Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend Chapter 7: Finding People and Negotiating Wages
Knowing that Yun Xiu had doubts, Gu Liu kindly pulled her up and pressed her shoulders in a circle.
"See, the places you can see are all the fields of the master, and I gave the name 'a piece of land'."
Yun Xiu's stunned beads were about to pop out, such a place full of mountains and wilderness was all his!
With so much land, even if you don't want to plant it in the future, find some tenants to rent it out, and the rent money for a year alone will have to be dozens of taels, not to mention the miscellaneous income.
"Sixth master, you are a big landlord!" Yun Xiu said with heartfelt emotion.
It's a pity that this Gu Liu, like her father, doesn't know how to make a living, and the jewelry store in their town has thirty acres of land, all of which are covered in silk and satin.
Gu Liu has so much land, planting something like dead branches, what else can he do except sell two copper plates as firewood in autumn?
"Don't be envious, don't make money." Gu Liu said faintly on the side.
Yun Xiu rolled her eyes in her heart and gave him a big eye, if he doesn't plant grain or rice, he can make money if he grows thin poles all over the mountains.
I glanced at the 'One Piece of Land' sign again, and in the distance below the sign, there was a figure who began to walk slowly towards them like an ant, getting closer and closer.
Squinted his eyes, he didn't really see it, thinking that he was the patron who came to find Gu Liu, so he opened his mouth to remind.
"Sixth master, someone is here."
Gu Liu got up and looked up, "I don't know, are you looking for you?" β
Yun Xiu squinted her eyes again, but she still couldn't see the face of the person who came.
Her eyes are swollen, although they don't hurt anymore, but in the past two days, she has always seen double vision, and if she cries again, she is afraid that she will really become blind.
Seeing that Yunxiu's eyes were blurred, Gu Liu poked her head: "Don't look at it if you can't see it clearly, it's not good-looking, if you don't take good care of your eyes, when the time comes, you will become blind, I think you won't even be able to do the job of feeding pigs." β
Yunxiu let out an 'oh' and squatted on the ground to continue planting her land.
After a while, the man in the distance walked to the ground, and after seeing the girl squatting in front of him, he trotted all the way over.
turned the squatting Yun Xiu's body around, the strength was too great, Yun Xiu didn't stabilize her body, and sat on the ground.
Gu Liu stretched out his hand to stop the man, and scolded sharply: "Who are you!" Do! β
Yun Xiu's buttocks hurt so hard that it took a long time to get up after pressing the ground.
Look up: "Big sister! β
The person in front of her is Yun Xiu's eldest sister - Yun Dani.
His face was covered with sweat, he looked dusty, his clothes were covered with dirt, his trouser legs were torn in several places, the cloth was hanging there, swaying in the wind, and the burden in his hand was small, which should be dry food.
Finally found the third sister, Yun Dani's heart fell for several days, and she said weakly, "It's okay if you're okay", and as soon as the words fell, the person fainted.
When she opened her eyes again, Yun Dani found herself lying on the bed, and her clothes had been cleaned.
She remembered that she had found Yunxiu before she passed out, but now she was gone.
"Yunxiu! Yunxiu! After shouting twice, Yun Xiu hurriedly ran over with wet hands and wiped her hands on her apron, "What's wrong, what's wrong, eldest sister." β
Yun Dani hugged her in her arms, and her nose was sour and she cried out.
"I thought I'd never find you again, Yunxiu."
On the night Yunxiu left home, Master Huang celebrated his birthday the next day, so he gave the long-term and short-term workers in the family a holiday.
A few days ago, I heard the mothers-in-law who worked together talk about the tragic destruction of Li Xiucai's family, Li He'an, the name she is familiar with, is the fiancΓ© of her third sister's marriage, when the marriage was made, Li Jianazheng had to marry their family with a set of mother-in-law's clothes.
The marriage was a couple, and it was about her mother, and later her father was afraid that others would listen to the joke when he was afraid of shouting, so he secretly ripped the cloth and asked her to do it in private.
Although the Li family is bitter, but in the end, it is the in-laws who are married, and the third sister is also quite satisfied with this marriage on weekdays, afraid that something will happen at home, and she only has one day off, so she also rushed home overnight.
As soon as I got home, I found that Erniang's face was dark, my father was squatting in the corner of the wall silently, and Sini took the candy she gave and quietly went back to the house and stuffed it into her small box.
It was Erni who pulled her to the kitchen, biting her ear and saying that Yunxiu refused to marry and ran away.
Yun Xiu is outside alone, where can he go, I heard that after the accident at Li Xiucai's house, there are still people from the government in the courtyard of the Li family collecting evidence at the scene.
The only thing she could go to was her aunt's house, and the villagers also said that at the entrance of the village in the afternoon, they saw Yunxiu talking to her aunt and cousin.
Originally, Yun Dani thought that it would be good for Yun Xiu to stay at her aunt's house for one night, and Ming'er would come back to admit her mistake and accept her softness, and this would be over.
Although Erniang said that she had a bigger temper, she was soft-hearted and unwilling to marry, so she could still make sense with her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was polished the next day, my aunt came to deliver a basket of vegetables.
In the voice, he was asking about Yunxiu openly and secretly, and he looked into the house vigorously.
Yun Dani has been a maid in Master Huang's house for so long, and she still has this kind of intelligence.
Yun Xiu went to her aunt's house, but she must have run away again, otherwise her aunt wouldn't have come to the house early in the morning to see people.
As soon as her aunt left, Yun Dani picked up a few sweet potatoes from the bun basket and wrapped them in a bag, and went out to find Yun Xiu. Her sister knew that she had run away from home to her aunt's house, and then from her aunt's house, she must have encountered something important that made no sense.
