Chapter 28 Eating melons
Xu is medicine is better than before, and Nie Xiaofan is much more energetic today. This made her more sure that Mrs. Zhou's actions were not aimed at her, maybe those things were just wanted for her to pass on to Mr. Liu in the middle. But since he can't say it explicitly, Nie Xiaofan has no reason to do things for others in a vague way. What's more, this incident made the entire Zhou Mansion full of soldiers.
This day happened to be the time when the Nie Mansion issued the monthly money. At present, the monthly money of Zhuxiang Courtyard and Shao'an Courtyard is issued by Nie Xiaofan. Early in the morning, Nie Xiaofan asked Liu Yu to take the monthly money from Shao'an Academy.
Nie Xiaofan gathered the maids and daughters of Zhuxiang Courtyard in the courtyard again, and recognized them seriously. Whoever called what and what he did was remembered one by one. In the past, she only wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but now she knows that hands-off shopkeepers are not so easy to be. She was only sick for a day, and this bamboo incense courtyard was almost messed up, which is enough to prove that her leadership style is very problematic. You must know that the original owner has been ill for more than ten years, and the huge Changping Courtyard has not been messed up. Nie Xiaofan now understands that anything can be done by others, but the leader has to do it himself.
Wait for the fennel to send out the monthly money. Nie Xiaofan said: "In the future, you will perform your own duties. Don't be lazy or slack. Let's disperse first. "Because of the monthly money, everyone has a smile on their faces. Answered in unison. Another mother-in-law in a kudzu cloth shirt asked tentatively, "Why didn't you see the willow heart girl?" Nie Xiaofan glanced at her, and Mrs. Huang immediately retracted her head. It's no wonder that they respect Liu Xin so much, they are all Liu Xin's servants in the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard. Now the subordinates in the house have been cut in half by the old lady. These people are very grateful to Liu Xin for coming here.
But the people in Zhuxiangyuan are about to catch up with the old lady's Fu'an Hall, and Nie Xiaofan is also worried about it now. Mama Jiang didn't have a monthly payment, which was very embarrassing. Seeing that the mother-in-law asked Liu Xin, she scolded at the top of her voice: "The lard is blinded, what kind of girl is that cheap hoof." Your serious master is sitting here."
"Mama Jiang!" Nie Xiaofan also raised his voice, "Do you want to be deducted from your monthly money again?"
Liu Xin is sick, don't bother her if you have nothing to do. Tell Liu Yu the same thing. After Nie Xiaofan finished speaking, he was helped into the main house by fennel.
The people in the courtyard were scattered, and Mama Jiang stayed where she was. His face was blue and white for a while. She was originally whimsical in the past, and she wanted to control Nie Xiaonian and become the first slave of Nie Mansion. was frightened by Nie Xiaofan and entered the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard. Originally, no one knew about her monthly money being deducted, but now Nie Xiaofan distributed the monthly money in public, which made Mama Jiang very shameless. She was staring coldly now. said that she was asked to take care of the accounts, but she was never given real power. Now it's just the scenery outside, but in fact, there is no place for her in Zhuxiangyuan.
Liu Yu came back and saw that she was stunned, so she said, "Mama is free, so I will go outside to buy some watermelons and come back." The girl has to eat during the day. ”
Look, look, now even the job of buying has to call her. Mama Jiang's head twisted to the side. I heard Liu Yu ask Mrs. Huang to go with her. When Mama Jiang heard that there was someone for her to send. I was afraid that Nie Xiaofan would deduct her monthly money again. She has already been deducted more than 20 taels. She was no longer careful, Liu Yu gave a piece of broken silver, and said, "If you want to buy fresh melons, it's okay to buy more." Buy more seasonal fruits and take the well water at night to eat tomorrow. Mama Jiang said: "The girl can't eat the water that has poured from the well." You little hoof."
Liu Yu smiled mischievously: "The girl said to eat it for us too." I will have it every day from now on. Mama, don't worry. "Mama Jiang listened, this is also a good thing. turned around, and didn't call Mrs. Huang, but called Mrs. Li, who was guarding the door, to go with her.
