Chapter 33 New Year's Eve

When Yuxi heard that Fang's mother said that she had recognized Xiao Wei as her goddaughter, her face changed slightly, and she no longer reminded vaguely, but said directly: "Is this family reliable? Could it be because of your craftsmanship, mother?" What?" Earning thirty or forty taels of silver a month is nothing to the master of the Duke's Mansion, but it is a very attractive income for ordinary people.

Fang's mother shook her head quickly: "No, they didn't ask me to take in an apprentice. I like that child myself, so I came up with this idea."

Yuxi said bluntly: "Mom, I don't agree." It's not that Yuxi doesn't want Mama Fang to recognize her as a goddaughter, but she doesn't believe Mama Fang's eyes on people.

Mother Fang still wanted to fight for it, and said, "Girl, Xiaowei's family is also quite wealthy, and they won't covet my craftsmanship." She almost said that Yuxi was careless.

Mother Fang thinks this way, mainly because she thinks this skill is nothing special, and it's not worth being calculated like this.

Yuxi sighed slightly in her heart, and said, "Mom, I'll accompany you to a nursery home to adopt one after a while. Mom, a child raised since childhood is more reassuring than an apprentice who came along halfway." Paused After a while, Yuxi said again: "In case the adopted child is heartless, mom still has me, and I will give mom a pension."

Mother Fang was heartbroken, and said, "Girl, I just saw that Xiaowei looked like my daughter who died young. Since the girl said she was unreliable, then forget it." Her husband died in the second year of her life, and her daughter died when she was four years old.

Yuxi felt a little guilty: "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned these things." She could say it more tactfully.

Mother Fang shook her head: "I know the girl is doing it for my own good. It's just that the store is very busy right now, and I don't have time to take care of the child for the time being. I'll wait two or three years before I adopt a child in a nursery." Although opening a shop now makes money, But one day you will get old, what will you do when you get old? Adopting a child will help you when you are old, and you will not be lonely.

Yuxi responded: "Okay."

Mother Fang almost forgot the business of this visit: "Girl, I want to rent the shop next door to expand the store. How about asking two more people to help?" At first, Mother Fang's steamed stuffed bun shop only sold steamed stuffed buns. It's just that now, in addition to selling buns and steamed buns, it also sells other noodles, which taste very good, and the business hours have changed from morning to day, which is why the profit is increasing.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Mom, if your body breaks down, no amount of money will make it up." It's not worth it for Fang's mother to break down her body for that little money.

After persuading for a while, Mother Fang finally gave up the idea of ​​expanding the bun shop.

The two talked until noon, Yuxi left Mama Fang after lunch, and gave Mama Fang a lot of things when she left. Now Yuxi is loved by the Qiu family, although she is not rich in money, she is good at clothes and food.

The rough envoy woman Yuxi bought, and Mrs. An hurried out of the shop when she heard the sound of the carriage. He opened the carriage and saw that the carriage was full of things, his face was full of joy.

Things moved into the house. Mrs. An saw two bolts of blue cloth inside. One was crow-blue, the other lilac.

Touching the two pieces of material, Mrs. An couldn't put it down, and said in a low voice: "A piece of such good material costs several taels of silver!" She has never worn such a good material.

Mrs. An used to be the maid of a merchant family. This merchant offended someone and went to jail, and all the servants in the family were sold out one by one. It happened that Yuxi asked Xiangyang to help buy a powerful rough woman, so Xiangyang bought her. She and Fang's mother have been together for more than half a year, and their relationship is like that of sisters.

Mother Fang smiled and said: "The two pieces of material are rewarded by the girl, and you can also make two new clothes." Mother Fang has already got two sets of new clothes, one of which is a leather jacket.

Mrs. An felt sore when she heard this. Where did her family wear such good materials before: "If you can find my wife and child,

Also let them enjoy the happiness with me. "Ms. An has a husband and a child, but the family of three sold them separately. She hasn't found them for more than half a year, and every month's monthly money is spent on finding people. Unfortunately, there is no news yet. .

Mother Fang also sympathized with Mrs. An's experience: "Don't worry, you will find them one day." The capital is so big, it is not so easy to find this person. If the name is changed, it will be more difficult to find.

Mrs. An nodded, and asked again: "Sister Fang, did you agree to the apprenticeship?" Xiaowei's family was very warm to Fang's mother, but they were not so polite to her, the servant she bought. People in front are one way and people behind are another. Mrs. An tried to expose it several times but failed. When she saw that Fang's mother wanted to teach Xiao Wei the skill of making steamed buns, she was really anxious, and hurriedly said that this matter was so important that the girl agreed. Fortunately, Mother Fang was convinced of the girl, and finally adopted her suggestion. Mrs. An only hoped that the girl was smart enough to guess that Xiaowei's family had good intentions.

Mother Fang shook her head and said, "The girl didn't agree. She said that this craft can only be passed on to her own children, not to outsiders." In the future, the adopted children's own will be counted as their own.

Mrs. An said in surprise: "My own child? What does this mean?"

Fang's mother repeated what Yuxi said: "I also want to raise a child, and I will have someone to rely on when I get old. But I am so busy now that I don't have time to take care of the child. Let's talk about it in two years."

Mrs. An couldn't help admiring: "Young lady is so kind to my mother." Generally, the women who are released have some face, so they should reward them with more money. Who thinks so well for Fang's mother like Fourth Miss. Even she, a bystander, was moved when she saw it. Of course, with such a master, I feel at ease.

Fang's mother likes to hear others praise Yuxi, and said with a smile: "Yes, the girl is a kind-hearted person."

