Chapter 62 Work
People are like this, when they are busy, they think that it would be good if they were idle, but when they are idle, they feel that life is boring. Wu Dashan is like this. Less than two years after returning to Deqing City, he was idle and panicked. It just so happened that at this time, Ancheng's former senior brother came to him, saying that Ancheng County ordered him to find a fist and foot master for the two sons, beam? But it's not thin. He made clothes all year round, had a day off every month, took care of food and shelter, and had two hundred taels of silver every year.
Ancheng is very close to Deqing City, so there is something to do, there is money to take, and you can take care of your family nearby. Thinking of this, Wu Dashan packed his things and came to Chen's mansion. It's still good here, the food is very good, the cooking skills of the chef are so good, he has never eaten such a delicious thing, and the living conditions are OK. There is also a mother-in-law who helps him wash his clothes. What made him happiest the most were the two young masters of the Chen Mansion, who were smart, handsome, polite, and both of them were good seedlings with good qualifications. So he taught very happily, and the master and apprentice got along very well.
The only bad thing in life is his sister. His sister Wu Lixia was taken away by the Tianshan faction at a very young age, and she went down the mountain after completing her studies, and she also broke through the rivers and lakes for a while, and was called the Green Sword Fairy by the people in the rivers and lakes. Later, he was busy in the capital and didn't care, so his mother married his sister to a medium-sized family in the city. However, my sister's mother-in-law and father-in-law have a very bad character, dislike my sister who doesn't know housework, can't be a female celebrity, either beats or scolds every day, and marries a concubine, and later the concubine gave birth to a son and made it difficult for her in every way. Every time he wanted to give his sister a head, he was stopped by his mother, and he couldn't let his sister not have a child, which was the biggest shortcoming. Later, my brother-in-law died, and my sister was widowed at a young age and was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law.
Back at home, my sister didn't have a happy day. Although his mother treats her very well, his wife often says some ugly things, and he has taught his wife a few times for this, but he is less at home, how many times can he stop it? Every time I go home and see my sister's wooden face, I feel sad.
Later, Steward Chen came to him and said that he wanted to find a female master to teach martial arts for the girl in the house. Now he thought of his sister. He had heard a lot about Miss Chen's two apprentices, and knew that she was a six-year-old girl. When my sister comes, I will definitely live in the back house with her, and it is also a good thing to be with the little girl, at least I can be self-reliant, and I can pass the time. Wu Dashan hurriedly recommended his sister to Chen Cai.
But almost a month has passed, and the Chen family has not believed it, probably because they didn't fancy their sister. It doesn't work out either. First Chen Yuanheng came to him deliberately and asked him if he could do a good job in the position of the head of Anchengdu, and if he could, he would recommend himself to go. It's pie in the sky. Wu Dashan hurriedly kowtowed to Chen Yuanheng and thanked him for his appreciation.
Chen Yuanheng saw that Wu Dashan agreed, and he was also very happy, but he was his own person. Just as he was about to leave, Wu Dashan asked him again about his sister being a master for the girl. Chen Yuanheng couldn't help but let out an "oops". He was so busy with this paragraph that he forgot about it completely. In fact, the manpower of Deqing City has already passed the news, and the affairs of the Wu family, Wu Dashan, Wu Dashan's wife Yan's family, Yan's mother's family, and Wu Lixia's mother-in-law's family have all been investigated very clearly, there is no problem, and it is a reliable one. That's why he was relieved to let Wu Dashan be the head of the capital. It's just that Wu Lixia forgot about it.
Chen Yuanheng said to Wu Dashan again, he wanted to invite Wu Dashan to go home and tell his sister, invite her to come to the house to teach her daughter, it is also two hundred taels of silver a year, clothes for the four seasons, including food and accommodation, and live in the inner courtyard.
Wu Dashan couldn't close his mouth happily now, this is really a double happiness, he has a future, and his sister has a place. Busy and thank Chen Yuanheng. Chen Yuanheng helped him up with a smile.
Wu Dashan went home and talked about these two things with his mother and wife, but the family was very happy. Wu Dashan's mother was already worried about her daughter's affairs, and she clashed with the Yan family several times for this. Now I am happy to hear that my daughter has something to do and can take care of herself. Besides, his son is about to become an official, and he will be an old feudal monarch in the future, thinking of this, he can't help but give his daughter-in-law a sharp look.
Yan heard that her husband was going to be an official, and she thought that she would be an official lady in the future, so she thought about whether to buy a few maids and servants and put the official's wife on the table first. I was even happier to hear that my sister-in-law, who felt that it was a big obstacle, could leave her house. You must know that there are only five houses in your house, excluding the hall, there are only four bedrooms, the mother-in-law has to occupy one, and they have one husband and wife, and now they have two daughters and a son, and they are pregnant with another one in the belly, and the son sleeps in a room alone, and the two daughters have no choice, so they have to follow the grandmother and the small one to follow themselves, because there is still a house for the sister-in-law to occupy. For this, she is often angry with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law.
