The next day, the weather was fine.

The embroidery girls lined up in the front yard early, waiting for Qu Xiaobai to come and assign tasks.

Qu Xiaobai got up and washed up, and told Chen An to go out to buy breakfast, thinking that he should hire two people, otherwise cooking every day would be too delayed.

She remembered that when Mu Nanyun brought someone to her yesterday, she said that the mother-in-law in the lead was a tooth woman, and she didn't let her go because she saw that the woman was clever, and now it seems that she is quite clever.

"Fool, I'll go to the front yard to find Yapo Zhang, you can play by yourself." She screamed mischievously and went to the front yard.

Ya Po was talking to the embroidery girls, and when she saw her walking over, she saluted from a distance, "Madame." ”

Qu Xiaobai and Ya Po explained their intentions, and asked her if she was willing to stay and be a steward by her side, that Ya Po was a widow, childless and daughterless, living alone in the troubled times, needless to say many hardships, listening to Qu Xiaobai was willing to take her in and let her be a housekeeper, she was full of joy and thanks.

Qu Xiaobai said: "Auntie, since you promised to stay, there are a few rules, I want to say in front." ”

"Madame, please speak."

From what he said, it can be seen that Zhang is a person who knows the rules very well.

"First, in my work, be honest and trustworthy, not deceitful and not betrayal; Second, just one word, diligence. For the time being, these are the two most basic things, and if there are other issues that need attention in the future, I will remind you. ”

Zhang said: "Madame, don't worry, the old slave has written it down." ”

Qu Xiaobai said again: "You are a tooth wife, you should have someone you know, go find a few people to help you, the rough mother-in-law wants one, and the little maid who serves the living also needs two, in addition, can you cook?" She considered whether to give Yang Ling a small servant, but thinking that Yang Ling had a special background and it was not appropriate for strangers to approach him, she gave up this idea.

Zhang said: "The old slave's cooking skills are reasonable. ”

"Okay, I'll leave the cooking at home to you for the time being, if you can't be busy in the future, find another cook."

Qu Xiaobai made proper arrangements, and it happened that Chen An bought it and came back early, and Zhang took it over early and said, "Madam, I will serve you and Lang Jun for breakfast." ”

Qu Xiaobai waved his hand, "You go and get busy first, let's just eat a little, no need to wait." ”

Qu Xiaobai took the morning and went straight back to the backyard.

The Zhang family had never seen such a down-to-earth master, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned. A voice behind him said: "In the end, it is a village woman in the countryside, who has no knowledge and no bearing." ”

Zhang Shi turned his head and glared at the woman who spoke, "Little Cui Niangzi, in the future, if you work in this mansion, you still have to take care of your mouth and correct your position, if you want to bully the master, you have to weigh your identity!" ”

"Yo, I've just been promoted to the lady in charge, and this is starting to show off your authority? Everyone does things for others, who is superior? Besides, the master also said, you can't bully people, is the lady in charge going to bully people? ”

Xiao Cui Niangzi retorted angrily.

Although Qu Xiaobai has gone far, her words are still vaguely in her ears, her footsteps have not stopped, and she turned behind the moon gate, this kind of thing is common wherever she goes, if she has to take care of everything, won't she be tired to death?

Whether Zhang can afford this position of steward depends on her ability. If she can't, it's better to let Xian go as soon as possible.

Back in the backyard, Yang Ling was waiting for breakfast in the room, he was already waiting impatiently, and when he saw her come in, he smiled and greeted her, "Hehe, rice." ”

The big actor Yang Gongzi is really good.

Qu Xiaobai entered the room and put the bun fritters on the table, "Eat, Yang Gongzi." ”

Yang Ling grabbed a bun and handed it to her, "You eat." "It's silly to sell one-handedly.

"Heh......" Qu Xiaobai really admired this big fool Yang to death.

But she didn't have time to pretend to be crazy and stupid with him, took the bun, ate a few bites in a hurry, ate another fritter, washed her hands and rinsed her mouth, indicating that she was full.

Yang Ling was used to her small amount of food, so he didn't force her to stuff rice.

She went to the wing room to get some fabric and went to the front yard.

In the workshop in the front yard, the embroidery girls were already sitting in their own positions, and the lady surnamed Cui was also among them, and she could see that she was unhappy and aggrieved.

If Qu Xiaobai didn't see it, he handed the fabric to Zhang's hand, and said: "If I don't start the formal work today, I want to see how everyone's embroidery is, good at embroidery, lead a piece of silk, embroider your own good pattern, be good at sewing, lead a piece of satin, sew a sachet or something like that, I will come back before dinner to check." ”

"Madam, we are all old embroiderers, we have done it in Yunxiang Clothing Workshop before, do we still need to inspect the embroidery?"

It's that little Cui lady again.

Qu Xiaobai glanced at her lightly, "Yunxiang Yifang came out, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm the chief embroiderer of Yunxiang Clothing Workshop."

"Aunt Zhang, find out her deed and return it to her, from today onwards, this person will never be hired."

"Hey, you can't be unreasonable if you're the owner, my craftsmanship is the top in this, why don't you use me? Besides, I spent a lot of money to dig it up! Cui Niangzi stood up and shouted loudly.

