The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 177
Thinking of those friends who were hurt by her outspokenness, Leng Ping also felt sorry at this moment.

Like teaching Xiao Shitou now, if someone had taught her well when she was young, maybe she would not have reached that point!

Shi Shi seemed to understand, and walked silently holding Leng Ping's hand. The sun was setting, leaving behind two thoughtful figures.

When he got home, Hao Dan just came back from herding the sheep, looked at Leng Ping timidly, lowered his head, and rubbed the hem of his clothes.

"Hao Dan, sister has something to tell you!" Leng Ping stepped forward to stop Hao Dan's shoulder.

Hao Dan didn't wait for Leng Ping to speak, he raised his hand in surrender and said, "Sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't listen to you and stop studying, but the business of this tin stove is really good, I made five taels of silver a day today, and it’s the Chinese New Year now, and everyone is willing to spend money, sister, otherwise, I’ll sell it for a month, just a year ago, and I’ll go to school after a year , will it work?"

Seeing Hao Dan's face flushed and anxious and idiotic, Leng Ping burst out laughing, and lovingly touched Hao Dan's round head.

This smile made Hao Dan laugh inexplicably, and he also smiled foolishly, but the smile was obviously stiff.

Could it be that he made his sister mad?

"Hao Dan, I was in the city just now, my sister was wrong, shouldn't my sister just slap you without listening to your explanation, does your head still hurt?" Leng Ping touched Hao Dan's head.

Hao Dan quickly shook his head, his little face suddenly turned red, Leng Ping's apology, this half-grown child really didn't know how to deal with it!
"Hao Dan, you don't like reading, you like doing business. I can see it too. I really shouldn't force you, but you still have to read this book. Let me ask you, you have been studying for a year, how many words do you know? Do you understand the books I bought for you?" Every time Leng Ping came back, she would bring two books for Hao Dan and Shitou. There are ten books. Most of those books are miscellaneous notes or records of local customs and customs. They are not official books. Shitou never reads them. He is obsessed with practicing calligraphy and teaching children to read. Hao Dan has read a lot. He found it awkward to read stereotyped essays, but he liked these miscellaneous records of unofficial history very much, and he had already read them thoroughly!
Hao Dan nodded hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, I've read all the books you bought, and if you don't believe me, test me!"

"I'm not a teacher. Why do you test your thing? So, you know all the characters on it?" Leng Ping laughed.

Hao Dan nodded immediately, "I know them all! If I don't know, I'll ask Shitou, and Shitou will ask Master!"

"So, you didn't stop studying?" Leng Ping became happier the more she listened, and she pulled him to sit down on the stone bench in the yard.

Hao Dan rubbed his head, "Sister, those are miscellaneous books. The teachers in the school have said that reading too much will disturb your mind, so Shitou never reads it!"

Leng Ping asked: "Then why does Hao Dan want to watch it?"

Hao Dan smiled embarrassedly: "I think it's interesting, even more interesting than those in the school. Besides, my sister bought it. My sister bought it. It must be good!"

Leng Ping was moved, Hao Dan believed her so unconditionally!In fact, she didn't even read those books!
"Then you continue to do this business, but we have agreed that this book can't be left behind. I will find a way to get you some more books in a few days. You are doing business while reading. Reading also becomes..."

Before Leng Ping finished speaking, Hao Dan immediately waved his hands and said, "I'm not tired, I like doing business, and I like the feeling of money passing through my hands!"

Leng Ping was taken aback, Hao Dan looked honest and honest on his face, he turned out to be a businessman, and immediately remembered the multiplication formula and abacus mental arithmetic, and immediately said, "You are in business and you have to settle accounts. It just so happens that you are at home these days , I will teach you to do the math!"

When Hao Dan heard it, she was very happy, and then said hesitantly: "Sister, I have an account book, let me show you!"

Hao Dan rushed to the house and took a book sealed with rice paper, on which some numbers were written densely, Hao Dan pointed to those numbers and explained to Leng Ping, "Sister, look, this is for Li The blacksmith's wages and material money are the money I earn, and after these two trips, I have earned seven or eight taels of silver!"

Leng Ping watched and instructed him how to keep the accounts. The two were chatting and laughing, making Hua'er jealous.

"Sister-in-law, you are only busy with the second and third brothers when you come back. Why don't you ignore me? I've already made money!" Brother taught me to remember, you see, right!"

Leng Ping held Hua'er in her arms, "Sister-in-law, why don't you ignore you, sister-in-law has heard that Hua'er has made a lot of money!"

Hua'er lowered her head shyly, "It's not much, compared to Second Brother, it's far worse!"

In fact, since the beginning of this year, silk flowers have been available in silk shops all over the place, but the shapes are all imitated by Hua'er. For this reason, Hua'er went to the city to find Leng Ping, and asked for some new styles. And not only made hairpins, but also made hairpins, especially accessories for little girls. They made a lot of them and seized the market again. In addition, several satin shops signed contracts with Leng Ping. The head of silk satin They are all for flowers, so those people don't have a lot of silk heads, and they just make dozens of them. If they use a whole bolt of silk, it's not worth it. It's a small business, so now the biggest supply of silk flowers in the city is Hua'er, but Hua'er and Hao's only have two hands, and as more and more silk flowers go out, the supply is somewhat in short supply!
Leng Ping thought of Yu Xueliang's mother. Yu Lin had never experienced hardship before, and she couldn't do such work as going to the fields. All these years, she had to rely on the grudging supply of sewing, mending, washing and cleaning for rich families. Yu Xueliang was studying, but Yu Xueliang was good at needlework, so he discussed with Hao and planned to use Xueliang Niang Yu Lin.

In the evening, Hao called Yu Lin and told her about asking her to help process silk flowers.

When Yu Lin heard it, she was naturally happy, but she looked at her hands and said in a low voice, "I'm just afraid that you think my hands are thick!"

Yu Lin's hands were red with cold and cracked, which was caused by washing clothes with starch all the year round.The silk is afraid of being scratched, if the hand is rough, if you scratch a thread, the whole thread will be useless!

Yu Lin rubbed her hands anxiously and lowered her head.

To be honest, she has long been envious of the sale of silk flowers like flowers. She just sits at home all day long, which is more comfortable than she goes to the city and sits at the gate of the city to do work, and starches and washes clothes by the river in winter. How many times, the most important thing is to take a long trip, don't worry about not having work to do, but her hands...
