27. The placement of the Zhen family's mother and daughter
Mrs. Zhen couldn't make up her mind for a while, hesitating and didn't know what to say, Yun Qing observed her words and looked at her feelings, and said thoughtfully: "Madam is a guest from afar, let's stay here first, let us do our best to be a landlord, and as for the future plans, you can consider it slowly." ”
Yuan Daochang said on the side: "You have come from afar, you are not familiar with the place, just listen to the Lord, although we are deserted here, there are still a few rooms, first live down and settle down, and when you are familiar with it later, you will not delay anything if you want to move away." ”
The host's family is very enthusiastic, Mrs. Zhen is over half a hundred years old, her own family is backward, she has seen a lot of warmth and coldness, and she cherishes the kindness of others, and she has traveled a long way to come here, and she originally had the idea of asking for shelter, so she agreed to come down, thanked Yunqing and others repeatedly, and Zhen Yinglian also saluted again and again.
Since then, Mrs. Zhen's mother and daughter have lived in the backyard of the Taoist temple.
Although Mrs. Zhen is now down, she was also a gentry class in her early years, and she was still very particular about rules and etiquette, she refused to live in vain, insisted on paying rent and food expenses, and had to work with her mother-in-law every day, or cleaning, or washing and cooking, how could she not be idle, and later saw other little girls follow Yuan Daochang to study, and also sent Zhen Yinglian, who always gave her a hand, over, maybe her life was stable, and the complexion of the mother and daughter was visibly better.
This year, Yunqing lived with Yu Daochang and them, although everyone has a difference in age, many concepts and ideas are different, but they are not difficult people to get along with, and they have been lively and lively for a year together, especially Zhen Yinglian, who is still a child, the smile on her face has not been broken, looking at her cheerful appearance, Yunqing and others also feel that they are in a very good mood, and they remember to give her New Year's money on the first day of the new year, and she is embarrassed to accept it, until Mrs. Zhen opened her mouth, she happily accepted it, and thanked everyone crisply.
After the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Zhen found Yunqing and Yuan Daochang, and said to Ai Ai: "Two Daoists, I want to go to the city to find a job to do, it's not very convenient to take Yinglian, can you let her continue to stay with you...... Don't worry, Yinglian is very obedient and sensible, and I will pay for the house and food, and I won't cause trouble to everyone......"
Yun Qing looked at the half-worn clothes on her body, and then thought about the daily expenses of their mother and daughter, knowing that they did not have enough money, she knew what she was thinking.
Although I appreciate Mrs. Zhen's self-reliance, she is in her fifties, and in this seventy-year-old era, she is still asked to work hard to earn money to support her family, Yun Qing really can't bear it, and gave her a suggestion: "My sister needs a reliable manpower, if Madam doesn't dislike it, you can help her......"
Where is Mrs. Zhen's picky qualifications now, she doesn't have much savings in her hands, she can't sit and eat empty, her eyes are not very good, she can't do embroidery to make money, and she doesn't have other skills, she originally thought that she could only find some sprinkling or pulping work, since Yun Daochang suggested that she go to her sister's house to work, then she will definitely not refuse, at least Yun Daochang's person will not pit her, she will take care of Yun Daochang's sister, even if she can't earn much money, just for the sake of her dedication, Yun Daochang can be a little better to Yinglian, then it will be worth it, so she agreed quickly.
Yunqing didn't know that Mrs. Zhen had misunderstood, she said that Yunxi lacked a reliable person, not that she lacked someone to take care of her, but that Yunxi's jade skin cream was too popular, originally she couldn't do much alone, but now she is pregnant again, and the output is lower, Lin Fu's shopkeeper urged her to expand production several times, she has already had the intention to hire two credible people to do some preliminary preparations, she only does some core parts, so that she is relaxed and can produce more, but she doesn't have many acquaintances, and she can't find anyone trustworthy for a while, The last time I saw Yun Qing, I was still talking about this matter, so when I saw that Mrs. Zhen wanted to find a job, Yun Qing immediately thought of this.
Although I didn't know that Mrs. Zhen wanted to be bad, but since she was willing, Yunqing wrote a letter of recommendation and asked her to take it to Yunxi, and Yunxi had already found a sister-in-law at this time, just one person was missing, she trusted Yunqing's vision very much, and immediately signed an employment agreement and confidentiality agreement with Mrs. Zhen, arranged a place for her to live, and after a little training for two days, she and the sister-in-law started to work.
Mrs. Zhen moved away, leaving Zhen Yinglian alone in the Taoist temple, she was restrained, cautious all day long, for fear of making people unhappy, and she was unusually diligent, competing to cook and wash clothes for Yu Daochang, Yu Daochang repeatedly told her that her mother had paid, she didn't eat and live for nothing, she didn't have to be so careful to please, it didn't have much effect, and then Yun Qing pretended to be angry, and said: "Are we the kind of wicked people who take other people's money and practice others?" Your mother paid for us to take care of you, but how can we explain to your mother because you are like this? ”
Zhen Yinglian is still a child, where can she tell that Yunqing is pretending to be angry, she was immediately frightened, she didn't know what to do, Yuan Daochang came out and comforted softly: "If you really want to help, just accompany us more, usually I teach things to learn hard, you are still young, even if you do things, you have to wait for a little older, now is the age to learn, don't live up to the good years, we are happy." ”
Zhen Yinglian doesn't understand well, but she is a little stupid, she always has infinite kindness to people, and is willing to give sincerely, her mother told her to listen to the words of the Taoist elders, and the Taoist elders asked her to study hard, then she just listened, and she didn't think about the excess!
The little girl actually likes to learn, especially reading and literacy, and once she devotes herself to learning, she is quite at the end of forgetting to sleep and eat, Yuan Daochang can't help but see the joy of hunting, and wants to accept her as a registered disciple, just wait for Mrs. Zhen to come back from vacation and mention it to her.
After the spring ploughing, Chen Qiushi came to report to Yunqing about his work in Jinling City: two hundred acres of wasteland has been opened, special fertilizer has been applied, and now rice has been planted, and attached to the details of all the expenses for inviting people to open up the wasteland and buy seeds.
On this day, Yun Qing was still learning to paint in color as usual, and Granny Yu came quickly and reported: "There is a man on horseback outside, saying that he is a servant of the old Lin family of the Taoist Chief, and he is in a hurry to see the Taoist ......."
Yun Qing was taken aback, she only received a letter from Jia Min half a month ago, the letter was all daily gossip, and there was nothing wrong with it, why did she suddenly send someone over?
