Chapter 225: The Furnace Returns

Zhao Fengyun still didn't seem to be at ease, and asked cautiously: "The lady of the owner, this gentleman who knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is very easy to find, why don't you go to find a gentleman with formal rules and regulations?" ”

Erya shrugged with a smile and said: "I don't want to train everyone in calligraphy, painting or piano and chess, just let them have an interest, can play and play, why bother to find a master who is too professional, if the master is too demanding for the children, forcing them to bother to learn, it is contrary to my original intention." ”

Qinqi, calligraphy and painting were originally used to soothe the mood and express feelings as a form of entertainment, but in the end, they became the ability of those who pursue fame and fortune to show off, publicize, be arrogant, and show off. Therefore, no matter what era Erya is in, she does not regard these things as the same thing, what she pursues and yearns for is to do her best to promote the development of the productive forces of this era. Because of the development of the general environment, more poor people have jobs, money, food, and clothing, and they want poverty to be just a comparison with the rich, rather than the poverty in the real sense of the current lack of food and clothing.

Therefore, she just met Zhao Fengyun today with this skill, and she didn't want him to waste it, so she thought of letting him teach other children. But she never thought of looking for those so-called masters who relied on these to make a name, make a face, and eat! She would like to invite overseas scientists who can make steam engines, engines, glass, rubber products, and other products that promote the great progress of productivity to teach these children in their family, but alas! I can't ask for it!

After saying this, Erya asked again that the child lived in a group here, and the conditions were not as good as those in the capital. Are you used to it?

Zhao Fengyun smiled shyly and replied to the lady of the owner: "It's good to be here!" In the past, we were not allowed to stay together in that place. As long as there is a little bit that is not done, you will be whipped. When I first came there, I was always crying, and the people there whipped me, and when I was done, I was shut up in a little dark room, and I was not given food or drink. I didn't get through until I couldn't get through it before anyone came. Ask me, 'Will you still cry later?' I said, 'Don't cry!' The man let me out and said that if I cried again, I would be locked up. Never think of it. Since then, I've never cried, not even to cry secretly. When I got here, I was able to play, study, and sleep with my older brothers and sisters. I just feel so happy. I am no longer afraid of being alone. It's really fun! ”

Er Ya looked at the child, although he smiled very shyly, but he could see the joy from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest sadness. This child suffers when he is young, and others may find it very uncomfortable to look at, but it may not be a good thing for his future.

While they were talking, women from the prairie came in groups of two carrying large buckets of water. It is estimated that it is necessary to mop the floor and scrub the tables, shelves, and stools that are moved outdoors. Now these women of different races can speak simple Chinese and understand better. Even if sometimes the speaker speaks a little fast, they can understand it. They put the bucket at the door of the workshop and bowed to Erya, using the highest standard salute of the grassland aliens. Er Ya pretended not to understand and accepted, if they would not be panicked, they would be so stabbed and suffered, Er Ya felt that he did not deserve such respect from them, so he had to pretend not to understand, and forget about the past in a daze. Didn't the predecessors say it! It's hard to get confused!

Erya also gave them the etiquette of the Han people here, and asked a few of the women who followed Xiaohu back to the grassland with a smile: "Do you want your children to have been gone for so long?" ”

Du Qi shook his head, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said in a stiff Chinese dialect: "I don't want to!" They'll be back soon. ”

It would be a mistake to say that they have no affection for their children. Although their predecessors had also lived in this land, since they were driven out of the Central Plains, their descendants have had an unspeakable fear of the Han people in the Central Plains. In their eyes, the Han people are more cunning than wolves, and they are also good at patience, and they know how to disguise, and they can corrode, devour, and completely crush you step by step from the heart of people. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they can not come to the Central Plains as much as possible. But they were able to come with them for the sake of their children, which shows what kind of weight children already occupy in their hearts.

In the grasslands, for children without parents, property is taken over by close relatives such as grandparents and uncles. Children will also be fed and fed, and when they grow up, they will basically become proletarian and jobless slaves or vassals. It will not be like the Han people here, in order to swallow the orphans' family property as a matter of course, they try to drive the children away and abuse them to death. To put it bluntly, it's a typical and a son! A hypocrite who wants to set up a torii.

The above is about children without parents, although they can live in the grassland, but their later lives will be more miserable. The widow of the steppe, on the other hand, had a much better fate than the orphan, and her dead husband's property could be used as her dowry, and if she married her husband's brother, her status after remarriage would not be lowered, but because she had more dowry, she would be more valued by her husband than her original spouse, who had no dowry or had little dowry.

