Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Let's talk about everyone going back to their rooms, Jia Lian washed up, then leaned on the couch, unwilling to move, sighed: "It's still comfortable at home. I've been running around for half a year, and my legs are about to break. I really suffered."

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Second Master's words are just to coax others. I don't believe it. I have been happy and happy outside for half a year, why are you complaining instead?"

Hearing this, Jia Lian sat up, put her arms around her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Okay, why are you jealous again? I've been running around for Lan'er for the past six months. I don't have the time to find flowers and ask Liu. If you don't believe me, go ask Lan'er. With you, what else do I need others to do, these days I think about you in my day and dream!"

Sister Feng's face turned red when she heard the words, and she spat at him. Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she felt very sweet after hearing it.

Not long after, the wine and dishes came up from below. Sister Feng ate two cups of wine with her, and called Ping'er: "Go and boil a pot of good wine, and then pack up the things that the second master brought back, and give them to the masters and girls in each room." send them."

Ping'er understood, took everyone out, and closed the door.

The young couple talked about their farewell, and had dinner and dinner again. When Jia Lian talked about what he had seen and heard in the south of the Yangtze River, he suddenly remembered something and said to Sister Feng: "Guess what I saw in the south of the Yangtze River this time? Our sister-in-law is not The real person bought a house in Gusu without showing his face, and it is said that it cost more than 3000 taels of silver."

Sister Feng was slightly startled when she heard the words, and then she smiled and said, "What's so surprising about this, after all, the eldest sister-in-law is also from everyone, and she had a lot of dowry back then, and even though the elder brother left, he left behind a lot of self, Some family backgrounds are not surprising."

Jia Lian shook his head and smiled and said, "This is 3000 taels of silver. My sister-in-law's family background is more than what you think. I heard that there are two Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River. Although I don't know how big or small they are, they can earn a thousand taels of silver a year. There is the hot spring village in Xishan, I heard that they raise a lot of chickens and ducks, and grow vegetables, among other things, vegetables are the most sought-after in the cold winter months, and I can count the amount of money in a year, at least.” He reached out and made a gesture of three.

In the first half year in Jiangnan, Jia Lian inquired a lot of news. He was tactful and flexible. Although the popularity around Li Wan was tight, he finally saw some clues. industry.

It's just that only Li Wan's confidants know about the weaving and dyeing house, and Jia Lian doesn't know the details of the Zhuangzi.

The annual income is tens of thousands of taels of silver, I'm afraid he has already been tempted.

Sister Feng couldn't help being moved when she heard this, but she just thought of Li Wan's affection on a regular basis. After all, she suppressed her thoughts, gave Jia Lian a glance, and said: "My sister-in-law is always smart, and it is not a strange thing to make money well. Besides, that Zhuangzi is the queen." The empress rewarded you, so don't think about it."

Jia Lian couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, she glanced at Sister Feng curiously, and said, "We haven't seen each other for half a year, and our second grandma has changed her sex?"

Sister Feng has always loved money as much as her life, and the silver in the oil pan has been scooped up and spent, but now she is not tempted by such a large sum of money, it is really a miracle.

Sister Feng snorted, and said: "Who do you take me for? I'm not that shallow-sighted. My sister-in-law saves herself just for Lan'er's future plans. It's never easy for them to be orphans and widows. Treat me like that." And it’s great, if I even make up my mind about her money, I’m still a human? Besides, our Wang’s family is not a shabby household, so I don’t have enough things for my dowry? Sweeping the cracks on the floor is enough for you to eat!”

Although Sister Feng loves money, she is not ignorant of good and bad. Needless to say how Li Wan treats her, besides, although she has never read any books, she is not confused. Jia Lan is a fool, ignoring official career and economics. Jia Lan is talented and intelligent, and she was selected as a scholar at a young age.

After hearing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but look at Sister Feng with admiration, and hurriedly said: "I'm confused, Second Mistress, don't be upset."

Only then did Sister Feng turn from anger to joy, and after thinking about it, she said, "You and I know about this, as long as you know about it, don't go out and talk about it, there are a lot of people in this house. You know what to chew on."

Jia Lian hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a fool."

In the past few months, after Lin Ruhai's teaching, Jia Lian has grown a little bit, and he has a long-term perspective in seeing things. He is not just staring at money like before. He naturally wants to get what Sister Feng can think of.

