Planning to marry the third master

Early in the morning, Feng Zhuohua sent Shuangxi to Feng Mansion to have a look.

Seeing that there was indeed a reply, Shuangxi hurriedly took it back and gave it to Feng Zhuohua. Feng Zhuohua took a look and left the house again without saying hello. As a result, Xie Xinxian and Xie Xinshou came to find no one.

Feng Zhuohua went home to find his father, and there happened to be guests at home. His uncle's family, Luo Linxi's father, were all talking in the sun in the yard.

Luo Mingde hadn't seen Feng Zhuohua for a long time. When he saw Feng Zhuohua getting off the carriage, his first words were, "Hey, Xie Mansion is really good at raising people. Zhuohua is getting more and more beautiful."

Feng Zhuohua entered the courtyard and said, "Uncle, aunt, father, mother."

Aunt Huang Jing saw Feng Zhuohua and asked, "Is Lin Xi very busy? Why doesn't she go home even during the year?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "It's not that she's very busy, but Xin Hui wants to play with her every day. My aunt also likes her, so she doesn't have as much time as me."

Huang Jing complained a little: "Then I have to go home. It would be unseemly not to go back even once."

It was difficult for Feng Zhuohua to answer this. There was always a reason why he didn't reply. He stepped forward and said, "Dad, uncle is here. There is good wine at home. I don't accompany dad to buy it."

Luo Mingjudao: "Whatever I want you to buy, my mother-in-law will buy it."

Feng Zhuohua said: "It's rare for me to come back, so naturally I want to buy a good wine for my father. What did you do to offend my filial piety, mother?" Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Luo Mingru said with a smile: "Go, go, you will know your father."

Feng Jinzhao felt extremely comfortable and said, "Let's go buy wine."

Luo Mingde also stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Feng Zhuohua: "..." It's hard to find a place to talk secretly.

We walked to the main street together. Feng Jinzhao didn't have time to talk, so he asked Luo Mingde to ask questions.

Luo Mingde asked: "Is it comfortable to stay in the Xie Mansion?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "It's pretty good."

"Uncle, you do look good like this. How does your aunt treat you on weekdays?"

"Good."

"How much money do you give per month?"

Feng Zhuohua didn't know why his uncle asked this question, and it was not easy to think of Lin Xi, so he said: "Uncle, the Xie family gives three taels a month. It's not enough to go out with Xin Hui on weekdays. It would be better if you don't follow." It can save some money, but Lin Xide and Xin Hui like it. They have to live a busy life. If I don't like to go out, Xin Hui won't like it. I usually like to read and buy books. For a frugal person like me, a year It can save a couple of silver."

Luo Mingde said: "What's the point of saving one tael? It won't be enough for you to buy wine for your father in a while."

"Who says it's not the case? I can't afford good wine, and my father also knows that."

Walking out of the alley, you will reach the main street.

After listening to what his uncle and nephew were talking about, Feng Jinzhao actually picked out a tael of wine.

You can't show your wealth in front of this brother-in-law. The family is not rich to begin with, and Luo Mingru has a soft ear. Money was borrowed in just a few words and has never been repaid.

One tael of silver is considered good wine for a poor family. After buying two jars of wine, several people were talking in the courtyard again. It was a bit difficult to talk to Feng Jinzhao today.

Feng Zhuohua went to find Feng Zhuoming. Feng Zhuoming had his own small study room. She had never read the homework of this younger brother. Today, when she saw his words and articles, she could see the character of a scholar for the first time. She felt that she would be supported by her younger brother in the future. also.

She said to Feng Zhuoming: "Brother, are you like this in the academy?" She gave a thumbs up, are you the best?

Feng Zhuo said clearly: "Of course, if I don't learn well, my father will not be laughed at for teaching."

"You are quite sensible."

"That's not as good as my sister."

"You find an excuse to find your father. I'll have a few words with him."

Feng Zhuoming went to do it immediately.