Having said all this, I just want to prove that these women love their children very much, but the way they express their love is different from that of the Central Plains mother. Erya has always been moved by these women who gave up the freedom of the grassland for the sake of their children and came to this world that shackles women.

The women in front of them said that they didn't want to, and they could see from their eyes and demeanor that they really didn't want to, but it was not hypocritical politeness. Because Erya understands the choices and sacrifices they make for the sake of their children, she will not misunderstand their deep maternal love because of this.

She smiled and asked, "Do you want the child to help you bring something back from your hometown?" ”

"Yes! I want a shelf to weave tapestries, and I wonder if they can bring it to me? ”

"I also want to bring my usual woven jacket shelf, and I wonder if it's still there?"

"When I got married, my grandfather made me a cowhide drum, and I was in a hurry to bring it when I came, I don't know if they can bring it this time?"

Although their speech is still a little stiff and difficult to understand, Erya has heard too many foreigners speak with incorrect Chinese, and of course she can understand what they say. The more she listened, the more excited she became, oops! Why did you never think of making tapestries and carpets?! After so much time of wasting these technical experts here, the wool was piled up in the warehouse for months because it didn't knit sweaters. It's a terrible thing!

It's good that these women haven't forgotten about jì! There is another business that can be started for a living. This time, she wants to give the opportunity to those people with foreign surnames whose lives are really difficult, and no longer short-sighted on her family and relatives. In fact, they are already living a good life, maybe they can't look down on such hard work and meager handiwork! Otherwise, how can there be a slight lack of dissatisfaction, complaints, and even want to be hostile to yourself?!

As soon as Erya was happy, she was anxious to go back and make plans. Because there are so many things to do, if you don't have a plan, it's messy. It is not conducive to future management, if the management cannot keep up and is full of loopholes, then the previous efforts and sweat will be in vain.

When she was about to turn the corner at the intersection of town, she saw a large carriage of men. The carts were flatbed carriages, dragging a few very strange large objects. The leader is a well-known guard hired by Erya. Erya hurriedly adjusted the horse's head and ran towards them, and sure enough, Jiang Shubing came back with the person who sent the refining furnace and refining pot.

Erya frowned, and asked Jiang Shubing, who was grinning at herself, with anger: "Why didn't you know to send the message back before you came back?" I wonder if I will be in a hurry if there is no news at home for so long?! ”

Jiang Shubing replied blankly and innocently: "It's passed!" We passed the day before we left! ”

The leading guard also hurriedly said: "The lady of the proprietor! We did pass the message, and it was the letter entrusted to us by the dart board! ”

The guards of the Erya family were originally invited from the World Dart Bureau, and the World Dart Bureau is worthy of its name. This dart game is divided into five parts: one is the guards of the ordinary caretaker's home, just like these invited by the Erya family; One is the dart guarding the ordinary caravan, and there is no danger or difficulty in the country; One is like Li Dart's head, a high-risk caravan dart on the border; One is the bodyguard of the river and sea caravan, like a sailor; One is a dart for high-risk items that are used to carry money banks and individuals.

There are branches in all parts of the world, and the exchange of information is particularly fast, convenient and safe. People who go out basically go around the world to convey messages to each other. If the guard said that it was spreading news from all over the world, then it must have been transmitted. And the world must have helped to spread the news, but now he has not received the news, so it can only be the person who specializes in asking for letters and sending letters everywhere, that is, Hongguo's husband-in-law, has a problem.

Er Ya turned around with a blue face, took the team of people and carriages in front, and walked back. Jiang Shubing and the guard looked at the lady of the owner without saying a word, but their expressions were extremely strict and cold, and they were also very uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say a word, but just followed silently.

Erya asked them to put their things in the small courtyard that had been built for the time being, and asked Shi Jingxuan to arrange for the person who sent the things to wash, eat, and rest, and she herself turned back and prepared to take the silver ticket to pay the person who delivered the goods.

When she got home, she first went into the basement, opened the special camera obscura, took out a small stack of silver tickets, counted enough, put them in the hidden bag of her clothes, and went out of her room. In the yard, I saw the nurse busy cleaning the yard, which is usually cleaned twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening before the sun goes down. She asked the nurse: "In the past month, has Hongguo's husband and wife explained that the person sent by my family to buy the refining furnace is coming back?" ”

The nurse shook her head: "I don't know about this!" When you are not at home, he will give all the news to the big boss, and when you come back, he will tell you. He would never tell me that! ”

Erya nodded and did not speak. When they were not at home, all the news was given to the uncle, which she told before leaving. So there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the leakage of this news is a big problem. Er Ya is not going to take it lightly! (To be continued......)
