Chapter Twenty-Seven: Birthday Gifts
Now I can see that Yinzhen is not in a good mood, but she doesn't know how to persuade her. While peeking at Yinzhen and thinking about whether to tease him, there was a sound from the bottom of the flower pot outside the door.
"I know that the master is here, and the Wanshou Festival is coming, and the master will also serve snacks and help the concubine think of a way!" The Ulanala clan came in in a hurry, it seemed that it was really on fire, and no one entered, and the sound came first.
Su Li sat up and wanted to get off the kang, but was pressed down by the Wulanala clan, and sat on the edge of the kang with a list and handed it to Yinzhen. Shunxin smiled and poured water on her, and she drank it in a hurry.
Su Li stepped aside and continued to work, long live, she smiled coldly in her heart, it was just a birthday, it turned out to be a festival, and she had to give gifts, no wonder the family affection was thin, Lao Tzu's birthday son gave gifts, no matter how much friendship was just a big deal of spending money, and Lao Tzu didn't do it if he gave less, saying that he had no filial piety.
"It's just the same thing." Yin Zhen was too lazy to look at it, and still looked at Su Li's medical book.
"Master, this year is the old man's fifty-five, which is considered a big birthday, doesn't it make people gossip according to the old practice?" The Ulanala clan gave Su Li a look as he spoke, and asked her to follow suit.
Su Li peeked at Yinzhen again, and he smiled coldly. Su Li thought about it, rubbed over to look at the list, there was really everything, Shou noodles and Shou peaches were all in 'Dan', could the old man eat it? More than a dozen sons, one person sends a few 'burdens', and the Forbidden City can't fit it. And the game from Zhuangzi is not a valuable thing, it is broken, and I finally saw something good until the last page, a jade treasure boat, what is a few meters high, a few meters wide, and weighs hundreds of catties, Su Li stuck out her tongue and laughed, "Sister, it's really enough for you to be tired, how did you come up with it." ”
"If you don't help, forget it, and say cool things, not because you're sick, but because I don't set rules for you." The Ulanala clan scolded with a smile, Su Li's "fall", the two of them made some real feelings, and the Ulanala clan really no longer regarded her as an outsider, and took care of her seriously.
"It's really tiring to be the emperor's son, after the Wanshou Festival and the Queen Mother, the Thousand Autumn Festival of the masters and mothers, the old man has more than one mother, not ten, alas!"
"What nonsense, what a 'fall' and broke my brain!" Ulanara tried to pat her on the head, but instead pinched her arm. She was tired of the situation and sprinkled coquettishness in the arms of the Ulanala clan.
"Li'er is just tired for her grandfather! Who is you? I am reluctant to use palace satin in my clothes, and I wear my robe for two years for a different face, and then I change it and wear it for a few more years. Relying on the prince to raise our family, this birthday is a few thousand taels, and that festival is a few thousand taels, how much silver do you get in a year? Didn't you force your sons to let the minions be greedy and rob one by one? Later, who will make up for it? Su Li let out a long sigh and shook her head with a wry smile.
This time, the Ulanala clan sighed, she has been in charge for more than ten years, every year, and there is a tendency to compare every year. That's right, the sons are all older, they have opened a government and built a mansion, and they are all running errands, and the gifts are naturally getting better and better year by year, and they are more refined year by year, and they are really unbearable.
Yin Zhen looked at the gifts again with a dark face, and for a while, "According to last year's example,"
"Master, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, it's still filial piety when it's time to be filial, it's rare for the old man to have a full life, and don't mess with him again this year." How much did the Wulanala clan bother so much because of Su Li, Su Li just knew that he said these words, and if he really sent it like this, the old man was afraid that he would feel that Yinzhen was at a loss.
"Only Jiangnan sent excerpts up, and last year, Zhejiang Province failed to harvest, which almost caused a civil uprising. The old man exempted Jiangnan from money and food for a year, and the days are difficult, let's still send these, aren't you talking to the old man? Isn't there a small glass kang screen? Send that, these messes are halved. ”
The Ulanala clan thought about it and nodded, but they were still not sure, "Why don't we go and inquire about the third brother, what will the eighth brother send?" ”
"What is there to inquire about? The Lord's woman is still wearing the old robes of the Lord! Yin Zhen seemed to have made up his mind not to add it, and glanced at Su Li, who was wearing a fluffy robe.
Su Li laughed, and after a while, she decided to help him: "Master, use the name of the old man to go to various temples to give monks' clothes." ”
Yin Zhen glanced at her, and then shook his head, "This little trick can get past his magic eyes, you can rest honestly, thank you for not causing trouble to the master." Next time, if you dare to fall on your heels, let the master spend money, and the master will deduct your monthly money. ”
"I have monthly money? Yes, I have monthly money, smooth and comfortable! She was stunned for a moment, thought about it and screamed, and thought something had happened and ran in.
"Master said that I have monthly money, how much money do I have a month?" She stayed at home all day, and it was useless to ask for money, so she didn't ask at all.
Shun Xin and Shu Xin glanced at each other, and they both rolled their eyes, "Master, your monthly money is twenty taels a month, and Fujin has another five taels of your body, all of which are stored in the slave maid, do you want to use it?" ”
"Don't, just ask, it turns out that I didn't work in vain in the house." She couldn't help but be overjoyed, remembering that Mrs. Wang's rank in the Dream of Red Mansions was only twenty taels! And Wang Xifeng, who is in charge of the house, seems to be only twelve taels, and he doesn't know how many he has in the Earl's Palace? Forget it, later the ex-mother-in-law gave her a lot of silver, and she didn't calculate it so clearly with them. After finishing with pride, he shook his head, "That's not right! I changed the kitchen, bought books, and used a lot of medicinal herbs in the bath every day, didn't you give Fujin silver? ”
"There is a medicinal herb shop in the house, and the masters should send someone to get it, what kind of silver do you take? The book was bought by Fujin, and the bookstore was on the master's account, so there was no need for silver. It's not even necessary to change the house, Fujin said, it's what should be done for you. "Pouting in a good way.
Yinzhen and Wulanala looked at her and laughed as if they were laughing, but they found that she was gently tapping her injured head.
"Ancestor, it's good." Ulanara hurriedly pulled her hand away.
"Sister......" She wanted to speak and stopped, now it seems that there are also management loopholes in the Yongwang Mansion, which is strictly governed! After frowning for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said, "Sister, let's sing a double reed!" You pretend to be a bad guy in front of your head, and I hide from no one to do it, can't you? ”
"Ignore her, push you in the kang again!" Yin Zhen knew what she wanted to do, smiled at the Wulanala clan, and glanced at her again, "If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are clear, there will be no fugitives!" ”
The Ulanala clan understood Su Li's cautious eyes, shook his head with a smile, and touched her head, "That's it, our master is thrifty, and the sisters know it, and they are all thrifty." Looking at some loose places, I don't want to embarrass me too much, sisters, you wear clothes that have been changed from your old robes, and you are still uncomfortable. Don't worry, it's really that hard? Although it is sent every day, the old man is not stupid, and he is rewarded every year? The wool comes out of the sheep, but the big guy accompanies the old man to have fun. ”
Su Li was really impressed by the Ulanala clan at this time, and suddenly felt that the stupidest one in this mansion was really herself. Needless to say, Yinzhen is the best of the best, and this Buddha-like Fujin is also such a delicate person, he is really a villain in vain. Thinking about Nian's and Li's again, even the concubines in the palace said that they are not fuel-efficient lamps, it seems that they are really not enough to see! Frustrated. Forget it, let's honestly hide here as a rice worm!
