18 Steward Qiu asked for help
After the Hua family arranged the matter of sending gifts to each family, she originally wanted to discuss with her daughter whether to make the bed in the back room bigger, so that Qinglian could sleep with them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter all, Qinglian was brought back by Ni Jinghe, and it was not suitable for her to live in Qiu's house. There was thought that before I could find my daughter, I knew that I had the right to cook before I could speak, but I was deprived of my right to cook. Ni Jinghe explained to Hua's: "Mother, there will be a lot of people in our family to do things in the future, and it will be very tiring for you to cook alone." Besides, there is no reason for the mother of the head of the house to cook for her subordinates, and our family should invite a few cooks, not only Qiu Xiaomei. My brother also wants to let him go to school, and he doesn't have time to help you. Our family now has a house, but this house is so dilapidated that it is not suitable for living, and there are many things to do from a new one. Besides, I don't want you to work too hard. ”
Hua Shi listened to her daughter's warm and filial words, and was very moved, and she did not dwell on the loss of the right to cook. Carefully reminded Ni Jinghe: "If you want to build a new house, you must build it before the year, otherwise it will always rain after the year, and it will be difficult to build a house." Ni Jinghe said that she knew, and told Hua that she wanted to hire Brother Qiu as a housekeeper. I don't have any property at home now, but I will definitely have my own property in the future and need someone who can help manage it outside. And this person must be loyal and honest, and will not play tricks to betray the master, Brother Qiu is such a person who can be trusted.
Qiu Xiaomei, the newly appointed little chef, was full of enthusiasm and ready to show her skills, pulling Qinglian's east family to collect raw materials for food everywhere. Hua and Ni Jinghe's mother and daughter chatted at home while sorting out the things they brought back, and Hua looked at the silk they brought back and said to Ni Jinghe: "You and Wei'er have suffered in the past few years, this time my mother will make you a few more clothes." "Mother, my brother and I bought a few sets of ready-to-wear clothes in the county, and we already have them now, so let's make a few clothes for yourself first." Otherwise, when the craftsmen who came to help build the house saw that the daughter and brother were wearing the clothes, but the mother was still wearing patched clothes, it would be time to say that we were not filial. Ni Jinghe replied to Hua's like this, and Hua's thought about it was right. Let's work with Ni Jinghe to choose the fabric that is suitable for the color and pattern she wears, and prepare to make a few clothes first, now that it is just autumn, the clothes that are not hot or cold do not need to be too thick, and a dress can be made in two or three days.
The little chef and Qinglian took the ingredients they bought from the neighbor's house and went into the kitchen to tinker with the night's food. Ni Jinghe and Hua Shi cut and selected fabrics in the back room to make clothes. Until Shen Shizheng, Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei came back in a carriage. Hearing the movement outside the hospital, several women in the family came out. The carriage hadn't stopped yet, but I saw that Steward Qiu was in a hurry to get off the car, so Ni Jingwei and Brother Qiu were so frightened that they hurriedly helped Steward Qiu get out of the car. Brother Qiu said to his father with tears in his eyes: "Dad, be careful not to worry, the little sister of the Ni family is the most kind-hearted person, and there will definitely be a way to help us." Ni Jingwei also helped on the side: "Uncle Qiu, my little sister is the most intelligent, there will definitely be a way." ”
Ni Jinghe wondered in her heart, what was wrong, why didn't Steward Qiu go back to the town with Qiu Yuanwai, but followed Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei back to the village. Or is it in such a hurry, what happened? Could it be that the transfer of the deed and the land deed are not going well, shouldn't it, Ni Jinghe also specially instructed Ni Jingwei not to be stingy. Or do you want to ask what happened first? Hua and Ni Jinghe greeted him, and walked in front of Steward Qiu when he didn't want to, and Steward Qiu was about to kneel down when he saw Hua He's Ni Jinghe, startling the mother and daughter and quickly helping him up. Ni Jinghe said: "Uncle Qiu, what are you doing, you have something to say, aren't you trying to torment us juniors?" Steward Qiu choked up and couldn't speak clearly for a while. Hua asked Brother Ni Jingwei and Brother Qiu to help Steward Qiu into the house first and let him sit in the hall for a while.
In Brother Qiu's narration, I finally understood the reason why Steward Qiu knelt as soon as he entered the door. It turned out that after Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei sent Qiu Yuanwai, Steward Qiu and the two coachmen to the town, the two coachmen were in a hurry to return to the county seat and took a step forward. Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu took Ni Jingwei and Brother Qiu to the town's town guard to go through the transfer procedures, and everything went smoothly. Originally, after completing the formalities, Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei could go back to the village directly, and Steward Qiu also followed Qiu Yuanwai back to Yuanwai's mansion. It was Ni Jingwei who remembered that she didn't buy much food to go home yesterday, and there was not much food at home now, so she thought that the carriage was empty and empty, so she would go back to the village without more food by the way. I went to the grain store to buy food, and when I was about to go back to the village after buying food, I met Steward Qiu at the intersection of the town.
