If Hong raised her eyes and looked at her unkindly, couldn't this girl forget?

Peony was a little frightened by Ruohong, shrunk her neck, and said, "If you don't understand, you have to ask if this is what the eldest lady said, the slave just doesn't understand!" ”

At this time, three servant women came in with food boxes.

Lian Xin sent the maids who were waiting for the washing, and went to watch them put their meals on the side.

Ruohong stood up and pulled Ruoxue to the table, and said to Peony, "Did you see them bring food in?" That's the work, their work. Sister Peony, you were just serving me and my sister to wash up and you were working. ”

"So the slave and maid will know, the slave and maid are working when they serve tea and water to the young ladies, and the eldest lady is also working when she looks at the account books." Peony said.

"yes, that's it."

After eating, they all cleaned up, and Peony and Ruoxue returned to some things, "After the ladies went out, the second lady asked people to send six taels of bird's nest, as well as two plain cloud brocades, saying that it was to compensate the third miss, and she didn't mean to beat the third miss, and asked the third miss not to hate her." She said.

If you blink your eyes and don't answer this question, it's hard to say whether it's intentional or not, and you won't know until a while.

She still feels that house fighting is risky, and she needs to be cautious, in case she is not careful, she will be trapped.

Ruoxue said, "Got it." ”

Peony continued: Aunt Zhou asked people to say that she wanted to eat Yipinzhai's crispy egg rolls, and the slave sent someone to buy them, but they had already sold them out, so they bought two other pastries back, and Aunt Zhou was a little unhappy......"

"She trained you?" Ruohong asked.

Peony smiled and said, "That's not true, I don't think it's a big deal, I'll tell the two young ladies." ”

"Tomorrow, let someone go and buy it early and send it to my aunt." Ruoxue said.

"The slave maid also thinks the same, seeing that the aunt wants to eat very much, the slave maid wants to let someone buy it early tomorrow and send it over." Peony said.

Ruoxue hugged the white cat, pacing slowly back and forth on the ground, eating late, and eating a little too much, walking around to eliminate food.

She said a few other snacks, such as wishing the bean curd of the eldest lady's family and the butter sugar cake of the Ji family, and let them buy them together and send them to Aunt Zhou.

Peony responded, and said: "Also, Deng Hu sent the building blocks that the eldest lady asked someone to make and put them in the third lady's room." And the ones that were made by the first ones were also sent back. ”

"Which one is Deng Hu?" Ruohong asked.

"It's the guy who went to Maoshan with us! Miss Touli asked her to find a reliable person to make the wooden blocks that Miss Third asked for, and Lianxin saw him when she arrived in the outer courtyard, so she handed over the matter to him. Peony smiled and said, "Later, the eldest lady wanted to make a lot of wooden blocks like that, and she also asked him to go out and find a place to make them." ”

"Oh!"

Ruohong couldn't remember who the family Ding that Peony was talking about, after she woke up, she hadn't spoken to those guards, there were hundreds of people in the family, and she couldn't know all of them!

"Did he say anything?" Ruoxue said.

Ruoxue remembered that the family had seen him a few times when he was in Maoshan, and on the way back, he sent him home in advance to report the news.

"He did have something to say to the slave maid and the eldest lady, and he said that he had made five hundred and forty-three boxes, each with thirty-six yuan, and he didn't know whether he was going to send it to the house or to another place." Peony said.

"Let's go and have a look."

Ruohong said and pulled Ruoxue and went to the west wing house where she lived, where the orange pomegranate was laying out the bedding for sleeping, and there was a maid cutting the candle heart that was too long.

Ruohong entered the house and asked, "Where are the building blocks?" ”

"Here it is." Pomegranate walked to the side and picked up a small mahogany box from Duobao Pavilion, which was more than a foot long (33 cm), six or seven inches high (about 23 cm), and more than seven inches wide.

"The slave heard that someone had sent some building blocks, and guessed that it was the one that the young lady asked her to go outside to make, so she took it and put it on this grid." She said.

Pomegranate put the box on the table and took out the key from her purse, "The key was brought in with the box, and the young lady will keep it for you first when the slave is not there," and as she spoke, she opened a small copper lock on it and lifted the lid.

Ruohong sat down and poured the wooden blocks in the box on the table, there was a crisp sound, she took a few pieces and looked at them, the two-inch wooden blocks, with a layer of jujube red lacquer, and a layer of wax on them, looked very smooth, and it was very comfortable to touch, but there was a little less hardness of wood.

