Yun'er took out a bag from the divided tool and material pockets and said to Yu'er, "Send this bag to Sister Ling." ”

Yun'er was quite friendly to Ling Juan and thought about her in everything. Because Yun'er has already experienced the embarrassment of being in a strange environment in a foreign country. She still went with Wang Ye and Tian Liang, Ling Juan came here alone, and she was rejected by Fujin after she came. It's hard enough. In the future, she may not necessarily participate in fabric processing, but things should be given to her, and she should not feel left out and disliked.

Yu'er sent a convenient bag full of tools and materials to Ling Juan: "This is a copy given to you by our master, let you do it."

"How embarrassing it is, it's all money exchanged for Yunyun's cultural relics."

"Since it was given to you by our master, you can take it, and if you have time, you can do it, and when it is done, you will sell it together with those girls and grandmothers, and make a penny."

"Dried fish is so right. My family used to be very poor, I didn't have a father when I was a child, I only had a mother who was not in good health and a younger brother, if it wasn't for poverty, I would have been able to go to university. ”

"Isn't that a pity? There are really similarities between your life experience and the slave maid, the slave and the maid have also lost their father since they were children, and there is a younger brother, not to say it, it is difficult to look back on the past. ”

"My sister is blessed to be by Yunyun's side. When she was in a foreign land, everyone liked her, pungent, free-spirited, smart, and capable. ”

"Really? In the future, you will have the opportunity to tell the fish about the master's affairs in a foreign land. The prince said a little about the outside matter, but our master rarely said it. My father-in-law is a gourd without a mouth, so it takes a lot of effort for him to say something. ”

Yun'er took out a few from Cheng Duo'er's convenient bag and said to Yu'er, Shui'er, Lan'er, Hui'er, Jing'er, Yue'er, Lian'er and other seven people, "Open it." ”

Several girls opened one each at the request of the cloud master. Yun'er smiled and said, "Several, open the convenience bag in your hand, close your eyes, and I'll give you something you must like." ”

Several people obediently opened the convenience pouch and closed their eyes with a smile. After waiting for a while, Yun'er said, "You can open your eyes." ”

Several people felt that the convenience bag in their hands was a little heavier than before, so they looked inside, followed by screams of surprise. It turned out that Yun'er gave each of them a large handful of colored beads mixed together. Yun'er knows that this is something that Daqing does not have, and it will definitely be favored by all girls.

Yun'er put her index finger on her lips to signal silence. Everyone hurriedly suppressed their voices and looked at the various colorful colored beads in their hands with joyful faces.

"Master, how can you have such beautiful colored beads!" The girls clutched their bead pockets tightly, their faces flushed with joy. They had never seen white, moon-white, and black pearls, but they had never seen red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, gold, silver, gray, white, and black, and they were round, square, angular, flower-shaped, transparent, translucent, opaque, bright, black, shining, and with Venus.

"Let me tell you, these beads are plastic and glass, but not pearls, they are nailed above the tassels when making sachets. This kind of transparent is made of glass, there is no irritation to the skin, you can wear a bracelet with this kind of beads, this kind of round opaque beads are plastic, it is used for sachets, don't make bracelets, everything that is plastic has a slight toxicity, it is best not to be next to the skin. Inside this small pocket is an elastic cord for threading beads. There are such beads produced in foreign lands, and we don't have them in the Qing Dynasty, so we brought some back, which is also a rare thing. You can give it to your little sisters, and you can share fun things with everyone. Another is to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival soon, I will give you a few colored beads, you can make a few sachets to try whether it looks good, show it to me when you are done, I think there is creativity to stay as a sample, and I will give you a reward if there are economic benefits in the future. ”

"Master, what are the economic benefits you are talking about?" Yu'er asked.

"To put it bluntly, it is how much money you make, and high economic benefits are how much you earn. For example, if you make a sample that looks good, and then everyone does what you do, and the customer likes it very much, everyone comes to buy it, and the money will be more, right? This is the economic benefit, with your creativity, the fruits of your labor, you have paid for your hard work, so I will reward you. I see? ”

"I see, thank you for the reward." The seven maids respectfully thanked Yun'er for their gifts, and their hearts were full of joy.

Then Yun'er took out some ribbons, silk, lace, nylon thread, fish eyes, sequins, etc., in the box, plus buttons, yarn flowers, etc., and asked Lan'er, Hui'er, and Jing'er to distribute them to the bulk convenience bags.

