She thought with a lot of money, buy Zhuangzi for all parts of Shengjing City, and go wherever she wants in the future, she wants to raise a bunch of ducks.

This time, the sisters not only earned money from outsiders, but also from the silver of the Guogong Mansion.

Because Yufangzhai has more moon cakes with egg yolk lotus paste, Shen's eats well, so the moon cakes given by the Yanguo Mansion are all ordered from Yufangzhai, carved wooden box, there are a total of eight pieces inside, four of which are egg yolk lotus paste, and one of the other four flavors in the other four.

The price in Yufangzhai is two taels of silver per box.

Originally, I wanted to do without money or give Shen something cheaper, but Shen didn't need it, she only decided to eat deliciously, and it wasn't that she didn't have any money, and she used her daughters to spend money, according to their methods, the two accounts couldn't be explained, anyway, her own silver went into her own pocket, and it wasn't a loss.

Such mooncakes also add luster when taken out.

The Yanguo Mansion ordered a total of sixty boxes, which is one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

There are also many large orders, all of which are frequent customers of Yufangzhai, try the scattered ones first, and basically buy them all back to order moon cakes, each of which is dozens or hundreds of boxes.

The shopkeeper also plans to make more and sell it elsewhere, after all, they have the egg yolk lotus paste filling here, and it is estimated that there will be more next year, so sell more this year.

Although it is said that the silver from selling moon cakes can't reach his pocket, but if he does it well, maybe Yufangzhai will open a branch in the future, and the owner will give him a share, as long as he does it well, the moon silver will also rise.

Looking at the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, there are more festivals than elsewhere.

He didn't know about others, but the shopkeeper was ten taels of silver, six catties of moon cakes, and two catties of crabs.

More than twenty taels of silver.

Yan Mingqiao actually thinks that the price is a bit expensive, and she eats eight moon cakes for two taels of silver, among which there are not very delicious five-kernel fillings, with one or two silver pounds, if it weren't for Yufangzhai's dim sum to eat, she would be reluctant to eat it herself.

The delicious honey jujube cake in that house is twenty wen a catty, several large pieces.

But Yan Mingyu had experienced moon cake assassins before, not to mention two taels of silver, there are more expensive dim sum shops in other shops, and some people sell them. There are many rich people in Shengjing, like those who do business, and they want to make some connections during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they can't get too cheap mooncakes.

This kind of mooncake is sold in that beautiful box, you can buy it cheaply if you want to, and it is weighed in bulk, and the price is half cheaper, but the taste is the same.

Listening to what her sister said, Yan Mingqiao felt that it made sense, she also sent moon cakes to several gentlemen, and the maids in the house had two catties of moon cakes per person, and one or two silver, the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was lively and lively.

On weekdays, Yan Mingqiao is also generous to the maids below, and often rewards silver. Lin Xiang and the others remembered in their hearts that Yan Mingqiao was good, and there were many benefits to coming to the main courtyard, and they learned a lot of things, and the meals were better than when they were in Wutong Garden.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the joy of several people was written on their faces, and Lin Xiang made up her mind to follow the five girls, not to cause trouble, and to work hard.

She doesn't want to get married and have children, in the future, when the five girls get older and older, she will be more qualified, and when the girls come out of the cabinet, she will be the aunt in charge, and follow the five girls well, which is better than anything else.

Lin Zao and Lin Xiang are the same age, Xuezhu and Qingri are young, one is twelve and one is thirteen, and they are not very safe in doing things, but they are good in temperament, and they are the people given by the Shen family.

In addition to the rituals given by the state government, some of them serve in front of the master, and there will be an extra layer.

Yan Mingyu was also generous, the people in the courtyard each had one tael of silver and two catties of moon cakes, and the cook in the small kitchen got the most, with four catties of moon cakes and ten taels of silver.

Yan Mingyu was able to eat the delicious food she had eaten before because of the cook, otherwise she would definitely not be able to make it if she was asked to make it herself. Every time she said it, the cook could always do six or seven points like that, so that Yan Mingyu could enjoy it and earn money at the same time.

