Chapter 598: Stepmother (8)

The woman took Qin Zhi to the door of the scholar's house and knocked on the door.

This time it was not a scholar who opened the door, but a woman wearing a cloth dress with a somewhat rough face.

"Sister-in-law Yu, you are ......"

Sister-in-law Yu, who came with Qin Gong, said with a smile: "This is the new eldest sister next door to you, she wants to find a helper to clean up the housework, one or two silver a month, Sister Jiang, do you want to do it?" ”

Qin Gong added: "One or two silver, including food and shelter." ”

Jiang Mu nodded: "I want it." ”

Sister-in-law Yu grinned: "Then you chat, I have to go back to see the child." ”

After Sister-in-law Yu left, Mother Jiang invited Qin Gong into the house and poured her a glass of water: "I don't have tea here, don't dislike it, girl." ”

"You're polite," Qin Gong didn't know how to call her for a while, let's call her aunt, calling herself old, and it is not appropriate to be commensurate with her peers, "My yard is not big, you just need to cook for me and my two children every day, wash clothes, and sweep the floor, which can be swept again in a few days." ”

Jiang Mu nodded again and again.

The food and clothes of the three people are not tired at all, not to mention that there is a tael of silver a month, she goes around looking for other people's clothes to help wash, and she has to wash a lot of clothes every day, and one or two silver has to save for a small half a year.

"You can eat with us three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner."

"Mother."

A scholar walked in suddenly, and then saw a guest, and hurriedly saluted: "It's rude." ”

There were almost no guests at home at home, and he didn't expect it...... Now, it's abrupt.

Qin Gong's eyes narrowed, staring at the white jade flute hanging from his waist, and asked, "Mr. understands the rhythm of music?" ”

He bowed his head: "I know a little bit about it." ”

"Is the gentleman good?" She asked again.

Jiang's mother said proudly: "My son is a talent. ”

Qin Zhi said sincerely: "Sir, would you like to be my son's enlightenment gentleman?" Teach him music in your spare time? Ten taels of silver per month, including food and shelter. ”

Mother Jiang's eyes widened.

Jiang Yihuai was also a little surprised, and shook his head slightly: "But enlightenment, you don't need ten taels." ”

"It's ten taels, if Mr. doesn't want to, I have to find someone else."

“……”

The Jiang family is now short of money.

Jiang's mother said: "Willing, my son is willing!" ”

Jiang Yihuai frowned slightly, but still nodded: "I will definitely teach your son with my heart." ”

"That's good, my name is Qin Gong, the two children will come over tomorrow morning to make introductions, my son is eight years old, and my daughter is four years old."

Qin Gong got up and smiled,

"Tomorrow you two will come over for dinner together."

Without waiting for them to answer, she turned and walked away.

Mother Jiang sent her to the door, and then came back and said: "I heard her mention the child, but I didn't mention her husband......

"There must be a secret, mother, she came to you earlier to tell you about asking me to be a husband for her child?"

"No, she's here to find a helper, cook and do laundry."

"Mother......

"It's right next to home, it's better than my mother going to someone else to wash dirty clothes on the streets."

He lowered his eyes: "It's the child's incompetence." ”

"Silly child," Jiang's mother looked kind, "You copy books and sell paintings, you are raising this family, not to mention that you have to prepare for the township test, my mother doesn't want you to be tired alone." ”

……

Qin Gong returned home in a good mood, and in the face of the two children, he smiled knowingly: "My mother has invited a gentleman for you, and he will come tomorrow, you have to behave well." ”

"Mother, are we going to study?"

"Do you want Lili too?"

"You all want it, you stay at home obediently, my mother will buy you a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, by the way," she beckoned to Han Doudou and took out ten taels of silver, "Doudou, you take this to Aunt Jiang of the family on the left, just say that this is the future food money, tell her what you want to eat, let her buy it for you, if she says that there is more money, you will say that this is not a day or two days, but in the future, when she runs out and then come to her mother to ask for it, remember?" ”

"Remembered."
