Chapter 14: Shen Xiu'er Comes to the Door

There was nothing to do today, so He Jin naturally had lunch at home. The mother and son sat opposite each other, but the atmosphere was a bit dull.

After a glance, I changed into a thorn hairpin and cloth skirt. The bright and unparalleled objects before were swept away. The expression and eyes on my face were also a little uneasy.

Seeing that He Jin was eating heartlessly, my mother finally couldn't help it and said, "Jin'er, don't you want to ask about your mother?"

He Jin heard this and looked up and replied slowly, "Mom, does this person have any secrets? Even if the couple is close to you, there will be some reservations between mother and son."

"Sometimes, you don't have to be honest and just talk to each other. Instead, you can be safe and not disturb yourself."

As he said that, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom is unwilling to tell her son now. There must be a reason for her. When will she want to say it, it will not be too late for her son to listen."

"Oh..." Cui glanced at He Jin in a daze, his eyes became calm, but he became even more suspicious: The bastard in front of him really doesn't look like his son... Why do these big truths say one by one?

After all, He Jin has been a human being for two years and has long been happy. He also knows that his mother, well... it's a bit difficult.

Judging from my mother's previous behavior and actions, she must be a lady from a high school, at least she is literate.

In my memory, when the owner of this body was studying in school, Cui would help with tutoring every time he came back - you should know that this was a very remarkable thing in the Ming Dynasty when "a woman without talent is virtue."

In particular, the neighbors around them all speak the local dialect of Zhangde Mansion. The Cui family is the standard Fengyang official accent, and there is no sense of the local accent.

Also, He Jin has never met his mother's relatives like his uncle or aunt. According to neighbors, my mother came to Cizhou alone for 16 years...

The reason why the mysterious and gentle Cui family in the past became the fierce and fierce mother now is probably due to life. After all, it is impossible for a woman to support her family without being too arrogant.

But no matter what, I have been rich before, there is no doubt about it...

Thinking of this, He Jin's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Mom, my son can become a licensor this time, thanks to the neighbors' joint security. In this way, should we invite neighbors to have a meal?"

Cui hesitated for a moment, saying: "It's supposed to be true, but in this situation our family is here... Forget it, I'd better help my neighbors with more time, wash and sew some clothes."

He Jin quickly spoke carefully and said, "Then, will you prepay some labor and food from the yamen first?"

"No!" My mother immediately put on her chopsticks and said sternly: "You just entered the yamen, how could you be so mean? Our family is a little poor now, but you can't lose your father's face!"

"Also, you are not allowed to learn from the dog, road and rat path in the yamen. If I let my mother know that you have harmed the people and have lost money, you should carefully take your legs!"

He Jin suddenly felt as if he was beaten by someone, and his expression became depressed: Sure enough, the plan failed without any surprise.

He thought that my mother had eaten and seen her before, but now that her son has become a library manager again, he will feel more relaxed with him. But unexpectedly, after finding such a good reason, I still refused to compromise.

He Jin didn't have to advance wages or harm the people. Now, he still had 200 taels of silver notes on him. The reason for motivating me like this was to find an excuse to spend money.

When he mentioned this, He Jin was full of depression.

Because after a few days of hard work, although I have money, I can’t spend it! The reason is that on the road to spending money, I am blocking my stingy Buddha.

Last time I only bought some ointment, I gave me a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

If I take out two hundred taels of silver notes, I will have to force him to retreat... In that case, it would be better to kill myself.

But you can’t spend money. What’s the difference between this and marrying a wife but not being able to bridal chambers?!

He Jin is greedy for money, but greedy for money is for enjoyment and to live a good life, rather than being a wealthy slave!

The dilapidated furniture at home, especially the quilt that is not warm at night, the hard work of my mother, and her future books, brushes and ink...everything, I need these 200 taels of silver notes to have a name.

Just when the mother and son were each insane and the atmosphere became dull, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the yard: "He Guanren, is He Guanren at home?"

He Jin was stunned and blurted out: "It's Yue'er, why is she here?"

When I opened the yard door, I found that the cute Yue'er was knocking on the door with a smile. Next to her was the rich and beautiful white beauty Shen Xiu'er with bright eyes and kind eyes.

