Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Mrs. Han came to discuss with Wen Jiao about Shu Xiu.

The class schedule that the gentlemen ordered is that Mr. Yang and Mr. Li will have one hour class in the morning, and Ms. Ge will teach boxing kung fu for one hour in the afternoon, and the rest of the time will be arranged by the girls themselves.

Like Muxiu in the middle of the court, there is a day off every ten days, and the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also holidays.

Han herself is a top-notch expert among girls, and Jing Lan has been teaching Kung Fu by her hands since she was three years old.It is not good to suddenly change the master of martial arts.

So now the Han family is planning to get up every morning to send Jing Lan to Lin's residence to go to school.It was already [-]:[-] in the afternoon when the class ended at noon, and I was in a hurry to go home for dinner, so I had a meal at the Lin Mansion at noon, and then went home with Jing Lan.

It happened that the Han family didn't need a housekeeper, Daiyu went to school, and Wen Jiao had no one to accompany her.Mrs. Han stayed in Lin's residence for a whole morning, just to accompany Wen Jiao, so as to save her from being lonely for a long time.

Since she is going to school in Lin's mansion, and eats lunch in Lin's mansion every day, Mrs. Han said that she would pay for the training and food expenses.

Wen Jiao said with a smile: "My good sister-in-law, do I still need the money for these two meals? If nothing else, I will invite you to help me with the kindness of Mrs. Ge, which is enough for you to eat at my house for a lifetime. Sister-in-law It would be too raw to tell me this again.”

Han thought about it and laughed, and stopped talking about the meal money.But I still insist on giving the gentlemen: "Then how much do you give to the two gentlemen a year? I won't give anything else, I always have to pay half of the money, and I have to give a single copy as a gift. Otherwise, I will become a It’s for children to read books.”

Wen Jiao smiled and pointed out four fingers: "The two gentlemen have a total of 800 taels a year. Sister-in-law can give me 400 taels."

After a little calculation, Mrs. Han knew how much the two gentlemen spent a year, so she couldn't help nodding her head and sighed: "Everyone says stepmother is bad, but when you come here, you care more about your mother than your own mother."

Wen Jiao refused, grabbed Han Shi's arm and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law said this, can my family's Yu'er not be worthy?"

Mrs. Han hurriedly nodded and smiled, "I can afford it, of course Yu'er can afford it."

The gentlemen tested Jing Lan patiently and gently, and they were also very satisfied.It will take some time to prepare for the course. There are five students, all of whom have different foundations, so the school is tentatively scheduled to start on the first day of March.

Han Shi heard that she was relieved, which gave Jing Lan enough time to adapt slowly.

Because according to seniority, Mrs. Ge is still Han's senior sister, and Han's relationship with this senior sister was very good when she was in her boudoir, so after lunch, Mrs. Han went to Mrs. Ge's courtyard first to talk about parting. Affection.

Staying there until the sun went down, Han Shifang reluctantly took Jing Lan to leave and returned home.

Once she becomes a mother, even a woman who is free and easy before marriage will inevitably have her hands tied.

After finally giving birth to Jing Lan and raising her up, discovering that Jing Lan has such a personality has made Han worry again and again.Another one was born later, and it is not yet two years old, and it is even more difficult to let go.

Even a girl who grew up on horseback had to become a boudoir woman.

Counting the days, it has been five or six years since the Han family has spent such a carefree day outside.From the time she got married in the capital to now, she has not seen her parents again for seven years.Only that year when my elder brother returned to Beijing to return to his life, at least he met a few times.

The close friends in the boudoir can only be contacted by letters.

This is the daughter of a distant marriage...

Fortunately, Su Wenzhe was sincere to her, and his in-laws were also kind and kind, and they never picked on her.Knowing that it is not easy for her to marry far away, even the elder sister-in-law is very tolerant and treats her like her own sister.

Otherwise, the Han family really felt that life would be difficult.

Wen Jiao talked with Lin Hai at night, and now that he wants to listen to a song, he still has to go outside to ask for it, which is too inconvenient.

Lin Hai smiled and said: "What's the matter, Yueniang loves to listen, just ask them to go to the team and invite some to stay in the mansion for a long time. If Yueniang doesn't like outsiders at home, when spring comes, go to the south to buy a few. Teach it for a year and a half, and sing it to Yueniang."

Wen Jiao leaned on Lin Hai, and said with a smile, "I thought Ru Hai wouldn't like to raise and sing at home."

Lin Hai carefully hugged Wen Jiao tighter, and said with a smile, "We raise our own to sing operas and songs, and they can't be confused with the nonsense outside."

"Besides, as long as Yueniang likes it, our family can afford it, so just buy it."

Wen Jiao was happy in his heart, but a woman in love always wanted to do something small, and deliberately looked up at Lin Haidao: "If my family can't afford what I want, what should I do?"

Lin Hai shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Then I will do my job well and make more contributions. When I am promoted to the emperor, the reward will come down, and Yueniang will be able to afford it."

Wen Jiao could tell that Lin Hai was saying this sincerely, but she was embarrassed, and buried her head in Lin Hai's arms like Daiyu was buried in her arms, and said coquettishly: "I'm just joking. You are so busy now Now, don’t be more busy. As long as Ruhai is like this in the future and can accompany me every day, I will be happier than buying anything.”

Holding such a big baby in his arms, Lin Hai felt his heart was full.

