Chapter Seventy-Four: Wang Duofu Comes to Deliver Firewood

Youwei followed Wan Niang to learn embroidery, she lowered her head and finally succeeded in embroidering the shape of the leaf, looked up and pinched her arm, and said to Wan Niang: "Wan Niang, how do you look at my embroidery?" ”

Wan Niang came over to see it, smiled and praised: "The little lady has been embroidering leaves for a few days, and this one is the best-looking." ”

Youwei said proudly: "Take your time, the flowers are too difficult, the leaves are just one piece, and I will change the embroidery when I find the feeling." ”

Wan Niang quipped: "As long as the little lady doesn't go over the wall to catch butterflies, it's also a good thing to only learn to embroider leaves." ”

Youwei smiled, Yiyue and Baoyue came in hand in hand outside the door, and after Youweifu was upright, Baoyue was straightforward, and spoke first: "Little lady, slave and Yiyue went to Baihe Village to play, Sister Qiaoyun's younger brother came back from collecting firewood, it just so happened that there was not much firewood in our yard, Yiyue asked that younger brother to carry firewood and send it over, and now he is outside the door!" ”

Youwei put the embroidery in her hand aside: "Oh, then come in and drink a glass of water, Wanniang, prepare something to thank my brother." ”

Wan Niang answered yes and went to the inner room to get the money, Yi Yue smiled and said, "He is as old as you, it seems that he is a few months older than the little lady!" After saying that, he stood at the door and beckoned, and a boy walked in, and Youwei looked at it, her face did not grow, but her eyebrows were thick, her eyes were dark and bright, and her hair was wrapped in cloth and tied with a rope on the top of her head. With dark skin, well-proportioned body, and wearing blue coarse cloth clothes, he saw Youwei, probably didn't expect it to be such a young girl, and originally wanted to kneel and bow, so he stiffened for a while, and changed to bending down and arching his hand: "Wang Duofu greets the little lady." ”

Wan Niang came out at this time, took a small string of copper coins in her hand, and handed it to Wang Duofu: "The little lady rewarded you with your hard-earned money, take it." ”

Wang Duofu excused: "The little sister and Sister Yiyue are good sisters, the little lady is the master of Sister Yiyue, and the little one is not hard to carry firewood for Sister Yiyue, so she doesn't need to give money." ”

Yi Yue also smiled at Wan Niang and said, "Wan Niang, take back the money quickly, he should do this, otherwise he won't dare to come over next time to deliver firewood." ”

Wan Niang didn't dare to call the shots, looked at Youwei, Youwei then spoke: "You just accept it, our yard is full of women, and when the firewood is not enough, I am embarrassed to trouble the people of Baihean, if you are free, come once a week and give you fifty yuan, okay?" ”

Yi Yue immediately said: "Little lady, fifty wen is too much, thirty wen is enough." ”

Youwei looked at Yiyue, and Wanniang immediately gave the money to Wang Duofu: "Young man, our little lady Bodhisattva is unwilling to treat anyone harshly, and it is not bad for this fifty Wen, so you can accept it." ”

Wang Duofu looked at Youwei carefully, and saw Youwei nodding with a smile, so he accepted it in his arms, and then bowed to Youwei again: "Thank you little lady for the reward, the little family went." ”

Yiyue seemed to be in a hurry, took a small step forward, and when she saw Youwei looking over, she smiled and said, "The little lady should also reward him with a glass of water to drink, so that the little lady can see that the little lady treats her subordinates sincerely." ”

When Wanniang heard this, she frowned and was about to speak, but Youwei nodded: "I was negligent, you take him to the well to fetch water to drink." ”

Yiyue was blessed, Wang Duofu bowed to the little lady again, and the two went out.

Youwei smiled at Baoyue and asked, "What are you playing today?" Tell me about it. ”

Baoyue immediately came to his senses, counted his fingers and said, "I went to look for mushrooms today, but it didn't rain, and I couldn't find fresh mushrooms." Yiyue took me to her house to watch cats and dogs fight, it was very fun, Sister Qiaoyun took Yiyue to the house and asked Yiyue to teach her embroidery, I don't like embroidery, how can embroidery have cats and dogs fight fun? ”

"You are also a solid eye, that Qiaoyun and Wang Duofu are not subordinates in the house, how can you be embarrassed to let the family send firewood over?" Wan Niang said.

Baoyue was a little aggrieved: "That's what I said, Yiyue said that it's not in the way, Qiaoyun and her are like sisters, and Wang Duofu is also half her younger brother, so it's not a big deal to send firewood." ”

Youwei lowered her head again and embroidered leaves: "It's not a big deal, someone sends firewood, so you don't have to save it, it's good." ”

After dinner in the evening, Youwei was looking at Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, Yiyue came over quietly and whispered to Youwei: "The little lady doesn't blame the slave for making her own decisions?" ”

Youwei smiled and said, "No, Wanniang is old, you two are girls, and nuns are also busy during the day, and someone brings firewood, so you can be more relaxed." ”

Yi Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "The little lady thinks like this, the slave is relieved, Qiaoyun has been playing with the slave since he was a child, when the slave came to Mu Wangfu, Brother Xiaofu was only seven years old, and the two sisters and brothers were crying when they sent me, alas, now that I see them, the living conditions are not very good, and the slave wants to ...... If you want to give them a little help, the little lady's reward can be deducted from the slave labor's money. ”

Youwei had inquired about the misunderstanding of the Song Dynasty with Wanniang before, a kitchen knife was thirty yuan, it felt like nine yuan, Youwei converted it herself, one penny is equivalent to three cents, and fifty wen is fifteen yuan, which is not expensive.

So Youwei said to Yi Yue: "This little money is still deducted from your salary, so it really makes me have a reputation for treating my subordinates harshly!" ”

Yiyue lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly: "The little lady has a good heart, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless the little lady." ”

Youwei joked: "Don't come to my side to pat yourself, Wanniang and Yiyue are still washing dishes in the kitchen, you are lazy here!" "What's the matter, I'm just afraid that the little lady will misunderstand, so I came over to explain, and now I've made it clear to you, and the slave will go to the kitchen." After saying that, he blessed his body and went out by the moon.

Youwei stood up and stepped on the wooden soles, it was really aggrieved, these two little girls were there, Youwei didn't dare to stand up, either sitting or crooked, they were not allowed to serve closely, hugging the moon was heartless, it is estimated that Yiyue began to suspect it, fortunately, Wanniang is a big Youwei with one hand, Youwei is close to Wanniang, and no one dares to say anything, now bathing and changing clothes and other situations that may expose her feet, Youwei tries to prevent being discovered, and after a year, she has grown half a head tall, and no one doubts it, right?

But Youwei suddenly thought of a thing, most of the previous daughters stayed in the deep boudoir, they were thrown here, no one around to protect them, it didn't seem very reasonable, but no one came to disturb it all the time, probably because of the White Crane Nunnery, the people were simple and did not dare to offend the gods, now is not the era of war, everyone is relocated to the land, the era of peace and prosperity, count your fate to catch up, otherwise the war is raging, do you want to be a Gone with the Wind?

Anyway, if you just see a foreign man like this, will it seem very unruly in this era?

This leaning moon, it seems that you need to pay more attention.
