"Cousin, have you been to Yangfeng County? Your eldest cousin has a house in Yangfeng County. I will take you there another day."
Chen Xuan'er and Xiao Fuyuan walked out of the house, wondering what happened to the village owner, what happened to the village owner who had a shop and an embroidery workshop, but he also lived in the countryside.
Xiao Fuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin Xuan'er. My family also has a house in Yangfeng County."
"Xiao Yuanbao, you can't make such a joke. Yangfeng County is not your village. How can you say that there is a house there?" Chen Xuan'er's face was full of disbelief.
"Of course it's true, and it's in my name." Xiao Fuyuan didn't want to be so high-profile, but her aunt and cousin always wanted to create trouble for their family.
My cousin is really so old, but she still shows off in front of a child like her, insisting on ranking her.
Then Xiao Fuyuan is not polite.
Sure enough, when Chen Xuan'er heard that the house in Lao Bai's county town was under Xiao Fuyuan's name, her heart felt as if she had eaten a green apricot, and it was unbearable.
So unfair!
The Lao Bai family actually dotes on girls so much. She, Chen Xuan'er, is usually very pampered at home, but her father is unwilling to give her the shop and house. He often emphasizes that since there is no son in the family, those things should be given to her cousin.
"Cousin, I heard that your fourth brother is studying at Huaishui Academy?" Chen Xuan'er took a breath and turned to Bai Panmei.
"Yes, the fourth brother's grades are very good. He ranked first among the boys and the first among the scholars..." Xiao Fuyuan clapped his fingers and said with a smile, "My fourth brother wants to be the number one scholar."
The champion?
Blow it!
Bai Panmei was treated like a fool since she was a child, but she managed to win the favor of Huaishui Academy. I don't know where her luck came from.
But if Bai Panmei can really become the number one scholar, marrying him is not impossible.
"Your fourth brother is so awesome, is there any girl who wants to be your fourth sister-in-law?" Chen Xuan'er asked with a smile as she wanted to talk to Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan thought for a while, rolled her big eyes, stared at Chen Xuan'er and said innocently: "Cousin Xuan'er, do you want to be my fourth sister-in-law?"
One sentence almost made Chen Xuan'er fall down in excitement!
This little kid speaks too directly.
Chen Xuan'er looked at Xiao Fuyuan.
This little cousin has always behaved so innocently. She figured out the situation at home in just a few words. She was still proud of it. Now it seems that this little cousin did it on purpose.
Looking at the innocent smile on her cousin's face, Chen Xuan'er felt a little embarrassed and blushed to avoid Xiao Fuyuan's eyes.
"I... don't have anything to do. Whoever has enough to eat will marry Bai Panmei." Chen Xuan'er said hurriedly.
"Yeah, sister Xuan'er is so beautiful, there must be someone more suitable." Xiao Fuyuan answered seriously, "My fourth brother said that he likes girls who are gentle, generous, knowledgeable and sensible."
Chen Xuan'er's breathing stagnated.
Then there was a burst of unhappiness in my heart. What did my cousin mean? Did she think that I was not gentle and generous and was insinuating that I didn't know a single word?
But she couldn't get angry at her cousin, after all, Xiao Fuyuan didn't directly say that she wasn't.
"The embroidery workshop has arrived." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to a yard in front and ran in happily.
Chen Xuan'er trotted over immediately. As soon as she entered, her soul was hit hard again.
From Chen Xuan'er's perspective, she thought that Lao Bai's embroidery workshop could only consist of two people and one loom.
Good guy! It turned out to be a large courtyard with four large open rooms, a row of looms, a row of embroiderers sitting in the room, and several aunts who were cutting threads and making knots.
The yard and the house were filled with embroidery and cloth.
Chen Xuan'er's eyes couldn't get enough of it.
"Xiao Yuanbao, is this really your embroidery workshop?" Chen Xuan'er asked in disbelief.
