Although Jiang Xun did not agree to let Jiang Chun be a maid, the parties agreed, and they were very happy, so he couldn't control this matter.

"What is this?" Jiang Chun looked at the paper in his hand, his face full of doubts.

Jiang Qu said: "You and I have been in school for a month, and I write so plainly, I should understand it, right?" ”

Jiang Chun nodded: "You can understand it, but what does it mean?" She was still confused.

"To put it simply, I hired you to be my maid for five years. I will give you a hundred dollars a month, and after five years you will be free, whether it is marriage or anything else, it is up to you. This is what we said at the beginning, what do you think? If there is no problem, sign and draw, and the letter of appointment is established. Jiang Qu said.

Jiang Chun looked at the words on the paper carefully, learning to read for a month, although she still has a lot of words that she can't write, she can still understand it. Jiang Quinoa wrote very clearly on the paper that she would be hired for five years, from which day to which day it would end, and how much money she would pay each month during the five years was also very clear. Although she is very unfamiliar with monthly money, she heard that large families pay their subordinates on a monthly basis, and Uncle Qing and Aunt Rong in the house are, but she didn't expect that she would be able to get a hundred big money every month as a maid.

"Isn't it a little too much?" Jiang Chun spoke.

Jiang Quinoa laughed: "If you give it to you, take it, and if it's okay, draw it." ”

Jiang Chun accepted the paper and said with some uncertainty: "I want to go back and ask my mother, I can't be the master of this matter." ”

Jiang Qu nodded and let her go back. I walked to the table and began to practice calligraphy again, Aunt Rong washed her clothes and dried them in the yard, looking at her in front of the window practicing calligraphy seriously, she was distressed and helpless.

The search for the embroidery girl was not as smooth as the master's, and Qing Bo went out to inquire for a long time, but he didn't find a suitable embroidery girl to come back. The embroidery girl with good craftsmanship is either in the big family in the city to be an embroiderer, or in the embroidery village, others all refrain from coming to the countryside, and those with poor craftsmanship are willing to come, but Qingbo can't look down on it, so this matter is stranded.

Aunt Rong also knows some handicrafts, although she is not very proficient, it is not difficult to make shoes and socks in ordinary sewing, and she has taught Jiang Quinoa before, but Jiang Quinoa wants to learn more than sewing and making shoes and socks. Jiang Quinoa was in a hurry to urge this, and Qing Bo also took it to heart, and often ran to the city, it is said that he has already seen an embroidery girl, and is talking about the conditions for the family to agree.

At the next day, Jiang Chun's mother pulled Jiang Chun to find Jiang Quinoa, saying that she wanted to sign and draw a pledge, and at the same time raised objections.

"Chun'er eats the girl's, lives with the girl, and the girl also lets her read and write, it's too late for us to be grateful, how can we ask for the girl's money, we can't ask for the money this month." Jiang Chun's mother said that she didn't agree to ask for monthly money.

Jiang Qu said sincerely: "Auntie, I asked Jiang Chun to be my maid, there was already gossip in the village, if I don't give the monthly money again, won't this make people poke my backbone?" Seeing that Jiang Chun's mother was still talking, Jiang Quinoa said: "And I haven't raised Jiang Chun for nothing in the past few years, she is plain and diligent, and she rushes to the kitchen, vegetable garden, laundry and cooking, which also reduces the burden on Aunt Rong and Sister Lotus." Besides, she is getting older day by day, so she has to save something for herself, she has to get a monthly salary for other people's helpers, why can't other people take mine? ”

Jiang Chun's mother was obviously moved by Jiang Quinoa's words, but she was still a little unsteady, and whispered: "That's still too much, it's enough to give fifty big money, no, just give twenty." ”

Jiang Quinoa said funny: "Auntie, we don't buy things and bargain, the price I give is fair and reasonable, let's just pay this price and draw a bet." ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and a month ago, everyone heard that Jiang Chun was asked to go to Jiang Qu's house to be a maid for her, and they all felt that Jiang Quinoa had done a little too much in this matter. Even if you are beaten, kneeling for three days and three nights is considered atonement, how can you let your sisters of the same clan give you the status quo?

There was a lot of gossip outside, and Aunt Rong and Jiang Chun and her mother listened to it, but unfortunately no one listened to their words, and there were all kinds of malicious speculations, and suddenly Jiang Quinoa's reputation was much worse.

Then a month later, things took a turn for the worse, Jiang Chun could get a hundred big money a month as a maid, and she could also read and write with Jiang Quinoa, and most importantly, she was not sold to Jiang Quinoa, but was hired for five years. The difference between selling oneself and hiring is huge. If you sell yourself, you are a slave, but you are still a good family when you are hired, not only can you get monthly money and you will be free after five years, who doesn't want such a good thing?

So people with the same idea found Aunt Rong one after another, hoping to walk, and also sent their own daughters to be Jiang Quinoa's maid for five years. Aunt Rong sent one person after another to the door funny, and at the same time scolded several women who had spoken ill of her own girl before, and her heart was happy.

Where is the lack of maids? Even if she really lacks a maid, she will go to the city to buy a net worth, and she can sign a death deed, so what's the matter if she is hired for five years? Just raised, cooked, used to let people go home? Isn't that a problem for yourself? Jiang Quinoa hired Jiang Chun just to give her a way to live.

It took two days of commotion before the family stopped. The people outside were rejected, and they were jealous of the 100 big money a month, and they more or less said something bad about Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun outside, even Jiang Chun's mother also listened to a lot of gossip, which made her a little restless.

Here, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun ignored the gossip outside, and compared each other more vigorously every day, who was praised by Mr. for his smooth endorsement, whose handwriting improved, who could answer Mr.'s questions, and so on. may be because of the comparison, the progress of the two is very fast and obvious, and even Liao Xiucai was very surprised, praising the two of them for their hard work.

Qing Bo wrote to Jiang Xun who was far away in the capital about the words that Liao Xiucai praised, and got his reply, and also praised Jiang Quinoa a little, and even brought a female ring back, saying that it was funded and printed by a noble lady in the capital, and it was only sent to a few good friends, so it was very precious.

If she could get Jiang Xun's praise before, Jiang Quinoa could not sleep for a few days happily, even if she praised it, she could say dozens of times and hundreds of times, and she would definitely treasure the books she appreciated as treasures and take them out for observation every day. But now she won't, and after turning two pages of the women's ring, she has no interest in the above things at all. But for the sake of face, it took two days to memorize it, and Qingbo told Jiang Xun when he wrote the letter again, and this time the reward came quickly, but it was no longer a book, but a big living person.
