Chapter 130: Wealth
h2> "Five taels?" The rich daughter-in-law's eyes opened as big as copper bells, "What are you doing? "This family has too much money and doesn't understand the market, right? One of her cousins' father-in-law runs in the restaurant, and I heard that the best cook in the restaurant is only two taels of silver a month, okay? Whatever, he said at the beginning that it was five taels, and even if they knew the market and wanted to change it in the future, she would not follow.
Ruxia couldn't help but roll her eyes, Chef of the restaurant, this woman really dares to think about it! With her level and knowledge, she has never seen many ingredients, let alone made them. Speaking of which, she helped the Yin family's cook, but she was afraid that people would not look down on her, and she also went to the restaurant to be a chef?
Thinking of this, Ruxia became depressed, since leaving Meizhuang, the food and clothing are much worse than before, although it was a maid before, but it was a light job, or it was okay to move your mouth to call the little maid. Now I have to do everything by myself, and I was forced by my father and mother to make purse embroidery for money. Fortunately, she is seventeen years old, and all conditions are among the best in Niujia Village and several nearby villages, and her reputation is stronger than that of several landlords' girls.
Rao is like this, Ruxia still feels very aggrieved, especially today when he sees Ruqiu being the master of the Hou Mansion, he is both envious and unwilling, a few months later, if Ruqiu gives birth to the eldest son of the Marquis of Qingyuan, the status will be more stable, and it is not impossible to become a concubine.
No, Ruxia shook her fist, even if she can't, she can marry a marquis, she can't be like Qiu is too much, isn't it? This time, her father climbed to the top of the housekeeper, if he does things well, maybe he can get the promotion of the nobleman in the capital, I heard that the nobleman is behind the prince. The opportunity to get close to the crown prince, uh, is smaller, but that nobleman, as well as those powerful ministers around the prince, are all opportunities......
Yes, yes, yes, Dad's affairs are important, whether it is to make money, or her future family affairs, it depends on whether Dad can satisfy Steward Wen and even those people in Beijing this time.
Ruxia hurriedly came back to her senses: "Of course I didn't go to the restaurant to do it, my aunt doesn't know if I can go and inquire, where does the restaurant chef have such a high monthly money?"
It turns out that everyone knows the market, and the rich daughter-in-law sneered, "Hehe": "That's, that's, nephew, you should hurry up and tell me, what do you want us to do? How long can we do it?" Anyway, it's a cook, anyway, you can get 5 taels of silver, what does it matter where you do it? How good it is to be a cook, the family has saved all the food, and the food is all good.
The third daughter-in-law of Niu hurriedly grabbed Ruxia, who was about to speak again, and said to the rich daughter-in-law who couldn't wait: "What is the sister-in-law? ”
"Yes, yes, go in and say, go in and say. The rich and noble daughter-in-law suddenly realized, whose family's wealth is not hidden, how can she talk outside here? What should I do if I am listened to?
Zhang Fugui took his two sons back to Quling County today, and Chunhua Qiuyue was still selling tofu outside at this time, and the rich daughter-in-law quickly closed the courtyard door, took the third daughter-in-law of Niu and Ruxia to her house, and talked about their secret wealth behind closed doors.
Here's the thing: A wealthy businessman from other places took a fancy to Goosehead Mountain in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles and was going to buy it to build a villa, and there would be many people living on the mountain at that time, and Zhang Fugui's family was in charge of everyone's food in the past.
The third daughter-in-law of Niu explained: "It is also your luck, the chief steward in charge of building the villa happens to have an old relationship with us, and said that you need someone who knows the roots, has a strict mouth, and has good cooking skills. ”
So good? The rich daughter-in-law's eyes purred: "Then don't we be responsible for the procurement of other meat, vegetables, etc.?"
