[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

There was no dream all night, Xu Shi's sister-in-law's bed was too warm, Wan Xiang slept soundly and soundly, and was not disturbed by her random mood.

When he woke up in the morning, Yin Tang had finished grooming, looked back at Wan Xiang who had just sat up from the bed sleepily, smiled meaningfully at her, and said "Morning".

Xi Wanxiang still couldn't open her eyes, she only narrowed her eyes into two slits. Looking out, the cousin's sister-in-law was full of energy, much better than she was half a month ago, and thinking of the good night kiss before going to bed last night, Wanxiang couldn't help but bend over. lips.The estrangement and worries that had arisen in her heart from being cocooned in her own cocoon before seemed to have disappeared completely after sharing the couch, and she seemed to have returned to the little dumpling who liked to pester her sister-in-law in the past.

Then Wanxiang lifted the quilt with inexplicable joy, pulled the embroidered shoes and threw herself into the arms of the sister-in-law, raised her head, and acted softly: "Morning sister-in-law~"

"Ahem——" Before the cousin's sister-in-law touched her head affectionately, the unlucky Jinlian came in with a copper basin, and cleared her throat with a drawn-out tone, which seemed rather strange.

Um?what happened?Xi Wanxiang couldn't help looking over her cousin's shoulder curiously, seeing Jinlian covering her mouth and winking at herself, seeing Wanxiang's gaze, she pouted at the bed again, and smiled meaningfully.

Wan Xiang looked at her cousin in puzzlement, then turned her eyes to the bed.

Xi Wanxiang reacted faster than Yin Chan, seeing the shocking pool of blood red on the snow-white sheet under the quilt just now, she let out an "ow", and jumped up with the momentum of a jingle. He covered his cousin's eyes tightly with his hands.If you think about it, it’s wrong to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and you have to draw the bottom line.So she slapped Yin Chan's shoulders, jumped over in two or three steps, pulled out the blood-stained sheet, rolled it into a ball, looked around, and simply threw it out of the window.

It can be described as smooth and smooth, and people clapped their hands and applauded-what is so good, what a shame, alas.

In fact, when Yin Chan got up in the morning, he had already seen it and prepared the necessary supplies for Wan Xiang himself.Seeing Wan Xiang's reaction so fiercely, and now standing by the window with an embarrassed face, not even knowing where to put his hands, Yin Chan couldn't help but smiled and approached, stroking Wan Xiang's head: "Congratulations to little Wan Xiang for finally growing up!" big."

Jin Lian happily clapped his hands in response: "Congratulations, Second Miss!"

Wan Xiang wished she could kill her with a piece of tofu, but there was no tofu in the room, so she had to bite the bullet and stammered, "Yes, I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to dirty your bed..." What the hell? Just like winning a lottery, when I was sleeping in my own room a few days ago, I was fine, I just felt a little bloated, and I thought it was because I ate too much. Unexpectedly, just this night, my aunt Shi Shiran came to patronize me with a shy face. Let the cousin see the partial birth, and throw it out of embarrassment.

After being reborn, I haven't been to my aunt for more than four years, and I almost forgot about such a thing!Not ready yet, bastard!

Seeing Wan Xiang's depression, Yin Tang wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't help but smile: "How can my sister-in-law blame you? It's too late to be happy. Besides, my sister-in-law's things belong to you, so why are you being polite to me?"

Although it is true to say so, it is still very uncomfortable.

Since Wanxiang came to the sunflower water for the first time, the cousin was afraid that she would suffer from the cold, which would cause abdominal pain easily.So he cooks for Wanxiang himself, boiled brown sugar and jujube soup for Wanxiang, made it sweet, and brought it to Wanxiang.

Wanxiang actually didn't feel the pain in her lower abdomen at all, but her cousin wouldn't let her get out of bed and move around, so she just curled up on the bed obediently - since she made her bed dirty, she had a psychological shadow, saying I have to go back to my room and shrink back.

