Chapter 131: Receiving Work to Supplement the Family
The two of them said as they walked home.
It wasn't until they entered the door that a delicate little face peeked out from the mouth of the alley.
At this moment, the girl's little face was full of panic.
"Crescent, do you see clearly? Is that person Han Sijiang?! ”
The maid nervously probed her brain, "Miss, I'm ...... I look like him! ”
That height, that posture, even if it's a back and a side face, is very recognizable.
Sun Muwen's back was pressed against the wall, and she breathed heavily with her eyes glazed.
"How could it be Han Sijiang...... How did he end up here? ”
Crescent Moon nervously helped her, "Miss, why don't we go and ask directly!" ”
Sun Muwen shook her head, "Didn't you see that there was a woman next to him?" ”
Wanyue had a bitter face, "Miss, what should I do then......"
"Go back first, send someone over and ask what's going on!"
"Yes."
The master and servant didn't even bother to buy anything, so they hurriedly got into the carriage and went home.
Lin Yueru and Han Yanqing entered the house while talking.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lao Cheng at home.
The beds in the two rooms before were too shabby, and after Lao Cheng came to see them, he agreed to give them a new bed.
He's helping to bring the newly built wooden bed over today.
Lao Cheng is not a rich man, and the wooden bed is not exquisite, but Han Lao Er tried it very steadily, so he let people move in.
Lin Yueru happened to ask him: "Uncle, why is the family in the front yard so bad?" I have to take a beating when I talk to her back, and those who don't know think that our family has offended her. ”
Lao Cheng scratched his head.
laughed awkwardly: "Her family is not easy to get along with, probably not for you, anyway, you just don't get along with them." ”
Lin Yueru was stunned.
She thought about it for a while, and said suspiciously: "Uncle Cheng, could it be against you?" ”
Lao Cheng was even more embarrassed and nodded silently.
When he used to live here, his daughter-in-law and his wife quarreled a lot with the front yard.
Part of the reason why their family has decided not to live here is because they don't fit in with the front yard.
Even though their house has been rented out to the outside world now, none of the front yards have a good face for their tenants.
Lin Yueru: They weren't the first people to tell him about it.
Lin Yueru really didn't expect that there would be such a relationship, and she didn't have much to say.
It's a big deal not to interact with the front yard.
After all, the root of this matter is not with them, and they can't fix it even if they want to.
What's more, it's just a neighborhood relationship.
If it's not good, it's not good.
How many families do they live together, and there is still a lack of this neighbor?
Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Lao Cheng left in a hurry after solving the bed matter.
Mrs. Han said that she wanted to keep him for a meal, but he didn't stay.
Now that several families have just moved over, the things on the stove are not very complete, and they are still eating a big pot of rice together for the time being.
Every meal was made by Song Lian with Chen and Liu Qiumei, and the ingredients for cooking were shared equally by several families.
When I was cooking, I was talking lively, but I didn't feel tired.
During the meal, everyone is crowded into a room, and if there is really no place to eat, they stand with a bowl to eat, and the room where they talk and laugh is even more lively.
After eating, most of the family members went out into the streets.
Everyone is idle, and no one wants to eat at home like this.
Since I don't farm anymore, I have to find some work to do.
and the women were not idle.
Either do the work at home, or go to the streets to see if there is an opportunity to do the work.
It's winter, and it's hard to find a man's job.
The first to bring back the good news was actually Liu Qiumei.
They have often been on the street for the past two days, and they have actually found a little wayway.
They really got some embroidery work.
However, the main family also has requirements.
The first batch of embroidery can only be regarded as a trial craft.
If the embroidery is good, you can still take the work in the future, if the embroidery is not good, it will be in vain.
Liu Qiumei and Hui Niang got together and worked very energetically.
The old man grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand and walked over to take a look.
As soon as he saw the style of Hui Niang's embroidery, he was happy.
Pointing to the top, he said, "Embroidered like this, still counting on selling for money?" ”
Hui Niang's face was red when he said it.
But then, I was a little unconvinced.
"Old man, do you still understand this?"
The old man sighed twice, "I've seen it." ”
Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Then you give them some pointers." ”
The old man didn't speak, but stood aside and watched.
Liu Qiumei and Hui Niang simply ignored him and went on to do their own work.
After the old man looked at it for a while, he couldn't hold his breath at first.
Shang pointed to a pattern of Liu Qiumei: "Your pattern is too old, this is all fashionable in the past two years, you have to pick it up here to look good." ”
Liu Qiumei was a little angry when she saw the old man pointing at first.
Seeing that the old man was serious, she calmed down and listened to a few words.
After listening to it like this, I realized that there was really some truth.
Liu Qiumei silently changed it according to the old man's words.
Unexpectedly, it actually looks much better than before.
At this time, Hui Niang also took the initiative to hold her embroidery in front of the old man and asked him for guidance.
The old man didn't hide his secrets, took it and looked at it, and carefully said a few things that needed to be improved.
Hui Niang listened more carefully.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, she started to improve.
Lin Yueru watched from the side and couldn't help asking, "Old man, aren't you Langzhong?" How do you understand this? ”
Although she doesn't know how to embroider, you can see from the old man's words and Liu Qiumei's improvement after his guidance that he really is not talking nonsense.
The old man snorted, a little disapproving.
"I've seen a lot, so I naturally understand a little more."
"So what did you do before?" Lin Yueru took the opportunity to ask.
The old man glanced at her and didn't squeak.
Lin Yueru was happy and didn't ask again.
In short, the old man is definitely not an ordinary person.
He didn't want to say, so forget it.
She didn't understand these embroiderers, and after looking at them for a while, she felt bored, so she went out into the street by herself.
It's cold outside.
In addition, it was the time to eat, and there were obviously a lot fewer people on the street than before.
Lin Yueru was thinking about making money.
Although their old Han family now has a few hundred taels of silver.
But just like Mrs. Han said, if there is no new entry, it will be a matter of time before you sit and eat empty.
And relying on Liu Qiumei and them to embroider handkerchiefs, or relying on the brothers of the Han family to sell coolies like Tuesday cattle, they can't make any money.
What's more, they are still thinking about letting An Jun, An Xing and Sanbao go to the academy in the future.
The cost is even greater, and it costs dozens of taels just to go to the school a year.
Lin Yueru thought about it and felt that no matter what era it was, it was still the fastest way to make money in business.
She had to investigate what business was good to do in Jiangdu first.
