Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 644
"Other women must be happy to see all these jewels, why don't you seem happy?"

Sun Xunting pinched her nose with a smile, "Do you love money again?"

Zuo Fu sighed and said, "Don't spend so much money for me in the future."

She pointed to the jewels in the cabinet and said: "These are all made by everyone, they are not cheap, I understand your heart, don't let them be wasted like this in the future."

After a pause, he continued: "You know that, I don't like these things."

He pulled her to sit down, picked out an enamel tassel comb inlaid with small red jewels and jade beads from the jewelry cabinet, and put it in her bun, and said, "You are always so plain when you are in love?"

He took the mirror from the maid and said, "Look, how beautiful is it?"

Zuo Fu looked at the comb on his head, stretched out his hand to gently caress it, looked at his expectant eyes, and said: "These are enough, you are not allowed to waste them in the future."

After a pause, he said, "Thank you."

"Don't tell me thank you."

He pinched her cheek again, and said, "How can the husband and wife say thank you?"

After finishing speaking, he took her hand, took the bracelet off her hand, and said: "You don't need to wear such things anymore, she won't give you face, and you don't need to give her face either. Ruyi, give me to Madam Bring the emerald bead chain if you beat it."

"Yes."

After a while, Ruyi, the maidservant next to Sun Xunting, brought a small box from the jewelry cabinet. After opening the box, Sun Xunting took out the bracelet and said, "The color of this emerald is rare. It is especially suitable for you after stringing together, with spirituality."

He put the bracelet on Zuo Fu, and Zuo Fu said in surprise: "Is this blue water jade, or glass, where did you get it?!"

Blue water jadeite is rare, and even rarer is the glass variety.Although jadeite has been regarded as a treasure since the Song Dynasty, it was really popular in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, in Ming Dynasty, not many people wear jadeite.Because there is not much demand, it is not easy to get some top-quality jadeite.

And the one in Zuo Fu's hand is a pure blue color without a little gray, which will be a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands in future generations!
"Hehe, the granddaughter of everyone Liu is not simple! You can see the signs at a glance."

Sun Xunting smiled and said: "Jadeite is rare in Daming, and not many people understand it."

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I don't understand either, I just think this looks good and suits you."

Ruyi brought a few more small boxes one after another, and Sun Xunting opened them one by one, saying: "The main material was used to make a pendant, and the rest was made into this bracelet and this ring. This purple jadeite is also special, but there are not many materials, so I Another ring, earrings, and hairpin were given."

Zuo Fu looked at these things, and said in his heart that if he was not moved, he would be lying.In particular, the design of these jewels is very in line with her taste. Although this ring is embellished with emeralds, it is not vulgar at all.

The settings of the rings are widened, and patterns are carved, decorated with broken diamonds, purple or blue emerald egg-shaped, so that not only does it not feel vulgar, but it is very fairy-like.

Diamonds are currently only sold at my grandfather's, including these broken diamonds.Therefore, this should be made by our own craftsmen.There are a lot of jewelry I bought from TB in the store. Although I chose Chinese style, there are still traces of the times, so these craftsmen are also influenced by these jewelry, and the jewelry they design not only conforms to the aesthetics of ancient people but also meets the aesthetics of modern people.

However, even though it was designed by his own craftsman, he put so much effort into creating jewelry for himself, and even his grandfather couldn't find some materials. How can he not be moved by such care?

However, some people still said arrogantly: "Where can I wear so many rings? After wearing them all, I would become an upstart."

"how come?"

He lifted the index finger of her right hand and put the purple jade ring on, "Isn't this pretty?"

"Ma'am, the uncle also gave you many pendants."

Ruyi said: "Master, I have found a lot of places for you this time, all of which are very rare types of jadeite! My uncle said that the bright red and green ones are not suitable for you, only this kind of translucent jadeite is the most suitable." You. Look at this..."

Ruyi took out a pendant, "This lotus pendant is slightly green in color, moist in texture, delicate and transparent, and made of material half the size of a fist to make a pendant and a pair of earrings. The uncle said that only things like this fairy are worthy It's up to you."

