Chapter 91 Leaving Home

After returning from Yunjia Village, Qiao Mingjin has been busy with the two younger brothers going to the city.

She went to the city once, pulled a lot of cloth in the cloth shop, and planned to make some clothes for her two younger brothers.

If it were Qiao Mingjin herself, she would definitely not be able to do it. She could still sew buttons and mend some mending, but it is really impossible for her to make ancient clothes.

But she has Qiao Mingjin's memory.

Qiao Mingjin learned needlework from her grandmother, Lan Shi, since she was a child. Not to mention how good she is, it is not a problem to make a few clothes.

And it can be done finely, and it can also embroider some simple flowers and bamboos on the edge of the collar and cuffs in the shortest time.

At the beginning, she bought a complete set of needles and threads in the city, as well as embroidery stitches and other things.I didn't have that spare money before, but now I feel that I have to keep a copy at home no matter what.

At first she thought it was new, but when she first started cutting the cloth, she was very slow and didn't get used to it, and the cloth was cut crookedly.It also pierced her hands with needle holes.

Later, it slowly became familiar and twisted.

When the two younger brothers first put on the clothes she made, she was worried at first that they wouldn't fit and that the thread would collapse or something.Didn't expect it to fit so well.

She can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

In addition to the clothes of the two younger brothers, some more cloth came out.She then measured the bodies of Ming Qi and Wan'er, and made two clothes for each.I was so happy that the two children jumped up and down, very excited.

It's just that after the clothes were finished, the two of them took them off after only one try, and carefully folded them, put them in a cage and put them away, and they didn't want others to touch them.Said to wait until later to wear.

It made Qiao Mingjin very sad to see it.

During this period, Qiao Mingjin also took 1000 taels of silver to ask Mingjue to return to Yunjiazhuang to ask her natal family to help buy the land.

For the rest of the time, Ming Jue and Ming Heng were very sensible, and they hardly stopped working. They didn't let Qiao Mingjin intervene when they were busy at home.The pile of firewood filled the firewood room and was piled high in a corner of the backyard.

Qiao Mingjin can burn the fire at home for a long time without chopping firewood.

That time when he went to the city, Qiao Mingjin had already found a pair of brothers who came to the city to sell firewood in the market.Seeing his brothers pick and choose firewood at the market, Qiao Mingjin thought of himself when he went to the city to sell firewood for the first time.

She took the brothers to Yuji and introduced them to Yuji's shopkeeper.The shopkeeper Yu sized up the two brothers.Finally nodded.

The brothers were very happy.I thank shopkeeper Yu again and again.He also thanked Qiao Mingjin again and again.

It's just that the two brothers didn't have an ox cart like Qiao Mingjin, so they promised the shopkeeper Yu Ji to send two loads of firewood every day.

Fortunately, they live much closer than Qiao Mingjin, not far from the city.Just walking twice a day is enough.It's just that you still have to set aside time to chop wood.

Qiao Mingjin found someone to take over, and everyone was happy.

After waiting for two more days, the abacus was finally made.

Qiao Mingjin looked at this batch of abacus, which was obviously much more elaborate than the previous batch.I am very satisfied.The five of them did not slacken the slightest slack because of rushing work, and there was no place where they cut corners or slowed things down.

Qiao Mingjin was very satisfied with He's father's work. Although it might not be as fast as He Xiaochun's three, the work was done more delicately.Yue Dalei was only unfamiliar with it for the first day, but then he got used to it slowly.

Qiao Mingjin took this batch of ready-made abacus and took a few younger siblings into the city.

Delivery is still done separately.It was still Mingjue who sent him to the academy.Mingheng delivered to various shops in each street.Qiao Mingjin is sending it to big families...

A few people are lucky, although there is no additional order.But no one said it was going to be unsubscribed.They were also very happy to receive the abacus, and happily paid the rest of the money.

In the middle of the afternoon, after the siblings took back the rest of the money, Qiao Mingjin didn't deposit the money in Yinzhuang again.She just went to Yinzhuang to exchange some scattered silver, and she might need a lot of money in the future.And every time you go to the bank to exchange silver, you will be charged a fee.

Several people happily bought a lot of things at the market, and then turned back with most of the ox cart's stuff, and bought several bags of that rice.And no more broken rice.There is a small amount of polished rice.Everything else is plain white rice.

After arriving home, in addition to the 100 taels of silver given to Father He last time, Qiao Mingjin paid another five taels of silver for each person.Yue Dalei also bagged five taels.Joe's father and others did not accept it.The thing is Yue Dalei, who said he only worked for a few days, and he deserved so much money.But Qiao Mingjin wanted to give it, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Qiao Mingjin told Yue Dalei that the money was for at least half a year after buying him, and he could no longer take other people's work for at least half a year.

Moreover, what he did with Qiao Mingjin afterwards could not be abandoned halfway, let alone reveal the work he did to the outside world at will.

When Yue Dalei heard this, he nodded again and again as a promise, and took the money.

On the same day, Sister Xiu led the two children to bring a lot of freshly picked vegetables from the field, as well as pickles and other things to send to her.

The two families ate together again.

