By Jia Xiuzhen

When Jia Lan went to the ethnology school, Li Wan, Aunt Yan and others were very worried for the first few days, but later saw that he could keep up with the class, and made friends with some children of the same age, and learned that the conversation and jokes at home were more fluent than before, so they all Gradually relax.Li Wan would occasionally bring him more snacks, share the food with others, and show him more intimacy.

Xiaojin, a new girl in the courtyard, had a few days off with her mother for important family matters. Seeing that she was out of her mind these days, mother Chang agreed to let her go back.A few days later, she came back in high spirits. She thought that her monthly payment would be deducted according to the rules, but no one mentioned it, which made her worry for nothing.

It turned out that Zhang Cai's family was in a hurry when they saw that Zhang Cai really wanted to divorce his wife. She was the first to work with Sister Feng, but now she had no idea and naturally asked Sister Feng. Got an idea.

When her cheap brother came to make trouble again, Zhang Cai's family said: "Although your mother married my father, you have nothing to do with my family. Your surname is your own father's surname, but you are thinking about your stepfather's property. I don’t know what’s the reason?” Asked her brother this question, what he kept saying earlier was “I’ve been called my father for so many years.” Now it seems that it’s just a cheap father.

He then went home to discuss with his mother about changing his surname. His mother didn't pay attention at first, and she came to spoil the only seedling, so naturally there was nothing wrong with it.It's just that this word spread to his ex-husband's family, and the family refused to obey, and came to the door and said: "It was because of this son, and he also inherited the surname, that you were allowed to remarry with your family property. Now Since you want to change this son's surname to stepfather, then return the family property back then!"

This is a shameless thing, but this cheap brother of Zhang Cai's family is a master who can do everything with money. He only thinks that Zhang Cai's family will marry Zhang Cai and work as an errand in the family of Jia's family, and he is also a manager. , I don’t know how much money I have, and I want to hold on to this thigh. Compared with this, changing the surname and recognizing the ancestor is a big deal!

So he went back to persuade his old mother, and asked about the things he brought over back then, although he didn't have much money, but now he couldn't change it in his hands, and now he had no reason to ask Zhang Cai's family for it, so he told his mother After discussing, they moved out the house they are currently living in, settled the matter on the other side first, and then changed their surname, so that they would be the serious brothers of Zhang Cai's family.

His mother is also an ignorant person, so she listened to what he said clearly and wisely, so she let him go.So he pawned the house and exchanged dozens of taels of silver, and returned the family property brought over by his relatives in the past, and he stopped making noise after taking the silver, and set up a written certificate, saying that marriage has nothing to do with life or death.As long as the matter was settled, he went to Zhang Cai's family and told him about changing his surname, and said that there was no place to live now, so he asked Zhang Cai's family to buy him a decent house.

Zhang Cai's family didn't show up, but Zhang Cai stood at the door and said to the mother and son: "You want to have my father's surname, that's your business, as long as my father's family agrees, how can we find our family every day?" Come? My mother-in-law is being married by Mingmei. I gave all the dowry back then, and brought some dowry.

Now that you have sold all the old houses left by my father-in-law, it is too much to say that you have nothing.Just tossing with me every day, could it be that you spent all the money left by my father-in-law, and you want to change to a cheaper one so that you can earn more?Then you can't fall in love with me, firstly, my mother-in-law is still alive, and secondly, your mother is a generation behind me! "

The old lady was so ashamed that she almost fainted, but that day the cheap brother-in-law thought everything was settled, so he stood at the corner of the street and argued with Zhang Cai, and surrounded many idlers to watch the fun. After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter , someone said: "This brother is doing a good job, as long as your mother is here, you can change your surname every year, and you will not have to worry about money for the rest of your life! But you have to be careful, how did you find a cheap brother-in-law?"

Another person said: "Brother, don't waste your time here, hurry up and find another family, your mother is getting older every day!"

Where did the old lady hear these words, she fainted in the sedan chair long ago, and the cheap brother-in-law also turned purple, couldn't stand any longer, and hurriedly took his old lady away from the place.Afterwards, he was ashamed to look for the door again, and the matter of changing his surname was over. It is said that the clansmen who went to look for their own father later were kicked out by a few brooms.Fortunately, there were a few taels of silver left from the sale of the house, so I had to take my mother to the countryside to buy a few acres of Susukida to live on.

