Red Medicine sprinkled some freshly made dried flower petals into the steaming barrel.

She learned a lot from Qingmei, and now she is quite particular.

Although the young lady of his own family is a little colder, she is also a delicate daughter who should be raised carefully.

Saying that women should not be obsessed with color is nonsense! Women, it's good to be pretty and pretty.

"Young lady, today I went to the incense powder shop and bought some grease, the texture is good, but the taste is better, and it will be used to wipe my body later."

Hongyao took all the monthly money sent by Gongzhong and bought all the cream, jasmine oil and the like.

Wang Yingning knew, and only smiled and said that there are so many bottles and cans, so many bottles and cans have to be wiped every day.

"Yes, every day!" Hongyao said affirmatively.

"Young lady, there have been three or four Lang Zhong in and out of the young master's courtyard, and I heard that I haven't woken up yet."

Hongyao scooped another scoop of water and asked slowly:

Now that the house has become a mess, the old lady saw the young master being carried into the door bloodily, and fainted on the spot. Madame, she is even more of a master, hugging Aunt Yao and crying, crying has not stopped until now. ”

Hongyao said this, and he stopped talking a little.

"The young lady hasn't visited yet, and the slave is afraid that if you don't even show up, you will be criticized in the future."

Wang Yingning waved her hand, don't worry, since it has become a mess over there, others will not notice it if she goes, just go later.

"Qingmei, you go to the public middle school and call a cook, let him cook some light food, and say that I will personally serve it to the young master later."

Now that she has the title of a young lady from a full family, she still has to pretend to be a woman.

Hongyao nodded silently, the young lady is now more and more thoughtful and decent, such a young lady reassures her.

Regarding the change in Wang Yingning's attitude towards Man Zhang, Hongyao saw it in his eyes, and he was still a little skeptical, but gradually saw the personality of the Manchu family.

Even she can't look down on her as a maid, and it is not surprising that the young lady has changed her mind.

It's just that she inevitably felt sorry for the young lady in her heart, if only she had known what kind of person the young master was earlier, her master would not have been determined to marry in.

Red Medicine sighed again, listlessly fiddling with the jars of cream.

The young lady is only thirteen years old, and this life is still long, long.

It's hard to be trapped here, and the whole family that is not worthy of her at all will not be able to do it for a lifetime.

After Wang Yingning finished washing, she lay on the dry and soft muslin cloth, and the red medicine gently rubbed the cream all over her body.

Rao is red medicine is a woman, and when she touched Wang Yingning's white and flawless and smooth skin, she was a little shy and blushed.

"Today, you went to Lu's house and went to the gate of the yamen to see the excitement, and you also went to the fat powder shop, you were outside all day, have you heard anything?"

Wang Yingning wore the above, leaning lazily on the couch, and there was no coldness in the past, and her voice was a little more lazy.

"But I heard some of them, saying that the court was going to promulgate a new law, and that in addition to slaves, the women born to them, whether they were scholars or concubines of poor families, must marry before they reach the age of fifteen. Otherwise, you will have to pay a lot of taxes every month. ”

This matter is a big deal, and now the people in the county are discussing this matter in addition to discussing the ugly things of the whole family.

"There are so many women in the world who have reached the age of fifteen and have not married." Wang Yingning sighed.

In today's troubled times, the north and south have been fighting all year round, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, more and more people have died. This practice of the imperial court is undoubtedly to increase the new population.

"Yes, yes, now those who have young ladies in the family are in a hurry to beg matchmakers everywhere to be relatives...... But there are only a few matchmakers in our county, all of whom are respected old men, and most of them are old, and their legs and feet are not so neat. ”

Hongyao was refreshed today, opened the chatterbox, and said with a smile while wiping Wang Yingning's hair:

"The people who are waiting to get married are anxiously waiting to get married, and the matchmakers are also panicking, and now our county is all in chaos, and everyone is in a hurry. I heard that our prince went to Linjun, and it was for this matter that I discussed with the lord of Linjun. ”

Although this decree has not yet been officially promulgated, it has already been widely spread. Such a liveliness is rare to see in a hundred years, and it has naturally become a topic of conversation among the people in the county after dinner.

She was watching the excitement of this matter, but Wang Yingning fell into deep thought.

For a while, I felt a hot panic in my heart, and some messy thoughts were running rampant in my mind.

Wang Yingning is a person with a strong personality, a calm temperament, and a calm temperament.

After listening to Hongyao's words, somehow, I just couldn't calm down.

In the past few days, Man Zhangzhi has been recuperating at home.

There are a lot of people who come to visit the Xiaoxiang Library.

However, this is said to be a visit, but in fact, there are many people who come to see the excitement.

Every time they came to see Man Zhang, most of them giggled when they left, and they looked like they were full of excitement.

Man Zhang, who couldn't get out of the bed, was a little more angry in his eyes.

In the first few days, Aunt Yao was waiting for him with a puzzled dress, and the whole person was haggard and thin.

At this time, stealing chickens and rice was not successful, and it also made the whole county see the excitement, and his back was full of wounds, like a string of firecrackers that had been lit.

sprinkled all the anger on the heads of the subordinates and Aunt Yao.