This box of building blocks is much better than the samples made by Ruoxue, and it is different and more detailed in terms of feel.

"Sister, let's come and play together." She said.

Ruoxue was standing not far away, and when she saw that she was going to build a house, she said, "Aren't you sleeping?" ”

"It's only nine o'clock, ......" Ruohong covered her mouth, turned her little head and looked around, and saw that several people were stunned by her action, and then they all laughed again.

Said that he leaked his mouth again.

Ruoxue played with her for a while, told her to go to bed early, and went back to the east wing where she lived, she still had some things to deal with.

In the early morning of the next day, Ruoxue was in the big study in the front yard, and saw the family named Deng Hu, Ruohong was sitting in the guest seat next to her, and seven or eight maids of Lianxin Dantang were scattered and standing in all directions.

Deng Hu came in with his head down, his eyes looked at the three feet in front of his feet, bowed down and said, "Little Deng Hu greets the eldest lady and the third lady!" ”

"Well, get up and talk." Ruoxue said.

Deng Hu stood up straight, his eyes and nose and nose did not dare to look around, waiting for the two young ladies to ask.

After he returned to the house, he still looked at the door and cleaned the courtyard in the outer courtyard. That day, he was clearing the snow in the outer yard, and he didn't see Lianxin walking by, and as soon as he passed by with a broom, Lianxin was covered in snow.

Lian Xin slapped the heavy snow on her body, and reprimanded him, and after the reprimand, she remembered that she still had something to do, so she took two steps forward quickly, and then retreated, staring at him up and down for two times.

"The eldest lady has something to find someone to do, so I'll leave it to you." Lian Xin said and gave him the drawings and asked him to find someone outside the mansion to make them.

Lian Xin wanted to embarrass him, but he didn't expect that two days later, he would send back twenty-four building blocks.

Later, the second time he carved doors and windows on the building blocks, and various patterns, he also handed them over to find someone to do.

After two times, Deng Hu did very well, and the third time, Lianxin directly told Ruoxue that Ruoxue saw him and asked him about the situation at home, and then asked him if he wanted to do an errand.

Deng Hu did not hesitate to say that he wanted to do things, although he was not very good at doing things, but he would study seriously, and he would definitely do the things that the eldest lady gave him a good time.

Ruoxue saw resoluteness and unyielding in his eyes, and she turned her head and asked Lian Xin to take a pair of cards for him, so that he could go to the account office to withdraw the money.

Deng Hu held the building block samples and two drawings handed over to him by Lian Xin, and watched them make those building blocks in the wood carving workshop of the Mei family in Jinling City, eating and sleeping with the craftsmen.

After two months of production, more than 500 boxes were made, and he sent one box into the house yesterday and handed it over to the servant woman of the second courtyard, so that she could send it to the courtyard of the eldest lady.

Ruoxue took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me how you did your errand." ”

Deng Hu chuckled in his heart, is it because things haven't been done? No, you can't! The workmanship is done according to the drawings, and there will be no mistakes. He had spent several nights on his own, dividing them from the big boxes into the small ones, and there was no way he could go wrong.

Deng Huzi stabilized his mind, bowed down and said, "The little ones didn't do anything, they just watched them do it in the workshop,......

The craftsmen in the workshop, each performing their duties, only make the wooden blocks into small pieces, pick the grooves to do the grooves, and only do the carving of doors and windows, the division of labor is clear, and the speed and quality are much faster.

Deng Hu put the finished and semi-finished products in several large boxes, opened them during the day, and at night, he put all the finished and semi-finished products into the boxes and locked them with big locks.

He paused, and then said, "The pieces are made of sequoia wood, and the size is all according to the dimensions on the drawings, and I have carefully examined them before packing them into small boxes." ”

Ruohong looked at him with a smile, "Well done, it's tight, this reward for you." As she spoke, she raised her hand and threw a palm-sized wooden plaque.

This is after playing with building blocks yesterday, Ruohong praised two sentences for doing a good job, you can continue to make more blocks like this, and I guarantee that there will be many young masters and young ladies who like to play.

Ruoxue said that she wanted to reward Deng Hu as a small steward, who was in charge of making building blocks.

Deng Huzi caught the wooden sign with both hands, and his face was very surprised when he saw it, and he looked at it two or three times, with the word "Mei" engraved on one side, and his name on the other side.

He had seen that the stewards of the house had this little thing, and with this small wooden card, he could get two taels of silver every month, and he could also call the people in the house.

