While everyone was talking nonsense, Gui Yuxia said: "Don't talk about this now, you can go home in the afternoon to see it." Now let's talk first, who stays, who goes to Nanyang first? ”

In a word, it stumped everyone. After thinking for a while, Cui Xi said: "Sister Yuxia, why don't we wait until we go home and have a look before deciding, if the family is not settled well for a while, we will choose to stay, and if the family can go together, we will go first, okay?" ”

Gui Yuxia thought for a moment and said, "That's right, let's wait until I go back and have a look today." ”

As he was talking, the curtain at the door moved, and the housekeeper Chen Cai's family, with Chen Wenhui's big maid Yujin and a few little maids, entered the door.

Gui Yuxia and others hurriedly greeted and saluted. Chen Caijia said with a smile on his face: "What comes out of the palace is different, this rule is good, in fact, although the rules in our family are strict, we don't need so many courtesies." This one is the first powerful big girl next to the girl. The big girls around our girl were Feiguang and Yinhong, they were all big girls next to Mrs., and they had already been released to get married. Feiguang is now the big shopkeeper of Cuijin Building, and the dividends alone are more than 3,000 taels every year. Yin Hong is the chief chef of Qinghe Restaurant, and the annual dividend is more than 4,000 taels. Later, the girl used Qiubi, Green Bud, Cuiqiao, and Bilian four big girls. These four big girls were trained by the girl to be very capable, and they did a lot of big things, and now they are all released to manage the industry for the girl. Now the girls are serving the four girls Yujin, Yudai, Xia He, and Xia Yu in close service, and you can just find these four girls if you have anything. ”

Gui Yuxia and the others were surprised, how could the maids around the county lord make so much money, and on the other hand, they were surprised, how could the Chen family use their subordinates so much, and they all had to be released to take charge of themselves.

I was surprised though. However, they also understand that they later. has been Chen Wenhui's slave all her life, so she naturally wants to please Chen Wenhui's eldest maid. Busy cordial and jade brocade courtesy. Yujin smiled and said, "I'm young. I don't know much, my sisters are all people who will do things for the girls in the future, and we will deal with more in the future, so please take care of my sisters more. ”

Gui Yuxia thought to herself, this little girl looks young and strangely can speak, but she looks so smart, she must be a beauty when she grows up. Gui Yuxia hurriedly said a few words of humility.

Chen Caijia said: "I brought Yujin here. It is for you to settle down with money. They are all bank bills issued by our bank, which are universal and can be withdrawn at any time. After you collect the silver ticket, Yujin will also give you the monthly money for this month, and also measure your body so that you can distribute clothes. I know that you are all good at needlework, but the clothes in this house are all made by Cuijin Lou, and the style is the same. You can also wear your own clothes in the future, but when it matters. When you need to wear it uniformly throughout the house, you must wear it. Also, Yujin will tell you the rules of your house in a while. You remember it well. It's all arranged, and when you finish eating, there will naturally be a car to take you home. ”

Gui Yuxia hurriedly agreed.

Chen Caijia smiled and said to Yujin: "Yujin, you start." ”

Yujin nodded, took out the silver tickets and began to distribute them one by one. Each of them was five hundred taels of silver, and a tael of silver a month. The little maids around me all wore clothes, with different sizes, and the eight embroidery girls all measured them and checked out their suitable sizes. I took it.

After all these were done, Yujin talked about some rules in the house again. For example, the rules of accommodation, the rules of visiting homes, and so on.

Wait until it's all said and done. Yujin said: "There is another thing I want to tell you, this is an extraordinary time, we are going to Nanyang, there is a shortage of manpower, so after you go home today, you can let your family consider going to Nanyang with us." Each of you can also teach apprentices, and when your apprentices have passed the evaluation of the government and can be regarded as having passed the technical test, every five apprentices brought out can be a small steward. The little steward is five taels of silver per month. If you take out ten pieces of land, you will become a steward, and every month there will be ten taels of money. ”

Ten taels of silver a month, what a temptation this is. Yuxia quickly calculated in her heart, there are six or seven sisters-in-law, younger sisters, and sisters in the family, find a few more, and teach her carefully for a few months, so that she will not be able to become a big steward. With such a monthly money of ten taels of silver a month, even if Brother Da Niu is disabled and can't work, he can easily support him. Thinking of this, Gui Yuxia's heart was on fire.

Not only Gui Yuxia, but the seven embroidery girls were also shocked by this beautiful future, and began to think about it in their hearts.

Yujin saw that he had finished speaking, so he took his leave.

