Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 71

However, Ye Xiaoqiao's aunt and uncle came over in person again, and directly gave Wu and Li Xia a bag of silver, which contained ten taels.

"Sister, what are you doing? We can't ask for this money!" Mrs. Wu hastily postponed. Originally, it would be great for her brother-in-law to bring her man to meet the world. Really can't take it.

The aunt also said: "Why can't you take it? This is what your Ye Zhu deserves! You don't know my temper, and what I say is true! If it weren't for Ye Zhu this time, your brother-in-law wouldn't be able to earn more One sum, I think it’s too little to divide it. Second sister, hurry up and get it, or I’ll be angry.” Everyone was at a loss when he said this. When did Ye Zhu do something? Made money for my uncle?
The uncle said from the side: "Look at your sister's quick temper, she didn't say anything, and Ye Zhu certainly wouldn't say anything, the thing is like this, this time we go out, except for those tea leaves and silk, me and A few people also transported some food, but the few of us didn’t know as much as my brother-in-law, and I was almost cheated by someone with something. Fortunately, my brother-in-law saw something wrong and told me, so I and a few others didn’t know anything. Losing money, the boss over there was not at home, but the shopkeeper took advantage of the loopholes, almost ruined the reputation, and the price was reduced a lot for us, and we all made a lot of money. And the relationship with the boss is better than before, tell me, is this due to my brother-in-law? The ten taels of silver was discussed by us, and if you don’t accept it, you think it’s too little.” The uncle really said something People have to accept it. If they don't accept it, they will look down on them.

Ye Xiaoqiao knew that those who did business were all about profit, but he would not treat those who benefited him badly.But she was curious, how did the father help the uncle?Ye Zhu finally said: "It's nothing, it's just that when I carried the grain bag, I felt that the weight was wrong." Ye Zhu has been working for a long time, and a bag weighs about one hundred catties, so he must have guessed it. That day when he saw people carrying food, he thought of helping him too. He had a lot of strength and was grateful to his brother-in-law, so it was right to contribute, but he felt something was wrong when he moved it. This bag was bigger than before. The weight is not the same.

Ye Zhu is not the kind of person who yells casually. After returning home, he secretly told his uncle, the final result is of course that someone mixed sand in the grain, and the weight is of course different, and the person who mixed the sand was the shopkeeper of the shop. They were not there, and those people were from other places, so they wanted to make a fool of themselves, but they didn't expect to be destroyed by Ye Zhu, a layman who didn't understand anything.The shopkeeper is very careful in his work. He does not mix sand in every bag, but part of it. No one will check the bags one by one. It was discovered later. It has been a long time since then. Who can tell by then? ?
But this has a great impact on the boss. After all, if you want to do business for a long time, people who have no reputation like this are not willing to cooperate with him. The shopkeeper is getting old, so he wants to get more while he can still move. Money, who knew it would fall on this?

Ye Zhu has long forgotten about this matter, and it is not worth telling his family about such a matter. He doesn't know how much his behavior has reduced everyone's losses, and he can't watch his eldest brother-in-law be punished. Pit.

For the first time, Xiaofeng began to look at Ye Zhu with admiration. The ten taels of silver was pushed back and forth, but in the end it was kept, because the uncle said that this was what those people meant, and he would not accept it if he didn't accept it. I can't explain it to everyone, and I will need this brother-in-law's help in the future. It's not enough to do business once, and I will definitely do it several times. Ye Zhu's ability to feel the weight is really useful.

Ye Xiaoqiao remembered a story he heard before, saying that someone can grab the weight needed by the customer and become a sight, does his father count as such?

Ye Zhu couldn't sleep at night, the ten taels of silver was really difficult, he felt uneasy about accepting it, Wu said: "Brother-in-law has already said that, so you can relax, brother-in-law is in business, he will definitely not suffer, we Don't worry."

"Oh, that's the reason you said, but I always feel uneasy in my heart." It didn't help me, so I got ten taels of silver,
Still can't sleep at night.

