cousin?Which cousin?

Jia Ying was bewildered.

She doesn't have many cousins, but there are also quite a few, not counting those distant relatives who are twisted and turned, on Madam Wang's side, there are four cousins.

The eldest is Wang Xifeng's brother, Wang Ren, who is not much younger than Jia Ying.Then there is the eldest son of her uncle Wang Ziteng, who was married the year before last.

Mrs. Wang was talking about Xue Pan, who she had met a long time ago.

Otherwise, Mrs. Wang would not bring it up alone, not to mention that this buddy is not very reliable, but has a weird sense of embarrassment, which Mrs. Wang just doesn't like.

Then it could only be Wang Ziteng's second son. This cousin has been studying in Jinling, and she has never met him. Mrs. Wang said, it must be this one.

Jia Ying tried hard to recall, the day she lived in Wang's house, she finally picked out a boy who was her age among all the delicacies.

The other party was really polite and introverted. He only said a few words to her from the beginning to the end, and his sense of presence was very weak. No wonder she didn't remember it.

Jia Ying made a note, and said euphemistically: "I always follow my cousin and the others, and I only met once at my grandmother's."

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang is a well-educated orthodox lady, not a square dancing aunt, so if she doesn't gossip with her, she will avoid embarrassment.

It's just that Mrs. Wang didn't open up enough to discuss marriage matters with her. Seeing that she looked blank and didn't resist, she seemed very satisfied. She directly said that she wanted Jia Ying to follow the two springs and learn from Wang Xifeng as a housekeeper. .

Jia Ying felt that something big was going to happen.

Jia Zheng is a traditional scholar-bureaucrat. As long as the internal affairs are not messed up, he is very supportive of Mrs. Wang as a partner, and the girl's education is also the same, let alone the other party is Wang Ziteng's son. If Mrs. Wang said it, Jia Zheng would definitely not be opposed to.

At that time, I can only ask the old lady for help.

Jia Ying was sent out with the food in her arms, and she stood under the eaves with disheveled brows.

"Third sister!"

As soon as Jia Ying looked up, she saw Tan Chun standing in front of the ear room.She walked over, and Tanchun took her arm and led him into the house.

Jia Huan was playing, and when he saw Jia Ying coming in, he was overjoyed. Sure enough, Jia Ying gave him a lot of snacks, and she was satisfied and called her sister.

Tan Chun pulled Jia Ying to sit aside, poured tea himself, and said with a smile: "I knew you would come over to say hello to my wife, so I didn't go to the old lady's, I just waited for you here."

Jia Ying laughed and said in a low voice, "Then you have to go again, I brought something, I'll ask you to pick out the decent ones first, otherwise in a few days, some other sister will come and have no choice but to leave. "

Jia Ying has always had different hobbies than others, and she likes novelty things the most. Tanchun knew that what Jia Ying brought back must be different from what the comprador in the house found.

After that, the three of them reminiscing about the old days naturally did not mention it.As they walked together, Jia Ying mentioned that Madam Wang asked her to learn about housekeeping.

It's okay not to mention it, but when it was mentioned, Yingchun began to frown, and Tanchun also sighed.

"What's bothering you both?" Jia Ying asked curiously, why did the elders talk so well, and the two parties were so worried.

Yingchun and Tanchun looked at each other, and Yingchun said: "You know, I've always been soft-hearted, and I can't even calm down those little girls. A few days ago, those old women saw Sister Feng let go of her hand a little bit, and almost made a big deal out of it."

Jia Ying didn't ask in detail what the big deal was, but asked Tanchun again.

Tanchun is much more capable than Yingchun. She doesn't have such early problems, but she has a mother whose IQ is not online all the year round.

Jia Ying knew that Aunt Zhao was a bit up and down on weekdays, but Jia Zhu was here, so she didn't have any other thoughts. This time Tanchun gained some power, so she couldn't help but want to mess things up, so she must ask Tanchun to take advantage of the New Year This time, find a better job for Zhao Guoji.

Tanchun naturally disagreed, and Aunt Zhao had a big fight.

Yingchun was more optimistic than Tanchun. After the two complained, they immediately regained their enthusiasm: "It's great that you are coming. You have the support of an old lady behind you, and you are a daughter-in-law. Those daughters-in-law dare not be with you." Get Joe here, and we'll be able to do things much easier."

