All-round way to money
Chapter 150 I've Been Transmigrated into Lin Daiyu 7
Summer is the time when the scenery of the Grand View Garden is the best.
Chu Ran has also gotten used to life in the garden.
Jia Baoyu said that he was studying in the garden according to his mother's order, but he didn't read any serious books.He is quite talented in writing poems and painting, but all of them have nothing to do with the imperial examinations, and they are not close to anything.The little girls from the poetry club go to the lake to paint scenery, and there is always him.Even without the curse, his temperament is in shape.Although under the persuasion of Xiren and Baochai, I can occasionally see the middle school of the university, but obviously I like eating, drinking and having fun more.After going out to study ethnology, I got to know people outside, and I didn't care so much about the girls at home, and I started to go outside often.
He always used the King of Beijing as a cover, and went to the Palace of the King of Beijing every now and then, or the King of Beijing was looking for it.In any case, neither Jia's mother nor Jia Zheng can say anything.
He stopped hanging out in the garden all day, so Chu Ran could play with his sisters more.Even occasionally matching a few lines of poetry, relying on Sister Lin's old foundation, she will not lose the chain.Because the tea she makes is good, the snacks are delicious, and she is not afraid of getting fat, the girls are also willing to study recipes with her and improve some snacks.It's the same as doing an experiment. Anyway, it's a rich lady with money and leisure. Reading and writing are pastimes, and eating and drinking are of course also pastimes.Whoever has a good idea and got a good thing must open a table to see who is free at home, let's try it together, Lele.If anyone makes a mistake, it will produce a strange smell, joking, running, and slapstick, no one will really take it to heart.
Chu Ran has gained a lot. At the very least, these ladies are really good at aesthetics.Make some snacks into paintings.
"Shall I discuss something with my sisters?"
On this day, they gathered together again at Baochai's place in Qiushuangzhai to chat and discuss the appearance of flowers. Chu Ran saw that Sanchun and Baochai were the only ones in the room, so he spoke.
"Sister, why are you so polite? Just say what you want. Could it be that we can't do it for you?" Baochai responded with a smile.
"It's not something important. It's just that there is a business for the sisters to earn some private money. I don't know if you have any interest?"
"What? Sister is such a noble person, why does she smell like copper?" Xichun frowned.
"Isn't this nonsense? You eat and wear every day, and there are so many people around you, so you can't survive? Think about it, if you don't have a child and a maid, what will you do?" You always say that you are a lonely ghost, but without this home, can you farm or chop firewood?What does it mean to not know the suffering in the world, that's it.
"So what, the big deal is to cut your hair and become a sister-in-law." For a cold-hearted person, becoming a monk is the most ideal destination she can think of.
But why didn't she think about it, "Don't you need to eat and wear to be an aunt? Then the aunt in the temple can really be detached? You have Tiekan Temple and Mantou Temple in your family, and there are monks and aunts. I asked Girl, what will happen if there is no one to take care of you?"
"It's cleaner to die."
"Yes. It's good to die. After death, everything will be clean. But those who are really willing to die, after all, are a minority. Most people still feel that death is worse than life. The fourth sister has nothing to worry about, and she can die clean , other sisters and sisters, would you like it? Anyway, I can't let go of this colorful world. Even if my parents are dead, I also think about it. , I also absolutely cannot let go of her old man. Although I am in the mansion now, everything is fine. I have an uncle to rely on, but I still think that my hands can be relaxed, and I don’t have to be so nervous when I prepare gifts at four o’clock, right? .”
Xichun couldn't hear it, Chu Ran scolded her for being heartless and ungrateful.She is also really cold hearted.She knew all about the dirty things in the East Mansion, and she didn't go back because she didn't want to dirty herself.In the West Mansion, it's not her home.Mother is gone, father doesn't care, it's almost the same as being gone.All he cared about was his own reputation.When Chu Ran said that, she cried angrily on the spot, but when others said her, she could scold her back.Even sister Lin said about her, but she couldn't refute it.Because no matter what, whether it is the East Mansion or the West Mansion, it is still the Jia Mansion, and she is still the girl of the Jia family.No matter how her father cared about her, she was still alive. If something happened to her, then the prodigal brother and sister-in-law couldn't completely ignore her for the sake of fame.But Sister Lin is really living in a relative's house, her parents are dead, she has no brothers and sisters, and she is really helpless.Such a comparison, isn't it worse than her situation?
"Oh, Sister Lin, look at your sharp mouth, and make the fourth sister cry. She always likes some Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, so she just casually said it, and she took it seriously. The fourth sister is also, but it is not allowed Keep talking about these things, why are we dead and alive, we innocent people, why are we dead and clean? Sister Lin has any good ideas, please tell me quickly. I don’t dislike people with a lot of money, earning 10 a month The two are good. During the Chinese New Year, I will give the master and wife a golden mountain." Tanchun came out to smooth things over.
"That's right, that's right, I am also that common man, and I despise those who have too much money. Sister Lin, a business that everyone likes to look up to, I think it is not bad." Baochai also laughed, Xichun said that copper stinks, and her heart Of course it's not happy, the Xue family is still an imperial merchant.Now I like Chu Ran two points more than before. I used to think that she was aloof and out of place, but now she looks much more kind.
Originally, Yingchun had nothing to do with herself, and it didn't matter to her whether she was noisy or not. She was only focused on her appearance, and now she couldn't help but talk, "What the hell is my sister talking about?"
Only then did Chu Ran take advantage of the situation to bring back the words, "A few days ago, Prince Zhongshun held a lotus banquet in the mansion, and he also posted a post for me. Is it not convenient for me to go. I asked Madam Lin to send some snacks to make up for it. A few days ago we just made a dim sum box of landscape paintings. It is said that the princesses still like it and find it novel. Yesterday, the disciples of Prince Yizhong's mansion came and said that they wanted to add this to the pastry shop, which is specially for the nobles Send it from the house. People also said that we don’t take advantage of us. We use prescriptions to buy shares and give [-]% of the members. It’s done by sending some pro-styles from time to time. I’m thinking, thinking of some new looks, it won’t delay us What, it's just a daily pastime. How much money can the pastry sell? It's only [-]%, not much after thinking about it. I don't have the nerve to talk about how many taels of silver a month. Just us sisters , just to earn some pocket money..."
This can be regarded as an explanation for why he only found a few sisters, did not tell the mansion, and did not bring Li Wan.Li Wan's family is really not short of money. The monthly bill is the same as the old lady's 20 taels. They also have their own land property shop. The income is several hundred taels a year, and the expenses are all kilometers. Woolen cloth.
As for Sister Feng, it's even more unnecessary, the housekeeper's wife, can you take a fancy to their scattered money.
In this way, several girls also think it is reasonable.
Only Baochai knew in her heart that this was not a few taels a month business, her family was an imperial merchant, so she didn't know that rich people made the best money.Especially with the back of Prince Yizhong's mansion, it was a business of sitting and counting money.How many taels?A few hundred or two or a few thousand are nothing.
But she only thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
"Should I call Baoyu?" Yingchun was simple-minded, still thinking about his precious brother.
"Don't don't don't, it's not like my sister doesn't know about those in his yard. Counting him, we can't do anything. At that time, we will be scolded by our wife if we say it. We want to do it, but we must not say it, who You can’t say anything. Even if you earn money, if you subsidize someone secretly, don’t say it. Sister, please remember. You can’t say it to anyone, let alone the people around you.” Chu Ran still had to scare her, just because she was afraid These two woods finally helped her earn some self-esteem, and made it easier for those blood-sucking people around her.
