Little wealth

Although there was a wedding banquet at home yesterday, except for a few children, the adults were basically busy all day, not to mention sitting down to eat, and they didn't even have time to sit down and drink.It was very late when my family sat down to eat something, but at that time I was tired and hungry, and I was not in the mood to eat, so I ate something in a hurry and went back to the house to rest.

So when I saw such a large table of good dishes early this morning, everyone was really hungry. As soon as they sat down, they rushed towards the large table of dishes like a hungry wolf pounced on a tiger.The chopsticks in each hand were moving frequently, and the boys went to fill the rice bowl after bowl, and it was done after a few pushes.

There was no one grabbing food at the dinner table, but it couldn't resist the speed of everyone eating, and the food on the plate was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Brother, eat more, this meat is delicious, brother, you are too thin, eat more meat to gain weight." Sun Nian did not forget to pick up vegetables for Fu Lang who was sitting next to him while cooking. It is not slow at all.

Just after eating the last piece of meat in the bowl, Fu Siran looked at the extra piece of meat in the bowl, "..." He saw that there was no shortage of meat, but there were no people who had grown meat, so he felt that it was wrong to say this at all. letter.

Zhao He on the other side is also taking care of his husband.At a glance, you will find that the movements of the father and son are exactly the same. They don't talk much when eating, but they don't forget to take care of their husband.

While eating, Josh didn't forget to take care of his daughter-in-law who was sitting on his left. He also glared at some of his own boys who ate too fast, and used the serving chopsticks at hand to pick up a piece of fish for his daughter-in-law, with a gentle smile on his face. He said: "They eat faster, let's eat slowly, don't worry."

"Yeah." Fu Siran pursed his lips and smiled. It wasn't the first time he had dinner with the Zhao family, and he was no stranger to the Zhao family's appetite.

Seeing that the little husband next to him ate three big bowls of rice by himself, ate so many vegetables, and drank two big bowls of soup, his face was silent. I can afford this little husband who can eat, otherwise, relying on the meager salary of my little husband as an official, I won't be able to buy enough rice every month.

Like his little husband, there are also their father and several younger brothers, even the youngest Huan Huanxi is holding a big bowl of grilled rice by himself.

Sitting and eating with such a family, he felt that his appetite was better than usual. If he didn't pay attention, he would eat half a bowl more than usual, and if he was careful, he would be full.

***

After breakfast, they sat in the house with their elders for a while and received a lot of gifts.

When they were leaving, the housekeeper handed them a small box, Sun Nian handed the box to the servant behind him when they left the house, and walked slowly back to the yard where they lived together with his little brother.

The backyard of the entire Hou Mansion is very large, with pavilions, winding corridors, and lakes and rockeries in the backyard. The chrysanthemums are in full bloom in the yard, and several colorful butterflies are dancing among the flowers, attracting people's attention. their gaze.

The two of them stopped on the corridor for a while, admiring the flowers for a while before going back to the yard where they lived.

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, they had just sat down and didn't even have a sip of tea. The chief steward of the mansion brought several servants and brought several large boxes to them.

Looking at the big boxes, Sun Nian asked a little puzzled, "What is this?"

"Returning to your son, these boxes are the ledgers of our Marquis Mansion and the warehouse. The steward asked his servants to deliver them to the son and the concubine." The steward took out a key from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "There are also these keys. They are the keys to several of our warehouses, and the big housekeeper asked the younger ones to be handed over to the Crown Princess."

"Oh, let's put the things here first." Sun Nian asked someone to pick up the key, and asked him to hand the key to his husband directly.Fu Siran glanced at it, but still reached out to take it.

The senior official said yes, and went down with a few servants.

Sun Nian raised his hand and told all the servants standing in the room to go out. Looking at the big boxes, he opened one and saw that it was full of ledgers, "..." After looking at the other big boxes, even if he didn't open them, he knew that there must be ledgers inside.

When will I see the ledgers in so many boxes?

"Brother, if you can't finish reading, I can watch it with you." Turning around and seeing that Fu Lang was also looking at several big boxes without speaking, Sun Nian reached out and touched the tip of his nose, showing a flattering smile.

"It's okay, let me read it slowly. If I can't finish reading it in one day, I will read it for a few more days. There will always be a time when I can finish reading it." Although looking at the ledgers in several large boxes is a bit of a headache, is it really necessary to read it on weekdays? Did the little husband who came back from the Hanlin Academy accompany him to look at the account books and the housekeeper?Of course, Fu Siran can't leave these things that should be his responsibility to the little husband.

