"Oh, it's Xiao Gongzi Wu who is here." Wang was no stranger to Wu Wei, and asked with a smile, "How did you get here?" ”

"My sister asked someone to send me." Wu Wei generously stepped forward to greet Mrs. Yuan, "The old lady is fine." ”

The corners of Su's mouth turned up slightly.

Sister also, she heard Wu Mei scolding Wu Wei for being a little, and said that the Gu family knew how to pretend to be sick and pitiful.

In the final analysis, Wu Mei still disliked that Gu was born as a widow and climbed her father.

"Wu Xiaogongzi is polite." Old Lady Yuan smiled and waved at the two, "Let's play!" ”

"Mother, he wants to meet my third sister-in-law." Pei An looked at Wang.

Wang pointed outside: "Your third sister-in-law is in the backyard, go!" ”

The two jumped to the backyard.

The backyard built two ovens with green bricks, supported two large pots, the size Cai is responsible for washing the fruit, peeling and slicing, Ah Duo is busy blanching the water and making a fire on the side, and the pepper is holding chopsticks to dry the blanched dried fruit on the barbed wire, these dried fruits need to be dried in the water, and then wrapped in powdered sugar, and then put into the oven to dry, so that the roasted dried fruit is sweet and glutinous and easy to store.

Sister Xian and Fuwa stood on the shelf with relish and ate dried fruits.

Pei An pulled Wu Wei and shouted loudly to the third sister-in-law, and when Hua Jiao saw Wu Wei, she was a little surprised: "Brother Wei is here." ”

"Sister." Wu Wei stepped forward affectionately and held the hand of the peppercorn, "Sister, I have wanted to come to see you for a long time." ”

Pei An couldn't pull out his legs when he looked at the yellow dried fruits on the shelves, and squeezed around Sister Xian'er and Wu Wei to feast, and didn't forget to stuff a piece in Wu Wei's mouth, "Taste it, the dried fruits made by my third sister-in-law are delicious." ”

"Sister, I'll come!" Wu Wei chewed the dried fruit, looked at her big belly, stepped forward and took the chopsticks, "I will do it." ”

"No need, you're a guest, go eat dried fruit!" Hua Jiao smiled, continued to put dried fruits on the shelf, and chatted with Wu Wei by the way: "Why did you suddenly come to Yucheng?" ”

"My mother is sick, my father found a doctor for her, and she is doing acupuncture in Qingxian County, I came to see my mother, and my father asked me to live in the prefect's yamen." Wu Wei took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "Sister, don't worry, my mother is much better and can stand up and walk." ”

"What's wrong with her?" Pepper was taken aback, "Didn't you do it well before?" ”

She didn't care about Gu.

But when Gu looked for her before returning to his hometown, he was still in good health.

"When she was in her hometown, she accompanied her grandmother to the temple to incense in February, the carriage lost control and fell into the river, her mother pushed her grandmother ashore, but she didn't climb up, and when the coachman rescued her, she was soaked, and she was sick all the time when she came back, and she didn't get better after taking a lot of medicine. Wu Wei 1510 said, "My mother knows that you are also in Yucheng, so I don't want to disturb you, so I said that I will come to see you when I am ready." ”

"Is Qingxian far from here?" Pepper asked Ah Duo.

"It's not far, it's half an hour away from the city and it's Qingxian." Ah Duo is a local, such as a few family treasures, "They have a lot of medicinal fields over there, and our pharmacies here all go to Qingxian County to buy medicinal materials." ”

"Oh." Hua Jiao came to her senses and asked Wu Wei again, "Why did you go to see her?" ”

"I'll go see her tomorrow, and I'll go back to Wutong Town the day after tomorrow, and my mother won't let me delay my homework." Wu Wei looked at the belly of the pepper again, "Sister, are you going to give birth to a little doll?" ”

"Yes, the third sister-in-law has my little niece in her belly." Pei An said proudly, "When she is born, she will call me the fourth uncle." ”

His grandmother said that the little doll in the third sister-in-law's belly was a female baby.

He likes girls.

"What did you call me?" Wu Wei looked expectant, Pei An scratched his head, "Call your uncle?" ”

As he spoke, he asked Huajiao again: "Third sister-in-law, my little niece is calling him uncle, right?" ”

"Yes." Sichuan pepper.

"I'm an elder too!" Wu Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took out a piece of jade peisai from his waist and gave it to the peppercorns, and said with a smile, "I'm an uncle, and this is for my little niece as a gift." ”

"It's not a little niece, you should call it a little niece." Pei An corrected, "She is my little niece. ”

"To the little niece." Wu Wei smiled, Hua Jiao took the jade pendant and tied it back to him, "You are still young, you don't need to give a meeting gift, I will accept your mind for her." ”

Wu Wei had to give, Pei An stopped him and squeezed his eyes at him: "You don't have to worry, when you are born, let's give it together." ”

When the uncle's jade pendant.

If he was an uncle, he had to give him a decent one, but he didn't have it now.

Wu Wei didn't think much about it, so he gave up, and repeatedly instructed Pei An: "When she is born, you must tell me." ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you." Pei An promised like a little adult, "We are the elders of the people, and we are reliable." ”

Sichuan pepper couldn't help laughing.

After thinking about it, he asked Wu Wei again: "Is Lord Wu also in Qingxian?" ”

"No, it's Mother Xu who is with you, and Dad is in Tongcheng." Wu Wei turned his head to look at the pepper, "Sister, my mother said she was fine." ”

"Who will accompany you to Qingxian tomorrow?" Hua Jiao felt more and more that Wu Wei was a sensible child.

