Xie Yi slapped Wu's hand away from him, saying that she was thinking too far, so what was wrong with her.

Wu said: "Our second mother will reach the age of Ji in the next year, and she will be married. Now it is just right to choose a husband and son-in-law for her. Is it possible that I really have to wait until I can find a good one? Isn't it a waste of time to delay her? Just now before the aunt left, she told me that she officials would judge people, so Xi Erlang must be the best in the future, and he is a good candidate for Erniang's husband-in-law."

Xie Yi said "oh", looked at Wu and asked, "Madam really said that?"

Wu said dissatisfied: "Is it possible that the slave family can still lie to you?"

Xie Yi pondered for a while before saying: "Since the elder son-in-law said Xi Erlang is good, then let's pay attention to this Xi Erlang, go to his house often, and then take a look."

Mrs. Wu pushed him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Yi shook his head and said that Mrs. Wu is really a stupid woman who doesn't even understand her own meaning. He said that although Xi Erlang looked handsome and hardworking, the Xi family moved to Yangliu Town from other places after all. He had no family and no job. , Not even a household registration in Yangliu Town.Even if they become naturalized in three years, based on the current situation of Xijia, they are still the lowest in the Fanghu.He also said that his second mother was good-looking, and no matter what, he should marry a man who is better than her elder sister's husband. Although Xie's family is a butcher, his daughter grew up without worrying about food and drink since she was a child. It would be too ridiculous for Erlang to marry him for saving his life.He didn't want to marry a woodcutter and fish seller with his daughter who was raised like Jiaohua, and he couldn't even eat meat a few times a year.

After listening to her husband's words, Wu gave him a thumbs up, praised him, saying that he was still insightful, she fully agreed with him, and could list Xijia Erlang as one of her second mother's candidate husbands, If this Xijia Erlang is promising in two years, it won't be too late to promise his second mother to him, but before that, let's start walking with Xijia.

Shunniang didn't know that she was missed by Xie Yi and his wife, and they wanted to choose her to be Xie's son-in-law. When she came out of Xie's house, she walked to the small courtyard where she lived and knocked on the door with a little bit of alcohol in a happy mood.

Soon the door was opened from the inside, and it was her sister-in-law Qi Shi who came out. As soon as Qi Shi saw her, she asked, "Uncle is drunk. If he is drunk, I will go and make some sober soup for uncle."

Shun Niang said that she was not drunk, and when she saw the lights in the main room, she asked, "Isn't Mom still asleep?"

Qi's family: "I didn't sleep, my family and mother are waiting for you to come back."

After closing the courtyard door, she came to pick up the fish basket in Shunniang's hand and the firewood stick she was carrying. After receiving them, she asked Shunniang what was in the fish basket and why it was so heavy. Could it be that she hadn't sold it? fish bar.

Shunniang slapped her forehead and said, "I almost forgot, these are some pork bones, you take them to wash and cook the soup, otherwise it will taste good in the morning."

"Pork bone? This..."

"I'll tell my sister-in-law what's going on in a while. You can clean it up and make soup first."

Mrs. Qi nodded and said yes, she will go to boil Shunniang's bath water first, and then make soup.

Shunniang went into the main room and saw her mother holding Huier in her arms, and Kecheng was sitting on a small stool beside her playing with the puppets Shunniang had cut for her. She picked up the puppet, ran over and hugged her leg, and called out to her second uncle affectionately. Shunniang bent down and picked him up, and asked him if he listened to his mother at home today, and could he help his mother with work and so on.

But Cheng said that he had listened to his mother and helped her with her work, so Shun Niang kissed him on the cheek and praised him for doing the right thing.

"Da Lang, you go down and play by yourself, your second uncle is tired all day, let him sit down and drink tea for a rest." Liu Shi coaxed Ke Cheng.

But Chengcheng slipped obediently from Shunniang's arms, and sat on his small bench, playing with puppets and fighting.

Here, Shun Niang sat down on the bench next to her mother, poured a bowl of herbal tea and drank it, and Mrs. Liu asked her: "Today, the little lady from Xie's family said that you are having dinner at Xie's house. Why is Xie's family?" Want to treat you to dinner?"

Shunniang asked: "So Erniang Xie didn't tell you why?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head: "No, she came here in a hurry, and only said that you asked her to take a message, saying that she would have dinner at Xie's house tonight and would not come back. She didn't even explain who she was, so she ran away in a hurry. Panicked, it's like burning the back of your feet..."

Shunniang laughed softly, and then told Mrs. Liu the reason why the Xie family invited her to dinner. She also said that she agreed to Lu Zhan to go to Xie's house for dinner because she felt that Xi's family had just come to Yangliu Town, so they really should get to know each other better. The two families are the ones, and even though Lu Zhan is a scholar and has no fame, he is still a scholar. If he can really get a Jinshi in the future and become an official, then getting to know him will be of great benefit to the Xi family.In addition, Xie's family is a high-class household in Yangliu Town, and they are also enthusiastic about people. Dealing with Xie's family is also good for Xie's family.

