Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 312 Too Contrasting

After finalizing a Zhu Erniang who was still crying, seeing that the other girls looked pitiful, Zhu Yuan waved his hand and let them all stay.

can afford it.

The others are probably pretty smart.The clever result was that when Zhu Yuan spoke, they all burst into tears, maybe because he felt that he was not grateful enough not to cry, until Zhu Yuan, who was rubbing his temples, said that whoever cried again should be driven out immediately, and he stopped crying immediately.

What a headache.

Now that the matter is settled, Zhu Yuan also believes that if Zhao Xu can find and send it to him, it must be very good.

Still, take a look.

I looked at the five girls, big and small, and ordered the people around me to come over with bows and arrows, while pointing to Erniang Zhu, who was the tallest but the least imposing: "Take her down and change into a denim outfit, um... a leather jacket on the upper body, denim on the lower body, and a pair of shoes on the feet." Boots. And hair, too, in a ponytail...high ponytail, that's it, go."

What cowboys, what leather boots, what ponytails?
Zhu Erniang seemed to understand but didn't understand, and was taken down by the mulberry picker under the command of Xieyi to the pavilion on the top of the rockery.

Didn't go to other courtyards, it happened that Loulan was waiting in the corridor with her attendant Lihua, after asking a few words, she went directly to her room, and graciously helped Zhang Luo.

Soon, changing out of old clothes and putting on new ones, Zhu Erniang seemed to be a different person.

This made Zhu Erniang, who was involved, a little panicked.

There are women all around her, from inside to outside... Changing clothes is just a change of clothes, but... all over her body... Even, from inside to outside, she has never seen these clothes before.

Probably...all...too tight.

The black leather jacket on the upper body, inside, um, inside, that thing... two pieces like that.

And pants.

in……

Besides, the boots that reach to the knee feel very inflexible.

Don't you want a female martial artist?
How can such a dress be displayed?
After changing her clothes, she was forced to sit in front of the dressing table in a dizzy state. Zhu Erniang looked at a silver mirror with fine details in front of her, and the strange yet familiar woman in the silver mirror. She was still apprehensive in her amazement. .

What kind of mirror is this?

How could it be so?

I really want to reach out and touch it, but unfortunately, I dare not.

Letting the girls behind loosen their hair, silently observing the woman in the mirror, her eyes were a little red from crying.Moreover, compared to the delicate girls behind her, she... is obviously much worse.

So I felt inferior again.

Caisang untied Zhu Erniang's hair according to her lord's instructions, while continuing to find something to say casually: "My sister's hair... has grown a bit."

Zhu Erniang didn't have any opinions, and after hearing the words, she confirmed that she was talking to herself, and then hurriedly said: "If... If it grows, just cut some."

"That can't be done," Cai Sang said, "My lord wants a ponytail. Since it's a ponytail, of course it should be long."

Zhu Erniang didn't understand again.

But ponytail... horse... himself...

Ok.

Such an adult, what about the little prince, whatever...is what.

Although Lou Lan didn't know what happened on the rockery, she could see Zhu Erniang looking at a loss right now. At this time, she used a jade comb to help Zhu Erniang comb her hair, and said at the same time: "My sister's hair is also good, but look at it. It can be concluded that he is a diligent person on weekdays."

Loulan was not stingy with such a small compliment that was spoken by the way, and he made a small favor, which might be used at any time.

Zhu Erniang nodded again when she heard the words.

This girl feels good.

Moreover, I actually want to say a few words, how to take care of my hair every day, but...Looking at the people behind me in the mirror, I realized again, how can I say something about myself?
Lou Lan praised softly, and Cai Sang also said: "You still have fragrance on your body. My lord likes women with fragrance on their body."

With this sentence, Zhu Erniang's face immediately turned red, and she changed her mind a little before she said, "Before you come...well...washed..."

I feel wrong after saying that.

Why do you say this?
When Cai Sang and Lou Lan heard the words, they both showed a slightly teasing smile.Seeing the woman's shy look, Lou Lan said: "After entering the house, my sister will wash more in the future..." Then she pointed to the west: "...there is our bathroom, which the adults drew and remodeled themselves, can you wash it?" It’s comfortable to brew and soak.”

Cai Sang also nodded: "The big pond inside is really lovely."

Seeing Erniang Zhu's serious listening, Lou Lan suddenly added another one, with a deliberate tone: "Sister, go to take a bath, be prepared, adults may also go in..."

