Chapter 346: Letter from Mr. Ouyang
After the shopkeeper Zhu waved his hand to let the subordinates behind him go down, he turned around and hugged his fist towards Wu Tian and the others.
"Brother Wu, I don't know when we will be able to meet today, Brother Wu take care, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
"Brother Zhu, we must still have a chance to cooperate, Brother Zhu has a smooth journey."
"Haha, okay, borrow Brother Wu's auspicious words."
"Little owner, can you take a step to speak? Our owner has something to bring to you. ”
Yun Niang heard the words of Shopkeeper Zhu, and after glancing around at Wu Tian and the others next to her, she nodded.
"Uncle Zhu, please."
At the first glance, when Yun Niang saw the three of Zhu's shopkeepers, she had already found that among the three of them, she was vaguely headed by Zhu's shopkeepers, and when Yun Niang observed the body and demeanor of the shopkeeper Xu and Gui's shopkeeper who were half a step apart, she knew that she guessed eight or nine and ten.
Yun Niang was also surprised when she suddenly knew that Mr. Ouyang had something for the shopkeeper Zhu to hand over to her.
It stands to reason that Mr. Ouyang should also give something to Yun Xiu, not her, and Mr. Ouyang's move made Yun Niang feel very strange.
Yun Yang looked at the shopkeeper Zhu who was more than ten meters away from them, and after saying a few words to Yun Niang, he took out a letter and handed it to Yun Niang.
Looking at Yun Niang, whose face became a little stiff after reading the letter, Yun Yang's bad premonition in his heart became more and more intense, according to the second sister's temperament, he knew very well, if something big didn't happen, the second sister would never have such a look.
Shopkeeper Zhu, who turned to come back, looked at Shopkeeper Xu, who had already reconciled accounts with Wu Zhong, who had kept accounts, and after taking the account book handed over by Shopkeeper Xu, Shopkeeper Zhu nodded.
"Brother Wu, this is the account for these two months, you count it, it is a total of 14,500 taels of silver."
After the shopkeeper Zhu finished talking about the number of silver, the young man next to him, who had been walking an inch, handed over the amount of silver to Wu Zhong.
"No need, the shopkeeper Zhu is a person, how could Wu Zhong not believe it. I hope the three shopkeepers have a smooth journey. ”
"Tailwind, take care."
"Take care."
After saying goodbye to Wu Tian, Shopkeeper Zhu turned to look at Yun Niang, who had an unnatural face on the side, nodded and turned to leave.
Yun Yang watched Wu Tian and the villagers escort the Zhu shopkeepers out of the farm all the way, and then quickly turned around and walked towards Yun Niang, who was standing still.
"Second sister, what's wrong?"
"Brother Xiang, look at it."
Yun Yang eagerly took the letter paper in Yun Niang's hand, and when he saw the news written on the letter, his eyes sank.
"Second sister, what do you think?"
"Mr. Ouyang told us to leave for the royal capital immediately, and he will send someone to pick us up, but Yun Niang feels that things are not as simple as Mr. Ouyang said."
The letter from Mr. Ouyang only instructed one thing, saying that he wanted Yun Xiu, a little apprentice, and hoped that Yun Niang would immediately take Yun Xiu and go to the royal capital to live permanently.
Let Yun Niang collect the documents and tokens in the envelope, and when she passes by the town to which she belongs and is not allowed to enter, she will take out the tokens and let the local officials let them go, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Yun Niang took out the customs clearance documents and tokens in the envelope, and found that it was just a boxy piece of iron, and there was nothing else on the iron sheet except for the huge word Ouyang.
Yun Yang took the iron token from Yun Niang's finger, looked at it, and always felt that this thing was not ordinary, although there was no sign on it, but it made Yun Yang feel a solemn and iron-blooded aura.
"Second sister, put away these things first, and then we'll go back and think about it in the long run."
"Well, Yun Niang knows."
Yun Niang took the letter and envelope handed over by Yun Yang and put them in her sleeve, and then she cheered up to deal with Wu Tian, who had already come in.
"Girl, this is the payment, you can count it, our farm is also counted, hey!"
"No need Uncle Wu, will Yun Niang still not believe you? Third Uncle Wu, you can help Yun Niang gather all the uncles over, and settle all the uncles' wages today. ”
"Eh, yes, I'll go."
After Wu Guo glanced at Wu Tian, he spread his legs and went out the door.
"Second Uncle Wu, you can help Yun Niang calculate the wages of the uncles, and everyone's wages will be calculated according to three times the current salary, after all, this salary is different from the past, this salary should be given."
Wu Zhong had already taken over Uncle Zhou's job, and after Yun Niang's farm was put on track, Uncle Zhou left Qingshui County and returned to his original place.
Wu Zhong raised his head and glanced at Yun Niang, and agreed with relief on his face.
"Second Uncle Wu knows, don't worry, girl."
Today's grain prices have risen to a very high level due to the shortage of the bankers, and for a time there are fewer people in the village who can eat enough.
In the village, because Wang Tao and others are working in Yun Niang's farm, Yun Niang also tries to give Wang Tao some benefits wherever she can.
From the original 300 wen a month, it has risen to 1 tael of silver a month, which has tripled the wage, after all, the current grain price has risen to 50 wen a catty.
For Wang Tao and others, the food and clothing of the family can only be regarded as satisfying, not to mention those villagers who can't earn a few dollars in a day.
For these, Wang Tao and they all know that Yun Niang's good heart will increase the salary instead of decreasing, so that they can fill their stomachs. Because there are more and more people looking for work in the county, the black-hearted businessmen have lowered their wages again and again, and now they are tired and tired of working for a day, only two meals, and they are still porridge and a steamed bun.
In order to live and reduce the burden on their families, some desperate people in the village are willing to work even if they have no salary, and only drink a bowl of porridge every day, and the rest of the steamed buns are quietly brought back.
There are more and more such situations now, so Wang Tao and others are grateful to Yun Niang in their hearts, and they are doing their best in their work, so that some young people have not stolen a single trace of the farm in the past few months.
Wang Tao and others' performance and intentions, how could Yun Niang not find out, so Yun Niang did not hesitate to increase the salary.
Of course, Yun Niang is not the Virgin Mary, of course she will be good to those who are good to her, and those who are not good to her will never give a penny.
For example, Yun Niang's third uncle, Wang Sanzhuang's family.
In the days when Yun Xiu participated in the imperial examination, Yun Niang also inadvertently heard the wind from Huzi, it seemed that it was Wang Chen's family, that is, the eldest girl's mother was ready to help the eldest girl find a husband, and had been asking people to inquire where there were good people and marry the eldest girl.
When Yun Niang heard the news, she immediately sneered, just with the appearance and temperament of the eldest girl, that normal person dared to marry?
Besides, the reputation of the eldest girl is in a few villages next to it, but it has spread all over the place, who doesn't know who the eldest girl is?
Yun Niang was still very curious about who would be so unlucky to be selected by Wang Sanzhuang's family, but who knew that yesterday I heard that the eldest girl was taken away by the Ya Pozi, and I heard that the eldest girl was sold for a full ten taels of silver!
Knowing that Wang Chen, who loved his daughter like his life, would actually sell the eldest girl, Yun Niang didn't believe it anyway, and thought that she was forced by Wang Sanzhuang's scum, so she wanted to pull the eldest girl at this time.
