Chapter 9: Goodbye
Youyi looked at the white silver in front of her, and Aunt Cui's crying red eyes appeared in front of her, and her heart was sour. Aunt Cui was originally the girl in front of the old lady, and once the old man went back to the south, the old lady asked her to wait all the way, and when she came back, she carried her aunt.
According to the rules in the house, each aunt has two taels of silver per month, and the two little girls waiting next to her each have five hundred dollars each. Three meals a day, two snacks, twelve sets of clothes throughout the year are provided by the house, and other rouge, gouache, needles, threads, etc., can be registered and received at any time by the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and there is no fixed share but it cannot exceed the upper limit.
These things are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, let alone these things that are not counted? Aunt Cui is short of things, and eight out of ten times she will not come, so she can only pay for her own silver and buy it separately, and the two taels of silver every month are not enough. And she still has Brother Jin, which month won't post some in?
Youyi went to the Grange, she secretly sent someone to send twenty taels of silver, and this time she brought another twenty taels, which added up to a lot of money.
Two taels of silver a month, only twenty-four taels a year without moving, these eighty percent are gold and silver jewelry. Youyi is not the young lady who didn't understand anything in her previous life, she knows that Aunt Cui's money is not easy to save.
Girl, slave maid, let people send the silver back to Aunt Cui. No matter how much the girl is the master, how can she ask for an aunt's silver? If this is spread out, we have to say that our Jin Mansion has no system, and the master's life is not as good as that of a slave! Isn't this smearing our house and ruining the reputation of our house? Mama Liu's words seem to make sense.
The master can't ask for the silver of the slave, but who am I, and who is my aunt? When I lived in Zhuangzi, didn't the nurse also subsidize all my own money for me? If the reputation of the Jin Mansion was ruined because of this, then the reputation of our Mansion would have been gone a long time ago! Youyi said unhurriedly, and glanced at everyone in the house, but you and the two girls in my aunt's house know about the matter of my aunt giving me silver. If you don't say it, who knows? When you are on an errand in front of your master, the most important thing is to keep your mouth tight, and you need to know what to say and what not to say!
Besides, people are poor and short-sighted, and now is not the time to be tough. There are still more than 20 days left before this month's monthly money, and I don't panic when I have money in my hand. My aunt doesn't have enough money, so I will keep half of the money today, which is considered to be borrowed, and I will return it to my aunt when I have saved enough. If anyone dares to talk nonsense everywhere, and I know about it, she won't want to gain a foothold in this backyard!
Her voice was soft and soft, but when she said this, there was such a sharp feeling, which made people feel a chill in their hearts. None of the girls and mothers-in-law in the house dared to pick up the stubble, Mama Liu glanced at her, opened her mouth and closed it, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
Xia He, you take out ten taels and send them back to your aunt. You know what to do and how to say it!
Suddenly named by Youyi to run errands and speak, Xia He was overjoyed, and replied with a smile: Don't worry, the slave will definitely do it properly for the girl. After speaking, he took ten taels of silver and turned around and went out.
Although Xia He, this girl is not loyal enough, she is better than being articulate and has a lot of eyes, and she can be used for the time being, so as to contain Mama Liu. Let them bite the dog's hair, and then clean them up one by one when they have a firm foothold!
Chunhua, you put the remaining ten taels of silver in the pineapple wooden box of Duobaoge, and you put away the key! If she couldn't even look at the key, there really wasn't much to teach.
Well. Chunhua is not short of heart and eyes, but she is willing to work, and when she is tired, she lies down on the bed and sleeps a lot, and her whole body is comfortable. She also knew that this was a girl who could afford to reuse herself, so she hurriedly locked the silver, tied the key to the belt of her trousers, and planned to keep it with her day and night.
Mama Liu's face was a little unnatural, usually the girl was obedient to her, and she always handed over the silver to herself to take care of. What does that mean? Will you leave the money management to Chunhua in the future? Ever since the girl's serious illness, she felt like she was on a swing, thrown into the air and thrown to the ground at one moment, and she had no control over it. It was a very bad feeling, and she couldn't help but think of the story that the girl told her about the lackey.
Youyi cleaned up, ate a piece of snack, and drank a few sips of tea.
Xia He came back from an errand and replied with a smile: Girl, the slave gave the silver to the aunt, and the aunt was very happy and rewarded the slave with a purse. After speaking, he took out his purse.
Since it was rewarded by your aunt, you can keep it. Youyi is short of silver, but she can't even worry about the girl's reward, what does my aunt say?
The slave maid went, and first inquired about the little girl, saying that the master was not there, and the aunt got up and wanted to go to the wife's side to ask for peace. When the slave maid saw her aunt, she said, 'Our girl will keep half of the silver, and let the slave and maid send the rest back, for fear that the aunt will be short of money.' Fortunately, the monthly money will be scattered soon, and ten taels of silver is enough. When the aunt heard that the girl had left the money, and was afraid that she would be short of money, her face was full of relief and distress, and she asked the maid what else she had said.
The slave replied to the girl, 'Who am I, and who is my aunt?' When the aunt heard this, her eyes turned red, and then she burst into tears and laughed, and beckoned the little girl to give the slave and maid a reward. The slave and maid are quietly pinched, and there are a lot of drums inside! After Xia He finished speaking, his smile became more and more crooked.
This girl laughs very pretty, but she has three colors, no wonder she is arrogant and always wants to climb high branches. If she can be loyal and willing to settle down in this life, Youyi doesn't mind giving her a good way out, after all, she didn't do anything to hurt herself in the previous life.
You're doing a great job. Youyi said lightly, unable to hear any joy or anger.
Xia He became more and more happy when he heard this, and hurriedly put away his purse.
You and Dongxue will go with me to my wife's place to say goodbye. Youyi took the two girls out of Yishuiju.
They kept going east, turned the small garden, and suddenly saw a few girls and mothers-in-law surrounding a girl from a distance.
I saw her combing her bun with smoke and hibiscus, and a silver-gilded beaded emerald hairpin was obliquely inserted on the top of her head. Holding a translucent thorn wood chrysanthemum light Luo Ling fan, wearing a rose purple thousand-petal chrysanthemum pattern top, a moon-white pleated Ruyi moon skirt, looking elegant with a dignified charm.
Look at her appearance again, eleven or twelve years old, with a white and pure face and soft and delicate skin. The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, the almond eyes are smiling, the corners of the mouth are slightly curved upward, with a demure smile, and the whole face is delicate and beautiful. Her figure began to twitch, and she already had the air of a girl.
Four sisters. She also saw Youyi, walked a few steps over, gently grabbed Youyi's hand, and looked up and down carefully, you have grown.
Grown? It should be thin! After more than a year in Zhuangzi, it is not easy to be full and eat a hot meal. In addition, Youyi is thoughtful and has a small amount of food, so it's strange to be able to grow up!
