However, Qing'er didn't know that her cup was copied at this time, and she was still immersed in the happiness of getting the first pot of gold.
She and Sister Qingwen made a small profit, excluding the cost, there were two or three hundred taels of silver in the account, Qingwen had never seen so much money, so she was so excited that she hid in the west wing and cried bitterly.
Qing'er knew that she was thinking of her cousin again, if she had so much silver back then......
The two hundred taels of silver tickets were handed over to grandma for safekeeping, and the remaining seventy taels of silver were still handed over to Qingwen to hide, which was considered the private room of the two sisters, and the living conditions were improved first, and the craftsman was asked to make a fire kang in the bedroom, with a depth of two meters and five, and the width was the same as the opening of the house, and a kang table was bought, so that Qingwen could do needlework on the kang, especially in winter, when the fire pit burned, the whole house was warm and very comfortable.
Wang Gou'er asked the carpenter master in the village to make two kang cabinets for them, one for each of her and Qingwen, to put clothes and bedding, and at the same time, to hide private money.
In order to earn back face for her granddaughter, Jia's mother held a birthday banquet for her, Wang Xifeng began to mutter, next, it is the birthday of the second wife and Tanchun, Mrs. Wang is the first day of March, and Tanchun is the second day of March.
Coincidentally, before the Qingming Festival, the old lady in the palace was critically ill, and the important ministers in the court were all worried, so it was naturally inconvenient to feast.
This root carving undoubtedly brought infinite surprise and comfort to Mrs. Wang, who had just experienced a setback.
Mrs. Wang immediately rewarded Wang Gou'er with a snuff box, and in addition, she also rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver.
This is Wang Gou'er has been born for decades, relying on his own ability to earn the largest amount of money, silver is still a small matter, the snuff bottle is carved from ivory, the bottom has the seal of the royal manufactory, it is worth a lot of money, enough for Wang Gou'er to show off.
The day before the Qingming Festival, the old lady, all the ladies in the capital should enter the court and follow the class, according to the title system, the edict to the world, where there is a title of the family, no feast music within a year, and the common people are not allowed to marry in March.
According to the custom, after the 21st day, the spirit can be invited to enter the tomb and sent to Xiaoci County for burial, from Jinling City to Xiaoci County for more than ten days, therefore, Mrs. Jia Muwang was not in the house for more than a month, and there was no adult man and elder in the family, so Aunt Xue was invited to help look after the house.
The official eunuchs of Jinling City, all those who raised Youling, were all dismissed, and the twelve girls who studied drama in Lixiangyuan were naturally no exception.
Jiafu has always wanted to show charity, and there was absolutely no reason to sell them again, so he notified his family to claim them, and even the money for selling them was exempted.
Some of the girls are orphans who have nowhere to go, and some are worried about being sold again, so they are taken away four or five, and the rest voluntarily stay in Rongguo Mansion as slaves.
These girls have been learning drama since childhood, and they don't understand everything about female celebrities and serving their masters, but no one complains about them, and they are diligent when they call a leg when something happens.
At this time, Qing'er and several sisters who came to Jiafu to live in the next year are also familiar, she is very sympathetic to Mrs. Xing's niece Xing Yanyan, she borrowed to live in the Jinlou, and her cousin Yingchun is named Ermutou, she has always shaken her head when she asks and doesn't know, and she doesn't know how to belch when she pokes a needle, where can she take care of her.
In the Rongguo Mansion, although Jia Yu is the eldest son and has the hereditary position of a first-class general, he does not live with Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing grew up in a poor family, and she is not good at coping with everything, compared with the aunt and nephew of the Wang family, it is inevitable that she will be stingy and mean, and the minions rarely like her.
The brother and sister-in-law's family was poor, and Mrs. Xing had no help, so she asked Xing Yuyan to save one or two of her monthly allowance for her parents' family.
Jia Yingchun's nurse often steals her things out as silver, how can other slaves and maids be clean, Xing Xiuyan is a guest house, and it is even more difficult to make a noise if there are fewer things, lest people say that she is troublesome and dislikes her.
In the past few days, there is no powerful master in the family, the eldest grandmother Li Kun took her sister-in-law Tanchun and Xue Baochai housekeeper, everyone was not afraid, and gambled in the garden every day.
Not long after Qingming, the weather was still cold in the morning and evening, and she had no extra clothes to wear, so she casually asked the mother-in-law who was washing the clothes, who knew that people would not follow, and ridiculed Xing Xiuyan with unpleasant words: "What a young lady with a head and a face, a person who relies on relatives for charity, I have eyes to see your things......
Sister Feng went home to the old lady to prepare the accompanying items, and by the way came to the Grand View Garden to inspect it, passing by the brocade building, and when she heard the words of her mother-in-law, she turned in.
