Chapter 55, Promise, Refusal (1 more.)
Zhu Xiao straightened his waist, looked at Xun Muyang with his eyes, and said word by word, "Uncle Ayang, you said that you want me to cook in the morning, but there is no problem, I can even help you wash your clothes and clean the house, I will do all of this, but can I bring my eldest sister and third sister, our life at home is really difficult, we can't eat enough, we can't dress warmly, and we come to the mountains together, we also have a companion, even if it rains and snows, we are not afraid." Cook a good meal for you, we can dig up some herbs or something for money, and we can strengthen our courage in the mountains together! β
Xun Muyang took the spoon.
Faintly looked at the pattern on the spoon.
There are no lines, and a few strokes are lightly hooked, but this is from the Ru kiln, which is generally only used by tribute to the palace, or by the emperor's relatives, and the ordinary people don't say that it is used, I am afraid that they have never seen it.
"What about the second one?" Xun Muyang asked.
"Second, can you give us some wages, no matter how much you give!"
When Xun Muyang heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Xiao and smiled.
People who are already extremely good-looking, this will be draped in hair, and it is really charming.
There was a hint of banter and a hint of sarcasm in those narrow eyes.
Zhu Xiaoyao is really an ancient little girl, let alone straighten her waist, I am afraid that she will be dizzy for a long time, Xun Muyang will say whatever she wants, or kneel down directly, and dare not think about it anymore.
But she's not.
It's a silent contest.
Zhu Xiao knew that he was a little naΓ―ve, laundry, cooking, and cleaning up were not heavy jobs, they could eat well, but they were still greedy for money.
But don't want money, they will have no way out for the rest of their lives, which one doesn't need silver to do business? It costs money to buy a thick bowl, and it costs money to buy a handful of green onions.
She only has a few dozen dollars now, and she still owes Zhu Jinzhi money.
What she shoulders is not only to live by herself, nor just to live with Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer, but to live better with them, with backbone and dignity.
And all this is inseparable from money.
Xun Muyang put down the spoon and went to see Zhu Xiao seriously.
A small female doll, but standing straight.
This is the first girl who dares to make conditions with him.
Not a plea, a request.
"Do you think I should promise you? First of all, you are working, but I never care how much you eat, what you eat! Xun Muyang spoke softly.
Zhu Xiao nodded, "Yes!" β
"After you do your job, you have to pick herbs and fruits, and I didn't stop you, right?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Xiao's hands clasped tightly.
I also knew in my heart that I was too greedy.
Or maybe Xun Muyang was too kind, which made her self-confidence skyrocket.
But she forgot that what she did, countless people can do.
"Besides, I teach you to read and read, and you have to practice with a pen later, so you will use rice paper, pen and ink, and I didn't ask you for money, right!"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhu Xiao pursed his lips when he heard this.
What Xun Muyang said is indeed reasonable.
She only thought of herself, and never thought that Xun Muyang actually had a lot of ideas.
"Uncle Ayang, it's me who wants to fork in, I'm sorry, you didn't say anything about the previous words!" Zhu Wan walked outside.
Xun Muyang pursed his lips, "Zhu Xiao!" β
"Huh?" Zhu Xiao looked back at Xun Muyang.
"I know you're short of money, but I won't give you money, you come to the mountains to cook, if you give you money, it's a double payment of money, less humane, but if you lack money, I can lend it to you!"
Xun Muyang's voice was soft.
Zhu Xiao heard it very clearly, looked back at Xun Muyang and smiled, "Thank you Uncle Ayang, when I need it, I will definitely speak!" β
I took off my shoes at the door, put on my own straw sandals, and then went to the kitchen to serve poached eggs and eat them.
She understood, while eating, she thought about what she had experienced in the past few days, and began to reflect.
The events of the past few days have developed according to what she envisioned, and she has forgotten smoothly that Xun Muyang is not one of the people of the Zhu family who has never seen the world.
Besides, what Xun Muyang said is right, money is nothing, and after the silver and goods are gone, what kind of affection will there be.
Don't be arrogant, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry, step by step, don't take everything for granted, don't think too important and omnipotent, and can't be shameless, in order to really win and everything you want.
"Whew!" Zhu Xiao exhaled softly.
It was also thanks to Xun Muyang who rejected her today and said these few words to her, so that she did not fall into a dead end.
How can other people's money compare to what they earn little by little and spend it with peace of mind.
Xun Muyang was in the house, also eating poached eggs.
He has money, a lot of money, money that can't be used up in several lifetimes, Zhu Xiao wants it, just give it.
But for some reason, when Zhu asked for wages, he didn't want to give it and refused.
It's strange, but I don't regret it.
Maybe it's because it's rare for Zhu Xiao to cook a meal that allows him to eat it, and he doesn't want to mix it with the smell of money and decay.
He could feed the sisters and even teach them to read and write, but the money was ......
It can be borrowed in other ways, but it cannot be wages.
The two have their own thoughts, but I have to say that they can be regarded as reaching a consensus.
It was still early to cook, Zhu Xiaouring sat under the eaves, silently reciting the three-character scripture, and took a stick to write on the ground.
"Zhu Xiao?"
Zhu Xiao heard the voice, and hurriedly got up and went to the door, "Uncle Ayang has something?" β
"Writing on the ground is not the same as writing on rice paper, you come in and sit here and write!"
"Oh!"
Zhu Xiao entered the house and saw that Xun Muyang had already tied up his hair and fixed it with a brocade belt, handsome and cold, tall and mighty.
She suddenly remembered the feeling that Xun Muyang gave her when she met for the first time, cold and hard, compared with today, there is actually not much difference, but maybe because of acquaintance, and because of the food she cooked, she was more polite and kind!
"Good!"
Zhu Xiao changed his shoes and sat down.
Reaching out to pick up the brush and posing for holding the pen, Xun Muyang looked at it and nodded slightly, "Your posture of holding the pen is correct, can you write?" β
"No, I just saw someone else holding it, Uncle Yang, there are two scholars in my family!" Zhu Zhi, dipped in ink and written on rice paper.
It's just that her handwriting is too upright, without the slightest bone.
Xun Muyang thought for a while, got up and walked to the bookshelf, opened a drawer, and took out a stack of rice paper, on which were written words, which were the three-character scriptures.
Put it in front of Zhu Xiao, "Copy it according to this font!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhu Xiao looked at Xun Muyang puzzled.
Xun Muyang coughed, "This is a book, although most girls practice hairpins, but there are more people who write, and there are no characteristics, so let's practice!" β
Zhu Xiao felt that this was definitely not the case, but he still responded obediently, "Oh! β
She was still a child and had to be obedient.
Even if there is a conspiracy, you have to surrender!
