Chapter 154: Aunt Gu's Kindness 2
Li Tong smiled and didn't explain much, Mama Wu didn't think about her, she was thinking about her little Zhuangzi wholeheartedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Alas!" Qiu Mei sighed, and the topic began to spread, "You looked at my eating appearance just now, pitiful, right?" Let me tell you, the current Jiang family, tsk! The meals sent out in the kitchen, I can't wait to use oil, Sister-in-law Wang is really, there is a dish that must be boiled, poured with salted water, and not even sesame oil. A while ago, I heard the old grandson of the account room say that the uncle took 40,000 silver out, how can the Jiang family have silver? said that the 40,000 silver was drawn from the shop, and the two shops were taken out to make up enough. ”
"I know that." Li Tong responded, she knows this matter best.
"I thought the girl must know everything!" Qiu Mei's face I knew that the girl knew, "There is no silver in the Jiang family's account, it seems to be poor or something, but last month the north and south goods shops came to settle the bill, I heard that the settlement was a full seven hundred taels of silver, the old grandson said, usually it is more than two hundred taels, that is, the bird's nest money of the prince, Mrs. and the uncle in the house, but last month, the bird's nest money of the eldest girl and the second girl was added, and it stands to reason that there is not much to go, anyway, I just don't know what is going on, and it was calculated to seven hundred taels, and the old grandson said that the account is right, I heard that Aunt Gu lost her temper and said that the purchase was done in the middle, I sent the purchase away, but the money in the shop had to be given, and I heard that the account was completely empty. ”
Qiu Mei's face was gloating, Li Tong didn't speak, about the goods shops in the north and south, Mama Wu handed over the words, but she replaced the white swallows of the lady, the eldest girl and the second girl with blood swallows, this year's blood swallows are surprisingly expensive, seven hundred taels is really not much.
"It's a pity for us, Aunt Gu said to be thrifty, a thrifty, first from the kitchen thrifty, in addition to the Hou Ye and Mrs., the two girls and the uncle, of course, and herself, as usual, eat Bi Stem, other people's rice, all replaced with brown rice, and oil, said that this year's meat oil is expensive, soybean oil is also expensive, rapeseed oil is cheap, so I changed to eat rapeseed oil, even rapeseed oil is not much, she set the amount for the big kitchen, let Sister-in-law Wang carry the oil drum to her every day to receive oil.
Alas, the dish that the big kitchen makes every day is unedible without oil and smells of oil. In the past, I never cut off the meat, but now Aunt Gu said that meat is a greasy thing that does not support people, it is best to eat less, and she is only allowed to eat it once in three days, what about herself, but she eats fat chickens and ducks, elbows and hooves every day, why is she not afraid of being tired of dying? ”
Qing Ju was dumbfounded when she heard this, and Shui Lian couldn't help but come up and touch Qiu Mei's arm, "No wonder when I saw you, I felt that you were thin." ”
"I'm okay, the girl left a lot of silver, hungry, so I took the money to ask someone to go out to buy some food, Chunyan is good, the two of us get together almost every day to buy food from outside, Qingshu looks good, the girl also gave her a lot of silver, she is familiar, I see that she has cleaned up a room in the yard, the pots and stoves are complete, and the life is more moisturizing than me and Chunyan."
"Go and get two hundred taels of silver, half of the silver ticket of three taels and five taels, and half of the broken silver of half and a half of two and a tael, and let Qiu Mei take it back and use it with Chunyan." Li Tong instructed the water lotus.
"No, no, no! There's still plenty of silver. Qiu Mei hurriedly waved her hand.
"You and Chunyan should be generous, your own girl, and the rough little girl in the yard, also give some to them, and even let them take some home, outside, what you can use, don't be stingy with silver, so that you and Chunyan have a better life, this looks like it's going to be midsummer, it seems that even if you use ice, you can't share it on your heads, it's too ostentatious to buy ice in, melon and fruit ice bowls or something, buy more on it, and you can also cool off."
Li Tong explained Qiu Mei in a slow voice, and Qiu Mei's eyes turned red when she heard it, "Look at what the girl said, I used to be at home...... I mean, with my second aunt, don't you come over like that every summer? Chunyan's family is also poor, and like me, she is not a person who has not suffered hardships, so don't worry, girl. ”
"Hmm." Li Tong responded, a little distracted, she couldn't quite imagine what Aunt Gu, who didn't even eat a lot of oil, looked like.
"By the way, there's a joke!" Qiu Mei's eyebrows flew up, "A few days ago, didn't the girl call Da Qiao and Da Yao's daughter-in-law back, the horses in the house, no one took care of them, Aunt Gu ordered Wang Xi, the nephew of the sister-in-law of the big kitchen, to take care of the stable, anyway, I don't know what's going on, the day before yesterday, the uncle rode out on horseback, and halfway through, the horse suddenly strained on the street, pulled like spraying water, and lay on the ground on the spot and couldn't get up, almost throwing the uncle out of a good place, alas, but unfortunately he didn't fall." ”
Qiu Mei was very sorry that she didn't fall.
"Listening to Dushan, the uncle was very angry, but Wang Xi said that he didn't blame him, said that Aunt Gu said, I haven't heard that horses still eat black beans and white beans, and said that Wang Xi must be borrowing horses to get oil and water from the middle, and said that horses don't all eat grass, and there is more grass in the back garden, let Wang Xi go to the back garden to cut grass for the horse to eat, Wang Xi said that he took care of his aunt's instructions to cut the grass in the back garden and feed the horse, the horse fell ill and diarrhea, which can't blame him."
"It's ......" Shuilian didn't know what to say, and went to the garden to cut the grass and feed the horses, and it was a shame for Aunt Gu to think about it!
"How can the Gu family ever have a horse? Even the Jiang family hasn't seen a horse for more than ten years! Qiu Mei took a sip, "The surname Gu doesn't understand, and he doesn't ask, he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and later, the uncle blamed Wang Xi for everything, and beat Wang Xi for twenty or thirty boards."
I heard that Aunt Gu was still wronged, so she called Sister-in-law Wang in the next day and scolded her, saying that Sister-in-law Wang deliberately cheated her, Sister-in-law Wang was angry, and ran to me to cry and scold, saying that her nephew had learned from Da Qiao, and said that horses are delicate, water and grass must be clean, and black beans and hay must be eaten every day, otherwise you will have to lose fat, and there are only a few things that can be fed with grass, how can there be grass that horses can eat in the back garden? Wang Xi told her, she didn't believe it, she had to let Wang Xi go to the back garden to cut grass and feed the horses, and what did she say to kill two birds with one stone, and clean up the garden, and feed the horses, until something happened, she Wang Ba's neck shrank, and the matter was all pushed to Wang Xi, Wang Xi suffered twenty or thirty boards, and one leg didn't know if it could be saved. ”
Li Tong listened silently, and he didn't feel anything, as if he was listening to the eldest princess say those extremely long-standing gossip.
Qiu Mei said from the stable to clean up the back garden, from the back garden to the uncle to think that there are many mosquitoes, let Aunt Gu hurry up to build the canopy, said how to spend the summer without the canopy, Mama Wu said that the uncle was crazy, when did the Suining Bo Mansion build the canopy, all kinds of things, straight to the afternoon, Li Tong asked Xiaoyou to make dinner early, let Qiu Mei eat, and sent Da Qiao to send her back.