"Take so much first, and then send it to everyone one after another if you encounter something. Lan'er, the three of you can go back and rest, don't use it, and we'll do it tomorrow. Sister Yu'er and Sister Shui'er have other things. ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids are gone." Lan'er and Yue'er all happily took the colored beads and went back to their residence. As soon as they entered the house, they hugged each other and danced, and their eyebrows danced with joy. They love the colored beads that their master has given them! All kinds of beads are mixed together, and there are all kinds of colors and styles, and they appear to be dazzling. This is something that the Qing Dynasty does not have, although I know that it will not be a very valuable thing, but the master gave it to the seven little sisters, at least a handful of them each, and it adds up to a lot. And this is something that other girls don't have, and I'm very proud of it.

"Sister Lan'er, I'm so happy." Hui'er held the bag of colored beads and closed her eyes to revel in excitement.

Yun'er gave a few maid sisters Caizhu is also a little convenient for Lan'er and Hui'er, the two girls who are married, they can make a purse, sachet or something for their fiancé to enhance their relationship.

The three girls lay on their beds and counted the colored beads, picking them up and looking at them carefully. These girls who are maids have their own good sisters in the house who can talk about each other and have a good temper, so they take care of each other very well, do not "eat alone", and the rewards given by the master can be shared by the good sisters, even if it is a piece of snack, it must be broken and eaten. Although it is a little distressing to give away the colored beads given by the master, it is also to be given, and the gifts are still exchanged, otherwise there are not enough sisters. Everyone is in the ranks of slaves, and it is important to take care of each other. Of course, clothes and jewelry are not easy to separate.

"Sister Lan'er, there are a total of four hundred and sixty beads in my hand, and there are more than a hundred glass beads, and there are also shiny ones in them, which can be mixed with glass to wear bracelets, at least four bracelets can be worn, and other beads can make dozens of sachets. I want to give a little to my future sister-in-law, Sister Liu'er, a few to Sister Yue'er, and Sister Qing'er and Sister Ji'er in the kitchen. Jing'er liked the colored beads rewarded by her master very much, counting them one by one, and thinking about her future sister-in-law, her good sisters Yue'er, Qing'er and Ji'er.

"Sister Lan'er, Hui'er's is four hundred and thirty-eight." Hui'er also happily counted her own colored beads.

"You guys don't interrupt, okay? I just counted to one hundred and five and let you forget about it. Lan'er's mouth pursed.

"Sister Lan'er, do you know how to count? It took such a half a day to count to one hundred and fifteen? It should have counted to two hundred and five. "Hui'er deliberately made trouble.

"Oops, nasty! They miscounted again. Lan'er stomped her feet in anger.

Lan'er and Hui'er are married people, and they will definitely embroider some purses, sachets, and insoles for their fiancés as souvenirs. And if the husband's family still has a future eldest sister and younger sister, if you want to have a good relationship, you have to express it. In this way, colored beads come in handy.

"He'er, Ping'er, Li'er, come over here." This is Lan'er beckoning a few third-class maids at the door, and a few girls are really excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they jumped to the opposite room. They had already heard a few sisters in the opposite room talking about colored beads, and they were very greedy.

"A few of us have just returned from work at Master Yun's, and the master gave us a little colored beads. Everyone is a good sister, so I'll give you a little, go back and make a sachet or something, and give it to someone you like. ”

"Sister Lan'er, you are so bad, you have someone you like, but we don't."

"Okay, if you say I'm bad, then I won't give it."

"Oh, give it! If you don't have someone you like now, you won't have one in the future. ”

"No shame, no shame! I don't have the same knowledge as you, who made me my sister? A person gives four pairs of colored beads for sachets, twenty-four, and counts them by himself, and then he does not make up for the shortage. ”

"Wow, our master is also generous, such a good bead will be given away? You are second-class maids, close to the master, and it is convenient to get a reward. It's not like us, you can't even get into the building. Looking at the bright acrylic colored beads given by the master, the third-class maid He'er said enviously.

