"Zheng Fengchun, punish disobedient and errant female workers, that's what you managers should do. I have something to do with Du Niangzi, I will take her away, and I will talk to you! Mincer said.
Aunt Zheng hurriedly responded: "Okay! Good! Miss Minse said yes! Girl walk slowly! ”
When Du Ruo followed Ming Se out of the door, the tension and humility on Aunt Zheng's face disappeared, she looked at the door and snorted, and scolded in her mouth: "Little prostitute! Since he was a child, he was picked up and raised by Old Man Meng from outside, and he regarded himself as the master! I don't know who my name is! If you really have the ability, why don't you climb into Meng Ye's bed! ”
Du Ruo walked a meter behind Ming Se, Ming Se walked slowly, and she naturally didn't walk fast.
When she reached the nearby pavilion, Ming Se waved her hand and motioned for the maid to go down, inviting Du Ruo to sit down with her.
"Meng Ye is not in Xiuzhuang today." Mincer said.
Du Ruo nodded.
"The young master is playing in the backyard, he has been getting more and more naughty recently, today let the tailor measure him, and he has grown taller, and the clothes he made before don't fit very well, and he has been ordered to go down and make him a few more clothes." Minser smiled again, his voice soft and soft, with a smile on his face.
Du Ruo nodded, and said kindly: "The young master is the time to grow his body, and it is better for boys to buy some." ”
From the first time I saw him in Qingyang Temple, to the time I came to Xiuzhuang to see him so many times, he always had melancholy in his eyes, and he always loved to cry, and his temperament was a little awkward.
It seems to be much better lately, though.
"That's what Du Niangzi said." Ming Se said, "A few days ago, Du Niangzi came and went in a hurry, what are you busy with?" I want to sit and talk to you and can't find free time, and I don't dare to stop you. ”
Du Ruo speculated in her heart that she didn't get into the topic when she came to herself, could it be just for idle talk?
"Something happened at home a few days ago, so I hurried home." Du Ruo explained.
In fact, I went to the study to work.
Mingse nodded clearly, and asked again: "I don't know how Du Niangzi's family is doing?" If there's anything you need help with, just come to me, we've known each other for a long time. ”
"Thank you Miss Minse for your care, although my family is poor, but it's okay, there is nothing to help." She said.
Du Ruo suddenly remembered the incident in Biyun Pavilion last time, and couldn't help but be grateful: "Last time Meng Ye asked me to go to Biyun Pavilion, did the girl ask the young master to run to read the letter?" Meng Xiuwen's appearance helped her out of the siege.
"Oh, when was this, I can't remember." Mincer raised his hand and tapped lightly on his head twice.
Du Ruo looked at her with a smile, and he didn't know if she was intentional or unintentional.
"I see that Du Niangzi speaks and does things very measuredly, and learns things quickly, not like she was born in poverty, I don't know what the situation of Du Niangzi's family is? I just asked casually, don't worry about Du Niangzi, I am a child of a poor family, and my biological parents couldn't afford to raise it, so I sold it, and I was later picked up by the old man. Minse added.
Du Ruo had also heard some things about Mingse before, but he didn't expect her to say it so calmly.
"Miss Minse has won the prize, my mother's family is also poor, and the first four children in the family grew up hungry and full."
"Did Mrs. Du ever go to school? Farmers in the township generally do not let their daughters study, and only help the family sew and do things. ”
"I studied with my brother for a few days." After all, she can read and write now.
"No wonder." Minse laughed, turned and beckoned to the maid who was standing not far away.
The maid came over and placed the tray on the table.
On the tray was a neatly folded pale vermicelli sprinkled pleated skirt, and next to it was a small bag of silk-wrapped things, and Ming Se untied the silk, and inside was twenty taels of silver.
"Last time, you couldn't afford to give too much reward, and you can't refuse it anymore this time, this is what you deserve during this time. The young master is not so close to anyone easily, this dress is mine, newly made, I am a little inappropriate to wear, I see that it is about the same size as you, so I will give it to you, if you don't wear it well, give it to others. Mincer said to her.
After listening to her, Du Ruo hurriedly thanked her, and since this was the case, she did not refuse.
Ming Se seemed to be relieved, and said to her again: "The young master's birthday is on the sixteenth of this month, presumably you have to prepare a gift in advance." ”
Du Ruo nodded, "Okay." ”
If Ming Se didn't say it, then she shouldn't know, besides, the young master of the Meng family celebrated his birthday, and the people who gave gifts should not be less, and they were not cheap. Since she said it, she had to think carefully about what to give him when she had no money.
Back at the Shangong Building, Aunt Zheng was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, but Du Ruo felt as if she had some sense, as soon as she raised her foot and entered the door, Aunt Zheng immediately opened her eyes.
"I'm back, Aunt Zheng." Du Ruo said hello to her.
As soon as they sat back in their seats, before they could say a word to Feng Ning, Aunt Zheng had already walked in front of them.
