The afternoon sun was hot, and the ground was slightly hot.

The grass and trees in the courtyard were also a little unhappy in such weather, and they bent over lazily and curled up the flowers and leaves to hide from the annoying sun.

Li Yuqing got up, although he didn't fall asleep, the thoughts in his mind were clear and clear, and he was more awake than ever.

Bihe brought warm water and wet the veil and wringed it dry. She wiped her face, as if she had removed the dust and dirt, and it was much more refreshing.

She plans to take stock of the existing assets, and then see what kind of livelihood she can do - the idea can't be too outrageous, the kind that can't be too eye-catching for profit, and it's best to make a fortune in silence and hide it from everyone.

Clothing, jewelry, gold and silver, naked seeds, leaves, scattered silver and silver tickets, and some valuable ornaments, all of which had to be liquidated one by one.

Li Yuqing went to Mama Yang to get the key to the cash box early.

Bihe is mainly in charge of the clothes and ornaments in the house, and Green Ju is mainly in charge of jewelry needlework. The key to the cash box is in the hands of Mama Yang, and she has to ask her about all expenses in the house. Zimo is in charge of the chores in the house, and occasionally has to do some Li Yuqing's needlework, or cook busy.

There are too few people in the house, so it is inevitable to borrow from each other when doing things, and it is rare to have time when you are busy.

There is no kitchen in the house, and ordinary cooks cost one or two per month, and the price is too expensive to cost. It's usually the Zimo Yang Mama who is quite good at cooking, the green orange, and now she also adds herself, and several people take turns cooking.

Although this southern house is dilapidated, it occupies a lot of land, and it takes a lot of effort to tidy up and garden every month.

Weeds must be cleared, and in remote places where there are few people in the house, weeds always grow extraordinarily lush.

It's spring and summer, and snakes and insects are frequent, and if they are not cleaned up, those snakes and insects will hide in them, and there may be poisonous types in them, which is very dangerous.

When cleaning up, first take a long wooden stick and beat it into the grass to scare away the snakes and insects, so as not to be accidentally bitten by pulling the grass, which should be a portrayal of the word "beating the grass and startling the snake".

The flowers and trees planted in the yard should also be pruned and scattered, so that they can grow better and better.

Many fruit trees in each season also need to be pollinated by insects to increase yields, and the sweetness will be sweeter. In this way, the fruit does not need to spend money to buy it in the market for a year, and the part that cannot be eaten is sold on the street, and the rest is made into fruit and eaten in winter.

There is also a vegetable garden planted with seasonal vegetables, chickens and ducks raised around the fence, which are sold every month to subsidize the embroidery work of life, the sanitation and hot water in the whole house, and the daily life of Li Yuqing......

In short, there are a lot of things going on for everyone, and it is indeed time to buy a few people back.

——

After getting the key back, Li Yuqing opened the cash box.

The cash box is the dowry of the original owner's mother, made of precious agarwood, not too big, carved with intricate acacia patterns, embedded with a few opals.

This cash box should be worth a lot of money, Li Yuqing looked at it carefully and thought secretly.

There is a small mahogany box inside, specially wrapped in red cloth, and when it is opened, there are six silver tickets of one thousand taels and one silver ticket of five hundred taels, one thousand taels is the money that Mama Yang went to spin last time, and five hundred taels is the money given by Mama Qin next to her grandmother.

There are a few brocade bags scattered next to it, a dark brocade sprinkled with gold thread, containing two ten taels of silver treasures and four one or two broken silver, which is the annual example sent by the main house last time.

There are also two plain ones. One contained about eight taels of loose silver, and the other was littered with gold and silver naked seeds and gold leaves, only half a bag, according to the conversion of the Zhai Dynasty, it was worth about fifteen taels.

In addition to these, there is also a layer of copper coins at the bottom of the box, which is about 500 yuan.

This is really poor, if you don't count the money from selling tricks last time, the total value is not even fifty taels.

When the original mother came to Qingluo Town before, she brought a lot of wealth with her. Since Zhou Hui came here, the mother and daughter have not been in good health, so they spend a lot of money on seeking medical advice, and they have to constantly use supplements to nourish and nourish, which is another large amount of expenditure.

Up to now, not to mention the monthly firewood, rice, oil and salt, just the pen, ink and paper she spends every day costs half a dollar (50 Wen), and it is one or two or five dollars of silver in a month.

There are also tea snacks she uses, medicinal herbs to nourish the complexion, rouge eyebrows, bath salts, new clothes, etc., what Mama Yang prepared for her are of good quality, saying yes:

"Miss was born as a noble girl of the wang family, and she has been in this remote place since she was a child, if these fine things are all indiscriminately filled, don't you really want to be a wild girl in the countryside?" Zimo agrees very much, and is also reluctant to be wronged by the bloodline of the young lady who has accompanied her since childhood.

These alone are far more than the two months of her month, and Zimo and Green Mandarin have to work extremely hard to make embroidery to make up for the shortfall.

Li Yuqing doesn't want the group of people around her who care so much about her to work so hard, it seems that buying people and making a living should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
