Chapter 263 The Handmaid That Came To The Door (2 More)
At the county government office, Chen Qingshan explained the matter in a calm tone.
When the county magistrate learned that Chen Qingshan had single-handedly taken down an entire group of bandits in Qipan Mountain, beheaded twenty-eight bandits, and rescued eighteen trapped women, he was dumbfounded!
He looked at the master and chief clerk beside him at a loss.
The master and the chief clerk were also dumbfounded.
The master was shocked.
The boss is scared.
The chief clerk has a close relationship with Yao Yuanwai. Yao Yuanwai once said this...
Who did Yao Yuanwai offend?!
How can you destroy a chessboard mountain by yourself?
"Dr. Yao Gang avenged his personal vendetta and actually instigated bandits from Qipan Mountain to rob my Qiaojia Village. He also asked you to make decisions for the villagers of my Qiaojia Village."
Chen Qingshan said and glanced at the chief clerk. The chief clerk was so frightened that he almost knelt down: I just listened, I didn't participate!
The county magistrate knew very well that Chen Qingshan was still willing to talk like this, mainly because he had killed the bandits in Qipan Mountain and half of the anger in his heart had been removed.
Otherwise, the man standing in front of me at this moment would not know what kind of aura he is.
"Inspection Qian, you immediately take people to arrest Yao Gang and bring him to justice!" The county magistrate immediately gave the order seriously!
"Yes!" The inspector who responded was the one who had followed Chen Qingshan's house before. He looked at Chen Qingshan in shock and agreed to order someone.
Chen Qingshan called all the women to come up again, knelt down and told them to tell the county magistrate what would happen next. Then he and Qiao Chu went back to the back alleys of Yiqian Street.
Chen Qingshan and his wife left, and the women shrank and did not dare to speak.
The county magistrate did not dare to show off, and asked them pleasantly what they thought and requested.
I don't know what Qiaoqiao told these women in private. Anyway, the women felt that they would never be able to go back home.
The women who had lost their innocence and could no longer have children had no way of surviving back home, so they all asked to follow Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu as slaves and maids.
The county magistrate misunderstood magnificently: Could it be that General Chen brought such a large group of people here just to get a group of maids?
So the county magistrate very neatly asked the people below to apply for a deed of sale, and sent the person and the deed to Chen Qingshan's home!
Chen Qingshan went to the horse market to sell horses and carts. Qiao Chu returned to the back alley of Yiqian Street. Before he entered the door, the door of the small courtyard next door opened. Yueyue, who had been ransomed by Aquan, came out and held her hand.
There was also a baggage in it.
"Master, I have embroidered some things these days. See if you like them. If you like them, you can keep them for yourself. If you don't like them, can you sell them to Sister Yuehong?"
Qiao Chu opened the door and entered the house, then took it and opened it to read. After entering the yard, she went to sit on the lounge chair familiarly.
I have to say that Yueyue is very attentive. This bundle contains not only silk handkerchiefs with exquisite embroidery, but also small clothes for the children. They are all made of fine cotton, with fine stitching, and the style looks very suitable.
Qiao Chu likes the clothes, but Qiao Chu doesn't like to use this kind of silk handkerchief: it looks good, but it doesn't absorb water and doesn't wipe sweat easily. It's just a piece of clothing.
Yueyue pointed to the bottom of the bundle: "I also made two muslin handkerchiefs. See if they can be used."
Qiao Chu took a look and saw that it was really good!
This girl is really attentive!
"Okay, I'll keep this set of clothes as well. Give the rest to Yue Hong and let her sell it in Tianxiangfang."
Qiao Chu took out the clothes and cotton handkerchief from the bag, and handed the rest to Yueyue.
Yueyue was very happy to get Qiao Chu's approval. As she was about to go out, there was a knock on the door and a man's voice: "Is Boss Chen at home?"
