Chapter 9 Writing a Letter
Qin Chen quickly finished writing a letter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Who else in our yard can write?" Qin Chen asked casually.
Qiu Ju thought for a while and replied: "Mama Tong's granddaughter Xing'er knows a little, and her father manages the accounts in Mrs. Tong's shop and has taught her some since she was a child!" ”
She thought that Qin Chen wanted someone to help copy the scriptures, but she didn't know that Qin Chen stopped talking after asking.
Qin Chen secretly thought to herself, Mama Tong is her mother's dowry grandmother, and now she has been taking care of Xiao Mudun, originally her mother Zhou also brought a few powerful housekeepers, after Zhou's death, several were sent away by Han and Liu, but this Tong Mama has a wooden temperament, and she doesn't care about anything, but she stays because of misfortune.
Now Mama Tong's son has been in charge of the shop where the Zhou family married, and her daughter Xing'er followed Mama Tong to serve in Chengbiju.
It is said that the Zhou family has a bit of face in Chang'an, when the family married the second daughter, the dowry was also relatively rich, and they married four shops, three of which were in Qinzhou, and one was in Chang'an City, it stands to reason that these dowries should now belong to Qin Chen and Qin Heng.
It's a pity that most of the income of the four shops over the years has been confiscated. Even the stewards have changed a few, but a few of the chief stewards are still from the original Zhou family, and they still care about the power of the Zhou family, and they don't dare to make too many mistakes.
The old lady Han's hand has not yet reached Chang'an, so at present, the only one that really belongs to Qin Chen is the shop in Chang'an. Every year, the person in charge sends the income into Qin Chen's hands, which is because Qin Chen still has some silver at the bottom of the box.
If something really happened to Qin Chen and Qin Heng, then the Zhou family had the right to take back the dowry, which was one of the reasons why the Han family hadn't killed their siblings yet.
No matter what, she has to cultivate a group of people of her own first,
"Go and call Apricot!" Qin Chen didn't raise his head and ordered,
Qiu Ju answered and went out, and after a while, she brought a shy little girl, wearing a blue cloth shirt, timid, but she looked thoughtful and pleasing to look at.
"Slave and maid, please give Miss Hello!" Apricot kowtowed respectfully.
"Get up!" Qin Chen smiled, she had already written the letter and was folding it into the envelope with her own hands.
Xing'er stood up steadily, but she still didn't dare to raise her eyes, everyone in Cheng Biju knew that Miss Four had a violent temper, and she was accidentally beaten out, and every time she was angry outside, the minions in the yard became her punching bag. Except for Qiu Ju and Ying'er beside her, she doesn't believe anyone.
After the death of his wife, several grandmothers were sent away, but her grandmother stayed, so the fourth lady still suspected that her grandmother had anything to do with other masters.
Apricot wrung the handkerchief in her hand uneasily.
Qin Chen didn't know what she was thinking, he looked at her and smiled gently: "I heard that you are a literate person, from now on, you will serve in my room!" ”
Apricot looked up at her in surprise.
Qiu Ju was also stunned.
Qin Chen saw that Xing'er was more shocked than surprised, and couldn't help but be confused, she knew that although this Xing'er was the granddaughter of Mama Tong, she was not serving the young master personally, and calling her today was actually to give a grace, and said in the distance, everyone knows that the girls raised by Miss Chang's side are a little decent, and it is easy to talk about others if they marry in the future.
Recently, from a second-class girl to a first-class girl, there are a lot more monthly cases. The second-class girls in the Qin Mansion are all five hundred yuan a month, and the first-class girls have one or two silver, which is twice as much.
Almost the little girl in the house squeezed her head and wanted to be a big girl for Miss. There are also several kinds of monthly cases for big girls, such as Ying'er and Qiu Ju, who are decent, the master will give an extra one or two, as for the weekday reward or something, that's another story.
If Xing'er becomes a young lady's side, it will be at least one or two silver a month. Although the fourth lady has a bad personality, she is very generous to those who are close to her.
