The long strips of cotton towels, which are about 20 centimeters long and about 10 centimeters wide, are repeatedly steamed at high temperatures and then dried in the courtyard.

It's winter season, but the weather is fine today, and it's still two or three hours before the sun sets, so I think it should be enough to dry.

At night, it is estimated that Xiao Sheizi will be able to change into this aunt towel, which is really a very happy thing, Xiao Shezi is so happy that she hides in the room and refuses to come out, and she does not participate in the drying of her aunt's towel.

Mother Wu and the dumb lady looked at these drying things with some puzzlement, when they helped cut and cook just now, they felt very distressed, but the good fabric was cut into this ghostly look, which is intolerable to any person with a conscience.

Distressed and inevitably curious, but Wu's mother abides by her duty and doesn't ask.

And the dumb lady doesn't speak, and she doesn't ask.

"Didn't Wang Shouren come today?"

"I came, and I learned that the lord went to the palace, and I sat and waited for a while, but I didn't see the lord come back and left again."

"Oh.."

Xia Yuan nodded, felt a little uncomfortable again, and thought about it and said, "Mother Wu, if you don't call me master in the future, I always feel awkward." ”

"What did the slave call you?"

"You call me young master, this is young."

Mother Wu is as good as a stream, "Young Master." ”

Xia Yuan felt quite comfortable with this title, and asked again: "Mother Wu, this house is full of calculations, you and the dumb lady are in charge, will you be too busy on weekdays?" ”

"The young master and the lady are both good people, they don't have any arrogance, and they don't say anything about treating us slaves who have signed a deed of sale, and they actually give them monthly money, and the slave family is a little tired and happy."

Actually?

Let the two words attract Xia Yuan's attention, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little shocked, "Isn't it supposed to send monthly money?" ”

Mother Wu seemed even more shocked, "Why did the young master say that?" ”

"Well, I see that other people's subordinates are paid every month."

"Young master, you said that it was a subordinate, and people naturally have wages at the moment."

"You're not a subordinate?"

"The young master laughed, the slave family and the dumb girl signed a deed of sale, how can they be subordinates, we are slaves."

"A slave is not the same as a subordinate?"

"It's different."

“....”

Xia Yuan held his chin thoughtfully, it was so complicated, who would have thought that the slave and the subordinate were not the same.

"In other words, the subordinate does not need to sign a deed of sale, is it hired?" He asked.

"Yes, the young master is a lifter, so he can buy slaves, and he has to put the rich man's family next to him, not an official body, and he has no fame, and he can only hire people if he has money."

"Oh..."

Xia Yuan suddenly wondered, no wonder when he went to Renyazi, the first thing the other party asked was whether he had a meritorious name, whether he was an official or not, it turned out that human trafficking in these years was not something that could be bought with money, and he had to have a meritorious name or an official body, so that he could be qualified to enslave others.

"So that means it's okay for a slave to be paid without pay?"

Mother Wu's expression was stunned, but she still forced a smile and continued to nod, "Yes." ”

"It's okay, you two don't have to be nervous, don't worry, I'll send you the monthly money as usual."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master..."Mother Wu thanked her repeatedly, although she sold herself to the Xia family, she was not without a home.

Signing that deed of sale was to earn the ten taels of silver so that the family could live, it was originally a hammer deal, but I didn't expect to have a salary every month, and the money earned every month could also be used to subsidize the family.

The dumb lady couldn't speak, but she also stretched out her hand and gestured, which seemed to mean thanks.

"No thanks, go about your business."

"Huh."

When Wu's mother turned around and walked out of the inner courtyard with the dumb girl, Xia Yuan's expression was a little unpleasant, damn it, she was pitted by that person's teeth.

He obviously wanted a subordinate at the beginning, but when he asked, he also said that he was a subordinate person, and finally bought two slaves and came back.

Obviously, the subordinate is hired, and he doesn't have to spend much money when he is hired, but he has to pay a monthly salary.

And the slave needs to spend ten or twenty taels of silver to buy the deed of sale, but this is a hammer deal, and when you buy it, you only need to take care of the food, give a place to live, and do not need to pay a salary.

As a result, he spent more than 30 taels of silver, not only for food and shelter, but also for a monthly salary, no wonder Wu Ma said that she was a good person.

Loss, loss.

I suffered a loss that I didn't understand the market.

Looking up at the sky, Xia Yuan smashed his mouth, turned around and entered the house with his hands behind his back.

In the room, Zhao Yuerong curled up on the bed and didn't know what he was doing.

Xia Yuan leaned over to take a look, "Asleep?" ”

"Nope."

"Angry?"

"Nope."

Xia Yuan took off his boots and lay down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled her twice, and finally simply took her into his arms, "Come, let my husband hug me and see what is going on with our little camelina." ”

At this time, the little camelina looked soft and fluffy, and there was a not-so-obvious flush on his face, Xia Yuan looked down and asked, "Shy?" ”

"Hmm."

"Just because of that gift for you?"

"Hmm."

Zhao Yuerong continued to nod, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "It's not right for the husband to do this. ”

"What's wrong?"

“.... Anyway, it's not right, it's a waste, such a good cloth turns out to be used to make that kind of thing...."As she spoke, her voice weakened, and her face turned red again.

"You don't understand, this kind of cloth is suitable for this kind of thing, and you will like it when you use it once."

Speaking of this, Xia Yuan thought of something again, "Oh, that kind of cloth is also very suitable for making another good thing." ”

“.........”

"Don't worry, the good thing that my husband said this time is clothes."

"Clothes?" The little camelina finally reacted now.

"Yes, and it's also intimate clothing, the cloth is soft and thick, just suitable for making a cover, definitely more comfortable than the belly pocket you are wearing now, but unfortunately the fabric is used up now, so you can only wait for tomorrow to do it."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan had already stretched out his hand, "Come, let's measure your size first." ”

Zhao Yuerong was about to die of shame, and protected it with his hands, "I don't!" ”

"Be obedient and let your husband measure it for you."
