Chapter 011: Mine, Mine, All Mine
Zi Jue's heart jumped when she heard this: Five taels a month? That year was sixty taels of silver; Oh my God, oh my God, and she eats and dresses without her money, and she can save it completely.
However, according to Zijue's experience, the benefits promised so easily must be drizzle: they are not benefits at all from the other party; So her heart blossomed, but her face was still hesitant, looking like she wanted to go home but was a little reluctant to pay five taels of silver a month.
The old lady was not in a hurry, but just told her about the good days in Chifu; It can be seen that Zijue has suffered a lot, and she thinks it is not difficult to impress such a child.
"IβI miss my younger siblings." Zi Jue struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and spit out words; But for a child, this reason is enough to compete with five taels of silver a month; In fact, Zi Jue shouted in his heart, hurry, hurry, hurry up and talk about the benefits, more silver, more and more silver.
The old lady saw that Zi Jue was already confident, and she knew how to coax Zi Jue to change her mind: "You are the heart of your grandmother, and your grandmother will be sad if you leave-look, your sisters are all five taels, but your grandmother gives you three taels a month, okay?" β
Zi Jue seemed even more struggling: "I miss my mother...... "Eight taels a month, eight taels!" She almost couldn't help but cheer, but she knew that there could be more benefits - her experience made her force all the joy to be suppressed, and if she didn't maximize the benefits, she would not be able to sleep.
The difficulties of begging for life in the market taught Zi Jue early that even if there is a great benefit tomorrow, it will be tomorrow's thing, and it is an unknown thing, because the benefits are still in the hands of others; Only the benefits that come to her are real benefits, so she has to get all the benefits she can get in her hands every time, and she will definitely not hope for tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Tomorrow's events are known only to God.
Zi Jue just wanted to put a little pressure on the old lady, let her know that her heart did not have the Chi family, and she needed more benefits to impress her; But she didn't expect the old lady's expression to change, and she turned her head and glanced at Xia Shi quickly, and immediately pulled up Zijue: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, well, grandmother also prepared a Zhuangzi for you; There are fields, water and mountains, not only annoyed but also to go to the Zhuangzi to relax, every year you can have income, that silver every year is a hundred and ten taels. β
Zi Jue, who was suspicious of the old lady's reaction, was still widened in surprise - she would become a landlord? No, in her original town, there are only two landlords, who doesn't scream when they see it? Now, she also has a field.
You know, in this era, the best heirloom in the eyes of the world is not gold or the like, but land! People always try their best to save money to buy land, because that is the root, that is the treasure that the ancestors can eat and wear for generations to come.
"Really, really?" A suspicious object slipped from the corner of Zi Jue's mouth: "Does Zhuangzi have a house to live in?" "Then her mother and younger siblings will have a place to live, and that is her Zhuangzi.
Old Madam Chi looked away and didn't see Zi Jue's saliva: "How could grandmother lie to you." Chifu is your home, and from now on you will only have one home, and we are all your relatives, have you written it down? If you don't remember this, there will be nothing left of the silver and the Zhuangzi. β
Zi Jue nodded without thinking: "Write it down, I wrote it down, Chi Mansion is my home." She nodded her head like pounding garlic, but because the old lady had a strange look just now, she felt a little uneasy in her heart; In addition, she knew too little about the Chi family, and she didn't want people to be wary of her "greed", so she twisted her hand twice: "Grandmother, can I eat meat, I mean eat it now-she didn't let me eat it just now." β
She's just a child, and nothing she likes can attract her more than meat.
"I won't think about that or that anymore when I eat meat," Zi Jue didn't say the word home: "Grandmother, I just want to eat meat, as long as I can eat meat, fish, and chicken every day, I won't leave; If not......" She lowered her head: "I still want to ......"
The old lady smiled: "Okay, okay; We eat meat, fish, and chicken every day, and every day you want to eat your grandmother will let them get you something, okay? Definitely let you eat to your heart's content, eat until you don't like it. β
Zi Jue immediately raised his head worriedly: "I don't like to eat, I just like to eat meat." β
The third lady and the eldest lady both laughed: "We will remember your words." β
After sending off the old lady and the others, Zi Jue came back and sat down to start, because she didn't probe the bottom of the Chi family at all: a Zhuangzi was just casually thrown over - she really had to be that important?
Little by little, the joy dissipated, and the feeling of danger gradually grew in her heart: this is also experience. She was just a little dizzy from the pie that fell from the sky, but now she came to her senses.
There will be no benefits for nothing, this is the truth that Wen Si taught Zijue with a whip; And the greater the benefit, the more difficult it is for you to do things, and the greater the benefit to a certain extent, it means danger, which is the truth that Zi Jue was taught by countless fists when he was fighting in the market.
Zi Jue knew that the Chi family really wanted to keep her, and she was very sincere, but what she wanted her to do would definitely not be a good thing; But she didn't even know what the Chi family asked her to do.
