After all, everyone said that the county lord of Yujie was an elderly woman who was prone to dystocia, which scared the lord of Yujie a lot, although Wen Jin knew that twenty-five to twenty-seven years old was the most suitable age for women to give birth, but she didn't dare to say it, even if she said it, no one would believe it.

But Ge's words, the lord of Yujie believes everything.

Ge Shi is an idle person, and with her accompanying the county lord Yujie and helping to take care of Yanran's sister-in-law, Wen Jin is a lot easier.

Liangxi has lived with Wei's for more than a year, and also followed Wen Jin to learn everyone's rules, the little person has already quite the demeanor of everyone's ladies, she doesn't swing her skirt, she doesn't smile her teeth, and she speaks in a gentle manner, Liangqing saw it, she was ashamed, and quietly muttered to Ge that she also wanted to learn, Ge was very embarrassed, and could only comfort Liangqing to see if there was a chance in the future.

According to the meaning of the county lord of Yujie, Wen Jin asked people to make a few clothes and put them on for Ge Shi and Liangqing.

"Sister, this big family, don't work, what do you eat?" Liangxi is still ignorant, but Liangqing is a little worried.

"My sister has a shop, and there is also a Zhuangzi at home, and she hires people to plant it, and what about it, the county lord's mother, your third brother-in-law and Brother Wen Han also have silver to take, so you don't have to worry about having no food to eat."

"Sister, me, can I go out and earn money?"

"Yo, why did Liangqing say that?"

"I, I, my mother always forced me to do needlework." This girl who loves to read, when she talks about this, her eyes immediately turn red.

Ge Shi also whispered to Wen Jin that she regretted letting Liangqing read: "Girls know so much, it's useless, holding a needle is like grabbing a mallet, how can this be good?" Seeing that it's time to find her mother-in-law's house, who dares to ask for such a master, who doesn't know how to needlework, what does the family wear? ”

Wen Jin also considered for Liangqing, with her identity, even if she fills the house for others, she can't enter a big family, but who in a small family can stand a daughter-in-law who can't work? Liangqing's way out should be to find a suitable thing to do. She heard that there are some tailor shops and gold and silver shops in the capital that specialize in women's business, the accounts and stewards, all of them are women, the salary is not low, Liangqing can make money, naturally she does not worry about food and clothing in the future, she can't do it, she can spend money to hire people, or buy ready-to-wear clothes, and she can support herself by herself, she has confidence in her mother-in-law's house, and she is not afraid of being pinched by her mother-in-law.

"Liangqing, have you ever thought that like your sister, you can earn your own money and spend it yourself, even when you go to your husband's house, you don't look at the man's face, and you don't have to ask for flowers in the palm of your hand?"

"Of course, I hope to be as capable as my sister, but that is, how can I have that ability."

"Don't worry, my sister asked people to inquire and help you find something to do, a month's money to support yourself, and there is a balance."

"That's great."

Liangxi also mixed blindly on the side: "I want it too, I want it too." ”

"Liangxi is good, you are still young, wait until you grow up."

"Then I'll study hard-" Wen Jin is one head and two big, what's going on with the Wei family? The whole length is reversed, the two daughters are eager to learn, but the eldest son is in a hurry to fail to get famous.

Wei Chenglan was very frustrated, Lianggong has not passed the county exam until now, but Qian Wenhan took the Xiucai exam at the age of fifteen.

Wei sighed to Wen Jin in private: "No way, nephew is like uncle, Uncle Ge is not as good as your Uncle Wei." ”

What is this?

The arrival of the Wei family made the Qian Mansion particularly lively during this period of time, Wen Jin was even busier, Xiao Yi came to see her quietly after a few days, and found that her daughter was in a good state of mind and there was nothing wrong, which made him both relieved and disappointed.

During this time, Qian Jun came very diligently, but he could only meet Wen Han in the outer courtyard. He really misses Wen Jin too much, but he is afraid of causing trouble to his beloved woman, so he has to endure himself, facing Wen Han, he feels that Wen Jin is not far away, and his impetuous heart can be a little calmer.

