Chapter 153
Because Luo Baisu's attitude was extremely firm in the face of Xu's forced marriage, Luo Tian was very happy in her heart. She was in charge of the family's money, and the result of her happy mood was directly reflected in the family's food.

Luo Baisu found that the meals at home had suddenly become richer these few days, and his status had obviously improved a lot compared to before. For example, it was cold. Sure enough, there was a pot of deliciously stewed mutton soup on the dinner table on the second day.More importantly, when the two children saw him, they no longer refused to give him a good face like the day before yesterday. Since he came home, Luo Tiandu and Luo Ming have surrounded him to greet him, Let him be very useful.

Not only Luo Baisu, but also the newcomer Xiang Lan Xiqiao and the others became more and more sure that the first thing this family wanted to please was not the Fang family and Luo Baisu, but the little lady Luo Tiandu. As for Luo Baisu, then It is a symbol of this family, and it is displayed for outsiders to see. They just want to please Fang and Luo Tiandu, take care of three meals a day, eat enough and wear warm clothes. They don't understand and don't want to Understand.

Of course, this matter also has a negative impact. Needless to say, Luo Tiandu's vicious reputation is even more famous, and even the Fang family has a reputation of being jealous. Hats of guilt, of course there are also those women who deeply hate their men for being lustful, secretly praising Luo Baisu for his love and righteousness, and now that he is prosperous, he is unwilling to let down his poor wife.

In short, there is everything to say, and there are mixed reviews.

After the turmoil of Mrs. Jing passed, Luo Tian put all his thoughts on preparing for the matter before the year.This was the first time for the Luo family to celebrate the New Year in Shangjing, so she naturally wanted to make more arrangements.In addition, there is one more thing that is more troublesome, that is, Master Zuo was also born in the twelfth lunar month. In a few days, it will be his birthday. The Luo family has received so much care from the Zuo Mansion. Congratulations anyway.

It's just that what kind of congratulatory gift is suitable for Zuofu, it makes Luo Tian feel sad again.

At this time, she really missed the customs of her previous life.If it’s a friend’s birthday, and you don’t have time and don’t know what to give, you can put a few red notes with lovely and respectable people’s faces in a red envelope, which is simple and affordable, and saves the trouble for the sender. The recipient is also happy.It's cliche, but it works.But now it is impossible to bring a box of silver ingots to Zuo Qingzi directly, saying that he doesn't know what he likes, so give him some money and let him buy it himself.

If the Luo family really did such a thing, they would be ashamed without the Zuo family chasing them away.

Worry!Human relations are really nerve-wracking.

Luo Tian thought so much that his hair would fall out, but he still had no idea, so he had to ask Uncle Gu for advice.

Uncle Gu thought for a while, then said: "This is easy to handle. The Gu family also has some good things, but I scattered them in the homes of the master's students. I vaguely remember that the master still had a painting of the former great scholar, and now it is used as a painting." The birthday gift should be very much in line with Mr. Zuo's wishes. It's just that this has been going on for a long time, so I have to find out whose family this painting is in."

This is the property of the Gu family, and Luo Tian doesn't want to use it.In her eyes, the Gu family was only her nominal grandfather after all, and she hadn't seen each other for so many years, and she was a little unhappy about using their family's things indiscriminately.

But Gu Bo said: "I originally planned to wait for your father to gain a firm foothold in the court, and then take it out for use. I haven't taken it out now, because I was afraid that it would make those people jealous, and you wouldn't be able to keep it." These people naturally refer to the side relatives of the Gu family.

The big family has a lot of right and wrong, although Luo Tiandu didn't ask too much, he also knew that Gu Bo must have put in a lot of effort to keep such a small family property, otherwise he would not have recorded the things separately and stored them in other people's homes.There is no one in the master's house, Gu Bo is an old slave, guarding so many gold and silver mountains, he didn't think about running away with the gold and silver, or finding a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in and live his life. It is really admirable to inquire about the descendants of the master's family through untold hardships.

Because of preparing a congratulatory gift for Zuo Qingzhi, Luo Tian had to count his property again.Now the income of the Luo family is divided into two parts. Luo Baisu's salary and other obvious income such as New Year's subsidies are all in the hands of the Fang family. They are used to control the daily expenses of favors, and Luo Tian manages it himself. She fiddled with messy things, and the money she got was collected by herself. For this reason, Fang specially made a big box for her to store her treasures.

Now this box has contained a whole box of all kinds of unique and precious jewelry, more than 600 taels of silver, and more than 40 taels of gold. The sum of these scattered gold and silver alone is close to 1000 taels.

The money earned on weekdays was kept by Luo Tian, ​​and Luo Ming didn't ask, she knew that the money was earned by the little girl's brains, and she didn't even look at the box containing gold and silver. To know how much the family earns, just look at the account book.But looking at the ledger is completely different from seeing a whole box of real money.Luo Mingdu swallowed his saliva involuntarily when he saw the box full of shining gold and silver.

