Chapter 161: It's not easy to stand on your own

Fang Yue sat in Mrs. Hu's flower hall every day to embroider, listening to the excitement in the flower hall, Mrs. Hu and the sisters-in-law of the flowers quarreled, teasing the children, and the mood gradually relaxed.

She understands her mother's thoughts, she works hard for others, and it's okay to work tirelessly and not make money, but it's not okay to risk her life. We are not invulnerable, we are not three-headed and six-armed, we have no ability, and we have no ability to turn things around.

Dad's highest education is a secondary school for training, and he has worked hard to try the anthology in the space every day, and let people read to him over and over again, striving to hear the sound of reading when he can close his eyes.

As long as you have an official position and want to make a difference, we have a way. But the army can't help it, meritorious service on the battlefield? There are 100 catties of meat on his body, and he can't do it without any force.

So, I already knew that Liao Ling was in trouble and saw Grandma Hu's difficulties, can I stand by and watch?

No? What should I do if I don't have the ability and ability? Relying on others to get to this point, if we don't reciprocate, can we go happily in our hearts?

If you don't want to go, give all your belongings to others, don't keep a penny, and give it to Liao Ling if you earn it in the future, can you do it? People have money, but what they lack is not money.

The family is playing with their lives, is our lives worth anything? The ant-like characters in the eyes of the powerful are desperately afraid to no avail.

My brother must be thinking of a way these days, not only to keep Liao Ling alive for the past few years of the reign of the young emperor. It is also necessary to ensure that even if the emperor is changed, Liao Ling can become an indispensable figure in the emperor's heart.

"It's too hard. How? ”

Mrs. Hu turned her head to look at Fang Yue, "This kid, don't do it, grandma is playing with you!" There is no shortage of screens for milk, so don't be embarrassed to rest your eyes. ”

Fang Yue obediently went over and changed a cup of red date longan water for Grandma Hu.

"Good boy, your father bought the house where Mrs. Wu'an Hou was married, is he planning to move in?" Mrs. Hu took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay to move over, but you have to stay with grandma." ”

Is it okay to move away? They originally relied on the Guogong Mansion to have today, and they had to move out after living in the capital for half a month? "Milk, my mother said that I want to live here all the time, if it brings inconvenience to the Guogong Mansion in the future, we will not be too late to move."

Mrs. Hu laughed, "You are really, Grandma Hu will tell you directly, Brother Ling and I are in the capital, we are famous, and we have no power and no connections." Grandma Hu! I don't want to have anything to do with the court through marriage, we can't do it, and we can't calculate others.

Besides, is the marriage really strong? A daughter of a big family can afford it. Brother Ling can gain a foothold in the court, and people are willing to help, if they are not capable, they should pay for a daughter to empty the family business of the Guogong Mansion. ”

Xiaohua said, "Auntie, Brother Ling is not a fool, the daughter-in-law subsidizes her mother's family and moves all the family business, and Brother Ling can't be willing!" Besides, our roots are in Ningyuan, what is there to move here? ”

Mrs. Hu glanced at Xiaohua, compared with the big flowers, these few who got married were far from the poor heart, and they didn't see things as well as the big flowers.

Mrs. Hu said directly: "Don't talk about Brother Ling." Grandma Hu told you bluntly, if you really want to help Brother Ling'er, you should move out first. If it is the title of the gold list, where do you live, you have nothing to do with the Guogong Mansion. ”

Fang Yue got up and sat beside Mrs. Hu, took her arm, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you." ”

"Good! Okay, Brother Ling doesn't go into the back house once a day, with you with me, grandma will have someone to talk to relieve boredom! Mrs. Hu hugged Fang Yue and smiled.

The house in Miliang Lane was bought, Fang Mingtong and Fang Mingcai, Changle, and Changtie had a job to do, and they had to take people to make a kang in the outer courtyard wing, so as not to delay the daughter-in-law's soap order.

Here in the capital, Mancang's daughter-in-law and Tan's each prepared two pots of soap in the morning and poured them into a mold to dry. When I came back at night, I found that the soap that had been molded a few days ago was dried and formed, and one by one was buckled out and put in the basket with oiled paper.

The molds are used in turn, and there are almost 200 shipments per day, which can fully guarantee the supply of the Beijing rouge shop.

The side door enters the position of the house, build a tile shed, put the well under the tile shed, and kill the chickens, boil water and remove hair here in the future.