Zhu Erniang, who had just recovered, immediately turned rosy again, and she avoided her gaze in the mirror. After a while, she said in an inaudible way: "My lord...you can naturally enter."

Both girls were taken aback.

Ok.

Of course adults can enter.

However, what is disappointing is that the words just now are just Loulan's little fantasies on weekdays, but in fact...my lord has never done this before.

Caisang naturally knew that his lord had never done this before, if he wanted it, he could call it to his side, there was no need for it.Moreover, because I can see my own adults every day, and I have served the adults to take a bath, Caisang didn't have the fantasies of Loulan in the past.

However, hearing what Loulan said right now, and thinking about it again, um...it feels weird.

There is still a little expectation.

Cai Sang thought about it, and Lou Lan said again from the side: "My sister just came, and it's good to be able to think about adults like this."

Zhu Erniang, who was still blushing, could only nod again.

I still feel inferior in my heart.

This kind of me... how dare I always think about such an adult?

Talking like this, the two girls combed Zhu Erniang's hair, tied it up with a red string, and followed their adults' instructions, a high ponytail was quickly completed.

Then, look at the woman in the mirror together.

Not bad.

It stands to reason that the two girls can also paint Zhu Erniang's eyebrows and lips. The girls are already good-looking, so if they decorate, they will definitely become a more beautiful lady.It's just...the adults didn't explain this, and they weren't really kind enough to help other girls to please the adults.

After looking in the mirror, he signaled Zhu Erniang to get up, and the two girls looked at each other again.

Even though I have seen it more than once, the woman in front of me with ponytail and leather jacket and denim still gives people a strange feeling.

do not adapt.

However, this is not something they can judge, as long as adults like it.

After confirming that there is no problem, Cai Sang finally said: "Let's go, sister, although this body is a bit thin, the sun outside is nice, and it's not too cold. Show it to your lord, and you can change it back soon. Your lord is very sympathetic. won't let us freeze."

Zhu Erniang shook her head quickly: "It's not cold, slave... I'm not afraid of the cold."

So go out.

Lou Lan had just been busy with the work, so this time she naturally followed her to the rockery, but left behind Lihua, who didn't have a strong sense of presence.

Come to the top of the rockery.

The pavilion here has been surrounded by cloth curtains, Cai Sang and Lou Lan both know that it must be sister Xieyi who is afraid that her adults will be blown by the wind.

The servant woman opened the outer curtain, and the three of them went in, but there was another layer around the pillars of the small pavilion.

The previous four girls stood outside together with other maids, and there were servants guarding several sets of bows and arrows.Seeing Zhu Erniang in a weird outfit, the girls who came together were both surprised and envious.

Notified here, then go in.

In the small pavilion, there are two layers of curtains, and because of the stove, the temperature seems to be a little higher.

Zhu Erniang only saw a certain young man sitting at the stone table, discussing something with the two women on the left and right, with a few books in front of him, occasionally writing and drawing.There was another soft-tempered woman standing next to the lord. Even though she had no knowledge, Zhu Erniang could still see the woman's obedience to the young man through her subtle movements.

In addition, the tall bearded girl was also there, standing very conspicuously among the maidservants at the side, Zhu Erniang couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Zhu Yuan is discussing with Xieyi and Luoshui the distribution plan of Shangshanju's [-]% bonus, which was explained by Lao Zhu yesterday.These things should have been completed before the year, and everyone will have a good year when they get money.

This year, we have to wait until the next year.

After all, many things have only just been rolled out, and the rules and regulations are not so rigorous, so we can only wait for the follow-up to gradually improve.

As for the 19% of the stock bonus that exceeds [-] taels of silver, Lao Zhu has already set a limit, and the average is only five or six taels of silver per person. Zhu Yuan also heard at the time that someone wanted to say one tael of silver, so he probably reacted , I can't do it too well, so I raised it to five or six taels.

Still, it's definitely average.

The two stewards of Shangshanju, Qiao Wang, who is in charge of daily operations, and Yan Qi, who is in charge of glass making, were promised a share bonus at the beginning, that is, 19% of the 10 taels each, and the rest The 80% of the labor force cannot be divided evenly, and we still have to pay more for more work.

In any case, there must be more direct employees under Shangshanju.In addition, there may be fewer people involved in glass firing from the Yinghai Division and other departments, but it will not be much less. It is basically no problem to get two or three taels of silver, which is already equivalent to two or three for many people. monthly salary.

Discuss with the two women in this way, finalize the general framework, and ask them to perfect the specific details.

