After watching Shen Mama leave, Chun Feng picked up the colored porcelain teacup with a pained expression and said unhappily: "Young Mistress, it's true that you broke such a beautiful teacup just for this little bit of silver. Another set of tableware is still missing."

Mu Rousang replied in amusement: "Do you think I don't know what you guys are thinking? Forget it, after falling down, with just one tea cup left, I already gave it to you guys for tea."

Chun Yi and Chun Yi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, then said smilingly, "Tsk, tsk, such a beautiful cup servant has been thinking about this for a long time. Chun Feng, remember to keep this tea set properly.

"Of course, it's just a set of tea set worth a few dozen taels. That means our young mistress will reward them with something new, but it makes them jealous for a while again."

Mu Rousang crooked her eyebrows and pointed at the few of them: "So you guys had already planned this for a long time, so you just hoped that I could break one of you?"

The five of us can drink it on a normal day, but if there's an extra empty cup, who would be the one to share it with? Could it be that every time someone comes over, he has to drink two cups? "

Chun Yi said disdainfully, "You're a big teapot, but we can't drink from you."

Spring Breeze added, "Hai, only Young Mistress won't soften her grip when she falls from the sky. If this cup were to fall on that old demoness' body, I would be slightly relieved, but it would still fall on her feet."

"How would you know? Our Young Mistress is just telling her that our Young Mistress isn't short on money." Spring Scene replied in a loud voice.

He saw through this and said, "How can that be? Not only did our young mistress tell that old lady that she does not lack money, she also wanted to show her who the old lady is. She is that old woman's personal mother."

She pointed towards the Main yard and asked curiously: "Young Mistress, why do you still accept this job even though you know that you don't have enough money?"

Mu Rousang did not take the matter of the tea set to heart at all, and continued to eat his melon seeds, laughing: "You still think they are stupid, and it turns out you can't see through them, so I'll tell the three of you, there are three great beasts as offering sacrifices, the three great beasts are the meat of pigs, cows, and sheep, and the three small beasts are the meat of chickens, ducks and fishes."

She didn't understand why the nobles here didn't eat pork? Why can we offer sacrifices to our ancestors? Forget it, it was better for her to not think about these things, so she continued: "These six, along with the seafood and venison, can't be lacking on the main table. There must be pigs, chickens, ducks, and fishes at the side table."

"So it turns out that Madam Hou didn't even give us enough money. What should we do? Young Mistress, we can't afford to lose out." The Spring Festival Gala was the first to shout out.

Spring Breeze tugged at her and jokingly scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? "Listen to our young mistress first."

Mu Rousang laughed: "This matter is not difficult to handle. Let's not talk about the other side, don't we have a lot of living beings in our village? Then, I left the manor and earned some money for nothing. I have to calculate it at the usual price. "

If she were to directly pick up living beings from the manor and not go through the second or third person traders, the price of these living beings in her possession would be one to two pounds higher than the usual prices.

Chun Yi immediately understood and smiled, "Our young mistress has a mulberry farm. It was Young Master who brought it here to play with her. I presume you still have all those things."

"Sigh, it solved a big problem for me. In the other two villages, I brought them to the restaurant, but this one is not big, and getting the restaurant is not enough, so I could only put it aside and use it as a sacrifice. As for the cow, sheep, and deer, aren't these things for the ancestors? "Chun Yi, go to the clan members' houses and ask them if they are willing to sell those animals at the market price. Although mother's money is a bit small, if anyone is willing, tell them that our house can't let the clan members suffer losses even if we put some money on them in private."

She thought that this method was really good. Those clan members were not all wealthy. A sheep could be exchanged for several taels of silver. Even if they saved up some money in the capital, it would still be good to eat and drink for two to three months.

The matriarch may have shared the animals with them, but they were transported back from outside the pass. I heard that they just arrived tomorrow, and there will be twenty-four hours left.

With just a few of them being open-minded, it was possible that the Madam Hou had set his eyes on those horny students. Mu Rousang's attack was secretly aimed at her face.

"Young Mistress, we won't lose anything doing this, will we?" Spring Breeze was still a little worried.

Mu Rousang replied with a smile: "How can I lose! All the food was brought over from that small village, but it was all for nothing, nothing more than a waste of effort. "

From now on, even if they were going to split up, they would not be too biased towards Yang Zizhi. She did not want to stay in the courtyard and chat with the group of women for two years;

After Chun Yi heard this, he remembered that they were eating outside in the snow. It was too cold, so he asked: "Young Mistress, that noodle was placed on top of the back street. However, both noodle and noodle are ventilated, I'm afraid …"

Mu Rousang thought for a bit, then said: "But there's nothing I can do about it, the ancestral hall is at back street, it's just that the cold weather is unbearable for adults, and those children are probably the most intolerable. Ah, let's do it like this, Chunyi, you can take out several dozens of silver from my private treasury to add bamboo mats, and get people to set up a shed, and also add on a tiled basin, spring scenery, you can accompany Aunt to go to my two villages tomorrow to bring some wood and carbon over, regardless of ordering a feast for the carbon basin, it's better to put them in the shed to drive the cold."

