Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 332, ample

Yuanhui and the county magistrate Yongyi had already washed up, and they were sitting on Yanyan's bed in small jackets, untiing ropes, Yanyan and Lvzhu were sitting on the edge of the bed, Yanyan was peeling and drying chestnuts, Lvzhu was guarding the tea, Yongyi's nanny and A girl was sitting on the chair in front of the bed.

The purple jade cake and walnut soup were brought, Yuan Hui opened his mouth wide to Yanyan: "Ahhh," the county magistrate Yongyi learned from his work, and opened his mouth wide to the green bamboo.

Yanyan broke off a piece of cake and sent it to Yuan Hui's mouth, and Lu Zhu fed the county magistrate Yongyi some walnut soup. After a few mouthfuls, the two continued to exchange rope.

Yanyan joked: "Sister Hui, won't you go back tonight? This is the first day of the Lunar New Year."

Yuan Hui's head shook like a rattle drum, and the county magistrate of Yongyi learned from others, and two rattle drum heads appeared on the pink lotus embroidered quilt, answering one after the other.

"Grandfather and father eat wine, elder sister is housekeeper, and no one plays when I go back."

"That's it." The last one doesn't need to be asked, the county magistrate of Yongyi who knows how to do things.

Obviously learning the rattle is tiring. After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth one after the other: "Ahhh," waiting for Yanyan and Luzhu to feed them.

Lu Zhu teased: "Then why don't you eat on Sister Hui's bed in the backyard? Carefully dirty Yanyan's bed here."

Yuan Hui stared round her eyes: "How can you dirty my bed." After saying that, she giggled.

"That's right." This is still the county lord of Yongyi, and he laughed to himself after speaking.

The people in this room laughed loudly, Zaohua lifted the curtain and came in, smelling the liveliness in the warmth: "What are you talking about, let me smile too."

Yuan Hui smiled: "Sister Yanyan said that Yongyi and I ate food and dirty her bed, and I said I will eat on Sister Zaohua's bed later."

County Lord Yongyi still nodded his head in agreement.

Zaohua thought about it, and went out in shock: "I'm still in the kitchen." Yuan Hui felt that the joke was a success, and happily begged for another bite.

Luzhu called to Zaohua: "Have the scholars gone for supper?" Yanyan also looked over with concern.

Zaohua patted his forehead: "The ones that are loose, according to what the bosses said, they will give more meat to eat during the New Year. There was a scholar whose clothes were torn, and there was no one at home to mend them. The guys begged me to do them. I came in to get needles and thread, but was caught Sister Hui's words are forgotten."

He took the needle and thread to the kitchen, He Shishi brought an old jacket, Zaohua caught it in his hand and frowned: "It's very heavy oil, it looks like it hasn't been washed for three years, go ask him, give him your jacket Put it on first, let me sew it up and wash it, and then return it to him?"

"Why can't it work? He's wearing my old jacket now. Although it's warm in the store, what can he do when he takes off this jacket, but there's no longer any jacket on his body? Do as Sister Zaohua said, after unpacking and washing Return it to him, but you can dismantle it tomorrow, since you are not in a hurry to return it to him, doing live work at night will hurt your eyes."

He Shishi thoughtfully answered.

When Zaohua heard about it, she put down the needle, took scissors instead, and opened the padded jacket, saying, "The master is willing to pay for candle lamp oil, and I have a stove in the kitchen. Compared with when I was working at home, one sky and one earth .”

The family she mentioned did not refer to the Qi family being a girl, but her own family.

After finishing speaking, Zaohua was silent when thinking of the contempt the girl received at home.

He Shitou was also silent for a moment. What he was silent about was the current situation and being at home. The reason why he and the other staff chose not to go home was because they had company with Yanyan, and they left during the Chinese New Year or there were fewer people in case the shop needed it. There is a reason for manpower, and there is also a reason for the travel expenses to go home.

When Qi Xunfu returned to Xinji to deal with his and Qi Jun's family property, and brought the two wives and children to Beijing, the guys had reward money and monthly money in their hands, and handed them over to Qi Xunfu to send back to each family. He declared that he would not return during the Chinese New Year.

Seriously speaking, how can reading at home be as bright as candles in a shop?
There is no ground cage fire, and it is common to freeze hands and feet, freeze ink and pens.

He Shitou smiled and said: "Yes, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground. We follow the masters and compare with the scholars who go to the store to study. This is the same thing. Sister Zaohua, don't worry if you take it easy. I think of my old Meng, you and Sister Jiuhua helped me unpack and wash the jacket, and the masters made us new jackets in winter, I asked the scholar if he didn’t dislike the old jacket, and let him wear it without returning it to me.”

