"If it is easy to raise, and if it is large, it will be worthless. Scarcity is precious."

"That's the reason, so your third uncle can earn so much money."

The mother and daughter were chatting and having fun in the room. On the other side, Song Sui was furious by Song Ruohu, who was dressed up in great costume. She was furious at home, but she didn't go out as a guest, and she was dressed so jewel-like. She didn't know how frugal it was, and she was hateful or annoying.

Song Ruohu didn't know that Song Sui was angry, so after asking for help, he asked, "Father, the maid sent her daughter a sample dish, only two dishes and one soup, not to mention the amount, the dish was clearly yesterday. Such leftover food was actually used for her daughter. Her daughter was a big girl from the dignified prefect. Father, they deducted their daughter's food, and they bullied her daughter."

Song Sui looked at her with his eyes squinted, with a sneer on his lips, "You three sisters can eat such a dish, why can't you eat it? From now on, your typical dish will be two dishes and one soup. If you don't want to eat it, you will be hungry."

Song Ruohu stared at him in a daze, "Father!"

"Leave a few of your jewelry you like and hand over the rest." Song Sui saw the jewelry full of Song Ruohu, and thought that Song Ruoxi could use jewelry as a silver, and he could also use the excess jewelry of the four concubines and three concubines to take it away. The silver he exchanged for will definitely overcome the difficulties. As long as it is not too luxurious and wasteful in the future, life can still be passed.

"Father!" Song Ruohu widened his eyes in shock.

"Wear old clothes at home, and wear new clothes when you go out." Song Sui was looking at the account of making clothes in each courtyard, and counted that Song Ruohu made a lot of clothes every month, Ji Yun only made two sets in a month, and she made eight sets in a month. So don't you want money?

"What happened to my father?" Song Ruohu was used to being luxurious, so she couldn't accept it by handing over jewelry without wearing new clothes.

"This is not what you should ask, step back." Song Sui said majesticly.

Song Ruohu pouted and returned to the room aggrievedly.

No one dared to disobey the orders of the head of Song Sui's family. The four concubines and three concubines obediently handed over their jewelry. Of course, some of them were still complaining, but they only dared to say it privately and not publicly.

Ji Yun sat firmly in the room, watching the development of the incident, and felt comfortable. After twenty days of illness, she "recovered" and re-sellered, and everything was done according to Song Sui's newly set rules.

Song Ruohu lived a life of a vicious mother taking care of her concubine's daughter. Not to mention bird's nest and shark fin, the dishes she sent every day could not even see any oil and fishy food. It was said that one meat and one vegetable, but the meat dishes were a little meaty. The rice was no longer fine red rice, but brown rice that was so thick that it was hard to swallow. The tea I drank was made of tea residue. Fortunately, I could still wear the previous dress, so I didn't have to wear coarse linen.

Ji Yun is well-off and is not the kind of person who is vicious. As long as she doesn't touch her scales, she will not treat people casually. Except for Song Sui's life, Aunt Liu and Song Ruohu's life is more difficult, while other people's Aunt Liu and Miss, as well as their servants' life are relatively comfortable.

No one knows these things, and he dares not tell Song Sui. After this, the honest and honest Aunt Zou became even more honest. The somewhat careful Aunt Xu and Mei, who were temporarily calmed down, and the Song family showed a peaceful and peaceful scene.

At the end of the year, the girls from all the prefectures were leisurely. They sent a post to invite the Song sisters to visit the prefecture. They pushed the Song family six times ten times, and the remaining four times Song Sui only asked Song Ruoxi to go there. The three concubines had no new clothes and no jewelry to wear. They were not allowed to go out and were not allowed to go out. The reason for refusing was simple, and they learned the rules from Madam Yan.

Early that morning, a middle-aged woman came to her door to deliver a horse, saying that it was bought by the second girl from the Song family. Ji Yun felt strange and asked Song Ruoxi: "Xi'er, what are you doing for buying a horse?"

"Mom, it's easy to be frightened if there is no good tamed horse. Last time, I saw someone's horse being frightened. The horse dragged the carriage and threw the man out of the carriage and broke his leg. So, I asked someone to buy such good tamed horses, which is not easy to be frightened. Mom, when we go out in the future, we will use this horse so that we don't worry about something going on." Song Ruoxi lied.

"My son has thought it through very carefully. How much money did this horse cost? I'll pay."

"Mom, I can pay for this little money, so I don't have to pay for it." Song Ruoxi didn't know how much money he wanted, so he had to continue lying.