Wen Han's mentality was much better than Wen Jin's, and he strongly persuaded her to rest assured: "Why don't you believe Qian Jun?" The war in Western Xinjiang has been fought for ten years, and as soon as he goes, there will be a turnaround, what kind of wisdom is this? ”

"But, brother, who have you ever seen who can fight for the emperor?" Wen Han vaguely knew the emperor's thoughts from Qian Jun's mouth, and accidentally leaked his mouth and asked Wen Jin to find out the truth.

"Qian Jun asked me to tell you, just rest assured, he has a way, but he has to wait for a while."

"Okay, I'll see how he turns his hands into clouds and rain, and pries that supreme man aside."

Wen Han's comfort made Wen Jin feel a lot less anxious, so she remembered Liangqing's matter, "Brother, you walk outside and see if you can help Liangqing find something to do, she doesn't like to do needlework, Uncle Ge always persecuts her, and the child is so pitiful." ”

Wen Han frowned and thought about it: "It's better to let Liangqing men's clothes follow Lianggong to learn again, and in the future, I will be a female gentleman for everyone." ”

"No, you can't learn from a man, if you want to be a woman, you have to learn from a woman and know what others teach."

"Oh, yes, yes." After Wen Han finished speaking, he was worried again, "Where can I find such a female gentleman?" ”

"Hehe, brother, with the county lord of Yujie, you don't have to worry."

The Queen Mother is very fond of the Qian family, and the ladies in the capital can understand when they think about it, what kind of feelings can the Queen Mother and the Qian family in the countryside have? Isn't it all because of the Yujie County Lord? Even if the Queen Mother likes Qian Wenjin very much, she is weak, and she knows that this is the Queen Mother's love for the house and Wu.

The county lord of Yujie said to the queen mother that she wanted to find a female gentleman, and the queen mother immediately sent a powerful grandmother who was by her side before.

Mama Yun is fifty years old, and she still has meticulous hair, smooth clothes, a straight body, a ruddy complexion, and wrinkles do not make her look old, but give people a sense of peace, love, and experience.

Lord Yujie not only let Liangqing and Liangxi study, but also let Wen Jin and Yanran have time, and also learn more from Mama Yun.

Qian Xiancong came forward to send a student to the Guozijian, it was still a very easy thing, Wei Chenglan had been worried about Lianggong's studies for a long time, and it was solved, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just waiting for his sister to give his granddaughter a hundred years old, and the family would go back.

Wei Shi was very reluctant: "Uncle, Wei Jiawan is now, don't worry about food or clothing, can't you give up the position of the patriarch?" ”

"Okay, when I came out, I entrusted it to Dahe, and he is also a capable man."

"Wen Jin said, I want you to live in the capital, otherwise, my sister is here, and I don't have any relatives."

Wei Chenglan sighed, he has been taking care of his sister, even if he sees that the Qian family is doing well now, he still can't be completely reassured: "Okay, sister, I'll go around the city for the past two days to see if I can find something to do." ”

"You, you can't go to Liba." This is about Qian Xiancong's face, and Webster can't help it.

"I know." Wei Chenglan nodded.

Wen Han heard his mother say this, and took out the bookkeeping book compiled by Wen Jin: "Uncle learn this, and I will find a way to find you an errand in the ministry." ”

"Isn't that okay? You are also a turnip and a pit, not to mention, you have offended a lot of people in the ministry, and they are watching you go wrong. "Wei Chenglan still understands much better than Qian Xiancheng, it's only been a few days since he came, and when he heard about his nephew, he can think of Wen Han's situation - Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, Wen Han is young, and he has made great achievements, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred have been smashed in all directions?

"Uncle, don't worry, just practice abacus and bookkeeping, I will let the third uncle go to Prince Ren, and send you to the military department when the time comes, we are not free here, and we are still preparing to make a big move over there."

"Oh, okay." Wei Chenglan saw that the little boy who used to protect under his wings had become the one who took care of himself, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and each wave was higher than the other.

Ge soon became a confidant of the county lord of Yujie, and on this day, when the county lord of Yujie asked Wen Jin to take care of the house, he took Ge with him.

Wen Jin understood the mind of the county lord of Yujie, she was about to give birth, although the two personal maids around her were loyal ministers, but after all, they were the eldest girls who had not left the pavilion, when the time came, she would definitely have to be guarded by Mama Fang, and she didn't know when she would be married off by the Queen Mother, or let Xiao Yi take it away.

