When Yuxi heard Fang's mother say that she had recognized that Xiaowei as her goddaughter, her face changed slightly, and she no longer reminded her vaguely, but said directly: "Is this family reliable? Could it be that you are here for your craft?" Earning thirty or forty taels of silver a month is nothing to the master of the Guogong Mansion, but it is a very attractive income for ordinary people.

Fang's mother hurriedly shook her head: "No, they didn't say that I should accept an apprentice, it was because I liked that child, so I came up with this idea." ”

Yuxi said bluntly: "Mom, I don't agree. "It's not that Yuxi doesn't let Fang's mother recognize her goddaughter, and she doesn't believe Fang's mother's eyes on people.

Fang's mother still wanted to fight for it, and said, "Girl, Xiaowei's family is also quite wealthy, and they won't covet my craftsmanship." "She almost said that Yuxi was too careful.

Fang's mother would think so, mainly because she felt that this craft was nothing remarkable and not worth such calculations.

Yuxi sighed slightly in her heart and said, "Mom, I'll accompany you to the Salesian Home to adopt one after a while." Mom, a child raised since childhood is more reassuring than an apprentice who gets halfway. After a pause, Yuxi said again: "In case the child is unconscionable, my mother still has me, and I will support my mother for the rest of my life." ”

Fang's mother was heartbroken and said, "Girl, I just look at Xiaowei very much like my daughter who died early. Since the girl said that it was unreliable, then forget it. "Fang's mother got married, but unfortunately her life was not good, her husband was gone in the second year of marriage, and her daughter was also lost when she was four years old.

Yuxi felt a little guilty: "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned these things." She could be more tactful.

Fang's mother shook her head: "I know that the girl is for my good." It's just that the store is very busy now, and I don't have time to take care of the children for the time being. Wait two or three years before going to the Salesian Home to adopt a child. "Although it is profitable to open a shop now, one day it will be old, what will I do when I am old?

Yuxi responded: "Okay." ”

Fang's mother almost forgot about the business she came this time: "Girl, I want to rent the shop next to it to expand the store." What do you think of asking two more people to help?" Fang's mother's steamed bun shop only sold steamed buns at first, but now it sells other noodles in addition to steamed buns, which taste very good, and the business hours have been changed from morning to day, which is why the profits are increasing.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Mom, if your body collapses, no amount of money will make up for it." "For that bit of silver, Mother Fang broke her body and couldn't draw it.

After persuading for a while, Fang's mother finally dispelled the idea of expanding the bun shop.

The two talked until noon, Yuxi left Fang's mother to finish lunch before leaving, and sent a lot of things to Fang's mother when she left. Now Yuxi is loved by the Qiu family, although he is not rich in money, but his clothes and food are very good.

Yuxi's rough mother-in-law, Mrs. An heard the sound of the carriage and hurriedly came out of the shop. When I opened the carriage, I saw that the carriage was full of things, and my face was full of joy.

Things are moved to the house. An Pozi saw that there were two cyan cloths inside. One is crow-green and the other is lilac-colored.

An Pozi touched these two horses with some love, and whispered: "A good material like this costs several taels of silver!"

An Pozi used to be the servant of a merchant's family, and the merchant offended people and went to prison, and the servants of the family also sold them one by one. It just so happened that Yuxi asked Xiang Yang to help buy a strong rough mother-in-law, and Xiang Yang bought her. She and Fang's mother have been together for more than half a year, and the relationship is like a sister.

Mother Fang said with a smile: "These two pieces of material are rewarded by the girl, and you also make two new clothes." "Fang's mother has already got two sets of new clothes, one of which is still a leather jacket.

An Pozi's heart was sour when she heard this, where did their family use such good materials before: "If you can find my family and children, you can also let them enjoy happiness with me." "Mrs. An has a husband and children, but the family of three is sold separately. She hasn't found it for most of the year, and the monthly money every month has been spent on finding someone, but unfortunately there has been no news so far.

Mother Fang was also very sympathetic to Mrs. An's plight: "Don't worry, you can find them one day." "The capital is so big, it's not so easy to find this person. If you change your name, it will be more and more difficult to find.

An Pozi nodded, and asked again: "Sister Fang, has the girl agreed to the matter of accepting apprentices?" Xiaowei's family was very enthusiastic about the other party's mother, but they were not so polite to her, the person who bought it. One set in front of the person and one set in the back, An Pozi tried to demolish it several times but failed. When she saw that Fang's mother wanted to teach Xiaowei the skill of making steamed buns, she was really anxious, and hurriedly said that this matter was very important, and she had to get the girl's consent. Fortunately, Fang's mother was very convinced of the girl, and finally adopted her advice. Mrs. An only hopes that the girl will be smart and can guess that Xiaowei's family is not bad and kind.

Fang's mother shook her head and said, "The girl didn't agree. It is said that this craft can only be passed on to one's own children, not to outsiders. "The children who are adopted in the future are counted as their own.

An Pozi was surprised and said, "What does this mean?"

Fang's mother relayed what Yuxi said: "I also want to raise a child, and I will have a person to rely on when I get old in the future." But now I'm so busy that I don't have time to take care of my children, and I'll talk about it in two years. ”

An Pozi couldn't help but praise: "The girl is so good to her mother. "Generally, the mother-in-law who is released is a little cheeky and can't be rewarded with more money, who thinks so well for Fang's mother like the fourth girl. Even her, a bystander, was moved. Of course, with such a master, my heart is also steady.

Mother Fang likes to hear others praise Yuxi, and said with a smile: "Yes, the girl is a kind-hearted person again." ”

Mrs. An felt that the fourth girl was also a powerful one. I didn't see that the girl had never seen Xiaowei's family, so she knew that this family was not bad and kind, not powerful: "Mother Fang, didn't you agree to accept Xiaowei as your goddaughter before?