"Thank you, Miss Three, for the reward!" He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Ruohong giggled and said, "This is not what I rewarded you, it was my sister who rewarded you!" ”

Deng Hu kowtowed to Ruoxue again, "Thank you for the eldest lady's reward for the small one's meal, the little one must do the errand given by the eldest lady." He said.

"Get up. Where are the bricks? Ruoxue asked.

Deng Hu stood up and bowed slightly, "The small one put the five hundred and forty-two boxes in the warehouse of the Mei family on Pingyang Street." He said.

"Well done." Ruoxue covered the lid of the tea cup and put it on a small table aside, "You have to keep the two drawings, and the work of making the building blocks will be handed over to you, and you will continue to let people continue to do it." Let's make it from redwood, it looks good.

Remember, you can't cut corners and shoddy, you have to ensure quality. On the third day of each month, I will have people pick up the finished ones, and you have to pack them before the third day of junior high school. She said.

"Yes. The small ones were written down. He said.

Deng Hu hesitated for a moment and said: "The small one thinks that the workshop should be moved to Zhuangzi, the workshop and shop space in the city is limited, and the production personnel cannot be expanded, so it cannot be made faster, and the quantity cannot be increased." ”

"Since you think so, then give you the Dawangzhuang outside the city to make building blocks, move the workshop there, and you must have a number of people and property in your heart." Ruoxue said.

She is not afraid that the people below will have ideas, but she is afraid that they will not speak out if they have ideas, and when the time comes, they will blame the owner if they make a mistake, saying that the owner is not wise enough.

"Yes, the little one will do things carefully, and he will never let down the eldest lady!" Deng Hu bowed down and said.

"Pomegranate, give him the drawings." Ruohong looked at Deng Hu and said, "This is a doll with building blocks, just put three in a box." ”

When Ruohong started playing yesterday, she felt that something was missing, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that two or three dolls were missing.

Ruohong had already laid down, got dressed and got up and drew it overnight, so that the pomegranate could be brought on her body.

Pomegranate took out the paper from her purse, walked over and handed it to him, "Put it away, this is drawn by the third lady who didn't sleep at night, don't lose it." She said.

"Yes...... Be! ”

Deng Hu replied repeatedly, looked at the pomegranate twice, the scratches on the pomegranate's face had scabbed, and he didn't use a puff, which looked particularly eye-catching.

He took the paper and unfolded it, and it was a doll about an inch high, with a round head and a square body, without legs, feet and arms, which looked a little weird.

"The small ones will be carefully collected." As he spoke, Deng Hu folded the paper and put it in the placket.

Ruohong was amused by Pomegranate's words, this little girl usually rarely talks, today she didn't sleep well at night, and she was angry with her master!

"Go to the bookkeeper and pay ten taels of silver as a reward for this errand." Ruoxue said.

Deng Hu bowed down and thanked Ruoxue for the reward, took two steps back, turned around and walked out.

"Those more than 500 boxes, where is my sister going to sell them, and how much is a box to sell?" Ruohong asked.

Ruoxue stood up and walked two or three steps, stood still, turned to look at Ruohong, and said, "I think about selling those building blocks to the capital first and selling them to the children of those noble families."

In this way, it can also be sold more expensive, and only these can be sold at a high price, and the price of what is made and imitated in the future will not be higher than these. ”

Ruoxue walked up to Ruohong, looked at her and said, "Sister, how high is the price?" ”

"It's eighty-eight, Fa Fa Fa Fa! Hahaha......" Ruohong said with a smile.

Today, Mei Zhiyuan and Mei Zhigao did not go to the school, but accompanied Ruoxue to sit in Jiutong Wealth, and in the evening, the inventory went out more than 700,000 taels of silver.

Ruoxue asked the guy to persuade the guests behind him with good words, saying that he was going to close the door and take inventory, and handle the exchange for them early tomorrow morning.

After the guests left, they went up to the door panel and added latches, ate their supper hastily, and began to reconcile the day's expenditure accounts.

Halfway through the check, an old bookkeeper said "huh".

"What's wrong?" Wei Quanbao stopped the Tai Chi ball in his hand and asked.

The old account room walked up to Wei Quanbao with two ticket stubs, "Old Wei, look at these two, why don't I look like the tickets we issued." ”

Wei Quan stood up suddenly, reached out and grabbed the two ticket stubs, approached the lamp to take a closer look, one of his hands was unstable, and the white jade Taiji ball in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and shattering into three or four petals.

"Someone cheated money ......"

Ruoxue also got up suddenly, took two steps and stretched out her hand to take out one to see, took the other one and looked at it twice, and threw it on the table in a dejected manner.
