"You are faithful, get up." The old lady shouted after hearing this.

After Hemerocallis got up, she raised the snack box above her head in a polite manner, half bent over: "This is a snack box sent by the young master, please have a look at it, old lady."

"What are they?" The old lady asked lightly.

Hemerocallis then talked about the contents inside, and then said: "Young master divided half of it out."

In fact, she didn't know how much she had divided, but it didn't hinder her performance on the spot!

The masters can't verify this kind of thing at all. The young master is guarding the small yard tightly now. Even if the old lady wants to do something here, it's only been a few days since the accident happened?It wouldn't be so vain for the little master to catch him.

"En." The old lady nodded, she knew in her heart that the concubine did this because he didn't want to give her a chance to get mad. When did this little bastard become so shrewd?

There was no movement in the room for a long time.

"You little masters, how have you been these two days?" the old lady asked again.

"Returning to the old lady, everything is fine with the young master." Dayliflower thought for a while and said, "Read and write every day, miss the old master."

Because the current master is Wu Jun, the one who passed away will naturally be upgraded to become the old master.

"For he knows how to be filial." The old lady was actually dissatisfied, but when she thought of what the eldest son had said, she held back her breath, and instead, in order to show generosity, she said kindly: "Although it is said that I miss the old man, Don’t be too sad, the winter is severe, I have four fine fox skins here, you take them back, and make a big fur coat for your little master to wear, even though they are mixed-haired fox skins, they are good for keeping out the cold.”

"The old lady is kind, and this servant will thank the old lady on behalf of the young master." Hemerocallis gave another big gift.

"How are you doing over there?" The old lady asked Daylianocallis after talking about Maid Wu.

The reason why she picked daylilies specially at that time was because this girl had a big heart and dared to seduce her grandson behind her and daughter-in-law's backs. Such a girl could not be kept; Astringent, if it is humanized, it will be very charming.

Especially this girl has a big heart!

If he looks good and has a big heart, he can definitely send him there to harm that little bastard.

"Everything is fine with the servant girl, the young master asked the servant girl to take care of the maidservants there." Hemerocallis was very smart at this time to report good news but not bad news: "And let the servant girl take care of the tea room."

The meals are all prepared in the big kitchen, and Xiaoxiao went to carry the food boxes. Because it is winter, the food boxes are wrapped in cotton cloth to keep warm, and because the big kitchen is not far from the small courtyard, so even in winter, it is not too far away. I will give the little master cold rice and cold dishes.

In addition, the tea at the entrance is naturally provided by the tea room.

This is a sign of trust. The old lady's tea room is managed by the eldest maid, Shao Yao, but Shao Yao has a little girl and two servants under her command.

She was alone at the little master's place, this is where Wu Youwei is brilliant, you are alone, if something happens, you don't even have a cannon fodder!

I will settle accounts with you!

"He's worried about you." I didn't expect that little bastard to be nothing more than that. The person she sent was still in charge of the maid and tea. If it was her, this big maid would be absolutely impossible to keep.

"The servant girl came out of the old lady's room, and the young master gave it to the servant girl for the sake of the old lady's face." Hemerocallis is very good at talking. She has served the old lady for three or four years, and she has been in this yard for almost ten years. , do you know how to say it to make the old lady happy?

Sure enough, the old lady felt much more at ease after hearing this, no matter how promising she was, she still couldn't escape her Wuzhi Mountain.

And Wu Youwei thought the same way: no matter how much he struggled, he wouldn't be able to jump up even if he was suppressed by righteousness.

So he chose to lie dormant instead of subdued.

He didn't believe it anymore, how many years can the old lady live?

And after the filial piety, given how much the old lady hated him, I'm afraid he won't need to mention it, and he will get married.

"Come on, Xiao Xiao, come here." Wu Youwei was extremely bored, calling Xiao Xiao over while thinking about things.

"Master, what's the matter?" Xiao Xiao quickly ate half of the milk pancake in his hand, wiped his hands, and ran over.

