Chun'er used harsh words to show her determination, making Shuwan think that she was a gangster boss in a trance.
Everyone has made a choice, now it's up to Xia Er to choose.
Seeing the decisions made by several colleagues, Xia Er felt a little stressed.
They all chose to stay with Fujin. If they insisted on leaving, they would appear to be very heartless.
Xia'er hesitated for a moment and said: "The servant is also willing to stay with Fujin..."
Shuwan raised her hand to interrupt her, "I've said it before, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it. Everyone's situation is different, and they have different ideas. If you have concerns, just say it."
Xia'er frowned with a sad face, "Fu Jin and everyone are not outsiders. If I have something to say, I will speak up. I still think of my age and return home. My parents are still alive, and I have a brother who likes to gamble. My brother is like a The bottomless pit, the parents are getting older, and they have to make up for the shortfall left by the elder brother. The slaves want to go home to take care of their parents, and they cannot be left alone."
Nanny Ning nodded, she admired Xia'er's filial piety.
She couldn't help pleading for Xia'er, "Fu Jin, Xia'er can't help it, why don't you fulfill her filial piety."
Shuwan nodded, she would let Xia'er go without Nanny Ning telling her.It's just that Xia'er is poor, she has a brother who likes to gamble, and life is also sad when she returns home.
When Xia'er returns home, the first thing her parents will do is to find her a husband's family and let her get married as soon as possible. The old girl in her 20s can't afford to wait.
After getting married, it is also difficult for Xia'er to support her parents.
Her in-law's family would definitely not let Xia'er take her parents into their home to be taken care of. Even if her in-law's family agreed, Xia'er's biological parents would definitely not be willing.
The ideology at this time and place is to raise children to guard against old age, no matter how filial Xia'er is, she will be a girl after all.No matter how unfilial Xia'er's brother is, her parents are willing to live with their son.
Shuwan asked Xia'er to sit on the other side, "Sit there and wait, and we'll talk about your whereabouts later."
Shuwan said to Nanny Ning: "In a few years, Mammy will go out to enjoy the blessings. In the next few days, I will ask Madam to help me with the housework. By the way, I will bring Qiuxiang and Bingxiang out so that they can learn how to do it too." Do stewardship."
Nanny Ning got up quickly, with a smile on her face like a flower.
"Don't worry, Fujin, this slave will definitely impart all his abilities to you."
Shuwan said to Qiuxiang and Bingxiang: "The two of you choose two capable girls from the yard to replace you. When the girls are trained, you can study hard with Ning Madam."
Qiuxiang and Bingxiang quickly got up and agreed, and they both saluted Nanny Ning, called her Master, and offered tea to her.
Nanny Ning waved her hands again and again, "I can't help it, I just lead you around, how did you become a master?"
Qiu Xiang smiled and said, "Those who are masters come first! We also know the rules. No matter what you teach, there must be this apprenticeship ceremony."
Bingxiang also smiled and said: "You must be a teacher, if you don't, what should you do if you hide your tricks from us?"
Nanny Ning was so entangled by the two of them that she couldn't laugh or cry, and Shuwan said: "Grandma, just accept them! After you accept apprentices, you can use them as you like in the future."
Nanny Ning pretended to decline, she had no children, and it would be good to have two apprentices to visit her often in the future.
Chun'er made tea, and Nanny Ning and Qiuxiang Bingxiang recognized their master and apprentice on the spot.
Shuwan smiled and said, "I'll take some money out of my wallet later, and I'll serve you a drink to celebrate."
Ning Momo covered her face and said: "Don't dare to covet Fujin's money, since it's a slave who recognizes his apprentice, it's natural that the slave will pay for it."
Shuwan smiled and said: "I'm just being polite, since you took the initiative to pay, then I don't care! I'll go and ask for a drink later!"
Nanny Ning hurriedly said: "Fu Jin is willing to show his face, that is the glory of a slave. Let alone a glass of wine, even if you want to drink the nectar from the sky, this slave will find a way to get it for you."
After lively and enthusiastically recognizing the master and apprentice, Shuwan mentioned her assignment to Chun'er and Xia'er.
"Chun'er still stays by my side to serve you. You are dexterous and much better at dressing up than others. If I ask you to do other things, I won't be able to comb my hair well."
Chun'er is skillful at serving people, and besides, she is old and has a strong mouth, so she can suppress the maids and eunuchs below.She looks smart, but she doesn't really have any scheming, if she is asked to take care of things, I'm afraid she will be fooled, so keeping her by Shuwan's side is the best choice.
