Geng Dashu forgot that this little song can't be sung to the girl's house, and when he walked over, Wang Qiao'er was already blushing, and scolded: "I'm not ashamed all day long, it's better to fall into the river and feed Wang Ba."

At this moment, Wang Si led his eight-year-old son, carrying an oiled paper bag in his hand, and hurriedly walked back.

Wang Qiao'er said: "Fourth brother is early, where have you gone?"

Wang Si wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Today I was so busy that I had to think of everything, our niece has always loved to eat snacks, so I hurriedly went to the temple fair to buy some candy." Otherwise, the noble dead man in front of the door!"

"Alas!" Wang Qiao'er sighed secretly for Nie Bald, this stall of new goods is in vain.

Seeing that my nephew is wearing a brand-new Liaodong black dogskin hat on his head, it is hot just looking at it, why wear it at this time? Besides, my nephew is so old, it's the time to be bald.

She asked, "How did you buy a fur hat?"

"Uh......" Wang Si coughed, "Don't mention it, it's not his mother who wants him to wear Tian Jun'er!" I had to buy a random one. At that time, I thought, I bought a thin one and now wear it, but it will be useless when it gets cold, so I bought a leather one and fought to get through the winter by being hot for a day. ”

It seemed that he was worried that his sister would complain that he was only caring about his son as an elder brother, Wang Si sighed again: "Everything is expensive these days, but pity me only has half a tael of silver left, good guy, a broken hat will be gone."

Wang Qiao'er said casually: "If you don't wear it today, get half a dog skin, and sew it for your nephew."

Originally, it was just a casual remark, but when Wang Si heard it, he said happily: "Really? Girl, if you can do it, then why should I buy it? Good! You sew one for your nephew, wear the one you bought for a long time, and when your niece leaves, I will go to the city to refund the money. ”

As a brother, Wang Qiaoer naturally didn't want to work in vain, so she said: "I bought all the hats, are people willing to return them?" Besides, why bother to make an extra trip, there is not much money. ”

"Half a tael of silver." Wang Si looked distressed, "Whether he is willing or not, I will teach your sister-in-law and a few of them to go, and make him turn the world upside down, and none of them will succeed." This kind of thing, our mothers are the best at it. ”

Wang Qiao'er said in her heart that you should talk more, now it's okay, you have to stay up late to sew hats, and she didn't squeak at the moment.

Seeing this, Wang Si smiled and said, "When Chunfang arrives, you come over to accompany her."

"Hmm!" Wang Qiaoer happily agreed, not for a hat, but also to get close to Wang Chunfang.

Not long after Wang Si entered the room, he suddenly came out of the house with a head mouse, and then Wang Si's grandmother scolded and chased Le out, and chased him all the way to the yard, and Wang Si had long since disappeared.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Wang Qiao'er asked.

Wang Si's wife raised her hand and said angrily: "Look! What has become of my hands being harmed by your old Wang family? Thinking about making the buyer who has received a thousand knives sweat scarf, otherwise there is no shame in front of the distinguished guest? Who would have thought that damn buy me a black one! I was so ugly that I asked him to change to pink or white, but he actually said that I didn't deserve a beautiful color, do you think I'm angry? Who am I sorry for like this? Sister-in-law, don't you know, when I was a girl in my mother's house, the neighbors said that I was Sai Tianxian! Every time I buy needlework in front of the door, which of those posteriors doesn't shine in their eyes? By the way, the son of the blacksmith next door died of tuberculosis because of what I thought. At the beginning, if my father and mother had more eyes, I would have been richer than Miss Chunfang, but I didn't have this luck. ”

After saying it in one breath, Wang Si's wife didn't breathe, and then said very quickly: "Xu gave the one who suffered a thousand knives, and he was poor within a few years of entering the door, and now he is washing and sewing all day long, smoky and burning, and with a group of children, he has ruined me alive." Your brother is not sorry for himself, but now he dislikes it. Good! It's strange when he comes back to see that I don't toss him to death!"

Wang Qiao'er blinked, looking at the fourth sister-in-law's stupid pig-like body and a pair of rotten red apple-like eyes, thinking of the good name of "Sai Tianxian", she almost couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, Wang Da smiled at this time, and immediately pushed Wang Qiaoer's smile back.

