How could a woman who could meditate and learn calligraphy for a long time be reduced to selling needlework on the street for a living?

Su Peiying had a trace of curiosity about this girl who had never been known in her life.

However, he stopped it at the right time, put the few purses he had already held in his hand back into the bamboo basket, and only held the fan cover and said, "The handwriting is good." If there is such a needle and thread in the future, I will pick it again. ”

Ziying was also relieved, it costs to do needlework and sell it, because of the lack of money, she could only go to the street tailor shop to buy scraps and scraps to do, so except for the skill itself, there is really nothing else that can be done.

took it out and asked him to pick it, but he was also hard-headed, he was willing to pick, and he didn't necessarily really like it, or he still had the most of the ingredients.

And he actually praised her handwriting for being good, and said that there would be such a pick-up in the future, which made her return worthwhile.

After all, although she is short of money, she does hope that the pay and the gain are equal.

Others have suffered, and she is not at ease.

Thinking of this, she felt a little excited in her heart: "Okay." Then it's decided, three days later, at this time, I'll wait here for Childe! ”

After speaking, she smiled comfortably, and said: "But if you are busy, Son, you can come back when you are free!" I'll be coming over every day! ”

Su Peiying saw her smile so relaxed and relieved, and unconsciously bent her lips.

……

Gu Xiaoshuang followed Yu Chun to Sun's house, and only Xu Lingying was there.

Originally, I thought that a great eunuch of Sun Peng's age - yes, she now knows how old she is in the owner.

This grandfather-in-law Sun is actually the admiral eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch who is on a par with the celebrant eunuch, and he has followed him since the emperor was still the prince of the king, so I thought that a eunuch of his age, his wife would definitely not be young, but he didn't expect it to be a young woman in her twenties.

The point is, she still looks very affectionate and easy to talk!

"I don't have a lot of legs, I don't go out much, you don't have much to do. Most of the time it was done with me to chat or something. So I don't know if I mind if the pay is too low? ”

Xu Lingying asked her about her after explaining her daily affairs.

"No, my father-in-law and wife are willing to appreciate it, and it is an honor to be here!"

Gu Xiaoshuang couldn't help but be moved, and the monthly reward of ten taels of silver that made her almost jump with joy made her jump with joy, but people were still worried about whether it would be too low? This is about the vision of the dignitaries.

Xu Lingying smiled and nodded: "My father-in-law is busy with government affairs, and he is not in the house during the day, and when he comes back in the evening, you can also go back."

"Of course, if you want to stay in the house, I can also arrange for someone to come out.

"In addition, since there are occasional female guests visiting the house, there are some etiquettes that you must be familiar with, and you have to familiarize yourself with them later."

In ancient times, Gu Xiaoshuang had already done it in the Gu family.

However, she is new to the city, and there is always nothing wrong with covering up her edge, so she agrees. It's just that she doesn't live in the house, how can she leave Ziying there.

"If there are no other problems, I can take office from today." Xu Lingying finally said.

Gu Xiaoshuang felt that this Mrs. Sun was quite kind, and she didn't look like she had a lot of eyes.

But for some reason, she seemed a little preoccupied, and it didn't match her position—although no one said it explicitly, she could see that Sun Peng had a lot of respect and affection for the young lady.

So it stands to reason that she should be very graceful, but it seems that she just can't let go of something.

She doesn't talk much about this kind of thing. The most important thing to be a subordinate is to keep her mouth shut at all times, and she still has this professional ethics.

As soon as Sun Peng arrived at the house in the evening, Xu Lingying sent a little maid to tell her that she could leave the class.

On the way back, she bought some vegetables, planning to celebrate today's good life, met Abu at the mouth of the alley, and learned that Tan Zishao had actually come today, so she rushed home, and pulled Ziying, who was washing rice with her sleeves, aside: "What is that beast doing here?" ”

Ziying was not in such a bad mood because she was affirmed by Su Peiying in the next day, and after hearing this, she paused and continued to scoop rice into the pot: "He was very generous, threw me fifty taels of silver tickets, and limited me to take Aji back to Qianzhou within ten days, and don't go to Beijing in this life." ”

"This brute!" Gu Xiaoshuang smashed his fist on the stove.

"Don't be angry." Zi Ying put the pot on the stove rack, let Aji light the fire, and then took the dishes in her hand and sorted them out: "Today is a happy day for your new appointment, let's not be in a bad mood because of him."

"-You buy tofu and fish, we can make fish head tofu soup!"

Gu Xiaoshuang saw that she was full of interest and picked up the food, sighed in her heart, and snatched the food over: "Okay, you can rest." As for the tofu soup you made, I couldn't eat for three days. ”

Ziying's cooking skills are really not good. didn't shirk it, took the dishes to wash, and said: "Speaking of which, the Gu family is much more magnificent than our Lin family, how can you, who was born in the mansion of the feudal official, also cook?" ”

Of course she believes that she is not favored in the Gu family, but she is so unfavored, but she still has the opportunity to practice cooking, which is rare.

And many of his dishes are novel, such as shredded potatoes and stir-fried with vinegar, rather than cut into large pieces to stew or boil.

As for fish, she also uses it to make soups, adding some vegetables that are rarely matched, although it is a home-style taste, but it looks refreshing and delicious with it.

"Learn secretly." Gu Xiaoshuang said.

As an independent and autonomous soldier, how can he not even know how to cook? When fighting in the field, they often have to cook by themselves.

At first, she can eat it, and then she slowly pondered it, and she liked it, after all, her mother died early, and her father and stepmother had a new child, so she always had a lonely time.

"By the way," she said again after picking up the fish neatly, "the guy surnamed Tan is too much, I don't think you can be so passive, you still have to find a way to teach him a lesson."

"Why don't you go and tell Zuo Sheng directly? Even if he can't do anything to Tan Zishao, he will let Zuo Sheng have a number in his heart, know who he is, and let him take advantage of any cheapness. ”

Although the Lin family is not prosperous, they also have a head and face in Qianzhou. Father Lin was a real protégé of the Son of Heaven before his death, and he was bullied by Tan Zishao, which made people feel uneasy.

Zi Ying chose the cabbage: "It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, but don't say that I can't get close to Zuo Sheng at all, even if I do, he won't believe me who suddenly came out to frame his prospective son-in-law." ”

Gu Xiaoshuang silently slashed on the fish, and after all, she could only sigh.

This is the difference between grassroots and scholars, although Tan Zishao is not a high-ranking official, but he has fame, so he can be regarded as fearless.