Mrs. Liu: "It turns out that the person who came to our house today to deliver a message is the little lady you rescued yesterday without a tutor. It's really your mother's story. She's really the daughter of the butcher's family. Look at her hurrying today. Running here, I didn't even say who I was... See, her family knows that you saved her and entertained you with good wine and meat, so I won't talk about her. It's just, I think you want to go far Well, our family will move back to Xijiazhuang next year, and we won’t be able to deal with Xie’s and Lu’s for long.”

Shunniang held back, but couldn't hold back, and asked Liu Shi tentatively: "Mother, if we can earn several times more money here than we are now, would you still want to go back?"

Liu bluffed: "How many times the money? You mean three to five per month?"

Shun Niang nodded and said: "Maybe, there are more than three or five."

She said this on purpose to want her mother to fall in love with her. In fact, she didn't have a clue about what kind of business could make a profit of three or five times a month.

Mrs. Liu was really tempted when she heard this, and grabbed Shunniang's hand that was resting on the table and asked, "What is a good deal, you can tell Weiniang."

As soon as Shunniang had an idea, she told Mrs. Liu that she had made friends with the proprietress of the Songjia Zhengdian in the city. For capital, she is willing to guide Shun Niang to do business to earn more money.

"Song's main store? Sister Song Yu?" It was the first time Liu Shi heard Shunniang mention this person. Previously, Shunniang only mentioned this person to her sister-in-law, but she didn't say anything else, and Qi Shi didn't ask much.

Shunniang boasted about the size of the Songjiazheng store and Sister Song Yu's personality, and told Mrs. Liu that this elder brother of Sister Song Yu was a housekeeper in the house of Minister Cao of the Ministry of Industry and was extremely powerful.

"Cao Shilang? How old is that official?" Mrs. Liu became more interested, and asked Shunniang by the sleeve.

It's no wonder that when Mrs. Liu heard that Sister Song Yu's family was related to the official family of the dynasty, she followed up and asked. In fact, the gap between the officials and the people in this era is not too much.Once a Confucian scholar is admitted as a Jinshi and becomes an official, not only his own salary is generous, but the members of his family will also ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs, and can enjoy various preferential treatment from the government, such as exemption from military service, and the land rent paid by official households will also be reduced, let alone those of high rank. official.

And Cao Shilang is a senior official of the second rank. Compared with the era before Shun Niang wore it, he also belongs to the level of minister and governor.

Ordinary people in this era can't even see a seventh-rank sesame official in a year, or even a few years, let alone a second-rank official of the imperial court.

Therefore, when Shunniang told Cao Shilang that he was a member of the second rank, she opened her mouth wide in shock, and couldn't utter a word for a long time. After a while, she stroked her chest and said, "My mother!" Hey, what a great official!"

At the beginning, Shunniang said that staying in Yangliu Town could earn three or five more money per month, but Mrs. Liu still didn't quite believe it. After hearing that Song Yujie, who was willing to help Shunniang, was behind Cao Shilang, she now fully believed it. Shun Niang's words.

Holding Shunniang's hand tightly, Mrs. Liu asked Shunniang to hug Sister Song Yu's thigh, make a fortune in Bianliang, honor her ancestors, go back to Xijiazhuang to buy [-] to [-] acres of land, and then build a big house. The folks in Xijiazhuang are envious.

After listening to her mother's words, Shun Niang really wanted to be like her mother and blurted out "My mother", why can't her cheap mother never forget and go back to Xijiazhuang?Even if you make a fortune in the city, don't forget to go back?

It seemed that when she really got rich, she would have to buy a house in the city, so as to stop her mother from returning to Xijiazhuang.

Anyway, her mother let go, changed her mind, and agreed to stay and let Shun Niang do business to make a fortune, and her initial goal was achieved.

Therefore, Shunniang was in such a good mood that when her sister-in-law Qi came in, she saw her smiling like that, and asked her what was the matter.Before Shunniang could talk to her, the Qi family had already made Shunniang acquainted with a female owner of a large hotel in Bianliang City. The key is that the female boss wanted to help Shunniang, and told Qi Shi about instructing Shunniang to do business.

Mrs. Liu also said that with the guidance of a boss like Song Yujie, Shunniang will definitely be able to make a fortune. This is something that she never expected. It seems that Xi's family is going in the right direction when they come to Yangliu Town. She will go to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense another day , thank the Buddha for blessing Shunniang to make friends with noble people, and she is about to prosper...

Seeing her mother-in-law beaming, talking excitedly, even spitting stars from her mouth, and Shunniang's smiling face under the lamp, Mrs. Liu only had a little joy, but more of an inexplicable worry. Mother related.

The woman's intuition made Qi feel that Sister Song Yu was probably not just helping, but that she should have some other purpose hidden.

Shunniang dressed up as a man with a handsome appearance, so it's hard to guarantee that Sister Song Yu has taken a fancy to her?

No, I have to ask Shunniang privately for a while, what kind of person is that Song Yujie, and I have to remind Shunniang not to follow Song Yujie's way, after all, Shunniang is not a real man, if something really happens, Shunniang She will definitely suffer a big loss. As Shunniang's sister-in-law, she can't just watch her jump into the fire pit.