The Yanguo Mansion has received a lot of things in the past few days, and the steward of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei also sent things over early this morning, in addition to the moon cakes and wine that are sent by ordinary walks, there are also two boxes of good tea, two baskets of shrimp crawlers, two baskets of sea crabs, and Chu Zheng was also sent over by the way.

Shen asked him if he wanted to come a while ago, and Chu Zheng agreed, he used to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, even if he was not familiar with many people in the Guogong Mansion, he could be with Ming Qiao.

After the people came, they went to find Yan Mingqiao, and the Shen family still had to deal with these things.

Tea is precious, mainly because it is not easy to find, and good tea is rare, and Shen estimates that it costs thousands of taels of silver to touch two boxes of tea.

Shen left a box of tea and two bottles of wine for Yan Guogong, this is not okay, it can't be sent directly to Yumingxuan like a dowry, and another box of tea leaves is given to Yan Mingyu, the moon cake Guogong Mansion has it, but it is not Yufangzhai's, two pieces were selected for Yan Mingqiao, and the rest was divided among the courtyards.

As for shrimp crawlers and sea crabs, the Shen family ate them a few years ago, thanks to Concubine Yan in the palace, they didn't expect the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to send them over, but they were some rare things.

It is estimated that Chu Zheng told the steward after he went back, which shows that Yuming buckwheat likes to eat these.

It's not a long way from Haicheng to this side, but it will take two or three days, and don't expect to be alive if you transport it, but the ones you get for the Guogong Mansion are relatively fresh.

Shen asked the small kitchen to quickly steam it, and then sent some to each courtyard, and even to each courtyard, it was only the amount of one plate per courtyard, but it was just a taste.

Otherwise, the main courtyard alone will not be able to finish eating, just let the people in each courtyard see how this in-law is.

Anyang Hou Mansion (Yan Mingjing's mother-in-law's house) also sent a festival gift, more expensive than last year's, at the beginning of the month, Shen also went to attend his grandson's full moon banquet, a very white little son, Yan Mingjing in Anyang Hou Mansion can also be regarded as a stand, this time the festival is precious There is a reason for giving birth to a child, and it is estimated that there is also a relationship with Yan Mingyu.

has not yet separated, it is the relationship between the Yan Guo Mansion and the Anyang Hou Mansion, and the Shen family has also thought about it carefully, Yan Guo Gong's qualifications are mediocre, he is a fourth-grade official, and he has never made meritorious contributions, and when Yan Mingxuan inherits the title, I am afraid that the title will be reduced.

From duke to marquis, not bad.

I still have to work hard and stand up, and I can't count on my sisters' in-laws, but it won't work.

The family banquet is eaten in the evening, at noon are eaten in each courtyard, Yan Ming buckwheat is the first time to eat shrimp crawlers, this is more like a worm than a crab, but as long as it is peeled off, it will reveal the meat with a purple membrane inside, a big piece, and it is particularly enjoyable to eat in the mouth.

Different from the tenderness of the sweet fish of the shrimp, the shrimp crawler is chewy, the meat can be shredded, and some will have seeds inside, which is very different from the seeds of the crab, the crab roe is yellow, some are lumpy, and some are smooth, like eating the salted duck egg yolk with flowing oil, but the yellow of the shrimp crawler is the kind of hard one, purple red, dry and stunned, very delicious.

Sea crabs are bigger than river crabs, and the meat is fuller, probably because of the sea, when steaming, you don't even need to put salt to make it very sweet, break off from the last leg of the crab, connect a large piece of meat, and stuff it directly in the mouth, the crab leg can also be eaten, and the taste is ...... Chu Zheng said it was a bit like a grasshopper......

I didn't expect Chu Zheng to eat grasshoppers.

Yan Mingqiao had never eaten it, and it was hard for her to imagine that the crab legs would taste similar to that of grasshoppers.

However, considering that she even eats rabbit heads, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to accept eating grasshoppers.

Moreover, Yan Mingqiao also discovered that sea crabs and river crabs look different, sea crabs are like shuttles, but they are red after steaming.