When the food was put on the table again, Zi Jue was no longer interested in eating, but in order to win the people of the Xinchi family, she still devoured it.
When Yun Niang came back, Zi Jue had already finished eating, Mo Chou and Bang Qing took the little girls to pack up their things; Yun Niang walked with a limp, and grinned with every step, looking like she had been beaten lightly.
Seeing Zi Jue, she hurriedly squeezed out a smile, clapped her hands, and two mothers-in-law came in, holding a big vermilion lacquered wooden plate in their hands; Yun Niang went over and lifted the red scarf, and saw that one wooden plate was covered with clothes, and the other was a few small boxes - open to a few pieces of jewelry.
There are two hairpins and hairpins of gold and silver, and a few beaded flowers and yarn flowers, as well as two pairs of bracelets and earrings.
"This is what the old lady asked the slave to bring to the girl." Yun Niang pointed to a few silver hairpins again: "This is the mind of the slave maid." β
Zi Jue blinked: "It's all for me?!" "Where is Yun Niang in her eyes now, her eyes are glued to those things at all; She didn't mention a word about Yun Niang's beating, let alone the slightest hint of appeasement.
In fact, what she was thinking about in her heart was something else entirely: nothing to do is either a traitor or a thief; But on the surface her eyes were beginning to glow, for by a cursory calculation she could have sold for a great deal of silver, which in the eyes of the poor was a great windfall.
As a wild girl who has never seen a few dollars of silver and can't eat all day long, her current performance should be very reasonable, right? Zi Jue quietly glanced at Yun Niang and found that she was really staring at herself, and she immediately rushed over and grabbed the jewelry, and her eyes were open when she saw the money.
After putting down the jewelry, she simply picked up two wooden plates and put them on the table beside her, and then poured all the things into the placket of her clothes, carrying those things in the corner of her clothes with one hand, and couldn't help but pick up a beaded flower with the other hand to look at it.
Now Zijue is of course different to Yun Niang, she didn't forget to greet her, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth: "Auntie, sit down quickly, by the way, you are injured, who is it, that is, you take something for the aunt to cushion, to be soft, the softer the better." β
No matter what calculations Yun Niang and the old lady have, at least she doesn't suffer: it's still the right one, the Chi family's silver is too easy to earn, and she doesn't need to use her brain to hit the silver into her hand.
Yun Niang looked at Zi Jue and wanted to say that she could just let the girls put it away, but she still gave up looking at Zi Jue's appearance: "Big girl, you can rest well tonight, and the slave will come over early tomorrow morning to teach the big girl the rules; If there is anything in the future, the big girl just commands, and the slave and maid will definitely serve the big girl with all her heart. β
Where did Zi Jue have the heart to deal with her, only those clothes and jewelry in her eyes, and waved her hand again and again as if she was chasing flies: "Okay, okay, I know; Auntie, you go slowly. The last sentence can be heard by anyone, and it is insincere.
Looking at Zi Jue's appearance as a wealth fan, Yun Niang was really disgusted to the extreme; Who doesn't love money, but as the eldest girl of the scholarly family, she should have a clear appearance: she is really a wild girl, and she is lost at a little thing; However, people are very well controlled.
I didn't want to see Zijue's wealth obsession anymore, and I wanted to go back to apply medicine and rest quickly after being beaten, so I didn't say anything more and got up and left. In the house, if she personally sent something to someone, she would be rewarded, but this time it was obvious that there was no need to count on it; She didn't dare to hint at Zijue anymore, so she left with a very honest and responsible salute.
Mo Chou didn't know how to send Yun Niang when he saw Zi Jue, so he could only give it away by himself; Bang Qing came over to serve Zi Jue: "Girl, are you sleeping or ...... now?"
"Sleep, sleep now. Where do I sleepββ? Zijue stood up as she spoke, and couldn't wait to hurry into the house to order some of her thingsβin her eyes, the dress was full of silver.
Indeed, it is silver. As long as you send it to the pawnshop, you can exchange a lot of silver, thinking of the black heart of the pawnshop, Zijue misses Su Wanli again; If he is there, they will make a game together, and these things can be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver, and they can let their mother and younger siblings come to the capital together.
It's a pity that she can't do it with her own words; And she has an intuition, it is impossible for the people of the Chi family to let her go out to do "business", oh, didn't that Yun Niang say anything about the scholarly family.
Bang Qing wanted to take what Zi Jue was carrying, but Zi Jue glared at her with her eyes, as if she was carrying her life, and whoever dared to touch her would fight with others.
Money is indeed Zi Jue's lifeline: it's hers, even if it's half a penny, you don't want to take it, unless Zi Jue is dead; Because the money can be exchanged for food, clothing, medicine for her mother, support for her younger siblings, and now she can let her mother come to the capital with her younger siblings.
Money is extremely important to Zijue, and it is almost the same as her life.
"It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, it's all mine!"
The girls listened to "This is mine" all night outside, so that none of them slept well, and they all got up with dark circles under their eyes.