Chun'er also likes to stay by Shuwan's side. She has already stayed in the main courtyard and doesn't want to make too many changes in her life.Besides, Qiuxiang Bingxiang and Xia'er are going to do other things, isn't she the most valued person by Fujin!
Chun'er happily thanked him, "Thank you Fujin for your kindness, this slave will serve the master with all my heart."
After arranging Chun'er, Shuwan asked everyone to go out, and she had a good talk with Xia'er.
"I just found out about your family's situation. I never heard you say it before."
Xia'er lowered her head and sighed, "I dare not speak, for fear of dirtying Fujin's ears."
Xia'er knew in her heart that the family affairs were not something to be honored, and there was no use for speaking of them except to get a few tears of sympathy.Fujin only knew how many people there were in her family and what they did. She didn't know the specifics unless she inquired carefully, so why did she say so in detail.
Shuwan said: "Don't think I'm being blunt. You may not have a good life when you go back. You want to take care of your parents, but your parents may not want you to take care of them."
"The slaves that Fujin is talking about understand. Take every step and count! I have been practicing in the palace mansion for these years, and I am no longer the ignorant little girl I used to be."
Xia'er's face was calm, but she couldn't hide her sharpness in her words, like a sword that hadn't been sharpened.
Shuwan nodded, and she sighed, "I won't stop you if you want to leave, but I just don't want to part with you."
Xia'er had tears in her eyes, she sniffed and wiped away the tears with her sleeve, "I can't bear you either."
"Since you can't bear it, then continue to do things for me!"
"what?"
Xia'er's eyes widened, and she forgot to cry for a moment.
Shuwan smiled, "The business of the Rouge shop is getting better and better. I'm thinking about opening another branch in a few years, and you will be the manager of the branch."
"Be a store manager?" Xia'er waved her hands again and again, "I...I can't do it, I've only served people before, and I've never been a store manager!"
Shuwan scolded: "It's worthless! Just now I said that I was trained in Baylor's mansion in the palace. Now you are asked to manage a shop, and you shrink back? If not, you will learn until you learn it. "
Xia'er's heart was pounding, and hot blood rushed to the top of her head, making her a little dizzy.
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in the back house, she didn't want to marry early, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in quarrels and compromises with her in-laws, natal brothers.
Xia'er nodded vigorously, "This servant will definitely work hard! If he becomes the store manager, he will never disappoint Fujin's expectations!"
Then Xia'er thought of another question, "Fujin, this slave follows you every step of the way, I have never seen you discuss with Wu Fujin about opening a branch!"
Shuwan: "Well, I haven't discussed it. This is an idea that just came to my mind."
Xia Er: "..." So this is a big cake that Fujin drew for me?
Shuwan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be branches. You have to learn how to do business in the past two years, right? In a few days, I will tell Wu Fujin about opening a branch. Don't worry, this is not to fool you. "
Xia'er thanked Fujin for her kindness with a dry smile, the more she heard it, the more she sounded like a big cake.
"Yo, Xie En looks very reluctant!" Shuwan knocked on the table, "You should figure out who I want to open a branch for. I advise you not to be ignorant!"
Xia'er hurriedly coaxed her, "I don't mean to be perfunctory, I would like to thank Fujin for being perfect, so that I can not only fulfill my master-servant relationship with you, but also my filial piety."
Shuwan smiled and said, "That's about the same!"
After arranging her four court ladies, Shuwan's main courtyard also underwent some changes.
First of all, the servants have changed. Xia'er Qiuxiang and Bingxiang have chosen someone to replace them, and the three of them with seniority started to lead the newcomers.
Secondly, the stewards in the mansion were more cautious and attentive, for fear that they would be caught in the wrong place by Fujin and let Xia'er and others replace themselves!
New Year's Eve is the busiest time of the year, and Shuwan not only has to arrange house sweeping, offering sacrifices to the stove, etc., but also has to worry about things in the shop.
Now when Shuwan goes to check the accounts in the shop, or discusses things with Wu Fujin, she always takes Xia'er with her, and asks her to follow suit first.If a branch is really opened in the future, there will be a shopkeeper who will personally take her for a period of time.
When the New Year's Eve is approaching, there is another very important event, and that is Xiaobao's Zhouzhou Banquet.
This child happened to be born in his thirties.
The fourth elder brother sent invitations, and Shuwan prepared wine for the show, but there were not many guests who came to the banquet, and most of them left in a hurry after watching Zhuo Zhou.
There are still many things to do on New Year's Eve, how can I spend time here all the time?
The fourth elder brother was a little disappointed when he saw that Xiaobao's catch-up banquet was so deserted.
