Xue'er cautiously looked at the situation in the courtyard, looking left and right, it was all women, and there was not a single man in sight, and the soldiers who led them into the courtyard did not follow.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sisters, how long have you been here?" ”

Eighteen women thought for a moment: "How many days, how many months?" I didn't do the math carefully. ”

Xue'er said in a low voice: "Did the master who bought you come back...... That's it...... Pampering the beautiful among you? ”

"There is no such thing." The women all laughed: "After the master bought us back, he has been living here, providing us with food and silk spinning, and then he has been busy suppressing bandits." ”

Xue'er and Chen Yuanyuan glanced at each other, both surprised.

Xue'er asked again, "Does the master allow you to go out?" ”

"Of course." One woman said, "You can go out at any time." ”

Cher: "I saw someone guarding the courtyard gate. ”

Woman: "That's to protect us, this compound is full of women, if you come in, the consequences will be unimaginable, so the master hired a guard to guard the courtyard and guard the gate, but they just don't let outsiders in, but they don't let us out." ”

"yes." Another woman said, "I went out yesterday to buy a piece of cloth. ”

"You tell the big brother who guards the door, and you can go out casually."

Xue'er and Chen Yuanyuan were a little shocked when they heard this.

I thought it would be difficult to escape when the move was over, but I didn't expect that I could go out casually here?

With a feeling of disbelief, the girls were led to the rooms where they were going to live temporarily, and they were all uniformly arranged, with ordinary beds, ordinary tables, and all kinds of living utensils.

It's not luxurious, it's a little more low-grade than the things they use in the pear orchard. However, these household utensils are provided in all aspects, and they are all available, showing that the people who prepared these things for them have put their hearts into it.

It's not the style of perfunctory, just arranging a place for you to live and leaving it alone.

The details are impressive!

The girls in Qinglou, who are accustomed to seeing high-ranking officials and ghosts, wealthy businessmen and high-rollers, understand a truth very well, a rich man throws one or two hundred taels of silver on her, which is nothing, for them one or two hundred taels of silver is not money, but a toy thrown away.

But let them be attentive to you...... That's going to be hard.

Chen Yuanyuan said in a low voice: "Sister Xue'er, the accommodation that this monster arranged for us was actually done with intention, and it didn't just throw us here." ”

Xue'er also nodded, feeling a little relieved: "This place is really weird, and let's see when that monster will come, let's deal with it carefully." ”

The two of them were careful...... Just be careful for a long, long time......

As the days passed, the "monsters" did not come to patronize this big mansion at all, and the women in the house lived very comfortably.

Every day, they are provided with food and living utensils, and they don't need to serve anyone, and they don't need to give anyone to accompany the smiling face.

It's just that there is no silver flower, which is a problem!

But soon, a large number of looms were delivered, and those who were willing to work could raise silkworm babies, spin yarn, and weave a few silks, and they would have a very good wage.

Of course, this salary is really nothing to the girls in the Qinglou. They used to deal with dignitaries and nobles, and the reward they received was a large ingot of silver casually.

Some girls were not happy to do these things, so they were idle.

No one cares about them, just let them be idle.

But Cher couldn't stay idle.

It turned out that before she was sold into the pear orchard, her family was raising silkworms, and there were mulberry trees in the yard. It was only later that her parents died of illness and the property was taken away by relatives, so she was left in the pear orchard, and now when she sees these things when she was a child, she can't help but be moved, and she runs to raise silkworm babies with the eighteen women, and she is very happy.

The evening of the day......

Xue'er and Chen Yuanyuan were chatting in the house: "I don't know when that monster will come, I am worried every day, alas! ”

As I was here, I heard the girls outside commotion: "Master Shi is here." ”

Xue'er and Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly ran out, and saw Shi Kefa and the "monster" walking into the courtyard side by side.

The hearts of the two of them tightened: Oops, what should have come is still coming.

The two hid in the crowd and peeked quietly.

I only heard Shi Kefa say: "Ladies and gentlemen, after some days of consideration, the official decided to turn this big mansion into a workshop. ”

Girls: "Huh? What workshop? ”

Shi Kefa said: "Anqing Yingjiang Sericulture Cooperative. ”

Girls: "??? ”

Shi Kefa said: "As the name suggests, the cooperative will be divided into five departments in the future: 'mulberry planting', 'silkworm raising', 'silk reeling', 'weaving', and 'dyeing and finishing'. ”

"All the girls have been here for a long time, and those who are willing to join the sericulture cooperative, as long as they sign up for the name of the department, they will be directly transferred to the corresponding department, and after the cooperative officially starts, they will work in the department and get the corresponding salary."

The eighteen women who had been robbed by the pirates immediately cheered, this was the best arrangement for them, and there was no reason to be unhappy. Almost all of the eighteen people were thinking about which department they were going to enter.

And the girls in the Qinglou are much calmer, and this job is a little embarrassing for them.

So they are not in a hurry to take a stand.

But seeing Shi Kefa turn his head to look at them, a smile appeared on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can write and calculate, read and break words, chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, poetry and lyrics, almost everything, if you do what the official just said, it will be a bit of a waste of your talent." After thinking about it carefully, if a large number of female workers in the cooperative were to be managed by a male shopkeeper in the future, there would be some inappropriateness...... You get the idea. ”

Of course, the girls in Qinglou understand that a man with power will want to use his power to get a woman, even if it is just a small cooperative shopkeeper, he will also want to use his power to sleep with a female worker.

Shi Kefa said: "Therefore, this official wants to make a bold attempt this time, and all the management personnel of the cooperative will use women to serve as women." ”

Girls: "Huh? ”

Shi Kefa: "As for managers, they must be able to write, write, write, and deal with various departments such as commercial banks and freight forwarding, and have certain social skills. After thinking about it, the most suitable one is you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the girls in the Qinglou were taken aback: "We? ”
