Chapter 506: A New Kind of Errand
After Mama Lin left, Mama Xi was summoned to Feiyun Tower. Mama Xi was so frightened that she was covered in cold sweat and shivered. She thought that Gu Ruyi came to her and was known to Master Yun about stealing art. If it was Fu Jin who summoned her, it would be better, and she would be able to think of a way to deal with it if she was not so nervous. But Master Yun is notoriously powerful, who is he? It's just a little housekeeper.
Passing by the hall, I was startled by the wooden boxes inside, the stacks were too high, and my eyes were dizzy.
Yun'er was coming down from upstairs, preparing to go home to breastfeed, and when she saw Mama Xi standing at the door with an uneasy expression, she smiled in her heart. Yun'er had already learned from Mama Lin, the pro-soldiers in the concierge, the little maid and others, Gu Ruyi came to Mama Xi to ask her to intercede and enter the house to learn art, and it had nothing to do with Mama Xi, and Mama Xi did not agree to Gu Ruyi. It's that she herself feels as if she has done something sorry for her master.
"The slave and maid greet the master, the master is auspicious!" Xi Mama is a squatting ceremony.
"Hi Mama is exempt." Yun'er smiled and looked at Mama Xi.
Mama Xi was even more flustered, thinking that Master Yun knew that Gu Ruyi was looking for her, so she knelt down involuntarily: "Please forgive the master, the slave is guilty." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"The shopkeeper of the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop came to find the slave maid and wanted to enter the house to learn art, but the slave maid should not take care of her."
"Did you promise her?"
"No, no! What do slaves and maids do to eat, slaves and maids know for themselves, and the skills in the house are used for the emperor to earn silver, so how can they be passed on casually? ”
"That's what you really did to her?"
"Yes, yes, the slave doesn't dare to lie, and she doesn't dare to say a word!"
"Really?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Mama Xi was almost stunned, and she didn't hear her master's question clearly, and she didn't answer what she asked.
Yun'er "fluttered" and smiled: "Okay, okay, get up quickly." ”
"Don't dare."
Yun'er gave Shui'er a look, and Shui'er stepped forward to help Mama Xi.
"You didn't promise her, but are you scared like this? Our skills are not for her to make money. How did you meet? ”
This will be Xi Mama has already come back to her senses, listening to Master Yun ask her, busy said: "The slave maid was selected to enter the palace, and at that time, the shopkeeper Gu was an embroidery girl who was specially recruited into the palace, and they were all on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, so they got acquainted." ”
"I thought you were fellow villagers. However, she is from Suzhou, she is Han, you were elected to the palace, you are Manchurian, but you can't be a fellow villager. Sounds familiar? ”
"It's okay, we've all been in the palace for ten years. She is in the embroidery bureau, and the slave maid is in the Shangyi bureau, and they often meet. Later, she left the palace and did not return to her hometown Suzhou, and opened an embroidery workshop in Beijing. ”
Mama Xi told the truth, and she didn't hide it at all. It stands to reason that she can pick herself up completely, after all, Gu Ruyi is looking for her to do things that are not good for the house. Yun'er is quite satisfied with this, what she hates most is people who lie to her face.
"It's honest to listen to Mama Xi, since you didn't promise her anything, you don't have any responsibility, she came to you, and you didn't ask her to come, is that so?"
"Yes, yes, the slave maid is a leaf sweeper, what right do you have to agree to her to enter the house?"
"It's good that you understand. Now, I'll tell you something else. You know Gu Ruyi, what do you think of her character? ”
"What the slave said is her own vision, not necessarily right. Gu Ruyi is a very generous person, and he is generous in everything he does. Especially studying art, a bit like a madman. I don't know where I saw the cross-stitch in our house, and I came to find the slave and maid to grind and grind hard, and I had to come into the house to learn, which frightened the slave and maid. There is also the price of the embroidery she sells is too high, her embroidery is used by one of her fellow Lu painters to paint a special draft, if other embroidery workshops appear in her family of the same embroidery, she will not finish with others, you have to investigate, is it a bit overbearing. Nothing else, the feeling of the slave is that this person is a little arrogant, and the character is also good, I haven't heard of anything unclear with a man, and I haven't heard of who she is pit or who she harms in the palace. ”
"Well, this person's personality is okay, her embroidery workshop is a bit of a specialty store, so how about we do business with her?"
