Chapter 361: Thoughts
By the time Yun'er returned to Feiyun Tower after dinner in Fujin, it was already very late, and she hurried to the old lady to nurse the child, and the old lady was angry and complained: "Do you have any children in your heart?" The child is still breastfeeding, and he forgets? ”
"Mother, Yun'er told Fujin about her goods, and she couldn't pick up the twist when she stopped halfway and went back."
The old lady was speechless, and she complained a little about Fujin in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything. Fortunately, the child drank white porridge, and he was not very hungry, and he had already slept without crying or making trouble, so forget it. Anyway, you have to carry the child to your side, and you can feed at any time when you are hungry. Yun'er knew that the old lady felt sorry for the child, and she was also distressed.
As soon as Yun'er left, Mr. saw that there was no one else in the house, so he said: "Madam, don't complain about Yun'er in the future, she is also helpless about some things." Fu Jin asked her, can she not go? She had to go obediently. Be content, how can there be such a reasonable Fujin in other houses? ”
Mrs. Chen was speechless, what the lord said was very true, Fujin has done a good job, the prince brought his old couple to the house, if there is no approval from Fujin, it will definitely not work. Thinking about it makes sense.
"Sister Zheng, I did something wrong today."
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong? ”
"I just let Master Yun say something, and I forgot to breastfeed the child."
"Yes, yes, the slave forgot about it, and I didn't give a reminder."
"It's me who didn't think it through. I just thought about myself. ”
"What are you doing? It's not so strict, right? ”
"You're going to the backyard?"
"Don't be cheap. Just pay attention to it later. You are the main mother, don't lose your identity. Besides, no one came to say that the little master was hungry and crying. Wait for the next time the cloud master comes to ask, you think more and more. ”
"No, the child is breastfeeding, and he will cry when he is hungry, Yun'er doesn't say it, I'm really ...... mother-in-law."
The mantle diverted the topic and said, "Fujin." When the slave maid went to invite Master Yun, Tian Guards and Nalan Guards were helping her pour things. All we saw before were gifts, food, and big wooden boxes that were exposed. There is also a large stack of pockets behind the wooden box, which are not visible from the direction of the gate. I don't know what is in the wooden box, the slave asked the cloud master what was in the pocket, and the cloud master said that it was cloth! Good fabric will definitely not fit into such a pocket, and it feels very worthless. You say, buy something worthless from afar......" The beard began to gossip.
"Why do you just ask? It seems that I told you to go to the bottom of someone's house. Didn't you tell you again and again that all the goods were bought with the money exchanged for the antiques of the cloud master's father? Is your steward's stuff worth anything......"
Seeing that Fu Jin was angry again, Mama Zheng hurriedly pulled the beard behind her and said: "Fu Jin, you quickly dissipate your anger, you also know what is wrong with the hooves of the beard, why do you have to be like her?" ”
"What insight does she have, that is, those goods that covet the cloud master! Staring at other people's things, the prince went out and brought back several witty words, one of which was the most suitable for the mane. Fu Jin was persuaded by Mama Zheng to get better.
"The prince can also say witty things? Can you learn from slaves? ”
"In the words of the prince, the head of the wo wo is now in the stove pit."
"Wowotou into the stove pit? What do you mean? "Don't talk about Mama Zheng, the other Mama is also ignorant.
