Chapter 172: Mother Quan Returns to Beijing (2)
Sister Quan came to look for Yuxi after she had made a plan, and she immediately said, "Girl, I still have some savings on hand, and I want to buy a small house in the capital, so that the whole family can have a place to live." Sister Quan planned to settle down I live in the capital, so I don't want to rent a house and want to buy a small house. It's just that it's not so easy to buy a house in the capital city. And she is in the capital, and she is not familiar with anyone except Yuxi. Of course, buying a house is secondary, the main reason is to find Yuxi as a backer. If you don't have a backer in the capital, you don't know how you will die if you offend anyone.
Yuxi nodded her head and said, "Buying a house is easy. But, what will your family do in the future?"
Sister Quan said: "Get settled first, and then we'll talk about the rest." There are people in the capital as backers, and Sister Quan is not worried about livelihood issues. After all, she has also learned all kinds of skills, and it is not a problem to support the family. Besides, her nephew and niece and daughter-in-law are not lazy.
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Nurse Quan, I wonder if you would like to come back? I have never been able to find a mother in charge who suits me. If Sister Quan is willing to come back, everything else is easy to talk about." After a pause, Yuxi Said: "To tell you the truth, except for Zisu and Zijin, the other maids around me are useless, so I want to ask Mammy to come back and help me train a few maids."
Sister Quan was a little surprised: "Where are Kufu and Maidong?"
Yuxi smiled wryly and said, "It's been released."
After hearing this, Quan Momo knew that the two servant girls must have said that they had made a big mistake, otherwise it would be impossible to let them out: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, I am naturally happy, but I don't know if Da Furen will agree?" Back then, she was willing to teach Yuxi so hard because she valued Yuxi as a kind and righteous person. At that time, I thought that teaching Yuxi well would be a hindrance for myself, but I didn't expect that this retreat would be used so quickly.
Yuxi smiled and said: "As long as the nanny agrees, there is no problem with the mother." In the past two years, she has been trying to find a mother who suits her heart, but she can't find a satisfactory one. At this time, Mammy Quan is willing to be her mother in charge. Mother is too happy, so she will object.
Sister Quan said: "When the girl leaves the house, I will go back." This means that she will only stay with Yuxi for two or three years, and will not follow Yuxi to Chen's house. It is also equivalent to saying that she will not sell herself into slavery. Being cautious in the palace for the rest of her life, Aunt Quan is unwilling to be a slave, she just wants to spend the rest of her life comfortably.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Yes." In two years, Quan Nanny can definitely train her a few people who are useful. As for the mother in charge, after Zisu gets married, she will come back to be her mother in charge in the yard.
The two agreed, and the matter was settled. However, Mammy Quan wanted to wait until the nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law were settled before entering the mansion as an errand.
Yuxi smiled and said: "It should be. Mommy, what requirements do you have for the house? I'll send someone to inquire for you." It takes time to buy a house that suits your needs.
Sister Quan has no requirements for the house, but she requires that the location of the house must be in good order. After all, she came from out of town. If there were hooligans in the place where she lived, she wouldn't feel at ease if she let her nephew's family outside. Her nephew and nephew's wife are honest and honest people, and they will only suffer when they meet unreasonable people.
After listening to Aunt Quan's request, Yuxi thought for a while and said, "The place where Mama Fang lives is very safe. If Madam Fang is willing, I'll send someone to ask Mama Fang to see if anyone wants to sell the house over there? If there is a house over there, you also have people who walk around." The people who walk around is second, the key is to have Mother Fang to take care of them, and Aunt Quan doesn't have to worry about her nephew's family being bullied by outsiders.
Sister Quan showed a joyful smile: "If this is the case, then it is naturally the best."
When Fang's mother got the news, she not only inquired carefully, but also asked Lian Shan to pay attention to the news. In less than three days, he went into the mansion to answer Yuxi.
Fang's mother said: "Girl, there are two houses, one with a yard for one entrance, and the other with two entrances, both houses are very good."
After listening to Fang's mother's detailed description, Yuxi said, "Since mother thinks the two houses are very good, let's take Quanmao over there to have a look. Quanmamy decides which house to buy." The house is bought by Quanmama , she also lives there, so naturally she has to make up her own mind.
Mother Fang nodded, but it wasn't just for the house that she came this time. Fang's mother said to Yuxi: "Girl, I fell in love with that girl Caidie, and I want to tell her to Dalang. Miss, do you think it's suitable?" Fang's mother was not worried that Caidie had already promised to kiss her, because she was close to her. A girl's girl will not be engaged until she is fifteen or sixteen years old. It's just that Da Lang is getting older, and Fang's mother wants to settle down as soon as possible, so she can feel at ease.
Yu Xi smiled and asked: "Is this what you mean, Mom, or what Lian Shan means?" These are two concepts.
Mother Fang said with a smile: "The head of the family also agrees. Even that kid Dalang is very happy to know what I mean."
Yuxi nodded [UUReading 00kxs] slightly, and said, "If Caidie agrees with her mother, I have no objection." That's why she wanted Caidie to go to Lianjia frequently that day.
