The earth dragon was burning in Liu Ruosi's house, which was warmer than anywhere else. Even so, Mrs. Liu Er was still afraid that she would freeze, so she had a charcoal pot burned in the house, plus the smoker cage, it could be said that it was

Warm as spring.

The kang was covered with a thick red wool felt, and a brocade mattress was spread on top of the felt. Liu Ruosi was wearing a homely goose-yellow silver rat jacket with gold narrow sleeves, and she, Mrs. Liu Er, and Grandma Chang were all on the kang.

Sitting on the upper floor, talking in a low voice, while doing needlework. Underground, in June, the twelfth lunar month and the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, I was also busy dividing lines and tracing patterns.

There was only a soft sound on the door curtain, and a smart-looking little girl wearing a green coat poked her head in from the door. The older girl Liu Liu hurriedly got up and walked over. The two of them murmured a few words, and Liu Yue took the girl with her.

The little girl comes in.

"Madam, girl, I'm back on the seventh day of the lunar month." June came forward to report.

"Can you ask?" Liu Ruosi raised her head and asked Chu Qi.

"Inquiry," the little girl Chu Qi saluted Liu Ruosi and reported, "The eldest wife, eldest grandma, eldest girl and second girl are all in the eldest lady's house. There are people guarding the door of the yard and the door of the house, watching.

When the maid came near, she hurried away and didn't even let her into the courtyard. The person at the second door said that the eldest uncle had also come back and went to the eldest lady's yard, and he should be in the eldest lady's room as well."

"When did the uncle come back?" Liu Ruosi frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked Chu Qi, "Do you know why you came back?"

As far as she knew, Liu Yujiang was on duty today, and it was still early in the morning. He should still be in the Yamen, unless there was something important at home.

"I've been back for a long time." Chu Qi said, "I don't know why."

"On the fifth day of the lunar month, you go out and look to see where Twelve has gone. By the way, go to the door and take a look again. Look for a moment and ask Twelve's father, did he see or hear anything?" Liu Ruosi thought for a moment,

Then he told Chu Wu Dao.

Twelve was a little boy, and he went to both the inner and outer courtyards. When he first entered the house, Grandma Chang told him the rules, but Liu Ruosi did not restrain him, and only asked him to take him around to learn the way around. 10

Er's father, Grandma Chang's second son Ping An, works as an errand at the gate of Liu Mansion.

Chu Wu agreed and went out. Seeing Liu Ruosi's arrangement, Grandma Chang nodded secretly.

"What's the matter? It's just a matter of welcoming the Third Master and his family back." Mrs. Liu Er said.

"Grandma is very busy today. The old lady wants to see the third master's yard. Grandma has arranged for someone to clean it up." La Yue said with a smile.

"She also has difficulties. With such a big family and the birthday celebration for the old lady, things are complicated." Mrs. Liu Er said. She always likes to be considerate of others and talk things out in a smooth manner.

Soon, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year brought Twelve back.

"... He said he wanted the uncle to come back to discuss picking up the third master."

"That's what I said." Mrs. Liu Er said.

"When the uncle came back, he said he didn't look well and tripped when he entered the door." Twelve said.

"Did it fall?" Mrs. Liu Er asked.

"I didn't fall, I was just angry... I gave Benchou'er's father a whip." Twelve said again, "Then, I gave Benchou'er's father a piece of silver and told him to keep his mouth shut.

...The bench told me. "Twelve little boys, good-looking and good at talking. They are not eye-catching, but they can find out many things that others may not know. Liu Ruosi did not arrange any work.

She gave it to him, but she had already secretly told him to go play and tell her whatever he heard.

Now, the news that Twelve had learned seemed to be of no importance. However, Liu Ruosi didn't think so.

"My uncle has always had a gentle temper. Our family has no rules about beating or scolding others or venting their anger..." Mrs. Liu Er said almost to herself.

"Perhaps, the eldest brother doesn't have a gentle temper at first, but the rules in the family are so strict that he has no choice but to show his true nature whenever he has something on his mind or becomes anxious." Liu Ruosi said slowly.

"My lord is a wealthy man, what kind of worries can make him panic like this?" Aunt Chang also said beside her.

Mrs. Liu Er was thoughtful and silent.

Liu Ruosi praised Twelve a few words, then asked June to get some snacks and a handful of copper coins, and gave them to Twelve. Twelve happily accepted them and went out to find his new friends.

.

"Mom, is it the third uncle that the old lady loves the most?" Liu Ruosi took the silk thread divided in the twelfth month and began to embroider the peony petals on the handkerchief, while asking Mrs. Liu Er. Look at Old Mrs. Liu's today.

Many manifestations, this is almost certain.

"Of course." Mrs. Liu Er said, Mr. Liu San is Mrs. Liu's youngest son, and he is a bit more painful than the other children. "The third master looks most like the old lady's son who died young.

brother."

Mrs. Liu Er then talked about how Mrs. Liu loved Mr. Liu San. Aunt Chang had been in the house for a long time. She echoed Mrs. Liu Er's words and told Liu in detail what happened in Mr. Liu San's house.

Ruosi listens.

"The old lady has never dismissed the third master's words... I haven't been around for a long time again, and the old man's thoughts are more intimate when he comes back this time." Grandma Chang said.

Liu Ruosi listened with some rapt attention.

