In the evening, Qian Jin took out all the books for the imperial examination such as "Zi Lun" and "Science" to review, and he had less than half a month to take the exam. He has been running around for the past few months, and he has fallen behind in his homework.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

"The door is not bolted." Qian Jin responded.

After a while, the silkworm girl came in with a bunch of washed clothes and folded them neatly at the head of the bed.

Since the silkworm girl came, Qian Jin hardly had to worry about housework, and everything was taken care of by the silkworm girl. A few times, Qian Jin saw that the silkworm girl's little hands were red from the cold, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, so he had to help with some housework. To put it bluntly, he is not used to being served.

As a result, the silkworm mother said that these jobs should have been done by her, and if she let Qian into a scholar to do these rough jobs, she would not be able to see people when she went out in the future. Qian Jin can't do it, so she can only think about whether to hire a few servants in the future.

After the silkworm girl gently packed up her clothes, she gave a salute and prepared to leave. Qian Jin hurriedly got up and grabbed her hand, but it was cold at the beginning, so he simply grabbed her with a pair of soft pancreas and warmed her with two big hands.

The silkworm girl was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she wanted to break free, but the woman's strength was small, so she had to let Qian Jin hold it, and said with a face full of grievances: "The master is a scholar, so he has to bully me as a weak woman." ”

Qian Jin couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that the silkworm girl misunderstood that she was inferior to her. He sighed, pulled a stool and invited the silkworm girl to sit down, and said softly: "On such a cold day, why don't you wear the fox fur rewarded by Your Majesty?" ”

Silkworm Niang was a little nervous, probably a little unaccustomed to being alone with a man at night, so she only heard her say in a slurred voice: "That dress is too expensive, I'm afraid...... Broken...... It's not good. ”

"Clothes are meant to be worn, and if they get dirty, you can buy a new one. And the cloth and brocade, which should be made into some clothes. The Li Liang brothers and sisters grow up quickly, and the clothes on their bodies will be short after a long time. and Brother Jin, who always wears that cotton robe, on which the oil flowers are as thick as a summer coat, and it is time to make him a few clothes. ”

The silkworm girl listened very carefully, and said in her heart that the master was a meticulous person and thought so thoroughly. After Qian Jin finished speaking, the silkworm mother replied: "Master, the silkworm girl will tailor her own clothes, and there is no need to ask a tailor in Fang City." I'm going to buy some good needles and threads tomorrow to ......."

Qian Jin heard that the silkworm girl would cut clothes, and his mind couldn't help but move.

Although there are many styles of clothes in this era, they always feel a little less energetic when they wear them, especially women's clothes. Men's clothes are also mainly based on long shirts, which are elegant and elegant, but it is particularly inconvenient to act. The last time he met a widow, he had to cut off the hem in advance, or he might trip himself over as he ran.

Since the silkworm girl has this skill, she can plan to open a tailoring shop in the future, so that she doesn't have to burrow in firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long. However, this matter still has to be considered in the long run, Chen Guo is very particular about what clothes and fabrics are worn by Shinong businessmen, and he cannot exceed the system.

Thinking of this, Qian Jin said softly: "Listen to me, this time I still ask the tailor of Fang City to do it." We can earn this money slowly in the future, but don't tire yourself out. Although the silkworm girl was reluctant to spend money, she saw that Qian Jin insisted, so she had no choice but to rely on him.

After a while, Qian Jin asked again, "Is the silver you given enough to use?" ”

"There are more than 80 taels in total, and the savings are enough to last for more than half a year. The master just needs to feel at ease and warm the book, and when the time comes, I will make some sachets and sell them in the market, and the capital will wear this. The silkworm replied.

Qian Jinxin said that when life in the capital is not as good as when he was in the village, he needed to buy all kinds of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

And when he came out of his house, he brought with him a total of four hundred denarii. Along the way, there is a lot of food and drink, and Erya often has to eat some fine grains, and when he arrived in the capital, he had less than a hundred taels left, and he bought some things when he rented a house. This is really not a good family to know that oil and rice are expensive, but fortunately, there are still some gold coins that can save the emergency.

After the imperial examination, he has to find a way to make money. But no matter what, it is not the turn of the silkworm girl to sell sachets to make money. During this time, Qian Jin had already begun to calculate in his mind, but he was struggling to try it soon.

"You don't have to worry about making money, I'm all out there. Silkworm Niang, you just take care of the house. Qian Jin commanded.

