Shi Xiangyun was already stupid when he heard this, even if he was ignorant, he knew how much difference between sixteen taels of silver and eight hundred copper plates. But Jia Jiu was still saying below: "Sister Yun, do you know that these 800 wen a pound of grapes are still the price inflated by the vendors on the back street who saw that they were the girls who were serving in the inner house?" Out of this Ningrong Street, the same grapes outside are only twenty or thirty wen a catty, and occasionally there are bidders of fifty wen, but it has never exceeded one hundred. If you go to Zhuangzi, the mountains are full of grapes, as long as you give an order, the boys on Zhuangzi are all rushing to help pick, at most they will spend a few copper plates to buy them bags of sugar to eat! ”

Shi Xiangyun was stunned for a long time before he said, "But the old lady is there......"

Jia Jiu said: "I also know that this year's grapes are sent in less than in previous years, firstly, the weather this year is not very good, and the harvest of grapes is a little worse than in previous years, and secondly, the minions below have sold a lot." It's strange to say that most of the minions who can do things are very greedy, and the minions who are not greedy are a little worse off doing things. The same is 800 catties of grapes, when they were sent to Beijing in previous years, three-quarters of them were good, but this year more than half of them were lost on the road. The old lady could get sixty catties, which was already the share that my father had saved for hospitality. The old lady's share is only slightly less than that of the ancestors on the side of Rixiangyuan. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Since the grapes outside are so cheap, why didn't the second sister send someone to buy them?" Why are you crying poor here? ”

Jia Jiu looked at Shi Xiangyun and said, "Sister Yun, there is one thing you probably forgot about jì, there is a comprador for purchasing." And I don't have the power to take care of outside purchases. What I can do is familiarize myself with these ledgers. Then take care of your yard and back garden. If the old lady can't live without this grape, I will honor my share here. Sister Cloud. Can you tell me who eats the grapes in the old lady's place? ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "After talking about it for a long time, second sister, you just don't want to take things out to entertain me." ”

Shi Xiangyun felt that Jia Jiu looked down on him, so he didn't want to take good things out to entertain his cousin, but he didn't know that Jia Jiu was depressed. After talking to this bear child for a long time, Shi Xiangyun didn't listen to it at all, and felt that he owed him.

Jia Jiu was also impatient and said, "Sister Yun." You should also have heard that our family has just been divided into sects, and the silver from the treasury has been returned, and this year's rent has not been collected, but the family's treasury has been dried up, and this daily consumption is still tight. The following Zhuangzi sent so many grapes, and he also had to set aside a share to worship the ancestors. Because the grapes are easy to spoil, they are given every five days, and the old lady has sixty catties of grapes. Even if Sister Yun and Baoyu eat with their bellies open, how much can they eat? Does my sister really think I don't know anything? A good basket of fruits was placed on the table, my sister and Baoyu were playing in the blue gauze cupboard, and those girls were waiting carefully. I poured out and ate grapes happily, and I thought the grape seeds were annoying! Could it be that the grapes were placed there for them to eat? Baoyu is a fool, seeing that they are good colors. As long as there is rouge to eat, he doesn't care if they are bought for a few taels of silver. Sister Cloud. You should also have a little more heart. Don't be used as a gunman, you don't even know. ”

Shi Xiangyun blushed and said, "It turned out to be in the second sister's heart." Am I just such a stupid girl? ”

As soon as he said that, he shook his hand and ran away. Cui Wei hurriedly gave Jia Jiu a salute and hurriedly followed.

Although Shi Xiangyun's age is young, his steps are not slow, he rushed into the rockery, but the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes, and his eyeballs swirled in his sockets, which made Cui Wei, who was following behind, very worried.

Cui Wei easily caught up with her own girl, and when she saw Shi Xiangyun hiding in the rockery, she knew that Shi Xiangyun didn't dare to shed tears in front of people, afraid of people's jokes, so she immediately said: "Girl, if the girl is really uncomfortable, just talk to the maid, the maid can't do anything else, but you can also solve it." Just like the grapes this time, if the girl had told the maid earlier, maybe the girl wouldn't have to go to the second girl. ”

Shi Xiangyun immediately put down his face and said, "Do you also think that the second sister is right to treat the old lady lightly." ”

Cui Wei said: "Girl, the second girl also said, this grape, first, is to leave a part of the ancestors, and secondly, the Zhuangzi sent less, so it is sent every five days." Girl, sixty pounds of grapes, and twelve pounds a day. There are so many grapes in one pound, and twelve pounds of grapes can fill the small round table in the blue yarn cupboard! The girl also knows that the old lady is old, and even if she wants to eat grapes, it is only a few grains before and after tea, and more is not given to the girl and Bao Erye? Girl, think about it, you have been here these days, although Bao Er Ye has had a great time with you, but the girls in his house are not clean. ”

