After asking for Ann, she sent Nanny Xu to Sister Feng to talk about the arrangement of the accompanying room and the maidservants in front of her. Sister Feng had been notified by Mrs. Wang earlier, and she agreed to them one by one without saying a word.Li Wan had nothing else to do, so he taught Jia Lan how to read in the room.When he was free, he wrote down all the methods he got from the book in Zhujie.

Although Jia Lan is young, she is very well-behaved, and can remember a few words in a day, especially there are a lot of children's words in the middle, which often makes everyone in the room laugh.

Mother Xu looked at the few pieces of paper Li Wan gave, but didn't say a word, and immediately planned where to buy sawdust and sawdust, and also wanted to find someone from the northwest to find thick wool and long-haired breeding sheep, as well as the manpower needed for the division of labor. etc.Li Wan was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Nurse, don't you worry about whether these things can be done?"

Nanny Xu gave her a reproachful look, and said, "Grandma, you are not a reckless person. Besides, even if grandma is younger, the things left by the first wife can still be different?" Li Wan had planned a bunch of explanations Words, a sentence is useless.The two of them worked together to figure out how much money they would need, how to arrange the staff, which Zhuangzi to start with, and so on.

In the blink of an eye, autumn came, and several families rushed to Zhuangzi before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Madam Xu was worried about Li Wan, but she was helpless because there were so many things going on outside that no one else could take over.In the end, it was agreed that Nanny Chang would stay with Li Wan, and Nanny Yan looked at Brother Lan.

Although Nanny Chang is not very old, she has served three generations of masters in Li's residence. What's rare is that she has a broad-minded heart and is not a meddlesome person.Mammy Yan was originally the nurturing mother of the Li family who taught the rules, and she was the most disciplined person, and now it is just right for Jia Lan.Li Wan saw what Yingchun and Baoyu's nurses were doing, and was really worried about the new nurse Mrs. Wang gave Jia Lan.

Looking at Baoyu again, I feel even more determined that Jialan's upbringing must not follow the tune of the family.Yun Qiu and Mo Yu were also optimistic about the man, and the wives of the two families came to Li Wan to kowtow and beg for grace, and agreed on a time for their marriage.

Li Wan called the two of them to him, and each of them gave some jewelry and 20 taels of silver. He pointed to a box and said, "There are some colored clothes here. Although they are not new, some of them have never been worn. I It's also left here for nothing, if you don't feel jealous, you can share it." The two of them kowtowed again, and said repeatedly, "I'm a slave." Li Wan couldn't help but think of the dream he had after drinking "First Meeting" However, those colors are no longer available.

She had made all the arrangements on this side, and Sister Feng went back to Mrs. Wang after checking her whereabouts.After listening to Mrs. Wang, she was silent for a while, then sighed, "That's fine."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "If you ask me to say that my sister-in-law is too stubborn, how big is the Zhuangzi she married as a dowry? How can I use so many people? After all this has been dismissed, I don't know how to complain in my heart."

Mrs. Wang said: "There is nothing for them to do if they stay in the mansion. They are her dowry on the left and right, as long as she makes up her own mind."

Sister Feng glanced at Zhou Rui's family, and said again: "Supposedly, the elder sister-in-law is not short of anything now. The old lady raised her monthly money and silver a few years ago, and even the allowance at the end of the year is top-notch. After this year, it's not too late. It's a few hundred taels of silver, is it possible that her dowry Zhuangzi can be more than this promising one?"

Mrs. Wang took a teacup to drink, and Zhou Rui's family came forward and said: "A while ago, I heard that the women in the big grandma's yard were chatting, saying that the big grandma opened the small warehouse in the yard to get something. "

Sister Feng sneered and said: "Everyone's small treasury is just a dowry that is not needed for daily use. What is the big sister-in-law's dowry as a dowry?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Sister Feng, and said: "Although the Li family can't compare with our Wang family, her mother came from a rich family in the previous dynasty, so it's not surprising that she has some background."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I'm just a little puzzled to see my sister-in-law acting like this all of a sudden. Which housekeeper doesn't want to rely on the master to find a decent job, but the sister-in-law has to go far away. But anyway, in the future It's all Lange's."