Xiaobao grabbed a small wooden knife and gnawed it in his mouth, not understanding his Ama's sorrow at all.
"Oh, Xiaobao has been wronged." The fourth elder brother sighed, "When Kang Bao caught Zhou Zhou, it was much more lively than now."
Shuwan couldn't understand the sentimentality of the fourth elder brother, "This is already very good. Those who can come have come, and those who can't come, and the gifts have not been left behind. If you want to blame it, you can blame your son for not being up to date. Everyone was busy when he was born. At that time, if it was one day earlier, it would be stronger than now.
Oh, by the way, some years he can't celebrate his birthday!Because some years are only 29, there is no New Year's Eve! "
The fourth elder brother gave Shuwan a white look, thinking that she sometimes acts like a rough man and doesn't understand her husband's feelings at all.
Of course... sometimes it is quite gentle, only limited to the bed.
This year's New Year's Eve, the fourth elder brother did not enter the palace to pay his respects.
The emperor was still very considerate, he exempted the fourth elder brother from entering the palace, and let him manage the child's first birthday at home, after all, the first birthday is only once in a lifetime, so we must be cautious.
It can be seen from this that the emperor and the fourth elder brother have the same idea, only Shuwan is a rough guy with no sense of ceremony.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Wu Gege Song Gege, Kang Bao Xiaobao and a little Gege were all there.
Song Gege often brings Xiao Gege to greet Shuwan, and Xiao Gege is no stranger to Shuwan.She also held a glass of honey water and said auspicious words to Shuwan and Si Age.
The auspicious words should be taught by Song Gege, Xiao Gege is articulate and speaks well.
It's just that when she said auspicious words, she kept looking at Shuwan, as if the fourth elder brother was a superfluous person who talked about auspicious words, which made the fourth elder brother a little depressed.
Shuwan smiled and patted Little Gege on the head, and rewarded her with two gold collars.
"Little Gege is so good, this is a reward from Erniang, you take it!"
At this time, Little Gege looked at the fourth elder brother timidly, waiting for the fourth elder brother to give him a gift.
The fourth elder brother's face froze for a moment, and his expression became even colder.
Su Peisheng was a little flustered, Shuwan guessed it at a glance, the fourth elder brother probably didn't prepare the New Year's money, he probably didn't expect that Little Gege would separate him from Shuwan and wanted two gifts.
Shuwan hurriedly asked Chun'er to bring her purse.
"Come on, this is the new year's money that your Ama gave to Little Gege, and it has been kept here with Erniang. You can play with these two purses!"
Kang Bao asked, "Emiang, where's my lucky money?"
Shuwan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has it."
Chun'er gave Kang Bao and Xiao Bao two purses each, which contained brand new copper coins and gold and silver locks.
Kang Bao opened the purse and counted, then sighed heavily.
"Oh, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still a piece of meat!"
Shuwan: "..."
She suddenly laughed and said, "Kangbao! You are too young to know how to spend money and manage money. Give the New Year's money to Er Niang! Er Niang will save it for you and give it to you when you grow up."
After speaking, Shuwan forcefully tore the purse out of Kang Bao's little hand.
Kang Bao: "..."
The fourth elder brother took a handkerchief and lowered his head to wipe his mouth, holding back a smile and enduring it very hard.
Shuwan greeted everyone to eat food, Kang Bao took advantage of Shuwan's inattention and snatched the pouch from his younger brother.
"My brother, you are younger than me, you don't know how to spend money, my brother will save it for you, and I will return it to you when you grow up!"
Xiaobao was not interested in money, and let Kangbao snatch it away. He concentrated on chewing on his hands and drooling, wanting to eat the food on the table.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the fourth elder brother drove Song Gege and others away as usual, and lived with Shuwan in the two-person world.
Shuwan sent a big red envelope to everyone who served the fourth elder brother. Su Peisheng held the red envelope and wondered whether he should accept it or not.
In the past, during the New Year, the public would give money to Su Peisheng and others, but this time it was given by Fujin in his own name, and Su Peisheng wondered if he could accept it.
Shuwan smiled and said: "I opened a makeup shop this year. Although I haven't paid back my money, I made a lot of money a year ago. The servants in the main courtyard are all rewarded. You have worked hard to serve Lord Baylor. This is for your hard work." Money also makes you feel rich."
Shuwan let them get rich, how could Su Peisheng have no reason not to accept it?
He hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you Fujin for the reward, I will definitely take care of Lord Baylor with all my heart in the future."
Shuwan smiled and said: "Okay, you all go down!"