"Yeah, Second Sister, don't say it out. We don't even handle it, so we give the prescription to Sister Lin, and let Sister Lin help save the money when I earn it, and take it when I need it. You should also plan for yourself." Now, when you get married in the future, if you have someone you want, your hands will be lighter, and your life will be easier. Can you always expect that you will be the same as at home, regardless of everything, and someone will take care of you?" Tanchun is a worry Life.A few days ago, when Sister Feng was recovering from illness, Li Wan said that she took a few girls to learn how to be a housekeeper, but in reality she was the one who took care of it.To welcome the spring and cherish the spring are two decorations.
Er Mumu is not as stupid as before, it's just that she is too cowardly, if she wants to be hard, she won't.Her ears are still soft, and she thinks everything others say is right.But she was definitely not stupid, and she also knew that what Tanchun said was for her, out of good intentions, so she just nodded and said she had made a note of it.She is sixteen years old, and she is not engaged yet, so she doesn't think about it at all.
"Yes, yes, what my sister said is right. As long as we sisters know about it, we can't tell others. If it spreads out, we will have a bad reputation." Baochai emphasized again.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chu Ran said again: "Then it's settled. I'll send someone to answer the call. From now on, we'll give prescriptions on a monthly basis, twice a month. I'll reimburse everyone at the end of the month, and I'll send someone the money Find a safe bank to deposit, when the sisters use the silver, just go and pay, we don’t handle it, and we don’t prevent harm.”
Then it's nothing.They all thought it was just a matter of a few taels of silver, not a big deal.
It's like two copies of pastry flowers every month, like homework, has become a task that needs to be completed, and it's a bit stressful.I was still studying patterns and netting, but I put them away, and immediately started thinking about dim sum.
After all, they are still a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, how can they be less childish.
As for Chu Ran, because Tanchun mentioned Yingchun's marriage, she thought of Zhongshan wolf, no matter how stupid, no matter how poor the person is, there must be something to hate, no matter how hard it is to mention it, but she did not do anything bad , I didn't provoke anyone, an innocent girl like a flower, you can't just look at the fire pit and let her jump into it, right?
I asked a question while chatting with Sister Feng.Sister Feng's health has recovered, and she has started to be a busy housekeeper again. She is so busy every day that she is not as high-spirited as before.When Jia Lian suffered from such a disease, she and Ping'er cried for countless times behind their backs, and she felt more and more hopeless for her son.No matter how big my heart is, I can't lift it up.We can't let anyone know about that. Because of this, Jia Lian is three points short of her.I don't even dare to go out and fool around, and I don't have the capital to fool around.The couple is recuperating with small gourd water at home, I don't know how meticulous it is.It's only these days that she has seen some improvement, and her mood is also much better.Only then did I feel free to stroll in the garden.
When Chu Ran asked, she sighed. "Sister, did you think of our second girl after hearing the news of Yun girl's engagement? After all, her brother and I are not so wicked. After all, we are our own sisters, so we can ignore her? Your brother is outside I didn't pay less attention. But we are talking at home, as for the temperament of the second girl, she can't play with the big family. If the small family is not suitable for our family, the master and wife will definitely disagree. It’s not about killing someone. If you really don’t care about her, and just go to the high-ranking family to get married, just watch, I’m not sure how to torture her.”
This is really true, thinking about it, Chu Ran also feels quite sad.I used to read books and said that no one cares about Yingchun. In the end, I sold 5000 taels of silver to Zhongshan Wolf and was tortured to death.But how old was she then?How much room to pick?Just for the sake of Yuanchun's face, the Jia family couldn't keep a girl until she was seventeen or eighteen years old.If it is said that the high is not enough, the low is not good, and I have not picked the right one, it makes sense.As for some people who said they wanted to send her to the palace as a concubine to help Yuan Chungu favor him, that would be pure nonsense.With Er Mutou's temperament, send her into the palace?No matter how stupid the Jia family is, they are not so stupid.
"Is Smith engaged?"
I haven't heard of this.
"It's settled. I decided on a surname of Wei, and I didn't ask which family it was. Now I'm preparing for marriage at home and learning the rules. I thought you heard about it. Then why did you suddenly mention the second girl's marriage? Who said it?" What's up?"
"It's my mother who has been nagging in my ears recently. Whose daughter is preparing to marry two years in advance, and how much dowry is prepared for the daughter's family. She keeps nagging me that I won't let you use any good things you get. Keep it. Oops, my ears are almost slanted, and my brain is also affected by her. Today, the sisters are playing together, so I remembered it. Just ask the second sister-in-law, anyway, this question can’t be asked Auntie." Chu Ran casually found a reason.
Mother Lin has also been doing it lately, constantly chanting.In another six months, her filial piety period will be 27 months, and it's time to be filial piety.After getting rid of clothes, it will be her 15th birthday, and she will become an old girl if she is not engaged. She is not in a hurry.Expressed and hinted, he wished he could run to Jia Mu by himself, so that he could give a quasi-letter letter as soon as possible.
Of course she wasn't in a hurry, when she was out of filial piety, the Jia family's three affairs and two affairs began to go downhill.National filial piety and family filial piety have many things to do.She is not far from freedom.Besides, it's useless for her to be anxious.Jia Baoyu couldn't marry by life or death, and if Mr. Xiao didn't come, of course she couldn't marry anyone.It's for Sister Lin herself, it's okay to get engaged, but it can only be used to help with investigation and investigation. Wancheng has not left after she got married, which is a troublesome thing.
However, Sister Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with Mother Lin's thinking, "An old man in a family is like a treasure. Mother is an old man with a long history, and her life's experience can never be wrong. Don't listen to my younger sister. But... let me ask you, you Give me an accurate word, are you really unhappy with Brother Bao? It’s not that I sell flowers to praise the fragrance of flowers, and Brother Bao pities the fragrance and cherishes jade. The old lady is also easy to talk to..."
Although the old lady said that she was still more willing to have the two Yu'er together, she was not as enthusiastic as before.On Sister Lin's side, she hid again, and she didn't mean anything at all.The wife has always been thinking about it, and she is absolutely displeased with Sister Lin.She can also draw a soul in her heart.He also owed sister Lin a favor, and he didn't know how to pay it back.
Chu Ran looked at Sister Feng like a fool, "Second sister-in-law is really a sister-in-law who can boast so much. I'm not afraid of your complaints, just ask second sister-in-law, what else does he have besides pity and love? He can support the family Do you live? I am an orphan girl without father and mother, and I don’t have the ability to be a sister-in-law. Is it possible that I have to support the family? Even if the sister-in-law can do it, isn’t the second brother Lian supporting the outside affairs? It’s not easy to say Yes, in the future... he can still rely on his brother and sister-in-law to support him for the rest of his life? After being separated, how can he live? I don't want to be appointed as the emperor, Feng Guanxia, I can't rely on it as a dowry to support a big family than the master A servant who can still show off? Even if it’s farming and carrying out labor, I will find someone who can support the family. But I can’t find it. I have a family by myself, and I can’t live because of the body left by my parents? Why do you want to live with a big burden? Even if the wife is powerful and can count a title, she still has the eldest son and grandson, who can fall on the head of the second master? I am stupid, running after him? "
Speaking of this, Sister Feng still cares how much Chu Ran dislikes Baoyu.At the moment, her mind is full of thoughts, can her elder brother support her younger brother for a lifetime?When the old lady is away, can the first room and the second room not separate?The family is separated, and Lian Er and Baoyu are cousins, and there is no cousin to support the cousin for a lifetime.Also, the title thing.Chu Ran's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to her. In the past, she only thought that relying on her mother, maybe in the future, the family's grace and title would not fall to others, and it must belong to Baoyu.Does not affect your title.But think about it now, yeah.The second room has an eldest son and grandson, and Lan'er has grown up.Even if there is a title, it should be the eldest son and grandson. The order of the elders and the younger should not be messed up. Could it be that Brother Zhu is not the mother's direct brother?If the wife wants to calculate a title for Baoyu, doesn't it have to be her own?My family has no son now... Huan'er is a bastard again...
