Mrs. Zheng wants to be able to help immediately, and what Mrs. Chen wants to buy is a full stove, so it is not a stove with complete skills, and she has to be able to work, Shi Gui has not grown tall in the past two years, and he is as thin as a radish head, and he is not a capable worker: "This one is too small." ”

Mrs. Zheng is not very happy, she has to be a girl who burns the stove here, what is the use of being born with white skin and eyes, it only matters if she can work, her eyes turned around on Shi Gui's arm, and she shook her head at Mrs. Chen.

Chen Niangzi looked embarrassed: "It's not nothing, but the price opened by the king steward, you can only buy such a little girl, you also know, there were many people in the last year, and the price was naturally cheap, but there were fewer people this year, and the price was high, this one looks small but is very willing to work." ”

Hearing the three words of the king's steward, Mrs. Zheng was angry and didn't fight anywhere, there were several grievances in it, and the matter of buying people was a new hatred, so she simply swallowed her voice and looked at Shi Gui once, Shi Gui hurriedly stepped forward: "I can steam cakes, cook and burn stoves, raise chickens and feed sheep, and I can do everything in the kitchen." ”

Looking at Mrs. Chen's appearance, I also know that this is a "good place", if it becomes a unsalable goods, Mrs. Chen will no longer be able to support her, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Bai are relatives, and she is just a "business" for her.

Mrs. Zheng took a breath out of her nose, but this fiery head was not aimed at Shi Gui, and when she heard her say that she could feed the chickens, it was also a smart person, and when she entered the door, she saw the shack built in the kitchen yard, so she nodded: "That's it, that's it, I'm younger, but I'm a good look."

Mrs. Chen talked about it again, and asked if the Song family would come this year, and Mrs. Zheng sighed: "Who knows, it's better to come, if you don't come, we can only wait for the mold to be corrupted." mentioned that the Song family didn't have much spirit, and then asked about Chen Niangzi's family affairs: "Which one can be shot?"

This time, it was Mrs. Chen's turn to snort coldly: "The fox spirit with nine tails was born, Kaichun Ferry is so busy, leave her to relieve my family's eldest brother, after the spring planting, I have to be idle, it's time to take care of her." ”

Yinliu still had the idea of marrying into the Chen family, but she only hooked Chen Dalang, who knew that Chen Niangzi was farther than she thought, but she was regarded as a thing to relieve her son's boredom, and the two gossiped for a while, and Mrs. Zheng took Chen Niangzi to the Wang Steward to get money for the deed, and how much it was worth, it was not something that Shi Gui could know.

When Mrs. Chen came back, her face was light, Mrs. Zheng's face was not good-looking, and Shi Gui didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Mrs. Chen would change her mind and leave her in the Song family.

"Come on, just look at your poor and filial piety. Chen Niangzi naturally saw that Shi Gui was uneasy, the price was lower than the original, she didn't make a few pennies, and felt that she was losing, but Shi Gui was originally piggybacked, and she was willing to work at home, and letting go of a horse was a matter of accumulating virtue.

When Shi Gui came, he hugged a small package, and Qiu Niang brought everything she could bring her, but the four walls of the family were still in debt, and they were still pudding and pudding, and even the shoes were too small.

Shi Gui sent Mrs. Chen out, and when she got to the door, Mrs. Chen turned to look at her: "I found a good deal for you, you have to be good in the future, don't smash my signboard." Then he took out a hundred pieces of money: "I wanted to make you a garment, but I couldn't, so I gave it to you." ”

Shi Gui thanked her, but she didn't accept the money, she was really grateful in her heart, Shi and his wife spared five hundred Wen, but she didn't spend money on this boat into the mountain, and she didn't come empty-handed, she also had to buy some snacks, four hundred yuan was too much, but it was not a parent, she could stay here, Chen Niangzi did contribute.

"Sister-in-law, let's drink and eat. As soon as Shi Gui pushed it, Mrs. Chen would have to give it to her, so Shi Gui took it and sent her to the intersection until she was gone.