The fourth elder brother drank a few glasses of wine, and now his body is hot, his head is a little dizzy, and he feels a little ecstatic.
He said with a smile: "Si Fujin is rich now, and his skills are extraordinary!"
Shuwan sighed: "Oh, I only dare to tell you some things, I really have no money!"
After the shop has made money, it has to invest in the next wave of production, hoard raw materials, spend money to hire people, and do publicity. Which one does not cost money?Originally, they only wanted to start a small business, but it turned out that the two prodigal daughters-in-law made it bigger and bigger.
The fourth elder brother laughed at her, "How dare you give out silver rewards when you have no money?"
"It's New Year's Eve, and everyone knows that I've made a lot of money. How can I search for it? Isn't that a joke?" Shuwan pursed her lips and sighed, "Some things can be saved, but some things can't be saved!"
Shuwan thought: Fujin's identity is also a burden!The burden of being an idol is too heavy!Although being a Fujin is fun, it hurts money.
The fourth elder brother stood up with a smile, and he took out a box from the bedside cabinet.
"I've kept this box next to my bed for a month, and you don't know how to open it."
Shuwan and the fourth elder brother's things are kept separately, and Shuwan hardly touches the fourth elder brother's personal belongings.She has always felt that there should be some distance between the husband and wife, and it seems that it is not good to look through the personal belongings of the fourth elder brother.
Shuwan knew that the fourth elder brother would be upset if she answered this way, and he would think that Shuwan deliberately distanced herself from him.
Shuwan said blankly: "How did I know you put the box?"
The fourth elder brother stuffed the box into Shuwan's hands, "This is a New Year's gift for you."
Shuwan opened the box, and a stack of bank notes came into view.
Shuwan slammed the box shut, "I seem to... see a golden light! It almost caught my eyes!"
The fourth elder brother opened the box, took out a few bank notes and shook them back and forth in front of Shuwan's eyes.
"It's not your illusion, it really has a golden light."
Shuwan snatched the silver ticket excitedly, "What is this! This is silver! Why did you think of giving me silver?"
Why send money?Of course, she was afraid that Shuwan would go bankrupt!
The fourth elder brother said: "How much dowry do you have, can I not know? You are throwing money out like a boy who spreads money. I guess you are almost out of money. Although the food and lodging are all in the public, you will always be useful." The dowry place. Not to mention anything else, your rouge shop has to keep pouring money into it, right?"
Shuwan was very excited when she saw the silver bills, she poured them out and counted them, the total was 5000 taels of silver bills, which was enough for her to squander for a while.
As the saying goes, it is better to pay a huge sum of money than asking for warmth.Shuwan finally felt the charm of huge sums of money.
Although it is winter, why is she so warm?
ah!Money must have warmed her up!
Shuwan flung herself into Si Age's arms and rolled around coquettishly, dangling by his collar.
"Whoa, why are you so nice? You are simply the most perfect man in the world!"
The fourth elder brother was pulled back and forth by her, he held Shuwan's hand and told her to let go of her quickly, "If you strangle me any further, you will strangle me out of breath."
Shuwan quickly let go of her hand and rubbed his neck.
"I'm sorry, my God of Wealth, let me see if it's strangled."
The fourth elder brother hugged Shuwan's waist and slid up and down, "I gave such a good gift, how can you thank me?"
Shuwan winked at him, "Death, of course I'm giving you a kiss!"
Shuwan grabbed the fourth elder brother's collar and kissed her, and the fourth elder brother was very dissatisfied.
"Send me with a kiss?"
Shuwan thumped him, "It's good to kiss you, don't bother me next, I'm going to start counting the money!"
Fourth elder brother: "Didn't you count it?"
"Money is not afraid of counting. The more I count, the happier I am!"
The fourth elder brother snatched the money box and threw it at the end of the bed, holding Shuwan down on top of her.
Sven, he rarely swears, "How many farts! Let's watch the new year in bed!"
Because of keeping the old age so well, Shuwan woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes, and she had to put on more powder to cover them up.
When they arrived at the palace, the fourth elder brother took Kang Bao to the front, and Shuwan went to the back to greet Concubine De.
Going home at night, the fourth elder brother told Shuwan the good news that the emperor gave Kang Bao a name.
"What's Kang Bao's name?" Shuwan asked impatiently.
"Honghui!" The fourth elder brother was very satisfied with the name, "It's a good name."
Shuwan silently said it several times in her heart, "Well, this name is not bad. Does the emperor like our family Honghui very much? Otherwise, why did he suddenly give it a name during the Chinese New Year?"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said with a smile: "The children of the eldest brother, the third brother and the fifth younger brother were also named together. Kang Bao is not outstanding."
