Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 159

Su Qinghe nodded with a smile, and let Yun Duo lead Nanny Dai to rest first.Then, I couldn't wait to ask about the family affairs.

"Don't worry, princess, the old slave came here this time to talk about these things with the princess." Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Lord Wu has already agreed to the marriage, so don't worry about the princess. Because the young master is not young, Madam wants to get married early, although Master Wu is not very happy, but he also considered this situation, and agreed to set the wedding in the spring of next year."

"The documents have been changed. The dowry will be given on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month next year. The sixth day of the second lunar month is a good day, and it happens to be married." Grandma Liu smiled and counted with her fingers: "The second young master's marriage is also scheduled for next year. Second young lady The family is a general, so I don't pay much attention to it. I just think that the second young master is not too young. I'm afraid we will arrange a roommate here, so I don't plan to delay it. The wedding date is set on the eighth day of June, and the dowry will be given on May 26. "

"What are the betrothal gifts prepared for the elder sister-in-law? The second sister-in-law's side, isn't there much difference?" Su Qinghe asked hastily. What she is most worried about now is that the family does not have enough money.I have always said that I want to open a shop with my natal family, but because there are too many things, I have not continued.It's winter now, and the sweet potatoes have been harvested again. There should be enough raw materials for her to toss.

"The big geese were caught by the first young master and the second young master personally. They were both a pair. In addition, the madam also made two pairs of golden geese this big be beaten with gold." Grandma Liu made a gesture, which was about half the size of a palm. , It feels very small and exquisite.

"Madam said, it's just a small thing, and you can play with it on weekdays." Grandma Liu continued: "There are also cloth and tea. The dowry gift of the youngest lady is 2 taels of silver, and that of the second young lady is less." , 5000 taels."

"The master has already bought a house, which is about the same size as the previous county lord's mansion, and cost 8 taels of silver. Madam has already taken care of the future and plans to move there on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. The yards of the eldest and second young masters happen to be next to each other."

Su Qinghe was taken aback: "That house cost 8 taels of silver?"

Since she got married, the money left in the family is only 10,000+ taels, and if she spent 8 taels all at once, plus the dowry gifts from both sides, probably her parents don't have much in their hands, right?

When the time comes to hold a wedding, there is no shortage of money. Hire a chef, buy meat and vegetables, and decorate the wedding room. Is there enough money left to spend?
"That's right, the house is well built. It's on the edge of the inner city. The princess of the county also knows that the houses in the capital are expensive, especially the houses in the inner city. The courtyard is very well built and the scenery is also good. The Shangjun Prince's Mansion is much better than the County Lord's Mansion."

Su Qinghe clicked her tongue. Converted to the modern house price, if the house price in the capital is more than a dozen taels per square meter, then the houses in the inner city are several hundred taels per square meter, which is ten times higher.Coupled with decoration, 10 taels are commonplace.

It's not more modern now, just find a decoration team to deal with it.The garden designers at the moment are all famous masters. As long as your garden is guided by the masters, the price will increase several times.

"Then do my parents still have any money on hand?" Su Qinghe hurriedly asked, and Grandma Liu winked: "Madam knew early on that the princess of the county was going to ask this question, so I just asked the old slave to tell Madam, don't worry, the family's money is As much as possible, although there is no shop or anything in the house, there are still two hectares of land in Taiyuan County. I sold all the sweet potatoes and potatoes to shopkeeper Yang, although the income was not as much as the previous year, but it was not bad."

Grandma Liu also drew a number: "There are so many, don't worry, the princess of the county, Madam knows well, and will not completely empty out the family just to marry a daughter-in-law."

"That's good, ah, no, you said, my father sold all the sweet potatoes and potatoes?" Su Qinghe was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly thought of this question and hurriedly asked, Grandma Liu was a little confused and confused Nodding: "Yes."

"All? Nothing left?" Su Qinghe wanted to go crazy, Grandma Liu shook her head, and before Su Qinghe was happy, she said the second half of the sentence: "Of course there are still seeds for next year."

The corners of Su Qinghe's mouth twitched, thinking that he still had a few Zhuangzi, he was finally comforted: "Mother Liu, when you go back, tell daddy to go find shopkeeper Yang, and tell shopkeeper Yang that this year's sweet potatoes are not for sale for the time being. Drop it, and I'll make something better later."

Grandma Liu was a little surprised, but she came out of the palace. If she said it was okay and asked her, she would feel a little restrained. Su Qinghe sighed and said, "Did my mother say something else?"

"The madam said, let the princess of the county take good care of her body, this is your first child, you must be careful." As she said that, Grandma Liu patted her thigh again: "Oh, I forgot to say the most important thing. "

Su Qinghe was also a little surprised, so she heard Grandma Liu say: "Then, Nanny Dai served Cheng Zhaoyi. Cheng Zhaoyi had a daughter back then, who got plague and passed away when she was three years old. Nanny Dai was taking care of pregnant women and children. She is very skilled in matters concerning children, the princess of the county should ask Madam Dai what she should pay attention to when she is just pregnant."

