Chapter 20: Identity
"All of this is earned by the husband?"
"Three hundred wen a pound? Can you have a harvest of six dollars a day? Just those little greens in the backyard garden? ”
Looking at the five yuan that Tang Panshi put on the table, Pei Cai'er was surprised by the look on her face, what surprised her was not that Tang Xiu actually knew how to go out and learn to go out to do business, but since when did the money outside start to make so good money?
Twenty catties of green vegetables can be sold for a high price of six yuan, so wouldn't his two-day vegetable money be about to withstand the harvest of a whole stubble in the silkworm room in the backyard?
Is this just a blockbuster?
"The young lady is right, these are indeed all brought back from outside by the young master."
The smile on Tang Panshi's face has never been broken: "Although the old slave didn't see it with his own eyes, Tang Lu has always been by the young master's side, and this money is indeed a fixed amount of money for Xiangmanlou to buy vegetables." There are a total of six times, and the young master has kept it consistent, and the rest of these are all instructed to be sent to the young lady. ”
Seeing Tang Panshi looking at him, Tang Lu continued: "The young master said that since all the affairs in the mansion were taken care of by the young lady during this time, he would be troubled by the young lady in the future. Also, from now on, all the money for the vegetables sold in the house will be recorded in the account and handed over to the young lady to take care of and dispose of, and what things to buy and what to buy in the house in the future will all be decided by the young lady. ”
"That's what he said?" Pei Cai'er's thin eyebrows raised, and she raised her hand and patted the money bag on the table: "Six times a day, for three months in a row, nearly six thousand yuan of huge funds are all handed over to me, can he rest assured?" ”
The young lady laughed. Tang Panshi chuckled and said, "How can there be a reason between husband and wife that can't be believed? The young lady is diligent and thrifty, and she is wise and wise, and being able to marry the young lady is a blessing that the young master of my family cultivated in his previous life. ”
"Young master, he is young and frivolous, and he has indeed done a lot of bastard things before, but this time, in this matter, the old slave has to say that young master, he is indeed rare and wise."
"Well, since Steward Tang also means this, then I won't be hypocritical anymore."
Pei Cai'er stood up gently, changed her previous weak expression, took out her money bag and pushed it to Tang Panshi, and said in a sonorous voice: "Since you have already received someone's fixed money, then don't lose your trust to others." The vegetable garden in the backyard is really smaller, and the supply of twenty catties of vegetables per day is probably a little reluctant, so the money Tang Steward will take and recruit two more available people to expand the vegetable garden outward, not too big, it is enough to make a whole acre of land. ”
Tang Panshi nodded in agreement, but he didn't take the money directly: "Young lady, just ask two idlers to help, twenty or thirty wen is enough, you don't need so much." ”
"The rest is the daily food and clothing, add two clothes to Mrs. Tai, and the vegetables in the backyard vegetable garden can no longer be moved, remember to buy some vegetables and meat from outside."
I really can't afford to eat 300 pounds of green vegetables, even if they grow them themselves.
"Yes, young lady, the old slave has written it down." Tang Panshi bent over, and then suggested softly: "Young lady, since there is an entry in the house now, do you think you should recruit two more people who are responsible for laundry and cooking?" The young lady is expensive, how can the rough work in the kitchen always make you suffer at the same time? ”
"There's no rush for now." Pei Cai'er shook her head lightly: "It's true that there is an entry in the house, but it is uncertain whether it can be stabilized or not." Besides, I'm not as delicate as Steward Tang said, just a few people's eating and drinking, and Wan'er and I can still handle it. ”
Tang Panshi didn't say anything more when he heard this, but he bowed deeply at Pei Cai'er.
Arrogant but not extravagant, thrifty but not stingy, the Tang family can get a young lady, fortunately!
got up and sent Tang Panshi and Tang Lu out of the room, Pei Cai'er turned around and stared at the remaining four copper coins on the table.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Wan'er carried the pot and poured a cup of warm tea for Pei Cai'er, and saw that Pei Cai'er was absent-minded and didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked softly.
Pei Cai'er came back to her senses, glanced at Wan'er and asked softly, "Wan'er, you said, why has his attitude changed so much before and after?" ”
"When I first got married, he pointed at me at the wedding banquet and even scolded me, which made me lose face in front of the guests on the spot, and finally got a reputation as a fierce woman who beat her husband."
"But now, look at him......"
Although the money is not much, this is an attitude that Tang Xiu agrees with himself, and this attitude is what Pei Caier needs most now. Otherwise, without the approval of Tang Xiu, the head of the family, Pei Caier would always be an outsider in the Tang Mansion, and Tang Panshi and Tang Lu, the henchmen and servants of the Tang Mansion, would not agree with her as a young lady from the bottom of their hearts.
"Didn't Tang Lu say that Uncle had completely forgotten what happened before?" Wan'er persuaded: "I think my uncle is very good now, although his temper is a little stinky and his mouth is a little harder, but in general, he is still a hundred times stronger than the previous loser, which is a good thing." ”
"Perhaps."
Pei Cai'er shook her head lightly, and then looked at the money bag on the table.
"Three hundred pounds of green vegetables, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not impossible to water it with those well waters. It's just that he is not afraid that the secrets of the house will be known by outsiders? Or does he already have a complete countermeasure for this? ”
Pei Cai'er felt the need to communicate with Tang Xiu.
Seeing Pei Cai'er's thoughts, Wan'er proposed softly: "Miss, why don't we go to my aunt's place now?" It just so happens that my uncle hasn't eaten yet, so let's send it to him by the way. ”
The dinner that had been prepared for Tang Xiu had been placed in the pot and warmed because of his sudden departure, and now it was a good opportunity to send it to him. Although Wan'er doesn't like Tang Xiu very much, but now that he is the husband of their young lady, Wan'er naturally hopes that the relationship between him and the young lady can be relaxed and harmonious.
"It's fine." Pei Cai'er nodded and said, "You go to the stove room first, and if the food is cold, heat it again." Don't be greedy anymore! ”
"Got it, Miss!"
Wan'er stuck out her little tongue mischievously, if it weren't for the fact that the meal made with well water at night was too delicious, how could she eat two large bowls of rice in one go?
I have to say that under the same conditions, the food made by Pei Cai'er, whether it is in appearance or taste, is much stronger than Tang Xiu's second knife, and Wan'er even wants to swallow her tongue when she eats.
There is also Mrs. Tai, listening to Qianhe, Mrs. Tai actually ate three bowls of rice porridge in a row at dinner, and she also ate a whole plate of green vegetables. Fortunately, every time I cooked porridge for the old lady, I habitually prepared some more, otherwise it would not be enough for her to eat.
