There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

"How much?" Wu Youwei didn't think it was too much: "Isn't it the same for Da Fang?"

"The first room is from the concubine, the second room... is from the concubine, and has not... not been the head of the family yet." Wu Xu couldn't make it too clear, because the young master is also from the concubine.

"The descendants of the concubines are all my juniors here." Wu Youwei said, "I only know that they are all my nephews and nieces, so that's fine.

Seeing that Wu Youwei had already said that, Wu Xu must have had his own thoughts, and he didn't dare to say it harshly, after all, the young master is also a concubine.

The difference between concubine and concubine is obvious in girls, but in boys, as long as they are promising, the difference between concubine and concubine can actually be blurred. However, the wives of many families are not vegetarians, so how much can a concubine have?

It has always been the case that only the bastards have to be established by the bastards if there is no auntie, then the bastards will be cultivated.

Otherwise, the difference between the concubine and the concubine will always be like a gap, lying in the middle, and no one can cross it.

Wu Youwei counted the silver coins one by one, and then asked Xiao Xiao to put them in the wallet, and Wu Xu put the wrapped wallet on the tray.

After working for a while, it was installed.

Looking at the small pile in front of him, Wu Youwei smiled: "How do I... take it out?"

"You can let Xiaoxiao hold it, but Xiaoxiao is a book boy, and it is not convenient to go to the backyard as she grows older. You can just go in with two maids." Wu Xu said: "Before the New Year's Eve dinner, the old lady will give you the lucky money first, After the old lady has given it, it will be given by the old lady, then by the second wife, and finally by you. There is no third generation in the family, so you will be the last one to give out the lucky money.

Wu Youwei nodded, and Wu Xu said while searching for the memory of the original owner. In fact, in the memory of the original owner, the Chinese New Year was very lively, but in Wu Youwei's era, the Chinese New Year became less and less interesting. Just a reunion.

In ancient times, it was a big day.

It's just that during Chinese New Year, the original owner was always with his aunt. Later, when his aunt died, he stayed with his father. His father protected him in every possible way, but it was not worth life, old age, sickness and death.

Wu Youwei really didn't know how to spend this first New Year's Eve without his father.

I can only combine the memory of the original owner, listen to Wu Xu's words, and think about something myself.

After finishing speaking, Wu Youwei dismissed Wu Xu, and left the little one to stay with him in the room. Xiaoxiao was bored and planned to go out to play, so Wu Youwei asked him to wear thicker clothes: "Come back early, Go out with some copper coins and buy a small firecracker or something to play with.

"Hmm!" Xiao Xiao ran out after she was dressed thickly.

Wu Youwei was actually bored in the house, but he couldn't go out, so he could only hold back in the house. Thinking of the vigil at night, he simply slept on the soft bed in the study, so as not to lose energy at night vigil and be picked on by others.

He had a good night's sleep, Xiao Xiao ran in and woke him up.

If you wake him up, wake him up, he won't sleep anyway, Xiao Xiao came in and saw him woke up, he smiled: "It's disturbing the little master.

"It's okay, I'm full of sleep anyway." Wu Youwei stretched his waist.

"Wash your face and refresh yourself?" Xiao Xiao ran out: "Xiao Xiao went to fetch some hot water."

Wu Youwei didn't stop him, because he really needed to be cleaned up and refreshed.

Xiaoxiao brought in hot water and poured it into the copper basin.

Fleur and Jasmine came in with him.

One of them is holding new clothes, the other is holding new shoes, new socks and other items.

Wu Youwei washed his face, recombed his hair, and changed his clothes, shoes and socks.

"Master, it's spread outside, saying that our small yard is the best and gets the most money!" Xiaoxiao ran out for a trip, and was envied by others. When he came back, he walked with his chest up and his head up.

"Really?" Wu Youwei smiled and teased him: "Does anyone envy you?

"Yes!" Xiaoxiao smirked: "It turned out that the bookboys next to the two young masters who bullied Xiao, their eyes were red when they saw the young one!"

