It turned out that Lord Yang's family was quite solid in his early years, and he also studied for a few years, but later because of an accident, his family fell, he gave up studying to learn carpenter, probably because he had studied for a few years, or it may be that he was highly talented.

Correspondingly, Mrs. Yang's background is not high, but after entering Beijing, she is also aware of the gap between her family and begins to send her children to school, even girls are no exception, so Yang Yi also followed the literacy and learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after all, she is the eldest in the family, and she knows that her mother has a lot of discomfort after entering the city, so she has to help her mother take care of housework and deal with the relationship in the field.

Especially in the past two years, my father's official position has become bigger and bigger, and the emperor will give some rewards or something from time to time, so the life of the Yang family is getting better, and the circle of communication is getting bigger and bigger, so Yang Yi is even busier, because she has one more thing, and she has to accompany her mother to various parties and the exchange of courtesies between various official wives, correspondingly, her knowledge and bearing have also increased.

No, Mrs. Lu also realized this, and before Yan Yan could speak, her face was full of smiles, "Come on, it's hard for you to come to see my eldest grandson and daughter-in-law on a hot day, this is what you made?" Tsk, that's a lot of ingenuity. ”

Seeing this, Yan Yan pulled the corners of her mouth, but it happened to fall in Yang Yi's eyes, the little girl couldn't help but smile, after laughing, probably because she was afraid that Yan Yan would be embarrassed, the little girl quickly said: "Old Madam Lu is in love, stupid people like us don't dare to get an axe in front of the county lord of Baihui." ”

"Each has its own good, my eldest granddaughter-in-law said, everyone has something she is good at, don't be presumptuous, come, let me see, how did you solve this problem?" The old lady's words were also in a hurry.

Yang Yi looked at Yan Yan when he heard this, and saw that Yan Yan neither nodded nor shook his head, so he smiled and said, "Old lady Huilu, this thing can only be demonstrated on the loom, I can only talk about it roughly." ”

Then, Yang Yi took things from Qingxiu's hand, inserted these bamboo strips into the sword holster one by one, and then said that he wanted to put this sword holster on the weft, and finally pulled out the bamboo strips from the end of the opening, so that there was a layer of velvet on the fabric.

said yes, but because the old lady Lu and Yan Yan didn't know how to weave, they couldn't understand what Yang Yi was saying.

"That's it, sit down and drink herbal tea and eat some watermelon, and I'll let someone take you to the weaving room in a while, there is a weaver girl there." Yan Yan said.

Coincidentally, at this time, Qingmai brought two cups of tea, and Yan Yan ordered them to fetch some watermelons and peaches, and on the other side, Mrs. Lu had already invited Yang Yi to sit beside her, but Yang Yi didn't dare to exceed the rules, only sat on the edge of the kang with half of her buttocks sideways, and Mrs. Lu nodded secretly when she saw it.

Seeing this, Yan Yan had to invite Mrs. Yang to sit on his side, seeing that she was still a little embarrassed, Yan Yan took a piece of watermelon and put it in the other party's hand, "Come, my wife have a good taste, this is the melon grown in my Zhuangzi, see if it's sweet?" ”

"Master?" This title also surprised Yang Yi.

"It's not my wife, Lord Yang is not only my husband's master, but also my master, Lord Yang has helped us a lot." Yan Yan explained.

"But I heard that you helped him a lot, and my husband said that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't be where he is today." Mrs. Yang still said stiffly, holding a slice of watermelon in her right hand and pinching the hem of her skirt with her left hand.

"It's the same, if he didn't help us, we wouldn't be where we are today, this is called mutual benefit. It's great that everyone helps each other and improves together. Come on, eat something cool, it's weirdly hot this day, I don't dare to put ice cubes, so I have to grieve you to warm it together. Yan Yan said.

This month, she really sat miserable, it was the hottest two months, and she couldn't put ice cubes in the house, and she couldn't take a shower or lie on the mat, not to mention how hard it was.

But there is also a little benefit, every day sweating endlessly, Yan Yan's figure is not too out of shape, fortunately, there is no mirror of the whole body in this time and space, Lu You repeatedly told the people around Yan Yan not to mention the word fat, and she was confused.

"Fortunately, back to the county lord, we don't need ice cubes at home." After saying that, Mrs. Yang probably realized that this was not right, and lowered her head again.

Yan Yan also knew that a piece of ice cubes about one foot and a half square and two inches thick would be sold for two or three yuan, and a piece of such ice would melt in such a large room at most, and in the hottest time in previous years, Yan Yan would use three ice cubes a day.

For this reason, there is a special ice tariff and a charcoal tariff in the salary of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is said that before the appearance of money tickets and silver tickets, they were directly distributed in kind, and later after the appearance of money tickets and silver tickets, they were directly issued in the form of Yulu, other Yan Yan did not know, but she knew that Lu You had 300 ice taels every year, and the charcoal taels had not been received, and it was said that it was 200 yuan.

And Lu You is the hereditary Pingyan Marquis, whose annual salary is only under the fourth duke, with 6,000 guan and 10,000 acres of private land, so the treatment is indeed many times better than these civil officials who only take the salary.

So this is also the reason why after the money and silver bills came out, the ice and charcoal were directly added to the money, because most families still use this money to improve their lives.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Yan heard Mrs. Yang's words, he guessed that this was also the meaning, so as not to embarrass the other party, he hurriedly smiled: "It doesn't hurt if you don't use it, it's good to get used to it, I, after this year, maybe I won't need it next year, my grandmother doesn't use it much, and her old man also said that she didn't like it, saying that she was afraid of the cold entering the body." ”

"But no, this person only knows when he is old, he should take good care of it when he is young, don't wait until he is older to quit this and that, it's not good, I tell you, I'm a person, I'm a little uncomfortable when the season changes, I'll get sick, and I'm not bothering my eldest granddaughter-in-law." Old Lady Lu cleverly agreed.

The more she looks at Yang Yi, the more pleasing she is, although she is from a lower background, she is clear in her words and actions, and Mrs. Yang's restraint and childishness and loneliness will also become an advantage in the eyes of the old lady, because such people are easy to fool.

Other old ladies don't know, but she knows that Yan Yan once gave the other party a Zhuangzi because of the threshing machine, but the Zhuangzi is only worth five or six thousand yuan, but Yan Yan's threshing machine was sold for more than 200,000 yuan, what does this mean?

The good thing is that the Yang family is not greedy, but it doesn't sound good, the Yang family is stupid, and they will be content if they give a little sweetness.
