Chapter 184: Fame
In this way, Gui Yuxia led Da Niu and the third sister back to the county lord's mansion first. As for the girls and daughters-in-law who want to learn the craft from her, Gui Yuxia is going to go back to report and then ask the government to send a carriage to pick them up.
Before leaving, Gui Yuxia thought, it's good to go back this time, I didn't expect this thing to go so smoothly, on the one hand, Brother Da Niu's injury can still be cured, and her marriage with Brother Da Niu has also been said, and when Brother Da Niu's injury is healed, you can get married. On the other hand, I originally thought that it would be good to be able to accept five apprentices, so I could get five taels of silver per month. In this way, when you go to Nanyang, you can also feed yourself and your big cattle, save a little, and feed your own family. Looking at it now, there are more than ten girls and daughters-in-law who are willing to follow them to Nanyang, that is, they are in charge, and they can get ten taels of silver a month. What kind of concept is this? These ten taels of silver per month are the treatment of the nobles in the palace. Of course, the noble lady has other income, but this is also a high salary. You must know that a large family of farmers, the annual expenses are only a few taels of silver, and they can get ten taels of silver a month, so that their family has no worries, even if they can't open up the wasteland, they are not afraid, and they will not drink the northwest wind in Nanyang. Thinking of this, Gui Yuxia was very happy.
Hey, such a bright future, first of all, I have to thank the county lord who brought her a turning point in her fate and brought happiness, and she must work hard for the county lord in the future, and she must repay the county lord's kindness. Secondly, I would like to thank the village chief for his strong support, without the village chief's high morality and respect to vouch for her, who would be willing to send the girl and daughter-in-law to Nanyang so far away to work? Thinking of this, Gui Yuxia felt that she should go and thank the village chief before leaving. So, Gui Yuxia instructed her family to take care of the big cow and get into the car, and she hurried to the village chief's house. When they arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief and the village chief's wife hurriedly gave up their seats, and Gui Yuxia hurriedly said, "Village chief." The carriage in our house is still waiting, so I don't have much time for tea here. I'll cut it short. Thank you to the village chief for recruiting apprentices for me. After that, there are many things to trouble the village chief. Thanks, I'll say it next time I come back. I didn't have time to come over yesterday when I was in a panic, but today, I'm just here to say thank you. I heard my mother say that in two months, the three girls of the village chief's family will get married, which is a great joy. I guess I can't catch up, I have a skein silver bracelet given by the county lord here, but the production of the palace house, although it is not very heavy, but it is rare that this is a tribute to the emperor, leave it to the third girl to add makeup. ”
After speaking, he took out a gold handkerchief from his body, opened the handkerchief, and inside was a pair of delicate twisted silver bracelets. The village chief hurriedly said a few polite words, and the village chief's wife's eyes were already straight, and she took it with one hand and said, "Oops." Thank you, you are so polite to send such a delicate bracelet. To tell you the truth, the family that our three girls married is a wealthy family in the town, and often says that we are from the village or something, I have always been worried that the three girls will be bullied by their mother-in-law when they arrive at their mother-in-law's house, with your pair of silver bracelets from the palace, our three girls can be more confident. ”
Gui Yuxia smiled. The village chief said, "Don't worry, go back to the house on an errand." I know the reputation of the county lord, before, the imperial concubine Niangniang in the palace ran the Yangshan Hall, which was handed over to the county lord Niangniang's maiden niece. The county lord's mother is very capable. Keep a good church in order. Those township chiefs of the imperial court, the chiefs. The chief of the security department asked us, the village chiefs, to help report the widows and elderly people in the village to the imperial court, so that they could be handed over to Yangshantang to raise. I also reported Huang Xiaoyu, an orphan in our village. I heard that Huang Xiaoyu has a good life in Yangshantang, she is taken care of, fed, warmed, and even able to go to school, which is better than us ordinary villagers. Therefore, I know that the county lord's mother is kind-hearted and treats people well, and the girls and daughters-in-law in our village will not suffer if they follow the county lord's mother, which is a blessed thing. ”
Only then did Gui Yuxia understand why the village chief was so supportive of her. Once again, I felt the strength of the master in my heart. The village chief said: "You do a good job with the county lord, and say where you need the villagers." Hurry back and be on the same as anything else. ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said goodbye. When she got to the carriage, Gui Yuxia saw Da Niu and San Niu'er, as well as Da Niu, and the three girls had already settled down, so she hurriedly said goodbye to her family and left in the carriage. Gui Da, although Old Man Gui and Mrs. Gui felt uncomfortable when they saw their daughter leave again, but when they thought about it, although their daughter was not free now, it was not like before that they were in the palace and would never see each other in their lives. After that, I can come back, and when I go to Nanyang in the future, I will have more opportunities to meet. Suddenly, the parting feelings in my heart were gone. Thinking about going to Nanyang, there are still many things to arrange at home, and I am busy again.