Ruxia pursed her lips: "Auntie, your heart is really big! You haven't done shopping, what do you know? You can't even read the account book, can you keep accounts? You just want to do it, and they won't believe you." All the purchases on the mountain are handed over to my mother, so my father and mother can pull you and let you take charge of the kitchen and supply the tofu. Yes, now that Feng Niangzi is not here, you are responsible for the money you want to ask for a helper, and you must also ensure that it is reliable and tight-mouthed. ”
The third daughter-in-law of Niu nodded, and said with a straight face: "It is very important to have a strict mouth, including your family, you can't ask blindly in the mountains, and what you see and hear must be rotten in your heart and can't be spread outside." The owner of the villa has a lot of background, and if you want people like us to disappear, it will be easier than pinching an ant to death. Sister, you have to think clearly about whether you want to go, people give such a high monthly money, and they also have food and accommodation, and the requirements are naturally very strict, I want to make this clear to you, so as not to complain about me and Niu San when you get it. ”
When the rich daughter-in-law heard the sentence "It's easier than pinching an ant to death", she couldn't help but shudder, but soon came back to her senses: "I know, I know, sister-in-law, don't worry, our family has the tightest mouth." Also, we don't need to ask someone to help, Chunhua's craftsmanship is taught by me, it's no worse than Feng Niangzi, it's enough for Chunhua and Qiuyue to help me. "Joke, the family doesn't need money for food and housing, and earns a net of five taels of silver every month, by the way, and the money from selling tofu, where can I find such a good thing? Isn't it just to talk less and ask less? Those rich and noble families naturally dare not provoke. Anyway, aren't Niu San and his wife also on an errand in the mountains? They follow behind, just be careful, what's so difficult?
"That's good," the third daughter-in-law nodded, "When Fugui comes back, you can discuss it again, and make up your mind to let the eldest nephew go to my house to give a letter, and there will be a carriage to pick you up in ten days." Let's go first, and when the time comes, Niu San, Jia and I will all go to the mountain, and we will also prepare well. ”
"Eh, eh, there's no problem," the rich daughter-in-law couldn't keep her mouth shut, "Sister-in-law can rest assured." She thought about it, and decided to take the niece of the dead father and mother, and also take the mountain to do chores, and her family Qiuyue should also be well raised like summer.
Out of the Zhang family's courtyard, Ruxia quietly asked her mother: "Mother, Ruqiu's mentions, don't you want to think about it anymore?"
The third daughter-in-law of Niu frowned: "Silly Nizi, why are you still thinking about this? You have grown up together since childhood, you don't know if Rudong can make those novelty snacks? And Rudong's girl has been a dead eye since she was a child, do you think she will betray the eldest girl? Dani, the eldest girl's mind is very deep now, there are Jing Wangye and that iron dart head as backers in Beijing, and there is also the prefect in front of you to support her, even the old lady of Qingyuan Marquis has been taken to the family temple, do you still dare to believe Ruqiu's words? If she is really sure, she would have contacted Rudong by herself, and the face of their Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is not bigger than our family? Dani, you have to remember your mother's words, Ruqiu has always had a lot of ghosts, and it is okay to keep in touch with her, but don't be used as a raft by her. ”
Ruxia listened to her mother's analysis, although she was a little unconvinced, but she still figured it out: "Okay mother, then I will call her back then, saying that you and your father are going out on an errand, I want to take care of Bao'er, and we don't have the energy to run a dim sum shop in a short time." ”
The third daughter-in-law nodded: "Well, that's it." Na Ruqiu is also a big heart, holding her stomach and not stopping, if she does business again, can she do anything better than the eldest girl of the Xu family? She is a wife and a wife, and she is supported by her mother's silver, and she has a rich dowry, what is she like? It is only serious to raise a good fetus and give birth to a firstborn son. ”
Ru Xia said with a smile: "Ruqiu said that she had asked Lang Zhong to see it, and this child must be a son, but mother, fortunately, the Hou Ye is going to marry a merchant girl, if it is an official girl, I am afraid that I can't allow this son in Ruqiu's belly to land." ”
The third daughter-in-law of Niu "snorted": "The current reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is like that, it is about to be rumored to be broken in the capital, and it is not easy to marry an official girl." Only here in Los Angeles can you be proud. ”
Ruxia's mood suddenly improved a lot, and it was really uncomfortable to look at Ruqiu's appearance today, and the sentence of Qiu Yanran, the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, "It's also Yin Zhiruo's maid!" R1152
