Chapter 239: Servant
As soon as the autumn harvest was over, the winter wheat had not yet been planted, and the first snow began to fall, and the weather became more and more cold.
Qin Ruwei looked at the black and oppressive sky, her lips were pursed tightly, and her eyebrows were gloomy.
"Young lady, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house!" Yang Liu took a large coat and draped it over her and persuaded her.
Qin Ruwei nodded, turned around and walked into the house, Qiulan offered a cup of red date lotus seed tea, and the hot temperature warmed her hands through the cup.
"Young lady, Brother Zhao is here." Autumn fragrance lifted the curtain to report.
"Let him in!" Qin Ruwei smiled.
Zhao Tiezhu walked in, and he didn't get close to the door, but kowtowed from afar: "The slave greets the young lady." ”
"Why are you standing so far away, it's windy at the door, let's get closer." Qin Ruwei smiled and asked him to get up, and then instructed Qiulan to say: "Go and burn the charcoal pot more, he will definitely freeze after this journey." ”
Qiulan urged her to respond|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|WWW.UUXS.CC|, and smiled to add charcoal, but Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile: "Young Mrs. Xie, the slave is not frozen at all, but I am afraid that the cold air on my body will pass the young lady." ”
He wore a dark blue jacket, his honest face and childishness had faded a lot, and in the past two years, he had followed Qin Ruwei and his body had also risen a lot, and he had grown into a sturdy and sturdy guy.
In the past two years, he has followed Qin Ruwei, a young man in the shop, as an errand boy, Qin Ruwei asked him to go, there is no other word, even if it is a charm makeup workshop, he is not in charge of it now, he is not unhappy, and he does things in a down-to-earth manner, which makes Qin Ruwei very satisfied.
No, just after the autumn harvest, this time Qin Ruwei asked him to collect grain.
"Brother Zhao, eat a bowl of tea to warm up." Qiulan brought a cup of tea.
Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly got up and thanked him, and then sat down again to reply.
"The fifteen acres of land in Shili Tunzi have a total of about thirty-five stones of grain, and the thirty acres of land in Hushui Town have about twenty-five stones of rent, and according to the instructions of the young lady, all of them are collected in the granary." Zhao Tiezhu replied loudly: "Now I am ready to plant winter wheat." ”
Qin Ruwei nodded and said, "Although this grain has been harvested, you also have to go to investigate one or two from time to time, don't have anything wrong, don't be afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that this weather will change drastically, so I don't plan to sell this grain." ”
Zhuang Churan has been paying attention to this weather, she feels that this weather is not very usual, once there is a snow disaster as Zhuang Churan expected, the price of rice and grain will not be beautiful.
"The minions know." Zhao Tiezhu said immediately.
"Speaking of which, you've been with me for almost two years, and you're fifteen this year, right?" Qin Ruwei looked at him with a smile.
Zhao Tiezhu said: "The slave was born in the year, and it will be sixteen in March next year." ”
"In this peasant family, the fifteen or sixteen men are also considered relatives, your eldest brother Qin is afraid that it will be settled next year, do you have any ideas? Is there a marriage for you at home? ”
Zhao Tiezhu's black face was hot, he coughed, scratched his head and said, "No, it's not given at home." I, the minion is not in a hurry. ”
"Family affairs are really not in a hurry, it is important for men to make contributions. You have always been a clever and obedient person, Qin Yi is now in charge of the workshop of charm makeup and the workshop of the jerky shop, you have never received a serious errand, what are your plans? If you want to go to the shop to be a shopkeeper, you can do whatever you want, and there will not be only one shop on the left and right, which is today's embroidery workshop, and you can go if you want to. ”
"A slave is a man, where will he do the errands in the embroidery workshop." Zhao Tiezhu blushed and scratched his head and said: "It doesn't matter which errand, where the young lady sends the slave to go, the slave will go, and the errand boy is also happy, as long as he can follow the young lady." ”
Qin Ruwei chuckled: "You're not a girl, you can't always follow me and serve." ”
Zhao Tiezhu thought about it, this is also the reason, men and women are different, and he is not like Yang Liu.
"It's easier to get an errand alone, but there is no one around me now, and I want to find a proper person to watch, if you don't feel bitter, then follow me, you should go to collect the bills, and you should go to the new shop to open up the wasteland, how about it?" Qin Ruwei said with a smile.
Zhao Tiezhu couldn't react a little, and Yang Liu on the side said lightly: "You idiot, don't be quick to thank you, the young lady is lifting you up." If you do a good job, isn't the big steward better than a little shopkeeper? ”
The chief steward naturally has to see farther, and his responsibilities are greater, looking idle and not serious, but he has to lead everything, and now Qin Ruwei has given him this opportunity, which can be regarded as training him.
Zhao Tiezhu is not stupid, as long as he does a good job, the future is not comparable to that of a small shopkeeper.
Thinking of this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave thanked the young lady for her appreciation." ”
"Don't be overjoyed, it's extremely hard, to put it bluntly, it's an errand runner. But if you do a good job and have practiced it, I won't let others sit in this position of the big steward. Qin Ruwei looked at him and said, "If you have the ability, courage, talent and sincerity, I will not treat you badly!" ”
"The slave must be heartfelt to the young lady, if there is a heart to betray the master, the sky will thunder!" Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly raised his finger and swore.
