By Jia Xiuzhen

Let's say that Li Wan was thinking about what to do in the future, when he heard a noise in the outer room, he knew that Madam Xu had returned, so he let Madam Xu come in.Suyun followed behind Nanny Xu, holding a small bamboo basket in her hand, with a smile on her face. "Look at Suyun, but what treasure did you find?"

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Where is there any treasure! Peng Qiao's family went back and forth this month, and after paying the bill, they said that a few jujube trees in the wild forest in Zhuangshang grew surprisingly juicy this year, so I picked them to show grandma a surprise. I told her It's really a gift to catch a lice!"

Peng Qiao's family was originally Li Wan's servant girl when he was at home. Li Wan laughed and said, "It's hard for her to think about it."

Mother Xu said again: "She was going to come in to kowtow to grandma, but when Mo Yu and Yun Qiu said that grandma was taking Lan Geer for a rest, she kowtowed outside the door before going back."

"It's hard for her to have a heart, let me have a look at that rare thing." Suyun stepped forward and untied the small brown strip cover on the bamboo basket, only to see that the basket was full of round jujubes the size of a finger, all red. Thoroughly, a sour aroma, very gratifying to look at.Then he laughed and said, "This is a wild idea. Let's take some clean bamboo and wood stuffs and send them to old ladies and wives. They say they are from Zhuangzi. Let old ladies and wives see something new."

After hearing this, Nanny Xu said, "I'll have to trouble Nanny Chang."

Li Wan nodded and said, "That's right, Nanny Chang is the most expert in these things." After speaking, both of them couldn't help laughing.It turned out that Nanny Chang originally followed the old lady of the Li family, and she liked the countryside the most in her life. When she was young, she abducted the old lady to look for wild vegetables in the garden of the house. This is an allusion of the Li family.

Suyun took the jujube and went to find Nanny Chang. Seeing that Jia Lan started rubbing her eyes, Li Wan asked Mrs. Yu to carry Jia Lan back to sleep in his wife's yard, leaving Nanny Xu to talk.

It was the time when the long summer was coming to an end, everyone had lunch, and most of the masters were resting, so it was quiet for a while.Li Wan asked Mo Yu to serve tea again, and then sent the maids to the outside room. "Mommy, sit down." Nanny Xu didn't refuse, and sat on the footrest.

"Today, old lady, my wife talked about sending the girl away. Mo Yu and Yunqiu are not too young. The old lady asked me to arrange it myself."

After hearing this, Mother Xu said: "A few days ago, I was also planning to tell grandma about this. It was... now... what is grandma's plan?"

Li Wan said: "If it was the original, it would be better to have a small steward and be a steward's lady. It's no use doing this now. If one is bad, people will complain. I thought, It’s better to go to my dowry Zhuangzi. To tell you the truth, I want to send all the accompanying houses to my dowry Zhuangzi, even if it’s Mammy, it’s best to go.”

Nanny Xu nodded slightly after hearing this, and then she was a little surprised: "Grandma, what do you mean?"

Li Wan patted Nanny Xu's hand, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, mammy. Let me ask nanny, what do you think of the future of this mansion?"

"Grandma, no matter what happens to him in the future, I can't short you and brother, brother is the eldest grandson of the eldest son!"

Li Wan smiled lightly and shook his head, "Nurse, although I don't take care of things, I have followed my wife for almost two years. In this mansion, there are many people who enjoy wealth and honor, but there is no one who makes plans. Of course, I can't know what's going on in the top of my head, but I can only look at it with a cold eye in the past few years. It is certain that the income is more than the income. If things go on like this, I am afraid that it will not last for many years. Of course, this is about the official. Baoyu is not afraid Yes, there are old wives and wives, there is no penny in the government, but old wives and wives have a lot of money. It's just that Lan'er is still so young, when it really comes, will she have to rely on others to live?"