Chu Zheng didn't eat crabs, it was too troublesome, and it was enough for him to eat pagoda meat.

Because Shen said that crabs were cold, Yan Mingqiao didn't eat one of them, but he ate several shrimp crawlers.

Yan Mingyu eats more, it's a big deal to drink a few cups of ginger tea, the sea crab is not easy to see, and if you don't eat it, you can't eat it.

In the afternoon, Yan Mingxuan came to the main courtyard and talked to Shen for more than an hour.

He came back yesterday, Qiu Yu was in early August, and he had already passed the exam, and it took three days, but to be honest, he was not sure, and he couldn't get in.

So after coming back, except for a trip to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, the rest of the time was spent in the house to read books.

The mother and son talked for a while, and Shen knew that Yan Mingxuan was motivated, but he persuaded him to put his body first, and he would become a relative in the future, so he couldn't study with all his heart and care more about his wife.

The Shen family didn't give Yan Mingxuan a room maid, he had asked before, but Yan Mingxuan said that he had to study hard, so he didn't do it.

The new daughter-in-law will enter the door next year, and now it's not good to get a room out, so be it.

Yan Mingxuan nodded, "My son understands. ”

Shen looked at his eldest son with satisfaction, whether it was Ming Xuan or Ming Ye, it was not bad.

Yan Mingze's homework is good, but he is too much like Yan Guogong, and Shen thinks it is not good.

Yan Mingze also hurried back this time, and after coming back, he first warmed the book, and on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many people in the house, and the house was in a mess, he couldn't read the book, so he went to see Meng Xiaoniang.

Yan Mingxuan didn't come back from the last holiday, but he came back and knew that his father had accepted a newcomer.

Although Yan Mingze is Meng Xiaoniang's biological son, he feels that it is natural for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it is not surprising that his father likes newcomers, who doesn't like young people.

Sometimes he annoys Meng Xiaoniang and chatters.

Yan Mingze asked her not to put her mind on the two newcomers, it is better to read more books by herself if she has that kind of kung fu, and it is the right thing to learn how to manage the shop and manage the accounts.

Yan Mingze is eleven years old this year, and he will marry a wife in a few years, and he really waits for the new daughter-in-law to enter the door, Meng Xiaoniang, who is a mother-in-law, is still jealous of others, and it makes people laugh when she says it.

Meng Xiaoniang said: "What do you know, what do you understand." ”

Two days ago, Yan Guogong came to Jinhuayuan, Yan Guogong is not a person who does not miss the old love, Meng Xiaoniang gave birth to three children for him, if he didn't like it, he wouldn't go to the concubine room like her.

After saying a few words to Meng Xiaoniang and giving some things, Meng Xiaoniang was coaxed, she really thinks that Yan Guogong's favorite is herself, otherwise how to find someone who is like her, some time ago, Yan Guogong was fascinated by the fox spirit, and it will be fine in the future.

Yan Mingze's heart is clear, because the newcomer is young, and his father likes it more. I went over there a lot, and I remembered Meng Xiaoniang's goodness, so I came here when I was full. There is a saying, after eating enough delicacies from the mountains and seas, you still want to eat porridge and side dishes, what can be represented by an occasional visit, nothing can be represented.

If it were him, he would be hanging, and the little lady cares more about her father.

Yan Mingze thought that he understood Yan Guogong's thoughts, and he felt that this time it was the little lady's fault, and he made a fuss like this for the sake of the two newcomers.

This is not to make trouble to the mother, but to the mother to have good fruit to eat.

"What do I know...... I know that Xinna's two concubines, my mother is the happiest, watching you fight, it's best to lose both, and my mother can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Meng Xiaoniang was not happy to listen, "What are they, they deserve to fight with me!" I gave birth to three children, and you also passed the Xiucai exam, what do they compare with me. ”

Yan Guogong is just greedy for a moment of freshness, and he will know where it is good after a long time. Meng Xiaoniang thought so anyway, she must not let Su Qiaohui conceive a child, otherwise she would share the family property with her son.

