Chapter 564 The villain’s vicious ex-wife 11

When the family tries on clothes, Wushuang naturally tries on clothes too. She will not make clothes for others but forget about herself.

Wushuang's own clothes are all simple and easy to move around. She is no longer a charming lady and is busy every day, so the sleeves are too wide and inconvenient.

Of course, Wushuang did not cut it across the board. He still left behind a set of exquisite wide-sleeved dresses, which he saved for the Chinese New Year when he was not working.

However, the clothes she made for Bai Mengli and Pei Jingyuan were mostly wide-sleeved and looked good on them. Of course, it would not be inconvenient to wear looped shirts when working.

It's just that Wushuang hates the feeling of using loops on her arms and always feels constrained. If she can't stop working at all, she would rather not wear clothes with wide sleeves.

Bai Mengli and Pei Jingyuan were both accustomed to wearing wide-sleeved Chinese clothes, and they didn't mind using their collared shirts when working.

The three men, Pei Zan, Pei Zishu, and Pei Zijue, all wear narrow-sleeved clothes to facilitate movement. Just like Wushuang himself, each of them only has one set of wide-sleeved clothes for the New Year.

Although it is made of fine cotton, the fine cloth is soft and the clothes made of it are also very exquisite. As long as you iron it every time you wear it, it will not wrinkle.

The Pei family has not worn good clothes for a long time. They have been busy with everything during this period. Although they are not short of money, they have no time to buy clothes.

When moving into a new house, the furniture in the room must be prepared, the walls must be painted white, the livestock, chickens and ducks must be moved in, and the six horses must be let out for a run every day.

You won’t know if you don’t prepare things. After you prepare, you will find that there are countless miscellaneous things in life, ranging from needles and threads to brain basins and pots, to boxes, cages, wardrobes, tables and chairs, and furnishings.

After finally finishing her work, Bai Mengli was preparing to wait for Wushuang to come back one day and discuss buying clothes. Unexpectedly, Wushuang had already thought of it and prepared all the clothes in advance.

After trying on the clothes, Wushuang said to Bai Mengli, "Mom, are all the New Year's goods at home ready?"

Bai Mengli said: "Everything is ready. Our family originally raised two pigs, fifteen chickens and fifteen ducks.

Originally I planned to sell these for money, but now I can keep them for myself and eat them. Then I go to the market to buy two sheep and come back, so there is no need to prepare the meat.

I also bought all the other rice, white flour and other grains, prepared enough medicinal materials for medicinal diet, and bought all the candies, snacks, melon seeds and dried fruits.

What I haven’t bought yet are firecrackers and Tusu wine, Spring couplets with the word “Fu” on the windows, incense for worshiping gods, and nothing else.”

These are simple, but Wu Shuang feels that there is one more important thing left: "Father, mother, why don't we take advantage of the Chinese New Year to buy some servants.

Our house has grown, and we have a lot of work at home. Relying on family members to do all the work is a bit overwhelming, and it is also tiring. If you are tired and injured, it will cause trouble.

It's better to buy a few servants to do the work, so that everyone in the family can relax. Zijue and Jingyuan have been busy working during this period, and their hands have become rough, so they should take good care of them.

Although Zi Shu's health has improved a lot, he shouldn't work too hard. With servants, he can be taken care of without worrying about helping out with work."

Although Wushuang said that everyone was very tempted. After all, the days of having someone to serve him before and after him had gone by for a long time, and it was hard not to miss that kind of relaxed life, but everyone still resisted the temptation and refused.

Pei Zan said: "There is no need to buy people anymore, and there is not much work at home. We don't need to make money now. It is easy for a group of people to do this kind of work, and we don't need servants to serve us."

Bai Mengli also said: "Yes, these people at home are idle and can't do this kind of work. Why should we buy servants? We are very agile and we don't need anyone to wait on us."

Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan also expressed their opinions. Pei Zijue said: "Sister-in-law, I am young and it is time for work. I can do half of the work at home by myself."

Pei Jingyuan said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about my thick hands doing rough work. Anyway, I won't marry into a wealthy family. It doesn't matter whether my hands are thick or not. Ordinary people don't have many calluses on their hands."

Bai Mengli moved her mouth, wanting to tell her daughter that girls shouldn't say anything about whether or not to marry someone. But then she thought about what her daughter said was right, and she wouldn't marry into a wealthy family, so these rules didn't matter anymore.

Pei Zishu spoke last. He looked at Wushuang with gentle eyes and said with a clear smile: "Don't treat me like paper. I'm much better now. It'll be okay if I do some work."

