Fang Yage didn't care about what kind of people in Rongyangtang turned over after his group left, and as soon as he returned to Yahe Garden, he asked Bai Zhi to open the cabinet and take out his private money for many years and count it.

Over the years, Bai Zhi has taken care of Fang Yage's private money, and put it in the red sandalwood dragon and phoenix pattern cabinet that is matched in the stepping bed. Hearing that Fang Yage wanted to check, Bai Zhi didn't say much, took out the key and opened the cabinet, and took out the items inside the same way.

Fang Yage saw that the large and small boxes were slowly placed on the coral round table, and those that couldn't fit were placed on the rosewood flat-cornered table by the window...... There are more than thirty of them.

Bai Zhi opened them one by one, most of them are gold and silver jewelry made of pearls, agate, gold, jadeite and various colored gemstones, these are the rewards of the palace, and the royal gifts cannot be taken out and sold, and they are not suitable for daily wear, so they are placed here, not in the jewelry cabinet......

In addition, at a glance, you can see the large and small gold and silver naked children in the cabinet, Bai Zhi counted them, a total of three thousand five hundred and eighty-two taels, which is Fang Yage's monthly money and silver over the years and the reward of the elders during the New Year's Festival.

Then, Bai Zhi opened a small black lacquer box inlaid with luodian sunflowers, and inside was a stack of silver tickets, including ten taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels...... This was given to Fang Yage by Jin Rou, so that her daughter could easily buy things when she went out and go out as a guest to reward her subordinates.

Fang Yage calculated carefully, all she could use was the more than eight thousand five hundred taels of silver on hand, and if she wanted to take out this silver to do something, it was estimated that it was far from enough.

Fang Yage looked at it and sighed: "Hey, how can such a little silver be enough......

Bai Zhi almost fainted when she heard this, and said: "My county lord, more than eight thousand taels of silver is too little, and ordinary people don't need ten taels of silver that year!" ”

How did Bai Zhi know that what Fang Yage was planning in his heart now, this bit of silver was a drop in the bucket.

"Yes, quite a few! My little housekeeper saves me for me, and even rewards people for a penny, and I don't know how many people outside say that I slammed the door, but I don't know that it was Miss Bai Zhi who deducted their oil and water. Fang Yage deliberately teased Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi's cheeks bulged when she heard this, and she muttered while closing the box: "I'm not for the county lord yet, none of those maids and wives are rushing to our yard, and the errand of sesame mung beans can be done by two or three people together, not for the county lord to reward them." The county lord's money is blown by the wind? Raise their appetite, and if they give less one day, we have to say that we are stingy, and it is not good to give the silver. It's good that I didn't give them copper, but I don't work with the monthly money one by one, so I'm not used to them. With that, he put the box back into the cupboard.

Fang Yage laughed when he heard it, and didn't speak, it's normal for these maids to like to face the high and the low, as long as it's not too much, don't pay attention to it. After all, Bai Zhi is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is a little less tactful in dealing with people, so it is worth being angry about these things!?

It's just that the inner courtyard of the princess's mansion should be cleaned up, and the reward that should be given must not be less, otherwise the maids and women are not active in doing things, and the delay really outweighs the loss, but they must not be indulged, if someone is lazy and unruly, then it must be severely punished! It seems that one day I have to talk to Wu's mother, it's not enough to just set the rules, I should find an opportunity to knock people down.

……

The master and servant here were talking and laughing, Banxia walked in, followed by a woman about thirty years old, with a slightly plump figure, wearing a pinched gold silk peony dark pattern armor, wearing a tangled hairpin on her head, red jade drop bead earrings at the tips of her ears, and a waist swing between walking, I don't know which lady I thought it was.

This woman is Hua Meishu, who manages the needlework room, the sister of her aunt Hua Meiqing, and the daughter-in-law of Zhou Wanshan, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard......

"I've seen the county lord." Ying Ying bowed, and revealed the skein gold bracelet on her hand, Fang Yage looked at her eyelids, she really dozed off and met the person who sent the pillow, Fang Yage was worried about where to find a bad place, and shocked the people in the backyard, and this flower mother was sent to the door.

Fang Yage remembered that in her previous life, Hua Meishu's daughter Zhou Linglan finally became Fang Yahou's aunt, and Hua Meishu and Zhou Wanshan lived a life of calling slaves and maids, wearing gold and silver, and outsiders had to call Mrs. Hua when they saw Hua Meishu.

Fang Yage didn't believe that Min Fanghua would give money to an aunt's parents, but now seeing Hua Meishu's dress, Fang Yage suspected that this Hua Mama was probably greedy for the silver of the princess's mansion......

Fang Yage remained silent and asked kindly, "What is the matter with Mama Hua coming today?" ”

"The county lord of Qiqi, the slave maid came today to follow the instructions of the eldest princess, and sent the material to the county lord to make autumn clothes, it is now July, and now the materials are selected, and the embroidery girls have done it carefully, and the clothes can only be good before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The slave didn't dare to delay, so she picked up a few horses of material today and asked the county lord to choose. Saying that, Yuguan walked into more than a dozen little girls, each of whom was holding a cloth in their hands, each of which was complex in texture, well-made, pure in color, and it was a good material at a glance.

"The county lord has a good eye?"

Fang Yage listened, glanced down, and felt a chill in his heart...... The materials at the bottom are mostly colorful and colorful, and there are a lot of light-colored fabrics that I liked in the past, but this grade is different, this flower mama, good guts! In his previous life, Fang Yage didn't understand the twists and turns of this, but now he understands it at a glance.