The good news of Miss Xi Er's first sunflower water spread throughout the house within a morning, and Mother Song also brought a cake to congratulate her with a happy face, saying that it was the old lady's intention.Wan Xiang thanked her warmly, opened the food box and saw that the cakes were made very festively and exquisitely, and those who didn't know it even thought they were wedding cakes brought directly from the wedding banquet.

Xi Wanxiang looked at the three or four plates of cakes in the food box. Although she looked a little bit heartbroken, she happened to be hungry, so she sighed, took them out spinelessly, lined them up in front of her, and began to eat them unceremoniously. .

The first visit ended within a few days, and Xi Wanxiang was bouncing around the courtyard again.It's just that she couldn't find her sister-in-law everywhere, so she asked Steward Li, and found out that her sister-in-law went out to the bank early this morning.

Taimen Town has been in depression for two months due to the plague, and now it's time to come back to life, the Xi family will naturally start to take care of the original business, not to mention seizing the first opportunity, at least not to be slumped and left behind.

After staying behind closed doors in the house for so many days, Xi Wanxiang happened to feel a little bored, so she slipped out of Xi's house while no one was watching.

It was October and the frost was falling, and the pine needles on both sides of the Jianshui looked extraordinarily vigorous and simple after being tempered throughout the autumn. The air was cold, and the towering Yangming Mountain in the distance exuded a stern atmosphere.

The town has become much more lively than when we first came here, and many shops on the main street have reopened.It's just that there are some white silks hanging on the streets and alleys, and there are faint cries coming from the house, maybe the people who died in the plague are paying homage to their relatives.

The two servants of the bank were still there, fighting with broom handles, and ran away in a panic when they saw Miss Xi Er, pretending to be serious about sweeping the floor.Xi Wanxiang thought it was funny, so she asked them solemnly where Guanshi Zhong was.

Holding the broomstick, the boy said solemnly, Guanshi Zhong's son died of illness in the plague, his wife was so distraught that he almost wanted to commit suicide, so he couldn't get away, so he resigned from his job as steward of the bank and took his wife back to his hometown.

Hearing this news, Xi Wanxiang couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.Thinking about it, Guan Shi Zhong is still a good person. Although he was obsessed with money for a while and harmed his sister-in-law, and looked like a thief, he finally stood by his sister-in-law's side and helped with things wholeheartedly.Before leaving, he ran all the way himself and delivered the snowflakes to himself.

Thinking about it, Wan Xiang couldn't help but think of Xue Hua's weak and innocent appearance lying in the small cloth bag. She was only a little bit at that time, but now she has made herself so plump, even if she is fat, she is lazy.Time is merciless.

Hearing the movement in the front hall, Yin Yang raised the curtain and walked over from behind.Wan Xiang was still a little embarrassed, she rubbed her toes on the ground, and smiled at her sister-in-law.

Seeing that Wan Xiang was wearing thin clothes, Yin Chan took off his robe and put it on Wan Xiang's body, and glared at her pretending to be unhappy: "Why did you come here by yourself again? You're not in good shape yet. The wind catches the cold, how do you want me to explain to your grandmother?"

Xi Wanxiang whispered aggrievedly: "No, her body...is already healed. Wanxiang just misses her cousin."

Facing the little girl who was looking at her with pouty lips, Yin Tang had no way to say another loud word, so he naturally took her hand, and walked behind with Wan Xiang with a smile.

The accountant's work has stopped since the plague hit, so now I have to recalculate, and I have to count the customers who did business with the bank but died in the natural disaster*, the closed shops, and even the town's outsiders. Because of the excessive loss at home, everyone asked the bank to withdraw the bank notes they had previously deposited.Therefore, all of these made the burden on Yin Chen's shoulders extremely heavy. Besides, Guanshi Zhong resigned, and Yin Chen was the only person in charge of the bank.

Within half a day, there was an endless stream of people coming to the bank to exchange cash. The bank's deposits were insufficient. No matter how you calculated it, it was a deficit, and there was no way to make up for it. This made Yin Yang very headache.