The suspicious eyes flipped in his eyes, and He Jin couldn't figure out how these two people would come.

Seeing this, Shen Xiu'er suddenly became a little angry: What do you mean? This lady came to visit her. Are you not willing to receive her?

Fortunately, when He Jin saw Yue'er holding big bags of gifts in his eyes, his expression immediately became enthusiastic and smiled: "Oh, it's Miss Shen's arrival, it's really a miss welcome."

"It's good to bring this gift, what else can you come... Well, it's bad, it's good to bring someone, what else can you bring?"

Shen Xiuer's face suddenly froze, and she was already a little regretful about this trip.

But after taking a deep breath, she still bowed calmly and gracefully: "He Guanren, the incident happened suddenly last time, and it was very inconvenient. After returning home, Xiu'er felt this life-saving grace..."

As soon as he said this, He Jin's face suddenly changed, his face showed horror, and he stepped forward and covered her mouth.

At this moment, Cui walked out with a suspicious look on his face, showing murderous aura, and said, "Save life?...Baby, have you caused trouble again outside?"

"No, nothing is wrong!" He Jin really felt that everything was not good today, so he quickly made up a lie and said, "Save, life-saving grace... Oh, it's the two lucky dogs. Miss Shen is so polite!"

"Mom, don't know. I saved two little lucky dogs a few days ago. When I asked, it turned out that they were from the Shen family. Why did Miss Shen come to the door to thank you in person?"

The lucky dog ​​is the Jingzhu dog in later generations.

During the Ming Dynasty, many noble ladies in the court liked to raise them, and they worked on the top and the bottom, and gradually became pets for wealthy families.

When Shen Xiu'er heard this, she was immediately furious: She was offended by He Jin and Tang. Not to mention it now, she said that she and Yue'er are lucky dogs? He Jin, what do you mean!

When I saw this, of course I was disbelief.

He Jin quickly signaled Shen Xiu'er with a look of flattery and pitiful expression, just like the lucky dog ​​he mentioned.

Perhaps he inherited my mother's excellent genes and had a beautiful look, begging for mercy, which reminded Shen Xiu'er that He Jin was still a filial son and did not want me to know about the fight. She felt soft and nodded reluctantly.

He Jin then carefully let go of his hand, and Shen Xiuer also kept her promise and said, "Yes, Guanren He did save the little girl's pet, so I'll thank you very much today."

I obviously didn't believe it, but since Shen Xiu'er said that, she could only say: "Oh, oh... Then come in quickly, the lives of two dogs are just unnecessary."

Shen Xiuer's face suddenly became stiff again, and she felt deeply that her horoscope was not in line with the Shen family.

When I got into the house, I couldn't help but feel sad. It's okay if my family is barely left, but I don't even have tea for guests. I can only say embarrassedly: "Miss Chen, Miss Yue'er, you sit down first, I'll go and cook a pot of hot water..."

"Aunt He doesn't have to bother, let's sit and leave." Shen Xiu'er responded, waved her hand but sent Xiao Yue'er to follow Cui and delivered the gifts she brought.

When the two went to the kitchen, she had not yet thought about how to speak.

But when I turned around, I saw He Jin looking at him with a embarrassed look and said, "Ms. Chen, I can't pay you back the one or two taels of silver for Jinhua ham..."

Shen Xiu'er's face froze again. After taking a deep breath, she slowly laughed hard and said, "Officiale doesn't have to care. Just one tael of silver is not worth mentioning."

"Oh, that's good." He Jin immediately smiled happily, but then frowned: "Then you have nothing to do when you are full today, what are you asking me to do?"

Shen Xiu'er was so angry that she suddenly clenched her fists. But she didn't expect that He Jin was really slim and asked the key point in one sentence.

After taking a deep breath, she still pretended to be smiling and said, "Didn't you say that before? The little girl was so negligent last time. I'll thank you very much this time."

As he said that, he still felt that it was not enough, and then he added: "Well... I heard that He Guanren had become the yamen clerk, so I came to congratulate him."

He Jin curled his lips and immediately said disdainfully: "Is it better to make up the reasons... Is it better to make up the reasons?"