"Stupid! What will happen to the wowotou after entering the stove pit? My eyes are hot! ”
"Huh? Hahahaha......" There was a happy laugh in the room, and even the mustache was staggering with laughter. It's a pity that the mustache is a tendon, and after listening to the joke, the old words were repeated: "Fujin, haven't you seen the pockets for the fabric, they are all made of very sparse thin rope, which is not beautiful at all, what good things can be contained." ”
Mama Zheng spoke: "That's not necessarily. The bun has meat and is not on the folds, the pocket is just the outer skin, and the contents are not necessarily the same as the pocket, do you see what is in the pocket? Just say it's worthless? Why do you little hooves always have trouble getting along with Master Yun? Always thinking about picking the cloud master, isn't it? You manage what people buy, and it doesn't cost you money. ”
I didn't live to say it, yes, people didn't spend your money, what did you buy from others? So he pouted and said nothing. But I couldn't help but think, "What kind of fabric can you put in those broken pockets?" ”
Fu Jin understands Fu'er's mind best, and has always felt that the things in Yun'er's hall should belong to his master, and they are under the master's control, and the master has the final say. In fact, it is a kind of greed, a kind of vanity, and a kind of selfishness, if her master has so many things, she will definitely reward her, and she can't get them if they are Yun'er. It's just a little bit of thought, pitiful and ridiculous. So he said, "I really have to talk to a few of you about this." The three of them went out to travel, and when they saw that the foreign land was richer than the Qing Dynasty, they wanted to follow suit. But no matter how many things you bring back, there are times when they are sold out, and it is not easy to bring too many things, and the money is also counted. They brought back some materials for the work, and returned to the house for the girls to process them, and they could also get a processing fee. If you buy ready-made ones, the price will be expensive, and you won't be able to make money. Can you stand in the position of the cloud master and think about things? Are you happy that you pay for things by yourself, you can't get the money you earn, and you're still being talked about? Their purpose is very simple, that is, to learn some of the skills there, bring them back to teach the people in the house, and then sell them, and get some of the silver to be used as capital, part of it for the emperor to send to the treasury, and part of it for the girl who does the work. The Qing Dynasty was not established for a long time, and it was still after war, so it was very difficult for both the court and the people. As you know, the Queen Mother's Halloween Festival is very simple. What the prince thinks is very simple, that is, he wants to help the emperor. In the past few years, he has basically been idle, in addition to growing vegetables and raising flowers, he also wants to make some contributions to the country. The things in the hall of the cloud master are all for the women in the mansion to do their work. Just like cloth, before it was made into clothes, it was not always piled up there one by one, and it was folded neatly after making clothes. ”
"Hearing you say this, the slave and maid understand a lot", Mama Zheng said, "Master Yun is really a lot, and he exchanged his father's precious antiques for money to buy these for everyone to use, and it is difficult to change people." The mustache can't do it, and she always finds fault with others. ”
"Whoever finds fault with it, the slave maid just sees that those pockets are very simple, and thinks that the things inside will not be too good, and they don't say bad things about Master Yun. With so many pockets, why can't they be given to Fujin? ”
"You're going to divide it, right? How did you divide other people's personal property? Master Yun is to teach everyone skills, what materials to use are known, when teaching to make sachets, the material of the sachet will be sacheted, and the silk rope will be sent to the sachet, and it can't all be sent to everyone, right? After sending it, everyone took it home, and there was not even a number, so don't you mess up? Is it easy to get it back from afar? It's all for nothing, and no one says a word of affection and picks on others,"
"Sister Zheng is so right, I agree. The cloud master is a person who knows in his heart. ”
"Fu Jin, the slave maid has a question," Mama Zheng said, "Whether it's the prince or the master of Yun, after coming back for so many days, you haven't publicly mentioned what it's like in a foreign land in front of everyone, Fu Jin, didn't you ask?" ”
"The prince told me a little, in fact, it's not that they don't want to say it, it's that there are not much different from us, the common people live their lives, there are rich and poor, there are good people and bad people, there are officials and ordinary people. The difference is that there is a large population there, and the materials are richer than ours. There were very few illiterate people in that place, and the common people did not have to kneel when they saw the officials. In terms of rank, it is not so strict as our Qing Dynasty. ”
As soon as he heard about the situation in the foreign land, he came to his senses, pricked up his ears to listen, and couldn't help but ask: "Fujin, you said that the level of people in foreign lands is not as strict as ours, what do you mean?" ”
"Our Qing Dynasty officials are like parents, and the county magistrate has to kneel and kowtow to the prefect.
