Chapter 37
The empress was newly mourned, and Emperor Tianchen, who was deeply in love with Empress Kong, also fell ill. He did not go to court for a few days, and the city of Chang'an was full of gloom.
At this time, the old lady of the Meng family didn't care about competing with Liu Mei anymore, so Liu Mei was relieved not to force her to pick Buddha beans.
There was a great funeral in the palace, and the wives who were ordered to enter the palace to watch the funeral. Meng Zhiwen, the old lady, and Liu Mei were all in the funeral procession. If the three pillars of the Meng family left, they might return in a month or two. If you don't come, there are only a few young masters among the rest of the family, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stand up to the door or establish a household.
The old lady seemed to be worried about something, while she was packing her things to enter the palace, she was thinking about finding someone to come in and help take care of the affairs of the palace.
However, after much deliberation, she still couldn't find a suitable candidate. All the women she made friends with were court wives, and they all had to enter the palace, so how could they care about helping the Meng Mansion.
Seeing that the old lady was in a hurry, Yuechan had to drag Meng Haoyu to the main room, and saw that the room was in a hurry, a few maids were packing clothes, there were some things to eat, and Fei Cui found some silver coins , bank notes, etc. for the old lady to take, and if you want to buy something on the way out, it will be more convenient.
At this time, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Jing Jing had already packed the pills for the summer heat into her purse, and carefully put them away for the old lady.
Yuechan saw it, hurried over, and bowed slightly to the old lady: "Old lady, you and your father and wife can go at ease, my brother and I are watching at home, and my brother doesn't need to go to school during this time, there are outside I can take care of everything, as well as the affairs of the family, although I am not talented, but there are rules set by you and your wife, and I will never go wrong by following them."
Haoyu also quickly saluted the old lady, repeatedly promising that he would take good care of the family courtyard.
The old lady looked at the pair of children standing in front of her, and her depression was relieved a lot. She pulled the two of them towards each other and smiled slightly: "If you say that, I don't worry about it. Forget it, I'll just train them for you." It only takes one or two months to practice hands anyway, even if it is broken, it won't mess up."
Yuechan quickly responded with a smile, but Haoyu bowed his head and did not answer.
At this time, Fei Cui came over: "Old lady, the master is waiting outside, it's time to leave."
When the old lady heard this, she stood up quickly, Fei Cui helped her to go out, and several older girls followed.
Yuechan and Haoyu kept sending the old lady, Meng Zhiwen and others to the gate. At the gate, they met Yue'e and Yueting who came to see them off. Yuechan went over to say hello with a smile. He turned aside and ignored her.
Yuechan simply ignored these two people, and only waited for Meng Zhiwen to ride the horse, and the old lady and Liu Mei got into the carriage and went away before turning around.
As soon as she entered the second gate, Yuechan asked the housekeeper to close the door tightly, and even discussed with Meng Haoyu, called the servants in the mansion, gave them a lecture, and then asked the steward to restrain the servants in the mansion, so that they could not be taken lightly go out.
Like this critical moment of mourning across the country, people from all households and prefectures in Chang'an City understand that not only the master, but also the servants know that a slight mistake may lead to death, and the servants are also aware of it. I dare not complain, but I am very honest.
Because she has to take care of the affairs of the mansion, Yuechan spends much less time studying, and spends most of her time looking at the account books, and is especially careful not to stick to the booklets, lest there be any problems.
Meng Haoyu also stopped going out of the mansion, and only stayed at home to study behind closed doors. Yuechan would discuss with him any matters that could not be resolved by the master. The brothers and sisters worked together to manage the Meng Mansion properly without any mistakes. .
After a few days of management, Yuechan got started quickly, and she was able to tell one, two, and three things about everything. As a result, she had more free time, and she began to worry again.
Regardless of her past and present lives, Yuechan has almost never worried about money, but she has grown up a little more noble, and she looks down on yellow and white things.
However, after giving porridge for a few days, all the money saved in Yuechan's house was used up. According to the rules, Yuechan is the eldest lady, and she only has a few taels of monthly silver, which is not enough to spend.
In addition, Yuechan now understands the importance of money, and originally thought of accumulating more money, so that if it is useful in the future, she can also get it out, not only her, Meng Haoyu will also use the money in many places in the future Let's go, looking at Liu Mei's appearance, it will be very difficult to get money from her in the future, just in case, I have to find a time to get more money now.
Yuechan thought about it for a few days, and became more and more depressed. Although she had been a ghost for so many years, to be honest, she had never seen how those businessmen made money. A serious idea.
Meng Haoyu saw that Yuechan couldn't eat or sleep in the past few days, and she had lost a lot of weight. At first, she thought that Yuechan couldn't adapt to the change of weather, but after a few days, seeing Yuechan became thinner, he also Anxious.
Haoyu is a kind-hearted person who knows how to love others. He only has Yuechan as his mother and sister, so he is naturally very kind to Yuechan. Seeing Yuechan like this, he can't read anymore. , put on a Confucian shirt and ran to Yuechan's room.
