Mulan turned white, her heart began to rise, her lips squirmed several times, and finally asked uncertainly: "Salary? I have to work? Do I have to work? If I don't work, there is no silver?" But isn't that all learned to put on a show to increase her value? Now if she is asked to exchange her work for silver, then she has not become a slave?

"Where is the cousin?" Mulan blurted out what she was thinking.

Mu Song was anxious: "What cousin girl? Why can you learn from your mother's whimsy? If you want to follow your mother to your uncle's house to be a cousin girl, you can go." ”

Go to her uncle's house to be a cousin? Mulan shivered directly, her uncle has been staring at selling her to be a stupid daughter-in-law, okay? Even her mother helped her uncle.

"I can be at home," Mulan pouted unwillingly, "You and Dad can't afford to support me." "Although you can't call slaves for maids at home, you don't have to work, right? Of course, the food at home is definitely not as good as Meizhuang.

Changsheng had already received Zhiruo's instructions, and immediately sighed and said: "As long as your brother and I have a mouthful of food, we will naturally not let you go hungry, but you also know the bottom of the family, and when your mother left, she took a little silver that she finally praised, and even your cousin Hui'er still owes this month's rent." ”

Sure enough, Mulan wilted when she heard this, but she secretly saw her father give her mother a purse that day, but she was afraid that her mother would refuse to leave, and then betray her with her uncle. I didn't dare to say a word.

Changsheng didn't seem to see her face, and continued: "You are also twelve years old, and in the blink of an eye, you will reach the age of kissing, no matter how much your brother and I love you, we won't be able to save much dowry, and your brother will also talk about his daughter-in-law in a few years, isn't it? Also, your mother's bad reputation will definitely have an impact on you, and the eldest girl is looking at your aunt and Hui'er's face, so she let you come to Meizhuang to learn the craft and etiquette, and at the same time let you earn more money and save more dowry." What are you not satisfied with? Who will care about you?"

Mulan faltered. She is not completely ignorant, before the family was defeated by her uncle, her mother often said that she would buy a rich dowry for her in the future, and a woman would have no confidence in her husband's family without a dowry. And since my mother was divorced. The neighbors and the customers who came to Liu's shop did not talk much about her mother. Especially when the Wu family made trouble in the shop that day and asked for compensation and the deed of transfer of the shop pù and yard. Her mother and uncle were crying and begging her father to agree.

She heard it clearly, and everyone said that her mother was a thief and a bad spirit. Her father poured eight lifetimes to marry such a daughter-in-law, and some people even directly said, "This woman's daughter is pitiful, she was almost sold by her mother, and she has to be influenced by her mother for a lifetime, I'm afraid that good men don't want to marry a daughter raised by such a woman, right?", she has been crying for several days for this sentence.

Seeing that Mulan was loose, Zhiruo struck while the iron was hot: "If you don't want to, I naturally won't force it, for one tael of silver a month, I can raise two or three capable maids who sign death deeds." "The monthly silver of the rough maid for a month is generally three or four hundred yuan, this is still in the Yin family in Meizhuang, other people are not so much, if in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, the rough maid can get 200 yuan on time every month, it is good, and the general second-class maid is only four hundred yuan.

Although Mulan didn't know the maid's monthly bank situation, she was still stopped by a tael of silver in Zhiruo's mouth: "One or two silver? Also, at that time, my father wanted to ask a bag master who paid one or two silver a month to help in the shop, but my mother was reluctant, so she only invited two apprentices to help my father, and each person only needed 200 yuan a month. In addition to being busy in the shop, the two apprentices were often called by her mother to do this and that, and they worked nine of the twelve hours a day.

Zhiruo leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip, before saying: "As long as you study and do things according to the arrangement of Mother Gui and Sister-in-law Ajuan, one tael of silver per month is naturally true, if you are smart and capable enough, and the work you do satisfies them, it is not impossible to increase the monthly silver in a few months." She needs a lot of wraps, purses, handkerchiefs or something as New Year's gifts, store opening gifts or something, and she has high requirements for fine handwork, whether it is high-end fabrics or ordinary cotton.

Mulan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she quickly calculated in her careful eyes, isn't it just learning to be a girl, and learning to cook? How difficult is it? She used to learn embroidery with the little girls in the neighborhood for a while, and she learned faster than anyone else, but she was just lazy to do it, thinking that her mother and daughter were still rich and well-fed, so that her father would be obedient.

However, a while ago, her mother complained to her uncle that she knew that it was because her mother was not beautiful and not a good girl that she was disliked by her aunt, and even the eldest girl and cousin Hui'er did not take her as an aunt in their eyes.

Although her mother still doesn't admit it, she knows a little that it is very important whether a woman's female celebrity is good or not. Of course, the more important thing is the silver, and there must be a rich dowry. Like Miss Yin, the dowry is frighteningly large, who are you afraid of? If you say that you will leave, you will be reconciled, and if you say that you don't recognize your grandmother, uncle and aunt, you won't recognize it......