People don't agree with it very much. The subordinates have to listen to the superiors, but they don't need to kowtow to him, and they don't have to be honestly afraid. If the superior does too badly, the people below can report to the higher-level officials, and even sue him. There are also maids and grandmothers there who are not like us, and some have deeds of sale in the hands of the master, and they have to be under the master's management for the rest of their lives, and they are allowed to be beaten, scolded, resold or even executed by the master. There are also children in the family, and their ancestors have been slaves for generations, and they are not called maids, but nannies, waiters, and part-time workers. If the main family treats her badly, she can leave at any time, and if she abuses her, she can sue the court, which is the yamen. I heard Master Yun say that the girls who serve dishes in the restaurants there are all called misses. But if I punish you for facing the wall, you won't have a chance to sue me. ”
Everyone laughed, and Mama Zheng said, "Isn't there even a humility anymore? ”
"The little girl who has been helping Master Yun is the cousin of the eldest sister's son-in-law, because of the difficulties in her family's life, she went to the capital from the countryside thousands of miles away to take care of her cousin's housework, washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the room. , that is, a rough maid. But this Xiaoli girl is freer than our maid in the Qing Dynasty, in addition to helping her cousin with household chores, she can also help her aunt with business, contact people with what sources of goods, and take college courses. Master Yun went out to buy fabric samples that she took to the street, and there was no place in the whole capital that she didn't know. If it was a mustache, she would definitely look down on Xiaoli, but Master Yun got along well with her and never put up a fight in front of her. Because of mutual respect, Miss Xiaoli did her best to help Master Yun, and taught her several skills, all of which we didn't have in the Qing Dynasty. In this regard, the mind of the man is not as broad as that of the cloud master. ”
"But learning skills from a subordinate is always a bit of a loss of identity, right?"
"What is identity? Isn't it just that you, Amma, are the officials? Is it related to you that you are an official because he is loyal to the court? Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, still has to eat, and she is not as good as Xiaoli in terms of identity. It's just that you don't need to talk about it, you can read books and think by yourself, not everyone can do it, don't listen to it. ”
"A girl from a poor family goes to college? It's not easy. Mama Liu was a little emotional.
"The prince said that whatever information Xiaoli printed for Master Yun, it was all done in the middle of the night, and there was no complaint at all. He also taught the cloud master what computer to use, and also took care of the cloud master's body. You think, if Master Yun treats her badly, can she do this? I didn't know it before, no matter how low my status is, I am not a slave to the cloud master, and I can't sleep for half a night, right? Therefore, identity does not prove the quality of character. ”
"However, how could Master Yun go to learn skills with a subordinate?" She was a little unconvinced.
Fu Jin stared at Fu'er for a long time before saying, "This is where Master Yun is stronger than you." She doesn't have the frame of your status in her head, and she doesn't underestimate anyone. Don't think that if you are born in an official family, you will always be superior, Sister Zheng's father is still an official, doesn't it mean that if you can't do it, you can't do it? The world is impermanent, or learn some crafts solidly, at least there is a job. It's not me who said you, you have always looked down on Master Yun, and you always feel that she is inferior to you. The prince said that when they got there, they began to learn skills, and the learning method was completely different from that of the Qing Dynasty. I learned it from a machine called a computer.,The three of them have never even seen each other.,Even people in exotic lands don't everyone can use that thing.。 But they had never seen a simple operation, and it only took more than ten days. Master Yun was not afraid of this completely unfamiliar thing at all, just like the two big men, Wang Ye and Tian Liang, and even learned faster than them. ”
The beard said disapprehantly: "Won't the slave and maid learn the same way?" ”
Fu Jin said: "That's not likely. Your brain is not chaff, but you have a high status, can you take that Xiaoli girl as a teacher? Your words are, she is a subordinate, you are a young lady, how can you put down this shelf? Master Yun doesn't have this obstacle, so Miss Xiaoli treats her as a friend and teaches her everything she can teach Master Yun without reservation. If the cloud master's eyes are above the top, people will not buy her account. People are not your subordinates, so why should they teach you? The prince said that on the day he came back, Xiaoli hugged Master Yun and cried, reluctant to let her go, can you? ”
The beard stopped talking. Yes, if you learn skills with a girl who is a subordinate, you can't let go of this figure no matter what, this cloud master really has the courage to ask shamelessly. Then again, it's not that she is from a low background, so she doesn't care if others are low or not. On the third day of marrying into the palace, I went to the kitchen to help my sister-in-law knead steamed buns, didn't she just not know how to be high or low? If everyone was really beautiful, they wouldn't do it if they were killed.