This material was both angry and quiet, knowing that it was all Sister Feng's tricks, and the two couples have been more obedient to Sister Feng since then.

One day, Sister Feng asked Caiming to read last year's general ledger, and it was always more in than out. Then he went to the upper room.

Mrs. Wang was talking with Jia Mu and said, "it's spring, so I said that I want to build a few craftsmen's land in the south. All the land in that area will be bought by the government at a serious price. The price is higher than the market price." Twice the senior year."

Just as Sister Feng came in, Mrs. Wang stopped talking. Sister Feng went up to greet Ann and asked, "Madam, are you talking about the blacksmith camp in the south?"

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "I'm confused. I just told the old lady that it's a craftsman's place, but I couldn't remember what it was for."

Sister Feng said: "I also just heard about it a few days ago. The blacksmith camp was first set up, and the carpenter's camp was set up first. Afterwards, there will be a 'technician's mansion'. It has not yet been decided where this will open."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "This sounds fresh, but who is in charge?" Sister Feng said, "Some say it belongs to the internal money, and some say it is the Lord Xin who is in charge of it. There is no difference between these two statements." Jia Mu said, "I don't know what to do with all those blacksmiths and carpenters? Could it be that they want to fight?"

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "Everything can be said. Some say it's a shipbuilder, some say it's a weapon maker, and some say it's an imitation of those Western objects. It's not sure."

After saying a few more words, Sister Feng said, "I turned over the account again today. Our income has been really low in the past few years, especially last year, with droughts, floods, snows, and rains throughout the year. Zhuangzi's harvest was only as usual. It’s not bad, I heard that Dongfu’s is worse than ours.”

Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu both nodded, and Sister Feng went on to say, "I've heard about these craftsmen's camps these days, and I wondered in my heart, should we set up more shops? The harvest of this shop is not afraid of rain. It’s windy, and it just supplements Zhuangzi’s harvest. Secondly, I think that with so many artisans gathered in the government, they must make something? If something is made, it may be sold on the market. Not to mention, There are a lot more foreign goods now than in previous years, and there must be a place to buy and sell. It is better to buy a shop now, and then rent it out to someone to earn a stable rent. "

Mrs. Jia nodded after hearing this, and did not say much. Mrs. Wang said: "How much do you buy for this shop, where do you buy it, do you run it yourself or rent it out to others? There must be a charter, and the most important one is that last year's income was not high. Okay, is there any extra money in the account that can be used for a shop?"

Sister Feng replied: "I have to discuss this detail with them outside. We don't go out, and we don't know about the outside affairs. If this matter is settled, there is still some left over for two seasons a year."

Mother Jia thought for a moment, then said, "Brother Feng's idea is also good. If you buy land, one is too far away to take care of it, and the other has been hit by natural disasters in the past two years. The shop can be placed in front of you, and it's easy to manage. In the evening, call the two masters and Lian'er to discuss together."

That night, there was another disturbance. It turned out that Jia She was drinking and having fun with a group of concubines in the house in the afternoon. In the evening, he was drunk and did not wake up. , then truthfully said.Jia's mother was not angry either. She just said that Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were invited to come over and discuss things with Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.

After dinner that day, several people discussed the matter of buying a shop. Jia Zheng didn't bother with these general affairs, he only cared about not getting too heavy with the word "Shang".Jia Lian really wanted to run a shop by himself, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't think highly of him. They only said that it would not be too late to discuss this matter when we saw more in the future, and now that there were so many chores in the mansion, how could he separate himself to take care of it? Two shops.In the end, they agreed to set aside 2 taels from the account to buy a store in the capital. As for where to buy the store, Jia Lian went to find a middleman, and then negotiated with the few people who believed him.

In addition, when Jia Amnesty woke up the next day, he did not dare to see Jia's mother. Fortunately, Jia's mother never sent someone to call her again, so she was very glad.A few days later, she heard Mrs. Xing talk about the purchase of a shop in the mansion, so she called Jia Lian to ask, and Jia Lian answered back and forth.

When Sister Feng saw that Jia She called Jia Lian to go, she knew that something was wrong, so she quietly sent someone to report to Jia Mu. Jia She was showing his strength to tie up people, and Jia Mu arrived in a car. Jia Mu stomped on the ground with her walking stick. , shouted: "It is my idea to buy more shops, you might as well come and beat me!"

