Lu Man doesn't like to listen to plays, but as the host, he has to listen patiently with the guests.

At about the beginning of Shen Shi, after a few plays were sung, everyone got up and said goodbye. Song Mo didn't want to go, he was too lonely at home, and there were many children and animals here, and he was familiar with Lu Man, the most important thing was that he was reluctant to pea yellow, crying and crying to live here for a few days.

Seeing that Song Mo was so reluctant to be reluctant, Pea Huang also blinked his eyes, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Min said incredulously, "God, look at it, this kitten is crying." God, there's no weirder kitten than this, so good. ”

Lu Man laughed in his heart, just be good! She glanced at Pea Huang approvingly, the little guy was capable, and he hooked Song Mo's soul away. This is what Lu Man has repeatedly told him and Qingqing to do before, and he also made a wish that if he does a good job, he will be rewarded.

Seeing this, the eldest princess pulled Song Mo, who was crying, and said, "Poor Jian'er, don't cry, crying will break my aunt's grandmother's heart." Okay, okay, Hongu will help you intercede. However, your grandmother and father were reluctant to let you come out to live, so they asked Pea Yellow to accompany you to your house for a few days. ”

He pretended to say to Lu Man, "Zhan Wei's daughter-in-law, let Pea Huang go to accompany Brother Mo for a few days." This child is very old at such a young age, and it is difficult for him to cry like this today. ”

Mother Tang, who was standing behind Song Mo, was a little surprised, and quickly lowered her head to absorb the astonishment and reluctance in her eyes.

Song Ming hurriedly bowed to the eldest princess and said with a smile, "Mo'er is stubborn, and the imperial aunt still spoils him so much." ”

Lu Man smiled, "Okay, let's go." Quietly, don't let the horse master see it, otherwise you won't be able to leave. He asked Qingqing, who was serving the cat, to pack up his things and come back in three days.

When Song Mo heard this, he quickly closed his mouth, went over and picked up the pea yellow and ran out of the door, for fear that Lu Man would change his mind, and the monkey's anxious appearance made everyone happy.

The old colt was having fun with Crispy Candy and a few girls, unaware that Pea Yellow had been abducted by someone else.

Seeing off all the guests, Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu also returned to their own house, and the courtyard returned to quiet.

Lu Man didn't enter the house, she stood under the porch and looked at the sky in a daze for a long time, and she didn't listen to the persuasion of Mama Wang and others.

I don't know when a light snow fell in the sky again, and the snowflakes piled up on the trees little by little, on the ground, on the roof, turning the dead branches into jade trees and flowers, turning the world in front of me into a white expanse.

It's not like this place is in Lan Ting Zhou, standing in Lan Ting Zhou and seeing the sky is far and vast, but she can't see the world outside the Eldest Princess's Mansion if she wants to see through it. Here, beyond the east wall, there is a vast world, and the occasional passerby can be heard.

If she wants to go out, she doesn't need to ask anyone for leave.

She wanted to stand at the door and look at the outside world and breathe the air of freedom, but she didn't dare to do it sensibly. If that's the case, Mama Wang will be angry and cry.

Mama Wang came to remind again, "Third grandma, go back to the house, don't be cold." ”

Lu Man also felt that his feet were frozen, so he turned around. The girl lifted the cotton curtain, opened the door, and she walked in.

She went to the bedroom first, took off the Zhaojun set, took off the extra jewelry on her head, and then took off the cotton gown, and changed it into a magenta brocade jacket, a long cotton skirt of lilac silk, and put on purple cotton slippers.

Lu Man came to the east side house again, and he was already dressed in relaxed loungewear. She sat cross-legged on the kang, and the thin crow green mattress embroidered with money patterns was soft and warm.

She looked around, wenge cabinets, circle chairs, coffee tables, wax plums inserted in the half-human-height dendrobium, peacock blue glazed three-legged incense burner, small kang screens placed in the corner of the kang, and white window paper......

This is her home! She was able to live in a home that was safe and unguarded.

She pursed her lips and giggled again. It's not bad to have such a home in less than a year.

At this time, Uncle Ming and Uncle Wang asked to see each other, and they handed over today's gift list to Lu Man.

The big red envelope given by the eldest princess and the old concubine contained 8,000 taels of silver tickets, and the younger brothers and sisters each had 4,000 taels of silver tickets.

The big room, the second room, and the third room each sent a set of gold and jade utensils, Song Ming sent a red sandalwood frame embroidered with eight screens of rich Ruyi carved silk screen core, the Min family sent a blood sandalwood butterfly small Bogu frame, and the Xie family sent a gilded pink porcelain Pegasus ornament.

Lu Man said bluntly that he had broken the bill, keep the accounts, and it would be good to repay the situation if people had something to do in the future. She took the silver ticket and laughed out loud, the eldest princess is so cute, no matter whether it is vulgar or not, as long as it is practical.

She is short of silver now, Tong Ren Tang has used some money, and she will be of great use in the future. Although Jiang Zhanwei handed over all the 60,000 taels of silver in the family to her, she still had to distinguish between public and private. The money belongs to the family, and she will spend it on her own enjoyment and the expenses of the family. And his own private property, as well as He's future life, it is best not to use that money. The Sanjin house she wanted to buy before had already been bought, the port was better, not too far from here, and it cost more than a thousand taels of silver.

and asked the two brothers and sisters to put the silver tickets in the account.

Lu Man told Uncle Ming and Uncle Wang about the distribution of the masters and servants in the family, as well as the monthly silver expenses.

They are no longer the people in the mansion of the extremely rich and luxurious princess of the Changting Pavilion, and the current head of the family is Jiang Zhanwei, who is just a fourth-rank military attaché. Then, all the treatment cannot be as high as in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, that is, the salary will be reduced. If Jiang Zhanwei is promoted in the future, he may raise his salary. If he unfortunately dies, he may not even be able to maintain his current treatment.

Although they shared a lot of money, they had to plan for the long term.

The master can't be like the original, how to be a group of slaves of the wife, grandmother, and young master. And now, there is only one housekeeper and two big girls in Lu Man's yard. Jiang Zhankui is a personal servant, a first-class girl, and a second-class girl. Jiang Jiu is a housekeeper, a first-class girl, and a second-class girl. Sprinkle and sweep the little girl, rough mother-in-law or something, all shared.

Lu Man is the lady in charge, and she takes twenty taels of silver, which is thirty taels less than the lady in charge of the eldest princess's mansion. Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu each took five taels of silver, five taels less than before.

Uncle Ming is the chief manager, five taels of silver. Uncle Wang is the deputy governor, three taels of silver. All kinds of stewards, two taels of silver. The housekeeper, the big girl, the kitchen master, the personal servant, a tael of silver......

The monthly silver of the people seems to have decreased, but in fact, Uncle Ming, Uncle Wang, Liu Xin, Liu Ya, Lu Ling and others have become the chief steward and steward, and they have more money than they originally took in the eldest princess's mansion. Mama Wang suffered a loss, one or two pieces less than the original, but Uncle Wang took more money, so she didn't lose either. And Lu Aya has completely become Lu Man's assistant, known as the medical manager, and she has two little girls under her who have just been bought, called Xiaozhong and Xiaoxi.

These two special names, only Lu Man knows their meaning, is the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