"What's in your hand?" Aunt Zheng asked Du Ruo.
"It's a garment." Du Ruo said.
"Show me it!" Aunt Zheng stretched out her hand and grabbed it from the other end of the table.
She looked at it and was amazed that the garment was made of fine silk. She is a small steward, but she is also well-informed and experienced, this skirt cutting, workmanship, embroidery is a good product at a glance, not to mention it is worth more than a dozen taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford to wear it.
"Where did this come from?!" Aunt Zheng asked her again.
"It was given to Miss Minse." Du Ruo replied,
Aunt Zheng was surprised again, but she also hid the anger on her face for a moment, and asked her again: "What did Miss Mingse tell you to do?" ”
"Just talked to me for a while and asked me if I was working hard." Du Ruo said.
Aunt Zheng's face changed slightly.
She thought that Du Ruo was a relative of the Meng family, but later heard that she denied it, so she treated her with other people, and lost her previous politeness. But now her heart was lifted again.
Feng Ning was doing the work in his hands, and at the same time listening to their speeches silently, his heart was also churning.
Aunt Zheng handed her the clothes again, and said in a harmonious voice: "Hurry up and work, you have been delayed for a long time." ”
Du Ruo took it and sat down again.
When Aunt Zheng left, Feng Ning quickly glanced at her, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Du Ruo, are you very close to Miss Mingse?" ”
"No, it's just the reward that Meng Ye ordered me to paint before." Du Ruo said.
Feng Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting off work, Du Ruo left the embroidery village and went to the street.
The town of Gunan is actually not rich, and it is a mountain to the west of Yunshui Embroidery Village. However, with the increase of workshops, there are more businesses around.
Du Ruo wants to rent a decent house, it would be great if he had a small yard, but he didn't know how the rent would be.
She walked on the street for a while, and asked three families one after another, some of which were too expensive; Some houses went in to take a look, they hadn't been inhabited for a long time, they were damp and full of musty smell, and she didn't like them; Some are suitable, but the landlord doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
As she walked, a little girl ran up to her, grabbed her clothes, and raised her head and called her 'sister'.
"Is that you?" Du Ruo said with a smile, then she turned to look in both directions, and found that the jeweler she had seen when she first came to Gunan Town was smiling and greeting her not far away.
"I thought you weren't in the business anymore, and I didn't see you the first few times I walked down the street." Du Ruo walked over.
"Hey! What can you do if you don't do this? I wanted to go to the city to make a living, but I can't do anything else than this craft! I'm afraid I won't be able to feed me and A-Qing! The jeweler said, "Ah Qing was sick a while ago, so I didn't come out to set up a stall." ”
It turned out that the girl's name was Ah Qing, and Du Ruo saw that she was running and playing again, so he said: "I see, now she should be in good shape." ”
"That's right! This girl has a big life! ”
"What do you call it?" Du Ruo asked.
"I have taken A-Qing on this street all the year round, and almost everyone knows me, and they all call me Brother Lu! I don't know what the lady is going to do? ”
"I'll take a look casually, I don't know if Brother Lu knows any cheap rental houses, I want to rent two."
"This ...... I really don't know, I'll go back and ask you! ”
"Okay, thank you!"
"You're welcome! I'm familiar with this place! ”
Du Ruo looked around again, and found that looking north from here, he could just see the honeysuckle full of buildings standing out from the rows of buildings, and they were magnificent.
"The things in the building are full of honeysuckle, they must be very expensive, right?" Du Ruo said with a smile.
Brother Lu also stopped what he was doing, glanced over there, and sighed: "Not really! The cheapest thing, the price is enough to eat for a year! ”
He glanced up at Du Ruo again, "If you have nothing to do, you can go and take a look!" ”
Du Ruo nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Who is the boss of this honeysuckle building?" ”
The strength is so strong, to be able to operate this honeysuckle full of buildings, the whole building is sold with gold, silver and jade, the value may not be estimated, but think about it is also a huge amount.
is richer than the Meng family, and the gods of wealth in Gunan Town are more low-key than the other!
Brother Lu wiped the sweat from his head and shook his head: "I really don't know, I only know that there is a woman named Qin Rui who is in charge of things!" As for who the boss is, it seems that no one has ever heard of it! ”
Women in charge? Du Ruo was curious, so he said to Brother Lu, "I'll take a look." ”
It just so happened that she was going to prepare a birthday gift for Meng Xiuwen, if there was something she could afford to buy, the price was about the same, she gritted her teeth and bought it, and the things she gave away at that time made people lose face, so she accepted it in front of her, and threw it away as soon as she turned around.
It wasn't far away, and she walked for a while.
Standing outside, I looked up, and the gilded plaque in the middle was very magnificent.
Du Ruo glanced at the guys guarding on both sides, raised his feet and walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a gorgeously dressed woman sitting on a chair on the west side with a golden abacus more than a foot long in her hand, with one foot crossed boredly, humming a tune in her mouth, and her behavior was a little unrestrained.
