"Master......" Doudou plunged into Granny Yi's arms and cried bitterly, "Master, Yuan'er doesn't want your pension money." ”

Granny Yi stroked Doudou's little head and smiled: "Silly child, I have savings for the teacher, and don't you still have you for the elderly, these are not as good as ready-made silver, and you still need to learn to take care of it carefully, if you collapse it in a daze, I don't have it here." ”

Doudou still sobbed.

"All right, my big account, put away your tears. From this month onwards, the proprietor will pay you ten taels of silver every month, and if the accounts are not clear, see how I clean you up!" Granny Yi patted Doudou's back and pretended to scold.

Doudou withdrew from Granny Yi's arms, wiped her tears and muttered: "The big boss is really stingy, only ten taels of silver a month, and people are still waiting for money to buy gifts." ”

Granny Yi stretched out her hand and gently knocked on the door of her head, "Ten taels is really a lot, and I don't want to think about your father's dignified four-grade prefect, how much money is a year's worth of money?

Doudou pushed the pamphlet back to Granny Yi, "Then this one is still left on the master's side, there are many people in my house, and it won't be good if I lose it." ”

Granny Yi nodded and put the booklet back in the box, and took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to Doudou: "Take it, prepare gifts for your aunt and them, this is the first time you have earned money by your own ability, although it is not enough to buy anything expensive, but it is good to do your best." ”

Doudou's cheekiness is very rare to turn red, she takes money before she works, she is indeed capable enough!

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the purchasing power of silver was very amazing, and an ordinary people's family, ten taels of silver a year was enough to solve the problem of food and clothing. Moreover, ordinary people generally rarely see silver, whether it is earned or spent, mostly copper plates.

But at the same time, if you really let go. The Great Zhou, like any dynasty, did not spend much money.

Doudou spent less than two taels of silver from one hundred taels of silver, and finally bought all the gifts for his aunt's family, although they were not gorgeous and expensive. But it was very much to her liking.

A pair of thumb-wide dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, forty taels. Although compared to the old lady and Gu Chaodai in the Yuan Mansion, it is not worth mentioning in terms of material or value, but fortunately, the style is classic and the workmanship is exquisite, and the most important thing is what she owes her aunt.

My aunt didn't mention it to her. But in the past, Zhao's mother whispered in her ear many times.

My aunt was running away from marriage back then, and when she left home in a hurry, in addition to a dozen taels of silver, she only had a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets on her hands, which was said to be a reward given to her by Mrs. Hou Futai once in a good mood, which was the only time for her to be an unfavored second-room concubine.

But in order to have milk to drink, my aunt had to bring Zhao's mother's family. A dozen taels of silver was obviously not enough for a group of people, so she could only sell the bracelet ruthlessly.

Later, although the family was getting better, my aunt also bought some jewelry one after another, every time she saw this kind of dragon and phoenix gold bracelet in the silver building, she always had to linger for a long time, but she was never willing to really buy it home.

The twelve-year-old Doudou now fully understands this emotion. How to replace the one given by your relatives if you bought it yourself.

My aunt was actually very eager for the care from my grandmother, although it may have been just a casual whim of Mrs. Tai, but it was one of the few warm fragments in my aunt's memory of the Marquis of Jingnan.

Therefore, even if you have more and better jewelry later, it can't compare to this.

A dagger made by the most famous old blacksmith in Qingzhou City, twenty taels. Although the appearance is inconspicuous, it is extremely sharp, and it is very good for my uncle to defend himself.

It's not that she's reluctant to spend money on better things, it's that her uncle's gifts are so difficult to choose, and he always wears clothes that his aunt makes. Besides, I don't have that ability. The ornaments that the aristocratic men liked my uncle didn't like at all, and they didn't match his style at all, Doudou could only use this dagger to show his heart slightly, and then cook him a few snacks when he went to Liaodong.

As for the two younger brothers. My aunt complained in the letter that boys were too mischievous several times, and their shoes were always unworn, so each person had a pair of delicate little leather boots, which were both beautiful and solid, so Doudou also went to inquire about what size boots were suitable for nine- and five-year-old boys.

The rest of Zhao's mother and other subordinates also had different gifts.

As soon as Qiē was ready, Doudou also ushered in the twelfth Chinese New Year's Eve of her life.

This year, the New Year of Yuanfu was very lively. Although the absence of Yuan Xiang is not a family reunion, the two brothers of Yuanjing and Yuanwei are celebrating the New Year with their father for the first time, and the two little ones are at the age of staggering and babbling, which is simply noisy, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is very different from previous years.

In such a cheerful atmosphere, Fu Shaoyun's homesickness has faded a lot.

The year has passed, and the long-awaited spring has finally arrived.

What she didn't expect at all was that spring in the true sense of the north would come so late.

The south is already in full bloom, and the north is still icy and snowy, and the spring is not warm and the flowers do not bloom. Shandong is like this, not to mention Liaodong, which is getting colder and colder, Doudou can only hold back his anxious mood and continue to look forward to it.

In mid-March, the spring breeze began to pick up, and the weather finally began to warm up.

Miss Yuan Er packed up and prepared to go.

Picking green and mulberry beans, plus eight Yuanfu guards escorting them along the way, it also looks mighty.

It's just that the speed can't be fast at all, and the gifts prepared by Doudou don't occupy a place, but the old lady has prepared too much for Yuan Hui.

Rao is streamlined several times, and still loaded five carriages, plus the carriages ridden by Doudou and the two maids, all of them became a small convoy, and the group slowly entered the territory of Liaodong along the footsteps of spring.

There are clouds in Bai Letian's poem "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple": The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

For Liaodong, it is really the peach blossoms that begin to bloom in April, and Doudou is in a deep and shallow pink and arrives in Dongningwei, the capital of Liaodong.

Yuan Hui didn't expect Doudou to delay his trip because of too much luggage, and estimated that the days were almost over, so he sent people to the official road every day to inquire about the news.

Until the evening of the fifth day, after more than 20 days of long journey, six carriages finally appeared at the gate of Dou Mansion.

"Doudou-" has been a housewife for eleven years, and Yuan Hui, who is already twenty-seven years old, did not wait for the carriage to stop, and trotted to the first carriage.

As if her hearts were connected, just as she shouted, a bright red figure swept out of the carriage and rushed straight into her arms. (To be continued.) )
