Chapter 63: Master
Dashan thought about the things in the house, and said to his sister: "This main family is really good, not to mention us masters, even to the subordinates." I heard that the son of the wet nurse who served the girl, and both sons became the chief shopkeeper, that is, the chief shopkeeper of Cuijin Building and Qinghe Restaurant. I heard that the monthly money is very high. and the big maid who served the girl was also released, and she was the female shopkeeper of Cuijin Building and Qinghe Restaurant. The monthly money is the same as that of the male shopkeeper. ”
At this moment, Wu Lixia and Dashan's mother were strange: "How can a woman be a shopkeeper?" ”
Wu Dashan said: "Many of the Chen family's businesses are female shopkeepers, in addition to Qinghe Restaurant and Cuijin Building, I heard that there are also perfume shops, as well as breeding farms, all of which are female shopkeepers. Let's just say Cuijin Building, there is a big workshop in Ancheng, which is full of daughters-in-law who work, who have 600 big money every month, and those who take one or two silver, that is, to do needlework. ”
At this time, Wu Lixia and her mother were very surprised. Wu Lixia asked: "What is a farm, I know the perfume shop, it is the perfume that Cuijinlou made some time ago, although I don't have the money to buy it, but he can go there for free for the first few days, and I also went with the girl to get a drop on my body, and the clothes are fragrant for several days." ”
Wu Dashan said: "Actually, I don't know what the farm is, I don't know what the perfume shop is, how do I know these people, I listen to those people on weekdays." Nowadays, the people in Chen's mansion learn their skills whenever they have time, some learn cooking, some learn needlework, some learn accounting, and they all want to go out and become shopkeepers. ”
Wu Lixia was full of curiosity about this Chen Mansion. Wu Lixia's mother said: "Now the daughters-in-law of Ancheng are also having a better time, they can go to the workshop to do needlework to make money, 600 yuan a month, but they earn more than a man, and now they can straighten their waists in front of men and mothers-in-law." ”
Wu Lixia was stunned when she said this, and she thought about it. If she could earn two hundred taels of silver a year before, her father-in-law would not dislike her for not being able to work, and her mother-in-law wouldn't dare to bully her casually, and that little concubine wouldn't even want to enter the door. Don't talk about them, it's her sister-in-law, who used to show her face every day, and her eldest brother and mother have clashed with her sister-in-law for this, but what should I do? The sister-in-law has given birth to several children in their family, so she can't take her sister-in-law off for her. Therefore, although the eldest brother and mother suppress the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law still troubles her every day. Sometimes she wants to die. Now, I have a job to do, and the owner gives me a lot of money, so my sister-in-law immediately changed her face. It's faster than flipping through a book. It can be seen that what my mother said was right.
On the one hand, Wu Dashan went home, on the other hand, it was mainly double happiness, Wu Dashan was going to be an official, Wu Lixia had work to do, and Yan made several dishes, although there were no meat dishes, because it was too late to sell meat, but the vegetarian dishes were also delicious. During the meal, Yan was very enthusiastic about her sister-in-law Wu Lixia, and she tried to pick up vegetables for her. Wu Lixia's face was faint.
Two days later, Wu Lixia packed up her simple baggage and went to Ancheng by car with her brother.
In the past two days, Chen Wenhui has been very excited, urging her mother to clean up the West Cross Courtyard. The Bai family asked people to clean it up, but Chen Wenhui was still not at ease, so she took Qiu Bi to take a look at it again, and felt that there was still a shortage of things in the house, and she wrote it down very carefully, and made a whole list. took it to the Bai family and said, "Mother, this is for my master, I can pay for it myself, don't pay for it in public." ”
After speaking, he called Qiu Bi, and Qiu Bi hurriedly took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from her purse. Bai Shi couldn't cry and laughed: "Oh, this master is better than me, you have never bought anything for me, now you have to buy something for the master, but you haven't seen this master yet." ”
Chen Wenhui was embarrassed, and was busy with her mother: "Mother, have you eaten my master's vinegar?" I'll buy you things in the future, but now I'm just afraid that the master will live alone in the West Cross Courtyard, and the things I need will not be easy to find for a while, so I want to buy them in advance. Mother, if you want something, I'll buy it for you. ”
Bai Shi smiled: "Okay, little monkey, don't please me here, your little money is given to you by me and your father, how can you ask for money from a child to buy things in the house." Both of your brothers have masters, and there is more than one. There are masters who teach and study, there are masters who teach horseback riding, and there are masters who teach kung fu. I didn't see that it was all your brothers who paid for it. Okay, Qiubi will collect the money. I'll see what it is, and I'll send the little servant to buy it tomorrow, don't waste my Hui'er's filial piety to the master. ”
Qiu Bi hurriedly put away the silver ticket, Chen Wenhui glared at Qiu Bi, and said, "You just feel sorry for the money, and as soon as your mother says it, you will be busy putting it away." ”
