Ouyang family.

When she saw Aunt Yu who went out in the morning and came back in the evening, the third wife was unhappy, "What? Still not working?"

Nianfu rolled his eyes secretly on the side, looking at the leadership level of this question, tsk!

I saw Aunt Yu saying with a smile, "No, no! Sister Mu had some idea. She appetized the county lady as soon as she went there. We only came back after serving dinner. The county lady was considerate and said that Sister Mu still had her mother.

The elders have to take care of us, and we are young girls. It is not easy to be away from home, so we are asked to come back. We also said that we don’t have to go every day in the future. I only asked Sister Mu to leave a few recipes and said that if we get tired of eating, we can invite you later.

she goes."

The third wife became happy after hearing this, and her face became kind when she saw Nian Fu, "You've worked hard too. Go back and rest. I'll still come to the house tomorrow to work as an errand."

Nian Fu responded, but did not leave. Instead, he said, "My wife is kind to my family, so there is no need to be so polite. If you are just calling for the county's wife, I'd better go home and help. Just call me when you need it."

We make tofu every day at home, and I would be too busy without it."

Ah...huh? The third wife suddenly felt sorry for herself, and she thought that this girl was negotiating terms with her! If she was really allowed to work at home on weekdays and only wait for the county lady to summon her, then who would the Ouyang family be?

?If the news reaches the county magistrate's house, will she still want this face?

It's not that the third wife doesn't understand, she just wants to pretend to be confused and expose the matter of reading blessings. She still counts her as a part-time worker in her family, and she only earns 500 yuan a month. She didn't expect this little girl

He actually refused to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb and wanted to settle accounts with her.

But after thinking about it again, I drove this girl away by myself. She agreed without saying anything when asked to help the county magistrate. Now that the matter has been solved beautifully, it is normal for her to want to negotiate some terms now.

, besides, there will be times when she will be used later.

So although the third wife was a little unhappy, she still tried to make things right for herself, "Oh, I forgot and didn't explain it clearly. Now that our house has invited you, naturally you can't be the same as before. From now on, every one of you will

Just take one tael of silver as an example."

Nianfu then asked, "Thank you for your support, Mrs., but the salary is such a high salary, so what should I take care of? If I just light the fire as before, I'm afraid others will blame me."

Wages should be increased, but job responsibilities must also be clear! You can't just give me a few cents and treat people like cattle and horses. In the end, you will still lose money.

The third wife said patiently, "You don't have to light the fire. From now on, you can just take care of the dishes at the county magistrate's house and Mr. Wu. You don't have to take care of breakfast, mainly lunch and dinner." Thinking about it, she said again.

, "Well... if there is a banquet at the house or if you want to eat something special, you can also help Aunt Yu think of some new ideas. Pearl, you take her down to get two new clothes for the second-class maids.

After working in the house, you have to look good when you go out."

ok. Nianfu is not greedy. The pay for such a job is pretty good. To be honest, she and Hui Niang are hawking on the street all day long. Not to mention the hard work, they really can't earn so much.

She followed the maidservant Zhenzhu to retreat, while the third wife asked Aunt Yu about her experience at the county magistrate's house. Unfortunately, Aunt Yu was not there at the critical moment, and she didn't know how Nianfu talked with the county magistrate's wife.

After knowing that she had presented a dish of fresh orange steamed eggs and taro paste with lotus root, the county lady's heart was touched.

"However, the county magistrate's wife has rewarded you with a lot of things. Madam, you see, these cloths are all good things. And these fresh goods, they are all filial to the county magistrate, and they can't be bought with money!"

Aunt Yu also hid her selfishness. She didn't say that Sister Mu knew the rules and didn't take the initiative to ask for it. Instead, she seemed to have gotten these good things. The third wife looked at the gift again and felt happy. Although it was a blessing.

Let's take a look at the wages, but these gifts alone are worth more than ten taels of silver. Calculating it this way, I don't lose money at all.

Thinking of this, the slight displeasure with Nianfu's request for a salary increase disappeared. Instead, he generously took two inconspicuous horses and said, "You have worked hard too. This one is for you, and this one is for Sister Mu."

Seeing that the third wife finally had a smile on her face, Aunt Yu also wanted to learn how to chant blessings and talk about the conditions, so she shyly asked for something, "Madam, since Sister Mu is not allowed to light the fire, there is only one person missing in the kitchen.

Do you want to add another one?"

The third wife suddenly became unhappy again, "There was no such person in the kitchen before, so why does it seem that we can't live without her now?"

Aunt Yu didn't expect to be disappointed, but that's all she had to say, so she had to bite the bullet and continue, "It's not that I want to be lazy, it's just that Sister Zou just left, and there is still a gap that has not been filled.

Well. Do you think we should add one first?"

The third wife is wondering if this is going to be over yet? It’s not you who pleases the county’s wife. Sister Mu just comes to raise terms after she has finished her work. Why do you join in the fun? Let me use my money to do you a favor?

dream!

"Don't look at me. I don't know! I've heard about Mrs. Zou. She's not really good at getting things done. It doesn't make any difference if she has more of her or less of her. In my opinion, there are enough people in the kitchen right now. If you can't control it,

I’ll go with someone else right now!”

After being taught such a lesson, Aunt Yu looked disgraced and retreated. However, Nianfu had already returned with new clothes and stood outside the door and heard the last few words. Aunt Yu felt even more bored and gave her a piece of cloth.

, slipped away with an excuse.

