Chapter 50: Speculation

Zheng's eyes flashed, "Think about it again, what is different about their family?" ”

"Dressed up!" Liu Yunli clapped her hands suddenly, "I was only concerned about the carriage at the time, and I forgot to mention this." The family wore good clothes, and although they were not satin, they were fine muslin! ”

"Is this family able to pick up gold?" Da Chen's daughter-in-law Li held the child and pursed her lips and smiled, "It's only been a few days since the family was separated, why is it different?" ”

"Gold?" Liu Yunli stood up suddenly, "Dad, you said, there won't really be a treasure hidden in the ancestral house, right?" ”

"How so? If so, how could those people have left! Liu Chengwen shook his head. I think most of them have climbed some kind of nobleman. ”

"What ability do they have to climb to the nobles!" Liu Yunduo snorted coldly, "The third uncle and third aunt haven't even come out of the door, what will Yunlian Yunxiang do?" I'm afraid I can't even embroider a handkerchief! ”

"Wait! Speaking of embroidered veils, I think of one thing. Zheng said, "When I was a child last year, didn't your grandmother and your fourth aunt call the Zhou family to the old house?" I vaguely heard them talking next door. That day, the Zhou family was wearing new clothes, and your grandmother questioned them. Your third aunt said that she relied on the money earned by her two daughters doing embroidery. ”

Liu Yunli shook her head in disbelief, "How much money can you make doing embroidery?" In just a few months, how many handkerchiefs can be embroidered. ”

Da Yan's daughter-in-law's eyes flashed, "Isn't it ......?"

"Say whatever comes to mind!" Zheng glanced at her, "It's annoying to talk and hide it. ”

Da Yan's daughter-in-law smiled wryly, "I thought of a sentence I heard last time." Before the Chinese New Year, I went to Linglong Embroidery Village, and heard that the daughter of the Wang family got married, and bought a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren from Linglong Embroidery Village, and spent four or five hundred taels of silver. If the tent is embroidered by Yunlian and Yunxiang, I am afraid that I can get half of the money. ”

"That's not more than two hundred taels!" Liu Yunduo covered his mouth, "Can they have such good craftsmanship?" ”

"It's hard to say." Liu Chengwen said, "The third daughter-in-law also embroidered something when she first got married, and it seems that her craftsmanship is good." It's just that I had to do a lot of work later, so I didn't embroider anymore. I can't say it, she secretly handed over the craft to her daughter. ”

"Is this third family going to live?" Zheng's heart was not good, and the person who stepped on his feet was about to turn over, "If you want me to say that this family looks honest, and it is also a traitor inside." Since you can make so much money by embroidery, why didn't you do it when you didn't split up before? "Then the money will go to the public school, and they will be able to take advantage of it.

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this now!" Liu Chengwen sighed, "It's all written by the fourth child, and now that even the broken book has been written, we can't get a bargain." ”

"Not necessarily!" Liu Yunli pulled the handkerchief in her hand, "Anyway, it's not us who tear their faces with them, just look for opportunities in the future." "The third uncle and the third aunt are all kind-hearted and soft-hearted people, as long as she works hard, she won't worry about them not taking the bait," but she still has to inquire carefully. By the way, don't tell anyone in the old house about this. ”

"Why?" Liu Yunduo is thinking about telling grandma about this and letting grandma trouble them!

Liu Yunli looked at this girl and frowned a little, "You are stupid!" If the people in the old house know about it, they will definitely find a way to ask for money, can we take advantage of it? The fourth uncle is about to take the exam, and he has to fill his holes. ”

Liu Chengwen's family lives well, but they can't be called rich. Liu Chengwen is a big shopkeeper in a grain store, with a salary of eight taels of silver a month, and the grocery store is now managed by the Zheng family, and there are more than a dozen taels of profit a month. Zheng's parents are no longer there, and the grocery store is naturally left to her, which is equivalent to her dowry. The average monthly income of this family is about twenty taels. Liu Chengwen's side will not change, but the business of the grocery store is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Twenty taels of silver! It's more than two hundred taels a year. If this income is in a mountain village, you can definitely give it a thumbs up. But in the county, you can't count them. Not to mention the high cost in the county, it has to feed such a large family. Needless to say, the two daughters must be pampered, not to mention wearing gold and silver, and there are a lot of clothes and jewelry. Zheng also spent ten taels of silver to buy two little girls and make them maids. Da Yang has been studying, and he has to pay seven or eight taels of silver for a year, plus pen and ink, clothes, entertainment, and the expenses of Da Yan's daughter-in-law and son, how can I say no less than twenty or thirty taels.

In addition, the Zheng family can't do the work at home, and hires a cleaning mother-in-law, a daughter-in-law on the stove, and he also has a maid to serve.

In this way, she can only save a few dozen taels of silver in a year. So as long as they thought that Sanfang suddenly had more than two hundred taels of silver in their hands, their family was a little red-eyed.

Yun Xiang didn't know that someone was thinking about her family. She and Yunlian held hands, Shiro held Gorou's hand tightly, and the four of them went out of the teahouse to watch the excitement together.

"Sister, let's buy a lantern, shall we?" Where has Xiao Wu seen this kind of scene, seeing that many adults and children are carrying lamps in their hands, he can't help but want one too, "Use my own salary." ”

Yun Xiang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll buy one too, brother, sister, do you want it?" ”

"Then one person will buy one!" Yunlian also liked it, so she happily agreed.

When he came to a stall selling lanterns, Yun Lian picked a lotus lantern, Shiro picked a square lantern painted with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums on all sides, Xiao Wu chose a white rabbit lantern, and Yun Xiang took a carp lantern at random.

"Shall we guess the lantern riddle?" Yun Xiang saw that there were a lot of people in one place, "I heard that there is a reward for guessing it." ”

"I won't guess, it's better for you and Shiro to go!" Yun Lian was a little apprehensive when she saw that there were many people, "I'll take Xiao Wu to stand outside and wait for you." ”

Yun Xiang said that she couldn't do it, so she and Shiro squeezed into the crowd with all their might, and many people frowned and thought about the lantern.

"This ......," Yun Xiang and Shiro looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "It seems that this lantern riddle can't be guessed." ”

It turns out that this lantern riddle is hung under each lantern, and as long as the person who guesses the riddle comes up with the answer, he can take off the sign and take it to the front to answer the riddle. Unfortunately, these lanterns are hung relatively high, apparently in reference to the height of adults. Gorou could barely see it with his feet crossed, but Yun Xiang could only stare dryly.

The two of them gave up guessing the lantern riddle and were walking out, when they heard a female voice shouting urgently, "Childe, childe!" Wait a minute! ”

A girl dressed in apricot yellow chased a boy dressed in a big hat and hurried over.
