Chapter 13 The Silver of the Month
Hua Qianshu was lucky, and it didn't take much time to come, so he caught up with the house to issue monthly silver.
Although the aunts eat and drink, and rouge and gouache, they all have public purchases, but if they want to dig out their hearts to compete for favor, they must be dotted up and down the house.
Uncle Seven Emperors doesn't have a reward for them on weekdays, and they have little soup and water on weekdays, so everyone is looking forward to the monthly silver.
The monthly rate is sixteen taels per person.
In his previous life, the Seven Emperor Uncles spent a lot of money on themselves, and in the Qingyu Pavilion, there were all kinds of cherished antiques. Sixteen taels of silver, Hua Qianshu can't see it, but he also knows that it's a lot.
In ordinary large families, the monthly routine of the aunt is only two or three taels.
Walnut told Hua Qianshu a day in advance: "According to the rules of the yard, the monthly silver is withdrawn from Mama Yan, and when the time comes, don't forget to honor Mama Yan." ”
"Why?" Hua Qianshu was surprised: "What kind of rule is this?"
"Needless to say, it's naturally a habitual rule. Although it is said that it is a turn to serve the prince, Mama Yan can do something from it. The aunts are all in a hurry to slap her, in addition to the filial piety of good wine and good food on weekdays, they must also consciously even out a little when they send monthly routines every month. ”
One person has three taels, and six people are eighteen taels, which is fatter than my aunt's pocket.
"Everybody gives?"
Walnut groaned slightly: "I used to hear Aunt Qianyue say, it seems that Aunt Yinfeng never gives it, but Mama Yan doesn't dare to do anything to her." Aunt Qingyu's family is solid, and the teaching department who entered the palace at the beginning had the intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and she was generous in this regard, giving five taels every time, so Mama Yan took a high look at Aunt Qingyu. ”
"What about Luan Ying? She pretends to be high-minded, and she is also disdainful of doing this kind of thing?"
Walnut nodded: "Aunt Luan Ying is high-spirited, and she is unwilling to be just an aunt, and she actually secretly pleases Mama Yan behind her back." However, others are stammering, she is holding a reward shelf, and it is not good to get out of the silver. ”
Hua Qianshu sneered: "Qianyue didn't give Yan Pozi any benefits before, why don't you see her take care of her?"
Walnuts don't make sense.
"That thief is a bully who is afraid of the hard, I won't get used to her anyway. ”
Walnut sighed for a while: "This relationship always has to be slowed down. Maybe Mama Yan will look down on you for the sake of these three taels of silver?"
Walnut didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind, so Hua Qianshu asked her in wonder, "Who taught you to persuade me like this?"
Walnut was suddenly debunked by her, and it took a while for a while before she said truthfully: "It was Aunt Fengtan who saw me yesterday and told me in private." She secretly told me that the old lady had never arranged for you to serve the prince from beginning to end, and it was hard to guarantee that no one was obstructing you. Now the relationship is not stiff, bow your head, and there is still room for turnaround. ”
Hua Qianshu was a little surprised, but Feng Tan advised himself like this, thinking about it repeatedly, it should also be a good intention, but he was afraid of being isolated by those few people, so he didn't dare to walk around with him openly, right?
After lunch on the second day, Hua Qianshu went out of the courtyard with the excited walnuts and went straight to Mrs. Yan's residence.
Bang Yue and the others have already received their own monthly examples, but they haven't left yet, waiting to see the joke.
Hua Qianshu came in with walnuts, and Yan Pozi handed her the silver bag containing the monthly rules with a smile on her face.
Hua Qianshu didn't look at it, and threw it to the walnut: "Take it." ”
Walnut was so excited that her little face turned red, and when she opened the silver bag, she wanted to take out three taels of silver as agreed yesterday and keep it for the benefit of Yan Pozi.
But as soon as the silver bag was opened, she was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Hana Chiki glanced over.
Walnut raised his face, glanced at Yan Pozi, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Only ten taels of silver." ”
Hua Qianshu herself was also stunned, turned her face and asked Yan Pozi directly: "Why is there only ten taels?"
"How much do you want?"
Hua Qianshu frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that every aunt has sixteen or two months?"
"That's another aunt, you're new, ten taels is good. "Mrs. Yan is right.
Hua Qianshu smiled "hehe", turned his face and told Walnut: "Let's go, let's go see the old lady." ”
The corners of Yan Pozi's lips couldn't help but twitch twice: "Is the old lady also what you want to see?
"The old lady is kind to me, and I am uneasy with this month's silver, so I want to return this month's number to the house, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart. Hua Qianshu explained with a smile.
Mrs. Yan's face sank instantly: "The royal family has a big business, will it be rare for you to have this bit of silver? ”
Hua Qianshu said in a continuous voice: "Then I wonder even more, the royal family has a big business, how can the old lady instigate so many taels of silver from me? ”
The walnut behind him was so anxious that his heart trembled, didn't he say before he came that he wanted to reconcile with Mrs. Yan?
When she got the silver bag, she hesitated, but she was afraid not to say it, and went back to the yard, this little silver was covered with her mouth and couldn't say it clearly, and she said, this flower aunt who didn't rub sand in her eyes really smashed the pot.
Yan Pozi's face turned the color of pig liver, knowing that it must be Hua Qianshu who was suspicious of her, and sneered: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the silver allocated by the government is sixteen taels." But you must know that there is not only one person who serves you in this yard, but also up and down, in the kitchen, the maids and women who are responsible for sprinkling and cleaning and repairing, and doing chores and rough work, everyone works hard. Don't you, the master, mean that you are rewarding some hard-earned money?"
Mrs. Yan is really cunning, she knew from the last Qingyu beating that Hua Qianshu would fight for every minute and would not give her benefits, so she deducted it first.
Hua Qianshu asked, and then pulled the subordinates in the entire courtyard. If Hua Qianshu insisted on getting the money back, then she would undoubtedly offend the maids and maids in the entire courtyard.
I don't dare to say anything else, in the future, none of her food and clothing will be better, maybe how these people are secretly doing things.
She can't afford to stammer with Yan Pozi. However, she couldn't come down with a rod and offend everyone.
Hua Qianshu smiled: "It turns out that Mama Yan is so painstaking." Please forgive me for not knowing, the monthly rules of the people in this courtyard are divided by the aunts. I originally wanted to reward two diligent subordinates alone, but Mama Yan did a good thing without saying a word, and I almost became a big wrongdoer. ”
Mrs. Yan smiled coldly: "Aunt Hua, are you blaming my mother-in-law for being troublesome?"
