Chapter 242: Breaking the Fortune
Fang Caiwei said in her heart that you don't need to be so sincere, sister? But when I heard the sincerity in Aunt Mei's words, I was also moved in my heart, because I smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?" Even if you can't be free at this time, won't you rest after the New Year? ”
"After the Chinese New Year, after the Chinese New Year, grandma's strings are too tight, you haven't noticed how thin you have been these days, and your face is not good, your wife often lets the concubine persuade you, but how can I persuade you? Is Grandma the master of persuasion? It's easy to save face for the concubine today, so you don't want to do anything, just rest for a day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
After Aunt Mei said this, Fang Caiwei found that the other party's chin was also a lot sharper, and when she turned her head to see, several girls who were holding plum blossoms in the bottle not far away had also lost weight, she was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Why am I the only one who has been reduced?" The people in our courtyard have worked hard these days, Aunt Mei, you add two taels of silver to each person's reward, and you must reward them well, and you can't let everyone work in vain. Look at these skinny ones, after a winter, only two flower bears have flesh on their bodies. ”
Several little girls laughed and cheered, Fang Caiwei stood up and said, "Okay, since you want to rest today, just rest enough, I'll go to the old lady's place to play all morning, there is nothing important, don't bother me." ”
"Okay, even if grandma goes, it's not a big deal, and we won't disturb you."
Aunt Mei saw that she listened to the persuasion, stood up happily, and personally sent Fang Caiwei out before coming back, some accounts and rewards for the New Year were still a little tail-worthy, she planned to finish it today, so that the eldest grandmother would not have a little worry.
Although Aunt Mei has a cowardly personality, she has a very smart mind. Professor Fang Caiwei's various account calculation methods, even the bookkeepers in those shops dare not say that they are proficient, but she is already able to calculate freely. Coupled with the help of Bi Feng and Green Branch, by the middle of the morning, this tail had been cleared. As soon as he stood up and stretched his waist to eat something to rest, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and when he went out, Fang Caiwei was hurrying up the steps with a handstove.
"Didn't you say you were going to spend the morning at the old lady's? He also specially instructed us not to disturb, why did you come back? Aunt Mei stepped forward, and heard Fang Caiwei smile bitterly: "I just said that I was born to work hard and worry about my life, and I can't rest, once I rest, I will break my fortune." ”
"What does that mean?"
Aunt Mei was surprised, followed Fang Caiwei into the house, took the cloak she took off, poured a cup of hot tea herself, and rushed to do all the work that originally belonged to the green branches, and she didn't know it.
Fang Caiwei took the tea and took a sip, shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, I didn't go well today, just in time for a few old mothers to talk to the old lady, and only praised me to the sky." ”
"Isn't that good?" Aunt Mei was even more surprised, she knew Fang Caiwei very well, this grandmother was not a hypocritical master, hearing people praise her, even if she made an embarrassed appearance on her face, her heart must have blossomed.
"They just praise me, the problem is that if they praise me, I will have to spend everything. Complimenting me on how well I tied the flowers, the old lady said that the two bouquets of silk flowers in her house were old, and asked me to make two new bunches, and the wife also joined in the fun, saying that the silk flowers in her house were also old, and you said, can I pretend that I didn't hear it? Well, that's a few more bouquets of silk flowers; Then he praised me for how well the kitchen is well maintained, saying that the snacks and meals are delicious now! The old lady remembered, saying that it is not easy for the clansmen to live, and there are also some good families in the nobles who need to move around, this year the kitchen should prepare a few hundred catties of new dim sum of all kinds, and then it will be a good gift to the clansmen for the New Year, and what roast suckling pig, air-dried bacon smoked chicken, etc., etc., you listen, it was originally just a formality, but now it has to be serious, how much more does it cost? The most hateful thing is that they also mentioned the Shanhai Club, saying that it is now famous in the entire capital, how many dignitaries and nobles flock to it, and other idlers can't enter, and say that the private room there is good, and they went to eat, drink, and play optimistic scenery and chat, and the two girls were interested, and pouted the old lady and Mrs., saying that our family also used to play for a day during the New Year. One day, do you know how much money you can make in a private room in the Shanhai Club? Especially at this time of the Chinese New Year, how many people go to the suburbs of Beijing, I still want to add some entertainment activities, and raise the price, okay, the old lady said a word, this day hundreds of taels of silver will be lost......"
Fang Caiwei chattered and complained while drinking tea, only to hear that Aunt Mei and Lu Zhi and the others were stupid, and finally waited for her to finish speaking, only to see the eldest grandmother spread her hands: "You say, how dare I stay there all morning?" After this half of the morning, I roughly calculated, I lost a few hundred taels of silver, and if I stayed another morning, I would have lost about eight hundred taels of silver. ”
Aunt Mei came to her senses for a long time, and saw that the eldest grandmother was staring at her, which obviously meant that she was asking herself to be the same enemy, so she had to say a few perfunctory words, and then her eyes lit up and said, "Grandma, what you said is true?" This year's Chinese New Year, we are also going to the Shanhai Club for a day? Oh, this is great, I have long heard everyone say that the Shanhai Club is delicious and fun...... Belch! Actually, it's nothing, grandma, you want to think so, right? The old lady was just curious and in a good mood, so she wanted to go over and have a look, and she would naturally come back after staying for a day. I don't live there all year round......"
"I'll go, please don't talk about such a horrible thing." Fang Caiwei shook her hand again and again: "Heaven and earth are spiritual, but please bless Aunt Mei not to be a crow's mouth......"
Aunt May: ......
The Zhenning Hou Mansion has been lively and rich this year, hundreds of rewards and seals are generally sent down, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere in the mansion, and even those clansmen who rarely move around on weekdays are also swarming over.
The eldest grandmother paid attention to all aspects of work, especially the labor of the grassroots personnel, so the servants in several Zhuangzi were not forgotten, and different amounts of rewards were issued according to the quality and quantity of rents paid by each Zhuangzi and the accounts.
Don't underestimate this number of not four words, it is such a seemingly inconspicuous move, Marquis Jing and Mrs. Chang were a little puzzled before, but it fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the staff in the village. Everyone was originally elated, but as soon as they heard that there were more people than themselves, they inquired again: Oh, it turns out that people have paid more rent to the house. How can a mud horse endure this? It's not a matter of money, this shows that we are incompetent, no, we must surpass the Zhuangzi over there next year, to win this first prize, not to fight for steamed buns, but also to fight for breath.
