Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 44 Mind

Mrs. Li saw her niece's dumbfounded expression, held back a smile and waved her hands to let all the servants in the room go down.

Xian Xianyu pointed Hui Lan back to her senses, "You are only a little old, you can eat and play, and you like to worry about it all day long. Your father is famous for doing everything possible, and he will arrange for you It's all right. I'm used to your aunt, and I'll do what he says, so I don't look for trouble."

Hui Lan twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded in agreement.

"Auntie will tell you the truth, as long as you know it in your heart. I have 3 taels from your father, and your mother's pressed silver, private house money and Zhuangzi's shop's achievements over the years, which add up to [-]. These are all entrusted to me by your father in front of your uncle, and the elders in the family know it well. People like us, how can we do stupid things like you said. You are really worrying." Mrs. Li lowered her voice He heard the sound, and counted the items for her with fingers.

Hui Lan sighed in her heart. If there is too much money, it is just a number.She doesn't even know her purchasing power now, let alone where to spend her money.With so much money, Hui Lan somehow felt that it was not real.

"Hui'er is a good boy, she is so sensible at such an age, my aunt is very pleased. This person must be tempted and forbearing, and must not be greedy, otherwise he will harm others and himself if he loses his temper." Li Fu gently helped his niece straighten the broken hair on her forehead.

Hui Lan listened and nodded modestly.

"Your mother's things don't move, they're all for you. If your father has anything left in the future, it's yours too." Seeing that Hui Lan was a little distracted, Mrs. Li pinched her nose.

"What are you thinking about? In a family like ours, which wife doesn't have a private house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. You don't pay attention to such a small thing. You must learn how to take care of it, and the accumulation will make a lot in the future. Only when you get out of the court can you be decent!" Madam Li was happy, and her thinking was like a wild horse, and she flew to more than ten years later.

Hui Lan lowered her head and rolled her eyes. She has so much money, so she can't spend it or enjoy it. She's only thinking about finding a husband's family when she's out of her mind.Don't talk about increasing it, she is already satisfied with her current wealth.

No, the main thing she will do in the next ten years is not to enrich the dowry, but how not to marry.If she still can't escape the fate of getting married, then her dowry, rich in wool, should be squandered.

Listening to her aunt's gossip about the future, Hui Lan hurriedly collected her thoughts.This idea of ​​beating to death can't be leaked out, otherwise my aunt will definitely beat her to death before she dies of anger.

This thing of being a leftover woman is not an easy task in the 21st century, let alone around the [-]th century.She neither wants to compromise, nor does she want her relatives to be sad and angry, nor does she want to be an innovator who challenges the world and the customs.After all, she is a petty citizen, never thinking of being a pioneer, let alone sacrificing her life for righteousness.Let me ask, who is not afraid of death?
We still have to think about the long-term, so she should still develop insignificantly.Hui Lan smiled obediently and cleverly to be a fuwa, as long as the aunt is happy, you can imagine as you like.

Finally, Mrs. Li said she was tired, and Hui Lan took the money box and ran away.

Back in the house, all the maids and women came to see him.Hui Lan was idle anyway, so she met each of them and said a few words to each of them.The little girl and the rough envoy were easy to handle, and they all sent out after saying their hard work and promising to add food to them on the festival.

The remaining two nurturing mothers were not so easy to pass, and they talked with each other for a long time.Holding the tea and gossiping with a smile, he basically asked Hui Lan about the experience of the past half month.

Hui Lan could only express her admiration, and she had nothing to say anyway.There are only a few things that can be done every day. Of course, there is no need to say what she said to her family.

The two mothers are also winky and talkative, and it is probably just a routine to perform their duties.Hui Lan cooperated, of course they were also very knowledgeable, and they also mentioned a few trivial things about the mansion by the way.Then I took my leave and came back to serve after lunch break.

As soon as they left, Huilan became lively.Pulling Wang Mama and talking for a long time.He also promised to give her and Liu Ya a holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Uncle Li would come back and let their family have a reunion festival.

Mama Wang saw that her daughter was naturally good at any place, so she nodded as she listened.Seeing that Hui Lan was determined, of course she wasn't disappointed, so she agreed happily.I talked about other trivial matters, but nothing major happened.

Hui Lan let it go, she went to gossip with the nanny by the way. "Didn't Mrs. Tai come out to meet guests when she celebrated her birthday?

Mother Wang smiled and said, "Mrs. Tai is dedicated to the Buddha and she is very quiet. She spread the word that there is no need to make a big mistake on her birthday. The saved money will be divided into three parts, and one part will be given to the Buddhist temple, Futian courtyard and Fuyou hall. So the mansion We only held a one-day banquet to entertain relatives on the first day, and then sent money and food to those places, and gave an extra month of silver to the family members."

Hui Lan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Mrs. Tai deserves to be Lao Jiang, she really has great concentration!

"Mrs. Tai is really compassionate, pity the poor and the weak." Mother Wang sighed.

Qingguo interjected from the side, "Mrs. Tai celebrates her birthday like this every year. Although she doesn't like to meet people, she is also a well-known benevolent person in Beijing!"

Hui Lan nodded, thinking of sending money and food to the widowed elderly and orphans, such kindness is very down-to-earth and worthy of respect.That might be because she thought too much, the old man probably didn't like to meet people, at most he was a little patriarchal.

Shaking her head, Hui Lan had already put this thought behind her.Mrs. Tai is high above her, it has nothing to do with her, gossip is enough, don't think too much.

Ms. Wang took her to see the things given by the elders. Unsurprisingly, there were more than a dozen jewels in a tray.Plain and clean jade wares accounted for half of them, and they were all relatives who turned corners. She was grateful for those who cared about her filial piety, and she didn't blame them for those who didn't.

The things are placed in different categories, and there are signs underneath, marking the person who gave the gift.Hui Lan took a look at it in a serious manner, but she didn't pay much attention to the things, so she made a note of the person who gave the gift.

Even if she doesn't have to return the courtesy, she still has to remember the favor, so she must remember it clearly.

I remember almost, let Qingguo register in the booklet.Put the plain colored things in the makeup cabinet for daily use, and put away the bright colored ones.

What surprised Huilan the most was the gift from Duke Zhen, a box of sea pearls, a box of gold ingots, and a box of silver ingots.The most important thing is that there is also a black lacquer carved bow and matching bow and arrows, quiver, which is only a head shorter than Cymbidium when standing upright, and the most important thing is that she can't hold it at all.

Hui Lan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and sighed that they were indeed brothers, and the gift from her uncle was also suitable for outdoor sports.

She also couldn't understand the texture, but she thought it was very good.She was very interested in those swords and halberds, and groped for a long time without putting it down.However, his strength did not allow it, so he sighed and put it away first.

There was no time for heartache, and Xiao Jinku's abundant joy could wash away all pain.Who doesn't love small money, Hui Lan is very happy, and she is really grateful to the uncle of the country.He is really a straightforward straight man, he just likes such real money and big money.

It seems that even though she has become rich, Huilan still can't get rid of the hamster character she developed in her previous life, and the joy of saving money is incomparable!
