"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually." Young Jin couldn't help laughing a little when he saw how he was at a loss, but felt that Han Li was treating himself as a bad guy who beat the mandarin ducks: "You are sixteen now, if you are an ordinary person , It is also the age to say kiss, if you have any ideas, may you please tell me?"
Han Li touched the back of his head shyly, thinking that he and the person he loves are so different from each other, he can't help but feel a little dejected: "I have no parents and no family business, how can anyone look at me?" Han Li thought more and more. The more I feel lost in my heart, I am afraid that I am not the man who wants to eat swan meat!
You Jin didn't care what he was thinking, and only said: "Since you came to our house, we have been reading and writing, why is it so arrogant? I have an idea now, I want to send you to the tea village to help with the stewardship, what do you think? "
"Going to the tea village?" Han Li naturally knew that the eldest girl was promoting himself, but when he thought that he was gone, Erhua was the only one left at Wuli Bridge, but he was still a little reluctant.
You Jin naturally knew his worries, so he said: "Just go with confidence, Erhua will not be wronged in the Su family. Now there is only Song Hua in the tea town, and there is no one to discuss when something happens. You have also studied with Uncle Song for a while, so it's time for you to practice." In fact, Young Jin's expectations for Han Li were more than that: "In addition, you can't relax and study when you go to the tea village. Being a cheap citizen, even if it is a child, is better than being white."
Dafeng regulations stipulated that low-ranking members could not participate in the imperial examination. At that time, Han Li did not sell himself when he entered the Su family. Now it seems to be a good thing.
After talking about the big one, looking at Han Li's tangled appearance, You Jin decided to take some heavy medicine: "You don't necessarily come to our family to propose marriage, right? Your affection for You Yin is mine. It's not that I don't know, You Yin is my sister, I naturally hope that she won't have to suffer in the future, what are you doing to propose marriage to me now?"
"Big girl?!" Han Li was so frightened by her that he stared at him, and he didn't know what to say.
Young Jin waved his hand and didn't bother to talk to him any more: "Just think about it." Then he sent the person out. Han Li walked out of the study, his mind was like a puddle of mud, not knowing what to do.
***
Only You Jin and Han Li knew about it, and both of them tacitly forgot about it and didn't mention it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer. On the 11th, Song Hua, who was in the tea township for several days, finally returned to Wuli Bridge.
"I'm thinner, darker, and taller." Seeing her son, who hadn't seen her for nearly two months, Aunt Song couldn't help but redden her eyes.
Uncle Song on the side also had sore eyes, but he still managed to hold back his emotions and said, "It's good for this son to come back, but your old woman is still crying? I'm afraid it's too much tossing all the way back, so go back quickly and rest."
Hearing what her man said, Aunt Song remembered that her son had been running all the way. She was afraid that she was very tired, so she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Hey! Yes, the girl said that when you come back, just rest and go back for a break. Son, wait for the girl to come back and talk back."
It turned out that Youjin went out early this morning, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival soon. She was also going to give some gifts to the customers who had business contacts. Not to mention, the prefect Qin's house is a must-see.
Xiao Linyu lived in Su's house for more than a month, and it was not for nothing. With his matchmaking, You Jin climbed the prefect tree. In addition, the prefect's wife, Mrs. Wu, is also a very good eater, and she is full of praise for Su Jiaxiang's cakes. Mrs. Wu only gave birth to two sons, but she did not have a good-looking daughter. She naturally likes the Su family girl who can make such delicious cakes and looks good.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour after the Su family's two large food boxes were delivered to the prefectural government office, the servant of Qin's house who brought the food boxes in came out holding the boxing gift that Wu's family had prepared: "Miss Su, this is my house. Madam specially explained the gift to you."
Wu Shi was originally a girl from a wealthy family, so the things she sent would not be too vague, and You Jin naturally did not refuse: "I also ask my little brother to help me thank my wife for the reward." You Jin also knows that he is a little girl of this level. Hello, there is nothing to do, so I won't be able to see the Wu family, so naturally I won't worry about this trivial matter, and let the people around me take the Qin Mansion's boxing and leave.
After giving boxing gifts to customers with business dealings, Youjin began to prepare boxing gifts for his own workers: two moon cakes and five catties of pork. As for selling to the Su family, those who live and eat in the Su family will replace the five catties of pork with fine cotton material of the same price.
"How much do these things cost?" Seeing the pile of boxing gifts, Xiaozhu couldn't help smacking her tongue: "Eldest sister, you are too generous!"
After Young Jin had counted the correct number, he said with a smile, "It's a good thing to win over people's hearts, but it's worth spending a little money to stabilize the hearts of dozens of people in our family. Now, no amount of money can be exchanged for it, and the family and talent can be prosperous, do you understand Xiaozhu?"
In the past two years of opening a dim sum shop in Luohe Prefecture, although Youzhu is not often in the previous shop, I have met a lot of people, and I have a little understanding of the importance of disciplining people, so I am naturally very educated: "I understand now, ma'am."
Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on Xiaozhu's face, Xiaojin nodded and said no more. She knew that Xiaozhu was a smart little girl, and she could stop everything.