It just so happened that Yuechan had just woken up to freshen up and was about to set breakfast when she saw Haoyu coming in, Yuechan hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "What a coincidence that brother came here, I'm here to set the meal..."
While talking, Yuechan shouted outside: "Huang Ying, go out and tell the kitchen to bring the young master's meals here."
Huang Ying responded, and Yuechan asked Meng Haoyu to sit down. Seeing that Meng Haoyu was a little tired, she was a little surprised, so she asked: "Brother, what's wrong? You look a little bad. If you're not feeling well, you'd better invite him to sit down sooner." Come and see the doctor."
Meng Haoyu shook his head, only staring at Yuechan: "I don't have anything to worry about, I'm just worried about you, my sister has become thinner and thinner these days."
Only then did Yuechan suddenly understand, and smiled faintly: "I don't have anything to do, I just want to make more money when I have time..."
"How did my sister think of this?" Hao Yu frowned tightly, a little disapproving: "You are Miss Meng's family, you don't have to worry about food, what do you want to do with these yellow and white vulgar things?"
After saying this, Yuechan sighed, it seems that Haoyu is still too naive, he doesn't understand how cruel the outside life is, and he is a bit stupid to read those books on benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he only keeps aloof and arrogant, doesn't he know that he is too noble If you do, you will be disliked by the world.
"Brother!" Yuechan raised her head: "Why are they yellow and white vulgar things? We didn't buy anything for our food and clothing. If we didn't have these yellow and white vulgar things, we would starve to death and freeze to death? Brother is a scholar. Don’t you know that you know etiquette if you have enough food and clothing, and know honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing? The most important thing for a person to live in this world is to have enough food and drink, and without these worries, he will be able to learn to read and understand etiquette.”
Yuechan's words really choked Hao Yu, he just kept silent, frowned and thought carefully, feeling more and more that Yuechan's words were quite reasonable.
Yuechan ignored him, and only whispered: "I used up all my money before, but now I understand the importance of money, and I just want to make more money, but I really can't think of any way to make money .”
Seeing Yuechan worried, Hao Yu also started to feel worried, and said with his finger: "My sister needs to spend money, I still have some, why don't I have someone send it to me, and I don't know anything else, I just want to Next year will be the year of the scientific examination, there must be a lot of scholars in Chang'an City, if you sell some pens and inks, you can make some money."
This is a way to make money, Yuechan nodded, feeling very grateful for Haoyu's thoughts.
However, what Yuechan thought was a long-term solution, and the way to sell that pen and ink was only for a while, after all, it was not a serious way of making money.
Leaving the scholar, Yuechan thought of children, and selling some children's things was a good idea. Frowning her beautiful eyebrows, Yuechan couldn't help looking at the dressing table. There was a jewelry box on the dressing table, and other Some rouge boxes, some black ink for eyebrows, and powder for face.
Seeing this, Yuechan's eyes brightened and she couldn't help laughing.
Now the Jokhang Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous. There are countless dignitaries and rich people in Chang'an City, and there are also many rich people. There are also Western Hu people who have settled in Chang'an City. It was full of people, there were a lot of men here, but there were also a lot of women. The women of Jokhang Kingdom paid great attention to their appearance, and even those barbarian singing prostitutes painted their eyebrows and temples, and used countless amounts of makeup.
Take the Meng family as an example, from the master to the cook, they use a lot of makeup powder every month. Although the grades are different, if you count it, the money spent on it every month is also a lot of money .
It's a pity that although women love to dress up, that powder is not good. If it is used frequently, it will easily make the skin dry and yellow. In addition, the wind in Chang'an City in spring and autumn is not good for women's skin.
If there is a makeup powder that can moisturize the skin and make it look thin and soft, those rich women will definitely rush to buy it.
Yuechan made some plans, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible. Her almond eyes were bright and sparkling, and Haoyu was a little dazed when she saw it.
"Brother!" Yuechan stood up and pulled Haoyu's hand: "How about I open a rouge shop?"
rouge?Meng Haoyu was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully for Yuechan. After thinking for a while, he also felt that this is a feasible way, so he whispered: "It is feasible, but there are also many rouge sellers. The new shop you opened , how can you compare to others?"
Yuechan smiled mischievously: "Brother thinks it can do it, you don't know, I have a secret formula in my hand, and the rouge I make is better than other brands..."
That being the case, Meng Haoyu didn't say anything more, and only told Yuechan to be careful, if she wanted to open a shop, it's best not to open it in her own name, the best thing is to find a loyal servant to take the lead. Business is done.
Yuechan also knew this truth, she didn't want people to say that she only focused on money, so she carefully considered which servants could be used.
After thinking about the way of making money, Yuechan made a careful plan, thinking about how much money to spend and so on. After making the plan, there were only two problems that could not be solved.
One is the shop, renting or buying a shop will cost a sum of money, Yuechan has no money, and Haoyu doesn't have much money, so the money can't be paid out for the time being.
The second is the material, Yuechan needs to use fresh flower petals to make makeup, these things are really hard to find.
After much deliberation, Yuechan decided on Su's dowry.
