These people are here in the morning, pearls stand at the door to greet, pearls who have lived for two lifetimes, if you want to please someone, I am afraid that no one can resist it, some people passing by will greet pearls, pearls have a good memory, and ask people from time to time, have you caught pigs this year? Some people were simply told by her to accompany your mother more, she was bored. This made everyone very comfortable, thinking that Pearl, the county lady, gave them respect.

There are old people, personally help people to go, Mingqian came and walked around, met everyone cordially and kindly, and then went to work. Everyone was very excited when they saw the county master. Pearl took the opportunity to chat with everyone and ask how old their grandson was? Ask whose daughter is going to get married, and she will give a gift! In the end, the more you talk, the more speculative it becomes. Someone asked about the road.

Pearl didn't hide it from everyone, saying that she was a woman after all, she had been on the battlefield and killed Hu people, and she had been uneasy in her heart, plus the child was small and weak, so she was very worried, and asked someone with knowledge, saying that it was good to build bridges and pave roads. Because of this, everyone is asked to help build the road, and the money is paid by themselves.

"Oh, isn't it! Although we have no choice but to do this, in the end, we have seen blood, we should build roads, and we have to worship the Bodhisattva. An old lady said,

Pearl smiled and said, "You have always been knowledgeable, I asked people, don't you just say that, I not only have to build roads, but also embroider Guanyin statues at home every day, and copy Buddhism." ”

The old lady was very face-saving, and said proudly, "Madame is also for the people, and the Bodhisattva will not blame." ”

"In fact, it's almost the New Year, and I'm still working on a blind date. I couldn't bear it, too, so this time, in addition to paying the salary, I prepared gifts for everyone who came. Let everyone have a good New Year. And this place of residence is also not very bad, there are tents, and there is no need to worry about this food, to ensure that everyone has meat to eat. ”

Everyone is even happier when they hear it, this is a good project to serve the public, who doesn't want to have a good year! In particular, there are several towns that have losses.

At this time, someone asked about the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Pearl said with a smile. "It doesn't matter to me when it comes to this. The adults in our family came up with the idea and invited people from Zhuozhou and Zhangzhou to come and see the lanterns. Do you have to eat and stay in a hotel? Shopping? Even if we make some snacks. That's what you can get into! Besides, the lantern contest is not only more than the lantern, but also has a prize for guessing the riddle! ”

Although Zhu Changrong's mother is not in good health. But the man was still very shrewd and said, "Is there really that much of a bonus?" ”

"Is that still fake? Qingfeng, you guys go and get those prizes, you don't have to take the silver, bring the jewelry to everyone to see. ”

After a while, four girls came in, all holding two boxes in their hands, and they put all the boxes on the table, and then opened them, and there were two sets of red gold jewelry, one red gold inlaid with rubies, and one set with sapphires. The style is very exquisite, the gems are also very kind, large and small, the design is very natural, the gold tassel hangs down, if you bring it, I don't know what kind of brilliance it is! Then there are six pairs of golden hairpins, a pair of gold-encrusted ruby butterfly hairpins, a pair of gold-encrusted jeweled squirrel hairpins, and a pair of gold-inlaid jade plum hairpins. The rest of the silver bracelets were even more shiny, they had never seen such a beautiful bracelet, and the silver hairpin, so big, it took two taels of silver, plus the wages, I am afraid that ten taels of silver could not be bought.

Now everyone understood, and after that everyone began to eat and drink, and even the women drank juice and fruit wine. Before leaving, Pearl asked a doctor to check the pulse of a few people who needed it, not to mention, the old lady of Zhu Changrong's family really needed ginseng! The other old people are the same, young and hardworking, and now they are old, and they have all been found. Pearl sent them back, and each of them brought a box of gifts, and in front of Pearl, no one opened it. After waiting for the car, I opened the box and looked at it, Zhu Changrong's mother sighed, "Oops! This is really a crystal man's glass heart! ”

The old lady waiting next to her was close to the old lady, and when she leaned over to take a look, there were all kinds of delicate pastries and sweets on the upper layer, and two rulers and a ginseng were placed in the box on the lower floor. This ruler is worn by the elderly, and the other is brighter. Her daughter-in-law also got a box, and the old lady asked her to open it to see, it was different, it was a little emerald gold step, plus two rulers, obviously this ruler was for her and her husband.

The others also got similar things, and when they gave them to everyone, Pearl also said that when the Buddha was born, he would invite the monks to come. Please all come and listen to the lectures. In fact, when Pearl said this, he was naturally not fooling people or improvising. She has been thinking about it for a long time, this Buddha's relics should still be placed in the temple to be admired by the four directions, but this matter has to be said after the fifteenth day of the first month.

