171 There is a difference between the master and the servant
After Chang Qing and the others left, Mu Qianlan asked, "Du Yue, do you know how to do needlework?" ”
"Girl, I can only do simple things, and I can cut clothes, but I can't embroider or anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Du Yue is honest, she won't know anything, and she doesn't hide it at all."
Mu Qianlan nodded, too, they are all children of the Zhuang family, who can not embroider from elementary school? That's all the kung fu that only girls from big families have when they are idle all day long. The girl from the village family is even difficult to live, where is there such leisure and leisure? Not to mention that I don't know how many calluses there are on my hands that have been used to rough work since I was a child, no matter how good the thread and material are in my hands, I am afraid that they will be scratched.
"It's okay, I'm not looking for someone who specializes in embroidery, just be able to do needlework. Starting tomorrow, in addition to helping the two sisters-in-law cook in the stove, you will be responsible for cutting clothes. Mu Qianlan felt that now that he had spread out the stall, he couldn't be the same as before, and in the future, the rules that big families have, he should also have here, so it is better to start from now.
"Yes, girl, I see."
"Last night I saw a piece of material in my house, it was made of fine linen, and the color was also light, and I looked at it, and you didn't even have a piece of clothing, so I simply rewarded you for making clothes to wear." Mu Qianlan looked at the clothes on Du Yue's body, this should be her best clothes, although they were very neatly packed, they were obviously very old, but they were not broken.
When Du Yue heard this, she was a little embarrassed, but Sister-in-law Tian probably saw her shyness, and said with a smile: "When we came, there was no girl with such a decent dress, and now we are wearing all the clothes that the girl has rewarded." Follow the girl in the future, and you will know that the girl is good. ”
Sister-in-law Tian's words made Du Yue a little uncomfortable, no matter how she said it, she was also a girl from a good family, and her brother was still a showman, but now he was a slave like them. But after thinking about it in a flash, she figured it out again, she is indeed a girl from a good family, but the sister-in-law in front of her does not seem to be a woman from an ordinary family, but she is afraid that she was also from a good family before, and now she is not the same as a slave? What others do is naturally done by themselves, don't say that there is no girl, I'm afraid that I can't even save my life now.
Mu Qianlan looked at the change in the expression on Du Yue's face, but she was very satisfied, to say that Du Yue didn't have a little pimple in her heart, she felt that it was unrealistic, but the most important thing for people is not to be able to recognize their identity and grasp their position? It would be best if Du Yue could think of it.
"And your brother's clothes will be made by you, and you two brothers and sisters will make two sets of clothes first." Mu Qianlan said lightly.
But for Du Yue, this sentence was like a storm in her heart, she originally followed the girl, just thinking that she could fill her stomach, but the girl also gave herself and her brother silver last night, eighty taels per person, not a small amount. That's it, but now the girl has seen her shabby clothes and rewarded the material, which is the girl's kindness. You know, their brother and sister haven't even signed the deed of sale yet, the girl can be treated like this, with such a master, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
"Du Yue Xie girl's reward!" Du Yue respectfully kowtowed to Mu Qianlan and thanked him.
Mu Qianlan was a little surprised, this girl is really strange, she gave them the silver last night, and she didn't see her so solemn thanks, but since she did this, she really regarded herself as the master.
Mu Qianlan didn't let her be exempted, but waited until she finished kowtowing before letting her get up.
But the fourth grandmother looked a little uncomfortable, this good girl, just for a piece of material, she has to kowtow to Qianlan, this is really - if it spreads, others still don't know how to say that Qianlan is a practicer, do you want to persuade Qianlan?
Although Mu Qianlan saw the expression of the fourth grandmother who wanted to speak and stopped, she didn't say anything, and only after she explained what she wanted to explain to Du Yue, Sister-in-law Tian and others, she asked Sister-in-law Tian to take Du Yue down to settle down.
