Chapter 229: Money is Enough for the Time Being
Wei Wangfu ordered?
Several people present listened to the shopkeeper's words. Turning their heads together to look at the finger cuffs that fit incomparably well on Changsun Xi's hands, Changsun Xian's face tightened, and she snorted coldly:
"If you don't give me face, you're still here to fool me, this finger set is clearly for the little girl's family, what is the Wei Wangfu doing with this thing!"
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and squeaked: "This leather material is indeed sent by Wei Wangfu, and the small shop is just out of some craftsmanship, and I don't know what Wei Wangfu is doing with this delicate little object, Xu Yes, Xu is a gift?" ”
Giver? The last sentence of the shopkeeper fell, and several people's faces flashed with different colors.
Changsun Xian was about to ask again, but was grabbed by Changsun Xi, and said in a coquettish voice: "Eldest sister, don't be embarrassed by the shopkeeper, I think he is telling the truth." ”
"Huh? Then you don't want it? Eldest Sun Xian asked.
"It's not that you don't..."Changsun Xi's little face was a little red for some reason, and she muttered in a very low voice.
"Say what?" Changsun Xian didn't hear clearly.
"I said let's not buy it, after all, it was ordered by the fourth brother." After Changsun Xi smiled and reached out and touched the deerskin finger sleeve on his finger, he took them off one by one, put them neatly in the box, and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Sister, let's go."
"I haven't bought anything yet. You don't want that, just pick something else. ”
"No, the set of deerskin at home, I'll use it very well, think about it or don't change it, let's go."
Changsun Xi smiled and took Changsun Xian's arm, and after saying goodbye to Lu Zhi and Yi Yu, they walked towards the door where the two maids were standing.
Yi Yu glanced thoughtfully at Changsun Xi's back, as well as the box held in the shopkeeper's hand: the art competition of the five academies is approaching, and Changsun Xi has long been sure to be selected, and the Wei Wangfu has set a finger cover, which fits Changsun Xi's fingers very well......
Her fingers hanging down her side bent slightly, connecting the information together, and it was easy to come to a conclusion: His Royal Highness King Wei specially asked someone to make a finger sleeve for archery and give it to Changsun Xi.
I didn't expect such a silent person to do such a considerate and pleasing thing to girls.
Yi Yu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, Yi Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Zhi, and he said to the shopkeeper who had just breathed a sigh of relief:
"Where's what I ordered?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized, and after reprimanding the guy named Yu'er in a low voice, he went to the library to get something.
Lu Zhi also gave the jade a finger sleeve, which was placed in a box of the same color as the one just now, but the jade buckle and fine black flow patterns were missing.
The same is the deerskin finger cover, but it is obviously not as delicate as the one just now, but the Yu Yu is still happy, and after putting it on, he fiddled with it for a while, and thanked Lu Zhi with a smile.
The two siblings went to other streets for half an hour, and Yu Yu lived in the secret house, and everything was very appropriate. But the Lu family had just arrived in Beijing, and many things in Lu Zhi's house were lacking, and when the two came out of the workshop, they both carried large bags of things.
After getting into the carriage, Yi Yu took out the money bag that Lu Zhi gave her when she was shopping from her sleeve pocket, poured it into the palm of her hand and padded it, leaving a pitiful few taels of silver.
The economic power of the family is in the hands of the Lu family, every month she will send the children in advance a different amount of silver money as their daily expenses, in order not to develop their habit of lavish spending, although the Lu family now also has two silver a year, but the highest is Lu Zhi's thirty taels of silver per month, fifteen taels of jade, Lu Jun is the least, only twelve taels, of course, excluding those who are occasionally added.
The money bags and purses of the three brothers and sisters are not Yi Yu, that is, they are sewn by the Lu family, Yu Yu knows Lu Zhi's habits, and rarely changes things that are handy, like the money bag she is holding now, which he is used to holding monthly money, and he still bulges before buying things, and there are a few small pieces of broken silver left.
"Big brother. This shouldn't be your monthly money this month, right? ”
Seeing Lu Zhi nodding, Yi Yu took out his small lotus pouch from his belt, took out a folded expensive ticket inside, and was about to stuff it into his money bag.
"No," Lu Zhi stopped her, "I still have more money than my grandfather gave us last time." ”
The first time I met Lu Zhongzhi, I stayed in Chengyuan Building for one night, and when I left the next morning, Mr. Lu hid a thousand taels of silver in the cloak for the brothers and sisters, Lu Jun and Lu both had it, and the family repaired the house a while ago, so he took most of the silver out, and only Lu Zhi's share of the Lu family let him keep it for himself.
But according to what the relics think, the house in Guiyifang is clearly not given by Mr. Lu, although the living is quite comfortable, but there is not even a decent furnishings, and the study is even more empty, except for tables, chairs, bookshelves, and nothing else.
She knew that Lu Zhi was helping the emperor now, but obviously the subsidy was not much, and her eldest brother Xu was still on probation, and he might even have to pay for it himself.
