Chapter 319 Returning to the Court

The latest website: Zhulan burst out laughing, "She is happy with what she bought, but the money she spent was quite a lot, too much money is spent, it hurts!"

Zhou Shuren, "...it's time!"

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

This man's mind is really not big, his mind is too small.

Ming Teng rushed in, "Grandma, grandma, what did you buy?"

Zhulan got used to listening to grandma, she smiled and pointed to the table, "There are small lanterns and sugar figurines on it, you should share with Yulu!"

Ming Teng let out a cry, and happily ran to the table to look at them all. Ming Teng smiled exactly like Li Shi, and his eyes almost disappeared when he smiled.

Ming Teng held the sugar figurine and thought to himself, it would be best to follow his grandparents. He played all the way to the capital, and there are so many fun things to do in the capital. He must show off to Yushuang when he goes back!

Xuehan came in with Yulu in her arms, Ming Teng waved to his sister, "Come here quickly."

Xuehan carried Yulu to the table, and Ming Teng distributed everything to his younger sister.

Zhulan looked at it with a smile on her face. It's good that this kid doesn't eat alone. He got the last one. He obviously likes it so much, so he gave it to his sister.

Mrs. Li won't worry about buying things for her son and daughter. She buys them for her own use. This mother has a big heart!

Zhulan sends the two children out to play, and asks Xuehan to keep an account of today's expenses.

Xuehan calculated in her head while keeping the accounts, and took a deep breath, "Mom, I spent fifteen taels today."

Zhulan smiled, "You can't do the calculations like this. You bought a lot of food today, and the food for several months can't be counted as spent in one day."

Xuehan was still frightened, and still felt that the cost in the capital was too expensive.

Zhulan took out some broken silver and put it in a small wooden box and handed it to Xuehan, "You will take care of the household in the future, by the way, you will also take care of the monthly money of Xinghua and the others."

Buying a servant girl also requires a monthly payment. Ma Qiang and Ma Weishi can't help much, but they can't be treated badly. Three hundred copper coins a month, Ma Eryue and Xinghua have an extra one hundred copper coins. And Yushui three hundred and fifty copper coins, Jingzhe followed Xuehan, two hundred copper coins,

Spring equinox people are too young to help, and they don't need to pay monthly money.

The monthly money of the Zhou family has also increased. Zhou’s eldest four sons receive one tael a month, and the daughters-in-law also receive one tael. The grandchildren and granddaughters also receive half a tael, and Xuehan’s old daughter also receives one tael. Rong Chuan followed Boss Zhou is the same.

When mentioning the monthly money, Zhulan thought that Mrs. Dong's monthly money was not at all like the monthly money of an official lady. Later, she couldn't help asking Dong, and she found out that the monthly money was set by Mrs. Dong, and her daughters and grandchildren were five years old. Ten Wen, grandson one hundred Wen, in order to let the children and grandchildren know that it is not easy to earn money, the old man hopes that the children and grandchildren will be diligent and thrifty in the future.

Although the rules are good, there are countermeasures under the above rules. Dong said that the children in their family have not lived on monthly money since they were young. There is a lot of New Year's money, which is basically enough for one year.

The rules of the Dong family still have a certain effect. The children of the Dong family know that they have little monthly money, and every time they send out monthly money, they will remind themselves that money is not easy.

Xuehan was a little excited, she was going to help her mother with the housekeeping, it was the first time she had grown up to help her mother, "Mom, I will take care of it."

"Mother believes in you."

Half an hour later, the eldest couple came back. Lunch was the first meal in the capital, and because the war in the Northwest was about to end, it was worth celebrating. Mrs. Li bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and prepared to cook something hearty.

It's not winter yet, and there are a lot of green vegetables in the capital, such as spinach, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, rape, etc., Li Shi bought some.

The capital has the most types of meat. In shops that sell meat, as long as you have money, you can buy the meat you want. There is also venison, but the price is very impressive.

Mrs. Li bought ten catties of fat meat, five catties of pork belly, two catties of lean meat, ten catties of pork ribs, and ten catties of mutton.

Mrs. Li also wanted to buy lotus root, but it was a bit expensive, so Mrs. Li didn't buy it.

Eight dishes were cooked at noon, and the staple food was rice.

Zhulan's family eats separately from Ma's family. Zhulan gives Ma's food for one month every month and vegetables every day, and Ma's cooks and eats.

Now the servants seldom eat like this, but when there are more servants in the future, there will be a special place for the servants to eat.

After lunch, there is still a lot of work to be done. Fortunately, the boss Zhou and his wife are brought along. In addition, Xinghua and the others don't need Zhulan and Zhou Shuren to do anything, they only need to use their mouths.

In the afternoon, all the bought lanterns were hung up, the grass in the yard had to be cleared, and the firewood in the woodshed had to be chopped.

Zhulan's family has been busy for two days before they can completely clean up the house in the capital.

As soon as the house was tidied up, the Zhou family received a message from Zhao Bo that Zhao Bo was going to visit and confirm the family.

On the second day, Zhao Bo did not come by himself, but Deng Xiucai also came together.

Deng Xiucai came to the door with a gift, "After a few months, Zhou Xiucai is already a Zhou Juren, and a little heart is not a respect."

Zhou Shuren said politely: "Deng Xiucai's coming is the greatest sincerity, please sit down."

Deng Xiucai's eyes were bright, he really didn't expect it, because of Zhao Bo's face, he didn't cheat Zhou Xiucai, but fortunately he didn't. This person has become a juren in a few months, he is a character!

Zhao Bo smiled and said, "Brother Zhou's house is not bad, much more refined than my small courtyard."

Zhou Shuren, "It seems really good to be able to catch Brother Zhao's eyes."

Zhao Bo sighed, "It's not just good, Brother Zhou, don't be humble."

Zhou Shuren said modestly: "This is all thanks to Deng Xiucai's help!"

Zhao Bo laughed, "Then you should thank him well, the price of the house will double in a few days!"

Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, Zhao Bo was well informed, "Northwest is coming to an end?"

Zhao Bo lowered his voice, "Yes, it's over, the army is going back to court, and this time they captured a leader of the foreign race, a big victory."

He heard it from the patriarch who was an official in the court, and told him that next year's spring may have something to do with the post-war period!

Zhou Shuren thought of the brothers of the Yang family, but he didn't know what happened to the three brothers.

At noon, Zhao Bo and Deng Xiucai had wine at Zhou's house, and Zhulan didn't ask Li to prepare stir-fried dishes, but directly prepared hot pot, hot pot with mutton and mushrooms.

Zhulan also eats hot pot in the backyard. Zhou Shuren saw it in the store, bought two and came back to use it today.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Bo and Deng Xiucai left.

Zhou Shuren also drank a lot, and it looked like a cliché, otherwise Zhou Shuren wouldn't drink so much, Zhulan twisted the handkerchief to wipe Zhou Shuren's face, "What did you say?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "Deng Xiucai made a lot of tricks. Zhao Bo has a strict mouth. He will naturally say what he wants to say, and he won't say what he doesn't want to say if he drinks too much."

But what he wanted was Zhao Bo's words. It seems that Zhao Bo has also received training, and his mouth is much stricter than before.

Zhu Lan said: "Zhao Bo brought Deng Xiucai to visit the house together on business!"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, Zhao Bo wants to buy a yard in our house, and the price will be based on the current market price."

Zhulan paused her hand for washing the handkerchief, "Doesn't Zhao Bo have a place to live?"
