"Little girl again? What's so good today? Aunt Cui smiled, smiled with a face of chrysanthemums, and her face was full of wrinkles. Looking at the eyes of the skinny little girl in front of her, it was like looking at a God of Wealth.

Wu Ya Mingzhu had just celebrated her 12th birthday the day before yesterday, but her thin and small figure looked a head shorter than ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old girls, but she was better than fair skin and clear eyebrows. There are two small pear vortices at the corners of his mouth when he laughs, which looks particularly festive. The eyes are crooked without smiling, and the face is full of childishness. At this time, she smiled a little heartlessly: "Well, after Eniang's medicine is finished, I will weave a few more chains, thinking of exchanging some silver money with Aunt Cui, and buying some more rice to go home by the way." As he spoke, he lowered his head very shyly, rubbed the stone slab under his feet unconsciously with his toes, and added in a low voice, "The rice at home is gone." ”

"Well, I see, your mother's body bones are better, right?" Aunt Cui was stunned by the little girl's words, this stupid child, it's too heartless, why do you say anything. Aren't you afraid that I will crush him because of this? However, this is just talking, if she really has to do it, she still lacks the guts. Looking at the pale and white clothes on her body, although there were patches but clean and decent clothes, her heart suddenly became sour, sighed, and took Xiao Mingzhu's hand, which was thin and small and full of bones, which was extremely uncomfortable to hold.

It's really a poor family's child who is in charge of the house early. Thinking about how beautiful this Wuya family was, although it has a long relationship with the nobles in the palace, but with the surname Wuya and the identity of the Manchu Baoyi, it is not destined to be developed.

And Mingzhu's mother is a miserable life, although she was lucky enough to be selected to enter the palace as the nurse of the little brother, but later she was kicked out of the palace and returned to the Internal Affairs Office. This is the middle of the road.

There are few charcoal in the snow, but not enough to fall into the well. Mingzhu's family is getting worse and worse, and in the end, her Ama and grandparents have also passed away one after another, and now there is only one brother who has become a fool and a widow who is full of illness.

Now, the family is begging for a living with such a girl. How will Mingzhu live if she marries in the future. 、

There is such a family dragging, I'm afraid I can't find any good people.

Aunt Cui's heart turned a thousand times, and the original idea of taking advantage of a little bit also dissipated, leaving only full of pity and sympathy.

"It's going to get better, if you have this good craft, you're not afraid of starving to death." What delicate little things did you bring today, take them out and show them to the eldest lady. Aunt Cui patted Mingzhu's thin back and made a gesture of comfort, and all she started was ribs.

The inferior nature of people always hopes that the people around them will not have a good life without themselves, although Aunt Cui is not mean, but she is not a philanthropist. After all, you have to do business, how to make money without a little bit of gimmicks.

Xiao Mingzhu's self-esteem has been greatly satisfied, and Aunt Cui feels that as long as the level of things this time can be compared to the last time, she will give the little girl a few more copper plates. Anyway, her things don't look very exquisite, but they are better than the style, and they are very popular with those young ladies. Although the head of the house makes the decision every time he makes a gift and sends it out, it makes those maids and ladies come to choose jewelry more frequently.

All in all, there is more than a lot of money.

"I just made a few chains idlely when I was helping my mother boil medicine, some long and some short, which can be used to make bracelets and headdresses, and it is also beautiful to tie a purse. Aunt Cui, help me take a look, I know you have a high vision, you like it, and those young ladies must like it too. Mingzhu uncovered the dark blue cloth towel that covered the basket, revealing the strips that filled the small half basket inside.

"Yo! So much? How many are there? Aunt Cui flipped through it casually, looking at the handiwork as always neat and beautiful, and the colors were also bright. The style of this rope is novel, and it is all strip-shaped, even if it is used to tie it to the purse, it is also on the countertop.

"Twenty-five for the long ones, and forty for the short ones. There are sixty-five in total, and in addition to the last style, I have made up two new patterns. As soon as Mingzhu flipped over her little hand, she took out two bracelet-like rings placed separately from the edge of the basket. Unlike the others, it becomes a ring when it is woven, and the joints are embellished with two thin wooden beads. It looks like it's kind of clumsy and simple.

