The second aunt turned the bookkeeping book to a page and handed it to Liu Qiqiao to let her read it.
Liu Qiqiao glanced at it and saw that there were more than ten items recorded from top to bottom, "On the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month, the fifth auntie bought fifty taels of ginseng, and rewarded the mid-wife, the nanny waited twenty taels. The twelfth lunar month 20 Fifth, Aunt Wu bought a set of golden locks, two hundred and twenty-four taels. On the twenty-sixth lunar month, Aunt Wu bought three hundred taels of bird's nest..."
For a long walk, they were all Wu Yiniang. Since she was in confinement, she had spent a thousand taels of silver.
"This is just the beginning. Take a look. We have a silk and satin shop in our house. Besides, the clothes made by the aunts are good enough for the young master. But you see, there are a lot of outfits for the young master. He is just a baby without a full moon. This... Wife is a waste, but, as you know, this young master is the eyeball of our Shen family. Now, from the old lady, the madam, to the eldest master, which one is not painful. It seems that this was born with a golden spoon in it. It’s not an exaggeration to wear gold and silver, but it’s just that this flower item will be changed a day, I am... I like it, but they grow fast and don't need to make so many things, don't you think?"
Liu Qiqiao listened to what the second aunt had said, and had to accompany him with a wry smile: "This... Let's talk to the young master!"
"So I called my sister, Qiqiao, what you say, maybe the young master will listen, if I say, I am afraid of being misunderstood by him, I am jealous of his partiality, you know, I also have two children, I , It's really hard to speak..." said the second sister.
If someone else said this, Liu Qiqiao might think that she was trying to discriminate, but if the second aunt said this, Liu Qiqiao knew that she really did it for the sake of the Shen family.
"In fact, if it were the original, it would not be a big deal to spend this money, but Qiqiao, you know, the last time, almost all the savings in the family were used to save the young master, and now it is the first one to spend. The sum of money is all the income from the recent store. If you spend it in this way, it is really close to making ends meet!" said Er Yi Niang.
Liu Qiqiao nodded, it is not easy to earn this money, and he has the most say, "Well, I will find a chance to talk to the young master. As for whether he will listen to me, I will also take it. Not allowed!"
The second aunt was very happy to hear her saying this, and she personally filled Liu Qiqiao’s cup with tea: "My sister said, he must listen to the young master. Now in the mansion, we are all watching, although Aunt Zhou has now given birth to a son. , Took the lead, but the younger sister is still different in the heart of the young master!"
Liu Qiqiao was stunned, where did he start with these words: "Why, the young master is still the same to everyone!"
The second sister-in-law smiled: "He treats you differently from us. My younger sister and older sister are old, with Nian Cinian En, and there is no desire to fight for favor. I know that the eldest grandfather looked at me high, nothing more than a look. For the face of my lady, as well as the face of the child, I am a stupid and stupid person, but I can also see that the eyes of the eldest master are only on you. My sister, Aunt Zhou is now taking over Don’t let go of the eldest master, don’t be discouraged, you are young, and the good days with the eldest master are still to come. Besides, if you get pregnant again and give birth to one and a half sons and a half, then there will be no Aunt Zhou. It’s something people love!"
Liu Qiqiao listened to her, knowing that what she was saying was for her own good, for her own sake, but she felt very ear-piercing.
On the night of the New Year’s Eve, everyone stayed together, watched the fireworks and ate midnight dumplings. Shen Yunong followed the rules and went to his wife Huangfu Haoyue’s place. The aunts and aunts were gone. Aunt Zhou was still sitting on the moon. Zi, has been in her yard, and Shen Yunong personally went to see his son and Aunt Zhou. Although Aunt Zhou kept staying, he still walked out of the beauty of Haitang on the grounds that the rules could not be broken.
On the road between the two courtyards, Shen Yunong hesitated and looked in the direction of Tingxiang Xiaozhu. This is Liu Qiqiao’s first year in Shen’s house. He originally wanted to be with her, but When she was eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, she didn’t even look at her. The other aunts wished he could take one or two glances. However, she hid, only pulling Yuan Qiluo and talking and laughing, Shen Yunong was actually there. During the meal, I didn't say a word to her.
Fortunately, she had Yuan Qiluo as the company, so she wouldn't feel deserted on this New Year's Eve. Shen Yunong sighed and walked towards Huangfu Haoyue's Zhiqingzhai.
Listening to Xiangxiaozhuli, Liu Qiqiao didn’t know that Shen Yunong’s mood just turned over and over again. She did deliberately avoid Shen Yunong’s eyes at the family banquet. Since she can’t give it all, she doesn’t want to be wronged either. Accepted tactfully. Fortunately, there is also Yuan Qiluo, this night, she does not feel alone. Yuan Qiluo was very knowledgeable and very speculative with her. The two of them leaned together and squeezed in front of the window to watch the fireworks outside. They went back to the ** until the night sky was quiet and there was no light. It was very warm, Lan Xiang thoughtfully covered them with Tang Po. There were red dates, longans, peanuts, melon seeds and other dried fruits beside the pillow. The two of them grabbed and ate while chatting.
