Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

Mi Qiqi went to the kitchen and had a simple lunch.

Return to the east side room of the main house.

The stove was already burning brightly, and after dinner, I no longer felt cold.

Mi Qiqi dragged the boxes to the door of the east side room, took out the things one by one, emptied the boxes, and dragged them in to put them in order.

The east room already has a bunk bed, a dressing table, a wardrobe and a set of square tables and chairs.

There are also simple furniture in the main hall and the west side room.

These furniture were certainly not purchased by the Liu family and the Zhao family of Miqin's family. They were all selected from the large warehouse of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis even gave him a house as a reward.

Naturally, I don't mind adding more furniture.

From this point of view, the things in the kitchen should also be supplied by the Marquis' Mansion.

However, since it is handled by the Zhao family, the things are naturally good.

Just look at the furniture.

They are all good and solid wood, and they are still new.

I must remember this favor and express my gratitude later.

Looking at the things placed on the bunk bed, they were all accumulated by Mi Qiqi over the years.

But how to accumulate.

It is not as good as the reward from the masters this time.

The old lady rewarded him with a set of jade headdress and a purse filled with gold melon seeds, weighing about one or two taels.

Madam Hou, Zuo.

She was awarded a set of headpieces inlaid with kingfisher feathers and gold, as well as several kinds of fine headwear, including embroidered satin, brocade, and flowered silk.

Although it is what is left over from cutting.

But it can be used to make small items such as handkerchiefs, headbands, purses and ornaments.

These are all good materials that can be used to keep in the bottom of the box.

The eldest daughter, Sun Lin, is even more generous.

Just send a box of jewelry.

The box alone was worth two taels of silver; it was a brocade box inlaid with gold and carved patterns.

Inside each of them there is a pair of kingfisher hairpins, white jade earrings, a silver necklace, a pearl bracelet and a jade ring.

among them.

Four pearls as big as longan, two pieces of amber, and a pair of sapphires.

These jade stones cannot be transformed into spirits.

Mi Qiqi has already tried it.

Because the spring of the Crescent Moon Spirit Spring was ruthlessly rejected.

In addition to jewelry, there are also herbs.

Ginseng is only ten years old and cannot be transformed into spirits. Polygonum multiflorum, angelica, agarwood, etc. are all several years old.

There was also a woolen cape, a sheepskin coat, and two sets of clothes each for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all made of brocade.

This should only be worn during the New Year. It would be a waste to wear it at other times.

Mi Qiqi only brought out clothes made of better fabrics, and distributed the rest to her sisters.

There is also a box of things, which are rewards from the masters.

There are many hairpins, earrings, bracelets, jade pendants, hair ornaments, and so on.

Although it is not as much as the rewards given by the old lady, the marquis' wife and the eldest daughter this time, the total amount is almost several hundred taels.

other.

Things like purses, bracelets, handkerchiefs, etc. were all given to me by the sisters who were on the mission with me.

In addition, Mi Qiqi made her own clothes, shoes and socks for all four seasons!

It was completely filled up, a big box.

This was the first time she tried her best to organize it. Anything that couldn't be squeezed in was given away.

otherwise.

There were several boxes and crates of clothes alone, and it would be inappropriate to carry them out of the house like this, so they could only be stuffed into one box.

Mi Qiqi calculated in her mind.

These rewards, plus the two hundred taels of silver notes awarded by the Marquis, would amount to at least a thousand taels.

Judging from the current prices in Dajingchao.

If converted into modern currency, one tael of silver is about three hundred yuan, which is about three hundred thousand yuan, right?

No wonder the old saying goes: It is better to marry a maid from a wealthy family!

A second-class maid could accumulate a fortune of nearly a thousand taels.

Mi Qiqi also got an extra house.

After ten years of work, she owns a house of 100 square meters. Why does it feel like she is doing better than modern working people?

In Mi Qiqi's memory, she stayed in Kyoto after graduating from university in her previous life.

More than ten years of hard work.

I can't even afford a house of ten square meters.

Ugh!

It’s better to travel through time, you can also cultivate immortality!