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is too great.If it was for Baoyu, the old lady must have 1 wishes.
No, no.I have to go home quickly and discuss it with Lian Er. Aren't the two of you being treated like fools?Thinking about it again, what Chu Ran just said might mean that she was allowed to support the family as a dowry.Didn't that just tell her about her current situation?I just became a gold collar a few days ago, and I pawned 300 taels for my family.Isn't it just a slave who feeds a family that is bigger than the master's son?Whose family will lose the nest of ancestors in Yihong Courtyard?
"I understand what you mean. I won't tell you anything in front of the old lady in the future. I still have something to do in the yard. I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Sister Feng left in a hurry.
Chu Ran ignored her and went fishing leisurely.
The broken-down car in Jia's house is enough, and the big ones are pulled out of the box. If it weren't for the fear that they would stick to me in the future, why bother to drag Lian Er and Sister Feng together?Isn't it because it's useless to pull others.Still the same sentence, in this world, there are no men outside to do things, and women stay in the deep house compound, and their great abilities are useless.But these men from the Jia family, one counts as one, what kind of quality are they all?The masters in the East Mansion were committed to death.In the West Mansion, Jia Amnesty, it's all over.Jia Zheng?The heart is quite high, but the ability is not.The most important thing is that both of them are really ruthless.Go a little further, Jia Baoyu, not an ordinary thing.Jia Huan, let Aunt Zhao's teaching be abolished, and Mrs. Wang deliberately raised him to be abolished. Let him be the head of the house, that must be running in the direction of Jia Rong.Jia Cong, a character who has no sense of existence, still plays with Jia Huan in his hometown.These, how to promote them?Come to think of it, I still don't know what it looks like.Pull it all over, that is, Jia Lian, except for the knife on the head of Sezi, he has ability and sympathy, and he is not completely heartless towards the younger brothers and sisters below.
There is also a problem of greed for money.He is greedy for money in order to show off.He has no capital for sex, or dare not go to sex anymore, and the family is defeated, and there is no place for him to be greedy. People with a bottom line are better than prostitutes.
In the future, the day when Jia's mansion will fall, the girls in the mansion, the innocent servants, the innocent Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who can they point to?Sister Lin's identity is here. If the bone is broken and the tendon is broken, can she just ignore it?Tube?What to do?It is only natural that Jia Lian takes care of it.If it was Sister Feng in the past, she might have refused to save her. Now that she has been hit a few times, she probably won't.
There are a few affectionate and righteous people in the side branches, but they are side branches after all, they can take care of one or two, can take care of specific objects, can they take care of everything?impossible.People like Grandma Liu are hard to find in the world.It is said that Jia Yun has a friendship with Xiaohong, but he didn't do what Grandma Liu did.
So, it can only be the couple.
Now I have helped my sisters save a little private money, so in the end, I won't be helpless.Does Xichun still think about becoming a monk and becoming an aunt?You have to have that fate too.What should I do if I sell Hualouzi?If you want to become a monk, you have to redeem yourself first, right?A little girl who doesn't know the world, always thinks things are so simple.At that time, I didn't see you dead and clean.
There is still time, let's grind it slowly.
Only then did I think of Grandma Liu, no, I saw a real person.
The last time Grandma Liu came to the mansion, sister Lin went back to Yangzhou, so she didn't see her.
This time, I didn't miss it at all.I met the famous old lady with super high emotional intelligence.
Someone from the Zhuangzi sent a big crab, and it happened that the osmanthus was in full bloom. The sisters just read the past month's accounts, and each of them could share 28 taels of silver.Chu Ran conveyed the words of the manager of the shop, this is just the beginning, and the peak season is the year after year.One by one, it was the first time that they earned a year's monthly allowance by their own ability, but they still felt uneasy just looking at the account, and after all, each of them paid two taels, saying that they would hold a crab feast.With so much money, there is no need to make excuses.If you want to do it, do it, and celebrate it when you are happy.
Sister Feng and all the girls are here, so it's fun to have a lot of people.It's just that Sister Feng didn't stay for a while, she ate two crab legs, joked for a while, and was called away by the women.After Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue came, they had tea, wine and jokes.When Jia Baoyu also came over, he was composing poems again.Chu Ran also followed suit and made a song.
When Ping'er came to ask for crabs and said that Sister Feng would bring them back to eat, Li Wan took the maids to pour her wine, and a group of people even commented on a big girl.After talking about Yuanyang, Caixia and Ping'er, they went over to Xiren.Li Wan also talked about the housekeeper, saying that Jia Zhu also had two housemates at that time, which she could accommodate, but the two housemates were uncomfortable, so she sent Jia Zhu out once Jia Zhu died.She also sighed that as long as there is one who can hold on, she also has a helper.
Chu Ran wanted to say what he said.This is the same as when Sister Feng was joking with Yuanyang just now, saying that Lian Er fell in love with Yuanyang and wanted to ask the old lady to take her back to be a concubine.Lian Er's lust is gone now, and she's starting to talk about begging for this one today and that one tomorrow.Li Wan is not the same, can he tolerate others?Just her?You can pull it down.If it is sold, it is said that it is sold, and they want to save the rations of two people, but they also say that they can't keep it.You take over everything.
She just took it for fun.She can't eat crabs, and she doesn't drink meat, and she only drank a little fruit wine.Looking at the noisy scene in the yard, it is also one less time.
Ping'er had just left with the crab when Sister Feng came.Said that Grandma Liu came and brought melons and fruits that had just been picked.As soon as Jia Mu heard that he was a long-lived old man, and also heard about the previous relationship, she knew that this was a kind person, so she asked her to come and see her.
It was a weather-beaten, thin old lady in coarse linen.His hair is half white, and his face is dark like the unclean one that he often works in the fields.The hands are also rough, with calluses, and chapped cuts that have never died.The clothes look old, but they are clean, the shoes are old, and the uppers and uppers are clean.She is a very neat old lady.With a smile all over his face, he was astonished, nervous and cautious as if he had entered the palace.It is also inevitable that there will be a little innocuous ugliness.Mother Jia asked Grandma Liu who had fallen to get up, and told everyone not to make fun of her.He is also very kind to Grandma Liu, very approachable.This is indeed the shining point of Jia Mu.She didn't look down on village women like Grandma Liu, let alone make fun of them.In saying that, it is also the routine of old sisters of the same age talking about ancient parents, without airs.In addition, Grandma Liu's emotional intelligence is indeed high, and she can tell stories and talk with winks. She knows very well what the old lady likes to hear and what she likes to hear.They can all get to the point.Naturally made the old lady happy.
He had to stay for two days and take her around the garden.
After the crab feast was over, Ping'er took Grandma Liu back to their yard and arranged for Grandma Liu to live.Chu Ran made a special trip with someone.Such an old man, without any reason or purpose, is also respectable.
"Usually, I only read about farming in Commencement and Opening Things, so I want to ask grandma in detail." Chu Ran used this reason to explain the matter.I asked Grandma Liu about the farming work of planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, what kind of food is often grown in the field, how many stones can be drilled per mu, how much is the harvest, how much is the rent, and whether the tenants can eat enough.There are also questions like how the oil is squeezed out, and how the rice is ground. I asked them all, and they were completely in the state of a deep house lady who didn't understand anything.
After chatting for an hour, Ban'er fell asleep before leaving.
Ping'er has been with her all the time, and when she went out, she was dragged to Sister Feng's courtyard, and she would not let her go until she had to have two drinks with her.
"Why did my sister ask about things in the field? But are you looking for any ingredients?"
Sister Feng thought that Chu Ran must have seen some weird food in the recipe again and wanted to make it.
