The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chen frowned slightly, "Why is there only gold and silver? Ah Yuan, I remember there were several pairs of jade bracelets in the wooden box. Pick out two with good water content and let this girl take them."

Su He lowered his head and said nothing, his heart full of drama.

The villain in Su He's heart roared, "I just like these vulgar things! I like gold and silver the most! I don't want jade bracelets!"

It was a pity that it was useless. Since Chen said she wanted to give the jade bracelet, no one could refuse.

Mother Zhang brought in a wooden box, opened it and placed it in front of Chen.

"Here, this red one and this green one, the water color is nice, give them to her."

Chen took a quick look and pointed at two at random.

Mother Zhang took out two jade bracelets from the box and handed them to Hehua, "Keep them carefully. These two bracelets are worth a hundred taels of silver."

What?

Just these two for one hundred taels?!

Su He subconsciously wanted to ask if it could be exchanged for silver. She only wanted eighty taels.

Fortunately, she held back. She knew that the old lady had been rich since childhood and looked down upon gold and silver. She couldn't let people hate her, and she had to flatter her for a long time.

Forget it, I won’t say anything more.

Fortunately, Mother Zhang also came from the lower class and had spent a few days with Su He, so she knew what she needed. She picked out a gold bracelet from another box, specifically the heaviest one, without even looking at the style.

Su He was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. After all, Mother Zhang understood her.

Finally, there were two ingots of silver, weighing five taels each.

"The next time will be five days later. The little girl just told me that your cousin is still learning how to drive a carriage. Why don't you go to the side room and wait there first?"

As soon as Su He heard this, she knew that Zhang's mother wanted her to leave. "If you don't mind, I want to go see my old sisters. It's lunch time now, so I'll go to the kitchen to order something to eat."

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Go ahead. I'll ask the little girl to bring you food later. Don't go hungry."

Su He agreed, said goodbye to Chen, put on his clothes and went out.

When I go out, I put everything I earn into my space.

This time she went straight to the small kitchen where she used to eat. It was dinner time, and when Lotus went in, she saw Chrysanthemum, Orchid, and two unfamiliar girls.

"Lotus, I guessed you would come today!"

The orchid has sharp eyes and is the first to see the lotus.

"Lotus, did you just come from the old lady? Have you eaten yet?"

Chrysanthemum was more stable after all, and didn't jump over like Orchid did. She just stood up and smiled and greeted.

"No, I just finished my work, and Mother Zhang asked me to come here to get a meal."

Su He greeted the two people with a smile.

"Lotus, these are the new sisters who came into our laundry room, Meihua and Qiao'er."

The plum blossom was more lively, raised its smiling face and greeted, "Lotus, I've heard of you a long time ago. I am the plum blossom."

"I'm Qiao'er."

Qiao'er seemed very shy. After the introduction, she lowered her head to eat and didn't say another word.

Su He nodded politely, "He Hua, you're late, the food is gone. I still have a steamed bun here, do you want some?"

Chrysanthemum picked up her steamed bun and asked Lotus, and Lanhua also said that she had half of the rice porridge to share with Suhe.

"It's okay, you guys eat. Mother Zhang said someone will bring me food later."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone came in. The person came in. Su He was familiar with her. It should be said that Su He was familiar with her in her previous life. She was Du Juan, a third-class maid in Cijingyuan.

Dujuan came in with a lunch box, smiling.

"You must be Lotus, right? Mother Zhang asked me to bring you food. It's late today, so there are only three dishes and one soup. Please don't be disgusted."

Dujuan lived in the old lady's courtyard, so she was naturally well-informed. She knew that this was a famous person, so she spoke to him in a flattering manner.

But she didn't know that she was destined to fail from the very beginning. Su He still had doubts about He Hua's death. He Hua was of course innocent, so Du Juan, who took over shifts with He Hua, was very problematic.

"Thank you very much."

Su He's face showed no signs of like or dislike, and he just forced a smile to deal with it.

Dujuan exchanged a few words and left.

Juhua and the others came over to watch after Dujuan left. They, the rough servants, always felt insecure when facing the senior servants in the old lady's courtyard.

"Lotus, check what dishes we have, there must be meat."

Lanhua has always been enthusiastic about eating and she is already drooling.

Su He cooperated and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, Lanhua was right.

The first layer was a plate of braised pork and an old hen. The second layer was four meat buns, a portion of white rice, and a portion of small green vegetables.

The fourth layer is winter melon and minced meat soup.

Mother Zhang is so generous!

Lanhua and the other three were stunned. They knew there was meat, but they didn't expect it was all meat.

"Let's eat together. I can't finish all this by myself."

Su He picked up two pieces of braised pork and ate them with white rice. Although she was not averse to steamed buns, as a southerner, she still had a natural liking for white rice.

"Eat it quickly, or it will get cold. There is so much meat here, just consider it as a gift to the Buddha today. Lanhua, don't you like meat? Here, this braised pork is delicious. If you don't eat it, I won't be able to finish it and it will be wasted."

Su He took the initiative to use the serving chopsticks to put the meat into the orchid bowl, and the others lowered their heads to eat in embarrassment.

Su He had a bowl of white rice with braised pork and vegetables, and a bowl of soup, and he was full.

No one ate the remaining old hen. They were reluctant to eat it, especially Meihua and Qiaoer. They just took two pieces of braised pork and refused to eat. Su He didn't force them.

After the five of them finished eating, Meihua and Qiao'er left first. Juhua and Lanhua stayed in the kitchen to keep Hehua company.

Seeing that everyone had left, Su He went forward and took two meat buns to share with Juhua and Lanhua. She planned to take the remaining old hen and two meat buns back.

"Eat it quickly, or the meat bun will get cold."

Orchid smiled and took a big bite, and Chrysanthemum also lowered her head to eat.

"Lotus, you may not know that the second young lady fell into the river the day before yesterday. I heard that because it was so remote, the second young lady stayed in the water for a long time before being found."

Lanhua saw that there were only three of them in the kitchen, and she started gossiping in secret as she did before.

"The water wasn't deep, but the second young lady's clothes got soaked and she couldn't reach the shore. In the end, two sturdy women passed by and pulled her out. She fainted when they rescued her. I heard that the second lady didn't sleep all night and stayed by the eldest young lady's bed. The second young lady only woke up yesterday afternoon."

Juhua also came over to add her words.

Su He sighed in her heart that the fate of this second young lady was still as bad as before. This time, He Hua didn't rescue her in time, so she would probably remain ill.

"How could the second young lady fall into the river alone? Didn't the maidservant follow her?"

"I heard that the second young lady read in a book that the river would freeze in winter, and wanted to go and see it for herself, but was afraid that the maids around her would stop her, so she found a way to get the maids away and ran there herself. As a result, the ice in our garden pond was too thin, and the second young lady fell in."

Su He didn't know what to say. This was just asking for death.

"Fortunately, the pond in the garden is not deep. If it was the river outside, there would be no sound if you fell in."

After Su He finished talking about Chrysanthemum and Orchid, she shuddered involuntarily. She couldn't think about it too much, as it was too scary to think about it.
