Chapter 175: Picking Up Hair (Supplementing Yesterday's Update)
Thirteen and Yang Wu are about the same size, however, one has slightly white skin and the other is darker, although both of them were born in poor families, but their appearance is upright, and their temperaments are different. Moreover, Vanilla had a slight contact with both of them.
Yang Wu is cheerful and easy-going, as long as you talk to him, he will smile at you, which is very easy to win people's affection.
And Thirteen, who always has a serious face on weekdays, speaks in a straight tone, never says a word of nonsense, and wants to talk to him about a few more gags, which is not good, because people don't pay attention to you at all.
This is also what makes vanilla angry.
Vanilla is one year older than Fox Xiaomei, the same age as Fox Lixiang, at the age of saying kiss, her old son is also a subordinate of the Wei Mansion, although she has not mixed into the position of the steward, but the relationship with several stewards in the house is very good, and she is also an old man in the Wei Mansion. She also has a younger brother below, and her old son has always wanted to marry her to a boy with a status background in the house.
However, Vanilla looks average, has a fat round face, and has always been rough like a man when she speaks and acts, but she is still a high-eyed person, and she finally looked at a kid last year, but people thought she didn't speak gently enough, and Vanilla was so angry that she pointed at the kid's nose and scolded her.
Since then, the reputation of vanilla shrew has spread, and no one dares to marry her. I went outside to look for it, but there was no suitable one.
Later, she simply asked the master of the house to be kind and put the herbs on the farm, first, to see if she could find a suitable boy to marry, and secondly, she wanted to wait for two years for the master to transfer her back to the house, then this joke should fade.
Naturally, Vanilla is also very anxious about her own family affairs.
Pretty much all the old people on the farm know about it.
Vanilla now looks at Thirteen and Yang Wu, the more they look at it, the more pleasing it becomes. In my heart, I have begun to silently evaluate the comparison between the two people. The appearance is suitable, but it's a pity that this background is a little worse.
Vanilla was in trouble in her heart again, but she thought about it, Yang Wu Zui Tian will please people, Thirteen is a capable person, no matter which one it is, if there is her father to help her when the time comes, she will say good things in front of the master of the mansion and transfer it back to the Wei Mansion for reuse. That's not to be taken for granted.
Come to think of it. A smile finally appeared on Vanilla's face.
The three of them stood in the room and watched the various expressions on Vanilla's face, one moment worried, one moment sad, and one moment happy. I don't know what she's thinking. No matter how you say it. She is the largest in this place except for the steward.
So the three of them did not speak, but looked at each other. Nose contemplats the heart, quietly waits.
Finally figured it out in his heart, and had an idea, Vanilla suddenly saw that Yang Wu and Thirteen looked different, it was shiny and shining.
Hu Xiaomei was wondering in her heart, so she got up and walked out of the house, and called a girl who was about the same age as Hu Xiaomei outside.
Pointing to the fox Xiaomei, he said, "You and Yuhe!" Let's get out. ”
Fox Xiaomei was stunned, looked at the girl next to her, thin eyebrows and long eyes, very beautiful girl, smiling, and looked very kind, so she looked at the thirteen and walked out of the house with the jade.
As soon as the front foot stepped out of the house, the back foot heard the voice of vanilla from inside: "You two are busy all morning, you should be tired, there is water here, drink hot water." ”
Fox Xiaomei sighed: She didn't even drink hot water in the morning.
Yuhe Xu saw her thoughts, so he smiled and said, "You have only been here for a few days, I don't know, vanilla is like that." Don't be careful. ”
Hu Xiaomei didn't understand what she meant: "Which one?" ”
Yuhe covered his mouth and laughed, his slender eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a crescent moon: "She hasn't found her in-law yet." ”
"Huh? What does it matter? Fox Xiaomei was stunned, and immediately came back to her senses, and opened her mouth in surprise: "Could it be that she has taken a fancy to the two of them?" ”
"Not really." Yuhe brought the fox Xiaomei to a courtyard wall, so that she could see the ducks in the duck farm, and it would not blow too cold.
"We all know that vanilla is very sweet, so when we see a man we like, we will always observe it secretly for a while. However, her old son is an errand boy in the house, and I am afraid she can't look down on such a person. ”
It means that the Xianglan family, who don't even have a home, like Thirteen and Yang Wu, can't look down on them.
"However, the eldest girl's family looks at each other, and she is not ashamed of herself?" Fox Xiaomei said curiously.
"She doesn't care about that!"
Then, Hu Xiaomei asked Yuhe about other things about the duck farm, Yuhe was a very talkative girl, knew everything, and said everything. I kindly told Hu Xiaomei.
The whole farm is managed by the eldest prince of Weifu, the eldest prince is the son of Weifu, and there is a second son below, the second son is a concubine, who has been idle before, this year, Master Wei handed over some things on the farm to the second prince to manage, saying that it is an experience, in fact, it includes this duck farm.
Originally, there was only one steward in the duck farm, but later, after the second son came, another steward was added, that is, Wei Dashan. Now everyone calls the original steward the chief steward, and Wei Dashan the second steward.
