Chapter 209: The Master and Servant Are Deeply Affectionate
Yun'er took Shui'er's hand and said heartily, "You and Sister Yu'er are both people who serve me personally, in fact, I regard you and Sister Yu'er as my own sisters." My father and mother only have one daughter, and they don't even have any brothers and sisters. Sister Yu'er came when I was ten years old, and her stepfather sold her to a ruffian, do you think she can have a good life? Thanks to her cleverness, when the scoundrel was chasing her, she broke into the county hall and asked my father for help. Later, my father bought her for the purpose of making her my companion and sister, but she had to repay my father's kindness and serve me as a maid, in fact, my parents treated her as their own daughter. Your background is also very hard, and both parents died at a young age. In comparison, I am a little stronger than you, and I have the protection of my parents. The three of us are almost the same age, and we have different temperaments and temperaments, but we also get along well. It is our fate that we can meet in the house. However, we are highly hierarchical in the Qing Dynasty, and I am the woman of the prince, so there is a distance between us. I don't dare to act like you, because people will be jealous of you. A few years ago, I was sick, sometimes I understood and sometimes I was confused, I couldn't remember what I said or did, and even Sister Yu'er broke my head. When I was sober, I didn't even beat her, I didn't even scold her. Sister Yu'er said that I also bullied you, I really didn't mean to, don't blame me, okay? I'm sorry. ”
"Master, where did you bully slaves and maids? It's the slave who makes you angry. Shui Er was moved to tears by the sincerity of her master.
"I went out with the prince and Tian Guards for a year, and you and Sister Yu'er guarded this home for me, and cleaned up so cleanly, you are tired."
"Master, these are the things that slaves and maids should do and do their part. But you don't even have someone to serve when you go out, and you don't have to think that just having two children at a time is enough for you to suffer. I don't know how busy and tired you are. ”
"It's all over, and it's not a bad thing to suffer a little. It's more or less an experience. ”
"You are the master, do you still need experience? The slave is very happy for you, and gave birth to two little masters, who are white and fat, and you will be more honored in front of the prince in the future. ”
"It is a woman's duty to have children, as long as the children grow up safely, marry a wife and have children in the future, and continue the lineage of the prince, I will complete the mission of passing on the ancestry. In the future, there may be great changes in our house. It has been several years since the prince came down from the battlefield, practicing martial arts, raising flowers, and planting vegetables, and has become an idle person. He was very unhappy in his heart, always thinking that he could do something for the emperor. When we arrived in a foreign land, we saw that others were richer than us, and we wanted to follow suit. I exchanged the antiques I brought with me for the money over there, and I bought some things to cover the expenses of the year. Many of these things are raw materials, and I just want to teach the girls and grandmothers in the house a few ways to make cloth art that I learned from other places. "Yun'er didn't mention that the prince wants to do business.
"What is fabric?"
"It's delicate needlework. Our women in the Qing Dynasty can do needlework regardless of their status, so making fabric is very suitable for the girls in our house. The prince said that he would choose a few teachers in the house, I will first teach the cloth art to the mother, and then you will teach the grandmother to all the girls in the house, I am ready to let you and Sister Yu'er become the grandmother. ”
Shui'er knelt down for Yun'er, and kowtowed to Yun'er three times respectfully: "Thank you for your master's trust, what do you want the slave to do, just send it." ”
"In the future, you and Sister Yu'er may be very tired, but the prince said that everyone who participates in his affairs will be paid." Yun'er helped Shui'er up, "Don't kneel without moving in the future, you know?" ”
"The slave knows. The slave maid has enough silver, and she has become a dowry maid by your side, not only taking a monthly example of three taels of one tael, but also taking an extra two taels of dowry silver. ”
"Two different things. I mean, you and Sister Yu'er will not only continue to serve by my side, but also take on a lot of chores and help me manage things. I have a lot of things to do, in addition to teaching cloth art, but also cold drinks, pastries and painting tasks, which I really can't take care of. In the future, the prince wants to do a little business, and Fujin, me, my father, my mother and Tian guards will help him. So you and Sister Yu'er have to help me share the burden. ”
"The slave is willing to bear it for you."
"In the future, you will have to learn culture and recognize some words."
"Master, in the year that you have been away from the house, we have nothing to do. Sister Yu'er taught the slave maid to read and write, five or six a day, and she has learned nearly two thousand words in a year. Sister Yu'er also taught the slave how to keep accounts. ”
"That's great! I really didn't expect you to be so smart and studious. In the past few years, I have seen that you are a very good person, your brain is very smart, and you are also very solid and able to endure hardships. I also forgot to tell you that the unopened box I asked Nalan and the two of them to carry up was the gift I prepared for you. There are fabrics, jewelry, toys and food for your mother-in-law and children. You've been serving by my side for years, and it's been very hard, even if it's a reward for you. I heard Sister Yu'er say that your brother-in-law and sister-in-law are about to get married, and the fabric in the box is just right to make a few clothes for your uncle and sister-in-law to wear, and the jewelry can also be used. Nalan guards are very good, and if they are loyal to the prince, I will give you two a little reward on behalf of the prince. ”
Shui'er knelt down for Yun'er again and kowtowed respectfully: "The slave and maid thank the master for his grace on behalf of the whole family." ”
"Hurry up, I know that you are careful, solid, and loyal, I like people like you and Sister Yu'er, and I will take care of you more in the future."
"Thank you for your concern and compassion." Shui Er was very moved by the master's confidant words, and the mist rose in front of her again.
