By Jia Xiuzhen

Let's say that since Siqi went out, how beautiful he was in the past, he is now so miserable.In particular, there is a kind of idler in the world, who is impatient to think about his own affairs, so he can only talk about other people's affairs.Whether you know it or not, whether it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is to pass that momentary addiction.In addition, Wang Shanbao's family was sent to Zhuangzi. Although it was not as good as a married woman to question the crime, they had no backing after all, and they were even more gossip.

At first, Si Qiniang was very afraid of Si Qi's temper. After hearing this, she would argue with others, or do something when she couldn't turn the corner.Unexpectedly, Siqi was only busy making a few ordinary clothes for later wear, and didn't care about people coming and going.

Si Qiniang sighed: "Sure enough, I am a chronic person after being with the second girl, and I am much better with you."

Siqi sneered and said: "What do I care about with them? Even if I die in front of my eyes, they will never think of it in a few lifetimes! There are gossips all over the world. Isn’t it good to earn decent clothes for two full meals with your brain? You really don’t even have that ability, only a tongue with no bones left to move around. I don’t care about them!”

Si Qiniang nodded and said, "That's what you said." When she talked about my old lady again, she couldn't help crying.

Siqi said: "It's such a place inside. If you want to gain power and benefits, you have to exchange things. If the old lady doesn't know about this, it's fine. If you know, can you still punish the ladies? The one who always instigates Yes. Mom should be more careful, seeing that we have lost our backing, I am afraid it will be rare for us to get a good job in the future."

Sure enough, in only two days, Mrs. Si Qi was replaced by a laundry job. Although she felt dissatisfied, she was benefited because of the face of the old lady. How did she come and go now, what can she say? !

One day, Siqi was helping her mother choose vegetables, when a woman came in outside and asked, "Is this where Miss Siqi's house is?"

Si Qiniang hurried over to agree, and after a while a car stopped at the door, and a young daughter-in-law came out of it.Seeing Siqi in the room, he hurried out to greet him: "Sister Yunqiu, why are you here?"

Yun Qiu said with a smile: "Did the second girl tell you? It can be seen that we have no face in front of the girl."

Si Qiniang hurriedly welcomed the man into the house, and went to turn on the fire to boil water and make tea.

Seeing that it was Yunqiu who came, Siqi asked, "Could it be that the girl's property is still related to grandma?"

Yun Qiu smiled and said: "You are clever, but don't you know that we are all released? Grandma really doesn't have any property left, but the second and fourth girls have rich family backgrounds. You don't know yet, do you? The girl also sent a message, saying that her things have also been handed over to you, and the girls all believe in you."

Siqi didn't know how to react for a while, so Yunqiu took out the account book first, handed it to her and said: "Here are some business transactions that the second girl and the fourth girl have a part in. You should look through it first, and I will count it when I have it." I'd like to talk to you in detail."

Siqi originally thought that Yingchun probably had a few acres of land or a shop and let her take care of the rent, but unexpectedly it was a ready-made sale.There are food shops, Xianglu shops, sauce and vinegar shops, and even the sale of fragrant soap and foreign cloth.Although none of them accounted for much, the big one was no more than [-]%, and the little one was less than [-]%. After all, it was not a small number for Lin Lin to be together for a year.

Turning around, Siqi pointed to the food shop and asked: "Sister Yunqiu, what is this food for? How did you make so much money!"

Yunqiu smiled and said: "This is a big business, we can do everything. Dry noodles, pastries, pickled cooked food, what a big place. I'll show you around tomorrow when you're free. Now Chang'an City is full of There are several ready-made shops that sell our own food, and there are restaurants and restaurants everywhere, and many people ask us to buy. This place is the busiest, busy all year round, unlike Xianglu, which also follows the season of flowers and plants Walk."

Yunqiu saw that Siqi had finished reading, so he simply read the account book and told her everything from the restaurant, until he was stunned for a while after listening to Siqi, and sighed: "No wonder the fourth girl is always clamoring to talk to her." Let Lang Geer go outside and have a look, we are really shut up inside and don't know the many new things outside."

Yun Qiu said with a smile: "This is so fresh?! You haven't seen anything new from the Technician's Mansion, what kind of weird stuff, use it, oh my god, ten people can't stand up to one machine .That's called fresh."