"Okay, I'll stay," Mulan didn't hesitate for too long before gritting her teeth and deciding, "But you have to talk about it, you can't say that I didn't do a good job just because you don't like me, and you can't treat me badly." ”

It's really a child! Zhiruo was secretly amused, but his face was still faint: "Of course, you can see the standard in advance, and you can also see the things made by people who do the same work as you." As for mistreatment, when you feel that you have been mistreated, you can leave at any time.

In addition, I don't like some of your words, deeds and attitudes, but I don't dislike you, otherwise, for the sake of Hui'er and your aunt's face, I won't let you stay in Meizhuang. We have no shortage of maids, cheaper than you, and better than you.

Okay, since you have decided to stay, let's go with Sister-in-law Ajuan, first learn the rules of our Meizhuang for a day, what you can't do, you can't talk nonsense, you have to remember it, otherwise, it is possible to be kicked out suddenly. ”

Mulan looked at Zhiruo in a daze for a long time, and she didn't know if she was frightened, or she was digesting Zhiruo's words in a daze, until she was taken out of a long distance by Ajuan's sister-in-law who was waiting at the door.

When Mulan went out, Changsheng said with a grateful face: "I am already very grateful that the eldest girl can take such trouble to let Mulan stay and study well, where can I let you break the bank?" I will bear the girl's salary, and send it together with the rent to Hui'er every month." "His daughter knows that she has been taught badly by the Lu family, she is lazy and low-eyed, what can she do to earn a tael of silver a month, and she is still eating and drinking in Meizhuang. He doesn't have much hope for Mulan, just learn to be down-to-earth, as for one or two taels of silver a month, it should be left hand to right hand, so that Mulan can save for the future as a dowry.

Zhiruo shook his head and asked with a smile: "Uncle Changsheng, does this not believe me, or does he not have confidence in Sister-in-law Ajuan? Do you believe that I have a way to help Mulan change her character? Do you believe that Sister-in-law Ajuan can teach Mulan well?"

"No, no, of course not," Changsheng waved his hand anxiously, "I'm just worried that Mulan won't be angry, I'm afraid that her temperament has been distorted by the Lu family." "It is said that his daughter Xiao's mother, Mulan has always been the closest to her mother, even if he feels sorry for his daughter, he also knows that his daughter has a lot of bad problems.

Zhiruo reassured: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Mulan is not bad by nature, although she has a lot of bad habits, but she has a strong temperament, and she is also a little smart, plus she is young and has not yet been determined, as long as we use the right method and have enough patience, there is a great chance that we can help her twist her temperament. Uncle Changsheng, since you handed her over to me, don't think about it. ”

Knowing that if he said this, Changsheng couldn't say anything more, so he could only put his deep gratitude in his heart. Mu Song also secretly told himself that the eldest girl was very kind to their family, and he would definitely do his best to repay him if he had the opportunity.

The recent progress of several things is as she thought, dim sum also got a big order, Zhiruo's mood is very good, and when he talks with Uncle Qiang and Mo Forget, he is smiling, which makes Uncle Qiang also happy, and he talks more than usual: "Qiu Yiran got married in the past two days, I heard that he was busy with affairs, and asked his younger brother to pick up his relatives for him, and he only picked up the bride at the dock to get off the boat." Hmph, a dilapidated Hou Mansion, embroidered pillows, what are you busy with? After all, I still look down on the family of merchants. ”

Zhiruo also sneered, Qiu Yiran was arrogant, but it was a pity that this life was ...... Hehe...... I'm afraid it's hard to get my wish. She wanted to see what that Xu Yuanniang's entry into the Hou Mansion could bring to Qiu Yiran and the Qing Yuan Hou Mansion? Of course, there were not many people as stupid as her in her previous life, not to mention Xu Yuanniang's reputation for being shrewd and capable.

Also, there have been a lot of changes in the Qiu family in this world, the old lady is gone early, the truth of Qiu Yiran's life experience has been broken by the old marquis and the Ji family, and Qiu Yanran has been reborn......

What will be the impact of these changes?

After a rough calculation of the time, Zhiruo asked casually: "Qiu Yanran should be able to move around, right?" That was originally a restless master, but now she was reborn with "foreknowledge", and she was afraid that she would bear the brunt of the impact. Well, Qiu Yanran is not stupid, if you want to compare many things in the two lives, she should have already suspected that she would live again.

"She's recovering well," Mo Forget replied, "Now helping her mother Zhang Luo Qiu Yiran's family affairs, since Qiu Yiran's life experience was determined, Old Marquis Qiu and the Ji family have attached great importance to her. It's also strange, she just had a dream to predict the future, and her whole person has changed her personality and is much smarter. (To be continued......)