Nie Xiaofan took medicine and began to study the account book. Although she was excited yesterday, what she thought of was still very reasonable. Nie Xiaofan has never advocated throttling, but open source is a must. At present, I have taken a look at it, and the dim sum shop Heyi Zhai has about 200 taels of income every year. Business is tepid. At least it's more popular than the dim sum in Juxian Building. Speaking of Juxian Building, Nie Xiaofan thought of the snacks sent by Aunt Yu every day. The dim sum of Juxian Building is better in style and style. However, the dim sum of Heyi Zhai is really delicious. It is especially popular with children. If you can combine the two, it is also a good business opportunity.
At noon, Nie Xiao'e brought Liu Er to the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard. Nie Xiaofan greeted him with a smile. Nie Xiao'e said: "But okay? I look more energetic than ever." Nie Xiaofan smiled: "It's much better, and I'm about to send someone to invite my sister." The two of them held hands and went to the embroidery room in the West Chamber, which Nie Xiaofan specially vacated a few days ago. After a while, he began to work with needlework. Nie Xiao'e saw that she picked up the previous embroidery shed again, and said: "In the past, you said that I should guide you, but you only watched, if you have thoughts today, I will teach you." Nie Xiaofan knew that her embroidered works were going to be sold, so it was not good to delay her. Then he said: "Sister, I'm busy with you, I'll watch you embroider and learn slowly." Embroider a flower and practice your hands. No, I will ask you again, and it will be the same. ”
While speaking, Liu Yu had already placed a basin of ice next to Nie Xiao'e. and a little girl brought the watermelons that Mama Jiang bought back for the two of them to eat. The watermelon has been chopped. It's just right with a silver skewer fork. Nie Xiaofan took a bite and said, "This melon is sweeter than before." Have you eaten yet?"
Liu Yu replied: "I have already divided a few for them." They all said thank you, girl. This melon is a black beauty bought exclusively for girls. Mama Jiang bought two. It was the sweetest, and the slave maid brought it to the two girls at once. There are also some seasonal fruits, which are the best ones to buy by Mama Jiang. The fennel is being washed, and I'll bring it in a moment. ”
Nie Xiao'e said: "This girl, when she doesn't throw sandbags with the little girl, she is quite decent." These words reminded people of Liu Yu, a big man still playing with the little girls, and Nie Xiaofan and Liu Er both giggled. Liu Yu was embarrassed and grabbed the back of her head with her hand.
Nie Xiaofan said again: "Mama Jiang did a good job, remember to bring one back to the second sister later." Liu Yu was busy. In fact, no matter how good or bad watermelon is, it is almost the same. It's just that Mama Jiang knew that everyone in the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard wanted to eat, so she distinguished her from others. It can be seen that she still knows how to respect her master in her heart. Nie Xiao'e asked, "What do you mean?"
Nie Xiaofan said with a smile: "Sister is not only a sister, but also a master, this is a disciple to honor your old man." Nie Xiaofan said it naughtily, and everyone in the room laughed.
Liu Yu was the most lively, laughed for a while, and then pulled Liu Er and the little girl outside. When they arrived at the kitchen, the maids and ladies all gathered together to drink tea and eat melons. At this time, it was the most leisurely time of the day, and they were happy to talk and laugh together. Mama Jiang had already made up for her shame in the morning, and she was too lazy to be with them, annoying the busy fennel chatting. When he saw Liu Er coming, he scolded: "Cheng only knows how to be lazy during the day, doesn't the girl need anyone there?
Liu Yu didn't care about her, took out a few pennies and gave her a few pennies, and said, "The girl praised Mama for doing a good job." After Mama ate the melon, she went to teach the four girls the rules. Mama does a good job, and the girl has a lot of rewards. Seeing that she was appreciated again, Mama Jiang remembered that Nie Xiaofan casually rewarded her with a golden hairpin worth more than ten taels. I don't dare to have any more fire, I just want to do a good job. I only hope that Nie Xiaofan can recover her monthly money.
Thinking so, Mama Jiang twisted her round waist and walked away again. After all, she was offered to the fourth girl.
