Chapter 190: Sending Happy Eggs
She looked at Zhao Qing with sparkling eyes.
"It's lively outside, everyone wants to see the style of the Seven Princes!" His expression darkened, "It's a pity, the third grandmother is doing confinement!" ”
Otherwise, they can also take advantage of their unique advantage to stand upstairs of the Dragon Gate Inn and have a sneak peek.
That's a majestic general, a general!
It is a genuine royal noble.
If they miss this time, they will not have the opportunity to see the general and the imperial family for the second time in their lives.
In his previous life, he was a good person, and Zhao Qingxin was like a cat scratching.
She rubbed her nose affectionately against Fu Ge'er's little nose.
"It's all you, you don't come early, you don't come late, you come at this time, so that my mother can't even look at the excitement."
Fu Ge'er wrinkled his nose and continued to sleep.
The funny Xia Zhu Zhou sister-in-law giggled.
Thinking of something, Zhao Qing suddenly raised his head and asked, "...... How many eggs do you have left at home? ”
“…… More than six hundred. Xia Zhu didn't raise his head.
"So little?" Zhao Qing was a little disappointed.
"It's quite a lot!" Xia Zhu laughed, "Even Sister-in-law Zhou praised you, in less than two months, you have mingled with the people here, and even the wife of Feng County Ling has sent someone to send a gift to congratulate our Brother Fu on his longevity." ”
"I've lived here for more than ten years, and I only collected 80 eggs last month!" Sister-in-law Zhou's tone was full of envy.
Xia Zhu followed, "It's that the people here are not as wealthy as Guqi Town, and most of them send ten or twenty eggs." ”
Unlike the red envelopes given in previous lives, eggs and red cloths are mostly given to celebrate the birth of children here.
Listen to Xia Zhu and Sister-in-law Zhou sing and explain. Zhao Qing's face was hot.
How can you say this as if your suspect's family gave you less?
Fortunately, her body is never the same as her, and she is embarrassed to have a crack in the ground. The look on his face didn't move, "I mean it's not enough." She explained.
Xia Zhu was stunned.
"What is the third grandmother going to do?" He added, "There are more than 2,000 in the Dragon Gate Inn." ”
They were all sent by Yang Ziqian, and they were specially explained to Zhao Qing for confinement.
There were enough eggs at home, and she didn't want the Shen family to know that she and Yang Ziqian were very close, so Zhao Qing simply put them at the inn.
"Great!" Zhao Qing nodded, "You go and tell Sister-in-law Liu." ...... those eggs" Yu Guang saw that Sister-in-law Zhou was listening with her ears open, and Zhao Qing's voice paused slightly, "Buy them all." It was dyed red and sent to the officers and soldiers of the Seven Princes. ”
Whether it is Guyan Town or Jianing County, there is a custom of sending happy eggs.
It is that after the child is born, the hard-boiled eggs are dyed red. Give it to relatives and neighbors. After eating auspicious, everyone will also send a sincere blessing to the new child...... The more blessings a child receives, the better.
She wants her Fu Ge'er to get the most, best and most sincere blessings as soon as she is born!
For officers and soldiers?
That's 3,000!
This is not one or two hundred, it will take more than three thousand eggs!
Xia Zhu stammered a little, "Isn't it...... Too much? ”
It's not summer, eggs are everywhere.
It's the New Year!
Most of the chickens in ordinary farmers do not have open crotch to lay eggs, and the price is twice as expensive as in summer, nearly 40 wen a piece, and 3,000 is more than 120 taels of silver. Plus dyes.
With such a large amount, you can't dye the red paper one by one. To buy dyes specially formulated with hematoxy, there are also artificial ...... Just think about it, I don't know how many pots to cook for three thousand eggs, and Xia Zhu's head is big.
In the past, a few hundred taels more was nothing.
Now, they sit and eat empty, and the silver in their hands is spent on a penny less!
Sister-in-law Zhou had already straightened her eyes, "Too much, too much!" ”
"Not much!" Zhao Qing didn't blink his eyelids, "You let Chifeng go to the vegetable market to see if there are any eggs for sale, if there are, buy them all, it's best to make up three thousand!" ”
It's just a hundred and ten taels of silver, and you can exchange it for the sincere blessings of the general and those iron-blooded men under his command, it's worth it!
When the news reached the West Cross Courtyard, the second wife only froze for a moment, and then nodded.
"Okay, good ......," she turned around and instructed Shuxiang, "I don't have to wait, you go and let the second master collect some more eggs to make up the count, and I will give the silver." After thinking about it, he said, "Remember to let Chifeng tell those soldiers that when you eat happy eggs, don't forget to wish us Brother Fu'er a good health and a long life!" ”
The eldest lady went directly to the old lady who was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall.
"How does this work?" She looked at the old lady, "Wouldn't it be like throwing the silver into the water if you give it to those soldiers and ruffians without acknowledging it or thanking them?" There are two meals a day in the house to eat coarse grains, how can there be silver to make her scourge! Let's talk ...... again."
Besides, it's hard to say whether that kid is from the Shen family!
Remembering that she would be anxious with her as soon as she mentioned this second wife, the eldest lady swallowed the words back.
The old lady didn't think about whether this was a scourge of silver.
Encountering one after another great changes, she has seen through the world, prosperous like a dream, but it is just a passing cloud.
She thinks this is a great thing to accumulate virtue.
Virtuous.
If you want to bless your descendants, you must first do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
It's just that Fu Ge'er is in the second room after all, and as the housewife who presides over the feed, Zhao Qing doesn't care about the interests of the big house, which is indeed a bit unfair.
She could not fill it with her own money.
Otherwise, the eldest lady will say that she is biased.
Just thinking about how to deal with it, the second wife came over with a bag of silver.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will pay for this money myself, and I will never use it." She put the silver on the old lady's bookcase.
The big lady gritted her teeth
She is also the silver of the Shen family!
To be verified, this child is not Shen Huaiyu's, and the third grandmother is solved, and the money for the second room will also be hers.
It's just like that, it's just as distressing!
In the past, she thought that the second wife was stupid and good, she was stupid and had a lot of money, and she only had one hint, so she held it with both hands, but now she can't wait to knock open the second wife's stupid brain to see if it is all paste.
Why did Zhao Qing cheat all the money like this!
"The second sister is also pregnant with a child, and there will be more places to spend money in the future." Without a trace, he reminded the second wife that the silver should be left to her son.
Only the flesh that falls from one's own body is the closest.
The second wife laughed, "Brother Fu is my eldest grandson!" ”
The eldest lady almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Coming out of the old lady's room, she immediately ordered Su's mother to go to the account room to keep an eye on, "...... Let the accounting room record the egg red cloth collected by the third grandmother as a confinement separately, and let her pay it off by herself in the future! ”
was disturbed by the eldest lady, and the old lady didn't have the heart to recite the scriptures anymore. After lunch, I came to see Zhao Qing with my second wife.
“…… How does Ying'er feel, is she still unwell? The old lady affectionately pulled Zhao Qing's hand and looked it up and down. The second wife was afraid, "One sleep is two days, you scared me to death, fortunately the doctor said that you are just overtired and lose too much blood, otherwise, I would have to go to Da'an Temple to ask you for the Bodhisattva."
