The maiden niece of the second lady Duan, Duan Wenxin.

In her previous life, Lu Jiayue had a private relationship with Qu Rong and secretly decided to live her life, but she didn't know that Qu Rong's cousin was in love with Qu Rong just like her.

It's a pity that neither of them married Qu Rong, and before Qu Rong married someone else, Duan Wenxin was called by the second lady Duan and married as a concubine.

Now that I think about it, since Duan Wenxin is staying by Duan's side, how can Qu Rong not know her intentions, she must just turn a blind eye. Duan Wenxin still imagined that her aunt Duan would make decisions for her, fulfilling her infatuation with Qu Rong.

The winter breeze was cool, and Duan Wenxin let out a faint sigh, which was almost inaudible.

Lu Jiayue didn't know why, and suddenly felt that Duan Wenxin was a little pitiful.

So he whispered to Qu Ying: "Sister, let's not go over, otherwise she will be suspicious that we will listen to all those words." ”

"That's right, why make her embarrassed," Qu Ying looked at the pavilion, Duan Wenxin's master and servant were relatively speechless, and they didn't notice that there was someone nearby, so they pointed to the other side, there was a lotus pond over there, and there were a lot of koi fish, let's go and take a look. ”

Lu Jiayue nodded, and the two left quietly.

Come to the lotus pond, there is no lotus leaf lotus in this season, only a pool of clear water, clear to the bottom, dozens of koi fish of different colors dangling fish tails in the water leisurely.

After two or three days, the monthly money was distributed in the inner courtyard, and Juxiang went to Zheng Wang's house to get it back and handed it to Xin Zhu.

Xin Zhu nodded, a total of eleven, two, eight hundred dollars.

Lu Jiayue was quite surprised: "Why are there so many?" ”

She knows that Orange Xiangyu Xiang is a second-class maid with a monthly money of 800 Wen, and Ying'er Yan'er, who spreads the curtain and communicates, is a third-class maid with a monthly money of 600 Wen. The four of them were originally from the long house, and they used to serve in the Meng family's house, but now they were just transferred by the Meng family to serve her, and they changed rooms to work as errands, but the monthly money every month was still received in the Meng family's house.

Even if it is calculated, only the two newly purchased little maids who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping and the two rough mothers-in-law should receive monthly money in her house, but each person is only 400 wen of monthly money, which should add up to 12600 wen, where is the extra ten taels?

Xin Zhu explained: "The two little maids and the two mothers-in-law each received 400 wen, a total of 12600 wen. The remaining ten taels and two hundred wen, according to Juxiang, was given by Mrs. Zheng in accordance with the wishes of the fourth lady, of which eight taels were given to the young lady according to the monthly example of the three young ladies in the house, and it was also given to the young lady, and I was also the same as Sister Chunxia next to the eldest lady, I could get one tael, and one or two two hundred wen, which was given to Xiaoshun Xiaocheng, and according to the rules of this house, the little girl was six hundred wen per person per month. ”

When Lu Jiayue heard this, she was even more surprised.

In her previous life, she lived in the Qu family for three years, and she never received half a penny of monthly silver, but when she first came here in this life, she not only received eight taels of monthly money like the three young ladies of the Qu family, but even Xin Zhu and the two little girls around her also had monthly money to receive.

Is it because I got a few words of praise from Mrs. Qu a few days ago?

Sure enough, everyone in the Qu family acted according to the attitude and face of Mrs. Qu, although the fourth lady was in charge, she was not exempt from vulgarity.

Looking at the silver in front of her, Lu Jiayue was flattered, and after a turn of thought, she had an idea.

So he instructed Xin Zhu: "You pick out three, two, two or two hundred texts and send them to the two little maids and two mothers-in-law." ”

Xin Zhu smiled: "Miss, didn't you miscalculate? The four of them only need one, two, or six hundred wen. ”

Lu Jiayue smiled indifferently: "I see that they are also diligent in their work on weekdays, so what's the harm in giving a double monthly payment?" He added, "There are also orange and grapefruit, Ying'er Yan'er, the four of them were originally from my aunt's house, and I shouldn't treat them lightly." Although they all receive monthly money in their aunt's house, let's add another one to them here. ”

Xin Zhu never thought that Lu Jiayue would arrange it like this, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's okay, they should be more careful in doing things in the future." ”

Lu Jiayue thought for a while, and said: "Calculate the remaining five taels and eight hundred yuan, two taels for the embroidery room, three taels for the small kitchen, and eight hundred yuan, just give it to Aunt Liu." ”

Xin Zhu became more and more stunned, "Miss, after all, these eight taels of monthly silver are the kindness of the fourth lady, you don't even leave a penny, do you have to give it all away?" ”

Lu Jiayue sighed softly and said, "Think about it, how much trouble I have caused to my family these days?" It is also to ask for medical treatment, and it is to let the embroidery room tailor clothes, not to mention the daily meals prepared in the kitchen. We are now under the fence, and there is nothing to repay, how can we still ask for other people's money? As he spoke, he flicked the silver on the table, "The silver on the left and right is originally from the Qu family officials, and I just use it to make a favor to push the boat, not to mention, I don't lack silver to spend, right?" ”

Xin Zhu is also a smart and clever person, and when she heard Lu Jiayue say this, she also understood, "It's still Miss who thinks about it thoroughly, so that the maids and servants in this Qu Mansion will be like a god to Miss, and they can also let people up and down know that our Miss is not from a poor family, so she won't put a little money in her eyes." ”

Lu Jiayue nodded, "That's right." After that, when you receive the monthly amount of money, you can just send it according to what I just said. After a pause, he smiled again, "You have been following me for several years, and the last time the moon silver rose was two years ago, and now it will be doubled for you, and Xiaoshun Xiaocheng can't leave him alone, and double it for each." We are all our own people, what is not negotiable? If you take care of others, you can't treat yourself badly. ”

To receive double the monthly money, Xin Zhu was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed to Lu Jiayue to thank him.

Lu Jiayue hurriedly grabbed her and winked at her, "Don't be busy kowtowing first, you are two years older than me, I remember, I will give you a rich and decent dowry, and I will get your gratitude in the future." ”

Xin Zhudeng's face turned red and said angrily: "Miss has actually learned to make fun of people." ”

Lu Jiayue said with a smile: "Naughty smile is naughty, although I didn't leave a penny of silver this month, but the favor of the fourth lady still has to be returned," thought slightly, "In this way, you can pick out two old colored ones from the Su satin brought by Jiangnan, and then attach a box of Longjing before the rain, let the orange fragrance send to the upper room of the old lady Qu, and then pick two brightly colored horses, attach a set of four treasures of the study, and let the grapefruit fragrance send to the fourth room." Although these things are not worth much silver, they can be regarded as a slight expression of our reciprocal respect. ”

The old-colored satin and the dragon well before the rain were naturally given to Mrs. Qu, and the brightly colored satin and the four treasures of the study were given to a pair of children of the fourth lady Fang's family, Qu Wei, the third lady of the Qu family, and Qu Hua, the fifth young master.

Lu Jiayue remembered that the third lady Qu Wei liked to wear brightly colored clothes the most, and Qu Hua was only eight or nine years old at this time, and she was inviting her husband to teach her homework at home, and the four treasures of the study, which happened to be useful to him.
