Ji Man turned his head to look at her, shook his head and said, "Little girl, you have to know what it means to give up, and you can't bear to let the child trap the wolf." Aunt Zhao is a slave with status, and she doesn't have much money, how can she be willing to do things for you? We don't have high requirements, just eat something good, don't be cold or tired. The remaining one hundred taels of silver are enough for us to spend a while. ”

The alfalfa was still a little uneven, and I felt distressed for a long time with the silver, and then I turned around and hid it at the bottom of the cabinet.

"What did you ask her to buy?"

Ji Man picked up the embroidery needle and continued to embroider the handkerchief, and said slowly: "It's all very ordinary things, I wrote a list, and asked her to bring some in me every month, and use it to make some things, so that we don't have to worry about spending money." ”

Alfalfa didn't understand, but seeing that his master was confident, he didn't ask too much and helped embroider the veil.

Because Sang Yu is diligent, he handed over two handkerchiefs to Mama Liu every day, and within a few days, the aunts and concubines in the house all used new handkerchiefs, the mandarin ducks with their necks, and the lotus flowers with their necks, all of which are things with excellent meanings. In addition, Nie Sangyu is so good at embroidery, even Wen Wan can't put it down.

When Mo Yuhou was sitting at the table drinking tea, he saw Wen Wan pinching her handkerchief, carefully touching the pattern on her head and saying, "This kind of craft, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice it even if I practice it for a few more years." ”

Ning Yuxuan followed her gaze and looked at the veil, the lilac lotus flower bloomed just right, faintly, as if she could smell the fragrance.

That's all she can do. ”

Wen Wan raised her head and glanced at him: "I don't think Sang Yu's temperament is as embarrassing as you said, maybe there was something wrong before, but now she has become docile and well-behaved?

Ning Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh, Nie Sangyu married him at the age of fourteen, and after so many years of jealousy, who knows her temperament better than him?

When he was fifteen years old, he welcomed her, and when he first entered the mansion, Nie Sangyu dismissed all his former roommates, and he was angry, so she went to her mother to complain. Because of Nie Guifei's relationship and his mother's protection of her, he couldn't be angry.

When he was sixteen years old, Nie Sangyu had nothing to do, of course, he did it intentionally, and then welcomed Qi Siling as his aunt, and the jealous woman almost ruined Qi Siling's face. was stopped by him, and unrepentantly said that she was not wrong.

When he was eighteen years old, he greeted Qian Lianxue and Liu Hanyun, she cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and was sick for a month, causing the concubine to blame him.

When she was twenty years old, she met Mu Shuiqing, and she attempted suicide by swallowing drugs, which made the people in the capital see all the jokes and lose the face of the Hou Mansion.

Now, at the age of twenty-one, that woman finally made a fuss and lost her position as Mrs. Hou, and pushed Wen Wan up with her own hands. Now I'm afraid that I'm finally sensible, or maybe I'm secretly thinking about something in my heart.

If it weren't for his mother's forced marriage, he would have been able to marry this shrew? Originally, he was an idle and dashing marquis, because of this woman, he had not had a good life for several years, and now he finally locked her up in Siguo Pavilion, and he would not let her out easily if he was killed.

"For some reason, I think she's pathetic. Wen Wan sighed, put the handkerchief back into her sleeve, raised her eyes to look at Ning Yuxuan and said, "I'm also quite jealous that she has been with you for so long." ”

Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, hooked his lips and smiled very well: "Are you jealous of her? ”

Wen Wan glanced at him with disgust, and blushed slightly: "I didn't have the days when you didn't have it before, of course I would be jealous." But it doesn't matter, I'll be the only one in your world from now on. ”

Mo Yuhou stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, his chin against her forehead and said, "Before you, I didn't love anyone, and Nie Sangyu is nothing, you don't have to mind." ”

"Hmm. Wen Wan smiled and hugged him, and closed her eyes in reassurance.

Ji Man sneezed several times in a row, and tears came out of his eyes. sniffed and muttered, "Isn't it really sick?"

Suddenly my mood was so low, and I didn't know what was going on. She has never been a sentimental person, this is mostly Nie Sangyu's mood. It's still a little awkward to think that there is another person living in her body. But it's good, what's so low about her?

Someone knocked on the door outside, and Alfalfa ran to open it, and Ji Man heard the voice of a maid sounding crisply: "My master Qing likes the handkerchief embroidered by your master, and Ming'er will send two more to Feiyue Pavilion, which is not enough." ”

Alfalfa looked at the handkerchief in Banxia's hand, and her little face tightened: "Master Qing alone, how can it not be enough? You and I are both maids, can we also use the things embroidered by the master?"

Banxia is the girl next to Mu Shuiqing, and she has a virtue with her master, and she said arrogantly: "Slaves and maids are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and some masters are not as good as slaves and maids." This veil is rewarded by the Qing master, so we can use it. If you are dissatisfied, go to Hou Ye. ”

"You!" Alfalfa had a stupid mouth, and could only stare at her dryly.

Don't take such a bully, embroidering two handkerchiefs every day The master is already very tired, and she still has to embroider for these maids?

