Chapter 462: Gold to Silver
Qin Su said a few words, and successfully made Mrs. Tai's face change slightly. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
However, on the wrinkled old face, these slight changes were almost non-existent, and soon, she changed her indifferent expression again, and said with a slight bow: "Okay, I know." Our Liuniang is really a good and honest child. β
Being praised as kind, this is the first time in Qin Su's two lives, she can't help but laugh a little in her heart, her face is still shy, and she whispered: "Great grandmother, don't praise Ah Su anymore, Ah Su deserves it." As he spoke, he put away all the papers on which the astrolabe had been drawn.
Mrs. Tai didn't seem to hear her words, her face didn't move, she only held the teacup in her mind.
If she still hasn't really felt the things like Guanlu that Qin Su said before, then the "heir" that Qin Su pointed out at the end made her secretly shocked.
As far as she knew, the two maids in the man's room were both born at the beginning of this year, and they were all daughters, and then in April this year, two more maids were about to give birth.
"Fate without children...... Mrs. Tai couldn't help muttering to herself.
Her voice was so soft that others could barely hear it, but Qin Su listened to it for a while, so he deliberately opened his eyes wide and asked, "Grandmother, what were you talking about just now?"
Mrs. Tai came back to her senses slightly, put down the teacup casually, and wiped the corners of her lips with a cloth towel: "I didn't say anything, I just sighed, our little Liuniang has grown up, and she has acted much more thoughtfully than usual." β
Being able to point out the difficulties of the other party's heirs in front of Zhou Yu shows that Qin Su has a very sincere heart, and then secretly tells Mrs. Tai the truth, which shows her filial piety and respect for her elders. Mrs. Tai looked at Qin Su at this time, and it was all pleasing to the eye.
After receiving Mrs. Tai's praise, Qin Su naturally thanked her humbly, and at this time, Concubine Zhou also came back, and reported when she entered the door: "Mrs. Tai's words are all done." β
Mrs. Tai waved her hand indifferently, and Zhou Yu stood behind her again, and Mrs. Tai pulled Qin Su and said in a harmonious voice: "Speaking of which, recently I have been listening to rumors outside in a trance, all of which say that the imperial court is going to make something 'scrap gold to silver', and those who are good will have to abolish gold, and all future livelihood transactions will be exchanged for silver." I thought at the time, fortunately, Xiao Liuniang said it early, otherwise, there would be nowhere to spend all the money in our family. β
In the spring of the fourteenth year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the system of "scrapping gold to silver" was a foregone conclusion, and the will of the imperial court should have been promulgated half a month ago, but Qingzhou was too far away from the capital, and when the will was transmitted here, I was afraid that it would take some time.
For Qin Su, these are actually not important, the important thing is that this matter has finally not escaped the trajectory of his previous life, and Qin Su is deeply pleased with this.
Of course, on the surface, Qin Su still has to show a little surprise moderately, which is in line with her situation of "copying menstruation behind closed doors for more than a month, and ignoring foreign affairs with both ears".
"This matter is actually related to the imperial court, this is too coincidental!" Raising his sleeves to cover his mouth, Qin Su's face was just the right amount of surprise, and he said with admiration: "The great grandmother is really wise, and she knows everything in the world, but I don't know anything about it." Compared to you, I'm really a frog at the bottom of the well. β
These words naturally caused Mrs. Tai to laugh again, and the atmosphere in the western room was much more relaxed, and Concubine Zhou on the side also sighed lightly.
The business was over here, so Qin Su didn't delay any longer, and after a few more gossips, he got up and retired.
Mrs. Tai didn't leave her any longer, but said in a gentle voice: "You have worked hard today, and after visiting your grandmother and mother for a while, you will go back and rest." After speaking, he turned back and instructed Zhou Yu: "You accompany Liuniang to the East Courtyard, and you will say what I said, Liuniang's body is weak and weak, and it is not suitable to be tired, if you want to tire her, I will not follow." β
This is because Qin Su is very useful today, and he has come to support her.
Qin Su would never refuse such a good thing, so he thanked Mrs. Tai, and Zhou Yu received the order and went out of Dehui Hall with Qin Su.
Stepping on the verandah leading to the east courtyard, Qin Su sent Ah Li to follow behind, then called Zhou Yu to the front and said softly: "Thank you for today's events." β
Zhou Yu's perception of Qin Su at this time was very different from that of a year ago, and she hurriedly said when she heard this: "It's all a trivial matter, but it's just a matter of saying it in passing." Mrs. Tai actually wanted to ask the girl to do this a long time ago, even if there was no reminder from me, she would have asked the girl to give Xiao Erlang her life sooner or later. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu pouted in the direction of the East Courtyard, compared the word "Mrs. of the East Courtyard" with her mouth, and said: "Speaking of which, it's all this one, that's a heart that has pounced on it, even if Mrs. Tai doesn't want to pay attention to it, it can't be done." And Xiao Erlang is a famous beauty in the county, his family background is good, and Mrs. Tai is also in her eyes. Therefore, I only mentioned this matter once, and within a few days, Mrs. Tai got Xiao Erlang's eight characters in her hands. β
Qin Su was a little curious at this time, so he asked, "Is it easy to inquire about Xiao Jialangjun's birthday?"
Zhou Yu laughed when she heard this, with a disapproving face: "The girl is naΓ―ve to ask, there are thousands of things in this world, most of them are 'easy if you have money, but difficult if you don't have money'." The Xiao family's situation is different from the past, but that's it. β
Xu was influenced by Qin Su, and Zhou Yu didn't look down on the Xiao family very much, and she didn't have much respect between her words, so she spoke easily.
Qin Su was stunned, but immediately understood, and then laughed: "Oh, it turns out that this is the case, but I was too stupid to think of going this way." As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Yu and smiled.
The Xiao family is not very wealthy in the first place, but the Xiao family is not like the Qin family who can be willing to put down their faces, they know that it is important to earn money, and they always have to hold a high shelf. The masters are still like this, and the servants below can imagine that their eyes are going to be hungry and green, and it is indeed not difficult to spend some money to inquire about Xiao Erlang's eight characters.
Qin Su was in a good mood, and walked leisurely with Zhou Yu, and arrived at the East Courtyard in a short time.
With Concubine Zhou as her company and Mrs. Tai's words, Mrs. Wu would not embarrass Qin Su, and said a few words to her kindly, and then let her go.
Before leaving the gate of Dongxuan Pavilion, Qin Su looked back at the courtyard several times by sorting out his clothes, but saw that everything in the courtyard was as usual, the maids in green skirts performed their duties, and the servants were also well-trained.
Qin Su said to Jiang Fei, who came out to see her off: "It's really been a long time since I've been to Dongxuan Pavilion, I often dreamed of my grandmother when I went to Beijing, and this courtyard is often in my dreams, and now I look at it like this, I can't tell whether it's a dream or a reality." As she spoke, she sighed quietly, as if she was infinitely sad.