Mother Xu couldn't help sighing when she heard this, "As slaves, we don't know much about the big bills. I only see how the subordinates behave, which is completely different from our original mansion. If nothing else, it's just shopping. The price of things can be multiplied several times, and the ones they bought are not good. Those things that don’t reach the top of the eye, no one checks them anyway, which is even more amazing. Seeing, it was a group of slaves who joined together To lie to the master. The second mistress is powerful, but no matter how powerful she is, she can't stand the crowd to coax others. This must be the second mistress. If you want to change her personality and be weak, it's not pleasant to say , even if you change grandma, you will probably be gnawed to the bone."

Li Wan nodded, "Isn't that the case? Sometimes I accompany the old lady, listen to the old sayings, listen to the exuberance before, and now, I realize that the situation has really gone from bad to worse."

Mother Xu said: "Although that's the case, these things can't be banned anywhere, the emperor's house is the same. They still live the same, grandma don't worry too much."

Li Wan smiled and waved his hands, "Mammy, I'm not worried. Tell Mammy the truth, after my mother was ill, she was worried that she would deceive me later, so she left some things for me. This matter Even my father is unknown to Yi Xing'er. Now I only hope for Lan'er. In the mansion, with my status, as long as I keep quiet and guard myself, I can't get involved in the housework. I just thought it's better to fight Take care of my dowry, anyway, I can decide these things. You know the appearance of my natal family, Mammy, who can I rely on? My mother's last order to ask Mammy to accompany me is the way for the eldest son to be the daughter-in-law of the family. Come to help me. Now staying in the mansion like this, with such an acre of three-thirds of the land all day, wouldn’t it be condescending? What I want to do, it’s not convenient for people to be in the mansion. It's reliable, so I want Mammy to go out and take care of this matter alone. It's also my own selfishness, if Mammy doesn't want to, I'll think of another way."

Mother Xu hurriedly said: "Grandma, what is this? Back then, my wife asked me to recognize the characters, and then I asked someone to teach me about money and accounting, in order to be a helper with grandma. As long as it is for grandma and brother Okay, there is no such thing as whether you want to or not! Now that grandma said it, I understand that it is not easy to earn for Lang Geer's family relying on grandma's superficial dowry. But since the first wife has other arrangements, the two I said it. It’s just how to act, you have to plan carefully, you can’t be reckless.”

Li Wan listened to Madam Xu's words, and put down a big stone in his heart, "Mama's words are very suitable for me. What I mean is, we must not do things that are eye-catching. We only need to carefully plan the business in the village. Don’t do anything else if you get a profit, just buy land, or buy a good shop, don’t need to run it yourself, just rent it out. I don’t think too much about it, when Lan’er wants to become an official and start a family, he can spend a year Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for the future."

Mother Xu covered her mouth after hearing this, "Oh, my grandma, Buddha, [-] liang of silver a year! Luckily grandma figured it out, could it be that my wife left a golden mountain for grandma?!"

Li Wan laughed, "It doesn't matter if I tell Mammy, my mother was born in a rich family in the previous dynasty, and although she was in decline, she left some fragments of ancient books. There are a few things that have been broken now, and there are just a few of them."

"Buddha bless! Unexpectedly, my wife is indeed from a noble family. I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be found in this mansion now."

"That's right, the mansion has just risen for less than a hundred years now, how can there be these things."

Mother Xu was overjoyed, "If this is the case, grandma said that it would be good to send all the companions to the Zhuangzi. Everything is done outside, and it is not suitable to use people from the house. Because it is from grandma's hands again. Fang Zi, it turns out that the mansion doesn’t know about it, so it’s just that I got it now, and there’s no delay at both ends. It’s just that grandma wants to arrange everyone out, what can the wife say?”

Li Wan smiled lightly and said: "Madam? Madam has Feng girl to help, and it is convenient for the aunt and nephew to do something. I made it clear that I only care about my dowry. Madam will only be happy when she sees it. There is no reason to stop it. Is it possible that my wife would like my accompanying room to stay in the mansion without being reused? Everyone is like the eldest wife’s dowry Mrs. Fei, staring at this end all day longing for a show to watch, or drinking Jiu swearing and complaining and looking for someone to vent your anger? So the wife can rest assured. The tricky thing is that I am alone here, do you want Lan'er to deal with the men outside?"