She ran all over the neighboring villages, but she couldn't find any trace of Yunxiu.
Later, I heard from the hunter who went down the mountain to buy things that there was a large private field at the foot of Liu Mountain, and in the past few days, I had seen the man who farmed the land and led a girl to wander around the street. She's just here to find it.
Yun Daniu didn't know that the little girl that Orion said was Qingqing, and she only thought that Yun Xiu had been abducted and trafficked.
By mistake, someone really found her.
"Yunxiu, do you know the way?" After crying, Yun Dani wiped the tears on her face, since she found Yun Xiu, she had to think of taking her to escape home.
Yun Xiu nodded, "I know." I have a good memory, and I remember everything I walked through. β
"Then when can we escape?" For fear that the people outside would hear it, Yun Dani lowered her voice and said.
Get out? Yun Xiu was stunned, and then laughed with a snort: "Sister, don't you think I'm being abducted." β
Yun Dani was still a little confused about the situation, when she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door with something.
"Is it the sixth master? Come on in. Yun Xiu said.
He muttered in a low voice: "Why haven't I seen you knock on the door so well-behaved before, and when don't you want to hammer the door panel of my house......"
Gu Liu took an abacus, walked in with a smile in the spring breeze, glared at the girl who was thinking about it on the side, pulled a chair from the edge of the table, and sat down.
Yun Dani followed Yun Xiu in a daze and shouted Sixth Master. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, such a handsome man. I couldn't help frowning and wondering, this man has a family and a business, and he doesn't look like he can't please his wife, why did he kidnap Yunxiu?
"You're Yunxiu's eldest sister, right?" Gu Liu asked.
Yun Dani nodded and hummed softly.
"That's good, since someone from Yunxiu's family is here, why don't you settle the money you two owe and take your Yunxiu back?" Reaching out and touching the abacus, it crackled and plucked.
Gu Liu's abacus was fast, his fingers were placed there like an eight-legged spider, and he calculated the account without looking at it.
"Yunxiu owes me money for melons, money for my meals, and a bowl that was broken last night, and these two clean clothes on her and yours. The total is twenty-six taels and one dollars. β
He handed the abacus to Yun Dani so that she could take a closer look.
Yun Dani is as blind as Yun Xiu, except for the stars on the pole that can be understood, nothing else.
Abacus, she has only seen Master Huang play in the study at night with the account book, but Master Huang cocked his orchid fingers, held the small teapot, glanced at the account book and dialed it slowly, for fear that he would miscalculate, and he would compare it again and again.
It was the first time she had seen it so quickly.
What's more, this twenty-six taels and one coin, this amount is so big, Yun Dani suspects that some of them are made up casually by the sixth master in front of her.
"I'm afraid you want to be blind, so you casually made up a number to lie to us." Before she could open her mouth to question, Yun Xiu said what was in her heart.
Yun Xiu took the abacus, only to see that the abacus beads were up and down, and the words twenty-six taels and one money were not written on it.
"Humph! The master's abacus was learned from the general ledger room of Xun Yinzhai jewelry shop, and the hundreds of thousands of account books were not missed. Can you miscalculate your twenty taels? β
Regarding the technical strength of the abacus, how could Gu Liu be slandered, otherwise he would have no face to see his teacher when he returned to the capital in the future.
Xun Yinzhai Yunxiu knew that there was a shop next to the big willow tree in the west corner of the town, and I heard that it was the shop of the 100th branch.
Don't look at the branches of the people are lined up to more than 100 numbers, but it is the most luxurious and luxurious shop in the town, the courtyard of the three entrances is larger than some rich families, and the big customers are invited to enter the inner courtyard to watch, and there is a special silversmith one-to-one service that needs to be customized.
The faΓ§ade archway is cleaned spotlessly every day, and the eight immortals are carefully carved on the Nanmu signboard, and a store that sells jewelry is so expensive that Yunxiu does not dare to enter.
I heard that a red head rope inside is embroidered with gold thread.
Her red head rope is two meters with the grocer on the street, and she thinks it is expensive for a penny, and she can't think of the head rope of the show gold thread.
Seeing that Gu Liu said that there is a name and a surname, it is not like lying. But more than twenty taels, it may not be enough to package and sell her and Yunxiu.
Yun Dani sat there clasping her fingers, uneasy, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Yun Xiu thought simply: "Twenty-six taels is twenty-six taels, I'll just work for you." You pay me monthly. As long as I work a lot, there will always be a time to pay it off. β
Anyway, she didn't want to go home, she was afraid that Erniang would let her marry the old man Huang who could be her grandfather.
She was even more afraid of running into her aunt again, after all, as long as that incident was said, no matter who was right or wrong, she would not be able to raise her head in the village for the rest of her life.
"How much do you work? You've eaten more. β
Remembering that she had brought two buckets of pigweed this morning, the little girl ate three meat buns the size of a palm, and Gu Liu calculated that she would have to pay for this girl's food in the future.
Gu Liu's mouth, a ghost who hurts people, in the past few days, Yun Xiu has already learned a lot about his ability to open his mouth and scare people.
Pretending not to listen to what Gu Liu said, he asked with a smile: "Sixth Master, how much salary are you going to give to the little one a month?" β
Gu Liu glanced at her, showed a broad smile, and stretched out three fingers.
"Three taels of silver! Sixth master, you are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva! β
"Are you afraid that you will break your head when you are full, let the lard paste your heart, and start to whimsical without turning your brain?" Gu Liu spoke in time to stop Yun Xiu's daydreaming.
