Chapter XXVI: The Silver Ticket
walked all the way forward, and when he entered Ling Xue Yuan, Qingyun's anger subsided a little.
In the yard, there are two little maids sweeping the leaves, not very old, eleven or twelve years old, combing double buns, delicate and timid.
In the house, there are two second-class maids wiping the table, plus the warbler and the magpie, and there is no one else in the huge Ling Xue Garden.
The Hou Mansion was degraded, and the house had to reduce the use, and the first one to be reduced was Ling Xueyuan, and the maid and woman cut off more than half.
These maids had to stay.
If the house is uninhabited for a period of time, it will lose popularity and be prone to breakage.
The cost of repairing Ling Xue Yuan is much greater than raising a few maids, and even if she is fined, Ling Xue Yuan is still her residence, if no one is left at all, she will not be able to explain to her uncle.
When I went back to the house, the maid came up with hot tea.
Qingyu held the tea, and Liuying said, "Girl, the slave and maid go out for a walk." ”
Qingyun glanced at her, and saw that there was a sparkle in her eyes, obviously wanting to go to Chunhui Courtyard to inquire about the news, and just as she also wanted to know how things would develop, she nodded and agreed.
The warbler is gone, and the magpie helps clean up the house.
They had only been gone for a short time, and the house was still the same as before, except that the quilt and everything were locked in the cupboard, and they had to be taken out to smoke incense to remove moisture.
Half a time later, the warbler returned.
When she entered the door, the magpie happened to bring a copper basin to wipe the table for the third time, and the warbler quickly took over.
The magpie asked her, "See?" Is it the second girl or the fourth girl? ”
The warbler didn't speak, but entered the house with a copper basin.
Qingyun sat on the small couch, also looked at her, and urged her to say quickly, the warbler finally couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud, "I didn't like any of them." ”
Qingyun was stunned, she didn't take a fancy to Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue, so she ...... Isn't it Mu Qingrou?
Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue are still worried, who thinks that people don't take a fancy to them at all, this slap is really loud.
Liuying shrugged her shoulders and said, "As soon as Mrs. Luyang Hou mentioned this, the eldest lady immediately rejected her, saying that the fifth girl is still young, and it will take another year to reach her, and she will keep her for two more years, and the eldest young master of the Zhengguo Mansion is not young, so he can't delay." ”
Qingyun sighed, it's good to have someone to support her, and you don't need Mu Qingrou to worry, the fire pit will be filled.
However, she never thought that Mrs. Luyang Marquis would propose to let Mu Qingrou marry, isn't this looking for a nail, it seems that it is the attitude of the Bofu towards her and Mu Qingling's two concubines, which makes her feel that the Bofu can sacrifice anything in order to restore the marquis.
Compared with the two, Qingyun felt that her heart, which was not hot, was three points colder.
That's it, no one hurts a motherless child, but fortunately, although there is a stepmother, the father is still pro, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
The magpie took the key to open the box, brought a brocade box over, handed it to Qingyun and said, "Girl, your private money is here." ”
Qingyun took the brocade box, and the money was collected by the warbler and the magpie, and she didn't know how much, but she had the impression that before her father left Beijing on an errand, he would always leave her some silver for self-defense, but told her that she couldn't let the old lady know.
Uncle is also worried that if he favors Qingyun too much, it will harm Qingyun, but if he doesn't keep some, he won't worry about going on an errand.
When the brocade box was opened, Qingyun gasped.
A brocade box is full of scattered silver, some large and some small, how can there be dozens of taels.
thinks she is a concubine, and her monthly money is only ten taels a month, so she can be regarded as a rich person.
"It feels good to be rich," Qingyun laughed.
Thinking that the magpie hid the money in her shoes, she thought she was a poor jingle bell.
When the magpie saw it, he smiled and said, "There's more down there." ”
Qingyun was stunned for a moment, "And?" ”
The magpie nodded, "How did the girl forget, the brocade box is double-layered." ”
Qingyun suddenly, opened the mezzanine and saw the silver ticket.
and of fifty taels of denomination, there are ten of them.
Magpie smiled, "Uncle has been on a business trip ten times, and he will leave fifty taels of silver tickets for the girl before leaving each time, but the girl has taken the money, and there is no place to use the ......." ”
Qingyun can't get out of the house, let alone go shopping.
Magpies and warblers don't have a chance to go out, and even if they do, they can't bring anything back, and the medicine bag from the last time is not an example.
Yes, Qingyun can't ask a doctor to see a doctor if she has money, so she can only store it in a brocade box, but fortunately she hasn't been bitten by insects, otherwise Qingyun would have to vomit blood.
Qingyun took five taels of silver and put it in her purse, and rewarded two maids with two taels each, and the happy two maids couldn't close their mouths with a smile.