She paused for a moment and took out another box, "And this one, this white translucent jadeite is rare, look, does it look like moonlight?"

Ok!

Glass again...

It's still made into a bracelet shape, wrapped with platinum links, this guy really knows his aesthetics clearly.

"Well, like."

Zuo Fu nodded, "It's really beautiful."

"Like it?"

he asked.

Zuofu nodded, "You've bothered, but I really can't wear so many, so don't spend money like this on me in the future."

"You are a strange woman."

He pinched her nose, "Other women will be sad if their husbands don't buy jewelry for her. But it's good for you, I bought it, and you still blame me, it's really hard to serve."

She stared, "Did I mean that? You still have to be diligent and thrifty to manage your family."

He laughed, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Isn't this teasing you? As long as you like it. I won't waste it in the future, but I will give you a bracelet and a ring every year."

"why?"

"Lock and circle you!"

"Bah! Let go, everyone is watching."

Although the maid at the side turned her head away, Zuo Fu still heard their titters, pushed Sun Xunting and said, "It's so indecent."

Sun Xunting doesn't care what other people think, he is at home anyway!Zuo Fu pushed him here, but he hugged him even tighter, his mouth was split open, completely lost the cool and handsome in the past, like a fool.

After a while, he let go of his hand.It's lunch time, it's time to eat.

Holding her hand to the flower hall, Mrs. Bai did not come out for dinner.He smiled, feeling that Bai's family is very good, it's best not to go out to eat forever, so as not to offend his wife.

There are no outsiders present, and the family does not pay so much attention to meals.However, the Sun family has a lot of people.Six younger brothers, six younger sisters-in-law, and each of them gave birth to two or three children.Apart from these people, there are three or four aunts who are still alive. With so many people together, one table is naturally not enough.

Therefore, for daily meals, the family has to open a few tables. Children under the age of seven can sit together regardless of gender, and all others have to sit separately for men and women.

But there are not many times to get together to eat like this, usually everyone eats in their own courtyard.Today we got together to eat because we wanted to meet our new sister-in-law.

It's no wonder that the flower halls of ancient people had to be built in Dali, including a large open space outside the flower hall.They all pay attention to having more children and more blessings, not to mention entertaining guests, the whole family takes up a lot of space for meals.

Sun Xuntang's eldest brother, Sun Xunzhi, is also in his thirties this year. He is only five months younger than Sun Xuntang, and was born to Aunt Wang who sat on Zuofu's right hand.Because his own child played well with Sun Xunting when he was young, after Sun Xunting inherited the title, this aunt was considered to have made it through, and she still had some face in the mansion.

The eldest son of the fourth Sun Xunzhi, Sun Zelin, is 16 years old this year, and the eldest daughter born to another aunt is also [-] years old this year, so after the banquet, his son naturally sat at the table with Sun Xunzhen, and his daughter sat at the table with himself .For this reason, the fourth daughter-in-law was obviously a little unhappy.

But there is nothing I can do if I am not happy. Although she is a concubine, she is the eldest among the sisters, so I still have to give this little noodle.Moreover, she doesn't have a daughter under her knees, so she doesn't have to fight for the title for her own daughter.

After some introduction, Zuo Fu only felt dizzy.I came to Sun's house before and met their family members, but I really have to remember them one by one. It's really not an easy task, there are too many people in the family!

This is not counting the little wives of Sun Xunting's brothers.On such an occasion, unless Aunt Wang is involved, how can ordinary aunts be present?It's an honor to even be around.

There are so many sisters-in-law, so many brothers, so many nephews and nieces who want to get to know each other, Zuo Fu only feels his head is like a bucket, thinking about it again, in a few days, his twelve sisters will also come back, and bring a bunch of uncles with them , a bunch of nephews and nieces...

God!

Fortunately, she still has a job, otherwise she would be stuck in this back house with a lot of relatives every day, wouldn't she be crazy?