"That's not true. You know, didn't you save the mother and child last year? Sister-in-law Zhang's body has been raised, and the mother and three insist on staying as slaves. The two boys are not idle at home every day, competing for work. I don’t need so many people in my family. There are also those little beggars who are testing medicines. They are always watching by the garden, sweeping the bottom of the wall clean, looking very pitiful. I am not I thought, if I can buy a hundred or eighty mu of land, or one or two barren hills, I can house these people. It can be regarded as setting up a little family business. I only thought of it when I met Grandma Liu today. Sister-in-law, do you think Grandma Liu is trustworthy? Can she help with this?"
"Hey, what's the matter. Don't dare to say anything else. I can't be wrong when I look at people. Grandma Liu is a kind person, so I can't be wrong. But sister, if you want to buy Zhuangzi, do you still need someone else? Your family How much backer does Lin Chao and Lin Mu have? Why can't we do it? Even if you tell your second elder brother Lian, it's only a matter of one sentence."
But don't, I really can't afford the favor of your family.
"Is the power of the Prince's Mansion so easy to borrow? I don't dare to take advantage of favors that haven't been paid. Besides, it's a matter of a hundred acres of land. Is it worth troubling Lian's second brother to come? I was also thinking, In the future, if there is anything you don’t understand in the field, Grandma Liu can help take care of it, and it’s convenient for her to keep her house on the ground.”
Sister Feng thought about it, yes.Even if you send someone to buy it yourself, can you always send someone to help take care of it?
"Before grandma leaves, be sure to take her to my yard." Before leaving, Chu Ran told Ping'er.
Going to the garden the next day is naturally very lively.With the help of Chu Ran and Sister Feng, they didn't make fun of Grandma Liu.Just talking and laughing normally, the old lady has been coaxed very happy.Also visited most of the garden.From Chu Ran's point of view, the only thing that is not beautiful is going to Miaoyu's for tea.This restless nun seemed a little too deliberate.That set of false cleanliness rhetoric is even more unreasonable.She didn't take a sip of the tea.The teacup used by the ancients hundreds of years ago?Who knows how many people's hands have passed, what's so good about it?Still despise Grandma Liu for being dirty?People's souls are many times more noble than yours.Again, he used what he used to use for Baoyu, so that the hookup was not too obvious.It's still in front of the girls, and there's no shyness at all.And those who only recognize those rich and noble decorations, the heart is too heavy!
It's not perfect, it's all good.Even Jia Baoyu knew not to provoke her.It's just too good to be true.
"I can't live in a house in my family. Some people need to be resettled. I want to ask my grandma to take care of it. I can help you buy some wasteland and jade around your house, as long as there are places where people can live."
Before Grandma Liu left, Ping'er deliberately took her to the courtyard where Chu Ran used to live, and the car that sent them off to their grandparents was parked at Jiaomen'er.The old lady and the wife gave things and money.Yuanyang and Ping'er also took things.Sister Feng prepared half a kang for her.All kinds of things are worth two or three hundred taels of silver, and they are full of cars.Of course, Chu Ran couldn't ask others to do things in vain, so he took 300 taels of silver and some fine cotton cloth, which was not as good as those brocade and silk ones, but practical.She only talked about things when the servants were moving things.
Grandma Liu was so grateful, she didn’t know how many times she recited Buddha’s words and worshiped. When she heard that Chu Ran wanted to ask for something, she was happy, “Look at what the girl said, what can I ask for? What else can I buy?” Land, there are a lot of vacant houses in the village, and Ban'er's father can talk in the village. Just build a house and live in it. The family sells fields and land, we locals, believe me quickly, you can buy a hundred or ten acres, not to mention the mountains, the few barren hills around the village are ignored, but on the mountains, you can’t grow The field is the stone mountain. There were many gardeners in Beijing the year before last, so the mountain was bought by people to pick stones. When it was used up, it was just thrown away. It’s useless just to buy it? Can you still repair the garden?”
That is not easy.
"Then please help me buy it? This is Xueyan. Let her take someone to find you in a few days, okay? It doesn't matter if the stone mountain is there. I just want to plant some fruit trees, and I don't need to look after them. I want to grow some sun-dried fruits like apricots, dates, pears, and peaches to make snacks and fruit wine. I count as much as I charge. I have to find some livelihood for my family, don’t I?”
When she said this, Grandma Liu understood.It is to support people with the land.I knew how to arrange it in my heart.
With a large area of land, Fengshan and other small people can’t do anything about it. If the small ones come and go, can the barren hills have nothing to do?
With so much money this time, she will buy land and land when she goes back home.At first, I didn't think about buying a mountain to plant trees, but it happened that, taking advantage of the east wind in the mansion, I also planted some fruit trees.
After thinking it over, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly.Chu Ran also took some commonly used and cheap medicines that claim to be daily-use medicines tried by the little beggars.It is much more practical than those given by Yuanyang.There are prescriptions for those medicines, and the medicinal materials are expensive, which is also a burden.
After sending Grandma Liu away, Chu Ran asked Lin Ping's family to take the snow geese back to the garden, and told the old housekeeper about it, so that someone could be arranged.
For such a long time, Lin Cheng has never bought a real estate shop on his own initiative, and never used the power of Prince Yizhong's mansion to do anything.Lin Chao and Lin Mu did well in the two errands, and they became more and more valued by Prince Yizhong.Although he was not sent to be a steward in the mansion, he brought Lin Chao by his side and acted as a military general.
This time, Chu Ran borrowed Grandma Liu's hand to settle Zhang's mother and son and those little beggars, and the old housekeeper also thought it was good.At Prince Yizhong's mansion, we have to save up for it.In his heart, he wanted to wait for the girl's filial piety to pass, and try to see if he could ask the prince for help to arrange a good marriage.Of course, you can't go to the palace for these trivial matters.If you do good deeds and help others, you can't stop it. The girl has a kind heart, and she doesn't just blindly understand everything. Giving money lavishly is to help find a living. If there is anything she can't help, it's a good thing to build a reputation. Son, when a girl talks about marriage in the future, won't this be a bonus for her conduct?With five disadvantages and three deficiencies, the fate is not very good, so there must be other advantages to make up for it.
Therefore, it is very carefully arranged.It was Lin Ping who personally brought people over to do it.Grandma Liu is also capable, and Ban'er's father, Wang Gou'er, is not nothing, and being able to help Zhou Rui buy land shows that he can indeed talk in the local area.Things went well.
When Chu Ran received the dim sum shop’s second reimbursement, Lin Ping’s family told her that they bought 230 mu of land and two barren hills, bought a house in the village of Wang Gou’er’s house, and built a yard with three entrances. , together with the grain seeds for the coming year, the saplings and the manpower for digging tree pits in autumn, we did not spend a total of 3000 taels of silver.
The house is an ordinary village house, and there is no such thing as a brick and a big tile.Build fast.After the construction is completed, the Zhang family's sister-in-law and her two sons will take care of it. Their family used to do small business and has management experience.Then send the little beggar who is willing to go there, along with the consumption of firewood, rice, oil and salt.Before there is output, it has to be raised at home.Chu Ran asked Grandma Liu to bring another hundred catties of cotton, enough for her grandchildren.
Lin Ping's family also told Chu Ran that Sister Feng also asked her grandma to help buy two hundred acres of land, which was bought with her own private money and not included in the government's public account.The people who were sent to take over were Xiaohong and Jia Yun. I don't know when Jia Yun was accepted.Even Xiaohong didn't accept it at the time in the book. When Chu Ran came, she was waiting by Sister Feng's side.
The land is good, Chu Ran thought, whether to mobilize the couple more in the future, and buy more property in private.The more property they have, the less pressure they will have to support their families in the future, and the easier it will be for themselves.
They will definitely not put the privately owned land under their own name, even if the house is confiscated, they will not be able to confiscate it, that's great.
Make up your mind and just wait for the right time, not something to be done in a hurry.
When it came to the little sisters, in the second month, a full 83 taels of silver was allocated to each of them, and they were all stunned.Is it so profitable?