Mrs. Wang nodded, "That's it."

After Sister Feng left, Mrs. Wang asked Zhou Rui's family, "Where did you say those women chewed their tongues just now?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly smiled and said: "A few days ago, the maid in the grandma's yard casually said a few words to me when she was chatting with me."

"Is that what you said?"

"I said that on the day I picked up Brother Lang and went back, I talked with Mrs. Xu next to her in the room for half a day. A few days later, I opened a small warehouse. My wife knows that the small warehouse in this yard is only available for a year. I can't open it once. The little girl outside the house said that she heard Mrs. Xu talking about the first wife, money and so on. It was all gossip, so she didn't return to the wife."

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Rui's family and said with a smile: "Don't play tricks on me, that good woman wants to chat with you? Don't say nothing now, if you want to ask me later, it won't be so cheap."

Zhou Rui's family immediately knelt down and said with an apologetic smile: "Don't dare to hide from my wife, this woman is related to my family, because she said that she is serving in the yard of the eldest grandma, and she has nothing to do every day. She is a I can't be idle, this time I heard that someone will be released and replaced, so I came to ask if I can change jobs."

Mrs. Wang said: "Since I'm married to you, you can take charge of this matter, so why ask me?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly kowtowed: "I don't dare, she just asked me to talk, and I just listened to it. There is no reason for a slave to pick an errand. The slave didn't answer her."

Mrs. Wang's expression softened when she heard this, "Get up. It's good that you know the rules. Others are happy to be on errands, and besides, wherever they are on errands, they will do their best for the master." After hearing this, Zhou Rui's family kowtowed quickly, making up their minds I decided to go back and find the old woman and ask her to work in the grandma's yard. If there is any trouble, I just have time to chat.

Let's say that when Sister Feng went back to the house, Ping'er waited on her, changed her homely clothes, and served tea and water.Sister Feng changed into a crepe satin embroidered with peach red embroidered branches, leaning on the kang in a daze.Ping'er took the beauty mallet and beat her legs lightly.For a while, Sister Feng learned what Mrs. Wang and Zhou Rui's family said to Ping'er, and said, "What do you think this sister-in-law is up to? Does she really have any tricks to get rich?"

After hearing this, Ping'er thought about it and said, "Grandma may have misunderstood. The eldest grandma is only Lange now. It is possible to save more money for him, but it may not be that she has any idea of ​​making a fortune. Grandma Thinking, this grandma's family is from a scholarly family in Jinling. If you want to say that you have some skills in studying the imperial examinations, you have never heard of getting rich. Among other things, it is the dowry of the grandma, which is worse than grandma. One star and a half. If the Li family has a way to make a fortune, they don’t have to marry their daughter instead? Those sour people who study are called ‘Aduwu’ when they manage money. Let me tell you, grandma is like this, maybe she’s afraid Dowry is uneasy in the mansion, if she takes advantage of her face to fight for something... Although it was not her idea, it will inevitably make the old lady unhappy."

Sister Feng squinted her eyes after listening, rubbed her temples lightly, and said: "From what Zhou Rui's family said, it has something to do with the first wife of my sister-in-law's family. The wife also said that that person was from a rich family in the previous dynasty, and she was born in the big family." It is unknown whether my sister-in-law died when she was young, or left something in the bottom of the box."

Ping'er glanced at Sister Feng, and said: "Grandma is too careless. Whatever he does, there is really something. As a big grandma, what can I do to guard against grandma?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Little hooves have taught me a lesson! I'm just confused. Besides, if there is any way to make money, wouldn't it be cheaper for us to make friends with sister-in-law earlier."

Ping'er said: "Even so, it's still too reckless for grandma to tell his wife about it. The wife doesn't like people to inquire about the truth."