Yan Mingze: "...... You must be careful in what you do, don't leave a handle behind, and don't make my father hate me. ”

Meng Xiaoniang glanced in the direction of Luozhuyuan, with a bright hatred in her eyes.

Su Qiaohui is living at the end of Luozhuyuan, and it has been more than 20 days since she entered the door.

There are two maids around to serve, there is no small kitchen in the yard, and you have to go to the big kitchen to get food when you eat. However, Yan Guogong often comes over, so he takes good meals, four dishes and one soup.

Su Qiaohui asked the maid to inquire, and her food here was better than that in Qingyuyuan.

In the past, she couldn't eat meat, where was there four dishes and one soup, she couldn't help but think, the Guogong Mansion was really rich. When she came here, her wife gave her twenty taels of silver every month, and her grandfather came for ten days, and she got a lot of treasures, five hundred taels of silver tickets, and all kinds of jewelry. Some were brought by Yan Guogong when he came, and some were sent by someone early the next morning.

Su Qiaohui is originally from Suzhou, she is an ordinary peasant girl, and she has many brothers and sisters in the family, not as good as Ding Xingwang, who is from the Guogong Mansion, but there are seven brothers and sisters combined. The family is poor, Su Qiaohui rarely eats enough, her father and mother will marry her out, and then use the dowry to marry her younger brother to marry a daughter-in-law, otherwise she will not keep it forever, just want to sell it for a good price. If it weren't for someone from the Guogong Mansion, she estimated that she would have to be the ninth concubine for Zhang Yuanwai in the county seat.

She has seen Zhang Yuanwai, she eats well, her stomach is big, the flesh on her face is drooping down, her eyes are small, and she always likes to squint at people, and she is angry.

is also a concubine, Yan Guogong looks good, looks very tall, and is generous, Su Qiaohui's heart fell on Yan Guogong.

Always happily looking forward to Yan Guogong's coming.

She thought, isn't it true that Madame bought her back to make her a concubine, then she wants to give birth to a child, there is nothing wrong.

When she arrives at the Guogong Mansion, she is a person in the mansion, can she still stop the grandfather and prevent him from coming to Luozhuyuan.

In the past 20 days here, Su Qiaohui has also heard a lot of news, including Xu Xiuxin doesn't go out much, Yan Guogong rarely goes to her Qingyuyuan, it seems that she has been going for three days, and she hasn't been there since.

When Su Qiaohui didn't enter the mansion, she lived with Xu Xiuxin for a few days, this person was too wooden, it was difficult to talk to her, and she couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, so it was estimated that the grandfather didn't like it.

She also knew that the second girl fell into the water last year, and she was about to marry the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the marriage of the eldest son had been decided.

Jinhuayuan inquired about the news the most, and Su Qiaohui didn't inquire about other news, and the two maids were useless.

It is estimated that when there is a child, there will be more maids, Su Qiaohui decided in her heart that she must give birth to a child, anyway, Jinhuayuan is already old, and she will definitely not be able to compete with her.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Su Qiaohui learned the rules in the house, as a concubine, she had to serve the masters to eat, and the lady asked her to sit down before she could sit, and she did all of this.

Soon in the evening, Su Qiaohui changed her clothes and went to the banquet, she had not been out of the courtyard much after entering the door, so she went to the small garden and walked around, where she saw six or seven people pruning flower branches.

There are even six or seven people who serve flowers and plants, how rich is the Guogong Mansion.

It takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk from the Luozhuyuan to the front hall where the family banquet is held, and the road is a small road, embedded with smooth and translucent pebbles, and the two sides are surrounded by carved blue bricks, which can walk for two people.

Su Qiaohui brought a maid out, she looked at the well-tended trees and flowers, the beautiful arched verandah, and the brightly colored murals on the verandah, and felt a little untouchable, so many good things, it just didn't have much to do with herself.

The maid looked at Su Qiaohui and stood for a long time, afraid that she would miss the time of the family banquet, so she said, "Little lady, you have to go, otherwise the family banquet will be late." ”

Su Qiaohui came back to her senses, and she nodded, "Hmm." ”