"Now the flowers and plants are here
Chu Ran has also gotten used to life in the garden.
Jia Baoyu said that he was studying in the garden according to his mother's order, but he didn't read any serious books.He is quite talented in writing poems and painting, but all of them have nothing to do with the imperial examinations, and they are not close to anything.The little girls from the poetry club go to the lake to paint scenery, and there is always him.Even without the curse, his temperament is in shape.Although under the persuasion of Xiren and Baochai, I can occasionally see the middle school of the university, but obviously I like eating, drinking and having fun more.After going out to study ethnology, I got to know people outside, and I didn't care so much about the girls at home, and I started to go outside often.
He always used the King of Beijing as a cover, and went to the Palace of the King of Beijing every now and then, or the King of Beijing was looking for it.In any case, neither Jia's mother nor Jia Zheng can say anything.
He stopped hanging out in the garden all day, so Chu Ran could play with his sisters more.Even occasionally matching a few lines of poetry, relying on Sister Lin's old foundation, she will not lose the chain.Because the tea she makes is good, the snacks are delicious, and she is not afraid of getting fat, the girls are also willing to study recipes with her and improve some snacks.It's the same as doing an experiment. Anyway, it's a rich lady with money and leisure. Reading and writing are pastimes, and eating and drinking are of course also pastimes.Whoever has a good idea and got a good thing must open a table to see who is free at home, let's try it together, Lele.If anyone makes a mistake, it will produce a strange smell, joking, running, and slapstick, no one will really take it to heart.
Chu Ran has gained a lot. At the very least, these ladies are really good at aesthetics.Make some snacks into paintings.
"Shall I discuss something with my sisters?"
On this day, they gathered together again at Baochai's place in Qiushuangzhai to chat and discuss the appearance of flowers. Chu Ran saw that Sanchun and Baochai were the only ones in the room, so he spoke.
"Sister, why are you so polite? Just say what you want. Could it be that we can't do it for you?" Baochai responded with a smile.
"It's not something important. It's just that there is a business for the sisters to earn some private money. I don't know if you have any interest?"
"What? Sister is such a noble person, why does she smell like copper?" Xichun frowned.
"Isn't this nonsense? You eat and wear every day, and there are so many people around you, so you can't survive? Think about it, if you don't have a child and a maid, what will you do?" You always say that you are a lonely ghost, but without this home, can you farm or chop firewood?What does it mean to not know the suffering in the world, that's it.
"So what, the big deal is to cut your hair and become a sister-in-law." For a cold-hearted person, becoming a monk is the most ideal destination she can think of.
But why didn't she think about it, "Don't you need to eat and wear to be an aunt? Then the aunt in the temple can really be detached? You have Tiekan Temple and Mantou Temple in your family, and there are monks and aunts. I asked Girl, what will happen if there is no one to take care of you?"
"It's cleaner to die."
"Yes. It's good to die. After death, everything will be clean. But those who are really willing to die, after all, are a minority. Most people still feel that death is worse than life. The fourth sister has nothing to worry about, and she can die clean , other sisters and sisters, would you like it? Anyway, I can't let go of this colorful world. Even if my parents are dead, I also think about it. , I also absolutely cannot let go of her old man. Although I am in the mansion now, everything is fine. I have an uncle to rely on, but I still think that my hands can be relaxed, and I don’t have to be so nervous when I prepare gifts at four o’clock, right? .”
Xichun couldn't hear it, Chu Ran scolded her for being heartless and ungrateful.She is also really cold hearted.She knew all about the dirty things in the East Mansion, and she didn't go back because she didn't want to dirty herself.In the West Mansion, it's not her home.Mother is gone, father doesn't care, it's almost the same as being gone.All he cared about was his own reputation.When Chu Ran said that, she cried angrily on the spot, but when others said her, she could scold her back.Even sister Lin said about her, but she couldn't refute it.Because no matter what, whether it is the East Mansion or the West Mansion, it is still the Jia Mansion, and she is still the girl of the Jia family.No matter how her father cared about her, she was still alive. If something happened to her, then the prodigal brother and sister-in-law couldn't completely ignore her for the sake of fame.But Sister Lin is really living in a relative's house, her parents are dead, she has no brothers and sisters, and she is really helpless.Such a comparison, isn't it worse than her situation?
"Oh, Sister Lin, look at your sharp mouth, and make the fourth sister cry. She always likes some Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, so she just casually said it, and she took it seriously. The fourth sister is also, but it is not allowed Keep talking about these things, why are we dead and alive, we innocent people, why are we dead and clean? Sister Lin has any good ideas, please tell me quickly. I don’t dislike people with a lot of money, earning 10 a month The two are good. During the Chinese New Year, I will give the master and wife a golden mountain." Tanchun came out to smooth things over.
"That's right, that's right, I am also that common man, and I despise those who have too much money. Sister Lin, a business that everyone likes to look up to, I think it is not bad." Baochai also laughed, Xichun said that copper stinks, and her heart Of course it's not happy, the Xue family is still an imperial merchant.Now I like Chu Ran two points more than before. I used to think that she was aloof and out of place, but now she looks much more kind.
Originally, Yingchun had nothing to do with herself, and it didn't matter to her whether she was noisy or not. She was only focused on her appearance, and now she couldn't help but talk, "What the hell is my sister talking about?"
Only then did Chu Ran take advantage of the situation to bring back the words, "A few days ago, Prince Zhongshun held a lotus banquet in the mansion, and he also posted a post for me. Is it not convenient for me to go. I asked Madam Lin to send some snacks to make up for it. A few days ago we just made a dim sum box of landscape paintings. It is said that the princesses still like it and find it novel. Yesterday, the disciples of Prince Yizhong's mansion came and said that they wanted to add this to the pastry shop, which is specially for the nobles Send it from the house. People also said that we don’t take advantage of us. We use prescriptions to buy shares and give [-]% of the members. It’s done by sending some pro-styles from time to time. I’m thinking, thinking of some new looks, it won’t delay us What, it's just a daily pastime. How much money can the pastry sell? It's only [-]%, not much after thinking about it. I don't have the nerve to talk about how many taels of silver a month. Just us sisters , just to earn some pocket money..."
This can be regarded as an explanation for why he only found a few sisters, did not tell the mansion, and did not bring Li Wan.Li Wan's family is really not short of money. The monthly bill is the same as the old lady's 20 taels. They also have their own land property shop. The income is several hundred taels a year, and the expenses are all kilometers. Woolen cloth.
As for Sister Feng, it's even more unnecessary, the housekeeper's wife, can you take a fancy to their scattered money.
In this way, several girls also think it is reasonable.
Only Baochai knew in her heart that this was not a few taels a month business, her family was an imperial merchant, so she didn't know that rich people made the best money.Especially with the back of Prince Yizhong's mansion, it was a business of sitting and counting money.How many taels?A few hundred or two or a few thousand are nothing.
But she only thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
"Should I call Baoyu?" Yingchun was simple-minded, still thinking about his precious brother.
"Don't don't don't, it's not like my sister doesn't know about those in his yard. Counting him, we can't do anything. At that time, we will be scolded by our wife if we say it. We want to do it, but we must not say it, who You can’t say anything. Even if you earn money, if you subsidize someone secretly, don’t say it. Sister, please remember. You can’t say it to anyone, let alone the people around you.” Chu Ran still had to scare her, just because she was afraid These two woods finally helped her earn some self-esteem, and made it easier for those blood-sucking people around her.
"Yeah, Second Sister, don't say it out. We don't even handle it, so we give the prescription to Sister Lin, and let Sister Lin help save the money when I earn it, and take it when I need it. You should also plan for yourself." Now, when you get married in the future, if you have someone you want, your hands will be lighter, and your life will be easier. Can you always expect that you will be the same as at home, regardless of everything, and someone will take care of you?" Tanchun is a worry Life.A few days ago, when Sister Feng was recovering from illness, Li Wan said that she took a few girls to learn how to be a housekeeper, but in reality she was the one who took care of it.To welcome the spring and cherish the spring are two decorations.
