Yan's mother replied: "Madame didn't mention that she wanted to buy an industry, but a few years ago, she renovated the garden on a large scale, and built a hundred flower courtyards and a few courtyards in Baicaoju, spending almost 5,000 taels of silver. ”

In fact, there were only four or five thousand taels of silver left in the account. Although it is a lot worse than I expected, this amount is enough. Ordinary people only have thirty or forty taels of silver a year, and as a large family's daughter, although they can't be as frugal as ordinary people, they spend less, so seven or eight hundred silver a year is always enough.

Huiyu was calculating the account, Yan's mother stopped, and saw two forks in the road ahead, one leading to the Baihuayuan and the other zigzag along the edge of the garden, which was probably the one leading to the tent.

Sure enough, Yan's mother blessed Huiyu, so she quit and walked to the side.

Hui Yu took Caiyun back to Baihuayuan.

As soon as I walked into the door of the Baihua Courtyard, I heard Emerald Green shouting: "You little hoof, you want to rebel when the girl is not there?" Look at the good deeds! ”

I heard Crimson persuade on the side: "Don't worry about the little girl, the girl will come back in a while, and it won't be too late for you to report it." Why bother shouting here without a face now. ”

Occasionally, I heard the little girl sobbing.

Hui Yu was irritable when she heard this, good guy, I just went out in the morning, and there was a lot of trouble in the courtyard.

Caiyun saw Huiyu's face sink and cautiously followed.

Bypassing the shadow wall facing the courtyard gate, I saw Shi'er sitting on the ground, covering her face and crying, and Qin'er on the side was comforting her in a whisper.

Emerald Green stood under the porch, with an angry face, and Crimson was beside her, and when she saw Hui Yu coming in, she shouted "girl" and hurriedly saluted.

Emerald green, Qin'er also saluted.

Shi'er hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, stood up, and called, "Girl." And he prepared to bless.

Hui Yu waved her hand to make her stand up and said, "What's going on?" What is it like to shout and scream! What about Mother Fang? No one in charge came out! ”

Crimson replied, "Mother Fang said that the girl must be tired and hungry when she came back from this meeting, so she went to the kitchen to cook food for the girl." ”

Hui Yu let out an "um" and said, "You all go to the house and talk about what's going on." With that, he strode in.

Crimson, emerald green, Qin'er, and Shi'er followed Caiyun into the hall.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Huiyu took a sip of tea, saw Qin'er open her mouth and was about to speak, and said, "Emerald Green, you speak first." ”

Emerald held her stomach for a long time, she had long wanted to sue Huiyu, and when she got her approval, it was like pouring beans, and Guala Guala said: "Girl, I don't know, I look at the sky today, thinking that you have not worn a lot of clothes in the cage for a long time, so I took them out to bask in the sun, who would have thought that Shi'er's little hooves would hide behind the clothes and eat mulberry fruits, and I found out, this little hoof was a thief, and actually smeared the fruit on the girl's clothes, dyed a large ball of purple." You said that this little hoof, it's okay to be lazy to eat, and you have ruined your good clothes! This is still the new cloak that Mrs. specially ordered someone to find from the treasury during the Chinese New Year, and I haven't worn it a few times. ”

After speaking, he showed the cloak in his hand to Hui Yu.

Only then did Hui Yu find that Emerald Green also had a cloak in her hand, and she saw that the golden face was indeed dyed with a bowl of purple, which was particularly eye-catching.

Emerald Green is in charge of her clothes, and now that this is happening, it is normal to be in a hurry. It's just that I didn't say that I was going to dry my clothes today, so why did I remember this stubble? Besides, Emerald Green is not the kind of person who is delicate and will take the initiative to do this.

Huiyu pondered and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to dry your clothes today?" ”

Without waiting for Emerald Green to answer, Qin'er said: "Back to the girl, it was Qin'er who saw that the weather was good, so she told Sister Emerald about drying clothes." ”

Huiyu turned her head and asked Shi'er: "Shi'er, is what Emerald Green said true?" Why hide behind your clothes and eat mulberry fruit? ”

Shi'er glanced at Emerald Green, and said timidly: "It's Sister Emerald Green who asked me to look at the clothes, don't let the wind blow, it just so happened that Qin'er's family asked someone to bring some mulberry fruit over, and the big guy ate it separately, I thought about eating it after drying the clothes for a while, but Sister Emerald Green said that I could eat it without a tight piece, so I took the mulberry fruit to eat." ”

When Emerald Green heard this, she exploded again: "I meant to let you eat together, but I didn't say that you should hide behind your clothes and eat, and you don't use your own brains, can you eat this fruit on the edge of your clothes?" ”

Shi'er was bluffed like this, and tears began to roll in her eyes again: "But my sister didn't say that I didn't have to look at the clothes, I was afraid that the clothes would be blown by the wind, so I sat on the side of the clothes and ate mulberry fruit......"

Crimson also confirmed what happened as Emerald Green, Qin'er, and Shi'er said.

When Hui Yu heard it, this was completely a communication problem, the green thick lines didn't think to tell Shi'er more, Shi'er didn't think of being flexible when she admitted death, this was not a big deal, but now that the cloak is dirty, no one wants to take this responsibility. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to play fifty boards each: "Emerald Green is already responsible for managing clothes, and Zhang Luo should take care of his clothes today, but he only cares about eating and does not tell good poetry." Shi'er was ordered to look at the clothes, but during the period to eat mulberry fruit, although it was a green permit, but I can't figure out which is more important than food and clothing? Also, Crimson and Qin'er, seeing Shi'er eating mulberry fruit while looking at her clothes, didn't think about replacing Shi'er, which was also a dereliction of duty. ”

After speaking, Huiyu thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, Emerald Green and Shi'er will be fined one month each, and Crimson and Qin'er will be fined half a month." ”

All four should go down.

Emerald Green asked again: "Girl, what can I do with this cloak, the color of the mulberry fruit is the most difficult to wash." If you can't wash this cape, you won't be able to wear it. ”

Hui Yu took the cloak and looked at it carefully, the color of Luo Zi's hair was bright, the texture was soft, and it was worth a lot of money. It was a very magnificent cloak, and it was a pity that it was dyed with color.

Caiyun, who had been standing quietly on the side, spoke: "Girl, can you let the slave and maid see the cloak?" ”

Hui Yu handed it to Caiyun.

Caiyun gently touched the cloak and said, "This kind of camel hair is particularly delicate, don't look at the weight is not heavy, but it is very warm." But it's also delicate, those soaphorns, grass and wood ashes are the most untouchable, and when you touch this hair, they shrink and don't warm up. However, the color of this mulberry fruit has to be washed vigorously with soaphorn to get seven or eight points. ”

"So what can I do?" Emerald was in a hurry.

"It's not impossible," said Caiyun, "if you embroider a pansy with red thread on it, and the dyed purple is just on the chest, and it looks like a flower on your clothes, what does the girl think?" ”