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "You, the small bridge is not as quiet as ours. As for the yam you mentioned, it will be the first one in our family to grow it, and you won't know it for ten taels of silver." I'm flustered. Even Li Qiu knows this. What is rare is the most precious? I don't think any of the kids today are scared by ten taels of silver, but you, who can't sleep in the middle of the night, and the silver is not here On the bed, don't hesitate."

However, Ye Zhu and his family didn't tell anyone about the ten taels of silver they got later, otherwise the people in the old house would hear about it, and it would be a disaster.You have to find a way to get some out to stop it.

Sometimes Ye Xiaoqiao thinks, if the old man is gone, it would be great, and there will be no such dutiful son's hat, but when he thinks about it, he feels a little unkind, how can he expect him to be gone? ?This is very bad.

If there are difficulties ahead, they should be resolved instead of relying on unrealistic fantasies.

It is said that when Mrs. Guo married her daughter-in-law, she originally thought that she would let her daughter-in-law serve her, but after a while, she felt that she did not control her daughter-in-law Xu, while her son became closer to her daughter-in-law. .

Ye Xiaoqiao is watering the evening primrose. Summer is here, and the evening primrose is beginning to bloom. Of course, it is at night, but it does not prevent Ye Xiaoqiao from liking it. Every morning, he just waters the flowers and plants in the yard, watching I feel refreshed, but seeing my fourth aunt Xu appearing in front of me, Ye Xiaoqiao feels that the weather is very unpleasant today.

"You girl, come to water the flowers early in the morning, let me just say, it's just different from the girls in the country."

Is watering the flowers different?Ye Xiaoqiao slandered in her heart, and said to Xu with a smile: "Fourth Aunt, you came here early in the morning, what's the matter?"

"Look at what your child said, you can't come if you have nothing to do? We are a family after all, aren't we?" Xu said angrily.

To be honest, for Mrs. Xu, Ye Xiaoqiao is still a little grateful to her. After all, with her, Mrs. Guo will not always pay attention to her home, but if Mrs. Xu pays attention to her home, That won't work.

Mrs. Wu also came over to feed the pigs, but the apron hadn't been taken off yet. Mrs. Xu said immediately when she saw it: "Second sister-in-law, how can you do this job? I think your natal nephew is a scholar. You You can buy a maid to serve you."

Wu said: "Where do I have such a good life? If these few pigs are not fed well, I will depend on them all year round."

Ye Xiaoqiao heard Mrs. Xu say Brother Xiaoshan, and she really had a purpose, and she really did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"Where is this? Second sister-in-law, you see that your life is getting better and better. It's not like us, everyone in the family is lazier than the other. It's not my sister-in-law who is gossiping, just like my sister-in-law, let her do a little work Don't do it, if I say a few words, my mother-in-law will look at me like an enemy! Really, I am also a daughter of others, and I am also loved by my mother. People say that it is difficult to be a daughter-in-law. I I still thought it was a joke, but now it looks like it’s really not a joke. There are so many on the booth, alas, it’s better for you, I separated them early, don’t need to look at their faces, I just vented their anger, second sister-in-law, I Let me tell you, although I have been a maid for several years, I have never done rough work in the mansion. Now that I am fine, I have to do all the firewood chopping. My hands will become rough in a few days. It looks like it. They just have rice in the bowl and they don’t think it’s fed to their mouths.” Probably looking for someone to vent to, Xu complained, “I’ve never seen such a mother-in-law, it’s time every day , you have to knock outside our window, you said she just didn't like me, how sweet she said at the beginning, she said that she treated me like a girl, then her girl would do nothing every day, if I did that, wouldn't you treat me like that? To scold to death?"

"Fourth brother and sister, you'd better not say a few words, no matter what you say, you are the elders, and you are the only one who speaks out badly." Wu Shi didn't want to hear her complain, she knew how difficult Guo Shi was to get along with , I don’t need this sibling to say it again, but the three of them were not her own daughter-in-law before, and they were not close to them, so it’s okay to say, isn’t this her own daughter-in-law?Why is it still like this? Don't you think that when Mrs. Guo gets old, she will have to rely on Mrs. Xu's care?Ye Gen is her precious lump, and she is also in love with the daughter-in-law here, so why didn't she catch her eye?