"Yo, I'll take it with me" Aunt Cui watched the little girl gently pull the beads at both ends, and the bracelet was so appropriately worn on her wrist. Shake it, and the small beads of wood slide back and forth on your wrist, slippery and itchy. It's a lot of fun. It's so much better than strips. You can do it by yourself, and you don't need the help of the maid at all.

"Underneath it is decorated with peach wood beads, which can ward off disasters and evil spirits. These two articles are specially made up for the eldest mother, as a thank you for taking care of our family for a while, a little meager, and please don't dislike it. As he spoke, his big eyes began to thicken, and the water vapor filled the air. It looks particularly pitiful and excited.

"If it weren't for the kindness of the eldest mother, the mother would not have the money to get medicine, and our family would have starved to death. Mingzhu will definitely be remembered in my heart and will never forget it for the rest of my life. Tears rolled and rolled in his eyes, and finally turned into a flowing thread and fell into the placket of his clothes.

"Okay, why are you crying? Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm also willing to help you because of your good skills, it's you who fight. Shrewd! Don't cry, go, go to the account office to get the money, I will accept your wishes. Go back and take good care of your mother and brother, and come back to me if you have difficulties. Aunt Cui smiled and coaxed the little girl, but she couldn't stop being proud in her heart, look at it, if it weren't for me, they would have starved to death. But this little girl is good, and she knows gratitude.

Doing good deeds is unknown, that is a fool, just like walking in brocade at night, no matter how good the scene is, no one appreciates it, and the uncomfortable must not be suffocated. Although Aunt Cui said that she didn't care, she enjoyed the little girl's gratitude to herself very much, just like a kind of Guanyin under the rush of all beings, and that kind of superiority made her mouth can't close.

In addition, although Mingzhu's family is poor, they are Manchu cloth, and no matter how rich their family is, they are just a Han cloth. There is more than one level of poor status. The little girl's grateful appearance made Aunt Cui feel uncontrollable pride and pride, just like her own family had a status more noble than the clothed nobles, and she was full of pride.

So he waved his hand and said to the little maid behind him, "Xiaolian, go to the account room and get five taels of silver." ”

"Auntie, you don't need so much, according to the price last time, it's only three taels of silver." Mingzhu looked frightened, and was a little panicked and grabbed the corner of her clothes and didn't let go, her face was full of confusion.

"Didn't you give me a gift, my aunt is happy today, you take it to your mother with a few good medicines, don't keep catching those medicine slags, it's useless, even if it's a waste of money." Take it. Don't be embarrassed, just treat it as a reward for you. Aunt Cui said with a proud face.

If this word spreads, it will not be able to connect the nine clans.

A Han man dared to reward the royal minions, and he was impatient, saying, what do you have to do with the third prince of Zhu? Is it a mess? Come on, take it.

After some politeness, Mingzhu carefully hid five taels of silver. The smiling face is full of spring light. Although it's really stupid to pretend to be stupid and sweet in front of Aunt Cui, but this extra two taels of silver can catch up with his hard work for a month (weak heart).

Although she is pretending to be stupid, Mingzhu believes that the proprietress does not dare to deduct her remuneration because of this, and Mingzhu's biggest guarantee is her identity as a coat. In these years, those who dare to take advantage of the Manchus have not yet been born.

You know, those bracelets are called a brain-burning and troublesome bracelet, and if you don't care about it and use unstable force, it will be destroyed.

The ladies of rich families will not have flawed ornaments, no matter how delicate and beautiful.

Wu Ya Mingzhu once again thanked the bracelet game that swept the whole school when he was studying, which laid a solid foundation for himself, and then the second gratitude was the almighty Taobao god, who has any style of strategy. I also want to thank those color lines in Taobao that are so cheap that they can be bought by catties.

If it weren't for them, relying on such a poor * silk with no ability at all, it would be a fantasy to want to fill the stomach of the whole family.