Fang's mother smiled and said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to ask Caidie's mother." Her family has a house, a shop, and land, so she can be regarded as a well-off person. , and more importantly, Da Lang is still a good boy, and Fang's mother is not worried at all that Cai Die Niang will refuse to marry him. This marriage can be said to be proper.
Yuxi nodded her head. Maybe it's because the family is going well and life is going well, Fang's mother is in her forties, but she doesn't look old at all. Seeing Fang's mother living well, Yuxi felt relieved.
In the evening, Han Jianye came over, and the servant behind him was still holding a brocade box in his hand. Han Jianye bought her gifts from time to time, and Yuxi was used to it.
Han Jianye watched Yuxi take the gift, put it on the table casually, squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Yuxi, this thing is not given to you by the second brother, someone asked me to give it to you." After finishing speaking, he smiled Be like a mouse.
Seeing Han Jianye like this, Yuxi knew who sent the things. When the following said "oh" without changing color, there was no more text. This reaction can be said to be a little cold.
Han Jianye felt that Yuxi had to be shy after hearing what he said, but the girl didn't respond at all, which was really boring: "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Yu Xi said indifferently: "If the second brother wants to read it, just open it." During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chen family also sent over gifts, and there were a lot of gifts, and they were all valuable things. The value of things is second, but the key point is that this shows that the Chen family attaches great importance to Yuxi. Qiu Shi was very happy when he received the boxing gift. But the only pity is that Chen Ran didn't give her a gift alone, so Qiu Shi even muttered a few words about it. Yuxi never expected Chen Ran to give her a gift alone, so she was not disappointed.
Han Jianye scolded with a smile: "Girl without conscience. I'll go back, take your time to see." After finishing speaking, he turned and went back.
Yuxi waved Zisu and others to go down, and she opened the brocade box when there was no one else in the room. I saw a bamboo flute lying quietly in the brocade box inside. This bamboo flute is very dark in color, with fine and dense bamboo grains, the body of the flute is straight and round, and the head of the flute is slightly thicker than the tail.
Taking this flute out of the brocade box, it felt a little awkward in my hand, which shows that the bamboo flute has not been sharpened at all, and the craftsmanship is really not good. Yu Xi put it to her mouth and blew twice, and the sound she made was much worse than that of her jade flute. Yuxi frowned, why did Chen Ran give her a flute with such poor sound quality.
Thinking of this, Yuxi removed the satin covered in the brocade box, and saw a letter underneath. Yuxi put down the bamboo flute and took out the letter to read. After reading it, a smile appeared on Yu Xi's face, and she said how could Chen Ran give her such a flute with such poor sound quality, it turned out that he made it himself.
Making a flute looks easy, but it is actually very difficult to do. Although the sound quality of this flute is not as good as her jade flute, this kindness is rare. Gently touching the bamboo flute, Yuxi felt warm in her heart. In two lifetimes, this was the first time I received such a thoughtful gift. It is also because of this flute that Yuxi has more expectations for the future.
Courtesy is reciprocal, Chen Ran sent her a gift with so much heart, she can't show nothing. Yuxi thought for a while, and all she could do was embroidery, so she planned to embroider a fan for Chen Ran. Of course, the fan embroidered for Chen Ran must not be the same as that of Zhou Shiya and the others.
Seeing Yuxi ordering the embroidery frame to be brought out, Zisu asked, "What do you want to embroider?" If Yuxi used to spend half an hour embroidering every day, then she hasn't done needlework once a month for two years. Every day I huddled in the room and read a book, and I was crazy.
Yuxi thought that Chen Ran was a scholar, and scholars liked plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, so she said, "Let's embroider bamboo!" Yuxi chose to embroider bamboo because Chen Ran gave her a bamboo flute. Yuxi thinks that Chen Ran must like bamboo very much, and embroidering bamboo must be better than other embroidery.
Zi Su was a little puzzled, and asked, "Girl, I don't think Miss Shiya would like bamboo. Embroidery or goldfish would be better than bamboo."
It was only then that Yuxi remembered that she had promised Zhou Shiya that day that she would embroider a fan for her at the beginning of spring, but she forgot. Yuxi was a little embarrassed: "Then embroider the bamboo first, and then embroider the goldfish." However, the two embroidery works took a lot of time. Thinking of this, Yuxi felt that she should use a skill that had been useless all along, which was embroidery with both hands.
Zi Su was surprised: "Girl, who are you going to give the bamboo to?"
Yuxi was a little embarrassed, and said: "What do you ask so many questions, really, I didn't realize that you talk so much before. What are you still doing here, move the embroidery frame quickly."
It was the first time that Zisu was disliked for talking too much, and she was very depressed.
Aunt Quan went to see two houses with Mother Fang, and finally chose the one with two entrances. Sister Quan also thinks farther ahead, the house she entered is no problem to live in now, but when the two nephews and grandchildren get married in a few years, it will be crowded. But also because of the purchase of this house, not only all the savings of the whole mother were spent, but also a few jewelry.
Mother Fang was very enthusiastic about finding jobs for Mammy Quan's nephew and niece and daughter-in-law. The monthly salary was not high, but because she was not too tired and was close to home, she could take care of the family, so Mammy Quan decided to agree.
After settling the family affairs, Aunt Quan entered the Duke's Mansion as an errand.
