Chapter Eighty-Eight: Taste the Bitterness for Life
The decoration of the pastry shop, from the front shop to the first courtyard at the back, is going to be made into a private room for the ladies' gatherings.
Including the clean room, all must be changed. Mama Xue knew that there was still so much attention to the clean room, and it was necessary for her to go to Fenggu Town again. Years of habit, do not use the clean room outside. The clean house in the village of Fenggu Town sounds more elaborate than that of the princess's mansion.
The courtyard on the back floor can accommodate people, a small courtyard style, and Mama Xue suggested building a baking room here. Dong Xiaoying vetoed it, to build a bakery in the city, there must be a pastry chef, and she has no ability to separate pastry chefs now.
Mrs. Niu was satisfied, and she knew that the fourth daughter-in-law was not fooled and lame.
"Let the old lady live here, and if there is a shop in the future, the old ladies will not have to work hard." Dong Xiaoying said.
"And who's going to deliver the cake?" Hua Pozi is in a hurry, what's the matter, with a store, and let people grab a job?
Dong Xiaoying said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, our store needs a lot of manpower to open, and you have to manage the store here, it's really busy." ”
Mrs. Niu was moved! The county lord is too good to them, so he can rest assured that he will give such a large shop and give silver to decorate, which is really interesting.
"Mama rest assured, we must work hard, and we will never earn eight dollars for the county lord if we can earn one or two. You can send someone to watch, we don't have two hearts. ”
Mama Xue smiled and blossomed, is this a sign of loyalty? I really don't need it, as long as you send snacks to the princess's mansion every day, and there are no mistakes.
Dong Xiaoying said: "It's to trouble Mama to send someone here, we are all country women, vulgar and don't know how to be polite." It is still necessary to learn some etiquette when receiving guests. ”
Mama Xue thinks that this can be had, after all, they are all wives from various provinces, Miss Qianjin, don't let these country women collide.
"I went back yesterday and already Bingming County Lord, pick up people and things to teach etiquette, please teach you the shopkeeper of the rouge shop next door."
The decoration matter was decided, and Dong Xiaoying said that she would send decoration drawings to Mama Xue.
The flower woman was in a hurry, and Mrs. Niu was holding Dong Xiaoying's arm and sitting in the carriage with the wilting chick in her arms.
Hua Pozi was not idle in the car, and said: "Close to my mother, do you think it's strange?" Sister Hu is amazing, isn't it? She is a serious old lady, the most powerful lady appointed by the imperial court! I'm fine when I see Sister Hu, but when I see this grandmother, my skin is tight, and I have no place to put my hands! ”
If you want to talk about Mrs. Hu, she is really down-to-earth, the old ladies all know that she is the Duchess of the Kingdom, but they really don't take her seriously, no matter how many servants are around, Mrs. Hua can still chatter happily with people.
Mrs. Niu snorted: "The king of Hades is so difficult to see the little ghost, that woman is an old slave, I don't see it, where does she look like a slave." ”
Fang Yue regretted it very much, he shouldn't have come along, people didn't mention the lotion at all, it was better to stay at home and go to the pastry room to mix some food!
"It's such a reason, close to my mother, let's open a store, can't we just be busy! Who are you going to ask to help? Hua Pozi asked again.
Mrs. Niu looked at Dong Xiaoying.
Dong Xiaoying said: "I don't care about the deployment of personnel, you look at it, you are a shareholder, and you have the money you worry about!" ”
Mrs. Niu smiled, yes, she likes the fourth daughter-in-law like this, what is clearly laid out, not ambiguous at all.
"The shopkeeper let the money strings come? I greet the guests with my mother-in-law, and then choose a few little daughters-in-law to take turns to the city to see the long-term, do you like it? ”
Dong Xiaoying shook her head, no, "There is only one money skewer, we have to open stores in several cities, and Mingyuan wants Brother Skewer to follow him to help." Besides, there are many female customers in our store, and the male shopkeeper is not successful, so don't shirk the old lady, you will be the shopkeeper of the pastry shop in Leping City. ”
"I won't win, I won't settle accounts. I don't understand anything! "Mrs. Niu is a little worried, she really can't do it, the shopkeeper is her job?
"Old lady, I'm sure you can do it." Dong Xiaoying looked at the old lady with a smile, her gaze was very firm.
Fang Yue yawned, "Milk, don't worry!" You must be able to do it, don't you just collect money, let my mother tell you, I really can't remember, draw a table. ”
Mrs. Niu scratched her head, "I won't win!" Mingyuan taught us literacy at night, and I still haven't remembered the surnames of the whole village! ”
How many surnames are there in the village? Fang doesn't need to remember, everyone knows that there are only Sister Zhang, Zheng family, Guo family, Zhao family, and Wang family.
Hua Pozi shouted outside: "I can't remember, we old women, I can't wait for one person with one surname." ”
All right! There are a bit of old ladies.
Regarding the names of the old ladies, Dong Xiaoying specially explained to her daughter.
A queen of the previous dynasty established a simplified version of the marriage law, which guaranteed that the woman's dowry belonged to the daughter-in-law's private property, and the husband's family could not seize it, and the daughter-in-law could not be asked to take out the dowry in the name of her children. Another is that in the past, when a woman got married, she was given her husband's surname, like she was Fang Dong's family.
The queen stipulated that married girls should not forget their parents' kindness, and allowed them to privately use their maiden name to call themselves.
Dong Xiaoying once suspected that the queen was wearing it!
The first batch of ten villagers during the Chung Yeung Festival moved into their new homes.
When the time came, the firecrackers were lit outside the ancestral hall that was urgently built, the patriarch covered his ears, stood outside the three zhang and grinned, this is worthy of the ancestors and the ancestors, we are still in the right, the people in the village have lived in the blue brick house, and even the ancestral hall of the Fang family is more magnificent than before.
The Fang clan followed the patriarch to bow down, women don't need to participate in this kind of thing, the day before the women cleaned up the ancestral hall, the rest is all men's business.
Then Fang Mingyuan moved, the first row behind the large conference room, in front of the second house, the door number said Fang Lingtong and the fourth family. The last exploding firecracker landed, and Fang Mingyuan walked into the new home with a smile with his family.
Then the firecrackers sounded, and the patriarch covered his face with a wooden barrel, laughing and looking at his new home, with the door number of the patriarch Fang Lingyi's house written on it, as if shining in the morning light.
Then Fang Minggui and Fang Mingquan began to set off firecrackers. Mrs. Niu went to deliver the cake and was not there, but Zhang and Zhao were very happy to look at the brand.
Mrs. Niu's house number is written on Mrs. Niu's house, is the family's scholar, and now the fourth official is personally decided, saying that the old lady has worked hard, and his family writes the name of the father, why can't the family write the name of the old lady?
Mrs. Niu said that she was not in the middle of her mouth, there was no such rule, the smile in her heart was overflowing from the top of her head, anyone could see it, Mrs. Niu was very happy and satisfied!
Zhang and Zhao had a thought in their hearts, if one day, there is also a sign at the door of their house, can they write Mrs. Zhang's house? Mrs. Zhao's house?
Hanging at the door of Zhang's house is the sign of Grandma Zhang's house. The old man in the village who is over seventy, don't say to the sign, what Grandma Zhang says, we must be obedient, in addition to respecting the elderly, it is also a respect for the old man's life experience.
Only the widow and old lady in the village have this treatment, and the Zhang and Zhao families looked at their husbands with a clear heart.
It's a bit of a drag, but ...... You're still dealing with it alive!