Mr. Liu San already has two sons, both of whom are legitimate children. The younger son is only seven years old this year. Mrs. Liu not only favors Mr. Liu San more than anyone else, she is also convinced by Mr. Liu San’s words. Mrs. Liu San, and Mrs. Liu

My wife has always been somewhat discordant. She is a woman who wants to take advantage of everything.

She seemed to have guessed why Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu and Grandma Liu, as well as Liu Yujiang, were all so anxious when they learned that Master Liu and his family had returned early.

"...I only called my eldest brother to go home, but didn't send a message to my eldest uncle?" Liu Ruosi said.

"Girl, no." Chu Wu replied hurriedly.

Liu Ruosi nodded and thought in her mind. She remembered that in her previous life, around this time, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu successively mentioned the matter of adopting Liu Yujiang to Mr. Liu Er. Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu had their best intentions.

Some were reluctant and felt that even if they wanted to adopt Liu Yujiang, it would be too early. However, in the end, due to feelings and pressure, they agreed to the matter just before Mr. Liu San and his family arrived in Beijing.

After Master Liu San arrived in Beijing, he made the matter public at Mrs. Liu's birthday party, and on the anniversary of Mrs. Liu's death in August, Liu Yujiang was officially recorded among Master Liu Er and Mrs. Liu.

In the name of Mrs. Liu Er, the adoption ceremony was completed.

At that time, she had more concerns in her heart and didn't pay much attention to this matter. Looking back now, Mr. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu Er did not arrange the adoption of Liu Yujiang during Mrs. Liu's birthday.

I was still hesitant. Moreover, it seemed that Mr. Liu San and Mrs. Liu San had complained about Liu Yujiang's adoption.

Here, because Master Liu San and his family are coming back, Old Mrs. Liu is very happy, so she has done something for Grandma Chang. It is a good thing for her that Master Liu San and his family are coming back. On the other side of the eldest house, because Master Liu San is coming back,

But she became extremely nervous. Master Liu San came home and brought about changes that they didn't want to see. They would soon talk about adoption, but she would never let them get their wish.

"Mother," Liu Ruosi thought about it and said to Mrs. Liu Er.

Before Liu Ruosi could continue to speak, the little girl outside came in and reported that Grandma Liu was here.

Grandma Liu walked very fast. Her cheeks were slightly red because of this. As soon as she sat down, she didn't gossip as much as before, but quickly got to the point.

"I mentioned the shopping to my aunt at the old lady's house two days ago. I'm really busy and can't buy the good ones. Therefore, I want to leave it to my aunt. Those in charge of her work.

She has a broad vision and a wide network of contacts. This matter must be done by my aunt. If my aunt doesn't look at the old lady, just think she loves her nephew and wife."

As Grandma Liu spoke, she took out a post from her sleeve. Liu Ruosi took it and saw that it was an account issued, with the amount of such and such a ruler written on it.

"...I've approved one thousand five hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid it's not enough. Auntie will pay it first and send someone to open the account to collect the silver at any time." Grandma Liu carefully took out the pair of cards from the Liu Mansion.

He also handed it to Liu Ruosi.

Liu Ruosi took the pair of cards, and Grandma Liu's eyes were still glued to the pair of cards. With this pair of cards, she could go to the Liu Mansion's accounting room to receive various coins and items.

"I have to buy dried seafood for another dinner. I asked my aunt to do it last time. They are calculating the amount in the accounting room at the front. Once it's done, it's the same way. I'll give it to my aunt again. Aunt, don't bother me... If you have something to do, even if

Send someone to give instructions."

It was to celebrate Mrs. Liu's birthday and let Mrs. Liu Er share some housework. Due to circumstances, Mrs. Liu couldn't refuse. Besides, she was already prepared for this matter, so she nodded in agreement.

"I have never done anything like this before. If there is anything unclear, I have to ask you and the eldest wife." Mrs. Liu Er said.

"Of course." Grandma Liu thanked her profusely, then said that Mrs. Liu had something to give her, and left.

After Grandma Liu left, Mrs. Liu Er looked at the pair of cards and then the accounts on the post, feeling a little confused.

"Have you ever paid money in advance for something like this before?" Grandma Chang sighed with a smile.

Not to mention receiving the money in advance, no one would mention the money after the things were bought. In the end, all the money was spent in Mrs. Liu Er's own private room.

"According to this list, grandma was afraid that this money would not be enough just now, but in fact it is already a lot more." Mrs. Liu Er said. Although she doesn't care about the Liu family's family affairs, she usually likes to buy things, and she has a lot of money.

shop, so she knew the prices of many things. "What happened this time?"

"Sister-in-law just said that the high-quality dry goods used on the banquet should be made according to this." Liu Ruosi smiled and said, "Mom, I think sister-in-law is giving us a favor."

Grandma Chang laughed on the side.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu have been in charge of the household affairs for many years, especially the lucrative errands. They have all been controlled by their own people, and they have done countless things to line their own pockets. Although Mrs. Liu doesn't care about things, the servants in the family complain.

It's not like I haven't heard of it.

In the past, this kind of purchasing was left to Mrs. Liu Er. Mrs. Liu Er spent her own money, but Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma still received the corresponding money from the accounting room. And the money, naturally,

Everything fell into the pockets of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

And now, not only did they give up this large sum of money, but they also seemed to plan to let Mrs. Liu Er get some benefits.

Liu Ruosi would not believe that they would give them free benefits. Thinking that she could please them and use this to express that they were not after their money?

Liu Ruosi took the account sheet, thought about it, and suddenly frowned.

"There's something wrong with this account."
