Zhinu said angrily: "Yunniang dares to use this sentence to fool the aunt, so I will tell the princess that she will fine you half a month's monthly money."

Yunniang, who was originally as frugal as a nun, heard a question that she wanted to deduct monthly money and had a panic on her face. She quickly clapped her palms: "Everyone goes back and sits honestly. If you have any questions about the font, you will come and ask me when my son-in-law leaves."

The female guests looked reluctant. Due to the prestige that Yunniang had accumulated in her usual prestige, she could only sit back with reluctance and look at the books in her hands honestly.

One thing Yunniang likes to do most is to sit on the mahogany desk to count the money. In order to count the money in her hand for longer, whenever the mansion distributes monthly money, she will exchange the money for copper coins.

Yunniang can be said to be the most knowledgeable woman among the female Qingkes. She is also one of the four personal maids around Princess Changping. She is responsible for the female Qingkes in the Qingkes Garden.

The female cleaners usually encounter fonts that they can't understand in the accounts, so they can only ask Yunniang, but she just sat on the mahogany desk to count the money all day long.

Once disturbed, your seemingly docile temper will immediately become irritable.

In order not to let the account book go and ask her, the female cleaners had to ask her for advice. She just asked one word, but it would attract ten words of nagging.

The female guests now met a patient son-in-law, of course they only wanted to ask the son-in-law, and did not want to touch Yunniang's bad intentions.

Li Mian's eyes moved away from the official Qing paper, stopped thinking, and looked up at Yun Niang who was scolding the female guests.

I thought she was a female lay Buddhist who saw through the world. Now she showed her demeanor, while she was smart, she also had prestige.

Li Mian laughed silently. If it weren't for the reminder of Zhinu, she would have been deceived by the shrewd Yunniang in front of her.

Leaving the tedious things about teaching the fonts of female cleaners, hiding in the female cleaners, doing their own things in vain.

However, Li Mian does not think that teaching female Qingke fonts is a tedious thing. It is always pleasing to be gentlemen for a group of female Qingkes with outstanding appearance.

Li Mian waved and signaled Chi Nu to sit behind him with an eight-legged round drum stool, and instructed him: "I am idle too. If you have fonts that you can't understand, you can come and ask at any time."

Yunniang sat back with a smile. When she was sitting on the embroidery pier, she deliberately glanced at Chi Nu, as if she was saying that this was the son-in-law's meaning, and this time she couldn't blame her for being lazy.

Yunniang's mahogany book case was close to the willow pane. Smelling the fragrance from the water lilies, she happily took out a Duanmu Liang brocade box and started counting copper coins again.

In addition to receiving a monthly salary, she also worked in the mansion for the government money and lent the money to maids and servants who were in urgent need of money.

Many of the female guests in Minglun Hall have borrowed money from her.

However, Yunniang is not as unscrupulous as borrowing money. She borrowed a tael of silver and made a profit, and finally forced the common people to sell their children and daughters.

The money that Yunniang lent out of the government office was very low, with only two cents of silver.

She suddenly looked up at her son-in-law, obviously beating her son-in-law, thinking about lent the money to her son-in-law one day.

When Chi Nu saw Yunniang's shrewd eyes, the two of them served the princess since they were young, and instantly understood what she was thinking.

Chi Nu deliberately exposed the Su embroidered purse hanging on his slim waist: "I have saved a lot of money over the years, and I can't spend much money every month to buy candied fruits. All the money I saved is for my son-in-law. Let me see how you can borrow the money to my son-in-law."

After hearing this, Yunniang's eyes glittered instantly and became depressed.

It’s not that I can’t lend money to my son-in-law, but that I can’t say anything.

The monthly money received by the four personal maids was the same, but since the son-in-law came to the mansion, Chi Nu received an additional monthly money for the personal maid.

One person received two monthly payments. Hongqiao didn't care about this, but Yunniang was quite envious.

Zhinu warned Yunniang that it was not enough, and then lay in Li Mian's ear and chattered.

He almost shook Yunniang's bottom to the sky, especially when he said that as long as the money was short of money, the money she hung on her small waist would be used for her son-in-law at any time. He must not borrow money from Yunniang.

Li Mian first heard that Yunniang was doing business with money from the government office, and wrinkled her forehead and had a lot of objections to her.

When he heard that Yinli was only two li, his forehead stretched out, and his eyes looked at Yunniang a little more kind.

She is not borrowing money, she is clearly showing kindness.

Such low silver profits are not so much like borrowing money, but rather helping the maids and servants in the mansion to overcome difficulties.

The maids and servants in the mansion were different from those of the female guests. Most of them were from poor families. When their parents were sick, they needed to spend a lot of money to treat them.

The monthly money in the mansion is already quite rich, and it is still much worse for the money for treating diseases.

At this time, you can only go to the unscrupulous officials and gentry to borrow money, and the profit of the silver is no more than two cents, one or two cents less, and even three or five cents more.

Yunniang only collected two cents of silver and became a living Bodhisattva in the temple in the hearts of the maids and servants.

Li Mian had no intention of borrowing money and wanted to use the money, so he found Hongqiao and said.

I will give you as much as I spend, and I have never hesitated or asked about where the money will go.

Besides, all the money and food in the mansion are under his control now, so there is no need to go to Yunniang to borrow money.

Yunniang noticed Li Mian's kind eyes and suddenly became embarrassed. She could only twist her drooping bun and look at the pond outside the willow pane.

But she felt relieved. Although she didn't know how the son-in-law saw through her thoughts, fortunately, it did not arouse her son-in-law's disgust.

Li Mian closed his eyes and continued to slowly teach the font.

In the next period of time, Li Mian lived a relatively leisurely life in Qingke Garden, and spent one or two hours a day to teach the fonts of the female Qingkes.

At noon, Li Mian took Zhinu and wandered around the banks of the Jinshui River and had lunch.

Since I have something to do, I have been wandering around these days.

Li Mian walked into a study by the Jinshui River. From many books, he selected some words that he could read and recorded them on official green paper.

The study opens to do business and allows scholars to read, but after reading, they often buy one or two books.

It was the first time that the shopkeepers of the study were as shameless as Li Mian, who was just looking at him and not buying him.

The first time I saw him just looking through and not buying, I felt strange and didn't drive him away.

Li Mian came to the study one after another, only looking at it but not buying it, which caused dissatisfaction among the shopkeepers of the study.

But he comes every day.

When the shopkeepers see Li Mian at noon every day, they can't help but stare at his back with a dark face. He feels uncomfortable when he wants to see it, and he retreats with difficulty.