"Don't complain, you're still young, and you'll be able to survive in a few years. I was only ten years old when I first arrived at my master's side, and I was standing outside my master's door. Divide the curtains, make the stove, and clean the house. It's only been a few years? Besides, we don't beat or scold in our house, and it's not so hard, don't be dissatisfied. Do a good job, maybe you will be directly promoted to the next level in the eyes of the master. ”

Jing'er's home is in the courtyard of the house, and she usually lives at home, but there are also her beds here, one is before the master's travel, the second-class and third-class maids have to be on duty at night, and it is convenient to have a bed to rest. And if you can't go home on an urgent errand, you can have a place to sleep and rest.

At noon, Jing'er was about to go home for dinner, but she actually wanted to show off the colored beads to her mother. Jing'er is very close to home, as long as she goes out of the gate a little south, then walks through the aisle in front of Mr. Chen's Suzhou house, and then turns a little north to see the courtyard where her family lives. The prince gave her mother a complete set of courtyards, including Tang Jun's daughter-in-law's room and Jing'er's boudoir. Just out of the gate of Feiyun Building, turning back, a small guy ran from the direction of her house, the one who ran was fast, Jing'er hurriedly took a step back, but it was a little late, the person didn't touch it, and the pocket of colored beads in his hand was knocked away! Jing'er screamed and went to grab the pocket, and the kid seemed to have been chased by a wolf dog, and ran away without looking back. Look at the color bead pocket again, it will hit the wall directly, and then fall from the wall to the ground, scattered! Jing'er burst into tears, crying and scolding: "Leng rabbit, stinky rabbit!" ”

Jing'er scolded very vividly, the rabbit is very timid, and he always looks around, and his two ears are "porphyry". This little guy is also panicked, very much like a rabbit.

If it is completely brick, it is better to say that there is still grass half a foot high growing in the brick cracks against the wall, which makes it extremely difficult to pick up beads. The beads are of different sizes, the larger ones are easy to pick up, and the smaller ones are not easy to pick up when they enter the brick joints. Jing'er almost knelt on the ground to pick it up, and her tears were so distressed that she burst into tears.

At this time, two maids came from the direction of the Fujin courtyard in the south, each holding a tray in their hands, as if they had come to Feiyun Tower to deliver something to eat. As soon as he was about to turn into the gate of Feiyun Tower, he saw Jing'er kneeling on the ground picking up things. hurriedly came over: "Sister Jing'er, what are you doing?" ”

"My beads were scattered on that little fellow."

"Xin'er, you go and send something to Master Yun, and I'll help Sister Jing'er pick up the beads." The one who spoke was the second-class maid Ke'er in Fujin's room, who was smart and well-behaved, and was very liked by Fujin.

People are kind enough to help, why is Jing'er embarrassed to say no? Busy said: "There is Sister Lao Keer." ”

After a while, the heart also came out and helped pick it up. Jing'er didn't know how much she had sprinkled, but she found it all around her pocket anyway, and almost half an hour had passed. Peaches waited for her daughter to come back for dinner, and there was no one to wait, so she went out to see, and when she saw the three girls squatting on the ground and picking up something, she asked, "What are you picking up?" ”

Jing'er cried again when she heard her mother's question: "The colored beads rewarded by the master were scattered by the hairy rabbit!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my mother will help you pick it up." Peaches had a very good personality and was quite patient with her children, so she squatted down and looked for it little by little, asking, "How much have you sprinkled?" ”

"I don't know. Seems like half of it, right? It's too small to pick up. ”

"Then let's eat first, the food is cold, go back and pick it up for you, you go on an errand, don't delay the business." These two are Kerr and Xin'er girls? Let's come home for a light meal, right? There may be no food in the big restaurant, how can you starve you with such help? ”

"No, no, Aunt Ning, we'll go back, there must be food in the restaurant."

"Sister Ke'er, you two wait a minute, I'll give each of you two colored beads that can make four pairs of sachets."

"Thank you, thank you!" Ke'er and Xin'er were not polite at all, and picked out some of their favorite colored beads from Jing'er's colored beads, and they didn't count how many, which made Jing'er feel distressed.

Ke'er and Xin'er returned to Yiran and hugged each other, and regained their lives with Fujin, and when they came back from completing the task, they wanted to tell their master. Then I went back to my accommodation to admire the colored beads.

"What are you two little hooves doing sneaking around?" Outside the door came the voice of a man's voice.

"It's over, it's over, let Qin Hui know." Kerr and Xin'er quickly hid the colored beads.

He didn't even know that he was a traitor.