But Mrs. Wu didn't think about such a profound truth. She knew that Mrs. Xu had been talking like this for a long time, and she must be laying an ambush for the next topic.

Sure enough, as expected by Wu, Xu cried for a long time, and concluded in one sentence, the marriage depends on whether the mother-in-law is good or not, and if it is not, then it is bad luck.

"The second sister-in-law is a virtuous person, and the mother of the scholar must also be a virtuous person. I have met the sister-in-law over there a few times. She is a blessed person. In the future, whoever becomes her daughter-in-law must be blessed Yes. Even the talented master must have a bright future in the future, but why hasn’t he got married yet.”

Wu said: "I'm looking for it."

She didn't want to talk to Mrs. Xu, and there was no need for it at first, Mrs. Xu said: "Then there must be maids around, they are all talented masters. There are not many people around, it's not good, and it's not good to say it. I'm sorry."

"Xiaoshan is studying in the county school, so there's no need for it." Wu Shi said lightly.

"That's not going to work. I used to stay in that big family. They still didn't have any fame. There are a lot of maids and wives around me. Master Xiucai must have at least one maid by his side? Second sister-in-law, my natal family has a niece Son, this year is also fourteen, if you don't dislike it, why don't you be a servant girl for Master Xiucai?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qiao who was eavesdropping beside her was a little startled. After a long time, she thought that the fourth aunt was a matchmaker for Brother Xiaoshan, but she didn't expect that she was trying to get a maid.

No, what's the benefit of being a maid?Wait, this fourth aunt came from a rich family, so what is the way out for this maid, the servant girl?No way, is the fourth aunt's idea?This, this, this, really deserves to be a maid in a wealthy family, and her mental state is not ordinary.

Ye Xiaoqiao's guess was right, Xu's idea was really what she came up with. It's not like she hadn't thought about letting her niece's niece be the official wife of the scholar, but she had stayed in that rich family and knew that it was right for her. How strict, why should a talented gentleman marry you, a powerless country girl?Isn't that a dream?Since you don't want to dream, let's think about the reality, those young masters and so on, there are not many close maids who end up becoming concubines?He still eats and drinks, and takes care of his relatives, and the scholar master of the Wu family has become a scholar at such a young age. He might become a grandpa of Juren in the future, and it is more likely that he can become an official. It would be a big deal for such a person to be a concubine. Glory!And there are relatives, which is really good and couldn't be better.

She doesn't have that good luck anymore, but there are opportunities in front of her, why not give it a try?She knew that the other sisters-in-law were not interested in Guo Shi, so they vomited bitterness when they met, just hoping to get closer, and when the time came, they said that they would be maids. This matter is not [-]% accurate. ?

It has to be said that the ones who were taken by a rich family were so thoughtful, making them look like Zhaidou. I still wanted to be so comprehensive, but I forgot that the environment now is not that big family.Mrs. Wu said directly with a straight face: "Although Xiaoshan is my nephew, he has his own parents. I will not tell such a thing in front of them. Fourth sibling, if you are fine, just Go back! After being out for so long, didn’t you say that your mother is not satisfied with you? If you let her find out, you will be even more dissatisfied if you are not dead?” Immediately issued an order to evict the guest, Xu knew that this matter would not happen all at once, Anyway, there is plenty of time, and I will grind it slowly in the future. There will always be a chance, so I left with a smile.

"What's all this?" Wu shook her head, thinking of living a good life by opportunistically, why can't she earn money in a down-to-earth manner?
Ye Xiaoqiao thought to himself: Brother Xiaoshan is also a piece of fat, and many people still want to take a bite!She even talked about letting her niece's daughter be a maid!Could it be that Fourth Aunt thinks it's good to be a maid herself?It is simply inexplicable.