Mi Qiqi put the jewelry box, silver bills and precious herbs back into the box and locked it.

Put clothes for all seasons in the closet.

She placed the set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone she had received from the eldest daughter on the square table.

Before leaving, Mi Qiqi specifically asked the eldest lady for it, and Sun Lin gave her several stacks of the finest rice paper.

In the cold winter, people naturally live and work in the east room, so they just need to light a stove.

Look around the room carefully.

Write down on paper what you need to buy.

Of course, Mi Qiqi was reluctant to use fine rice paper and only used the most ordinary paper to write it down.

She made a simple plan.

After the soul washing ceremony, we still have to buy two servants to look after the house.

If Mi Qiqi wants a stable livelihood, she has to go out and investigate, and maybe she will have to look for thousand-year-old medicinal herbs by herself in the future.

It won’t work if there’s no one watching at home.

Although she is free now, she has become an unemployed vagrant. If she doesn't find something to do, she will probably run out of money.

Although Mi Qiqi had already settled down at this time.

But she has not given up the idea of ​​buying land, as land is real estate.

Unlike modern times, land here can be bought and sold. Whoever buys the land will own it forever, and renting it out is a sure profit.

It would be best if I could buy a shop.

You can rent it out and collect rent, or you can sell special items yourself.

What Mi Qiqi has in her memory is modern knowledge that the ancients did not have, so it should not be difficult for her to make money.

She didn't dare to stand out too much in the Marquis' Mansion before.

Afraid that she wouldn't be able to redeem herself.

There are many ideas that can be implemented now, but we can’t be impatient and have to take it step by step.

Mi Qiqi is preparing to go out in the afternoon.

She packed up, took the fifty taels of silver notes, and kept them close to her body.

He put on a sheepskin coat, a woolen cloak, and went out.

A little further inside Mi Qiqi's house, there is a small path leading to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

The neighbor to the left of her house.

According to Manager Xiao Liu, it was an aide of the Marquis named Lu.

The gate of his house was open and a carriage was parked outside.

A woman and a boy of about twelve or thirteen came out, followed by what should be a servant.

The woman had a gentle appearance and a faint smile on her face.

This should be Mr. Lu’s wife.

Madam Lu saw Mi Qiqi locking the door and greeted her with a smile, "Are you the new Miss Ye who just moved in?"

Apparently, she had heard of the new neighbor.

The staff must be very clear about the major events that took place in the Marquis' Mansion, including the dispute with Duke Anguo.

It was they who came up with the plan.

"Yes, Aunt Lu, if you don't mind, just call me Zhiqiu!"

A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, so we must maintain good relations with him.

"Then I will call you Zhiqiu. This is my son Lu Jiayou!" Madam Lu said, pointing at her son.

We are all neighbors.

There is a big age gap between them, so the distinction between men and women is not that strict.

"Sister Ye!"

"Brother Lu!"

Mi Qiqi felt that it was a bit awkward to address him this way, but it was not appropriate to call him Young Master Lu, as it was too formal.

Madam Lu quickly laughed and said, "Just call him Brother You!"

Mi Qiqi also laughed: "Then I won't be polite. Are Auntie and You'er going out too?"

"I'm not going out. It's Brother You who's going to visit his husband!"

Madam Lu waved her hand and said.

Mi Qiqi exchanged greetings with her and then said goodbye.

There is a long way to go, and there will be plenty of time to chat later.

The people living on this street are basically all dependent on the Marquis' Mansion. It can be said that they know each other well and there are no neighbors who are too difficult to deal with.

Mi Qiqi wanted to buy a carriage first so that it would be more convenient to travel.

The best place to go is to find Xiao Liu, the manager in charge of the carriages. But I think he's a little overzealous, which seems a little strange.

It would be better to go find Zhidong’s brother Changzhu. Mi Qiqi is quite familiar with him!

As an unmarried woman, if she went to the horse market alone, she would most likely be ripped off.

Besides, Mi Qiqi doesn’t know how to pick a horse.

After crossing two streets lined with houses, she arrived at the back corner gate of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