"Come on, little master, I'll teach you how to read and write." Wu Youwei said with a smile, "Do you have parents?"

"I don't remember." Xiao Xiao shook his head: "When I remember things, I was in the hands of Ren Yazi, and then the mansion bought someone, and the little one came in. At first, I carried firewood from the woodshed to the kitchen. After that, you will learn the rules, and in another year, the little one will come to you."

Those who really have memories are only a few years old, and Ren Yazi treated him well, and found him a good family. He remembers that there was someone who was older than him, who bullied him, robbed him of his dry food, and stole Ren Yazi. The money was sold to an old wealthy landlord, and that family was said to be very powerful.

"Oh, then, I'll teach you how to read and write, okay?" I don't remember my parents, maybe they were sold when I was very young, or picked up by a child?Also a possibility.

"The little one knows a little bit, can count from one to one hundred, and knows his own name." So he was selected as a book boy, and then sent to the side of the dying little master.

"Then how many words do you know?" Wu Youwei became a teacher's addict and began to teach Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao really knows how to read, but he only knows numbers from one to one hundred, as well as his own name.

His name is too simple, just two words: Xiaoxiao.

"The little ones know the word 'big'. I met them during Chinese New Year when I watched them play dice." Xiao Ke showed off.

Wu Youwei smiled: "Then I really know a lot."

This is already not easy. If it is a commoner, Wu Youwei really can't imagine how an illiterate, who was suitable in ancient times, would live?

I can't even read a deed or something....

Wu Youwei did not suspend teaching until Hemerocallis came back to answer his orders, while Xiaoxiao went to open the door obediently, seeing Hemerocallis smiling happily.

The little master teaches a lot, and he is so strict!

"Go back to my little master, the snack box has been delivered by the servant, the old lady will give you four fox skins, and ask the servant to make you a big cloak to keep out the cold." Hemerocallis handed over four fox skins of miscellaneous fur: "The old lady also said, Please take care of your body, little master, and don't mourn your bones."

"Well, you go down and ask Furong to come in." Wu Youwei nodded lightly, this day lily is indeed very capable, and he can answer the old lady correctly.

Hemerocallis froze for a moment, is it called Furong?

Shouldn't the fox fur be handed over to her, and she handed it over to Furong to deal with?

What, let her go down?

Xiaoxiao has already gone out to call Furong over.

Hemerocallis was a little sad, but she didn't dare to really raise objections with the young master, after all, she hadn't laid the foundation here yet.

I had no choice but to back out aggrieved, just in time to meet Fu Rong who came.

"Sister Hemerocallis." Fu Rong first knelt down and saluted.

"Sister Fu Rong, go in quickly, the young master is waiting for you!" Hemerocallis forced a smile, made a half salute, and went back to her tea room.

"Cut these few fox skins to make a fur cloak." Wu Youwei pointed to the four fox skins and said, "Use cotton cloth inside to make a lining for me."

"Yes." Furong replied.

"Make me two new quilts, one for me and one for the small one." Wu Youwei originally wanted to teach Fu Rong to make sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases, but after thinking about it, forget it, when will he be able to go out? , When will you show your ingenuity again?

Forget it now, in case someone catches something, he is not a native of the Ming Dynasty, and he is really not very clear about these details.

For now, just wait patiently.

It was safe and sound. Every three days, someone came to see Wu Youwei. The third time the person who came was Yang Yiqing's servant, who brought Wu Youwei four pieces of plain brocade.

Yang Yiqing was also a man of prodigy. He was born in Huazhou, Gaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province on December 14th in the fifth year of Jingtai. He was hailed as a child prodigy when he was young.

Not an easy guy either.

Not counting the Sujin he sent, he also sent twenty catties of cotton.

Fortunately it was delivered in the evening and without fanfare.

Wu Youwei touched Su Jin and sighed in his heart, this is really a person with seven apertures and exquisite heart!