The yards on both sides were made the same, and the grapes were lazy and did not send her out, but she found it herself, and did not mention it, but followed her: "If my sister has anything to do, just tell me." ”

There is no master in the house, a few people are just looking at the house, the house is locked, idle and panicked, only this yard has to be taken care of, Zheng Pozi instructed Grape to take Shi Gui to the house, rummaged out a dress for her, looked at her hair and shoes, smashed her mouth: "Wait, boil water at night to wash you." ”

Shi Gui slept in a room with grapes, and when she first came to be cautious, she asked her what she did on weekdays, and the grapes took out melon seeds from the basket on the kitchen cabinet and knocked them up: "It's nothing, we have a Wang steward here, a Zheng Pozi, these two are in charge, the remaining six are in charge of flowers and trees, four are in charge of the warehouse, and there are two side doors at the front door, four mothers-in-law at night, plus me and you, a total of twenty-two people." ”

Shi Gui silently wrote it down, and Grape looked at her again: "Don't drill into the yard when it's dark, but no one is looking for you." The doors in the garden are not open, and they can't get in if they want to, their room is behind the kitchen, and the grapes and melon seeds crackle: "There is one more thing, don't provoke the king's steward, his heart and eyes are thinner than the tip of a needle, and he just didn't give you a price, and I can't keep you yet." ”

Shi Gui remembered one by one, thanked her, the covers were all old, she took them out to dry, and then cleaned the house, Grape had already picked up an old cotton coat of hers, and there was pudding on it: "You wear this first, we don't have anything to do on weekdays, you come, I can save more." ”

On the first day Shi Gui stayed in the other garden, she washed her body three times with water, and washed her hair, and the grapes took a fine pick to open her hair and looked at it clean, before she was allowed to enter the house, a room was divided into two sides, there were beds, tents, pillows and quilts, everything was complete, although it was used by others, she had not covered it so neatly over the years.

"It's a shame you don't have lice, or you'll have to twist your hair again. Grape tilted on the bed, spread her hair and lay down: "Godmother wants to burn her feet at night, you go to fetch water." ”

This work turned out to be grapes, and now Shi Gui took over, and she only said that Zheng Pozi was her godmother until this time, so she had the intention to press Shi Gui, Shi Gui looked at all the things in the kitchen for a long time, knew that there was hot water boiling on the stove, and carried the copper kettle to Zheng Pozi's room.

Mrs. Zheng is a room by herself, there are tables and chairs with open windows, her own marinated pig tongue and pig ears, cut a section and was eating wine, saw Shi Gui come in, poured water for her and held the basin, and tried to cool and heat, and waited on the side to bring the water out again, I like her to have eyes, pinched peanuts in her hand, and told her to grab a handful.

As soon as he entered the house, the grapes had not yet slept, and his nose moved before he was about to ask, Shi Gui took out the peanuts, spread out his hand for her to watch, and divided most of her, and the grapes asked with a flat mouth: "What else?"

"There were also some side dishes to accompany the wine. Shi Gui took off his jacket, wrapped the peanuts and put them next to the bed, everything in the house was complete, the bed they slept on now was prepared for the big girl to sleep on, and the tent could be hung, there was a mirror basin next to the bed, and the two of them also used a bath bucket.

Grape was naturally unhappy in his heart, and asked her godmother to ask for another one from the king's steward, these things don't need to be put in the treasury now, Shi Gui felt strange, since even the bath bucket was prepared, how could no one come to live.

Grape rubbed the flower hand in his hand, blew off the peanut coat, and glanced at Shi Gui: "You are lucky, just this person, you have to buy another one for you to come in." "Originally, there weren't so many things in the kitchen, and I bought Shi Gui just to play against Steward Wang.

It turned out that when the house was built here, it was said that the old lady was going to bring the eldest young master to live, and Mrs. Zheng was picked out by the eldest lady, and she came over to sort out the kitchen first.