After hearing this, Siqi became more and more yearning, and Yunqiu sighed with emotion: "Unfortunately, we are the capital of goodness under the feet of the emperor, and we behave very strictly. It's not like the south. I heard that it is normal for girls and daughter-in-laws to go to the streets now, and they wear clothes. What about Fanbang clothes. Here, it is very inconvenient for you, a daughter, to go out."

Siqi thought for a while and said, "I'm not afraid of this, I have my own way."

Two days later, Siqi told her mother that because he had left, the family had undergone major changes. Yingchun was afraid that his family's financial situation would be difficult, so he asked someone to find a job for him.Because I can read and write, I just need someone who can read the accounts, and from time to time I will inspect a few shops in the city.You get one tael of silver a month, and the host also rewards you on New Year's Day.

Since it's inconvenient for me to go in and out like this now, I thought I might as well comb myself.Si Qiniang was shocked when she heard this, and naturally refused.But now that the whole family has changed their livelihood, what Siqi said is really a good thing, and he can't bear to let it go like this.In addition, the family knew about Siqi and Pan You'an's affairs, and now Pan You'an fled in fear of crime.If this fugitive slave status is not discovered, he will have to remain anonymous for the rest of his life. If he is discovered, the government will punish him severely.Seeing that I can't come back in this life.

Moreover, the two Siqi brothers are willing to play chess by themselves, because they will not marry after they have combed themselves, and all the money they earn will naturally go to their mother's family.Siqi was originally the big girl of the girl in the mansion, seeing that he was kicked out and got the care of his master, how could he be wrong in the future?Compared with offering a few dowry gifts to others now, it is better to simply stay at home, and there will be long-term benefits.

For a few days like this, Siqi set up two seats at home and invited relatives, friends and neighbors, and then formally combed himself.

Some are determined not to marry, and some are busy with marriage.

Aunt Xue finally picked a suitable family for Xue Pan.This family's surname is Xia, and they are also family friends with Xue's family. They are called Osmanthus Xia's family, and they specialize in offering flowers and trees to the palace.The family is well-off, but the sons are not prosperous, and there is only one daughter left in the first line, named Xia Jingui.The master of the Xia family passed away early, and there was only an old lady who raised her daughter, and she cherished her like a jewel.

Both she and Aunt Xue are widows who take care of the family and raise children, and there is a lot to talk about the bitterness and bitterness in each, so I come here.She here is no better than the Xue family who has Xue Pan. She only raised a daughter. The family wealth is really easy to attract people's attention. For a long time, just dealing with the distant relatives of the clan is enough to sing a big show.

Seeing that Xue's family is related to Jia's family, in addition, they are well-matched, and the only daughter must marry into a family like Xue's, so that the family's property can be kept from falling into the hands of others, this is one of them.Another one, Mrs. Xia really likes Xue Pan very much, why?The judge is about to say, how can the old lady look at such an ignorant dude with his life on his back?But this is everyone's own cause.

She took her daughter to take charge of the property, and she didn't let the clansmen take advantage of it, so she was not soft-tempered.The so-called seek each other with the same spirit, people generally like people who are similar to themselves.And in her heart, a man should have the courage to protect his family. She has seen too many shameless people in her life, and she believes that fists are better than words.There is another sentence, this Xue Pan can kill people without incident, does it mean that the Xue family has a strong backing?Marrying in-laws with such a family is beneficial and harmless.

When Aunt Xue saw Xia Jingui's character and appearance, she felt that she was very much like Sister Feng.He thought that if he wanted to be able to restrain that bastard in his family, he had to be like this.In addition, where the Xia family is based, there is only this one girl, so naturally they all belong to her.With such a character and family background, it is not an exaggeration to say that people and wealth can gain both.

Baochai reminded Aunt Xue to inquire about the girl's temperament and behavior. Aunt Xue asked someone to inquire, "I heard that she has two tempers. This is the only family, and there is only one. I think she is pampered, so naturally she will not be soft. Your brother's temperament, you need someone who can confront him head-on to subdue him."

Baochai saw that Aunt Xue was very satisfied, and Xue Pan was also at that age, so it was rare to find a good match, so she stopped talking and only helped Aunt Xue manage Xue Pan's marriage.

Xue Pan, on the other hand, is still the same as before, and he goes to Jia Zhen in the East Mansion when he has nothing to do.Aunt Xue saw that the other end was busy with his marriage, while the other end was not paying attention, so she inevitably babbled a few words.Xue Pan responded, turned around and muttered: "I don't know what she looks like, so I'm going to marry her back. I just say she looks good-looking, but I don't believe there is anyone more beautiful than the third sister in this world..."

