Sun was quite smart, and she didn't say that they bought a few hundred taels of silver, but said that Tian Mai refused to buy clothes for them, so that they were still wearing the tattered clothes they brought at home.

Zhao Darong glanced at Sun, he didn't believe what Sun said, he didn't know her as a person, how could he be like what she said?

"Dani, tell me, what's going on?"

Dani was afraid of waking up Tian Mai, so she lowered her voice slightly and quickly said the matter.

After listening, Zhao Darong looked at the Sun family and smiled bitterly, "What the lady said is right, my salary is not high, and all the expenses of the general's mansion are spent on the silver earned by the lady, speaking of which, I still rely on her to raise it." ”

He married a good lady, supported him very much, and even helped him.

He was both moved and a little guilty in his heart, feeling that not only did he not let her live a good life, but also spent the money she earned.

Although it was also handed over to her for the spoils of victory, those things could not be taken out for cash, so they could only be used as family heirlooms.

Thinking about it, I still feel a little sorry for her.

Sun's brows furrowed tightly, and his mouth moved, "Aren't you a general?" How could there be so little? ”

She was a little unconvinced, thinking that Zhao Darong and his wife had teamed up to deceive her.

In her heart, she felt that the general was a very big official who could eat and drink spicy food.

is like the county magistrate in the county seat, the official position is not as big as the general, and the people are not well fed and dressed?

"The general is just a good name, but he is not high." Zhao Darong sighed, knowing that Sun didn't believe what he said, "If you don't believe it, you can go outside and inquire." ”

Otherwise, she thought that she had a lot of silver at home, and she bought large bags and small bags.

He went out for hundreds of taels of silver at once, and his wife had never spent so much silver at one time.

They're big spenders.

If they give it themselves, he won't say anything, anyway, it's their silver, and they can buy it as much as they like, but they are filling their heads, and they don't have any money to give, so they ask others to send it to the door and ask his wife for silver.

Do they really think that her lady is a gold mine? There is a constant flow of silver, and you can spend it however you want.

Sun looked at Zhao Darong seriously, seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, and snorted unhappily, "Can't you always watch us wear shabby clothes?" If this is known by others, they will not laugh at you and think that you are not filial. ”

"Didn't the lady say it? I've made an appointment with someone to come and make clothes for you tomorrow. Zhao Darong didn't take Sun's words to heart, and replied to her with the same face, "Is there more, the silver for the two sets of clothes can still be afforded." ”

Sun couldn't tell him, shook his hand vigorously, and said that she was waiting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhao Darong shook his head helplessly, went into the room, and took a look at Tian Mai to see if he had woken up?

As soon as he entered, he saw Tian Mai sitting at the head of the bed, looking at him with a smile.

"Your mother is gone?" She was woken up by his mother's loud voice, and she didn't bother to go out after waking up, so she left it to him to solve.

She has a big belly, and she really doesn't want to climb these things with the Sun family, so as to save her annoyance.

Zhao Darong can solve the best.

"Gone." Zhao Darong sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and then reached out and touched her big belly, "Is the child obedient?" Did it bother you? ”

Speaking of the child, Tian Mai's face showed a smile and gently touched his stomach, "Fortunately, he is quite well-behaved and doesn't make much trouble." ”

Zhao Darong touched it lightly twice, and said to the belly: "Baby, you have to be obedient, don't make trouble with your mother, your mother is very hard to conceive you, you know?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a kick in his palm, and he grinned with joy.

Looking up at Tian Mai, the child heard what he said and answered him.

Tian Mai also laughed and said stupid.

Zhao Darong lowered his head, leaned his ears on her big belly, and whispered to the baby.

Tian Mai raised his hand and gently touched his hair, and the family of three enjoyed a warm atmosphere.

The next moment, it was ruined by the voices of the two little guys.

"Dad, mother......"

"The two little ones are back, presumably hungry, and run back to eat."

Normally, the two little guys are nowhere to be seen, and if you want to find them, you have to turn the General's Mansion over to find them.

She didn't restrain them, and let them run all over the general's mansion.

Anyway, in her own home, with the secret guard and the maid by her side, she was very relieved.

Zhao Darong stood up, took her shoes, put them on her, and helped her to wash.

When they went out to the outer room, the servants had already brought the food, Tian Mai looked at the two little guys and asked them if they had washed their hands?

The two little ones obediently ran to wash their hands, and then ran out again, gathered around Tian Mai, and chatted with her.

Tian Mai touched their little heads separately and asked them why they didn't eat with their grandfather?

"Grandma's, I'm in a bad mood, I can't make her angry, I don't want to eat with her." Xiao Baozi climbed onto the chair and sat down, and answered Tian Mai's words in a clear manner.

