CHAPTER XXXVI

In the workshop in the backyard of the academy, more than a dozen looms were humming, and although the village women seemed to have wide hands and thick waists, their movements were very fast and agile, and they could weave a kilometre of cotton cloth in only a quarter of an hour.

These looms are all improved by Tang Xiaoshi, and they are more convenient to use than ordinary looms.

Because the flowering period of the plum blossom has passed, the production of perfume has come to an end, and the new perfume can not be made until the next spring equinox when the flowers are in full bloom, so they are arranged to work in the weaving workshop.

They are all waiting, Mr. Tang said that he will send them monthly money today, how much will it be? Mr. Tang did not say.

However, they all believe in Mr. Tang's character, and those who are willing to exempt them from rent, will they still be given this little monthly money?

They were chattering and discussing, and they all felt that the monthly money was at least 200 yuan, because the monthly salary of long-term workers on the market was 200 yuan, and with Mr. Tang's person, it should not be less than that on the market.

If there are less, they can accept it, after all, the workshop is packed with lunch, although it is not a big fish and meat, but it is definitely much better than the food of the subordinates in other mansions, and the point is enough.

The second is that working in the workshop is stipulated to be only four hours together, and it is not a physical work.

To be honest, they all love the job, and they also like the relaxed working environment in the workshop, and they can play around in their spare time.

Unlike other places, no matter how long or short the work is, the master can't wait to use you as a donkey, and he never forgets to call you all day long, so that you are tired and exhausted.

If you want to go home and see it when you become a long-term worker, it's a luxury.

It's not the same here, where you can go home and take care of your young children after every day's work.

……

……

Tang Xiaoshi and Han Shiniang came back, but they were wearing the coarse linen clothes of a civilian peasant woman, which they came out of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion to hide people's eyes and ears.

They also brought back a small box of silver, the rest of which would not be shipped until nightfall.

She promised to pay the workers of the workshop a monthly payment today, so naturally she would not break her promise.

Now there are really a lot of people who point to her for monthly money, more than a dozen peasant women in the weaving workshop, the fire masters over there, the models and maids in the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, a group of embroidery girls recruited by Tang Chun'er, and five or six horsemen headed by Lao Zhang.

Because the academy was short of funds before, the monthly money was already more than half a month late, and if it was too late, Tang Xiaoshi would be embarrassed.

Tang Xiaoshi and Han Shiniang walked into the weaving workshop, and the peasant women said hello while still stringing the shuttles in their hands.

Han Siniang smiled and said: "You have worked hard, stop what you are doing first, and come over to receive the monthly money!" ”

Hearing this, the peasant women gathered around happily, and a quick-talking peasant woman asked, "Sir, how is our perfume selling?" Can you make money? ”

A peasant woman named Cuihua glanced at the fast-talking peasant woman, who was the leader of this group of peasant women, and said, "Erya, her mother, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”

I thought to myself, can they also ask about the affairs of the main family? This two girls are really damn mother, and they don't understand this rule.

Tang Xiaoshi naturally didn't care, and said: "The perfume workshop is mine, and it is also yours, there is a part of your efforts here, there are not so many rules in my place, you can tell everyone, our perfume is selling very well, it is a big sale, it seems that everyone will be busy in the future!" Come, Cuihua, this is the monthly money! ”

After that, Tang Xiaoshi took out five taels of silver from the box and gave it to Cuihua.

Cuihua saw the five ingots of silver shining white flowers, and her eyes suddenly lit up, silver! A full five taels of silver!

These five taels of silver are divided into fourteen peasant women, and they are definitely more than two hundred yuan per person, Mr. Tang is really a rare good employer!

Cuihua said: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, I will go and break the silver and distribute it to the sisters." ”

The other peasant women were also very happy.

Han Shi Niang on the side laughed heartily and said, "Cuihua, you are mistaken, this silver is not everyone's monthly money, it is your own monthly money." ”

"What...... This is...... Is it me alone? Cuihua was so surprised that she couldn't speak smoothly.

The other peasant women were also so surprised that they couldn't speak, Cuihua can get five taels, can't they also get five taels of silver?!

If this is in the past, you may not be able to earn so much money by working hard for a whole year.

Seeing their surprised looks, Han Shiniang said, "What, it's too much?" If you have too much, you can return it. She held out her hand.

"Not much, not much." Cuihua said with a smile as she hurriedly stuffed the silver into her chest groove, for fear that Han Shi Niang would go back.

Then the other peasant women also happily received the monthly money, and they each did what they could, and hid the silver safely, after all, it was the first time that they had taken so much money.

……

……

After sending the monthly money, Tang Xiaoshi returned to the front yard of the academy, hey, why are there two more people in the academy?

It turned out that Tang Xiaoshi and Han Siniang forgot to lock the door when they came back, and the two of them came in directly.

I saw that one of them was a middle-aged man, looking like a wolf bèi, looking like a scholar, a little thin, but wearing a mended sackcloth, perhaps because he had walked too far, and the shoes on his feet were showing his toes.

The other should be the son of a middle-aged man, fourteen or fifteen years old, looking very capable, and his body proportions are also very good, Tang Xiaoshi's first reaction was that this was a rare talent for martial arts.

His clothes are also shabby.

Judging by their appearance, they must have walked a long way to come, why did they come to my academy? Coming to study?

Tang Xiaoshi was puzzled.

The middle-aged man saw Tang Xiaoshi dressed in the clothes of a peasant woman, and heard the sound of the shuttle loom in the weaving mill, thinking that Tang Xiaoshi had been reduced to the same as a peasant woman, and could only live by weaving.

He thought that Tang Xiaoshi had suffered a lot.

The middle-aged man's nose was sore, he knelt on the ground with a plop, raised his head and cried, and said while crying: "Sister, Dagang is incompetent, I can't help you take care of Xiaoshi, let Xiaoshi suffer in Chang'an alone, my brother is sorry for you!" ”

Crying very sadly.

Then he scolded resentfully, gritting his teeth: "Sister, you really saw the wrong person at the beginning, Tang Huairen, this animal!" There's really no humanity anymore! I failed you back then, and now I don't even care about my own daughter, letting Xiaoshi fall to this point, I knew that I shouldn't have let him take Xiaoshi away from Zhang's family back then! ”

Tang Xiaoshi didn't have the memory of this body, but after listening to the middle-aged man talking to himself so much, she probably understood what was going on.

This is her brother-in-law, or the brother-in-law of the original owner of this body, who must have come to visit her.

Tang Xiaoshi was about to step forward to help her uncle up, but Chu Ming returned to the academy from the Dark Incense Pavilion at this time.

Chu Ming saw Tang Xiaoshi wearing the clothes of a peasant woman, and wanted to make a joke, and said, "Madam, why are you dressed like this?" ”

His joke was mocking in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned around and asked sharply, "You are Lord Jing?" ”

Chu Ming didn't know the situation, and nodded stunned.

I saw that the middle-aged man immediately picked up a broken shoe, smashed it at Chu Ming with all his might, and scolded angrily: "You are not a good thing, you dare to drive Xiaoshi out of the door, and you still have the face to come here?!" ”