Shuwan nodded sullenly, "I thought Kang Bao was special!"
The fourth elder brother laughed at her for thinking too much, and she also had such expectations in her heart.
Who doesn't want their children to make a good impression in front of the emperor?In the future, Kang Bao will be crowned heir son, the emperor will like him a little more, maybe he will have a better future!
The fourth elder brother said again: "There are two happy events when we enter the door. The old nine and the ten are getting married."
Shuwan nodded, "I know about this! All the women in the harem are talking about this! They are going to marry their daughter-in-law, and Concubine Yi is in a good mood. It seems that she is very satisfied with her new daughter-in-law."
"It should be during the draft. Concubine Yi met her. Not to mention the marriage, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi's house has already been drawn. Lao Jiu is behind Lao Ba's mansion, not too far from us."
Shuwan: "Huh? He is also near our house?"
"It's like this. When the weather gets warmer, it's almost time to start building the mansion."
Shuwan looked at the fourth elder brother sympathetically, what kind of fate is this man!The mansion is surrounded by his future rivals, you are surrounded by the old and the old!
Shuwan asked: "How is Brother Jiu?"
She thought that the fourth elder brother would say a lot of belittling words, but she did not expect that the fourth elder brother had a very fair evaluation of him.
"Study is quite clever, better than the old ten. He is also loyal and filial enough. It's just that his mind is not in the right place, and he likes foreigners."
Shuwan: "Oh, that's it!"
The fourth elder brother said to Shuwan: "Lao Jiu is a good friend. In the future, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu will move out. If you don't like to socialize with Ba Fujin, you can often walk around with Lao Jiu's wife so that your life will not be boring."
Shuwan waved her hands again and again, "Let's forget it! The eighth brother and the ninth brother are close, the eighth brother and the ninth brother are the same, so I'm going to join in the fun. Besides, I'm busy every day, you Forget, I still have to fight in the mall!"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the golden toilet?"
At this moment, Kang Bao, who shrank aside, raised his hand and said, "Emiang, I want a golden toilet too!"
Shuwan patted him, "What kind of golden toilet do you want at such a young age!"
Kang Bao said loudly: "The golden toilet is rich! We are a wealthy family. If Ama can use the golden toilet, so can I!"
Shuwan uttered the famous saying of her mother under the sun, "I think you are like a golden toilet!"
Everyone has made a choice, now it's up to Xia Er to choose.
Seeing the decisions made by several colleagues, Xia Er felt a little stressed.
They all chose to stay with Fujin. If they insisted on leaving, they would appear to be very heartless.
Xia'er hesitated for a moment and said: "The servant is also willing to stay with Fujin..."
Shuwan raised her hand to interrupt her, "I've said it before, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it. Everyone's situation is different, and they have different ideas. If you have concerns, just say it."
Xia'er frowned with a sad face, "Fu Jin and everyone are not outsiders. If I have something to say, I will speak up. I still think of my age and return home. My parents are still alive, and I have a brother who likes to gamble. My brother is like a The bottomless pit, the parents are getting older, and they have to make up for the shortfall left by the elder brother. The slaves want to go home to take care of their parents, and they cannot be left alone."
Nanny Ning nodded, she admired Xia'er's filial piety.
She couldn't help pleading for Xia'er, "Fu Jin, Xia'er can't help it, why don't you fulfill her filial piety."
Shuwan nodded, she would let Xia'er go without Nanny Ning telling her.It's just that Xia'er is poor, she has a brother who likes to gamble, and life is also sad when she returns home.

After lively and enthusiastically recognizing the master and apprentice, Shuwan mentioned her assignment to Chun'er and Xia'er.

Xia'er's face was calm, but she couldn't hide her sharpness in her words, like a sword that hadn't been sharpened.
Shuwan nodded, and she sighed, "I won't stop you if you want to leave, but I just don't want to part with you."
Xia'er had tears in her eyes, she sniffed and wiped away the tears with her sleeve, "I can't bear you either."
"Since you can't bear it, then continue to do things for me!"
"what?"
Xia'er's eyes widened, and she forgot to cry for a moment.
Shuwan smiled, "The business of the Rouge shop is getting better and better. I'm thinking about opening another branch in a few years, and you will be the manager of the branch."
"Be a store manager?" Xia'er waved her hands again and again, "I...I can't do it, I've only served people before, and I've never been a store manager!"
Shuwan scolded: "It's worthless! Just now I said that I was trained in Baylor's mansion in the palace. Now you are asked to manage a shop, and you shrink back? If not, you will learn until you learn it. "
Xia'er's heart was pounding, and hot blood rushed to the top of her head, making her a little dizzy.