Er Mumu is not as stupid as before, it's just that she is too cowardly, if she wants to be hard, she won't.Her ears are still soft, and she thinks everything others say is right.But she was definitely not stupid, and she also knew that what Tanchun said was for her, out of good intentions, so she just nodded and said she had made a note of it.She is sixteen years old, and she is not engaged yet, so she doesn't think about it at all.
"Yes, yes, what my sister said is right. As long as we sisters know about it, we can't tell others. If it spreads out, we will have a bad reputation." Baochai emphasized again.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chu Ran said again: "Then it's settled. I'll send someone to answer the call. From now on, we'll give prescriptions on a monthly basis, twice a month. I'll reimburse everyone at the end of the month, and I'll send someone the money Find a safe bank to deposit, when the sisters use the silver, just go and pay, we don’t handle it, and we don’t prevent harm.”
Then it's nothing.They all thought it was just a matter of a few taels of silver, not a big deal.
It's like two copies of pastry flowers every month, like homework, has become a task that needs to be completed, and it's a bit stressful.I was still studying patterns and netting, but I put them away, and immediately started thinking about dim sum.
After all, they are still a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, how can they be less childish.
As for Chu Ran, because Tanchun mentioned Yingchun's marriage, she thought of Zhongshan wolf, no matter how stupid, no matter how poor the person is, there must be something to hate, no matter how hard it is to mention it, but she did not do anything bad , I didn't provoke anyone, an innocent girl like a flower, you can't just look at the fire pit and let her jump into it, right?
I asked a question while chatting with Sister Feng.Sister Feng's health has recovered, and she has started to be a busy housekeeper again. She is so busy every day that she is not as high-spirited as before.When Jia Lian suffered from such a disease, she and Ping'er cried for countless times behind their backs, and she felt more and more hopeless for her son.No matter how big my heart is, I can't lift it up.We can't let anyone know about that. Because of this, Jia Lian is three points short of her.I don't even dare to go out and fool around, and I don't have the capital to fool around.The couple is recuperating with small gourd water at home, I don't know how meticulous it is.It's only these days that she has seen some improvement, and her mood is also much better.Only then did I feel free to stroll in the garden.
When Chu Ran asked, she sighed. "Sister, did you think of our second girl after hearing the news of Yun girl's engagement? After all, her brother and I are not so wicked. After all, we are our own sisters, so we can ignore her? Your brother is outside I didn't pay less attention. But we are talking at home, as for the temperament of the second girl, she can't play with the big family. If the small family is not suitable for our family, the master and wife will definitely disagree. It’s not about killing someone. If you really don’t care about her, and just go to the high-ranking family to get married, just watch, I’m not sure how to torture her.”
This is really true, thinking about it, Chu Ran also feels quite sad.I used to read books and said that no one cares about Yingchun. In the end, I sold 5000 taels of silver to Zhongshan Wolf and was tortured to death.But how old was she then?How much room to pick?Just for the sake of Yuanchun's face, the Jia family couldn't keep a girl until she was seventeen or eighteen years old.If it is said that the high is not enough, the low is not good, and I have not picked the right one, it makes sense.As for some people who said they wanted to send her to the palace as a concubine to help Yuan Chungu favor him, that would be pure nonsense.With Er Mutou's temperament, send her into the palace?No matter how stupid the Jia family is, they are not so stupid.
"Is Smith engaged?"
I haven't heard of this.
"It's settled. I decided on a surname of Wei, and I didn't ask which family it was. Now I'm preparing for marriage at home and learning the rules. I thought you heard about it. Then why did you suddenly mention the second girl's marriage? Who said it?" What's up?"
"It's my mother who has been nagging in my ears recently. Whose daughter is preparing to marry two years in advance, and how much dowry is prepared for the daughter's family. She keeps nagging me that I won't let you use any good things you get. Keep it. Oops, my ears are almost slanted, and my brain is also affected by her. Today, the sisters are playing together, so I remembered it. Just ask the second sister-in-law, anyway, this question can’t be asked Auntie." Chu Ran casually found a reason.
Mother Lin has also been doing it lately, constantly chanting.In another six months, her filial piety period will be 27 months, and it's time to be filial piety.After getting rid of clothes, it will be her 15th birthday, and she will become an old girl if she is not engaged. She is not in a hurry.Expressed and hinted, he wished he could run to Jia Mu by himself, so that he could give a quasi-letter letter as soon as possible.
Of course she wasn't in a hurry, when she was out of filial piety, the Jia family's three affairs and two affairs began to go downhill.National filial piety and family filial piety have many things to do.She is not far from freedom.Besides, it's useless for her to be anxious.Jia Baoyu couldn't marry by life or death, and if Mr. Xiao didn't come, of course she couldn't marry anyone.It's for Sister Lin herself, it's okay to get engaged, but it can only be used to help with investigation and investigation. Wancheng has not left after she got married, which is a troublesome thing.
However, Sister Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with Mother Lin's thinking, "An old man in a family is like a treasure. Mother is an old man with a long history, and her life's experience can never be wrong. Don't listen to my younger sister. But... let me ask you, you Give me an accurate word, are you really unhappy with Brother Bao? It’s not that I sell flowers to praise the fragrance of flowers, and Brother Bao pities the fragrance and cherishes jade. The old lady is also easy to talk to..."
Although the old lady said that she was still more willing to have the two Yu'er together, she was not as enthusiastic as before.On Sister Lin's side, she hid again, and she didn't mean anything at all.The wife has always been thinking about it, and she is absolutely displeased with Sister Lin.She can also draw a soul in her heart.He also owed sister Lin a favor, and he didn't know how to pay it back.
Chu Ran looked at Sister Feng like a fool, "Second sister-in-law is really a sister-in-law who can boast so much. I'm not afraid of your complaints, just ask second sister-in-law, what else does he have besides pity and love? He can support the family Do you live? I am an orphan girl without father and mother, and I don’t have the ability to be a sister-in-law. Is it possible that I have to support the family? Even if the sister-in-law can do it, isn’t the second brother Lian supporting the outside affairs? It’s not easy to say Yes, in the future... he can still rely on his brother and sister-in-law to support him for the rest of his life? After being separated, how can he live? I don't want to be appointed as the emperor, Feng Guanxia, I can't rely on it as a dowry to support a big family than the master A servant who can still show off? Even if it’s farming and carrying out labor, I will find someone who can support the family. But I can’t find it. I have a family by myself, and I can’t live because of the body left by my parents? Why do you want to live with a big burden? Even if the wife is powerful and can count a title, she still has the eldest son and grandson, who can fall on the head of the second master? I am stupid, running after him? "
Speaking of this, Sister Feng still cares how much Chu Ran dislikes Baoyu.At the moment, her mind is full of thoughts, can her elder brother support her younger brother for a lifetime?When the old lady is away, can the first room and the second room not separate?The family is separated, and Lian Er and Baoyu are cousins, and there is no cousin to support the cousin for a lifetime.Also, the title thing.Chu Ran's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to her. In the past, she only thought that relying on her mother, maybe in the future, the family's grace and title would not fall to others, and it must belong to Baoyu.Does not affect your title.But think about it now, yeah.The second room has an eldest son and grandson, and Lan'er has grown up.Even if there is a title, it should be the eldest son and grandson. The order of the elders and the younger should not be messed up. Could it be that Brother Zhu is not the mother's direct brother?If the wife wants to calculate a title for Baoyu, doesn't it have to be her own?My family has no son now... Huan'er is a bastard again...
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this possibility is too great.If it was for Baoyu, the old lady must have 1 wishes.
