The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 11

Liu Fugen heard that this method is really good. It is not the busy season of farming, and every household can find manpower, and everyone makes clothes in one place, and they are all from the village, so it is embarrassing to cut corners and materials. It's better to go home, but I'm afraid they won't want to come.

"Miss's idea is good, but if they don't want to come, what should I do? Although it's not busy farming, but the women in the family have gone out, and the whole family can't leave behind the food and drink. I'm afraid some people still want to take it back. made."

Xie Yujiao really didn't expect these messy things to be so trivial. Although they are donated things, if they are done too badly, it will not be justified. If Dad's good reputation is ruined by this matter, it is not worth it. up.

"If someone insists on taking it back, then weigh the things by the catty and ask her to take them back. I made it clear in advance that if the clothes she returns are lighter in weight, she won't get the money."

Liu Fugen was delighted in his heart, this is really amazing, what on earth is this girl's head made of, she is so shrewd, when the master is in business, the most important thing is honesty, so it is inevitable that he will suffer in these small things, and now the girl can It's terrible, those villagers can't take advantage of it like this.If you can manage a meal here, more people will come.

"Miss's method really impresses this old servant!"

Xie Yujiao sighed to herself. People in ancient times were much more honest. In modern times, these methods are not enough for a workplace scheming. They are nothing at all.

"Hurry up and arrange this matter first, and see if you can get all the clothes ready by the end of May. When the wheat is harvested in the village, the warehouse will be used to store food." Xie Yujiao ordered, while thinking of another one. When something happened, he said again: "The people in this area want to erect a monument for their father. You can ask the magistrate about this matter. If he agrees, it is best to ask him to write an inscription or something. If he makes any request, You listen first, and tell me when you come back, we can discuss it.”

Xie Yujiao really wanted to erect a monument for Master Xie.Although when she woke up, Mr. Xie had already finished his funeral, and she had never seen what Mr. Xie looked like, but Mrs. Xu already looked exactly like her modern mother. It is very likely that Mr. Xie was with her too. Modern fathers are exactly the same.Thinking of this level, Xie Yujiao became a little more close to Master Xie, and he is a rare good person here, even if there is a monument, he deserves it.

Liu Fugen understood Xie Yujiao's meaning, nodded and stood up, thinking about the pile of things in his hands, so he didn't stay any longer, only said a few words to Ziyan at the door, and hurried away.

Xie Yujiao sat in the study and glanced at the ledger casually. When Ziyan came in to get some tea, she asked curiously: "Your father is usually at home, and your mother bows like this?"

Ziyan burst out laughing, "That's right, my mother said one thing, he didn't dare to say two things, my mother said it, the wife and the girl are rich people, let my father be careful, don't speak loudly, and smoke carefully." Got it, before my father came in to answer, he must have chewed several willow branches in front of him!"

Xie Yujiao couldn't help laughing, with a helpless expression, but it's true after thinking about it!In this country and country place, it was so easy to marry a canary in the city. I was afraid of melting in my mouth, and afraid of falling when I held it in my palm, so I could only feel the pain!
"You can't continue to bully your father. He is the second housekeeper of the Xie family anyway. Let people know that he is so afraid of his wife at home, it's not okay!" Xie Yujiao thought about the appearance of housekeeper Liu just now, and thought it was very funny.

"How can it be? My mother always mentions my father. Look at his outfit today, he looks like a housekeeper of a rich family. My mother said that if my father dares to embarrass the Xie family, she will not forgive him. At this time, Xie Yujiao was thinking about Liu Butler's attire, and found that it was indeed decent, except that she was too careful when seeing her, and she really couldn't fault it.

This side only laughed for a while, and the Xu family sent a maid over to invite Xie Yujiao to come over!Xie Yujiao saw that it was not time for lunch yet, and Xu would usually be watching at the Xikua courtyard at this time, so she knew that she must have something to look for her.

Sure enough, Xie Yujiao passed by, only to find out that Mrs. Xu had received an urgent letter from Xu Yuxing, saying that she had returned from a foreign country, and was looking for someone to visit a Western painter in Quanzhou, and wanted to invite him back to draw a portrait of Mr. Xie. , so that it can be hung in the ancestral hall.

These years, western painters are very popular here in the south, and the portraits they draw are lifelike, so when Mr. Xie left, Xu sent someone to write a letter to Xu Yuxing, asking him to invite the Westerners to come back and paint for Mr. Xie.Xu Yuxing happened to go to the country with the merchant ship, and he went there for half a year. When he came back, he received Xu's letter. After being shocked, he began to look for the painter.

