"That's great, Young Mistress. It's not that I'm delicate, it's just that this crappy courtyard can't compare to your Fragrant Storey. We haven't even stretched our legs in this courtyard and we've already reached the end. That Madam Hou …"
Seeing that her words were getting more and more outrageous, Aunt Liu immediately coughed twice. Spring Scene smiled and said, "Aunt, it's freezing already. Come, sit next to me, sit next to me.
Aunt Liu looked at her with a helpless expression, causing everyone in the room to burst into laughter.
"Young Mistress, lunch is ready, do you want to set the table?" When the little girl outside came to report, Mu Rousang realized that it was already noon, and said: "All of you eat together, Aunt Liu, come sit over here."
She then said to the little girl who came to report, "Go and warm up two pots of osmanthus wine. We'll have a change of taste today. This is a gift from one of Zixuan's colleagues. Let's have a good meal while he's away."
Spring Breeze heard him and said, "That's great. This servant has long smelled the osmanthus wine in that jar. It smells the same as the cinnamon in our old house."
Spring Scene took the lead and said, "Young Mistress, you have to get more people to heat up the pots. With your alcohol tolerance, how can you possibly have more servants to share with you?"
Chun Yan couldn't help but say, "That's right, that's right. Young Mistress, please warm up three or four more jugs. You can drink two jugs of wine by yourself. The five of us will need at least half a pot."
Mu Rousang pointed at the servants and laughed at Aunt Liu: Look at these little hooves, they are really able to climb upwards, but today, your Young Mistress is happy, so I will fulfill your wish.
The Gui Yuan was very lively, but Su Waner was so angry that shshedid not even eat food. It was like she was being smashed, even Zhui Er felt pain in his heart, from the time Mu Rousang was married into the Gui Yuan, he had at least lost 2000 taels of silver worth of porcelain. Although it was not an antique from the previous dynasty, it was still fine quality porcelain.
She looked down at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and had no choice but to call someone to come in and clean them up. She then entered the room and said, "Young Mistress, why do you need to go through so much trouble? Look at the new porcelain pieces, they need to be replaced with new ones.
Su Waner was so angry that she wanted to grab his teacup and throw it on the ground. Hearing Zhui Er's words, she asked: "Did you spend a lot?"
"Yes, I spent about two thousand silver taels before and after, but after adding a new batch, I would need at least a few hundred silver taels." Yes, I already spent a total of two thousand silver taels before and after adding a new batch, I would need at least a few hundred silver taels.
Su Waner laughed: This year's weather is smooth sailing, adding to the good land, it should be able to take in around five to six thousand gold, adding to that the shop in the capital, it will be able to take in twenty to thirty thousand, and when spring starts next year, we can add in a few more fields. Zhui Er, these days are getting better.
Zhui Er laughed: "Young Mistress is still the smartest, it's just that people around the shop said that it's the The House of the Marquis of Loyalty's shop, who wouldn't dare to sell their face?"
Su Waner laughed proudly: "That's true." However, in the next moment, her face darkened once again. When she thought of Mu Rousang, she could not suppress the jealousy in her heart and said, "I'm afraid there isn't even this number in Gui Yuan."
She ran five fingers over the edges.
"A hundred thousand?" Zhui Er was completely shocked.
Su Waner said: "Yes, she has two embroidery estates on the west side of the city, what is the boundary on the west side? That's the place where merchants gather, the most being gold and silver. The profits from the stores there are no less than those in the east of the city. " How would she know? It was because her family's sister-in-law had a grocery store there, but the profits from that store caught up to her rouge shop on the east side of the city.
Zhui Er said in dissatisfaction: "But Young Mistress, what do we do about the silver carbon? That Third Young Madam has so much money, why didn't he send some to the envoys in the manor? "
Su Waner laughed coldly and said: "You can say that? I can't say that. " She could twist and turn, but she couldn't put it on the surface.
"Young Mistress, it's obvious that Third Young Madam does not want to help." Zhui Er felt that since Mu Rousang had so many silver carbon, he should just take them out for her Palace to use.
Su Waner thought for a moment, then said: "Let's eat first, I will personally go to her place in the afternoon, it's not like you have never seen the silver carbon there, they are truly top-notch." She really wanted to snatch all of Mu Rousang's carbon for exchange for silver.
Seeing that she did not want to say anymore, Zhui Er quickly retreated.
When Su Waner thought about how the silver carbon had exchanged all the money for Snowflake Flowers, she could not hold her emotions anymore. She hurriedly ate her lunch and without waiting for her afternoon nap, she said: "Chai Er, go and find a new set of clothes that I want to wear, I want to wear it today. Zhui Er, take out the newly made brocade cloak and place it on top of the incense cage to smoke."
