Coming out of the apricot courtyard, Li took Xiangyu to the Jinyuan to sit down, and then sent her back to the Shaoyuan.

After returning to the Lan Courtyard, the Li family asked someone to invite Chu Yu and told her to take Tianhui and Xiangyu to Sun's house Ming, and then said: "I see that the child is sensible, and after Ming'er comes back, I will talk to her first." If she didn't cry, the old lady would be able to hurt a little less. ”

Chu Yu responded, and the next time he took Tianhui and Xiangyu out of the house.

Although I asked someone to say hello in the morning, it was still a bit hasty.

Cao Ying got the news, so she told her in-laws and waited to greet the distinguished guests.

She was still surprised in her heart, and she didn't know why Chu Yu came. After all, Ming said that it was Tianbao's "grasp Zhou", and if there was anything that could not be said, he had to make a special trip to come over today.

Chu Yu took the two girls, but did not go directly to Sun's house. She asked someone to greet the Sun family, saying that it was early noon (11 o'clock in the morning), and it was still early.

She first took the two children to the front door, and bought a new shop a few days ago, which was almost cleaned up, which was ready for Tianhui to open an "inline promotion".

This shop is in accordance with the old pattern of the front door merchants, the front shop and the back factory, so the depth is very wide. Now the boot master has not yet started working, so the inner courtyard is empty.

There are three main rooms, and one transept on each side. On the landlord's side, the door is opened separately, and it is a private room where the "owner" comes to check the accounts.

Chu Yu took Tianhui and Xiangyu to turn around the courtyard, where is the warehouse and where is the workshop, they are all clearly distinguished.

Tianhui and Xiangyu both had a little excitement on their faces, turned around, and sat in the elegant room with Chu Yu.

There was already Zhang Yi's family, with a few maids, who laid out the seat cushion and poured tea.

"Have you decided to open?" Chu Yu asked Tianhui.

Tianhui said: "My aunt said that the most important thing to avoid is June, maybe at the end of May, or the beginning of July. ”

"How will the proceeds be distributed, have you ordered it?" Chu Yu looked at her daughter lovingly and asked.

"Aunt Sancheng, Sister Yu, Fourth Aunt and Fifth Aunt are half percent, and two sisters of the second aunt's family, each of them is half percent from the age of ten." Tianhui replied.

Chu Yu listened, smiled and nodded.

Everyone knows that this shop is opened by Tianhui and Niuniu in partnership, and it is appropriate to give Niuniu the lion's share, and give her aunts and sisters some rouge silver, so you can't find fault with this distribution.

This shop was originally opened by my daughter to play.

Xiangyu was listening, but she was a little embarrassed, and whispered to Tianhui: "Sister Hui, I didn't do anything, how can I divide the money for nothing?" Or maybe I'll be like my aunt and take out a piece of silver...... It's just that I'm not as rich as my aunt, and I don't have a lot of money to come up with......"

Due to the influence of Caofu's family style, the children are in charge of the monthly silver by themselves, and they also have to learn to make income and expenditure account books by themselves, so Xiangyu also has some savings in her hands.

Tianhui shook her head and said, "No, my aunt and I have enough money." Didn't you help me and my aunt by looking at the cloth samples and dye, which also helped me and my aunt a lot. ”

Xiangyu listened, her eyes shining, and she smiled with a small mouth.

Chu Yu sighed in his heart and took the two of them to Sun's house.

Cao Ying had been waiting for a while, and when she heard that the guest had arrived, she followed her mother-in-law An and brother-in-law Gao to welcome her outside the second gate.

After seeing each other, everyone hugged Chu Yu and went to Cao Ying's courtyard.

Seeing that Tianhui and Xiangyu are both good, An Shi has to take a few more looks. After hearing that Xiangyu was a girl from the Li family, her face changed.

The Li family has already asked for the guilt, and the Cao family is still protecting the Li family girl; The Sun family was just dismissed, but the Cao family watched as the daughter of the Sun family was about to enter the palace to serve, and it was clear at a glance.

