Chapter 307: Training and Teaching (1)
Yun'er is most anxious and most worried about the opening of the training class for teaching Mama, and the Nalan department store sells finished products, semi-finished products and raw materials bought from the arts and crafts factory, which are relatively easy to process. But the sales of women's goods in the store are also very fast, such as those fungus flowers, which are in short supply at all. Yun'er thought that the maids and grandmothers in the house would do it by themselves, it was very simple and easy to learn. However, if you teach one person alone, the time is not allowed, and the class must be uniform. I told him when the prince came to his room to see the situation.
The prince said: "Okay, you can start the class, tell Fu Jin, she only has Zhu's family, Beard and Hair, and she will start training a few teachers in your hall here." Let them learn and teach all the maids and daughters in the house. ”
"Cheng, then Yun'er is ready to start class."
"Yun'er, I know that you are in a hurry to start class, and you are embarrassed to urge Fujin. She has never left the Qing Dynasty, her thoughts are all here, and before designing clothes, her mind is still on the gifts you gave her. It's those clothes, trying them on one by one, and then folding them and putting them away, looking satisfied, how do you think I can beat her interest? With it, the body is not good......"
"Lord Wang, Yun'er understands you, and she can't bear to pour cold water on her."
"I told her at noon today, maybe she forgot about it."
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for thinking about Yun'er."
"Don't be too anxious, this kind of love is not good for your health, you know?"
"Well, Yun'er tries to control it as much as possible."
Yun'er brought Mama Lin, Ling Juan and Yu'er Shui'er to invite Fujin to come and ask for peace. She estimated that the prince had already told Fujin that he would add another handful of firewood.
"Yun'er and the others ask Fujin for peace, Fujin is auspicious." Yun'er bowed down, and Ling Juan and the others behind her also saluted at the same time.
"Oh sister, you are really, and you don't remind my sister, what I said before about teaching Mama Xi, sister......"
"It's okay, it's okay, Yun'er is ready, all the grandmothers and sisters will go to my hall to learn." Actually, there is nothing difficult to learn, just be serious.
At midnight the next day, the first training class for teaching and learning mama held by Yun'er finally started. Yu'er, Shui'er, Mama Lin, Mama Ning (peach), Mama Zheng, Ma'er, and Bun'er dressed up neatly, came to the hall of Feiyunlou, and made a squatting salute to Yun'er, who was sitting in front of the work case: "Master Yun is auspicious!" ”
Yun'er smiled and said to everyone kindly: "No courtesy, please take a seat." ”
"Slaves and maids, take your seat."
"Sister Ling, come here, you are also a member of the teaching Xi Mama, come and sit down." Yun'er beckoned to Ling Juan, who was standing aside watching the bustle.
Ling Juan was a little stunned, she didn't know that she had also become a teaching grandmother, but her brain reacted quickly, and it didn't mean that she didn't know yet, so she smiled gently and sat next to Peach. Peach and Ling Juan have already known each other, and have learned etiquette and rules from her for many days, and they are much older than them in terms of age, so they are naturally close to Peaches.
