Chapter 51
But in front of the fourth master, Dai Duo couldn't release the cold air anymore, and after Mingzhu's misunderstanding before, Dai Duo saw the fourth master again at this time, but it was all kinds of awkwardness.
What did he do inappropriately to make Mingzhu misunderstand like that? Dai Duo was also very curious and entangled in his heart.
"Mr. Dai looks very good, it seems that the newlywed is having a good time." The fourth master smiled and stroked the beard on his lips and joked, looking at Dai Duo's uncomfortable body, he was very happy in his heart. It seems that Xiao Mingzhu really has the ability to surrender Mr. Dai, who has always been high.
"The slave thanks the master for his exceptional gifts, treats each other with grace, and it is difficult to repay him, so he can only burn his blessings day and night to repay his kindness." A sour fart was filmed down, which made the fourth master feel physically and mentally happy, and with a wave of his big hand, he took Dai Duo to the study.
Dai Duo breathed a turbid breath in his heart, and followed him, leaving a look of envy and hatred.
Here, Dai Duo helped the fourth master deal with all parties, and on the other side, Mingzhu was not idle. She found the monkey baby and went to the warehouse together, and after going in and looking at it, she realized that Dai Duo's words before leaving were the same meaning.
Is this still called a storeroom? There are only a few boxes scattered in the swarthy room, which are scattered with some kinds of fabrics, and there are some vases and other ornaments on the shelves on the side, but they seem to be not very valuable objects, and the most expensive thing in a room is a small dilapidated box in the corner, which is full of white flowers and silver, and waved his hand to let the lotus grass go over and count it, and the total is only one hundred and seventy-five taels.
Mingzhu's mouth was crooked.
Are you embarrassed to leave it to yourself? I'm afraid I want to fill this big hole for myself. Thinking secretly, Mingzhu turned her head and glared at the monkey baby viciously, and said angrily with a straight face, "Let's talk about it, does our family still have foreign debts?" ”
The monkey baby was raised by Dai Duo since childhood, and has always been loyal, although he has offended the heroine before, but it is to protect the master, and he is not afraid.
However, a room of people is considered to be a lady's person, and even if they ask for help, they have no way, so they can only step forward and respectfully reply, "If you return to Madame, the master owes a total of 1,600 taels of silver to the Four Baylor Mansions, all of which are used to buy orchids." So at present, the family has such a little money, and this is the account. As he spoke, he put a thick ledger on the ground. In the past, he helped manage the accounts, he learned a few words with Dai Duo when he was a child, and there was no one at home to manage the money, so this burden fell on the seven-year-old monkey baby, which was five years.
After Mingzhu knew the situation before and after, he flipped through the account book casually, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, it was really a fool to be a fool, Dai Duo's high-ranking guy who didn't ask about general affairs was not sold by the slave, and thanks to the loyalty and thrift of the monkey baby. Only then can that loser old man still live peacefully and steadily, and even marry a wife.
Thinking of the orchids in that yard, they were scattered, but they burned all of Dai Duo's money, and presumably the thousand taels were not exactly the arrears of his wife.
I sighed deeply again. Mingzhu has a feeling that she has been deceived.
Forced to carry the burden of the family again, her heart was full of helplessness and amusement.
In the afternoon, a post was handed to the Fujin office in the Four Baylor Mansion.
Regardless of the purpose of the fourth master, but the people not only gave the marriage but also added so many dowries, so that the pearl was married with the number of eighty-six dowries and dowries, and became the leader in the three banners.
Either way, Mingzhu needs to be grateful. Not to mention that Zhu has other intentions.
Sifujin quickly sent the old lady to drag Mingzhu into the backyard. Mingzhu sighed again while walking, this is the real wealthy compound, this garden alone is larger than the total area of his own home, and the lake in the yard, ah Mama, is this natural or artificial? Spicy ...... The small bridge above is simply exquisite.
Mingzhu's first thought was, how many people will have to spend to maintain this. It took five gardeners to keep watch in the small garden of his house all day. How much do you need for wages alone?
After calculating the labor in her heart, she couldn't help smacking her tongue, and rejoiced again, fortunately because she had a small family and didn't need too many subordinates to serve, otherwise she might not even be able to take out the money of her subordinates.
But these are temporary.
Mingzhu suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyebrows, she didn't like the service of her subordinates, so she always felt that she didn't have any power. So in comparison, she prefers her own small yard, of course, it would be better if she could decorate it according to her own ideas.
When the time comes, biogas, floor heating, and toilets will be all together, and life will be 'very beautiful~~~'.
Of course, the premise of this qiē is to have money, and this is the reason why she came to Sibeile Mansion.
Approaching the courtyard of Fujin from afar, I feel that the cornices that come out of the treetops are particularly beautiful, and the glazed tiles of gold and water and green are sparkling like dazzling golden waves in the sun, shaking so that people can't open their eyes, and they look rich and peaceful.