Qiu Bi said aggrievedly: "But Mrs. said to put it away, I am listening to Mrs. ”
The Bai family didn't care about the affairs of the master and servant, but looked at the list seriously, and was very surprised at first glance. Because the things listed on the list are too detailed, there are hand towels, bath beans, bath buckets, toothbrushes, green salt, head ropes, combs, grates, mirrors, makeup clips, etc., of which there are ten hand towels alone. Bai Shi asked: "Hui'er, why do you still prepare ten hand towels for the master, and also indicate that you want large and small pieces." ”
Wen Hui said: "Because some wipe their faces, some take a bath, some use them in the practice field, some use them in the bedroom, some take them out to use, and some use them at home." ”
Bai Shi nodded, and said, "She should have brought these masters herself, and if she didn't bring them, wouldn't she still buy them?" According to the rules of our house, we will give one hundred taels of silver as soon as we come, and the remaining one hundred taels will be given after one year of teaching, and there will be silver coins for New Year's holidays. Even if she doesn't have any savings, she's not afraid. ”
Wen Hui said: "I heard my father tell her situation, she is widowed in her mother's house, and she was kicked out by her mother-in-law, she must have no long things, her brother is Master Wu, she is almost forty years old, her sister-in-law must be not young, such a sister-in-law must be in charge, she is widowed in her mother's house and has no money, her sister-in-law may treat her badly, so who prepares these things for her?" She can have silver when she comes, but she is not from Anseong, she may not know where to buy things if she wants to, and the things used by these women, even her brother may not know where they are sold, so I prepared them in advance, isn't it good? ”
Bai Shi was moved: "Hui'er thinks very much, it's rare that you think so clearly at a young age." It's rare that you haven't met the master, so you think about her like this. This will fulfill you well. Red carp, go and call Chen Cai's family to come, and let her go and buy these things in person, and they must be picked and bought. ”
The red carp hurriedly agreed.
Two days later, Wu Lixia and Wu Dashan came together. Wu Dashan couldn't see his wife in the outer courtyard, so he asked Wu Lixia to meet the Bai family by herself. Bai specially received in the flower hall.
Wu Lixia saw that Bai was wearing a rose-red woven gold gown, a pine-colored flower-sprinkled skirt, a red golden lotus seat on her head, a ruby inlaid flower, a four-strand gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, and a small ivory comb, a red gold lantern pendant inlaid with rubies on her ears, and a red gold collar inlaid with pearls on her neck.
Wu Lixia walked the rivers and lakes in her early years, and also ran to the dart board. Female dart masters are generally dedicated to protecting female dependents. I have more contact with those ladies, so I still have an eye for seeing things, and I can see at a glance that the ruby in this set of jewelry is authentic pigeon blood, and the pearl is a fine southern pearl, which is not only valuable, but also fine workmanship, which makes Wu Lixia's heart even more panicked.
Bai Shi was kind and pleasant, invited her to sit down, let the maid serve tea, and asked her a lot of words, roughly did she eat? If you don't want to leave home, you can come here as your own home, and you just have to open your mouth. Wu Lixia answered one by one, and thanked Bai again.
After a few words, Wu Lixia was not so restrained, and found that the little girl sitting next to her had been collecting a lot of her. I couldn't help but look at it. I thought this was the apprentice. Because of her young age, Chen Wenhui did not keep her head, combed her double bun, wore beaded flowers, bright and bright, but if she looked closely, she was dressed in pearls and rubies, and she was also a ruby of Nanzhu and pigeon blood, and she was wearing a jade pendant on her ears, which seemed to be bright and green, and she was wearing a shallow grass green woven gold robe, revealing a garnet red skirt. He wears a gold ring on his hand and a gold collar around his neck, set with sapphires and rubies. A pair of eyes are like cold stars, not like children's eyes at all.
I only heard Bai Shi say: "Sister Wu, you will be Hui'er's master in the future, the master is like a father, this female master is like a mother, I will call you sister in the future." ”
Wu Lixia suddenly became nervous: "No, madam, how can you, a nobleman, call me such a sister?" ”
Bai said: "Deserve it." Don't look at our mother's two children dressed very magnificently today, that's because Hui'er is going to apprentice today, naturally it should be just some, usually we are not like this at home, you don't want to be detained. ”
Wu Lixia had to postpone it, this is what Chen Wenhui said: "Master, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held now." Mom is all ready in the backyard. ”
Wu Lixia didn't expect that there would be a proper apprenticeship ceremony. Generally, the teachers of the rich and noble families who ask for martial arts do not perform many rituals, and the apprenticeship is only done when they consult the teacher who reads poetry and books. Unexpectedly, the Chen family invited a female boxer and foot master for the girl to also hold an apprenticeship ceremony. Just as he wanted to shirk it, Bai Shi had already instructed the little maid to prepare, and at the same time pulled her away.
Wu Lixia was already a person who was not good at words, and now she was even more speechless when she gave Bai Shi, so she had to follow.