No wonder there are a lot of gossip in the back house, one is boring, and the other is that there are too many people, so it is not normal to be together every day without bumping into each other!

fortunately……

We still have a job, and we can stay upright and not come back to live. As long as she is still a local official and the establishment does not belong to the central government, she can live in the yamen.

Zoff felt a burst of joy.To be honest, she is not a person who is good at dealing with people. The usual business contacts are already very troublesome. If she has to deal with a bunch of relatives every day, she will not be crazy.

Everyone was here, and dinner was served under the order of the head of the house, Sun Xuntang.The big family pays attention to eating and sleeping without talking, which obviously applies to the Sun family.Zuo Fu thought that he would inevitably have to deal with it, but he never thought that from the beginning to the end, everyone hardly talked, and most of the time it was a few younger brothers and sisters who brought food for him to let him eat more.Apart from these, there is no communication.

This gave Zuo Fu a new understanding of the Xungui Family.

really……

No matter in which era, in fact, the real nobles are the most law-abiding group of people.Like the third brother's family in the later generations, those people with high ethnicity, most of them really don't eat meat and stick to the teachings.

The food was delicious, and Zuo Fu would not be polite, he would eat as he wanted.Her behavior fascinated a group of little nieces, who all showed admiration.

To be a woman is to be like the third aunt. You don't need to be pretentious, you don't need to worry about other people's eyes, you can eat as much as you want, and you can eat whatever dish you want.

Zuo Fu is not rude when eating, because she understands medicine, she also eats slowly.However, compared to these ancient ladies, she is obviously more open-minded, so she won't just stare at the dishes on the plate in front of her and force herself to act like a lady.

When it comes to eating, the most important thing is to eat happily and comfortably.If they eat like this every day, they will have stomach problems sooner or later.

After drinking a bowl of chicken soup and putting down the bowls and chopsticks, the meal is finished.The servants took away the plates and served tea again, and then everyone started talking.

"Sister-in-law, the color of your lips is really pretty."

The fourth family smiled and said, "I bought this color too, but it doesn't look good after I painted it."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "Fourth siblings are humble, your skin is fair, you must look better than me with this color."

The other brothers and sisters looked at each other and thought to themselves: "This old four family will come to trouble. I just let go of this job, so I can't wait to flatter."

Don't let the old four's specialties stand in front of others!
A group of sisters-in-law rolled their eyes, and soon they came up to chat, talking to each other, and the flower hall was extremely lively for a while.

The eldest daughter of the fourth child, Sun Yishu, is obviously clever. Regardless of her young age, she is very good at talking, and it is easy to make people feel good about her.But who is Zoff?I have met too many people in these years, and the little girl catered deliberately to find a backer for herself. Thinking about her situation, Zuo Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This system of monogamy and multiple concubines is not only suffering for women, but also for these children.It's better to be born in the aunt's womb, but if you want to be born in the aunt's womb, you have to follow the aunt's face for the rest of your life.If it is a daughter's family, it will be even more troublesome.

It's okay for the aunt to have a good temperament, but it will be a lifetime of suffering if she meets such a small-minded person who tampers with the marriage!

In the future, this backward and destructive system must be destroyed!

Looking at Sun Yishu who tried his best to curry favor with him, Zuo Fu added another item to his goal book.

The conversation was lively, suddenly Sun Xunting clapped his hands and said: "Shuanyan, go and get the family account book and the key to the warehouse."

"Yes, sir!"

Sun Xunting smiled and said, "From now on, the affairs of this family will be yours."

This is the handover of the housekeeper's power, and everyone fell silent after hearing this.

In fact, it is not very surprising.In recent years, Sun Xunting has been in charge of everything in the family, whether it is the front yard or the back house, especially the money in and out.

The old nun next to him said she was a servant, but she was actually the big housekeeper of the back house.As for the Bai family?She has status but no rights in this family, and Sun Xuntang will never let her touch it.Now that she is married to a daughter-in-law, the family has ushered in a real hostess, so these matters must naturally be handed over to her.