After talking about the matter, when Zhu Yuan raised his head, Zhu Erniang had been quietly waiting beside him for more than a quarter of an hour.

Can't help but look at it.

Zhu Erniang has a relatively tall figure in this era, and she is currently wrapped in a slim leather denim jacket and boots, matching her heroic face, giving her a more sassy look.

Seeing the young man looking at her, Zhu Erniang, who was still not used to this weird attire, immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling... her legs were a little soft again.

Immediately reacting, he bent down and saluted the young man: "Good luck, my lord."

Zhu Yuan smiled: "As long as you don't cry, I will be blessed."

Zhu Erniang suddenly became at a loss again.

However, I can feel that the young adult is not angry, so he is not so nervous.

As Zhu Yuan said, he thought of Qing Niang at the side, and turned his head slightly, Qing Niang immediately stepped forward, leaning over and waiting for orders.Raising his hand to lightly touch the woman behind, hearing Qingniang's surprised cry, Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "You two do look alike."

I remember that Qing Niang at the beginning could cry at every turn.

Much better now.

Qingniang blushed and aimed at Zhu Erniang.

Not like it.

Although...but, this...is not as good-looking as me.

Zhu Yuan had already turned back to Zhu Erniang, admiring the woman's dress that traveled through time and space, and motioned: "Turn around and let me have a look."

Zhu Erniang turned around obediently.

Zhu Yuan also nodded.

The ponytail is not bad, although...it's a bit too long, reaching the legs.Zhu Yuan felt that a ponytail of about one foot was the most appropriate, rather than a length close to three feet in front of him.

He had no intention of letting Zhu Erniang cut it off.

After all, ponytails are only occasional. In this day and age, women still wear their hair in a bun.If the hair is less, it can't be coiled up, so it doesn't look good.

After looking at it, Zhu Yuan ordered: "Bring in the bow and try it out."

Just going to try bow and arrow.

Riding a horse... There is no condition here, I will talk about it later.

Zhu Yuan didn't even intend to watch swordsmanship and martial arts, because he knew a truth in his previous life. Real kung fu is very 'ugly' and doesn't look good, because it's all killing skills. It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not.Speaking of all kinds of good-looking kung fu in later generations, more of them come from opera routines.

Ugly kung fu and handsome style refer to the difference between the front and back.

For example, a well-known Kung Fu star with a big nose was actually from an opera troupe.

Ok.

It's entertaining again.

Soon a servant woman came in with three sets of bows and arrows, three strong bows with different strengths that could be distinguished by the naked eye, and a barrel of feathered arrows.

Seeing that the real chapter was about to be seen, Zhu Erniang became nervous again.

This side is surrounded by curtains, so it's not easy to shoot arrows casually, Zhu Yuan took another step back and motioned: "It's enough to draw a bow, choose it yourself."

Zhu Erniang received clear instructions, nodded slightly, stepped forward, hesitated a little, and took the strongest hard work.

Holding it in her hand for a while, Zhu Erniang glanced at a certain young adult again, and when she was confirmed, she posed, holding the bow in her left hand and pulling the string with her right hand, knowing that this matter would affect her too much in the future, the moment she opened the bow , the woman entered into a state of no distractions, only thinking about pulling the bow as far as possible.

As a result, what people around saw was a tall woman in a strange attire, holding a hard bow, pulling it away little by little, without any intention of stopping, and it seemed that there was no limit.

In a blink of an eye, it was like that full moon.

The full moon has not stopped, it is still going on, until suddenly, the sound of breaking comes.

click-

All the people around watching widened their eyes for a moment.

Quiet!

For everyone, the main reason is that this contrast... is a bit big.

The one who was crying just now, was like the young lady at home, but in the blink of an eye, that strong bow, which was obviously the hardest among the three sets, was pulled apart just like that.

Is this fake?
After all, he also served as the commander of the Mingzhou Guard for a period of time. Zhu Yuan has learned about the current weapons and can see more.

The three bows brought in by the servant girl were six-strength, nine-strength, and twelve-strength according to the standards of this era, and one of them was about nine catties. They were all hard bows for military use in this era.Although it is still not up to the top fifteen-strength strong bow, even if it is the lightest of the three bows, Zhu Yuan tried just now, but he couldn't pull it.

A certain woman picked up a twelve-strength bow, which was already very popular in the army, and not only pulled it away, but even broke a strong bow abruptly.

Is this not playing cards according to common sense again?

Think again before.

