Chapter 9 Specially Appointed Maids
An Li looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the vermilion gate, with two words "Guo Fu" written on it. Entering the gate, An Li carried a wooden bucket containing glutinous rice balls in one hand and pulled two cow eggs in the other, "Big families can't afford to mess with it." An Wei thought, so he lowered his head and followed the little guy carrying the shelf tightly.
Passing through the corridor, there is a garden, on the left side of the garden is a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones, and on the right the winding stone path crosses a lotus pond and leads to a pavilion, in which the young man sits.
"Fortune, pick the red one and bring it to the plate," said the young man, looking at the barrel
"Yes," Rifle replied, carrying the barrel and walking out.
"How did you make this thing?" The young man looked at An Li expressionlessly and asked.
An Li felt a chill in his heart, what did you say, making a glutinous rice ball also provoked this young master?
It's right to pretend to be pitiful, so An Li shook his hands, twisted himself hard, and said with red eyes: "We are from Yaojia Village, my father and mother are dead, and my second aunt wants to marry me to a fool, so our brother and sister hid in the county seat, and we just want to make some money to supplement the family." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Laifu came in with a tray, Laifu put the plate with red beans and glutinous rice balls on the table in front of the young man, and put down two small plates with sugar and honey, the young man picked up a piece of honey and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed slowly.
Just as he was leaving the hairy hair, a lady with a hairpin ring came over from the stone path with a maid.
"I've seen the second lady," Laifu hurriedly saluted
The second lady nodded "um" and said to the young man: "Zhi'er, this is the freshly boiled mung bean lotus seed soup, the most popular is to go to the fire, come and taste it." Then a maid brought a bowl to the young man.
The young man didn't raise his eyes and ate glutinous rice balls by himself and didn't answer, the lady was embarrassed for a while and then squeezed out a smile and said: "Zhi'er, you are not young anymore, and there is no one to be cared for by you, your father asked me to ask you what you like, and Erniang asked her to find it and send it over?" ”
"You better save this heart, it's enough for me to have a blessing," the young man said coldly.
"How can it be the same, where is the blessing better than the woman who knows the cold and the hot?" The second lady persuaded.
"I've got a candidate, so you don't have to worry about it!" The boy just wanted to get the lady away as soon as possible.
"Oh, who's that? Our house? The second lady was puzzled.
"That's her!" The young man saw that she had to break the casserole and ask to the end, so he had to point to An Li, who was standing in the room.
"She?" The second lady looked at An Li, thirteen or fourteen years old and Zhi'er were the same age, looking long and delicate, but dressed in tatters, and there was a little boy standing next to him like a little flower.
The second lady glanced at the girl ring beside her, and the girl immediately realized: "Who are you?" ”
Hearing that the young man pulled himself in, An Li really wanted to tell a few words of conscience in heaven and earth, who should be the person who knew the cold and the hot, but he didn't dare to interject rashly, this time he heard someone ask and quickly replied: "The little one is a seller of glutinous rice balls, and he can only make glutinous rice balls, and he won't serve people!" ”
The second lady felt a burst of amusement when she heard An Li say the words of demolishing the stage, and looked at her kindly and said, "Since the things have been delivered, let's go, but I didn't give you any money?" ”
An Li couldn't wait to leave quickly, and pulled Erniu Dan in his mouth and said, "Give, give, let's go" and retreated.
"Don't go!" The young man was a little annoyed when he saw that the excuse he had used to prevaricate was exposed, and he shouted loudly.
An Li stood on his feet in a daze, pulling the two cow eggs, not knowing what kind of demon moth this young man was going to be.
Then I saw a man at the door, dressed in a blue robe with wide sleeves and a curved collar, with a black belt decorated with silver embroidery tied around his waist, and black boots with silver threads tattooed on them. The man said loudly, "What's the matter?" ”
The room fell silent all of a sudden, no one spoke, and the young man sat down at the table in a huff. The second lady stood aggrieved and looked at the person who came.
When the visitor saw that no one was silent, he said to Yahuan: "You say, what's the matter?" ”
"Back to the master, the second lady has sent lotus seed soup to the young master, and by the way, I asked the young master if there is anyone who has something to do," the maid said.
"Zhi'er?" Master Guo looked at the young man.
"What? I don't eat what you send, so you want to stuff someone next to me, and you plan to drug me at any time? As he spoke, the boy swept the bowl of lotus seed soup on the table to the ground.