On the way, Steward Qiu explained the reason why he was here. That Qiu Yuanwai relied on his wife's dowry to donate a member of the family and started to make a fortune, so Qiu Yuanwai was a little afraid of the inside. After returning to the Yuanwai Mansion, when his tigress learned that Hua had paid off the arrears and bought a dilapidated house in the village, she was furious, saying that she couldn't bring back Ni Jinghe to be a maid for her daughter, so she asked Qiu's daughter to be a maid for her stupid daughter. Qiu Yuanwai and Steward Qiu had some distant relatives, and they couldn't bear Steward Qiu's daughter to go to his house to suffer, so they never arranged for Brother Qiu and Little Sister Qiu to work at his house. Now that his tigress is going to be powerful, Qiu Yuanwai does not dare to fight openly. secretly gave the slave deed of Steward Qiu's two children to Steward Qiu, and asked Steward Qiu to hide the children first, and then find a way to see if he could pretend to say that he had sold the deed of his children to others, so that his tigress would not be able to ask Steward Qiu's daughter to be a maid. But the deed of slavery is registered in the government, and it cannot be changed at will, and if the master's family sells or gives them away, it is also necessary to go to the town guard to go through the procedures for changing the owner. There is also a way to redeem oneself and change one's slave nationality to civilian citizenship, but this is a lot of money. Where does Steward Qiu have such a large amount of money to redeem his daughter and change her nationality. He originally only thought of rushing back to the village to hide Qiu Xiaomei first, and then find a way to change the slave status deed to someone else's name, but now the slave status deed of Qiu's housekeeper's family is in Qiu Yuanwai's name.
Ni Jingwei listened to Steward Qiu's story on the road and started to help his family, after all, Brother Qiu led the way to the county seat this time, which helped a lot. After this experience, Ni Jingwei felt that her sister was smarter than him, so she thought that as long as she came back, Ni Jinghe would definitely have a way. After listening to Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei's complementary explanations of the reasons for the matter, Hua and Ni Jinghe tacitly thought in their hearts, 'If you are really sleepy, someone will send a pillow', and then they said that they would let Brother Qiu be the housekeeper, and this will be sent to the door. Ni Jinghe asked Brother Qiu, whose eyes were red: "If I let you come to my house to be a housekeeper, are you willing?" If you want, don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of it. Brother Qiu looked up at Ni Jinghe, who was still young, in disbelief - she really had a way to rescue her little sister from the palm of that tigress! It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way to tell me to do anything.
Brother Qiu nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that Ni Jinghe would not believe it and replied loudly: "I am willing, as long as I can save my little sister, I can do anything." Ni Jinghe is very satisfied, and has found a loyal employee again. After Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei finished talking about the matter, Steward Qiu also calmed down a lot. Ni Jinghe asked Steward Qiu: "Uncle Qiu, I heard that Brother Qiu said that the slave status deed of their brother and sister is now with you?" Do you want to help them redeem themselves? Or is it okay to change the main home? If you want to redeem yourself, how much does it cost? "Steward Qiu understands that he is afraid that he will not be able to raise so much money to redeem his children for his slavery in this life. Then he said to Ni Jinghe: "It's useless for me to be a father, I can't redeem myself as a slave for them, I just hope that I can transfer the little sister's deed to someone else's name before the evil lord finds out, so that my poor daughter will not be taken away." ”
Ni Jinghe understood that as long as Qiu Xiaomei's slave deed was in someone else's name, the wife of the staff member could not take people away for no reason. Isn't that just right, now that you have invited her to be a little cook, then record the slave deeds of Brother Qiu and Little Sister Qiu in the name of the Hua family, no. Oh! It is still necessary to settle the matter of the deed as soon as possible, so that there will not be long nights and dreams. Ni Jinghe told Steward Qiu the idea of wanting Brother Qiu and Little Sister Qiu to be housekeepers and cooks at home, and the housekeeper Qiu had to kneel down in front of Ni Jinghe again, so that Ni Jinghe was really unaccustomed. How can you kneel down at every turn, and you are not afraid of knee pain.
It's just that it's getting late now, and the town's registered officials have already gone home, and if they wait until tomorrow to do it, I'm afraid there will be problems. Qiu Yuanwai must not be able to resist the tigress of his family, and when he says that the birth deed has been given to Steward Qiu, it will be a big trouble. The tigress will definitely say that it was the Qiu steward who stole the deed, this is the back master, and the master can kill the back minion. Ni Jinghe still wants to do a good job of this deed transfer today, so that it can save a lot of trouble. So he asked Steward Qiu, "Uncle Qiu, do you know where the home of the household official who manages the register is?" We'd better get the transfer done tonight. Steward Qiu said that he knew where the official house in the town was. Ni Jinghe is relieved, as long as she can find someone, she is not afraid of not being able to do things. Isn't there a saying ~ Can money make grinding ghosts! Not to mention the hell grinding!
asked Steward Qiu, Brother Qiu and Ni Jingwei to eat something first so that they could run errands, and the little chef and Qinglian made flour gnocchi for the three of them to eat. The little chef also knew what was happening at home, and said that now she is the cook of the Ni family, and everything is in charge of the family, and she is really a girl with a big heart. The three of them ate gnocchi, Ni Jinghe took out three hundred taels and asked Steward Qiu to take them to the town to find the mayor's house and the household official's house, and transferred the deed of Brother Qiu and Little Sister Qiu to the name of the Hua family overnight, and also told that the date was best to be one day with the house deed, so they said that they bought it together. Why is it placed in the name of the Hua family, that is, the Hua family is still the wife of the prince in name, and she can have the power of subordinates. When Hua first arrived in the village, there was a grandmother and a maidservant girl who followed, but she couldn't afford to raise them later, so she asked the grandmother to go back to find her son, but fortunately, her son was filial and did not dislike it. The maid Hua asked her to marry, and it was the maid herself who fell in love with someone else and later begged Hua, and Hua asked the family to agree before marrying the maid. However, the deed of slavery of these two people is still in the name of the Hua family, Ni Jingwei and Ni Jinghe must tie their hair and bow before they can write their property or something in their own names, this is the national law of Liang Yueguo, and I don't know why it is required like this.