Jujube hops are not necessarily older than the guys, but they are in charge of eating and sewing in the shop. The guys call them sisters out of respect.

The guys are all from poor backgrounds, they wash their own clothes, and they quickly wash Qi Xunfu and Qi Jun’s too, now that Qi Xunfu’s wife Qi Jun doesn’t help with the laundry when she comes to Beijing, the mending is always good for the girls, It is mainly responsible for jujube hops.

When Zhang's mother was in good health, she also sewed a few stitches with Yanyan's nanny. After this old mother came to Yanyan's shop, her health was much better than before.

He Shitou thanked him, but mainly jujube hops.

Shops that sell clothing materials will not lack clothes for guys. Generally speaking, it should be like this. Unscrupulous shopkeepers often treat guys as cattle and horses.

Yanyan shop will not do this, from Qi Xunfu to Qijun to the guys, make clothes with fashionable clothes, and make ready-made clothes racks for customers to choose from when buying clothes, Song Xun delivered the last batch of clothes a year ago Come, I have some affordable and cheap fabrics, which are left for Yanyan and the others to wear.

Household clothes don’t need to be so good, just wear this batch of fabrics, like jujube hops wear common clothes when they work, they don’t feel bad when they get dirty, and the guys are also common clothes when they unload their work, and they don’t feel bad when they are worn out.

This batch of cloth materials made some jackets. When they went to the store to receive customers, they put on a piece of new clothing material. After closing the door at night, they took it off and hung it up neatly for tomorrow.

He Shitou thought about how many jackets he had, and the one he gave to the scholar was an old jacket, so why not give it to the scholar, at this moment, pity for the poor scholar in Beijing, as if he felt pity for himself in the past.

He came from a poor background, so he was reluctant to give someone a new jacket to wear. The old jacket was clean and filled with jujube flowers and cotton.

Zao Hua said yes, she is one of the housekeepers in the store, and Hop is the other. She knows that the guys got a lot of clothes after they came to Beijing. Last year, sister-in-law Xiu's family gave the clothes. This year, her own girl made autumn and winter seasons. Clothes, because autumn clothes can be worn in spring, and it will not be too late to make clothes after spring is warm.

Feeling extremely affluent from the bottom of her heart, Zaohua was fascinated, and slowly said: "Give it, and He Xiaoji and the others also talked about giving away old clothes if they should be given away. Hop Hua learned from tailoring and is slowly making Well. The owner said that if the work is really slow, we will hire a tailor when the spring warms up."

"Let's do it for Sister Jiuhua, why hire a tailor and spend money." After He Shitou finished speaking, he went back to the shop to study, and when he planned to leave, he would tell Xiucai to let him wear the jacket directly. I am thankful, and it shocked everyone to study peacefully.

He Shitou sat back in front of his writing, there was a conversation in the kitchen, he subconsciously touched the jacket on his body, it was a small jacket warmed in the store, and then looked at the new cloth shoes on his feet.

Jujube hops are constantly working, and everyone wears new shoes for the New Year.

Hurry up and study hard, He Shitou thought secretly, concentrating on the book.

At the counter, Qi Dong, Qi Xunfu and Qi Jun chatted with Luan Tai. After dinner, Qi Dong chatted with Yanyan in the main room, coaxing Zhang's mother to be happy. Sitting in the shop.

He can't see enough here, he feels that sitting here is refreshing and spiritual.

Not long after Luan Tai sat down, he and Le Wang took turns to inspect the backyard every once in a while, so as not to make any mistakes in the warehouse.Qi Xunfu and Qi Jun were happy to talk long and short with his old boss, his low voice did not affect the guys' reading, sipping a sip of tea and thinking about next year's business, with a relaxed face.

Thinking of Yuan Xiurang leaving early and getting up early tomorrow, Qi Dong reluctantly went to bed.

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the day to pick up my aunts. Yuanxiu had his grandfather and second uncle there, so he took it for granted that his family was Yanyan and Luzhu's natal family, and let them return to Ningning on the second day of the new year.

He also arranged this day to be very free. In previous years, there was no hostess in the Duke Protector's Mansion, so Yun Zhan would either accompany his mother into the palace on the second day of the Lunar New Year, or send his mother into the palace, and then come back to have a drink with the officials and gentlemen who stayed behind in the study chat.

This year Yuanxiu arranges the guests for the prince to drink until tomorrow and after tomorrow, and only entertains Yanyan and Luzhu Hening, and let himself have a good rest.

There are no horses in Yanyan's shop. The horse that went back to Nanyang Marquis Mansion yesterday was hired by He Ning. Early in the morning, Yuanxiu sent a carriage to the shop. Sister Xiu's wet nurse Mama Xu got out of the car and came in: "Happy New Year at Qidong's house, I heard You're here, I'm here to pick you up."