Gui Yuxia sat in the carriage, because she had already dealt with this groom twice, and it was this groom who sent her back yesterday. Just talking to him, Gui Yuxia talked about what the village chief said about the county lord helping the imperial concubine Niangniang to run the Yangshan Hall, and asked a few words. The groom was very proud and said, "Miss Yuxia, you have just come to the mansion and don't know what our girl is capable of. Our girl, since she was six years old, has been helping our wife with the housework. When I was eight years old, I followed the young masters in the house to Shanghai City to build Shanghai City, it can be said that Shanghai City was built by our two young masters and girls with the help of the princess. By the way, you are in the palace, and you know that Princess Lichuan is our girl's cousin. Later, the girl went to help the eldest young master go to Yizhou Island to build Xinguang City. After returning to the capital, he also set up a Yangshan Hall and a hospital in the capital and near the capital with Mrs. Xu, the wife of our wife's daughter, Lord Liu, but saved a lot of people. Praise is to the good people. ”
Gui Yuxia was just about to speak, and Da Niu suddenly said: "The reputation of the county lord's mother is known to the people near our capital. The Yangshan Hall and the hospital run by the Imperial Concubine are all good for us poor. At the beginning, the village chief told me that if my injuries really could not be treated, and I would be disabled for the rest of my life, and I would have no family to take care of me, he would ask the chief to send me to Yangshantang, and I could support me for the rest of my life. ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly turned around and smiled at Da Niu, it seems that she is worried about Da Niu in the palace is redundant, of course, it is still useful for her to come back, no matter how good Yangshantang is, it is not as good as her personally serving.
Da Niu was also overjoyed when he saw Gui Yuxia's gentle expression, and looked at Gui Yuxia and smiled.
The third girl asked the groom: "This big brother, I'm very strange?" Why, my sister is called the master and the county lady, we used to call the county lord Niangniang, and the eldest brother is called a girl? ”
Ma Fu smiled and said: "In the past, our girl was named the county lord by the emperor, so you ordinary people are called the county lord's mother. Not long ago, when your sister was given to our mansion, the emperor promoted our girl's official son and made her the county lord's mother. So, your sister is called the county lord's mother. But it's not called that in our house, not only is it not called that in our house, but most of the official eunuchs in the capital still call our girl Chen Liu. Because our Chen family is a big family. Our Xiao Chen family is a branch of the big Chen family, and our master is the founding master of this branch. Our girl is the daughter of the family, and that identity can also be intersected equally with the princess, where does it care about the identity of a county lord who is sealed by the court. The nobles of the capital also respect the identity of the Chen family's daughters more. That's why we all call us girls. ”
San Niu'er and Da Niu were dumbfounded, how could there be a family that could be compared to the royal family? Gui Yuxia has lived in the palace for a long time, and she still knows this, and explained to the two of them: "What this eldest brother said is very right. What you people don't understand, the Chen family is very powerful, the clan land is in the northeast, there are soldiers and land, and the emperor has to give up three points. Now the Chen family has three mothers in the palace. One is the highest-ranking imperial concubine Niangniang in the palace, and there are two concubines Niangniang. These three maiden, the imperial concubine is the aunt of the county lord's mother, and the two maidens are the cousins of the county lord's mother. The hall sister of the county lord, the eldest girl of the Chen family, is the concubine of the King of Jin, and maybe, she will be the next queen in the future. So, can the Chen family see the identity of a county lord? is not as valuable as the status of a Chen family's daughter-in-law. ”
These made Da Niu and San Niu'er sigh, I didn't expect to be able to climb the relationship with such a high-ranking person, I really want to thank Gui Yuxia. On the way, a few people said something about the Chen family's great power. The groom was also very talkative, and boasted that Chen Yuanheng's contributions in the imperial court, such as two disaster reliefs, economic development in Jiangnan, etc., were greatly appreciated, Gui Yuxia and San Niu'er were amazed, and they were very happy that they had such a glorious and kind family, and their loyalty had unconsciously increased a lot. talked and laughed along the way, and soon returned to the house.
After entering the house, Gui Yuxia first talked to Chen Cai's family, and Chen Cai's family knew that Gui Yuxia was the best embroiderer in the palace, and understood that the lady and the girl valued her very much, so they were also happy to give her face and said: "It turns out that your big brother Niu is not seriously injured, and he can still be treated, this is really a great joy." As for the guest house and the like, don't say it, there are a lot of podiums around the back door of our house, which are ready to be lived in by the next people, and now I think there are not many people in the house, many of them are empty, well, let me think about it, by the way, there is a small independent courtyard near this courtyard, just let him live there, it is convenient for you to see him every day, as for your sister, since you are going to follow your apprentice, you have to sign a contract with the house, and our house has to sign for ten years at a time. Ten years later, he is still free, and he is a hire, not a slave. Moreover, the apprentice has an apprentice's residence and cannot live with the big cow. It's also more convenient for you to call a man from home to take care of you. (To be continued)
