Mu Jincheng's disease, heart disease superimposed on body disease, and the hot weather, the girls in Ruihua Courtyard all cheered up ten out of ten spirits, and waited carefully, the old lady was even more angry, and said cruelly, throughout the summer, Mu Jincheng didn't have to go out of the house, and he didn't have to go to see Mu Shaotang to ask for peace.

Mu Shaotang is a filial son, he is naturally obedient to his mother, and Mu Jincheng has done really well recently, although he is a strict father who does not smile, but he still feels sorry for him in his heart, and it is up to the old lady to decide.

The Mu family was a busy mess, but Gu Qingzhu, the initiator, didn't know it at all, she still cooked every day, but she never waited for someone to eat vegetables.

On the third day, Mama Guo asked Gu Qingzhu not to buy vegetables, she was not worried about the money, but felt that since the word from the Mufu side said that the third master was sick and would not come again for a while, the dishes in the kitchen could be eaten, so there was no need to work hard to make extra orders.

First, she is just a mother-in-law in charge, although the eldest lady appreciates and manages the weaving workshop, but she is always a subordinate, and she can't be like a master, greedy to open a small stove to eat.

Even though she has infinite scenery at this time, she will not be able to keep her momentum in the future, and she may not be said to be a powerful blessing by someone with a heart, and her decades of years in the courtyard of the deep house are not in vain, so she naturally knows how to collect words and deeds.

Second, Gu Qingzhu is very handy in making double silk spindles, and every day she cuts off one or two hours of buying vegetables and cooking, she can produce seven or eight catties of silk ingots, so Mama Guo wants her to reel silk wholeheartedly, speed up the speed, and complete it as soon as possible.

When Gu Qingzhu heard the news, he flashed for a moment, was this person angry at what she said that day and didn't come?

However, she was relieved for a moment.

After all, they are the difference between cloud and mud, only limited to the intersection of a porridge and a meal, Nancang County is so big, there is naturally better food worth pursuing, people's appetites are always changing, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, who knows which one will be preferred tomorrow?

Gu Qingzhu returned the purse and the rest of the money to Mama Guo, and simply reported the account, but finally settled the matter.

Mu Jincheng didn't come, the weaving workshop was still busy, Gu Qingzhu made more and more silk ingots day by day, and there were eleven catties today, even Mama Guo was a little surprised, and she weighed it twice before believing it.

According to her, one day is more than 100 yuan, which is worth two days of others, so it naturally attracts the envy of the girls next to her, and Gu Erni standing in the crowd is not envious but hateful.

She hated Mama Guo's partiality, and even more hated Gu Qingzhu for being stronger than her!

After dinner, Gu Erni was dragged out by Jia Min and Peng Pearl to wander around the courtyard, and walked to a secluded place in the verandah covered by wisteria branches, Jia Min looked up and looked around, and whispered: "Looking at Gu Qingzhu's villain today's appearance, I can't swallow this breath even if I think about it!" ”

"But it's not, one hundred wen a day, ten days is one or two silver, this money is coming too fast, besides, we don't have a double silk machine, why do you have to earn the money alone!" Peng Pearl stood on tiptoe and crushed the ants crawling on the ground to death.

"What's the way, I said it last time, but Mama Guo won't let me." Gu Erni leaned on the beauty leaning on the verandah and said dejectedly.

"Since she doesn't let us do it, she also wants to eat alone, even if she eats, she can't let her eat so smoothly!" Jia Min raised his hand and pulled a wisteria pod and pinched it viciously with his long nails.

"Yes, how can there be such an unfair thing in the world!" Peng Pearl echoed.

Gu Erni saw the two of them singing and harmonizing, so she straightened up and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Erni, we are sorry for you, it's just that we were too unlucky before, and we were punished every time, this time...... Do you still dare? Jia Min threw away the wisteria pod, half-bent over, and looked at Gu Erni at eye level.

"Why don't you dare? So far, I have nothing to hide from you, Gu Qingzhu and I are cousins, so I don't deal with them in the countryside, and now that I'm here, she and Gu Daya are like sisters, when did you miss me as a cousin? This time, she cheekily changed someone else's machine to make double silk, but she refused to say a good word for me in front of Mama Guo, what is the difference between such a relative and an enemy! Gu Erni was enraged and said angrily.

Jia Min and Peng Pearl quickly exchanged a happy look, and Peng Pearl pretended to persuade: "Forget it, forget it, don't be angry, look at it's late, let's go back." ”

"yes, let's go back and plan it well." Jia Min said, brushing away the lush branches and leaves of wisteria, looking left and right, and leaving calmly.

After the three of them left, a slender and long person came out from behind the camphor tree on the side of the wisteria trellis, and after two months of good food and good food, she was no longer as skinny as before, her cheeks were slightly full, and she had a bit of the ruddy that a girl should have, but her cheekbones were still high.

She was standing in a meadow planted with camphor, and she was holding a few freshly picked white mushrooms in her hands, and at this moment, she threw them down and hurried back to the backyard.

After a day or two, Gu Qingzhu continued to work as usual in the morning, but as soon as she stepped on the pedal, she heard a click, and the pedal suddenly broke!

"This ...... What's going on? Gu Qingzhu hurriedly came down to check, and saw that the pedal was all drooping down, and only a little sawdust was left.

"Why did yours break down?" Mama Guo walked over and took a look, and couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows.

"Who else is like mine?" Gu Qingzhu asked suspiciously.

