Chapter 010: Can She Make a Fool of Her? Joke
The meat on the legs of mosquitoes is also meat!
What's more, more than a thousand taels of silver is a lot!
In ancient China, the silver of each dynasty corresponded to the "exchange rate" of the modern renminbi differently, and in Murong Zhuque's memory, he had seen some documents, and the literature was calculated by using rice as an anchor.
In the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver corresponded to about 4,000 yuan, one tael of silver in the Song Dynasty corresponded to 2,000 yuan, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty corresponded to about 1,000 yuan, and one tael of silver in the Qing Dynasty corresponded to 250 yuan.
Of course, this calculation is biased, because ancient and modern grain yields are different.
Even if you put all this aside and take the silver to a modern gold store and sell it, you can sell a lot.
Soon, the silver in the box was loaded into Murong Suzaku's own space, and there was not a single copper plate left.
After getting up, he closed the box and said, "Go, get a pen and paper and paste for the young lady." β
Chunliu was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to do with pen and paper?" β
"Make a seal," Murong Zhuque glanced at him, "The dowry belongs to Mrs. Ben, but the key to the warehouse is in your hands, if the dowry is lost, can you be responsible?" β
"But...... But there is a list of dowries! If you lose it or not, just look at the list. β
"What if the list is lost?"
"This ...... The young lady can take the list away and keep it for herself. β
Murong Suzaku smiled coldly and said with pity, "What if, the list has been tampered with?" Perhaps, now, already, tampered. The tone grew slower, with a conspiracy theory and suspicion.
Chunliu was startled, didn't care about any disdain, and hurriedly knelt down, "Young lady Mingjian, this key is kept by Mama Li on weekdays, and it has nothing to do with the slave maid, today the young lady wants to come to see the dowry, and Mama Li handed over the key to the slave maid." β
Despise illegitimate daughters to despise illegitimate daughters, but the rules in the house are dead rules.
If someone privately touches the master's property, not to mention the beating, the subordinate will be sold, and because the hands and feet in the previous family are not clean, they will not be sold to a good family.
The master wants to frame his subordinates, it's too good to frame him!
Murong Suzaku sneered, "So, it's obviously a simple thing, you have to make it so complicated, tell me yourself, who suffers in the end?" β
Chunliu trembled - yes, the young lady asked her to get a pen and paper paste, and she took it, so why bother kneeling and worshipping, the gains outweigh the losses.
"The slave knows it's wrong! Slave and maid, go and get it! Chunliu hurriedly got up and went to get something.
Why does Murong Suzaku have to make any seals?
The reason is very simple - she put the silver in the space, and the box didn't even have a lock, and when she turned around, Mama Li and the others came to take a look, and found that the things inside were gone, and they couldn't explain it.
She didn't want to expose her medical space.
Let's put a seal on it today, and wait for a chance to get a lock when I get back.
Soon, Chunliu brought a pen and paper paste, and Murong Suzaku cut the seal, wrote the date of sealing on it, and so on.
When I returned to my room, it was already after a stick of incense.
Mama Li and others are still there, and so is the son.
Shen Shizi changed into a navy blue brocade robe, his hair was neatly combed, and he was sitting at the table next to him eating breakfast.
There is a dining hall in the main courtyard, but Shen Ziyan didn't go, he deliberately asked his subordinates to take breakfast to the room to eat, just to watch Mama Li and them clean up Murong Sparrow.
Shen Ziyan took a bite of the bun fiercely, and then chewed hard, as if it was not a bun, but the meat of a sparrow.
Seeing the young lady coming back, Mama Li smiled and said, "Young lady, hurry up and dress up, it will be time for the tea ceremony in a while. β
The eyes of the maids around are not bad and embarrassed - hehe, the humble illegitimate daughter is also served by a maid? Isn't it just luck to be a young lady? They just want to see how bleak and shabby the young lady is when she combs her hair and puts on makeup!
Mama Li gave a look to Shizi, who was drinking porridge - Shizi, the old slave has avenged you, are you happy?
Shen Ziyan put down the porridge bowl, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, and wiped the corners of his delicate lips - of course, he will definitely reward it later.
Seeing the arrogant woman make a fool of himself, Shen Ziyan was so happy.
However, everyone was surprised to find that in the face of such humiliation, the young lady's expression was still full of indifference, and she did not go to the dresser to put on her makeup, but went out of the room.
The people were puzzled and followed.
Shen Ziyan's eyes flashed, and he also got up and followed, wondering what tricks this woman had.
Murong Suzaku went out and saw two second-class maids guarding the courtyard.
"Hey, you two," Murong Zhuque stretched out his hand, "Come in and put on makeup for Young Lady Ben, and each of you will be rewarded with two taels of silver." β
Wow!
The maids were in an uproar!
Two taels of silver for the last makeup?
They want to do it!
The two second-class maids were directly stunned, stunned in place, completely unaware of what was happening.
Murong Suzaku asked again, "What, you can't comb your hair and makeup?" The young lady went outside to look for it, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, the young lady still doesn't believe it, she will earn two taels of silver in the blink of an eye, and no one will want to do it. β
The two second-class maids reacted at once and hurriedly said, "Yes!" Willing! Young lady, slave maid is willing. β
Murong Suzaku smiled, "Okay, come in." β
With that, he turned and went back to his room.
The maids in the room are all first-class maids, but the monthly money is only two taels of silver a month.
They work for a month to earn two taels of silver, and the two second-class maids outside the door can get two taels of silver just by serving the young lady to comb her hair? And this beautiful thing?
A few maids didn't care about any sarcasm, and came up and said earnestly, "Young lady, let the slave maid do it, serving the young lady is the slave's business." β
"Yes, yes, slaves are the best at combing their hair."
Shen Ziyan was furious and glared at a few maids.
But the reward is in front of them, and the maids can't care about the face of the prince, and when they think that the second-class maid will earn two taels of silver by combing the young lady's hair, they are jealous.
Murong Suzaku looked at them and smiled, "You guys? Oh, let's talk about it, today Mrs. Ben is rare outside the door. β
Shen Ziyan winked at Mama Li and asked Mama Li to stop it quickly.
Mama Li received the order and raised her voice, "The two of them are second-class maids, and according to the rules, they can't enter the door to serve." β
Everyone was pleasantly surprisedβyes! As long as the second-class maid can't get into the room, isn't it?
Murong Suzaku's eyes were about to turn to the skyβwho were you fooling? As long as the master speaks, not to mention that the second-class maid can come in, the twentieth class maid can come in.
Just when the two second-class maids were disappointed, they saw the young lady walking out with a comb and hairpin, "Groom Mrs. Ben in the courtyard, you two are pitiful, but it makes Mrs. Ben feel distressed, one person will give four taels of silver, double." β