Nianfu went in again and thanked the third wife before leaving. Pearl had no conflict with the little girl, so she kindly said, "Don't talk about this outside today, so as not to make Madam Yu jealous."

I said blessings and thanked her, thinking that Miss Pearl looked pretty good. I heard that except for a young master, the third wife had no concubine children so far. I thought that the rule of the third wife was still very strict, and it would be difficult to make a living under someone like her.

Better off.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Nianfu secretly drew a line of friendship in his mind, but he learned the lesson from the reward money incident last time. He didn't try to get too close to the person, he just said thank you in a kind manner and left a good impression.

Gone home.

On the other hand, Pearl looked at her back and sighed secretly. She did not ask her mother to be more valuable than her son. If she could have a caring daughter like Huiniang, she would have some hope for the rest of her life. Otherwise, what else would she have when she is old and golden?

Thinking about it?

Suddenly, he saw the maid in the courtyard sneaking in a young man while it was already dark. Pearl was afraid that there was something wrong with him, so she suddenly became serious and wanted to question him.

Unexpectedly, the maid waved her hand and whispered, "My wife asked us to invite people here."

Pearl took a closer look and recognized that it was no one else but Bai Xuan, the scholar beside the eldest young master, who was looking at him with a flattering and humble smile.

Pearl understood immediately. She was quite disdainful of this kind of seller in her heart, but her face was calm and she just said, "It just so happens that there is no one there, Madam. Come in quickly."

The maid led Bai Xuan in. Pearl originally wanted to follow him and listen, but after thinking about it, she felt it was boring and finally went back to the room by herself.

The third wife over there was a little stunned when Bai Xuan told how Ouyang and Nian Fu met by chance. She originally thought that the two were secretly colluding, but now it seems that they really met by chance. But the always aloof young master is willing to

He stood up for Nianfu and wanted to recommend her to the county magistrate, which could be regarded as showing he was interested in this girl.

Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable. It was like something that she had taken a fancy to and wanted to use, but someone else had also taken a liking to it and wanted to use it too. This made the third wife unhappy.

But after all, Nianfu is a person, not a thing. The third wife still has to think about how to deal with this matter, so she has no intention of talking to anyone anymore.

"It's hard for you to make this trip. I made a note of this in my mind." She signaled the maid to take the money to reward Bai Xuan. The third wife wanted to send him away.

But Bai Xuan knelt on one knee and said, "Although I am waiting in the main room, my heart is for the third wife. If the wife rewards me and allows me to follow Brother Qing, I will go through fire and water, and I am willing to do so."

The third wife actually smiled, "Your family is from a big family, why do you want to come to Brother Qing's place? Aren't you afraid that my mother will scold you?"

Bai Xuan said with a smile, "This slave is not sensible, but he also knows that when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Although the eldest young master is the master of the Ouyang family, the second young master is also the master of the Ouyang family. The eldest young master is already old.

There is no need for slaves to worry, but they can always watch with cold eyes. There is still a place where slaves are needed at the Second Young Master. As for my wife, although they are elders, they are also from the Ouyang family. As long as the wife opens her mouth, any slave will dare to disobey

Woolen cloth?"

The third wife looked at him with a smile, "I don't see that you still have a sharp mouth. I think I have learned a lot from your eldest master over the years. Okay, you can go ahead. I know this well."

Bai Xuan thanked him, took the money and left. He felt that there was hope for promotion, and all the bones in his body were three pounds lighter. Unexpectedly, the third wife turned her back and turned cold, saying, "Such a ruthless and unreasonable bitch, you still want to lead brother Qing into trouble."

,No way!”

※

Nianfu, who was carrying a piece of cloth home, took out a delicate little purse from her arms. The hosta had been given to her privately when she left the county office. Since there was Aunt Yu outside, she was too embarrassed to open it.

Look, I didn't take it out until I got home.

But when they saw two small silver ingots of one tael stuffed inside, the whole family was overjoyed. With these two taels of silver, Nianfu could resume his job at Ouyang's house, and his wages were also increased, so the family's livelihood was not worried for the time being.

Hui Niang decided immediately, "The cloth and money will be reserved for you to buy a dowry, and the money you earned at Ouyang's family will be the same. For food and clothing at home, I can earn money by selling tofu. In this way, in the first half of the year, I can almost have enough money."

With seven or eight taels of silver, I can buy you a few dowries."

In fact, Nianfu still had concerns about the Hou family's marriage, but the whole family unanimously approved it. Her objection was useless, so she just asked, "How can I make money now that it's hard for my mother to go out to do business?"

Hui Niang smiled, "You don't have to worry about that, your mother has her own way."

It turns out that during the Chinese New Year, the food consumption in various households is huge. The mother and daughter have been selling tofu for a few days. They didn’t go out today, and some people came to ask for it. Fortunately, there was a lot of bean curd when making it in the morning, so Madam Hui bought two plates of tofu, and it was quickly finished.

sold.

Later, Father Shi came up with an idea. Anyway, Aunt Song, who opened a restaurant, had also opened her own business. Why not set up a sales agency at his home and hers respectively, and give Aunt Song some dividends there, so Hui Niang didn't have to run away.

There is also one more sales channel.

Madam Hui thought it was good, so she asked Mrs. Li next door to accompany her, and talked to Mrs. Song, who was very talkative and agreed. Knowing that her family was in a difficult situation, Madam Hui didn't want any dividends from her, and only asked her to supply the tofu and other things to the restaurant.
