In the early morning, the sun was shining, and Li Qingyue looked at the blue sky outside the house, feeling happy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the past few days, he and Liao Xue have been together every day, he has been painting in front of the bookcase, she has added fragrance to his red sleeves, she has embroidered patterns according to ancient paintings, and he has studied ink and licked pens for her.

A furnace of fragrance, a pot of fragrant tea, her ears are her warbler and swallow words, and the nose is fragrant. Liao Xue insisted on waiting until he got married before he could be intimate with him, but with rouge on his side, he was still satisfied, and the Lameitu, which could be completed in two days, was not completed until last night.

If his father and mother insisted that Liao Xue be his aunt, then he would take Liao Xue to live in the capital for a long time. No matter which lady his parents asked him to marry, he let the woman stay in Yangzhou after getting married. After a hundred years of parents, the woman has no children under her knees, even if she is unwilling to agree to let him and Liao Xue's children be recorded in her name, at that time he will think of a way to take the woman back to her parents' house with seven out of seven rules, so that Liao Xue can manage the middle school in a dignified manner, although it is difficult to correct the concubine, but Liao Xue will not care about these, she is high-minded, not those ignorant women who are unbearable.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyue couldn't hide the smile on his face, and when he arrived at the academy, he returned the plum picture of the Mei family to Liu Lanshi, but he didn't have the heart to listen to the master's lecture, so he went back to the willow tree early, and played with Liao Xue to enjoy the famous paintings and recite poems.

Li Qingyue felt that this was the best and most comfortable day he had since he was a child, and now is the time when the second brother comes back and can hand over to him the money that his father left him to use after becoming an official, and his life will be even better.

The capital is not easy to live in. Five thousand taels of silver seems to be a lot, but if you put on a few sets of noodles and buy a few jade antiques, there is not much left.

The next day, Jinbaolou sent a set of gold-inlaid jade heads, which he accompanied Liao Xue to fight a few days ago, and the deposit of two hundred taels had already been given.

The mantissa is six hundred taels.

Li Qingyue took a deep breath, the second brother is really, just send Li Qingyue back, what are you rubbing in Yangzhou, why haven't you come back?

He only has 1,000 taels, and after paying the mantissa of Jinbao Zhai, there are only 400 taels left.

He hesitated a little, and Liao Xue's voice sounded in his ears: "Shiro, are these really for me? ”

A smile tugged at his lips and he said, "If you like it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a gold-inlaid jade apricot hairpin and inserted it in Liao Xue's bun, Liao Xue's cheeks were red, and she was as shy as a delicate water lily in the light rain.

Jinbaolou came to deliver the goods to the usual scene, and said with a smile on his face: "Son and Mrs. are really a natural pair, and no one looks better than Mrs. wearing this set of heads." ”

Li Qingyue laughed, Liao Xue was obviously still dressed as a girl, and even the delivery person must have seen that they were getting closer.

Liao Xue was even more shy, and Li Qingyue was in a better mood, and generously paid six hundred taels of silver to Jinbaolou.

In the afternoon, the housekeeper came and said that someone from the grocery store and the herb store had come to settle the bill.

People like them don't have to take money to buy things, and in the middle of the month and at the end of the month, these shops will come to the door to pay the bill.

The people in the willow tree were all recently bought, but fortunately, a few of them had worked in big families and knew some rules, and what they handed over to Li Qingyue was the accounts that had been checked with the shop.

The money in the grocery store is not much, only twenty taels.

But the herb shop is three hundred and sixty taels.

Li Qingyue frowned, and looked at the bill carefully, it was all bird's nest, snow clams, pearl powder, etc., as well as ginseng, deer antler, and angelica.

Liao Xue suffered a lot in the nunnery of the Liao family in Yangzhou, and her body was delicate, and these medicinal materials were bought for her to nourish her body.

Li Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the medicinal herb shop still understood the rules and did not memorize them randomly.

He immediately asked his mother-in-law to go to the checkout.

But when the money was taken out, he was stunned in his heart, and when he gave the three hundred and eighty taels, he only had twenty taels of silver.

He asked the woman, "Is there any other place to settle the bill?"

The mother-in-law thought for a while and said, "Yangzhou Xiaochu may also be able to settle the bill." ”

There was no kitchen lady in the capital who could cook Yangzhou cuisine for a while, and Liao Xue was not used to eating Beijing cuisine.

The area of Liushuli and Meihuali was the place where southerners lived in the early years, and even the place names were different from other places in the capital, not "alleys", but "lanes" and "lanes".

Although many new families have already moved into this area, both southerners and northerners, there are still mostly southerners.

Yangzhou Kitchen is just at the corner of the street, the façade is not big, but it makes authentic Yangzhou dishes.

Li Qingyue is not particular about eating, after Liao Xue came, he was reluctant to let Liao Xue eat badly, so he asked the Yangzhou chef to take care of their three meals a day, and the cook at home was only responsible for cooking for the people and stewing supplements for Liao Xue.

Hearing that the account of the little kitchen in Yangzhou has not been settled, Li Qingyue was furious, and said to the housekeeper: "You are raising you for idle meals, why hasn't the account over there been settled?"

That mother-in-law was scolded very aggrieved, it's not easy to settle the bill, you just need to pay the money, and you are worried that people won't come to you to collect money?

In less than half an hour, the mother-in-law called the people from the small kitchen in Yangzhou, and the food for a month did not eat much, only fifteen taels of silver.

Fifteen taels of silver is not enough for Li Qingyue to buy a lake pen, but today, he is a little stupid.

took out the fifteen taels of silver, and he only had five taels on him.

Five taels of silver!

After the age of ten, Li Qingyue has never been so poor.

How can you live for five taels of silver?

But it doesn't seem to matter, since the accounts have been settled for these shops, it means that they can continue to pay on credit, and when they come back next month, the second brother has already returned to the capital.

Li Qingyue generously closed the accounts of the Yangzhou kitchen, turned around, and saw Liao Xue looking at him appreciatively: "Shilang, you did the right thing, that is, you should close the accounts early, so as not to let these peddlers and pawns line up to settle the accounts, so that people can see that it is detrimental to Sven." ”

Li Qingyue's back straightened, and he knew that only Liao Xue knew him best.

But only five taels of silver is too shabby, where to get some silver, he is the head of the case, only five taels of silver on his body, and it is a shame to say it.

It seems that he will go back to Poplar Hutong tomorrow, and when the second brother leaves, he must have left silver for the steward over there to pay for the monthly expenses of the next people, as well as the daily chewing in the house.

Although the steward over there was not an old man from Yangzhou, he also knew him and once rewarded him with silver. Besides, he didn't borrow much, only borrowed a hundred taels, which was not a big deal for the second brother, and the second brother bought a house in Suzhou, and a flower was tens of thousands of taels.

Early the next morning, Li Qingyue asked the little guy to go to Poplar Hutong, but in less than an hour, the little guy came back.

"Fourth master, the poplar alley is locked, the little one thinks it is strange, go to the aunt's house next door to ask, listen to his porter said, the king steward has something at home, go back to the countryside, the second master is not at home, the king steward is worried that the people under him are not easy to control, so he gave them a monthly example, let those people join the relatives, visit the friends of the friends, and come back on the tenth day of the next month. ”

What the?

Steward Wang is also a subordinate himself, he not only dares to give himself a holiday, but also dares to take all the people under him on vacation, is there any rule for this?