During the meeting, Qiao Mingjin said that he would let the four fathers go back to their respective homes, and asked them to come back in five days.Let them all settle down at home, and they may not be able to go home for a long time in the future.

Qiao Mingjin didn't tell these people what she was going to do next.Father He and the others didn't ask any questions, they seemed to trust Qiao Mingjin, and believed that Qiao Mingjin would not treat them badly.

In order to win them over, Qiao Mingjin paid a lot of wages, and these people were willing to work with Qiao Mingjin.

The 100 taels of silver given to Father He last time, Father He also distributed some to the two apprentices, but Qiao Mingjin didn't know how much.Speaking of which, the last batch of abacus was the work of He Xiaochun alone.

The next day, Father He led his son and two apprentices to resign from Qiao Mingjin and went home.He didn't bring any baggage and stayed at Qiao Mingjin's place.Expressed to Qiao Mingjin their determination to come again.

It made Qiao Mingjin feel at ease.

After all, what she's going to do next is absolutely impossible for her alone.

Although the Sixth Young Master of the Zhou Mansion said that he could cooperate with him, Qiao Mingjin also thought that he was the best partner at present.But she didn't want to part out the meat, she could only have some soup.

On the second day after He's father and the others left, Liu Yuanwai also sent someone to pick up Ming Heng and Ming Jue in a carriage.

When the two brothers left, sister Xiu also brought two children to see them off.

Qiao Mingjin personally delivered the baggage of the two younger brothers to the carriage.

She didn't have much emotion of parting.Only little Wan'er tightly wrapped her arms around the necks of the two uncles, unwilling to let go.She didn't cry aloud, she just hugged the necks of the two uncles tightly and shed tears, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Liu Qi has also become familiar with Ming Qi, Chang He, Liu Zhi and others these days, and he feels a little bit reluctant.Patting his chest with great pride, he said that he would come back to see them as soon as he had time in the future.

Attracting several children to nod again and again, they followed the carriage and sent them off again and again until they reached the entrance of the village.

After seeing off Ming Heng and Ming Jue, the family suddenly became deserted.

Now only Wan'er and Ming Qi are with her at home.

Qiao Mingjin was not used to it all of a sudden.

On the first day, after lighting up, I found that I no longer needed to go up the mountain to cut firewood, so I was a little dazed, not knowing what to do next.

Dally in the kitchen and make breakfast.Then they used bullock carts to pull the chicken coops and sent the chickens to the forest for release.Then I don't know what to do.

A moment ago, he was spinning continuously, and he never had a moment of leisure. Now he will be idle for a while, and he doesn't know what to do. He is very uncomfortable.

Didn't she have that happy life?

After going down the mountain and wandering around the house for a long time, I saw the piles of firewood piled up in the backyard and the firewood room. After thinking about it, I brought water to water the vegetables.

Wan'er and Ming Qi were so frightened that they ran over to stop her.

They have watered this dish early in the morning, and it will be waterlogged again.

Qiao Mingjin was not feeling well, so she had to take out the abacus and began to teach Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er how to use the abacus.

First teach them the structure of the abacus and the principle of dialing.After talking for more than half an hour, I taught them to add numbers within fifty that I had learned from her before.

Then teach them to recite the formula.

Ming Qi is fine.I have learned some characters from Lan's before, and I also know a little bit about characters and numbers.This would be a quick learner.The formulas are also memorized.It's just Xiao Wan'er's back knocking and mixing.

Qiao Mingjin didn't ask her to remember either.

Just teach her how to dial the beads.

Numbers up to ten were taught her back and forth.Only let her practice the dexterity of her fingers and the reflexes of her brain.

The two children were very interested. They spent the whole day setting the abacus at home, and they were still happy.

Qiao Mingjin spent the whole day teaching the two children abacus.It was a rare day of leisure time.

The next day, after breakfast, Qiao Mingjin took her two children to teach them how to read and abacus at home after finishing all the housework.

At the beginning of noon, Qiao Mingjin heard the sound of a carriage outside the door.

When she heard the knock on the door and went to open it, she saw a large carriage parked in front of her house.

Qiao Mingjin looked suspiciously at a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper standing at the door of his house and the two servants standing behind him.

Seeing the man look him up and down, he felt a little uncomfortable.Frowning, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man didn't answer, but still looked Qiao Mingjin up and down.Qiao Mingjin cast him a glance and closed the door.

The man outside the door obviously didn't come back to his senses.

It wasn't until Qiao Mingjin got off the latch, turned around and walked a few steps into the courtyard, that the person outside slammed on the door: "Open the door, open the door. But Qiao Mingjin from the Qiao family?"

Qiao Mingjin frowned.

In this era, women's names don't seem to be called casually, do they?What's more, few people know their boudoir names.

Seeing that the man slapped the door loudly, the coarse mud in the door frames on both sides fell straight down, so he had no choice but to go up and open the door.

The three people who saw the door stared at her with some anger.

Qiao Mingjin laughed.

Whoa, that's amazing.Those who didn't understand thought they were coming to collect debts, but she refused to open the door.

Qiao Mingjin didn't have the time to chat her teeth. She was in a better mood at the moment, holding the door frame with one hand, and asked, "Which family are you from? Who told you to come to me?"
