Splendid glory of a girl from another world

Chapter 17 Orchid
"Everyone is!" Qingyun muttered and pushed the door into the study.

His young master was still scribbling, "Young master, it's so boring to stay in the mansion every day, let's go for a walk?"

Zheng Ying finished writing in one go, put down the brush and sorted out the book case, not wanting to talk to Qingyun.

Qing Yun leaned closer, "Young Master, you don't know how arrogant that Young Master Song from Junzhou City is!"

Accustomed to his young master's silence and no one to talk to, Qingyun himself can still talk very lively.

"Young Master Song, regardless of his young age, he has a great reputation in Junzhou City next door! I heard that he is not only good at learning, but also has a sharp mouth. Someone in the local area competed with him for knowledge, and he was speechless with a few words That's right. We went to Yinzhou City to a dozen or so students in Desheng Building today, and we went there to bump into Mr. Song. You were hit by them, and your face was stripped off in public. Don't look at it, just The little ink in their stomachs, they are ashamed to go to others to compete, and the reputation of the students in Yinzhou City has been lost by them!"

Qingyun didn't know if his young master listened to him seriously.

Just listen to Zheng Ying said: "If you have nothing to do, don't run outside! Serve the pen and ink well."

Qingheng can't see anyone all day long, so he has to do the grinding himself.

In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, Qingheng stepped into the gate of the mansion, learned the lesson of being inexplicably reprimanded yesterday, and went to Zheng Ying's study first.

"My lord, Miss Li's orchids sold for 500 taels of silver. I'll send the Huitong bank note to Miss Li."

Zheng Ying looked up from the book, "What orchid?"

Where did the orchid come from?
Qing Heng opened his mouth, "It's the pot I brought over yesterday. It was left in the study room last night and I just took it out this morning. I heard from Cuiping that it was brought over by Ms. Li's house, and it has been raised for a while. It's been kept in the back room."

Yesterday Qingheng came in with something in his arms, and he also said it was an orchid. He was in a depressed mood then, so he didn't care what Qingheng said.

"You mean the orchid was sold for 500 taels?" Zheng Ying dropped the book.

Qingheng swallowed his saliva, "Yes, otherwise there would be more. Mr. Song went out in a hurry this time, and he didn't have much money left on him. Miss Li's orchids are in excellent condition, and she said that 500 taels is just a deposit. Once you have a home, ask someone to estimate the price, and then make up the difference.”

Zheng Ying waved his hand.

Qingheng trotted into Jinfuyuan.

Li Qiusui took the 500 tael bank note from Qing Heng, "There are so many!"

Qingheng seemed a little excited, "Isn't it! Mr. Song's reputation is well-deserved, and the rumors outside are not all false. His demeanor is impeccable. Since he said to find someone to estimate the price, he will definitely not break his promise."

She pursed her chapped lips, "Miss Li, don't worry."

What worries her is that she will not give it later. With these 500 taels, she can start to do many things.

My eldest brother is thirteen this year, and the youngest fourth brother is eight years old. It will be too late if we don't send him to study.

No one in the family has any fame, and the corvee can be offset with money.

What about military service, what if there is a war and conscription!

Not to mention the children and grandchildren of her grandma who are reluctant to let go, they are her family, including her father, there are four males.

You said that Li Sanzhu is getting old, it's not that old! At the age of 30, corvee and military service will not pass him.

Fourteen is considered an adult here, her elder brother will be old enough next year, how many years can the remaining two last?

It's always good to plan early.

Li Qiusui had a plan in mind, and he motioned to Cuiping to take ten taels of silver to Qingheng.

She is in the Zheng family, and is treated the same as the young ladies of the Zheng family, with two taels of monthly money and three taels of makeup money.

She doesn't need to go out to socialize, she has no place to spend, and all the money has been saved.

Wealthy families have the habit of giving rewards. They used to ask people to run errands for errands, but because they were so shy and didn’t have much money to spare, they never showed any signs of it.

"Miss Li, I really can't do this. The young master will beat me to death if he finds out!" Qingheng refused to accept it, waved his hands, and stepped back, looking at his posture, he was about to run outside.

The green bamboo standing at the door blocks the door.

"If you don't accept it, I won't bother you next time I have something to do." Li Qiusui insisted.

Cuiping put a certain amount of money into Qingheng's hands.

"Miss, give me some broken silver, tea money is enough..."

"Man, why don't you talk about it!" Qingheng still wanted to talk, but Cuiping gave him a white look and interrupted.

After sending Qingheng away, Li Qiusui asked Cuiping to exchange the banknotes for odds and ends, which is convenient for spending.

You don't need to go out for this matter, you can just find the big housekeeper, who happens to be in the mansion, so the matter can be done smoothly.

Each person in Cuiping and Cuizhu was given ten taels of silver.

Li Qiusui's original words are like this, "I eat meat and you always have to drink some soup! Money is a person's confidence. Look at me, I dare not go out without money in my pocket."

Before that, she had counted on those monthly routines to get by.The Zheng family had two meals a day, and at noon they could only ask the kitchen to make some pastries to satisfy their hunger.

If you don't give me any favors, someone will listen to you.

After spending it, how can there be extra money for them.

Although there is a monthly money issued by Zheng's mansion, the two of them take the role of first-class maids, and each of them only has a little more than one or two taels of silver a month.

Others' big maids have extra subsidies from their masters, but she naturally doesn't have them here.

Qingheng went back and took out the silver and showed it to Zheng Ying.

Zheng Ying was looking at a painting, glanced at the silver in Qing Heng's hand, and said, "Here, just take it."

You are my servant, and you can order me around at will with ten taels of silver.

Zheng Ying rolled up the painting scroll, "I will do something for her in the future, and I will continue if I give money."

Qingheng said "yes".

Zheng Ying looked at Qing Heng's happy back, and thought to himself, I'm rich!Then should his private money be returned?

The orchids were sold for money, and Li Qiusui was more concerned about the remaining pots of orchids.

The pot that Qingheng took away is not the best one, rare is the most expensive, so I can't sell it for now, so I'll take good care of it first, and then I'll talk about other things when the time comes.

Li Qiusui has been waiting for news from Zheng Ying ever since he started thinking about going home that day.

Zheng Ying spent most of the day in the study in the outer courtyard, and would come back to sleep very late, sometimes resting directly in the study.

There is a tendency to give up Jinfuyuan to Li Qiusui.

It was only after supper that day that Zheng Ying went into the yard.

Li Qiusui rushed to meet him, "Is it so early tonight? Have you had dinner? Is the food good?"

Her attitude is attentive, like a little daughter-in-law who is eagerly waiting for her husband to come home.

Zheng Ying didn't respond, and walked straight into the house.

It's not a short time for the two of them to get along. How can this girl not understand her nature!
If you don't want to ask for something, how can you be so courteous?Running out of people does not prevent her from throwing people over the wall.

Li Qiusui was in a good mood, and followed Zheng Ying step by step, and suggested thoughtfully: "It's still early, why don't you read a book for a while?"

Then he called Cuiping loudly, "Light up an extra lamp, and the room will be brighter. My son wants to study, so don't hurt your eyes."