After Jia Amnesty heard this, she quickly fell to her knees. Mother Jia said coldly, "I wanted to find a good son to discuss with, but unfortunately, I didn't have such a good life, so I had to drink with my little wife until I got drunk." Good night, son! Now that you are out of breath, you know that beating your son will cause you anger, and you can only sigh why your father didn’t kill you when he was alive, so you don’t have to worry about it now!”

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty couldn't stand it anymore, so he cried and confessed.Jia Mu went on to say, "Why do you have to act like this? How can I control you in your affairs? Lian'er is your son. If you want to kill him, you are free to do so. Even if I come, so what? Didn’t Kill Chain just want to call me? You can’t wait to kill me directly?!”

Jia Amnesty kowtowed, and Jia's mother stopped talking, and left the study with a mandarin duck's hand.Jia Amnesty's forehead was bruised and swollen, and the people around did not dare to dissuade him and did not know what to do.

Jia Lian hadn't been tied up yet. Seeing such a field, she had to kneel behind Jia She and said, "Master, the old lady has left." I gave him a slap on the ear, but he became dizzy and fell to the ground.Everyone was in a hurry again.

Mrs. Xing has been feeling awkward these few days because of the fact that the mansion has to negotiate important matters across the couple, and Jia Cong's proportion is even lower than that of Jia Huan. She angrily asked Sister Feng in the upper room, but it was the meaning of her superiors. Jia's mother even said in front of everyone: "Even a concubine, there are three or six or nine grades." She also remembered that day when she wanted to hug Jia Cong to support her, and now she knew the cause and effect of Bilian. Then he felt his face was hot, as if he had been slapped a few times.

Yingchun sat on the sidelines and watched her aunt like this, but had nothing to say.She is not a sharp-tongued person, and what Jia She and Mrs. Xing have done makes it difficult to plead for mercy. Seeing that Tanchun is the same concubine, but Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are really not comparable to her, and she becomes even more disheartened for a while.

After everyone dispersed, Tanchun went with Mrs. Wang, Youshi went to Xichun's place, and Yingchun took Siqi back to her room alone.I heard two women talking from a distance, but it was her nanny and Jia Cong's nanny, so I heard Jia Cong's nanny say: "Where would you expect it? It's even worse than Brother Huan. I begged my aunt My sister only got this job, and now I really regret it."

Grandma Yingchun said: "You are also a no-brainer, but there is nothing you can do. We are all destined. Look at my grandma. The wife doesn't love the old lady. She doesn't know how to squeak all day long. Others benefit from following girls and brothers, but we are the only one here, so it would be good if we don’t pay for it.”

Nanny Jia Cong said: "That's right, look at Nanny Li, with her power, even Second Mistress has to give some face. Our serious brothers and sisters here have never seen her take a second look."

Yingchun nurse said: "Don't talk about it, look at the nurse next to Lan Geer, oh, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave a hundred and ten taels of silver in my hand a year. That's because there is a mother with a rich family, and she got it again." The master and wife value it, even the old lady, remember to give a dish every three days or something. Here, hey, it doesn’t matter if there is such a person or not.”

Nanny Jia Cong said: "This can't be compared. It's from the first generation, the eldest son, the second grandson, and the second master Bao. These can't be compared."

Nanny Yingchun sneered and said, "What about the third girl? Those who don't know think it came out of the wife's stomach. It's true that good bamboo shoots come out of the bamboo shoots, and things will happen. The wife said her handwriting is good, so she helps the wife to copy every day. Buddhist scriptures, it’s okay to amuse and relieve boredom in front of the old lady, the wife is clumsy in front of the old lady, she can still turn a corner and say good things for the wife, can the wife not love her! We, alas, are just a piece of wood, I don’t worry about it, what good is it? I can't fall..."

Yingchun has long been used to listening to it, and walked forward calmly, but Siqi was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but Jia Cong's nanny was also related to her, so she said in a loud voice: "The girl is back!" Only then did she stop, and the nanny Jia Cong didn't come out to say hello to Yingchun, she just walked around behind the house and left.Yingchun's nanny was even more normal, Yingchun ignored her, Gu Zi went into the room to read a book, Siqi gave her a hard look, she just pretended not to see it.
