到腊月二十九日时, 荣国府内外已焕然一新，大门外悬着簇新的官用纱灯，上写着荣国府三个黑油油的大字。角门仪门以及各种院门都用好漆新油过, 及至甬道两侧, 俱上挑起成对的各色宫灯，只等明日除夕通夜明灯高照。
“姑娘, 新钱已得了。”杜云安家里买的那两个婆子十分能干, 如今云安要做外面的事多倚重她们, 杜仲见状便将二人在牙人手里的家人也买下来, 暂且安排在家中做事, 更叫这两人感激涕零。
这回事的正是花婆子，她只有一子，母子两人和汤大婶三口都是别处的难民，花婆子的儿子本是个好小伙儿, 却因路上时给老娘找吃食被野兽伤了左臂，人牙子见卖不出去便成日使唤他做极重的活，被杜仲买下便算是救了他一命。汤大婶的下堂女儿和外孙子也是一样的境地，逃难时她女儿为自保自己划花了脸, 外孙子则是生下来就迟钝呆慢, 十年前母子俩一齐被赶回汤大婶家——在一群走投无路自卖自身的难民里，这娘儿俩也成了人牙子砸手里的货。
花婆子和汤大婶都是能干的利落人，她们做事极卖力, 原本也是为了得几个月钱赏钱好养活家人, 牙行对卖不出价的人极狠，若是这些人没有亲人救济照应，不出个把月就累死饿死了。花婆子两人也没成想遇着了活命的菩萨，才做了半月的事, 还不等她们攒些功劳去求，仲爷就把家里人买下了——只教这些人把一万的忠心都献上了，更加尽全力的做事。
“兑了多少？可是大钱？”云安问。
“兑了二十吊，都是上好的大钱，崭崭新。”花婆子回说，“咱们兑的晚了，涨价了不少，原本十五六两银子就能兑出来的，如今涨到了十八两。”
“也是我们忘了这回事，明年赶早便是。”迎春笑道。
云安就叫把那二十吊制钱都搬到厅里来，足有上百斤重的木箱子被抬进来，梅月赶忙也将丝线笸箩拿进来。
“另有十吊小钱，是钱铺自己挑拣刷洗出来的新钱，倒是没贵了，还是六钱银子兑一吊薄钱。两项加起来统共花了二十四两银。”
花婆子说得明白，计算的也清楚，兑来的那些制钱、薄钱都是簇新的好钱儿。她回禀了事情，就又下去忙碌。
雪鹭往坐地大熏炉里添好了银霜炭，又将熏笼放回去，感叹说：“这个花妈妈真是能干又实诚。”
雪鹤也说：“可不是，她才来的时候还有些畏缩害怕的样子，这才多久，就变得这样出息了。“想那时还有人笑话这两位妈妈粗苯土气没见过世面，可如今她们站出来，比那些体面的管事媳妇也不差，还更诚实肯干。
云安就笑道：“一是她品性好，我们没看错人；二是我本就知道行情，她们心里明白这点，就更不会想要贪墨糊弄我了。”
想了想，云安又道：“若是我全然不懂，只凭信任她们的品性放手叫她们做事，一次二次都还使得。若是一直放任，再无暇的君子都会变了，人都有私欲么。比如前朝末年，听闻宫内膳房里一个鸡蛋从五两银子长到了二十两，所有经手的官员、买办、宫人都分一杯羹，一餐饭上报到内府的银子足有几千两，每年光膳房就用银百万。这等稀奇事现在谁听了不得说荒唐，可那位末帝却二十多年都以为正常，为供应享乐，便不住的压榨百姓，最终民怨四起……”
黛玉思索了一会子，方点头道：“理儿浅显，一通百通，我往常竟没想过。”
迎春也道：“内事外事，自己通了才不惧……”
一语未了，外面传来凤姐的笑声：“哎唷，你们这些有墨水的人说出来的话就是不一样，我竟也要谢谢几位妹妹！”
姊妹三个赶忙站起来：“凤姐姐。”
熙凤一笑：“快坐下。”
重新围着熏笼坐下，梅月捧来一盅热热的姜枣茶给凤姐。绣桔拎上二楼一个大铜壶，身后雪雁雪莺提着个食盒，里面两摞浅口白瓷碗儿，招呼跟着凤姐过来的媳妇子丫头们到后面屋子喝茶暖暖。