"I almost forgot that my baby daughter can use it as jewelry for silver." Ji Yun deliberately teased her.

"Mom, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to the horse shed to see the horses." Song Ruoxi happily took Xiangxiu Mint to the horse shed.

It was a tall snow-trapping horse. Although Song Ruoxi didn't know about horses, this horse was obviously a good breed. Will using such a good horse to pull a cart be too useless?

"Hello!" Song Ruoxi stood far away and greeted the horse.

Xiang Xiu pursed her lips and held back her smile, but the girl still had such a childish temperament.

He stepped on the snow horse and raised his head.

"Can you understand what I say, right?" Song Ruoxi took two steps forward.

The horse raised his head again and made a low neigh.

"Don't be angry, I won't hurt you. I am your master now." Song Ruoxi stopped and said timidly.

The horse did not move and did not yell.

"What's your name?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"Girl, even if it has a name, it will not answer you." Xiang Xiu smiled.

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly, "I don't know your previous name. I'll change your name, okay?"

Ma nodded, as if he agreed to Song Ruoxi to change his name.

Song Ruoxi happily walked forward two more steps, "Is it okay if you call Xuetu?"

The horse nodded again.

Song Ruoxi felt that the horse was very spiritual and should not hurt her. She asked carefully: "Snowhoe, can I get close to you?"

The horse looked at her.

Song Ruoxi took two more steps tentatively, but the horse did not make a warning to her. Song Ruoxi walked to it happily, tiptoed to touch its back, "Snow hooves, you are so tall. Unfortunately, I can't ride a horse, otherwise, I will be very majestic when riding on you."

Xuexiao lowered her head and rubbed Song Ruoxi's face, as if she was acting coquettishly towards her. Song Ruoxi hugged the horse's head and smiled like a flower. She liked this gentle horse very much. She played with the horse for a while and asked the horse's young servant to feed the snow hooves the best horse material.

"Don't worry, girl, the younger one must take good care of Xuesu." The young man responded quickly.

"Snow Hoof, I'll see you tomorrow." Song Ruoxi waved his hand and returned to the room with Xiangxiu Mint.

On the evening of October 25, the "nephew" of the silkworm girl asked someone to send her something.

Looking at the twelve folding fans painted with December flowers in the brocade box, Song Ruoxi twitched. It was already winter, okay? The weather was very cold, okay? She was not those artful scholars, so she needed to shake the folding fans and pretend.

"Girl, these fans can be kept for next summer." The silkworm tried hard to help Lu Fengyan save face.

Song Ruoxi glanced at her, took out a green slave from the box, and said with a stern face: "Give this to him, let him keep it for next summer."

The silkworm could no longer hold it back and covered her mouth and laughed.

Song Ruoxi sighed depressedly. Lu Fengyan would not even give him a gift.

As winter began, the weather gradually became colder. The sunlight was not warm at all through the thick clouds. Except for Aunt Liu and Song Ruohu's rooms, charcoal furnaces were burned everywhere. When Song Ruohu suffered this kind of pain, it was frozen for two days, but he couldn't stand it. When he rushed to the gate of the courtyard, he found that the gate of the courtyard was locked from outside. He slapped the door and shouted: "Let me out, I want to see my father."

"Grand girl, you are confined. If you don't have a wife, I will not dare to let you out." Two stout women walked out from behind her and said with a blank expression.

"It's cold and the earth is frozen. I have burned the stove in previous years. Why don't I burn the charcoal to keep warm today?" Song Ruohu asked sternly.

"Girl, you will also say that the past years are different from the past." The woman on the left said coldly.

"The eldest girl was originally a wife who was merciful. Although she was a illegitimate girl, she was also a girl after all. Some people don't appreciate it. Since she doesn't appreciate it, why should the wife raise a ungrateful wolf?" the woman on the right said sarcastically.

"You, you..." Song Ruohu's eyes turned black and collapsed.

The woman on the right reached out to her breath and said, "I can't die."

The two mothers raised Song Ruohu, dragged her into the room, and threw her on the bed. Chunyan carried two quilts to cover her, and smiled and walked out with the two mothers, and went to the side room to keep the fire warm. His wife did not treat them harshly.

In another yard, Aunt Liu hugged on the bed with a quilt in her arms and shivered. She didn't understand why Ji Yun suddenly treated her concubine harshly? Song Sui didn't care. What happened in the mansion? Where did the maids and mothers in her room have been replaced? When did she still have to be confined? How long does this dish like leftovers of tea and rice?

