As the temperature gets lower and lower, and the autumn wind occasionally blows, Chen Wen has already hurried to make the winter coat, adding a thick layer of hair to it, washing it, drying it for several days, and finally being able to wear it today.

Li Suniang tried it on first, and after only wearing it for a while, she sweated.

"Does it fit? Is there a place where it is wider? ”

Li Suniang pulled here and there, and said happily: "Suitable." ”

It's just that it's really thick, and if winter comes, she just needs to wear it like she does now. She wanted to take it off, but after thinking about it, she was going to wear it out to show off what she had just done today.

So Li Suniang said: "I'm going to wear it out and walk around to see if I can block the wind." ”

Chen Wen turned his head to look at the weather outside, and looked at the few leaves on the poplar tree, which did not move.

It's windless, huh? What to try out there?

However, Chen Wen didn't say anything to Li Suniang's eager eyes, nodded and asked her to go early and return early.

Grandma straightened up and left, and Chen Wen slowly tried on her clothes.

Shaking the somewhat wide cuffs, she pinched the rough, took off her clothes, and went to look for needlework.

As soon as the thread passed through the pinhole, Chen Wen tied a slipknot when a subtle sound of horses' hooves came from outside the house.

She raised her eyes to look, but she didn't see it, thinking that it was coming from a distance, and thought to herself, it was quite unusual for a carriage to come here.

After a while, Zhang Alan broke in excitedly, raised his hand to the outside, took a deep breath, and said to Chen Wen: "In the village, there is a carriage in the village, and I asked Chen Wen where his family was all the way." When I heard it, I came to you? I'll tell you right away. ”

"Coming for me?" Chen Wen pointed at himself, asked in disbelief, paused, and suddenly stared at him, knowing who it was.

It must have been the old lady who had come to talk to her about business.

The merchant said that she would come to visit every few days, and that there should be no one else but her.

She put down the needle and thread in her hand, and while rummaging through her purse, she said to Zhang Alan: "You go out and help me see if she has found here, I will go out in a while." ”

Zhang Alan nodded and ran out.

Chen Wen counted the purses one by one, and when he counted enough, he directly grabbed the tassels under the purse and walked out.

The carriage had stopped at the door of her house, and there was a bloated old woman standing beside the car, who was talking to Zhang Alan.

Chen Wen hurriedly walked over and heard Zhang Alan stumble to the old woman: "It's not me, it's not me, it's mine, my sister next door, she will come out later." ”

The old woman smiled kindly at Zhang Alan, and then looked up to see Chen Wen: "Is it her?" ”

It's a pity that these eyes, far away, can't see people clearly, and they are blurry. When Chen Wen stopped in front of her, the old woman saw the pile of purses in Chen Wen's hand, and thought that it was her.

A rather likable and well-behaved little girl.

is quite different from the little embroidery girl I think. I thought that people who could embroider such delicate flowers and leaves were more or less bookish.

But Chen Wen didn't have it. In fact, I didn't feel much shocked, because the most shocking thing was that the merchant had already told her that it was this little embroidery girl, who was only thirteen years old this year.

Zhang Alan nodded again and again: "It's her." ”

Chen Wen politely blessed his body: "Thank you for your hard work, you came from afar." ”

She saluted so blessedly, which scared the old woman. I didn't expect her to grow up in such a place, and she was also educated.

The old lady was surprised, but she did a good job on the surface, and she was also slightly blessed: "It should be." ”

Without saying much, Chen Wen went straight to the point and handed the purse in both hands to the old woman.

The old lady didn't answer, and at this time, a mellow little maid got out of the car, she took the purse in Chen Wen's hand, looked at them one by one, and counted them.

The little maid's face was not smiling, she counted twice as usual, and then nodded to the old woman: "Three more." ”

For the extra three, it was given by Chen Wen, and it was not too much to give three for a large list of fifty taels.

The old lady nodded slightly to the little maid, and the little maid took out a half-new purse from her arms and gave it to Chen Wen.

"You count."

Chen Wen checked it, opened it and looked at it, and counted it carefully: "I know." ”

"Why don't you count?"

"The old woman's temperament is not ordinary, how can she lie to me as a little girl."

Chen Wen looked carefully, the old woman was wearing it on her body and feet, the fabric was not ordinary, there was a faint flash of golden light on the cuffs, and she also carried a maid.

The maids were better dressed than they were.

This old lady is not the master, she must be in charge of the house, and her position should be very high.

The old woman smiled, thinking to herself that she was a smart girl.

"My master said, I like the purse you make very much, hanging around the waist, swaying and shaking, strange and good-looking, so I want to ask you to make a purse for our house, and the amount of purse for the ladies in the house every year after wrapping it, I don't know what you think?"

It is worthy of coming out of the compound, he is not in a hurry to speak, his tone is gentle and polite, and he speaks properly in Chen Wen's heart.

She thought about it, Bai San also said that she would wrap the flowers in the past, but after contacting Bai San, her words and actions made Chen Wen not like it. But today, what this old lady said spoke to her heart.

I want to hire her, she has a gentle attitude, she is very talkative.

"Every 30 days, someone comes to pick up the purse, about five at a time. Don't worry, girl, we won't treat you badly with a monthly salary, eight taels of silver a month, what do you think? ”

Before Chen Wen could reply, her arm was choked by Zhang Alan, Chen Wen turned his head to look at her and smirked.

She could know from Zhang Alan's expression what she was thinking now.

Eight taels of silver, it's stupid not to take it.

That's a steady income.

Of course, Chen Wen is not stupid, she pretended to be reserved and lowered her head and thought for a while, and the old woman did not urge, and waited quietly.

She said after a long time, "Okay." ”

She was able to promise it was already in the old aunt's expectation, she kept a kind smile, and only after hearing Chen Wen agree, she turned her head to look at the little girl.

The little maid took out another purse, took out two taels of silver from the purse, put one in Chen Wen's hand, and put one in Zhang Alan's hand.

Chen Wen put it away calmly, and by the way, he knew that this family has the habit of rewarding people.

One or two silver, don't collect nothing.

On the contrary, Zhang Alan looked incredulous, looked at the old woman and the little maid, and said, "Is this really for me?" ”

Oh my God, she didn't do anything, she just said a few words to this aunt, and she stuffed a tael of silver for herself?! This is a big family where the rewarders will casually take out a tael of silver.

The corners of the old woman's mouth curled a little more, and she didn't reply to her words, but only said to Chen Wen: "I'm tired of the girl." ”

Then she turned around, and the little maid helped her to step on the little stool, and then into the carriage.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the old woman's face: "See you next time." ”

She has a good impression of this smart girl, and the somewhat cute girl next to her.

I'm used to seeing people who play tricks in the courtyard of the deep house, and it's strange to be happy to be in contact with simple people.