It turned out that Wang Da had a friend who used to work as an economist on the dock in Quanzhou, and now he was preparing to open a Persian restaurant in the prosperous area of Hangzhou, and he wanted to hire a few maids to make a name for himself.

Wang Da saw that it was profitable, so he thought about calling his sister to go, the salary was good, and he also had benefits, and told her and the nurse a few days ago.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were almost no waitresses in restaurants, and the maids in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion had a long history, and they were considered to be a very lowly industry by the nurse, and they were unwilling.

Wang Qiaoer knows very well that with her own dilapidated family, she can't marry any good family, coupled with the booming economic environment in Jiangnan, her ideas are relatively open, and she is very interested in going out to see the prosperous world outside while she is young.

But when I thought of dealing with all kinds of men, I naturally felt shy, especially the nurse was afraid that the men outside would be uneasy and kind, and she would be tempted to be bad, so the result of the discussion was refusal.

"Nurse." Wang Qiao'er shouted.

Wang Da said: "Don't worry, I have already made three chapters of the law over there, that is, the girl who serves the dishes, two taels of silver a month, and the shopkeeper is my brother of the alliance, and no one will bully you in custody." Girl, if you want to, you have to prepare it immediately. ”

"Twenty-four taels of silver a year?" Wang Si's wife secretly spoke, but unfortunately her reputation was not good, and Xiucai's daughter couldn't make this money if she was killed.

The nurse ran out with her body on her back, and said: "Uncle's kindness is really rare, but Qiao'er is not suitable, and she has never left me, she is a stupid girl, she is served by others, where will she serve people?" Uncle, you'd better find someone else. ”

"Why can't you think so?" Wang Da frowned, "Our family is poor now, do you think she is the same as her niece?" If you don't want to be high or low, you will always stay in the house? Or marry a peddler and pawn and work hard for the rest of your life? It's not that I'm saying unpleasant words, is it like you who climb on the kang all day long to work, tired and bent at the waist, and dazzled in the eyes, a flower-like girl will be tired into a little old woman in a few years! I have thought about this matter carefully, Qiao'er can only suffer for a lifetime here, as the old saying goes, good wine is also afraid of deep alleys, desperately let her go out to see the world, if you can meet a dignitary, maybe one step to the sky, you know that my king is worthy of his dead parents. ”

The nurse said, "This ...... Isn't this the same as the Liu family sent to sing in the village? Became a dust girl?"

"How can the two be confused?" Wang shouted, "Besides, the daughter of the Wang family has studied drama for a few years, and as soon as she appeared on stage, she was married by a hundred households, and Old Man Liu became the eldest master with him, don't you envy it?"

The nurse had nothing to say, thought about it, and said: "The old body has no identity to speak, but Qiao'er must not be willing to do so."

Wang Si turned to look at Wang Qiao'er and asked, "Sister, do you say a word, are you trapped in this well and be a toad for a lifetime, or do you want to jump out desperately, once you jump out of the dragon gate?"

Speaking of which, in addition to thinking about his benefits, Wang Si's vision is undoubtedly very advanced, and he does not have the heart of a pit girl, this matter is purely a good intention to kill two birds with one stone.

This year, it can't be easier to open a green house, the government and the private, the Lehu opera troupe, the secret prostitute and the warbler are self-employed, as long as they want to sell meat, they can open it no matter what, and there is no need to build a "restaurant" that sells dog meat with a sheep's head, so recruiting a few hostesses is purely to be different.

It's not that there are no young women to buy and sell in the next generation, but that those girls from poor families can be considered "people"? Only a girl like Wang Qiaoer can make a sensation.

The late lady of Wang Ge's hometown is a maid, what a big advertising effect.

Wang Qiaoer hesitated, nowadays in the south, there are many girls who go out to do embroidery and weaver girls, anyway, the Wang family has fallen, and no one will talk about it when they go out to work, even if they say it, what can they do? This is an era of laughing at the poor and not at the prostitute.

But as soon as she walks out, I'm afraid that there will be a complete difference between her and Wang Chunfang, and in the end, she is unwilling.