Waiting for Du Yue and Sister-in-law Tian to leave, Mu Qianlan smiled and said to the fourth grandmother: "Fourth grandmother, do you think that she kowtowed to me, but I didn't let her be exempted from the courtesy, a bit too much?" ”
"It's not that I think it's too much, it's just that I'm not used to it. It's just a piece of material, isn't it? Qianlan, we are all from a bitter family, and when it turned out, we were similar to this girl, does it have to be like this? The fourth grandmother was entangled for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Fourth grandma, you may feel a little uncomfortable and not used to it. When I used to feel the same, I felt the same discomfort, but after seeing more and more, I gradually got used to it. She didn't kowtow to me for a piece of material. You don't know, this girl is also a girl from a scholarly family, and she is also a little arrogant, and now she is willing to kowtow to me, which shows that she is willing to recognize me as the master. I saved their brothers and sisters, and gave them food and clothing, shouldn't I kowtow? ”
The fourth grandmother didn't know what had happened before, but when she heard Mu Qianlan say this, she felt that there was still some truth, so she smiled and said, "If that's the case, it should be." ”
"This kind of change, not only do I have to get used to it, but you also have to get used to it, and Luo'er and Mu will have to adapt to their identity change in the same way. There will be more and more subordinates in our family, and those who are masters cannot be the same as those who are subordinates. I know you don't want to hear this, you are a kind-hearted person, you pity the poor and the weak, and you feel sorry for your subordinates. But I still have to say that it's good for us to feel sorry for others, but sometimes, we give too much, which will inevitably make some people unable to recognize their own position and feel that these are what we should give. In case someone does something that is a bully, it will be too late for us to regret it. Mu Qianlan looked at the fourth grandmother and said word by word.
Now, except for the Tian family and the Huang family, the other people are all from Liushu Village, and they are not his own subordinates, so Mu Qianlan does not plan to use the standards of subordinates to demand them, at most, they are just their own villagers, and they are the people they hired to help. But since the three of Changqing and Du Ming's brothers and sisters followed, it was different, there were more and more people around him, if he didn't set up the rules, it would inevitably be despised. When the time comes, what should I do if the master is not a master and a servant? Isn't it going to be a mess?
The fourth grandmother didn't understand why Mu Qianlan thought so, but since Mu Qianlan said so, she must have her own reasoning, but she still didn't figure it out.
"Qianlan, they are also from a bitter family, we are having a better time now, shouldn't we help them?"
"It's not that we shouldn't help them, but we shouldn't have no bottom line and don't ask for help to them, in this world, no one owes anyone, it's not that people who can't live a good life are justified, if they can solve the problem of eating by their own labor, then they shouldn't wait for people to help, but should solve it by themselves. Shengmi Endou Mi Chou, this truth, the fourth grandmother, you should know better than me. Although Lin Yuxiu understands the thoughts of the fourth grandmother, she still has to correct the thoughts of the fourth grandmother today.
In their family, the people in the Lord can only be the fourth grandmother, so whether the fourth grandmother can figure it out determines whether the family can be safe in the future.
"Qianlan, maybe you're right, I'll think about it slowly, and I can always figure it out. It's just that Changchuan and Qiangwen they-" The fourth grandmother said with some hesitation, will these people be like the girl who came today in the future? In that case, she wouldn't have the face to go to Willow Village again.
After listening to the words of the fourth grandmother, Mu Qianlan laughed, and thought that what was making the fourth grandmother so embarrassed, it turned out to be this.
"Fourth grandmother, don't worry about this, no matter how confused I am, I won't do such a thing. They have helped my fellow villagers, they have helped me when I was in trouble before, and now that my life is better, I thought that I could pull them, so I hired them to help me. If they have to use it, it is the person I will rely on in the future, how can it be the same as the person who sells himself? ”
Hearing Mu Qianlan's words, the fourth grandmother was finally relieved, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. That's good, if Qianlan really treats the villagers like subordinates, I'm afraid that she will be poked in the back by the people of Willow Village in the future, how can she not see Mu Qianlan come to this point, if she finds that Qianlan has such thoughts, even if she is complained by Qianlan, she must persuade her.
At this time, the fourth grandmother completely forgot that Mu Qianlan was not from Willow Village, but just a foreigner who temporarily settled in Willow Village. This also makes people have to admit that Mu Qianlan is very successful in Liushu Village, not only the fourth grandmother, but also many other people, now treat her as her own person, not a foreigner. No one remembers that Mu Qianlan is just a stranger who has only been in Willow Village for two years!
