Chapter Eighty-Three: A Way to Live
Qiao Wan looked at Ziyun's smiling face in front of her in a daze, she had been in the bandit village for so long, and she could already clearly distinguish the kindness and malice of others.
At this moment, she could clearly feel the pure kindness of the other party from Ziyun, but even so, she still couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Flower workshop, flower dew workshop?
She confirmed again in a trembling voice: "Girl, do we really only need to go to the flower workshop and the flower dew workshop to work, and we won't be sold into the green house?" ”
"Phew!" Ziyun immediately got angry when he heard this, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside, my son-in-law also needed to recruit women from Kuncheng to come to the workshop to help." It's just that I happen to know about you, so I want to help. ”
After receiving Ziyun's affirmative answer, Qiao Wan's tears suddenly rolled down from her eyes.
She was born in a merchant, and her father and mother were the only children in the family. Her father loves her, and in order to make her have a better life in the future, she has been raised as a boy since she was a child, hoping that she can inherit the family business in the future.
So even though Qiao Wan looks weak on the outside, her temperament is actually very tough.
In the past, when she was in the bandit village, she could not hold back her cry after encountering so many disgusting things, and she could even protect the young Yaoyao from being ruined by those wicked people.
But at this moment, she really couldn't hold back her tears.
Not only her, but the rest of the people who heard Ziyun's words also burst into tears, and even the most indifferent looking girl in the carriage before had red eyes.
Ziyun had never experienced such a thing, and in the face of a group of girls who had had a miserable experience, she immediately panicked, and stepped forward to comfort everyone at a loss:
"Don't cry, the work that Childe arranged for you is actually not tired, and you have at least three times a month! Childe also said that he would build a staff dormitory for you, so that you can have a place to live together. If you really don't want to stay and want to go home, Childe will help you find your family. ”
"No need." The charming woman, that is, Ye Xi'an, suddenly stood up, "Our people here have either been killed by the mountain bandits, or they have been abandoned by their families. If Childe doesn't dislike it, we are willing to stay in her workshop for the rest of our lives. ”
Ziyun looked at the woman's determined expression, and knew that they were crying probably not because they were worried about their lives in the workshop.
She sighed, "I know, I'll go tell Childe." Don't worry, as long as you work hard in the workshop, you will have a good life in the future! ”
These women just smiled when they heard this, they didn't ask for a good life, they just wanted to live like a person in the future.
One of them silently wept and buried his head in the arms of the person next to him: "If only Xiaofu waited a little longer, she would be able to wait like us until the son appeared." ”
Ziyun was stunned, she knew that "Xiaofu" was the girl who was forced by her parents to die at the yamen.
……
When Ziyun returned to the inn, Su Hengyu was counting the money he had left.
Originally, she planned to do the workshop later, but now that this group of girls appeared, she had to advance this matter a little earlier.
She needs to calculate the amount of money needed for the workshop, then buy flowers locally and start making dried flowers.
There has been news from the capital that Su Hengyu's glass workshop has made a batch of instruments that can be used to make flower dew according to her needs.
Flower dew is the perfume of Dawei at this time.
There are not many people in Dawei who are capable in this way, and there are only a few flower dews that can be said to be famous.
A few years ago, a vassal state in the south presented a few bottles of rose dew to Emperor Wei, which immediately won the love of the queen and several favored concubines.
Since then, Rose Dew has opened a channel in Dawei, and until now it occupies the top spot of Dawei Flower Dew.
As far as Su Hengyu knows, a bottle of rose flower dew in the capital can buy at least one hundred taels!
With such a big profit, there is no reason for her not to get a piece of the pie.
Just as Su Hengyu was thinking about how to teach people how to make flower dew, Ziyun entered her room with a sad and tired face.
Su Hengyu looked at it and immediately smiled. She knows how much this little girl loves to laugh on weekdays, and she wants Su Hengyu to say that she is just like the kind of puppy called Samoyed in the modern world, and she is happy all day long.
Seeing Ziyun's deflated appearance at first glance, Su Hengyu immediately became curious: "What's the matter, are you tired of helping me settle those women today?" ”
Ziyun shook his head: "It's not true, it's just that I'm a little sad after hearing what happened to those girls." ”
"Childe, you don't know, after those girls were taken captive to the mountains, they didn't have enough food and clothing all day long, and they were locked up in a room without seeing light every day, and they were also given by those mountain bandits...... Many of the girls were sick, and some of them were even more injured. One of the girls was only twelve years old, and if it weren't for the other girls' protection, I am afraid that she would have been ...... by the mountain bandits."
Ziyun's eyes turned red again, and she went to ask the mother-in-law who helped these girls take a bath, and the mother-in-law said that many of them barely had a piece of good meat on them.
Ziyun grew up in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, and even if she was not valued by the other party when she was transferred to the eldest lady's side at the beginning, she was never hungry.
For her in the past, the cold without charcoal fire in winter was already the biggest suffering she had suffered. She had no idea that there would be a girl in this world who would suffer like this.
After listening to her words, Su Hengyu reached out and touched her head: "Don't be sad, now they have left that place." I would ask a doctor to treat them, and I would also provide them with food and shelter. In the future, they will live well in the sun, and spend their days with flowers. ”
Ziyun gave Su Hengyu a "hmm" with a thick nasal voice, and the master and servant were silent for a moment and changed the topic tacitly.
In fact, not only these more than 20 girls, but also the dead girl, Su Hengyu also brought them back.
She found a cemetery for the other party, and planned to bury the other party in the mountain she had just bought.
The scenery there is very good, and I hope this little girl will have a good life in the next life.
The flower workshop needs to be built first, and Su Hengyu also plans to build the staff dormitory in the workshop.
After all, her workshop is all done by girls, and the staff dormitory is built outside, in case someone breaks into the place where the girls live, the consequences are unimaginable.
Su Hengyu, the address of the workshop, had long been optimistic, and she was very glad that she had done a few businesses before, and now she was sent a month's dividend to her in the capital.
Chaozhu City also sent the first proceeds from the sale of salt, and Su Hengyu's originally tight pockets immediately bulged again.
Only then did she dare to take those girls over directly, and even had the confidence to build a workshop.
However, in addition to the workshop, Su Hengyu, the steward, also needs to be found.
She thought that the flower workshop would not be much bigger for the time being, and that these twenty-eight girls would be enough for the time being. Anyway, these girls are doing the work together, so it's better to choose a steward from among them, take them with you to teach, and when the workshop is completed, you can go directly to work.
Thinking of this, Su Hengyu immediately took action, she instructed Ziyun to bring a stack of papers, wrote some questions on it, and planned to hold a simple exam among them when the girls were well-healed.
As soon as the news reached the ears of the girls, it immediately caught their attention.
