The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

"Liu Sanlang's daughter-in-law can be considered my distant niece, because she has given birth to three daughters in a row and has no sons, and her waist has never been straight. In addition, the couple are honest. They have been squeezed by the eldest and second wife at home before, although they have a boy later. But it hasn’t changed. This family, big and small, is quick and honest in their work. They are too honest and dare not resist. This time it’s because the old lady in the family is going to sell the baby that their three daughters gave her. The eldest grandson was studying, and the couple came to me directly, asking the whole family to sell themselves and find a way out...

Although I don't have much contact with grandma, I also know that grandma is not the kind of rubbing person, so I introduced it...Grandma can see if she can stay..."

Jia Xuan observed that Liu Sanlang and his wife were obviously older than their peers. They were only 30 years old, but they gave people a sense of old age and vicissitudes, with a thin body.The three girls are skinny, and their hands are very thick, especially the big girl. Some people believe that her hands are the hands of a woman in her 40s and [-] years old. She is the only boy with a slightly fleshy face. .

"Tell me what you know?"

"Slave, slaves will tend the crops..." Liu Sanlang was obviously not good at words, he opened and closed his mouth for a long time before uttering a few words.

On the other hand, her youngest daughter looked very smart. Seeing Jia Xuan frowning, she hurriedly said, "The crops that my father tends are good, they are all the same fields, and the crops that my father tends can always harvest more than other people's. One or two buckets; and my father can also weave bamboo, which is dense and good, as well as mending wooden barrels and driving carts. My father can also...my mother can also do farm work, cook, and weave cloth; It is very big, and it can fire a lot of firewood; my second sister can also weave, and she can weave better than others..."

The little girl spoke in a hurry, and the adults didn't react. She had already said a lot, and the Liu Sanlang family was so frightened that they knelt down in a hurry, "Grandma, forgive me, grandma..."

"Okay, let's get up." The little girl actually said it well, well organized and well organized, much smarter than these two.

"Grandma, this is the old bull head..." Aunt Cai looked at Jia Xuan's face, thinking that Jia Xuan didn't like it, so she hurriedly continued to introduce. Although Liu Sanlang's wife is a little distant relative with her, she also agreed to help find a good one. Customers, but there is nothing they can do if they look down on her. They can't delay her business because of this. If it doesn't work, the next family will help them intercede.

"Old Niutou's family was originally the servants of a rich family, but the master committed a crime, so...the family's rules and manners are good, and his grandson is still literate, so he can follow your family at that time. I'll be an errand runner by my side..."

"Oh? What did you do at the master's house before?" Jia Xuan looked at the four members of Lao Niutou's family

"Back to grandma, the old slave is the second steward of the front yard, mainly in charge of the personnel arrangement of the front yard; the old slave's son, Niu Gen, is not up to date, and used to run errands with the former master; Niu Gen's daughter-in-law works in the kitchen; Mao Dan This kid is clever, he was the servant of the former little master before, and he learned a few words..." The old Niutou is over 50 years old, and he looks quite strong, but he probably has been working in a big family before, so his attitude is unavoidable. He looked a little arrogant.

There are still some left, and Aunt Cai introduced them one by one.

"Master? What do you think?" Jia Xuan looked at Lu Yan.

"You make up your own mind." These things, Lu Yan is only in charge of holding the line, but does not intend to intervene. Besides, Jia Xuan is also a person with calculations in her heart. This small matter is not difficult for her. Let her decide, and it can also improve her ability. The prestige of the back house.

In the end, Jia Xuan left behind a pair of brothers surnamed Qian and a family of six members of Liu Sanlang. There are three girls and one boy, the eldest girl is 23 years old, the second girl is 14 years old, the third girl is 11 years old, and the boy Liu Zhu is 9 years old.

Liu Sanlang is in charge of driving the car, Qian Er runs errands with Lu Yan, Qian Da is arranged in the front yard, and is usually in charge of guarding the door and handling some chores, and Liu Zhu is in charge of passing messages in the front and back yards. After another two years, when An An is older, he can still follow An An As servants, Liu Sanlang's daughter-in-law is in charge of the kitchen, and the three little girls of Liu Sanlang's family are arranged next to Jia Xuan first, doing rough work, and they can go to the kitchen to help their mothers if they have nothing to do.

Of course, these are only temporary. After observing for a period of time, we can determine whether to stay in the original position or change positions.

"Master, do you think we want to set up some property in the capital? This way we sit and eat..." I'm afraid that even though we have a lot of money, we won't be able to last for a few years, right?Buying so many people at once, they will have to pay monthly in the future, plus the daily expenses, the cost of the house in the capital alone will cost nearly 20 taels of silver a month, which is not considered a normal gift, plus I'm afraid it costs at least 30 taels a month to go to the ceremony, and three to 400 taels a year, which is still frugal.If something big happened...Jia Xuan didn't even dare to think about it.

"It's okay, your body is important now, don't worry too much about it, I'll ask Qian Er to ask the Yaman later, the money I brought from home this time is to buy a small village in the suburbs of Beijing to grow some food or buy a shop It should be enough to rent out”

"Well, let people look for it first. If it is suitable to buy a small village, it is also feasible to buy a shop." It is not enough, she still has a dowry to supplement some.

After buying someone and Lu Yan went to the Hanlin Academy again, Jia Xuan had fewer things to do. Every day, she was only responsible for eating, sleeping, teaching An An, and playing with An An. Fortunately, she always remembered that pregnant women should exercise more. Every day, I insist on walking in the small garden for two quarters of an hour.

On this day, the Sixth Palace suddenly sent a post.

"Zhouer, which one are you talking about? Which one's post?"

"The Sixth Prince's Mansion is a post sent by the Sixth Princess"

"What about the post?"

"Here. Look."

"It's true." After the plum appreciation banquet last time, Jia Xuan thought that the Six Princes' Palace didn't want to have anything to do with them, so why did they send another post now?Um?This is a full moon post for kids.

"Zhou'er, go to the front and say, if the master comes back, ask him to come over immediately, and say that I have something urgent to ask him for advice." Jia Xuan didn't pay much attention to the matter of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and she didn't know at all. , What is the situation of the child of the full moon in Liuwangfu, I still have to ask Lu Yan carefully, so that I can reply to the post.

Lu Yan came back from the next duty, got the news, and sure enough, he went into the backyard immediately.

"What's the rush...I originally said to go out again, to go to the dental clinic." Today the dental clinic came to send a message, saying that it was suitable, so that Lu Yan had time to go and have a look.

"Here, that's it..."
