Chapter XXVII
Helped Zirao to the side and sat down, "Don't worry, I've thought of a way." ”
Zirao, who was hazy with teary eyes, looked at her own young lady, and hope rose in her heart again.
"Can you give you an estimate of the number of people in your small mountain village?"
Zi Rao nodded, "There are not many people in our village, only about sixty people, and there are only twenty or thirty families in the village. ”
"How many people can do embroidery or have some embroidery foundation?"
"The female dolls in the village will embroider, there should be about 20 people, and our village mainly relies on the mountains to grow grain. ”
Zirao suddenly seemed to understand her young lady's thoughts.
"Zirao, isn't our embroidery workshop just embroidery workers now? Why don't you go and get them all back, put them in our embroidery workshop to work, pay according to the amount, and the yard we saw before can also be given to them to live." ”
Zi Rao understood Su Miao's intentions, and tears flowed out again for a while.
"Poof" knelt on the ground, "Miss treats the slave and the slave and the maid well, and the slave and the maid will never forget it for the rest of their lives." ”
Su Miao hurriedly helped Zi Rao up, these rituals make people kneel down at every turn, Su Miao is really worried that these people's knees will leave the root of the disease when they reach old age.
"Alright. Since you want to thank me, I would like to teach your relatives how to embroider on both sides. ”
Su Miao smiled and patted Zirao's head.
"As for the rest of the male workers, you don't have to worry, I'll think about it again. ”
Zirao's unconditional trust in her own miss, a hot current in her heart surged, she will definitely keep the lady's double-sided embroidery method, so that the lady's shop must be opened well.
As soon as Lianxin, who was coming back, entered the door, she saw Zirao, whose eyes were red from crying, and asked puzzledly, "Zirao, what's wrong?"
Su Miao smiled and didn't explain, but only let the two of them retreat and rest.
I sent the eldest girl to the old lady's yard to inquire to see if Mrs. Li had left and whether Steward Su had returned.
After a stick of incense, the big girl went to the Miaoxin Pavilion to talk back, and the big girl who stayed in the Miaoxin Pavilion for a few days was no longer as restrained as she was at the beginning, and this would also be smiling back to the wonderful,
"Miss, the slave maid just went to ask, Old Madam Li didn't stay for lunch, Steward Su just came back with Sister Lianxin, and she was about to go to the old lady. ”
Su Miao smiled and said, "It's hard work, you go and rest." ”
The eldest girl bowed and retired.
Su Miao sat on the couch by the window, thinking quietly, in her impression, once this year's drought passed, the winter was also very difficult, there was no trace of water, and even the yield of cotton dropped sharply, and it coincided with the war between the neighboring Dongyu country and his own country, Xiqing country.
The soldiers of Dongyu Kingdom, who have been in the north for a long time, are naturally accustomed to the cold of winter, but the soldiers of Xiqing Kingdom are not so lucky, and the old cotton clothes can't withstand the wind and cold at all.
In his previous life, although General Su had no worries about his life, he was still sick in the end and couldn't go to the battlefield, and the Su family didn't have any more capable people, even if the emperor took care of it, General Su's life was worry-free, and he could only point to the end. In the end, the Su family also quietly declined.
Su Miao propped her chin and thought of those villagers again.
The men in Zirao Village let them plant cotton on the barren mountains outside the capital, and they could also make a fortune when they came in winter, or donate it to the officers and soldiers on the front line in the name of Su Fu, and the situation should be much better if they could have cotton clothes to keep out the cold.
But the current water source is a big problem, and the water source of your own space can be drawn out by yourself, but how to explain the source of this water to others, I sighed leisurely with a headache.
Unable to think of a way for the time being, Su Miao's eyes fell on her arm, rolled up her thin sleeves, and looked at it, sure enough, her complexion was better than yesterday, and the corners of her mouth raised a smile.
After looking at the sky, he deduced that the old lady should wake up from a nap, so he straightened his clothes, got up, and walked alone to the old lady's courtyard.
On the way, I met Steward Su, who was also about to meet the old lady.
Steward Su bent down and saluted: "The eldest lady is fine." ”
Su Miao smiled and asked Steward Su to get up: "Uncle Su, Miao'er has something she wants to ask Uncle Su for help." ”
Steward Su also smiled and said, "Miss, please speak." ”
Su Miao continued to walk forward, and said: "To be honest, I have bought a shop in the past few days and want to open a shop, but now I am struggling with the decoration of the store, I don't know if Uncle Su knows this better craftsman?"
