Chapter 122: Shangxiang (1st Update)

To build a workshop in Minzhou, it takes a lot of manpower.

Xiao Jinyue went to her father again to ask for someone.

Xiao Pingyuan saw that his daughter's workshop and sugar shop were doing well, so he helped him place a lot of manpower, solved the problem that caused him a headache, and gave a lot of money to her mother, and even the food in the house has improved a lot recently.

Xiao Pingyuan was relieved in his heart, and when he saw that Xiao Jinyue came to him again to ask for someone, he waved his hand happily and let her choose as many as she wanted.

If you go to Minzhou to build a workshop, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the safety must be guaranteed. Xiao Jinyue first selected a group of soldiers who retired from the army, these people have been on the battlefield, although they are more or less disabled, but there is no problem with self-protection.

Then he picked a group of young and promising boys from the families of those soldiers, and there were daughters-in-law who were willing to go to Minzhou with their families, and Xiao Jinyue did not refuse. First, Minzhou is far away from the capital, and the family does not want to be separated, and Xiao Jinyue can understand this; Second, the people who worked in the workshops also had to eat, and the women went with them, and they could help them cook and wash their clothes.

I heard that the second girl was going to pick a group of people to go to Minzhou to do things, and some women were hesitant. But when they saw that the people who worked in the workshops and sugar shops were full of energy every day, in addition to the monthly silver they received, and they also had clothes, shoes and socks all year round.

But the men in the family didn't mind going to Minzhou at all, and they all rushed to go with the second manager. For them, going to Minzhou is nothing, they have a job to do, they have a salary to get, they have clothes to wear, and they can support their family on their own, which is better than anything else.

Those of them who had retired from the battlefield were disabled, and it was too difficult for them to find a job outside to support their families. Their generals saw that everyone was having a hard time, and always silently took their own money to help everyone, but the general's money was just a drop in the bucket, and they always felt that they were dragging him down, and they felt guilty and uneasy all the time.

Now the second girl provides them with a job, although it is a little far from Kyoto, but in their eyes, it is really nothing. Although Minzhou is far away, can there be a border pass far away, and a border pass is difficult?

They followed the general to the border to fight and persevered, but now they are just going to work in Minzhou, there is no worry about their lives, and they have wages to pay, and they can support a family with their own hands.

Seeing that so many people were vying to go to Minzhou with the second steward, Xiao Jinyue was very satisfied with this.

She gave the opportunity, if everyone is not willing to go, then she has nothing to say, now she is not short of money, it is a big deal to find someone to buy a group of people.

Fortunately, these people who followed his father to the battlefield knew that the world was difficult and it was not easy to live, so they did not dislike the opportunity she offered. Xiao Jinyue was quite satisfied with this, and for the selected people, she added 10% of the wages to the workers in the workshop, which was regarded as compensation for their stay away from Kyoto.

After the candidates were selected, Xiao Jinyue asked the second steward to take them all to the workshop, and after the workers in the workshop learned the skills of sugar making, they were brought to Minzhou.

Things were arranged, Xiao Jinyue was finally free, and she planned to go to Ciguang Temple.

Mrs. Li is dead, and the revenge of the original owner can be regarded as revenge, she wants to go to the temple to burn a stick of incense for Xiao Er.

Xiao Jinyue didn't want to procrastinate, so she immediately went to her mother to discuss the matter of going away.

When Xue heard that she was going to Ciguang Temple to burn incense, he hesitated for a moment and agreed.

The main reason is that if you don't agree, you can't do it, Xue knows that Xiao Jinyue has always had the right idea, and she wants to do what she has decided. Even if she doesn't agree, Yue'er will turn her head and go to his father.

The husband has always been responsive to the children, and he will never disagree with the trivial matter of going out to burn incense.

With the permission of his mother, after breakfast, Xiao Jinyue asked Bai Guo to bring some incense, candles, and paper money, and let the little maid go out with the carriage.

Ciguang Temple is not far from Kyoto, just outside the suburbs, and you will be at the foot of the mountain in an hour.

Because it is not far from the capital, whether it is the high-ranking nobles in the capital or the ordinary people, they all like to come here to burn incense and pray for blessings, so the incense of Ciguang Temple is very vigorous.

Although Xiao Jinyue did not believe in ghosts and gods in modern times, when she arrived here, she decided to follow the local customs.

Entering the main hall, Xiao Jinyue took Baiguo to burn incense in front of the Buddha, kowtowed, knelt down, and silently informed the original owner of the matter in his heart.

"Second Miss Xiao, Li Wenhao's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, is dead, your great revenge will be avenged, I hope your soul can rest in peace. I have inherited your body, and I will do my best to treat your family well in the future. I hope you will let go of this life and be reincarnated into a happy family as soon as possible......"

After burning incense and bowing, Xiao Jinyue also donated a sum of sesame oil money to the temple, found another reason, opened the white fruit, and then found a monk to light an everlasting lamp for the original owner.

Pray that she will be reborn into a good family in the next life, open her eyes wide when she grows up, stay away from scumbags, find a man who is really good to her, and have children and grandchildren after marriage, and have no worries for a lifetime.

Although she couldn't make a noise, Xiao Jinyue still tried her best to do everything she could, only hoping that her prayers would really be useful to the original owner.

The matter is over, and Xiao Jinyue is in a much more relaxed mood.

It is difficult to come out of a trip, Xiao Jinyue took Bai Guo to take a good walk around Ciguang Temple, and after eating in the temple at noon, the two enjoyed the scenery along the back mountain of the temple.

It wasn't until the sunset began to go down that the two reluctantly got into the carriage and went back.

After entering the city, Xiao Jinyue saw that the street was bustling and lively, so he decided to take Baiguo to go shopping.

When it came to the busy street, the carriage was walking slowly, Xiao Jinyue simply took Baiguo to get out of the car, and walked slowly, and the coachman followed slowly with the carriage.

Passing by Fengxiang Pavilion, Xiao Jinyue walked in familiarly, and the shopkeeper had just finished sending off a guest, and when he saw her come in, he immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Girl, please, whatever you want."

It was not early, Xiao Jinyue didn't plan to stay longer, so she simply said directly, "Shopkeeper, I don't know if the pink purple begonia pearl head last time was sold, if it is still there, I want to buy it." ”

Before Xiao Jinyue accompanied her eldest sister Xiao Jinlan to Fengxiang Pavilion, she took a fancy to the set of noodles at a glance, but the shopkeeper asked for a full thousand taels. Thinking that her family was not wealthy, Xiao Jinlan didn't buy it in the end.

Now that Xiao Jinyue is not short of money, she plans to buy it and give it to her, so she will slowly help Xiao Jinlan save a little dowry.

The shopkeeper still has an impression of the set of head noodles, "The girl is late, and the head and face set was bought by that Miss He." ”

"Miss Ho? Is it He Wanying? Bai Guo had a bad impression of He Wanying, and her first reaction was her.

Palm nodded, "It's her." ”

He Wanying has always wanted to marry Li Wenhao, so she often goes to Fengxiang Pavilion to pick up jewelry, and the shopkeeper is very impressed by her.

The head and face were bought, Bai Guo was unhappy, and couldn't help muttering, "It seems that He Wanying still hates to marry, and she bought a thousand taels of head and face without blinking." ”

"It's not a thousand taels, it's a thousand three hundred taels." A young man next to him heard Bai Guo's muttering, and couldn't help but interject proudly.

He sold the head, which was three hundred taels higher than the shopkeeper's price, and he also received the owner's reward for it.