An's heart was indignant, but he also knew that he still had to hold on to the Cao family now, forced a smile, accompanied Chu Yu to say a few words of homely things, and went out; Gao was very interested, and when he saw his mother-in-law going down, he also used the excuse of going to the kitchen to prepare a table and went out to confess.

Cao Ying was puzzled, and she didn't want to ask too much in front of the children, so she told her daughter to take Tianhui and Xiangyu back to her room to play.

Sun Xian responded, Tianhui glanced at Chu Yu with some hesitation, and when she nodded, she took Xiangyu and went to the west wing where Sun Xian was.

"Brother and sister, but something?" Cao Ying hesitated for a moment and asked.

She already knew about her cousin's gift from her mother-in-law, and she was a little uneasy in her heart, afraid that Cao Hao was hiding from Chu Yu to help the Sun family. After all, ten hectares of land are expensive.

Although her cousin sent charcoal in the snow, she was grateful, but she didn't want to disturb her mother's family because of this. In that case, she, who is a sister, will be ashamed.

"Eldest sister, I'm coming here today, mainly to bring Xiangyu over to meet the three girls of your family. Xiangyu is also on the small selection book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she will be sent to the palace on the 15th. Our old lady wants to let them know each other and take care of them in the future. Chu Yu said.

Cao Ying was speechless in surprise when she heard this.

The three girls of the Sun family are okay, they are thirteen this year, which is the age of the small election, and it is not abrupt to enter the palace on an errand; The fragrant jade girl of the Li family is only ten years old, and when Li Xu asks about the crime, it seems that the family of the criminal official has been punished and confiscated into the palace.

"Ming said Tianbao 'catch Zhou', if the eldest sister is cheap, let's take the three girls over, it doesn't seem to be a long time, so it's good to let the two aunts and nephews get more familiar." Chu Yu said.

Cao Ying didn't have anything to say here, so she hurriedly responded, and then asked someone to invite her sister-in-law over.

This third girl is in her prime, not tall, slender, different from the girls in the north, with the aura of a Jiangnan woman, her appearance is just delicate, not outstanding, she speaks with a southern accent, gentle and gentle, and is very amiable.

Chu Yu gave a pair of agate bracelets as a greeting gift, and then Cao Ying sent someone to the West Chamber to invite Tianhui and them to come and meet.

The third girl already knew about her entry into the palace, and cried a few times in private, but she didn't say anything in front of people. Seeing her nephew and the two cousins carefree now, she stood aside, only envious.

Among the sisters of the Cao family, Chu Yu and Cao Ying are not very close, and they don't have much to talk about.

Therefore, Chu Yu didn't stay long, and took Tianhui and Xiangyu back to the house after dinner.

The Li family did not ask Xiangyu to go back to the Peony Courtyard directly, but left her in the Orchid Courtyard.

After sending all his subordinates out, Li mentioned that Xiangyu entered the palace to serve.

Xiangyu heard it in a daze, her little face turned pale, and she asked in a low voice, "Aunt and grandmother, will you go with your granddaughter?" ”

"No, there are also the three girls of the Sun family. Because the Li family is the interior minister, this is a helpless thing. But you don't have to be afraid, after a few years, I will think of picking you up. Li said softly.

Big tears rolled down from Xiangyu's eyes. With a pleading face, she pulled Li's sleeve and choked up, "Aunt, granddaughter, can you not?" The granddaughter is scared and doesn't want to be a palace maid......"

Li Shi took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said, "Your grandfather made a mistake, and your father is afraid that he will also be affected." When you enter the palace to do a good job, you are also filial. ”

"Yes...... But what about the ancestor? The ancestor likes his granddaughter to knock her legs, and he also likes his granddaughter to play 'right to Hu' with her......" Xiangyu's tears couldn't be stopped at all, crying.

