The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the first to enter the courtyard, the five little girls, Mo Zhu, Mo Mei, Mo Ran, Mo Lan, and Mo Ju, had already organized the registration of slaves for the reading class.

A little maid named Mian Mian works in the laundry room.Because of her thin stature and a birthmark on her face, she has been discriminated against and bullied by people around her.

She is 13 years old this year, but she looks as thin as a ten-year-old child. That day, she heard that Eunuch Qin in the front yard came to inform her that she was going to the reading class, so she gave her a breakfast.

A few laundry ladies around me were not interested in learning Chinese characters, and they didn't think it was necessary, but Mian Mian was hungry, and she couldn't get enough to eat. When she heard that there was a breakfast, she wanted to go anyway.Eunuch Little Qin said that whoever wants to go can go, and no one can stop him.

Cotton woke up before dawn this morning. After washing her face, she hesitated in the clean water room for a while, and finally gave up and ran outside.

When she was going out, another washerwoman behind her taunted her: "Oh, look at you, don't stain your eyes by going in front of the nobleman. Can you read? It's up to you, do you still want to be able to read?"

Regardless of the cotton, she thought, if she was driven back, she would not be afraid, at worst, she would clean the toilet in the future, which would not be much worse than the laundry room, and it would be even better if she could have a breakfast.

Cotton secretly ran to Wufangzhai, which was the largest and most luxurious yard in the backyard of East Road. She came to the mansion when she was eight years old, and she hadn't been there once in five years.It is also good to have knowledge in the past.

But no matter how careful she was, she still met many people on the road, including girls from the dining room and people from the sewing room.Everyone looked anxious, hesitating whether they should go or not.

Before they arrived at Wufangzhai, a few Huang Menlang from the front yard stood on the side of the road and asked, "How many sisters are going to the reading class? Go quickly! Breakfast will be sold out." !"

When the little girls heard this, they hurried to Wufangzhai.

When Wufangzhai first entered the yard, many people were already bustling with each other, all queuing up.There are five tables in front, and five beautifully dressed maids are sitting behind them, writing something with a pen.

Mian Mian saw a maid named Xing Yu, who was in charge of sweeping the garden, and the two entered the mansion in the same batch, so she trotted over.

"Sister Xingyu, what are you doing?"

Xing Yu was taken aback when she saw Mian Mian, mainly because she hadn't seen her for a long time. She pointed to the front and said, "Queue up, after memorizing your name, you can get sweet bean paste buns and eggs!"

"There are sweet bean paste buns and eggs?!" Cotton excitedly.

Xingyu nodded and laughed excitedly.Although the maids of the palace are decent when they say it, no matter how decent they are, they are not as respectable as those who do rough work.

Mo Zhu and the others registered very quickly, and soon it was Cotton's turn.

Mian Mian was a little afraid that she would see the birthmark on her face, so she tilted her head slightly, trying to cover it up.But Mo Zhu just glanced at it, didn't say anything, just asked: "What's your name, what do you do?"

"My servant's name is Cotton, and she's in the laundry room."

Mo Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard about the laundry room, and he said with a smile, "Yo! A laundry room finally came!" Then, while lowering his head and writing Mian Mian's name, he asked chattingly, "Did your stewardess stop you?" bring it on?"

"No." Mian Mian hurriedly shook her head.

"Then why are you here alone?" Mo Zhu asked.

"It's just that the other sisters and mothers don't think it's necessary to read and write." Mian Mian said.

Mo Zhu said: "Then you have to study hard, and when you learn it, you will be reused by the concubine, and show it to your sisters, they will know the benefits."

After finishing speaking, he handed Ms. Mian a small burlap bag with a stone slab and a stone pen in it, and a small wooden sign carved with plum blossoms, and said, "Go to Erjin's yard and have breakfast, hurry up." Alright, class is about to start."

There is a round door between the first entrance and the second entrance courtyard. Yushu and Yuqin are full of displeasure. They are actually arranged here to distribute boiled eggs and bean paste buns to this group of maids and women who came to the reading class!They, they are the first-class girls around Shizi!

However, the prince is not in the mansion now, they dare not disobey the concubine.

But, but... This is too wronged!
But no one cares whether they are wronged or not. Those who have received eggs and bean paste buns can exchange the plum blossom wooden sign in their hands for a bowl of soy milk or a bowl of millet porridge.

In the main hall, the six concubines from Jinxiu Pavilion were all present.When everyone entered the door early in the morning, they found that the place was lively, and everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Shizifei's gourd.

