When Tang Xiu was happily hoeing and pulling weeds in the space alone, Pei Cai'er and Wan'er were not idle.

In the last courtyard of the Tang Mansion, near the back door, where the people in the mansion usually wash and cook and chop firewood, Pei Caier had ordered people to clean up a few clean houses as early as ten days ago, hatched a batch of silkworm seedlings, and raised mulberry silkworms while the mulberry trees had grown tender leaves in early spring.

In the past, in the Pei family, because she was a concubine born by Yahuan, she was not valued by the main family, the master mother disliked it, and the evil slaves bullied her, Pei Caier and her mother Qin's life was difficult.

The monthly rules that should be there are often deducted, and the share of food and clothing that should be there is often misappropriated and deprived by people under various excuses, and in desperation, the Qin family took Pei Caier to raise silkworms, peel off the cocoon, weave cloth into silk, and raise Pei Caier little by little.

Therefore, although Pei Caier is considered the young lady of the Pei family in name, she has also survived from a hard life, and she is very familiar with the set of silk weaving.

Pei Cai'er and Wan'er each took a basket of mulberry leaves that had been cut, a silkworm frame to spread and feed, the silkworm has just hatched, the size is as big as a needle, black and not slippery like an ant, the slightest accident has the possibility of being crushed by a larger mulberry leaf, so the two of them are very careful when spreading broken mulberry leaves.

"Miss, we are all about to become the descendants of the Tang Mansion, laundry and cooking, raising silkworms to support the family, which young grandmother do you think is as hard as Miss?"

Wan'er pouted and whispered for their young lady, but her work was not delayed at all, she also knew that these silkworms were now their young lady's heart and soul treasures, and in the months before the autumn harvest, all the people in the Tang Mansion had to feed these little insects.

Pei Cai'er shook her head indifferently: "What kind of young grandmother, many grandmothers, didn't we come here like this when we were in the Pei family before?" ”

"But this is the Tang family!" Wan'er argued: "Miss is now the young lady of the Tang family, Miss is busy here for the livelihood of the Tang family, my uncle is good, and he is idle and idle every day, which is simply a ......."

I wanted to talk about waste, but when I thought that Tang Xiu was also the husband of the young lady, Wan'er closed her mouth appropriately.

"You, just a mouth that doesn't forgive people!" Pei Cai'er smiled gracefully: "Okay, it's just to raise some silkworms, it's not bad to be tired, if you feel tired, stop and rest, don't hold on." ”

Wan'er pouted and muttered quietly: "Where are people tired, it's just that they feel a little distressed." It's all to blame Tang Xiu for that bastard, if he hadn't defeated the Tang family, Miss wouldn't have worked so hard now, hum! ”

Ignoring the little girl's indistinct muttering, Pei Caier did the work in her hands seriously, and the mulberry leaf silk was evenly sprinkled on the silkworm foil, and hundreds of silkworms in the silkworm foil competed for food, and the scene was very lively.

"After two months, these silkworms will become good silkworms, if nothing else, before the autumn harvest, you can raise another batch, with these silk silks as a base, if you save some, the autumn harvest is unsatisfactory, and we can probably survive the spring next year."

Pei Cai'er showed a smile on her face, since she married into the Tang Mansion, she has been worried about the livelihood of the Tang Mansion in the next few months, seeing that the silver money she brought is decreasing day by day, and there is no other income in the Tang Mansion that can be maintained by income, if there is no other way, the little money she brought will sooner or later sit on the empty mountain, and it will not be able to support the autumn harvest season at all.

Fortunately, although the Tang family has stopped raising silkworms for many years, there are still more than a dozen old mulberries with decades of age planted in the front and back houses of the Tang Mansion, and it is these mulberry trees that make Pei Caier see new hope.

In order to save expenses, in the past half a month, nearly ninety percent of the people in the Tang Mansion have been persuaded to leave the mansion by Tang Panshi at the suggestion of Pei Caier.

Qianhe can't leave Mrs. Tai for a long time, Tang Lu is Tang Xiu's follower is also indispensable, as for Tang Panshi, he is also nearly fifty years old, old and weak, and his energy is gone, Pei Caier is embarrassed to let him work too hard, so these things in the back house can only be supported by Pei Caier and Wan'er, their masters and servants.

"Fortunately, Mrs. Tang had the foresight to set up the rule that no ancestral land should be sold, which can be regarded as preserving the hundred-acre fertile land for the Tang family, otherwise, if this Tang Mansion is bigger, I am afraid that it will really disappear."

said that she was lucky, but Pei Caier sighed lightly in her heart, who would have thought that the Tang family, which was still beautiful half a year ago, now has no money left in his hands except for a mansion in Ruoda?

"But this is not a bad thing, if it weren't for the fall of the Tang family, how could the in-laws of the Pei and Tang families get my turn, and how could I take the opportunity to get out of that cold and ruthless family?"

Although it was an abandoned son thrown by the family, and despite the shortcomings and hardships in the Tang Mansion, Pei Caier still liked the life she was living now. Because from the moment she married into the Tang Mansion, she was completely free from Pei Youdao's control and completely drew a line with the Pei family.

Jumping from one fire pit to another, although it is unfortunate, compared with the Pei family, who is related to him but is cold and ruthless, Pei Caier prefers to stay in the Tang family. There are not so many constraints and scruples, and it is much more comfortable.

After feeding all the mulberry leaves that came, the sun had begun to deviate to the west, and it had been about an hour since noon. It can't be that Tang Lu's kid secretly gave him something to eat, right? ”

There was no expected angry and rude noise, nor did she whisper and beg for mercy as expected, Wan'er's heart began to feel a little apprehensive, and she didn't know what tricks Tang Xiu was playing.

Pei Cai'er cleaned her hands in the basin of water and whispered: "Since Steward Tang nodded before, it means that Steward Tang also wants to take the opportunity to teach Tang Xiu some lessons, otherwise, do you think Steward Tang will let you be a little girl like this?" ”

"Therefore, since he had Steward Tang's orders, Tang Lu didn't dare to make any moves in private. As for why Tang Xiu didn't react," Pei Cai'er chuckled: "He's not a three-year-old child, and if others don't give him something to eat, won't he find it himself?" Teenagers, can they still starve themselves to death? ”

Wan'er said in confusion: "But he doesn't have any money on him, and I have hidden all the pastries and cooked food that can be eaten in the house, can he still conjure up something to eat by himself?" ”

In order to be able to give Tang Xiu some color to see, Wan'er can be described as painstaking, since the morning when she was cooking, she has cleaned all the things that can be eaten in the stove, just in case, I don't want to see what she wants to see the most.

"Huh?"

As she was talking, Wan'er seemed to smell something, standing in the middle of the yard, raising her nose to sniff east and west, and muttering: "What is so fragrant?" ”

Without waiting for Pei Cai'er to speak, Wan'er quickly set her eyes on the stove room, thought of a certain possibility in her heart, and walked quickly towards the stove room.

"This girl is still so hot."

Seeing Wan'er's repeated actions, Pei Cai'er couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle, and followed with a light move of Lianbu.