Too contrast, too contrast!

While everyone around was surprised, Zhu Erniang was panicked.

This……

Broke a bow?
A good bow might cost a lot of money.

I can't afford it myself.

When Zhu Erniang was about to cry again, Zhu Yuan finally came back to his senses, seeing the startled look of the woman, he smiled and signaled: "It's okay, it's just a bow, come, come here, let me take a look."

Zhu Erniang relaxed, handed the broken bow in her hand to the servant woman, and walked carefully to the young man.

Approaching, Zhu Yuan looked up and down.

Didn't see anything special.

Raising his hand, he wanted to touch Zhu Erniang's arm for any muscles, but unfortunately... he couldn't reach it. Women are not as good as Qingniang, and they won't take the initiative to come over, so they just put it on the side of her thigh that was tight by the jeans. Patted: "It's amazing, is it natural?"

Zhu Erniang was photographed, and she didn't hide, but subconsciously blushed and nodded.

Zhu Yuan turned to the side.

When the sack girl saw that her adults were watching, she immediately stepped forward.

Zhu Yuan grabbed the little girl's hand and squeezed it, and said: "There is someone who is stronger than you, in the future, try to learn from Er Niang, otherwise you will fall out of favor."

The girl nodded slightly.

Not afraid.

Zhongli Watermelon didn't make her fall out of favor, the one in front of her... just has more strength than Qingniang.

Zhu Yuan said, then gestured to Wutong, and said to Zhu Erniang: "Next, you mainly teach them two, um, the other four are also under your control, horse riding, archery and martial arts, all must be taught. know a bit."

Zhu Erniang wanted to nod, but she still whispered sincerely: "My lord, I don't know how to ride a horse."

Martial arts are handed down from family, but not horseback riding.

Can't afford to ride.

"There should be some meetings in those few places," Zhu Yuan said, "Besides, if there are any of them who go out, you should follow them as well, and treat them as guards, understand?"

"I understand."

After Zhu Erniang finished speaking, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't speak again.

Zhu Yuan smiled: "If you have any questions, just ask, you are so powerful, you should be a tigress, don't pretend to be a kitten with me."

"Slave...not pretending," Zhu Erniang hurriedly shook her head, paused, and then whispered: "Slave... my lord, I just want to know... how much... monthly money can I get here?"

Zhu Yuan: "..."

This is not a tigress again.

However, Zhu Yuan could also understand. After thinking about it, he remembered that after returning to Jinling, Xinyi was related to the monthly payment he had renegotiated.

There are four women in the mansion, Xieyi, Liubai, Qingniang, and Luoshui, um, plus a sack, which is the first class, and each of them has a monthly payment of 10 guan.Originally, there would be a Nuan Niang, and a certain woman took the initiative to avoid it, so she was excluded. However, it was also Zhu Yuan who said that she still had to teach, so there was only 5 guan.

Then, the big and small women who came to Zhu Yuan's side one after another, the monthly money is two.

Further down, the general women, servants and maids are consistent.

In the wealthy mansions of this era, regardless of whether it is double or consistent, the treatment is quite high.After all, some big and stingy households treat their servants, not to mention the consistent monthly money, and they don't necessarily care about their food.

What's more, this is just the basic salary.

In the Pingzhang mansion, in addition to the management of food and housing, all kinds of clothing, food, etc. will be distributed throughout the year, or during the New Year’s festival. , is enough to buy a small courtyard in the outskirts of Jinling.

Thinking about this, Zhu Yuan saw that Zhu Erniang was still looking at him anxiously and expectantly, smiled, and said, "Wu Guan, just like Nuan Niang, is it enough?"

Zhu Erniang was a little disappointed at first.

This... 5 times a year is not a lot, but what she was told before was not the case.

However, he immediately realized that what he just asked was monthly money.It is impossible for the young adults in front of them to hear wrongly.

So, one month, five times?
Zhu Erniang felt that her legs were a little weak again, she couldn't believe it, she didn't dare to believe it, and felt that it was not good to ask too many questions about this kind of thing in front of an adult, but she still couldn't hold back: "My lord, is... January, Wuguan?"

Zhu Yuan nodded with a smile: "Yes, five times a month."

verified.

At this moment, Zhu Erniang wanted to say too much, but felt a little dizzy.

It was actually very exhausting to break a twelve-strength strong bow just after a burst of force.

Just endured.

At that moment... In addition to being pleasantly surprised, I suddenly couldn't bear it any longer, so I fell limply and passed out.
