Xilin Jueluo glanced at Shu Yierha dissatisfiedly, and said: "Your brother is strong, where is he fat? Children should grow more meat, don't talk nonsense if you don't know! By the way, your grandmother brought a few silk horses, which are new patterns this year, and two of them are specially given to you, I will let you send them to the room, you go back to see if you like it, if you like it, let someone make you two sets of new clothes." I see that the material of the clothes you are wearing is a little thick, and it is hot right now, I'm afraid it's a little stuffy, right?"

Shu Yierha was wearing clothes made of thin silk material, and she was really a little panicked, so she wanted to go back and see, and told Xilin Jue Luo, she went to her room, and before she went out, she saw Erhe striding over, followed by six mothers-in-law carrying three boxes, Shu Yierha followed him back into the house, several mothers-in-law carefully put the boxes on the table, Erhe waved them out, he said to Xilin Jue Luo and Shu Yierha with a little pride: "Guess what this is......"

Xilin Jue Luo was silent with a smile, and Shu Yierha said: "It's just a box, where can I guess it with Eniang......"

Erhe was deliberate and did not sell it, directly opened a box, and took out a one-foot-high Western table clock, Shu Yierha's eyes lit up, she wanted this for a long time, Erhe promised her to buy it, but there was no movement for several months, she thought it was casually coaxing her, so she no longer looked forward to it, who knew that she moved home today, this is really an unexpected surprise.

Xilin Jue Luo is also very happy to be able to easily control the time, but she is not very satisfied with the price of the clock, she is a more pragmatic person, she feels that there is no need to buy this kind of luxury, especially to buy three at a time, she complained in her heart that Erhe spent money indiscriminately, and her face was brought out, Erhe and her husband and wife for more than ten years, where did not know her thoughts, smiled, and explained: " Since our family has been separated, the house is divided into antique ornaments assigned to us at that time, a valuable object has not been added in recent years, we just want to be thrifty, and there is no need to be thrifty to this, not to mention that the family is not short of money! In the past two years, it has been popular to set a table clock in Beijing, this thing is convenient to see the time, and the daughter likes it, so why not buy one for her? And she has, Eniang and you don't, it doesn't look good, so I simply bought three, you don't have to worry about spending too much money, this is the same year that I entrusted a Tongzhi in Guangzhou, he expired this year, only a few days ago into Beijing to take a post, by the way to bring us, this thing is expensive to buy in Beijing, but Guangzhou is nearly half cheaper, one in Beijing costs two or three thousand taels, these three cost a total of five thousand, very worthwhile. ”

Xilin Jue Luo listened to it and felt that the price was within the range of her acceptance, not to mention that she bought it back, so she recognized it, and was busy asking people to send the largest and most luxurious one to the old lady, she kept a medium one for herself, and the smallest one was given to Shu Yierha, just so that Shu Yierha could bring it back directly, and she didn't have to arrange for someone to send it.

Shu Yierha asked the green vine to place the table clock on the high table against the wall of the main house, and the green pothos they all came to see it curiously, and Shu Yierha didn't care about them, only told them to be careful, just don't break it, and she went to the study to practice calligraphy.

After a while, Erhe came, Shu Yierha hurriedly welcomed him into the house, personally held a cup of tea and served it, Erhe first took her handwriting and checked it, praised her a few words, and then began to get to the point: "Didn't you say a few months ago that you would let you do checkers and sell it, and the manager came to pay the account a few days ago, and sent the income of these three months," he said as he took out a wad of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shu Yierha. Originally, I thought that no one bought, who knew that I was wrong, this kind of plaything has so many people like, a few months to get a lot of silver taels, originally said to give you private money, but I see that the amount is not small, you put so much cash around is not appropriate, so I asked someone to inquire, in the suburbs of Beijing Liangxiang bought you some land, this is the title deed and the head of the Zhuang family, you carefully put it away, listen to your mother, you have now begun to learn to be a housekeeper, this small grange I will hand over to you to take care of, what do you not know to ask me again. ”

Shu Yierha took the title deed and other things with both hands, thanked Erhe, and promised that he would learn from Eniang, Erhe encouraged her a few words, drank a few sips of tea, frowned and said: "I remember a few taels of good tea for you in the spring, why do you always make these flower teas to drink? It's all sweet, I'm not used to drinking it, don't give me this kind of tea next time!"

Shu Yierha couldn't help but smile, Erhe rubbed her head and left, Shu Yierha opened the title deed to see, it was written that it was 600 acres of good land, she calculated, and now the land price is 8 taels of good land per mu, which is 4,080 taels of silver? She flipped down again, in addition to the deed of a family of six, there were 500 taels of silver, a total of 5,300 taels of silver, and she got so much in three months, no wonder Erhe was surprised, Shu Yierha was also surprised.

After the surprise, Shu Yierha was left with surprises, she now has 600 acres of land in her name, 600 acres, at least 1,000 taels of income every year, the most important thing is that these are at her own disposal! Property autonomy, after thinking about it for several years, it is finally going to be realized, although compared with the income of the family, her own income is simply not worth mentioning, but this is her own private money, Shu Yierha is beautiful and bubbling when she thinks about it.

Staring at the land deed for a while, Shu Yierha remembered what Xilin Jue Luo said about the silk silk, and hurriedly let the green vines take it out, one of the two materials is a light green lotus dark pattern, and the other is a light blue yucca pattern, not to mention that the fabric itself is light and breathable, and the color is also refreshing and pleasant at a glance, she liked it at a glance, and immediately asked Mama Li to take it to the sewing room, asking them to hurry up and make a few sets of clothes.

"Mama, you let them make two sets of flag costumes, two sets of Hanfu, don't be in a hurry first, make Hanfu first. Shu Yierha confessed.

Mama Li went in response, Shu Yierha thought that she didn't need to go out, so she changed into loose and light clothes, she was a full person, she had to wear a flag outfit when she went out, she was actually quite regretful, in order to make up for this regret, she would let people make Hanfu to wear when she was at home, Xilin Jue Luo thought she was Aimei, as long as she didn't wear it out, she didn't care about her. In fact, Xilin Jueluo himself occasionally wears Hanfu, not only her, but many Manchu women will wear it, but it is not advocated above, and the people below dare not wear it blatantly.

Thinking of Erhe's dislike of flower tea, Shu Yierha said to Lu Man: "Where is the tea sent by Ama a few months ago? Find it and put it in the study, and remember to make it for him the next time Ama comes." ”
