Although Tian's mother and son live in Cao's mansion, they are said to be the same as the masters of the Cao family.

Let's just say that the winter clothes of the brothers who live in Zuo and Zuo Cheng are four sets a year, sewn by needlework. All cloth and cotton wool are purchased and distributed by the government.

Amethystum housekeeper, know the price outside. The high-quality silk cotton is made of lake silk and cotton wool, the color is white, and the price is quite expensive, a catty costs five or six dollars of silver. Counting cotton alone, the best new cotton is only 80 yuan a catty. If you want to talk about old cotton, it will not exceed forty Wen.

Amethyst looked at the cotton pants, her face was silent, and when she saw that the children were playing in the snow and wetting their clothes, she sent someone to take Niuniu and God bless them to go back to change their clothes.

Lian Zuo Chengdu was taken down by his mother-in-law to change his clothes, and Amethyst watched Niuniu clean up Zuo Zhu's sand before standing up and saying to Tian: "Grandma Tian, I have a bottle of ointment made by the Internal Affairs Office over there, which is for scar removal." Let Mama Yang follow me to get it, and after a few days, Young Master Song will fall off the scab, and use it just right. ”

Tian followed and got up and thanked him gratefully.

Amethyst said two more words and went back to the Kwai Courtyard with Mama Yang. said that it was a grandmother, but in fact Yang was less than forty, and she was a sturdy and stocky woman.

Yang is the mother of the little walnut, and originally joined the Cao family with the Tian family. Since before Tian's birth, he has been by Tian's side. After the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng landed, she was the nanny of the two brothers.

When he arrived at the wing room of the Kwai Courtyard, in the Amethyst house, Amethyst did not immediately take the medicine bottle, but said to the Yang family: "Sister-in-law Yang sit." While talking, he told the little girl to go to tea.

Yang sat next to the stool, a little apprehensive in his heart.

Amethyst is not very old, but she is relied on by the Cao family, and her identity is not idle.

After the little girl finished serving the tea, only Amethyst and Yang were left in the room, and Amethyst said: "Sister-in-law Yang, the food and clothing supply of the Mei Courtyard, is there anything to be lacking in?" ”

When Yang heard this, his face was a little uncomfortable, squeaked, and said for a while: "Miss Amethyst, the affairs of our yard are mostly taken care of by Sister-in-law Qin." ”

Amethyst didn't hear it in vain, and asked, "Three meals a day, plus four seasons of clothes, are all the various supplies every month appropriate?" ”

Yang hesitated for a moment, finally lowered his head, and said: "It's all good, Grandma Tian is also grateful, and when I talk about the little one, I can only be grateful to the uncle and the big grandmother." ”

Amethyst sighed in her heart, that Qin family was Chu Yu's companion. When he was assigned to Meiyuan as an errand boy, Chu Yu was afraid that some of his subordinates would look down on people, so he deliberately arranged for the Qin family to go over on an errand.

Although he is usually by Tian's side, the most appropriate one is the Yang family, but the Yang family is a late arrival, where can it be compared with the grandmother's companion room?

Seeing Yang like this, Amethyst also knew that he couldn't ask anything. In this mansion, there is no one who can cover the sky with one hand, but this Qin clan is inappropriate.

She got up and took the medicine from the cabinet, handed it to the Yang family, and said, "Uncle and grandma have never treated Grandma Tian as an outsider, if there are black-hearted subordinates who dare to bully the master, there will be retribution after all." It's good for Sister-in-law Yang to be cautious, and she must also know to be careful and don't be a fool. ”

Yang had already gotten up, lowered his head and said yes, so he heard Amethyst say again: "After I go back, I will wrap a set of cotton clothes for the two young masters and Grandma Tian, and after dinner, ask the little walnut to quietly send it over." ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Yang and said, "Sister-in-law Yang's cotton clothes are also wrapped in one, and then find a little maid in your yard." ”

No matter how clumsy Yang was, he could hear that something was wrong, and looked up at Amethyst, his face showed a little pleading: "Girl, ......"

Amethyst glanced at her and said, "You don't have to be afraid, if the Qin family's hands and feet are really unclean, the first one who can't spare her is the eldest grandmother." ”

Seeing that Amethyst's attitude was unquestionable, Yang could only respond in a low voice.

Seeing her like this, Amethyst couldn't help frowning, and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, you are also a poor person. You should know that if you two are allowed to enter the house, the uncle and the grandmother will see the love of Grandma Zaitian. People should know how to be grateful, and not lose their conscience because they want to save themselves. ”

Yang was so ashamed that he muttered speechless.

Amethyst didn't want to have anything to do with her, so she waved her hand and told her to go back first.

When the Yang family went out, Amethyst looked up and looked at the sitting clock on the table, it was already the second quarter of Shen Chu (half past three in the afternoon), and after a while, Li and Chu Yu would come back from the palace.