"The original fireworks of the Shen family are amazing. You can see your fireworks in half of the capital. This year, only the fireworks of the Shen family have been displayed. The year is over! That grand occasion can only be compared in the palace! "Yuan Qiluo said as he recalled.
"Perhaps it is because of this that the Shen family has this disaster. The heights are too cold. If the Shen family had expected it, don't be so perverse, for fear that it won't be rectified, so that it will fall into the family!" Liu Qiqiao said.
"This time, Shen Yunong will probably learn well. Look, the fireworks didn't show much, but in half an hour, it's over!" Yuan Qiluo smiled.
Liu Qiqiao said: "In this way, there are still people who think it is wasteful. Let's not hide from Sister Yuan, the original Shen family, I just heard that the Shen family now is indeed not as good as it was in the past. This is true. Second auntie, I just asked me to complain the other half of the day..." Liu Qiqiao told Yuan Qiluo what the second auntie had said. She had no mother’s instructions, nor did any of her sisters say these things. Only Yuan Qiluo was a close friend, Luo. Snorted.
Yuan Qiluo listened and nodded: "Second Auntie is really hardworking. I know that Auntie Zhou. It was a miracle in Beijing that Shen Yunong's daughter bought her. Shen Yunong bought her a daughter for her. It’s not surprising. Now, it makes sense to spoil her son like this. After all, he was nearly 30 years old before he got this son. However, if the second aunt said, this kind of spoiling would continue. It's not a good thing, you really have to persuade him!"
Liu Qiqiao nodded and ate a lot of meat and vegetables in the evening. His mouth was greasy, so he poured tea. The two of them were drinking and talking. It was halfway through the night, but there was no sleepiness at all.
"By the way, Qiqiao, do you know that Lin Pingmo asked me for leave a year ago. It must have been a few days, and I haven't seen him. I don't know where he went? I always feel like he is a stranger. Yes, if it wasn't yours, I would have doubted his identity!" Yuan Qiluo said suddenly.
"He had asked for leave!" Liu Qiqiao responded indifferently. No wonder he went to the store several times before and didn't see him.
"Is he not at home in the capital? He is going home for the New Year, right? His man is so dull, I can't ask anything, so I just don't ask! Just give it a fake!" Yuan Qiluo said.
"His family..." Liu Qiqiao thought in a daze. When it comes to the family, the emperor in the palace is Lin Pingmo's father, but he doesn't recognize it. Besides, does he have family? An Jieyu died a few years ago. Does he have any other relatives
Lin Pingmo is making his home in Jiangnan at this time.
To be precise, it is the ruins of the Anjia mansion.
After Anjia was defeated, there was an unknown fire, and everything was destroyed.
Lin Pingmo stood in what used to be an ancestral hall. Behind him, he followed more than a dozen entourages, all dressed up as ordinary people. In fact, they were all people with great status.
Someone handed a stick of incense to Lin Pingmo, he held it, and bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall for three times, and then inserted the incense into the ground in front of him.
As he knelt to pray, someone came over, and when he got up, he leaned behind him and whispered in his ear: "General An has arrived."
Lin Pingmo nodded, and bowed again, and everyone behind him also bowed three times.
Half an hour later, in the backyard of the Nanfu Inspectorate, Lin Pingmo met with his uncle, the son of General An Da.
When the two met, he was a seven-foot man, and cried with a headache.
When An Ziwen saw that his nephew looked too similar to the late An Jieyu, his sister, he couldn't help but feel painful: "Mo'er, if your mother knows that you are so tall, you must be very happy. !"
Lin Pingmo's eyes were red and he was holding back his heartache. He could no longer cry, and there were more important things waiting for him to do: "My mother will not die in vain, I will definitely find the person who killed her..."
"It killed her? Ling Zhengyuan was the first one!" An Ziwen said. Ling Zhengyuan in his mouth was the current emperor.
Lin Pingmo nodded: "I know, if it weren't for him, my mother and concubine would not be depressed for so many years!"
Someone heard his words and gave a long scream outside. Seeing Lin Pingmo's surprise, An Ziwen said to him: "Mo'er, I'll introduce someone to you. If you get this person, your big business is It's halfway!" After he finished speaking, he shouted out: "Brother Zhong, please come in!"
Someone lifted the curtains and came in. Lin Pingmo looked at him. This man was of the right size, finely dressed, and there seemed to be a gloom between his brows and eyes, a pair of eyes, sadness and misery, he saw Lin Pingmo, his lips were slight. Shaking, he said for a long time: "You really look too much like Fuer..."
Lin Pingmo was stunned, his mother and concubine An Jieyu, with a single name.
