After sending Grandma Hong to the town, Xu Chang hid in his house when he came back. No one saw him, and he didn't know what Zhang Sanniang scolded him.

Zhang Sanniang's reaction was also very fast, and she arrived at the village the next day.

It was still Liu Xiaoyi driving the ox cart. In addition to Zhang Sanniang, there was also her personal maid Ying'er.

After entering the village, Zhang Sanniang first glared at her son Xu Ping who was coming to meet her. Xu Ping felt a little "splied" and didn't know how I would cause trouble for her.

Just a greeting, Zhang Sanniang sat down in the middle and stood on the side of Ying'er.

Zhang Sanniang said: "Grandma Hong lost her husband a few years ago, she was a widow in middle age and was a little narrow-minded. This time, she made a big fuss and made the family restless. I called her back and only served me by my side. Everyone forgot about Xiuxiu. Dalang——"

Xu Ping hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhang Sanniang looked at her son deeply, sighed, and finally said nothing bad in front of everyone: "That girl is someone around you. This time she was wronged, so please feel relieved. If someone makes her new clothes, just think that my Xu family will make a compensation for her. Yesterday afternoon, I met her mother in the town. The Ren family’s sister-in-law said a lot of good things to me, and I was also dissatisfied. After all, our family can do it, and the neighbors are not good-looking. Tell her to tell her, don’t leave any knots in my heart."

Xu Ping did not expect that his mother was so well-versed in the world and hurriedly agreed. In his impression, these landlords and wealthy people were not good to their servants, so they would not admit their mistakes so easily.

Zhang Sanniang just sighed in her heart. What if she doesn't do this? Yesterday, Xiuxiu's mother knelt down as soon as she saw her, saying that her daughter was ignorant and asked her to forgive her. She is all neighbors, not to mention that people's hearts are usually fleshy, she is not a cruel person. Even the eyes of the neighbors yesterday made her face hot. The Xu family has been away from her hometown for many years, and when she returns here, it can be said that she has no roots and no bottoms. How dare everyone beat her?

After giving Xu Ping the order, Zhang Sanniang said again: "There are dozens of people in this house, and they cannot be controlled by anyone. Ying'er is a person around me for several years and is reliable in all aspects. Since today, she has replaced Grandma Hong and is in charge of the affairs in the yard. You all will be careful in the future."

Ying'er was under twenty years old, her face was flushed, and she couldn't speak in front of everyone.

Zhang Sanniang shook her head, and there was no one around her, so she had to settle down and let everyone disperse.

Seeing Xu Ping turn around, he said, "Dalang, and Xu Chang, you two stay."

After saying that, he got up and took Ying'er into the study.

This is the main house of the manor, and it has always been for Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang to be here, so people are cleaning it normally. This is the authority of the head of the family and others cannot offend it. Xu Ping himself also lives in the side courtyard.

Sitting in the study room, looking at Xu Ping and Xu Chang who were following in, Zhang Sanniang said, "There are no outsiders here, I have a few words to say to you."

First, look at Xu Ping: "Dalang, when will your temper change your habits change? In front of so many people, how did you talk to Grandma Hong? What's the matter? We are two of you, let me tell me first. When will I be stubborn? Do you have me like this in your eyes?"

Xu Ping said embarrassedly: "I have changed a lot."

Zhang Sanniang just sighed: "Especially yesterday, she alarmed Lin Xiucai. He is my in-laws and your father-in-law. Do you know how rare this friendship is? He is a scholar and doesn't look down on our agents, and he also spreads the scandals in his family in front of him. What do he think? Dalang, you have been studying with Lin Xiucai for many years, and where have you been studying? I don't understand the truth at all! I still hope that when will you earn me an imperial decree? If you look like this, you will have no hope for it when you are in the past! In the future, you don't get involved in the affairs in the village, and go to study honestly!"

Xu Ping was shocked. His fun was to rectify the fields. What is the meaning of reading? He has been reading for 10 or 20 years in his previous life, and he has really read enough.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping solemnly said to Zhang Sanniang: "My mother asked me to study wholeheartedly, but I wouldn't be able to continue studying. If I were to take care of both sides, I could still study. I promise you that I would never be fooled this year, and I would study well in the school, but outside it is me. After a year, I will know what kind of material I am and whether I can participate in the imperial examination to earn an official position. At that time, I had my own statement."

After hearing this, Zhang Sanniang smiled and said to Xu Chang and Ying'er: "Did you hear that? You can recognize yourself in a year? Dalang has been studying for many years! Do you believe me if you say such words?"

Xu Chang said: "Xiao Xin. Dalang has slowly calmed down these days, and he is not as good as before."

Zhang Sanniang said strangely: "You say the same? The old man at home also has this meaning. I just feel that my son has not changed much, and he is still lazy! But I care about how much you stay with Dalang, and I think it's not a random talk. Since that's the case, I will give you another year. But I'll just give you another year. But I'll tell you, no matter whether you are the material or not, what I'll tell me in a year is that I can do high school in a year, not to mention that I can't read it. I earn a royal decree for me, and I can also be ashamed to meet my in-laws. When I go downstairs a hundred years later, I will see my ancestors. I only have this one child, and everything is on you!"

It’s also good to have a year. Xu Ping is tactful and stops talking anymore. Time can change everything.