"That little princess got smallpox..." Su Qinghe was a little hesitant. Although she also knew that birth, old age, sickness and death were beyond the control of a nanny, if she was by Cheng Zhaoyi's side, she should be able to take care of that little princess. Bar?
"The concubine of the county thought too much. It was just an accident. Cheng Zhaoyi was quite favored back then. One year, when the emperor went to Jiangnan, he brought Cheng Zhaoyi and the little princess with him. When he passed by a county, the county suddenly exploded. Even Cheng Zhaoyi almost didn't get over the plague, let alone a three-year-old child? Besides, Nanny Dai didn't leave the palace with her at that time, she stayed in the palace to take care of the palace for Cheng Zhaoyi."

Grandma Liu sighed: "The emperor was very sad at that time, he also loved the little princess very much in the past, but, after all, it was God's will, it was not some conspiracy, no one could do anything about it."

Su Qinghe was a little embarrassed: "I'm actually suspicious."

"Concubine Jun, you can't say that. It's a good thing that you had that idea before. Before employing someone, you have to figure out the ability, identity, and loyalty. What you have in your stomach is the future little son, and that is the daughter How can you put Xiao Shizi in danger because of other people's negligence?"

Grandma Liu said solemnly: "You are the princess of the county now. Things can't be as simple as before. If you only think about being nice to someone, that person will be nice to you. This is impossible. You , don’t think about giving face to anyone, even if it’s someone brought here by Madam herself, you have to investigate it carefully first, and make sure there’s no problem before you can use it with confidence.”

Su Qinghe nodded quickly: "What Grandma Liu said is that I took it lightly, and it will definitely not be the case in the future."

"It's fine for the princess of the county to know, and I don't want to waste my thoughts in vain." Grandma Liu taught Su Qinghe the rules before, so it can be regarded as a teacher-student relationship. Although she is a slave, her status is not ordinary, so she dared to tell Su Qinghe Such words.

Su Qinghe thanked Grandma Liu for her kindness, and seeing that Grandma Liu also looked tired, she hurriedly asked someone to take Grandma Liu to rest.

"Concubine Jun, there are a few more. They say they are the head of your village, the shopkeeper in the shop. Can you see them?" Yun Duo came back and squeezed Su Qinghe's shoulders with a smile. Su Qinghe nodded. It's okay, we'll see each other once.

"The younger one is the village head of Bishui Mountain Villa on the outskirts of the city. Greetings to the princess of the county." The head of the village didn't dare to raise his head to look up as soon as he came in. He is the head of Bishui Mountain Villa, and Jin Dahua is the head of Paoma Mountain Villa. Because of the long distance, Jin Dahua still has to take care of the affairs of the two villas, so after discussing with the little one, let the little one come to greet the princess of the county."

The shopkeeper next to him also hurriedly saluted. Among Su Qinghe's three dowry shops before, one has been reserved for Su Qinglan to open a branch, and the other is reserved for herself and is being renovated. This shopkeeper is the shopkeeper of the last shop.

"Small money, I'm sending this year's account book to the princess of the county." The shopkeeper said as he took out the account book from his arms and handed it over respectfully. Su Qinghe asked Yun Duo to pick it up, and looked sideways at Wei Changgui: " How is Zhuangzi's harvest this year?"

"If you go back to the princess of the county, the harvest on Zhuangzi is very good this year. The sweet potatoes are [-] catties per mu, and the potatoes are [-] catties per mu. According to the princess's previous instructions, the tenants get [-]%, and the remaining [-] catties. The small ones have been stored in the cellar."

Su Qinghe nodded: "Have all the things on Zhuangzi been sent to the capital this year?"

"Not yet. The little one found out that the princess and the prince are not in the capital, so I wanted to come over to ask the princess what she meant. If the princess came back late, the little one would ask someone to change the things for easy storage. If so Go back earlier and follow the way of previous years."

Wei Changgui said with a smile, Su Qinghe thought for a while and said: "Then change it, the county prince and I may not come back until the next year, and then you prepare some fresh things, like lotus root or something."

"Yes, I understand." Wei Changgui replied, and then continued to report: "This time I came here, and brought things from the villa for the princess, two pairs of pheasants, two pairs of wild ducks, and a pair of deer. By the way, Baihe, there are still some rice noodles."

Su Qinghe nodded, and asked a few more questions about the other villa. After making sure that nothing serious happened, she began to ask about the shop.

"The business in the shop is not very good in the second half of the year. Originally, we were in the dim sum business, but three months ago, a dim sum shop opened across the street, which robbed our shop of all business." The shopkeeper said with a mournful face, Su Qinghe Frowning: "Opened another one?"

"En." Nodding, the shopkeeper looked a little hesitant, and Su Qinghe was a little impatient: "If you have something to say, don't hide it!"

"Yes, I'll just say it, young one." The shopkeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I heard that the shop was opened by the dowry of the Ninth Prince's Concubine." As he spoke, he carefully looked at Su Qinghe's face.

But Su Qinghe's expression didn't change at all, she just reached out to hold the teacup, took a sip of the warm white water, then nodded and said: "Okay, I know everything, you two have been tired for a few days, so go back and rest for now Bar."

The shopkeeper was a little unwilling, and wanted to talk, but Wei Changgui simply saluted, backed up to the door, turned and went out.The shopkeeper had no choice but to salute and leave.
