Chapter 5 Wei Gongzi
And on the side of Li Lan from Mrs. Li's yard back, her mother saw that she had a purse, when she opened it, she found that there was a pair of gold and silver bills inside, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "No wonder people say that Duchess Cheng'en is broad-handed, look at people's gifts, a dozen taels of silver, which is like our house, give people a gift of a ruler and incense beads, it is too unified."

Li Lan smiled when she saw the second lady Li saw the money, although she knew that her family had nothing but that little monthly money, so she got more than a dozen taels of silver at a time, no wonder the second lady Li was happy, but when she thought of the precious red gold bracelet in Li Xin's hand, Li Lan said angrily: "What is there to be happy about, the eldest girl of the family not only got this, but also got a red gold bracelet, I think the bracelet is very heavy, at least four taels, what is this thing." ”
Although Second Mrs. Li was also jealous that the eldest girl had valuable jewelry, she knew her family's status in the house, so she said disapprehantly: "What's the matter, people are the daughters of the long house, and it is normal to be valued by others, people eat meat, and it is not bad for us to drink some soup after us." ”
Li Lan didn't like to hear this, and said impatiently: "It's all granddaughters of grandpa, why can she eat meat, so we should only drink soup?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she didn't feel a little embarrassed, what her daughter said was not wrong, saying that it was different from her concubines, but they were all granddaughters of Mrs. Li, why should her own daughter be inferior, if she wants to have a status in this mansion, if she wants someone to hurt or not, if she wants someone to hurt her, she will not be hurt? Sometimes when I think about it, I do feel unbalanced in my heart.
"Then you can go to the Chengen Mansion in a few days and behave well. Second Mrs. Li said.
Although Duchess Chengen only invited Li Xin and Li Shu, her daughter followed her, and they couldn't object, after all, Duchess Chengen didn't say that Li Lan couldn't go.
Even if the Chengen Mansion doesn't look down on his daughter, there will be a lot of young sons in the Poetry Club at that time, and maybe his daughter will be favored by a son with good conditions, and then his life in the mansion will be better. Second Master Li is a concubine, and the second Mrs. Li who married is naturally also a concubine, because the Li family is downcast and has no money, so the second Mrs. Li who married is also not rich, because she is not as rich as Mrs. Li San's businessman, she can give money to the second master Li, and the second master Li feels that he has lost money, and it would be good to marry a merchant girl at that time, which is quite bad for her, so the second Mrs. Li thinks like this, if her daughter marries well, she has her daughter's support, and the second master Li can be better to her.
Li Lan thought of the wealth of the Chengen Mansion, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
Others may laugh at Duchess Chengen's cheesiness in wearing gold and silver, but Li Lan feels that she can understand Duchess Chengen's approach very well, if she is developed one day, she also wants to be covered in gold and silver, so that people know that they are rich, after all, some people want to show off and have no money to show off.
When night came, Hibiscus and Lilac took over from the other group at about ten o'clock and began to work the night shift.
There was nothing to do all night, and it was still Lilac sleeping on the couch outside Mrs. Li's bedroom, and Mu Hibiscus was always watching.
After handing over to someone in the early morning, Hibiscus thought that the next time he was on duty would be around midnight (around two o'clock), and it was still early, so Hibiscus decided to eat some food first, and after dinner, he would go to the outside bank to change money, and wait for him to come back from the money village to make up for sleep.
is not a noble girl, there are also advantages to being a girl: that is, the etiquette and education are not as strict as the ladies, as long as they don't get along with the man in private, they can go around, otherwise if they can't even go around the yahuan, how can they help the lady do all kinds of things that need to go out.
When she went out, Hibiscus ran into the big girl ring next to the big girl, Jasmine, who was a second-class girl ring like her.
"What are you doing here?" asked Jasmine.
"Go out on the streets, you. Hibiscus asked.
"Isn't this about to go to the Cheng'en Mansion? Our young lady asked me to buy her some poetry books. Jasmine laughed.
Mu Hibiscus nodded, and secretly said that it is not easy for them to get up early and be greedy for darkness as a maid, and it is also not easy to be a young lady.
The two broke up at the intersection, and Mu Hibiscus saw that there was no familiar person left and right, so he went to the money bank.
She was very familiar with this money bank, and when she arrived, she moved the copper coin from the space to the bag, and then handed the bag to the guy on the counter, and the other party counted it, so he gave her the silver.
"A total of six hanging coins, give, this silver ingot is five taels. "Dude.
Mu Hibiscus took the money, thanked the guys from the bank, and went out.
At present, in the Great Zhou, about twelve taels of silver are exchanged for one tael of gold, one tael of silver, and it is not a hanging money, but almost 1200 Wen Qian can be exchanged for one or two silver, so these second-class Yahuan is a hanging money, and the first-class Yahuan is one or two silver, and it is necessary to exchange 1000 Wen for one tael according to common sense, which is about the same treatment, but due to the depreciation of copper coins now, 1200 Wen can be exchanged for one or two silver, so the treatment between the two is not the same.
Because it is not easy to bring people to do this kind of thing, so Hibiscus is a person, but if a person is alone, it is often easy to be targeted by lawbreakers, but Hibiscus is very cautious, so this money village is on the busy road, and there is no need to walk the alley where it passes.
But although there was no robbery, but the thief had, it was estimated that it was easier to steal her money from a girl's house outside the house, and those thieves hit her idea, and saw her carrying a purse on the roadside stall while walking and watching, and someone snatched her wallet and ran away.
Mu Hibiscus looked at the thief who snatched her purse speechlessly, in fact, she really wanted to tell the other party, you robbed it for nothing, she was used to being cautious, she never put money in her purse, every time she bought something, she looked at the money she took from it, but it was actually taken from the space.
Because he felt that the other party had robbed it for nothing, the hibiscus did not shout, so he snatched the purse away with the other party, anyway, not only did there be no money in it, but the purse itself was not worth anything - it was not bought, not even made by himself, but by filial piety in the sewing room.
However, the purse was snatched away, and it was inconvenient to take the money without the purse to cover up the purchase, so Mu Hibiscus took the pastries and small items he bought.
Just thinking like this, I heard a commotion in front of me, but it was a son who asked his subordinates to hold down the thief and snatch his purse back, and then the boy asked his subordinates to hand over the purse to himself.
"Hibiscus girl, what a coincidence. The boy greeted him.
Mu Hibiscus looked at it, yo, it's still an acquaintance - it's the one who lost the title of the noble mentioned by Mrs. Li before, the son of the Wei family, Mu Hibiscus remembered that his name was Wei Xuan, before his father died, because he was a baron, he was still noble, and the Li Wei family still had contact with each other, so she knew each other.
However, since Wei Xuan's father passed away three years ago, the Wei family is no longer a baron, and Wei Xuan has also disappeared from the capital's Xungui circle, it is estimated that the people in the Xungui circle disdain to deal with him as a rich man, and he doesn't want to mix in that circle with the eyes of others who don't want to deal with him, so he left.
Mu Hibiscus thanked him while taking the purse: "Thank you Wei Gongzi for your help." ”
