The Zhou family, because of the donation of food and materials caused by Zhulan’s holding a painting banquet, several families sent old clothes and food to the Zhouhou Mansion. food.
This is not the entire Ning clan, but only the amount of two Hou residences.
The Wang family has fewer old clothes, and the servants don’t have many old clothes. The old clothes of the family’s children should be left to the younger brothers and sisters to wear. Of course, for the sake of decency, generally they will not be worn in the house after 50% of them are old.
The servants' old clothes are not bought for nothing, but converted into silver money. The master's clothes cannot be donated. The fabrics are graded, and the children can't wear them even if they are donated.
As the number of masters in the Zhou family increased, there were also many servants, and some families had children. The Zhou family has been having a lot of happy events over the years. There are many opportunities for servants to double their monthly money in a year, and they all have some family background.
When the Zhulan family looked at the clothes, the Zhou family's servants had the best old clothes, basically 70% of them were new, followed by the Ninghou Mansion with 65%, and then the Wang family.
Zhulan's focus is on her family. Yu's family suffered a great disaster in the past, and it is said that her family wealth was stolen. She returned to Dingzhou and kept a low profile. She should have hidden her way back, otherwise the Yu family would not have developed so well.
Fifty percent of the old clothes of the servants of Yu's family are new, but they are not many. The servants of Yu's family just came to Beijing, and the servants don't bring much. Instead, they donated five carts of food, and there are two carts of refined grain.
Boss Zhou stood beside his mother and stretched out his hand to touch the refined grain, "New rice."
It's still new grain without old rice, and now there are few grain shops in the market, so the family has made a lot of money.
Zhu Lan said, "The Yu family took the opportunity to thank our family."
"Thanks to our family?"
"Well, I don't invite Yu's family, Yu's family can't participate in good deeds, and I can't get a good name. I bring good deeds to Yu's family, and Mrs. Yu can quickly integrate into the circle of female family members in the capital through me."
Who is she invited? The Ning family is the mother family of the empress dowager, the Wang family is the big family, and the Ran family is the mother family of Concubine Ran, the eldest princess' family. If you encounter it, you will take care of it a bit.
Naturally, the Yu family would like to thank them, and I hope that the leader of the Zhou family will look better by sending more food.
Boss Zhou thought about the taste, "Yu's family is transparent."
"If the Yu family can go to Beijing again, the Yu family can understand everything. It's alright. After you register here, you can send it to the household department. Master Zhang will receive it."
Zhou Laodao: "Mother, you have been out for a while. The weather is strangely cold. Go back and rest."
Zhulan didn't go back, and continued to explain, "You send someone to Zhuangzi to pick some vegetables, and then grab some geese to send to a few families. Everyone will let our family take the lead in gaining fame. Let's return some courtesy, the courtesy is not the heart. ."
Boss Zhou understood, but his tone was hesitant, "Mother, my son left the goose to lay eggs, and there's not much to eat."
Zhulan sighed, "I also know who made the goose a rarity, just watch and catch it."
Several families have Zhuangzi people. There are sheep and pigs on Zhuangzi, but there may not be big geese. Even if there are not many, they will be eaten long ago. Unlike Zhou's family, because Shuren likes to eat goose, Zhuangzi raises it. A lot, and it's still in stock now.
Boss Zhou is very precious to his geese, "Mother, I'll go and see for myself later."
He is now precious to Zhuangzi's living creatures. The sheep cannot move, and the sheep must keep their cubs for breeding. There are still a few pigs that can be killed, and there are quite a few chickens and ducks. what.
Boss Zhou pursed his lips. He hadn't eaten fresh beef for a long time. Hey, his family has contributed too much to the breeding of the imperial court.
The Ministry of Household, Boss Zhou received by Zhang Jinghong, "Why did the prince come in person?"
"I am the most free at home, so I came over in person, is my father here?"
Zhang Jinghong glanced at the vehicle, yo, there are quite a few, "Lord Shang Shu will stay in the palace for the next day, and he has not yet left the palace."
When Boss Zhou heard that his father was not there, he hurried to Zhuangzi and asked, "Master Zhang is a list, where do you see the unloading?"
Zhang Jinghong had already cleared out a few houses, "Your Highness, please."
Boss Zhou motioned for the little servant who was carrying things to follow, and waited for them to move down, "Then I'll go back first."
Zhang Jinghong personally sent out the door of the household department, "Sir, walk slowly."
Boss Zhou took so many carriages to the Ministry of Housing, which was very eye-catching in the capital. Boss Zhou hadn’t arrived home, and those who inquired about the news already knew about donating old clothes.
Because of Zhou Shuren's proposal in the early days, some people scoffed at Zhou Shuren's hypocrisy, some admired the Zhou family, and then it was gone, and no one donated anything.
Zhou Shuren went out of the palace in the afternoon. He had lunch with the Emperor Taishang at noon. When he returned to the Ministry of Housing, he saw a room full of old clothes. There were quite a few old clothes. Zhang Jinghong asked someone to separate out the men’s and women’s clothes, classify them according to their size, and give them away. There are not many cotton-padded clothes, most of them are summer clothes.
Zhou Shuren already knew that the emperor took out money from his private treasury to set up an orphanage. Who would let the emperor put his name on it? He didn't look good if he didn't have the money, so he took out 20,000 taels of silver in one breath.
In the Yu family, when the Liu family saw the things sent by the Zhouhou Mansion, the smile on Liu's face deepened. The Zhou family was willing to bring it to the house, and the return gift was proof, "Try the dishes from the Zhouhou Mansion Zhuangzi tonight."
The Yu family just entered Beijing, and they fought again last year. The price of Zhuangzi that was not for sale in the vicinity of the capital has skyrocketed. The Yu family currently has no Zhuangzi in the capital, and their roots are still in Dingzhou.
This year, when there is a shortage of food, it will be even more difficult to buy vegetables in the capital. Yu family has wealth, and there are very few vegetables that can be bought with money. Today, I am happy to see green vegetables. For families in the South.
Bai Shi, the wife of the eldest son, said, "Mother, does the granddaughter of Lord Zhou have a marriage relationship?"
Mrs Liu looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, "You mean Miss Thursday?"
Bai nodded, "Yes, Miss Thursday, what do you think?"
Liu's is naturally very satisfied. Miss Thursday has a good character and appearance, but she never thought about her son. How should I put it? It's not that Miss Thursday is bad, but she is too good. That was praised by the queen. Miss Thursday's father is also very good, and the master even praised it last year.
As for his own son, even if Liu Shi was partial to kissing his son, he had to admit that his son smiled stupidly, how could he feel that he was not worthy of others, the eldest daughter of the third house of the Zhou family, and the **** Thursday could be the clan wife.
Bai's heart is also awkward, and she doesn't want to find a powerful younger brother and sister to enter the door, but the Yu family has been away from the capital for too many years, and the Yu family in Dingzhou is almost the same, but it is almost impossible to enter the capital.
Mrs. Bai remembers Xianggong saying that the Yu family lost the game because of Zhou Hou's words. Is there a more suitable in-law than the Zhou family?
Bai Shi thought for a while and said, "Mother, the second brother's temperament requires a lady who can lead the family."
Liu Shi said faintly: "You and I said lightly, that is Zhouhou's mansion, or Zhouhou's mansion that can be hereditary. Lord Hou has power, and his son is also promising. There are many aristocratic families staring at the **** Thursday, and Yu's family is not good. ."
Shi Bai choked, yes, Zhou Hou's mansion may not be regarded as a family, and Shi Bai was depressed, so he didn't mention it anymore.
