"The eldest princess complimented."
Li Tong thanked him.
"I'm not complimenting you, you're young, old-fashioned, what's there to praise and what are your plans?"
"Not yet, the eldest brother has to concentrate on preparing for next year's spring, besides, according to what you just said, the capital is in danger, at this time, it is better to be still, anyway, I am sick, it is too early to recover."
Li Tong didn't plan to do anything, what else could he do "That's just as well."
It took a long time for the eldest princess of Fu'an to answer slowly.
The capital, Suiningbo.
Aunt Gu tried her best, first, she failed to invite Li Tong back, and second, she failed to dispel Jiang Huanzhang's idea of holding a birthday banquet for Mrs.
Chen.
Aunt Gu had to spend another half of the night, and finally got Jiang Huanzhang's two promises: give her 1,000 taels of silver, and then let Qingshu help her organize the birthday banquet.
Aunt Gu's heart relaxed a little, with a thousand taels of silver, things will be easy to do, it's a big deal to buy everything from the outside, even the manpower of the day, and the brokerage house can also call people in from outside to wait, if there is something bad with Qingshu, there is always someone who can come forward to take care of things But before Jiang Huanzhang had breakfast, the little girl in the Qingshu Academy rushed over to report, "Aunt Qingshu vomited four or five times in the middle of the night, and she can't even get out of bed at this time, please Aunt Gu quickly send someone to ask for a doctor, Aunt Qingshu said that she is very sick."
"Okay, why did you suddenly get sick, you hurry up and follow me to take a look."
Jiang Huanzhang hurriedly jumped off the kang and instructed Aunt Gu.
In Jiang Huanzhang's mind, although Qingshu is not as good as Aunt Gu, she has been with him almost all his life, and that affection is also very deep.
Qingshu had an extra pillow behind him, his hair was scattered, and his face was fine.
Jiang Huanzhang took a few steps, sat sideways in front of Qingshu, held her hand and said with concern: "I've already asked someone to ask for a doctor, don't worry."
Why is it uncomfortable to suffer from the heat, you have always been afraid of heat, why is it so hot in this house, and there is no ice at night" "Sister Gu said, it's difficult in the house" "It's not difficult, it's not the time to use ice, everyone like us lives, there are rules for everything, there are days when the furnace is opened, and the use of ice also depends on the solar terms, it's not that the solar terms haven't reached yet."
Aunt Gu stood behind Jiang Huanzhang and hurriedly interrupted Qingshu's words.
"It's not because of the heat."
Qingshu looked weak, "Ye also knows, I have always been calm, my heart is calm and naturally cool, I thought about it just now, it was probably because of yesterday's meal, I sprinkled raw oil on the vegetables, the oily smell was too strong, but I was very hungry, and I ate a few more bites, the oily smell has been in my mouth, and I can't hold it in the middle of the night, it's because I have a weak spleen and stomach, and I don't blame Sister Gu." ” Qingshu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in the past, when she was a big girl next to her uncle, the uncle was not at home, and ice was not allowed to be used.
This is not ice, only a few masters can use it, this is an old case, and there is nothing to worry about.
But this made the big kitchen deduct catties, and the matter of receiving oil from her every day, no matter how poor the Suiningbo Mansion was, there had never been such a thing "Who should be on an errand in the big kitchen with the smell of oily Sister-in-law Wang" Jiang Huanzhang just heard Aunt Gu complain yesterday that Sister-in-law Wang said that she couldn't cook and couldn't hold a banquet, remembering such a person, she was already unhappy, and when she heard Qingshu say this, the anger in her heart suddenly rushed up, this sister-in-law Wang is so hateful "How did you remove her from the errand and beat her for thirty boards" "Don't blame Sister-in-law Wang."
Qingshu hurriedly grabbed Jiang Huanzhang's hand, "Is it Sister Gu that can't be blamed on Sister-in-law Wang, Master, that's the case, now Sister Gu's rules, except for Mrs.
Hou and Ye, the two girls" "Qingshu, you are still sick, don't worry about these little things, master, the time is almost up, you have to go out quickly, otherwise it will be too late to arrive at the Jin Palace, Qingshu has me here, you can rest assured, if it is good, it is the best, if there is anything bad, I will send someone to the Jin Palace, to tell you."
Aunt Gu interrupted Qingshu's words in a hurry, and she was anxious to quickly pull Jiang Huanzhang out of Qingshu and then push out of the mansion.
"Master, otherwise, let me go home for a few days, that smell of oily seeds, I can't stand it, I'll go home for a few days, and then come in on an errand."
Qingshu grabbed Jiang Huanzhang's hand tightly, tears rippling.
"What the hell is going on" Jiang Huanzhang frowned, turned his head to look at Aunt Gu and asked.
"What's the matter, it's that this year's vegetarian oil tastes a little heavier, and Sister Qingshu is delicate, and she can't stand it."
"I can't blame my sister," Qingshu secretly staggered his teeth, but his face was still sincere, "My sister is also for this family, for the sake of the master, my sister has taken care of me very much, I have eaten meat once in three days, the green vegetables are cooked, and I have dropped a few drops of oil, listening to Chunyan said, Dong Rou and Xia Xian have been eating pickles for seven or eight days in a row." ” Jiang Huanzhang's face changed, and he stared at Aunt Gu, "What Qingshu said is true, what's going on in the house, why is this like this?"
"It's not what she said, my cousin also knows that green vegetables and tofu are the most nourishing, last month the north and south goods banks took away more than 700 taels, and the account was all empty, and my cousin also had to do my aunt's birthday, so I could only save a little, besides, this year's chicken and fish meat are surprisingly expensive, and it is not something that must be eaten, everyone eats lighter, first, it is the best for the body, and second, it can also save some silver."
Aunt Gu's answer was a little messy, there was really no money in the house, and the shop Zhuangzi that her cousin handed over to her, she thought that there would be benefits every day, and she could get silver from the shop and Zhuangzi every day, even if she didn't take it every day, she would always send silver to her once a month, just like Yulu.
Who knows that she asked the shop to pay the money on a monthly basis, and the shopkeeper held a bunch of accounts for her, from the flow to the account period and then to the pressure of the goods, she listened to a few words, and the latter was completely incomprehensible, and in the end, she completely understood a sentence: the accounts are paid annually, and at the end of the year, the accounts are paid at the end of the year, but after a year, whether the shop can make money is completely two, and the owner has to take the water into it again if he does not earn a penny, which is also a common thing.
When it comes to Zhuangzi, there are more or less benefits every year, but it is also paid once a year, and now the crops are still in the ground, and there is nothing.
She can understand this, crops are to grow according to the year.
After two days of busyness, she figured out one thing, those shops and Zhuangzi can only look at it now, and there is not a penny of silver.
Zhuangzi shop has no entry, only the uncle, aunt, and cousin can rely on in this house, and the three of them are just a little bit, what can she do She has moved to take out the sister-in-law's dowry to pay some money first, but after thinking about it, I still don't dare, selling the sister-in-law's dowry, the Li family really wants to make trouble, this is not a trivial matter.
As for the pile of gold jewelry in the warehouse, most of which have been flattened, can be taken out and sold for money, but the key to the warehouse, Mama Wu said that in the hands of her aunt, she still has not mustered up the courage to go to her aunt to ask for this key.
That's it in the house, what can she do besides being frugal and thrifty, what can she do?