Sister Feng laughed, "Silly girl! My wife just doesn't like people asking about her affairs. If you want to talk about sister-in-law's plan, my wife cares more than I do. You are right. If there is something, my wife will know it. If my wife knows Of course, you won’t hide it from me.”

Ping'er changed Sister Feng's tea and said, "It's good if grandma can figure it out."

After drinking the tea, Sister Feng said, "It's just a chat with you."

Li Wan didn't know that her strategy of "killing three birds with one stone" had unintentionally hit many flowers and plants, and now she was worrying about what Ping'er called "A Duwu".After calculating with Madam Xu, this method of raising land and raising chickens and pigs is just a little weird, but it doesn't cost much.But the method of wool and rabbit fur is a bit costly. First, people should inquire to see where there are suitable breeds of rabbits and sheep. Bought someone who knows how to serve.

In this way, no matter what, you have to prepare some money first.Li Wan's dowry back then was only ten thousand taels of silver, and the silver bills at the bottom of the box were only 1000 taels, and the other 1000 taels were large silver ingots pressed on the corner of the box.There are thousands of taels of daily monthly money and annual bills saved up, but they are not bank notes, so it would be too eye-catching to take them out.

For a while, I was depressed. This world only recognizes gold and silver, and doesn't understand the beauty of "spiritual stones" at all!Only after reading those books in the past few days, did I realize that the Pearl World is full of "gold". It turns out that those stones are actually "money", and they can be used for cultivation. It is really wonderful.It's a pity that I guard countless celestial wine, elixir, spiritual wine, spiritual fruit and spiritual valley, but I don't get a piece of gold or silver.In fact, it should be more than enough to just take out a jade bottle and jade box and pawn it.It's just that it's hard to explain where it came from, and it has to go through the hands of Nanny Xu, who would never allow herself to be "a dowry".

But he couldn't do it for a while, so he took the bank note at the bottom of the box and gave it to Nanny Xu, saying that it was not enough.Mother Xu smiled and said, "Grandma has really stayed in the Duke's mansion for a long time. This 1000 taels is not enough? There are two two-storey shops facing the street and a back room, and it is less than 200 taels. It doesn’t cost 20 taels a year. This mutton is only 500 Wen a catty, how much can a sheep cost? Let me say, [-] taels is enough.”

Li Wan shook his head and said: "Ma'am, let's take them all, we still have to hire people to raise sheep, and it's not just about the sheep. If we go to the village with so many people, we have to build some houses. It's already autumn." The house has to be built before winter." Madam Xu said, "These three villages originally had courtyards, and there are no more than five or six people in each of them, and there is no need to build additional houses. "The two talked again, and Madam Xu collected the money and withdrew.

Although Li Wan had never learned how to manage a village, he also knew that a thousand taels of silver would not be enough to do this, but he could always figure out a way after going through this for a while.It was really helpless, so she just sold a few bottles and boxes. At that time, Madam Xu probably wouldn't say anything more, and there was no turning back when she opened her bow.

In the evening, I taught Jia Lan to read some words, put on the lamp, and coaxed him to sleep for fear of hurting his eyes. Now the vigil is held by Madam Yan and Nanny.After Li Wan returned to his room, he entered the Pearl Realm. During this time, he had been practicing "Spirit Consciousness Controlling Objects" in "The Art of Taichu".Entering the realm, the bright and slippery hard rock ground has a tall table at the end, and there is a low plane beside it. On the high table is a water-blue transparent glass bottle with water in it.There is nothing left in the rest, it is empty.The way to practice is to move the glass bottle from the high table to the low table with spiritual consciousness.

After getting used to the storage bag, it is not difficult for Li Wan to hold the glass bottle with his spiritual sense, but the glass bottle looks very slippery, with the slippery floor, the short machine and the tall table. The bottle is also very smooth, so Li Wan kept muttering in his heart, and the result is that the bottle has not moved smoothly even once after practicing until now.Either it slipped off the case, or it was splashed with water, or it fell to the ground halfway and broke.Li Wan was on the verge of crying.
