At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 262
Naturally, Gao Shilian's house is far less spacious and comfortable than the Changsun Mansion, with only two entrances, front and back. However, it is still possible to allocate three rooms for Changsun Wuji and Gao's mother and daughter. Now Changsun Wugou lives in the attic in the backyard Gao lived on the lower floor of the attic.

The area of ​​the attic is not big, estimated to be less than ten square meters, but after the arrangement by Zhangsun Wugou's skillful hands, it is warm and comfortable. There is also a wooden shelf specially nailed outside the window sill, and some flowers and plants are planted, which makes this dilapidated building more comfortable. The small attic adds a lot of color.

At this time, Changsun Wugou was sitting quietly by the window, earnestly embroidering a picture of "Eight Horses", and the Eight Horses had already got five horses, all of which were in different shapes and were so lifelike that it was amazing.

Needlework is a must-have craft for women in the ancient boudoir, because the wedding dresses to be married must be made one by one by themselves, so needlework is also called female red. Obviously, Changsun Wugou's female red is very high. Even if it is not at the level of a master, there is not much difference. Women with a heart are generally dexterous, and Changsun Wugou is like this.

It is said that since the death of his father, the eldest grandson, Anye, the eldest grandson Anye has controlled the financial power of the family, and the monthly expenses of Gao's mother and daughter have to go through the hands of the housekeeper, Zhou Fugui. Shangsun Anye originally intended to drive away Gao's mother and son in order to achieve the goal of monopolizing the family property, so he instructed the housekeeper to deliberately delay and even withhold the monthly payment.

Rather than being manipulated by others, it is better to find another way out, so the eldest grandson Wugou came up with the idea of ​​self-reliance, and as a boudoir girl who has never left her home, there are not many ways to make money, and being a female celebrity is undoubtedly the best. Good choice, so a few months ago, Changsun Wugou started to do embroidery and netting, etc. After several months of hard work, he finally accumulated five embroidery and six netting.

At the beginning, Changsun Wugou still had some scruples. After all, Changsun's family is also a big family. As a lady, if this kind of businessman's cheap business is spread, it will undoubtedly lose its value. The key point is that she is still worried about Changsun Anye He will use this to make a big fuss and scold her for embarrassing the eldest grandson's family.

After being kicked out of the house yesterday, the eldest grandson Wugou naturally lost such scruples, moreover, living in her uncle's house has already caused troubles for her uncle, if she spends money on food and clothing at the uncle's house again, how can she feel at ease?So I made up my mind to support myself and earn some money to help my family.

Today, Changsun Wugou asked the servant girl, Shishu, to sell the five pieces of embroidery and six nets she had accumulated. She was very confident in her skills, but it was the first time that this girl, Shishu, had done such a thing. I don't know if I can sell it.

"Girl, girl!" The attic stairs were still ringing, and the servant's happy voice came up first.

Happiness is contagious, Changsun Wugou guessed that the item must have been sold as soon as he heard it, he couldn't help but happily put down the work at hand and stood up. Excitedly said: "Girl, everything is sold, hee hee, guess how much the servant girl sold in total?"

The eldest grandson Wugou closed those beautiful eyes, tilted his pretty face as if thinking, then smiled and said: "Two thousand coins, it can't be more."

The waiter chuckled and said, "Miss guessed wrong this time, and sold a total of 480 Wen. Hey, miss, look, it's a silver coin."

The waiter took out the ingot of silver and held it in his palm triumphantly.Changsun Wugou was startled, and said in a broken voice: "So much?" Hastily took the ingot of silver, weighed it, then cut off a corner with scissors, found that the silver was indeed real, he was relieved.

The servant said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, the real money and the fake money, the servant girl can still get it."

The eldest grandson Wugou covered her cheeks with her hands, her eyes were full of disbelief. She had already planned to be slaughtered as a fat sheep. After all, it is normal to lose money when doing business for the first time. Let’s just accumulate some experience. No loss, excluding the cost of materials, the net profit was more than half.