They also only got 20 taels of silver from the young master, and he alone got 50 taels, especially the words of the young master have spread. Everyone knows that the small deed is in the hands of the young master. Sooner or later, the young master will Let Xiao Xiao go, and it must be a good book.

I'm really jealous!

"That's right, that's right!" Jasmine was tying a net scarf on Wu Youwei, and she also said after hearing the words: "Young servant is going out today, she is very majestic, the little sisters I usually know, everyone is very envious of this servant."

There are even some people who have moved their minds and wanted to serve in the small courtyard, but unfortunately, these slaves are not in charge of this matter...

Even Fu Rong smiled and said, "Many servants are envious."

20 taels, save a little, enough for a family for a year.

Of course, these 20 taels refer to ordinary households in ordinary areas, which is impossible in Beijing, and ordinary households in Beijing also get 50 taels of silver a month.

Because there is no land in Beijing, the people in the city are not only businessmen but also officials, and those who cultivate land can only have the land of the common people when they have to go to Zhili.

The common people can't keep those fields here.

Even so, these 20 taels of silver are enough to make people enviable.

And her 20 taels of silver were rewarded by the little master. If she didn't want to hand it over to her parents, they couldn't take it. Who told them to be the children of the Wu family.

The young master has a fierce reputation, who would dare to offend the people in the yard like him?

Now when I get home, even my sister-in-law dare not speak loudly to me.

The waist is stiff, and the servants in the small courtyard are all loyal to Wu Youwei, the young master, and their loyalty is unprecedentedly high!

Wu Youwei smiled: "Then take good care of you, if you serve well, next year will be even higher than this year.

"Then thank you, little master!" Furong and Jasmine were all together, smiling happily. Who said daughters don't love money?They love it very much.

On the other hand, Xiao Xiao said: "But won't the master think too much? The young one heard from the young master's book boy that this is against the rules. I'm afraid that the money that the young one gets will be accepted by the young master sooner or later. Go... ..

"How do you get back the money you gave?" Wu Youwei sneered: "He can't eat grapes, so he just said the grapes are sour!"

"Huh?" Xiaoxiao scratched her head, and the two maids were also puzzled.

Wu Youwei choked, this story came from "Aesop's Fables", and at this time, as the ancient oriental Ming Dynasty, no one knew about this stalk.

"It's nothing, he is jealous of you, cursing you, ignore him." Wu Youwei quickly changed the subject: "Have you finished wearing it?"

"Okay, okay!" The two maids quickly arranged for Wu Youwei.

After cleaning up, Wu Youwei asked them to clean up for Xiao Xiaoye, and finally, the two of them went to clean up, and Wu Xu came: "The old lady told you to go to the backyard to go to the room for dinner. "

"Okay, let's go." Wu Youwei nodded, let Fu Rong and Jasmine follow behind him, carrying things, and went out of the room [] to go to the backyard, but was stopped by daylilies.

"Let this servant go with you!" Hemerocallis fully dressed, standing in the yard, looking hopefully at Wu Youwei.

"Oh, no need, how about some hot water? Everyone will keep watch at night, so there will be hot water to drink." Wu Youwei pretended not to see her, and walked past her, taking Fu Rong, Jasmine and Xiao Xiao away.

Behind Xiaoxiao was Wu Xu, the steward, and two Chang Sui.

Hemerocallis...!!"

Walking all the way, looking at the scenery, the scenery is actually the same scenery, but there are many lanterns hanging, the old man has not yet passed the hundredth day, so the lanterns are all white, although the family is celebrating the New Year, there is no happy face.

When they arrived at the place, before entering the yard, Wu Youwei turned around and said: "Wu Xu, just take Xiao Xiao back to watch the new year. Xiao Xiao, the main house will be handed over to you. Wu Xu, I can rest assured that the yard will be handed over to you and daylilies." .”

"Yes, young master." Both Wu Xu and Xiao Xiao responded with serious expressions. They watched Wu Youwei enter the courtyard before turning around and walking back.

Wu Youwei entered the door with two maids, and the maid who guarded the door opened the cotton curtain to let them in, and reported loudly: "The little master is here!"

