Liang Ziqian invited Chen Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to come to the study.
After sitting opposite each other at the long table, Zheng Yue'e knelt down and sat half a step behind Chen Yu, with the wooden suitcase Chen Yu took with him when he went out next to him.
"Master Liang, these are the teaching skills that are intended for female students." After Chen Yu finished speaking, Zheng Yue'e opened the wooden box and handed Chen Yu the basically newly bound booklet inside.
Chen Yu put it on the table and pushed it in front of Liang Ziqian.
Liang Ziqian poured tea and sent it to Chen Yu, then he took the booklet and opened it. Weaving was a subject that was opened in the girls' school last year. When he saw the booklet on dyeing, Liang Ziqian asked himself in his heart, is it the Su family's deep heritage?
Is it bottomless, or is the Lord of Pearl Village in front of me unfathomable?
After reading the two brochures, I put them aside.
Chen Yu handed over another brochure: "This is the equipment and manpower needed for the weaving and dyeing workshop. The manpower can be selected from the women's school, but Mr. Liang needs to prepare more equipment."
"This is what it should be." Liang Ziqian opened it, and the corresponding personnel required for each required instrument were written clearly and clearly at a glance.
Liang Ziqian felt that many of his colleagues were not as good as the one in front of him.
"Xiangjun, where is the appropriate location for this weaving and dyeing workshop?" Liang Ziqian asked.
Chen Yu smiled: "Master Liang, although I have always been in Qingniu County, I have not been to many places, so the matter of site selection is out of the question."
Liang Ziqian also smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will take care of the location selection. How about we wait until the second day of February before leaving for Dingtao County?"
"Listen to Mr. Liang's arrangements." Chen Yu stood up and left.
Liang Ziqian personally delivered it to the door.
When Zheng Yue'e followed Chen Yu to the dental shop, she asked in a low voice: "Mom, why did you push back on the location selection?"
"Too much is not enough. Site selection is a big deal. We have to give the yamen a chance to do things." Chen Yu wanted to teach Zheng Yue'e and continued: "If I do everything, Mr. Liang will be embarrassed. After all, he is a county official, and this workshop is in the female county.
Under the study, it is all the political achievements within his jurisdiction."
Zheng Yue'e understood clearly and whispered: "Master Liang still cares about this? Doesn't he still have the right to supervise all officials?"
"It doesn't matter whether he cares or not. The officialdom cares about these things. Some people are watching, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world." Chen Yu said this and did not go on. You should learn things slowly.
There are not many dental shops in Qingniu County, and there is only this one.
Ever since Li Sizhong was the county magistrate, it has been clearly stipulated that Qingniu County does not allow human beings among the people, and buying and selling people without permission will be a serious crime if caught. Therefore, no one in Qingniu County dares to go to the people to collect people, only if they really need to find a way out.
, people who are willing to be slaves and maids, go to the dental shop in person to register and create a list for the master's family to choose.
This is also a big reason why when the Li family was in Qingniu County, there were not many maids and women in the family. The county magistrate set an example, and the people would follow suit, and the custom would naturally be different from other places.
The clerk at the dental shop recognized Chen Yu at a glance, and politely invited Chen Yu to sit down and asked: "What kind of person does the gentleman want? I will help you get the brochure and choose."
Chen Yu nodded slightly and thanked her: "Please help me choose a wife and maid."
"Yes." The clerk took the brochure and put it in Chen Yu's hand: "Young Lord, take your time to choose. These are the latest rosters. If you like them, tell the younger ones and they will be called over to have a look."
Chen Yu opened the book, and there were detailed records behind each person's name, down to their height, length, skin color, and whether they were white or black. What was missing was their portraits!
"Yue'e choose with me." Chen Yu handed the brochure to Zheng Yue'e.
The Su family needs nineteen people. In addition to the people in front of the wives in each room, there are also two mothers-in-law and two cooks in the back kitchen.
The couple selected for a long time, selected twenty-four people, and made an appointment to come and see each other in the afternoon.
The young man introduced it very enthusiastically: "Xiangjun, we have two types of contracts here: dead contracts and living contracts."
"What does the death contract say?" Chen Yu asked.
She used the person with the dead contract just for the sake of loyalty, so she did not consider the living contract, even if the price was more expensive, she still used it steadily.
The young man said: "It's enough for a maid and a mother-in-law to make a death contract, but our life in Qingniu County is affluent. It's one tael more expensive than the neighboring county Dingtao County, which costs 6 taels. It has a top-notch stove and good cooking skills."
It's a little more expensive, twenty-five taels of silver, and the Quanzao, which has good cooking skills but is slightly inferior, costs fifteen to twenty-five taels."
Chen Yu lowered his eyes. Is it difficult to understand that five taels of silver can be sold for life? It's not difficult. When he first arrived here, the Su family was too poor to open the pot. Five taels of silver was a lot of money.
"In this way, I have chosen these people and asked them to sign the death contract voluntarily." Chen Yu said.
The boy agreed repeatedly.
Chen Yu and Zheng Yue'e left Yahang. After getting on the carriage, Chen Yu asked: "Where does Yue'e want to visit? Over there the women's school, the women's medical clinic and the restaurant embroidery shop."
"Mom, I want to go to a girls' school." Zheng Yue'e has never been to a girls' school, and she really wanted to see it once she finally got out.
Chen Yu asked Zhou Dabao to go to a girls' school.
At the door of the girls' school, Zheng Yue'e looked at the gilded plaque hanging on the door and said twice: "Mom, are all the girls in our family sent to study here?"
This reminded Chen Yu that the Su family's school was no longer open, but the current girls' school was actually technical. How could those cuties from the Su family study here? It was too young.
"I will take care of the girls myself later," Chen Yu said.
Zheng Yue'e thought happily that it would be okay to buy more servants for her mother-in-law. The girls are all trained by her mother-in-law, so they won't be able to do anything in the future!
Lin Junyan quickly welcomed them out and invited the two of them to sit down in the monastery at the back.
Zheng Yue'e followed Chen Yu and listened quietly to Chen Yu and Lin Junyan talking about the women's school. She felt more and more that her mother-in-law was really powerful and she didn't always go out, but whether she was with Mr. Liang or at the women's school,
What he said was clear and logical, and others could only listen.
"Xiangjun, I have discovered an interesting thing these days." Lin Junyan took a sip of tea: "Those girls in our female school who have studied herbal medicine don't want to go into medicine. Instead, they go to rouge and gouache."
Chen Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "I remember someone. How old is Miss Liang? I haven't seen her yet."
When Miss Liang wanted to do business with Su Funiang, Chen Yu asked Su Funiang to let go and leave the business to Miss Liang and Lin Junyan. In fact, she did not want to get too close to Liang Ziqian.
Now that I no longer have this fear, I naturally have to ask.
Just as Lin Junyan was about to speak, she heard a gentle voice coming from outside: "I heard that Mr. Mingzhuxiang came to the girls' school, and my little girl Liang Yijin came to visit."
Chen Yu looked at Lin Junyan. Lin Junyan nodded slightly, stood up and went out to greet her, saying, "Sister Yijin is very well-informed, and Xiangjun has just arrived."
Chen Yu couldn't hold it, so he stood up and took Zheng Yuee out to welcome him.
The curtain was raised and the girl who came in with a slight nod raised her head. Chen Yu couldn't help but praise in her heart: What a beauty!