Youjin attaches great importance to the upbringing of several younger sisters, whether it is reading and writing, dealing with others, or even strengthening their physique. She taught herself what she could do, and paid someone to teach her what she could not understand. Su Shi has never been involved in the education of her children from beginning to end. After several years, she has long known that if several daughters are like her, then something big will happen in the future, although Young Jin is more than ordinary girls. The family is stronger, but it will never be bullied.
***
After the busy days before the festival, the Su family also set up a family banquet on Mid-Autumn Festival. The master and servant gathered together and enjoyed a sumptuous Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
"I didn't know the moon when I was young, and it was called a white jade plate. I also suspected the Yaotai mirror and flew in the blue clouds." After the family banquet, all the servants dispersed, leaving only the ten members of the Su family sitting in the pavilion in the backyard to admire the moon. Under the instigation of several sisters, Xiao Qi's tender and crisp voice spread in the quiet night, standing upright, with his hands folded in front of him, just like a little lady. Mr. Magnolia taught her the poetry she had memorized.
After memorizing it, she held her proud little chest and looked at her mother and sisters with a "please praise me" expression. After getting the unanimous affirmation of the latter, she smiled and sat back to Young Jin's side.
The Su family's moon viewing activities continued until the second watch, and the little ones couldn't bear the sleepiness, and were so confused that they couldn't keep their eyes open. Young Jin was holding Xiao Ba, who was breathing steadily and soundly asleep, in his arms, and Kang Er was also asleep in Su Shi's arms.
"It's more revealing, everyone is sleepy, it's better to go back and rest early!" Su shi whispered, and several big ones nodded after listening. Youjin recruited women specially assigned to take care of the children: "Take the girls and Kang'er back to sleep, be careful not to catch a cold."
"Yes." Several women took five, six, seven, eighty-four girls and young masters who had already fallen asleep from their master's arms, and even wrapped a thin cloak on them to protect them from the night wind.
The night became more and more quiet, and everyone in the Su family dispersed.
After bathing, You Jin wore a fine cotton t-shirt with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and corners. She sat on the kang by the window and looked through the glazed window sill at the bright moonlight outside. They have all stopped, and only the room where Young Jin lives is still lit with bright candles.
Xu Shi was a little disappointed after the excitement. You Jin thought of the man who had lived in his house for more than two months. After disturbing a pool of spring water, he really disappeared as soon as he left, so he could not help but scolded secretly: If you know it, charge him more money!"
And the person she is thinking about is now sitting alone under the moon, drinking fine wine a little drunk, and raising the glass with red cheeks to invite the moon to drink together: "Raise the glass to invite the bright moon, and treat the wine into three people. I'm afraid it's just you and me tonight."
When Xiao Linfeng escaped from the banquet in the front yard and sneaked into the backyard quietly, he only saw his brother, who was usually like an exiled immortal, was sitting on the ground, leaning against the rockery and pouring his own drink, looking from the back, it was a little bit strange. Lonely, the little white jade dumplings were crumpled into a bun: "Brother, how much alcohol have you been drinking? What about the servants in your yard? Why is there no one serving you?"
Listening to the little brother's concerned thoughts, Xiao Linyu smiled: "It's okay, brother is in a good mood tonight, why did you sneak out of the banquet?" After that, she poured another glass of wine into the white jade cup and drank it all in one gulp. The combination of spicy and mellow stimulated the taste buds, making him sigh involuntarily: "It really is a good wine!"
Xiao Linfeng has never seen his elder brother so rude, so he sat down beside him with some worry: "Brother, why don't I ask someone to wait for you to rest?"
Xiao Linyu shook his head, looked at his worried younger brother, and sighed, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Xiao Linfeng tilted his head with a sad look on his face. As soon as his brother arrived home yesterday, he was called to the main room by his ancestors. From the sun in the west until the moon came out, the sandalwood door of the main room slowly opened, and he was in high spirits in the past. The elder brother was a little dejected, and he didn't talk to anyone, and went back to his own courtyard. Tonight was originally a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, but my brother was drunk here alone, and no one in the family came to look for him. What happened to Xiao Linfeng is naturally unknown, but he, who has always been mischievous, sat obediently beside his brother and guarded him without saying a word.
"Linfeng, have you ever thought about what you're going to do in the future?" I don't know how long it took, Xiao Linfeng was so sleepy that he nodded again and again, and Xiao Linyu, who had never spoken, asked lightly.
He nodded again, and woke up after hearing his brother's words. He rubbed his eyes and thought for a while, but he couldn't come up with anything, and finally shook his head: "I don't know..." He Pampered since childhood, the next head of the Xiao family is the elder brother. Even if he drinks and has fun every day, he can be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. Hearing his elder brother ask this question suddenly, he is really a little confused, and he doesn't know how to answer.
Glancing at his younger brother, Xiao Linyu shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, go back to sleep." After that, he beckoned to Xiao Linfeng's book boy who was standing not far away: "Take the young master back. Take a break!"
Song Yan saluted and said yes, and then helped Xiao Linfeng, who was already trapped in a ball, out of the Jinyan Courtyard, leaving only Xiao Linyu, who was seven points drunk, to drink alone for a month.
