A studious Italian teenager in the family is in dire straits, and of course Zhang Shou won't take it to heart - didn't people in Jiuzhangtang try their best to ask for advice everywhere, didn't they flip through the Latin version of the geometry original when they were in class, and then desperately copied his equations while pondering? Now send a teacher who is proficient in the language to you, if you still don't like to be strict, then what do you want?

And Zhang Shou is not at home, Zhu Ying is also happy to go to the women's school as her own inspector of the imperial history, Zhang Yuan only has the Wu family who does not want to take care of things but has to take care of things, this day, not old at all, but will be respected as an old An person, she got a news that someone was sent by the door to hurriedly report. The concubine of Yonghe Palace sent someone to send a cart of things.

Regarding the matter of rewarding things in the palace, since he and Zhang Shou went to the capital, the Wu family thought that they had become quite accustomed to it, and when Zhu Ying married into the door, it was even more accustomed. But the day before yesterday, Zhu Ying brought back two carts full of fur and wool from Yonghe Palace, and when she entered the warehouse, she specially called her to sort, so that if she liked it, she would stay first, and she was almost dazzled.

And now this is even sent? Although Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying had already told her that Concubine Yu had already opened her mouth to give Zhu Ying things such as Zhiwei Xuanqi books and various weapons that had been treasured for many years before giving birth, she still couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Who is Yonghe Palace? ”

"The person who came claimed to be Xiaoyue, the big palace maid next to the noble concubine." Mother Jin, who came to report the incident, did not directly stop the Wu family, but followed her step by step, "Although there is no female official like Shanggong Shangyi by the side of the noble concubine Niangniang, since she is in charge of palace affairs, she has also transferred two female historians to the past, but Niangniang did not mention the palace people around her to be the female officials of the Sixth Palace Bureau. ”

If Zhu Ying was here, then she would naturally understand the meaning of what she said, what she said was why she was not a female official in the palace this time, however, after all, the Wu family had limited knowledge, so she didn't quite understand the meaning of this. But she remembered what Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying told her before, that is, if she didn't understand, she nodded and didn't express her opinion.

However, the Wu family finally understood a meaning, that is, it was not the female official in the palace who came, so she didn't need to go to the gate to greet her, as long as she met the other party in the small flower hall. But even so, when she saw that the people came in and bowed respectfully, she still hurriedly stood up and gave a hand.

Seeing that the person was not too old, she was not sure what to call her, so she simply avoided this stubble, and said with a smile: "Niangniang has repeatedly given her generous gifts, and my family is really scared and uneasy. ”

"Niangniang is still sitting on the mattress now, otherwise she might have come in person. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang and the eldest lady accompanying her that day, the mother would have finally relaxed, and she didn't know that she would have suffered a lot. Niangniang said, not to mention these things that she will never need in the future, even if she moves a mountain of gold and silver, she can't express the feelings and feelings in her heart. ”

The other party said it so sincerely, and even kept saying in the name of the concubine, the Wu family finally didn't know what to say. She was not very good at words, and she was suddenly speechless at this time.

Fortunately, Mother Jin, who followed on the side, was good at picking up and filling in the gaps, and immediately said: "My son-in-law and young lady also often say that Niangniang treats them as if they were her own and can do something for Niangniang, which is what they should." After all, they can have today, not only Mrs. Zhao Guo, but also the late Tai Yiren who fought for her life, but also the credit of Lao Anren's years of upbringing. ”

This time, because Mother Jin spoke on behalf of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying, even the Wu family was a little restless, and Xiaoyue, as a person from Yonghe Palace, was not overly humble on behalf of her own master at this time. So, then the Wu family saw that Mother Jin and Xiaoyue went back and forth and were polite, and then they saw Xiaoyue retreat with a smile.

She wanted to stop but didn't know if it was appropriate, and for a while she was sitting on pins and needles, and when she saw people turn around after leaving the house, she turned her head sideways to look at Mother Jin on the side with great anxiety. As a result, she saw someone step forward again, leaning into her ear and whispering.

"Anren, Miss Xiaoyue is just running an errand for the concubine Niangniang to make a statement, anyway, it is impossible for our family to refrain from this matter, if they can refuse, the son and the young lady would have resigned a long time ago."

Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally had to accept such a result. However, when she actually came forward to receive this batch of gifts and the corresponding list, she realized that she was still thinking too simply-because it was not just the books and weapons mentioned by Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou, but also ......

And a whole box of gold and silver ingots!

It was not so much a box as a box that was a foot long, half a foot wide, and about five inches high, because it contained gold and silver ingots, and it was so heavy that she had to struggle to move...... How can this be! Mother Kim, do you want to chase Miss Xiaoyue back! ”

Mother Jin was just flipping through the thick stack of lists, after all, the list listed the names of each book, God knows how that Concubine Yu collected so many strange and mysterious books in the palace, such as the red line red breeze Nie Yinniang and the other are more famous, then forget it, but she has never heard of many famous names!

Therefore, it wasn't until she looked sideways because of Wu's reaction that she found the box of gold and silver ingots, and she couldn't care about looking at the list carefully for a while, and she flipped through it to the end in three or two clicks, and was slightly stunned and hurriedly sent the page to Wu, and deliberately poked it on the last line with her fingers.

"Anren, you see, it's clearly written. One hundred taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver, which is not much, but I haven't mentioned it. ”

Wu also doesn't usually come into contact with such physical gold and silver - after all, now that there is a rich bank, a lot of money is transferred through there, and what she sees is just a number, and the bulk expenses on weekdays are money tickets. And the copper coins that are rewarded every day, one string after another, are all threaded with ropes, and then packed in baskets, after all, even if the wages of the subordinates, sometimes they do not need copper coins.

Otherwise, with such a large population, how many baskets of money will be enough?

As for gold and silver...... She really hadn't seen so much, after all, when she and Zhang Shou were in the countryside, such as clothes and miscellaneous items were supplied by the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and the tenants paid the tenants were all made of money or in kind. When Zhu Ying got married, she may have married a lot of gold and silver, but she didn't look at her daughter-in-law's mother-in-law.

At that moment just now, she even thought that it was from the preplay text, what a thousand taels of gold and silver or something......

Of course, at this time, the Wu family was told by Jin's mother, and she had already reacted, if it was really a thousand taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver...... That's two hundred pounds, right? There is no way that such a small box can fit it! But even so, she counted her fingers and still felt that the reward of Yonghe Palace was too heavy. The most important thing is what Mother Jin said, she didn't say so beforehand!

So, she immediately said: "In this way, you pick two people to go to the public school and the women's school separately, and tell Zhang Shou and Yingying about it." As for the things, you can send them to Yingying's room and ask Mother Li over there to help them count them. ”

When Zhang Shou, who was in the public school, learned that in addition to the box of things that Concubine Yu had agreed with him and Zhu Ying before, Yonghe Palace also had an extra box full of gold and silver, he was also a little surprised.

This money is not much, after all, a hundred taels of gold and a hundred taels of silver, together according to the market price, that is less than a thousand, and no one in the rich family lacks this money; But it is not a lot to say less, because the food and clothing of the concubines of this dynasty are in the account of the inner treasury, and the general ministers naturally don't know, but they can't stand the fact that there is someone like Zhu Ying who is familiar with the situation of the palace.

In addition to the supply of food and clothing, in the past, Concubine Yu only had 360 yuan a year, and now after the concubine was promoted, it was only 600 yuan, two-thirds of which was made of money, and one-third was gold and silver. With such a thought sent to him, what will Princess Yongping and the fifth prince think?

"Do you want me to go to the eldest lady and ask her what she says?"

Suddenly hearing such a sentence in his ears, Zhang Shou looked sideways, and saw that Ah Liu didn't know when he was quietly standing beside him, so he shook his head thoughtfully: "Mother must have sent someone to tell Yingying, so there is no need to ask her...... Besides, it's okay to go back and ask in the evening, it's not bad for a while. It's a bit of a strange thing, and it makes me think about it......"

Since Zhang Shou said that he didn't need to tell Zhu Ying, Ah Liu would immediately be ready to flash - in fact, if someone from the family hadn't come over to report the gift from Yonghe Palace, he wouldn't have any reaction when he heard it in the school hall for a long time, so he didn't feel at ease so he came in to take a look, otherwise he would never have any idea at all about this kind of thing, and he would definitely not interject.

