Chapter 189: Strange Words
Gui Yuxia then remembered, patronizing and talking, but the meal had not yet been eaten. Looking down, the jade brocade on the side, Xia He and the others have already eaten half of it, and Chen Wenhui has also eaten a lot, only himself, and he hasn't taken care of the chopsticks yet.
The meal on the table was hearty, with eight dishes, two soups, and a large bowl of white white rice that was crystal clear. There is also a large white porcelain soup basin with a large pot of noodles. In this way, if you want to eat dry rice, you can eat dry rice, and if you want to eat noodles, you can eat noodles, Chen Wenhui is eating noodles at the moment, and Xia He and the others are eating dry rice. Gui Yuxia is a northerner, so she naturally likes to eat more noodles, so she was busy making a bowl of noodles and began to eat noodles while picking vegetables.
While eating, Gui Yuxia was still thinking, not to mention anything else, the food in this Chen Mansion is really delicious, I used to just listen to the praise of the people in the imperial dining room, but after eating it in the past few days, I found that it was really delicious, at least it was much better than in the palace. Now I eat the food in Wen Hui's room, I feel that it is delicious, this one is more exquisite, of course, the materials used are also precious, it seems that I am still very happy. Just thinking about it, Wen Hui began to ask again: "In this way, you wait until everyone takes it over tomorrow, and you don't need to train in the mansion for seven days first, just train and work in Cuijin Building while training." In addition, a few of you have recruited so many embroidery girls, well, there are more than 100 of them, and I still have to give you some rewards. In this way, Xia He, you will reward each embroiderer with a pair of silver hairpins in a while. ”
Xia He hurriedly agreed.
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "We have only been in the mansion for a few days, and we have been rewarded continuously, and we haven't worked for the mansion yet?" Where can you dare to receive another reward? ”
Chen Wenhui said: "If you give it to you, you will accept it, and I will do things here." Meritorious service will be rewarded. If there is a mistake, it will be punished. You have recruited so many female workers. It's a contribution. Of course it is to be rewarded. Go back and tell your sisters that if they can teach their apprentices well while working, a month later, before we set out, if there are more than ten apprentices who have reached the level of ordinary embroiderers in my house, I will reward each master with a pair of red gold bracelets, and each apprentice with a pair of silver bracelets. ”
Gui Yuxia was overjoyed. Hurry up and kneel down.
Chen Wenhui waved his hand to stop and said, "I don't love these vain things here, hurry up and eat." By the way, you haven't said when you'll get married? ”
Gui Yuxia's face turned red and said: "I discussed with Brother Da Niu, after half a month, Brother Da Niu can stand up, and we will simply handle the marriage." We're all so old, we don't have to make a big deal, I'm still a slave in the house, just kowtow to the master and invite the sisters to dinner. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Old. You're also married for the first time, huh? How can you not do it? As for the slaves and maids, the big maids in our house are all beautiful when they get married. Where is it as you say. Aren't slaves and maids human? The servants in our house treat them like our own family. That's it, don't worry about it, you have a lot of things, I will hand it over to Chen Cai's family to do it, she is old, she will definitely be able to get it properly, lively and not cumbersome. ”
Gui Yuxia couldn't eat anymore.
Chen Wenhui also felt funny when she looked like this, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I still have questions for you." Which of your sisters besides you have three who followed me to Nanyang, are there any family members who are willing to follow them to Nanyang to build a family business? ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "Each of these three families is willing to follow. Of the three, there is only one in the capital, and those two are from the same township near the capital as me, and they are very poor, so of course they are willing to go together. Not only are the family willing to go, but even the relatives must go with them. There are also more than a dozen families together. I wonder if the number of people is too much? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "I have long said that the more people, the better, and I am not afraid of spending money." In this way, you have done another contribution. Well, what should I enjoy? ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "The county lord has already rewarded a lot, so there is no need to reward it." ”
Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "My rice is going to be sprayed." So let's not give jewelry, but give each man a piece of cotton cloth and keep it for the family to make clothes. ”
Gui Yuxia was busy and thanked again, and suddenly remembered, just now the county lord said that he didn't like these red tapes, so he stopped again.