"I'll do it myself." Wu Wei said indifferently, "Sister Mei took me once, and I remembered the land, and besides, the little girl also knew the way." ”

"In this way, when you leave tomorrow, come here, and I'll let Ah Duo accompany you." Although Huajiao has never recognized Gu's, as soon as she heard that Gu's treatment in Qingxian County, her heart softened, she couldn't turn a blind eye after all, Wu Wei nodded again and again: "Okay." ”

Hua Jiao left Wu Wei to eat, wrapped him with a bag of dried fruits, and asked Xia Yu to send him back.

After Wu Wei left, she only felt a little disturbed, so she asked Ah Duo to wrap two bags of dried fruits and snacks, and took out two small yellow croakers from the small box in the wardrobe and wrapped them, ready to let Ah Duo bring them to Gu's family, she couldn't go to see her in person, but she couldn't ignore it.

After doing this, she was still a little uneasy, so she simply took a stack of account books to read, in fact, Mrs. Yuan also brought the account books of Mingxianglou and Lu Cai Restaurant this time, and she has not had time to read them in the past few days.

When she's in a good mood, she likes to look at the ledger.

When she's in a bad mood, she also likes to look at the ledger.

Pulling through the abacus and calculating the benefits can make her excited for a while.

I remember who said that if there is not a lot of love, there must be a lot of money.

Money is the only way to feel secure.

When she was good with Pei Ze before, she felt that men could also bring a sense of security.

But now she feels that men are unreliable.

Only the sense of security brought by silver is real, after all, silver will not lose memory, it is yours, it will always be yours.

Crackling and calculating, Huajiao carefully calculated the income of Mingxianglou and Lu Caiguan and the two Zhuangzi in the past few months, and was pleased to find that the income of the hot spring Zhuangzi was much higher than that of Mingxianglou and Lucaiguan.

The monthly net income of Mingxianglou is about 500 taels.

The road restaurant is second, around three hundred taels.

Although the hot spring Zhuangzi has not been open for a long time, the income of two months has reached 1,200 taels, which has exceeded the Mingxianglou, although the hot spring is the peak season at present, but as long as there is a festival in Liutai Temple, there will be no fewer people bathing, and she estimates that the more later, this income will double.

Earn 2,000 taels of silver every month, and the pepper is in a good mood.

This is not counting the income from Pei Ze's fish pond and Hu Xiaogang, she knows that Pei Ze's fish pond also makes a lot of money, but most of Pei Ze's people are dead-eyed, even if Pei Ze loses his memory, they will not hand over the account book to her.

Otherwise, this time we will bring the ledger together.

Really, they didn't have amnesia, so why didn't they believe her?

The only thing that is holding back is her other farm, judging from the accounts, it is now in a flat state, but doing business, if you don't make money, you will lose, she has to find a way to turn losses into profits, maybe she can build a dried fruit processing factory on that farm, train the people of Zhuangzi, and let them be responsible for processing dried fruits, because not every Zhuangzi has unique conditions, but the development of a side business can still be driven.

If the dried fruit sells well, then she must earn at least a thousand taels of silver a month.

If she earns 3,000 taels a month, then she is also a local tyrant.

Proper local tyrants!

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I didn't even notice when Pei Ze entered the house, Pei Ze saw her smirk in front of a stack of ledgers, and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?" ”

Only then did Sichuan pepper react and was startled: "You're back." ”

"Why are there so many ledgers?" Pei Ze frowned and asked.

He has never liked to read books.

I am even more reluctant to write and calculate, and blame the troublesome.

"This is sent from Wutong Town, and I just have time to take it out today to calculate." Huajiao said very proudly, "The income has been good in the past few months, and during the naval battle, although there were a little ups and downs, it was okay." ”

Pei Ze sighed and didn't ask again.

Seeing that he was like this again, Hua Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, who cares about your money?" ”

She had never seen him take care of the ledger anyway.

I didn't see Qiu Hu get the account book.

She was in charge of his money before.

Now, he is not familiar with her, and she is not good at coming up to take care of other people's money.

"No one cares, it's all in the warehouse!" Pei Ze took the kettle and made tea, and said lightly, "When you use it, Qiu Hu will go to the treasury to get it, he will remember how much he takes, and then take it when he runs out, I don't know how much silver there is in the warehouse." ”

Anyway, if you don't remember it, it's all in the treasury.

His silver and his money, including his rewards, are there.

Sichuan pepper: "......"

Oh, man!

I don't know how many things are piled up in the storeroom...... She heard Chen Yi say before that the emperor rewarded him with a lot of things!

"Why are you asking this?" Pei Ze looked at her.

"Don't do anything, just ask." Hua Jiao was a little speechless, but when she thought that the things given by the emperor were piled up in a mess on the side of the warehouse, she was a little uneasy, thought about it, and said tentatively: "Otherwise, I will help you keep the warehouse, you can rest assured, I promise to take care of it for you clearly." ”

"How can you help me take care of the warehouse?" Pei Ze's gaze fell on her stomach, don't look away, "Let's talk about it later!" ”

"You can't disbelieve me, do you?" Hua Jiao joked, "Don't worry, my monthly income is enough for me to spend, and I won't touch a penny in your treasury." ”

In fact, Pei Ze also gave her silver.

She doesn't go out, and she doesn't need it.

The expenses on the kitchen side were all received by Qiu Hu.

She didn't know how they calculated it, anyway, the accounts on the Zhennan Hou Mansion were not so clear.

"Not really." Pei Ze put down the tea bowl and stepped forward to flip through the account book, "The main reason is that it is inconvenient for you to help me take care of the treasury now, and I will take over after giving birth." ”

Ah Duo lifted the curtain and walked in: "Madam, the shopkeeper Tang is here, saying that there is something to discuss with you." ”

"Invite him to sit in the flower hall!" Sichuan pepper packed up the books.

"I'll take a look." Pei Ze took the lead and walked out.