"It's done, I didn't ask you to swear, what did you swear to do? You are still young now, don't be greedy for merit and profit, see and think more about everything, plan and then act, practice your skills first, don't think too much about other things, what should be given to you will not be missing you. Qin Ruwei taught again.
"The young lady's great kindness to the slave is remembered by the slave." Zhao Tiezhu raised his head and said: "My father and mother are taught like this, even if you don't give a money, you can't do the thing that can't help the master with a lost conscience." ”
What he said is not a lie, most of the farmers are simple, Qin Ruwei is not bad to the people below, and the monthly money given to Zhao Tiezhu is never less, and there are usually a lot of rewards, and now their family is much more prosperous than before.
To be a man is to be content and grateful, so every time Zhao Tiezhu goes home, his father and mother will teach him that he can't betray the master Yunyun, in fact, Zhao Tiezhu himself has made up his mind to be with Qin Ruwei for the rest of his life.
"Your mouth can speak." Qin Ruwei smiled.
Zhao Tiezhu scratched his head innocently, and said with a smile: "This, the slave is also telling the truth." ”
Qin Ruwei asked him a lot more words, and then let him go down to rest.
"Young lady, do you really want to lift the iron pillar?" Yang Liu changed a cup of jujube tea for Qin Ruwei.
"I gave him the opportunity, it depends on whether he can grasp it, I still say the same thing, this has the ability and courage, I am willing to lift." Qin Ruwei took a sip of tea and said, "I always have to cultivate henchmen, I have a pair of eyes alone, and I have to take care of everything, how can I take care of it?" ”
"Young lady, this is cultivating her own eyes and ears." Yang Liu was a little stunned.
"Now that I have become the county lady, I can't let my every move be as laissez-faire as before, not to mention anything else, I always have to take into account your grandfather's face. A woman can have her own dowry and private property, but as an official wife who comes out to show her face, she will be inferior, so I have to prepare this manpower. Qin Ruwei was a little helpless.
In these years, she is actually still harsh on women, and it is unacceptable to show her face, especially an official wife, can she still be as willful as before?
Since she can't, she must use people, cultivate henchmen and eyes, and replace her to walk around outside.
"I don't know when this kid will be trained." Yang Liu said with a smile.
"Look at it, if he has to be useful, he won't let me down." After Qin Ruwei finished speaking, she looked at her again and said, "You are the same, if you have any thoughts in your heart, you will plan for yourself in advance, explain in advance, you will think about getting married, I want to keep you for two more years." ”
Yang Liu's face turned red and said angrily: "The young lady is married herself, so she will use the slaves and maids as cutters." ”
Qin Ruwei said with a smile: "Glutinous rice is a pungent, her heart is not as fine as yours, in the future, she will be able to grow up and be a housekeeper and teach people, which is also her creation." As for you, your heart is careful and calm, depending on whether you want to be a housekeeper in the house, or a housekeeper outside to learn to manage the shop. ”
Yang Liu pursed her lips and said, "The slave maid is reluctant to leave the young lady's side. ”
"Actually, aside from the master and servant, if you look at it as an outsider, it is naturally better to be outside. Even if you seek grace and get rid of slavery in the future, the children you will give birth to in the future will not be slaves, and you will be able to take the examination examination or anything in the future. Qin Ruwei said lightly.
Yang Liu immediately said: "Since the slave maid has followed the young lady, what will happen in the future, they are all young lady's people, even if they are free from slavery, they all want to serve the young lady." ”
Qin Ruwei patted her hand and said: "I know that you are a good one, and now I can't leave you for a while, now the embroidery workshop is going to be opened, you will watch more in the future, and in the future, if you want to take charge of things, it will be easier." ”
There are two kinds of housekeepers, one is to serve in close quarters in the house, and the other is like this, helping to manage Qin Ruwei's dowry industry, becoming a family by himself, and having the opportunity to get rid of it is better.
"Slave and maid, young lady Xie." Yang Liu knelt down and kowtowed gratefully.
"Get up." Qin Ruwei screamed, but the corner of her eyes swept to the corner of the door A corner of the scarlet dress flashed, and asked her, "Xu Wangnian, how are they doing?" ”
"They don't have a second word, Xu Da has been following Manager Liu to move around and deal with things, and he is still peaceful. Xu Er is not very old, but he is also clever, so he is a little errand boy, as for Xu Wangnian, he is now in charge of the embroidery workshop outside, and I see that he is even more willing to do things in the house than in the house. Yang Liu looked at her and said, "Young lady, do you want him to be a steward?" ”
"Women's embroidery workshop, always not suitable for men to manage, now it has not opened but it's okay, but not in the future, after all, the people who come in and out are some young ladies and ladies, if something bad happens, it's not beautiful. For the time being, sink him first, and then talk about it when you see it in the future. Qin Ruwei touched the cup and walked along.
If a person can be calm and proper after ups and downs, then he is useful.
Yang Liu also understood what Qin Ruwei meant, and thought to herself that the young lady was not very old, and she was still from a farmer's family, but she was a servant, but she had some means. Xu Wangnian, and it depends on how his heart is, whether he can pass the guò test. R1154
