Li Tong smiled and didn't explain much. Madam Wu was not thinking about her, but she was just focusing on her little village.

"Oh!" Qiu Mei sighed, and the topic began to spread, "You guys look at my eating habits just now, aren't you pitiful? I tell you, the Jiang family now, tsk! The food delivered in the kitchen is so hot that you can't use oil. Sister Wang really, there is a dish that must be boiled in water, pour some salt water, and even sesame oil. A while ago, I heard from the accountant Lao Sun that the old man took out 40,000 silver, how could the Jiang family have the money? He said that the 40,000 silver was pumped from the shop, and he even paid out the two shops to make up enough."

"I know this." Li Tong responded, she knew the most about this.

"I think the girl must know it!" Qiu Mei looked like I knew it. "The Jiang family's account has no money, it seems that it is poor. But last month, the north and south goods shops came to pay the bill. I heard that they had paid a total of 700 taels of silver. Lao Sun said that it was only more than 200 taels, which is the bird's nest money for the marquis, wife and old man in the mansion. Last month, I added the bird's nest money for the eldest and second girls. Logically speaking, it was not much. Anyway, I don't know what happened, but I actually calculated it to 700 taels. Lao Sun said that the account was right. I heard that Aunt Gu had a big temper and said that the purchasing purchase had tampered with the middle and beat the purchasing purchase. But the money in the shop had to be given. This was given, and I heard that the account was empty."

Qiu Mei looked gloating, Li Tong didn't say anything. Madam Wu handed over the matter of the north and south goods shops, but she just replaced the white swallows of the wife, the eldest girl and the second girl with the blood swallows. This year, the blood swallows are surprisingly expensive, and seven hundred taels are really not too much.

"It's so pitiful to us. Aunt Gu said she wanted to live a frugal life. Once she was frugal, she would first get frugal from the kitchen. In addition to the Marquis and the Lady, the two girls and the old man, and of course she also had herself. She still ate green rice. The rice that others ate was replaced with brown rice and oil. She said that this year, meat oil was expensive, so she also had soybean oil, and rapeseed oil was cheap, so she changed to rapeseed oil. Even rapeseed oil was not much. She set the quantity for the kitchen and asked Sister Wang to carry the oil barrel to her every day to get the oil.

Alas, the dish made in the big kitchen every day is not oily and smells like oil. It’s impossible to eat it. In the past, at least meat has never been cut off. Now Aunt Gu said that meat is greasy and not nourishing people. It’s best to eat less. It’s only three days to eat it. As for her, she has fat chickens and ducks every day, and she eats elbows and hooves every day. Why is she not afraid of being greasy?”

Qingju was stunned when she heard this. Shui Lian couldn't help but come up and touch Qiumei's arm, "No wonder I felt you lost weight when I saw you."

"I'm fine. The girl left a lot of money. When she was hungry and greedy, she took the money and asked someone to go out to buy some food. Chunyan, we gathered together almost every day to buy food from outside. Qingshu looked good, and the girl also gave her a lot of money. She was familiar with people. I saw that she had a house in her yard, and the pots, bowls and stoves were complete, and life was more comfortable than Chunyan and I."

"Go and get two hundred taels of silver, half three taels of silver bills, half half a tael of one tael of broken silver, and let Qiumei take it back and use it with Chunyan." Li Tong ordered Shui Lian.

"No, no! There is still a lot of money." Qiu Mei waved her hand quickly.

"You and Chunyan should be more generous. You should also give it to them, and even ask them to take some home if you need something outside. Don't be stingy with money, so that you and Chunyan will have a better life. It seems that even if you use ice, you will not be able to get it to you. Buying ice in is too swearing. If you buy more fruits and ice bowls, you can also cool down."

Li Tong slowly explained Qiu Mei, and Qiu Mei's eyes turned red when she heard it, "Look at what the girl said, I used to be at home... I mean, I'm not here every summer with my second aunt? Chunyan's family is poor, just like me, and she is not a person who has never suffered. Don't worry, girl."

"Yeah." Li Tong responded, feeling a little stunning. She couldn't imagine what Aunt Gu, who didn't even eat a lot of oil, would look like.

"By the way, there is another joke!" Qiu Mei's eyebrows flew up, "A few days ago, did the girl call Da Qiao and Da Yao's wife back? The horses in the mansion were no longer taken care of. Aunt Gu ordered Wang Xi, the nephew of Sister Wang of the big kitchen, to take care of the horse house. I don't know what happened anyway. The old man rode out the horse on the day before yesterday. Halfway through, the horse suddenly felt diarrhea on the street, and it was like spraying water. He lay on the ground and couldn't get up on the spot, almost knocking the old man out. Alas, it's a pity that he didn't fall."

Qiu Mei was very regretful and didn't fall.

"I heard Dushan say that the old man was very angry, but Wang Xi said he didn't blame him. He said that Aunt Gu said that he didn't hear that horses would eat black beans and white beans. He said that it must be Wang Xi who used the horses to try to wash oil from the middle. He also said that not all horses eat grass. There was a lot of grass in the back garden, so Wang Xi asked Wang Xi to go to the back garden to mow grass for the horses to eat. Wang Xi said that he took care of his aunt's instructions and went to the back garden to mow grass and fed the horses. The horses became sick and had diarrhea. This cannot be blamed."

"It's simply..." Shui Lian didn't know what to say. She went to the garden to mow grass and feed horses, but Aunt Gu could think of it!

"How can the Gu family have ever had a horse? Even the Jiang family hasn't seen what a horse looks like in more than ten years!" Qiu Mei spat, "The man surnamed Gu doesn't understand, and he doesn't ask. He pretends to understand the most if he doesn't understand. Later, the old man blamed Wang Xi and beat Wang Xi for twenty or thirty.

I heard that Aunt Gu was so aggrieved that she was so aggrieved that the next day, she called Sister Wang in and scolded her, saying that Sister Wang deliberately cheated her. Sister Wang was so angry that she ran to me and cried and scolded her. She said that her nephew had learned from Da Qiao and said that the horses had been gaudy, and the water plants had to be cleaned, and black beans and hay had to be eaten every day, otherwise they would have to lose weight. There were only a few grasses that could be fed in the back garden. Where could there be grass that horses could eat in the back garden? Wang Xi told her that she didn't believe it and insisted that Wang Xi go to the back garden to cut grass and feed the horses. She said that she killed two birds with one stone. She cleaned the garden and fed the horses again. When something happened, her neck shrank and all the things were pushed onto Wang Xi. Wang Xi was beaten twenty or thirty boards, and she didn't know if one leg could be saved."

Li Tong listened silently, but he didn't feel anything, as if he was listening to the eldest princess saying those extremely long-standing gossips.