"Xiaodu, is this really the money we earned this year?" Luo Mingdu touched a piece of broken silver with his eyes shining brightly, with an expression of disbelief still on his face.

1000 taels!Thinking about the past, they couldn't even eat enough to eat in Luojia Village. At that time, who would have thought that they would earn so much money one day.

Luo Tian looked at her expression and thought it was very funny, and said: "Yes, sister, even if father doesn't become an official in the future, this money will be enough for us to live for the rest of our lives."

Luo Mingdu nodded excitedly: "Well, let's go home and buy land, so we can be the landlords in the future."

Luo Tian did some calculations in his mind, 1000 taels would be able to buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, a rich gentry could not be called a rich gentry, but it should be enough to be a small landlord.

Luo Mingdu has already begun to fantasize about the wonderful situation of the local mother-in-law: "Well, when the time comes, we will plant more than ten acres by ourselves, and the others that cannot be grown will be rented out, and only those who are honest, hardworking and willing to serve the fields will be rented out, so that every year Just collecting the rent can make a living, and it saves my mother from having to work in the fields by herself. With the money from selling the grain, I will repair our yard, build two more rooms, and take grandpa over, and come with us Let's live." Luo Ming thought more and more, the more beautiful he became, he wished he could go back to the countryside to live a life right away.

Luo Tian liked to see her carefree smile, and nodded his head frequently: "That's right. At that time, we will be at home, and we will be able to sleep until we wake up naturally."

Curious baby Luo Mingdu has another question: "What is natural waking?"

"Oh, this is that you can sleep as long as you want." The two words that modern young people usually talk about are that they hope to sleep until they wake up naturally, and count money until their hands cramp. It's a pity that she can't reach the point of counting money to the point of hand cramps, but she can be satisfied if she can sleep until she wakes up naturally and has food.

Luo Ming thought about it seriously, but still shook his head and said, "That's not good. Someone can do the housework. Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. Don't you often say that?"

"Yes, yes, yes, elder sister is right, going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health." Luo Tiandu laughed.

Both sisters selectively forgot the fact that Luo Mingdu was going to marry into the Qi family after the Chinese New Year.

On the day of Zuo Qingzhi's birthday, Luo Baisu specially adjusted the time for bathing, and led Fang and the others to Zuofu.

Zuo Qingzhi, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, followed the route of a pure minister, his reputation in the court is still very good, no matter whether he is from aristocratic family or nobles in the court, he has a good impression of him.Therefore, although the Zuo family did not celebrate in a big way, there were still many people who came.

Luo Baisu's official position is low, if not for his old acquaintance with the Zuo family, the Luo family might not even be able to enter the gate of Zuo's mansion on such an occasion.

Fortunately, Zuo Qingzhi has always been kind to Luo Baisu, and led him to meet a few close friends who he usually has a good temper. Fang Shi and Luo Tiandu were attracted by others, and later went to meet Mrs. Zuo .

Mrs. Zuo was meeting guests in the flower hall in the backyard. The room was surrounded by female family members. After Luo Tiandu went in, he took a look and found that she didn't recognize any of them.

Mrs. Zuo was talking to people, and when she saw them coming in, she smiled and said, "You guys are here? Come and sit down, Xiaoya was still talking about you just now!"

Jian's has been busy in and out, when she heard Madam Zuo speak, she led them to the chairs near the copper stove with charcoal fire, and said: "It's cold outside, it's freezing, hurry up and warm up the fire to get rid of the cold .”

Luo Tiandu and his party of three sat down on the chairs under the watchful eyes of the ladies in the room.One of the ladies probably felt that they were very unfamiliar, and asked curiously: "Who are these?"

Mrs. Zuo laughed and said, "They are family members of Mr. Zhuo Lang Luo, haven't you seen them?"

All the female relatives present were fourth-rank and third-rank and above. Naturally, they looked down on a female family member of a sixth-rank official, so their attitude was not very warm.

The woman who spoke first also felt a little bored, so she laughed a few times and stopped answering.On the contrary, a woman in a chrysanthemum-blue jacket looked at them, thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Sir Lang Luo? But that Lord Luo who said in front of people that he would never take concubines? Chongyang During festivals, the one who litigated with the Qiao family?"

It was a bit rude to say this, Luo Tian even looked up at the person who spoke, secretly guessing her identity.The tone of her speech is not very polite to the Qiao family, she must be someone who has no friendship with the Qiao family.

Jian's secretly reminded from the side: "That is the wife of Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Before Mrs. Fang could reply, the woman went on to say: "Mrs. Luo is very lucky. Mr. Luo values ​​love and righteousness so much, we are really jealous."
