Seeing that Ouyang Kang cared so much about an "outsider", Lan Gu muttered unhappily, "Sister Mu has been invited by an aunt named Xu."

Aunt Xu? What's the matter with her? Don't you take Sister Mu to Nanshi again? Young Master Ouyang couldn't sit still after thinking about this, so he raised his feet and was about to go out to look for someone.

But just as he was about to move, a group of servants immediately gathered around him, "Where are you going, young master? Do you want a carriage? Or should I ask the younger one to hold the horse for you?"

Ouyang Kang looked quite upset, "You don't need to follow me, I'll be there in a short walk."

"How can that be done? Quick, bring the sedan! You guys, go and prepare the clothes, sweat towels, tea and everything else for the eldest young master to go out... Hey! eldest young master, this is not ready yet, where are you going?"

Ouyang Kang pointed at a boy and took advantage of his verbosity to go out.

The boy tried his best to flatter him, "The younger one's name is Laifu..."

But he saw his eldest young master suddenly stopped and glared over, "My name has been changed, from now on I will call you Lai Shou!"

The boy didn't know where he offended this man, so he said with a grimace, "There's already someone in Lai Shou, the tall and thin one."

"Then congratulations!"

The boy felt even more aggrieved, "Laixi is here too, and she's still a girl."

"Then come... come on." Young Master Ouyang didn't want to use his brain any more. He wouldn't be able to call for a few days anyway.

Hearing his impatience, the boy said weakly, "My father's nickname is Alai."

Young Master Ouyang was speechless, "Is there anyone there? How about Ah Hui, Ah Tu..."

"Little Ah Qu thanks the eldest young master for the name." The young man was crying in his heart, and Ah Qu said in a very unpleasant way. But Ah Hui is a dog. Ah Tu... forget it, it would be better if he really had this name.

He was laughed to death.

When Young Master Ouyang found Aunt Xu's house, he was surprised to learn that she had gone out.

There was only her son at home, a 6-year-old boy with a sallow face and skin. She timidly told him, "Mom said she would come back in a while and let me look after the house."

The dark clouds over Young Master Ouyang's head were growing. It was hard for a young man to stay at a single woman's house for a long time. He could only leave in despair.

Ah Qu couldn't help but wonder, is this boy's mother a stunning beauty? The young master who provoked them to be so beautiful came to look for her in person? But he didn't know that young master Ouyang's heart was burning, where did that dead girl go?

In fact, Nianfu was in a small teahouse not far from the corner of this street, and Ouyang Kang had just passed her twice.

Aunt Xu personally made tea and ordered two small plates of tea and fruits. After finishing the politeness, she started talking about serious matters, "Sister Mu, I'm inviting you here today. I really want to discuss something serious with you."

.”

She is a cheerful person, and a cheerful person does not speak in roundabout ways. When she got to the topic, she did not hesitate and mentioned it directly. "That's right, I see you have a good skill, and you made a profit on barbecue that day.

Quite a lot, right? Then do you want to stay in the capital and earn more money?"

Nianfu was stunned for a moment. Staying in the capital? She had never thought about this problem before. After thinking about it, she shook her head, "I still have relatives in the countryside. It's impossible."

Aunt Xu was not surprised, and smiled understandingly. "A kennel of gold and silver is not as good as a kennel at home. If there is a way, who would be willing to go all the way out? Sister, do you know why I have to shamelessly come to the capital?"

Of course Nian Fu didn't know that, but I heard her tell her story.

"My first man's surname is Fang. He grew up together in a neighbor's house. After a while, we started to understand each other. After all, both families are poor, and there are not many wealthy families. His family has two children.

A pound of meat, a red cloth dress, and two jars of home-brewed wine, I got married."

Aunt Xu stroked the broken hair on her temples with her backhand, revealing a bit of nostalgia and nostalgia, "I was really young at that time, and I didn't know how big the world was. I always thought that as long as two people worked hard, they could always earn a family fortune and be stable.

But who would have thought that God can play tricks on people. Our family escaped from the war, but when the world was at peace, he was harmed by his own child. It was not a big deal at first, but it was

After drinking a few too many drinks, the two got into a quarrel, and Brother Daniu got angry and hit him on the head with a wine bowl, killing him and destroying two families."

She lowered her head, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to have gotten a little heavier, "Brother Daniu paid for it with his life, but what's the point of asking for his life? But at the time, we didn't understand. We must have caused trouble in the Yamen and forced Brother Daniu to do so.

As a result, his wife threw herself into the river that night and left her three children to follow her relatives. In such a poor place in the countryside, she was almost like a beggar. I didn’t want to live at first, but when I saw the behavior of his children,

With such a ghostly look, I just thought, what will happen to Shuan'er if I leave? So, I won't die. I will find someone to marry again."

She wiped away her tears and glanced at Nianfu with a rather embarrassed look, "Sister, don't blame my aunt for being shameless and unwilling to keep the rules. Our family is poor, and Shuan'er's father is gone. If I don't get married, the family will have to live in trouble."

