Chapter 399: Inspection
"I've seen Childe's ......"
As soon as Jia Baoyu and the others entered the hall, they saw the girls standing in two rows saluting him.
Although their salute is very non-standard, some bend over, some hang their legs, but for most of these girls who have just experienced a full meal, it is not easy.
It seems that the "etiquette lessons" in the women's house have also begun to bear fruit.
Nodding gently with them, Jia Baoyu looked behind them, where dozens of textile wheels were lined up horizontally and vertically, some of which were still hanging with coils and half-finished cloth.
Jia Baoyu walked over slowly, looked at it, touched it, and had an approximate idea of the quality of these cloths in his heart.
Although it is not settled, it is considered to be in the upper middle.
The difference is in technology, but the good thing is that it is meticulous. In time, when these girls have become proficient, they will be able to weave a large number of cloths of considerable quantity and quality.
It seems that his plan to make Yangshengtang make money and be self-sufficient is very feasible.
Looking back, seeing that nearly a hundred pairs of eyes were staring at her a little nervously, Jia Baoyu praised her with a smile, and then asked the girls, "The aunt in charge just now said that you were all punished for working in the middle of the night because you were lazy?" ”
The girls didn't dare to speak, and the mother-in-law who was obviously in charge here hurriedly said, "Second master, they are indeed lazy, not because the minions and others deliberately embarrass them, they either don't study seriously in the class of embroidery girls, or they are lazy when practicing, and some are even more daring, dozing off in the class of Mr. Gu and others......"
"Let them say for themselves."
Jia Baoyu frowned.
Although he has no intention of questioning Du Qiuniang's management, since he is here, it is also the responsibility of him, the person in charge, to check it!
Du Qiuniang didn't seem to be worried at all, she smiled and said to those girls, "It's rare for Gongzi to come over once, he cares about you, you can talk to him if you have anything to say." ”
Her gentle words immediately gave the girls some confidence.
Some of them may not know Jia Baoyu, but they must know Du Qiuniang, and they know that all the aunts who are either kind or fierce and evil listen to this beautiful sister.
Even so, they didn't dare to take the initiative to speak to Jia Baoyu, who was indescribably expensive at first glance.
Moreover, they were also worried that if they offended the aunts by what they said, they would definitely not benefit......
Jia Baoyu also seemed to see this, and happened to see that there was actually one he knew in the crowd, so he said, "Zhi'er, you can talk about it." ”
Zhizhi'er was originally a little nun of Shuiyue'an, and since Shuiyue'an was dismissed by him, Zhizhi'er and several other small ones were sent to the health hall by him.
"Second Master ......"
I haven't seen her for a long time, Zhizhi'er feels a lot shy, and she is very embarrassed when she is named by Jia Baoyu.
Actually, she was ashamed.
Last time, she was found out by Jia Baoyu by doing something ugly, and this time she made a mistake again, she thought, in Jia Baoyu's eyes, she must be the worst, the worst kind of person who can't support the wall.
"Second master, I really can't learn needlework, I've only been here for half a month, and my hands have been pricked several times."
The intelligent child explained for himself.
When she said this, many people immediately agreed, many of them said that they would not, and the aunts in charge were urging them to hurry, and they did not understand the teacher's lecture before going to sleep......
Nowadays, the facilities in the women's dormitory are much worse than those in the men's dormitory, mainly to learn weaving and embroidery. Other "cultural classes" are only occasionally taken a little, and martial arts classes are naturally not available.
However, it is only a matter of priority, and there will be something that should be there and will be there slowly.
However, there are scumbags everywhere, Jia Baoyu understands it, and he will not blame anything for it.
One by one, the hands of the little girls who said they had been pricked by needles were examined, and one of them was probably very stupid, with the most serious injuries, and new injuries.
In order to let Jia Baoyu see her wounds, she deliberately squeezed her hand, and immediately bleeding from her fingers that were about to be pricked, making her scream in pain.
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel funny, and in the end, she immediately asked someone to take her down and bandage her.
"Second master, in fact, we are usually very good to them, whoever is injured and sick asks the doctor to take medicine, and that was just a moment of negligence."
The housekeeper hurriedly explained.
Jia Baoyu waved his hand to stop it, there were only nearly 100 mothers-in-law who were transferred from the two mansions of the Jia family and Zhuangzi, and there were more than 1,000 girls, so it was difficult to manage.
Moreover, it is difficult for these people who are "born rich and noble" to take these "cheap" people too seriously, as long as they do not practice, they are all qualified.
If you really want them to serve these girls like a young lady, Jia Baoyu can't find so many people to serve.
However, he still said to Du Qiuniang and the servants, "People are born with their own strengths, if it is not their own laziness or disobedience to discipline, but their natural deficiencies, such as mental defects, or inflexibility of hands and feet, you should not be too harsh, just try your best to train."
After the school and martial arts hall on the men's club are set up, a textile bureau will also be set up to teach those who are not literate and martial arts to make a living in the future.
In the same way, in the future, there will also be a school or even a martial arts hall here.
In the future, if these girls can't learn embroidery and weaving skills, they can choose to learn other ......."
Before Jia Baoyu's words were finished, the mothers-in-law said, "Second master, it's nothing for men to learn embroidery and weaving, after all, there are many male embroiderers outside, and they do a lot of work better than women."
It's just that this makes women learn martial arts, isn't it, isn'......t it?"
Isn't it a rebellion? And, what's the use?
However, they didn't dare to question Jia Baoyu like this.
Jia Baoyu naturally understood their thoughts, and he smiled lightly, "Although Daxuan has no precedent for women to join the army, it has not been without this situation since ancient times.
Putting these aside, which of the royal relatives and nobles in Beijing, and even the nobles in the palace, does not need to be guarded?
If women can know some kung fu, I think these people are also very willing to hire them.
Of course, there are many constraints on women's martial arts training after all, and I won't ask too much, just give them one more choice.
One more choice, and they will have more ability to make a living in the future. Most of them have no parents to rely on, if they don't have the ability, how can they make a living in the future?
In the future, whether it is to work as an accountant for a large family, or to become a female accountant in a restaurant or shop, or even to be a hawker yourself, it can be regarded as a way of life. ”
After listening to Jia Baoyu's words, the girls all looked at Jia Baoyu with innocent eyes.
They may not understand the specific meaning of Jia Baoyu's words, but it does not prevent them from hearing that Jia Baoyu is talking and thinking about it for them.
It turned out that what the sisters said earlier was right, they were not helpless people, they all had a big brother in common, and their aunt called them sons.
That man gave them shelter, clothing, and food, and moreover, he could protect them......
The mother-in-law didn't have so many thoughts, most of them looked at each other, and there were many people who didn't believe Jia Baoyu's words.
However, because of Jia Baoyu's face, they still echoed it
"The second master has good intentions and thinks about them wholeheartedly, and I don't know which life they have cultivated the blessings."
Jia Baoyu didn't bother with these mothers-in-law who were rigid in their thinking and had no plasticity, and finally gave an order
"In any case, all the girls must go back to the dormitory before the second shift. Even if there is unfinished work or schoolwork, we will talk about it the next day. ”
In this era, most people get up early. If you don't rest before the second watch, it will be difficult to have enough time to sleep.
Regarding Jia Baoyu's request, Du Qiuniang took the lead and said that she would act in accordance with this rule in the future.
Jia Baoyu smiled slightly, didn't linger long, and then took Du Qiuniang's hand and walked out of the hall.
They have more important things to do......
