Today is the day of the monthly order, and the house has always been the personal maid of each master to retrieve the monthly order and distribute it to others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Lan didn't have a personal maid by her side, so she temporarily put Qiuyun in charge of this matter.
Qiuyun went to the account room today to get the silver back, and then asked Chunhua to notify the maid in the courtyard to collect the monthly example.
Ning Xiang, Rong'er, Ah Mei, and Qinglan were notified to come to Qiuyun here to receive the moon case.
Qiuyun looked at them as if he were his sister.
Ning Xiang went over, and Qiu Yun handed her the five hundred texts, and then asked her to make a mark.
Ah Mei thought to herself, it turns out that the ancients also signed to receive salaries, but few people could write, so they made marks.
Qiuyun looked at her and said with a smile: "Ah Mei, come and get your monthly order, this is your first month's harvest." ”
Ah Mei happily stepped forward to receive her monthly example.
The four of them came out together, and they were all very happy.
Ah Mei thought to herself, how can she go out of the house and meet her mother and younger brother.
If you really can't get out, as long as you can get the money into your mother's hands.
She asked Ning Xiang, "Can we go out of the house and go home to see?" ”
Ning Xiang replied: "I also asked, the maids in the house have nothing to do, and they are generally not allowed to leave the house." If you go out, you can take leave with your master or the housekeeper. If we want to go out, as long as Miss agrees, or we can talk to Sister Qiuyun. ”
Ah Meicai was happy again: "Then let's try to take leave with Sister Qiuyun." ”
Ning Xiang said: "I've had a lot of errands recently, so I don't have time to go out. You can talk to Sister Qiuyun. ”
Mei said, "Yes. ”
Ah Mei and Sister Qiuyun took leave, and then went home.
She returned to the familiar courtyard, and when she saw that the door was open, she went in.
Saw my mother doing needlework at the bedside.
She called softly, "Mother, I'm back." ”
Wang Leyi looked up and saw that it was Ah Mei, so she stood up happily and hugged Ah Mei.
Ah Mei smiled: "Mother, won't I come back soon, and it's not that I can't see him." ”
Le Yi's eyes were red: "My mother is afraid that you will be offended in the Zhou Mansion." ”
Ah Mei said: "No, I'm fine inside, you can rest assured." Listen to me, I was selected to be a maid in the eldest lady's courtyard, and let me be a second-class maid, and there is a monthly case of 500 wen a month. Although I am only a second-class maid, the young lady arranged for me to serve in the study, and now I am still with me, and now it is very good, you can rest assured. ”
Le Yi was happy: "Really? Then I'm much more relieved. You've been with your father since you were a child, and you like to read and write, so your wish can be fulfilled. ”
Ah Mei was happy, it turned out that Ah Mei also liked to read and write in the past, that was really crooked.
Le Yi instructed again: "Serving by the side of the young lady, no more than anything else, you must be cautious." ”
Ah Mei said: "I know, I just want to earn money to supplement my family, and I will pay attention to it." ”
As she spoke, she took out the money from her clothes: "Mother, you take this money and take good care of your brother." You don't have to worry about life at home, I will work hard. ”
Le Yi looked at it and handed it back to Ah Mei: "Ah Mei, you take it, you need more money outside, the family is fine, with your uncle's help, there is nothing in life." ”
Ah Mei handed it to her mother again: "Mother, you can take it, I spend very little in the Zhou Mansion, so I don't need so much." Usually, the maid's food, clothing, housing and transportation are paid by the public government, and you can't spend your own money, so you can take it. My brother still has to grow up, so you should take good care of him. ”
Le Yi had to take it. She is very relieved that her daughter is very sensible, and she can rely on her daughter as her own.
Po came back from playing outside, saw his sister, and rushed over.
Ah Mei hugged her younger brother: "Do you miss your sister?" ”
Ah Bao said loudly: "Of course I want to, sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want Ah Bao." ”
Ah Mei said: "Of course I think about it, of course I miss my Ah Bao." ”
My brother is only six years old, so cute and naughty.
Ah Mei took out the pastries that she brought back for her brother from her baggage, and Ah Po happily went to the side to eat them.
Ah Mei chatted with her mother about things at home, and when she saw that it was not too early, she said goodbye and went home.
She walked to Zhou's house, feeling very happy, feeling that she could finally make money with her own ability, she could help her family, and let her family live a good life because of her own efforts, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
She thought that although there was no shortage of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the house, she still needed to have a special account book, which would be much more convenient. I don't know if there will be account books sold in the shops in ancient times, forget it, go and ask and try your luck.
She heard that there was a larger shop "Duobao Pavilion", which specializes in pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so she came to Duobao Pavilion.
Mei came to Duobao Pavilion.
When the guy saw that it was a girl, although he was a little surprised, he also hurried over to greet him: "Girl, what do you need?" ”
Ah Mei said, "Do you have an account book here?" ”
The guy laughed, "Yes, yes, but what do you need the ledger for, girl?" ”
Ah Mei couldn't help but get angry, and barely suppressed her anger: "Then bring it to me." ”
The guy turned into the back hall, but muttered: "A little girl's family, she actually wants an account book, and she doesn't let anyone say it." ”
Zhao Zhizheng, the owner of Duobao Pavilion, was talking with a guest in the room, and when he heard the guy muttering there, he asked, "What are you muttering there?" ”
When the guy saw that it was the boss, he hurriedly said, "There is a little girl outside, and she actually wants to buy an account book." ”
The guest smiled and said, "It's not uncommon for a little girl to buy a book. ”
Zhao Zhi said: "Okay, you go and say hello." ”
The guy went out with the ledger.
The guest said, "What do you think about the recent events?" ”
Zhao Zhi said slowly: "The change of officials, how can we and other small people be able to influence it?" I'm a businessman, and no matter who comes to power, I always have to lubricate the relationship so that the business can continue. ”
The guest said: "You also know that you are a businessman, you really don't look like the boss of this 'Duobao Pavilion', here is the fragrance of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you don't care about the taste of copper coins." ”
Zhao Zhi said: "This is a bad statement, without the copper smell of this body, this Duobao Pavilion can't last long, haha." ”
He looked at Zhou Lang, and it turned out that the guest on the other side was Zhou Lang, the eldest young master of the Zhou Mansion.
Zhao Zhi said: "Zhou Lang, what about you, what are your plans?" Do you have any big plans to show? ”
Zhou Lang didn't speak, just looked at the fire in front of him. The fire was blazing, and it seemed to make his heart burn too. Years of hard study and study tours have also given him the ambition to take the world as his own responsibility. Although there was no opportunity to actually participate, it also made him pay a lot of attention to the current situation and have his own thoughts.
