Ting Fang looked at the two girls who were scared stupidly, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Tell me yourself, what can you do?" "She hasn't learned to comb her hair until now, and if she doesn't look for help, the child won't tire her to death when she is born.

Bean Sprouts said with a crying voice: "County Lord, don't drive us away, we can do anything." ”

Ting Fang smiled: "According to the original rules of my family, a child like you should be a little girl." I had to study with my sisters for several years before I could serve her. You study hard, learn everything you need to learn, and when the older sister gets married, it will be your turn. You bought it back with Yibinte, don't be ashamed of him. ”

The two girls breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't get kicked out of the door. Then change the place, where to have a meal of white rice tube full. Tingfang has been researching basic machinery recently, and by the way, she has written out the junior high school physics that she can remember. didn't have time to take care of the two girls, so he took a box from the cabinet and handed it to the bean sprouts: "It's full of candy, you two take it and divide it outside, don't forget the girls of the Fang family." ”

The bean sprouts cheered and ran away with the sugar box. Dou Qing didn't move, stood behind Ting Fang and said, "I'll serve the county master's pen and ink." ”

Tingfang asked, "Do you want to be literate?" ”

Dou Qing nodded, and asked again: "Buy girls again, do the county lords pick literate ones?" ”

Ting Fang said: "My former girl, there is no illiterate. If you want to learn from me, I'll find someone to teach you another day. Or if you inquire yourself, and ask me to take the money, and go to the teacher seriously. ”

Dou Qing smiled: "Yes." ”

Seeing that she was motivated, Ting Fang couldn't help but say more: "Combing hair is a technique, and if you learn it, you can be a combing lady in the future." This craft can be done very old, you can keep making money, and your husband's family will not look down on you. ”

Dou Qing bit her lip: "Do I have to get married?" ”

Ting Fang smiled: "It's up to you, but it's always good to have one more skill." For example, if I want to give birth to a sister, you will comb your hair in a beautiful bun, but others can't, so I have to transfer you to serve my sister. is not to leave my side, there must always be something good at in order to get ahead. I had a girl in my early years, who was literate and knew medical skills, and now she is a five-grade pleasant. ”

Dou Qing's eyes widened: "Five products? It's amazing! ”

Ting Fang said: "She is likable, and she is a good marriage." There were many people who wanted to marry her back then. At any time, one more craft has a much greater probability of survival. As he spoke, he shook the book in his hand, "I still have to keep learning, how are you better than me?" ”

Dou Qing said: "Don't dare to compare." ”

Ting Fang said: "I don't dare to compare, my conditions for beating children are not comparable to you." But since the foundation is weak, we should work harder. We women have a harder life than men, and we can only live well if we are more attentive. ”

Dou Qing responded.

Ting Fang waited with her, and continued to read by herself.

Merchants who work hard start to open on the fifth day of the new year, and those who don't work hard also start to go out after the Lantern Festival. The frozen canals were not able to sail, and savvy businessmen turned to cheaper and more convenient shipping. It's just that after all, there is an order □□, and the board is not allowed to go to the sea, and everyone is secretly poking and prodding to make a fortune. It is very convenient to bring things to Shandong and Beijing, and if the fleet wants to go to Tianjin, it must first detour the Bohai Bay, and some goods can be unloaded on the way. Chen remembered that Ting Fang loved to eat roasted sea cucumber with green onions, and gave a large box a year ago. At this time, spring is coming, and Tingfang has sent back a lot of Jiangnan native products. Mother and daughter, who are not allowed to see each other, rely on the objects passed to each other to talk about their thoughts.

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, a large ship docked on the shore of East Lake. Above came a group of brightly dressed people. Xu Jingchang saw it from afar, so he greeted Qian and bowed his hand with a smile: "Mr. Qian hasn't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

The people who came were Qian Lianggong and Yang Zhichu, who were dug up from home by Ting Yao. Qian Lianggong didn't dare to accept Xu Jingchang's courtesy, so he leaned over to see him first, and Xu Jingchang hurriedly helped him up: "Mr. is still in the same spirit as before." He asked Yang Zhichu again.

