After dinner in the afternoon, Qin Sangen came over with the carpenter who wanted to take refuge!

When they entered the hall, the nurse was busy making tea and pouring water. The nurse stood aside after pouring the tea, and the second girl said to her: "Auntie! You go next door and see what Xiaolong is doing! If you help my husband in the school, you'll come back. If you read a book at your husband's, you can come back to him and tell him that there is something going on at home! ”

The family has to receive male guests, Xiaohu is not at home, the uncle and the second uncle are busy helping her family hire people to do the work of the farmland, and at present, there is only Xiaolong to take on the role of the man in the family!

Because Mr. Xiao Xiucai is going to participate in next year's township examination, he has been actively preparing for the exam recently. often asks Anzi and Xiaolong, who are at home, to replace him to lead the children to read, read, and explain, and Anzi and Xiaolong are also in the enlightenment teaching to the children, and they get the benefit of refreshing the old and learning the new. Therefore, Erya still supports them to do such a thing.

Later, Xiaolong came back with the nurse, and Erya was chatting about the carpenter's basic family situation.

"I heard that the master's family has been doing carpentry for generations? But the surname Lu? Erya asked as she motioned for Xiaolong to sit next to her!

The master sat at the table, his expression was a little restrained, his hands were tightly wrapped in the teacup, and when he heard Erya's question, he nodded. He replied in a low voice: "Our family has indeed been a carpenter for generations, but our surname is Jin and not Lu!" ”

I thought it was a descendant of Lu Ban, but it wasn't! Erya was a little disappointed, and then asked her doubts: "It stands to reason!" Since you are a carpenter for generations, your family should be very good, so you can't even raise a child in such a little disaster!? ”

Master Jin looked a little embarrassed, and said with a bitter face: "Our family's situation is a little special! My family says it's a carpenter. In fact, it is more practical to say that it is a craftsman! Our house is a wooden frame that specializes in making and repairing looms, spinning wheels, cotton twisters, and plows. We have to buy more and less new ones to repair, and the wages for repairs are very small, so our wages are not enough to sustain our family."

Hearing this, Erya was already ecstatic and couldn't control herself, so good! What I dream of is a craftsman who can make all kinds of machines! Those carpenters who are truly skilled and beautifully carved. In fact, it doesn't make much sense to herself, even if she wants to open a furniture workshop in the future, what she wants to do is the kind of simple, brisk overall home, sofa, flat bed or something, she doesn't plan to do any carved classical furniture here, so she can't have any advantage!

My heart was beating a little too fast, and my face was a little light. Not good! Er Ya quickly lowered her head and pretended to think, calming her beating heart and hiding her uncontrollable smile. Only then did he raise his head and ask casually: "Then you said that you want to take refuge in my family, how do you want to take refuge?" ”

Master Jin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that I haven't started asking yet! How can this owner seem to have already agreed?! But you can promise us to come. No matter how it is arranged, having a stable life is better than having a daily life like before!

Immediately answered Erya's question carefully: "The owner lady will do whatever she thinks is suitable!" I have no opinion! ”

Erya thought about it and asked, "I heard that there are other people in your family?" Who else will come with you? ”

Master Jin replied: "I also have grandfather, father, mother, uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, elder brother, second cousin, third cousin, my woman, my own brother, cousin, nephews and nieces, a total of more than 30 people, if you are willing to take in, they are probably willing to come!" ”

The second girl is staggering, and their family is really large, no wonder life is so difficult. "Do so many of you have no land? So how do you pay to feed these people? ”

Master Jin shook his head hurriedly. "We have tenant land to plant, but the rent is a bit heavy, and we can't leave much grain!"

The second girl nodded knowingly. "Oh! Then it's no wonder! ”

She looked at Xiaolong again and asked, "Xiaolong! This Master Jin has two children studying in the school in our town, and Director Shi said that both of them have learned well and are expected to be examined. For the sake of the children, Master Jin wanted to take refuge in our family. If it is for the sake of the future fame of his children, he cannot enter our house as a slave. Is there a better way for them to become part of our family without affecting their children's future? ”

The little dragon scratched his neck shyly. Shake your head!

Seeing that he didn't have any good solutions, Erya said to Master Jin: "Master Jin! We welcome you all to come. You have also seen our situation, what is rich and expensive, you don't want to think. But food and clothing can definitely be guaranteed, and if your children are really promising, we are willing to pay for it. It's just that you have to go back and discuss with your head of the family how to ensure the trust and common interests of both of us! You will benefit my house, won't you? ”

Master Jin nodded happily, when he just heard the ladies of the proprietor discuss that for the sake of the child's future future, he couldn't enter their house as a slave, he was very excited, and he just felt that it was definitely not bad to have an owner who thought about the other party like this! Yesterday's impulsive decision seems to be really right!

