Ning Cui, Bi Si, and Su Su went back to the house and put away the reward they had won, Su Su opened the oil paper bag, it was a bag of broken swallows, although it was broken, it was a serious official swallow, which was also very good. Su Su smiled: "Let's eat together, don't say that the old lady rewarded good things, I don't remember you." I opened the big purse again, and there were several kinds of jewelry, all of which were good, especially a string of tourmaline beads, which did not look like a reward for the little maids to wear, and I knew that Sister Amber had specially picked it.

Su Su put these things on the table, "If you have anything you like, put it away, I'll be generous this time." Let Ning Cui Bisi and the two of them be both moved and funny, and they didn't shirk it, they both chose one they liked, and they also chose one for Liu'er.

In the afternoon, Su Su did not copy the account book, but the outer library of the warehouse with Dong Song, the work is not heavy but it needs to be careful, everything must be numbered in the book, and the lack of less must be written down, and it is very tired after half a day. As for the old lady's private vault, it was sorted out by Sister Amber herself, and even Dong Song could only look at it and couldn't get started.

Liu Er didn't come back until after dinner, carrying a big burden, and as soon as she entered the house and closed the door, she said, "But I'm tired to death." Ning Cui stepped forward to take over the burden, which was really not light.

Su Su hurriedly poured water for Liu'er, and Liu'er poured a big mouthful before saying, "My grandfather said that as long as we can really learn a few words, these things are not enough for him to send again!" "Saying that he untied the burden, there were four sets of four sets of study and four treasures, which were not precious, but they were also very good for beginners, and other Susu did not know very well, but the thick stack of paper was snow-white and smooth, and it was the snow paper personally supervised by the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and there were four copies of the same calligraphy and a copy of "Thousand Character Text".

Bith looked at these things and said, "Let Grandpa Qiao break the bank." "These are the worst to dozens of taels of silver, I have the heart to say that I want to give silver, and I think that Su Su has just arrived, and she doesn't have much savings in her hand, so she will be embarrassed when she says this, and she doesn't know what to say for a while!

Although Liu Er has the most arrogant temperament, which one of the people who can serve in the old lady's yard is a stupid person, and she knows what Bi Si is thinking when she rolls her eyes, "Don't scold me!" Su Su also thought of the silver, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Er say this, and said, "You beginners, you can't use such a good thing, why don't you let the big housekeeper retreat." ”

Liu Er couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this: "My good Su Su, my grandfather is the big housekeeper of the Song Mansion, and he returns these dozens of taels of silver, what kind of trouble is this?" We are the people in the old lady's room, and we are fighting for such an idea, so that outsiders will know, and we will laugh at our shallowness. Don't talk about what you don't have, I'll be annoyed if you say it. Liu Er stiffened her face, and when she saw the other three pretending to be afraid, she couldn't help but laugh, and the four of them laughed for a while, feeling that the relationship was more intimate.

Liu Er said again: "My grandfather said that he would like to thank Su Su and go to my house for tea another day, and let my mother make something for you." After that, he whispered: "My grandfather also said, let Su Su teach us secretly, and when we know a few words, I will quietly tell Sister Pearl that I have crossed the road in front of the old lady, and the people in the province will talk." ”

Su Su nodded again and again, worthy of being a big housekeeper, thinking about everything.

At the end of November, Su Su, who had just come to Song's house for a few days, also had a month's monthly money. In the Song Mansion, the monthly money of the eldest maid is two taels, the second-class maid is one tael, the third-class maid is five coins of silver, and the rough envoy is two hundred wen.

It is also because of this that Su Su knew that the Emperor of the Great Chu Founding Ancestor reunified weights and measures, in terms of silver money: one tael of silver = ten coins = one thousand copper coins, ten taels of silver = one tael of gold. Because of the developed economy and abundant products, the purchasing power of silver is very high, one tael of silver can buy two stones of ordinary rice (one stone is set at one hundred catties), one penny can buy two steamed buns or a meat bun, pork twenty yuan a catty, and two taels of silver a month for a well-off family is enough to cover expenses.

Regarding land, the fields in the south are more expensive than those in the suburbs of Beijing, and the best fertile land costs between 12 taels and 15 taels of silver, and Su Su can buy ten acres of fertile land with the jewelry and silver he got in the Song family these days. And the Song family is much richer than the Jia family.

During this period, Su Su also met several other masters of the Song family: the eldest master was only about thirty years old, and his temperament was so elegant that he was not like a businessman like a Taoist. The eldest wife, Le, is the daughter of a petty official, and she has done an excellent job on the surface.

The children where the big house is located have a big young master and a big girl, which is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, twelve years old this year. There is another fourth young master who is eight years old, and the fourth girl who is seven years old.

The second master is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he rarely looks good, but his health is not very good, and now he has passed the exam. The second wife, Chang, is a talented daughter, it is said that the family is poor, but she still has to hold the shelf of a scholar, and she doesn't take anyone in her eyes, and she has a bad relationship with the second master, and only gave birth to a second girl, who is ten years old this year. The second master has two concubines, and gave birth to the second eldest son of the second room, the second young master, who is nine years old, and the third young master and the third girl who are born in the second room, both of whom are eight years old.

The third master is a concubine, but since the little aunt passed away, raised under the old lady's knees, married to the old lady's niece Li, gave birth to a fifth young master, just past the sixth birthday, and a daughter, a three-year-old six girls, and a concubine Aunt Gao, gave birth to five girls, five years old this year.

The old lady has so many grandchildren, but only the children in the third room are close to the grandmother, and the grandchildren in the second room of the big house moved to the outer courtyard because they were over six years old. Liu Er secretly mentioned Su Su these things, which made Su Su very sad for the old lady, but fortunately, the old lady could think about it.

Su Su will take the time to teach his roommates to learn literacy every day, from holding a pen to sitting and then grinding and laying paper, and then anyway, how did the former Mr. of the Liguo Mansion teach the original owner, Su Su taught them, learning five words a day, not only to be able to read and write, but also to understand the meaning, to be able to form words and make sentences, I didn't expect that even the most unstable Liu Er on weekdays could persevere. Su Su didn't know that Liu Er had guaranteed a ticket in front of her grandfather.

Su Su and the four of them showed the letter in front of Pearl within a few days, Pearl didn't say anything, only let them and Su Su study hard, to Laba on this day, the old lady drank Laba porridge in the morning, and waited for her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren to ask for peace and let them all disperse, the old lady was a little depressed, Pearl smiled and said: "But I want to say hello to the old lady!" ”

The old lady was a little puzzled, "What happy event?" "Isn't it a happy event that there are a few talented women around the old lady?" Pearl said that she told Liu Er and Su Su about learning to read and write.

"Liu Er can tell the slave maid, Sister Pearl, I won't be called Liu Er in the future, I will be called Yang Liu, Yang Liu is still Yang Liu." Pearl learned Liu'er's arrogant appearance ten out of ten, so that the old lady who was drinking tea almost choked, pointed at Pearl and scolded with a smile: "Promote narrow ghosts!" Then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Quickly call those four girls in, and let me also see the willow that is still in the willow!" ”

A few maids who were waiting in the inner room laughed, and Jade personally went to the outside room and shouted: "Ning Cui, Bisi, and Su Su come in, the old lady wants to meet, and the willow named Yang Liu Yiyi." This sentence made the old lady point at her and didn't know what to say.