"A few of you are the teachers who have been nominated by me and selected by the prince and Fu Jin with the nod of the nod, and you are also the people who Fu Jin and I serve personally. Good character, good needlework, hard-working and intelligent, quick receptivity. You also know that the prince wants to do business and add money to the treasury, which is the important mission of the prince. It is also our luck to be able to participate in the affairs of the prince. You will work very hard, but you will not pay in vain, and the prince will give you the corresponding reward. This remuneration does not include your original monthly payment, which is your labor expenses outside of your errands. There are not many specific requirements, one is to participate voluntarily, one is to abide by the rules here, and the third is to do things seriously and responsibly. Even though you have been chosen, you have to be willing to do it yourself. The prince will not force anyone to do what he does not want to do. But if you are willing to take on the role of teaching Mama, you must follow the rules of Mama. Let's fulfill a necessary procedure, that is, voluntary registration, that is to say, you are willing to take on this task when you sign up, if you are reluctant, you don't have to be reluctant. Give you a cup of tea time to consider if you would like to learn the craft from me, and then teach it to the other girls and grandmothers in the house? If you don't understand, you can raise your hand and ask. ”
Mama Zheng was the first to raise her hand. Yun'er asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Mama Zheng?" ”
"Master Yun, the slave is very willing to learn the skills from you, and then transfer the skills learned to the girl in the house. I just don't know what skills you want to teach your slaves? The slave maid is old, and her brain must not be as smart as that of a young man, and she is a little afraid that she will not be able to learn. ”
"That's too much of a concern, isn't it? I still know a little bit about Mama Zheng's needlework level. You and Sister Ning's needlework are still the best in the house. The skills I learned are not very advanced, and as you know, my previous hobbies were in painting and calligraphy, and it was a bit difficult to do needlework. Also, what you have to learn is nothing more than cloth art, weaving, and bead stringing. Fabrics include sachets, purses, handbags, patchwork, and embroidery. Embroidery is not only the traditional Suzhou embroidery, Beijing embroidery, Shu embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, etc., but also the methods I learned from foreign countries such as cross-stitch, flat embroidery, velvet embroidery, sequin embroidery, ribbon embroidery, etc.; Weaving is also divided into several types, one is the traditional wishful knot weaving, which is what we call the yarn in the Qing Dynasty, as well as crochet and rod knitting; Bead string is to wear all kinds of colored beads into Buddhist beads, bracelets and necklaces, etc., or sew on fabric, embroidery and other craft works, but also to wear colored beads into delicate bags and inlaid on jewelry in a certain way. Let's put it this way, there are many ways to do it alone. We use the traditional method of tying the strings here, that is, to hit directly by hand, and what I learned is to weave with the help of certain tools, the method is different, and the effect is not the same. If you are interested in these skills, you may want to learn them. If you feel bored after studying for a while, you can give up. However, I ask you to pay attention to the lectures when you listen to the lectures, and if you don't want to listen, you can leave quietly, and don't affect others. It's not how good I say, it's that the skills I teach you should participate in the great business of the prince, that is, to earn money for the emperor and send it to the treasury. This is a very strict thing, if you want to come to learn the skill, you have to think about it, be prepared to endure hardships, if you retreat halfway, see others make money and then want to join, then it will not work. I'm done, I'm going to give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and decide whether to participate or not. To participate, sign up here at Yu'er Shui and we'll be given a set of tools and practice materials. If you don't want to participate, you can leave. However, participants must abide by the rules here, do not be late, do not leave early, pay attention to the lectures, and do not have small meetings and do not disrupt the class. If you don't understand and want to ask the teacher, raise your hand first, and ask questions with permission. There is also the need to hand in your homework on time, which is the homework left by the teacher. When answering the teacher's questions, speak clearly and loudly, and do not make small movements underneath. I'm sure you're all adults, so you don't know how to obey, right? Registration is now open. You report right here, raise your hand, and say your name and age. Sister Yu'er fills in the form, and then Sister Shui'er sends your tools and materials to hand. Another request is that in the afternoon you should not tell anyone else about the situation here, such as what was sent to you, what you have studied, what is here, and so on. We don't see people, it's that people think differently, and it's inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. Because many of the things I brought back were things that the Qing Dynasty did not have, and compared with our Qing Dynasty, many of them were glittering and would make people feel very valuable, so it would inevitably make people covet, covet, and want to belong to themselves, and even harm others. Therefore, I hope that everyone will be cautious and safety-oriented. Sign up. Mama Zheng raised her hand, please stand up and say. ”
Mama Zheng said: "The slave maid is the first to sign up. No matter how hard or tired you are, the slave and maid will learn the skills from you. I can't say anything, but the slave swears! I will definitely abide by the rules, and don't talk to anyone about what I shouldn't say, and if the slave violates it, I will rot my tongue and eyes! The slave's name is Zheng Jiao, she is forty-two years old this year, and she belongs to the dragon. ”
The beard smiled and said, "It's not a draft, what age do you report?" I only knew that your name is Zheng Jiao, very pink. ”
"Your mother's name is pink!"