Mrs. Zheng and Steward Wang were both powerful, one was under the eldest lady, and the other was under the second lady.

People are in charge of the king's affairs, what Mrs. Zheng can cook is the kitchen this acre of three points of land, so idle that the bones hurt, but don't just pinch, Mrs. Zheng is in charge of the food of these 20 people, she only said that her waist is sore, her legs and feet are weak, and she asked someone to eat clear soup noodles for a few days, so the king steward should buy someone.

I originally wanted to buy a full kitchen stove, but the Wang steward also said that it costs a few dollars to buy a full stove, at least twenty taels, and the money given above is not much, so buy a little girl to adjust and use it.

Mrs. Zheng said "bah" several times behind her back, the Song family sent money every year, and the king steward had to repair the tree for a while, and the window was broken to make up for a while, thinking about the way to ask for money, and when it was time to buy people, he sighed that the money was not enough.

These things are still said by grapes, she also bought them later, it turned out that it was Mrs. Zheng's daughter and son-in-law, how could the two stay in this place without oil and water for a long time, Mrs. Zheng entrusted someone to send her daughter and son-in-law back, and she worked here by herself.

"Then why doesn't she go back?" Shi Gui ate hemp candy, which was bought by Mrs. Zheng to entertain guests, how could there be guests here, only buy a small half catty when she returned, but she could eat it for two or three months, so that the grapes were stolen out and hidden in the box to eat slowly.

"If I can go back, I will go back early, I have written several letters, and no one here is literate except for the king's steward, and I have to go to the town to write letters back, and I have spent ten dollars to hire someone to write them on my behalf. In addition to the letter and the pickles she made herself, she didn't mean that the eldest lady didn't forget her, and she could only go back to Song's house later: "Look, if you wait, you have to boil the flower sauce." ”

There are flowers and trees planted in the yard, in order to keep this garden from being abandoned, there are six flowers and trees in charge, and the flowers are planted at four o'clock, and they are boiled into sauce with sugar, and they are sent to the eldest lady every year, and the rose sauce is in the spring, and the osmanthus sauce is in the autumn, and there are small crabs in the local area, but the raw meat is thick, and the female crab is full of a shell of yellow, which is the best for making crab paste, but it is sent every year, and the eldest lady still does not transfer Mrs. Zheng back.

"It's useless for you to hear these things, but we're in this place anyway. "The grievances between the eldest lady and the second lady are not something that can be said clearly, Mrs. Zheng loves to eat and drink, don't be drunk and fall asleep, she is drunk but loves to talk, there is nothing in her mouth that she doesn't spit out, and she said a lot of bits and pieces.

Now this old lady Song was originally the nephew of the old lady Song, the old lady Song had a son, and they had already been married, and said that the girl who matched the door was going to have a happy event, but she fell off the horse, hit her head, and lay on the bed for more than ten days.

Mrs. Song only has one son who is from his wife, and Mrs. Song's younger brother has only one son who is a grandson, Mrs. Song is a scholar, but his brother is just a lifter, and the two brothers only have one seedling, so he can only be asked to pick two rooms.

The person died, the marriage was not withdrawn, the eldest lady still married in, together with the second lady, both of them were mentioned in front of the kiss, and they were on an equal footing, but they served a husband together, and the old lady Song was thinking about his own room, and there were two rooms on the surface, so why didn't he leave good things to his own house.

The two have been grudging for a long time, but this time, it was the eldest lady who was defeated, and the second lady was very majestic for a few days, but only for a few days, and then they were equally divided.

The grapes are still eating, and now they sighed again, and they also knew that they had no future, and they would be rough girls all their lives if they stayed in the kitchen, and two hundred dollars a month was enough.

She turned over, the quilt covered her head, Shi Gui only listened to a play, just forget it after listening to it, put down the account, the Song family is more idle than she thought, they are all subordinates, and the king can't manage the kitchen, but with these two hundred dollars, when can he save the money for redemption?
