Chapter 4: The Taste of Money

When the housekeeper Li Zhong informed Murong Hua of the news of Murong Lan's departure, Murong Hua didn't say anything. only said: "Since it is the young lady in my house, it is natural that I should go out and get familiar with this capital." ”

When Li Zhong heard this, he said again: "Before the eldest lady went out, she also took two taels of silver from the old slave, saying that she wanted the old slave to go back and ask the master." ”

After saying this, Murong Hua smiled, followed by Li Zhong as well.

"This kid is thoughtful, but two taels of silver is too little!" Thinking that Murong Lan was from the countryside after all, Murong Hua was sad again.

"Actually, two taels of silver was already given by the old slave." Li Zhong explained quite distressedly: "The eldest lady only needs twenty wen, and the two taels are still the old slave who is afraid that it will not be enough to force it to her." ”

Murong Hua couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and only after a while did he say approvingly: "You did the right thing." ”

Lan'er is also his daughter anyway, what can you buy on the street for twenty yuan?

It's too shabby.

"That'...... Next time the eldest lady asks for it, the old slave will give her ten taels? Li Zhong asked tentatively.

Murong Hua shook his head: "No, go and tell the bookkeeper that I will give her one hundred and twenty taels every month in the future, and twenty taels will be exchanged for broken silver for her convenience." This month, when she comes back, she will also make up for it. ”

"This ......" Although Li Zhong wanted to agree, he still had to remind: "Big ...... The second lady's current money is only one hundred taels, and the third and fourth misses are both fifty taels, if it is ......"

Murong Hua interrupted him: "Just say that I said it, if anyone is dissatisfied, just come to me." ”

When Li Zhong heard this, he smiled reassuringly: "Yes!" The old slave will do it. ”

Murong Hua is also in a good mood when she sees this, it seems that Lan'er, this girl is still quite likable, maybe she can be in a better mood when she marries the third prince in the past, and live a few more days!

That child, she has suffered too much, if the sky has eyes, let her live a few more good days!

After praying in his heart, he went to the front hall to eat in a happy mood.

Now that Yun'er's matter is solved, Madame will definitely not bother him anymore, and the house will soon return to the comfortable and orderly state it used to be.

That's nice!

At this time, Murong Lan, who was walking happily on the street, didn't know what her cheap father thought, she was really just like she said, and went straight to the bun shop as soon as she went out.

She really hasn't eaten the buns in the capital, so it's not bad to try them now.

The result is a question......

Tut! The buns here actually cost five cents each.

Wuwen!

She can buy two for a penny in a rural town, okay?

But I heard that this one is the most famous bun shop in the capital, alas! Forget it, it's more expensive, and it won't cost her money anyway.

So she generously took out the twenty wen that Uncle Housekeeper gave her at the beginning, and bought four fragrant and hot meat buns very proudly.

However, these four buns were divided into two parts, and two of them were directly wrapped and kept to be taken back to honor her cheap father.

Wrapping the two buns that gave her cheap dad like babies, Murong Lan took a bite of one of the remaining two with anticipation.

"Hmm-" A mouthful of money smells like money.

Sure enough, the buns that are ten times more expensive are different, and every bite will be delicious in my heart...... A little bit!

said that after Murong Hua had breakfast, he didn't delay anymore and went out quickly.

It's not that he was in a hurry to go to court, but halfway through eating, he suddenly remembered that the eldest daughter from the country from the family didn't know what the rules were now, and if something happened outside, it would not be good to ruin the reputation of his prime minister's house.

So he had to go out and have a look before he went to court.

Li Zhong, as the housekeeper of the house, naturally understood his master's thoughts, and immediately hurried to follow.

I don't know if it's luck, just a short distance from the mansion, they met Murong Lan who was walking back, but it was different from going out alone in the morning, and when she came back, there were two more ...... behind her Girlish?

"Miss, are you back?" Without waiting for Murong Hua to speak, Li Zhong stepped forward and asked.

Who knew that Murong Lan ignored him, but ran forward quickly, and then pounced in front of Murong Hua suddenly.

"Daddy, see what I brought you back?" She said that she took out the two buns that she had bought at a high price, and handed them to Murong Hua like a baby.

Murong Hua was obviously stunned when he saw this, but he heard Murong Lan say: "The buns in the capital are really different!" I don't know how many times better it is than in the countryside, but it's more expensive......"

She smiled embarrassedly, but continued to hand the bun to Murong Hua's mouth: "Daddy, try it, it's delicious!" Meat filling. ”

When Murong Lan said this, there was a different look in her eyes, as if she was holding it in her hand at the moment was the most precious treasure in the world, and she was dedicating it to her most respected father with great expectations, and hoped to be praised by her father.

Seeing this, Murong Hua immediately cried and laughed.

As a prime minister, how could he ever put these two buns in his eyes?

It's just that in the end, he still couldn't bear to disappoint Murong Lan.

This daughter has been living abroad for many years, her mother is gone, and she has not had a good life, and she will be married to the Three Kings Mansion to be widowed soon, but she can still have this filial piety to herself, she is really a good child!

And although she has many daughters, none of them are as close to her as she is, and in the period before she got married, she had to be kind to whatever she said.

"Good boy!" Murong Hua took the bun and took a bite very moved. Even if he didn't know how much more delicious he ate for breakfast than this bun, he still said to Murong Lan against his will: "Lan'er's bun is really the best thing in the world that my father has ever eaten!" ”

Murong Lan didn't care whether he was sincere or fake, and immediately became cheerful when he heard the words.

"If Daddy likes it, it's fine!" She said unusually cheerfully and proudly and called the two girls behind her. "Daddy, look, my daughter has done a good deed today!"

Murong Lan said and rolled his eyes for a moment, and then followed up to explain: "These two are poor people!" In order to marry their brother and brother, the family wanted to sell them to the Qinglou, and the daughter saw that it was really pitiful, so she took it upon herself to buy them back. Daddy, you don't blame your daughter, do you? ”

Murong Lan asked seriously, but Murong Hua was in a hurry to go to the court, so he glanced at the housekeeper before he said softly: "Lan'er, Daddy still has something to do, you can just tell Li Zhong about these things." ”

"Hmm!" Murong Lan nodded obediently: "Daddy's business is important, Daddy will go and get busy first." ”

Murong Hua saw that although she didn't understand the rules of the capital, she was still sensible and filial, so she nodded, stuffed the leftover buns to the housekeeper, and went to the court very satisfied.
