Chapter 1 Silver

The sky was overcast, and as soon as October began, snow particles began to fall. Hit the dead leaves that haven't had time to fall, and it rustles. The wind is like a knife, blowing on people's faces, and it hurts.

Red Pepper took the little girl edamame and walked against the wind. The north wind poured straight into their clothes, and both of them couldn't help but shrink their shoulders, and their steps were a little hurried.

Edamame pulled his hand into his sleeve and ducked straight behind the red pepper. She was only about ten years old, and she hid behind Red Pepper just to block the wind.

Red Pepper scolded, but he didn't care.

The mothers-in-law who swept on the road had their faces a little purple from the cold, and their mouths complained. But when he saw the red pepper from a distance, he immediately got out of the way diligently, whether the red pepper looked at them or not, he smiled at the red pepper with a warm smile.

Red Pepper is a second-class girl in Tian Yunyuan, a serious and decent person.

And Tian Yunyuan is not the best in the entire Suguo Mansion, but the area is the largest. In the final analysis, it has to be the master who is favored, and the subordinates who follow him are decent.

Where can the red pepper care what others think, she walked back quickly, and when she saw the door of Tian Yunyuan, there was no trace of snow, so she nodded with satisfaction. These mothers-in-law are really good at watching people put on the dishes. Just passing by the second girl's Shi'an Garden, no one took care of the snow and dead leaves at the door. Accumulated a layer, the end is ugly. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The second girl is a rare neat person, but she was born in her aunt's belly. If the aunt is a dedicated, it's fine, and the partiality is out of tune. Don't let the second girl be involved.

Although his master is also a concubine, this concubine is not the same as a concubine. When I think about it, my heart suddenly feels much better.

She turned around and instructed Edamame: "You go to warm up first, and ask the green bamboo shoots to come to the main house for a while." Take some reward money and send it secretly to those mothers-in-law, saving them from chewing the root of their tongues. ”

Edamame jumped out from behind Red Pepper and ran into the yard, responding as he ran: "Got it." ”

Edamame and spring bamboo shoots are both third-class little girls in Tian Yunyuan, and they usually run errands, and they can't even do the work of sprinkling and sweeping. said that it was sent to accompany the girl to play, and the raising was more exquisite than the girl from a small family.

Red Pepper scolded 'wild hooves' again in the back, and she went.

Tian Yunyuan is guarding the door with a fifty-year-old mother-in-law, who is very kind, and the girls call her a good mother-in-law.

The good woman came out, helped the red pepper dust the snow, and said with a smile: "What does the girl have to worry about with that little girl." ”

Red Pepper rolled her eyes, and with the help of the good woman, she stomped her foot, and saw that a good pair of shoes were soaked in the snow, and she was a little annoyed. "I know that you feel sorry for these girls again, so I won't say it. ”

The good woman still smiled, and urged the red pepper to hurry up and reply: "The shoes and socks have to be changed, and it's not fun to be frozen." ”

Red Pepper sighed, and his face was a little gloomy. Bypass the cloister and head straight to the main house.

Purple eggplant is holding a big hairy coat in his hand, and he is smoking it in a smoking cage. Coriander fiddles with the brazier in the room and adds charcoal to it.

These two are first-class girls, and they are all close to the master.

Red pepper came in and involuntarily leaned towards the brazier first. As soon as the coriander looked at her, she knew that she hadn't sent it again. She handed over a cup of hot tea: "How is it?"

"I didn't send it. Red Pepper pouted and said, "Last month's monthly silver was issued in the middle of the month, and this month is estimated to be too." It's only the beginning of the month, and we'll have to wait a few days. ”

"There is no silver or not, there is no matter. Zi Qi unfolded the big sweater in his hand, "You see, this dress can still be worn this year." The girl has grown a lot taller this year. She then put her clothes on the smoker cage, "Not to mention the clothes of our subordinates this year, even the clothes of the masters have not come down yet. In the final analysis, we are just a minion, and we don't talk about those decencies, and last year's clothes were trimmed with a side, and we made a living. But you can't edge the girl, it doesn't look good. If you don't go out, just wear it at home. If you suddenly see a guest, you don't even have the clothes of a visitor. Isn't it a joke? ”

"It's so difficult for us, and the other girls are only more difficult. Coriander soothed: "Just wait for our wife to come back." Wait. ”

The Queen Mother was newly mourned, and the nobles and nobles were crying. The family can only be entrusted to the care of the third wife, Yuan.

The third room is a concubine, not to mention that the three wives are not the original match of the third master, and they are from a small family, and they value silver the most. If you have this opportunity, you can't hurry up and get money in your pocket.

The girls were talking outside, but Yun Wuniang turned over on the kang, listened to the whirring wind outside, and shrank into the quilt.

Things are far from being as simple as they seem. No matter how confused the Yuan family is, he can't afford to deduct everyone's expenses. This is not a single person, but a family. Besides, the monthly silver is in the palace account, and it should have been spent.

Everyone knows that the housekeeper has oil and water. For example, people's clothes can be made of inferior fabrics, and second-grade cotton can also be used. But there can be no less. Always look at the past in the big picture.