But before he left, he suddenly heard Zhang Shou shouting again, wait, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Zhang Shou smiling lightly with a boxer, and the confusion on his face just now was swept away: "I'll write a note, you go and give it to Yingying!" You don't have to come back and tell me what to do! ”

Although I don't know why Zhang Shou suddenly changed his mind, Ah Liu, such a messenger, is still very willing to be it, and he didn't even think about why he didn't let himself pass the message, but sent a note.

And on the way to deliver the letter, even if it was just a note that was not even packed in the envelope, but was folded into a cross shape, he did not open it because of any unrealistic curiosity, but sent the thing to the female school and handed it to Zhu Ying.

I also got a report from my mother-in-law before, and Zhu Ying's entanglement and hesitation were no better than Zhang Shou. After all, Concubine Yu gave her all kinds of things, which is understandable, but she sent money, what is going on? Fortunately, Princess Yongping has been busy with women's studies these days, and she didn't care about Zhang Yuan's report at all, otherwise she was very unsure of what people's reaction would be after learning about it.

Therefore, pinching the note that Ah Liu solemnly sent, she didn't open it, but stared at Ah Liu and asked, "What did Ah Shou write?" ”

Ah Liu was puzzled and pouted at the note - I want to know what it is, don't you read it yourself, eldest lady? As a result, his action attracted Zhu Ying's muttering: "If it was me who sent the letter, I would have opened it on the road a long time ago to see what was going on!" ”

"The young master didn't let me see it!"

You really listen to Ah Shou! Zhu Ying wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, she trusted this young man almost as much as Zhang Shou, but wasn't it because he never made any discount when he carried out his orders? A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but when she unfolded Zhang Shou's note and easily read the few lines with a sweep of her eyes, she was stunned.

After a long time, she suddenly slapped the table, and regardless of whether Ah Liu next to her was startled by her action, she shouted: "Why didn't I think of it!" I'll just say, Niangniang shouldn't be such a cliché person...... No, I'm going to the palace! ”

Ah Liu didn't have time to speak, so he saw Zhu Ying running out directly in high spirits. He thought about it for a while and then pulled out his legs to chase after him, who knew that when he went out, he saw Zhu Ying standing there waiting for him: "There are enough people around me, I don't need you to follow, you don't have to worry, I'll go into the palace and ask clearly!" ”

Seeing Zhu Ying put down these words, she immediately shouted hello to the quicksilver that came out with her today, and then went out to call those guards, Ah Liu could only go back to the house suspiciously-in the real sense of the word. After all, now he has one more task to urge those little guys in Zhang Yuan's family to study hard. It's just that even if Zhang Shou has always told him that after returning to Zhang Yuan, he doesn't have to go back to the public school to pick up people, but he is still the same.

So, in the evening, Zhang Shou, who was out of school, still saw Ah Liu standing with an umbrella in front of Jiuzhang Hall. Looking up at the sky that began to snow again, he walked forward leisurely, seeing that Ah Liu had hit all the umbrellas in his direction as usual, he knew that he couldn't persuade this kid not to run around so much, so he asked bluntly: "After the letter was delivered, what did Yingying say?" ”

"The eldest lady said that she would ask clearly, clearly."

This is obviously an answer that is extremely in line with Zhu Ying's character, so Zhang Shou immediately laughed. Although he could wait until he went home before telling Zhu Ying his guess, in that case, the impatient eldest lady would probably not be able to hold back and enter the palace overnight, so he might as well tell her earlier, so that at least he wouldn't have to stay alone in the empty room during this long winter night......

Sure enough, when Zhang Shou took the warm carriage all the way back to Zhang Yuan, he learned from the door that Zhu Ying had not returned. He was not surprised by such a result, but then when he saw the Wu family, he was driven to see the things sent by Yonghe Palace today.

Because he had received the news in advance, whether it was for books, or for weapons, or for the box of gold and silver, he seemed very calm. However, this calmness only lasted until Miss Zhu Ying appeared in front of her like a warm sun in winter, and then several guards rushed in, each with a box in front of him, exactly the same as the one sent by Yonghe Palace before.

"What does that mean?"

Seeing that Zhang Shou was dumbfounded, Zhu Ying coughed and said, "When I went to Yonghe Palace today to ask Niangniang, the imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine also happened to be there, but Niangniang actually said it in front of them." I heard that Niangniang wanted to hand over the private money she had saved before to you to see if it could be of some use, so they immediately took out all the private money, and then, the Queen Mother also came......