"The lady of the proprietor is right! Our craftsmen who travel abroad are about credibility, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive like this for generations! I can't tell the truth, but don't worry, since we have decided to recognize you as the master, we will definitely put the interests of the master's family first in the future and never betray the master's family.

My family's biggest hope is that our Jin family can produce a scholar, in the past, the family conditions did not allow it, but now that we have the opportunity, we will never ruin this wish for other reasons. Don't worry! ”

Erya nodded and said, "That's okay!" You go back and discuss it with your family, and anyone who wants to come can come! The rest of your family can also study in the town school, boys and girls alike! We don't have a saying here that girls can't study. ”

Master Jin said for a while, his heart was completely relaxed, and he smiled naturally at this time, and dared to gossip with the lady of the owner, so he said happily: "Yes! I saw it when I was in school, there are more girls than boys! At the beginning, after the child's mother and I brought the two children to your family, my grandfather and my father were worried that something would go wrong, so they had already urged me to come. I had no choice but to rush over this busy season of repairing looms, spinning machines, and cotton churning machines! I didn't expect that there are so many children in your family! Everyone is still clean and clean, eats well, lives well, and reads, even if you are young masters, you are just living such a life! ”

Erya smiled and said lightly: "These are just superficial things, what children really want is to be able to live a happy and carefree life under the protection of their parents!" ”

Master Jin boldly retorted: "No! My two children, when they were asked to follow, they cried and were unwilling, and now I come to pick them up, they don't go back, it's only been a long time, and they don't want their parents! ”

Qin Sangen couldn't help but interject on the side: "Master Jin, what you said is not right, the two sons of your family said to let you and their mother come here, but they didn't say that they don't want their father!" ”

Master Jin smiled, a little unsure of how to answer Qin Sangen's words. Erya saw that it was not early, and the matter was almost discussed, so she said to Master Jin: "Then I will give you fifty taels of silver first, and when you want to decide to come over, there is no entanglement." ”

Master Jin doesn't know how to do it! Refuse, there is really no money left at home, and if you want to come over, it is also a big problem that there is no entanglement on the road. Accept it, and feel a little ashamed, I haven't done anything yet, and I started to take so much money, and I feel a little embarrassed!

Qin Sangen persuaded beside him: "Take it!" It would be nice to do more for the owner in the future! ”

Master Jin seemed to have made up his mind at this time, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the lady of the owner, I will do more things, and I won't let your money go down the drain." ”

Er Ya took out a few whole silver, a dozen broken silver, handed it to Master Jin, and said, "You go back and tell your grandfather and your father clearly!" Come to my house, or do your old job, and pay your salary. I have a lot of things that I need you to do, what looms, spinning machines, I need a lot of them, you just have to come!

If you are skilled, I will give you a salary that you can't even imagine! If you like to ponder a new machine, I can also contribute money to subsidize it, and I will give a corresponding heavy reward according to the practical program of the machine! ”

Master Jin was a little afraid to accept so much silver, the most he had seen was five taels of silver, which was the price they paid to make a six-foot-six-wide loom, and they couldn't make a few in a year.

However, after listening to the words of the lady of the owner, his attention was not on the silver, but on the new machine.

"Lady of the proprietor, do you mean that you are willing to give us money to ponder a new machine?"

Erya nodded, "That's right!" Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Master Jin asked again: "Does the lady of the proprietor know that sometimes the money is spent, and it may not be done?!" ”

"This is normal, but in my case I will make a request first, say a hint, under normal circumstances, I can figure it out, I really can't figure it out, I won't blame you!"

Master Jin nodded and said, "Okay!" It's good to have the words of the owner's lady! As long as the proprietor asks us to do something, we should do our best. ”

Er Ya smiled and waved her hand, "Master Jin!" I understand what you mean, and I would love for your family to come. There are still a few empty courtyards in the town, you will let the Qin guards take you to see them later, they were originally prepared for a few gentlemen in the town, but they are used to living in the dormitory, and they don't want to stay alone in the empty house, so those courtyards are empty, which is estimated to be enough for you to live together! ”

Erya said and turned to Qin Sangen and said, "When you go back, tell the curator and ask him to arrange a guard to escort Master Jin all the way home!" You can take Master Jin back! It's not too early! ”

After Master Jin and Qin Sangen, and Erya Xiaolong said goodbye, they rushed back.

On the one hand, Erya is happy that he can get a craftsman, and many of the machines he wants are made by someone, and on the other hand, he is worried and sad for the little tiger who is far away in the north and doesn't know what the situation is! (To be continued)