Not only did the winter clothes not be handed out, but even the new clothes of the masters were not delivered. It is by no means explained by simple deductions.

Yuan didn't have the courage to do so.

It can only be said that this house is far from being as glamorous as it seems.

If the money can be spent on the books, Yuan Shile will do favors. Who can't do the thing of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and who is willing to make trouble inside and outside for the affairs of the public is not a person.

If you are a person who cares about face, this person will definitely take out his private money first, fill this hole, and wait for the person who can be in charge to come back and slowly calculate the account. But what about this Yuan family, it's just a broken character, mosquitoes pass through her hands, and they have to scrape off the oil, not to mention that if you want to ask for silver from her hands, it's just a dream.

She doesn't care if she's embarrassed or not.

There is silver in the public, and she pulls eighty percent in front of her, and she can leave twenty percent of everyone's mouths, which is already kind. Anyway, they are the head of the house, and even if they divide the family, they will not be able to share a few percent of the industry. Being able to take a bite from the is her ability. Gongzhong wants her to make up for it in reverse, when she is a second fool.

Yun Wuniang pondered in her heart, and said in her heart, she has always been her mother's housekeeper, and she has said good up and down, but this sound is not so easy to get. I don't know how to calculate and live in order to maintain a rich and prosperous situation.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh.

Zi Qi came in with the curtain, and saw that her girl was wrapped in a cocoon, looking at the roof with her eyes open, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "But we quarreled with the girl."

Yun Wuniang shook her head: "It's okay, it's just too lazy to move." ”

"That girl is on the kang. Zi Qi handed over a glass of honey water, "This year's carbon hasn't been sent yet, it's all last year's carbon, and it's a little tidal." The smell of smoke is also strong, and I am afraid that the girl will smell uncomfortable. ”

In previous years, the carbon was delivered a month in advance, but this year the snow has fallen and the carbon has not yet fallen.

Yun Wuniang frowned, "Pick out the clothes I don't wear and share them with the little girl in the yard." On this snowy day, don't sit down and get sick. Don't complain. A few of you, take some inconspicuous materials from the library, and make two winter coats out first. If the monthly money is paid from my private room, it is not impossible. But in the end, it was a slap in the face of the third wife. When you look at who is having a hard time in the yard, or if there is an emergency, you don't make a noise, just quietly give the silver. ”

"Girls are good sex. Zi Qi smiled: "Who can really lack those hundreds of dollars." It's just to reassure people's hearts. ”

Yun Wuniang smiled and stopped talking.

The girls have money in their hands, but their masters may not really have these girls loose.

The young master, a girl who has not become a family, has only two taels of silver per month. These two taels of silver are not enough to reward the girl, what else can you do.

If there is no one to make up for it, no one will have a hard time.

Yun Wuniang couldn't lie down, put on a cotton jacket, wrapped in big wool clothes, and went outside.

Coriander stuffed a soup woman over: "It's warm on the kang, why did the girl fall down." This year, the snow fell early, and the earth dragon had not yet burned, and it was very cold in the house. ”

Coriander has always spoken steadily, and she refuses to say a word about the late arrival of the charcoal fire. On the contrary, it is early in the cold.

Yun Wuniang sat on the couch, and saw the shallots walking in in a hurry.

Shallot is also a second-class girl in the yard, and she has just returned from the big kitchen with dinner.

"Slow down. Coriander hurriedly took the food box, "What are you going to eat today?" ”

Shallot gasped and said with a bad face, "There are only two kinds of steaming bowls in the kitchen." ”

The coriander just opened the food box, and it contained a steamed bowl made of dried tofu and a steamed bowl made of vegetarian chicken. There are also three or two side dishes, a plate of elephant eye steamed buns, and a jar of red dates and glutinous rice porridge.

It's too simple.

The two looked at each other, and they really didn't know what to do for a while.

Yun Wuniang sat at the dining table as usual, "Let's set the meal." She didn't pick either, she was born in the countryside in her previous life, went to college before entering the city, and worked hard to buy a house and a car in the city. It's kind of a small □□ job. What's wrong with the steaming bowl, in many places in the countryside, there is a custom of making the steaming bowl in advance for the New Year, and sometimes, it has to be eaten until the fifteenth day of the first month. There was nothing she couldn't accept.

Seeing that the girls' faces were still not good, Yun Wuniang smiled and said: "Now that I am guarding the national filial piety, there is nothing wrong with being simple." ”

The filial piety of the noble family not only prohibits marriage, drinking and feasting, but also includes eating meat.

Besides, no matter how many more dares there are in the kitchen, I don't dare to fool all the masters, and the vegetarian steaming bowl is more flavorful and delicious. Pretty good.

As soon as Yun Wuniang moved her chopsticks, she heard Red Pepper talking to someone outside.

After a while, I saw a tall girl in a fruit green shirt walk in, and bowed slightly: "Hello five girls." ”

"It's agate. Yun Wuniang smiled and asked her to get up, and when she saw that the red pepper who followed up was carrying a food box in her hand, she smiled and said, "But the third sister has sent me good things again." ”

Agate is the girl in front of Yun Sanniang. Yun Sanniang is Yun Wuniang's sister-in-law.
