Ms. Chen kept summoning her appointed officials, talking to them individually, encouraging them, and instilling in them her vision of the city. , the latest chapter of the visit wèn:.

At this time, Gui 'Yu' Xia was in the workshop, watching the apprentices make 'fine' embroidery. I have to say that the batch of apprentices she recruited are generally very high. Because when he was in Da Chu, he was a talented person, and his embroidery work was the top in his village or family. Now I have been learning from Gui 'Yu' Xia system for a period of time, and the previous accumulation has played a role, and the progress is rapid.

Among them are Gui Jinxia, the two younger sisters of Gui 'Yu' Xia, and Gui Yinxia has made the fastest progress. Now, Gui Jinxia is diligently practicing several complex needlework, and there is still a month to go, and she will sprint for the first-class embroidery exam. She had already planned it, and she also discussed it with her eldest sister Gui 'Yu' Xia, if she could pass the exam this time, she would become a first-class embroiderer. Not only can you get a monthly salary of one or two pieces of silver per month, but you can also accept apprentices and become stewards. In fact, she had already chosen the candidates for her apprentices, and often used the time when she went home to rest at night to teach the girls. Those are the 'girl' children of the people who live near them now. Although she is young, she is very smart, and when she heard that she worked in the embroidery workshop, she thought of asking her to guide the "female" to embroider "flowers" and "female" red. In general, these are secrets that no one wants to teach others. Therefore, these 'girl' children who come to learn art are also 'smart' at home, and they all bring gifts.

Gui Jinxia is not a first-class embroiderer now, and according to the regulations of the embroidery workshop, she can't accept apprentices, but she didn't say that she can't instruct 'girl' children to embroider. These people are here to play the side ball.

Gui Jinxia originally wanted to refuse, but when her mother-in-law saw that Qian was open-minded, and when she saw that these people were carrying things, including cloth, 'meat', food, snacks and other things, she accepted it with a smile, and she had to let Gui Jinxia guide others.

Although Gui Jinxia's family is now in charge of Gui Jinxia. But. After all, her mother-in-law is a mother-in-law, and she can't help but give her face, besides, Gui Jinxia has to work in the workshop every day. There is no time for housework. With children. Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law is very capable, not only cleaning up the house, but also cooking the food for Gui Jinxia's husband and a few Japanese slaves. I also took the children very well. Gui Jinxia was also 'excited' in her heart, so she couldn't lose her mother-in-law's face.

After a while, he said to his mother-in-law: "Mother, I will soon be able to be a first-class embroidery girl, and when the time comes, not only will I have more money per month, but I will also be able to accept apprentices in a bright and bright way." These people want me to give advice, don't they just want the 'girl' to learn some needlework so that they can enter our embroidery workshop in the future? Although there is a lot of work in our embroidery workshop now, the county lord said that it is better to be lacking than excessive, and not to accept everyone, and it must be technically good, so it is difficult to get in. These people just thought, I'll give you some pointers first, so that these 'girl' children have good skills, and they will be able to be admitted to the embroidery workshop in the future. However, I can't teach this skill lightly. This was taught to me by my eldest sister for the sake of my mother's compatriots. ”

As soon as she said this, the old woman remembered that the craft of the daughter-in-law was taught by the sister of the mother's family, but it was not learned at their family. Therefore, the old woman was a little bright, and said: "What you said makes sense, but I can't hold back two good words from others, and I agreed to ask for it, what do you think can be done?" ”

Gui Jinxia saw that her mother-in-law admitted her mistake, and she was also satisfied, and hurriedly went down the steps and said, "Although I don't want to teach them, for the sake of your old man's face, I'll teach it." After all, you're busy every day, it's too hard. ”

The old woman originally thought that there was no hope, but when she thought that her daughter-in-law agreed again, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "As long as you agree." It's nothing, isn't it all for this family? ”

As he spoke, he secretly resolved in his heart that he would work more diligently in the future.

Gui Jinxia said again: "Actually, if I become a first-class embroidery girl, I will be able to accept apprentices, and if I have collected enough five apprentices, I will be a little steward, and I will be able to get five taels of silver a month." However, if these five apprentices do not teach them, I will be punished. At that time, the face was gone, and the money was even more lost. So, I thought about it, since I want to guide, I also want to choose a good guide, so that it can also round your face, and I can also think about choosing apprentices for the future. You go back and talk to them, let them all come, and I will test them, and I can pick out five teachings from among them. If these five can study carefully, I will become a first-class embroidery girl in the future, and I will introduce them to the workshop, which is much cheaper than taking the exam themselves. ”

When Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law heard this, she also felt good, her daughter-in-law was smart, so she not only gave herself face, but also received things, and she could be a steward faster in the future, and she could get the monthly money of the steward one day earlier. You know, now the family is in ruins, and it is the time for money, not only have many things not been purchased, but in order to buy land, they also owe hundreds of taels of silver to the bank.