"Mu Nanyun invited, you can go to Mu Nanyun, the craftsmanship is top, and I am not uncommon. I am the proprietor, and my words are reasonable, and from today onwards, if anyone does not want to do it, he will redeem the deed with silver. She saw that Zhang had found the deed, so she took it from her hand and walked to Cui Niangzi's side.

slapped the deed in front of her, and sneered: "Your deed, you don't need to redeem it with silver, I'll give it to you for free." From today onwards, get out of the gate of my Yang Mansion! ”

Cui Niangzi saw that she recognized the truth, and immediately coaxed, and said with a smile: "Madam, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, I embroider, can't I embroider?" ”

Qu Xiaobai had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "How can you do whatever you say?" So where do I put my boss's face? She raised her eyebrows, "Do you know what it means to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?" You, the chicken, I must kill today. ”

"You...... Don't deceive people too much! If you don't use it, you don't need it, why do you insult people! ”

"If you don't want to be insulted, get out of here!"

Cui Niangzi glared at Qu Xiaobai angrily, but in terms of momentum, it was obvious that she was pressed by Qu Xiaobai, "I...... I'll go to Mu Gongzi to reason! ”

"Yunli Lane Mufu, Nanping County, don't find the wrong door."

"You ......" Cui Niangzi was ashamed and angry, and finally ran away.

Qu Xiaobai didn't look at her back again, and after his eyes wandered in front of everyone, he said to Zhang: "These people are in your charge for the time being, and if something happens, you will bear it for me." If you can't afford it, tell me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." Zhang bowed.

Qu Xiaobai came out of the embroidery room, asked Chen An to set up the horse, called Yang Ling, and went back to Yangshutun together.

When I went to Yangshutun, I went directly to Zhao Yuan's house. When the people in the village saw the carriage entering the village, they had already surrounded it and blocked the door of Zhao Yuan's house tightly. There are several mothers-in-law, who surrounded Qu Xiaobai and asked if they needed manpower.

Qu Xiaobai was not very familiar with these people, and said euphemistically: "There is not so much work for the time being, and when I take on more work in the future, I will ask the neighbors to help." ”

When she first came to this world, she didn't hear much gossip from these people, and she endured it without retaliation, which was already her greatest kindness to this world, and it was impossible for her to repay her grievances with virtue.

How to repay virtue with virtue?

Those women were not without disappointment, many of them had already complained, and some said that they deserved her home to be burned, Qu Xiaobaili ignored them, and went straight to the door, Zhao Yuan just came back from fetching water, greeted her, and said, "Brother Yang Ling, Brother Xiaobai, did you settle down in the town last night?" ”

"It's settled. Brother Da Yuan, I have already calculated with Yan Shenpo yesterday, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, let's start construction tomorrow morning, you look at the arrangement of manpower. I won't go to Uncle Zhuzi's place, you just tell him. ”

"Is it in such a hurry?"

"It's just in time for the day, so let's follow the day. By the way, Brother Da Yuan, this is the firecracker that will be set off tomorrow, you store it in a safe place, don't put it with the cloth. ”

Qu Xiaobai commanded Yang Ling to take the firecrackers to Zhao Yuan, a large package of firecrackers, Zhao Yuan pressed his hands and neck, "So much." ”

Qu Xiaobai said with a smile: "Put more, and have a festive picture." ”

Zhao Yuan went to store the firecrackers, Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling entered the house, and the female workers in the room all stood up to say hello, Qu Xiaobai said: "Everyone don't have to be so polite, the neighbors, and my elders, are about to torment me." ”

Zhao Yuanjia said: "On private is a neighbor and relative, on the public, you are the owner, and it is appropriate to say hello, so don't be humble." By the way, yesterday's clothes, what did the customers say? ”

"Why didn't you say that?"

"What did you say?" Zhao Yuanjia's face was looking forward to it.

Qu Xiaobai deliberately pinched his emotions, which made Zhao Yuan's family worried, "Oh, you little daughter-in-law, tell me quickly!" ”

"People say it......" Qu Xiaobai deliberately prolonged his voice, causing everyone in the room to stretch their necks, "People say that your craftsmanship is good." We'll order clothes here from now on! ”

"God, you're going to scare me to death! This little daughter-in-law! Yang Zhuzi pinched her little thin arm.

"I'm here to bring you your wages. Sister-in-law Dayuan, you can look at it and send it for a while. Qu Xiaobai handed over a bag of copper plates to Zhao Yuan's family, "I'll go to Hongxia House to take a look first." ”

Yang Hongxia has already started to embroider and sell products, her embroidery skills are really good, Qu Xiaobai looked at her room for a while, only to feel that the patterns she embroidered were much more beautiful than what she saw in modern times.

She was naturally very satisfied, and when she went out, she took an embroidered cloth and planned to go back to make lace underwear to wear.

stayed at Zhao Yuan's house until almost noon, and she and Yang Ling took a basket of things they bought and went to Qu Dongzi's house.

I don't want to see Qu Dongzi in my heart, but I still have to do my filial piety for the original owner. What's more, Qu Xiaohei is still injured.

When I went to Qu Dongzi's house, I saw Qu Li's family, Qu Dongzi and Qu Xiaohei were not at home.
