Beautiful step by step

Chapter 138

Most people are really not afraid of being poor, but of being better than others.The neighbors of plain-headed common people who are also in Jingchai cloth skirt, suddenly one day the silk and satin of one side is high above, and the other side will feel uncomfortable.Obviously her life hasn't changed much, but jealousy and unwillingness will gnaw at her heart like poison, making her talk about her husband's lack of progress and unfair fate all day long.

Liangzhou people and Mongolian people are two such neighbors.

These Mongolian children lived in the state school with peace of mind. After registration, each of them, like Uzhina, had a brand-new name translated from Chinese according to the pronunciation, which made them excited and satisfied.

And Uzhina, who sent the child here, didn't say anything, only ordered, or threatened a little.If anyone is disobedient and sent back, she will deprive that person of his new name.Not only that, their fathers and mothers in the tribe will take care of the cattle and sheep during the freezing and snowy days to ensure that the cattle and sheep will not be frozen to death in the cold winter.

Being mischievous, stripped of their names and dragging Mom and Dad to the toughest jobs in the tribe, was enough to scare the kids.Following this sentence, a group of children who were less than ten years old and who were the age of the devil king in the world all became obedient little sheep.Children of this age are at the time when their memory is the best, and it can be said that they are making rapid progress when they study hard. The Zhou Xuefu who was originally moved by the sincerity of the Mongolians will now like them from the bottom of their hearts.

And Wei Wei learned another fact from Ah Tong's mouth. Although Dai Viet has entered a feudal society, the Mongols who are also on the territory of Dai Viet are still slaves.As a female leader, Uzhina directly controls the life and death of these children and their whole family, the kind of direct control that can be done without taking any responsibility and seeing people unhappy.But she is obviously not that brutal dictator, on the contrary she is a benevolent and visionary leader.This time, for the state school, she directly summoned the whole family of school-age children with absolute authority.And because of her status as the female leader, none of the little girls who could come were left behind.

After listening, the defender sincerely thanked Uzhina.But people want power and money... The gold and silver treasures of the Mongolian tribal leaders are packed in boxes. Uzhina once joked that she would give her a box of pearls from Lake Baikal.She really had nothing to repay, so she devoted this gratitude to the Mongolian children.

In addition to Ruyi Tower, Mrs. Qian also owns one of the top silk and satin houses in Liangzhou City.Seeing that the weather was getting cooler, she ordered a batch of thick cotton clothes.The main business of Qianji Silk and Satin Factory is for officials, and Mrs. Qian also pays special attention to her orders. She personally sent experienced masters to the state to learn how to tailor clothes, and a batch of exquisite cotton clothes were made within a few days of overtime.Although the clothes are standard, they can't help but look good.All the children put on new clothes after taking a bath. The navy blue cotton padded clothes trimmed with wool trim were wrapped around piles of little balls. Looking at the Smurfs from a distance, they were indescribably cute and playful.

Uzhina, who has been staying in the state school for a while, is very happy with the attitude of "if the little guy is naughty, he will return the goods on the spot".She said on the spot that she would also make one and wear it back to show the tribe members in the tribe.

Wei Wei didn't want her to do it, so he sent a batch with a big wave of his hand.One for Uzhina to wear, and the rest for him to bring back to his tribe.She also wants to tell those Mongolians who are far away in the tribe: Although their children are in Liangzhou, mothers and children can wear the same cotton padded clothes thousands of miles away, and their hearts are also warm.She didn't take the money out of the public account, but directly took it out of her small private treasury.

Not to mention how happy Uzhina was when she received the clothes, by the time she placed the second order at Qianji Silk and Satin House, almost ten days had passed.

After the first enrollment broke up, the people living on the edge of Liangzhou City have always been concerned about the status quo of the state school.Some of them are related to the master of the state school, and through the master's mouth, they learned that Mongolian children are well-behaved and motivated, and the common people felt very uncomfortable.They have always regarded the Mongols as barbarians, but now they have been secretly despising the people whose children of the same age are so much better than their most precious children.

This bit of guilt quickly turned into regret after seeing the group of Mongolian children change into new clothes.Did you see it?The new padded jackets worn by those Mongolian children are so pretty. They were made by Qianji. They look very thick when they look puffy, and the collar and cuffs are locked with wool piping. After a month or so, the northwest wind will not blow in at all. .

I have long heard that the state school controls food and housing, but they haven't taken it seriously.These people who have lived in Liangzhou for a long time have a deep-rooted concept in their hearts. Just listen to what the government says, and don't take it seriously.Didn't the soldiers in these years always say that they are in charge of food, housing, and salary, but what is the real situation?Pay extra for food and clothing, and the salary is just a little bit.So a few days ago, when the state school made such a slogan, they naturally scoffed, how could there be such a good thing in the world.

