The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 338 The Concubine of the Qi Family (3)
Before Qi Jingfeng could speak, Qi Mu pulled several people to kneel down together: "If we want to recognize our ancestors, why wait until now? It's just that poor Shaozheng Hanchuang has studied hard for ten years, and once he was elected in the court, he can't just because he doesn't have a letter of recommendation. , and ruined his future. After thinking about it, he brazenly begged Shi Ziye for a letter of recommendation from Shaozheng."

Qi Jingfeng's eyes flickered, they were indeed the bastards driven out by Mrs. Qi.Looking at their hunched backs, there was panic hidden deep in their begging eyes, and they were cautiously flattering them.

"Butler, arrange it in the west wing." After Qi Jingfeng said, Qi Mu's family of four thanked Dade for his thanks.

Shen Qinglan felt a little uncomfortable, coming from the same lineage, but with completely different destinies.He is clearly only in his early forties, but he is as old as seventy.

Qi Jingfeng left Qi Shaozheng behind and took him to the study.Shen Qinglan went back to the house. In the evening, Qi Qianqian came over empty-handed. She was a little scared when she saw Shen Qinglan, but held on firmly, lowered her head, and looked at Shen Qinglan from the corner of her eyes. There was surprise in her eyes, which she had never seen before. I have seen such a beautiful lady.

Shen Qinglan has admiration for her, if it is the first time to meet her, and bring things, people will definitely suspect that she has evil intentions.From this detail, it can also be seen that she is a cautious person and will not leave anything to criticize.

"Stay here with peace of mind, treat it as your own home, if you need anything, you can find the butler, and they will buy for you." Shen Qinglan smiled and looked at Qi Qianqian, who was about 15 years old, ordinary-looking, with dark and yellow skin due to farming.Sitting in a chair, pulling clothes that don't fit.Closing her eyes, Shen Qinglan said lightly: "I will come to Xiuniang later in Tailor Pavilion, so you can choose two sets of clothes that fit you."

Although they are also the blood of the Qi family, after all, they have already adopted to the Yan Palace.Moreover, they have no plans to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. If they give them all the good things, and then return to their original lives, they will not be able to survive.

Seeing Qi Qianqian fiddling with the inferior jade bracelet on her wrist, she sighed softly.It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Presuming he didn't see it, he only chose two delicate but not expensive silver waffles for Qi Qianqian.

Qi Qianqian didn't say a word, she took all of them and chose two sets of clothes that were exactly the same.Xiu Niang said to listen to Shen Qinglan, but Shen Qinglan didn't care, and signaled Xiu Niang to follow the style chosen by Qi Qianqian.

After observing them for a few days, there was nothing wrong with them, they lived in the West Wing Room in a well-behaved manner, and did not exceed them.

"Concubine Shizi, this subordinate thinks that girl is extremely strange. She wears black clothes and keeps silent. Looking at her makes her feel bad." A lot of things about the concubine of the Qi family.

"What kind of people are created by what environment, did you send them the silver carbon?" Shen Qinglan heard that a woman broke her mouth last night, and some of the people living in the west wing were so cold that they were caught in the wind.

Changmei said with a strange expression: "Give it away, I gave an extra basket. But they asked the housekeeper for a few hemp rope bags, packed all the silver silk carbon, and took them out of the house to hide. Maybe, they want to bring Take it home and use it slowly in the future.”

"There's no need to send them any more, burn the kang for them, light the silver charcoal and send them in." Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, she couldn't ruin Qi Jingfeng's reputation because of this.How many officials are not convinced that he is an invigilator?Waiting in secret to catch his fault!If Qi Mu is withheld, others will add fuel to it, and exaggerate it will be extremely affected.

Shen Qinglan smoothed her cuffs, wrapped herself in a cloak, and went to the West Wing. She felt that it was necessary to explain something clearly to them.

As soon as Fang walked to the door, he met Qi Shaozheng, who was wearing white clothes and was washed with starch. He was holding a book in his hand. He looked a little flustered, and walked out of the mansion in a hurry.

Shen Qinglan opened her mouth to call him: "Where is this going?"

When Qi Shaozheng saw Shen Qinglan, he looked a little uncomfortable, and said stiffly: "Teach the students." Seeing that Shen Qinglan frowned, he hurriedly explained: "My parents sold the property for me to catch up with the exam. After I finish the exam , Back home, no income, will definitely starve and suffer from cold. I want to take advantage of my free time and work as a teacher in a private school."

Shen Qinglan nodded, her phoenix eyes were calm, and she said lightly: "You teach people, will it delay your study? If you ignore your homework for the sake of earning money, wouldn't it be in vain to let down your parents' painstaking efforts? If you are short of money, you will pay 20 taels of silver from me and be my accountant for a year."

20 taels of silver, Qi Shaozheng was tempted, but...

"Let me think about it again." Qi Shaozheng said, bowed and left.

Shen Qinglan looked at his leaving figure thoughtfully. 20 taels of silver, they farm all day long, and may not be able to earn it in a year, why did he refuse it without hesitation?
Turning around and going to the West Wing, Mrs. Zhou was mending, while Qi Qianqian took care of the soles.There are already four or five pairs of them on the side, probably to sell them for money.Shen Qinglan took a look at a pair of shoe soles. Although she was timid, she was good at sewing. "Fuzhong will make a new set of clothes for the maids at the end of the year. You are good at sewing. How about entrusting this to you and counting the wages?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou pricked her finger in surprise, but she didn't care about it at all. She looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise and said, "Concubine Shizi, you said...you said that the winter clothes in the mansion will be handed over to our mother and daughter? But..." But buying Don't you want to spend money too?Where do they have money to buy cloth?
"Well, I will provide the cloth, and you will do it by hand. If you make a piece of clothing, I will give you three hundred copper plates. About three hundred pieces will be made in the mansion. I am afraid that the two of you will not be able to do it. One hundred pieces will do." ” Paused, and continued: “I will arrange for the embroiderer to help you cut the cloth.” With quick hands and feet, a piece of clothing can be produced in about two days.There are still more than three months until the Chinese New Year.

There was surprise in Zhou's eyes, and she looked at Qi Qianqian excitedly, and Qi Qianqian was equally excited. They made 30 pieces and got [-] taels of silver.

There is no such high salary for making clothes for others outside, so this year can be a good year!

Shen Qinglan smiled, if she gave them money for nothing and spoiled their character, it would be her fault.Their life is difficult, and providing them with a way to make money is far safer than giving them money for nothing.

"Thank you, Concubine Shizi, you are such a good person. Not only did you take us in and give us a bite to eat, but you also let us earn money." Zhou was so excited that she wanted to kneel down and thank you, but she was stopped by Chang Mei: "This is because you have the ability , I do it for others, and I do the same for you.”

Zhou fell silent, she didn't know the intentions of Shi Zifei, but she knew that she was helping them.So there was some pressure in my heart, I was afraid that I might not do well and let her down.

"I...I will do my best!" Zhou's eyes were gentle but firm.

Shen Qinglan smiled: "In this cold weather, the house is dark. You can light candles when you do needlework. You don't need to save the carbon allocated to you when you sleep at night. The carbon will not cost much. If you Suffering from the wind and cold, calling a doctor will cost far more than this money, and you will suffer yourself.”