In fact, Song Qingyue didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to promote basic education. Of course, popularizing basic education is the ultimate ideal. Right now, she can only try it out on a small scale in her own home.

She is not short of money, and she is idle when she is idle. Anyway, it is her own home, but she can work hard.If there is a mess, wait for Li Zhao to come back and tell him to clean up the mess.

Otherwise, wouldn't there be a nanny Yu?
Song Qingyue could tell that the old woman was a typical person with a strong desire for power, so it would not be impossible to give Nanny Yu an expenditure budget in the future, and let Nanny Yu take care of the backyard.As a boss with a net worth of millions of taels, Song Qingyue believed that she had the right to hire a professional housekeeper to take care of the housework for her.

If she had to bother herself to take care of the housework, even thinking of Mrs. Liang's daily reading of the account books, she would be too social.

What do you want an accountant to do?
She has already thought about it, after these girls have read the characters, see if there are any with a particularly bright mind, and pick them out to help her settle accounts.

Of course, she didn't want to replace the accountant of the palace, but wanted to set up an auditing department.The properties she owns need this too.

You can't just have accounting without auditing.

"Concubine Shizi!" Bai Momo cleared her throat, and reminded Song Qingyue, who was so absorbed in thinking about things, that the six concubines still kept their semi-squatting postures and didn't dare to get up.

Everyone thought that the concubine Shizi was trying to torture them on purpose, but Nanny Bai guessed what Song Qingyue was probably thinking and lost her mind.

"Ah!" Song Qingyue came back to her senses, seeing the six beauties squatting in front of her, with constipated expressions on their faces, she quickly waved: "Get up and sit down."

Her tone was very casual, but she was neither majestic nor friendly. The six concubines couldn't tell whether they were happy or unhappy now. Everyone was still confused and couldn't figure out the attitude of the mistress.

Song Qingyue didn't talk nonsense, and first asked a question that no one had thought of: "How much is the monthly salary of the prince's concubine?"

The six concubines were stunned by the question of the concubine, and no one dared to answer first, but it was the young eunuch Qin who was on the side who said: "If you go back to the concubine, it is currently 15 two months. The standard of food is daily. Three meals, four dishes and one soup each, two meat and two vegetables."

"No snacks?" Song Qingyue asked.

Eunuch Xiao Qin smiled: "Returning to the concubine, there is no snack in the concubine's duty."

Song Qingyue asked again: "Where are the clothes?"

Little Qin Gonggong said: "Three horses of clothing material per season."

I didn't say what kind of material it is, which means that there is no regulation on the material of the material.

"Charcoal fire?" Song Qingyue asked.

Little Qin Gonggong said: "The supply of charcoal fire in winter is from November to February, sixty catties of carbon per month."

Song Qingyue looked at Yan and asked, "Yan Jiuwan, what kind of carbon did you use last winter?"

Yan Jiuwan did not expect that Song Qingyue would directly call her name, stood up and answered honestly: "My concubine has five catties of silver thread charcoal, ten catties of silver frost charcoal, twenty catties of red snail charcoal, and the rest is smoke. carbon."

Song Qingyue looked at Little Eunuch Qin with a half-smile, and said, "Your Highness is stingy enough!"

Little Qin Eunuch laughed dryly: "The concubine Shizi was joking. Your Highness is busy with everything, so how can he care about these trivial matters. It's just that the servants' mansion gave them according to the old rules. It's like this in every prince's mansion."

Song Qingyue snorted, fanned it twice with a folding fan, and said, "You are all stupid, so you don't know how to make a pipe to let the smoke out? Half of it is soot, who are you going to choke to death?"

"Damn the servants, the brains of the servants are not as smart as the imperial concubine, hehehe." Little Qin Eunuch spared no effort to flatter Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue seemed to remember something, and asked, "Is there an earth dragon in my room?"

Eunuch Little Qin nodded hastily: "Your Highness knows that you are afraid of the cold, and before you entered the mansion last winter, you ordered someone to plate an earth dragon in Wufangzhai to keep you warm!"

The six concubines who had little chance to meet Li Zhao looked at Song Qingyue with envy and jealousy.

Song Qingyue was still not in a hurry to say what they were called for. Although she asked about their treatment, she didn't say that she wanted to improve their quality of life. She looked a little hot and very irritable. , Hurry up and increase the intensity of fanning her.

"Let's set the meal first, the six of you are welcome, let's eat together."

The main reason is that the breakfast meal for the imperial concubine is too rich, and Song Qingyue can't eat it by herself.Several concubines sat down apprehensively, one of them, surnamed Shen, sat down, then stood up suddenly, walked up to Song Qingyue, and said respectfully: "This concubine serves the concubine's meal."