Xing'er should immediately kneel down and be grateful, but she still looked at Qin Chen with a look of surprise.
Qin Chen had to reflect on whether there was something she didn't know about.
Qin Chen glanced at Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju was anxious, and immediately shouted at Xing'er: "Silly girl, why don't you quickly kneel down Miss Xie's kindness!" ”
Xing'er reacted at this time, her eyes were watery, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, the slave must be cautious, never cause trouble to Miss, the slave and maid are absolutely obedient to Miss's order!" The apricots kowtowed like pounded garlic, and tears slipped out.
Listening to Xing'er's words of urgency to express her loyalty, Qin Chen was stunned, and some sporadic memories in his mind churned out.
I finally understood what was going on.
She sighed and raised her hand to signal her to get up, "Come on, I know that you and your grandmother are heartfelt, otherwise I wouldn't let her serve by Xiao Mudun's side, don't think about it anymore, follow Qiu Ju by my side and be on an errand!" ”
Apricot burst into tears and choked up and nodded.
Qin Chen was satisfied, and instructed Qiu Ju to take Xing'er down to settle down, and let the little girl continue to grind and prepare to copy the scriptures.
It is good to copy scriptures, to pray for the blessing of deceased loved ones.
Qin Chen's eyes were straight, he sat like Mount Tai, and began to write scriptures.
When Qiu Ju settled down, lifted the curtain and came in again, she saw that Qin Chengong had already written many pages, and then looked at the smooth appearance of Qin Chen's pen, she was secretly surprised in her heart, the stroke was like playing Tai Chi, a stroke of the book, very coherent, especially the handwriting, although Qiu Ju couldn't understand what it meant, but they were about the same size, chic and elegant.
Yes, chic and elegant, that's the feeling of beauty.
When it was time for dinner, Qin Chen personally copied the scriptures.
"You put it away!" She confessed to Qiu Ju,
Qiu Ju took it but said in surprise: "Miss, don't you send it to the old lady?" "Give it to the old lady and pay the lady on a business before you can go out.
Qin Chen picked a smile and handed the pen to Xing'er to clean up, "Did she say she wanted me to send it?" Qin Chen already knew the original owner's ability to write, and when she entered the study today, she took a few glances at the leftover book and paper from before, and she couldn't bear to look at it directly, and she couldn't describe Qin Chen's perception.
Since the old lady gave her such a punishment, someone must have made a fuss about it, and she waited.
Miss has an idea, Qiu Ju didn't ask more.
One afternoon, Xing'er did her best, rushing to do any work, and Qin Chen was also up to her.
After Mama Tong took care of the little wooden pier and slept at night, she also came over to thank Qin Chen in person, Qin Chen comforted her for a while, and asked a lot about her mother Zhou's life.
Early the next morning, Qin Chen personally came to the second room with the letter, and asked for the second uncle Qin Xianzhi.
The old lady said that she was not allowed to go out until she finished copying the scriptures, but she turned a blind eye and came to block Qin Xianzhi early in the morning.
"Second uncle, my letter has been written, and the second uncle said to the mother-in-law guarding the door, I want to go out!" Qin Chen looked at Qin Xianzhi with his apricot eyes open, looking very eager.
Qin Xianzhi couldn't cry or laugh, his eyes fell on the letter she was holding in her hand, and he said: "Give your letter to the second uncle to see if you have said anything wrong, so that your grandfather will say that no one will teach you!" ”
Qin Chen was a little unhappy on his face, but he still slowly handed the letter to Qin Xianzhi.
Qin Xianzhi took the letter and smiled gently at her: "Good boy, you are waiting here, the second uncle will also give your grandfather's family a book, you can send it together!" ”
Qin Chen nodded, looking like you were about to write.
Qin Xianzhi laughed and entered the study.
Qin Chen looked at the ignorance on his back and retracted his face, secretly amused, Qin Xianzhi must have seen what she wrote, so that he could write his letter.
She curled the corners of her mouth.
What awaits you is your letter!