And the courtyard of Fujin is still very lively, just entered April, and when I entered the door, I saw a new row of redbuds transplanted in front of the corridor in the courtyard, all planted in the vat. Although it is the budding season, the flowers are already in full bloom at this time, and clusters of purple flowers are dotted among the leaves, which is rich and fragrant. When you hear it from afar, you are fascinated and relaxed.
At the door of the main house are two waist-deep blue and white porcelain urns, in which a few koi fish are happily flicking their tails, lively and excited, and the fat fish body makes Mingzhu drool for a while. This koi fish is specially found by the fourth master from the south of the Yangtze River, and it looks very beautiful with snow-white and red or golden colors, but Mingzhu knows that this fish is not only ornamental, but its taste is also first-class.
I just don't know if anyone is willing to eat it, after all, the price of a good koi is five taels of gold. She still tasted it once in the crew in her previous life. (The fish here are not ordinary fish, so you are not allowed to catch them...... )
Fu Jin was leisurely feeding the fish at this time, and when he saw Mingzhu entering the door, he smiled and beckoned, "Girl, come and see, these little guys have a really good appetite, and they have eaten three pieces of osmanthus cake." ”
Mingzhu stepped forward as she said, and after saluting obediently, she looked down at the golden koi in the sun, not so beautiful, but her purpose today was not just to see the fish.
Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's so beautiful!" It was as golden as gold. ”
"Silly girl, how can gold be as beautiful as this fish." Ulanara glanced at Mingzhu coquettishly, and her smiling face was full of kindness, without a trace of majesty.
"Hey! I'm just a layman, I think about everything in gold and silver, and my grandfather says that I stink of copper. ”
"Little girl, there is something in this, let's go, let's go sit and talk under the corridor, this day is also poisonous, and I am a little dizzy from the sun."
Fu Jin's smile did not decrease, he smiled at Mingzhu and nodded, and walked to the corridor on the side. Mingzhu hurriedly raised his heels.
After sitting down, the little girls obediently served tea, and Mingzhu took the box in Lianxin's hand and handed it over, and said with a sincere face, "I used to be at home, and I felt that I was a happy fish, just playing." Now that I am married, I know that this family is not good. Today, the slave maid made a special trip to thank the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law for taking care of the slave and the maid, you are heartbroken for my marriage, and the slave and maid have nothing good, so they sewed a pair of shoes for the sister-in-law and the fourth brother, as well as a cloak of Brother Honghui, and I hope that the sister-in-law will not dislike it. Mingzhu smiled shyly. I couldn't help but bow my head.
"Look at this little girl's small mouth, this married person is different from not married, I know your craftsmanship, even the fourth master praises it, it's just inconvenient to ask you to do it, and now it's okay to marry someone." As he spoke, he opened the smaller box on top. Inside is a thin cloak of stone blue carved silk squirrel skin, but the material of the inner lining is excellent, and it is dense to the touch, not airtight but light. The stitches are even more invisible. It can be seen that it is really attentive. Wulanala smiled at Mingzhu, "You're too careful, Honghui must like it very much." ”
Mingzhu smiled brightly and said slightly childish words, "The fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are good to me, and I will be doubly good to you." Brother Honghui is smart and sensible, and Fujin's blessings are still to come. Fu Jin couldn't help but laugh too, nodded, opened the rest of the box, and looked at the pair of boots inside but was stunned.
This is a pair of women's light brown deerskin boots, and the edges of the boots also have a thin leather tassel cut, which looks quite chic. Unlike usual, it has a small heel at the heel, and the sole is very hard, which is very suitable for horseback riding, but Fu Jin has been studying the heel non-stop.
Seeing this, Mingzhu hurriedly explained, "This heel is soaked in tung oil and wrapped in a layer of leather, which is light to wear and can look spiritual." At the same time, it can also lengthen the figure, I made it out when I was idle, and I ask the fourth sister-in-law not to dislike it,"
"What a coincidence of your thoughts, I used to wear the bottom of the flower pot to look slender, but the bottom of the flower pot is a sin, and it is inconvenient to walk, this method is good. I'll give it a try in a moment. Fu Jin obviously liked it very much, and he looked eager to try.
Mingzhu saw that there was a play, and hurriedly said, "If my sister-in-law likes it, I will draw a picture for you, and you can let the next person change it to a better leather for you, it must be more beautiful and lightweight than this pair." I came today because I wanted to talk to my sister-in-law about something. As he spoke, Mingzhu had a worried expression on his face.
Fu Jin pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, quietly handed the box on the table to the waiting grandmother, waved his hand, and the people around him went down. Picked up the teacup and blew it, without raising his head, just drank the tea, and said slowly, "What's the matter, I'll listen to it." ”