Ge Shi is spicy and capable, and the most valuable thing is that he is pure and smart at heart, and he is a good housekeeper.

Asking her grandmother to help the housekeeper is not outrageous, Wen Jin thinks it's good - she doesn't feel at ease if she changes to a stranger.

"Aunt Ge, let me ask the county lord, are you willing to help the housekeeper? If you are willing to agree, I will teach you from tomorrow, if you don't want to, I will have to teach the spring peach next to the county lord's mother, alas, she is still a girl, and she will inevitably marry and have children in the future. ”

"Helping the county master? Can I do it? ”

"Okay, our family is relatively simple, I will teach you all the foreign relations, if you still don't know how to do it, just ask for more instructions, and less self-assertion."

"If the county lord can afford it, I will come." Ge is so good, willing to endure hardships and responsible.

"The county lord said that she would give you a salary compared to other people's families, which is tentatively set at two taels of silver a month, four sets of clothes for each season, and ten taels of silver in red envelopes at the end ......of the year."

"It's not going to work!" Before Wen Jin's words were finished, Ge Shi interrupted excitedly, "This is not good, your family is not a silver-making family, I will spend dozens of taels a year!" ”

"Aunt Ge, are you too much? This is already less, the capital is not as good as our countryside, like the mother of the big housekeeper you want to be, which one doesn't earn a hundred or ten taels of silver a year? The big housekeepers of many large families have their own big houses with three or four entrances, and their sons and daughters go out, and they also hug their sons and young ladies. ”

Ge Shi was shocked, stared for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Others are others, I am me." ”

Wen Jin smiled: "It can't be less, otherwise, others will say that the county lord is stingy." You are a servant woman of one of those big families, why are you fighting with me like a black corn? It's the profit! ”

"Huh? This? Ge Shi was even less confident, "A hundred taels of silver a year, I, I'm from a rural area, can I be competent?" ”

"Aunt Ge, didn't the county lord's mother invite the family to serve by the queen mother's side before? She wants to spend a year teaching me, you, and Yanran's sister-in-law to be housekeepers, and also to teach Liangqing and Liangxi to study and learn skills, let's seize this opportunity to learn hard, someone is teaching, are you still afraid of doing it, okay? ”

"I'll study hard." Ge Shi gritted her teeth, she is a person who does not admit defeat, others can do it, and she is taught by others, isn't it okay?

Wen Jin didn't dare to tell Aunt Ge that Mama Yun's year's worth of silver, plus clothes, jewelry, and red envelopes for the festival, would cost three hundred taels of silver to come down.

Liangqing knew, but it inspired her to study harder, and her mind to be a female gentleman in the future was even heavier, three hundred taels of silver, her father probably couldn't earn so much in his life, right?

"Liangqing, you have to be mentally prepared, it's your turn to do this, you can have twenty taels a year, plus four seasons of clothes, etc., a total of fifty taels of silver is a lot, people are from the queen mother's side, famous, I hope you can understand."

"Sister, can I enter the palace?"

When Wen Jin heard this, she was anxious: "Liangqing, don't have such thoughts, what kind of place is that in the palace?" People eat people, go in to be palace maids, can come out smoothly, only two or three out of ten, not to mention anything else, the Empress Dowager Guang was poisoned, the first emperor was angry, all the people who came into contact that day, washing vegetables, cooking, serving dishes, wiping tables, standing next to them and playing fans, I heard that there were more than 20 people, all of them were killed, among them, most of them must be innocent people. ”

"Huh?" Liangqing's face turned white.

"Qing'er, entering the palace, that is a last resort, money is inexhaustible, only when you live can you have the life to earn and spend."

"I know, sister, I won't think about entering the palace anymore."

"Well, it's good to understand what my sister means, that's not where you can get your wish if you work hard, and no one knows what the fate will be in the next moment."

Liangxi also joined in the fun: "Sister, I also study hard and don't enter the palace." ”

"Well, Liangxi is good."

Liangxi held back for a long time: "Sister, how did you change from a man to a woman?" ”

Liangqing jumped out of the fear just now, laughed, and pinched her sister's little nose: "My sister was originally a woman, but the family in front of her was poor, she had no clothes, and she always wore her brother's, so we misunderstood." "Okay, this explanation is the most understandable for Liangxi, and Wen Jin can't help but laugh.