"What's going on?" Chen Qingshan's voice came from outside. It should be that Chen Qingshan came back from selling horses and happened to meet him.
"Ah! Boss Chen is behind me..." The man was surprised.
Not knowing what he said, Chen Qingshan became furious: "Who asked you to bring this person here? Why did you bring him here? How can he bring him away to me!"
Why is there such a quarrel?!
what happened?
Qiao Chu was stunned, looked at each other at Yueyue, got up and walked to the door.
Outside the door, eighteen girls who had just taken a trolley to the county government office stood crowded together behind a government servant, looking at Chen Qingshan in fear.
The deed of sale was signed, but the master didn’t want me...
The girls are all afraid: If the master doesn't want it, will they be betrayed?!
Qiao Chu went out and listened to the government officer's explanation, and quickly understood: the county magistrate must have made a mistake.
However... Qiao Chu glanced at Qiao Qiao who was standing in the crowd. Qiao Qiao happened to be observing Qiao Chu. When Qiao Chu looked at her, she was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
Qiao Chu stopped the argument: "Okay, let me stay. You go back and tell the county magistrate that I will accept it."
"Yes." The yamen servant breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his hands, and left.
You don’t want the eighteen maids who came to your door?!
There must be something wrong with this brain!
"Thank you, Master!" The girls thought that Chen Qingshan didn't want them anymore, but unexpectedly, it turned out that Qiao Chu was willing to accept it and they immediately thanked them one after another.
"What do you need so many people for?" Chen Qingshan was in a bad mood: These chattering women gave him a headache!
Qiao Chu patted Chen Qingshan's arm and said warmly: "Listen to me."
This gentle tone was very rare. It immediately made Chen Qingshan feel less irritable. He became much calmer and agreed obediently: "Okay. You say it."
Qiao Chu turned to Yueyue: "Are you willing to teach them embroidery? Will you take them to do embroidery work with them in the future?"
"I do." Yueyue agreed without saying a word.
"Well, from now on you will do needlework with Yueyue. If the things you make are approved by Yueyue, you can take them to Tianxiangfang for consignment. After you get the money..."
Without saying a word, Qiao Chu handed over the eating, drinking and subsequent training of these eighteen women to Yueyue.
And Yueyue, who was suddenly promoted to a steward, also successfully qualified for a monthly allowance: food and accommodation are included every month, and there are still two or two months of allowance, plus 10% of the profits from the embroidery sold by all the girls.
Return to the moon.
Yueyue is a talented person. She quickly formulated management measures for the girls in front of Qiao Chu.
How many embroideries should the girls make every month? After all the embroideries are made, after deducting everyone’s daily expenses, as well as costs other than embroidery thread and fabric, everyone will make a net profit based on the embroidery they made.
Take 50% of the silver...
As the owner, Qiao Chu doesn't even need to worry about it. He likes to withdraw 40% of the net profit every month.
So, have I accidentally become what is called a "capitalist" in a certain small world?!
"Then where do they live?" Chen Qingshan subconsciously did not want to live in the same courtyard with these people.
Qiao Chu pointed to the next door: "Isn't there still an empty yard?"
The yard that Xu Jingye bought for his son, princes and grandsons happened to be vacant. When Xu Jingye left, he generously transferred the property to Qiao Chu's family, just in time for them to live in it.
"Okay." Chen Qingshan agreed, took Qiao Chu's hand and walked into the house, "Don't worry about this kind of thing in the future, it's not like we don't have money..."
Qiaoqiao raised her head, feeling a little desperate: from beginning to end, Chen Qingshan didn't even look at him.
How could such an indomitable hero be so submissive to a woman?!
Why is this lucky woman not me?!
"Why did you keep them? You knew there was something wrong with that Qiaoqiao!" Chen Qingshan asked unhappily as soon as he entered the yard.
"You also saw it?" Qiao Chu was very surprised at Chen Qingshan's sensitivity, so he explained...
