"This..."Lin Mu'er poured the contents of his purse on the table, and was instantly dumbfounded, two pieces of broken silver, a few copper plates, looking at it, it was less than three taels of silver.

"This old man Liu is really an elm pimple!" Lan Xue on the side was also overjoyed when she saw it, covering her mouth and laughing.

Lin Mu'er looked at Lan Xue a little helplessly: "What's going on?"

It was easy to stop laughing, Lan Xue wiped the tears from laughter and replied: "Master, let's just have such a hot spring Zhuangzi, and it was rewarded by the first emperor to the prince, but it is far away, and the prince is not often in Beijing, so it is gradually deserted, leaving only Liu Laohan's family to take care of it there, and it will not become a borderless land." But that place is too partial, and there is nothing to make a living, Liu Laohan and his family eat and drink tightly tense, fortunately, the hot spring Zhuangzi is warm, plant some vegetables in winter, raise some chickens, ducks and sheep or something, it is fatter than other Zhuangzi, then Liu Laohan began to send some over, and then the prince felt that it was too hard to come from afar, so he allowed him to sell what he couldn't eat for some silver to subsidize the family. Alas! I don't know if I keep it for myself, or if I borrow it from others! In the end, Lan Xue was a little unbearable.

Lin Mu'er nodded thoughtfully, playing with a few pieces of broken silver in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What an honest man!" Mother Xie on the side also sighed.

"How many Zhuangzi haven't paid the money?" Lin Mu'er asked suddenly.

"There are a few Zhuangzi that are indeed thin fields, there is no harvest, it is good to be able to feed themselves, and there are a few shops, no one has taken care of them in recent years, and they are also in a state of self-financing, and then except for a few Zhuangzi and shops that honestly hand over their income, they are basically all handed over!" Lan Xue frowned and thought carefully.

"Hmmm! Yes, now we have a lot of money! Lin Mu'er looked at the thick silver ticket in front of him with some satisfaction, "However, if there is a punishment, there will be a reward, these honest people who take care of the palace industry and take care of the grange floor conscientiously, we can't chill other people's hearts!" Rubbing the small piece of silver in front of him, Lin Mu'er said in a distant voice.

"Yes!" Lan Xue also sighed, "If it weren't for the support of these stewards, I'm afraid the life of the palace would be even tighter!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Mu'er nodded, and when she saw Mother Xie, who was sleepy and kept rubbing her eyes, she stretched her waist and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it today, let me think about how to reward it, at this time, let's go to sleep first, otherwise, tomorrow morning, my mother's dark circles can't be covered again!" ”

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Lin Mu'er would suddenly make fun of herself, and Mother Xie suddenly looked confused.

Lan Xue was also happy, "No, my mother's gouache has bottomed out these days, and if she doesn't sleep anymore, Ming'er estimates that it is really not enough!" ”

"You girl!" Mother Xie was angry and funny, pointed at Lan Xue and scolded with a smile: "Even I make fun of me!" ”

A few more people laughed a few more times, and finally washed up and rested.

Because I slept late last night, I woke up late this morning, and when I opened my eyes, I smelled what was in the room

The crisp aroma of nothing.

"Hmm, what is it, it smells so good!" Lin Mu'er hugged the quilt and sat up. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the hoarfrost has fallen several times, and it is almost winter.

"Whoa! Look, master! Qingcheng smiled and fiddled with a pot of white chrysanthemums with proud frost and said: "Sister Lanxue bought a lot of chrysanthemums early this morning, and the slave maid picked a few of the most beautiful ones and moved them to our Weiyue Residence, and there are a lot of them in the garden!" It's beautiful! Do you want to go out and have a look? ”

"You, clean chaos, I saw the master get up, and he didn't hurry up to serve, he was still fiddling with the chrysanthemums, be careful that the master sent you to the garden to take care of the chrysanthemums!" Mother Xie came in and saw that Qingcheng was not waiting, glared at her, and hurriedly greeted her.

Hearing this, Qingcheng pouted a little unhappily.

"It's okay, it seems to be getting colder and colder this day, it's better to be warmer under the quilt!" Lin Mu'er smiled and shrank into the quilt not wanting to move.

"No, it's a thick layer of hoarfrost this morning, and it seems that in a few days, it will snow! If the master feels cold, let's burn the earth dragon and make it warmer! Mother Xie cleaned Lin Mu'er's face quickly, and Lin Mu'er couldn't lie on the bed anymore, so she got up to wash up and have breakfast.

"Master, do you want to go out and have a look? There are a lot of tweed in the garden, Sister Lan Xue said, wait a while, buy some camellias, begonias or something, and come back, so that the garden will be more lively! Qingcheng's face was yearning, and he couldn't help but want to go to the garden to have a look.

"You girl!" Mother Xie frowned, and glared at it again, "It's cold in the garden, and the master's body can't help it!" You, rest assured, don't keep thinking about running out! ”

Qingcheng pouted in a slightly disappointed manner, but in the end he was still sensible and didn't say anything more.

"Mom, don't talk about her anymore, I'm busy with things in the village during this time, and they're all stuffy in the yard, this garden is fresh, and I'll be fine, so it's okay to go and see." Lin Mu'er straightened her clothes, she was really tight for a while, and it was a good thing to go out to breathe.

