In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is here.
It was only on the New Year's Day that Chu Yu realized how poor their family was.
"Master, please look at this account book later. You have been sitting for such a long time. It's time to move around. Your back will hurt again later."
Xing'er advised with some distress.
Chu Yu looked at the account book in front of him with a strange expression on his face.
After hearing Xing'er's words, she turned around and asked, "What do you think one tael of silver can do?"
Zao'er was eating snacks nearby. After hearing Chu Yu's words, she almost choked. After swallowing, she hurriedly said:
"One tael of silver can buy these two kilograms of this fine chestnut cake, and the flowers on my hair can buy two of them."
While saying this, he also pointed his finger.
When Xing'er saw Zao'er's unruly look, she frowned and glared at her angrily.
Zao'er shrank her neck in fright, then put on a sweet smile, thinking that this sister Xing'er was looking more and more like Grandma Li.
Xing'er was too lazy to pay attention to her, and immediately said to Chu Yu:
"Master, the price of rice has dropped a bit now. One tael of silver can buy two shi of rice. For a family of three or five people, it is only three shi of rice a year. If you save more, two taels of rice for a year will be enough.
.”
These words successfully made Chu Yu and Zaoer look over with wide eyes.
Zao'er admired Xing'er for knowing so much, and Chu Yu was surprised that one tael of silver was so useful.
"Hurry up and bring me a bowl of tea to calm down the fire!"
Chu Yu gritted his teeth and said.
If she hadn't been so pregnant now, she would have gone to the palace and asked the prodigal man in her family what she had done with the two hundred thousand taels.
Two hundred thousand taels, that’s two hundred thousand taels!
It's enough for her to eat, drink, and drink meat without any worries... and even lead her to a corner for several lifetimes.
Zao'er immediately went to bring her tea, and Xing'er frowned and asked:
"Master, there is something wrong with the accounts? Or has this servant called Grandma Wang to come and talk to you?"
When Chu Yu asked what she could do with one tael of silver, she thought it should be in the accounts.
Chu Yu took a deep breath and asked:
"It's because there is no money left in the books. The two hundred thousand taels of silver when we opened the mansion were all paid out by me."
As she said this, she thought of the prodigal man in her family, which made her feel a little sad.
Before you came here, did you know that Yongzheng could spend money so much?
"Ah? Two hundred thousand taels?"
Zao'er heard the tail end of Chu Yu's words, and her voice immediately rose in pitch.
Myolie was so frightened by her shouting that she immediately covered her mouth.
"Ancestor, can you please lower your voice? Do you want everyone in the house to know?"
Zaoer also covered her mouth immediately, and then asked in a low voice:
"Master, has Master secretly done something that you cannot know about?"
Xing'er immediately scolded:
"Shut up, master, you can arrange it too. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't beat you."
As he spoke, he threatened to hit her. Zaoer was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth and did not dare to speak any more.
"Master, don't listen to this silly girl's nonsense. My master must have a reason for not telling you. If you want to know, I will find a way to send someone to find out..."
Chu Yu thought for a while and shook his head.
"No, you two remember not to reveal this matter to anyone, and don't ask. Just pretend you don't know about it."
Xing'er and Zao'er agreed immediately.
Chu Yu immediately said:
"By the way, I will pick out some materials and jewelry later, and bring some snacks to give to those few.
Tell them that they don't have to come to express gratitude, and let the kitchen cook a New Year's Eve dinner.
Just put it in...Wugege's yard."
Myolie nodded immediately after hearing this, and then went out to give orders.
Chu Yu saw Zaoer's big eyes turning gurglingly, and immediately said:
"What are you thinking about? You're the only one with a big mouth around me, but you're trying to protect me this time. Do you know that?"
Zaoer nodded hurriedly.
"I know, I know. Master, I will help you to lean on the couch for a while."
Chu Yu was a little tired now and nodded.
"You are nearly seven months old, but you still don't see any flesh on your face.
I used to see people gain weight when they were pregnant, but you have grown a belly now, and it seems you should eat less."
Zaoer frowned and said.
She will be seven months old soon, but she is still the same as before. Her belly is very big, and it seems that walking is very difficult.
"Have I not eaten enough? I forgot who advised me to eat less this morning."
Chu Yu smiled and glared at her.
Zao'er immediately scratched her head and said, "Yes, Master ate enough in the morning, why didn't he gain weight?"
"You are lucky that your master doesn't gain weight, otherwise he would have disliked me."
Seeing Zaoer's confused look, Chu Yu nodded her forehead again and said:
"With how stupid you are, I don't feel confident handing you over to that man named Liu."
"Oh, Master, what are you talking about? I don't want to marry that idiot."
Zaoer's face was as red as the boiled shrimp, and it immediately turned red.
Chu Yu smiled again and said:
"I didn't even say who it was, how did you know it was an idiot?"
Zaoer helped her sit down, feeling even more embarrassed: "Master, just use me for fun."
"Dr. Liu's family is clean. He said he wanted to marry you to be his wife. He has mentioned it to me seriously twice. I think he is a good person. Since you said you won't marry, then...
.But I just pushed it for you?"
Chu Yu said in a serious tone.
"Hey, hey, no!"
"Slave...slave...oh! I'm willing to marry you."
As soon as he said this, Zaoer breathed a sigh of relief, and now he dared to look up at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu was very happy to see this look.
"Who are you going to marry?"
It happened that Myolie came back and immediately asked with a smile after hearing this sentence.
Now everyone in the mansion knows that Dr. Liu proposed marriage to Zaoer, so the little girl spent every day running to the doctor. It can be considered that she got what she wanted.
Zao'er felt even more embarrassed when she saw the smile on Xing'er's face.
But then he stamped his feet: "Master and Sister Xing'er are just looking for fun with me today, huh, I won't pay attention to you."
After saying that, he covered his red cheeks and ran out.
When he left the door, his face was still red.
It happened that Xiao Anzi was happily carrying a food box to the yard.
"Hey, sister Zao'er, what's wrong with you, your face is so red?"
They usually have a good relationship, but seeing her like this, I was a little worried at the moment.
Zao'er didn't even take away her hand covering her face, she said angrily: "It's okay, please go in quickly."
It was very rude to say it.
But Xiao Anzi was used to being like this, and it was not uncommon for her to be beaten by the ears.
"Are you feeling unwell? Your face is so red, but it's not because of the high fever. Go to Dr. Liu's office as soon as possible."