"Shishu, you are so amazing, how did you sell it?" The eldest grandson Wugou was very surprised and very excited. She never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, and she didn't care about money. Since her father passed away, Only then did she gradually realize the importance of money, and this money was earned by her stitches and stitches, which was of great significance, not to mention how happy she was.

The waiter proudly said: "The servant girl has found many cloth shops in Nanshi to ask about the price, but those shopkeepers are very snobbish and philistine, probably think that the servant girl is easy to deceive and the price is too low to bully others, so the maidservant stopped selling it in a fit of anger. , was planning to visit Beishi when a big sister stopped the servant girl suddenly..."

Shi Shu eloquently narrated what had happened, Changsun Wugou was startled after hearing this, Dai Mei frowned slightly, she, Lan Xinhui, was not as easy to deceive as Shi Shu, in her opinion, this matter It's too incredible. Although there are many kind-hearted people in the world, no one's money comes from the wind. The eldest sister bought everything and paid several times the high price. Monster!

"Girl, what's the matter?" the waiter asked suspiciously.

"Then what's the name of the eldest sister? How old is she? How does she look and dress?" Eldest grandson Wugou asked carefully.

The waiter opened his mouth wide and said in a broken voice: "The servant girl was happy for a while, but she forgot to ask the eldest sister's name. She is probably 30 years old. She is dressed in red and looks pretty."

Changsun Wugou helplessly poked the maidservant's forehead and said angrily, "You silly girl!"

The waiter stuck out his tongue, and said embarrassedly: "Then...the servant girl will ask her name next time!"

"And next time?" Wugou became even more suspicious after growing up.

The waiter smiled and said: "The eldest sister is from Kaibuzhuang. She said that your embroidery, girl, is fine and can be resold at a good price. She said that she will ask for as much embroidery as you have in the future, hee hee. In the future, the girl's embroidery The female red would not worry about selling it. By the way, the elder sister gave five taels of silver, and the maid did not have enough money to find her, so she said that there was no need to look for it, and it was regarded as a deposit, so that the maid would go to Chunhuafang to find it in the future. What about her?"

Changsun Wugou dispelled some doubts when he heard the words, because from the tone of voice, this eldest sister is a businessman, and it makes sense to package and buy things when she finds a profit, but since it is a business, who doesn't want to earn more?It is really unreasonable to spend several times the price for something that can be bought at a low price.

"Secretary, next time you want to ask the elder sister's name, you'd better find out where her cloth shop is. Also, don't go with her to places where there are few people. I always think this is weird." Wugou reminded.

The servant nodded and said: "You can save it, girl, don't worry, that eldest sister doesn't look like a bad person."

"Stupid girl, the bad guy didn't chisel words on his forehead, be careful to count the money for someone after being sold." Changsun Wugou said angrily.

The servant sticks out her tongue, she thinks it's not worth it, because a girl like her can buy one in the countryside for a few thousand coins, so it's not worth the trouble.

The eldest grandson Wugou put away the silver and continued to do her needlework. After a few stitches, she looked out of the window thoughtfully, and thought to herself, "Erlang didn't do this, did he? He saw that I refused to move to his house." live in his house, and Yu Zao changed his way to help?"

The more Changsun Wugou thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. According to what she knew about Li Shimin, this guy could really do it. He has both great wisdom and cleverness. Gao Changqing's invitation, did you go to Li Jing's house as a guest?How could he have time to do this kind of thing, probably not him, maybe Shi Shu, a silly girl, is a fool, and she really met a good person.

By the way, I don't know if Gao Changqing found the bookmark in the "Langa Sutra". It's all because of my carelessness.
When Changsun Wugou thought of the bookmark he had carelessly left behind in the Buddhist scriptures, his face immediately became hot and restless, and he accidentally pricked his finger, and the blood beads immediately dyed a bright flower on the pure white silk. Plum blossoms come.

Changsun Wugou looked at the plum blossom on the silk, and his cheeks burned more and more, so he had to leave his sewing and read "Women's Training" to calm his mood.

The effect of "Women's Training" is undoubtedly remarkable. After reading a few articles, my eldest grandson regained her dignified appearance and continued to do her needlework.