Mrs. An felt that the fourth girl was also very powerful. I didn't look at the girl and I didn't even meet Xiaowei's family, so I knew that this family was not bad and kind, but what was it?

Mother Fang didn't take this matter at ease, "Just say that the girl doesn't allow it." Although she let go of her body contract, Mother Fang still treated Yuxi as her master.

Mrs. An nodded hurriedly: "Sister Fang, you are right. Since the girl doesn't allow it, there is nothing you can do." With such a master with a background, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

Mother Fang sorted out the things she brought out from the Duke's Mansion, and then divided the cakes into several portions to send to the neighbors next door. Although Fang's mother is not good at intrigue, she is very kind and gets along well with everyone around her. As for Xiaowei's family, Mother Fang felt a little guilty and brought a gift to the door in person.

Xiaowei's family was very annoyed when they got the news. But they didn't dare to offend Fang's mother, so they just took the matter away.

In a blink of an eye, it's the Chinese New Year. Children hope to celebrate the New Year most, but adults dislike it the most, because there are too many things to do. Qiu Shi has been busy since the twelfth lunar month, and has been busy until the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month without taking a breath.

On New Year's Eve, Mrs. Han and Mrs. Guo Gongfu went to the palace to congratulate each other in a sedan chair for eight people in court clothes. When I came back, I went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

Yuxi is the girl in the mansion, and she doesn't need to go to the ancestral hall at other times except when she goes to the ancestral hall.

The New Year's Eve dinner is held in the main hall. This evening, everyone from my family came. The second master of the South Korean government, Han Jingjun's family who has been separated, also came.

The second master Han Jingjun is a concubine, and his biological mother is the old concubine of the old country, and also the niece of Mrs. Tai who has gone first. Han Jingjun's biological mother used to rely on Mrs. Tai and the old Duke to toss the old lady a lot, and even wanted to compete for the position of the son, which made the old lady hate her deeply. It's a pity that Han Jingjun's biological mother died too early, and the old man left his last words when he died, saying that he would let Han Jingjun move out after July 7.

Although the old lady did not retaliate against Han Jingjun's family, the whole family returned to their hometown to observe their filial piety. Waiting for three years to come back, it would not be appropriate for her to do it again. So in these years, except when they come back to worship the ancestors during the Chinese New Year, the old lady will not let them come to the door at other times. Naturally, their branch did not receive any help from the Duke's Mansion.

After dinner, the whole family sat together and talked. At this time, it is also the time for the elders to give red envelopes to the younger generation.

Han Jingjun's wife Ma Shi looked at Yuchen and said with a smile, "The third girl is getting longer and more beautiful." After speaking, she handed Yuchen a thick red envelope.

Yuchen looked at the old lady and saw that the old lady nodded, so she picked it up: "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Mrs. Ma praised Yuchen a few more words, and then handed the red envelope to Yuxi.

Yuxi took the red envelope, neither grateful nor disgusted, took the purse and said: "Thank you, Second Aunt." The red envelope she got was not as thick as Yuchen. I am really upset that even a red envelope has to be treated differently.

This night, Yuxi got a lot of red envelopes.

Yuxi is a girl, so she doesn't need to watch the year. When the banquet is over, she takes her maid and mother-in-law back to her yard. On this day, the road was full of lanterns, and the entire Duke's Mansion was brightly lit, so you don't need to carry lanterns when you go back.

Back at Rose Garden, Yuxi poured out all the contents in the red envelope. The red envelopes given by the old lady are the richest. Each of the six wishful gold nudes weighs one or two weights. More than one hundred taels of silver.

From the second day of junior high school, I had to visit relatives and friends. Yuxi has no mother's family, and her own father is not around, so she has no relatives she wants to visit. When she heard that Han Jianye was going to take her to Qiu's house, she was very surprised. Yuxi said: "Second brother, you are going to your grandparent's house to pay New Year's greetings, what are you asking me to do?"

Han Jianye said amusedly: "Isn't my maternal ancestor's family also your maternal ancestor's family? Let's go, why are there so many words."

Yu Xi didn't want to go, but she didn't want to just brush off the kindness of the second cousin, and said, "Second brother, does auntie know about this?"

Han Jianye sighed and said: "I told my mother, and my mother agreed. I'm leaving, but I'm just going to be a guest, so there are so many words."

Yu Xi naturally did not believe this.

Han Jianye couldn't laugh or cry: "Second brother is so untrustworthy in your heart? If you don't believe it, you can ask my mother now."

Yuxi doesn't want to go to Qiu's house, she is a girl from the second bedroom, so it's not good to go to Qiu's house so carelessly: "Second brother, that's your grandparent's house, it's not good for me to go."

Han Jianye didn't like chirping the most: "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." After leaving this sentence, he left, leaving Yuxi to stay where he was, dumbfounded.

Hongshan persuaded from the side: "Girl, it's a good thing that the second master can miss the girl." The second master is grateful for his wife's life-saving grace, and can always take care of her girl, which is her girl's good luck.

Yuxi went to the main courtyard in a blink of an eye, and talked about it with Qiu Shi: "Auntie, the second elder brother will go to my grandparent's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, so it's inappropriate for me to go with me."

Qiu touched the little hairpin on Yuxi's head, and joked: "What's inappropriate. It's just a walk around relatives' house, but you can't stay bored in the yard all the time." In fact, she felt that Yuxi was too hardworking. , She usually doesn't relax, which makes her a little embarrassed. It's good for children to work hard, but it's too hard, and she worries that Yuxi will become a nerd in the future.

Now that we've talked about this, it's hard for Yuxi to refuse. It's just that I'm a little puzzled in my heart. I haven't had such a thing in my previous life, so why everything has changed now.