As soon as she said that, the other five put down their chopsticks. Song Qingyue slapped the fan twice impatiently, closed the folding fan with a bang, nodded the lower seat, and said, "I don't need you to serve me. Sit back, don't wait." Come near me, I will lose my appetite."

Shen was terribly embarrassed by Song Qingyue's choking.

Everyone had the same idea in their hearts, this concubine is really powerful enough, she didn't even hide her dislike for the concubine's house at all, she didn't even bother to pretend.

A breakfast meal was quickly used up, and no one spoke.

Song Qingyue didn't have a great appetite, she couldn't eat after just a little bit, but she drank two cups of weak tea instead.

After breakfast was withdrawn, Song Qingyue opened her mouth and said, "Yan Jiuwan can write, right?"

Yan stood up to bless her, and said, "I will."

Song Qingyue hummed: "Did the family teach you how to settle accounts?"

Yan said: "I have seen my aunt before and counted a few times."

Song Qingyue asked the other five people: "Can you know how to write?"

The Wei family, Zhou family, and Shen family are the same as the Yan family. The father and brother who are officials in the family present their daughters' names to the clan mansion. In the family.So all four of them can write.

The Xue family and the Shan family were from poorer backgrounds. They were born as maids in the palace of Concubine Meng Shu, and they were given to Li Zhao because of their beauty.

The two stood up in embarrassment, Xue blushed and said, "I can't write."

Shan Shi also lowered her head and said, "Neither can I."

Song Qingyue nodded, pointed to the word recognition class outside, and asked: "The word recognition class is outside, and Mo Yun is the one who teaches word recognition. She is my close-knit girl since she was a child. Do you want to go out and learn with me?"

Xue looked at Song Qingyue in surprise with her mouth open, and was speechless for a long time.

Shan Shi also frowned, lowered her head and did not speak.

Song Qingyue didn't know what the two of them meant, so she glanced at Nanny Bai, and Nanny Bai smiled and smoothed things over and said, "The concubine Shizi didn't mean to underestimate the two of you. If the two concubines don't want to learn from the servants, I'll give you a separate lesson." A small class, would you two like it?"

Only then did Song Qingyue realize that it turned out that these two felt superior to others and didn't want to mix with the servants.It's really low-born, the more you care about this kind of thing.

She thought for a while, and said: "Well, you two will follow Yan, Wei, Zhou, and Shen. I have something for you to learn here. Xue and Shan, you follow, follow, follow. If you don’t, you can find your own way. I don’t have anyone here to teach you alone. In addition, there are monthly exams every month, and the first one in the monthly exam will be rewarded with a piece of jewelry and a piece of fabric in that month. Go to my warehouse by yourself Choose whatever you like, add a dish and a dim sum to each meal, and get another ten taels of silver. No.2, one extra dish for each meal next month, add dim sum, and get five taels of silver. The first for three consecutive months, You can go to my warehouse and pick out two more pieces of jewelry by yourself, pick whatever you want. Are you clear?"

The six concubines were dumbfounded by what Song Qingyue said, what else?

Arranging exams for concubines?

I have never seen such a mistress!
Song Qingyue said again: "Papers and pens are prepared for everyone in the wing room. Let's start today. Your teacher is Mo Xiang. She used to be the best student in our school. She works hard, huh?"

Yan Jiuwan was the quickest to react, and hurriedly stood up to show her attitude: "Yes, I must obey the order of the concubine."

A few people behind her hurriedly stood up and saluted Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue waved them to go out with Mo Xiang, and then asked Little Eunuch Qin: "Jifu, do we have a personnel schedule on the East Road? If not, make me a copy and ask Mohen for the format. I also take all the deeds of sale." Come and give it to me. Those servants whose family members are on the middle or west roads, also make a list for me. Go ahead and bring them tomorrow morning. Be careful, and you will be fined if you make a mistake.”

"Hey! The slave is going down now."

Little Eunuch Qin bowed and left, and Mo Hen followed suit.

Song Qingyue looked at Nanny Bai again: "Mommy, ask someone to go to the cloth shop, why hasn't the batch I ordered last arrived? It looks like I'm going to change into autumn clothes! There are also sample clothes Let me see, tell them, if you don’t bring it within three days, you don’t want it!”

Hongyunbuzhuang was opened by Geng Liangyuan's family.When Song Qingyue placed the order, it was at the beginning of May, and she didn't specify which company she must purchase from, and handed it over to Lin Wanfu, the front-man.It's already July, and the things haven't been brought yet. The efficiency of this work is really unsatisfactory!