No, no.I have to go home quickly and discuss it with Lian Er. Aren't the two of you being treated like fools?Thinking about it again, what Chu Ran just said might mean that she was allowed to support the family as a dowry.Didn't that just tell her about her current situation?I just became a gold collar a few days ago, and I pawned 300 taels for my family.Isn't it just a slave who feeds a family that is bigger than the master's son?Whose family will lose the nest of ancestors in Yihong Courtyard?
"I understand what you mean. I won't tell you anything in front of the old lady in the future. I still have something to do in the yard. I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Sister Feng left in a hurry.
Chu Ran ignored her and went fishing leisurely.
The broken-down car in Jia's house is enough, and the big ones are pulled out of the box. If it weren't for the fear that they would stick to me in the future, why bother to drag Lian Er and Sister Feng together?Isn't it because it's useless to pull others.Still the same sentence, in this world, there are no men outside to do things, and women stay in the deep house compound, and their great abilities are useless.But these men from the Jia family, one counts as one, what kind of quality are they all?The masters in the East Mansion were committed to death.In the West Mansion, Jia Amnesty, it's all over.Jia Zheng?The heart is quite high, but the ability is not.The most important thing is that both of them are really ruthless.Go a little further, Jia Baoyu, not an ordinary thing.Jia Huan, let Aunt Zhao's teaching be abolished, and Mrs. Wang deliberately raised him to be abolished. Let him be the head of the house, that must be running in the direction of Jia Rong.Jia Cong, a character who has no sense of existence, still plays with Jia Huan in his hometown.These, how to promote them?Come to think of it, I still don't know what it looks like.Pull it all over, that is, Jia Lian, except for the knife on the head of Sezi, he has ability and sympathy, and he is not completely heartless towards the younger brothers and sisters below.
There is also a problem of greed for money.He is greedy for money in order to show off.He has no capital for sex, or dare not go to sex anymore, and the family is defeated, and there is no place for him to be greedy. People with a bottom line are better than prostitutes.
In the future, the day when Jia's mansion will fall, the girls in the mansion, the innocent servants, the innocent Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who can they point to?Sister Lin's identity is here. If the bone is broken and the tendon is broken, can she just ignore it?Tube?What to do?It is only natural that Jia Lian takes care of it.If it was Sister Feng in the past, she might have refused to save her. Now that she has been hit a few times, she probably won't.
There are a few affectionate and righteous people in the side branches, but they are side branches after all, they can take care of one or two, can take care of specific objects, can they take care of everything?impossible.People like Grandma Liu are hard to find in the world.It is said that Jia Yun has a friendship with Xiaohong, but he didn't do what Grandma Liu did.
So, it can only be the couple.
Now I have helped my sisters save a little private money, so in the end, I won't be helpless.Does Xichun still think about becoming a monk and becoming an aunt?You have to have that fate too.What should I do if I sell Hualouzi?If you want to become a monk, you have to redeem yourself first, right?A little girl who doesn't know the world, always thinks things are so simple.At that time, I didn't see you dead and clean.
There is still time, let's grind it slowly.
Only then did I think of Grandma Liu, no, I saw a real person.
The last time Grandma Liu came to the mansion, sister Lin went back to Yangzhou, so she didn't see her.
This time, I didn't miss it at all.I met the famous old lady with super high emotional intelligence.
Someone from the Zhuangzi sent a big crab, and it happened that the osmanthus was in full bloom. The sisters just read the past month's accounts, and each of them could share 28 taels of silver.Chu Ran conveyed the words of the manager of the shop, this is just the beginning, and the peak season is the year after year.One by one, it was the first time that they earned a year's monthly allowance by their own ability, but they still felt uneasy just looking at the account, and after all, each of them paid two taels, saying that they would hold a crab feast.With so much money, there is no need to make excuses.If you want to do it, do it, and celebrate it when you are happy.
Sister Feng and all the girls are here, so it's fun to have a lot of people.It's just that Sister Feng didn't stay for a while, she ate two crab legs, joked for a while, and was called away by the women.After Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue came, they had tea, wine and jokes.When Jia Baoyu also came over, he was composing poems again.Chu Ran also followed suit and made a song.
When Ping'er came to ask for crabs and said that Sister Feng would bring them back to eat, Li Wan took the maids to pour her wine, and a group of people even commented on a big girl.After talking about Yuanyang, Caixia and Ping'er, they went over to Xiren.Li Wan also talked about the housekeeper, saying that Jia Zhu also had two housemates at that time, which she could accommodate, but the two housemates were uncomfortable, so she sent Jia Zhu out once Jia Zhu died.She also sighed that as long as there is one who can hold on, she also has a helper.
Chu Ran wanted to say what he said.This is the same as when Sister Feng was joking with Yuanyang just now, saying that Lian Er fell in love with Yuanyang and wanted to ask the old lady to take her back to be a concubine.Lian Er's lust is gone now, and she's starting to talk about begging for this one today and that one tomorrow.Li Wan is not the same, can he tolerate others?Just her?You can pull it down.If it is sold, it is said that it is sold, and they want to save the rations of two people, but they also say that they can't keep it.You take over everything.
She just took it for fun.She can't eat crabs, and she doesn't drink meat, and she only drank a little fruit wine.Looking at the noisy scene in the yard, it is also one less time.
Ping'er had just left with the crab when Sister Feng came.Said that Grandma Liu came and brought melons and fruits that had just been picked.As soon as Jia Mu heard that he was a long-lived old man, and also heard about the previous relationship, she knew that this was a kind person, so she asked her to come and see her.
It was a weather-beaten, thin old lady in coarse linen.His hair is half white, and his face is dark like the unclean one that he often works in the fields.The hands are also rough, with calluses, and chapped cuts that have never died.The clothes look old, but they are clean, the shoes are old, and the uppers and uppers are clean.She is a very neat old lady.With a smile all over his face, he was astonished, nervous and cautious as if he had entered the palace.It is also inevitable that there will be a little innocuous ugliness.Mother Jia asked Grandma Liu who had fallen to get up, and told everyone not to make fun of her.He is also very kind to Grandma Liu, very approachable.This is indeed the shining point of Jia Mu.She didn't look down on village women like Grandma Liu, let alone make fun of them.In saying that, it is also the routine of old sisters of the same age talking about ancient parents, without airs.In addition, Grandma Liu's emotional intelligence is indeed high, and she can tell stories and talk with winks. She knows very well what the old lady likes to hear and what she likes to hear.They can all get to the point.Naturally made the old lady happy.
He had to stay for two days and take her around the garden.
After the crab feast was over, Ping'er took Grandma Liu back to their yard and arranged for Grandma Liu to live.Chu Ran made a special trip with someone.Such an old man, without any reason or purpose, is also respectable.
"Usually, I only read about farming in Commencement and Opening Things, so I want to ask grandma in detail." Chu Ran used this reason to explain the matter.I asked Grandma Liu about the farming work of planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, what kind of food is often grown in the field, how many stones can be drilled per mu, how much is the harvest, how much is the rent, and whether the tenants can eat enough.There are also questions like how the oil is squeezed out, and how the rice is ground. I asked them all, and they were completely in the state of a deep house lady who didn't understand anything.
After chatting for an hour, Ban'er fell asleep before leaving.
Ping'er has been with her all the time, and when she went out, she was dragged to Sister Feng's courtyard, and she would not let her go until she had to have two drinks with her.
"Why did my sister ask about things in the field? But are you looking for any ingredients?"
Sister Feng thought that Chu Ran must have seen some weird food in the recipe again and wanted to make it.