"Master Yun is talking about ......"
"We sold her sketches, which are what I painted. It can be embroidered into a sketch of Suzhou embroidery. I have seen the embroidery in her shop, the embroidery is quite good, but the embroidery is a bit the same, I want her embroidery to be more lively. Isn't she a bit overbearing? Don't let others use her drawings to make embroidery, we will meet her wish. You can rest assured, our drawings must be better than her before, so the price of our drawings must be high, and the embroidery they embroidered with our drawings can only be sold in her family. Of course, the quality of the embroidery is good, the price will be high, and she will also earn. ”
"You're a great idea, even if you don't tell her, she won't pass it on. How do you sell it? You can't come forward ...... either"
"I can't come forward, don't I still have you? Don't worry, listen to what I ask. Let's sell her the sketches, and it's none of our business for her to do a few copies. But the first requirement is that the sketch cannot be transmitted; The second requirement is that it must be carefully crafted and cannot smash the brand; The third is that when you talk to her about business, you must not reveal that I painted the sketch. It is only said that the people in the house painted it; The fourth requirement is that you sell the sketch and get the money back, and I will give you a share. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. This is not a reward, but a reward you deserve. ”
"To illustrate, the size of the sketch I gave you is large or small, or flowers, or landscapes, or vegetables and fruits, or small animals are small animals. You can get paid 10% of it. There's an ugly sentence I'll say in my head first, don't play tricks in it, if you don't play with me with humanity, your monthly routine will never be there. I know you're from the palace......"
Mama Xi was so frightened that her face turned white, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Don't worry, master!" You must rest assured that slaves will never do that kind of deception! You gave the slave such an opportunity to make money, and the slave and maid are grateful, how can they do such a pickled thing that ignores their conscience? The slave swears ......"
"Okay, okay, no need to swear, I believe you. You wait for another three days or two days, I'll draw it and give it to you, you can see how much it's worth, and then go to Gu Ruyi to talk to her. She's not interested, don't force it. If she asks about other things and skills in the house, she won't answer, and she can't reveal a word to her! This is not my request, it is the request of the Queen Mother. In fact, this is also a trade secret. Technology, cost, and management methods cannot be disclosed to anyone. I trusted you to do this. ”
"You can rest assured, a hundred rest assured! The slave and maid must do this errand well and live up to the trust of you and the prince Fujin! ”
"Okay, that's it, you go back and wait for news first. In the garden, you sweep the leaves in the morning, do handicrafts in the afternoon, and do your handiwork according to it, if there is a sketch, you will go to sell paintings in the afternoon, and stop doing it by hand. ”
"Yes, yes, the slave and maid understand, so that the slave and the maid can earn three pieces of silver."
"You're very transparent, so go back."
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." After saying that, he stood up, took a few steps back, turned around and went out. As she walked along the road leading to the garden, Mama Xi felt that she had no more meat on her, and she felt as if she was about to fly. In addition to managing twenty rough maids and women who sweep leaves, they can also do handicrafts, and they can also help their masters sell paintings, even if a painting is sold for one or two silver, one percent of the profit is one hundred wen. A poor family can buy a hundred catties of stick noodles for a hundred pennies! As for himself, if he really can't find his in-laws, he will desperately save money, and if he has money in his hand, everyone will be treated. If you can get married, this money is a dowry. The subordinates of the officials' mansions have a rough monthly salary of 300 wen or even less. Just like that, the monthly money is still deducted, and people can be boarded at any time. When I entered the Rui Wang's Mansion, all the masters were so kind, even if they were rough, they were not boarded, slapped, or whipped. At most, it is a punishment station, a punishment for a month, and a few days to "wake up", and no matter how serious it is, it will be rolled up and rolled out. The prince built a mansion to live, and he didn't get a few people out in total, so he retired in this place!