Although everyone had their own reasons, Wu Shuang knew that the real reason was because she earned all the money in the family, and they were embarrassed to let her spend money to buy people, and they did nothing themselves.

Wushuang could only say: "Father, mother, I have made a lot of money now, and my family can fully support the servants. Since I can relax, there is no need to endure hardship.

Why do I earn money? Of course it is to live a better life. I hold thousands of taels of silver in my hand. In the end, my whole family has to farm and feed pigs, so what is the use of earning this money?

Listen to me when it comes to buying people. You must buy them. At least two men will be responsible for some heavy physical work, and two women can do kitchen work and feed pigs and ducks.

The remaining three little girls and three boys are to be bought, father and Zijue, Zi Shu will have a boy by his side, mother, Jingyuan and I will each have a girl to take care of personal chores.

Let me leave the matter of buying a servant to my parents. I don’t know how to choose a servant, lest I buy the wrong one and it will be difficult to deal with it when the time comes."

Wushuang decided to buy the person with a strong attitude, and everyone no longer refused. Everyone accepted it so easily. In the final analysis, it was for the same reason. If you have money, human life is cheap.

An ordinary servant can be bought for five or six taels of silver, a strong laborer in his prime can only be bought for a dozen or so taels of silver, and the most expensive little maid can be bought for only ten taels of silver.

The maids sold by wealthy families can be worth twenty to fifty taels of silver if they have been trained to be skilled or good-looking.

Only the oirans who have been trained since childhood in brothels and are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the thin horses specially bred by wealthy businessmen, can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.

Bai Mengli often bought people and had experience. After making inquiries, he directly went to the most famous local Ren Ya Zi and selected people from Ren Ya Zi.

Bai Mengli bought the three little girls and the three young men from two people respectively.

Two strong young men, two women in their thirties, and an old man who was almost fifty years old but worth fifty taels of silver bought it from another man.

The reason why an old man is so expensive is because he has good skills in treating animals.

If the family had not suffered a disaster, the whole family would have died in the end, leaving only a little grandson.

The grandson fell ill again and needed to take a lot of medicine. With his ability to treat animals, the old man could not be reduced to prostitution no matter what.

After all, it is a big deal if most of the cows and horses in the family are sick, and the price of a medical visit is not low.

It seemed like it was expensive to buy this old man back for fifty taels of silver, but after he bought it back, he opened a veterinary officer and asked him to sit in court.

There are many people in Fucheng, and there are also many families raising cattle and horses. It only takes less than a year or two to earn back the capital, and the remaining old man can earn as many years as he can live.

As soon as the servants arrived home, everyone felt relaxed immediately. They didn't have to do any work. The servants were left to do the work. I don't know if they were used to doing endless work every day. Suddenly they were free, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Although they were not used to it, they would not compete with the servants for work. Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan simply extended their study time.

They read for half a day every day, and then the two of them took their servants and maids to plant and cultivate fruit trees.

The two also divided the vegetable garden into half, planning to plant half vegetables and half fruits next spring.

Anyway, the vegetable garden is very large, with four acres of land. Originally, two acres of land were reserved, but you can vaguely smell the smell of livestock rearing behind it.

In order to better isolate the smell, the vegetable garden was changed from two acres to four acres. In such a large vegetable garden, it is impossible to eat all the vegetables grown.

The two little ones had something to do, and Bai Mengli and Pei Zan also had something to do. They bought a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and sat together every day to write silently.

Write out the books you have read and leave them to the children at home to read.

Bai Mengli is a truly talented woman with a photographic memory, and Pei Zan is even more capable of observing monuments and recognizing sheep by sight.

Pei Zishu, a great university student, inherited his parents' smart genes and is so talented that even the male protagonist is jealous.

The books published by Bai Mengli and Pei Zanmo can guarantee that there are no errors or omissions.

The two read silently and chatted together every day, and when they were tired, they would go out for a walk, or draw each other's portraits. They raised eyebrows but did not respect each other as guests. Instead, they were affectionate and intimate, and they spread their love.

Pei Zishu walked around Wushuang every day. Wushuang had two days off, so he planned to design more styles of clothes and tops, which would be convenient if he uses them in the future.

Pei Zishu was right next to him helping Wushuang polish his ink. He had a unique vision, and every time he gave Wushuang advice, he could bring different inspirations to Wushuang.

When he was tired of painting, Wushuang chatted with Pei Zishu. Pei Zishu was knowledgeable and humorous. It was a pleasure to chat with him.

