Seeing Mother Xu like this, Lan Xi was not annoyed, but the smile on the corner of her mouth did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and her phoenix eyes turned cold inch by inch, "I know that Mother Xu has a lot of things to do and is too busy, if Mother Xu feels that this matter is indeed too difficult, then it is inconvenient for me to be reluctant." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fangcao, you send one to Mother Xu, and by the way, go to find Mother Chen. ”

Lan Xi said lightly, and saw that Mother Xu couldn't care about the rules anymore, so she raised her head in shock, her eyes were wide open, and she seemed to stare at Lan Xi in disbelief.

"Mother Xu, what is this doing? Isn't it that you've been in charge of things for a long time, and you have forgotten what kind of attitude you should have towards your master? Who gave you the guts? "Liuyan has been in a bad mood recently, and his annoyance is out of nowhere, but now it's good, and it's a scolding at the moment, and he can take care of it.

Mother Xu reacted excitedly, hurriedly lowered her head, and said, "The old slave didn't dare, the old slave was surprised for a while, so he overstepped the rules, and asked Mrs. for forgiveness." ”

Lan Xi didn't pick up her stubble at all, as if she didn't wonder why she was surprised, so she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Fangcao on the side had already stepped forward and said, "Please! Mother Xu! ”

Mother Xu peeked at Lan Xi who was seated, and saw that she really didn't pay attention to her, and her heart became more and more worried, but she had no choice, so she had to stand up and go out with Fangcao.

Along the way, she tried her best to get something out of this girl, but she didn't want this girl to be young, but she didn't want to be a leaky person, no matter what she said to her, she just smiled and didn't say a word.

When she arrived at the needlework room, Fangcao really went to call Chen's mother, and as soon as Chen's mother left, Xu's mother's heart was as if she was being fried by fire, and her hair became hot.

Finally, when Chen's mother came back, she looked beaming, followed by two little girls, holding a bunch of things in their hands. Mother Chen asked people to take the things and sent the two little girls away respectfully, and Mother Xu pricked up her ears, and had to say something like "Please rest assured, Mrs., it will definitely live up to expectations".

This movement has long been seen by the people in the sewing room, and everyone has thought about it in their hearts.

Don't look at the small needlework room, but there are factional disputes. Mother Xu is good at management, and she is very happy with Mrs. Hou, and she has been promoted to become a steward all the way. Most of the people in this sewing room are knowledgeable about current affairs, and they all look forward to this Xu's mother. Of course, there are also those who are not in line with Xu's mother, among them, led by Chen's mother, and a few others who don't know how to meet and shoot horses, and they are also excluded.

The sewing room is always responsible for the needlework in the house, and although the masters have needlework around them, not every job is done in their own house. If it is handed over to the sewing room, it will be given additional money, and the more expensive the material and the more exquisite the practice, the more money will naturally be. Although there is no outside to do business and generally clearly marked the price, but as the master, the one who is strapped in his hands is naturally reluctant to get the needlework room to spend money, and the one who has plenty of money in his hand leaks some from his fingers, which is enough for them to chew. If you do it to your heart's content, the master will also be rewarded.

And these people who were excluded led by Chen's mother have never been able to do such good things. Every day, only some sewing is done, which is both numerous and miscellaneous, and there is no additional input.

And today, Chen's mother was called by the people around Mrs. Shizi, but when she came back, she was full of spring breeze, and the people around her had long been itching, and now when she saw that the people around Mrs. Shizi were gone, she no longer had any scruples. A swarm of people came forward to surround Chen's mother and asked in a gossiping voice.

"What is Madame looking for you to do?"

"I just sent you back, but it's someone from Qingpingju?"

"Seeing that you are in a good mood, could it be that something good is not possible?"

Mother Chen smiled from ear to ear, caught a glimpse of the corner of her skirt flashing by the door, raised her voice, and said with a smile, "Madame is looking for me to explain the work." Madame is kind, please allow the Hou Ye, this year everyone in our house will add an extra winter coat. However, Xu's mother said that they were too busy, so Mrs. asked me, we are free, I will go back, free, naturally free, just for Mrs. 's kindness, even if we are not free, we have to move out of space for her, right? But Madame said, this extra winter coat, we must hurry up the production, if it can be completed before the first day of the winter month, she will reward us with a tael of silver each. ”

At first, I didn't think anything of it, but when it came to rewarding money, the people around Chen's mother exclaimed, you know, their monthly money is only eight cents of silver! These two can be worth more than a month of busy work, what else is there to be unhappy about at the moment? Everyone is smiling.

But I don't want to, but the good news is not only this. Mother Chen groaned slightly, and then smiled and said, "Madame also said that if we can finish all these winter clothes before the first day of the winter month, and do a good job, she has a batch of private goods to be handed over to us to do." ”

"Bootlegged? What bootlegged? I heard that one of the lady's dowries is called Jinxiuzhuang, which is the most famous in the capital, isn't it doing the work there? ”

"Do you want to be beautiful? The set of dresses in Jinxiuzhuang is expensive, you just make some people's winter clothes, and you can't see whether it's good or bad, and the lady can use you? ”

"I don't have a chance on weekdays, so who else can I embroider with my hands?"

"Alright. Don't guess, that batch of work is not embroidery, but ordinary winter clothes. But it is Mrs. herself's own private money, and I don't know what to do it, but Mrs. said, when this batch of winter clothes is finished, we will probably be idle, but we might as well take this winter clothes back to do, the fabric and cotton are to her to receive, do a good job by the people around her to inspect the goods, as long as the fabric and cotton are right, then give money by piece, a piece of twenty wen! ”

"Twenty Wen?" When everyone heard this, they were surprised and delighted, a cotton coat is really nothing to those of them who are used to doing it, and they are afraid that they will swallow cotton privately, but if there are twenty wen for one piece, who will fight the idea of cotton?

If you are fast, you can make two pieces a day, that day is 40 Wen, and 10 days will be 400 Wen, which is half of their monthly money, and the most important thing is that it is an additional input. I don't know how much Mrs. Shizi has to do, if it is too much, before the Chinese New Year, they will not be fined to make a fortune. As a result, everyone was excited. After a while, the people sent by Lanxi to deliver the cloth and cotton came, and the people around Chen's mother were full of energy, and hurriedly helped to move things, just thinking that the winter clothes would be finished earlier, so that Mrs. Shizi would be satisfied, so that they could also hand over the private goods to them.

They were happy, but Mother Xu's heart seemed to have been put in boiling oil for two laps, and the people around her were all envious, jealous and hateful.

Mother Xu was even more unhappy in her heart, and in a blink of an eye, she reported the matter to the Shen family.
