Chapter 106: Wealth Becomes a Pink Ticket 93o

Because Luo Zhensheng’s wedding is scheduled for October 22nd, I’m afraid it will be late if we set off on September 20th. Luo Zhenxing has Luo Zhensheng’s affairs at home, and Qian Ming has everything to do with her outside. Although the eldest wife is ill in bed, the eldest master is still

It was decided to return to Yuhang on the 20th, and Luo Zhenda from the third room accompanied him all the way.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang went to see the eldest man off.

Because they were going back to host the wedding, the Xu family not only gave the eldest man a hundred taels of silver as a formal gift, but also gave him a gift of three hundred taels of silver. Xu Lingyi himself took another one hundred taels of silver as a meeting gift to the bride. Xu Lingning and Xu Lingkuan

Then each gave sixty taels as a meeting gift. The second wife, the second wife, the third wife, and the fifth wife gave ornaments. The eleventh mother also gave a few more ornaments than the Taifu and others.

After returning home, Amber could not help but smile bitterly while holding the money box: Miss, I only have fifty taels and I will need to add another box to the seventh lady in a few days.

Eleven Niang was also very distressed.

The eldest wife didn't give her even a cent of the money for packing the box. On the day of her wedding, she received a lot of expensive jewelry, but she could only look at them but not touch them.

She remembered that Wu Yiniang twisted up the red gold bracelet and used it as a jewelry. Half joking and half serious, she said: If it doesn't work, let's use it as jewelry.

Amber's face turned pale: It would be terrible if someone discovered this.

Eleven Niang asked about Yang Huizu and Yu Lu’s wife.

Hu Bo hurriedly said: That man's name is Yang Huizu, and now he makes a living by bringing handkerchiefs and green flowers to the maids in the courtyard. I heard that Gan Laoquan, who was in front of the third lady, approached him and wanted him to help manage the kitchen. He didn't agree.

.His wife had a fight with him, and he slapped her twice in the face. His wife has been shouting that she wants to die every day for the past few days. Everyone in the group room is waiting to see the fun.

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned: Do you know why he didn’t go?

I don’t know. Hu Bo said, I tried asking, and everyone in the group room said that Yang Huizu was a man of few words, but very reliable in doing things, so everyone liked to ask him to help with anything.

Eleven Niang asked about Wei Lu’s wife: How is she?

Amber hurriedly said: I heard that I am very close to the eldest master's wet nurse. There is a rumor that she will be in charge of the laundry room in two days. Mother Cai, who used to be in charge of the laundry room, is now jumping up and down, extremely anxious.

Just pay more attention, Eleven Niang said with a smile, it’s just a good time to take advantage of this to see what everyone’s temperament is like. In the future, we will also know which people are suitable for where.

Amber nodded repeatedly, Tao's mother came.

The recipes that the fifth lady sent to the third lady include ordinary side dishes and some expensive dishes. Taking turns, they cost about one hundred and twenty taels of silver. I took a list to the eleventh lady, and I drew up one according to it.

See if it's feasible

Eleven Niang didn't answer, but asked her: How much money does it cost?

Tao's mother said: "It's about one hundred taels of silver. After all, one person in the fifth room has to eat and two people have to pay for it."

Eleven Niang nodded: Then draw up a list based on eighty taels of silver and report it to the third lady.

Tao's mother looked embarrassed: This is too low. In addition to the Madam and the Marquis, you are the oldest in this family.

Eleven Niang feels that Tao’s mother is too strong. Sometimes it’s a good thing, sometimes it’s a bad thing: Who can eat Buddha and jump over the wall every day?

Mother Tao knew that she was showing weakness, and after thinking about it, she realized that what she said made sense. She smiled, bowed and bowed, then went away, drew up the order again, and reported it to the third lady.

Another Wanyizong came to write her a reply: The farm with 500 acres is a sloping land, and the farm with 300 acres is a piece of sandy land. The distance between the two farms is only about ten feet.

Eleven Niang on the slope sand was very surprised: there was only a distance of about ten feet.

Wan Yi Zong nodded: In the middle is the field of a family named Liu. I also asked the original steward of the farm. This sandy land was originally planted with peanuts, and that slope was planted with dates. As he said this, he looked slightly uncomfortable.

, we grow paddy fields there. This is the first time I have seen this peanut and jujube tree.

Eleven Niang smiled bitterly.

Not to mention him, this was probably the first time I saw Liu Yuanrui and Chang Jiuhe.

After a long silence, Eleven Niang said: If I ask you to take charge of it, how certain are you that you can do it well?

Wan Yi Zong did not express his position and only said: I will do my best.