Since the Qin family is involved, you have to ask Chu Yu to come to the ...... * Hutong mouth, Cao Hao rode on a horse, and followed the carriage of the Cao family to return home together.

Today is the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and it is the first ceremony of the Empress Dowager of Daxing. The wives of the princes and hundreds of officials and officials above the second rank of the Eight Banners all gathered in Zigong to mourn.

All kinds of cumbersome rituals came down, and the kung fu passed.

It seems that it is a small year, but because of the queen mother's national funeral, there is no joy of the New Year in the capital, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

Cao Hao's mood was quite heavy.

According to the news heard by the Sixteenth Elder Brother, the Jungger soldiers had arrived in Lhasa, and Lazang Khan had written to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements.

With the advent of the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, the glorious era of the fourteenth elder brother is coming. Now, the fourteenth elder brother can still endure it; When he is in high spirits, he may have a seizure.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are of the same age, why is Kangxi unwilling to give the thirteenth elder brother a chance?

After the thirteenth elder brother Tangquan noodles, he was in bed for half a month before he got better.

Cao Hao thought about the thirteenth elder brother's heart, and couldn't help but complain to himself, is it too much. If it weren't for his previous encouragement, the Thirteenth Elder Brother would not have gradually recovered his vitality. Rather than having hope and dying again, it is better to live in a state of confusion.

After entering the mansion, Cao Hao first went to the Lanyuan to see his father, and when he saw that he looked better, he felt much more relieved. After talking for a while, Cao Hao got up and went back to Wutong Garden.

The husband and wife changed their clothes, Tianyou and Hengsheng asked their parents to say goodbye, and the Feng family also asked the mother-in-law to send Tianhui over.

The little girl is so clingy that she has to go back to Wutong Courtyard every day to settle down.

Cao Hao hugged his daughter and said a few words. Xicai had already brought someone to set the meal, so Chu Yu sent someone back to the Kwai Courtyard to tell Amethyst that she would leave her son to eat here.

After eating, Tianyou and Hengsheng glanced at each other and said that Zuozhu fell.

Hearing that his knee was bleeding, Chu Yu couldn't help frowning and glanced at Cao Hao with disgust. When Cao Hao asked people to pour the ice rink, Chu Yu disagreed, because he was afraid that the children would be small and bump into it, which would make people feel distressed.

Cao Hao said that boys should be more solid, and they can't be booked in the study all day.

Now, Cao Hao heard that Zuo Zhu had knocked down, and he was also a little uneasy, and asked: "Is the fall bad, is there a doctor here?" ”

Tianyou replied: "Sister Qi Niang said that it is no big deal, there is no need to ask for a doctor." ”

Cao Hao listened to it, and then he was relieved. Chu Yu's side had already stood up and said to Cao Hao: "E, I'd better go over and take a look, or I won't worry." How old the child is, Sister-in-law Tian doesn't know what to worry about. ”

Cao Hao nodded, Chu Yu made ** coax Tianhui to settle, she took a few maids to visit the Mei Courtyard, Tianyou and Hengsheng two, stayed in Wutong Garden, and Cao Hao asked about his homework.

is afraid of his sons, herding sheep after the private school is closed, Cao Hao left them "winter vacation homework", that is, to memorize the "Analects".

God bless is not a problem, but it is still difficult on Hengsheng's side. Cao Hao looked at him scratching his head and scratching his ears, remembering the scene of his endorsement when he was a child, and couldn't help but ...... * Meiyuan here, Chu Yu saw that Zuozhu was really fine, so he put his mind at ease and talked to Tian for a while before saying goodbye.

When she arrived at the door, she was invited by Amethyst to Aoi Courtyard.

Chu Yu is used to looking at his face, and when he sees Amethyst waiting for him, he already knows that something is different in his heart. When she arrived at Aoiyuan, she sent several people down.

"Is there something going on in the house?" Chu Yu asked.

Amethyst said that the supply of the Mei Courtyard was wrong, and Chu Yu was angry when she heard it, and she was silent for a long time and said, "Is there a person over there in the Rong Courtyard?" ”

"It's fine over there." Amethyst replied: "I called a few stewards and asked Niuniu, and no one dared to slack off and deceive." ”

"The total number is still one place, otherwise I really wouldn't have the face to see my uncle." Chu Yu sighed and said, "Although I came here with a marriage, when I entered this door, I am a slave of the Cao family." My sister doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Amethyst heard this, but did not answer.

No matter how Amethyst takes care of the house, the housewife in this house is Chu Yu. On the Qin family's side, it can only be handled by Chu Yu, and it is difficult for Amethyst and Li to interfere, otherwise it will hurt Chu Yu's face.

Chu Yu saw that Amethyst didn't speak, and he also knew this truth. She picked up the new cotton clothes on the left, looked at the inferior cotton exposed, gritted her teeth......* Back to Wutong Garden, Chu Yu hesitated, but still told Cao Hao the truth.