Ji Man came out listening to the voice, stood by the door and looked at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted: "Alfalfa." ”

"Master. Alfalfa ran back in a few steps, stood beside her and stomped her feet angrily: "They bully people!"

Ji Man looked at the maid at the door, probably his eyes were a little sharp, and he was so frightened that Banxia took half a step back. But thinking of what her master said, the little girl plucked up the courage to say again: "I have given a gift to Master Sang, our master's instructions have been brought, and Master Hou also said that there are no idlers in the house." You don't have to serve Hou Ye anymore, so you naturally have to do something else. ”

Openly and covertly, they mocked her for falling out of favor and being useless, so she was called by a minion. Ji Man snorted, still holding a freshly embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and asked Alfalfa: "Alfalfa, how is your master's craftsmanship compared to the embroidery girl in the first embroidery building in the capital?"

Alfalfa said very cooperatively: "It's not bad at all, the master's handkerchief is handed over, and the lady doesn't need to send it from the embroidery building." ”

Ji Man nodded: "How much silver is a handkerchief for the first embroiderer?"

Banxia's face was a little green, and Alfalfa glanced at her and replied, "Three taels of silver." ”

"Okay, three taels of silver, the handkerchief color line is from the house, and the manual fee is two taels of silver. Ji Man nodded with a smile, looked at Banxia and said: "Master Mengqing likes it, give her a discount, one or two pieces of silver, take the silver to pick up the goods, I will embroider as much as I want." ”

Banxia opened her mouth wide, looked at her for a long time and couldn't speak, stretched out her finger and pointed at the master and servant for a while, stomped her feet and left.

Alfalfa was happy: "The master is so powerful." ”

Ji Man waved his hand: "If Mu Shuiqing is an aunt, I won't embroider her without saying a word today." is a concubine like me, and she wants to bully me, but there is no good fruit to eat when she complains. ”

Alfalfa smiled, looked left and right, pulled Ji Man into the house, closed the door and said: "Don't forget, the master, that master Qing is the person who was given to Hou Ye by the prince, although she is a concubine, but Hou Ye will not punish her easily." ”

The prince, the backstage is so hard? Ji Man was speechless, he originally thought that Nie Sangyu had a hard backstage, but there was still one hidden here, no wonder he was so arrogant, and no one blamed her for talking in front of a few aunts, it turned out that there was a prince behind her.

But what is she afraid of? A tael of silver and a handkerchief can stand up to her words. The Hou Mansion doesn't raise idlers, does it? Is it possible that Nie Sangyu's labor value is only worth five taels and five dollars a month? Just embroider 200 handkerchiefs for them for free, and you still want to give them extra? No way.

Signaling alfalfa not to worry, Ji Man put the two handkerchiefs embroidered today, and began to prepare things: "Go and ask Aunt Zhao to find a few clean and unused pots and a small stove." ”

Alfalfa responded, turned around and ran out.

Ji Man thought about it, according to the plot development in the book, when the old lady returned, she could get rid of Si Guo Ge's masterpiece until she died. But she doesn't want to die, she still wants to live well, so it is very important to do a good job in the relationship between the upper and lower levels and settle down.

In the past, it is estimated that Nie Sangyu did a lot of immoral things, otherwise he would not be so annoying. So how to make up for it now, and try to get everyone to let go of their resentment against her?

The house slave and servant are too simple, except that money is money, give more benefits, and there is no hatred, such as Aunt Zhao. But the aunts and concubines in each room are not so easy to fool, and they have to put a lot of thought into it.

There are only two things that women care about, one is the face, and the other is the man. Although I have only met Mo Yuhou so far, Ji Man has no good impression of him, when the heroine must think that this man is very good, but unfortunately she is the second female, and the second female who was abused by the male protagonist to death.

So it's not okay to compete for her, not only don't fight, but also make Mo Yuhou hate her and hate her to death. The more Mo Yuhou hates her, the higher her chances of survival.

As for the face, she had to do an experiment, and if it succeeded, then at least half of her life would be saved.

But Alfalfa went and didn't come back for an hour. Ji Man sat alone in the room and waited, seeing that it was getting dark, and there was no movement outside.

Unable to sit still, Ji Man opened the door and took two steps outside, thinking about the rules of the Hou Mansion, it seems that people who are confined are not allowed to go out, otherwise the family law will deal with it.

But she's alone now, and if something happens to Alfalfa, she's really finished. Regardless of the rest, it is always necessary to find the person first, and it is better not to alarm the person above.

Thinking like this, Ji Man slipped out of the Siguo Pavilion against the wall. It's a pity that she doesn't know the way, she goes around left and right, and she doesn't dare to ask when she meets people, so she walks secretly for a long time, and finally gets lost.

In front of him was a good-looking courtyard, and Ji Man stood on the edge of the firewood stack in the backyard, thinking that it would be better to find an excuse to ask the manager where the money manager was, and let him go to find someone, than to wander around alone.

But just as he was about to climb over the wall and leave, there were suddenly many chaotic footsteps behind him, and the sky was getting dark, and the torches were lit. One of the house slaves at the head saw her in the backyard and shouted, "Here!"