Yuanyuan swayed his little short legs, and also muttered that grandma was bad, and aunt was bad.

She didn't like her grandmother, and she didn't like her aunt.

Tian Mai gently pinched her little nose, "Don't say these things outside, and don't say them in front of your grandma and aunt, you know?" ”

She is not a person who holds virtue with resentment, and she will not say good things for the Sun mother and daughter in front of the two little guys, and of course, she will not say bad things about them.

The two little ones have their own judgment and know who is good and who is bad.

She only guided them not to say it in front of the parties, so as not to anger them, and not to say it outside, so that others could chew their tongues behind their backs.

Yuanyuan nodded her little head obediently, saying that she knew and wouldn't talk nonsense outside.

She just told her brother and her father, and she didn't tell anyone else.

Tian Mai praised her a few words without hesitation, and praised the little bun a few words before starting to eat.

After the family finished eating warmly, they played with the two little ones for half an hour before sending them back to wash and sleep.

The next day, the embroidery lady of the store came to the door with the fabric.

After Tian Mai saw it, he asked people to call the Sun family over and measure the size of the embroidery girl.

After the Sun family arrived, Tian Mai pointed to the fabric on the table and asked them to choose the color by themselves.

Zhao Wuniu's eyes rolled, and she asked Tian Mai with a smile, how many clothes can they make?

"For the time being, make two bodies first, it will soon be winter here, and then make cotton clothes,"

"Sister-in-law, there are too few bodies, right? At least four bodies, right? ”

Tian Wheat was unmoved, and blocked the words back without being soft or hard, "You can also make four bodies if you want to." Before Zhao Wuniu could be happy, she was beaten back to her original form by Tian Mai's words, "For the other two bodies, you can just pay the money yourself." ”

She snorted coldly, saying that if she had money, would she still use it to beg her?

She just didn't have any money, so she begged so lowly.

It would be nice if she had her own money, she could buy whatever she wanted, she didn't have to look at people's faces, and she made her own decisions.

"Wu Niu, it's not that I don't want to make two clothes for you, but I really can't help it, you also know that your eldest brother's income is not high, and the expenses of the General's Mansion are large, how can you be willful?"

Tian Mai sighed loudly, his face full of helplessness, "The border is fast in winter, as soon as winter begins, all the people up and down the general's mansion have to make cotton clothes, this is another large amount of silver, have you thought about it?" Wait until next time you have a little looser on hand, and then I'll give you two more bodies, okay? ”

The embroidery girl who was standing on the side heard the conversation between Tian Mai and Zhao Wuniu, and muttered in her heart, it turned out that the rumors outside were estimated to be true.

Yesterday, the general's wife returned all the jewelry and clothes sent to the door, and told the person who came clearly that she had no money to pay, and the general's mansion was too poor.

Zhao Wuniu rolled her eyes and said that she didn't know if she would wait until next time.

If you want to do it, do it now, don't wait for next time.

Tian Mai sighed again, and turned to look at the embroidery girl, "You ask Qu Niangzi, after I came here, I can count the clothes I have made on ten fingers." ”

There was no way, she had to take advantage of the embroidery girl and let her spread the word, "I am also a woman, I also love beauty, and I also like to wear new clothes, but what can I do if my family is poor?" I've spent so much money making clothes, do other people still need to eat? Yes? ”

Although the General's Mansion has not yet reached that point, she is really frugal after receiving the order from the imperial court.

In order to use the saved money to buy beef and mutton, use it to make beef jerky and mutton jerky, so that the soldiers can eat better, so that they can have the strength to protect the country.

"It's true, the general's wife is very frugal and rarely makes new clothes." Xiuniang nodded vigorously, proving that what Tian Mai said was true.

She really has never seen such a thrifty general's wife, and the wives of other families often come to her to make clothes, and there are very few generals' wives.

"She won't do it with you, won't she do it at someone else's house? She won't tell you if she does. Zhao Wuniu didn't believe it.

Tian Mai turned his eyes to look at her, and said that this place is so big, and there are only so many shops, she can go and inquire, has she made clothes in other stores?

"That's enough, Wuniu, if you don't like it, don't do it all." Zhao Tiesheng glared at Zhao Wuniu fiercely, what was going on with her? With outsiders present, how can you quarrel with your sister-in-law?

Aren't you afraid that you will ruin your reputation and not be able to get married?

"Old family, Wu Niu can't talk more than her brain, don't take her words to heart."

Tian Mai smiled, no longer paid attention to Zhao Wuniu, raised her hand to the embroiderer, and asked her to measure Zhao Tiesheng's size and make the clothes as soon as possible.

Zhao Tiesheng smiled and said that he has a lot of clothes, and it is enough to make one, not two.

He can wear old clothes at home and new ones when he goes out, and one is enough.