"Presumptuous! What did you learn in college? Filial piety and loyalty, where have you learned etiquette, righteousness and shame! Guo Jinghai also felt that he was a little too much after roaring, and then eased his expression and said: "Start a family, start a family first and then start a business, you are not young, you can discuss marriage next year, it is also my idea to find a girl by your side first, what are you not happy about?" ”
"Dad, if I can pass the selection of Tianlong Academy, you can let me go!" The young man was silent for a long time, and suddenly such a sentence came out.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Master Guo thought that he was persuaded by himself, but he didn't expect to be so stubborn, and said helplessly, "Wait until you're over, and then talk about it!" Then he left the pavilion with the second lady.
"Childe, it's okay, the little ones will go down first." Seeing Master Guo walking away, An Li asked tentatively.
"Whoever let you go, you will come to make me a ring tomorrow!" The young man looked at An Li, thinking that she had just lost face for herself, and became angry.
An Li took a look at how he was involved in this, and hurried to: "The son is tormented by the little one, the little one is just a rough person, and the little one doesn't understand anything!" ”
"Ten taels of silver a month." Juvenile Road.
"Thirty taels!"
"Fifty taels!"
"One hundred taels!"
An Li looked at the young man helplessly and shook his head. Rich people are big perverts, especially rich people in ancient times! If you want to leave this new human being in the 21st century, how much money will be paid for slavery, An Li is also unwilling to go.
"One hundred taels! If you don't agree, you don't have to stay in Liancheng County! After the young man finished speaking, he added: "My father is Guo Jinghai!" Seeing that An Li didn't react, he said loudly: "My father is the commander of Liancheng County!" I am the son of Guo Yuanzhi's county order! ”
Depend on! This is the ancient version of "My dad is Li Gang!" An Li scolded angrily.
"Okay, I promise! But I have two conditions: first, pay the silver first, and second, don't spend the night in the mansion," An Li said reluctantly
"Blessing! Go to my room and get the money box in the drawer" Guo Yuanzhi regretted a little after speaking, thinking that his young talent and graceful demeanor were disliked by a poor peasant girl, and letting An Li stay as a maid was just a matter of anger.
After a while, the money box was in An Li's hands, and Guo Yuanzhi said distressedly: "One hundred taels of silver a month, you have to help me pass the selection of Tianlong Academy!" ”
"What are you kidding? God knows what the hell that selection was! I can't help you! Accidentally said what was in his heart, An Li hurriedly said: "Oh, I mean, what if you can't get by?" ”
Guo Yuanzhi smiled brightly at An Li, "Then you have to send this silver back to the master" An Li's heart immediately cooled.
"What do you choose? Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? An Li asked angrily
"Yo, you know all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you're still a rough person?" Guo Yuanzhi quipped, seeing that An Li ignored him, he continued: "The selection is etiquette, music, shooting, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics!" ”
"You, what's your name?" Guo Yuanzhi said.
"Ann Rihua."
Guo Yuanzhi looked at it and saw that it was getting late, so he pushed his hand out and said, "Come here tomorrow!" ”
When he got home, it was already dark, and Wen Chuan said anxiously: "The meal has been heated twice, where have you two gone?" Erniu Dan didn't care about it, he already took the steamed bun and ate it.
An Li briefly talked about the events of the day, looked at Wen Chuan's eyes full of worry, and quickly pretended to be happy and said, "We have made a lot of silver today, what about you, hurry, come and count them"
Wen Chuan smiled and said: "The apricot blossoms have been counted several times, we sold all the glutinous rice balls we brought out today, and there are a total of 2 taels of silver and 80 Wen left."
An Li also counted what he had taken back, not counting the 5 taels of silver that Guo Yuanzhi gave before, a total of 1 tael and 900 wen, so he earned 3 taels and 980 wen. Except for the 1 tael of silver used to buy materials yesterday, I still made a lot of money.
An Li took out 5 taels of silver to Wen Chuan: "I can only come back in the evening during this time, you take this to buy materials, we still have to make glutinous rice balls, but this is easier to learn and will not be sold in two days, you usually look at some when you buy materials, and if you don't sell well, you can do less."
After that, An Li planned to put the remaining silver in the iron box given by Guo Yuanzhi. An Li opened the box and found that there were silver ingots, silver bills, and copper coins in the box, so it was estimated that it was not easy for Guo Yuanzhi to save this bit of silver, it seems that it was not easy for ancient people to spend money like earth.
