Chapter 142: Girl

After a few more words of gossip, she accompanied her sister-in-law to sort out the housework for a while, and Gu Wan went back to her Spring Garden, now that Lord Chen is still in the future, her homework is not heavy, and she still has a lot of leisure time. //..

Today's sunshine is good, Gu Wan simply took a book of poems and leaned on the couch to hide.

Bao Sheng and Bao Qin were supposed to serve in the house, but these days the family is short of manpower, Gu Wan is literate and hyphenated under her hands, and these two big girls who can say that they can calculate let Lu Sanniang borrow to settle accounts, and they stayed up for several nights, but the work is still not finished, at this time, Bao Sheng and Bao Qin are holding an account book in their hands, sitting at a low table next to the fireplace, and the abacus beads are crackling.

After a while, it was obvious that she had encountered some problem, and Baoqin pouted, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of worry and anxiety.

Gu Wan couldn't help but smile: "You two are busier than my master, just don't toss around here, ask Sanniang if you have something." "These two girls are in the house, there is a lot of noise, and it is too unclean!

The abacus was still made by Gu Wan after she arrived at Dayong, and she used to use abacus, although she had also learned to dial abacus in the 21st century, but compared to the arithmetic chips she used for decades in her previous life, she always felt that it was not convenient, but when Dayong came, when there were not enough people, Gu Wan thought about it, and still tossed the abacus out, she was not used to it, thinking that these little girls who had not yet developed the habit of using arithmetic chips would feel that the abacus was simpler, easier and faster!

Sure enough, compared to the cumbersome calculations, Bao Sheng and Bao Qin love abacus more, since they learned to use abacus, the two of them have one each, and they no longer touch those long and short things that are packed in bags and take up a lot of space, and they have only practiced for less than half a month. The speed of settling accounts is not slower than Gu Wan's, Gu Wan is blushing when she sees it, and she can't help but let people make a small abacus of gold and jade, and play with it in her hand when she has time. It was a little awkward at first, but after being available for a while, it showed benefits. The abacus can replace the abacus, and it really makes sense.

Baosheng and Baoqin struggled for a long time, turning their heads to look at their little lady.

Gu Wan smiled: "I haven't seen those accounts, you better go and ask Sanniang!" ”

If the master will not let go and take care of everything, then what will he do?

Baosheng and Baoqin are helpless. I had to grab a little girl I just bought, Yuxiang, and said seriously: "You are serving the little lady here, you have to be dedicated, don't talk too much." Do you hear me? ”

Yuxiang is only eleven this year, she just bought it from Renyazi, she is from Linjiazhuang near Dayong, her family makes tofu, and the business is not bad, but there are too many children, she has three sisters, an elder brother, and two younger brothers. //.. Two of the three sisters have been married, and the third sister is also engaged and is preparing to marry at home.

In these years, if a girl wants to live well after getting married, she must have some dowry anyway, and the eldest brother in the family has reached the age of studying. Yuxiang and her father also want to send their son to study, but the family's money is absolutely not enough, Yuxiang looked at her father, her sister and brother were worried, and her head was hot, so she ran to sell herself.

Yuxiang looks good, has an innocent family background, and can speak well, very clever, when Lu Sanniang picks someone, she falls in love with her at a glance, just when Baosheng and Baoqin are getting older, and they are about to get married, so they will put Yuxiang and another little girl next to the two of them to study, and if they do well in the future, they will be a big girl for the little lady.

Of course, Lu Sanniang has become more and more proper in doing things over the years, and it is impossible for the little girl prepared for Gu Wan to be the only one, and there are more than ten people with good qualifications who are training.

Yuxiang listened to Baosheng's words, patted her chest and promised that she would not be lazy and take good care of the little lady!

As soon as they went out, she sat down by the fireplace, took out the sewing basket, and began to make clothes. Her fingers were extremely dexterous, apparently accustomed to work, and in a short time she embroidered a very delicate peony flower.

This little girl, since she was a child, she has been learning Su embroidery with her grandmother, I heard that her grandmother used to work in the palace, and when she was old, she was released from the palace to marry someone, don't look at Yuxiang is still young, but the craftsmanship is really good, she used to be at home, and she always tried her best to do more needlework, and changed the silver to supplement the family, but at that time, their family had little money and couldn't buy good materials, so they could only do it for ordinary people.

Ordinary people, is to buy clothes, and where will buy expensive high-end, Yuxiang is only roughly embroidered a few patterns, can see the past, since came to the Gu family, the little lady is very generous, the salary is high, and from time to time can get the silver, she took advantage of her leisure, with her own silver to buy some good materials, when not doing work, embroidered to supplement the family.

At the beginning, Yuxiang only got off work at night, and when she didn't have an errand, she embroidered a few stitches by the moonlight, and didn't dare to delay the mistake, but she accidentally let Bao Sheng catch it, at that time, Yu Xiang thought that she would definitely be punished, but she didn't expect that Bao Sheng asked about the situation, and looked at her needlework, and simply increased her salary, so she was specially asked to do some needlework for several masters.

Since then, her salary has doubled, not to mention, the little lady is kind-hearted, and not stingy, all the remaining corners of her clothes, let her use herself, if she does well, the little lady will also reward the good cloth satin, this is only a month into the house, she saved a half of the scattered silver, three good fabrics, and all of them are red, Yuxiang brought two horses home, just let her three sisters make more festive clothes.

After doing work for a while, Yuxiang looked up at her master, saw Gu Wan licking her lips, her heart moved, and she hurriedly went to hold a cup of flower tea, and carefully served it to Gu Wan: "Little lady, you said that flower tea is the most beautiful, drink a little to moisten your throat." ”

Gu Wan smiled, nodded, took a few sips of the teacup, looked up and saw the little girl's bright eyes, and pinched her pink cheeks with a smile, she was very impressed by this little girl: "By the way, I remember that your sister is going to get married, you can go back and take a look at it when the day comes." ”

The little girl's eyes became even brighter in an instant, I really didn't expect the little lady to even know that her sister was going to get married!

Actually, it was Yugui who inadvertently revealed it to Bao Sheng, and Bao Sheng casually asked a few words before letting Gu Wan know.

Cinnamon is another little girl that Sanniang put next to Gu Wan, the name of the Gu family's maid is different from other people's families, and it is not only convenient for the owner's family, so she will change her name at will, if it is originally named, then it will be called according to the original name, if it is not, then it will be from the master's family, however, these days, the poor people are not interested in naming girls, they are generally big girls, and the second girl is called that, Yu Gui has no name before, Gu Wan simply let her follow Yuxiang's jade character.

The custom here is that three days before the girl goes out, the little sisters have to get together, and it is also to add makeup to the girl who is about to get married.

When the day came, Yuxiang happily packed her things, and Gu Wan also sent a car to send her.

This Linjiazhuang, only about ten miles away from Dayong, is also a big village, there are four or five hundred people, most of them live by farming, and there are also like Yuxiang's family, who do some small business at home.

Yuxiang's family is in Linjiazhuang, it is a wealthy family, a big yard, five main houses, if it weren't for the many children, how could it not sell their daughter, but now, although Yuxiang's father and mother accepted their fate, they still hate their daughter for selling themselves in such a daze, every time I come to see her, I always have to count a few words, and the neighbors gossip a lot.

Yuxiang used to only ask someone to carry things, this is still after leaving home, the first time I came back, I was a little apprehensive in my heart, when I looked up, I saw two red lanterns hanging in front of the yard, my heart was even more jumping, hesitantly got out of the car, and walked into the house.

Yuxiang's father is making tofu in the tofu workshop, and her mother is talking to her third sister. [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