Lu Zhi has never reached out to the Lu family to ask for it, and it is impossible to take Lu Zhongzhi's money again, and the 1,000 taels of silver are not endless.
Thinking like this, Yi Yu still stuffed the fifty taels of expensive tickets into his money bag and handed it back to him, and asked directly: "What the eldest brother is doing now costs a lot of money, right, but is it enough?" ”
Lu Zhi didn't refuse again, put away the money bag, and said with a smile: "Please go up to Hongyue Tower at noon." I haven't seen you save money for me, but now I'm worried about it, the money is enough for the time being, so don't worry. ”
Enough for the time being-Yi Yu paid attention to his words, took the things she had just bought and checked, but secretly pondered, although their family's income of 1,000 taels a year is a lot, but she knows that selling hawthorn is by no means a long-term solution, and their family is just scarcity.
In the face of this high profit, Daxing dried fruit store must have secretly started to plant hawthorn, and when their fruit trees grow, even if it is not like their own multi-season fruit, they can also make up for the lack of plants in the number of plants.
Originally, she wanted not to seek to be rich and expensive, but now it seems that it is better to come up with some other items as soon as possible.
***
Yi Yu stayed in Guiyi Fang until the evening and had an early meal, and the Lu family knew that they didn't have to go to school for the past two days. But Lu Zhi was sloppy, saying that it was better to leave her in class as usual, so he sent her to the gate of Fang City, got into the carriage waiting there, and returned to the secret house.
The jade was intercepted by Yinxiao in the flower hall of the secret house, because there was a small snack specially left at noon in the bag she carried, Yinxiao was cold and cold, and she did not avoid meat and vegetables, and when she smelled the smell, she arched straight to her waist.
She was originally going to bring these snacks back for Li Tai to try, but then she changed her mind. Seeing Yinxiao's greedy appearance, he took out a paper bag containing snacks from the bag, broke the potato cake into small pieces and fed it to it, and said:
"Brother Ah Sheng only confessed yesterday that he wanted to feed you less snacks, so you obediently, don't scream."
Yinxiao was happy to eat, where did she remember her advice, so she screamed and rubbed it on her, and Yiyu hurriedly put away the dim sum that was handed to her mouth, and made a "shh, shh" sound on her lips with a finger.
However, Yinxiao was surprisingly uncooperative today, flapping her wings to reach the snack in her hand, and the jade was just avoiding it at first, and then one person and one bird started playing.
The movement here is indeed not small, Li Tai is reading the letter in the study, and said to Ah Sheng without raising his head: "Take Yinxiao to eat." ”
Ah Sheng obediently walked to the door of the flower hall in the courtyard, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Yi Yu holding a piece of golden snack in his hand, giggling and turning back and forth, teasing Yinxiao, who was in a hurry to spin at her feet because he didn't dare to pounce on her.
What a foodie... Ah Sheng scolded secretly in his heart, and called with a smile on his face: "Miss Lu is back, why don't you go in." ”
Yi Yu was having a good time, and when Leng Buding heard this, he quickly put down his arm and hid it behind his back, turned to Ah Sheng, and replied with a dry smile: "I'll go in now." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yinxiao took this opportunity to go around her back very lightly, arched her palm with her head, and rubbed the piece of dim sum off, and held it in the air.
"......" Yiyu embarrassedly glanced at Ah Sheng, who saw this scene, secretly glared at the triumphant Yinxiao, and then went back to the room with the bag containing the remaining snacks, and Yinxiao was stopped by Ah Sheng before he could catch up.
Yinxiao was not as polite to him as he was to Yiyu. Directly waved his wings and was about to hit it, Ah Sheng waved his arm without showing weakness, and a person and a bird beckoned in the flower hall.

As usual, after Li Tai's dinner, Yu Yu hung up the bow and arrow, and was instructed by him to practice for a while, after these few days of training, her progress is not small, when the state is at its best, ten arrows can be hit by five or six, of course, just barely piercing the edge.
After Li Tai returned to the room, Yi Yu practiced for a while and felt that something was wrong with her head, she stopped and stared at the hand holding the arrow, to be precise, staring at the three finger covers, which were also deerskin, suitable for the girl's family, who had used this?
"Pingtong!" Closing her eyes, Yu Yu shouted, and Westinghouse emerged from two figures and trotted to her.
"Go get that red box in my bag." As she spoke, Yi Yu took off the finger sleeve that she had used for many days on her hand and handed it to Pinghui, "Take it and put it away." ”
"Miss, you're not practicing?" Pingtong saw her movements and asked.
"Practice."
The two maids had doubts, but they cleverly didn't ask much, one went to the house to get the box, and the other went to put things under the bow rack.
Yi Yu opened the red wooden box in Pingtong's hand, took out a brand new finger sleeve and put it on, and after moving for a while, she raised her bow and arrow again, the discomfort just now disappeared suddenly, a flash of worry flashed in her eyes, the three fingers of the string were quickly released, and the feather arrow was inserted straight into the edge of the target stack.
