Chapter 38

Shen Hui remained silent.

Da Ya said again: "His face is thicker than the city wall. You must not recruit him. It is best not to pay attention to it. It is a dog skin plaster. If you accidentally get it on, you will not be able to shake it off."

Shen Hui pasted a dozen pancakes, put the lid on the pot, and said, "Last time, he came with uncle. It's been half a month, and nothing happened. I think he won't come again."

"It's hard to say. After he returned to the village, he told people everywhere that you treated him so well, and even said that he must marry you as his wife!"

Shen Hui was stunned, "Did I? But why didn't uncle tell me about this?"

Da Ya said: "My father is running around outside all day long, and he has no time to spare. Besides, Wu Laohan always likes to talk crazy things. As time goes by, the people in the village don't take it seriously and just think that what he says is crazy. But I don’t think this is good, so you’d better be careful.”

"Well, I don't go out, I just walk around my house. If I see him coming, I will hide in the house at worst, and he will leave."

Da Ya didn't say anything, anyway, she reminded her.

Huo Lin also got up early in the morning, but he didn't dare to come in. Xiao Shen's courtyard was full of girls, so he was ashamed.

After Erya washed up, she went to the kitchen and squatted. When the pancakes were ready, she took one in each hand and squatted outside the courtyard to eat.

Huo Lin stood at the door of his house, glanced at her, and murmured in his heart, why didn't Sister Hui ask him to come over for breakfast?
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Qing came out with a bamboo plaque and said, "Come here, take it back and eat it."

Huo Lin immediately laughed, "No need to take so much, just take less!"

Shen Qing pushed the bamboo plaque to him and said with a smile: "If you can't finish eating in the morning, you can eat it when it's hot at noon. We're leaving. You can take two and eat slowly on the way."

"Okay!" Huo Lin ran home with the bamboo plaque and put it on the table in the hall, "Brother, I'm leaving."

"Wait, bring this to her." Huo Yunzhou took out the land deed.

"what is this?"

"She understands it when she sees it."

"Oh!" Huo Lin didn't think much, took it and ran away.

After a while, Shen Qing came over holding the land deed with a complicated look on his face, "Brother Huo, what does this mean?"

Huo Yunzhou changed into a capable bunt, and he still carried a bundle in his hand, "The land deeds of the two houses, if you take Huo Lin to do business, it will be considered as the shares of the Huo family."

Shen Qing originally wanted to politely refuse, but then he thought about it, both sides would not suffer in this matter.

Previously, she wanted to give Huolin a share because she was new to this place and had no one to help her, so Huolin was especially important.

But now, she seems to have no shortage of people. Huolin's role is to run errands, spread news and deliver goods. She can hire someone to do this job. And after observing during this period, she found that Huolin is not very talented in business. .

Therefore, after a slight hesitation, she accepted it. Of course, she also had to explain, "It is also possible to invest in land deeds, but you can only invest [-]%. I have to reduce costs. I also pay the price for the fish my uncle sent me." It will be like this in the future, so this percentage is quite a lot."

She was afraid that Huo Yunzhou would dislike Yicheng too little and say that she was stingy.

But if we take a long-term view, 1000 taels, 1 taels, 10% of [-] taels, is it still less?
Huo Yunzhou was amused by her serious expression, thinking that this girl was really good at calculating, "It's all up to you."

These three words made Shen Qing feel like being stung by a bee, numb and itchy.

In order to get rid of this feeling, she pretended to be serious and said, "I'll ask someone to write you a deed later. Let's write it down in black and white."

"No, I trust you."

Shen Qing was stung by a bee again. This time she blushed, gave him a roll of her eyes and ran away.

When she ran home with her face flushed, she saw Da Ya and the others were ready, Huo Lin was responsible for carrying the load, and Shen Hui stood at the door to see them off.

"Qing'er, why are you face so red?"

"It's hot, hurry up and go."

"Be careful on the road!"

Although the burden was not heavy, it was tiring after carrying it for a long time, so Daya changed it with him.

She has great strength and often does heavy work, so the weight is nothing.

Erya happily ran ahead, picking lace and asking, "Are we really going to my aunt's house?"

"Go and have a look and then come back, don't wait too long." This was what Daya said.

Huo Lin asked casually: "Your aunt also lives in the town? Sister Qing, why didn't I hear you mention it?"

Shen Qing also fooled around, "My aunt's family is also having a hard time, so I don't want to disturb her."

"Oh!" Hearing this, Huo Lin thought that Aunt Cao's family must be living in poverty, but when he saw the two tall and magnificent red-lacquered doors, he was still shocked, "Isn't this difficult?"

He couldn't close his mouth in shock, but looking at the expressions of the three girls, they all had the same expression.

Erya stood at the end, playing with a wild flower picked by the roadside with her head down, but she didn't look up.

Da Ya also looked left and right, but she didn't look at the Meng family's house anyway.

Shen Qing originally wanted her to knock on the door, but she had to do it herself.

"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. If you don't have a rich family, you will definitely live a good life. Don't talk nonsense later, and don't go in. Just wait outside. We will be out soon." Da Ya said quickly.

Erya said anxiously: "Then I won't go in. I'll wait outside with Brother Xiao Lin."

Da Ya glared at her, "No, Second Aunt is very particular, don't tell her to turn around and tell Dad that you are ignorant and have no rules."

Someone came to open the door, and a young servant poked his head out from the crack of the door, looking at them, "You are... oh, the lady's natal girls, right?"

Shen Qing said politely: "Yes, is my aunt here?"

The boy opened the door and said, "At this time, I should have just finished praying to the Buddha and returned to the east courtyard to have breakfast. You guys, please come here."

Shen Qing's mouth twitched violently, he turned around and exchanged glances with Da Ya, probably Da Ya had the same thoughts as her.

Her aunt, Da Ya's aunt, Cao Xuemei.

She is a one-in-a-million beauty. I heard that she was almost favored by a draft eunuch back then and wanted to enter the palace to be a concubine, but for some reason, it didn't work out.

He was also spotted by the Meng family in Qingquan Town and filled a house for Mr. Meng.

That's right, it's Mr. Meng, who is a certain age. Mrs. Meng fell ill in the early years. Mr. Meng is not very old, so naturally he has to continue.

Since ancient times, the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside.

If the inner house does not have a mistress who is in charge of the house, it will definitely not be able to run, and even the concubines will have to rebel.

For some reason, Master Meng took a fancy to the second daughter of the Cao family, promised a lot of betrothal gifts, and carried her in eight palanquins.

One could say that the marriage was done well, but for some reason, this relative was weird inside and out.

The adults always kept things secret, and the children naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Shen Qing only met Master Meng once, and that was when her mother brought her to deliver things. Looking at it from a distance, she was young at that time, and only thought that this uncle's smile was so ugly, and he was too old.

As for why the three of them resisted coming to Meng's house, this matter will be discussed later.

After twisting and turning, Erya was dizzy, and was led to the so-called East Courtyard by the servant.

In fact, according to Shen Qing's inspection, they were all similar, just one yard after another, planted with ordinary flowers, plants and trees.

I heard that the Meng family has been defeated in recent years. It can be seen from this courtyard that it has not been repaired for a long time.

Da Ya couldn't see it, and murmured softly, "I'm so poor, these gardens should be planted with wheat, rapeseed, flowers and plants, which can neither be eaten nor drunk, what's the use!"
