Time is slow and fast, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, the notice in front of the prefect's mansion has been posted, and the list of talents in this section Zhen Mingjie is written in the second position, and the fourth master sent someone to take the lead in returning to the house to report the good news, and he went to the guest house to order a few tables and wait for the table and sent it to the master's house.

When the fourth wife received the news, she hurriedly asked Mama Huang to lead Huixiang to reward the people in the courtyard, and she went to Changkang Courtyard.

The old lady was also very excited when she heard the good news, and said to the eldest lady on the side: "Quickly carry two baskets of copper coins to the door to give a reward, and add two hundred yuan to the people in the house, so that the kitchen can prepare and add vegetables." ”

The eldest lady's smile paused on her face, and her eyes flickered, "Mother, we are all happy for this Ming brother to be admitted to Xiucai, but isn't it still the Fuxue exam in three days?

The old lady's eyes widened, "You," after taking a deep breath, she said: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you don't take my words seriously when you become a family, don't you, Brother Ming is the second on this list, how can you not enter the school with such a result? Wait for three days to celebrate? What kind of joy is that?"

The eldest lady's shoulders shrunk, "Then, mother, how much copper coins are ready to be sprinkled in the outer courtyard? Each of these subordinates has a reward of two hundred wen, and I don't know if there are so many copper coins in the treasury?"

The fourth lady chuckled, "If the sister-in-law doesn't have much copper coins there, you can take the silver and go to the ticket number to change it, it's very welcome there." ”

The eldest lady shouted, "Go to the ticket number to change, that's a loss." Wait another two months until the end of the year, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for the usual 050 copper coins, but now the exchange can only be exchanged for consistent money. ”

The fourth wife's voice also became louder, "Sister-in-law, it turns out that you still plan to exchange silver for copper coins at the end of the year, this is a rare thing, do we save silver on weekdays?"

The fourth wife's heart is clear, the family's weekday income is dependent on the field and the store, the field is rented every autumn, and the store is settled every month, and most of the money collected is copper money, so it will be once every three years, before the wax month, go to the ticket number to change it into silver and save it. Today, he even said that there was no copper coin, which shows that he took her for a fool.

The fourth wife is not stupid, the old lady is not stupid, how is the income of the family, although she is not in charge of specific affairs, but the accounts are all watching, where does she not know whether there are copper coins in the warehouse.

On weekdays, the eldest lady picks the door and picks the door, but now it is a happy event for her grandson, and it is the second show chief in Zhen Jiajie's generation, so on the great joy of the glory of the ancestors, the eldest daughter-in-law also clenched her hands and refused to spill money, how to make her not angry. She just likes the big room no matter how much she likes it, but she won't dislike the four rooms, they are all her relatives, and the four rooms are still the most intimate little son.

"Does the eldest daughter-in-law want me to let Mama Chen open the warehouse?"

The eldest lady shuddered, realizing that the old lady was really angry, "Where is the need to bother Mama Chen, the daughter-in-law will run in person, Xu is the daughter-in-law is wrong." The daughter-in-law asked people to move all the copper coins out of the warehouse. ”

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

It's just that after a few breaths, he turned back and followed the old lady.

"I heard that the eldest daughter-in-law said that she was going to the warehouse to carry copper coins and sprinkle them, what is going on?"

As soon as the old lady came back, he stared at the fourth lady and asked, which made the fourth lady's heart cold. The old lady looked down on their Yu family back then, thinking that the Yu family was full of copper smell, if it wasn't for the old lady nodding, I was afraid that she would not be able to marry into the Zhen Mansion.

The fourth lady did not answer, but only looked at the old lady.

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady, "Didn't I just get the good news that my brother was admitted to Xiucai?" Thinking that this is the second Xiucai of my grandchildren, why should I celebrate it? So I asked the eldest daughter-in-law to go to the treasury to take a look, and sprinkled two baskets of copper coins at the door, so that the neighbors on the street were festive. ”

The old lady stroked her beard, thought for a while, and then said: "There is no need to sprinkle copper coins outside the door, it's just a show of fame, it's too wanton to make us frivolous." I will reward the people in the house, and everyone who receives an errand will be rewarded with 200 Wen, the second-class will be rewarded with 400 Wen, and the first-class will be rewarded with 600 Wen, and everyone will be rewarded. Also, eldest daughter-in-law, you asked people to prepare four-color gifts for Brother Ming's son. ”

The eldest lady was proud when she heard the old lady's words at first, but when she heard that her face was as black as pot ash, she knew that she wouldn't go to the door to sprinkle money, anyway, no one knew how much she spilled, and how much she sprinkled was not up to herself. But now it's okay, the places that can do hands and feet can't do hands and feet, and the places that can't do hands and feet have to be cashed out one by one, she saw the pile of copper coins that had been packed up waving at her, this flesh hurt so much that she couldn't even show a smile, and she answered weakly and went out.

Three days later, Zhen Mingjie took the objects from the children's test and entered the examination room again, and the results came out the next day.

When Zhen Wanyi began to learn to make shoes and read books alone, the steps of winter entered. When I got up early in the morning, it was white everywhere, passing through the mist, and the wet and cold were blowing in the damp air, making people feel cold in their bones.

A carbon basin was burned in the room, and the cotton clothes and fur in the cupboard were turned out. Yingyue took the brocade jacket she wore last year and gestured on Zhen Wanyi, "Miss Nine has grown a lot this year, and this jacket is still new, so she can't wear it." ”

Cherry also said on the side: "Miss Nine is about to be as tall as Miss Seven." According to the slave maid, the young lady in the house will definitely be the highest Miss Nine in the future, and she will also be the most beautiful. ”

"That is, the fourth wife in the house is the most glamorous, and the young lady is like the fourth wife, she must be good-looking. ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at the blurred little face in the bronze mirror, and could only see a general outline, saying that she looked like the fourth wife because of a pair of phoenix eyes and red lips. The fourth wife is a northerner, and she is plump and tall than ordinary southern women, and her facial features are more three-dimensional. The three children were also a little taller than the people of the same age.

And the twins are even more blessed with the advantages of the couple, especially Zhen Wanyi, with three-dimensional facial features, although she is tall but her skeleton is very small, and she has the unique grace of southern women in her gestures, there is a sense of contradictory integration, fortunately, she is young, and she is not often seen on weekdays, but no one notices this change.

"It's coming to the Xia Yuan Festival soon, and I heard that the prefect is going to hold a grand event this year, so it's better to make a solemn dress for the young lady first. Miss, what color do you think you're going to make?"

After studying female celebrity for more than half a year, Zhen Wanyi also knows a little about the matching of various clothes and jewelry. "Let's make a crimson jacket with a brown skirt first. ”

Cherry continued: "Make two more garnet red clothes, Miss looks the best in this color." The material sent by the fourth wife last time also had a garnet red makeup tweed. ”