"Who are you not looking at?" asked Wang Xifeng with a smile.
"Two/Grandma, I'm talking to my wife's niece, relying on my wife's support, trying to blackmail us slaves, saying that the little jacket is missing. "The mother-in-law knew that Sister Feng and her mother-in-law had always been at odds, and thought that Mrs. Xing's niece and daughter just catered to her thoughts, as if she was inviting merit, and she was not afraid of Sister Feng as usual.
Sister Feng was not angry, and looked around the room carelessly, it was an open secret that her aunt and nephew were not in harmony with Mrs. Xing, and she really didn't like to see people related to Mrs. Xing, but at this time, looking at Xing Xiuyan, she didn't look indifferent or disliked, wearing a half-worn thin shirt, and the bed mattress was also very simple, and the things sent by Jia's mother were useless, so they were stacked aside.
When this girl and her sister-in-law chanted poetry together in the poetry club, she also noticed that she was not humble and indifferent, obviously quite talented, but not public, all the sisters on a snowy day were cloaks of feather gauze orangutan felt, dressed like flowers, only she wore an old jacket, frozen and shivering, but she could not see the slightest inferiority and self-pity, always smiled faintly, demure and detached, which made people not respectful.
After watching it for a long time, Sister Feng slowly turned around and said to her mother-in-law: "Oh, I don't like to manage this family, and I actually let the girls blackmail the slaves to make a living, you can tell me, what is the blackmail?"
When Wang Xifeng is seriously angry, it is terrible, but when he is like this, it is not as simple as being terrible.
When the mother-in-law heard that this was wrong, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Lian Er/Grandma Mingjian, the slave didn't mean to slander the second/grandma, but Miss Xing's own clothes were missing, and she came to ask us, and the slave was not angry, so she said a few angry words......"
"That being said, it's not yours, Miss Xing is my honored guest, and now she lives here, she is your master, and the master's things are gone, don't ask you servants who serve, who should you ask?
Sister Feng suddenly turned her face, her willow eyebrows rose upside down, and she pointed at her mother-in-law and said, "Slap your mouth!"
The mother-in-law knelt upright, and hit herself in the mouth with both hands.
"Lian Er, grandma, it was me who was careless, I put things indiscriminately, I don't know where I threw them, it's none of my mother's business, please forgive her this time. Xing Xiuyan hurriedly interceded for her mother-in-law.
"If the master does everything well, what are you doing with these minions? Looking at Miss Xing's good temperament, how she treats her on weekdays, I don't know!
When several maids in the courtyard heard this, they knelt down together, complaining that the woman didn't know what to do, which affected everyone.
Xing Xiuyan pleaded again and again, and finally knelt down for Sister Feng and begged her, only then did she say that for Miss Xing's sake, forgive you this time.
Wang Xifeng himself is vicious, but he is most sympathetic to those who are gentle and kind-hearted, so he immediately went back to his house and took a small red crepe jacket, a small leather jacket with pine flowers and beads, a royal blue brocade brocade skirt, and a Buddha blue silver mouse gown, wrapped up for Feng'er to give to Xiuyan.
Where was Xiuyan willing to accept it, he resolutely refused, and took out the purse he made and gave it to Feng'er.
Qing'er hid aside and watched for a long time, and when Feng'er left, she came out, carrying the minions on her back and said to Xiuyan: "Qing'er thanks Sister Xiuyan for her help, those have a total of fifteen pieces, three taels of silver each, deducting the cost of brocade and flower thread, you should pay thirty-eight taels of silver, please accept it." ”
"Miss Qing'er is coaxing me, right? How can you sell it at such a price?" Xing Xiuyan said in surprise.
"It made the girl laugh, I was deceiving people that the thing was imported from the West, and Miss Tuoxue put it in her store to sell it, and I hoped that Sister Xiuyan would cover it up for me. ”
Qing'er's honesty suddenly narrowed the distance between her and Xiuyan, and she smiled again: "I'm also out of helplessness, if it weren't for the poverty of my family, who would think of this crooked idea." ”
Xing Xiuyan returned the silver to Qing'er and said, "If your family waits for the silver, please take these first, and then give it to me when it is relaxed." ”
"Thank you sister for your mercy, the two people in Qing'er's family rushed to do it, and they also made a few taels of silver, now they are much more comfortable, if they need my sister's help in the future, I have to ask my sister to help me at that time." ”
Qing'er put the silver back on the bookcase, and Xiuyan was about to talk, when she heard someone giggling outside the door and teasing: "The peach is not fragrant, the apricot is not red, and the cold has laughed at the east wind." It seems that it is not an ordinary musk deer (color), and the shade is made of her ice and snow. What an idle cloud and wild crane, we can't wait for you to come when we open a poetry club, what are we doing hiding at home every day?" )