She stretched out her hand to rub her brow. She might have been too lazy for too long, but she was really tired of these trivial matters.

When Spring Scene heard this, he said unhappily, "And also called us a house to pay for money, that Madam Hou is really …"

Chun Yi stretched out her hand to poke her forehead and smiled: "You are an idiot. How can you bear to have a child with such an ingrate?"

Seeing that the two were having fun, Mu Rousang unknowingly laughed out loud, and said: "Right or left, is one kiln enough, it's not really that good, I just want to tell those children not to freeze. Also, since it's such a cold day, I think it's better to save time, get a few cows, sheep, deer, deer, hotpot deer, and add a few vegetables, beans and so on, it'll be warm to eat, the taste good, the dishes will be good."

"It's good to have a hot pot. It looks like it will snow on New Year's Eve. Young Mistress, I'm afraid we'll have to get someone to stir-fry the melon seeds and peanuts first." Spring also began to ponder about how to save more effort and trouble. She didn't want to tire her master out by doing such a thing.

Mu Rousang stretched lazily, she extended her slender jade finger and pointed towards the direction of the big kitchen, and laughed: "Isn't that just right over there? Therefore, we sent people to look for Madam with the intention of saving money. We only said that she would be busy these few days, and that she would definitely take care of this small matter at the same time. After cooking all the dry goods, you would arrange for the kitchen to wrap some steamed buns with vegetables and make some steamed buns, and then you would kill the chickens, ducks, and fishes that you wanted.

Mu Rousang planned to earn Yang Zixuan a good reputation, while Madam Hou schemed for Mu Rousang to take out his dowry and arrange this matter.

On the 24th day of the year, the yamen was sealed for business, and friends and family members in the capital were given annual festivals. Originally, Liu Gui's house had given him annual festivals, but they did not want to be mistaken by Yang Juan Er and registered with the officials.

"Chun Yan, why don't you tell us why the Wei Family's Eldest Young Lady has yet to send someone to deliver the New Year festivities?"

Chun Yi looked through the accounts books that he had obtained from the past few days and found that only the Princess Jing'an and the others had brought the items that they bought from her, and not a single one of them had given her the New Year festivities.

Spring Dye was helping Mu Rousang count the number of prime points that she had to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony. In the past, when she opened the shrine, she would put in a lot of firecrackers and give a lot of gifts to the monks.

"Impossible, this year there are more than ten of our Young Master's colleagues, plus the merchants from the past. Our Young Mistress had people prepare annual festivals to send to them, there's no reason for us not to return the gifts."

The two maids thought about it and felt that it was strange, but she did not want to bother Mu Rousang, so Chun Yun said: "How about this, I'll go ahead and ask around, and when I understand everything, then we'll see, if Aunt comes back to find me, she'll say that I'm going to take care of this matter."

Chun Yan got up from the brick bed, picked up a new rabbit fur coat and a pair of cowhide boots, and put them on. Chun gave a smile and said, "Only our Young Mistress can afford to give us these things."

"Of course, you did not see Madam and the servants from Eldest Young Lady, who wore cotton shoes and walked around on wooden clogs in the snow. I heard that there were a few girls from Chai Er and his wife who did not have any ulcers on their feet, and would feel hot air, itchy and painful at the same time." Chun Yan felt that the Owner was really good.

"We were lucky. Young Mistress, please go and clarify this matter. My right eyelid has been jumping around for the past few days, and my heart is not at ease." Spring helped her get her short cloak and urged her to go ahead and get to the bottom of this.

Chunyi took the cloak and went out. He thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. So he called four rough women from the courtyard and chased after him.

When Chun Yun saw that a few people had followed him over, he felt that the spring breeze was too much. He went up to the front and asked the steward, and when the steward saw that it was a personal servant of the Third Young Madam, he did not dare to carelessly take it out on her. He immediately told her, that she had to go to the four girls of the Marquis Mansion, Yang Juan Er, to handle this matter.

"I forgot, this matter is being taken care of by the four girls." Chun Yan smiled apologetically.

The overseer waved his hand and said, "I heard yesterday that some of the officials who don't frequent the house of the Marquis have also come to deliver their New Year festivals. It's probably the annual festivals that Miss Chun Yun spoke of."