Chen Wenhui said: "Generally, our people are inseparable from their homeland, why are your relatives willing to follow you to Nanyang?" Can you still recruit so many apprentices? ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Speaking of which, I was also a little surprised that I was able to recruit so many people, and besides, our relatives were willing to follow me to Nanyang. Later, I asked the village chief. The village chief said that because the county lord had a good reputation. The county lord helped the imperial concubine Niangniang to run a hospital and a good church, and the people in the capital have benefited a lot, and they are all praising the imperial concubine Niangniang and the county lord. Now that I heard that I was going to Nanyang with the county lord, of course I didn't doubt it, and I was willing to help the county lord build Nanyang well to repay the county lord's kindness. Also, the county lord is a man who does what he says, and Yangshantang is so good and has a very good reputation among the people, so as soon as I said it, the county lord said that there would be development in Nanyang, and they immediately believed it, so they were willing to move their families or send their daughters-in-law to Nanyang with them. ”
Chen Wenhui was a little surprised, and couldn't help but stop her chopsticks and said, "There is still such a reason." It seems that this person must do more good deeds, I say, the migration of the people in all dynasties is a big thing, it is difficult to do, and it is difficult to leave the homeland, this is the tradition of our Chinese nation. How come I didn't have any major difficulties in doing so? By the way, when the people who migrated to Jiangnan went to Yizhou Island before, it was because of disaster relief and had credibility among the people, plus at that time, my father was a thorn, and there was a lot of good governance in the Jiangnan area. Now that I have come to the capital, I can say that my father can not influence much. We don't have any kindness to the people of Gyeonggi, so it may be more difficult to do, so my second brother specially went to Jiangnan to recruit craftsmen. I didn't expect that I also set up a Yangshan Hall and a hospital in the capital, so I can be regarded as having some prestige and some reputation, well, is it possible to recruit more in the capital? ”
These people naturally dare not speak, they can do things, but they can't make decisions. At this moment, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered that she had a few Qiu Bi, they were well-informed, and they would definitely be able to put forward pertinent opinions for themselves, it seems that the four of Yujin still need to be cultivated.
At this time, Gui Yuxia said timidly: "County Lord, I think it's better not to recruit people in the capital, like this, the relatives we bring with us, others have nothing to say, but if the government recruits them wantonly, I'm afraid those high-ranking officials in the capital will be unhappy." All the people have fled, and who are they going to do? The emperor in the palace may not be happy either. ”
Gui Yuxia's words made Chen Wenhui ponder for a while and said: "Yuxia, what you said is very right, you are thoughtful, you are worthy of coming out of the palace, and this political zhì sensitivity is strong." I didn't think about it. Okay, let's just do it quietly, it's more reliable, and you can't ask too much for it all at once. ”
Gui Yuxia wanted to say something and held back.
Chen Wenhui said: "What do you want to ask? ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Well, that, I want to ask, what is political sensitivity." ”
Chen Wenhui laughed. Xia He and Gui Yuxia had just chatted for a long time, and they were already familiar with each other, so they hurriedly said: "Our girl often has these strange words, and I don't know where they come from, you don't have to worry about them, they should be good words." After that, it's good to get used to it. Our wife used to ask, but now she doesn't ask. ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly lowered her head and snickered.
Chen Wenhui was a little embarrassed and said: "Xia He, you little girl dare to laugh at me, really, don't eat yet." There's still a lot to do after eating. By the way, in a while, I will go with my second brother to select prisoners of war and prisoners, and you should quickly bring some red envelopes, silver taels and the like. Although the emperor rewarded me with people, the officials still have to take care of it, isn't it strange that there are many people. ”
Yujin hurriedly agreed.
Everyone hurried up to eat. After eating for a while, Yujin hurriedly left the table and busied, Xia He came over and prepared mouthwash for Wen Hui, Xia Yu brought a basin for washing her hands, and waited for Wen Hui to wash her hands. Jade Belt and Gui Yuxia helped the little maids remove the table.
Chen Wenhui said to Yuxia: "You go back and arrange it first, I have them here." ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "The sisters all said that we have received so many rewards from the county lord, and we haven't even done a single embroidery job for the county lord, and we also know that the county lord's work is done by the best embroidery girls in the house." If you don't hate us for being clumsy, give us some. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "You are the best embroidery girl in Da Chu, where are you clumsy, it's just that I can't wear out a lot of clothes, where do you need to make new ones, you can't teach your apprentices." ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Teaching the apprentices will not delay us in doing embroidery work, let's ask the county lord to assign us some work, or we will not feel comfortable just idle." ”
Chen Wenhui said to Xia He: "Okay, in this case, you can see what kind of work is assigned to them, but not too much, it is better to teach the apprentices." ”
Xia He said: "Although the girl has begun to wear autumn clothes now, it is still very hot in Nanyang, so there is no need to make winter clothes, let's make a few summer clothes." Also, Yuxia's sisters are more skilled, so let's ask them to help make a dress, and keep it for the future to come to Nanyang to start building the city, didn't the girl say that she was going to hold a groundbreaking ceremony? Let's just wear a dress. As for the style, please design it with Sister Yuxia. We're not good at this, Sister Yuxia should make more dresses in the palace. Also, this girl is already the county lord, and the county lord's grade clothes are not yet there, in this regard, Yuxia's sisters should be familiar with it, so it's okay to hand it over to Yuxia's sisters? ”
Wen Hui said: "Okay, you are well assigned. You will receive the fabric for Sister Yuxia in a while, by the way, let's take Sister Yuxia to the warehouse to choose fabrics. Take it with the jewelry in a moment. ”
After speaking, Wen Hui went into the inner room to rest and waited for the second brother to pick him up. (To be continued......)