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in the back house, she didn't want to marry early, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in quarrels and compromises with her in-laws, natal brothers.

Xia Er: "..." So this is a big cake that Fujin drew for me?
Shuwan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be branches. You have to learn how to do business in the past two years, right? In a few days, I will tell Wu Fujin about opening a branch. Don't worry, this is not to fool you. "
Xia'er thanked Fujin for her kindness with a dry smile, the more she heard it, the more she sounded like a big cake.
"Yo, Xie En looks very reluctant!" Shuwan knocked on the table, "You should figure out who I want to open a branch for. I advise you not to be ignorant!"
Xia'er hurriedly coaxed her, "I don't mean to be perfunctory, I would like to thank Fujin for being perfect, so that I can not only fulfill my master-servant relationship with you, but also my filial piety."
Shuwan smiled and said, "That's about the same!"
After arranging her four court ladies, Shuwan's main courtyard also underwent some changes.
First of all, the servants have changed. Xia'er Qiuxiang and Bingxiang have chosen someone to replace them, and the three of them with seniority started to lead the newcomers.
Secondly, the stewards in the mansion were more cautious and attentive, for fear that they would be caught in the wrong place by Fujin and let Xia'er and others replace themselves!
New Year's Eve is the busiest time of the year, and Shuwan not only has to arrange house sweeping, offering sacrifices to the stove, etc., but also has to worry about things in the shop.
Now when Shuwan goes to check the accounts in the shop, or discusses things with Wu Fujin, she always takes Xia'er with her, and asks her to follow suit first.If a branch is really opened in the future, there will be a shopkeeper who will personally take her for a period of time.
When the New Year's Eve is approaching, there is another very important event, and that is Xiaobao's Zhouzhou Banquet.
This child happened to be born in his thirties.
The fourth elder brother sent invitations, and Shuwan prepared wine for the show, but there were not many guests who came to the banquet, and most of them left in a hurry after watching Zhuo Zhou.
There are still many things to do on New Year's Eve, how can I spend time here all the time?
The fourth elder brother was a little disappointed when he saw that Xiaobao's catch-up banquet was so deserted.
Xiaobao grabbed a small wooden knife and gnawed it in his mouth, not understanding his Ama's sorrow at all.
"Oh, Xiaobao has been wronged." The fourth elder brother sighed, "When Kang Bao caught Zhou Zhou, it was much more lively than now."
Shuwan couldn't understand the sentimentality of the fourth elder brother, "This is already very good. Those who can come have come, and those who can't come, and the gifts have not been left behind. If you want to blame it, you can blame your son for not being up to date. Everyone was busy when he was born. At that time, if it was one day earlier, it would be stronger than now.
Oh, by the way, some years he can't celebrate his birthday!Because some years are only 29, there is no New Year's Eve! "
The fourth elder brother gave Shuwan a white look, thinking that she sometimes acts like a rough man and doesn't understand her husband's feelings at all.
Of course... sometimes it is quite gentle, only limited to the bed.
This year's New Year's Eve, the fourth elder brother did not enter the palace to pay his respects.
The emperor was still very considerate, he exempted the fourth elder brother from entering the palace, and let him manage the child's first birthday at home, after all, the first birthday is only once in a lifetime, so we must be cautious.
It can be seen from this that the emperor and the fourth elder brother have the same idea, only Shuwan is a rough guy with no sense of ceremony.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Wu Gege Song Gege, Kang Bao Xiaobao and a little Gege were all there.
Song Gege often brings Xiao Gege to greet Shuwan, and Xiao Gege is no stranger to Shuwan.She also held a glass of honey water and said auspicious words to Shuwan and Si Age.
The auspicious words should be taught by Song Gege, Xiao Gege is articulate and speaks well.
It's just that when she said auspicious words, she kept looking at Shuwan, as if the fourth elder brother was a superfluous person who talked about auspicious words, which made the fourth elder brother a little depressed.
Shuwan smiled and patted Little Gege on the head, and rewarded her with two gold collars.
"Little Gege is so good, this is a reward from Erniang, you take it!"
At this time, Little Gege looked at the fourth elder brother timidly, waiting for the fourth elder brother to give him a gift.
The fourth elder brother's face froze for a moment, and his expression became even colder.
Su Peisheng was a little flustered, Shuwan guessed it at a glance, the fourth elder brother probably didn't prepare the New Year's money, he probably didn't expect that Little Gege would separate him from Shuwan and wanted two gifts.
Shuwan hurriedly asked Chun'er to bring her purse.
