Chapter 10
When Zijuan came back from her work, she saw Daiyu laying on the bed in a daze, with a gloomy expression on her face, she worriedly asked, "Girl, what are you thinking?"
Daiyu was engrossed in thinking, but she didn't notice her coming in, she suddenly heard the voice, she was taken aback, she sat up straight and asked, "Did you finish?"
"Yes, there's not much work today, and it's two people doing it, so it's fast." After Zijuan finished speaking, she went out to wash her face and came back to wash her face. Fang asked again: "What was the girl thinking just now? Fascinated, I didn’t even notice when I came in.”
Daiyu sighed and said: "What else can happen, but it's just those bad things. - By the way, I just told Mr. Yan about going back to the south, but he said that the government is arresting the people in the mansion right now." People, if we go out at this time, we are afraid that we will fall into a trap, it seems that we will not be able to leave for a while."
"Oh?" Zijuan was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "In this case, let's stay here with peace of mind, and make plans when the weather calms down in the future."
Daiyu nodded and said: "That's the only way to go. But we can't live with his parents after all, so I just thought of a compromise, that is, let's spend some money and ask Mr. Yan to help us find a house near here." Xiaoyuan, help us buy two maids as companions, so that we can have a place to settle down and let Mr. Yan take care of us, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
When Zijuan heard this, she clapped her hands and laughed, "This is a great idea, we should have done this long ago!" After that, she urged Daiyu to tell Yan Li now.
Daiyu waved her hand and said, "He just tried to persuade me to keep those jewelry. I'm shameless now, so I don't want to ask him again. If you can't wait, just run for me. If he agrees , just ask him about how much money he needs, and we will be ready." Zijuan hurriedly agreed, and happily went to the front yard.
Daiyu waited for Zijuan to leave, Fang got up and came to the table, opened the bag of jewelry that Yan Li put down, and checked them one by one.After all, these jewelry come from the folk, although they have been carefully selected, the beads and gemstones that can be embedded, in terms of fineness and workmanship, obviously cannot be compared with those brought by me.If so, Daiyu rubbed them one by one, a warm current flowed through her heart, she casually picked up a gold hairpin inlaid with ruby and chrysanthemum petals, put it in front of her eyes for a closer look, then inserted it into her hair in the mirror.The rest of the pieces were carefully put into the dressing box by her for later use.
But after a cup of tea, Zicuckoo came back happily.Daiyu hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What did Mr. Yan say?"
Zijuan said with a smile: "Mr. Yan was hesitant at first, but I heard that if he doesn't agree, the girl will go outside to look for a yard by herself, so he agreed, saying let's stay safe and don't be impatient. Ask on Zhuangzi first, try to find the nearest one, so our two families can take care of them."
After hearing this, Daiyu felt relieved.Because he asked how much money he needed to prepare, Zijuan said: "Mr. Yan said that there is no certainty now, but we need to buy not only the house, but also the maid's, and add some household items for daily use, and repair the yard to make some new ones." Adding up all the messy furnishings and objects, you need to prepare at least 200 taels."
Daiyu nodded and said: "If you say 200 taels of silver, it's not too much, but we only have 200 taels right now, so we can't give it all to him. We have to keep some by our side for spare." , Said, "Then take out 100 taels, and then sell some jewelry to make it all together." Saying that, she asked Zijuan to pick out the ones that are not often worn and send them to Yan Li.But Zijuan has sharp eyes, and when she raised her head, she found the hairpin on Daiyu's hair. She forced her to take it off and looked at it carefully for a while, then put it on again for her, and said with a smile: "This Mr. Yan, you don't like us. He is really caring. Not to mention anything else, just buying these jewelry is enough to cost him several hundred taels of silver, we have to know what to do."
Daiyu gave her a blank look, and without making a sound, she got up and collapsed.Zijuan had no choice but to find a bag with a smile, and discussed with Daiyu to pick out a few jewelry that she didn't often wear, wrapped them in an old handkerchief, took another 100 taels of silver, and went to the front yard to find Yan Li. up.
After a while, Zicuckoo came back with a smile, and some broken silver was wrapped in the handkerchief.Daiyu asked in surprise, "Where did you get the money?"
Zijuan smiled and said, "It was given by Mr. Yan."
Daiyu lowered her face and said angrily: "A few days ago, I just took other people's money, and now I want it again. Your hoof is getting more and more insatiable. Hurry up and give it to others!"
Zijuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Miss misunderstood, this money is not taken for nothing, it is exchanged with some of our jewelry." Just now, the girl asked me to send the silver and those jewelry to Mr. Yan. After collecting the money, I asked to bring the jewelry back. I said that if the girl brought it back, she would be extra careful, and let him accept it desperately. Those pieces of jewelry are extremely valuable, and at least they will cost a few hundred taels. He only has this little bit of silver left on hand, so let us take it back for our daily use. After shopping, we will return as much as we have left. .”
After hearing this, Daiyu felt relieved and said with a smile: "You girl, since this is the case, why didn't you say it earlier, and it made me..." At this point, she couldn't go on, she just stared at her, picked up the The kettle has gone to water the flowers.
Zijuan went to the house to collect the money, and came out to tend the flowers and plants with Daiyu. After a while, she suddenly heard a sound in front of the courtyard door, as if someone had come, and then heard Uncle Li and Aunt Li coming out. The movement of responding gradually became quiet again.
Zicuckoo and Daiyu didn't take it to heart either. After finishing the flowers and plants, they went to drink tea in the house.After pouring the tea, I saw Aunt Li walking towards this side with a smile in her hand holding a big box through the window, and the two hurriedly got up to greet her.
As soon as Aunt Li entered the door, she said with a smile: "Miss Lin, the clothes that I had been cut a few days ago have been made, and they have just been delivered. Come and try to see if they fit. They are still waiting in the front yard. If they don't fit , he will take it back and change it!"
Daiyu and Zicuckoo hurriedly got up and took a look. They were all the colorful beanbags, skirts, jackets, cloaks, etc. worn in this season. Excellent workmanship too.
Daiyu inspected it carefully, and at the same time picked a white embroidered blue flower beanie to try on, and it was not too big or too small. It's so delicate, it's very good!" After speaking, he took off this one and changed into another skirt, which was also suitable, so he couldn't help smiling and said to Zijuan, "Go get a piece of silver and give it to Aunt Li as a reward." Zijuan hurriedly agreed, and sure enough, she took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Aunt Li's hand.
Aunt Li declined with a smile: "The few silver coins that the girl gave me a few days ago are enough, how can I ask for more money from the girl?"
Zijuan said with a smile: "The former one was for buying clothes, but now it's for rewarding people. Aunt Li, don't mess around!" After that, he pushed her away with a smile.