Steward Su followed behind Su Miao, surprised in his heart, the eldest lady also has an idea now.
He replied, "I know quite a few craftsmen, I'll help Miss take a look, and she should be able to find them in these two days." ”
Su Miao was grateful: "Then thank you Uncle Su, if you find it, go directly to Zirao, she will tell the craftsman the specific requirements." ”
Steward Su should be, and the two entered the old lady's courtyard together.
The old lady who had just woken up was drinking the tea handed over by Mama Gu, and when she saw Su Miao, she smiled and said, "Sister Miao'er has been a frequent visitor to my old woman's yard these days." ”
Su Miao pretended to be puzzled and pouted: "Then does grandmother want to see Miao'er or not?"
The old lady laughed and pulled Su Miao in front of her, "Think about it, why doesn't grandmother want to see Miao'er." ”
The atmosphere in the room was extremely harmonious for a while, and the old lady looked at Su Miao and suddenly sighed: "Miao'er's birthday on the seventh day of the seventh month of July is coming, and as soon as this year passes, next year's birthday Miao'er will be in time." ”
Su Miao looked at the light shining in the old lady's eyes, as if she was worried about her marriage.
A little shrunken, and said with a dry smile: "What is grandmother talking about now?" ”
Su Miao didn't have the intention of getting married so early, and Sun Zhuo in the previous life had already made himself extremely resistant to getting married.
The old lady saw that Su Miao was a little resistant, so she didn't continue the topic, and when she saw that Steward Su also came over, she took the initiative to ask, "Steward Su, how is the soup soup today?"
Hearing the old lady's question, Steward Su stepped forward with a smile and said, "Fortunately, Miss has checked the number of people in advance, and the amount of soup soup today is enough." Miss also behaved very well. ”
added the second half of the sentence unhurriedly.
The old lady heard Steward Su's praise and looked at Su Miao with satisfaction.
"Is Miao'er going to go tomorrow?"
Su Miao nodded: "Go, this matter is not much strength." If you still fish for three days and dry your nets for two days, Grandmother and Uncle Su don't hold a grudge against Miao'er. ”
"Haha, Miao'er's mouth is getting more and more powerful now. ”
Steward Su still had things to do in the house, so he retired first, and Su Miao stayed and sat with the old lady for an afternoon, chatted with the old lady, and left after dinner.
At night, the same man in black entered Su Miao's room again, and Su Miao looked indifferently at the man in the space and left angrily without any gain.
Su Miao also didn't react, and as soon as she left the house the next day, she saw Aunt Liu who had been struggling in the mansion for a few days to ask for the old lady's forgiveness and not go to the temple.
Every time she arrived at the gate of the old lady's courtyard, Aunt Liu would be told by the old lady, "Aunt Li is already in the temple." "Blocked at the door.
The people in the house have spread the word. Liu has now become everyone's laughing stock.
Aunt Liu's haggard appearance was in stark contrast to Su Miao.
Su Miaozirao saw Aunt Liu's eyes like she wanted to quench poison and looked at herself. Ignore it, anyway, the one in the house doesn't know that he has made a feud with Liu's mother and son, if something happens to him in the future, there will always be two people who will take the blame.
Li is smart, he knows that he is avoiding the limelight at this juncture, so it's better to talk to the old lady, and he can come back in a few days, as for Liu, heh, just take it in the temple obediently!
sneered and turned around and got into the carriage, no longer looking at Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu's cruel gaze followed Su Miao's carriage closely.
Lianxin sat in the car. Nervously asked, "Miss, Liu won't do anything, right?"
Su Miao closed her eyes and rested in the carriage.
She has done everything that should be done, what wind and waves can she stir up?
"Don't worry. ”
Lianxin always felt uneasy in her heart, and looked at Su Miao nervously.
When he arrived at the temple where the soup was cooking, and saw that everything was going on in an orderly manner, the moment Su Miao put his mind down, he subconsciously looked into a corner, and he didn't see the person who should be sitting there, and there was an unknown emotion in his heart.
Suddenly, a boy of twelve or thirteen hesitated in front of him and asked,
"Sister, can you take me in?"