The original stove room in the outer courtyard was changed to a stove for baking chicken powder, and the three rooms facing west were changed into a soap-making house.

After entering the courtyard, there were three rooms in front of Mrs. Li with her son and daughter-in-law, Guo Mancang with her daughter-in-law in the east and west, and the west wing room was reserved for Fang Mingquan's family.

The workshop was cleaned up for half a month, and when the north wind blew, Fang Mingtong had already begun to burn the kang over there.

The house at the end of Dongzhimen Street is a little difficult to clean up, and Wu'an Houfu left a gatekeeper, who is the middle-aged man with a straight face.

Leaving the gardener's family to take care of the flowers and trees, and the rough servants in the garden. The huge mansion, only these few people can't do it, and they can't finish cleaning for a day.

Moreover, Mrs. Hu asked them to move out, they can't help now, all they can do is be honest and obedient.

Dong Xiaoying sat in the five halls of the outer courtyard, rubbing the armrests of the circle chair with her palms, waiting for people to bring people.

Chang'an picked up the topic and said, "Mother, what kind of wood do you see this furniture made of?" ”

"Wenge wood, this kind of wood is very common in the capital. The lobby of our store is made of sandalwood, which is better than this, but it is also a very general sandalwood. The private room behind the pastry shop is made of ash, which is also more high-end than this. Dong Xiaoying patted the chair, "That's good, what more bicycle do you need for five hundred taels." ”

Chang'an said, "The furniture in the study on both sides is walnut, I think it's very good!" ”

"The most expensive is the rosewood furniture in the main house, and the walnut wood used in your yard, a set of put it out to look calm and atmospheric." Dong Xiaoying raised her hand and patted the square table.

"We're going to live here, we need to buy a lot of things, let's have cutlery! There are only two low couches in the outer study room in the courtyard, but the kang can be used, and the bed must be customized.

The bedding and bedding are not finished here, and they have to be made by the old lady. Do you calculate, just to complete the tea sets and ornaments to be used in each room, how much silver will we spend? ”

Chang'an said, "Mother, we don't need to open so many yards!" You and your father live in the main courtyard, and your sister lives in your cross-courtyard, which means that there is only one courtyard in the back house.

Cai Kun lives in the outer study, and I live in the side courtyard next to another outer study on the east side, and after calculation, there are two courtyards and two study rooms. ”

Dong Xiaoying clasped her hands together and said, "What about here?" Someone has to be received, even if you are all in the study to entertain guests, you should keep it here just in case! By the way, there is also a study, there is not a single book in it, and if you buy a cabinet full of books, I will go bankrupt! ”

Ren Yazi brought more than a dozen little girls in, but Dong Xiaoying didn't even pick it, and waved her hand to let her out. Say no to child labor!

"Next time we bring a woman, we don't sell slaves, we just need to live on the contract, that is, we clean the yard, and we can do other things ourselves." Dong Xiaoying explained to Ren Yazi.

Chang'an helped his mother all the way out, Chang'an drove the carriage, first bought all kinds of tea sets and dishes, as for the vase ornaments, forget it! That's too expensive!

Transported back to the new house, the two dragged back to the Guogong Mansion exhausted.

Fang Yue waited in Mrs. Hu's room, saw her mother and brother coming back, and greeted with a smile, "You can be regarded as back, Grandma Hu said that Mama Qi's family can help, Mama Qi is from a family of internal affairs." ”

What? Is there still a family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Dong Xiaoying greeted Mrs. Hu in a regular manner, and Mrs. Hu asked her to sit down quickly, "Mama Qi doesn't deal with the clan, when she and the princess went out of the palace to build a mansion, they could go home, and it was the same if they became a lady who returned to the princess's mansion as a housekeeper."

The clan did not agree with her going back, and Mama Qi said that because the Qi family in the Queen Mother's Palace was released, the clan elders must have a second-grade Shang Palace in the clan, she is in the Princess's Mansion, and even if the grade cannot reach the position of the Shang Palace in the future, she can also be the head of the Princess's Mansion.

That's why Mama Qi must come to my side and twist it so as not to make the clan proud. ”

Dong Xiaoying didn't know what to say, "And this matter?" How can this be? ”

"The family that relies on the palace maids and eunuchs to maintain is not like this!" Mrs. Hu changed her words, "There is a good girl in the Qi family, she didn't go to the palace on an errand, and followed her aunt to open a teaching hall." Teach the rules of the maid in the hands of Renyazi, she should have the right people in her hands. ”