The gift was not ostentatious, but it was actually because he was afraid that he would be difficult to be a man, and that he would not have good clothes to keep warm and cold, so he gave him plain brocade and cotton.

In order not to be seen by others, it was wrapped in white cloth and sent in. Except for the hibiscus of the cloth, he and Xiao Xiao knew that it was not cotton and linen at all, but plain brocade.

"Have someone make me two quilts with this cotton, and I will use it myself." Wu Youwei told Fu Rong, "One bed uses ten catties of cotton."

"But young master, you just ordered two quilts to be made a few days ago..." Fu Rong reminded Wu Youwei: "Do you still do it now?"

"Do it!" Wu Youwei curled his lips: "I can't wash the quilt all winter, so I will keep building new ones!"

"Okay then, how about making some pillows for you too?" Furong thought for a while, "There are buckwheat husks at home, so it's more than enough to fill you with two pillows after drying."

"Okay!" Wu Youwei waved his hand: "You can figure it out!"

"Yes." Furong replied calmly, and went down with her things.

Wu Youwei is quite interested in her, don't get it wrong, it's because he thinks that this maid named Fu Rong, apart from the fact that her name terrifies him, is also a nice person, much better than the big-hearted one called Hemerocallis.

Furong is very capable. She not only made pillows, mattresses and quilts for Wu Youwei, but also made the same amount for Xiao Xiao, which made Wu Youwei feel that she was appropriate.

But Wu Youwei didn't want things for nothing, he felt that he had to do something by himself, and it was only when courtesy was light and affection was important.

However, he doesn't have any money in his hands now...

As a result, the housekeeper came that night.

Holding a small box in his hand, he entered the small courtyard and begged to see the young master.

"What's the matter? Can I trouble the butler to come here in person?" Wu Youwei saw him in the study.

"It's nothing serious, this is the little master's monthly money." The housekeeper offered a small box with both hands: "It's not a big deal to keep it with the little one all the time, so I brought it to you."

The butler held up the box and opened it for Wu Youwei to see what was inside: "You have a look, put it away."

Wu Youwei curled his lips, he was really bullying.

It turned out that all the things in his small yard were divided by those slaves. Of course, they were only limited to money, and the servants of calligraphy, painting and antiques didn't understand, and they didn't dare to move because they were afraid of causing trouble when they took them out.

The original owner didn't care much about money at first, and he was about to die later, so who cares about money?

When he came, he found that he had basically nothing but a little money with him. If it wasn't for the habit of the original owner's father to give the original owner banknotes, he would have been completely worthless.

The only silver ticket was exchanged for cash, and Xiao Xiao was asked to take it out to get some food and medicine for herself, and even had to stuff money into the kitchen to boil a bath water.

So the cost is huge.

At that time, it was asking for help with money, but it is different now.

Now the young master doesn't need to beg for help, he can just ask for something.

So, although his money didn't increase, he didn't spend much.

Wu Youwei planned to wait for him to save money for a year or so before someone would bring it to Liu Daxia. After all, he bought the person, and if he wanted it, he had to buy it from Liu Daxia.

Now that the housekeeper gave him the money, Wu Youwei understood that it was probably the money that the housekeeper's youngest son had stolen from him.

You must know that the original owner didn't pay much attention to monthly money in the past, because Chang Sui was responsible for the expenses, and he only cared about studying.

Now it's Wu Youwei's turn, he has already done the calculations, the monthly money of the original owner over the years adds up to at least a hundred taels, and there are red envelopes from the elders during the festivals.

Because the original owner’s monthly silver is five taels, 60 taels a year, and 15 taels in the 900 years since birth.

Throwing away the expenses can save at least 400 taels.

Not counting the red envelopes and rewards during the holidays.

And he is a person who is confused in reading, what can he spend?

Even if pens, inks, papers and inkstones are expensive, they were all given to him by the old man, and he didn't spend his money at all.