Just arrived at the Hou's Mansion yesterday, Fu Siran doesn't know many things very well, these things will not be clear until he gets familiar with and get used to them in the future, but he is not in a hurry right now.

"When will you go back to the Imperial Academy to go to court?"

"I took half a month's leave, so I can spend time with my brother at home." Sun Nian walked behind Fu Lang and helped Fu Lang squeeze his shoulders and back.

"You don't need to press me, just sit down." Fu Siran showed a helpless smile on his face, reached out and grabbed the hand on his shoulder, and asked him to sit back in the position just now.At this moment, he felt that with such a caring little husband, let alone looking at such a few large boxes of ledgers, even a few more boxes would not be a problem.

In fact, long before he was going to marry into the Hou's Mansion, he was already mentally prepared. The elders in the family were usually in Anyang. In a few days, when the elders were gone, the Husband and wife would live together in Nuoda's Hou's Mansion.He will take care of the affairs of the house sooner or later, so it's better to pick up these things as soon as possible, so as not to procrastinate and make a mess.

Other people are not as lucky as him. He can get the power of the house as soon as he enters the house, and he doesn't need to look at people's faces. The elders in the family love him, and the husband is also wholehearted to him. What else can he be picky about?One needs to know the blessings in the blessing, so as to be able to grasp the blessings in hand.

In the days to come, the two of them still need to live a good life together, so that they can live better and better.When the husband becomes an official in the court, he still has to take care of the general affairs of the family, so that there will be no chaos in the family.

At this time, Fu Siran couldn't help but think of his father and father. Without his father's support, his father's journey would not have been so smooth. He hopes that he can be like his father in the future, even if he can't help the little husband It's not busy, but it can't drag down the little husband's hind legs.

At this moment, a voice interrupted his random thoughts and attracted his attention.

"Hey, what's in this box?"

His eyes fell on the box on the table, and Sun Nian remembered that there was such a thing. A lock was hung on the box, and two keys were tied with a red string on the side, both of which were keys of the same lock.He untied the rope, took off the key, inserted the key into the lock hole and turned it, and the lock opened with a click.

There are three floors inside the box, the first floor holds the title deed of the house, the second floor holds the servant's deed of sale, and the bottom floor is full of bank notes.

"The title deed? The deed of sale?"

"Wow~ How many bank notes does this have?" Seeing such a grid full of bank notes, Sun Nian's eyes almost didn't fall off. He had never seen so many bank notes in his life, and he had an incredible expression Looking at his little brother, his eyes were bright, and he asked, "Isn't this the money of the entire Hou Mansion?"

The two looked at each other, needless to say, all the money of the entire Hou Mansion should be stored here.

Sun Nian counted it down, and there were a total of 28 silver bills, which probably belonged to the active silver in the Hou Mansion. He put the silver bills back into the grid, pushed them together with the whole box to his little brother, and said: "Brother here, you take this box."

"Well, then I'll take it. If you want money, just tell me, and I'll give it to you." Fu Siran unceremoniously took the box over. His father said that a man with money tends to go bad. The money in the husband's pocket is in his hands, so the husband can't go out and do bad things.

But as far as his little husband is concerned, he feels that even if his little husband has money in his pocket, he won't be as bad as him.

After thinking about it, Fu Siran still took out two bank notes and gave them to the young husband, "Then these two are for you to use."

"You don't need to give me so much money, and I don't need it." After entering the Hanlin Academy for nearly two months, he never went out with anyone else except for two dinners with his colleagues.

"I still get my salary every month." Sun Nian untied his purse from his waist, halfway through untiing it, he remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot. I was given 10 taels of silver notes, but I didn’t spend them all, and I kept them in the house, so I’ll go get them for you, brother.”

After speaking, he ran back into the house, came out with a small box in his arms, handed the box to Fu Lang, and said very generously: "Leave everything to my brother, you can spend it however you want. .”

A box was stuffed in his hand. Fu Siran opened the box and took a look. He took out the banknotes inside and counted them. It really was 10 taels of silver. His little husband was really too honest. I didn't know how to hide one or two, so I couldn't help but smiled and raised my head to look at the little husband, and asked: "You gave me everything, do you still need it?"

"Yes, I got my salary last month, and last time the housekeeper gave me several hundred taels of silver bills. I took out my money and bank notes, and there were hundreds of taels of pocket money!After thinking about it, he gave the few banknotes inside to his little brother, "Give this to my brother too, you take it, brother."