Mammy Xu pursed her lips and smiled, "Grandma, don't worry. Although I combed it myself, I recognized my goddaughter. Grandma will let my daughters and sons-in-law get busy."

"By the way! If you don't tell me, I'll forget! Ruyi and Ruxin are not both your daughters!"

"That's right, it was my wife who led the way back then. Now that I think about it, it turns out that my wife has already made arrangements! Now they belong to Ji Liang's family and Duan Gao's family."

The two talked so excitedly that they even missed a break.He called Mo Yu and Yun Qiu in again to discuss their whereabouts.Although Jia's mansion is a rich and gentle town, these two people have experienced Li Wan's new widow's "warmth and coldness".He didn't miss anything, and when Li Wan mentioned a little bit about what he was going to do after going out, he felt more and more that he still had something to do when he went out, so he hesitated and said that he would marry to the village.

As for the candidates, Nanny Xu will investigate, and if the two parties are interested, they will naturally come to kowtow to Li Wan.As a result, there would be more than half a year's work before and after, so Li Wan asked them to take Suyun and Biyue with them, and when they left, he raised Suyun and Biyue to become big girls.As for Jia Lan's place, Li Wan wanted his second-class maid, Primrose, to serve her. Thinking about Baoyu's current state, Li Wan didn't plan to match Jia Lan with too many maids, but the servant had to choose carefully.How to do it will be clarified by Mrs. Wang before making arrangements.

All the maids and women came in to serve her. Li Wan sat on the kang, holding a teacup and looking out the window in a daze.I didn't expect that Kongyou Baoshan's troubles would be solved in this way, and that crate of sour dates reminded me.It’s really a multi-purpose thing. Firstly, Mo Yuyunqiu and Xu Nanny who are close to me are far away. After all, Suyun Biyue is different, and some things are easy to hesitate; secondly, things in the Pearl Realm can be taken out. This way, she borrowed her mother's name and the background of the former rich family, so Nanny Xu believed in it; and thirdly, she can clearly focus on taking care of her dowry without being questioned, which can also be regarded as the status of a chaste woman The benefits have been brought.Li Wan thought about this and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

Immediately, I really wished to go into the Pearl Realm to find out what I could use, so I decided to forget it after thinking about it.For example, if you enter the Pearl Realm, you don't know how long you will stay, even if you come out, it will still be the same moment, but if you bring out something different again, it will be troublesome for others to see through.Li Wan was cautious and tolerant by nature, after thinking about it for a while, he put aside his previous thoughts.

At that moment, Mrs. Wang sent people to look for it, and it was said that the imperial doctor Wang had come again to check Jia Lan's pulse. She was very surprised at Jia Lan's recovery speed.Later, I heard that his mother boiled hot water overnight to bathe him, rub his body, massage the soles of his hands and feet, twirl his beard and express his admiration, and praised Jia's family style. Jia Zheng was very happy to hear that.

Mrs. Wang told Jia Zheng what Jia Mu meant, and Jia Zheng said: "You have a lot of things here, but now you say that the fourth sister is not very good. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future. You also listen to it now." According to the imperial doctor, Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is very dedicated to taking care of Lan'er, you have nothing to worry about, just let Zhu'er's daughter-in-law take care of herself. If you have time, why not take care of Gu Huan'er more, don't let him grow up with his aunt Take your temper." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked Li Wan to take Jia Lan back to her yard.

Li Wan took the opportunity to go back to Mo Yuyunqiu's arrangement, and talked about the lack of manpower in the dowry Zhuangzi, and wanted to send the companion to take care of it, as well as Jia Lan's serving maids and so on.Mrs. Wang agreed one by one, and only asked Li Wan to talk to Sister Feng. Primrose can serve first, and then she will be promoted with Suyun Biyue.After returning home, go to Westinghouse to pick up Jalan.

Jia Lan already had a house in Li Wan's courtyard, so there was nothing to move. It was just a few rough women who moved some wooden barrels, basins and bedding. Li Wan asked Yun Qiu to watch, and he brought Jia Lan went back.