Anyway, Xi Wanxiang didn't have much idea about such things as money, so she lay down at the small window of the counting room with peace of mind, watching the people and horses passing by on the street, or carrying a vegetable basket, or coaxing the baby in her arms, doing everything for herself. A person who runs around for a living.Suddenly, a group of well-dressed people passed by outside the window. Compared with those just now, one can feel that their status is not vulgar.Wan Xiang felt curious, so she looked at it for a while, but the pedestrian walked straight into the bank.

Menacing yells came from the front hall, Wanxiang turned her head to look at the sister-in-law, and saw that she stood up calmly, and smiled at Wanxiang: "It's okay, Wanxiang will play by herself for a while, and the sister-in-law will be there soon." return."

After finishing speaking, Yin Yang went out.Wan Xiang was a little worried, so she quietly followed her and walked around to the front hall together.

The people who came were the eldest son and housekeeper of Yuan Du's family in the town, and they brought three or four servants to ask for money.He said that he had asked the Xi family for the money a few days ago, but he kept delaying it.Presumably, many people died in his family, so this money is urgently needed to appease the families of those who lost their lives, so as not to get an inhuman bad reputation.

Wan Xiang carefully scratched the door frame, revealing half of her small face behind the indigo flower curtain, and on the other side was the boy who had been sweeping the floor in the lobby, and both of them were watching the fun seriously.

I heard from the boy that the past two years have not been easy for Mr. Du's family. Mr. Du has been doing business outside. no return.Even going to the gambling house on a whim to get back a book, all failed.And the youngest son of the Du family was caught as a young man during the conscription a few years ago, and the situation was bleak.

Xi Wanxiang looked suspiciously at the arrogant young master of the Du family, dressed in brocade and satin, it didn't seem like his family was withered.

Mr. Du was quite handsome, and he was only in his early twenties. Holding a piece of finely carved white jade in his hand, he said to Yin Tang, "I wonder how the Xi family's money is prepared? Three days ago, the housekeeper came to tell you This matter. Knowing that the Xi family has a good reputation, we put the money here with confidence. But who knows that you have been procrastinating, and now I come to the door in person, do you still want the Du family to be rejected? 300 taels is one cent Nothing less."

Yin Chan smiled unhurriedly, turned a blind eye to Mr. Du's aggressiveness, and said calmly: "Mr. Du came to the door in person, so naturally he can't return empty-handed. You might as well rest for a while, Mr. Du, I will give you an answer today." And he said to the other boy next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you show Mr. Du some tea?"

Seeing that the sister-in-law was confident, Xi Wanxiang didn't take it seriously, so she casually asked the boy next to her, "Hey, so our bank should be doing well now, right? 300 taels is not a small amount."

The boy sighed very sadly: "No. The second lady also saw that when the bank opened, so many people stepped through the threshold to exchange money early in the morning. The cash in the bank is not much. It's not that easy, and it's very embarrassing not to come back after a while. The Du family is still staring at it. Yesterday, the young lady ran into the young lady thinking about selling the dowry to help Let's fill in the gap. At this moment, the young lady is definitely planning to drag Mr. Du and go to the pawnshop to sell jewelry by herself."

Hearing this, Xi Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help touching the jasper bracelet that was already warmly worn on her hand. The sister-in-law once said that this jade bracelet is very rare and very expensive, so it is possible that she wanted to exchange it for money ?

In the hall, I saw Yin Yang calmly and peacefully staying with the Du family visitor, saying something like "go to my house to get the 300 taels of silver that I have prepared", and then walked out of the door.

No way!The jade bracelets were originally a pair, even if the sister-in-law had the heart to pawn the ones on her wrists, Xi Wanxiang would not agree.

Thinking about it, Xi Wanxiang wanted to rush out recklessly. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the servant who was watching her carefully, and pulled up his sleeve: "Let's go together!"