No one will answer these questions from Aunt Liu, she can only think hard in the cold.

On that day, it rained heavily. Ji Yun sent a maid to tell Song Ruoxi that she didn't have to come and pay her respects. After getting up in the morning, Song Ruoxi used some porridge and tilted the book on the couch outside to read it.

Xiangxiu and a few sat on the small scepter next to him, embroidering embroidery, burying the lucid, and burying the soles of the soles of the shoe, and the room was quiet.

"Ah!" Liu Siniang's scream came from outside the house.

Song Ruoxi frowned slightly, "Xiangxiu, go and see what happened."

Xiang Xiu put down the soles of her shoes on her hand and was about to get up and go out when Liu Siniang rushed in with a bowl, "Girl, you have to make the decision for the wet nurse!"

"Wuhan, what happened?" Song Ruoxi sat upright and asked with concern.

"Girl, look at this bowl." Liu Siniang handed the bowl in her hand to Song Ruoxi.

When Song Ruoxi saw three black things, like rat feces, he felt disgusted and turned his head away, saying, "Xiangduo go call Zhou Xian's house over."

When Zhou Xian’s family heard Song Ruoxi shouting, he rushed over and said, “I wonder what happened to the second girl calling me to come?”

Song Ruoxi asked Liu Siniang to show her the bowl, "Mom Zhou, this is the bowl of porridge that the wet nurse just drank. After drinking it, she sent out the dirty things inside."

"Please rest assured, Miss Second, I will definitely find out this matter." Zhou Xian's family was full of fire. These people in the kitchen were dying. Who would be neglected? I will start to neglect the second girl. Investigate, this matter must be investigated.

Zhou Xian's family had a very detective mind. He picked up one of the feces and pinched them open, which was dry inside, which means that the thing was not long after it was put in.

"It seems that someone in my yard is restless." Song Ruoxi smiled coldly.

Xiangxiu and Xiangduo gathered all the people in the yard, and Jianniang and Liu Siniang stood behind Song Ruoxi. Song Ruoxi glanced at everyone, "I'm still saying that I'm frank and lenient, resist calm. It's best to take the initiative to recognize this matter. If I find it out, then it's not just that the arms of the silk girl were removed, but I'll let Jianniang remove the person's limbs."

The people in the room looked at each other, but no one came out to confess their guilt.

"It was the fragrance pattern thrown away." A strange voice sounded. Song Huai was afraid that Song Ruoxi would be bored at home, so he gave the parrot to Song Ruoxi, and it screamed happily on the shelf.

Xiangwen's face turned pale and she knelt down, "Girl!"

It turned out that Xiangwen saw that Xiangduo was trusted by Song Ruoxi, but even the mint green lotus was more popular in front of Song Ruoxi. She thought that this was all caused by Liu Siniang. The more she thought about it, she became more angry, so she threw the four or five rat feces found from the corner into Liu Siniang's porridge bowl.

When the fragrance pattern was thrown away, I saw that there was no one around, and there was only one parrot. I thought it would not be discovered, but I didn't expect that the parrot would be screamed and broken.

"I don't want this kind of bad-hearted evil spirit in my yard. Mother Zhou took her away. I don't want to see her again." Song Ruoxi said in a deep voice.

Zhou Xian's family agreed and asked the two maids to drag the person away.

"You all work in the same yard. Whoever uses such despicable means to harm others in the future, don't blame me for being rude." Song Ruoxi said with a stern face.

Everyone was too busy to answer and dared not to exit the room.

In a blink of an eye, it is November 17th, the Winter Solstice Festival.

There is a saying among the people that the winter solstice is as big as the New Year. In previous years, Ji Yun would definitely have a grand ceremony. There is no need to do this year. Let’s spend the Winter Solstice Festival frugally! Aunt Liu and Song Ruohu were unable to attend this family dinner, so Ji Yun made up his mind to let the two of them silently in this mansion.

There are no chicken, duck and fish on the table, including vegetables, sweet potato and chestnuts, winter solstice balls with flour and sugar, nuts, winter solstice meat with pork elbow sauce, and a large bowl of vegetarian dumplings.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Song Sui looked at the dishes on the table and recalled the past. He felt very uncomfortable. After eating some winter solstice meat and a few vegetarian dumplings, he put his chopsticks on it.

Ji Yun's eyes turned slightly, "Master, let's go back to the room!"
