Chapter 195: Falling from the Sky
"Thank you, Mrs. Lee, for me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Mulan took something and said.
Li Cang deserved a sound, peeked over, and saw her holding a tea cup and drinking tea intently, the gourd-shaped ruby earrings were motionless under the round earlobes, the long eyelashes were filled with water vapor, and the side lines were indescribably beautiful.
A faint fragrance mixed with the fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of the nose, looming, unable to tell what kind of taste it was, only felt the heartbeat of the face hot, and the palms of the hands were slightly sweaty.
It took a long time to muster up the courage to say the words that had been brewing for a long time, "My sister is going to see the lanterns in the first month, do you want to go with you?"
Mulan couldn't help but wonder, Mrs. Li didn't send her things once or twice, they were all sent to her by Mrs. An's hands before, but this time they were delivered to her in person, it turned out that she was looking for an opportunity to tell her about it.
She had heard in Sanshui Town that women dressed in white silk clothes crossed the bridge in groups to touch the door nails, and finally went to the privet temple to pray for incense. There are also people in the fishing village who are sick, but they walk through the village to the seashore and bow to the god of the sea and pray.
To be honest, she has no interest in this kind of activity, and it can be seen that Li Cang's eyes are looking at her eagerly, and he can't say anything to refuse, "I asked my grandmother, and my grandmother allowed me to go." ”
didn't get an answer immediately, Li Cang couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he also knew that his daughter's family was no better than a man, and he didn't say that he could go out if he went out. Go back and ask Li Xi to ask Li Xi to write a post and invite her to go with her, Mrs. An must be able to allow it, right?
He had already agreed with his family that he would follow and escort Li Xi when he went to go sick. If Mrs. An agrees, she will have the opportunity to be alone with Mulan.
After saying this, there was no topic again. Mulan took a small sip of the teacup, and said in her heart that she couldn't take a dress, not to make clothes, and Danlu's movements were also a little slower.
Danlu was also very painstaking, thinking that the girl and the prospective aunt had finally met once, and there must be a lot of things to say, so he deliberately grinded and walked around in a big circle before asking Lu Xin for a clean dress.
When he got to the door, he pulled Baofu and asked, "How is the girl talking to Li Ergongzi?"
"Why are you so slow?" Bao Fu complained, and urged, "You go in quickly, I can't sit still when I see the girl." ”
Danlu let out an "ah", and when he was about to ask carefully, he asked Baofu to push him in.
After a while, Mulan had already greeted all the people up and down the Li family, and asked Li Cang about his studies, but he really couldn't find a topic. Seeing Danlu come back, he was really relieved, and immediately stood up, "You hurry up and change your wet clothes, I'll retire first." ”
blessed him, and led the girl out of the door.
Li Cang got up and sent it to the door, and called Baofu to stop him, "Second son Li, please stay, carefully blow the cold wind and catch a cold." ”
"Oh, good. Li Cang stood in embarrassment, seeing that the heavy door curtain was hanging down, blocking the fiery figure, and his heart couldn't help but be annoyed.
It's easy to see it once, but she clumsily spilled the tea, and there was a big mess in front of her, which is really stupid!
He was tall among his peers, but after all, he was a young man who had not yet fully grown up, and how could he compare to the height of the Lu Xin people? The clothes were wide and wide on the body, folded half a foot and tucked into the belt, and the hem was still dragging to the top of the feet.
He's always been neat, and when he dresses like this, he feels more and more like a wretch. Fortunately, he couldn't see it when he put on a cotton coat, said goodbye to Mrs. An, and left the Guogong Mansion unhappy.
As the saying goes, after Laba is the New Year, after drinking Laba porridge, every household is busy with the New Year. It's almost the end of the year, and it's time to take stock.
After returning to the Guogong Mansion, Mulan has been following Honggu to learn to manage accounts. Now that you have set someone, you have to pick up everything. In order to train her, Mrs. An asked Hongyu to spread her hands and handed over all the work of accounting to her.
In fact, there are not many accounts to be counted, but the expenses of the house plus a few Zhuangzi interest. I called the steward to check and see if there were any discrepancies between the two, and it didn't take two days to do it.
The day before the new year, the steward in Han's shopkeeper's shop sent a letter to deliver a letter, saying that the shop was also taking inventory, and asked her to take the time to go over and settle the profits.
The debt is not more than a year, and she is thinking about where to move out two hundred taels of silver to repay Zhao Chonghua, so she doesn't have to bother now. On the second day of the New Year, he said hello to Mrs. An, and led Pan Yun and Ruixi out of the door.
She successively handed over several batches of drawings to the shopkeeper Han, and only a small part of them were created and sold on the counter. Because of the good selling, a total of almost 500 taels were settled. wrote a receipt and handed it to the manager, and by the way, I asked him if the shopkeeper Han had any news recently.
The steward told her that there was a little problem with the business in Qizhou, and the shopkeeper Han was afraid that he would not be able to come back a year ago.
She thanked the steward, took the silver ticket, took out two hundred taels from it, and gave the rest to Ruixi for safekeeping.
Since Mulan and Mrs. An proposed to take care of Yu Ting Pavilion alone, the house has cut off the supply of Yu Ting Pavilion. Of course, her share is not included in this provision. Her monthly money is still received, the materials and jewelry have never been broken, and the best food has been picked up and sent over.
Now all the monthly money of Yu Tingge's subordinates is paid by her, two sets of clothes per person per quarter, plus chewing, and rewarding at every turn, it is not enough to rely on her idea of monthly money. The money in the account has long been used up, and in the past month, Ruixi has already exchanged copper coins twice in the account room.
Hongyu heard from the account room that the people in the girl's room had taken gold and silver bills to exchange copper coins, so she specially called Ruixi to ask. Ruixi was also worried that Mulan would lose face and suffer herself, so she explained Yu Tingge's predicament in detail.
Hongyu gave an old lady, and when she turned around, she sent back the gold and silver bills exchanged for silver, and attached a letter of silver. Mulan returned the things one by one, because Ruixi broke Yu Tingge's rules, she made a big mistake and deducted a month's reward.
Ruixi was kind but punished, felt very wronged, and cried all night under the quilt. When the grievances passed, I was worried that I would lose the favor of my master and would not be reused. I've been trembling and cautious for a while.
At this time, seeing that Mulan handed over the silver ticket to her without any guilt, she was full of gratitude. lest something go wrong, the silver ticket was counted again and again. She didn't expect her girl to make money so easily, it was hundreds of taels, she was surprised and admired, but she didn't know what to do.
"Girl, this silver ticket ......"
"You prepare another account, and all the expenses of Yu Tingge in the future will go from this account. Mulan commanded succinctly.
Ruixi deserved a "yes", carefully packed the silver ticket in a purse, and hid it closely.
By the end of the year, most of the shops will be closed, and those who have not yet purchased all the New Year's goods will take advantage of these last few days to procure. The streets were bustling, full of pits and valleys full of people. Mulan also had no intention of shopping, and planned to go home directly.
As soon as he walked to the carriage, he heard a series of screams, and then something fell from the sky and smashed on the roof of the carriage impartially. There was a "bang", the carriage was torn apart, and the horse was frightened, raising its front hooves and neighing angrily......