She is the only one in the whole workshop to make double threads, so she cherishes the machine very much, and wipes the silk reeling machine every day after the work is stopped, and will never use brute force to break the pedal.

"There's one over there, it was broken the day before yesterday, it's exactly the same as your bad situation, the master in the woodcraft shop said that he would come today, and he just asked him to repair you by the way." Mama Guo sighed sadly.

"In that case, I'll change the single silk payment machine today." Gu Qingzhu said, lowered his head to collect his things, and prepared to go to other vacant seats.

"Gu Erni, you and Qingzhu exchange, let her use the machine, you use another machine." Mama Guo stopped Gu Qingzhu and turned her head to Gu Erni and said.

"Don't bother, I'll use the same as other machines!" Gu Qingzhu didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly refused.

"It's a waste for her to dominate the double silk machine, you are fast, or you will use it!" Mama Guo did not shy away from her dislike of Gu Erni.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of inhalation in the workshop, and such a difference was too obvious.

Gu Erni, who was sitting on the silk reeling machine, bit the meat in her mouth hard, and couldn't help but not get mad on the spot, she was still happy just now, Gu Qingzhu's machine was broken, and Mama Guo would definitely teach herself how to reel and pay silk, but she never expected that it would be such an understatement, it was too deceitful!

"Hurry up, don't grind!" Mama Guo shouted impatiently.

Gu Erni had no choice but to stand up in a reluctant voice, pack up her things, and move elsewhere.

Gu Qingzhu sat down to reel the silk, and the workshop was back to normal, only the sound of silk whirring and spinning could be heard, and Gu Qingzhu obviously felt the burning sensation of being stared at in her back, she didn't have to look back, she knew which two it was.

She had the mentality of leaving sooner or later, and she didn't want to have much contact with them, so she just pretended not to know and buried herself in her own business.

The weather has entered the hottest summer season of the year, the day is shaking, the sun is sweating profusely, such weather, a puddle of water can be poured out of the bamboo mat at night, let alone noon, therefore, Gu Qingzhu let the bed for Qingying to sleep, she cleaned up by herself, and entered the weaving workshop.

She wanted to take advantage of the cool ice cubes in the weaving workshop, and hurry up to do a little more, so that she could not be so hurried in the afternoon, as soon as she walked in the door, she saw a middle-aged man with a saw, temporarily grabbed the errand, and beckoned to her: "Girl, my apprentice has gone back to get the guy, please do me a favor." ”

"You're here to repair the silk reeling machine?" Gu Qingzhu stood in place and asked a little uneasily.

The middle-aged man pointed to the carpenter's box and said with a smile: "Yes, Mama Guo invited me here, but the girl is very cautious." ”

"And what's going on with my machine? I've been using it very carefully. Gu Qingzhu walked over and expressed his doubts.

"This is exactly what you need to help me put the machine down, and I can only know the reason after a closer inspection, so that it can be repaired quickly." The middle-aged man said, placing a few square pieces of wood on the ground.

Gu Qingzhu and he worked together to turn the silk reeling machine on its side and put it on a square log, the middle-aged man lay on the ground to check, although Gu Qingzhu didn't understand, he also stood on the side and looked.

"Hey, your machine is not the same place as the bad one before, how can it be broken here?" The middle-aged man was surprised.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingzhu held his knees and bent down to ask.

"Is this really your machine?" The middle-aged man sat on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"yes." Gu Qingzhu didn't know why, nodded and said, and then added, "It was used by my friend before, but she also cherished it." ”

"It's not a female doll like you who can break the pedal shaft, and besides, the break is so neat, it looks like a knife cut." The middle-aged man scratched his head, unable to understand for a while.

"Knife-cut?" Gu Qingzhu repeated in a low voice, his heart was suddenly startled, and he raised his head suddenly.

"yes, and there were several cuts." The middle-aged man used his strength and broke his foot off.

Gu Qingzhu stared at the connecting shaft, and sure enough, there were several deep holes, and there were no mud spots and dust at the holes, which were obviously recent.

"Someone is obviously deliberately trying to get along with me." Gu Qingzhu snorted coldly.

"The girl has offended people here?" The middle-aged man turned his head and asked.

"Uncle, I ask you not to say the reason for the bad machine for the time being, when I catch that person, can you give me another witness?" Gu Qingzhu bowed.

"At a young age, it's not easy to be away from home, don't be polite, I promise you." The middle-aged man waved his hand sympathetically.

"Thank you, uncle." Gu Qingzhu ran to pour a bowl of tea and handed it to him to drink.

The shaft was broken, it was not a small problem, the middle-aged man couldn't fix the machine for a while, so he and Gu Qingzhu reset the silk reeling machine and put it away, only repaired the original single wire machine, and left.

Gu Qingzhu reeled the silk silently, but she kept thinking in her heart, she had a new opportunity today, and the plans of those who were about to move behind her back fell through, and the old trick must be repeated, but the workshop was locked by Mama Guo herself at night, how did they destroy the machine without anyone knowing?

Gu Qingzhu wrapped the two silk ingots, and couldn't help but sit and be stunned for a while, the workshop is very large, but it is also open, except for the silk reeling machine is the silk reeling pot, it is not easy to hide a person, besides, when you get together to eat at night, who is not there, it is easy to be seen.

Her gaze was raised, and the flames of the sun shone on the window lattice, white and swaying, stabbing people from opening their eyes.