Fang's mother didn't put this at ease, "Just say that the girl doesn't allow it." Although she let go of the deed, Fang's mother still regarded Yuxi as her master.

An Pozi nodded hurriedly: "Sister Fang, you are right. Since the girl doesn't allow it, you can't help it. "With such a master with a background, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

Fang's mother sorted out the things she brought out of the Guogong Mansion, and then divided the pastries into several portions and sent them to the neighbor next door. Although Fang's mother is not good at intrigue, she is very kind and gets along very well with the people around her. As for Xiaowei's family, Fang's mother felt a little guilty and brought a gift to the door in person.

Xiaowei's family was annoyed when they got the news. However, they didn't dare to offend Fang's mother, so they passed the matter aside.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for the New Year. Children want to celebrate the New Year the most, and adults don't like it the most, because there are too many things. The Qiu family has been busy since the month of Wax, and has been busy until the twenty-ninth day of the month without taking a breath.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mrs. Han and Mrs. Guogongfu wore court clothes and sat in an eight-person sedan chair into the palace to go to the palace. When I came back, I went to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors.

Yuxi is a girl in the mansion, except for the time when she goes to the ancestral hall on the family tree, she doesn't need to go at other times.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is held in the main hall. That night, all the members of the family came. The second master of the Korean Mansion, Han Jingjun's family, who had been separated, also came over.

The second master, Han Jingjun, is a concubine, and his biological mother is the concubine of the old prince of the year, and she is also the niece of Mrs. Tai, who has gone first. Han Jingjun's biological mother tossed the old lady a lot with the old lady and the old man, and even wanted to compete for the position of the son, which made the old lady hate it to the core. It's a pity that Han Jingjun's biological mother died too early, and Lao Guogong left his last words when he died, saying that he would let Han Jingjun move out after seventy-seven.

Although the old lady did not retaliate against Han Jingjun's family, the family returned to their hometown to keep filial piety. Wait three years and come back, and it's not appropriate for her to do it again. So over the years, except for the New Year's when they came back to worship their ancestors, the old lady didn't let them come to the door at other times. Naturally, they did not receive any help from the Guogong Government.

After dinner, the whole family sat together and talked. At this time, it is also the time for the elders to give red envelopes to the juniors.

Han Jingjun's wife, Ma Shi, looked at Yuchen and said with a smile: "The third girl is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older." After speaking, he handed Yuchen a thick red envelope.

Yuchen looked at the old lady, and when she saw the old lady nodding, she answered: "Thank you, second aunt." ”

Ma praised Yuchen two more sentences, and then handed the red envelope to Yuxi.

Yuxi took the red envelope, without gratitude or disgust, took the purse and said, "Thank you, second aunt." "The red envelope she got was not as thick as Yuchen's. Even a red envelope has to be treated differently, which is really unhappy.

This night, Yuxi got a lot of red envelopes.

Yuxi is a girl, she doesn't need to keep the New Year, and when the banquet is over, she takes the maid back to her yard. On this day, the road was full of lights, and the entire Guogong Mansion was brightly lit, and there was no need to carry a lantern when you went back.

Back at the Rose Courtyard, Yuxi poured out all the contents of the red envelope. The red envelope given by the old lady is the most generous, six Ruyi gold nudes, each of which has one or two weights, this red envelope made Yuxi make a lot of money, plus the red envelopes given by others, the red envelopes that night added up to more than a hundred taels of silver.

In the second year of junior high school, I had to visit relatives and friends. Yuxi has no mother's family, and her father is not there, so there are no relatives she wants to visit. When she heard that Han Jianye was going to take her to Qiu's house, she was very surprised. Yuxi said: "Second brother, are you going to your grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, what do you want me to do?"

Han Jianye said funny: "Isn't my grandfather's house also your grandfather's house? ”

Yuxi was reluctant to go, but she didn't want to directly sweep the kindness of her second cousin, and said, "Second brother, does my aunt know about this?"

Han Jianye said with a smile: "I told my mother, and my mother agreed." Gone, but just to be a guest, so much. ”

Yuxi naturally didn't believe this.

Han Jianye couldn't cry or laugh: "Second brother is so untrustworthy in your heart? If you don't believe it, you can ask my mother now." ”

Yuxi doesn't want to go to Qiu's house, she is a girl in the second room, so she goes to Qiu's house with such a big face, how can she look bad: "Second brother, that's your grandfather's house, it's not good for me to go." ”

Han Jianye didn't like grinding and chirping the most: "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." He dropped this sentence and left, leaving Yuxi to stay where he was and cry and laugh.

Hong Shan persuaded on the side: "Girl, it's a good thing that the second master can read the girl." "The second master is grateful for his wife's life-saving grace, and he can always take care of her girl, which is the creation of her girl.

Yuxi went to the main courtyard in a blink of an eye and talked to Qiu's about it: "Aunt, the second brother will go to my grandfather's house tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, and it is not appropriate for me to go with me." ”

Qiu Shi touched the small mustache on Yuxi's head and quipped, "What's inappropriate." It's just a walk or two to a relative's house, but you can't always be bored in the yard. In fact, I think Yuxi is too hardworking, and she usually doesn't relax, which makes her a little overwhelmed. It's good for a child to work hard, but it's too hard, and she's worried that Ok-hee will become a nerd in the future.

Having said that, Yuxi can't refuse anymore. It's just that I wonder a little in my heart, I didn't have such a thing in my last life, why has everything changed now.

Hey, there's a surprise tomorrow.