After talking to Xu Ping, Zhang Sanniang said to Xu Chang: "Xu Chang, how many years have you been to my house?"

Seeing that Zhang Sanniang asked seriously, Xu Chang hurriedly replied: "Go back to the mistress, Xu Chang has been in his childhood, and it has been twenty-six years."

Zhang Sanniang nodded: "Twenty-six years have passed in a blink of an eye. I remember that year my father brought you back, but he just learned to walk, and I don't know where to be born."

Xu Chang said: "Fortunately, the master took it in first, so Xu Chang died of freezing and starvation. The day he entered was my birthday. Xu Chang only celebrated twenty-six birthdays."

Zhang Sanniang said, "To be honest, you are almost thirty years old now. Since my father passed away, you have often been overlooked by your family. People say that you are at the age of thirty, and you should be a family."

Xu Chang hurriedly said, "Why did the mistress say such words? I lived in the Xu family. I have never suffered any grievances over the years, let alone the pain of cold and hunger. This is a great blessing."

Zhang Sanniang ignored him and pulled Ying'er over and asked, "Look at how about my close-fitting Ying'er?"

Ying'er lowered her head and secretly glanced at Xu Chang, with a shy face.

She is nineteen years old this year, just like a flower. Although she is not very beautiful, she can be kept by her master and behave in close contact. She can't be ugly and has a middle-class and superior posture.

Xu Chang said: "Sister Ying'er is the person around the mistress. It is naturally good to teach every day."

In the Song Dynasty, when I was called a person, unless it was special circumstances, it was necessary to point out the elders and younger brothers. It was rare to call him younger brothers and sisters. The men called him brothers, or brothers, or sisters. Even if the father called him sons, such as the later Song Huizong called him son Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, he also called him Jiu Ge. Therefore, although Xu Chang was much older than Ying'er, he also called him sisters. This is different customs in ancient and modern times.

Zhang Sanniang smiled and said, "I promise Ying'er to you, are you willing?"

Xu Chang was stunned there, and after a while, he said, "Sister Ying'er is a fairy-like person. This is the blessing Xu Chang has cultivated in his previous life. Of course, he is very willing to do so!"

Hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but look at Xu Chang. This guy usually looks honest and honest, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he would also make the mouth full of oil, and he would say whatever he liked.

Zhang Sanniang smiled and breathed: "This matter is decided. Ying'er is also a poor person. He has never had any father or mother since he was a child. Don't dislike anyone. As long as I respond, I will naturally be the host of the old man in my family and be your elders. The day is set today, and it will be three days later. You feel a little aggrieved in the beginning of the day. First, live in the west wing courtyard, and set up a house outside in a few days. All the time you should use it will be transferred from Curry."

This is to let Xu Chang and Ying'er go out to have a separate household. The Xu family is also generous, so of course they thanked each other very much.

In fact, this matter cannot be discussed in detail, especially the identities of Xu Chang and Ying'er, which cannot be pulled apart.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, there were no private slaves, and there were very few official slaves at this time. When they crossed the south of the Song Dynasty, they completely disappeared.

The slaves and servants who are usually called are hired and have a deadline. The government strictly prohibits lifelong employment. The contracts are changed every five years or every ten years. The status of master and servant has been terminated because they are good people and do not need to be released.

However, long-term employment or even lifelong employment still exists in reality. For example, Xu Chang is an example, so he can only take advantage of the law. In this way, when making a contract, he cannot be said to be employed as a slave, but only to be adopted as an adopted son or an adopted daughter, and there is no deadline. His actual identity is actually a slave. To put it seriously, Xu Chang probably was adopted as an adopted son by Xu Ping's grandfather. In this relationship, it is impossible for a bloody plot such as a slave marrying a mistress to inherit the family business. Zhang Sanniang just married an outsider Xu Zheng.

But Ying'er and Xu Ping didn't know what the situation was, and whether there was a deadline. If the identity of the Xu family was adopted when the contract was made, the relationship would be completely messy.

This is why Zhang Sanniang missed this section and only asked them to go out to get married and start a household. The specific ones cannot be explained too clearly.

After asking Xu Chang and Ying'er, Zhang Sanniang solved a problem. The incident caused by Grandma Hong really annoyed her, but she was not at ease to hand over the family affairs to others. Ying'er was too soft-hearted and had to pull Xu Chang in. This is the person who has been raised since childhood, and of course the most reliable.

Seeing that Xu Chang and Ying'er were both shy, Zhang Sanniang smiled and said to Xu Ping: "Dalang, you are a scholar after all. You are happy today and think of a good name for Ying'er. When you are going out to get married, you can't call him a cheap name like Ying'er. Even though we are agents, we can't make random jokes."

If the names of girls such as Ying'er, Su'er, and Xiuxiu sound quite artistic, and many girls call them like this. But at this time, they are all cheap names, and there are basically only three times when they are used, one is the maid at home, the other is the nickname outside, and the other is the nickname of the child. Since Ying'er wants to marry a wife, she cannot call them like this for her future face.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said, "Since we all follow the surname of our Xu family, Ying'er will follow the surname of our mother. What about the name Zhang Aijia?"

Zhang Sanniang said: "What is the saying?"

Xu Ping was a little embarrassed: "What do you want? It doesn't matter if you sound good!"
