Da Niu disagreed, and he still wanted to take the money. Gui Yuxia said: "Brother Da Niu, I'm about to discuss with you, not only don't you have to take the money this month, even your two acres of land don't have to be sold, just plant it for your eldest sister's family." It is also not easy for her, there are many children in the family, and life is also very poor. As for the money we went to Nanyang to buy a family business, although I gave my family a settling-in fee, but today, the county lord said that when I get married, he will give me a hundred taels of silver to press the bottom of the box, with this one hundred taels, we can buy 200 acres of land, isn't it possible to buy an industry? ”

Da Niu couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Didn't you already give five hundred taels of settlement fees?" How can there be a hundred taels? This county lord is too rich, right? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Isn't this my bottom money?" In addition to these, there is also a dowry. By the way, the county lord said that we have lived in this courtyard since we got married. As for all the utensils, there is no need to buy them, after two days, there will be people from the wedding shop to come over, measure the size, and when the time comes, the wedding shop will buy us a dowry, everything, we don't have to care. I won't be in the house then, so you can entertain me. At the very least, make a pot of tea. ”

San Niu'er's eyes widened: "What is a happy shop?" ”

Gui Yuxia said with a smile: "I heard this when I was in the palace, many people in the city are impatient to buy dowries and the like, especially some decent maids from large families get married, and the master will always reward a good dowry, but where does the master have the kung fu and the spirit to buy it one by one, there will be a happy shop, and the master will hand over the silver to the happy shop, and the happy shop will be purchased according to the amount of silver." I heard that the things that are purchased are very complete, furniture, clothes, and quilts. Jewelry, fat powder, everything. Saves trouble. ”

Da Niu said: "Then this is also the silver from the county lord, and I will marry a daughter-in-law." It's all the county lord's money, what's going on? ”

Gui Yuxia sneered and said, "This is the grace of the master's reward. We accept it with peace of mind, and we will be faithful to our master in the future. ”

When Da Niu heard this, his eyes gradually became firm and said: "This kindness will not be forgotten, and we must be loyal to the county lord." Yuxia, you must be careful when you do things for the county, Sanniuer, you have to study hard. I learned it to be good for the county to do things. ”

Gui Yuxia and San Niu'er both stood up sternly and said, "Of course, we have received great favor from the county lord, and we must work hard." ”

Da Niu frowned and said, "Hey, it's a pity, I can't do things for the county with my body." ”

Gui Yuxia thought about it and said, "Brother Niu, didn't the doctor say that you can cure it?" Although I can't do heavy work in the future, I still have no problem doing some light work, and I arrived in Nanyang. The county lord said that from the beginning, people are needed everywhere. You can also contribute to the county lord when the time comes. ”

Da Niu nodded and said, "Yes, if I can really be cured, this life will be sold to the county lord." ”

San Niu'er suddenly asked: "Eldest sister, you talk about the county lord every day, how old is the county lord?" How did I hear that she was still a child? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "The county lord is eleven years old this year. ”

Da Niu and San Niu were suddenly stunned: "Why is it so small?" ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "How can you call a girl if you're not eleven years old?" It's called a girl who is not married, if she is old, she will not marry? ”

This is also the case when you think about it.

Gui Yuxia said: "Don't compare the eleven-year-old children in our village with the county lord, I am in the palace, and those little palace maids can become second-class palace maids at the age of eleven." Is there even someone who can be a palace maid? The girls from rich and noble families are even more powerful, and they have been literate and hyphenated since childhood. Able to manage a lot of industries. When I was in the palace, I heard about it. The girls of the Chen family are all capable. The current imperial concubine is the eldest aunt of the county lord, who entered the palace in her teens. Before entering the palace, that is, the county lord was already managing the huge industry of the Chen Mansion at his current age, and there were hundreds of mouthfuls of food, drink and Lazar in a large family. When he entered the palace, he was still the prince Liangdi at that time, and he helped the princess take care of the affairs of the prince's mansion. Now, the entire palace, tens of thousands of palace maids, and countless concubines are under her control. There is also Princess Jin, who is the cousin of the county lord. It was also the county lord who began to manage all the things of the Chen Mansion at the age of his entire age. Married at the age of sixteen, he took care of a large palace. Even the emperor praised Princess Jin for being a good daughter-in-law. ”

Gui Yuxia saw that these two people liked to listen to it very much, and then said: "For the county lord, before, there were many rumors in the palace, all of which said that she was actually the favorite niece of the imperial concubine. By the way, the imperial concubine has many nieces. The eldest niece is the princess of Jin, the second niece is a concubine, the prince Liangdi who became the prince before, the third niece is Mrs. Hou Shizi of Jinxiang, the fourth niece, and the fifth niece have all entered the palace, and now they are all the emperor's concubines. Our county lord is the sixth in line, the sixth girl of the Chen family. Look, how powerful are the daughters of the Chen family? There are so many powerful cousins, the imperial concubine still likes her the most, it can be seen how good she is. ”