"Come on, this is the new year's money that your Ama gave to Little Gege, and it has been kept here with Erniang. You can play with these two purses!"
Kang Bao asked, "Emiang, where's my lucky money?"
Shuwan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone has it."
Chun'er gave Kang Bao and Xiao Bao two purses each, which contained brand new copper coins and gold and silver locks.
Kang Bao opened the purse and counted, then sighed heavily.
"Oh, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still a piece of meat!"
Shuwan: "..."
She suddenly laughed and said, "Kangbao! You are too young to know how to spend money and manage money. Give the New Year's money to Er Niang! Er Niang will save it for you and give it to you when you grow up."
After speaking, Shuwan forcefully tore the purse out of Kang Bao's little hand.
Kang Bao: "..."
The fourth elder brother took a handkerchief and lowered his head to wipe his mouth, holding back a smile and enduring it very hard.
Shuwan greeted everyone to eat food, Kang Bao took advantage of Shuwan's inattention and snatched the pouch from his younger brother.
"My brother, you are younger than me, you don't know how to spend money, my brother will save it for you, and I will return it to you when you grow up!"
Xiaobao was not interested in money, and let Kangbao snatch it away. He concentrated on chewing on his hands and drooling, wanting to eat the food on the table.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the fourth elder brother drove Song Gege and others away as usual, and lived with Shuwan in the two-person world.
Shuwan sent a big red envelope to everyone who served the fourth elder brother. Su Peisheng held the red envelope and wondered whether he should accept it or not.
In the past, during the New Year, the public would give money to Su Peisheng and others, but this time it was given by Fujin in his own name, and Su Peisheng wondered if he could accept it.
Shuwan smiled and said: "I opened a makeup shop this year. Although I haven't paid back my money, I made a lot of money a year ago. The servants in the main courtyard are all rewarded. You have worked hard to serve Lord Baylor. This is for your hard work." Money also makes you feel rich."
Shuwan let them get rich, how could Su Peisheng have no reason not to accept it?
He hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you Fujin for the reward, I will definitely take care of Lord Baylor with all my heart in the future."
Shuwan smiled and said: "Okay, you all go down!"
The fourth elder brother drank a few glasses of wine, and now his body is hot, his head is a little dizzy, and he feels a little ecstatic.
He said with a smile: "Si Fujin is rich now, and his skills are extraordinary!"
Shuwan sighed: "Oh, I only dare to tell you some things, I really have no money!"
After the shop has made money, it has to invest in the next wave of production, hoard raw materials, spend money to hire people, and do publicity. Which one does not cost money?Originally, they only wanted to start a small business, but it turned out that the two prodigal daughters-in-law made it bigger and bigger.
The fourth elder brother laughed at her, "How dare you give out silver rewards when you have no money?"
"It's New Year's Eve, and everyone knows that I've made a lot of money. How can I search for it? Isn't that a joke?" Shuwan pursed her lips and sighed, "Some things can be saved, but some things can't be saved!"
Shuwan thought: Fujin's identity is also a burden!The burden of being an idol is too heavy!Although being a Fujin is fun, it hurts money.
The fourth elder brother stood up with a smile, and he took out a box from the bedside cabinet.
"I've kept this box next to my bed for a month, and you don't know how to open it."
Shuwan and the fourth elder brother's things are kept separately, and Shuwan hardly touches the fourth elder brother's personal belongings.She has always felt that there should be some distance between the husband and wife, and it seems that it is not good to look through the personal belongings of the fourth elder brother.
Shuwan knew that the fourth elder brother would be upset if she answered this way, and he would think that Shuwan deliberately distanced herself from him.
Shuwan said blankly: "How did I know you put the box?"
The fourth elder brother stuffed the box into Shuwan's hands, "This is a New Year's gift for you."
Shuwan opened the box, and a stack of bank notes came into view.
Shuwan slammed the box shut, "I seem to... see a golden light! It almost caught my eyes!"
The fourth elder brother opened the box, took out a few bank notes and shook them back and forth in front of Shuwan's eyes.
"It's not your illusion, it really has a golden light."
Shuwan snatched the silver ticket excitedly, "What is this! This is silver! Why did you think of giving me silver?"
Why send money?Of course, she was afraid that Shuwan would go bankrupt!
The fourth elder brother said: "How much dowry do you have, can I not know? You are throwing money out like a boy who spreads money. I guess you are almost out of money. Although the food and lodging are all in the public, you will always be useful." The dowry place. Not to mention anything else, your rouge shop has to keep pouring money into it, right?"