Of course, the two brothers and sisters who played a big role in this were the four grandmothers and Mutou Luo'er, if it weren't for Mu Qianlan's wholehearted devotion to them as his own family, it would not be easy for Mu Qianlan to be treated as his own by the people of Willow Village.
"Sister, in the future, will Xiaohua and the eldest girl kowtow to you when they see them?" Luo Er was not very old, but she was very smart, and she quickly thought of this question.
Didn't there be such a thing before? Why is my sister a little different this time?
"Silly Luo'er, naturally not, for no reason, what am I asking people to kowtow to me for? That is, I rewarded her today, and she will kowtow to me, and if I give Daya and Xiaohua two rewards in the future, they should also thank me. Don't say it's me, it's the grace given by you and the fourth grandmother, and it's their duty to kowtow too. Mu Qianlan said to Luo'er with a smile.
Luo'er is still young, and it is easy to start teaching these things now, if you don't teach now, when you enter the capital in the future, I am afraid that you will be laughed at. Since Mu Qianlan is her sister, it is destined that Luo'er will not live the same life as the girls in Willow Village in the future, and these are what she must adapt to.
Obviously, in Luo'er's small head, she can't adapt to and accept such a situation, she doesn't understand, in the past, couldn't she play with Xiaohua and Daya together? Why would my sister say this, she is the master, and Xiaohua and Daya are girls?
"Sister knows, you are not used to it now, but when it comes, you will get used to it, just get used to it. Luo'er, since I am your sister, I will not let you live such a mediocre life here for the rest of your life, there is your future in the future, you have to work hard! Mu Qianlan touched Luo'er's head and said with doting.
Although Luo Er didn't understand what Mu Qianlan meant, she finally nodded solemnly and said, "Sister, I know!" ”
The fourth grandmother was a little frightened when she heard it next to her, what did Qianlan mean by these words? What kind of girl is she going to train Luo'er to be in the future? Do you want to be the same as the girl from a big family? Ke Luo'er, a wild boy-like character, can she become the woman in Qianlan's imagination?
I have to say, the fourth grandmother is right, this is indeed what Mu Qianlan meant, since she is a relative of Luo'er and Mu, she will not wronged her relatives, she worked hard to make money and work hard, in order to let these two children live a good life? However, she did not let Luo'er have to be a woman like everyone's ladies, she would not kill Luo'er's nature, but would give Luo'er the best environment to grow up healthily.
"Okay, okay, it's not early, Qianlan, you're tired for a day, go back to your room early to rest." Luo'er, don't mess with your sister, your sister will get up early tomorrow to work in the fields. The fourth grandmother hasn't thought about it very clearly, what Qianlan said today, in the eyes of the fourth grandmother, is plausible, and she thinks it makes sense, but she feels that it doesn't seem to be reasonable.
She was now worried that Mu Qianlan would say more things that she couldn't figure out, so she simply opened her mouth to urge Mu Qianlan to go back to the room, and when Qianlan returned to the room, she would have time to think about it carefully.
Although Luo'er was a little unwilling, she still had to listen to the words of the fourth grandmother, besides, although she was young, she also knew that her sister was very busy and tired all day, and it was already good to be able to play with her for a while, she couldn't let her sister delay the rest time to play with her.
"Sister, you go back and rest, let's play tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll go to the field with you. Xiao Luo'er felt that her idea was very good, if she followed her sister to the field, wouldn't she be able to be with her sister all day long?
"Don't go, those things your sister planted are expensive, what if you step on them? You stay at home with me, and I'll teach you how to do needlework. The fourth grandmother said hurriedly.
Luo'er is a baby, but she has a wild personality, since Qianlan wants to train her to be a lady of everyone, she can only restrain her temperament. I don't know how much time it will take to correct the dolls that have been raised in the wild.
For what Mu Qianlan wants to do, the fourth grandmother will never stop it, but will do her best to help.
Luo'er was very disappointed, but she knew that she couldn't resist the fourth grandmother, so she could only reluctantly follow the fourth grandmother back to the room to rest.
Mu Qianlan looked at Luo'er who was muttering a little mouth, and couldn't help laughing, Luo'er followed to the field It's nothing, but a child is a child, if he goes to help, wouldn't he want to make trouble on his back? It's better to let her stay at home safely. (To be continued.) )