If Gui Jinxia can be a steward, with a monthly salary of five taels of silver a month, it will really subsidize the family a lot.

Thinking of this, Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law's heart became hot. The next day, she quickly finished all the work, took the children with her, went to those families, and told them one by one. These people were a little dissatisfied when they saw Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law receiving things, and there was no letter, but now they heard that they can choose apprentices, although their own 'daughter' may fall into the first place, but once they are selected, they will be able to follow into the workshop in a few months, which is better than they imagined before. But Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law was happy to death.

The next day, when Gui Jinxia came back from an errand, she saw a room full of people waiting for her. She was busy greeting them one by one, and then watched the embroidery work of these 'girl' children, and asked them to embroider some for her on the spot. This batch is a total of eight 'girl' children, Gui Jinxia picked out five from the middle, and she couldn't offend the three who were unsuccessful, and said to others that she could find an opportunity to introduce them to other embroiderers. The three of them suddenly became happy again.

In this way, Gui Jinxia worked in the workshop during the day. When I go home in the evening, I have to teach five 'girl' children how to do acupuncture. There was no time to do housework at all, and her mother-in-law did not complain at all, and took the initiative to take on all the work, without Gui Jinxia having to worry about it at all.

Gui Jinxia's life is now very comfortable.

Gui 'Yu' Xia was happy to see her sister doing so well.

Gui 'Yu' Xia returned home that day, and the big cow had just returned from the field, and the Japanese slaves had just returned from their work, busy eating. Gui 'Yu' Xia waited for the big cow to eat and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

Da Niu smiled and said: "I work very fast today, I see that a few of them are very tired these days, so I will come back early to rest." ”

Gui 'Yu' Xia nodded. After eating, the slaves went back to their front podium to rest. Gui 'Yu' Xia and Da Niu sat in the house drinking tea. Gui 'Yu' Xia said: "Try this tea, this was just given to me by the deputy city lord, and she is even more satisfied with the clothes I made for her this time." I'll make her clothes in the future. ”

Da Niu smiled and said: "The deputy city lord is really a good person, just because the clothes you made for her, she is very agreeable, so she keeps rewarding us, not to mention." The last time we said that we wanted a second loan, according to the bank's regulations, because you are in charge, and it is the second loan, you can give out a hundred taels more than the first time, and you can borrow six hundred taels, which is much less than our expected one thousand taels. This is a big problem for our family. You see, now, I'm just planting sweet potatoes on the land that was originally reclaimed there. I also bought Japanese slaves, and took these people to cut down trees on the newly bought 1,000 acres of land, and during this period of time, most of the trees have been cut down on this 1,000 acres of land, and I estimate that I will be able to cut them all down in a few days, and this time I sold more than 600 taels of silver for selling timber alone. When all of them are cut, I estimate that I can sell them for more than 700 taels of silver. ”

Gui 'Yu' Xia smiled and said, "Then we will be able to pay off our debts soon." Originally, on our 500 acres of land, we were going to plant 400 acres of fruit trees and 100 acres of sweet potatoes, so that it would be easier to take care of, but you had to plant all the sweet potatoes. It may be easier to plant sweet potatoes than to plant trees, but it can be troublesome to take care of. If you plant sweet potatoes on the 1,000 acres you have reclaimed, how can you do it with a dozen or so people? ”

Da Niu looked at Gui 'Yu' Xia's white and tender face had lost a lot of weight, and her hands were a lot rougher, because during this period of time, Gui 'Yu' Xia had to do housework, and she had to cook for these Japanese slaves, and she had to go to the workshop to work, which was too hard. I'm not going to be 'intensive' either. If we just want to plant our own 500 acres, I will choose to plant fruit trees. Then take good care of the 100 acres of crops. However, I think that soon someone will come to buy our 500 acres, and if we plant fruit trees, the selling price will be lower, and if we plant crops, the selling price will naturally be higher. That's why I grow all sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, even if she doesn't care about him, she can harvest them, it's just that the harvest is less. Now, I'm still thinking about it. The 1,000 acres of land I bought for the second time, if all the land is 'done', will I buy the land again and continue to open up the land? ”p――55565+dsuaahhh+26494234――>
