Chapter 17 No experience with spending money

Seeing that it was impossible to turn over the dowry by self-reliance, Shangguan Jing had to find another way.

The weather was getting cold soon, and no matter what, they couldn't get cold, so the two children first turned over the cabinet, turned out all of Xiao Jingheng's thick bedding, and distributed them together.

"Okay, let's make do with this for two days," Shangguan Jing assigned the thickest quilt to Xiao Jingheng, and helped him make the bed again.

"The thick quilt is given to me, what should I do with Sister Jing?" Xiao Jingheng frowned.

"You slept very coldly." Shangguanjing replied: "So of course the bedding should be thicker. It's easier for me to do it. I will give me the rest of the bedding, and the same is true for me covering two quilts. Make it for now and wait for me. Trying to find a way to go to the maids to run errands and spread the word. You have added people in your yard, but the bedding has never been added. I don’t think your palace is poor enough to be stingy with a quilt. The only explanation is that no one cares, and you can’t remember it. Add to us."

"I'm sorry, Sister Jing," Xiao Jingheng lowered his head: "I made you wrong again."

"How many times have I said, don't say such things." Shangguanjing replied with a frown: "It's not cute for a child to take responsibilities blindly. These things should be your mother's worries, but I have been worrying about it for a whole month. Haven't seen her show up. Can't count on her, we'll have to find another way."

"Come with me." Shangguan Jing said, turned around and took out the small purse that Shangguan Yuan stuffed her on the day she got married, and poured out all the contents.

The two children faced the little property head-to-head. Shangguan Jing chose the smallest piece of silver for a long time, weighed it with his hands, and gave it to Xiao Jingheng: "Do you know how much this piece of silver is?"

The poor kid Xiao Jingheng shook his head helplessly: "I never had any money, so we don't have any children in our yard."

"Forget it, leave him alone!" Shangguanjing directly picked up the piece of silver and walked out: "I can't bear to have a child without a wolf, although I can't find the money in the press box, but we are not empty-handed. My second sister gave it to me. These things are enough to last a while. I still have jewelry."

"You can't touch your jewelry. These are your own things." Xiao Jingheng was startled, and very childishly covered the small wooden box Shangguanjing placed on the table.

In fact, the contents of the small wooden box are very barren, only a few simple gold and silver hairpins, which were used to fix the phoenix crown on the day Shangguan Jing got married.The jewelry that Shangguan Jing usually wears at home, suitable for the identity of a little girl, is actually stuffed in the dowry box together with the silver in the press box.

As for the fancy phoenix crown, it was already stuffed into the corner of the cabinet by Shangguan Jing.

"You really have guts." Shangguanjing couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I'm so poor, don't you want to spend my dowry? I don't need those hairpins, so I might as well use them to improve my life. I'm inexperienced. , I haven't thought of the fact that I should reward and bribe the maid, otherwise those hairpins would be gone."

"But..." Xiao Jingheng still wanted to argue something, but was interrupted by Shangguan Jing forcefully: "No but! I'm a sister, you have to listen to me."

"Oh!" Xiao Jingheng bowed his head obediently, and whispered unwillingly, "Then I will write it down. Later, when I am admitted to the Juren and take you out of here, I will make money to make it up. Your dowry can't be missed. ."

Shangguan Jing patted the top of Xiao Jingheng's head, and responded very carelessly: "I know, I know, so don't be long-winded about the dowry in the future. I think too much at a young age, like a little old man. I'm going to talk to them, and you just stay in the house and don't come out."

In fact, Shangguan Jing was quite clueless about bribing the maid.She knew what she and Xiao Jingheng looked like in the eyes of this group of servants.

One is stupid, the other is stupid, and they don't need respect at all, and no one really treats them as masters.

A foolish child who has no deterrent power at all, asks for help with white money. It is very likely that he will fail to ask for help. Instead, he will be tricked.

All these Shangguan Jing understood, but she had no choice.Yes or no, she has to give it a try.

She stood in the yard and watched the group of maids chatting and eating melon seeds under the tree for a long time.These maids don't seem to care about Shangguan Jing staring at them, as if deliberately provocative. The more they are stared at, the more lively they chat.

Shangguanjing found out that although a maid ignored her, she couldn't help but glanced at her several times in secret, and it was her!The first test subject!
After Shangguan Jing aimed at the target, he did not hesitate, and immediately walked towards the group of chatting maids.As soon as the maids saw her coming, they immediately turned their heads to pretend they couldn't see her.

"Come with me." Shangguanjing pointed to the maid she had selected in advance, her tone was still as commanding, and she seemed so arrogant and ignorant.

But this was the case, Shangguanjing still repeated his order twice before getting a reply from the maid, while the other maids around who were not selected were half sympathetic, half joking, staring at the two. people.

"What is the order of Mrs. Ninth?" The maid was still not as strong as Shangguan Jing's psychological quality in the end, so she couldn't help but say: "The slaves are just rough servants and cannot serve in the house."

It takes such a rainy day to push the three and block the four!Shangguan Jing couldn't help the black line.

"Let you come with me, what are you talking about." Shangguanjing turned around and walked down the corridor, the maid hesitated for a while, and finally followed up. The other maids who stayed in place laughed, as if mocking her of.

"What's the matter with the ninth lady?" After following Shangguanjing to the corridor, the maid asked impatiently.

"It's something." Shangguanjing turned around and flashed the silver in her hand to her, and the maid was stunned when she saw it.

"I have something to tell you, and of course I won't let you do it in vain." Shangguanjing pretended to calmly retract the silver into his sleeve: "But don't take me for a fool."

The maid didn't say a word, raised her head and studied Shangguanjing's expression carefully.

"I don't know what you have heard before I came." Shangguan continued calmly: "Am I being fooled, you should have a steel scale in your heart. Be a good job, it will have your own benefits, but if you play Wrong idea, don't think that I have no means to treat you. I am young as I am, but after all, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Wuding, and the daughter-in-law of Huaiyang Wangfu's eight-carried sedan chair is your serious master."

After Shangguanjing said these words, she didn't speak again, just stood there and stared at the maid's eyes, as if not in a hurry, waiting for the maid to make her own decision.

The maid also looked into Shangguan Jing's eyes without hesitation.

These eyes are clear and clear, looking forward to flying.How can a fool have such a smart look?

After a long while, the maid finally made up her mind, nodded to Shangguanjing, her tone was no longer as unreasonable and arrogant as before: "But according to Mrs. Jiu's orders."