People are all selfish, but they are different. This kind of thing, Mama Xi will not tell anyone, she can only steal the fun by herself. The few words that Fang Fujin said that seemed to be threatening, but in fact, there was no need to take it to heart. I didn't dare to hide the silver halfway when I lent myself a few guts, and behind Fang Fujin was the prince, who would dare to make her unhappy? If you don't do something wrong, you will naturally not be punished. Haha, one person earns three shares of silver, no, no, it should be said that he earns four shares, and the Queen Mother's share. It's just that that part of the silver is not easy to earn, if the stuffing is exposed, all three copies will be smashed, and maybe even the head will be gone. When I was happy, I suddenly became irritable, and how many people wanted to rebel? It's no wonder that people like Lord Rui can rebel! ...... year
"Oh, what's wrong with you? Straight eyes? Ilgenjue, who was also in charge of Mama, was scared of Mama Xi by shouting loudly, and glared at Mama Yi with disgust: "What is all the fuss about?" Whose eyes are hooked? ”
"Your old man's eyes are too special, when will you go home and prepare for the sixty-fourth dowry when you see the prince like this?"
"You're crazy! Full of nonsense, too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
"Hey, what's wrong with you? It seems that he was called by Fang Fujin and was trained? ”
"You've just been trained, but you're just asking about something."
"What's the matter? Didn't I give you a marriage? Who is the man? ”
"Come in and I'll tell you." Xi Mama rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, so frightened that she fled from the wind.
Yun'er told the prince who came to Feiyun Tower to rest about the sale of the manuscript, and the prince said: "You are in charge of this matter, you don't need to ask me, just hand over the silver to your father when the time comes." ”
"That's how you believe in Yun'er?"
"In my eyes, you, Fujin, your parents, Liangzi and the three guards, Doctor Zhu and the girls and grandmothers around Fujin and you are all trustworthy, as well as Suo Qing and ...... Hehehe, this king is happy, there are so many trustworthy people around him. Of course, the most believing is you, Fujin, your parents, and Liangzi. ”
"Yun'er, thank you for your trust." Say goodbye and give gifts.
"Alright, come and sit down." The prince took Yun'er's hand, pulled her to him, and said distressedly: "I always think that you can be fatter." ”
"People are prone to high blood pressure when they are fat, and people are lean meat, so they have to make people fat." Yun'er pursed her mouth coquettishly.
Wang Ye smiled: "People's concepts are different, I just think that being fat has immunity." ”
"What you said makes some sense, but Yun'er feels a little fat."
The prince looked Yun'er up and down, shook his head and said, "I can't see it." Then he asked:
"Have you bathed? Let's settle it after the bath. ”
"People have already bathed. What are you doing now? ”
"It's not about planting, it's autumn soon, and the fruit has to come down in large quantities and you have to prepare for harvesting. There's a lot to do, so take your time. ”
"How's Fu Jin's health?"
"It's much better, I eat therapeutic food and medicinal diet every day, it's not a big deal."
"It's okay, Fu Jin has a big heart, and there's no problem with anything."
"You're saying the opposite. Fu Jin's heart is not as wide as yours, she is careful, and she has to think about everything. I don't blame her for this, can a family like ours not think about it? You see how good the Queen Mother is with her, but she often makes surprise attacks on her. ”
"Huh? Surprise attack? What are you referring to? It's scary. "Yun'er is really scared.
"It's just that the Queen Mother always suspects that I have two hearts for the emperor, so we may go out to recruit troops. Just chatted with Fujin, chatting and chatting about what questions were suddenly asked. If you don't have mental preparation or the ability to improvise, you are likely to answer the wrong answer for a while. At that time, people have a handle. ”
"How can you do that to us? Let's make money for her mother and son regardless of our lives, not only do we have to build our capital, but we almost put our lives into it, and they are at ease? And then send one to us, right? That's weird, isn't it? At such an age, you don't even know how to do it? ”
"Don't impose your view of good and evil on others, you think so, that person is not. She felt that everyone in the world should be good to her, respectful of her, and afraid of her. It is natural to be good to her, and it is a matter of course. Because she is the emperor's mother. It doesn't matter if you put your life in it, or put your possessions in it, that's your business, but if you are suspected by her at any time, you may be accidentally sent to hell by her. Even if you are to be executed, it is a kindness, and you must die willingly. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. ”
"What is the truth of this? You have to thank him for beating and scolding people and cutting off people's heads, so it's not reasonable. Rao is like this, why are we still ......?"
"We are not doing things for her, for the next emperor, but not for the emperor himself, but for helping him establish a glorious history, which will be called 'Kangqian Shengshi' in later generations. This is the mission given to us by Master and Master, so let's not care who it is. ”
