Chapter 75

After leaving the gate of Zhenbao Pavilion, An Ruyi saw that it was still early in the sky, so she decided not to take the car, and declined the suggestion of Jinda shopkeeper to send someone to guide the way. The mother and daughter just brought Lvbi and Taohua and walked casually along the street.

The atmosphere in Beijing is more open than other places, and there are not so many restrictions on women, so there are many women on the street wearing curtain hats and only bringing maids and servants to go shopping alone.The behavior of An Ruyi's mother and daughter is not unique.The clerks and shopkeepers of the shops along the way were not surprised, and some clever ones even provided rooms for female relatives only.

After all, shopkeeper Jin Da was not at ease, so he called a smart guy to follow behind them. An Ruyi's driver didn't stay where he was waiting, but also drove behind him from a distance, so that the master would not have a car when he was tired. inconvenient.

An Ruyi naturally knew about this, and she was not unhappy, so she let them go.

After walking around half the street, I came to a dim sum shop.There was a sweet smell in the air, the smell of freshly steamed white sugar cake.It's quite appetizing.It happened that there was a tea house next door to the dim sum shop.

An Ruyi simply took Liu Yue and two maids into the tea house, asked for a private room, took off the curtain, ordered the best tea, and ordered some signature refreshments, and asked Lu Bi to give Xiaoer a Five taels of silver ingots, let him use the remaining money to run errands to buy a catty of white sugar cakes and come back to taste the taste.

"Enough is enough, there is more left."

Xiaoer took the money and ran away with a happy face.The refreshments this lady ordered cost only three taels of silver, and a catty of white sugar cakes cost fifteen cents.Although this reward has to be divided in half by the shopkeeper.But compared to his monthly salary of only [-] Wen, the money lost during this trip almost caught up with his two-month salary.Such a generous nobleman is not easy to meet.

The tea, refreshments and sugar cakes they ordered were quickly put on the table.The white sugar cake is also served on another porcelain white plate.Xiao Er graciously explained that most of the customers who come to their store will ask them to run errands to the next door to buy dim sum.The dim sum shop next door makes the most authentic white sugar cakes, and many people are repeat customers.The shopkeeper is also used to serving the snacks bought by customers with a plate, which is convenient for others and for himself.

It's a good one to be convenient to others and to be convenient to oneself.The shopkeeper of this tea house is really considerate in his business.

After tasting tea and various snacks, everything was fine.Especially the white sugar cake smells sweet, soft and sweet in the mouth, and has a good taste.An Ruyi thinks that when she goes back, she can buy some more and bring them home for everyone to taste.

I shared some tea and snacks for Lubi and Taohua, and asked them to sit on the other side to rest.

While drinking tea and eating snacks leisurely, Liu Yue started chatting with An Ruyi.Chattering around, the mother and daughter talked lively, and Lvbi and Taohua occasionally added a sentence or two to make fun of it.The rules of getting along with their family in private are not too rigid, especially for these big maids who serve close to them.

As we talked, we talked about the pair of master and servant we met in Zhenbao Pavilion.

"I don't know which family they belong to. They are so arrogant after robbing things. That maid's nose almost went up to the sky. If it wasn't in our shop, I wouldn't have given it to her." Although Liu Yue At that time, I chose to give in, but I was still unhappy in my heart.It's not polite to grab something, hum!The important thing is that she still regrets not being able to bring the hairpin back to Lotus.

The lotus carving is so realistic, especially the petals look so pink.Oh, why didn't she think of it sooner!How appropriate would it be if lotus, plum blossom, rose, and peach blossom were each paired with a pair of hairpin jewelry matching their names?
"Mother, tell me I'll choose a set of lotus, plum, rose, and peach jewelry for each of them, okay?"

"It's fine if you like it. Do you want to find someone to send a message to Shopkeeper Jin and ask him to find a few looks for you to choose?" An Ruyi looked at her daughter with a smile, "As for the hairpin, since you gave it up, don't worry about it. , next time if you are unhappy, don't pretend to be generous. What happened to your own shop, is there any reason to let your master suffer?"

For An Ruyi today, nothing is as important as the happiness of her precious daughter.She is willing to be unruly and self-willed, she can accept it, and she is willing to be generous and humble in small things so that she also feels good.Anyway, the entire Liu family is her backing, which can ensure that her life will be smooth and smooth, and she will not be bullied.

"Well... I know, mother, I didn't struggle with it, but I just thought it was boring to fight for that. I have so many better ones." Liu Yue turned her head to think about it and thought she was a little funny, so she completely let go of it. .

"Okay, it's better to let them choose by themselves. It's the dowry I saved for them." Liu Yue said proudly.The mother often said that she wanted to save her dowry, so she would have to worry about saving some good things for her girls in the future.

"What?" Tao Hua was very happy when she heard it at first, but the young lady actually talked about the dowry in front of the madam?It's really getting worse and worse.She secretly rolled her eyes, Miss didn't even think about how old they are now, so she just said this?Miss is eight years old this year, and the four of them are about the same age, the oldest is less than ten years old, and the youngest is only seven years old.

Peach Blossom is also used to being mischievous, and Liu Yue likes her for her lively temperament, only under the lotus.She usually speaks bluntly and doesn't care about her brain: "Miss, why are you so stingy, you are going to use a set of jewelry as a dowry?"

Puff, cough, cough...

An Ruyi just took a sip of tea and swallowed half of it in her mouth, when she heard the words, she spit out immediately, and choked sadly, coughing non-stop.Fortunately, Liu Yue was not affected.Lubi and Taohua hurriedly put down their snack cups and ran over to pat their backs.Liu Yue also caressed her chest anxiously.

Lubi glared at Taohua: "Why are you so indifferent, are you ashamed?"

The peach blossoms are about to drop: "I, I, madam, I was wrong, and I dare not do it again."

Liu Yue was also angry: "It's all your fault, hmph, I'll punish you not to eat any snacks this month, and give them three points."

"Miss, don't..." Although there are only about ten days left in this month, when she thinks that her favorite dim sum will grow wings and fly away, Tao Hua really cried this time, with tears and snot falling down her nose.

Lu Bi pushed her away in disgust, this is too worthless, isn't she just fined her to eat snacks for a few days, as for that, she spurned Tao Hua very unsympathetically: "Yes."

Lubi and the others walked very close to Liu Yue's four personal servants on weekdays, and they took care of the four younger ones.The nature of getting along is far more intimate and casual than others.

An Ruyi couldn't stand it anymore.

She complied with that tone, and said dumbfoundingly: "I'm fine, you all don't have to worry about it."

"Ah, what about my dim sum?" Taohua immediately asked nervously, the big eyes on her small face looked pitifully back and forth between the faces of his wife and her own lady.

"Eat, eat, eat, you are so chubby, you are not afraid of getting fat." Lubi laughed angrily.I have never seen such a gluttonous food.

An Ruyi glanced at her daughter, but said nothing.The meaning is obvious, your own maid can handle it by herself.Taohua didn't bother to talk to Lubi, so she quickly changed her target and followed her eagerly with her small eyes.Liu Yue stroked her forehead: "Three days."

Taohua glanced at the dim sum on the table with aggrieved eyes.

"Forget it, forget it, don't count today, start tomorrow. Two days, no less." Liu Yue couldn't take it anymore, and was afraid that Tao Hua's pitiful appearance would continue: "Don't look at me like that, or else I changed my mind."

"Thank you miss. It's better to be a miss." Taohua smiled through tears.It was decided that she must eat enough to eat today, and eat back the amount for the next two days.

Everyone in the room laughed—angrily.Why is there such a greedy girl?
