Begonia Courtyard

San Yiniang looked at the two thousand taels of silver bills on the table in front of her and remembered what Yueniang said when she came

"This is the wife's personal self. It is used by the third young master to get married. The wife said that although she will not worry about food and accommodation after marriage, there are many other places where money is used. It is also her aunt's heart."

Thinking of this, San Yiniang lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

The two siblings, Zhuang Xinzhong and Zhuang Minglan, who were sitting next to her, were a little flustered when they saw their mother like this. Fourteen-year-old Zhuang Minglan stroked her mother's back and said softly, "Mother, it's alright, why are you crying again, sad, mother Just be careful with your body."

The two brothers and sisters in front of them were instructed by San Yiniang, they only dared to call her Auntie, but in private, they still called her directly.

San Yiniang wiped away her tears and said, "My wife has always been so kind to us, but I always break her heart. The better she treats me, the more guilt I feel."

Zhuang Xinzhong next to him sighed deeply, "Mother, in fact, why are you always at the mercy of Erniang and against auntie? Erniang and the others are indeed going too far."

Like forcing Miss Fang to remarry him this time, she was originally the future head wife, but became his wife, the difference is not a little bit...

When San Yiniang heard her son's rebuke, she felt guilty and aggrieved, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

"I also know that the second concubine is too much, but what can I do? The wife is capable, trusted by the master, and in charge of the huge house. Those who want to retire, when the time comes, everything in the Zhuang family will fall into the hands of the second room, Xin Zhong..." San Yiniang raised her head and looked at her son with tears in her eyes: "Whether your life will be better in the future depends on your second Yiniang's words. If I don't listen to her, she will hold her grudges in her heart. Minglan is better off after she is married, but what about you? What are you going to do? It's too late for my wife to worry about Xinyan, how can I still have the ability and energy to take care of you?"

Nobuyada gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Mother, I don't need their care, I am a dignified man who can take care of myself!" He held his mother's hand, "Son only hopes that my mother will not do those things that go against her heart in the future and make myself uncomfortable! "

Zhuang Minglan also wiped away her tears, her pale face infinitely cowardly.

"Zhong'er, how can it be so easy..." San Yiniang burst into tears, "You can't study, and you will only be in business in your life. If you don't follow them, how can you find a way out in the banker? My son is not a child. Man, I don't want you to live like those servants, I want you to be the third young master of the banker. And all the hope lies in the second room. "

"If at that time, they really can't tolerate me, I'll just go out, I don't believe it, I can't support my wife and children!" Zhuang Xinzhong stood up.

Mr. Zhuang was the most opposed to the separation of the family before his death, so the will he made had a stipulation that the banker was not allowed to separate the family unless there was an accident. Divide into one. Under this condition, the second room is definitely not willing to separate the family, so if Nobu Zhong is really not allowed to be with them in the future, he can only go out of the house.

This was the last result San Yiniang wanted to see.

"Are you worried about the dead mother?" San Yiniang patted the table, beating her chest. Zhuang Minglan quickly rubbed her mother's chest, crying and said, "Mother, don't be sad." Then she looked up at Zhuang Xinzhong: "Brother, don't blame your mother. Mother is all for us."

Seeing his mother crying sadly, and regretting his words and deeds very much, Nobu Zhong sat down again, patted his mother's back, and comforted: "It's the son's fault, mother calm down. If mother is angry, beat your son to vent your anger, don't hurt yourself. body of."

"How could mother be angry with you?" San Yiniang raised her head, held her son's and daughter's hands, and smiled in tears, "You are the most important people to mother."

Both Zhuang Xinzhong and Zhuang Minglan clenched their mother's hand.

At this time, the voice of the maid's announcement came, "Second concubine is here!"

Surprised, San Yiniang let go of her children's hands and subconsciously took the silver note into her arms.

The door curtain was lifted, and Er Yiniang walked in with a maid with a smile, "If you come to disturb my sister at this time, my sister won't be offended!"

The third Yiniang got up quickly, bowed her head and bent over to walk in front of the second Yiniang, and said respectfully: "What is the meaning of my sister, it is a blessing for my sister to be able to see her."

Zhuang Xinzhong and Zhuang Minglan also got up and saluted the second concubine.

The second concubine first glanced at Zhuang Xinzhong, then turned her head and pulled Zhuang Minglan back, looked up and down with a smile, "Oh, before I knew it, Minglan was already so big, and her appearance was like a flower. The wife will give me the affairs of the inner house. , but I neglected..."

Having said that, Er Yiniang turned to look at San Yiniang and said with a half-smile, "It's time to find a husband for Minglan too!"

