The old lady nodded in agreement, and Minglan continued, "I think the number of flowers in each room is not as good as directly setting the number, and the monthly consumption is within the number, and the flower room will be bought according to the meaning of the four rooms, without asking the meaning of the mother, all agree, and if it exceeds, then you can only pay out of your own pocket, but if the flowers bought in which month do not exceed, let the mother convert it into silver, and give it to the eldest aunt at the beginning of next month, so it seems fair, grandmother, what do you think?"

Before the old lady could speak, the third lady smiled and said, "I think Minglan has a very good idea, and if you stipulate it like this, I think everyone will cherish flowers more." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The third wife loves flowers and cherishes flowers, and the same flowers can be raised in the fourth room for three months, and they can live for at least half a year in the third room.

The fourth lady pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "I also think this is a good idea." ”

She doesn't have a special hobby for flowers, but every time the eldest lady buys rare flowers to give away, she feels that she doesn't want to suffer too much.

The third lady was also dissatisfied with the eldest lady's approach, but she had a good relationship with the Mu family, knowing that the old lady felt that the garden was too expensive, and she wanted to buy it again, and the Mu family would make matters worse.

Only the eldest lady had a cold face and didn't want to agree, but everyone else nodded, and her opinion was not so important.

The old lady also thought it was feasible, so she said, "How much is the right amount?"

Minglan said with a smile, "Grandmother, you said how much the garden is used every month, you think it's about the same, if you deduct the big garden, you can give four rooms on average." ”

"It can't exceed fifteen hundred taels. ”

Minglan said with a smile, "Then set 1,500 taels, the big garden will deduct 600 taels for backup, 900 taels and 4 rooms and Changsong Courtyard will be divided equally, third aunt, fourth aunt, do you think it is enough?"

The third lady smiled, "That's enough." ”

She couldn't spend twenty taels a month, and the fourth wife felt that she had an extra hundred taels of income every month, how could it be enough.

The eldest lady said, "One hundred and eighty taels, which is a lot, but if you really want to buy rare flowers as gifts, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy a pot." ”

Minglan said with a smile, "In fact, there are two kinds of gifts, one is to send them yourself, and the other is to send them on behalf of the Bofu, and of course you pay for it yourself. ”

And the ability of the eldest lady is to not distinguish between public and private, and use the money in the public to give favors to the big house.

The old lady saw Minglan's eyes more and more appreciative, sensible and filial, in this way, Mu Shi was much more relaxed, and said, "Let's do it like this in the future." ”

Mu Shi sat on the side and didn't speak, at this moment, she asked, "If a banquet is held in any month, six hundred taels will not be enough, at that time, it will be allocated from the public school?"

Minglan said, "The house doesn't hold a few banquets a year, even if the banquet is held, the expenses are calculated, and then the money from the public is organized, it has always been the eldest aunt and aunt, and the mother first holds six hundred taels, if it is not enough, you can let people put what the garden lacks, how much is needed, and report the number to the eldest aunt." ”

From beginning to end, there was nothing to do with the eldest wife, except for depression, regret should not mention pine nut scales, let Minglan use the topic to play.

After Minglan finished speaking, she had nothing to do, so she retired.

Minglan didn't know that after she left, the old lady praised her for being a good housekeeper in the future, not only being fair, but also being organized, much better than the Mu family.

Mu was ashamed and happy.

Gu Yinlan said, "The second sister left, and she didn't say anything to give to the four girls of the Protector's Mansion, did she go empty-handed?"

Here Gu Yinlan asked aloud, and over there, on the way to Youlan Garden, Bizhu also asked.

"When I first came to the door, of course, I had to deliver something. ”

After returning to the Flowing Frost Garden, Minglan went into the study and painted seriously.

Outside the study, the old lady rewarded Bizhu with a pair of silver bracelets, and those maids surrounded her, with a look of envy and jealousy.

I still don't know that Bizhu took advantage of the chaos on the street to rob the golden hairpin, jade bracelet and pearl, otherwise I would be crazy with jealousy.

Red Ying stood far away, holding a tray in her hand, her lips almost biting blood.

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

After breakfast, Minglan took Bizhu to Changsong Temple.

Today, she is wearing a jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt, combing Chaoyun bun, a red hosta on her head, swaying tassels, echoing the flame forehead makeup in the center of her eyebrows, beautiful eyes, peach cheeks with a smile, elegant and vulgar, a smile, a smile, a static and moving, there is a spirit of Zhong Ling.

The old lady was full of praise for Minglan's dress, "This dress is good, dignified and elegant without losing its playfulness, but the head is too plain, in winter, bring the jade hairpin in my dressing box." ”

Soon, Fudong took the hosta, and the old lady took it and put it on for Minglan.

The jade hairpin and Minglan are dressed in a jade skirt, which complements each other and adds a bit of charm.

Gu Yinlan was on the side, her eyes were hot, and she said coquettishly, "Grandmother, you can't just take care of the second sister, you can also see if there is anything wrong with me." ”

She swayed the hem of her skirt twice, and the butterfly embroidered on it fluttered its wings.

She wore a Jintang peony Shu brocade skirt, which was different from Minglan's elegance, the color was grand, in order to suppress a gorgeous dress, the hairpin on her head brought several sticks, looking at it from a distance, it was very beautiful.

But when I look closely, I feel that it is too luxurious, after all, it is not yet time, and although her waist is as slender as a willow, her chest is not proud enough, so she loses her charm.

After the old lady saw it, she took off two golden hairpins, asked the maid to take the silk flowers, and picked two begonia flowers for her hairpins.

Dressed up like this, it looks much better, but Gu Yinlan is not satisfied, the old lady rewarded Minglan with a jasper hairpin, and only gave her two silk flowers, which is too far away.

After sitting for a while, the old lady let them go.

Out of the second door, a maid in a pale pink skirt held a camellia and guarded it, which was the pine nut scales mentioned by the eldest lady yesterday.

Camellia is elegant and quiet, beautiful in shape, the leaves are thick green and shiny, the flower shape is gorgeous and colorful, it is a treasure of camellia.

Seeing that Minglan glanced at the camellia several times, Gu Yinlan was a little proud, and she asked, "Although you said you didn't need to bring it, my mother still decided to let me take the pine nut scales to the Protector's Mansion, what gift did you prepare?"

Minglan didn't care what she sent, she said lightly, "I scribbled a painting casually." ”

Gu Yinlan was disdainful in her heart, although her paintings were not bad, but in real terms, she couldn't even compare to her, and it was strange that the girls in the Protector's Mansion would be rare, so she didn't say more.

Before getting into the carriage, Gu Yinlan also told the maid to take care of the flowers carefully and not knock them off.

Inside the carriage, Gu Yinlan has been looking at the bronze mirror to look at the makeup, when passing through the busy street, Minglan lifted the curtain to look outside, she counted, on a street, there are five rice sellers, all of whom are prosperous.

In the past two days, she has been thinking about buying rice, and if she doesn't think of a way to deal with it, she will keep thinking about it, as if she has fallen into a dead end.

Along the way, she was thinking of a solution, Gu Yinlan talked to her, she didn't pay attention, and finally Gu Yinlan was annoyed and pushed her, "I'm talking to you." ”