Not long after, Feng Jinzhao came back. When he entered the room, he asked, "Daughter, do you have a letter?"

Feng Zhuohua took out the reply and showed it to Feng Jinzhao: "Dad, take a look."

After seeing the post, Feng Jinzhao's heart trembled again and said: "On the eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar month, isn't this the day after tomorrow?"

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said: "On the eighth day of the lunar month, my uncle is also here."

"When will your uncle return to Bianjing?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "It should be on the ninth day of the lunar month."

"That's fine too."

"I will prepare the New Year's gifts and put them in the carriage. Daddy will be waiting for Sheriff Shan at the gate of Xie's Mansion."

"Okay, dad will listen to you."

"How can I give dad a [-]-yuan banknote?"

"It's definitely not okay to leave it at home. If your mother sees it, dad can't explain it."

"Okay, then ask Shuangxi to come out of the house to daddy."

Feng Zhuo Ming said: "Dad, I'm going too."

Feng Jinzhao said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"

Feng Zhuohua said: "Dad, you and your brother will not have many opportunities to see anything in your life. It is always good to go out and see more."

As he said this, Luo Mingrou came into the room and said, "What book can't you read? Why are you so diligent during the Chinese New Year?"

Feng Jinzhao hurriedly stuffed the post into his clothes, but fortunately his back was to the door.

Feng Zhuohua said: "Mom, my brother's homework is good. I think I can rely on him to support me in the future."

Luo Mingru was amused and said: "There are so many scholars, but I don't see them all going to the fields to farm. It depends on whether there are opportunities for him to do well in his studies."

Oops, her mother understood this clearly and said, "Okay, let's wait until my brother grows up."

After saying that, he stood up and followed Luo Minrou out of the study.

In the afternoon, Feng Zhuohua went to Long Street to buy New Year's gifts. My father couldn't be too shabby when he went to Xie's Mansion tomorrow, so he bought Maozi wine, and then sold some abalone and bird's nests. The money spent can amount to hundreds of taels, and I couldn't help but sigh to myself that my rich relatives couldn't afford it.

Just think about it for the last time.

Long Street closed early in the year. When Feng Zhuohua turned around, a shopkeeper who knew her stopped her.

"Miss, ma'am."

I saw a shopkeeper running over.

I know Feng Zhuohua as a shopkeeper who sells mechanical items. Ask: "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper said: "Girl, why don't you come to our store to see if you want to buy something? We have a lot of things to clear out and sell them cheaply."

How cheap is it to sell cheaply? A few hundred taels is not worth a few taels.

Then the shopkeeper said: "Come here, just take a look, no money required."

After a few words, Feng Zhuohua was called into the room.

The shopkeeper said: "Take a look and see if there's anything you like. Girl, I'm a regular customer. If you like it, I'll definitely give you a discount."

Feng Zhuohua looked around and saw that there were still these things, nothing new, and said: "There is nothing I want."

The shopkeeper looked at it and said, "Come and see. The knife you saw last time has a hidden buckle and can be used for self-protection. It is very good."

Feng Zhuohua asked: "How cheap is it?"

"50 taels," the shopkeeper said.

Feng Zhuohua shook his head and said, "I'll go to another house to see if the knife can be used for self-defense."

The shopkeeper said: "Can you tell me a price?"

"..." There is also this operation.

Feng Zhuohua said: "Five taels." He said it casually without any intention.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper's face turned dark.

I thought I would refuse, but I heard the shopkeeper say: "Just give me five taels."

"..." Did you make a loss before?

The shopkeeper said: "Since the last time the lady came here, our shop has not been open. This knife will be a loss for the girl as a bonus."

Five taels of happiness happily paid for it, but she also thought it was expensive if it was 50 taels.

The shopkeeper gave me a leather scabbard, which can be tied to your leg for self-defense.

Feng Zhuohua wanted to return the favor to Xie Yunxiao.