Aunt Yao, who has been scolded several times, sometimes has an illusion that this tyrannical man is still not the handsome and dashing young master of the Manchu family who fascinates many women and blushes.

Aunt Yao returned to her yard in a sad way, but saw two people sitting in her room.

One is her mother's brother and the other is her cousin.

"Why are you here?" Aunt Yao frowned and said impatiently.

"What are you talking about?" Her brother Yao Bin is not good at stubble:

"If you are rich, you will not care about your mother's family, ungrateful things!"

It was her cousin, who was a little reserved, and muttered to her cousin.

Aunt Yao ignored it, turned around and was helped by Cailan into the inner room to change clothes.

After a moment's effort, Aunt Yao wore her hair loose and wore a loose homely shirt and came out listlessly.

Seeing that the two people were still there, he lowered his face.

"How much money did you lose this time? I don't have much here, Cailan will give him twenty dollars. "Aunt Yao knows that these people in her mother's family, every time they don't let some blood out, they won't give up.

Yao Bin snatched the money bag from the maid's hand and counted it, no more, no less, exactly twenty yuan.

It's really time to call Hanako.

"Don't treat your brother like a beggar!" Yao Bin sneered coldly and said, "I'm not betting this time. ”

"I fell in love with a shop on the outskirts of the city and wanted to buy it, you have to think of a way."

Aunt Yao glared at him angrily:

"Where can I do anything, my monthly monthly silver is only 100 and 80 yuan, and it has been looted by you and your mother, where can I get it for you."

Yao Bin didn't force her, only kicked her cousin's stool.

He has always been at odds with Aunt Yao, and Aunt Yao looks down on him, so she will definitely not give him silver. That's why he called this cousin.

My cousin knows a little bit of pen and ink, and his small appearance is also white and tender.

It's a pity that I'm used to cowering, looking at the table that doesn't hit. But don't look at him like a cowering bear, he is used to pleasing women, and many widows and sisters-in-law in the village are willing to give him shoes and socks.

"Cousin, don't be angry, this time is really different from the past."

The cousin smiled slightly, and there was still a bit of handsomeness on display. Speak slowly and logically, and Aunt Yao is not good at yelling anymore, so she just muffled and said What is the difference, you say.

Yao Bin heard that there was a door! Sure enough, this trick is used well today, and this little white-faced cousin seems to be useful.

"My cousin has been in the house for a long time, and I can't help but know less about things outside. Now a new decree has been issued by the Imperial Court, which obliges all young ladies who have reached the age of fifteen to marry, and if they fail to do so, they must pay a large amount of taxes to the Imperial Court on a monthly basis......"

In the past, the imperial court set the age of marriage for women to be seventeen, but now it has been advanced by two years, and taxes have been increased.

The cousin told the story, and Aunt Yao was a little puzzled when she listened:

"What do the decrees of the imperial court have to do with your shop?"

Her two daughters, one thirteen and one eleven, are not yet old, but they are all nineteen this year.

In this way, if she is not married off quickly, her family will have to pay more taxes for her.

"Cousin, do you know how many women in our county are over fifteen who have not yet married? Even if there are not thousands, it will have to be more than a hundred. This decree was swift and urgent, and it caught people off guard. ”

Yao Yujie listened to her cousin's words and was silent in thought. The cousin said again:

"I'm afraid these women haven't even had time to embroider their wedding dresses, and the business of our shop is to make wedding clothes for them. If we do it well, not only these women, but even the women behind us may also ask us to do it......"

"Cousin, what about this business?"

Yao Yujie has been in charge of the housekeeper for more than ten years, and she is not brainless, and when she hears this, her eyes can't help but light up.

"How much silver do you need?"

Aunt Yao asked.

When Yao Bin heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and after thinking about it, he quickly went up and said:

"Two thousand...... Five thousand taels of silver! ”

"What? So much! Aunt Yao frowned.

Even if she sold her jewelry, she wouldn't be able to scrape together so much silver.

Yao Bin's eyes narrowed, and he said impatiently:

"My brother-in-law took 50,000 taels to marry the daughter of the Wang family, who in this county doesn't know that the family is rich and rich. Besides, the whole family is in your hands, and now you tell me that you can't even take out five thousand taels of silver, are we stupid? Anyway, it's not like you haven't done it before......"

"Shut up!"

Aunt Yao interrupted him anxiously, she used to secretly take out a hundred and eighty taels of silver from the public to subsidize her mother's family. But now it's different, Man Zhangzhi gave most of the family's silver to the Wang family, and the rest of Man Mingzhen used half of it to get married.

Next, Man Susu will marry into the Wang family according to the ruling of the matchmaker, and she has a lot of dealings with the wife of the Wang family.

In this way, there is not much left in the public school.

Aunt Yao frowned, and then she had a grudge against the old lady and Man Zhang's heart. And so they were, and where she and her two daughters were!

In addition, in the past few days, Man Zhangzhi didn't treat her as a human being at all, which made her heart cold and cold......

"Cousin, the silver in your hand is the silver."

The cousin suddenly approached her ear and whispered.

Aunt Yao's eyes flickered, she gritted her teeth and said:

"You go back first, I have my own way of dealing with the silver."
