pungent peasant girl

Chapter 111 No measure?

Maybe Meng Qianyan has such a temperament, she has a clear distinction between love and hate, she is ruthless when dealing with hated villains, but she can also become gentle and pleasant when dealing with those she loves.

Meng Qianyan nestled in the chair, took a sip of tea, and saw Luo Ziyan looking at her and laughing.

She touched her face, "Huh? What's wrong with me?"

"It's okay, I just like you and want to see you more."

"Really, we can't get enough of seeing each other together every day."

Luo Ziyan didn't say anything else, and continued with what he was doing.

Because there is no need to go to Martial Arts, Meng Qianyan doesn't have to get up too early in the following days, and gets up with Luo Ziyan every day, except for reconciling accounts, and waiting for Liu Gang to come over in the evening to teach him some new archery skills .

Other than that, there is nothing else to do.

So she often stays alone in the back garden to organize those flowers and plants.

Qixi Festival passed, and it was August in a blink of an eye, and when it entered August, the sky became cooler. Xu Jiaqiao, as the young lady in charge, passed down the order.

It is said that it is dawn, and the maids and women in the family will have to order new clothes, and ask all the yards to report the size of the maids and women's clothes.

In Jingxuan Building, Meng Qianyan and Luo Ziyan used very few maids, except for Dong'er, there were only a few rough maids, so Meng Qianyan asked Dong'er to report to Dexuan Building after remembering it. go.

As Ziyan said, don't get too close to Xu Jiaqiao, so when you can avoid seeing her, she basically disappears.

However, she didn't go to Dexuan Building, but Xu Jiaqiao came to the door by herself, with two servant girls, dressed in orange brocade dresses that stretched the floor, her whole figure was like a sunset fairy falling from the sky, so beautiful outrageous.

Seeing her, Meng Qianyan quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you are here."

"Yeah, if you don't go to my place, I can only come in person."

"Oh? Sister-in-law, what's the matter? I heard from the servant that I just wanted the size of the clothes. I thought there was no need to bother my sister-in-law for such a trivial matter, so I didn't go there. What? There are other things?"

Xu Jiaqiao smiled gently, sat across from Meng Qianyan, and whispered softly, "You forgot, in addition to being the second young lady of the Luo family, you are also the wife of our Luo family who keeps accounts. Look, these are my predictions. If you don't think there is any problem with the money you need to spend, then give it to me."

Meng Qianyan took the account from Xu Jiaqiao's hand, glanced at it briefly, "Here, do you need 1000 taels?"

"Yeah, it's cold today, and I have to make autumn clothes, so why don't I also make winter clothes, so, 1000 taels, you see, there is no problem, right?"

"No, no, what I mean is, isn't the 1000 taels a bit small?"

"It's not too little, because the fabrics are all sold by the family, so they are very cheap, and it is enough." Xu Jiaqiao replied.

Meng Qianyan reckoned that there are three rooms in the family, and a total of eleven yards, plus the maids of the rough envoy and the women in the back kitchen, at least a hundred sets of clothes are enough, as well as servants and guards, This 1000 taels is really a little less.

So he returned the account book to Xu Jiaqiao, "How about this, sister-in-law, I will set aside 2000 taels of silver for you. If you don't have enough, you can come to me again. If it is too much, you can pay it back to the account."

"Using so much? How about this, 500 taels, no matter how much it is, I won't refund it to you. Do you think it's feasible?"

Seeing that Xu Jiaqiao was so sure, Meng Qianyan agreed without thinking too much, "Okay, I'll go to the cashier's office to get the bank note for you."

After taking the bank note, Xu Jiaqiao left, while Meng Qianyan returned to Jingxuan Building.To be honest, she was a bit strange, but it was such a trivial matter as cutting clothes, why did Xu Jiaqiao come here in person?

But thinking about it again, Xu Jiaqiao's attitude was very good, and she never mentioned the matter with Ziyan again, so she simply stopped thinking about it and went to wait for Liu Gang in the back garden.

Time flies like an arrow, and it will be Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. When the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, the sky will be completely cold, and the flowers in the garden will start to wither.

At the beginning, Meng Qianyan planned to move the flowers into the house so that he could support them for a longer period of time.

However, Luo Ziyan told her that the flowers bloom and fade naturally, and don't forcefully interfere with the flowering period.

It made sense for her to think about it, so she gave up.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for visiting relatives, so very early, Meng Qianyan ordered the moon cakes to be left in the kitchen, and planned to go back to her mother's house in Baihua Town to have a look in a few days.

On this day, she and Dong'er brought out the mooncakes from the back kitchen and were walking on the promenade in the direction of Jingxuan Building.

On the opposite side, the maid from Shou'an Courtyard came hurriedly.

"Second young lady."

"what happened?"

"The servant girl was sent by the Da Furen, and the Da Furen told you to go to the Shou'an Courtyard."

Meng Qianyan frowned, and said strangely: "Go to Shou'an Courtyard, but why are you in such a hurry?"

"Because... because of something..." The maid stammered.

Meng Qianyan then gave the mooncake to Dong'er, "Dong'er, you go and take it back to Jingxuan Building, I'll go to Shou'an Courtyard first."

This family has been very peaceful these days. What's the matter? Has something happened?
She hurried into the main room of Shou'an Courtyard, and saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the main seat with an ugly expression on her face, while Xu Jiaqiao was serving on the side, also cautiously.

"Mother." She stepped forward and bowed, "What's the matter?"

"What else can it be, see for yourself!" Wu's voice was cold and harsh, and the woman next to her moved a few pieces of cloth and two sacks of cotton to Meng Qianyan.

Meng Qianyan looked at it, and couldn't help being surprised, "Mother, these, are these used to cut clothes for the maids at home?"

"Otherwise? Otherwise, you thought it was for the master at home?"

"But, but these fabrics are a bit too bad, and these cottons don't seem to come from this year."

"Hehe, you can still see it. Since you understand that such poor things are not worthy of our maids, tell me, why do you still use these?"

Wu was asking, but Meng Qianyan was taken aback, "Mother, are these the ones I want to use?"

"Isn't it you? Could it be me? Qianyan, I really don't understand, you are such a smart and sensible child, why have you become more and more careless in doing things these days."

Meng Qianyan couldn't understand even more, she looked at Xu Jiaqiao, "Sister-in-law, what do these fabrics and cotton have to do with me?"

Xu Jiaqiao frowned when she heard the words, and said innocently: "Sister and sister, have you forgotten that when I was purchasing these fabrics and cotton, I went to you and asked you for 3000 taels of silver, but you only gave Give me 500 taels. If you give me 500 taels, I can only buy these relatively low-grade fabrics."