Jia Ying said: "I'm afraid it will be more complicated. Now that the family has been separated, I'm the second wife, and I'm a girl who hasn't gone out. How can I manage the affairs behind the house. It's the old lady who left power early and wants to support me. , it means that the old lady intervenes, those old women don't know how to chew the tongues of me and the old lady."

Yingchun was a little disappointed, and Tanchun let out a long sigh: "How did Lian's second sister-in-law be born, she is only a few years older than us, and she can take care of the affairs of this house by herself."

Yingchun said again: "I heard Mammy talk about the second sister-in-law, she..." The housekeeper also made money from it, secretly lent usury to subsidize her mother's family, suddenly realized that she was quick to talk, and immediately shut up.

Jia Ying was in front of the old lady, so she heard some rumors. She felt that the old lady should know about it, so she didn't take it seriously. Yingchun would suddenly bring it up, and she knew that many people in the big room said that Yingchun was so unreasonable. The girls who care about gossip know it, and once again realized that there are many people in this house.

In ancient times, there was no concept of privacy, not to mention the fear of people's words, and pink eye disease was inevitable, especially Wang Xifeng did not leave room for things, and there were many people who wanted to come to the big room to hold grudges.

Jia Ying said: "In this position, you can feel it to some extent. She is a young daughter-in-law. If she wants to suppress these people, she can only be stricter, and the rumors are not very trustworthy."

Seeing that Jia Ying deliberately misinterpreted her words, Yingchun felt relieved and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Tanchun changed the subject and asked Jia Ying about Jinling.

"I just found out that Sister Bao has a cousin. She has been walking around with the family since she was a child. She has seen everything in the world, and she is very beautiful."

Although the status of a merchant is low, the Xue family is an imperial merchant, and nothing can be wronged if it has something to do with the emperor, so Xue Baoqin is very outstanding among all the girls in Jinling.

When it comes to Xue Baoqin, Jia Ying often asks about Xue Baochai's recent situation.

"I only heard from the old lady that Sister Bao became the princess' companion?"

Yingchun said: "Sister Bao came here during the year, and she didn't say much, she just said that the princess has a good temper. By the way, she even asked about the current situation of our poetry club."

Jia Ying laughed: "I've thought about it when I was in Gusu and Jinling these days, and I have a very good idea. We invite Mr. Xie Qing to be the altar master, so that the wives can feel at ease, and we don't have to restrict ourselves to writing poems. You can write essays, let's learn from those literati, write posts to Axio Xiangyun, make a collection by ourselves, and everyone can make memories in the future."

Tanchun nodded: "Your ideas are indeed good. It's just that I came to you at the beginning mainly to solve the problem of tariffs. It's just that clever women don't cook without rice. You haven't solved the main problem. Although everyone has one or two, It can be counted, but not everyone can do it all the time."

Jia Yingyin laughed and said, "I've already planned this, so you can come and see."

Now they have arrived at Jia Ying's room, Jia Ying finds a scroll from the box, and instructs Qingwen to tear off everything on the Kang table and spread it out on the table.

Yingchun Tanchun leaned over, and saw the words "Daguanyuan Food Club Planning Book" written in big script in the center of Mogami.

Tanchun just finished reading this sentence, and he already laughed.

"Poetry Club, if you write Food Club, you will be greedy."

Jia Ying smiled and said, "You continue to look down."

Tanchun continued to watch, frowning thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Your style and statement are interesting."

Jia Ying was not in a hurry: "What else is there?"

After Tanchun finished reading, he clasped his palms together: "I knew you had the most crooked ideas."

Jia Ying was unconvinced: "Why did I have a wrong idea?"

Tan Chunfu said: "Ordinary people don't expect you to come here, but it is really possible to implement it."

The two chatted for a while, and Yingchun also finished watching, and smiled knowingly: "It's really interesting, I think it's very good."

Jia Ying was happy.

Qingwen asked on the side: "How did you start to build the Grand View Garden?"

Jia Ying thought to herself, I will destroy such a big free house for you, but mentally, I still have to return one.

"Collecting books from a wide range of books is a great view. That's why it's called Daguan. Although we live in a small world, through books, our vision can be the same as that of those who have seen the world of Daguan."