Announcing this matter in front of everyone at this moment also shows that Sun Xunting attaches great importance to this matter, and at the same time, it also tells everyone that Zuo Fu has the final say on this family and the back house in the future!Including your monthly routine!

Zuo Fu was not very surprised.Before getting married, my mother had analyzed it for me. When I got married, this matter would probably fall on me, otherwise it would be unfair.Moreover, his mother had also stated the pros and cons, so Zuo Fu would not shirk it.

Although she is busy with official duties, the maids around her have been trained by her for many years, which one is not good?Chun Ya's family followed her here, whether it was Chun Ya or her man, following Zuo Fu's travels all these years, his vision was much wider than that of ordinary people.To put it bluntly, Chun Ya's current level may not be enough to be a local official, but it is absolutely fine to be in charge of a department.

Let's talk about spring rain and spring lotus.Don't look at Chun Yu's carelessness, but this girl dares to break through and fight hard. She arranges things in an orderly manner, and she is very good at it.As for Chunhe, that is the child who was delayed by his life experience, he has a clear account, and if he wants to leak a penny from her, it may be more difficult than going to heaven.

In addition, there is also the nanny who is in charge of the kitchen. Although people don't have to work on their own, they are only responsible for managing people, but experience is wealth. She knows it well in her heart, and she knows better than anyone else about food and drink. .Her apprentices are even more brilliant, they are quick in handling things, and they are also careful. With them in charge of the kitchen, I feel much more at ease.

And Zuo Gui's family is also a powerful figure.To put it bluntly, the person who has been with her for ten years has become a stone spirit even if he was originally a stone.

Zuofu taught them how to read and write, taught them knowledge, and explained the pros and cons of everything. He led them all over the world, went to the battlefield, cut down the enemy, and beat the gentry. What kind of storms and waves have you never seen?

It might be a little difficult for a few backyard women to exploit her loopholes in this.So after this matter, she is not worried that she needs to spend more time, because she has a helper now, and she is not fighting alone.

The ledger was promptly brought, along with a large bunch of keys.Sun Xunyu handed the account book to Zuo Fu and said, "All the old accounts have been settled, so I don't bring them all to you. They are all put in the warehouse. If you are happy, you can take a look. These are all accounts from this year. The bookkeeping method you are accustomed to is adopted, and Arabic numerals are used. After you finish reading, ask Ruyi to find the gentlemen in charge, and ask them if you have any questions."

While speaking, he took the key from Shun Yan's hand again, and said, "Here are the keys to all the warehouse cabinets at home, and I will give them to you now."

He raised his lips, "All the money I've earned in my life is in your hands, lady, you have to take care of it, it's my life!"

Zuo Fu glared at him, and said in a low voice: "Is there a regular shape?!"

Really, you have to tease it all the time, what's wrong with that?

Looking through the ledger, seeing that Arabic numerals were used, he nodded, handed the ledger to Chun Ya, and said, "Chun Ya, keep it, please read it later, and then I will read it carefully. Is it? These are not ledgers, these are half of Lord Hou's life!"

"puff!"

The others couldn't help laughing.

It is estimated that only this sister-in-law would dare to say such jokes, but they would not dare to.

Sun Xunting smiled, "It's wrong, it's a lifetime, I'm giving you my whole life."

Hearing the laughter of his younger brothers and sisters, Zuo Fu sighed and said, "You've been a little heavy all your life, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Sun Yishu was secretly speechless.

No matter how it sounded like flirting, this aunt really had a bold and unrestrained style, not at all restrained by her daughter's family.but……

I'm so envious!

If only I could live like her.

She can clearly feel that uncle and aunt are equal, and there is no feeling of being inferior to husbands and wives at all, which is why she can deal with it so easily.

If I can find a husband who treats me like this in the future, or live like Yin Zhihui, then I will be satisfied in this life.

Looking at Zuo Fu and thinking about his own situation, Sun Yishu felt sad.

When can I get rid of this family and get rid of the control of my aunt!