Qian Lianggong hurriedly said: "After wilting for many years, I have been summoned by the county lord, and I will immediately be a hundred times more energetic!" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Mr. Hugh is polite, we all grew up with you, and we were originally a family." ”

Qian Lianggong exchanged a few more words of greeting, and then asked, "Is the county lord good?" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Okay." When Mr. went to meet him, he knew that when he grew up, he was still so naughty. ”

Yang Zhichu said with a smile: "Yibin likes the naughty and mischievous energy of the county lord when he is a child. ”

Xu Jingchang readily admitted that he led Qian Lianggong and Yang Zhichu, and the girl brought from Beijing to his home. At this time, the boat was not accurate, Xu Jingchang roughly estimated the time, and he stopped by to take a look at it during the busy interval. The East Lake is not very big, and the wharf is not far from the Xu family, so Xu Jingchang walked slowly with people.

Qian Lianggong looked left and right at the situation in East Lake and familiarized himself with the environment as soon as possible. At the beginning, Ye Ge Lao helped the prince to force the palace, and he was afraid that everyone would follow him to death, so he hurriedly sent them away with the silver money before the incident. However, in the past few years, life in the countryside has not been very good, and there has always been evil in the vicinity of Gyeonggi. Teach, they all know that he is rich, and he is very troubled. He had to pretend to be a devout believer and "donate" all his family property to get a trace of peace. The rest of the hidden money is no longer daring to spend it, and the days are miserable, and I can't even eat meat until the New Year's Day. Hearing Tingfang's invitation, he ran out in a hurry. On the road for seven or eight days, chatting with Yang Zhichu, it was a similar situation. The two old staff members smiled bitterly at each other, if life is not difficult, who wants to engage in rebellion again.

The group walked to Xu's house and entered the second gate, and Ting Fang had already received the news and rushed out. Qian Lianggong and Yang Zhichu both brought small servants, plus four girls, and more than a dozen people immediately blocked the door. Mrs. Fang has been here for more than ten days, and she has taken over all the things in the inner house, and Ting Fang decisively threw the four new girls to Mrs. Fang first, and she first talked about the old things with Qian Lianggong.

Qian Lianggong and Yang Zhichu saw Ting Fang because of their arms. The face of the pregnant woman is slightly blessed, and she is really admired. I haven't seen a few sisters who were abducted to the Qinglou and could escape when they were popular. Greeting each other, Ren Shaoying came to the inspection with the week, and several people met again. Ren Shaoying first mixed with the prince, and he was much more decent than Qian Lianggong. Now it's reversed, and when you look at each other, you know that the other party is not good. Ting Fang took in the expressions of several people, healthy competition between subordinates is a good thing, what she has to manage is not competition, but not to allow malicious stumbling. Where did □□ Yi get his self-motivation? Isn't it?

A group of people with their own hearts and minds all walked in with smiles. There were not so many desks in the east room of the main courtyard, so Qian Lianggong and Yang Zhichu were arranged to go to the west room. The courtyard of Xujiachang is limited, so it is necessary to ask two people to squeeze a courtyard. However, Ting Fang lived a simple life, and the staff was even more unwanted. Now it's time for everyone to work hard, and it's not too late to enjoy it when the big things are done. Everyone talked nonsense in the main hall for a while, and then let the two newcomers go to rest.

Mrs. Fang's housekeeper was a good hand, and the two staff members entered the courtyard gate, and the hot meal had been delivered. Considering that their little maid would follow a long journey, they were afraid that they would not be served well, so they transferred two girls and two male servants to prepare everything for them first. Let's get down to business when we're settled.

Daily housekeeping is simple, but no matter how simple it is, it is time-consuming. With Mrs. Fang's help, Tingfang was much easier. When he knew that Qian Lianggong was in place, he called the new girl. Walking soothing and calm, with low eyebrows on his face, he approached and greeted the new master. As soon as you look at the style, you know that you have been professionally trained. Tingfang is in a good mood, and the person her sister picked can rest assured. Wen Yan called out and asked first, "What are your names?" ”

The girl at the head said: "The slave's name is Cui Rong." He also introduced the other three people, namely Cuihua, Cuiliu, and Cuilu. A very standard girl's name.