He then asked the little girl to start a furnace for her, and the little girl that he called was the one listening outside, Xing Er. Seeing that Su Waner only had a good colored porcelain furnace, she finally understood that Third Young Madam's family background was merely a few streets away, and was secretly glad that she had obtained Mu Rousang's green eyes.
Then, she quickly found an excuse to slip out of the courtyard and quickly got in front of Su Waner to deliver the message to him.
When Chun Yi heard that she had come, he immediately slipped through the thick layer of cotton and went out of the courtyard. Seeing that Xing Er was huddled up in a corner, she quickly passed her her small stove and asked: "Didn't you just reply, why have you come over?"
Xing Er was afraid that Su Waner would come, and immediately said: "Big sister, quickly go back and tell Third Young Madam, Eldest Young Lady is still full of evil intentions, and is thinking about her silver carbon, in a while she will bring Zhui Er and the others over."
I know about this, you go back first, or come back later to claim your rewards when you're free tonight. I'm afraid that it's too late, you have to use this information, our Young Mistress will not mistreat you, you can also go back and discuss it with your mother, father and sister.
Xing Er was overjoyed that she got the letter. She thought that if she received an extra reward, her monthly salary would be no less than a first-rate maidservants's. She quickly thanked him and returned the furnace in her hands.
Chun Yi laughed: "I see that you like it so why don't you take it and use it? It's just a few hundred coins per piece, My Young Grandmother bought a lot so we can choose to use it."
Xing Er was even more convinced by Chun Yi's words, and immediately thanked him. He only said that he would find time to collect his rewards in the evening, and then decided to return.
Chun Yi called out to her and said, "You should head this way. Although you went to the East District, in the end, you won't run into your master."
Xing Er laughed: "Of course, my courage is small, I was anxious to the point of being confused." Only then did he leave with the small stove.
After listening, she laughed and said, "She is greedy for wealth, why don't we play with her? Chun Yi, go and get my gold plum blossom cloak. Chun Yi, go and bring the fresh goat's milk and almond cake to Kitchen, the weather is even colder than usual today, let's go and see the matriarch."
The few girls hurriedly moved about, waiting for Mu Rousang to clean up properly before bringing lass out, leaving him at home to watch over.
When she went around the corner with lass on her front foot, she disappeared, and Su Waner brought lass to look for her.
After knocking on the door, she saw that other than the old laurel tree, there were no other flowers or plants in the courtyard. Aunt Liu had long known that she would be here, but she was sitting calmly in the Western Warm Pavilion doing naughty things.
Seeing that there was no one else in the courtyard other than the two old gatekeepers, Su Waner asked: "Where is your master?"
That old woman was living quite comfortably under Mu Rousang's management. However, when Su Waner saw her, she immediately remembered that she was also a stingy iron rooster, so she only said perfunctorily, "She went to the matriarch's place."
Seeing that Mu Rousang was not around, Su Waner was not sure whether she should go and find the matriarch directly, or wait for her to come back.
Another old woman laughed and said: "Look at what Eldest Young Lady has said, how would we know what the masters are planning? She said that after dinner, our Young Master would take her back to the house. That is normal too."
Hearing that, Su Waner was afraid that she would not be able to wait for Mu Rousang this afternoon, so she brought lass back to her room.
When the old granny saw that she had gone far away, she spat towards her back and said: "Hmph, I thought that Eldest Young Lady was amazing. That day when we were waiting at her courtyard, she did not care about us, unlike the Third Young Madam, where she would pull out the charcoal according to the number of our heads every day. I have always wished to guard the gatehouse day and night, but it is much warmer than my house."
Another woman said, "That's right. Let's go and quickly close the door. I'm afraid the sweet potatoes we stewed will be cooked by now."
You're right, pick a big one and send it over to Aunt Liu, she's the only one who's guarding inside the house right now! That wife thought for a while and said, just now when Su Waner came, no one said that there was a Aunt Liu in their family that could make the decision, and that it was the two of them that did not like Wan'er.
Furthermore, Mu Rousang brought lass to her place, she was usually a child who knew how to cry, so of course, she was not far from Main yard, so she said to Chun Yan: "Where's the ginger handkerchief, quickly wipe it for me."
She wanted to pinch her lower leg, but it was too late. She could only take the handkerchief that was stained with ginger juice and dab it on her eyes. Tears immediately flowed down her face as she scolded, "You little hoof, how can you do so much?"
Chun Xiao innocently wiped her tears away with a handkerchief and said, "Young Mistress, you really wrongly accused me. You clearly said that you wanted us to release more servants, but I'm afraid it's not enough."
Chun Yi took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, causing her tears to flow uncontrollably. She scolded, "Chun Yan, don't you think you've messed with the ginger you hid in the winter?"
When Chun Jing saw this, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and said with tears flowing, "Wuu wuu, Young Mistress, it's so spicy!"
