Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 61

Li Wan quickly wiped away her tears, tidied her clothes, turned around and smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Tomorrow, the old lady said that she will come to Huaxian courtyard for dinner, Master Hou, what kind of food does the old lady like to eat?"

Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, and the old lady said that in her first year in the Marquis' Mansion, it was lively and lively in the Huaxianyuan. According to the current weather, it might snow all day tomorrow, so Li Wan declined. But should come down.

"The old lady doesn't pay too much attention, the usual dishes are fine!" Remembering her bitter expression when she came back from the palace and asked how the food was, and he perfunctorily said it was good, Qin Muyin opened his mouth and ordered two of the old lady's favorite dishes.

Li Wan took notes carefully.

After dinner, Li Wan opened the cabinet and took out a boxy box containing broken silver, large and small, nearly a hundred taels. Sitting on the stool, Li Wan opened the box, and silver of different sizes was placed in different boxes. In her purse bag, this is the money she gave to the servants, for the sake of safety and auspiciousness.In her previous life, she didn't know the ways of the world, but she was generous in giving rewards. Thinking about it now, in the eyes of the people, she might just be a fool who loves to show off and take advantage of her.

In her previous life, the old lady was indifferent to Li Wan's expenses, and it was rare for her to see Qin Muyin's face. The housekeeper was easy to talk, and every time Li Wan paid for money, the housekeeper would give her. Once or twice she tested the housekeeper's bottom line and watched him Whether she could really make the decision, she deliberately asked for a large amount of money, but the housekeeper paused for a moment after checking the account book, and gave her the bank note without asking a word.

The more she wants, the angrier she gets. Qin Muyin handed over the huge family business to different stewards, and the division of labor is clear. Although Li Wan is the head of the Hou Mansion in charge of the house, there are not many things she can decide. If you want money, you have to ask the housekeeper. , Li Wan felt unhappy for several years.

Li Wan took out the purse, poured the money on the table, and counted it carefully, the person in charge had the most money, followed by the first-class maid, the second-class maid, and the rough maid, after ensuring that everyone could get the reward Then put the silver back into the pouch and put it in the box.

Qin Muyin was sitting in front of the table, playing with an inkstone in his hand. Today, Zhuangzi's steward sent several baskets of fresh game. He was going to deliver it to King Cheng himself. Give it to Chengwang's mansion, and Li's mansion will take some.

When Quan An came back, he brought back some antiques. The inkstone in Qin Muyin's hand was given by King Cheng. There is a clump of fine grass engraved on one side, and if you look closely, you will find that the grass is slightly greenish, with delicate patterns, and feels warm and moist like jade. Qin Muyin is interested in this inkstone because it is similar to a pen in the old master's study.

That pen, the body of the pen is made of stone, and it is also engraved with fine grass, no matter in terms of texture, shape, touch or other, it should be a set.The thing was obtained by the old Hou Ye from attacking a robber's den, and it is reasonable to pay tribute, but at that time, when he was pregnant with the child, he copied the scriptures and prayed for blessings all day long, so the old Hou Ye secretly gave this pen to the old lady.

Qin Muyin raised his head and saw that Li Wan was holding a delicate pear wood box, which was covered with a layer of high-quality brocade cloth and covered with a velvet bag. Qin Muyin understood what Li Wan meant, so he took out the bag and put the inkstone in it. Get up, this inkstone is a New Year gift from King Cheng to the old lady, and it will be sent to the old lady tomorrow morning.

Thinking of the New Year's ceremony, Qin Muyin's eyes fell on Li Wan. She cried twice, and the redness and swelling around her eye circles could not be covered even with makeup. Most of them have been in the mansion for several years. When she didn't enter the mansion, the servants talked about her. Most of the words were not pleasant. Marriage has always paid attention to the right marriage. Li Wan's family background is not good, and her character is average. The servants think she is not good enough He, he was wronged, even Quan Ping Ping thought so when he first got married.

Qin Muyin put the inkstone away, got up and strode out.

Li Wan put the pear blossom wooden box on the coffee table, side by side with the silver box, and when she turned her head, she only saw Qin Muyin's robe sweeping across the door frame and the swaying curtain.

She didn't guess that Qin Muyin wanted to give the inkstone to the old lady, but seeing that he couldn't put it down, it must be extremely valuable, so she found a box for him to put it in.

Li Wan washed up, Qin Muyin hadn't come back yet, she went to the door and leaned over. Tonight, she gave the maids a holiday and told them to be lively in the side courtyard, so there was no one at the gate. The only thing I can hear is the sound of the wind outside, and the occasional sound of heavy snow breaking branches and falling to the ground.
