Chapter 144: Filial piety
When she came home after a day of spinning, Huiya felt that her legs were no longer her own. Although there are carriages on the road, and there are places to sit in various shops, for Huiya, a girl who has not exercised for a long time, shopping is really tiring.
Save, who was still clamoring for a snack, was too tired to do so, and fell asleep on the carriage back, not even eating dinner. The others were better, but they were also very tired, and after entering the house, they each took their own things, and then they all went back to their rooms.
Huiya sat on the soft couch, frowning and Ren Yahuan rubbed her sore legs, thinking that her physical strength was too poor. If I had the opportunity to practice martial arts with my father and brother, I don't know if I would train my body better, so that I wouldn't be tired from even shopping.
After rubbing her legs for a while, Huiya relieved herself of the fatigue, remembering the delicious snacks she had promised Save, so she took the maid ring to the kitchen, thinking about what she wanted to eat. Save is young, and eats a lot of snacks outside during the day, and if she eats hard snacks again, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable, and Huiya wants to make something soft and easy to digest.
The kitchen lady was preparing dinner, and Hui Ya looked at what she was kneading with one hand, and suddenly remembered in her mind that the gold, silver, milk, and fragrant steamed buns that Aunt Cui had made for herself came.
When Huiya was at home, Da Niu and Xiaohu also liked this gold and silver steamed bun very much, and as long as they had this when they ate on weekdays, they could eat a few more small steamed buns than usual. What's more, Huiya knows that the medicine taken by her mother is not compatible with milk, and this milky steamed bun can also be eaten.
This gold and silver milky steamed bun is a thumb-length small steamed bun made of milk and noodles, after steaming, half of it is fried into golden brown with oil, it becomes a golden steamed bun, and half is still the original appearance, which is a silver steamed bun. The gold and silver steamed buns are staggered on the plate, and a little milk and sugar are put in the middle to make condensed milk, and the gold and silver steamed buns are made.
Seeing that everything is ready, Huiya thought about making some milky small steamed buns, so that her father and brother can also taste them, the method of this milky steamed buns is actually very simple, but when you usually steam steamed steamed buns and noodles, you add more milk and sugar, and then when you make steamed buns, it is slightly different from the usual kneaded ball.
Huiya knew that this milky steamed bun would take a long time, so she asked the cook to reconcile the noodles and wait for the delivery, and asked Yahuan to take the newly bought jewelry and fabric, and went to the main house to find her mother.
"Mother, I'm back!" With a smile on her face, Huiya saw that her mother was sitting on the bed embroidering something, and rushed over in a hurry, lying on her shoulder and coquettishly, "Mother, what are you doing?" ”
"It's nothing, don't you look at you going out to enjoy the flowers, embroider two sachets for you, hang them for fun or have a little sister, it's not bad to give them to each other." Second Lady Zhao raised her head and said with a smile.
"How about going out and having fun?" Second Mrs. Zhao saw that her daughter's face was excited and tired, and touched her little face distressedly, and said lovingly.
"Well, happy, mother, look, this is the head jewelry I picked." Huiya showed the things she bought back to her mother like a treasure, and she looked very cute.
"yes, okay." Second Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand and touched Hui Ya's white and tender little face, and took the hairpin to take a closer look. To tell the truth, the two sets of hairpins that Huiya picked are not valuable, the workmanship of the head of the set of pink agate is good, but the silver is used less, and the pink agate is not valuable, and a set of jewelry is only thirty taels of silver.
The head of the red gold spring, although it is made of red gold, but the spring flower is not a big flower, it doesn't cost much gold, and the hairpin rod or something is also hollow, so the whole set of head noodles is only fifty taels of silver.
With the addition of a few golden hairpins, although it looks very beautiful in the box, and it is also in line with the appearance of a child of Huiya's age, it adds up to about 100 taels of silver, which is not very valuable.
The jewelry that Mrs. Zhao bought for Hui Yun and Fang Shaxiang is not much different from this, but it is within a hundred taels of silver. But the red gold head jewelry for Hui Feng is really magnificent, and it is very heavy, Hui Feng's two sets of head jewelry plus fragmentary hairpins and other things, add up to more than three hundred taels of silver, which is more than the money spent by Hui Ya and the three of them combined.
"Well, Ya'er, you're young, and it's decent to wear these out." Second Mrs. Zhao looked at Huiya's jewelry, because she opened a jewelry shop, she probably knew the price as soon as her eyes matched.
Seeing Huiya's excited appearance, she couldn't bear to splash her cold water, so she smiled and nodded in praise, but she was thinking in her heart, whether to take some gold and silver jewelry back to Huiya from the shop where she was married, her daughter hurt herself, and she still had to dress up well.
Hui Ya pinched the silver hairpin in her hand, and she was also thinking about her mother's jewelry shop, she had been home for so long, she had never seen her mother look at the account book, nor had she seen her mother see the housekeeper in the shop, and then thought of the crazy man at the beginning, Hui Ya felt that her mother's shop had been controlled by Xiao Zheng's family.
"By the way, mother, I heard that the silver bird building was opened by the wife of a big family, and I don't know who is so powerful that he can open a silver building!" Huiya tried her best to lead the topic to the shop.
"That Yinque Lou is the dowry shop of the wife of the prince of the Lu State Mansion, and the wife of the prince of the Lu State Mansion is the lady of the Changsheng General's Mansion." When Second Mrs. Zhao heard Hui Ya ask, she was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly.
"Lu Guogong's wife?" Huiya was stunned when she heard her mother's words, isn't this her mother-in-law who had no fate in her previous life, Qian Jingchen's little unlucky mother? It turned out to be Miss Yan of the General's Mansion, and she was also the owner of the Silver Bird Tower.
"Well, Yinque Tower is a decades-old brand, I heard that it was built by the wife of General Changsheng's mansion, and later when the girl got married, she made a dowry......" Because it is a peer, I know more about this detail, and the second lady Zhao looked at Huiya's rare interest, so she talked to her carefully.
"Wow, Mrs. Shizi of the Lu State Mansion, she is really amazing!" Huiya listened to her mother's words, and couldn't help but tremble, such a skilled lady, she must also have a lot of skills in the inner house, if she fell into her hands in her previous life, she would probably have to take off several layers of skin.
"Mother, I remembered, there is still the silk I picked for you, now that spring is in spring, my mother will also make a few new clothes to wear!" Huiya picked up the silk like a treasure and put it in front of her mother, so that she could quickly divert the topic.
"Okay, my Ya'er also knows filial piety!" There are a lot of maids and daughters-in-law who go out with Huiya, in addition to the incense branches, there are naturally second Mrs. Zhao's henchmen, as early as when she just returned home, second Mrs. Zhao heard about the beginning and end of Huiya's purchase of fabrics, knowing that Huiya has this filial piety, not to mention how happy she is.