Shi Xiangyun glared at Cui Wei and said, "Do you also want to say bad things about attacking people?" ”

Shi Xiangyun has been in Jia's house for most of the year, and he used to attack people to serve him. At that time, the name of the attacker was still Pearl, and she was the second-class girl in front of Jia's mother. Because he served well and was dedicated to Shi Xiangyun, Shi Xiangyun really said a lot of good things in front of Jia's mother. It can be said that attacking people can become the big girl next to Jia Baoyu, and Shi Xiangyun has contributed half of his strength. In Shi Xiangyun's heart, the attacker was the one who went out by his side, and whoever gave the attacker an ugly look would not give him face. Even if Cui Wei is his personal girl, he doesn't allow Cui Wei to say that it is not the attack.

Cui Wei sighed slightly in her heart, and said: "Girl, have you forgotten jì, the second-class girl in the second master's house before, which maid didn't see clearly at that time, he actually fed the parrot with pea yellow." It was someone on the side who stopped him and asked him not to spoil things, and the girl also heard the sound of the girl arguing with the little girl and the mother-in-law below. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "I remember. It's also that those mothers-in-law are too hateful, but it's just a piece of pea yellow, what's the big deal? ”

Cui Wei said: "Girl, this is not just a pea yellow thing. Whether it is a parrot or a starling, these birds are originally delicate and can only be raised with millet. The pea butter is greasy, where can the birds withstand? The girl didn't see it, and when evening came, the parrot was gone. I heard that Brother and Sister Parrot were not happy all day. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Is there such a thing? I remember that the parrot was very clever and could recite poems. ”

Cui Wei nodded and said, "Not really." That parrot was trained by my brother and sister. At that time, the foreign domain paid tribute to a pair of macaws, and Emperor Gaozu originally wanted to reward the pair of parrots to Mrs. Xiantai, but Mrs. Xiantai insisted on refusing. Later, the pair of macaws multiplied under the careful service of the palace offerings, laid many eggs in the palace, and hatched many small parrots. At that time, because Emperor Gaozu was very rare this pair of macaws, so after the little parrot was born, the mothers and princesses in the palace all wanted to get one, but Emperor Gaozu rewarded this nest of small parrots to Mrs. Tai, and sent the palace to take care of these parrots. These macaws look like ordinary birds, but in fact they represent the dignity of the house. You know, in this capital, in addition to the palace, there are only so many macaws in this mansion. ”

Shi Xiangyun was silent for a while, and said, "You go on......

"Yes." Cui Wei replied and said, "Girl, I also came out of the old lady's house." The first thing we little girls learned before we came in was to be a man and cherish blessings. It's like this parrot, obviously there is a special grain for parrots in this house, why does that girl have to use pea yellow? Isn't it in front of the little girl below that he has received the reward from above? The old lady's house often prepares all kinds of dim sum tea fruits, and the old lady can't eat it alone, so she naturally gives it to the sisters on top, and the sisters on top can't finish eating before it's the turn of the second-class girl, and the second-class girl can't finish eating it, so it's the turn to get the third-class little girl. Since that girl is a second-class girl next to Bao Erye, in fact, she is just a third-class little girl in the old lady's house. This kind of dim sum or something, the sisters above are not rare, but the little girls below can't touch it. The girl was obviously feeding the parrots with pea yellow, but it wasn't actually for show? But even if he spoiled things himself, why bother with the parrot? That's a life, too. ”

Hearing this, Shi Xiangyun also felt bored, and said, "You just want to say this?" ”

Cui Wei said: "Girl, this is just a small example. It's obviously a snack for the masters above, but those girls have the ability to toss. But no matter how short it is, the old lady's? Those girls don't care if the kitchen can be conjured up or not, they only care about their own comfort, but they don't know that sometimes the kitchen people want to cry when they see the ledger. If there is really no way, just like today, deliberately shouting that the old man and the second girl are short of the old lady's things, it is all because the old man and the second girl are not filial. The girl knows how many things in this house are made like this. Girl, you are the old lady's maiden niece and granddaughter, and you are not from this house, so why bother to get involved in these things. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "You mean, what I heard was deliberately arranged like this?" But isn't that right? About the big man, but I have been talking about it for a long time. ”

Cui Wei lowered her voice and said, "Girl, would you rather know that among the people who are bent on calculating the eldest master, the first one is the second wife?" Those girls will become like this, and they have nothing to do with the second wife. (To be continued......)