"That can still be false." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Chen Xuan'er didn't know what to say for a moment.
She didn't expect that her aunt's family, which had never had enough to eat, would become so prosperous.
It must have been earned by her third cousin. She couldn't help but feel a little confused, and she was dissatisfied with her mother for canceling the birth of her and her third cousin's doll.
If she marries her third cousin, she will be the mistress of this embroidery workshop.
And the little cousin will fawn over her.
"Little Yuanbao is here."
The embroiderers greeted Xiao Fuyuan one after another.
"Sister Qiu." Xiao Fuyuan shouted.
Chen Xuan'er followed Xiao Fuyuan's line of sight and saw a young woman instructing a girl to embroider.
I think this is Qiuniang.
"Practice boldly, don't worry about damaging the embroidery." Qiuniang warned, turned around and walked towards Xiao Fuyuan.
"Little Yuanbao is here."
"Grandma asked you to go home for dinner. My grandma is here." Xiao Fuyuan said to Qiuniang.
"Okay, I'll go back now." Qiuniang washed her hands and led Xiao Fuyuan out of the embroidery workshop.
"This is my sister Qiu."
"Sister Qiu, this is cousin Xuan'er from my aunt's family."
Xiao Fuyuan introduced Qiuniang and Chen Xuaner to each other.
Chen Xuan'er looked at Qiuniang and saw that she was dressed as a woman. She was probably a widow or divorced by her husband's family. Otherwise, why would she be living at her aunt's house.
"Sister Qiu is very capable, Qiuniang is the one who makes the decision in the embroidery workshop." Xiao Fuyuan saw Chen Xuan'er showing contempt for Qiuniang, so she saved the day for Qiuniang.
Chen Xuan'er was surprised and smiled calmly at Qiu Niang: "Hello, Sister Qiu. Sister Qiu's home is also near Shenshu Village, right?"
"My family is in another county, and a dead man came to seek refuge with my aunt." Qiuniang said calmly.
It turned out to be a widow.
Chen Xuan'er had some concerns in her mind.
She looks quite pretty.
Lao Bai's family is a men's nest like a monk's temple, but he is so relieved that there is a pretty widow in his family.
…
Lao Bai's family went to bed.
"...Second Miss, don't think I'm taking care of you. Since you call me your mother, I have the right to take care of you. Think about all the dead people in the Zhen Mansion. Why do you want to go to the capital to wade in the muddy waters? We'll just be old Live your life honestly." Facing Aunt Chen's offensive of tears, Grandma Du said softly, "Stop crying, you are at your sister's house. You will be picked up by her mother-in-law when you turn around. I saw something bad.”
Mrs. Zhen looked at her sister coldly, she was as stupid as Aunt Liu.
Aunt Chen gradually stopped crying and finally agreed not to go to the capital.
There was nothing she could do if she didn't agree. She didn't have the means to get there herself, so she couldn't go to the gate of the imperial city and tell her that she was the Queen Mother's niece. It would be fine if she didn't get stabbed to death by the guards.
Then he put on a smiling face and said to Mrs. Zhen: "Sister, my family was busy when we got married, so I felt guilty for not coming in person. I will apologize to you."
Mrs. Zhen thought that this was finally mentioned.
Her sister...
I can't blame the old lady Bai for looking down upon her.
"It doesn't matter whether they come or not. My third son and his third daughter-in-law have been in harmony since they got married. The third daughter-in-law is pregnant now," said Zhen.
Aunt Chen forced a smile and said: "Sister is so lucky to have a grandchild again. I was really busy when the three of us were getting married, but secondly, I felt guilty about the three and was embarrassed to come."
When Mrs. Zhen didn't respond, Aunt Chen continued: "It was because I was not firm-minded at the beginning. I listened to my family's words and ruined Xuan'er and Sanzhuang's baby marriage. I have been feeling unhappy..."
"Sister, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." Madam Zhen interrupted Aunt Chen.