The silkworm girl nodded 'um', ran outside to find a few hemp ropes and came in, and said: "The master will walk around the capital in the future, and there will be a few decent clothes that will be laughed at, so I'll help the master measure the circumference first." ”

Qian Jin stood up and let the silkworm girl pull the thread and measure the body. The silkworm girl was light-hearted, but it made him itch, so she said some jokes to divert his attention.

"Silkworm Niang, don't you have a name for peeing?"

"My mother's family name is Hua, because she wants to be a child daughter-in-law for her husband's family, so she didn't choose a name. Later, the people in the village got used to calling silkworm girls, so they kept calling them like this. ”

"Hua's surname is good, why don't I give you a name?"

"The life of the silkworm girl was saved by the master, and the name of the master is whatever the master says." Silkworm Niang paused and said.

Qian Jin searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and after a while, he thought of a name: "Why don't you call it Hua Qianxue?" ”

Silkworm Niang stopped the work in her hand, silently recited it in her heart, and said with a smile: "The master is a scholar, and even choosing a name is so poetic, I heard this name and remembered that it snowed one winter, and there was a plum blossom in the village. ”

"How about that name?"

"It's all according to the ...... of the master" silkworm girl got the name, or the name taken by her own master, so she naturally couldn't help but be happy.

Qian Jin saw that the silkworm girl was smiling like a flower, and couldn't help but get drunk. This is the first time that the silkworm girl has laughed so happily after leaving Sangmu Village, so she quipped: "The silkworm girl has a name, and she will have face if she marries in the future." As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

Sure enough, the silkworm girl's face changed greatly when she heard this, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

She looked at Qian Jin and asked, "Does the master want to marry me to other people?" I know, it must have been Master Jin who made fun of you during the day, and you disliked the silkworm girl, so you wanted to find a reason to send me away. Originally, my life was saved by the master, and it makes sense for the master to deal with it. However, since I followed the master, I feel that I have hope for life, and I hope to be able to serve the master for a lifetime. If you want the silkworm to leave, you might as well let me die. ”

When Qian Jin heard these words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Since Silkworm Niang came to the capital with him, he has not been idle, but he didn't expect Silkworm Niang to hide so many things in her heart.

Think about it carefully, since the silkworm girl has followed her, she has to give someone an explanation, right? However, he wasn't sure if the silkworm girl was willing to marry him, after all, no one had said anything about it, so he tentatively said: "If I marry in the future, will the silkworm still follow me?" It is said that women are jealous, and they are not afraid that the housewife will bully you when the time comes? ”

"The old man's character and appearance are all of the highest grade...... In the future, it is natural to marry a young lady with comparable character as a daughter-in-law...... You don't think you can bully me. If the silkworm mother has a hard life...... When I met a jealous woman, I endured it for the sake of my lord. The silkworm girl said intermittently, wiping her tears as she spoke.

"I've thought about it so carefully, it seems that Silkworm Niang usually thinks about a lot of things." Qian Jin saw that she had a nose and eyes, so he wiped the tears from her cheeks and said with a smile.

"Master, can't you make fun of silkworm girls?" Seeing that Qian Jin was still laughing, the silkworm girl couldn't help but say anxiously.

Qian Jin stopped the joke. He stared at the eyes of the silkworm girl and said word by word: "Actually, even if you want me to marry the silkworm girl, I am also willing." ”

Hearing this, the silkworm girl surprisingly did not respond. She looked at Qian Jin, as if she wanted to take every contour of that face into her mind, a pair of small mouths opened, as if there were a thousand words, but when the words came to her mouth, she only said: "Master must not say such things again in the future." I'm a widow and I'm going to be poked in the back if I remarry. My lord has such a good future, and in the future, I will have to walk in the officialdom, and let others know that you have married me, wouldn't you be gossiped about? ”

"What do they do? I live for myself, not for others. ”

"The master can have this heart, the silkworm girl is already content. Since then, the silkworm girl has been the master's person. It's just that this marriage should not be mentioned again. You can ignore it, but I can't ruin your reputation. Silkworm Niang said urgently.

After that, the silkworm girl found a pair of scissors, cut off a strand of his hair while Qian Jin was not paying attention, and then cut a strand of green silk on her head and knotted the two strands of hair.

"It's a blessing that the silkworm girl can be loved by the master. I didn't dare to think about the others, so I used this green silk to fully share my love with the master. In the future, the silkworm girl will be your person in life, and your ghost will be in death. With that, the silkworm girl hid her face and ran out of the room.