Ting Fang asked again: "You were originally on an errand in King Fu's Mansion?" ”

Cui Rong said: "If you go back to the county lord, the slave was serving His Royal Highness before. ”

Ting Fangmu paused, Ping'er was one of King Fu's eight big girls at the beginning, and it was given to her in a special situation at that time. Now I'm not in a hurry, those who can serve King Fu close are all top quality, her eldest sister is too ruthless! couldn't help but look at the other three: "Which one did you serve before?" ”

Cuihua replied: "The slave is the maid of Princess Qin. ”

Tingfang: "......" asked again, and found that the green willows were common, otherwise she would be really embarrassed.

Cui Rong said with a smile: "The princess said that according to the dignity of the county lord, at least eight must be gathered. But His Royal Highness's mansion has a large population, and it is not possible to transfer so many people for the time being. He sent only four of us. I hope the county lord will forgive me. ”

King Fu is full of little wives in the yard, can he not suffer from labor shortage? Ting Fang said with a smile: "I have wronged you all the way here. ”

A few girls didn't dare.

The girl in the palace is extraordinary, the bean sprouts are staring at her pockets, and the bean green is even more flustered. It's too far away! No wonder the county lord has always been dissatisfied.

I only heard Tingfang ask again: "Are you literate?" ”

Cui Rong replied: "The slave knows a few words, the princess has instructed before, and the county lord likes to use literate girls." The slave is only shallow in learning, and when he was on the road, he asked the two gentlemen to learn a little, but he was afraid that it would not be enough for the county lord, and he asked the county lord to teach one or two personally. Chosen by Princess Qin, Cui Rong was ecstatic. King Fu rarely sleeps with girls, and his old man sleeps directly with palace maids. can't be the people in the house of the blessed king, and most of the soldiers in the house are old, weak, sick and disabled, so they can only be girls for the rest of their lives. How did he know that Feng turned around, and he actually asked her to serve Lord Ye. Those who have followed this are at least the wives of landlords. She is confident that she will marry well.

can be a girl, even if it is a prince's girl, you don't need to be literate. Cui Rong learned a few words of the three-character scripture when he was a child, and he recognized his name out of curiosity. The choice of the girl was immediately revealed, and she had the courage to entangle Xia Boguang that day. Xia Boguang was busy with the workshop, and threw her to her predecessor, who is now called Wu Yiren. Looking at Wu's pleasant and comfortable days, Cuirong was even more ruthless. After studying hard for a month, I ate the entire "Thousand Character Essay", but I still can't write. After being sent on the ship, he went to entangle Qian Lianggong and Yang Zhichu again, and memorized "Hundred Family Names".

Among the four girls, Cui Rong was the leader, and they recognized the words at this time, which was even different. The three of them will see her. matter, I was shocked to learn quickly, for fear that I would fall too far behind, and I would not recruit the master to see him. Now they are all bumpy masters who can memorize the "Three Character Classic". The first day we met, sure enough, I asked if I was literate first, and the four girls were all in a cold sweat, fortunately they were prepared early, so dangerous!

Ting Fang was very satisfied, and said to Cui Rong: "In the future, the two little girls will be handed over to you to bring." ”

Bean sprouts and bean greens are the same thing.

However, the girl's cultural level cannot be hopeful. Ting Fang simply instructed the bean sprouts: "You go outside and say something, and ask an old boy to come to the house to be a gentleman." It is also a skill to learn all the words seriously. ”

The sprouts shivered out the door. After a while, someone in the courtyard said, "Is the county lord at home?" ”

Dou Qing lifted the curtain and saw that it was Zhou Patrol, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the inspector?" ”

Ting Fang wondered in her heart, what is the Zhou patrol doing? 166 Reading Network
