Fushou Hall.

The eldest wife Wang brought her biological daughter Xu Cuitao and two illegitimate daughters to pay tribute to the old lady. As soon as she entered the door, she found that her younger sibling Liu had arrived. Seeing Liu's proud look on her face, she felt very uncomfortable.

Everyone in the room stood up to greet him, and Liu nodded with a smile and said hello.

In front of the old lady, Wang naturally stepped forward with affectionate feelings and said, "I have paid tribute to my mother and I also say congratulations to my sister. I heard that his third uncle was selected by the court to be the magistrate in the north. The north is cold and snowing for half a year. It is worrying to think about it. There are still a few fine fur cloaks in my house. I was originally prepared for the children, but now I will be counted as a gift to my third uncle. When I look back, I will order someone to send it to my sister."

"Thank you, my sister-in-law, I'll keep it." Liu sighed with a smile, "It's impossible. This is the power secretly produced by the fourth uncle in the mansion over there. After all, they are all officials under the nose of the Prince Yan's Mansion. The family also has a care. This is all thanks to the old lady. The eldest sister, Princess Yan, wrote to her mother in person, promising to help take care of her."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's hard for the princess to still care about her old body. Alas, among the children of our Xu family, your elder sister is well-educated, intelligent, and handsome. She has been praised by the elders since she was a child. At that time, my second brother went out to war, and my sister-in-law was in poor health. She was all managed by her young princess inside and outside. It was also a pity that she was in order. Who wouldn't praise her? Alas, it's a pity that she was far north with His Royal Highness Yan, and could not meet her from time to time. When you go back, you should give me more advice. When you take office, you have to visit his elder sister at the Yan Mansion. If you have anything to do, you should go to the Yan Mansion to visit his elder sister. If you have anything to do, you should go to the Yan Mansion to walk more."

"Yes." Liu stood there and said with a smile: "Mom, don't be sad. Every year, my elder sister will return to Beijing to reunite with the King of Yan. It seems that it is already August, and we will meet again in less than a few months."

"Yeah." The old lady Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I don't have a daughter. The three girls of your second grandfather were originally like my biological children. At first, I was always worried about your second grandfather and your second grandmother, but gradually I lost that thought. It's better not to meet than to meet."

Liu and Wang laughed with it when they heard this. Xu Cuitao asked in confusion: "Why?"

Wang replied with a smile: "What else can you do? Your three aunts are princesses. When you go home to visit your relatives, even your second grandpa and your grandma have to give you a big gift before they can relate to family affection. Besides, the royal rules are as numerous as a cow, and the whole family is working hard every time. It is better to not meet each other."

"Oh, I said that my aunts have not been home in recent years. It turns out that it is for this." Xu Cuitao and her sisters suddenly realized.

The old lady nodded and said, "That's because your three aunts feel sorry for the elders. If you come back, it's not convenient to explain to your children every family. In short, live your own life peacefully."

"What my mother said," Liu looked up and looked outside, "Why is the second sister-in-law not here yet? She must be worried about trivial matters."

Wang took the opportunity to laugh and said, "It's all a family, but she is not convinced if she wants to be strong, why bother?"

The old lady smiled without saying anything. It was her confidant Xu, who was next to her, suddenly said: "I'm afraid the two wives guessed wrong. Last night, the second wife came to tell Taijun about the good news. The second master and the third master in the mansion opened a silk shop together, and they can have a fortune of 2,000 taels a year."

"What, this is the case?" The eldest wife Wang felt nervous and felt uncomfortable.

The long house has always been the most affordable. However, the Wang family was born in a small family. Her husband and a soldier were not good at managing them. In recent years, except for secretly purchasing 100 acres of fertile land, the couple had to spend a lot of money on their face and had a large population. The rest were spent on the welcome and sending the house among relatives, and basically did not have much savings.

Besides, in recent years, the court has no war to fight. Xu Yaozu did not want to be a hereditary military general in the border areas. In addition to being a military general in the Duke of Wei and receiving a salary, it is equivalent to being idle at home for many years.

Originally, most of the entire family business of Wang was built by her husband, and her husband's family was a hero and noble, and she had a sense of superiority among her sister-in-law.

Now, the third brother suddenly became the magistrate. Seeing that the three families were well developed, Liu swept away the previous flattery in front of him and began to sit up on an equal footing. This was already annoying enough.

Unexpectedly, the second house, who has always been low-key, actually made a silk shop quietly. Although she didn't know much, she also knew that opening a silk shop requires a large amount of capital, which is definitely not comparable to opening an oil, salt and sauce shop casually. Just for transportation, if you don't have the ability, you will be vomited blood by the levels along the way.

Will even the second room be riding on my head in the future? Wang Shi only felt that the eyes around her no longer had the awe of the previous ones, but were filled with ridicule and sarcasm.

The third wife Liu's reaction was different, and she immediately asked in confusion: "Where did the second brother get so much silver? I didn't hear any wind in advance."

Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Wang exclaimed: "Could it be that the second couple is full of their own pockets?"

Liu sneered in his heart and looked at his sister-in-law with contempt, thinking that if this were the case, the second sister-in-law lost her heart and ran to tell the old lady, she was so confused.

"Don't talk nonsense." The old lady glanced at her two wives and said slowly: "The second wife is smart. She has saved up 1,800 taels of silver over the years. If you don't believe me, there is only one girl next to Brother Hao Qinglian Hongye. She is very strict. The three children and the second brother never dare to spend money randomly. Who among you is not serving you? One by one? The second wife borrowed 1,000 taels from her family and took the dowry to pawn, and then she had to learn from her. Alas, if you don't know whether the firewood and rice are expensive, one day when I stretched my legs, you have to take care of this family business by yourself. Don't let the family fall into trouble at that time."

"Yes." Wang and Liu quickly stood up to admit their mistakes. Wang only felt the face was hot, as if the old lady was the one who said this was her. Liu was proud of her, and she didn't care about the old lady's golden and jade-like words, but just thought it was a gust of wind blowing in her ears.

Suddenly, I heard the noise from outside, "Mrs. Second, here is here."

Everyone in the room looked at it and saw Xiao, who was dressed in plain clothes, smiled in first: "What interesting things are you talking about? Poor, on this hot day, the yard is full of little girls. Old lady, please be kind to me, hurry up and select the people, otherwise you will faint a few of them."

Wang groaned and his eyes were down. Liu said with a slight smile: "Oh, my second sister-in-law is too big to fight, and we can't make decisions without authorization. Who doesn't know that the second sister-in-law is the richest man in the whole family now."

"What's the point? It seems that I'm late. Can't I admit my mistake?" Xiao walked to the old lady with a smile and said with great blessing.

The old lady said angrily: "You are the evil ones who complain first. If you don't wait for you, those poor girls will stand for a long time? OK, let the managers in charge of this matter come in."

At that moment, four elderly mothers walked in from outside and stood with their hands down. This was the first time Xu Hao, who followed his mother, had seen such a situation, and had mixed up with his brothers, with curiosity on his face.

I didn't expect that the old lady was very good at old eyes. She raised her hand and pointed at her grandchildren who were licking her face and waiting for the women, frowned and said, "What are you guys doing here about this woman's family? Go out."

Xu Wen and others immediately ran out in shame, which made most of the women in the room laugh. Unexpectedly, Xu Hao not only did not feel embarrassed, but said: "If you don't do anything, you won't be wise. Unless you have to take off your clothes in public for inspection, why bother me to get out?"

"Huh!" This was the first time that the old lady saw Xu Hao dared to refute in court, and said with interest: "Aren't you shy about such a group of girls in front of you?"
