It turned out that this Sun family was doing rough work in Ni Huai's house in the Ministry of Langzhong, and when he was sweeping the courtyard one day, he heard the big girl Jin Feng standing on the porch with her mother-in-law muttering, Zhao Zhengchun, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, wanted to recruit three or four embroidery girls, and there was no need to do the old tooth people to recommend, only word of mouth to find some people who knew the roots, and Qia Jinfeng's cousin was in charge in the Shangshu Mansion, because this woman had a sixteen-year-old girl, who said that she was good at needlework, so she came to ask Jin Feng for introduction.

  Jin Feng told her with a smile: "You said that you don't have to do the number of needlework, you have to try embroidery when you go, they said that it is good, and there is no need for me to introduce you, so you will go to his door and wait for it that day." He told him the details of the time and the location of the gate.

  At this time, seeing that Xiao Yuan couldn't find a job, he sympathized with her heart, so he told her word for word.

  Xiao Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked herself.

  That night, she steamed the remaining half of the wind fish in a basket, fried two plates of vegetables and vegetables, heated the leftover chicken soup from yesterday, steamed the fragrant japonica rice, and the three siblings happily gathered around the table for dinner.

  Halfway through the meal, someone knocked on the door, and heard a mother-in-law's voice asking, "Is it Mrs. Xiao who lives here?" ”

  Uncle Zhao went home, Xiao Yan got up and walked to the door and asked, "Who are you?" The mother-in-law said: "I am Jiang Po, the tooth man at the entrance of the front street, and Mrs. Xiao must recognize me." ”

  "You wait." Xiao Yun told Xiao Yuan back, Xiao Yuan was slightly impressed, and secretly wondered what she was doing, so she let her in, and Xiao Yun went to open the door.

  "It's a bad time, you're eating." Jiang Po put the gift in her hand on a few tables, a jar of Jinhua wine, a bag of rice, a bag of green dates, and two salted and whitish salted hooves.

  Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "This is precious, where is it easy to collect, and I will take it back when my mother-in-law leaves." He beckoned her to sit down for tea.

  Xiao Yun had finished his meal, and he didn't leave, but only took the book close to the lamp and looked through it carefully.

  Jiang Po looked at Xiao Yuan and picked up all the thorns of the fish and fed them to Sister Rong, and asked pretendedly, "Has Mrs. Xiao found a job?" ”

  Xiao Yuan glanced at her and remained silent: "I go every day, Jiang Po is there every day, don't you know if you find a job?" ”

  Jiang Po hurriedly smiled: "No wonder we don't have a way for you, if you want to blame, it's hot and cold in this world, the big families in the official government are only unable to enter and exit now, and it is very difficult for us to do it." ”

  "Really?!" Xiao Yuan was noncommittal, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains on Sister Rong'er's mouth, Sister Rong was full, and picked up a pair of fish bones to feed the big civet cat lying in the corner.

  Jiang Po secretly observed that her face was not abnormal, so she sighed and said: "There is a good saying, the falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers." ”

  Xiao Yuan laughed when she heard it: "You have no head and no brain, you suddenly come out, people are so confused." ”

  "Mrs. Xiao is not confused." Jiang Po said: "You are deliberately pretending to be stupid!" ”

  "When did that start?"

  Jiang Po continued: "I told you earlier that Wang Ti's family wanted to find someone around him, but you refused to go, but now I brought a similar girl to his eldest lady to see, disgusted with the thick knuckles of the fingers, and asked me earlier that there was a Xiao Niangzi who had a good rice flower, why didn't she bring it to her for a long time?" I'll just say that Mrs. Xiao has a problem. What's the difficulty, she asked? I said that she had a brother who was going to take the imperial examination, a little sister of four or five years old, and when she had to take care of her, she was only willing to do the work of the hour, and she would have to return home at night. ”