Now that they saw the new cotton-padded clothes, they began to regret it; and when the news came from the city that Mrs. Yan was so happy that she gave the Mongolian children's parents clothes out of her own pocket, the whole group of people regretted it.It is a money record exclusively for high-ranking officials and nobles, and ordinary people like them who plan their food in the soil may not be willing to buy a piece of Qian Ji clothes for the rest of their lives.If they were sincere that day and took the smartest child in the family to sign up, would they be able to wear new cotton clothes this winter?
While regretting, these common people began to pick their own obedient and smart children without saying a word.Brothers are easy to pick. These days, which family has a few sons, but when it's the girl's turn, some families feel worried.There are too many sons in their family, and they sold the girl to Ren Yazi when they couldn't have enough to eat in the famine year, and now there are only sons left in the family.

what to do?If you don't have a girl, you don't need a brother.

Anxious like ants on a hot pot, the gang finally came up with a solution: rent one.

Although the commanding envoy said that when you sign up, you need to check your household registration.But the masters in the state school are responsible for counting and enrolling. Some masters are their distant relatives.
Just do it!

Seeing that they will go to the yamen tomorrow, the family who lacks a girl is busy.Some of the neighbors borrowed one from the nearest one, others even borrowed one from the tribe, and those who couldn't find it even borrowed it from the neighboring village.The day before the enrollment of the state school was approaching, there was an upsurge of robbing girls in eight villages outside the city of Liangzhou, and the value of girls who were not valued in the past doubled overnight.

After a whole day's work, I finally settled on the girl's matter. I couldn't sleep for a few hours, and everyone was on the road before dawn.

Contrary to these villagers, Wei Wei who sent Uzhina away had a good night's sleep.After experiencing all kinds of rough conditions in Youzhou, from camping to stone houses, after returning to the Liangzhou mansion, her sleep quality has been further improved in a comfortable environment.Although she was afraid of the cold, snuggled into Yan Heng's arms who moved the stove, she slept soundly every night.

Before going to bed, she was served comfortably by Yan Heng during a workout. She fell asleep with a stiff neck, and when she woke up beautifully, she was full of energy and radiant.Once the youthful and invincible face looked good, even without any makeup, it was more beautiful than heavy makeup.

Regarding this point, no one has a deeper understanding than Yan Heng who is holding a comb to comb his daughter-in-law's hair.

During these days of getting married, Ah Mao still tried to comb her hair by herself at first.But it was clear that she was doing everything right, and the whole process was very careful, but in the end there would always be a lot of broken hair.After repeated setbacks, Ah Mao simply gave up the idea of ​​doing it himself, and he was happy to see this happen.Every day he wakes up with Ah Mao in his arms, serves breakfast made by himself, and asks her to wake up before combing her black hair with his own hands.Such an intimate time alone, no matter how many times he repeated it, made him feel warm and warm in his heart.

Although the speed of the bun is deliberately slowed down, the bun is still slowly forming in the hands.Regretfully inserting the wooden hairpin, when Ah Mao was about to stand up, he had an idea.

"Wait a minute."

Wei Wei paused, sat down with doubts on his face, and asked, "Is this bad?"

"A little bit."

Yan Heng reached out with his long arm and found the charcoal pencil from a pile of account books on the desk next to him.These were used for sewing kraft paper bags. Ah Mao found out and took a box back. Since then, she seldom uses brushes, but generally uses this kind of charcoal pens for accounting.

The charcoal pencil was sharpened by him yesterday, and the tip of the pen has been rounded after a day of use.Trying the feel on the thumb to control the strength, Yan Heng bent down to stare at her eyebrows, and began to trace with a pen.

Sitting on the embroidered pier, Wei Kui looked at his serious eyes, stared at her eyebrows for a moment, and the tenderness on his face almost Loving time.

"Aheng..."

"kindness."

"I A..."

Before the word "love" was spoken, there was a knock on the door.Wei Wei paused, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.Pretending not to notice the disappointment around Yan Heng, she raised her voice to call for people to come in.

Gu Yu, who walked in, was taken aback by the black air pervading around her family. Standing at the door of the bedroom, she whispered a message: "Madam, the common people bring their children to the state to study."

She almost forgot that there was still this matter today, and it wasn't that she forgot, but in her calculations, she started on her way after breakfast, and it would take an hour to get here.

"Okay, Gu Yu, go there first and let them line up by village."

Watching her disappear into the yard from the window, Wei Wei took a look in the mirror.Yan Heng seemed to be born with this kind of talent, with just a few strokes, he mastered the shape of his eyebrows almost perfectly.She was already very energetic, but after thrushing her eyebrows, it was raised to a higher level.

"It's very nice, has Ah Heng practiced before?"

Yan Heng nodded.

"What!" Wei Wei stared wide-eyed, and pressed her forward: "Honestly, which woman have you practiced against?"

"There really is such a woman who looks very good-looking."

Wei Wei began to feel sour in his heart: "How beautiful is it?"

Nodding his chin with his index finger, Yan Heng fell into memories, with a happy smile on his lips: "It's about the same as Ah Mao."

There is such a thing!Wei Wei sat down, turned his back to him and sneered: "Who is it, I know it?"

After a long while of silence, when her heart gradually sank, Yan Heng put his arms around her waist from behind: "Of course you know. Fool, there is no one else but you. I have practiced it in my mind for a long time to face your eyebrows." .”
