Gui Er continued: "By the way, the eldest sister said that because she did a good job, she pulled so many 'women' in the village to work in the county lord's mansion, and there were so many people who were willing to go to Nanyang, so the county lord gave her a reward, and when the eldest sister got married in the future, she would live in the small cross-courtyard where we live now, and every dowry was the county lord's." In the past few days, although the eldest sister has not come back in the workshop, someone from the wedding shop has already come to our yard and measured the size of the house. He also said that we don't need to prepare anything, a qiē thing, furniture, fat powder, clothes, are all prepared in the joy shop. ”

Gui Pozi was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked what a happy shop was. Gui Er explained. Mrs. Gui was even happier and said: "This shop is good, but it is not easy to bring a pair of silver bracelets when you get married, not to mention, there are furniture, fat powder, clothes and the like." By the way, when I was young, I once saw the daughters-in-law 'women' of big families in the town, that is called lively, there are seven or eight dowries alone, there are everything, 'beds', tables, even basins, pots and pans, hey, the daughter' has entered her mother-in-law's house, and she doesn't have to use her mother-in-law's things for the rest of her life, can this be angry? I didn't expect our big girl to have such a day. ”

Gui Er said: "Mother, the eldest sister is now in the county lord's house, the county lord gave the name, you don't want to call the big girl anymore, you want to call it 'jade' Xia." ”

When Mrs. Gui heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, or the name 'jade' Xia is good." Hey, your father and I are illiterate, and we didn't have a good name for you, if only you had a name, it's better than Gui Da and Gui Er. ”

Gui Er said: "When we enter the mansion, we can learn from the master, and we will naturally have a name." ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Gui said, "Do you really want to learn a craft?" Even if the cow is good, the doctor said it at the beginning. If he can't do heavy work, how can he finish 500 acres or even 1,000 acres of land alone? ”

Gui Er said: "Don't worry about this father. The county lord went to Nanyang this time, and many slaves followed. When we arrive in Nanyang, we will sell it to those who bought land, and we have silver, but are we afraid that we will not be able to hire people to do the work? When the time comes, Brother Niu only needs to be like the housekeeper of a big family in the city, and just watch people work, and he won't be tired. One person is not in charge of a thousand acres of land. Even 10,000 acres can be managed. That's right. Forget that Jì told her father and mother, and the eldest sister said that the county lord would give her a dowry. also gave her a hundred taels of money at the bottom of the box, plus the settling-in fee given by the county lord before, it was six hundred taels, which was enough for Brother Niu to buy land and buy people to work. ”

Mrs. Gui paused for a moment and said, "Why is the county lord so rich?" 'Jade' Xia has now voted for a good master, and you must also remember the kindness of the county lord, since you are going to learn art. You have to study hard and help the county lord in the future. ”

Gui Er saw that his parents had agreed, and he was very happy, Gui Da was thinking about the future, Gui Er said: "Big brother, how are things arranged at home?" If only it was arranged. Come with me to the city. We have to go to the teacher together, and ordinary people don't accept it. When the time comes, we will ask the eldest sister to help us intercede, and those craftsmen also have 'female' people in their families, and they also want to go to the eldest sister to learn embroidery, and they will definitely be willing to accept us as apprentices. ”

Gui Da heard that it was really good, this craftsmanship is good. Gui Da said: "Our family has nothing to clean up, and there is no land, our tenant land has already been planted with crops, and it is about to be harvested, so we don't want it at all, and 'hand' it over to Brother Da Niu's sister and brother-in-law, our family owes Brother Da Niu so much, so it can be regarded as a little repayment." There is also this yard, I don't want to sell it, after all, we built it newly, besides, who can sell the house in the countryside to. I will 'hand' it over to Brother Da Niu's sister and ask her to take care of it for us. It's okay to stay here. Brother Niu's sister's family moved back, and I heard that Brother Niu gave his sister two acres of land handed down by his ancestors. In this way, the big cow brother and sister will move back as a family, have a place to live, and have a field to plant, isn't it great? ”

Gui Er was happy to hear 'Ting' and said: "The eldest brother arranged it like this, so let's just move away, take our nephews and nieces and nieces, and the eldest sister's yard can accommodate a lot of people." Both of us brothers work, my father and mother can take care of the children, and my sisters also work, maybe more than we can earn from farming at home. Also, the eldest sister's marriage is still a few days away, and when the time comes, our father and mother won't get it? It's better to go early, and you can still take care of Brother Da Niu. ”

Gui Da and Old Man Gui were still thinking, there was already a knock on the 'door' in front, the family had no choice but not to discuss, and when they opened the 'door', it turned out that the village chief had come with the villagers. Gui Er was busy giving each family's money to each family, and also explained the reason. When these villagers came, they were all suspicious, how many days had they only been in the city, why did they start to pay their wages? However, although they didn't believe it, the village chief called and still came, but they didn't expect that they really received the money when they came, and they were very happy.