It is still not convenient to build roads in winter, but this is not impossible, first let people level the road, then put water and sand, and finally pave asphalt, which is the asphalt road. Pearl does one thing with all his might, so naturally there is nothing that can't be done, plus material support, there are people under him. The progress is still very fast, and when it is almost the New Year, the road from Zhuozhou Wharf to Dazheng County has been fully unblocked, and there are two forks in the middle that lead directly to Zhangzhou and Zhuozhou. Everyone soon discovered the advantage of this road, it was too smooth, smoother than the stone road, and the ordinary carriage walked up without any bumps, and the speed could be said to be twice as fast as before.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Pearl will also send everyone back by car as agreed with everyone in advance, and then send everyone ten catties of noodles, ten catties of rice, ten catties of pork or a chicken. The salary will not be less, and if you do a good job, you will be paid more.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, the whole family was wearing new clothes, and several boys were writing couplets and blessing characters in the study. Yu'er and Zhu'er are also practicing calligraphy. Pearl looked at the words of a few children and said to Yu'er,

"Several younger brothers have improved, and Zhu'er is also improving, I am very happy, but Yu'er, why is your handwriting still regressing?"

Yu'er pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said softly, "I've been busy practicing embroidery recently." ”

Pearl turned back to Yu'er's girl and said, "Bring Miss's embroidery frame." ”

The two girls hurried to go, listening to Pearl's voice and calm look, they already felt that Madame was angry, and after a while, the embroidery shed came, and Pearl saw it, and almost fainted out of breath, and said to Yu'er, "You come to me." ”

Pearl took Yu'er to her study next door, asked the girl to close the door, and said to Yu'er, "Don't you read and write?" Don't like to learn? ”

"I love to learn, but I won't need it in the future." Yu'er didn't dare not reply, because her aunt once said that she couldn't be submissive, she had to say something if she had something to say.

"Then the embroidery will be ready to use?"

"Embroidery can be sold for money. ...... in the future"

Pearl slapped the table, "Who told you that?" Can't read and write? Who told you that embroidering to make money is to embroider such things? How old are you to start embroidering mandarin ducks? Want to get married so early? Look at this trick again, even the aunts who do chores in the kitchen in the house will not use such bad tricks. ”

Pearl was really angry, and Yu'er was also scared, but she still insisted on saying in a trembling voice, "My father is just a country man, and he will also give me a kiss over there in the future, a farmer's family, who can write poems and paint?" ”

"You don't want to marry a serious scholar?" Pearl swallowed her temper and said,

"How many people can make a living in reading? It's better to marry a country landlord. ”

"You ......," said Pearl, who was really angry, "in that case, you should go home!" I don't need to teach you anything anyway. Get out! ”

Yu'er wanted to say something more, but she didn't say it after all. went down. When he came back in the evening, Pearl told Mingqian about the matter, Mingqian didn't speak for a long time, and thought for a long time before saying to Pearl, "Just do as you say, just instigate the nurse who teaches the bad boy not to stay and get out." ”

"It's the New Year at this time, isn't it ......?"

"You have to get away, when is the listening? Besides, no matter whether Yu'er is here or in her hometown, she can't leave such a short-sighted and distorted person by her child's side. ”

"You're right. I'll do it, you can rest first! Don't worry about this, I'll go see Zhu'er and see what she means, I'm worried that she will follow Yu'er. I've been negligent lately. ”

Ming Qian said, "It's not easy for so many children to be taken care of by you, since she thinks so, let her get better." ”

Mingqian also felt chilled, Pearl didn't say anything, got up and went to see Zhu'er, Pearl was very happy to see Pearl to see her, and Pearl showed off her embroidered flowers, although it was not the same, but obviously, the little girl liked embroidery very much, and showed Pearl the words she wrote, which was more than the homework left by Mr. Pearl for her, if Sister Yu'er wants to go home and doesn't come back, will she follow, Zhu'er and Yu'er are not the same, although she knows that Pearl is not her mother, but she has followed Pearl since she can remember, and her feelings are closer than those with Shen, so she naturally refuses to leave. Pearl happily complimented her. When Zhu'er went out to play with her brothers, Pearl left Zhu'er's grandmother and girls and beat them hard, and then it was over.

The pearl sent Yu'er back after the fifth day of the new year, and Liu Xuan's family personally sent it, and also brought a letter to Shen and grandma Feng. In addition to saying that Yu'er went home, the purpose of sending her home was also mentioned in the letter, and the situation of several other children.

Yu'er was sent away here, and the pearl was not treated badly, her girl, except for her grandmother who was kicked out, was taken away by her, and there were also things to eat and wear. You must know that Yu'er has also eaten carefully with pearls since she was a child, and now when she goes back, she doesn't know how! The little girls who followed were all like ashes, anyone could think that going back to their hometown would definitely not be as good as here, especially the maid Wenjia and Wenxuan, who were all following the young lady to read and write, and then learning embroidery and cooking, etc., they all regarded pearls as their goals, their lady was born as a girl, and they were all capable, looking at the life they are living now, they are also envious! It's over now. My own young lady is stupid enough. (To be continued......)
