The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

His subtext was to go to the street and take a look. This little greedy cat must have smelled something delicious again.

Looking at the two children, one big and one small, walking in front, Song Shengfu walked slowly with a cane.

One old and two young,

At least there was a consensus on the walking speed.

The group moved slowly like turtles.

Time is long, so go slowly and don't be too anxious.

Song Shengfu has aged a lot, meaning she looks older.

For example, the eyelids are more wrinkled, making the eyes look a little smaller.

His back seemed to be more hunched than before, and he looked a little shorter.

But nothing seems to have changed. She brought her grandchildren out with her before, and she still does now.

But the children from before have grown up, and now there are new children.

It’s no different when taking the kids out. Eat something, go shopping for jewelry or a bookstore, look at some new things, buy a big bag of things, and then go home.

Sister Qiong is now the most vain girl in the family. She doesn't talk much and is often silent, but she loves beauty very much and dresses herself beautifully no matter what she does.

Every time I go out, I have to choose a lot of new jewelry.

The two people in the family who couldn't save money were Kang Ge'er and her.

No one knows where Kang Ge'er spent his money, but Qiong Jie'er spent all her money on herself.

Ding Meishu lamented more than once that Sister Qiong's name was not well chosen.

"Qiong"

"poor"

I can't save a penny, and even the poor mice will leave crying when they come.

At this time, Sister Qiong was holding the necklace she had just bought and had someone match her clothes with it.

For her, she feels that money is just a different way of accompanying her.

Every child has a monthly allowance from birth. This is the rule set by Duan Bo's Mansion. No, it should be called Duan Hou's Mansion now.

This money was saved for them since they were young, and when they grow up and divide the family property, they will get a share. No other family will give it to them.

Each child was given one hundred taels of silver, which was kept by their parents when they were young. When they grew up, they could plan their own spending and decide whether to spend it all or save it.

Once the money is used up, it will naturally be gone.

This is also a disguised way of distributing their property in installments in advance.

So what happens in other people's houses, where people spend a fortune to buy something, is not what happens in the Marquis's mansion.

Because there is simply not that much money, Gongzhong will not keep accounts for his children.

All in all, if it weren't for their parents' private subsidies, they would still be a little tight on money.

If you want more pocket money, you have to build your own business like Kang Ge'er.

Boying Hall is the favorite place for brothers in Beijing. The income of Boying Hall is very considerable. At least Kang Ge'er has never borrowed money from his younger brother again.

The previous debts have long been paid off.

Setting a good example for their younger brothers and sisters, Wei Jie'er and Xuan Ge'er both have their own small businesses.

These were not given by the government, they were all done by themselves.

While they were tinkering with these things, they realized that it was not easy to open a shop.

It takes many failures to succeed once.

Only at this moment did they seem to understand what their grandmother meant.

One hundred taels of monthly allowance is a lot. If you start saving it from the moment you are born, it will be twelve thousand taels in ten years.

If you use this 12,000 taels to buy property, you can buy many shops and farms.

Of course, you can also spend it all, which is equivalent to eating up all the savings.

These are truths that you can only understand when you reach a certain step.

It is better to act once than to teach a thing a hundred times.

What you have learned is in your mind and no one can take it away.

Sister Wei fiddled with the abacus. She had to settle the accounts every quarter.

The abacus beads jingled non-stop as a young girl in half-worn clothes sat at the table, carefully counting her accounts.

Her hair was tied up and secured with pearls, its jet-black hair spread out behind her, with only a few strands of black hair hanging in front, making her look very gentle and generous. Birds were chirping outside the window, and the sun was shining on the table. The scene was truly beautiful.

It seemed like she had been sitting for too long, so she rubbed her wrists and stood up to stretch.

Now all her dowry is kept by herself. Having been with her aunt for these years, she is proficient in accounting and management.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the little girl who had just arrived at the Marquis' Mansion had grown into a big girl.

The eldest daughter is going to get married next year, and the time she spends at home will become less and less.

Sister Wei changed her clothes and prepared to go to her grandmother's yard to talk to her for a while.

She had walked this road countless times. After passing through the path, she arrived at the Chuihua Gate. After passing the gate, there was a corridor. After passing the corridor, there was a small garden. After passing the small garden, there was a pond. In the pond, there were big carp fed by her grandmother.

Arriving here means that grandma’s yard is not far away.

The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was just right. The wind gently lifted a strand of her hair, then playfully let it down.

Song Shengfu had just woken up from a good sleep and was drinking refreshing tea when Sister Wei arrived.

"Grandma, how are you feeling today?"

Sister Wei came closer and spoke louder.

People in the world value speaking softly, but in front of Song Shengfu, who is a little deaf, it seems a little impractical.

The voice was so quiet that she couldn't hear it.

"Okay, I had a dream, but I forgot it when I woke up."

Sister Wei thought, if she was dreaming, she must not have slept well.

I have so many dreams and so many worries. My grandma is still so worried.

Song Shengfu was drinking tea when she felt like there was an extra hat on her head.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted and time passed slowly.

Song Shengfu feels that she is living a good life now and is very satisfied with her current retirement life. It seems that she doesn't have to worry about her children and grandchildren at all.

The only thing she might not be satisfied with is that her ears are not working well.

But it’s not a big problem and does not affect eating and drinking.

In addition, I feel very healthy and rarely catch a cold.

Now it's the others who are happy.

The old lady is in good health and everyone is happy.

……

When it was still a warm winter and not so cold, Mrs. Luo passed away quietly.

When she passed away, her children and grandchildren were by her bedside, accompanying her in saying her last words.

Mrs. Luo talked a lot, mostly about things in the past.

She talked about when she was a child, how she grew up and got married, how she had children, and her whole life.

Perhaps everyone will reminisce about their life before they die, and so does Mrs. Luo.

After Lord Luo returned to the capital, her health suddenly improved, but soon it gradually deteriorated.

She kept enduring, waiting for her son to come back from the battlefield.

Sometimes when she went to bed, she was afraid that she would not be able to wake up the next day and that she would have regrets.

Fortunately, she waited.

"After I die, bury me with your father. He must have been waiting for a long time."

"When I'm gone, don't cry. I heard that the tears of descendants will flood the road to the underworld. Let your father and I take our last journey in peace."