In addition, Qingyun also took out five taels and said to the two maids, "Usually when you walk around with the maids in the house, you should be generous, and if they take the benefits, they won't show their faces to you, even if you ask about anything, it's convenient to ask about anything." ”
When it was arranged, Qingyun closed the brocade box and asked the magpie to take it to press the bottom of the box.
Qingyun rubbed her neck, thinking about whether to sleep.
Outside, a maid came in and said, "Three girls, the old lady asked the slave to tell you, there is no need to copy the family motto, the Buddhist scriptures are self-cultivation, and it is good to copy them occasionally, just don't get tired." ”
The corners of Qingyun's mouth rose, and the days were comfortable.
The warbler has eyes to go up to stuff the purse.
The maid didn't expect to come to pass a word, and there was also a reward, and she smiled happily.
After the maid left, Qingyun fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sunset was shining on the horizon.
After dinner, Qingyun had nothing to do, so she took the book and flipped through it casually, not in high spirits.
Warblers and magpies embroider purses around the stove.
Qingyun was bored, thinking that she seemed to be embroidering well, so she asked the magpie to also set her up an embroidery shed, planning to embroider a handkerchief for herself.
After embroidering for a while, I felt sleepy again.
A good night's sleep.
When I woke up the next day, my bones were soft.
She was woken up by the two maids, and listened to the maid in a sleepy eye, "Girl, it's time to get up, and I have to go and say hello to the old lady and the eldest lady in a while." ”
Qingyun was still very sleepy, but when she heard this, a spirit struck, and most of her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
I almost forgot, she is not grounded in the Buddha Incense Temple now, she can let her sleep until she wakes up naturally, and it will be okay to copy the Buddhist scriptures and family mottos every day, she has to go to the elders to say goodbye!
She remembered that once she was late to ask Ann, she was scolded by the eldest lady, and when she came back, she was punished for copying the family motto twenty times.
Especially yesterday, as soon as Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue heard that they wanted them to marry the eldest young master of Zheng Guogong's mansion, they were so angry that they wanted to scrape her alive, Mrs. Luyang Hou hit Mu Qingrou on the head, can the eldest lady not be angry?
Thinking about it, Qingyun felt a pain in her head.
Not daring to delay any longer, Qingyun lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
The magpie brought his clothes and asked Qingyun to wear them.
Looking at the clothes, Qingyun's brows jumped unexpectedly, how could she forget this, she was going to go to Qixia Temple with her today, wearing such short clothes, going out is the face of the Lost Bofu, who would allow her to go out?
Qingyun knew that she didn't have clothes that didn't fit, and although the embroidery workshop was doing it, it was estimated that it would be the day after tomorrow to send it at the earliest.
Qingyun sat down, the magpie looked at her with the clothes in her hand, and was about to speak, when she heard Qingyun ask, "My eldest sister took all the clothes before her marriage to the Dingguo Mansion?" ”
The magpie didn't know why Qingyun asked, so he only replied, "Some precious fox fur cloaks and clothes rewarded by the elders have been taken away, and the embroidery workshop has to keep them if they are not new." ”
Mu Qingling got married only after she was married, and the two of them were about the same size, so her clothes would only be big and not small if she was wearing them now.
Qingyun looked at the magpie and said, "You go and get two sets of suitable clothes for me from the old clothes left by the eldest sister." ”
The magpie was puzzled, "The embroidery workshop has already made a new one for the girl, why do you still wear the old clothes before the big girl?" ”
I've been wearing it for so many days, so I don't care about waiting an extra day or two.
But in the past two days, Qingyun couldn't wait, and urged the magpie to say, "Go quickly." ”
Qingyun had an order, can the magpie not do it, put down his clothes, and quickly went out.
The warbler waited for Qingyun to rinse her mouth and wash her face, and the wicker branches were stained with bamboo salt to brush her teeth, which was really uncomfortable as much as she wanted.
Soon, the magpie brought two sets of clothes, both of which were from Shu brocade.
A set of sky blue embroidered bamboo begonias, a set of lilac embroidered gorse, Qingyun tried, and they all fit well.
In the end, Qingyun chose the sky blue embroidered bamboo begonia, and the girdle and shawl were also embroidered with begonias, but the color was goose yellow.
Combing the flowing fairy bun, wearing the old lady's newly rewarded jewelry, and thinly applying powder, it is already a beautiful fairy.
After breakfast, Qingyun took the warbler out of Lingxue Garden and walked towards the rosewood courtyard where the eldest lady lived.
Coincidentally, at the fork in the road not far in front of the Rosewood Courtyard, I met Mu Qingrou and Mu Qingzhi head-on.
It's just that early in the morning, no one has a good face for her.