Shuwan was very excited when she saw the silver bills, she poured them out and counted them, the total was 5000 taels of silver bills, which was enough for her to squander for a while.
As the saying goes, it is better to pay a huge sum of money than asking for warmth.Shuwan finally felt the charm of huge sums of money.
Although it is winter, why is she so warm?
ah!Money must have warmed her up!
Shuwan flung herself into Si Age's arms and rolled around coquettishly, dangling by his collar.
"Whoa, why are you so nice? You are simply the most perfect man in the world!"
The fourth elder brother was pulled back and forth by her, he held Shuwan's hand and told her to let go of her quickly, "If you strangle me any further, you will strangle me out of breath."
Shuwan quickly let go of her hand and rubbed his neck.
"I'm sorry, my God of Wealth, let me see if it's strangled."
The fourth elder brother hugged Shuwan's waist and slid up and down, "I gave such a good gift, how can you thank me?"
Shuwan winked at him, "Death, of course I'm giving you a kiss!"
Shuwan grabbed the fourth elder brother's collar and kissed her, and the fourth elder brother was very dissatisfied.
"Send me with a kiss?"
Shuwan thumped him, "It's good to kiss you, don't bother me next, I'm going to start counting the money!"
Fourth elder brother: "Didn't you count it?"
"Money is not afraid of counting. The more I count, the happier I am!"
The fourth elder brother snatched the money box and threw it at the end of the bed, holding Shuwan down on top of her.
Sven, he rarely swears, "How many farts! Let's watch the new year in bed!"
Because of keeping the old age so well, Shuwan woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes, and she had to put on more powder to cover them up.
When they arrived at the palace, the fourth elder brother took Kang Bao to the front, and Shuwan went to the back to greet Concubine De.
Going home at night, the fourth elder brother told Shuwan the good news that the emperor gave Kang Bao a name.
"What's Kang Bao's name?" Shuwan asked impatiently.
"Honghui!" The fourth elder brother was very satisfied with the name, "It's a good name."
Shuwan silently said it several times in her heart, "Well, this name is not bad. Does the emperor like our family Honghui very much? Otherwise, why did he suddenly give it a name during the Chinese New Year?"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said with a smile: "The children of the eldest brother, the third brother and the fifth younger brother were also named together. Kang Bao is not outstanding."
Shuwan nodded sullenly, "I thought Kang Bao was special!"
The fourth elder brother laughed at her for thinking too much, and she also had such expectations in her heart.
Who doesn't want their children to make a good impression in front of the emperor?In the future, Kang Bao will be crowned heir son, the emperor will like him a little more, maybe he will have a better future!
The fourth elder brother said again: "There are two happy events when we enter the door. The old nine and the ten are getting married."
Shuwan nodded, "I know about this! All the women in the harem are talking about this! They are going to marry their daughter-in-law, and Concubine Yi is in a good mood. It seems that she is very satisfied with her new daughter-in-law."
"It should be during the draft. Concubine Yi met her. Not to mention the marriage, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi's house has already been drawn. Lao Jiu is behind Lao Ba's mansion, not too far from us."
Shuwan: "Huh? He is also near our house?"
"It's like this. When the weather gets warmer, it's almost time to start building the mansion."
Shuwan looked at the fourth elder brother sympathetically, what kind of fate is this man!The mansion is surrounded by his future rivals, you are surrounded by the old and the old!
Shuwan asked: "How is Brother Jiu?"
She thought that the fourth elder brother would say a lot of belittling words, but she did not expect that the fourth elder brother had a very fair evaluation of him.
"Study is quite clever, better than the old ten. He is also loyal and filial enough. It's just that his mind is not in the right place, and he likes foreigners."
Shuwan: "Oh, that's it!"
The fourth elder brother said to Shuwan: "Lao Jiu is a good friend. In the future, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu will move out. If you don't like to socialize with Ba Fujin, you can often walk around with Lao Jiu's wife so that your life will not be boring."
Shuwan waved her hands again and again, "Let's forget it! The eighth brother and the ninth brother are close, the eighth brother and the ninth brother are the same, so I'm going to join in the fun. Besides, I'm busy every day, you Forget, I still have to fight in the mall!"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the golden toilet?"
At this moment, Kang Bao, who shrank aside, raised his hand and said, "Emiang, I want a golden toilet too!"
Shuwan patted him, "What kind of golden toilet do you want at such a young age!"
Kang Bao said loudly: "The golden toilet is rich! We are a wealthy family. If Ama can use the golden toilet, so can I!"
Shuwan uttered the famous saying of her mother under the sun, "I think you are like a golden toilet!"