Everyone wanted to laugh, but they were afraid that Mama Zheng would be annoyed. The heart said that this mustache is used to being domineering, and he doesn't know how to respect anyone. Yun'er really wants to teach her a few words, Mama Zheng's age is good to be the mother of Mao'er, she hasn't joked big or small, she is really a young tutor. Thinking about it again, it has been ** years since she entered the mansion, and Fujin has not trained her well, so why should she offend people with so much trouble? On a digression, he said:
"Mama Zheng has already signed up, Sister Yu'er hurry up and register."
"Back to the master, the slave has already written Mama Zheng's name, and her age has also been written."
"Then ask Mama Zheng to press a handprint or sign on the last box of the registration form and send her the tools and materials."
"Where do you put your mudra?" Mama Zheng asked the fish very seriously.
Yu'er handed the form to Mama Zheng: "Your name is in the first place on this form, please press a handprint in this position." This is ink. ”
Mama Zheng looked at the words on the form carefully, "I have received the tools and some materials." She was literate, and after confirming that it was correct, she solemnly pressed her handprint in the grid. Shui'er handed a heavy bag of tools and materials to Mama Zheng: "These are your tools and materials, please take them." ”
"That's a lot, it's heavy." With that, he took it and looked aside.
Then there is the peach registration, and then Mama Lin, Ling Juan, Mulberry, Bun, Fish, and Shui'er. After signing up, Mama Zheng made a secret oath. The people of that era attached great importance to oaths, and they had to fulfill them when they were made.
Momoko's oath was: "If the slave and maid talk nonsense, revealing the secrets of the house will cause a serious illness." ”
Mama Lin's oath was: "If the slave maid does something that is sorry for the four estimates, the sky will thunder and die." ”
The oath of the maid was: "The mouth of the slave and maid loves to talk nonsense, but she will never mention anything in the house to anyone, and if she does, she will get cholera." ”
The bun was even more simply: "If the slave disobeys the requirements of the cloud master, it will not be a good death!" ”
Yu'er's oath was: "The slave and maid are closest to the master, and they must be cautious, and they will never tell any secrets here, and they will not tell the prime minister." If you disobey, your arms and legs will be crippled! ”
Shui'er's oath is: "If the slave and maid talk nonsense, they will walk and fall to their death!" ”
It's that Ling Juan didn't swear, one is that she doesn't know what to say, and then she doesn't believe it.
Every oath was loud, and Yun'er didn't stop them from swearing. Swear and there is restraint. But I also have to say a few words of comfort: "You say it's good to keep your mouth shut, I believe you." Because the prince is in a high position, his every move has attracted the attention of the emperor and the queen mother, so there can be no problem, the title and the second are second, don't harm the life of the prince and the lives of more than 400 people in the house because someone is not careful in speaking! You know? ”
"The slaves and maidservants know. You can rest assured. ”
"From now on, you are the exotic skills of our house. It's a heavy burden on my shoulders. The prince means that before the Dragon Boat Festival, or the girls and grandmothers in the front and back courtyards, or all the girls and grandmothers in the house, can make a batch of seasonal goods. Take it to the newly established 'Nalan Department Store' and sell it. A few days ago, I had already taken a few boxes of goods to Nalan Donggui, the younger brother of Nalan Guard, and his brother sold them on behalf of him, and they were sold very quickly, and the ordinary people in the capital could accept them! ”
Except for Yu'er Shui Er Ling Juan who knew the inside story, several other teaching grandmothers were staring at each other: how could a person like Wang Ye be in business behind his back? People have sold their things.
Bun'er whispered to Bun'er, "Didn't you say that Master Yun gave Shui'er a few boxes of gifts?" People let her brother-in-law sell it on her behalf, and she was suspicious. ”
The beard had nothing to say, so he could only whisper to himself to find a step: "The cheap one who asks for food." ”
