Chapter 124: Doing as the Locals Follow
"That's what you should do for the Son of Man, my own Lao Tzu Niang is not filial yet, and I don't have time to do my filial piety for you." Duan Yulang stood up suddenly, interrupted Ouyang Xun's words, suppressed his anger and said coldly: "I have no right to interfere with your choice, I only hope that we will not become enemies, otherwise we will ......"
Although his voice was indifferent, Duan Yulang didn't say anything cruel in the end.
The love for many years is cherished by Duan Yulang, otherwise he would not have visited late at night.
After the door was slammed, Ouyang Xun leaned against the wall with a tired face and slowly closed his eyes.
"I don't want to do this either, but this is my mission, and as long as I still have a breath, I will do my best to complete it." Ouyang Xun muttered to himself in a low voice: "I also want to be brothers with you for life, and I don't care about those troubles, but ...... This is fate, and none of us can fight it. ”
With a 'click', the wine glass was crushed by Ouyang Xun, the fragments pierced his fingers, and the fruit wine and blood mixed and flowed on the kang mat, but Ouyang Xun didn't realize it.
I was busy all day, and I thoroughly explained the things in the workshop.
After making sure that each steward had clarified his responsibilities, Bai Ling withdrew and handed over the rest of the things to Bai Sanshu to keep an eye on.
The workshop is to be left to the family to do the ancestral business, even if Bai Xiaoshan will take the career in the future, it is very important to have a profitable livelihood, and it can also prevent Bai Sanshu and his family from getting old.
As for the craftsmanship of tofu and tempeh, Bai Ling gave Bai Wei and Bai Xing respectively, and used them as their dowry in the future.
For women in this era, the dowry is more or less directly linked to the status of her husband's family, and Bai Ling wants to give her sisters better.
However, the new house was built big, and the old house was enclosed and used as a workshop for Bai Wei and Bai Xing.
It's just that these businesses of Sanfang have been monopolized by Duan Yulang, so they have to go out to find buyers.
"Eldest sister, didn't I tell you, don't do embroidery anymore when it's dark, it hurts your eyes." Bai Ling had just finished bathing and saw that the light was on in Bai Cao's room, so he came over to take a look.
"The last time Miss Xiao came to the house, she saw my embroidered backpack and thought it looked good, so she asked me to embroider one for her. I guessed that Miss Xiao was coming soon, so I thought about hurrying up and giving it to her. Bai Cao smiled lightly, but the needlework in his hands did not stop.
Looking at the flowers embroidered by the white grass, just like the real thing, Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The eldest sister's embroidery is really good, it is the best I have ever seen." ”
"In fact, my grandmother's embroidery work is really good, and my mother also has the true inheritance of my grandmother. However, after my mother married my father, I had endless work to do every day, and I hadn't embroidered for many years. If I hadn't lived at my grandmother's house for two years, I guess my mother wouldn't have had time to teach me so carefully. Bai Cao said softly.
Bai Ling didn't know that Bai Liu's had a good embroiderer, after all, she hadn't seen Bai Liu's embroidery, and the original owner didn't have any memory of this.
I have been thinking about making a fortune for Bai Cao, and when I see Bai Cao's embroiderer, Bai Ling has an idea in his heart.
"Eldest sister, if you open an embroidery workshop, you will definitely be able to sell well." Bai Ling took the satchel on the kang cabinet, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Bai Cao's hand and said, "Sister, how about you open an embroidery village?" Let's hire a few embroidery girls when we go back, and you can guide their embroiderers, so you don't have to worry about bad business. ”
"What? Open an embroidery village? Bai Cao grew her mouth in surprise, shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I am a divorced woman, how can I show my head!" If people knew about it, they might not be able to spread some nonsense. ”
"Who said you have to show up when you do business?" Bai Ling covered his mouth and smiled: "Leave this matter to me, I will learn it when I go back, and then I will put down the shop, and the eldest sister will wait to be the boss lady." When the time comes, hire a shopkeeper, and the eldest sister will watch the embroidery girl work at home, waiting to count the silver. ”
"How much silver does that cost? No, let me embroider and embroider, I'm not a businessman. In the past, I wanted to be an embroidery girl, and I also went to the town to inquire, just the salary of the embroidery girl, a penny of silver a month, and I had to provide food and shelter. Coupled with the money for those embroidery threads and fabrics, I'm afraid that I will lose money if I don't do it well. Bai Cao still shook his head, "Don't mention this matter again, the eldest sister doesn't have the brains of a few of you, so she can't do big things." ”
"I said okay, even if the eldest sister doesn't believe in herself, can't she believe me? Our family tossed so many things, when did we lose money? Bai Ling made up his mind to seek a future for Bai Cao.
Even if Bai Cao really doesn't want to get married, he has the ability to make a living, and he has something to rely on when he gets old, right?
What's more, Bai Cao is still young, and he will remarry when he meets the right person, this dowry must not be shabby compared to other sisters, this is the dignity given by his mother's family.
After not persuading Bai Cao again, and after saying a few more words, Bai Ling got up and left, keeping this matter in mind, and even more wanted to find his grandfather's house.
It's not because of my grandmother's embroidery skills, but because my grandfather's family once took care of Sanfang, such relatives are suitable for exchanges, and they are also full of Bailiu's thoughts.
The workshop started as scheduled, and the three rooms, except for Bai Xing and Bai Xiaoshan, who stayed to watch the house, went there to teach the villagers how to make Songhua eggs.
Of course, Bai Ling often went to the space at night to be busy, and carved two seals with dark lines, and before Duan Yulang left, he went to the money bank to open a private account to facilitate future transactions.
Because the workshop is to be left to Bai Xiaoshan, Bai Ling's account only saves the dividends of the hot pot restaurant, and the rest is still traded with silver tickets.
"Bai Ling, your family's business is also on the right track, and the new house is so big, haven't you thought about buying a few people to help with things, or take care of the family's nursing home?" Before leaving, Duan Yulang kindly reminded: "Although there are not many horse bandits or anything now, it is difficult to ensure that your family is developed, and some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have." Your family lives far away from the village, and there are no strong men, so it is not safe in the end. ”
"Buying someone?" Bai Ling frowned, she really hadn't had such a thought.
After all, he is not the soul of this era, and Bai Ling is resistant to buying and selling human beings in his heart.
But Duan Yulang's words made Bai Ling ponder, whether she really should follow the local customs, after all, she will have to make bigger moves in the future.
"yes. When you sisters go out, it's always safer to have personal protection. Xiaoshan is also going to the school, and he can take care of it with a scholar. Besides, your family's current industry is no less than that of the landlord, so you can't have anything to do with your family's toss back and forth, right? Duan Yulang was not used to a rich life when he only thought of Bai Ling, and he didn't expect this, so he kindly explained it to her.
"Are you going to stay in town for two days, or are you going somewhere else?" Bai Ling pondered for a while and asked.
"I'll go to the county early in the morning." Duan Yulang said.
"I'll go home and discuss this, and if the family agrees, I'll go to the county seat with you tomorrow." Bai Ling took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.
Although Bai Ling still felt that buying someone made her feel uncomfortable, but in this era when the legal system was not perfect, letting people do many things was more reassuring than hiring people, and Bai Ling still understood this truth.
Even for the sake of his family, Bai Ling had to think carefully.
"Cheng, I'll wait for you to get to the end of the day." Duan Yulang replied.