Eleven Niang had never been exposed to farm work, and she was still worried at the moment. She asked Mother Tao to discuss whether there was anyone good at farming in the family.

Matters on the farm are under the jurisdiction of the outer court.

There are several study rooms at home.

There is a large study room in the outer courtyard, a Ban Yue Pan in the back garden, a small study room in your house, and there is a study room in the third and fifth masters' rooms. The eldest young master and the second young master each have a study room.

Please help me see if there is anything about farming, something like Tiangong Kaiwu.

Tao’s mother nodded and asked several boys in charge of the study but couldn’t find any. One boy said: How can such a thing as farming be worth writing a book about?

Eleven Niang had no choice but to tell Wanyizong: Go take a look around and see what everyone is planting and how the harvest is.

Wan Yi Zong looked a little hesitant.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: If you have anything to say, just tell me. Three cobblers can still stand up to Zhuge Liang.

Wan Yizong carefully observed Eleven Niang's expression and said: I heard that the sandy land and sloped land originally belonged to the Liu family. The old man of the Liu family once served as an official and was exempted from land tax. But the old man died last year.

The income from the sandy land and sloping land was not enough to pay the land tax, so the Liu family sold the two pieces of land.

Eleven Niang had already guessed that the harvests from her two farms would not be very good, but fortunately she was not one to take detours in the face of difficulties.

You used to farm paddy fields. On the same piece of land, some people harvested 80 kilograms of rice, while others harvested 100 kilograms of rice. She looked at Wan Yi Zong and said calmly.

Wan Yizong looked stern and lowered his head: I will go around and ask around.

Eleven Niang looked satisfied.

Wan Yizong's face turned red and he hurried away.

Eleven Niang kept thinking about this matter that day, and occasionally appeared to be in a trance.

On the way back from Mrs. Tai’s dinner, Xu Lingyi suddenly asked her: Has there been any change in her mother-in-law’s condition?

Eleven Niang didn't know why he asked about this, and smiled and said: No. I sent Amber to check today and said that he can eat porridge now.

Xu Lingyi said nothing.

At night, Eleven Niang blew out the lamp and lay down. Xu Lingyi suddenly said again: I see you are worried, but something happened?

This is not something you can accomplish just by showing off your strength.

She told Xu Lingyi about the farm.

Xu Lingyi said oh, then lay down and fell asleep.

After Eleven Niang talked about it, she felt much better and fell asleep quickly.

Who would have known that not long after Xu Lingyi left the next day, Manager Bai suddenly asked for a meeting.

Eleven Niang was startled.

Is there anything Mr. Bai wants to see her for?

He had a vague feeling that Xu Lingyi had said something to him.

She invited Manager Bai to sit in the hall.

As expected, Manager Bai got Xu Lingyi's order to resolve the farm matter for her: The person in charge of the farm in our house is Guanshi Jia. He went to Tianjin to collect rent and will be back in two days. I will send him to you personally then.

Let’s take a look at the farm and discuss with you what to plant.

Eleven Niang politely served tea to the guests, and her mood suddenly lifted.

Although this farm is not good, it is my own after all. If I can have a good harvest, I can support several houses, and I will not be stretched too thin.

Now she is very short of money.

Amber was also very happy and told her excitedly: Madam, the time is exactly two minutes away.

It's time to go and say hello to the Madam.

During this period, Eleven Niang always arrived at Mrs. Tai's house a quarter of an hour before Chen Zheng. She also brought the list of people who stayed in Yuan Niang's yard as errands and those who were transferred to her own yard as errands.

When we arrived at Madam Tai's place, the Third Madam and the Fifth Madam had not come yet.

Mother Du asked her to go in first.

Eleven Niang refused: I’d better wait here.

Who wants to meet people with disheveled hair?

Mother Du couldn't help but nodded secretly when she saw it, thinking that Eleven Niang was a well-behaved person. She smiled and said: Mrs. Tai is old, sleeps little, and woke up early. She asked me to invite you in specially.

After hearing this, Eleven Niang followed Mama Du into the house.

Madam Tai was drinking tea on the big pillow when she met Eleven Niang and called Wei Zi: "Bring a bowl of sheep to Madam Four."

Wei Zi responded and went to bring the sheep.

Eleven Niang thanked her and drank it while enduring the fishy smell.

Mrs. Tai looked at it and laughed: You southerners are not used to this, but this thing nourishes people. She also told Mama Du to send her a bowl every morning from now on.

Mother Du responded with a smile.

The eleventh mother took the roster to the madam and said, "Please help me check whether it is correct or not."

The madam looked a little surprised when she looked at that word, and said with a smile: This word is well written.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: My husband always said that I was not delicate enough, but I didn’t expect that I would be praised by my mother.
