Chapter 27 does not ask for peach trees to give birth to pomegranates
The silver money on the Zhuangzi is not enough for the daily use of the He mother-in-law who was born in the Bofu, and there is only one master in the main house, but there are many servants.
The second master is currently a member of the Ministry of War, and he receives 92 Shilu rice a year - about 11,000 catties, which is eaten by people from all over the country. Half of the silver is at the disposal of the second room, but the population of the second room is also large, and the second master's social entertainment, up and down is a large amount of expenses, Rao is the second lady is used to it in her mother's house, and she is a little unbearable.
This time, the uncle went home and the third brother Zhang Luo cleaned up the pine garden of the big house, and the second room sent a few servants in the bamboo garden to help for a day.
The uncle received the letter a long time ago when he wanted to return to China, but the stepmother-in-law was like listening to a song, and she didn't take any action. If you add things to the big house, there will be no eldest son in the public school, and the mother-in-law will not be comfortable finding a second room. If it weren't for the uncle's leave to return to Beijing, there would be a mess in the bamboo courtyard, and she would have almost forgotten about it. The second master is dedicated to business, and he ignores all the trivial matters at home.
I thought that the population in the big house was simple, and there was no need to raise these eyesore foxes. Uncle and Yiyi have had silver and rice for many years, and all the materials sent out to sea have been converted into cash and distributed, which must be much more generous in silver than the second room, so they are just waiting for the uncle to come back and get some light. If she doesn't plan more as soon as possible and only rely on the public middle school to support these matters, she will be able to lose her face at that time, and the second master may not be able to spare her at that time.
Now that the distinguished guests come to the door, I wanted to be more in front of the guests to accompany them, but when I saw that the cold elements such as the long room were exposed in front of the visitors, I couldn't stay at once. He Shi was even more disgraced, and he only explained a sentence of the scene, and he excused that the eldest son was seriously sad and grief, and it was not suitable to accompany the guest and quickly flashed.
After the imperial doctor and others entered the house for diagnosis and treatment, the female dependents only stayed to take care of her, and Lin Yiliu also turned around and retired with her mother step by step.
"Your Highness, why don't you move to the hall and take a break." Yiyi was slightly embarrassed, the guests came to the door, and the undignified house at home made her very uncomfortable.
"I'm still here waiting for the results of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the weather is fine today, and I will sit in the hospital." Yu Yongjia didn't have a trace of superfluous expression on his face, and naturally chose a place for himself to rest.
Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the maid to serve tea to everyone. The two little maids are both twelve or thirteen years old, and it seems that they can make do with some sweeping and sprinkling work, and they are still two children in Yiyi's opinion. Now there are still guests in the courtyard to greet, only ask them that the taller one is Xianglan, and the shorter one is called Jasmine, so I didn't ask the two of them in detail, and let the two of them get busy separately first.
It was almost midnight, and I was busy and ordered to go to the kitchen to see what the ingredients for the snacks were. The courtyard of the long house has its own small kitchen, when the Jiang family and the Ma family married into the door, the grandmother Luo set up an independent small kitchen for the two rooms, only the daily dinner and New Year's time, the house in the same meal. The rest of the time, most of the sons in each courtyard went to the yamen to work, or went out to school, just so that the daughters-in-law of each house cooked according to their own tastes, and the long room was even more reluctant to go together after He entered the door.
"Your Highness is now at the end of the day, if you don't dislike it, please have some food at home."
"Then bother." Yu Yongjia seems to be a well-educated, gentle gentleman, and he is particularly like a spring breeze when he gets along. Yiyi instructed another little maid to go to the small kitchen to set up a fire, boil water, and put the dishes and chopsticks that have not been used for a long time into the pot and boil them in boiling water.
Yu Yongjia saw that Yiyi actually went into the kitchen by herself, and when she was bored, she also followed. Yiyi didn't have the concept of a gentleman and a distant cook, so he persuaded him to see him still interested in watching her cook, so he went with him.
The Lin Mansion was not very large, and it took less than ten minutes for the little maid sent to fetch things to go back and forth between the courtyard of the long house and the big kitchen. In the basket of ingredients, there was a piece of fresh pork, a fresh grass carp, a few eggs, cabbage, leeks, and tofu, all of which were extremely ordinary ingredients, and there was no sign of preparing to add vegetables to the feast.
Yu Yongjia has no power to scheming, but he is a clear mind. Seeing that this girl of the same age seemed to be in a difficult situation, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't mind, tomorrow I will invite my colleagues to pick you up in the Zhenyu Pavilion."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trouble!" Yi Yiwan smiled and said, "It's just that I never expect pomegranates to grow on the peach tree."
When Yu Yongjia heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that she didn't have the slightest sadness and resentment, she just had such a calm spring breeze smile, but she was gloomy all over. Suddenly, my heart felt like a green plum, and it suddenly became sour.
"Your Highness has been wronged!" In modern times, people are embarrassed to serve such dishes at home, but it is better to have food than to be hungry.
"It's okay, I don't expect Lin Mingzan to have the skills of an imperial chef!" This master is good-natured, and he jokes indifferently.
In the main courtyard of the Lin Mansion, the He family was also angry. After the bridal maid Lamei scolded the two stupid inflexible men. He ordered the two fools to be sold; The housekeeper and the housekeeper of the inner courtyard each deducted half a year's monthly money.
The nurse You's mother was a miscellaneous person who had retreated, and only she and Lamei were left in the house to persuade: "Why should Madame be so angry, who would have thought that the first female official of Daxun would be so spicy and unruly, and she didn't know the etiquette." Who can pull down the face and compete with the next person outside the gate? I really can't think of it. ”
The small nine-grade sesame grain is a big official, and it is good to call the first female official, this is queuing up to buy buns, just in terms of priority? Lamei is the personal maid of Miss Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and her knowledge is not ordinary.
In the past, the small Honglu Temple praised it, and it was not worthy of the door of the Shangshu Mansion.
"That's it!" Lamei also helped: "The young lady of which family is no longer happy in her heart, and she has not crossed the elders of the family director to reprimand the housekeeper." What's more, the uncle's life and death are uncertain now, and her marriage and marriage are all in your hands. Lamei is also 36 years old this year, and she transferred to the two mansions with the He family, but she has never been married.
Previously, the aunt of the Zuo family accepted a good concubine after marriage, and she was a daughter of a small portal family with an old relationship. He originally planned to give Lamei to him a year or two later, when his husband had a lot of thoughts. It's better than accepting some people who don't have a foundation from the outside to make trouble in front of you. But Zuo Yuxing's body is weak, and his body gradually becomes less difficult after marriage, so he no longer considers taking concubines.
That year, when I saw the Lin family's aunt's extraordinary appearance, the young lady who had been widowed for many years was confused. Lamei, who accompanied her, was also blushing and enthusiastic when she came to run herself, but in the end it was still empty.
The new aunt can be regarded as turning a blind eye to the stepfamily, not to mention her as a buy-one-get-one-free dowry maid.
The uncle wanted to entrap the new uncle, so he took the uncle to the local inspection in the second year, but the result was a catastrophe. The young lady's husband's family and the head of the mother's family were gone for a while.
Lamei's hope of being a master and letting her children no longer be slaves and servants was also shattered. Marriage has become a thorn in her heart, and she can't see that others have a happy marriage and love between husband and wife.
As soon as these words came out, He Shi's anger suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were bright. A woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation, the most important thing is that this little girl doesn't know how powerful she is now. Mo said that there is no one in charge of the big house now, that is, her father is awake, as long as there is no separation, her marriage has to nod her head to comply with the rules.