The eldest son and the second son look at harmony, but in fact there are still a lot of contradictions, the master is not in harmony, and the minions below are naturally intrigued.
At this time, the big steward went out, and the affairs of the duck farm were all managed by the second steward, and he took the opportunity to stretch out his hand to every corner of the duck farm. Originally, the chief steward had two relatives who wanted to go to the duck farm on an errand, but he had to let the second steward be assigned to other places, so he let Hu Xiaomei, Thirteen, Hu Liyun and Tan all be assigned here.
There are too many people in charge, or their hearts are not aligned, and the people below are not easy to do. Often the chief steward says that he wants this, and the second steward prefers to do so. So that they, the people of the moment, don't know who to listen to.
"Whose person is Sister-in-law Qin?" Hu Xiaomei didn't expect that as soon as she entered the Wei Mansion, she would face the problem of choosing a faction and taking a stand.
"Of course it's the eldest prince." Yuhe said, it was not difficult to hear her respect for Sister-in-law Qin in her tone: "Sister-in-law Qin was originally from the house, she has always been fair and just, easy-going to treat people, and she takes care of us on weekdays." ”
Then he told Fox Xiaomei about other things in the duck farm. For example, although there are two stewards, the power of the chief steward is still greater than that of the second steward, and the second steward rarely dares to refute the matters decided by the chief steward in person, but he always has to find some other reasons or things to block the chief steward, and the chief steward does not want to make too much trouble because the second steward is the second son.
Most of the people in the duck farm are downwind, and wherever the wind goes, they all go in which direction. Now, the chief steward is not there, and few people listen to Sister-in-law Qin's words. The big guys are all going to take care of the second thing.
There are also some things to pay attention to at the duck farm on weekdays. However, in addition to the duck farm, the other farms, Yuhe is not very clear.
A few days down, Hu Xiaomei and the duck farm people in the yard have to get along, except for the best relationship with Yuhe, no one else has been offended, she is very kind to everyone, these days, except for their turn to clean the duck shed in the morning, the rest of the time Hu Xiaomei is with Yuhe, vanilla always has to share with other jobs to Thirteen, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, Hu Xiaomei tried to talk to Thirteen several times, but did not find the opportunity.
After noon on this day, the second steward Wei Dashan came. The weather is good these days, and it has not rained, the duck farm is very dry, Wei Dashan turned around in the duck farm, full of food and drink, most of the ducks are staying in the duck shed, and there are a lot of duck feathers in the duck farm outside.
The timing was perfect.
"Before the ducks are out of the shed, you quickly pick up these duck feathers......"
Then, Vanilla took out a few ducks and instructed everyone: "Hurry up, pick up all the duck feathers on the ground, separate the clean ones from the dirty ones, and don't want those that can't be cleaned up." ”
Everyone walked to the duck farm with the duck board, and the fox Xiaomei and the thirteen glanced at each other and picked up the duck feathers?
It turned out that she was still in her heart, but she regretted that so much eiderdown was going to be wasted, but she didn't expect that the steward would ask them to pick up all the eiderdown and put it up.
Hu Xiaomei glanced at Thirteen, walked towards Yuhe with a puff, and asked her while picking it up, "What are we doing with these duck feathers?" ”
"Oh, of course you didn't know when you came, the duck feathers on our farm are useful, and the duck feathers of other people are used to throw away, and we are going to use this one to make clothes."
Fox Xiaomei was shocked!
She tried her best to hide the shock on her face.
"Making clothes? Can this thing be used to make clothes? Fox Xiaomei cleared her throat and asked pretending to be curious.
"I don't know about this, anyway, we'll pack up the duck feathers for the past two months and send them out."
Two months ago, that is, before the natural disaster, Hu Xiaomei wondered, but at that time she hadn't heard of imitation jackets on the market? But maybe there is, not in Weijia Town, in a place like Weixian.
"Who wants all this?"
"I don't know, the manager didn't say anything, maybe it was sold to someone. Like the ducks on our farm, the cattle and sheep are all transported to other places to sell! Yuhe said proudly: "In Wei County, it is the largest farm in our Wei Mansion, although several other families also have farms, they can't compare with us." Our Wei County Wei Clan and the Capital City Wei Clan are a family, and there are many big officials in the Cheng Wei Clan, so our Wei Mansion's business can still spread all over the Celestial Empire......"
Yuhe avoided the horn and praised how the Wei Mansion was so resting. Seeing that the more she talked, the more off-topic she became, Hu Xiaomei hurriedly interrupted her: "Then let's just pick up this duck feather and pack it up?" ”
"Then how to do it, you have to wash all these duck feathers and dry them before you can use them." Saying that, Yuhe took the dry mud on a duck feather and said: "You see how you can use this kind of hair with mud, it must be washed." And you have to pick it again, some are too hard to want. ”
Hearing this, Hu Xiaomei had some guesses in her heart, these duck feathers must have been used to make her down jacket, but I don't know who wanted it?
The cleaning process is rough, the selection is also very random, the down jacket made is definitely not as warm and comfortable as she does, such a large duck farm, and geese, how many down jackets do you make!
Hu Xiaomei was indignant in her heart, who is it? Does it have anything to do with the sewing shop? (To be continued.) )