"That's not true. You know, didn't you save the mother and child last year? Sister-in-law Zhang's body has been raised, and the mother and three insist on staying as slaves. The two boys are not idle at home every day, competing for work. I don’t need so many people in my family. There are also those little beggars who are testing medicines. They are always watching by the garden, sweeping the bottom of the wall clean, looking very pitiful. I am not I thought, if I can buy a hundred or eighty mu of land, or one or two barren hills, I can house these people. It can be regarded as setting up a little family business. I only thought of it when I met Grandma Liu today. Sister-in-law, do you think Grandma Liu is trustworthy? Can she help with this?"
"Hey, what's the matter. Don't dare to say anything else. I can't be wrong when I look at people. Grandma Liu is a kind person, so I can't be wrong. But sister, if you want to buy Zhuangzi, do you still need someone else? Your family How much backer does Lin Chao and Lin Mu have? Why can't we do it? Even if you tell your second elder brother Lian, it's only a matter of one sentence."
But don't, I really can't afford the favor of your family.
"Is the power of the Prince's Mansion so easy to borrow? I don't dare to take advantage of favors that haven't been paid. Besides, it's a matter of a hundred acres of land. Is it worth troubling Lian's second brother to come? I was also thinking, In the future, if there is anything you don’t understand in the field, Grandma Liu can help take care of it, and it’s convenient for her to keep her house on the ground.”
Sister Feng thought about it, yes.Even if you send someone to buy it yourself, can you always send someone to help take care of it?
"Before grandma leaves, be sure to take her to my yard." Before leaving, Chu Ran told Ping'er.
Going to the garden the next day is naturally very lively.With the help of Chu Ran and Sister Feng, they didn't make fun of Grandma Liu.Just talking and laughing normally, the old lady has been coaxed very happy.Also visited most of the garden.From Chu Ran's point of view, the only thing that is not beautiful is going to Miaoyu's for tea.This restless nun seemed a little too deliberate.That set of false cleanliness rhetoric is even more unreasonable.She didn't take a sip of the tea.The teacup used by the ancients hundreds of years ago?Who knows how many people's hands have passed, what's so good about it?Still despise Grandma Liu for being dirty?People's souls are many times more noble than yours.Again, he used what he used to use for Baoyu, so that the hookup was not too obvious.It's still in front of the girls, and there's no shyness at all.And those who only recognize those rich and noble decorations, the heart is too heavy!
It's not perfect, it's all good.Even Jia Baoyu knew not to provoke her.It's just too good to be true.
"I can't live in a house in my family. Some people need to be resettled. I want to ask my grandma to take care of it. I can help you buy some wasteland and jade around your house, as long as there are places where people can live."
Before Grandma Liu left, Ping'er deliberately took her to the courtyard where Chu Ran used to live, and the car that sent them off to their grandparents was parked at Jiaomen'er.The old lady and the wife gave things and money.Yuanyang and Ping'er also took things.Sister Feng prepared half a kang for her.All kinds of things are worth two or three hundred taels of silver, and they are full of cars.Of course, Chu Ran couldn't ask others to do things in vain, so he took 300 taels of silver and some fine cotton cloth, which was not as good as those brocade and silk ones, but practical.She only talked about things when the servants were moving things.
Grandma Liu was so grateful, she didn’t know how many times she recited Buddha’s words and worshiped. When she heard that Chu Ran wanted to ask for something, she was happy, “Look at what the girl said, what can I ask for? What else can I buy?” Land, there are a lot of vacant houses in the village, and Ban'er's father can talk in the village. Just build a house and live in it. The family sells fields and land, we locals, believe me quickly, you can buy a hundred or ten acres, not to mention the mountains, the few barren hills around the village are ignored, but on the mountains, you can’t grow The field is the stone mountain. There were many gardeners in Beijing the year before last, so the mountain was bought by people to pick stones. When it was used up, it was just thrown away. It’s useless just to buy it? Can you still repair the garden?”
That is not easy.
"Then please help me buy it? This is Xueyan. Let her take someone to find you in a few days, okay? It doesn't matter if the stone mountain is there. I just want to plant some fruit trees, and I don't need to look after them. I want to grow some sun-dried fruits like apricots, dates, pears, and peaches to make snacks and fruit wine. I count as much as I charge. I have to find some livelihood for my family, don’t I?”
When she said this, Grandma Liu understood.It is to support people with the land.I knew how to arrange it in my heart.
With a large area of land, Fengshan and other small people can’t do anything about it. If the small ones come and go, can the barren hills have nothing to do?
With so much money this time, she will buy land and land when she goes back home.At first, I didn't think about buying a mountain to plant trees, but it happened that, taking advantage of the east wind in the mansion, I also planted some fruit trees.
After thinking it over, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly.Chu Ran also took some commonly used and cheap medicines that claim to be daily-use medicines tried by the little beggars.It is much more practical than those given by Yuanyang.There are prescriptions for those medicines, and the medicinal materials are expensive, which is also a burden.
After sending Grandma Liu away, Chu Ran asked Lin Ping's family to take the snow geese back to the garden, and told the old housekeeper about it, so that someone could be arranged.
For such a long time, Lin Cheng has never bought a real estate shop on his own initiative, and never used the power of Prince Yizhong's mansion to do anything.Lin Chao and Lin Mu did well in the two errands, and they became more and more valued by Prince Yizhong.Although he was not sent to be a steward in the mansion, he brought Lin Chao by his side and acted as a military general.
This time, Chu Ran borrowed Grandma Liu's hand to settle Zhang's mother and son and those little beggars, and the old housekeeper also thought it was good.At Prince Yizhong's mansion, we have to save up for it.In his heart, he wanted to wait for the girl's filial piety to pass, and try to see if he could ask the prince for help to arrange a good marriage.Of course, you can't go to the palace for these trivial matters.If you do good deeds and help others, you can't stop it. The girl has a kind heart, and she doesn't just blindly understand everything. Giving money lavishly is to help find a living. If there is anything she can't help, it's a good thing to build a reputation. Son, when a girl talks about marriage in the future, won't this be a bonus for her conduct?With five disadvantages and three deficiencies, the fate is not very good, so there must be other advantages to make up for it.
Therefore, it is very carefully arranged.It was Lin Ping who personally brought people over to do it.Grandma Liu is also capable, and Ban'er's father, Wang Gou'er, is not nothing, and being able to help Zhou Rui buy land shows that he can indeed talk in the local area.Things went well.
When Chu Ran received the dim sum shop’s second reimbursement, Lin Ping’s family told her that they bought 230 mu of land and two barren hills, bought a house in the village of Wang Gou’er’s house, and built a yard with three entrances. , together with the grain seeds for the coming year, the saplings and the manpower for digging tree pits in autumn, we did not spend a total of 3000 taels of silver.
The house is an ordinary village house, and there is no such thing as a brick and a big tile.Build fast.After the construction is completed, the Zhang family's sister-in-law and her two sons will take care of it. Their family used to do small business and has management experience.Then send the little beggar who is willing to go there, along with the consumption of firewood, rice, oil and salt.Before there is output, it has to be raised at home.Chu Ran asked Grandma Liu to bring another hundred catties of cotton, enough for her grandchildren.
Lin Ping's family also told Chu Ran that Sister Feng also asked her grandma to help buy two hundred acres of land, which was bought with her own private money and not included in the government's public account.The people who were sent to take over were Xiaohong and Jia Yun. I don't know when Jia Yun was accepted.Even Xiaohong didn't accept it at the time in the book. When Chu Ran came, she was waiting by Sister Feng's side.
The land is good, Chu Ran thought, whether to mobilize the couple more in the future, and buy more property in private.The more property they have, the less pressure they will have to support their families in the future, and the easier it will be for themselves.
They will definitely not put the privately owned land under their own name, even if the house is confiscated, they will not be able to confiscate it, that's great.
Make up your mind and just wait for the right time, not something to be done in a hurry.
When it came to the little sisters, in the second month, a full 83 taels of silver was allocated to each of them, and they were all stunned.Is it so profitable?