"You take the gift back from the box in pieces, take a little a day, tuck it on the waistband of your trousers, carry it in your arms, and no one will pay attention to it when you take it back at night. If you don't carry a big box back, your eyes will be pricked up, and it's not good for you. The prince gave a gift box to everyone in the mansion who had official qualities, and your family Nalan also had one. But the box in front of me is for you personally, and the contents belong to you. It is the reward for your dedication to serving me. The husbands of several grandmothers in Fujin's room have a gift box, and the gifts for each grandmother are also for them personally, all for women, not as many as you and Sister Yu'er. The Jingqi Mama who serves the prince and Gege, the first, second, and third class maids, rough maids and guards, personal soldiers, eunuchs, and small servants, each have a copy, but the number is less. Sister Yu'er's gift to Tian Guard's was not only given to her. Okay, I'm going to wake up early tomorrow and go to sleep, I'm sleepy too. Looking back, Ling Juan had already fallen asleep.
Yun'er was very tired, not just today, she was tired for a year, and soon fell asleep. Shui'er said that he couldn't sleep anymore. I always think about what my master said, and I feel that the weight is very heavy. At the same time, I also feel that the master has changed a lot when he comes back from outside, as if he has grown up a lot, and he is very steady in speaking and doing things. I don't know how many times I folded the flatbread before I was confused.
Yun'er slept soundly and peacefully. In the dream, the eldest sister who was still in a foreign land was busy making ice cream. All kinds of ice cream are placed on the table, bubbling cold. Yun'er took the eldest sister's hand and wanted to say a few words to the eldest sister, but suddenly woke up. It was quiet outside, there were no exotic car horns, no neon lights flashing, and the whole palace was in a quiet sleep.
Looking at the Korean paper pasted on the pane slowly shining, Yun'er felt very stable and had a very primitive feeling. Thinking of the exotic stream of vehicles, towering buildings, the sound of subwoofers in front of shops, and the big-screen TV commercials on the streets, Yun'er felt as if she had experienced a long dream. More than 200 years of time and space have been crossed so easily, and it is impossible not to raise high respect for Master. I am very fortunate and destined to live in this big family. Undertake a major mission with the prince, and you must do your part well!
The window paper was white, the day was about to dawn, and from the direction of the garden came the rooster's song, and the first night of returning home passed. Yun'er thought of the eldest sister's family in a foreign land, as well as Xiaoli, Tingting, Hailong, Serious, Mr. Xiao Zhong, and even Xiaoli's aunt and serious grandparents were deeply imprinted in her mind. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, not only busy with things, but also busy giving birth to children and taking care of the prince, Yun'er felt how could she have such a strong vitality.
When I returned to my home and my time, I didn't know what difficulties and obstacles I could encounter on the road ahead. There is nothing else but to face it bravely.
Thinking that I had bought something in an exotic supermarket yesterday morning and returning to the Qing Dynasty more than 200 years ago at noon was like a dream. Everything that happened there is vividly in my mind, as if I can still distinguish Xiaoli's hearty laughter......
Yun'er saw that it was still early, covered the baby Beibei and Xuan'er with a quilt, and then meditated cross-legged and continued to look for the goods. There is no need to look at the several secret rooms under your feet and the secret passage to Tongzhou Wharf, and your eyes are centered on the secret room under your feet, scanning them one by one. In this way, we can see the east, south, and northwest directions. Sweep through the box in the hall downstairs to the palace gate installed on the north wall, and enter the treasury of the Ming Dynasty prince, where the entire treasury is full of cloth. Yun'er also clearly saw that there was a lot of acrylic velvet in these cloth pockets. After thinking about it, it seems that there is no such kind in the black book. When I think about it again, I am relieved, where do I have time to look at those cloth heads? No matter what it is, you can participate in the production of fabric. This treasury is very large, and the east-west direction is flush with the balcony of the hall, and the height is also the same. Except for a road more than one meter wide in the middle for picking up goods, the rest of the places are stacked to the roof from top to bottom, tightly tucked into the east and west sides of the palace gate. From the outside of the north wall of the Feiyun Tower to the south wall of the Great Wall-style palace treasury, the distance can be almost 500 meters long, and this length is the length of the palace from east to west. A rough estimate would have to be more than 100,000 bags.
Yun'er's heavenly eye swept into the palace treasury, the east No. 1 to No. 8 treasury are all kinds of daily necessities in the house, and the ten mansions from No. 9 to No. 18 are all the materials used by the prince and Tian Liang, all kinds of tires, wheels, axles, saltpeter, ropes, spare cartons, cups, straws, cotton swabs, ice cream rods, ice cream wrapping paper, plastic film bags, convenience bags, plastic wrapping film, all-purpose glue, milky white glue, daily necessities, cleaning supplies, musical instruments, window screens, anti-theft doors, shower appliances, wrought iron, all kinds of seeds, pulleys, turnover boxes, seedling trays, Well drilling equipment, all kinds of license plates, suitcases, plumbing equipment, biogas equipment, fitness equipment, paper towels, sanitary napkins, couplets, Fu characters, all kinds of plastic supplies, ceramic supplies, all kinds of small trucks, electric tricycles, manpower tricycles, bicycles, strollers, window screens, door locks, anti-theft doors, plastic soles, foam soles, sponges, blow molding paper, bearings, gears, fish scale iron, furniture samples, executive desks, painting cases, swivel chairs, greenhouse materials, various tools, consumables, etc., etc., etc.
Yun'er's eyes swept to "Awakening Wulu", which was stuffed to the point of suffocation by woodworking boards, plywood and other boards, leaving only a space to open the door; In addition, the buildings, platforms, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, and rooms that are used as scenic spots in the garden are also filled with cement, wood, and tiles.