Xie Yujiao didn't have many memories of this uncle in her body. She only knew that after the third house was separated from An Guogong's mansion, life was not very satisfactory. After fleeing to Nanjing, Xu's mother and sister-in-law both died of illness.Xu Yuxing has a daughter named Huiru, and the Xu family only raised her as a daughter. Two years ago, her grandmother felt sorry for her helplessness, so she sent someone to pick her up in the capital.As a result, Xu Yuxing became active instead, and he only devoted himself to business, and worked hard with Master Xie wholeheartedly.

"Your uncle is coming back. I originally thought that I would send someone to the capital to bring your cousin back. The father and daughter have not seen each other for two years, but I thought that there were so many things at home, and I was afraid that your cousin would come. If you don't take good care of her, she will be wronged."

Xie Yujiao counted the days, and according to the current travel speed, it would take two or three months to send someone to the capital and pick them up again, but returning to Jiangning from Quanzhou would be much sooner, maybe when Xu Yuxing came back, There are other plans, it is better not to worry.

"Mother can let this matter go for a while. When uncle comes back, ask him what he means. I don't know what kind of family my cousin's grandfather's family is. If we send a servant, will it appear that we don't respect you enough?" , let’s wait until uncle comes back to make a decision.”

Mrs. Xu thought it made sense, nodded and said: "Then I will listen to you. I don't know when your uncle will come back. If he can catch up before your father's burial, the two brothers can meet again."

Xie Yujiao chatted with Mrs. Xu for a while, and seeing that it was almost time to set the meal, she did not leave. Outside, Zhang's mother came in and said, "Ma'am, Aunt Shen is here, kneeling at the doorstep, saying that she is coming to serve Thank you girl!"

When Mrs. Xu heard the words, she quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's all from my family. Call her in quickly. It's raining heavily, and the blue bricks under the porch are still wet!"

Mama Zhang responded, and then heard the voices of a few maidservants outside helping Aunt Shen to get up.The maid pulled up the curtain, and Aunt Shen came in dressed in white, with a white flower pinned to her temple, which made people feel pitiful.

Aunt Shen entered the door, knelt down in front of Mrs. Xu and Xie Yujiao with a plop, and said with red eyes: "The kindness and virtue of the madam and the young lady, I will never forget it. A girl is a cow and a horse, and she has no complaints!"

Xie Yujiao got a headache seeing this posture. The ancients really didn't have any self-awareness at all. They would voluntarily xxx, voluntary xxx, and the parents who agreed to accept their body, hair and skin. How could it be more refreshing to sell yourself?

"What kind of kindness is this? It's just a matter of raising your hands. Is your brother awake?" Xu asked.

"Wake up, just now Mrs. Zheng came in and sent me a message, saying that my brother has woken up, and that the girl has rewarded so many things, I... I..." Aunt Shen twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and didn't know it for a while. Say something of gratitude.Although she usually secretly stuffs money into the house, her parents are both sick, and her two younger brothers are still young, so they are useless at all. They have income but not income. In the past, they were barely making ends meet. Now the elder brother has been injured again. , It means that the family has no pillars, and it collapses as soon as it is said.

If it wasn't for Xie Jiaxue sending charcoal, the Shen family wouldn't know how to cry now!

"It's good that people are fine, and everything else is trivial." Seeing Aunt Shen's sincerity, Xie Yujiao also cut to the chase and said, "I heard that your elder brother ran darts for people in the city, and the world is in turmoil. The business of licking blood is not easy to do. If he is willing, after he recovers from his injuries, I will hire him to come to our house as a nursing home, what do you think?"

When Aunt Shen heard this, she was naturally willing, but her elder brother was very stubborn, because she blamed herself for a long time for coming to Xie's family as a concubine, and she was afraid that she might not be willing to come over by then.

"The girl's kindness, the servant girl is naturally grateful, but my brother..."

Before Aunt Shen could finish her words, Xie Yujiao said first, "My Xie family doesn't run a philanthropic hall, but since he has this skill, I happen to have this need. Besides, your parents are not in good health. Eldest brother, not at home to take care of him, wandering all over the world, if something happens at home, is it possible to fly back?"

If this is placed in modern times, it is really possible to fly back, but this is ancient times, and you have to fly if you want to...

Aunt Shen felt more and more reasonable. Originally, when her brother went out this time, he had agreed to bring money back, so that the family could live a good life for two years.What's more, her elder brother is already in his early twenties, Xie's house is better off and everyone has married wives, but he is still just one of them. If he can really settle down here, that would be great.

Xie Yujiao saw that Aunt Shen's face was a little loose, so she just said, "Go and persuade him, a man who can bend and stretch, if he can't even take care of the whole family, what is his real ability?"

Aunt Shen nodded vigorously, and she also had some ideas in her mind.