Now as soon as I heard that my sister-in-law was leaving, I began to think in my heart about vacating the house and letting my two daughters live in it. At this time, when I saw my mother-in-law coming over, I immediately thought of it, just now my father-in-law seemed to say that my sister-in-law will have two hundred taels of silver every year in the future, and the main family will also give her food and shelter, and take care of clothes. You have to know that your father-in-law still has to buy wine and make friends for these two hundred taels, and she still has a bunch of children to raise at home, and the family's land rent is dominated by her mother-in-law, how can two hundred taels be enough to spend, she has long wanted to buy the brocade clothes of the Cui Jinlou, but she has no money to buy it, and she has not bought a maid and a woman with children, and she is tired and tired every day.
This sister-in-law is a woman's family, and she has no family tiredness and no children, where can she spend it, she has no children, and the closest ones are her own children, and the rest of the money in the future is not her own children's. Thinking of this, she regretted it a little, she knew that she shouldn't be so harsh on her sister-in-law, and she didn't know if her sister-in-law would hold grudges. However, fortunately, his eldest daughter and sister-in-law have always had a good relationship, so he let his eldest daughter go to play with his sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, Yan asked his father-in-law with a smile: "Has the sister-in-law lived at home for a short time?" ”
Wu Dashan's mother said: "This time you are happy, Lixia can live well without you, you can eat and drink spicy food every day, you don't need to look at your face anymore." It's really an endless road. ”
Yan Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother, look at what you said, my sister-in-law and I are fine, but there is something wrong, and this is also because we are together every day, and the upper and lower teeth fight." I'll call the big girl and call her sister-in-law, and you talk to her slowly. ”
After saying that, he walked out. After a while, Wu Lixia entered the house, and Wu Dashan and Dashan's mother told her about it. Wu Lixia immediately burst into tears of joy, and said while crying: "This master can do it for the eldest brother, it can be seen that it is a good one, as long as you are willing to take me in, let alone teach children, let me be a maid, and I am willing to make a mother-in-law." ”
When Dashan's mother heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of her daughter's bumpy life. Wu Dashan was a little embarrassed and said: "Look at what you said, people are learning art from the Eight Classics, where is the rough mother-in-law, people give clothes for the four seasons a year, take care of food and housing, you go to live in the county government's West Cross Courtyard, where it is very good, and there is a garden." The clothes are like the one on me, you see, it's not ordinary coarse cloth clothes, but the brocade clothes of Cuijinlou, this stitch is fine, and it is better than your sister-in-law's craftsmanship. Don't you women like the clothes of Cui Jin Lou? This main house is the owner of Cuijin Building. Also, the best thing is the meals. It's delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious when I've traveled north and south. ”
One sentence made Wu Lixia laugh again: "Big brother, you just think about eating." ”
At this time, Yan took his eldest daughter into the house: "After that, my sister-in-law will not wear the brocade clothes of Cuijinlou, and this doesn't cost money, by the way, sister-in-law, your eldest brother said that you will have two hundred taels of silver a year in the future." The rule of the lord's house is to give one hundred taels when he goes, and then give one hundred taels after one year. Your eldest brother has been less than a year old, but last year he got back a hundred taels of silver, all of which were pure silver. During the Chinese New Year, the lord's family also gave a reward, which was a purse of twelve taels. Not to mention the silver, the purse alone is made of satin, and the needlework on it is good. ”
Wu Lixia's face was faint, and she didn't answer her sister-in-law's words.
At this time, the eldest girl said, "Auntie, you will also go to the house where your father went in the future, won't you also have that kind of delicious cake to eat?" The mille-feuille cake and plum blossom cake that my father brought back last time for the Chinese New Year are very delicious, can you bring them to me in the future? ”
Wu Lixia was very good to her niece, and said with a doting smile when she heard the words: "As long as the master gives it, I will definitely bring it back to you." ”
The big girl clapped her hands happily, and as soon as Yan heard that the sister-in-law was still ready to come back, she put down half of her heart, and went to the kitchen to prepare happily, saying that she was happy to come today and wanted to make something delicious.
When Yan left, Dashan's mother said to her daughter: "Lixia, your hard days are over, and the time will come to run in the future, follow the master's family to work hard, treat other people's children well, you are a pitiful, and you don't have a son and a half daughter, you teach this girl well, be patient with her, take care of her carefully, and she will be able to give you a pension in the future." The children of such large families will give their mothers to the end of their lives. In this way, your life will be settled, and your mother will be happy for you. This is your blessing, you have to cherish it. ”
Wu Lixia nodded hurriedly. Oyama also nodded.