The voices in the room stagnated, because of the observance of filial piety and the end of a hundred days, it was impossible to "joke", only to "talk".

"Let him in quickly, it's so cold outside, what are you doing standing at the door?" Mrs. Wu said, the servant girl quickly opened the door and let Wu Youwei in.

In fact, this is the rule of a wealthy family, Wu Youwei stood at the door, and Wu Jun had to stand at the door and wait for his mother to call when he came, but when she said this, it seemed that she was so kind.

When Wu Youwei came in, he asked An to say hello first. Besides her, there was also the one-year-old fourth lady Wu Youer and the first-born eldest lady Wu Qianer on Mrs. Wu's kang. It's normal for Miss Wu Youer not to hide or dodge, how old is she?

But Wu Qian'er, the eldest daughter of the concubine, was also sitting on the kang, she didn't know how to avoid it, Wu Youwei saw it, this is not the upbringing that a lady should have.

Wu Qian'er didn't catch a cold when she saw this concubine's little uncle.

They don't see each other very often throughout the year, and no matter whether it's grandmother, mother, or father, they don't have a good attitude towards this concubine's little uncle.

Wu Qian'er was brought up as a lady of the family, but at the same time, because she is the eldest daughter, Wu Sun cares about her eldest daughter very much, and being raised with gold and jade has also cultivated her pride and arrogance.

Madam Wu also acted as if she hadn't seen it, and called out: "Go and sit outside, your elder brother will be here in a while."

yes. "Wu Youwei retreated to sit in the middle hall.

Someone served tea and vegetarian dishes, and he had just taken a sip of tea when his brother arrived.

Wu Jun came with Wu Ying, and as soon as he entered the door and saw Wu Youwei, he smiled: "Your brother came early.

"I was bored in the small yard and I was hungry, so I came here." Wu Youwei knew that the later he came, the more finale he would have to come earlier than Wu Jun.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go to the restaurant for dinner." As the head of the family, Wu Jun, even if Mrs. Wu is of a higher seniority, the reunion dinner will not start until he arrives.

"Okay, I'm already hungry." Wu Youwei stood up and followed Wu Jun to the flower hall where he had dinner.

For Chinese New Year, although they are vegetarians, the Wu family is also a family of officials and officials, so this New Year's Eve dinner is really good.

Mrs. Wu was already seated at the first place, followed by Wu Jun and the others. Because it was a reunion dinner, the table was round.

Sure enough, he saw the green vegetables.

Mushrooms and rapeseed, spinach with nuts, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried bean sprouts are all home-cooked dishes, but green vegetables are also very good in winter.

Yiyipin tofu, vegetarian stuffed tofu, stewed tofu, dried spiced tofu, all tofu.

There were also four cold dishes. Wu Youwei saw cucumbers in it. Although the portion was small, he was not as happy as he imagined when he ate fresh vegetables after eating all kinds of dried and pickled vegetables throughout the winter.

In fact, there are also disadvantages in this era. Did you want to eat anything in winter before?

Throughout the year, where are the off-season vegetables?

Now that he eats only green vegetables for Chinese New Year, he really wants to cry.

In addition to green vegetables and dried vegetables, there are all kinds of tofu and mushrooms, as well as eggs.

Finally, a soup was served, a top-grade vegetable soup.

A table of 24 dishes is gathered, which means "24 solar terms".

Everyone eats without talking, because the ancients paid attention to "no talking when eating, no talking when sleeping".

After a sumptuous dinner, the Wu family sat together, and the old lady began to distribute lucky money. The first one was of course Wu Jun, followed by Wu Jun's wife, and then the wife of Fang.

The wife of the second room is pregnant, and her stomach has already grown, but she is not yet bloated, but she is a little lack of energy. It is the Chinese New Year, and she also gave rewards there, but it is one level less than that of the eldest room.

The New Year's money that Mrs. Wu gave her was also one level less than that of the big house.

The number was the same as what Wu Xu and Wu Youwei said, and Wu Youwei was secretly dumbfounded. The news among these servants is quite well-informed.