The two ate food and wine again, and took a rest after washing up.

Before going to sleep, Jia Lian vaguely remembered something important that he seemed to have forgotten, but at this moment his mind was sleepy, so he quickly put it away and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Sister Feng got up early to greet Mrs. Jia Muwang, and then went back to her room for breakfast, but she didn't see Jia Lian, so she asked the girl, "Where is the second master? You invite him over, I have something to ask him."

Ping'er was coming in with the curtain lifted, and said, "Second Lord, one

He went out a long time ago, saying that the old man had something to do with him. "

Sister Feng let it go after hearing this, and said: "By the way, the old lady just received a post from Uncle Lin, saying that she will come to say hello tomorrow. Sister Lin is here tomorrow, and the old lady will definitely keep her for a few days. You ask someone to go." Clean up the Xiaoxiang hall, and prepare the curtains and blankets, and then go to the kitchen to give instructions, and clean up the tables and noodles tomorrow, and draw up the list of banquets in a while, and I'll see."

Ping'er agreed, and then said: "I don't know when Wang'er's interest money will be delivered. This month's monthly bill is still waiting to be distributed."

Sister Feng couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said with a sneer: "If you send someone to ask him, it means that if you don't send the silver, you will give it to him, and you don't need to send it in the future."

Ping'er agreed, and called a woman to come over and give orders, and then went out to pass on the message.

After eating a cup of tea, Sister Feng suddenly thought of something, and said to Ping'er: "When you mention the monthly bill, I think of something else. My sister-in-law has been away from Beijing for more than a year, and she still has the money for this year's monthly bill."

Ping'er heard the words and said with a smile: "not only the monthly payment of silver, but also the rent for this year's garden land, and the four seasons clothes and heads made by the officials. It's just jewelry. They are all stored there. Only the clothes are made. For this winter, I didn’t make clothes for spring, summer and autumn, how does grandma prepare them? Do I wait until next year or something?”

Sister Feng shook her head and said: "It's too late to rush to do it next year. I don't think you need to wait until next year. You can go to the storeroom to pick some good silk gauze, even though it's too cold to be used right now." Just take it as a supplement to the previous division among the officials, and don’t miss out on Danju and those girls, then pack up the silver and jewelry, and send them to the sister-in-law together.”

Ping'er hurriedly smiled and agreed, and the two chatted for a while before they stopped.

The words were divided into two parts, but it was said that Li Wan had a sweet sleep and didn't get up until the red sun was three poles.

Biyue asked someone to fetch water to come in to freshen up, and said with a smile, "Grandma sleeps well this time."

Li Wan rubbed his neck and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I slept so soundly, I still slept comfortably on the kang."

While tidying up the bed, Suyun said with a smile: "I also say the same, it's really too cold in the south of the Yangtze River in winter."

While talking, the little girl brought hot water, and after Li Wan finished washing, Bi Yue went up to comb her hair, and asked with a smile, "What kind of bun would grandma want to wear today?"

Li Wan said: "I don't want to go out today anyway, and I have to tidy up the house later. It's easier."

Biyue agreed, quickly combed a simple and elegant cloud bun, and took it out of the jewelry box.

A red gold silk hairpin inlaid with pearls and plum blossoms and two flowers on the hairpin.

Suyun opened the box again and took out a homely moon-white silk jacket, a silver mouse double-breasted jacket carved in stone and blue silk, and a sapphire blue brocade-trimmed cotton skirt to help Li Wan put it on, saying: "Yesterday, I brought back all kinds of soil from Jiangnan. The ceremony was given to each house, and the girls all said thank you grandma. In addition, the second grandma also sent someone to pass the news, saying that Daoxiang Village has been cleaned up, and two old mothers and four maids have been added; Clean it up, and you can move in today."

Hearing this, Li Wan glanced at the sky outside, and said: "It's a bit cloudy today, I'm afraid there will be snow, I'll move after breakfast."

Suyun smiled and said: "Sister Danju took someone to clean it up early in the morning. The boxes and cages we brought back from Jiangnan have already been sent to Daoxiang Village, and we are currently counting the things in the warehouse."

Li Wan smiled slightly when she heard the words, Dan Ju has always been considerate in her actions, and many things have been taken care of without orders, and was about to speak, when the little girl opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm here to greet grandma."