The third Yiniang was startled, raised her head to look at the second Yiniang, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, while Zhuang Minglan lowered her head shyly. Seeing this, Zhuang Xinzhong wanted to take Ming Lan out.

Before the two could walk out of the door, Er Yiniang stopped them, "Don't leave yet..."

As she spoke, she sat down on the seat of her own accord, with a vague smile on her face, "I'm here today, and I have good news for you!" As she spoke, her eyes fell on Zhuang Minglan. On that pretty face, "It's about Minglan, Minglan, but Erniang wants to congratulate you!"

On the second day of the Li Xiucai incident, Qin Tian did not go to the lobby to greet the guests. Before noon every day, she stayed with the eldest wife and Yueniang to serve the eldest lady. When the eldest lady and the shopkeeper were in charge of the tea shop, they did not avoid Qin Tian. After noon, the wife asked Qin Tian to go to the tea house to watch the masters make tea, and did not leave with the eldest wife until dusk.

In half a month, Qin Tian learned that Shengshi's business was bigger than she thought, and the retail business in the lobby was only a very small part of Shengshi. The most important thing for Shengshi was to collect tea, process it, and then deliver it to all parts of the country.

To open a tea shop, you need to get the approval of the government and get the photobook. The government prohibits the establishment of tea shops without permission. And every time a tea shop sells tea, he must get a tea lead, so Shengshi has a close relationship with the local government. Although Er Yiniang's brother-in-law, Mr. Hu, only knows the state, he is very good at working in the official circles, and he has something to do with receiving tea leads. relationship, the eldest wife dare not offend easily. This is also the reason why the status of the second room has risen among the dealers in recent years.

This morning, shopkeeper Xu came in and said to the eldest wife, "Madam, the 24th of this month is the birthday of the Governor's favorite concubine. How should you prepare, Madam?"

The eldest wife said, "Let's find out what the concubine likes, choose a delicate and precious gift to send to her, and make sure she can't put it down. Add 30% to this example and give it to the governor's wife as well." After speaking, the eldest wife turned He glanced at Qin Tian and said, "If the concubine is happy, the wind on the pillow will be smoother, and the wife is happy, and her heart will be at ease. When dealing with people in the officialdom, you don't seek merits but faults, and you have to cover everything. .Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may plant a curse on yourself."

Qin Tian was suspicious, what did his wife say to him? From this, I think that my wife seems to be slowly cultivating herself during this period of time. In this way, as long as you work hard enough, you won't have to worry about not getting ahead. Thinking of this, Qin Tian's heart couldn't help thumping. In addition to being excited, he was also full of gratitude to the eldest wife.

Shopkeeper Xu took orders. Soon, Zhuang Xinzhong walked in in a chaotic manner.

When the eldest wife saw him, she smiled and asked Qin Tian to pour tea and watch the seat. After Zhuang Xinzhong sat down, the eldest wife asked with a smile, "Xinzhong, how's your journey?"

Zhuang Xinzhong took the handkerchief that Yueniang handed over, wiped his face, and said, "Thank you, Auntie Yue." He took a sip of the tea handed over by Qin Tian, ​​and then returned to the eldest wife's words: "It was a long journey. It went well. I came back as soon as the tea arrived, and nothing went wrong."

"You are an honest child, I don't worry about the things that are in your hands. Originally, your wedding date was imminent, and the aunt didn't want you to run this trip, but your child has to go. Fortunately, nothing went wrong and the wedding date was delayed. "The eldest lady said again.

Zhuang Xinzhong was in charge of the trafficking in the tea shop, and he often traveled around the world throughout the year, but it was precisely this that gave him a lot of knowledge.

"Thank you for your concern," he lowered his head and clenched the teacup with both hands when he spoke, his voice was slow and deep.

The eldest wife thought he was tired, so she smiled and said, "Okay, looking at you, you are also tired. You should go back and rest first."

"Auntie..." Zhuang Xinzhong suddenly raised his head, looked at the eldest wife, and called out in a low voice, as if he was hesitating to speak.

The eldest wife was taken aback, "Nobu Zhong, but what's the matter?"

Zhuang Xinzhong lowered his head again, "No...no..." He handed the teacup in his hand to Qin Tian. When Qin Tian took it, he felt his fingers trembling, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion. .

Zhuang Xinzhong stood up, said goodbye to the eldest wife, and turned to go out.

Qin Tian sent him outside the door, looking at his back, he always felt that he seemed to have something on his mind.

She didn't care much at the time, but she didn't expect that, not long after, something big happened in the tea shop...