The rest of the embroidery girls chattered non-stop, thinking for a while that they were going to see their families, excited, excited, and a little homesick. Thinking about settling down for a while, how can I become a steward, and after becoming a steward, I can have ten taels of silver a month, what a beautiful thing? Then can you buy some favorite jewelry, buy some beautiful satin, and you will be able to make the most beautiful clothes with your own hands? Also, I am already old, some are thirty, some are twenty-five or six, how can I compare with those beautiful little maids? Isn't it also worth spending some money to buy some high-quality fat powder and clean up your face. In the future, if you find a satisfactory Lang Jun, you will be blessed in this life.

Because of the heavy heart, everyone can't eat, after the hasty end, they are busy packing their things, so many years have not been home, why do you have to bring some things back, you can't be empty-handed. While they were in a hurry, several maids from the house came over with food boxes and said, "The girl said, you will go home in a while." Therefore, let the house make some dim sum, and everyone has two clips of dim sum, one clip of osmanthus cake, and one clip of mille-feuille cake. After a while, someone will bring you rouge gouache, which was originally going to be brought tomorrow, and it is distributed by the government every month, but now it will be sent to you in advance, so that you can dress up decently. There is also a silver hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets, and a pair of palace flowers for each person, so that they can dress up and go home. ”

After that, divide the pastries among everyone. The maid in the back began to divide the rouge gouache, and then the maid in the back began to send silver hairpins and silver bracelets, palace flowers.

Gui Yuxia saw that the pastries in her hands were all wrapped in paper clips, fresh and fragrant, and they looked better than the dim sum in the palace. Now it's okay, you don't have to go home empty-handed.

There is also the silver hairpin, everyone is the same, the anemone hairpin, the style is very good-looking, it is pure silver, the color is very good, and it looks no worse than the jewelry in the palace. The silver bracelet is a skein silver bracelet, and it is exquisitely made. Palace flowers are varied, some are delicate peonies, and some are peonies. It's all good-looking, try to put the hairpin on the sideburns, and it really adds to the showiness. Gui Yuxia couldn't help but think of the big cow brother in her heart, the big cow brother must like to dress up beautifully. Just thinking about it, I saw that those rouge gouaches were all good things, no worse than those in the palace.

The little maidens went out after dividing their things.

As soon as the little maids left, the embroidery girls began to be busy, looking at each other's jewelry, opening the makeup box and starting to put on the makeup, you said that my palace flowers are beautiful, I said that your hairpin is very good. After a busy day, everyone cleaned up clean and beautiful. All are happy on the eyebrows. I thought to myself, what a good master, so careful, so for their sake, where did they get this in the palace? In the palace, they are slaves and maids, and they are the lowest level of palace maids, by the way, there are even lower than them, and it is even harder there. Except that there is the hard work of the embroidery room, which is doing endless work all year round. No one cares, the emperor has never come, none of the previous emperors have come, not to mention that the emperor has not come, that is, the ladies, even the nobles with the lowest status have never come.

Now, they have become the slaves and maids of the county lord, thinking, it doesn't matter, it's just a change of master to serve, in the past, they used to serve the masters of the entire palace, but now they are just serving one master, they are all the same work, but they can be more relaxed if they are not in the palace, they don't have to worry about it, and they don't have to think about the endless palace rules and precepts.

However, now that they have just been out of the palace for a day, they have seen the prospect of a better life, and they first know that they can also get married and have children like ordinary women, how desirable this is, and even, their head, Mama Gui is now allowed to marry. Not to mention, after leaving the palace, you can still meet your family, of course, you are still a slave now, and there are not many times when you go home. I may not see him for a few years, but even if I don't go home much, it's much better than not seeing my family in the palace for the rest of my life.

Now, they are about to go back to visit their relatives who they haven't seen for many years, and the county lord actually carefully prepares food for them to send home as gifts. may also know that they are older, their youth is not there, some of them are timid, and they have prepared fat powder and jewelry for them, I am really grateful to the county lord, not to mention that things are very good, just this friendship makes these embroidery girls feel very moved, very warm, the sense of alienation just out of the palace is gone, replaced by a sense of belonging, they are really blessed people, met a good master.

Gui Yuxia looked at the newly decorated sisters, and said happily: "Sisters, people's hearts are flesh and blood, the county lord is so good to us, we must be loyal to the master, from today on, the county lord is our master, our benefactor, is our backer, if anyone hides selfishness in the county lord and has two hearts for the county lord, the first one must first think about how to pass my pass." ”

Cui Xi and they hurriedly said: "Sister, we are not people who don't know what to do, the master is so good to us, if we don't know loyalty, it is not as good as pigs and dogs, please rest assured, we are all taken care of by my sister in the palace, out of the palace, or only my sister is the first to look forward." ”

Gui Yuxia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's go home now, we must come back early in the evening, and don't let the people in the mansion say that those of us who come out of the palace have no rules." ”

Everyone agreed in unison. (To be continued)