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Lan came in smiling and greeted Li Wan.

Li Wan pulled him up and saw that he was wearing a half-new arrow sleeve and a royal blue squirrel jacket over it, he couldn't help wondering: "How do you dress up like this today?"

Jia Lan said with a smile, "I'm going to move into the garden today. I'm wearing this suit specially, and I'll help mom later."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and said: "There is a rough envoy to move things. How can I ask my brother to do it himself."

Li Wan also couldn't laugh or cry, it's not good to dampen his son's enthusiasm, he rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "Brother Lang has such a heart, mother is very happy, I have to clean up the house in a while, you can also help me with the details." .”

Only then did Jalan rejoice.

Not long after the mother-in-law passed on the breakfast, Wutong came in with a food box, and put it on the small kang table, a large bowl of porridge made of green rice and milk, four side dishes, a plate of sesame oil mixed with shredded chicken, and a plate of eggplant, A plate of pickled melon, a plate of ham and winter bamboo shoots, a plate of tofu skin buns, and a plate of crispy rolls with creamy pine fillings.

When Jia Lan was growing up, she had a great appetite. She ate two bowls of porridge, a steamed bun, and two rolls. Li Wan only drank half a bowl of rice porridge with milk and two steamed buns with tofu skin.

After the mother and son finished their breakfast, Dan Ju had already counted the accounts properly, looked at the account book with Li Wan, and said: "Everything has been packed, but there are too many things. If nothing else, grandma's dowry has been piled up." A few houses, we rushed to Jiangnan last year

Well, the income from several farms and shops has not been confiscated. It's already November, so it's almost time to send it, and there's nowhere to put it.

Daoxiang Village is no bigger than our yard, if we take all of them there, I’m afraid there won’t be enough space, and grandma needs to get a charter for how to deal with it. "

After hearing this, Li Wan opened the account book and took a closer look. He saw nine boxes of gold, six boxes of silver, 460 bolts of silk and satin of various colors, as well as gold and jade decorations, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., adding up to fifty or sixty boxes and cages. This is not counting the various clothes, shoes and socks, and the books in the study, if they are all moved there, it will take up too much space.

Li Wan pondered for a while, then said: "Since that's the case, I have enough clothes anyway. It's all right to pack up some household items, and bring some gold and silver soft clothes." Thinking of this, he asked: "What should we bring to the south of the Yangtze River?" How much silver is left?"

Dan Ju was in charge of all these, and said hastily after hearing the words: "The money I brought was not spent much, and later I added the income from several farms and shops in the south of the Yangtze River. After deducting the money for buying houses and other expenses, I still have money now." There are one thousand eight hundred taels of gold and one thousand five hundred taels of silver.

In addition, there are 270 taels of gold, 880 taels of silver and several boxes of gold and silver curlies in the small warehouse of the Nuan Pavilion. "

Li Wan thought about it in his heart. He usually has food and clothing for officials. One or two thousand taels of silver is enough for several years. There is no need to bring too much silver into the garden. After thinking about it, he said: "Put 2000 taels of gold into the warehouse , there are two or three thousand taels of silver left, which is enough for us. Anyway, there are official regulations. In the future, there will be no need to touch the gold and silver in the treasury. In the warehouse."

After hearing this, Dan Ju also said: "I also mean the same thing, but we live in the garden, and there is no one watching here, so I am really worried."

Biyue and the others only know that Li Wan's body is rich, but they don't know how much, but Danju knows it all. Over the years, the Shantianzhuang shop has doubled, and now there are 10,000+ gold and silver in the warehouse , not counting other antiques and treasures, such a large amount of property, if left unattended, it is a bit worrying.

Li Wan hesitated when she heard this, Jia Lan hurriedly said, "Mum, don't worry, my wife told me yesterday that this yard is still reserved, and asked me to come and live here for a few days. Mom, why don't you keep a few reliable places?" The people here are here, with me watching, keeping everything safe."

It turned out that Mrs. Wang was reluctant to part with her grandson, and on the other hand, she also thought that in a few years, Jia Lan would be too old, and it would be inconvenient to live with her mother. In the future, she should have her own yard when she gets married. The upper room of the hall is close, and Mrs. Wang has long planned to leave it to Jia Lan.

Li Wan listened and pondered, nodded and said: "That's fine."

After the discussion was completed, everyone went to the Grand View Garden.