Fang Yage thought for a moment, and said to Ai Ye, who was standing outside the door: "You have a good eye, help me pick one." It's just that I choose less plain colors and more lively ones, and I'm tired of seeing the white and pink of a cabinet. ”

"Yes, slave and maid command."

Ai Ye was originally the maid in charge of Fang Yage's dressing up, and when she heard Fang Yage say this, she naturally didn't work hard. After picking and choosing for half an hour, Ai Ye finally selected a big red peony to wear the flowers of Hangzhou silk, a water red pattern brocade, a green bird rank Ruihua brocade, a grass green cicada wing yarn and jade moon brocade, lilac soft smoke Luo, lotus lotus flower brocade with eyebrows, lake blue brocade and moon white snow yarn, jade white Ruyi cloud pattern brocade each, which is ten pieces of fabric, enough to make clothes.

The slave maid thought that the red and aqua red horses were perfect for making pleated skirts, and the leftover fabric of these two horses could be used to make two full-sleeved jackets of the same color. The turquoise bird's brocade and the grass-green cicada wing yarn are two armors, two plackets and two long skirts. The jade-colored moon brocade and the lilac-colored soft smoke Luo are each made into two sets of underwear and floor-length skirts. Lotus lotus color makeup brocade and aqua blue brocade made into a pair of placket jackets. In addition, although we also have a cloak in the cool autumn, it is not new after all, and the remaining fabric of these two horses is made into a cloak without rabbit fur, otherwise it will look tacky. ”

"There are also two sets of nightgowns and two sets of middle clothes made of moon-white snow spun yarn, and four sets of middle clothes made of jade white ruyi cloud pattern plain brocade. The rest of the fabric will be made into socks, uppers, purses, etc. in our room. Is it good for the county lord to think so? "When it comes to dressing up, Ai Ye is really the head, and a pair of big eyes are shining.

After Ai Ye finished speaking, she looked at Fang Yage, Fang Yage nodded, and Mama Hua answered: "Hehe, it is said that the Ai Ye girl in the county lord's house is the best at dressing up, but now I look at it, this is really true." The county lord has such a dexterous girl, and it is also appropriate that she is more outstanding than others in dress. This flattery sounds a little awkward,

"Alright, let's do that." Fang Yage didn't care about her, and served the tea after speaking.

Seeing that Fang Yage was not interested, Mama Hua didn't want to stay any longer, turned around and retreated, and led people away.

As soon as Mama Hua left, Fang Yage's face immediately changed, and she asked Ai Ye, "Have you remembered all the ingredients just now?" ”

"The slave and maid remember, the county lord can rest assured, which material should be made of clothes, the slave and maid remember it clearly, and the slave and maid will stare at the sewing room in person, and there will be no mistakes."

"Good! Bai Zhi, you give Ai Ye a hundred taels of silver, I have something for her to do. ”

……

In the splendid pavilion, the proprietress wearing the blue and green collar powder blue sprinkled flower bouquet waist placket warmly greeted the guests, the maids from time to time served tea and poured water for the sitting guests, if you fancy which cloth, as long as the lotus finger is lightly clicked, there will be a clever maid to take down the cloth for the guests to take a closer look.

This 'Splendid Pavilion' is a famous cloth village in the capital, specially to greet the ladies and ladies of various provinces, and ordinary people will not step into it at all.

As soon as Ai Ye stepped into the threshold, a little girl greeted her, bowed and asked, "This young lady, it's okay!" The slave and maid Xiao Tao will show you the way. "Although the cloth in the Splendid Pavilion is precious, there are often merchants' daughters who come to buy cloth, but the cloth bought is not very luxurious. Therefore, the first floor of the Fairview Pavilion is for ordinary guests, and the fabrics sold are also some new but not very expensive fabrics, while the second floor is for the guests.

Xiao Tao saw that Ai Ye's dress was not very luxurious, but she was also very particular about dressing, thinking that it was a young lady, so she took Ai Ye to the shelf on the first floor.

"Do you have any of these cloths?"

Ai Ye knew that she was dressed better than ordinary young ladies, so this girl misunderstood. So he smiled and said to Xiao Tao: "This sister has misunderstood, I came today on the order of my young lady to pick out some cloth to make clothes."

Xiao Tao immediately understood when she heard that this was everyone's daughter's personal girl who came out to buy cloth for the master, and the goods on the first floor were estimated to be unsightly.

"Sister, don't blame, it's Xiao Tao who misunderstood. If the sister of the goods on this floor can't see it, ask the sister to go upstairs, where there are still some treasured materials. With that, he took Ai Ye upstairs, and Ai Ye did not refuse. She knew that the second floor of this Splendid Pavilion was for entertaining VIPs, and the materials she wanted to pick were also among them.

Turning around and going up to the second floor, Ai Ye really saw the materials she was looking for, and inquired about the prices clearly, so she asked for more or less for each material, spent eighty-five taels of silver, got into the car with the purchased fabric and the rest of the silver, and rushed to the princess's mansion. Yesterday, the county lord gave her a hundred taels of silver after picking out the materials, and asked her to come to the Splendid Pavilion early this morning to inquire about the price of the fabrics she selected yesterday. Don't dare to think deeply, as long as you do what the county lord ordered, the rest is not something that she can speculate......