Cao Hao's side, furious, looked at Chu Yu and said, "Let's all be polite, do you put up a score upside down?" This is dazzling by silver, how to deal with it? ”

He felt guilty for his carelessness and complained about his wife. The Qin family dared to be so bold, specifying that it would not happen overnight, it was Chu Yu's momentum behind it, otherwise how could he hide Amethyst.

This is in his own home, and Tian's mother and son are wronged, how can Cao Hao not get angry?

"Such a black-hearted minion naturally can't stay, hit dozens of boards, and get out." Chu Yu said.

"Being an errand and getting a monthly salary is enough to support the family. It's really a lack of people's hearts. The old lady has a good temper, and you rarely deal with people, so some people don't know what to do. There are too many people in the house, so it doesn't matter if you brought it or here, if it is inappropriate, let out a few more rooms. There are too many people left in the inner house, and it is useless, not enough for them to make trouble. Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "Like the Qin family, there must not be one or two. Today, in order to covet a few taels of silver, he can treat Tian's family and Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng harshly; For the sake of silver, Ming'er can reach out to Tianyou and Hengsheng. It is also a woe to keep it, and it is better to get rid of them all. ”

People's hearts are separated from their bellies, Cao Hao always prevents Diao slaves from committing murder, and he is quite strict with the people in the house, but he didn't expect that there are people in this inner house.

When Chu Yu heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Now in the national funeral, too many people are let out at once, and there is an incident, which is also eye-catching. Otherwise, find the reason first, go to the village, and then release the person after the year. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "If there is anyone willing to redeem, I will allow it to be redeemed." It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Save yourself from holding grudges and going out to slander. ”

Chu Yu nodded in response, but the Qin clan did not escape.

The next time, just without entering the palace to mourn, Chu Yu found a reason, attacked the Qin family, and beat forty boards in front of the head of the inner house. This is not to take into account the Queen Mother's funeral and avoid it.

Qin was half dead in pain and begged repeatedly.

Chu Yu didn't look at her, and ordered the Zhao Anjia to take over the Qin family's errand. Zhao An's family is Huixin, who served by Cao Hao's side in his early years, and he is a stable person. Chu Yu was afraid that others would not be satisfied, so he explained the Mei Yuan to her.

Even if the Qin family was originally confused, he knew that he had exposed his hands and feet in his previous behavior, dragged his body to the board, knelt up and kept slapping his mouth, only begging the master to spare him.

Chu Yu glanced at her and said to Amethyst, "What kind of errand is her man?" I heard that there are three more children? ”

This Qin family, she really hated it, where would she keep it again.

"Back to the grandmother, her man was the manager of the grandmother's shop, and he has been on an errand in the front yard for the past few years, waiting for the masters to go out. has a daughter who works as a little maid in the plum courtyard; The two sons are the companions of Young Master Song. Amethyst replied.

Chu Yu listened, didn't look at the Qin family again, and said lightly: "From now on, everyone will be sent to Zhuangzi to be a servant of Zhuangzi." Let people look good, and they are not allowed to take anything out except put it on their bodies. ”

The Qin family was already frightened, and the housekeeper and daughter-in-law who were standing also had white faces.

As a house slave, the great dignity is given by the master, and the master can naturally take it back with a word......* Regarding Chu Yu's disposal of the Qin family, Cao Hao didn't say anything after hearing it, but just asked her to list all the family rules. There are more than 100 mouths in this house, even if there are people who are not angry, everything is done in accordance with the rules, and they can prevent problems before they happen.

He also knew in his heart that whether it was in the eyes of outsiders or in the eyes of the people in the house, Tian's mother and son were all under the fence. Although Cao Hao recognized his righteous son, the world pays attention to blood relatives.

Tian's external identity is the niece of the Cao family's former Xixi, which has a relatively weak relationship with the Cao family.

From the Qin clan's lesson, it also enables others to know the severity.

The housework here is annoying Cao Hao, and when he arrives in the palace, he is entangled by the sixteenth elder brother. It turned out that the sixteenth elder brother took on a new errand, that is, to supervise the internal affairs office to sew 10,000 sets of cotton clothes in half a month.

This is to be sent to the Northwest Army, and 10,000 sets have already been sewn, and guards will be sent to the Northwest in the next few days.

This is considered the grace of our emperor, so it is not the household department that pays for the money, but the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Hearing that it was a cotton coat, Cao Hao's expression was a little strange. This is a place in one's own home, a place, because of cotton clothes, there can still be disadvantages, let alone the use of a country.

He told the sixteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother asked someone to tell him about the sewn cotton clothes, and took a few sets to the internal affairs office. He pulled Cao Hao to watch and cut it with scissors himself.

This sight is really shocking.

The sixteenth elder brother had a black face, and he didn't believe in evil, so he cut several sets in a row.

This is a new cloth on the outside, but it can't bear to look at it inside, and it can't be regarded as cotton, but can only be said to be mixed with broken cotton......