At this moment, everyone's chatterbox was opened, and they all asked about the situation in Gui Er City and the county lord's mansion. The situation of these 'women' doing their work. Gui Er has lived in the city for so many days, because Da Niu's injury is getting better day by day, cooking, and pulp washing, so Gui Er is actually very idle, and when he is idle, Gui Er is a young man, naturally he began to wander around, and naturally he has more knowledge, at this time the villagers asked, he also opened the conversation box and talked about it.

As soon as it got dark, everyone was going back to eat, and then they left unsatisfied. When they left, Gui Er found that the village chief had not left, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Village, do you want to stay and eat?" ”

The village chief was a little embarrassed and said, "Your aunt has cooked in the house, so I just asked one thing." ”

Gui Er hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's the matter, can you ask?" ”

The village chief said: "I just want to ask, you also know my daughter', she is fourteen years old, and she can also do needlework, and your aunt and I want to send her to apprentice with your sister, okay?" ”

Gui Er said: "I can't be the master of this, I will return to the city in two days, when the time comes, I will ask the steward of the house, and my eldest sister, my eldest sister is also the steward of the house now." It's just that my eldest sister in your family, can she go to Nanyang? The manpower remaining in the capital is almost enough, but there is still a shortage of manpower to go to Nanyang. ”

The village chief hurriedly said, "I am willing to go to Nanyang." Please tell your sister when you go back to the city. ”

After saying that, I hurriedly said goodbye and went back.

After the village chief went back, the family discussed it again, and after dinner, it was decided that it would be better to spend two days, pack all the things at home, and 'hand' them over to Da Niu's sister's house, and then take the children to the city together and live in the small courtyard of 'Yu' Xia.

After discussing it, Gui Er asked, "Dad, mother, I don't know what happened to the third sister and her in-laws?" And is the sister-in-law's family ready? And the second brother-in-law's house? Well, and my father-in-law's house? ”

Speaking of the latter sentence, Gui Er's face turned red. Old man Gui said: "Our family is a family of Zhuang households, where to prepare something, that is, your second sister still has a few acres of land at home, Qian'er, your brother-in-law also came over, saying that it was all dealt with, and his father and mother also went with him to take care of the children for their husband and wife, so that the second girl could free up time to work in the embroidery workshop." Over the course of a year, even the lowest wage is better than farming. ”

Gui Er nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Old man Gui said: "You still go to your father-in-law's house tomorrow, and send the wages earned by his daughter's 'daughter' to others, after all, people are not from our family." Also, go to your second brother-in-law's house and let her in-laws see that she can make money so much, let's go along, take care of the children, and let your second sister work hard. ”

Gui Er nodded.

Old man Gui said again: "It's just that there is no effort to handle the marriage between you and San Niu'er." If only we could do it together. It's also a little more convenient. ”

Gui Er didn't speak, and blushed vigorously. Gui Da said: "Actually, I think it's better for the two of them to get married after we arrive in Nanyang." If we find a job, we can get a monthly money when we go to the house, which has a month's time, and it will take a few months to be on the ship, and we can also have a monthly money, and when we go to Nanyang, it will take a few months to settle down, so that we can save a lot of money, and when the time comes, we can get together and do a better marriage for Gui Er, and give Gui Er's daughter-in-law a better dowry, isn't it good? Sanniu'er's dowry can also save three or two taels of silver, isn't it good? ”

When the old man Gui heard this, he also said: "Yes, we didn't have money in the past, if you can all earn wages, you must work hard, strive to make more money, and save money to save money, so that you can also have money for marriage, and our three girls can also have a dowry when they get married, not like the second girl, just bring a little ruler to the past." ”

Gui Er was even happier when he heard it, in fact, the relationship between him and his future daughter-in-law has always been very good, and he is very satisfied with the other party, rural people, there is no kind of marriage in the city that has never seen it before getting married, such a rule, because they are all people on the nearby Zhuangzi, they are all looking up and looking down, the two of them have long been very friendly, Gui Er also figured out that Guò made money with his own hands, and gave his daughter-in-law more dowry.

After the family discussed, they hurried to rest, and the next day, Gui Er went to his brother-in-law's house, returned from his brother-in-law's house, and went to his future father-in-law's house.

Gui Er went out, but Gui Lao Man and Gui Er were busy, because these people in the village were reluctant to send their 'daughters' and daughters-in-law to go out to learn embroidery. Now, these families have got the money, although it is not much, only five hundred big money, but in the eyes of the Zhuang family, it is also a lot of income, and they are envious.

Gui Da told them all about it, as long as he was willing to go to Nanyang, he wrote down his name, and when his brother went to the city again, he told his sister to see if he wanted it in the house. q――55565+dsuaahhh+24582703――>