"Sister Jin'er, Liangxi has grown up and earned a lot of money, let's get dressed every day."

"Okay, that Liangxi will learn needlework from your mother this afternoon, and when the time comes, I and Liangqing's clothes will depend on you."

Liangxi's smiling cute bun face suddenly lost her lustre, she pouted, almost crying, but she still gritted her teeth strongly: "Okay, I'll learn to accept insoles with my mother this afternoon." "Liangxi has already called Wei's mother according to Ge's instructions, and after a year, he has already said that he has been smooth-mouthed, and now Ge's is here, but he is called his aunt, Ge's at that time, he also touched Liangxi's head and didn't say anything.

Ge Shi and Wei Chenglan are both righteous people.

Looking at Liangxi's sad face, Wen Jin sighed secretly in her heart, Aunt Ge did her work, but she was a little rougher, why didn't the two daughters love this at all? It is said that nieces are like aunts, Webster's needlework, but it is very beautiful, she taught Liangxi for a year, but she still didn't make Liangxi fall in love with needlework. But Wen Jin didn't dare to be soft-hearted, otherwise, he and Liangqing were already destined to not be able to sew, and adding another Liangxi would be too against the sky, in this society, women can't needlework, and it's still a little out of line.

At the end of the month again, Wen Jin finished the family's accounts and sighed slightly, just because Wei Chenglan's family came, made a few clothes, and set up two banquets, this month's expenditure was thirty taels of silver more, no wonder the county lord of Yujie was worried that the family money was not enough to spend, this capital is a gold cave, and any amount of money can be spent.

Thinking that if he leaves this home, with Qian Xiancong and Wen Han's people, the kiwi orchard in Shiwei Village, he will definitely let himself take it away, and they will definitely not stay in this hotel in the capital, although there are two people here who are officials, and the county lord of Yujie earns a lot of money a year, but if the Qian family continues to import in the future, life will be poor one day.

The consumption is too large, and there are loopholes everywhere because of the score, but this score, if you don't put it, it's not okay, just this four-season gift of human relations, as well as the family's food and clothing, are enough for people.

Why do people have to make new clothes every season, and they have to make two sets to wear, and they must be colored satin, and the grade is low. How can you work with such clothes on? Wen Jin is very helpless, being the master just needs someone to help take care of life, and now it's making trouble, and the subordinates are all for the sake of face, what is the matter.

No wonder those officials are greedy for ink, but if they are not greedy for ink, they can't live.

Wen Jin sighed with emotion, things have to be done quickly, taking advantage of the fact that there are officials from the Ministry of Rites going to Liangzhong Province on business, let Qian Xiancong come forward to help send the pomegranate back, and write a letter to Sun Huang, asking her to preside over marrying the pomegranate to Sun Dongping, both of them are not young, and it is time to start a family and live their own small life.

As a modern person, Wen Jin naturally wrote to Sun Dongping in advance, and he was willing to do so, and Pomegranate had long been interested in Sun Dongping, which could be regarded as a lover who would eventually become a family.

At the same time, Wen Jin asked Sun Dongping to transfer a few chefs from Minghu City to prepare to open another restaurant in the capital.

Minghu City must be a little unbearable for her to be transferred out of the hands so continuously, and the pomegranate will be able to help Sun Dongping settle the field. Pomegranate is here, shrinking her hands and feet everywhere, she has no momentum at all, and smiling faces are rare, so it is better to let her go back to a place where she can give full play to her ability.

This time in the hotel, Wen Jin discussed carefully with Qian Xiancong and the county lord of Yujie, using the money of the Qian family, and the house was also the courtyard where the county lord of Yujie married, so that when she left in the future, she could stay for the Qian family. Yujie county lord's three courtyards, usually do not live in people, are a little dilapidated, this is her father's family, the Chen family is not prosperous, Chen Guisheng's uncle family originally lived here, and later a monk said, they are still suitable for living in the ancestral home, there are ancestors to protect it, otherwise the son can not keep, Princess Zhilan's horse gave the property of the hometown to the uncle, and the uncle gave the Zhuangzi and the house in the capital to the nephew. The younger brother of the lord of Yujie inherited most of the family property, and this courtyard was given to his daughter to marry.

...