Li Shi reddened his eyes, hugged Xiangyu in his arms, groped her hair and said, "It is precisely because I know that your ancestor is reluctant to let you go, that my aunt and grandmother will tell you first." Your ancestor is old, and he can't help but be sad and happy...... You have to be stronger, so that your ancestor can rest assured......"

Xiangyu stayed in the Orchid Courtyard until the time of the lantern before returning to the Peony Courtyard.

Gao's old eyes were dizzy, and he didn't see anything wrong with her, he only asked where she went, and finally didn't forget to tell her not to worry about going out in the future. It's good to be naughty in the house, but it's not peaceful outside, and it's not ambitious.

Xiangyu responded in her mouth, went to bed on the kang early, and cried silently in the bed all night.

The next time, Tianbao "grabbed the week".

The Cao family did not have a big banquet of guests, except for the ladies of the East and West Mansions, they only invited the Chunwang Mansion and a few guests from the aunt's house to come over. The three girls of the Sun family also followed their sister-in-law and were taken to Jinyuan by Tianhui, and they became familiar with the big guys.

Tianbao has begun to learn to speak, no matter who holds it, they all shout "mama", so that everyone can't put it down.

Gao's usually doesn't like to see guests, and his grandson's good son is also dressed up and talks with him in the Orchid Courtyard.

As she grew older, her surname gradually became calmer, and she could chat with Prince Chun Fujin and Prince Fujin and Prince Fujin.

Thinking that Cao Jiashi and Cao Yi also got the news of the Li family, they have been paying attention to the Li family, and seeing her look as usual, they were a little relieved.

After making a fuss for a long time, Tianbao, the little birthday star, grabbed a piece of ink, which was considered a great joy.

Cao Hao sent off the guests, and then went to Shicha Seaside to taste the whole hall to the banquet in Yiduli.

On the Cao family's side, the Li family went to the Shaoyuan and told Gao Taijun the truth about Li Xu's questioning, as well as Xiangyu's imminent entry into the palace to serve. Egao Taijun listened, sat quietly for a while, and said nothing. Li was not at ease, so he stayed with her until nightfall, serving her and settling before leaving.

This night, whether it was Gao Taijun of Peony or Li of Lanyuan, neither of them slept.

Early the next morning, Li went to the Peony Courtyard. She was not at ease, she was afraid that the old lady would not be able to stand it under her anxiety.

Gao Taijun had already gotten up and was combing Xiangyu's hair with a comb. After a night's work, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and her eyes were stiff and bloodshot.

Xiangyu's eyes were red, but she smiled and said, "If my cousin's 'Neiliansheng' is like my uncle's shop, it would be nice if it was also opened all over the city." In that way, if the granddaughter has a lot of dividends, she will invite a big golden Buddha to the ancestor. ”

Gao Taijun let her chirp, and only concentrated on braiding her.

It wasn't until Xiangyu's braids were braided that Gao Taijun found out that the Li family had come.

She glanced at Li lightly and sent Xiangyu out to play.

Xiangyu glanced at Li cautiously before obeying the order to go out.

Gao Taijun took out two boxes from the drawers of the kang table, pushed them in front of the Li family, and said, "There is some gold here, which was left for me by your eldest aunt before she passed by." What good can I do as a lonely old woman? I originally divided two parts, thinking that one for the younger generations of the Li family and one for the younger generations of the Cao family, and it was not in vain to let the children honor me. Now I want to be sorry for you, you take a box to honor the princess Niangniang, and beg her to take care of Xiangyu for the sake of being related to the Li family; A box, buy a yard, and wait for the Li family to come and settle ......"

Li refused to accept it, and said: "Mother, the house, Zhuangzi, and Brother Hao are all ready, and they will never let them suffer." The concubine's mother, her daughter will also intercede, you should keep this gold! ”

Gao shook his head and said, "You just take it, I still have the coffin book here, it's not tight." As he spoke, he brought over a jewelry box, which was not much jewelry, but it was exquisite: "These envoys have been made, and the silver exchanged for them will be ...... for your eldest brother."