A sweet night of refreshment.Seeing that Mr. and Mammy have quickly adapted to life in the Lin Mansion and are actively working, Wen Jiao took care of the progress of Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Cao leaving the mansion.

Bailu Baishuang and others had been watching for Wen Jiao a long time ago. Hearing Wen Jiao's question, he was busy reporting everything.

Mrs. Cao rewarded the pomegranate with 20 taels of silver, and the willow branches and willow leaves with [-] taels of silver respectively, saying that the right has fully served the relationship between master and servant over the years.Although the money is not much, let them keep it and use it as a dowry in the future.

Then he paid out of his own pocket and asked the kitchen to set up a banquet for the Zheng family and the Zhou family to have a table wine. During the banquet, they said a lot of good things about Wen Jiao.

He also said that he would like to thank the two sisters for taking care of them in the past few years. She was ignorant in the past and caused the two sisters to worry.

Wen Jiao laughed when he heard this, "I only know that Mrs. Cao is decisive. I didn't see Mrs. Cao being such a good person before."

Yumei spoke the fastest, and said with a smile: "We have inquired, and said that Mrs. Cao has always had a good relationship with Aunt Zheng and Aunt Zhou. It's just that Aunt Shen is not pleasing to the eye, and the two often fight."

Wen Jiao nodded and ordered to continue.

Bai Lu continued, after treating Aunt Zheng and Aunt Zhou, Mrs. Cao gave Pomegranate's parents 100 taels of silver.Said that he didn't know what was going on outside, and asked them to help set up a small yard.

The location doesn't have to be too good, and the yard doesn't have to be too big.As long as the surroundings are clean and the neighbors are clean.Help me to buy two rough envoy girls, who are obedient and have stronger hands and feet.

Wen Jiao laughed again: "This Cao family also said that she doesn't understand the outside world, I think she understands it very well. Isn't it about 100 taels once she enters the small courtyard like she said? Even if Xu Chun and Xu Chun's family want to be greedy , and I can’t go too much.”

After finishing speaking, Wen Jiao taught a few girls again: "Since Mrs. Cao has been here for ten years, she has saved up to two thousand if not three thousand. It's just that she has no income after going out. If she doesn't save money, she can only save money." Sit and eat."

"She is also considered a person who is used to a good life. From the beginning, she can calm down and manage well, and the husband and son-in-law she chooses will not be bad. Now during the Taiping period, I can see that the good life that the Cao family wants is approaching. .”

"Usually you always say that Mrs. Cao is confused, but she is confused about small things, but not at all when it comes to big things. Look at the other one, and you have to be clear in your heart whether to imitate who or not."

The four girls nodded when they heard this, and Du Baishuang said with a smile: "Ms. Cao is not here today because of her kindness. If she changed to another house, she would have already..."

Yumei interjected, "So, being able to have a good master is the most important thing."

Wen Jiao couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "Really, I don't need a few words from you. Go and invite Mrs. Cao here, and say that I have something to say to her."

Mrs. Cao has packed up all her belongings now, and only waited for the house to be found, so she resigned from her wife and moved out before making plans.

She was taking a pen and paper to calculate her net worth, what should she do outside.Someone came from the main courtyard and said that his wife called her.

Cao was worried that his wife would repent, but she didn't dare to delay, so she looked in the mirror to see that her appearance was fine, and hurried to follow the girl.

When he arrived at the main room, seeing his wife sitting by the window, smiling warmly, Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief.Sitting on the stool, I heard my wife ask: "I heard that you asked Xu Chun's family to help you buy a yard?"

Mrs. Cao didn't know what his wife meant, so she agreed honestly.

Unexpectedly, the madam laughed and said, "Go and get the money back to me. I'll find you a yard and buy two maids to help you. How about it?"

Cao was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to reply.It took a long time to find his tongue, and he stammered, "Ma'am... what does Ma'am mean?"

The lady above had already laughed so much that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, took a sip of milk from the bowl and said, "It's literally. Don't you trust me? Don't you want to?"

Mrs. Cao hurriedly stood up and said, "I never thought that Madam would be willing to help me like this."

This is the time when the sun is at its best in the morning. Madam sitting in front of the window seems to be covered with gold by the sunlight, just like the Bodhisattva in the painting, beckoning to her kindly.

Mrs. Cao involuntarily walked forward and stood in front of his wife.

Madam smiled at her and said: "I've heard that you plan to be very good at every step. If you want to go out, you can live a good life, which is very good. It's just that you are still going out from the Lin family, and you will be collected later. Temper, don't embarrass the Lin family."

Cao Shi nodded.

The madam laughed again: "I'm afraid that if you go out, you will be bullied as a single woman, and it will be shameful if it gets out. I have arranged a good place for you, do you want to know?"

Cao Shi nodded again.

The madam chuckled, and her voice became softer: "Mother Chen, who manages the charcoal lamps in the kitchen, is 52 years old this year. Although she has given birth to several children, she just didn't raise them, and her husband also passed away two years ago." , now she is the only one left in the family."

"She is the most upright person. You go to her place tomorrow and recognize her as your mother. To the outside world, you will say that she is her daughter. From then on, you will support her until the end of her life. It just so happens that you and her learn more about housekeeping and how to behave in the world .Would you like to?"

Cao Shi shed two lines of tears, knelt down in front of the couch, and sincerely kowtowed three times to his wife.

The author has something to say:

Cao: Bodhisattva!I kowtow to you!

Woooooo, I want to transform into a ruthless coding machine with my hand speed and scumbag