In fact, Wushuang knew that Pei Zishu and everyone in the Pei family had noticed something was wrong with her. After all, the original owner did not have exquisite painting skills, and it was impossible for him to be exposed to such a difficult skill as filigree inlay.

But neither Pei Zishu nor anyone else in the Pei family revealed this, and silently accepted the difference between Wushuang and the original owner.

Of course, Wushuang did not intend for anyone to find out that she was not the original owner, so Wushuang mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that she once had a master.

This master was a prisoner who was exiled from the capital. Her painting literacy and filigree inlay skills were all learned from her.

It just so happened that the village where the original owner lived once had such an official who was exiled from the capital. He liked elegance, was good at painting fans, and also liked to make things with his hands.

This man had a lot of money in his hands, and his life was considered a fairy life by the villagers. He had wine to drink, meat to eat, and he could afford leather clothes.

Later, this man got drunk in a tavern in the middle of winter. When he came home at night, he fell asleep in the field drunk and was frozen solid the next morning.

The village buried people on the mountain and turned it into a wild grave. After Wushuang learned about this person from the memory of the original owner, he planned to make him a cheap master.

It is easier for people to believe that Wushuang is a lonely ghost who came from nowhere and has been hiding his abilities since he was a child.

After all, the status of the original owner in the family is really difficult to describe. Her parents and grandparents are extremely patriarchal, so it is normal for her not to tell her parents about her ability to learn.

Sure enough, although Wushuang didn't say it clearly, the few words he revealed were successfully deduced by the clever Pei family to find out the truth.

The truth is that Wushuang was smart since he was a child. After learning a good skill, he knew how to hide his clumsiness to avoid being locked up by his family and forced to do blood sucking every day.

When she grew up and married into the Pei family, she realized that their family was sincerely good to her, so she revealed her skills and was assured of making a lot of money.

Because of this speculation, the Pei family was very cautious when dealing with Wushuang. They never mentioned the original owner's parents for fear of irritating Wushuang, nor did they mention Wushuang returning to her parents' home.

On weekdays, he always takes care of Wushuang's emotions. He feels that Wushuang, whose original family is unhappy, is very pitiful and needs more love from them.

Under such harmonious coexistence, the New Year came quietly, and Bai Mengli directed a group of servants to arrange various New Year matters in an orderly manner.

Wushuang gave all his servants double monthly money as New Year rewards, so on New Year's Day, the entire Pei family was plunged into a sea of ​​laughter and laughter.

The New Year's Eve dinner was a big table with eighteen dishes, all hard dishes. The whole family sat together and ate together, and then they set off firecrackers.

At this time, fireworks and firecrackers were called firecrackers. Although they were not as varied as later generations, they began to take on simple patterns and looked great when set off.

Wushuang bought so much that it took a full hour to put it away. This hour was a carnival between Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan.

Wushuang thought that Pei Zijue would like to set off firecrackers, but he did not expect that the girl Pei Jingyuan would also cheer when setting off firecrackers. The two of them ran around the yard setting off firecrackers and had a great time.

After setting off the firecrackers and watching the New Year's Eve, I ate a meal of New Year's dumplings in the middle of the night and squinted for a while as it was almost dawn.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole village paid New Year greetings to each other, and the family strolled outside all morning.

I wanted to go home and go to sleep, but Bai Mengli and Pei Zan grabbed me by the collar and dragged me out to continue walking.

It is said that it is because you cannot sleep in or be lazy in the first year of junior high school. You must be diligent in the first year of junior high school, and you can be diligent throughout the year.

After just staying up all night and having to walk outside, Wu Shuang felt like he could fall asleep while walking. He was used to his biological clock of going to bed early and getting up early, so he couldn't bear to suddenly stay up late without sleeping.

After being pulled up to a small hill at the end of the village, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the bare surroundings, Pei Zan and Bai Mengli became very interested in poetry. Not only did they compose a poem themselves, but they also asked several children to compose poems.

As a scholar in a family, poetry should not be too simple. Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan shook their heads while composing poetry. Pei Zishu lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then a poem came out.

Then a few people stood on the top of the mountain and started composing poems one by one. Wushuang's already sleepy head felt drowsy after listening to it.

Anyway, writing poems had nothing to do with him. Wushuang yawned several times in succession, swaying his body from side to side, trying to find a place to lean on and take a nap.

Pei Zishu, who was next to him, looked at Wushuang dozing off, raised the corners of his lips, took a step closer to Wushuang, and the two of them stood directly next to each other.

Then Wushuang felt something to rely on, and naturally leaned on Pei Zishu's shoulder, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
