Xiaoru was a little worried.

In the third month after getting married, when the breath of early winter had begun to permeate Yingtianfu, the family's treasury was ready, and Xiaoru finally took Meng Nier to sort out the accounts and re-record them according to her own habits...... Looking at the income and expenditure table on the table that she made by herself, Xiaoru suddenly felt a stomachache.

It was not a small amount of money, but it was only a few months, and there were some signs of making ends meet, but fortunately, the old man had accumulated a lot of money for him, so that he would not get to the point of lack of money.

Xiao Ru sighed, it's no wonder that Brother Xiao Lou, Brother Xiao Lou had no home to raise before, and the old man was very indulgent and pampered to the baby apprentice, don't look at the usual look like he is not picky, and he can endure hardships, in fact, the food is good, he follows the old man around on weekdays, spends public money, is used to spending lavishly, and never asks the price when buying things.

Now, suddenly there is a huge family, although the 'civil servants' of the Great Xia Dynasty are treated well, but they can't stand him to buy some jewelry for his daughter-in-law today, the so-called precious medicinal materials that are so expensive that they die, tomorrow to give the old lady a face, the day after tomorrow I have a fancy to what 'magic weapon', literary and antique, plus the family's expenses are not small, clothes to do, eat fresh and refreshing, girls, daughters-in-law, housekeepers, guards, a large group of people have to eat, take money, get rewards, not to mention, but also have to be favored, new Zhuangzi...... Xiaoru couldn't open a medical center to make money like in Wuchang for a while, so it was normal to make ends meet.

sighed, looking at the various objects rewarded by the saint, Xiaoru couldn't wait to sell all the useless things, but unfortunately, how can the things given by the emperor be sold, they can only be offered as decorations.

Xiao Ru pressed her eyebrows, thinking that she could discuss with Brother Xiaolou, there is no rule that women can't practice medicine in the Great Xia Dynasty, she opened a medical hall pharmacy or something in Beijing, how much can she earn some pocket money, and if she doesn't go to the 'operating table' all year round, it is estimated that it won't be long before she has to be rusty at hand, and her skills will be lost...... However, it's still a while, recently the old man has taken good care of Brother Xiaolou and Ding Feng, and used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries that he didn't allow them to leave the house for half a step.

"Young lady, the old lady please go over and palm your eyes, Renyazi has already brought people to Lanyuan, and the old lady is too noisy, so she won't go to see it." Monier walked in the door and put on a short leather cloak for Xiaoru.

Xiao Ru nodded, and took Meng Nier's hand to go out, even if the family's money was a little tight, the additional manpower should not be missing.

Now this newly built Zhuangzi, the periphery of the wall is built with high walls, red walls and green tiles, it looks a little simple, there is no luxury, except for the courtyard where Xiaoru and her mother-in-law live in the innermost, there are five other entrances, meandering and turning, all of which are quite in line with the geomorphological environment.

One into the entrance hall, kitchen and maid's room, make it relatively simple and clean, do not show the mountain dew, two into the guest room, the flower hall, built a courtyard called Orchid Garden, which is planted with ordinary flowers and trees, decorated with rockery and flowing water, although not precious, but vibrant, the environment is good. Sanjin is mainly a martial arts training ground, surrounded by four weapon racks, knives, guns and sticks, all available, the flat ground in the middle is planted with turf, usually Lou Yi morning practice is here. The fourth is a pet garden, where the kennel and cattery have been repaired, and obediently Duoduo and Xiaopan live here. Wujin is the medicine garden that Xiaoru values the most, but the greenhouse has not been built at this time, the land has not been cultivated, and everything is barren.

As for the main courtyard, it occupies the largest space in the entire Zhuangzi, separated by a cobblestone path and flowers and trees, the east is the residence of Mrs. Lou, and the west is Xiaoru's new house 'villa', and a very beautiful garden is built in the middle, and it is not named, but the lawn, stream, trees, rockeries, pavilions, the layout is very exquisite, Xiaoru also deliberately made a swing, of course, it is not her to play, usually Meng Nier and Xiaoyan take Fu'er to play.

Out of the back door, is the bamboo forest in the back mountain, also built a few small bamboo houses, is the place of small pan's hunting and leisure, this back door in the place is more remote, generally only the pets in the family go in and out of it, the people in the family are side door in and out.

When Xiao Ru walked all the way along the winding path to the Orchid Garden, Du Pozi had already brought more than a dozen, the older one was less than twenty, and the younger one was only seven or eight years old girl waiting.

This Du Pozi is a commonly used person in the National Teacher's Mansion, with an excellent reputation, and the people in his hands are also white, and they are trained to be very polite, Xiao Ru specially asked the housekeeper of the National Teacher's Mansion to find her, this time I chose the next person to see, if they are all good, Xiaoru thinks that if she wants to buy someone in the future, she can still find her, if this person is bullied, and everything unruly will go to their house, then you will find another person's tooth.

When we first met, although I didn't say anything, Xiaoru had a good impression of Du Pozi, although she always had a straight face, she knew the rules very well, and the people she brought were silent, there was no sound at all, and she stood honestly. As soon as Mrs. Du saw Xiaoru, she came over to greet her first, and only said: "The old woman, these girls are all daughters of good families, they are young and white, and they know the rules very well, but they won't have anything that has two hearts with the master, and the young lady can choose carefully." ”

Xiao Ru nodded, looked over one by one, and saw that the one standing in the front was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a pink old jacket, with clear eyebrows, although it seemed that he was also low-eyebrowed, very cautious, but his eyes revealed a shrewdness, like a person who wanted to be motivated, Xiao Ru thought about it, this is not suitable for resting around, however, you can stay and observe and observe, if you know the rules, when you open a pharmacy and medical hall, you can let her go out to take charge, after all, you are not suitable to show your head outside, anyway, if you sign the deed, you are not afraid of anything.

Du Pozi followed Xiaoru's line of sight and said softly: "That girl's name is Xiaoyu, her father is a land-level talent, she also knows a few words, and then her brother fell ill, in order to see his son's illness, her father sold his daughter, Xiaoyu still knows the rules, but this girl still has the idea of redemption." ”

Du Pozi didn't say much, but he made everything that should be explained clearly. Xiaoru nodded, it is normal to want to redeem herself, no girl is willing to be a slave for the rest of her life, as long as she is willing to be sensible and attentive, do well in the future, and have merit, let alone issue a deed of return, even if she is given a dowry, it is not impossible for her to marry in style.

Xiaoru then looked at it again, these people are really good, obviously all of them are carefully selected, and they can look at the past, there are not many Yeyan, most of them are dignified and delicate, and they chose a few more with clean bodies, clear eyebrows, and clear eyes.

"Okay, that's all, Moniel, take them to Steward Li to sign the deed, and then teach them the rules of the house."

With that Xiaoyu, Xiaoru picked a total of six girls, two of them were sent to serve her mother-in-law, two were young, only seven or eight years old, and followed Fu'er as a playmate, and one was the same as Xiaoyu, sixteen or seventeen, Xiaoru stayed by her side to be a girl, as for Xiaoyu, because she was literate, Xiaoru asked her to take care of her small study for the time being, of course, the big study that Lou Yi and Ding Feng often go to, she can't get involved, it's not that Xiaoru is worried about Lou Yi stealing fishy, No one really knows if there will be anything in his study that people can't see.

After choosing someone, and explaining that Du Pozi was worried about finding a few rough girls for herself, and her daughter-in-law, Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that she was becoming more and more suitable for the life of this era, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with buying and selling people, and the influence of the environment was really great.