Baochai and Aunt Xue were talking about something, but they didn't listen to this sentence, but it fell into the ears of Xiangling who was waiting on the side. "Third sister? I don't know where the red card girl is again..." I just turned this thought and let it go.

Xue Baochai was busy with household chores, and after Xiangyun came back, the two of them didn't have time to get together. Since Xiangyun came back from Lin's mansion, he has become interested in medicine, and found some books to read, which is considered a happy career.Li Wan looked at it and gave some random pointers. Every time Xiangyun was relieved, he secretly praised "it turns out that my sister-in-law has such a talent and learning, but it's so common that I can't see it."

Xichun is poor, since Yingchun's family went to prepare for her marriage, she has been lonely here.This day, he studied the spells for several days in a row in the room, but he didn't make much progress, and felt troubled, so he simply threw his pen and went out for a walk.Go left and right, and you will arrive at Changcui nunnery, so you knock on the door and ask to see you.

Seeing that she was here, Miaoyu ordered the boy to boil water and make tea.Inevitably talking about welcoming the spring, Miaoyu said: "That day I was looking for a place to get the power of the moon spirit in the garden, and I heard that there was a reunion in the mansion, so I wanted to take a visit. It seemed to be watching from a distance. You two, when you get closer, it's Miss Lin and Miss Smith.

I heard that they wrote good poems, but the two weird girls were there, so they didn't go up to talk.It turned out to be an elegant thing about couplets under the moon. I don't know which bastard's idea is to serve hot wine in a hot pot.After waiting for them to go, I wanted to watch the moon by the water, but the hallway was full of the smell of meat and wine, which was really disappointing. "

Xichun laughed and said, "I don't know about other people, but Sister Yun must like her. She has always been mellow and delicious without hindering her heart. Sigh, what you said made me think about it too, but it's a pity that now You don't even have a companion. Although you are interesting, but you don't eat wine and meat, it's really not very beautiful."

Miaoyu took a deep breath and said, "I'm surprised, how can I allow you to enter my room."

Xichun laughed and said: "All the appearances of the Buddha cloud are illusory, probably Master Miao, you have some roots of Buddha's heart and wisdom, and you have seen through the ray of true meaning under my skin."

Miaoyu sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Xichun asked again: "What did you just say about the power of the moon spirit? What is it? The moon doesn't come every day, so you have to take advantage of the excitement. Even if you don't have fun that day, you have to go to meet the occasion, right? You still think they are dirty The turbid air, did not see the scene above."

Miaoyu said: "The power of the moon spirit is the power of the moon's accumulation. Naturally, there are ordinary days, but that day is the closest to the moon, and when the full moon is full, it is actually the strongest and purest opportunity for the moon spirit."

Xichun said: "Oh, then what is the use of this moon spirit power? How to absorb it?"

Miaoyu slowly shook her head: "My master once told me that the power of the moon spirit is the source of spirit transformation. There is no ancient power in the mountains and rivers here, but the power of the essence is still contained in the moon spirit. It can attract and absorb, forging the soul and cultivating the gods, which is of great benefit. It is a pity that the ancient exercises have not been handed down to the world, so I don't know how to absorb them. What we are doing is just reciting mantras to the moon and meditating."

Xichun's heart was moved, and she heard Miaoyu say again: "There are often records in ancient books that demon spirits worship the moon, so it can be seen that their inheritance has not been broken..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xichun stood up suddenly, and said excitedly, "So that's it! So that's it!" Then she cupped her fists at Miaoyu: "Thank you, Master Miao, for your reminder. If you succeed this time, Thank you again!" After saying that, he rushed outside excitedly, the girls who were chatting and laughing with the nuns in the courtyard outside did not talk at all, seeing that Xichun was about to leave the courtyard gate, he hurriedly parted ways with his playmates and followed closely go up.

When Xichun entered the house this time, she rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find books, and then read them hard, almost forgetting to eat and sleep.When asked outside, he only said that he was resting due to the wind and cold.Afterwards, he put down the book, closed the door and kicked everyone out, not knowing what was going on inside.I don't know how many days later, in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter inside, which woke up the girl guarding the door from her sleep.After she woke up, she began to worry again: "How can I report these things to grandma tomorrow..."
