"How much do you want?" Tang Zangyue picked up Sister Ling, pinched her nose, and asked.
Sister Ling tilted her head, as if thinking about how to describe it?
Immediately, Sister Ling spread her arms and said, "I think so!"
"Oh, that's all..."
Sister Ling could hear the disappointment in her grandmother's tone, and she was obviously not satisfied with the answer she gave. She hurriedly corrected: "It's so long from here to the entrance of the courtyard... No, no, it's to the entrance of the village. No, no, it's still wrong,
It’s a long journey to the capital!”
Tang Zangyue laughed loudly, "You are really good at finding descriptions."
Sister Ling was shy and looked at Tang Zangyue with bright eyes: "What about grandma? Does grandma miss Ling'er?"
Tang Zangyue: "Of course."
"How much do you want it?"
Tang Zangyue copied: "From here to the capital."
"..." Sister Ling pouted, obviously dissatisfied with her perfunctory approach.
When Tang Zangyue saw Aunt Liu, she changed the subject and asked, "Is there something going on at home?"
Aunt Liu's eyebrows moved slightly.
Tang Zangyue: "Is there really something wrong?"
Aunt Liu nodded and mentioned Wang Xiaoliu's matter. Tang Zangyue put down Sister Ling, took out a few candy figures, patted Sister Ling on the back and said: "Go, go with your two brothers and aunts."
Play."
Sister Ling suddenly smiled and raised her fingers at Tang Zangyue, "Grandma, lower your head, Ling'er has something to tell you."
Tang Zangyue leaned down and was slapped——
When she calmed down and covered half of her face with her palms, she saw that Sister Ling had arrived at the entrance of the hospital and shouted to her: "I love my grandmother the most!"
Before Tang Zangyue could respond, Sayazi ran away.
Tang Zangyue murmured: "Why are you running? Grandma won't eat you..."
Then, he turned around and met Aunt Liu's envious eyes.
Tang Zangyue coughed twice, "Ahem, this child was still detained in the General's Mansion before, but when she came to Jiuli Village, she acted like a crazy girl. Sister Liu, please take care of her in the future, so that she doesn't get too angry.
It’s lawless.”
Aunt Liu said respectfully: "Yes, old lady."
"By the way, you just said that Mrs. Wang Xiaoliu can help sew clothes?"
"Yes, madam."
Tang Zangyue: "Then give her one to try. Remember to write down the dimensions and give them to Wang Xiaoliu. If you are really qualified, even if your family can't pay you enough to provide food, you can still convey the message as it is."
"Okay madam."
Seeing that the other party had finished his response and remained motionless, Tang Zangyue raised his eyebrows: "What? Is there anything else?"
"Old lady..."
Seeing that she hesitated again and again, Tang Zangyue lost patience and said in a more serious tone, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Aunt Liu was startled and her eyebrows trembled slightly, like a frightened little rabbit.
Tang Zangyue: "..."
Tang Zangyue had no choice but to soften her attitude and said: "We are all members of our own family, what is there to say? You still have to change your temper. Although you are not required to be more enthusiastic when doing business, you need to be brave when facing your own family members.
bigger."
In fact, she was also wondering why, despite the many concubines born to Aunt Liu with such a temperament, none of them inherited Aunt Liu's temperament? Could it be that the Xiao family's genes were too strong?
The deceased General Xiao was still more powerful.
Aunt Liu then said: "Old madam, can this business with Director Luo be big?"
Tang Zangyue raised his eyebrows, it turns out he was asking this.
Tang Zangyue said: "Although Director Luo is in charge of the kitchen purchasing of Luo's residence, most of them are serving the master's family. As for the servants below, they are all as simple as they come. Even if I need to buy the kimchi and miso you made, I can't do it."
I won’t buy in large quantities…”
Seeing the light in Aunt Liu's eyes disappear, Tang Zangyue added: "But by chance today, I found another way."
Aunt Liu was extremely anxious, "What's the way?"
Meeting Tang Zangyue's smiling gaze, Aunt Liu realized her eagerness and said with a trembling voice: "Old Madam..."
Tang Zangyue did not embarrass her and said: "The benefits we have brought to Jiuli Village are all seen by the village chief and his family. The village chief has a little girl who married into the town. What a coincidence, she did it by purchasing
Road, he knows the boss behind the restaurant in the town, and that boss is not from the town. He is now in the county, and he has opened more than one restaurant. I have asked the village chief's brother-in-law to open the road.
Whether this stepping stone is effective or not depends entirely on your skills."
Aunt Liu's face turned red and she stammered: "I, how can I speak so powerfully like the old lady... I, I will go to that Wang Xiaoliu first and tell him, old lady, are you willing to give his wife
a chance."
Tang Zangyue clicked her tongue and looked at Aunt Liu's fleeing figure, thinking that labor really does train people.
In the past, Aunt Liu was just like Sister Lin. She was always on medication, and she often had to take a pulse for reassurance. The original owner was worried about Aunt Liu's health, fearing that she would die if she was not careful one night.
So, what is it about Aunt Liu’s poor health? It’s obviously caused by lying down for a long time. She needs to exercise more and sweat.
However, an overloaded workload will exhaust the body, which is why she agreed to Wang Xiaoliu's request.
After dinner, Wang Xiaoliu was about to carry a steamed bun away, but Tang Zangyue stopped him.
She asked Wang Xiaoliu to carry the warm noodles on the kitchen stove, and added: "Your wife is in confinement now, and it is inconvenient to move around. I can only wait for you to finish eating and bring it back to her. Tonight
If the noodles you make are lumpy, ask her not to dislike them and just eat them.
After the confinement period, if there is a place where you and your wife can be used, our Xiao family will not be polite, and you don’t think that our Xiao family will not pay wages for the time being."
Wang Xiaoliu quickly shook his head, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. The food provided by the old lady's house is beyond the reach of even working as a small laborer in a wealthy family."
After Wang Xiaoliu left in a hurry, Tang Zangyue's eyes fell on Xiao Ling'er, who had a little loss of appetite.
How come you are so cheerful and playful when you go out, and then when you come back, you look like a frosted eggplant? How come you?
Seeing her grandmother's eyes falling on her little niece inquiringly, Xiao Yuenong, who was not in a hurry to help her aunt wash the dishes after dinner, explained to her grandmother with her little niece on her back: "Didn't my mother say yesterday that the gender of the baby cannot be changed and depends on the man?"
In the morning, the children in the village had to help the family with farm work. When Grandma came back, Sister Ling met the children in the village and told them about it, but... everyone thought it was the girl."
"Yeah." Tang Zangyue was not surprised.
In ancient times, it was women who were oppressed. The reason for not being able to give birth to children was because of women’s health. The reason for not being able to give birth to boys was because of women’s unhealthy stomachs. In ancient times, there was only an imperial examination for men. Even women born into a noble family could only manage the back house.
I watched helplessly as my husband married one beautiful young lady after another.
Even if the people in the village are poor and there is no such thing as taking concubines, as long as those conditions are met, who would not have three wives and four concubines? Even in later generations, under the constraints of marriage certificates, there will be incidents of infidelity.
The only difference is that in later generations, women can get divorced and share their property when faced with cheating. Even more extreme, you cheat and I cheat too, to see whose hat is greener.
