However, Aunt Wei has been in the workshop for so long, she should know some recipes, but she can't get close to Ruan Xiaoman, she can also learn something useful from Aunt Wei, Wei Yumei thought of this, and became more and more flattering to Aunt Wei.
However, the two chatted for a while, and Aunt Wei saw that she was in the dust all the way, so she asked her to go down and wash up first, and the clothes could only be worn first.
This request was not excessive, Wei Yumei had to go down with the maid to wash and change clothes first.
It's just that this woman is wearing a maid's costume, but she is combing the woman's hair bun, which looks a little strange, and it is not pleasing to the eye when you look left and right.
After Wei Yumei finished washing and changing her clothes, Aunt Wei took her hand and asked her about her family carefully.
Wei Yumei talked about them one by one, she was the oldest at home, but she couldn't get extra favor, and she didn't even live as a maid.
There were originally three elder brothers above, but the second and third brothers died one after another, and the eldest brother was not close to her, and after marrying, he had no time to take care of her as a sister.
Aunt Wei sighed, not wanting to listen to those bad things anymore.
"Auntie, if I had half of your ability, I wouldn't have ended up like this, but it's a pity that I didn't know that my aunt was close at hand when I was in Qingyang, and I worked hard for three years, and I didn't even have someone to say what I thought." Wei Yumei couldn't help but want to cry as she spoke.
"It's hard to say whether the ability is good or bad, it's true that you can learn something to support yourself." Aunt Wei sighed.
Her little ability is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Sun family, what gives her glory is that ability, and what gives her the scourge is also that ability, after all, there are too many intrigues among high-ranking families.
Now there are only two masters in this Lu Mansion, there are not so many bad things, she is happy and pure.
In the Sun family, Aunt Wei couldn't help but ask Wei Yumei, "Where did you find out that I was here?" ”
"Auntie, after I returned to my parents' house, my brother and sister-in-law disliked me for eating the family's food for nothing, and asked me to sell myself as a slave like you did to pay for the meal, and I left the house in anger.
At that time, I didn't even have a place to go, so I wanted to look for you, but you were not in the Sun family, I asked around for your news, and then I met a person who came out of Furong Fang, she said that there was a Wei aunt in the workshop, so I came to try my luck, fortunately, it was really Aunt You. Wei Yumei wiped her tears, and barely had a smile on her face.
"Let's stay here for the time being, do what the housekeeper tells you to do well, and go outside to see if there is a suitable job when you have time, I can't be the master." Aunt Wei sighed, but she still couldn't bear it.
"But I think that young lady seems to value you a lot?" Wei Yumei hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"The young lady is just keeping her promises, and she doesn't value it." Aunt Wei looked at Wei Yumei unabashedly and said lightly.
Wei Yumei was stunned for a moment, she didn't dare to say anything more, and was busy picking other things to talk about.
And after Ruan Xiaoman and Zhu Qiao left, Zhu Qiao was a little suspicious that Wei Yumei's origin was unknown.
"The origin is unknown, so put it under your nose and stare carefully, so that she doesn't know what to do outside." Ruan Xiaoman said disappreciatively.
said that she was displaced, but she had been watching Wei Yumei eat and drink for at least a while, and as for the rest, after a long time, she would always show her feet.
She doesn't know how to raise idlers, as for Aunt Wei wanting to raise her niece, that's her business.
Zhu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything more, it turned out that the master had already thought of this.
Ruan Xiaoman's mind was not much on Wei Yumei, and the affairs of the business bank were going well, she only needed to keep an eye on the accounts.
She had carefully studied the accounts on Fuyuan's side, and if the harvest was good in a year, there would be an income of nearly 5,000 silver.
If they can take the line of sea transportation, this income will have to be at least doubled, but I don't know if that person will look down on this bit of silver.
"Young lady, there is nothing wrong with this account, right?" Mo Lu saw Ruan Xiaoman thoughtfully, and asked cautiously, he just went through the slips or something, there shouldn't be a problem.
"No, well done, if nothing else does, I'll go back first." Ruan Xiaoman said to Mo Lu.
Now that there is a special bookkeeper in the business bank to manage the accounts, she is still used to reading it carefully by herself.
"Nope." Mo Lu shook his head.
At this time, Lu Yuanfeng was still in Linfeng, and the new tea was on the market, he was staring at the final steps, and he had to leave tomorrow and go directly to Qingyang.
I don't know if I can meet Ruan Xiaoman, will she wait for herself like Ruan Xiaoji?
This possibility is very low, Lu Yuanfeng couldn't help laughing, he was indeed envious of Ruan Xiaoji, someone took him to heart.
The letter had already been written and put in a brocade box, I hope Lord Chu can see the letter, and the rest of the things are not up to him.
And although Zhu Lin said that he was very confident in his tea art, he didn't know if the other party was a person who understood tea, so he didn't dare to say it too satisfactorily, and he couldn't comfort Lu Yuanfeng, so he could only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
Late at night, Lu Yuanfeng saw that the lights behind him had gone out three times, so he turned around and entered the room.
It's June, and a letter from Ruan Xiaoji was rushed to Ruan Xiaoman.
Ruan Xiaoji was admitted to Xiucai, but he didn't do well in the exam, and only took the exam for an increase.
The autumn festival was held two years later, and he planned to continue his studies in Jibei.
The autumn festival was held in Leizhou, and there were not many people in Qingyang who took the imperial examination, so it was incorporated into Leizhou.
Ji Bei is not too far from Leizhou, Ruan Xiaoman held the letter tightly, and was even happier than if he had passed the exam.
"Ruan Gongzi was admitted to Xiucai?" Zhu Qiao saw that the smile on Ruan Xiaoman's face was getting brighter and brighter, so he was naturally happy and asked with a smile.
"Well, I got in." Ruan Xiaoman was stupid for a moment, and then folded it again and put it away.
"Congratulations to the young lady, congratulations to the young lady." Zhu Qiao smiled.
"Look at your sweet mouth, go back and receive the reward, there will be a reward." Ruan Xiaoman decided to be generous, "I want to write a letter to him." ”
"Thank you, young lady." Zhu Qiao grinned and hurriedly responded.
Zhu Qiao brought paper and pen to Ruan Xiaoman, and studied ink on the side.
Ruan Xiaoman held the pen, but he was so excited that he didn't know what to write.
"Young lady, young master, he's back." Mo Lu said aloud outside.
Coming back?
Came back just in time.
Ruan Xiaoman put down the pen excitedly and walked out quickly, smiling without stopping.
"Young lady." Zhu Qiao saw the splashed ink and hurriedly followed.
"You're back, Xiao Ji sent a letter from him, saying that he was admitted to Xiucai." Ruan Xiaoman said excitedly.
"Oh." Lu Yuanfeng only replied lightly, it turned out that her smile was not because he was back.
"Look at you're sloppy." Lu Yuanfeng stretched out his hand and wiped it on her lips, and his fingertips were full of ink marks.
"I was just about to reply, but I hadn't thought about what to write. By the way, how long will you be back this time? Ruan Xiaoman calmed down for a moment, and then asked.