I can support two more people, and if I get married, I can at least support some coffins for Shuaner's grandparents, do you understand?"

Nian Fu understands. Madam Hui once chatted with her in private. Fortunately, her aunt only put out the flames now. Fortunately, although Father Shi was doing a small business, he had saved some money, otherwise he would not have been able to do it.

Maybe he has raised their mother and daughter for so many years.

A person like Aunt Xu who can make her own decisions is considered a kind family member. If she meets someone who is unkind, her mother-in-law's family will have to fight over the widow's ownership rights, because no matter which family a person marries from, they can all take a note.

Betrothal gift.

Aunt Xu sighed, and said with a wry smile, "Because I wanted Shuan'er to live a better life, I married Mr. Xu's father. I thought that although he was old and bad, at least he had a son who was an official, and his life would be better.

What a mistake. I never thought about it until I got married. It turned out that although Mr. Xu was the old man’s biological son, he had been adopted since he was a child. How could he be willing to be educated by his serious parents?

Looking back to the old man with lees? Life is still the same hard life. But luckily the old man drank too much and died within a year. I thought about it at home and decided to go to Beijing with the leash."

She put away her sorrow, and her eyes became somewhat radiant, "It wasn't until I got to the capital that I realized that there was such a good place in the world and that we could live such a good life. I knew Master Xu wouldn't recognize it.

I'm a mother, but I deliberately went to his house to make trouble. Mr. Xu couldn't bear the trouble, so he had to rent a yard for me and send me money and things to calm me down. You have to ask me how I know that

A place to sell cloth and stuff, just because I came here like you before. However, I never thought about having to rely on Mr. Xu for the rest of my life."

Aunt Xu said with a bit of arrogance, "Although I am poor, I am not a lazy person. I just want to get some capital, start a small business of my own, and slowly save enough to tie my son and marry him, and then buy a few more

As long as you can live a stable life with the money of an acre of land."

She looked over and said, "Sister Mu, I know you are worried about your family and want to go back, but can your hometown be as good as the capital to make money? You made a lot that night, right? If you work for three to five years,

Save up enough money and then go back to your hometown to get married, or you can just find a suitable person here, get married and then go back, do you think how glorious it will be?"

I have to say that my heart is moved when I read the blessings.

Even based on half of what she earned from selling barbecue that night, one night's work in the capital would be enough for her to earn at home for more than half a year. Of course, three or five years is a long time. If she works for a year and a half, she can earn a few dollars.

With a hundred taels of silver, not to mention being rich, you can go home and become a wealthy woman. When you marry a decent man, won't you be able to slowly start a family business?

It wasn't until he bumped into someone's chest that Nianfu came back to his senses. Then he was startled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Young Master Ouyang's face darkened again, "What am I doing here? This is my home, shouldn't I be here? But you, where have you gone? I'm such a big man, and I've been standing here all the time, why are you still here?

You hit me straight and hard, did you seduced someone when you went out or something?"

Nianfu was unhappy after telling him, "Isn't this Aunt Xu asking me to go out? I told Aunt Lan!"

But she was aggrieved, and Young Master Ouyang felt even more aggrieved, "I told you that you could leave without being seen? Do you know how anxious I am that I can't find you when I go to Aunt Xu's house? Are you familiar with her? What if she abducts you?

What should I do if I sell you? Even if she doesn’t kidnap you, what if she encounters what happened on the boat?”

Nianfu was so impatient that she was about to get angry, but after hearing the last sentence and remembering the danger on the boat last time, she suddenly felt a little apologetic and softened her attitude and explained, "I didn't go far, I was just at her house.

I sat in the small tea room next to her for a while. How did I know that she would take me out? If I had known earlier, I would have told her."

Seeing her lowering her head, Ouyang Kang rolled his eyes angrily, and finally half of his anger was gone. As for the previous half, when he saw that the person came back safe and sound, he had already dissipated.

"Since you remember it, don't do it again in the future. Or just leave a message to save people from worrying."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Nianfu felt strange, "It's almost time for dinner, where are you going?"

Young Master Ouyang muttered unhappily, "Let's go to the family banquet. You can eat it by yourself tonight. If you have nothing to do, let Lan Gu teach you how to cut. Don't run around all day."

Nianfu shook his head repeatedly, "Forget it, I don't have the talent. If I have the time, I might as well think about doing something to make money."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing!" Nianfu realized that he had slipped his words and hurriedly changed the subject, "Aren't you leaving yet? It's not good to be late for the family dinner. Let's go quickly!"

We were already late, so it didn't matter if we were late for a little longer.

"I'm warning you, don't use some crooked ideas that you shouldn't use!" He said this sternly, and Young Master Ouyang thought that he would be tortured when he turned around, so he walked away for the time being.

But she felt uneasy after leaving the courtyard, so she specifically told the servant, "Go back and tell everyone at the door that Sister Mu is not allowed to go out without my permission in the future, especially the corner door at the back of the courtyard!"

The young man agreed, but it was a bit funny. Seeing how the eldest young master was nervous about Sister Mu, he looked like a father nervous about his daughter. Is it necessary? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
