Chapter 171: The Begging Festival
After telling these things, Yu Wanning glanced at the incense he had wrapped again, bit his lip and smiled, and then saw that Mo Li was holding the account book bought in the house after entering the house, and looked through the candlestick that had just been lit.
Because Yu Wanning's schoolwork has been very busy recently, she handed over the accounts in the house to Mo Li, after all, Mo Li is a very loyal person and a very trusted maid of Yu Wanning.
It's just that today I saw Mo Li holding a ledger and looking over and over, looking at the back for a while, turning to the front for a while, and then turning to the back to look at it, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
"What's wrong, what's wrong with the account?"
Yu Wanning asked.
"It's okay, the money and goods are attached together, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Mo Li frowned, thought about it, and said, "It's just...... Looking at it today, the price of goods recently is a little more expensive than when you first took over the housework, although it is not a lot, but the expenses in the house are large, and it adds up to a large amount. ”
"Oh?"
Yu Wanning glanced at Mo Li in surprise and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Mo Li listened, and hurriedly got up and brought the account book over to Yu Wanning to see.
Yu Wanning's memory is better than that of Mo Li, and the accounts when she first took over the housework, she didn't look back at this time, and she also remembered them in her mind.
So I only looked at the accounts of the past two days, and found the problem, and sure enough, the things I bought recently are a little more expensive than before.
And there is a dividing line among them, that is, from himself to the Fu'an Eldest Princess's Mansion to study, he was too busy to hand over the account to Moli before he began to increase the price.
After that, every two days, it will rise slightly, although the increase each time is not large, but these days, there are a lot, plus as Mo Li said, the number of masters and servants in the house is quite large, and the expenses are huge, even if the price of everything only rises a little, but these many expenses add up, and it is not a small amount.
Although prices in the market often fluctuate, but the people's daily food and drink, but not only rise and fall, especially now that it is a peaceful year, although there are occasional natural disasters, but will not cause prices to rise too much.
What's more, judging from the books, the timing of this price increase is inevitably too coincidental.
However, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about at present, Yu Wanning raised his head, handed the account book to Mo Li, looked at the candlestick and thought about it and said: "It doesn't look like there is a big problem, you don't have to say anything, it just so happens that I am going out of the house tomorrow, there are some things, you can take a look outside, as for the price of vegetables, grains and rice, you can send someone to inquire outside, and then make a decision." ”
"Yes."
Mo Li answered, and he took the account wood and put it away.
Yu Wanning remembered something, and said, "Let the little guys in our own courtyard go, and we don't have to use people outside the courtyard." ”
"The slave and maid understand." Mo Li naturally knew that Yu Wanning didn't want to let Steward Xu find out too early, after all, if there was such a thing, if the price really rose outside, she sent someone out to investigate like this, so that Steward Xu knew, although he didn't dare to say anything as a house slave, but the feeling of being wronged was always uncomfortable.
So I only let the little guy in my yard go, after all, the little guy in the small yard of Begonia only obeys Yu Wanning's orders, and under Yu Wanning's stewardship, the subordinates of the Begonia small courtyard are very tight-mouthed, in case it is the fault of Steward Xu, it will not let this matter reach Steward Xu's ears, and it can avoid a lot of unnecessary turmoil.
After saying these things, Yu Wanning's mind went to the prescription that Dr. Qin prescribed to Yu Wanyao.
She got up and looked for a medical book on the bookshelf to read, and while reading, she carefully pondered Dr. Qin's prescription, and comprehended a lot of things for a while.
Yu Wanning is already studious, and she can have such a harvest today, and she is in a good mood for a while.
After bathing, he played a game of chess with himself before resting.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.
After Yu Wanning came back from the martial arts arena early in the morning, he took a careful bath, and then tried it back and forth for a long time before picking out a satisfactory outfit.
This tossed Snow Mirror and Mo Li enough, and it also surprised them both.
Because in their impression, although Yu Wanning has excellent taste, she has never been so picky about dressing and makeup.
This appearance is clearly the style of the second lady Yu Wanyao on weekdays.
What's going on?
Only Moli remembered that when she left the mansion of the eldest princess of Fu'an yesterday, Yu Wanning invited Ji Anchen to participate in today's Xiangqiao meeting.
For a while, I understood what the reason for Yu Wanning's abnormality today was.
But......
Mo Li looked at Yu Wanning, who was still carefully taking care of herself in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
What's the situation?
Miss is only an eight-year-old girl, how can she understand this?
Could it be that reading more books makes people's minds more enlightened earlier than ordinary people?
But it's not that early, is it?
Xue Jing saw that Mo Li's face was different, so he asked her what was wrong.
Mo Li is the most tight-mouthed person, so it is naturally impossible to talk to Xue Jing about such a thing, so he glared at her and said, "Why don't you go and collect all the clothes that are thrown everywhere, why are you talking so much?" ”
Snow Goggles: "......"
What's going on?
Originally, I wanted to have lunch in the room by myself, but I just thought that it was a holiday today, so Yu Wanning still went to the dining room to eat with Mrs. Yu.
After coming back, I cleaned up, took the Qiaoguo and halva sent by Rongxiang and went out.
In order to reassure Mrs. Yu, she picked a few capable family members and government soldiers when she went out.
Today's capital is very lively, so the carriage is going a little slowly, Yu Wanning is not in a hurry, leaning on the window and looking around.
Later, there were more and more people on the street, and the carriage couldn't pass, so Yu Wanning got out of the car and walked slowly.
Snow Goggles and Mo Li carefully guarded Yu Wanning's sides, for fear that more people would crowd or step on Yu Wanning.
However, they are rarely able to go out shopping, and after all, they are still girls, and they are very happy to have such an opportunity to travel, even if they take a few more steps, they will not feel tired.
The family who came out carried a food box and followed behind with two government soldiers.
"This mask is beautiful."
Yu Wanning was attracted by a stall buying masks on the street, so she went over to pick up a butterfly mask and look at it.
"There are peacocks, phoenixes, and all kinds of flower-shaped masks here, if the girl likes it, she can buy one." The peddler greeted him attentively.
"If you want to buy it, buy two more."
Yu Wanning picked up a peacock mask and put it on his face, then looked at Mo Li and Xue Jing and smiled: "You two also pick one." ”
"Huh? Do we want to wear it too? Xue Jing glanced at Yu Wanning in surprise.
