Chapter 3: The Silver Opens the Way (I)
Yang Yu, the eunuch who lifted food, looked like he was the same age as Su Yu, and he looked white and thin—well, in her house, everyone was thin, as if she couldn't eat enough all year round. Especially she, the noble little master, is the thinnest in the whole house, like a layer of skin wrapped on the skeleton shelf, and she feels terrifying when she looks at it. Such a body rests in modern times, and it is properly suspected of being anorexic.
However, she was not anorexic at all, she was very hungry and hungry this time, and when she smelled the smell of food coming from the food box that Yang Yu was carrying, she couldn't wait to pounce on it.
Su Yu and Nong Yun had already set up a dining table in front of the bed, obviously considering that Yao Jiaxin's current body was not suitable for getting out of bed.
Breakfast was not bad.
A plate of white flour, four white and clean, all fist-sized, a bowl of white porridge that is not good-looking but still warm, with a plate of crispy pickled cucumbers and three plates of hot dishes - stewed tofu, radish stewed cabbage and soy sauce steamed pork, there are meat and vegetarian, but it's a pity that these hot dishes don't look good, stewed tofu doesn't even put green onions and coriander, a piece of clear soup and little water, radish stewed cabbage is stewed a little overdone, which reminds Yao Jiaxin of the cafeteria rice in high school, comparable to pig food, as for the only meat dish - soy sauce steamed pork, it seems that there is too much soy sauce, It's dark, like a dark dish.
Yao Jiaxin also knew that she couldn't be picky at this time, and she was hungry and panicked, so she picked up the white porridge that night, and used some of the only crisp pickled cucumbers that looked pretty good.
Yao Jiaxin ate very slowly and gently, Rao was like this, and soon her stomach was slightly swollen, and she drank a big bowl of white porridge, and only ate one white flour dumpling. The amount of food is really ......
Yao Jiaxin sighed and put down her chopsticks, this body still has to take her time, and she can't be in a hurry. She glanced at the two palace maids and the two eunuchs beside her, and during his meal, they were all extremely quiet, but the eunuch Xiao Liuzi was too young, and her eyes kept glancing at the plate of black soy sauce steamed pork.
Yao Jiaxin felt pity, these four people followed her, a sick nobleman who was not favored, but she was afraid that life would not be easy, and she looked thin one by one......
Then he said, "You can take the rest and eat it." ”
"Thank you, little master!" All of them were full of joy, especially the young little willow and thick clouds, smiling as if they were celebrating the New Year.
After withdrawing the meal, Su Yu stepped forward to bless him, and reported in a low voice: "Little master, you have run out of money this month......
Yao Jiaxin was stunned.
Su Yu hurriedly explained where the silver went, a five-grade nobleman's annual silver is one hundred and twenty taels, that is to say, twenty taels per month.
Before Yao Guiren's birthday, he used up ten taels of silver at once, set up two small tables, and invited Guo Guiren of the same grade and a few Chang Zai to agree, although he also received some gifts, but obviously it could not be sold.
After his birthday, Yao Jiaxin fell ill, and the main seat invited Imperial Doctor Zhou to see him, and he was rewarded with silver, but he was shy in his pocket, so he only gave two taels - I am afraid that it is precisely because he gave too little, so the surname Zhou did not give a good treatment.
Next, Yao Guiren lingered on the sick bed for more than half a month, Su Yu had to take another five taels of silver, and found his distant cousin, the second-class palace maid Chalcedony who had a good face next to Concubine Mao, and said good things in front of Concubine Mao, before inviting Imperial Doctor Zhou again and changing it to a new medicine. This time, Su Yu stuffed the only three taels of silver left in his hand to Imperial Doctor Zhou.
Su Yu said in a low voice: "Since the noble man is in good condition, he must not give Imperial Doctor Zhou another reward." But she had no money left.
Although Yao Jiaxin was very displeased with this Imperial Doctor Zhou, she also knew that with her being a sick and weak nobleman who was not favored, she obviously couldn't afford to be guilty. But where is ...... "my" private money?
Yao Jiaxin looked at her nose and nose, and saw Su Yu looking at the small box in the bed, and the box was locked, so she knew it, so she ordered: "I remember that the key is on the ......."
Su Yu hurriedly said: "The slave will go and get it." She walked quickly to the dresser, opened the second drawer, and took out the mahogany box inside, there was a key in the box, she took it and quickly handed it to Yao Jiaxin, and picked up the private box inside, gently rested it on Yao Jiaxin's hand, and then lowered her head and stood aside, not looking at it at a glance.
Yao Jiaxin took a deep breath and opened the inconspicuous little box.
Sure enough, the stuff in it wasn't very remarkable.
The first layer of the box is some bills, there are seven or eight delicate pen ingots Ruyi silver bills, all of which are five taels, as well as two silver ingots of ten taels, a few pieces of broken silver horns, more than a dozen gold melon seeds, and the second layer is a silver ticket, a denomination of one hundred taels, and a few small silver bills, and a pair of jade bracelets that are not in good condition.
This small box of property, that is, the pair of bracelets, was still worth a lot, and the total of gold and silver did not exceed three hundred taels.
This net worth...... It's really shabby.
However, Yao Jiaxin didn't know that the original owner Yao Guiren could have so much private money, and he really saved it by saving money, and now it is not in the palace, when he arrives in the palace, the expenses everywhere are huge, and in the past two years, Yao Guiren's private house has shrunk a lot.
Yao Jiaxin knew that if she wanted to take care of this body, the most important thing she couldn't be stingy with was silver, so she talked about all the silver bills, silver ingots, broken silver horns and the dozen or so golden melon seeds on the first layer for Su Yu, and said: "Imperial Doctor Zhou will seal ten taels of silver as a thank you gift, and there is also a good meal in the dining room, I want to eat something warm and make them stew an old mother**." ”
Su Yu smiled and said, "Yes, the slave will go to Zhang Luo." ”
In fact, with the use of nobles, it is also quite abundant, just in terms of ingredients, six catties of pork every day, one liter of japonica rice, two catties of white flour, two catties of sugar, one catty of tofu, six catties of fresh vegetables, and fifteen plates of mutton, eight chickens and ducks every month - not eight respectively, but a total of eight chickens and ducks, to eat that kind of choice.
Therefore, Yao Jiaxin's request to stew an old hen is a reasonable request.
But—look at the breakfast before, and you know what the food would be like if you didn't seal the dining room with silver.
With "her" today's furniture, I'm afraid she won't be able to resist for too long.
However, Yao Jiaxin is not worried at all, because the amount of storage in her mustard seed space is really amazing—but most of them are cosmetics, bags, clothes and other things, which obviously can't be taken out. But there are also some that can be used, such as some gold and silver jewelry...... Yao Jiaxin found that the fineness of silver is inseparable from 925 silver, and the golden melon seeds, which are golden and golden, are almost inseparable from the appearance of thousands of gold, which really can't underestimate the refining level of the ancients.
It's just that the thousand-foot silver can't be used, and the silver of this era is not so silvery.
In addition to gold and silver, Yao Jiaxin also needs to sort out and consider the things that can be used, after all, her mustard seed space is too big and too big, and she herself is only hoarding rats, so she has hoarded a lot of useful and useless messy things.
After sending away the rain, Yao Jiaxin left the tent, came out of the mustard seed space with a big-name mask, first put a patch on his thirsty old face, and then chose a set of cosmetics with excellent effectiveness and a very capricious price, with a bottle of anti-aging essence, and wiped his face, neck and hands.
In the end, I made up for it beautifully.
