Luo Xiangqin regretted that she drank such expensive fruit wine at home without knowing it.
"Grandma, Tangtang has some fruit wine. You can see it when you get home in the evening!" Tangtang said cutely.
"Are there really three altars?"
"Yes," Tangtang's words were like a reassurance, making Luo Xiangqin rush towards the ox cart immediately.
After returning home, Chen Ya immediately put two handfuls of fine rice into the pot and cooked a bowl of thick porridge for Tangtang to drink.
While eating, Luo Xiangqin kept looking at Tangtang.
But Tangtang never mentioned the fruit wine.
Luo Xiangqin had no choice but to lower her head and drink the porridge.
That night, Tangtang entered the room and when no one was around, she took out three jars of fruit wine and placed them under the bed.
At this time, she called out in a cute voice: "Grandma, I want to wash my feet!"
Luo Xiangqin immediately heard a secret signal and was extremely surprised: "Hey, it's coming!"
I immediately heard Luo Xiangqin quickly go to the kitchen to scoop up a bucket of hot water, add a little cold water, and then carry the small wooden basin into the third brother's room.
"Tangtang, is it ready?"
"Grandma, take a look under the bed!" Tangtang looked so cute sitting on the small wooden stool, waiting for her feet to be washed.
Luo Xiangqin immediately put the water down, walked under the bed, squatted down and carefully lifted the sheets.
Immediately, three jars of fruit wine caught my eye.
"There really are three jars of fruit wine!" Luo Xiangqin was very excited.
"Three jars of fruit wine, one jar for fifteen taels of silver, that's all!"
"Forty-five taels of silver!" Tangtang's baby voice rang out again.
Luo Xiangqin calculated carefully, but simply couldn't figure it out, so she planned to ask Old Man Ning later.
"Hurry, my dear sugar, wash your feet."
After a while, Tangtang was soaking her little feet. Although her little feet were not even half the size of an adult's palm, she did not walk much today, but it was her first time to go on a long journey.
It needs a good wash.
At night, Mrs. Ning and Luo Xiangqin said to Old Man Ning in their room, "Old man, let me tell you something. Tangtang has three jars of fruit wine that she's going to sell to the Yu family in Shuihe Town tomorrow morning. Each jar is fifteen taels of silver! How much will they charge for these three jars?"
"Three jars, three jars worth forty-five taels!"
Old Man Ning trembled his lips. "Is that the fruit wine we drank last time?"
"That's right!" Luo Xiangqin's face was full of worry.
"Oh, we actually drank away fifteen taels of silver in vain?" Old man Ning was no longer calm.
"Who says it's not true? I was also heartbroken for a long time today!"
"Oh my, what a wasteful thing!"
"Let's stop now. There's no cure for regret. We've already tasted this fifteen ounces of fruit wine!"
Luo Xiangqin immediately sighed.
"This is the only way." Old man Ning couldn't sleep that night. He stayed at home all night listening to the noise outside.
I was afraid that someone would come and steal my fruit wine.
"Old man, why haven't you slept yet?"
After turning over, Luo Xiangqin saw that Old Man Ning had his eyes open.
"This rooster just crowed once, and I haven't slept a wink all night."
"Why is that?"
"I'm afraid someone will steal the wine."
"Haha, this old man is really worried sick. No one knows about this fruit wine, so who would come to steal it? Go to sleep."
After saying this, Old Man Ning couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At the hour of Mao, the Ning family had already started cooking under the stove. In a small pot, there was rice porridge being cooked, specially for Tangtang to drink.
In the other pot is the brown rice soup for the whole family.
The whole family was busy chopping wood, drawing water, washing clothes and cooking.
A carriage arrived from outside: "Is this the home of Mr. Ning?"
A handsome man who looked like Xiao Si came forward to ask questions.
Luo Xiangqin had been waiting for a long time, so she stepped forward and said, "That's right, that's right! Please come in and talk."
"I'm Xiao Si from the Yu Mansion. Yesterday, Steward Cui ordered three jars of fruit wine from you. Do you have them now?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Go and move it out now." Luo Xiangqin immediately called out, "San'er, quickly move the fruit wine out from your place."
Ning Lao San was stunned. "Fruit wine? Didn't we drink it all? Is there any more?"
"What are you talking about? Go move it inside!"
Luo Xiangqin glared at Ning Laosan, and Ning Lenian immediately put down the water bucket, rushed into the house and came under the bed.
Sure enough, there were three jars of fruit wine there.
Ning Lenian excitedly picked up a jar and walked out.
"Mom, this jar of fruit wine weighs five kilograms, and three jars weigh fifteen kilograms!"
"Be careful!" Luo Xiangqin was very happy.
Ning Lenian ran three times and loaded all the fruit wine into the carriage.
Then Xiao Si opened a bottle of fruit wine and smelled the fragrance. After confirming that it was correct, he took out his wallet.
"This is silver, I hope you will accept it."
"Thank you very much." Luo Xiangqin immediately put the purse in her hand.
It felt heavy when he held it in his hand, which showed that the Yu family had given enough money.
Xiao Si drove away in the carriage.
"Mom, how much silver is this?" Hai Moying immediately ran over excitedly and asked.
"Go! Go away! This is the family's source of livelihood. Don't steal money anymore!" Luo Xiangqin felt inexplicably annoyed with her second daughter-in-law and glared at her.
Liu Lanqing's hands trembled as she embroidered.
Judging from the size of the purse, it was not difficult for her to guess that there was quite a bit of silver in it.
"Grandma, this silver belongs to Tangtang!" A little voice came out of Tangtang's mouth.
Suddenly everyone stared at her: "Then let me ask you, how do you want to spend it?"
Luo Xiangqin also knew that although Tangtang was small, she handled things in a very methodical manner and was not at all like a confused little kid.
He is like a little adult, with his own ideas.
"I want to make a set of clothes for my brothers first."
At this time, the five brothers stared at their tiny sister in surprise.
"Sister, brother is not cold, none of us are cold."
Ning Zilin and the other five brothers were so anxious that they said they weren't cold, but when they saw their clothes, they knew they were lying. Tangtang said distressedly, "Their hands are red from the cold, their toes are exposed in their straw sandals, and the quilts they cover themselves with at night are all very thin."
Luo Xiangqin's eyes immediately filled with tears, Chen Ya also burst into tears, and Hai Moying's face also tightened.
Liu Lanqing finally put down the embroidered handkerchief. Sometimes she thought that the family was too crowded living together. She never even looked at the clothes and quilts of the five boys. She also forgot to care about her own brother.
In order to let Liu Lanqing and Tangtang have a quilt to cover themselves, Ning Lenian gave his and Ye Ge'er's quilt to Liu Lanqing, while he and Ning Ziye used a very torn quilt with holes all over it.
Ningzi couldn't help crying immediately: "Wow! Woohoo~ Wow wow wow! My sister really loves us so much!" Ningzi cried loudly, which made all the Ning family members couldn't help laughing while crying.
"Brother Ye, are you happy or sad?" Luo Xiangqin wiped her tears and squatted down to talk to Ning Ziye.
