future.

As the weather became cooler day by day, things in the Shen Mansion became more and more common. First of all, Shen Ning's family wanted to go back to the south, and when they were leaving, Fu Yunshan came to see Shen Yanjiao, and his eyes turned red before he could speak.

"Third sister, when you get to the south, I'll bring you good things over,"

Fu Yunshan reluctantly said, "There are also Ah Liu's, and they are also brought over...... If someone bullies you in the future, give me a letter, and I will support you. ”

Shen Yanjiao easily coaxed away this future famous minister, and sighed in her heart for a while.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Ke's birthday was held soon after, and the beginning of winter soon passed in the busy and lively atmosphere, and it also entered October.

When the first little snow fell, the Qin family asked someone to send some things, and it was said that the Qin family girl gave some gadgets to the girls of the Shen Mansion.

There is a big burden in this, when Shen Yanrou called Shen Yanjiao to her courtyard, she pulled her into the wing room and pointed to this big burden, pushed Shen Yanjiao and smiled: "Take your things away quickly - it takes up a lot of my place." ”

Shen Yanjiao: "...... What is this? ”

She vaguely guessed, but she thought it was funny: it was really a big burden.

Mama Jin, who was beside Shen Yanjiao, opened it with a smile, revealing a few fur clothes inside.

"There are two cloaks here, and two half-kans......"

Mama Jin smiled, "Look at this hair, how good it is, I'm afraid it's difficult to buy such a quality with money outside-"

Shen Yanjiao also didn't expect Nie Xiao to do what she said, but she was ...... at this time Something is wrong.

The name is not right.

None of the links in the discussion of relatives have not left, and if she accepts it, there is not much difference between it and private teaching.

Shen Yanrou smiled and said, "The sister of the Qin family gave it, what can others say?" ”

In fact, she also felt that it was a little inappropriate, but Nie Xiao sent it with the Qin family's sincerity, and if she made a fuss and returned it, thinking about the in-law relationship between the Shen family and the Qin family now...... Nor is it appropriate.

"Let's put it at my sister's place first,"

Shen Yanjiao still refused, "When Sister Qin passes the door, I will thank her in person, and it will not be too late to take it." ”

It's what it means to put it off.

Shen Yanrou understood and said with a smile: "Okay, then you take this little cloak first—it's for Ah Liu." The Qin family was sympathetic to the fourth brother's illness, and specially sent an extra piece of clothing, which I am afraid is not to say. ”

Shen Yanjiao smiled, and she didn't refuse again.

"If you want to say that this Nie Xiao also has a heart,"

Waiting for Mama Jin to withdraw, Shen Yanrou smiled and whispered to Shen Yanjiao, "This time, I also gave my grandmother a wolf skin mattress, and my grandmother likes it very much." ”

In fact, Old Madam Shen lacked this wolf skin mattress anywhere, just to see that Nie Xiao had a heart and was sincerely happy for this good marriage.

Shen Yanjiao smiled, pretended to be shy, and turned sideways.

At this time, Shen Yanrou approached her and took a closer look, and saw that the corners of Shen Yanjiao's eyes were red, so she took her hand and looked at it, and her delicate fingertips seemed to be a little rougher, and she couldn't help but be moved in her heart.

She knew that the third sister often stayed late at night for some of the embroidery work in her dowry.

At first, Mama Jin guessed that the third girl was pretending to be in front of everyone in the house, but who knew that after such a long time, the third sister had been doing it.

And the embroidery, the pattern, the embroiderer, the quantity...... It really surprised Mama Jin for several days, and Lian Hu really missaw these three girls.

"Third sister, don't stay up late like this for me,"

Shen Yanrou said sincerely, "There are also embroiderers in the house, let them do it-"

"It didn't work too hard,"

Without waiting for Shen Yanrou to finish speaking, Shen Yanjiao smiled and lightly covered her sister's mouth and said, "Do you know how happy I am when I am doing this?" I can't do anything else, I can do something for my sister, and I sleep peacefully at night. ”

That's what she really said.

In her previous life, she owed her sister too much, and she really didn't feel hard to do this kind of work in this life.

The truth is always moving, although Shen Yanrou is gentle and rarely spoken, she is not a stupid person, whether it is true or not, she can still feel it.

After hearing this, Shen Yanrou's eyes turned red, and she grabbed Shen Yanjiao's hand and shook it gently: "In the future, even if we have a home, we will be together, and the sisterhood will always be weak...... Being able to support each other in this world is a blessing in a lifetime. ”

Shen Yanjiao also shook her sister's hand, feeling the warmth, thinking that she was about to get married, she couldn't help but be reluctant.

Fortunately, in this life, my sister is married to the prince of Anjun.

The more reluctant you are, the faster the days seem to pass.

After more than half a month, Shen Yanrou's wedding date has officially arrived.