"Then go and bring the master's rabbit down cloak, this will be when the cold rises, but you can't catch a cold!" Seeing that Lin Mu'er opened her mouth, Xie's mother had no choice but to give Lin Mu'er more clothes to keep warm.

"Hey! I'm going to get it! Qingcheng looked excited, and hurriedly went to the cage to get a cloak.

Walking all the way to the yard, sure enough, there are chrysanthemums with different postures along the way, yellow, pink, and some are green and purple chrysanthemums, which is really eye-opening!

"Master, look, this chrysanthemum has two colors, it's really strange!" Qingcheng pointed to a pot of mixed-colored chrysanthemums in disbelief and exclaimed!

"Yes, it's the first time a slave has seen such a flower!" Mother Xie, who was supporting Lin Mu'er, was also surprised.

"How good, looking at these flowers, I feel like I'm in a much better mood!" Lin Mu'er took a breath of cool air in the air and said with some sighs.

"No, it's a good day to watch these flowers bloom

It's like there's a rush! Mother Xie also felt that these days, the spirit has been tense, this will see these flowers, suddenly there is a feeling of physical and mental fat and relaxed, and I am no longer willing to think about those troublesome things!

"Look, master! It's Sister Lan Xue! Qingcheng suddenly became excited, and waved desperately at Lan Xue, who was busy in the garden.

Lan Xue, who was directing the handymen to place the flower pots, saw Lin Mu'er coming over, and hurriedly ran over to salute: "Master, why are you here, this garden will be messy, be careful to stain your dress!" ”

"It's okay!" Lin Mu'er said with a smile, although there was still a slight coolness in the air, but Lan Xue was still sweating on the tip of her nose, and her little face was flushed, thinking that she had been busy for a long time.

"Master, look, wait for this row of different chrysanthemums, and then clean up the dead grass over there, and then buy some other flowers to put on, our garden can be regarded as a cluster of flowers!" Lan Xue was full of a sense of accomplishment and said funny. Although they are all ordinary chrysanthemums, fortunately, there are many colors and different postures, and after they are placed in large and small sizes, they are also very pleasing to the eye! When has this Jin Wangfu ever been dressed like this, for a while, Lan Xue was also very yearning!

"It does look a lot more lively, and thanks to the proper arrangement of these flowers, you can put these flowers in order!" Lin Mu'er looked around the garden and couldn't help but admire.

"Slaves don't dare to take credit!" Seeing the master's praise, Lan Xue hurriedly waved her hand, "The slave and maid are just helping to greet her, all of them are placed by the whole lady in the kitchen, she used to be a flower farmer, and she is very familiar with these!" ”

"Oh?" Unexpectedly, there was still a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the Jin Palace, and Lin Mu'er was also interested: "All the big lady? If you really have this skill, you can transfer it to the garden as an errand! ”

Lan Xue shook her head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The whole lady may not be willing, this kitchen is full of oil and water, just the leftover meals every day are enough for the people below to eat for a few days, and the errand in this garden, Qingshui Yamen, I'm afraid it may not be worth it!" ”

Lin Mu'er nodded, what Lan Xue said was reasonable, the left and right were just some chrysanthemums that were easy to feed, and they didn't need to be specially assigned to take care of them, so they simply served. Lin Mu'er didn't mention it again, and walked around with everyone before going back.

When he arrived at Weiyueju and ate half a cup of tea, Lin Mu'er began to calculate the rewards on each Zhuangzi again, and listed two pages of paper with alterations and changes, and worked hard for a long time before the rewards were listed. Looking at his crooked handwriting, Lin Mu'er couldn't help but sigh secretly: This word is simply blindless, and the word of King Jin is really different from the mud!

"Master, Steward Xia's Zhuangzi sent a bear skin, saying that the blind bear broke into the farm by mistake a few days ago, and asked Steward Xia to catch him!" When Lin Mu'er was admiring her masterpiece with satisfaction, Lan Xue came over with a shiny and slippery bear skin.

"Yikes! So big! Lin Mu'er was a little frightened for a while, the bear's skin was stacked thickly, and Lan Xue was very difficult to hold. Come on, come on, put it down first! ”

"Yes!" Lan Xue was not reluctant, and put the bear skin on the table.

Mother Xie, who heard the letter, also walked in, and was startled when she saw this bear skin: "Yo, this skin is really thick, it must be very warm!" ”

"No, even in our warehouse, we don't have such a good skin!" Lan Xue also agreed

Lin Mu'er stretched out her hand and touched it, it was soft, very thick, there was an inexplicable sense of steadiness, she thought about it, and said, "Didn't you say some time ago that you would sew some knee pads and leg pads for Old Madam Yin?" Are you ready? Lin Mu'er looked at Lan Xue and asked.

"It's done, two pairs of knee pads and leg pads are made, both of which are sewn with extremely soft silver fox skin!"

"Okay, then go and deliver a greeting note to the Marshal's Mansion, we will go to visit Old Madam Yin tomorrow and bring this bear skin with us!" Lin Mu'er pointed to the bear skin on the table: "Find a decent box, such a good thing, you can't just hold it empty-handed!" ”

"You, are you going to give it to Old Madam Yin?" Lan Xue was a little puzzled.
