Chapter 100: Qing Shu is going to get sick
"The eldest princess praised it." Li Tong thanked.
"I'm not praising you. I'm young and old-fashioned. What are you going to praise? What are you planning?"
"Not yet, brother must concentrate on preparing for next year's spring exam. Besides, as you said just now, the capital is in danger. At this time, it's better to be quiet than to move. Anyway, I'm sick, it's still early to recover." Li Tong didn't plan to make any plans, what else could he have?
"Then... that's true." After a long time, Princess Fu'an answered slowly.
Capital City, Suining Bo Mansion.
Aunt Gu tried her best, first, failed to invite Li Tong back, second, failed to dispel Jiang Huanzhang's idea of holding a birthday banquet for Mrs. Chen.
Aunt Gu had to spend another half of the night, and finally got Jiang Huanzhang's promise: Give her one thousand taels of silver, and ask Qingshu to help her organize a birthday banquet.
Aunt Gu felt a little relaxed. With 1,000 taels of silver, things would be easier to handle. At worst, you could buy everything from outside. Even if the staff on that day, you could ask someone to come in to serve from outside. With Qingshu... If there is something wrong, there will always be someone who can come forward to take care of the matter...
But before Jiang Huanzhang had breakfast, the little girl in Qingshu courtyard rushed over to report, "Aunt Qingshu vomited four or five times in the middle of the night, and now she can't even get up. Please ask Aunt Gu to beat someone and invite a doctor. Aunt Qingshu said she was very sick!"
"Okay, why are you suddenly sick? Come with me and take a look." Jiang Huanzhang hurriedly jumped off the kang and ordered Aunt Gu.
In Jiang Huanzhang's mind, although Qingshu cannot compare with Aunt Gu, she has been with him for almost the rest of her life, and the friendship is very deep.
Qingshu put an extra pillow behind him, his head was scattered, and his face looked fine.
Jiang Huanzhang took a few steps, sat sideways in front of Qingshu, holding her hand and said with concern: "I have asked someone to hire a doctor, don't worry. Why are you uncomfortable? Having the heat? You have always been afraid of heat. Why is this room so stuffy? There is no ice at night?"
"Sister Gu said that the mansion is difficult..."
"It's not difficult, it's not time to use ice. Everyone like us has rules in everything. There are days when opening the furnace. Using ice depends on the solar term. This is not time to enter the solar term." Aunt Gu stood behind Jiang Huanzhang and hurriedly interrupted Qingshu's words.
"It's not because of the heat of summer." Qingshu looked weak, "I also know that I have always been calm, and my heart is naturally cool. I just thought about it. It was probably because of yesterday's meal. I sprinkled raw oil on the dishes. The oily smell was too strong. But I was very hungry. I ate a few more bites. The oily smell was always in my mouth. I couldn't hold it until the middle of the night. It was because of my delicate stomach. I don't blame Sister Gu."
Qingshu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the past, when she was a big girl by her side, she was not allowed to use ice when she was not at home. Only a few masters could use ice. This is an old example and I can't figure out anything. But this made the kitchen count and get oil from her every day. No matter how poor the Suining Bo Mansion has never happened like this!
"It smells oily? Who is the job in the big kitchen? What is Sister Wang?" Jiang Huanzhang just heard Aunt Gu complain about Sister Wang saying that she could not cook and could not hold a banquet. I remember such a person, so I was unhappy at first. When Qingshu said this, the anger in my heart suddenly surged up. Sister Wang is so hateful! "How can I do this? Remove her and beat her to thirty boards!"
"Not blame for Sister Wang." Qingshu hurriedly grabbed Jiang Huanzhang's hand, "Is it Sister Gu? You can't blame Sister Wang for this matter, Master Wang, that's the case. Now Sister Gu's rules are in addition to the Marquis's wife, Master, and the two girls..."
"Qingshu, you are still sick, don't worry about these trivial matters. Master, the time is almost over. You have to go out quickly, otherwise it will be too late to get to the King of Jin's Mansion. Qingshu has me here, don't worry, if it's best, if there is anything wrong, I will hit someone to the King of Jin's Mansion and tell you." Aunt Gu interrupted Qingshu urgently, and was anxious to pull Jiang Huanzhang out of Qingshu and then unload the mansion.
"Master, why don't you let me stay home for a few days? I can't stand the smell of oily smell. I'll go home for a few days, and then come in to work as a job after I'm done." Qingshu held Jiang Huanzhang's hand tightly, tears streaming down.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Huanzhang frowned and turned to look at Aunt Gu and asked.
"What's wrong? This year's vegetarian oil tastes a bit heavy, and Sister Qingshu is so delicate that she can't stand it."
"You can't blame my sister," Qingshu said with a secret mistake, but his face was still sincere. "Sister is also for this family and for the sake of my grandfather. My sister has taken good care of me. I have eaten meat every three days. The vegetables are cooked, and a few drops of oil are added. Chunyan said that Dongrou Xiaxian has been eating pickles for seven or eight days."
Jiang Huanzhang's face changed and he stared at Aunt Gu, "Is Qingshu's saying true? What's going on? Why is this in the mansion?"
"It's not what she said. My cousin also knows that vegetables and tofu are the most nourishing. Last month, the north-south goods store paid more than 700 taels, and the account was empty. My cousin also had to pay for his aunt's birthday, so he could only save some money. Besides, this year's chicken and fish are surprisingly expensive, and it's not a must-eat. Everyone eats lighter, which is the best for the body, and secondly, they can save some money."
Aunt Gu answered a little messy. The mansion really had no money. The shop she handed over to her. She thought she would benefit every day and could get silver from the shop and the farm every day. Even if she didn't get it every day, she would always send the silver to her once a month, just like a salary.
Who knew that she asked the shop to pay the money on a monthly basis, and the shopkeeper brought her a bunch of accounts. From the turnover to the period of the account to the loading, she heard a few words, but then she couldn't understand what happened afterwards. In the end, she could fully understand the one: the bank account is paid annually, and the bank account is paid at the end of the year. But after a year, it is completely different whether the shop can make money. If you don't make a penny, you have to take the owner to get the turnover in. This is also common.
As for Zhuangzi, there are more or less profits every year, but they are paid every year. Now the crops are still in the fields and there is nothing. She can understand that crops must grow according to the age of age.
After two days of busyness, she understood one thing. Those shops and shops can only be watched now, and there is no money for them.
There is no entry in the shop. The only people in this mansion can rely on are the salary of the uncle, aunt, and cousin. The salary is only a little bit. What can she do? She has tried to take out her sister-in-law's dowry and pay some money first, but after thinking about it, she still didn't dare to sell her sister-in-law's dowry. The Li family really wants to make trouble. This is not a trivial matter.
As for the pile of gold jewelry that had been flattened in the warehouse, they could be sold for money, but Madam Wu said that the key in the warehouse was in her aunt's hands, and she still didn't have the courage to ask her for the key.