How do you know these palace secrets, as the common people's big cow and three girls? Now she was surprised when she heard it, and San Niu'er said, "None of us can compare." ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Everyone in the capital says that they would rather marry a maid than a small wife. That's it, you can learn a lot in the mansion. Sanniuer, you are now an opportunity, although you have not entered the county lord's mansion, you are just a female worker in the workshop, but if you are competitive, learn well, and have exquisite skills, you can also be promoted to the county lord's mansion, that is what you can learn, whether you eat well, clothes all year round, there are happy events and rewards in the master's family during the New Year's holidays, and if you do a good job, the master will also be rewarded with jewelry. And you can learn very well, and when the time comes, you can start a family on your own, and you can also have the ability to take care of things in an orderly manner. Besides, we ordinary people are the most vulnerable to bullying, haven't we heard the county order of the broken family, the prefect who destroyed the door? Any official can crush us to death. But if we were the people in the house, those officials wouldn't dare to bully. This is a good shade under the big tree. Haven't you heard of the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister? The slaves who guard the prime minister's house are equivalent to the seven-rank official, what is the seven-rank official? It's a county order, a county parent official. ”

Da Niu and San Niu'er were stunned when they heard this, and San Niu'er said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard." ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Just have this heart, while it's not too late at night, I'll teach you some first." I have a lot of fabrics here, so I will teach you how to recognize the fabrics and learn the basic stitching techniques. ”

Da Niu lay on the bed, watching the two sisters teach under the light, and suddenly felt very peaceful in his heart, since he was injured, he had never been quiet.

The next day, Gui Yuxia was busy and had no choice, yesterday she had already determined the style of the county lord's dress with her sisters, and Gui Yuxia personally cut the clothes and distributed them to four people, including herself, each of whom was responsible for a part of the embroidery. This dress is easy to make, mainly because the embroidery on it is very cumbersome and takes a long time.

After the distribution, Gui Yuxia looked at the other four tailors and embroideries for the county lord's summer clothes. I was watching, there was a commotion, but the carriages from the house to pick up the apprentices had arrived. Gui Yuxia and the others hurriedly put down their work and took their respective apprentices to the housekeeper to sign the contract. The account room was very well prepared, and it was prepared in advance, and when I got there, I read out the contents of the contract and explained it again, and then began to sign them one by one. This contract is a ten-year employment contract, so these apprentices are not slaves, they are all Chen Wenhui's employees.

After signing, it was time for lunch, and someone from the kitchen had already come to serve the meal. No one has ever eaten such a delicious meal, especially the meat, and it is very sweet. After the meal, Gui Yuxia and the others packed their bags and took the apprentices to the workshop. Before leaving, the bookkeeper and the housekeeper came over to distribute the monthly rules to everyone. The new apprentice was six hundred big bucks. Gui Yuxia and her eight palace maids are ten taels of silver. Gui Yuxia's younger brother Gui Er has already arrived in the capital and lives in that small courtyard to serve the big cow.

Gui Yuxia took the apprentices to the small courtyard. Most of Gui Yuxia's land is owned by relatives and people from her own village. They didn't expect to be paid as soon as they came, so they hurriedly gave the money to Gui Er and asked him to take the money home and subsidize the family. Gui Er was busy recording it. Fortunately, Gui Er learned to write for a few days with the private school in the village, and he could write some simple words, so he recorded it clearly, and after two or three days, they all went to the workshop, and Da Niu's condition improved, so he went back to the village and brought back their respective wages and their words.

After Gui Yuxia made all the arrangements, she took everyone to follow the carriage in the house to the workshop, and when they arrived at the workshop, they naturally taught with their hearts, because these apprentices had seen the wealth of the house, and they were also paid, such a high salary was beyond their imagination. I want to stay after three months, and it is best to get the most salary, so I have worked hard to study and work hard, and Feiguang is very happy to see it.

Chen Wenhui was also very happy to receive Feiguang's report, thinking, these eight embroiderers have played a great role, but I don't know what happened to the eight carpenters, eight goldsmiths, and eight porcelain masters?

Chen Wenhui was a little free that night, so she called Chen Cai to ask, Chen Cai said: "Since I told these craftsmen about the rules of our house, they are all very motivated, originally these people are all craftsmen in the family for generations, father and brother are in this line, and they have brought a lot of apprentices, and many of them have opened shops in the capital, and they are all leaders in this industry." Moreover, because they all entered the internal affairs office and ate the imperial grain, they are naturally the head of the family. Now that they were given to the girl by the imperial concubine all of a sudden, and the hereditary position was gone, they were all very unhappy. But the emperor's order is difficult, these people are very shrewd, and immediately judge the situation, thinking that it may be better to follow us to Nanyang than in the capital, and besides, girl, you promise heavy profits, naturally they will be tempted. Every craftsman dragged his family to follow us to Nanyang, and also brought his apprentices, even the apprentices' families. I counted it yesterday, and now these 24 craftsmen have brought more than 600 craftsmen at once, and now these 24 craftsmen have become stewards, and they will receive a monthly salary of ten taels of silver a month.
