She sighed, walked back to the chair, sat down and said softly: "Everyone knows the current situation. It is really difficult for us to live a good life, but it is not completely impossible. Let me make one thing clear first. Yujie, how did you sell these things? Will people find out? "
Yujie said quickly: "Grandma, don't worry. The son of Mrs. Zhang who is at the back door is the one that this servant entrusted to work. Aunt Zhang and his son are extremely honest people, otherwise they would not be sent to this remote place to guard the back door." I will give them a little bit of the money from the sale as running expenses. Thank you very much. They also know our situation and will never leak it." At this point, I couldn't help but scratch my neck and feel cold. He hummed: "Then again, so what if you know? Come and ask us, slaves will have their own answers to them. At worst, tell them all about their deductions from the monthly salary, and see who is more disgraced."
Fu Qiuning sneered and said: "You have lost your ability now. With such arrogance, why didn't you dare to go out when the young marquis came?" After saying this, Yu Jie lowered his head and sat on the horse in frustration. . But Fu Qiuning laughed again and said: "Bah, it turns out he is just a guy who dares to say but not do anything, and he still pretends to be a hero in front of me."
After speaking, he said seriously: "In any case, Yu Jie's idea is wrong. Since we are in this mansion, once someone discovers that we are making things to sell, even if we are not labeled as thieves, this will corrupt the mansion." We can't bear the accusation of reputation. Do you think the old lady, Mrs. Marquis and the young Marquis's wives will seriously ask us why we want to be used as objects? Don't be stupid, they hope that we, the eyesores, will disappear quickly. Let them be out of sight and out of mind. There is no such thing as fairness in this world, and you two should feel it in your hearts. Therefore, the person in charge must be reliable. Yu Jie just said that the mother and son of this family are very special. Reliable, I think it’s about the same. Otherwise, how could we have been in peace for the past ten months? No one has come to the door.”
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Niang also said: "Grandma, don't worry, the mother and son of the Zhang family are also very close to the slave. We were neighbors back then. If the slave's father and mother were not greedy for money, the slave should..." At this point , suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly stopped talking and refused to say anything more, but his eye circles were red. Suddenly, Yujie lost his voice and said, "Isn't it right? Brother Zhang has refused to marry until now. Is it because of you, Sister Yuniang?"
Yu Niang nodded, Fu Qiuning and Yu Jie couldn't help but sigh for her, secretly thinking that parents who dislike the poor and love the rich are really bad. Look, Yu Niang's supposedly happy life has been ruined by them. Fu Qiuning felt even more relieved after hearing what Yu Niang said about the character of the mother and son. He also heard Yu Jie say that they were determined not to do this. Just because they knew Fu Qiuning was in a pitiful situation, they made an exception and quietly helped. , so there is no need to worry anymore.
"Since there is no problem with this path, the only thing left is how to sell things. Just counting on these jewelry and brocades is not enough. What if we just sit back and have nothing? Are we going to drink from the northwest wind?" After Fu Qiuning finished speaking, he saw Yu Niang and Yu Jie Du showed a worried look, then smiled and said: "I have a few ideas now. Can you guys listen to them? First, we are all women. We are all good at handicrafts. We can embroider some and sell them. It's a source of making money. In addition, I told Yu Jie today that there must be plants that can be used as spices in the front yard garden, and they will be sold later. There are also those flowers. I don't know much about them, but it looks like they are there. There are roses, roses, chrysanthemums, peonies, and peonies. Cutting these fresh flowers and selling them is the second way to make money. Then, there are some pens and papers in the study. I look at some of the exquisite landscapes, flowers and birds I usually draw. Putting it in some calligraphy and painting shops to sell is the third way to make money. With these three ways of making money, we can afford our food and clothing. In addition, not only that, I also want to plant some corn and soybeans in the backyard. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., it is best to raise a few more chickens, ducks and geese, so that they can lay eggs to replenish Feng'er and Jiao'er's health, and wait until next year to hatch the cubs."
She finished speaking in one breath and saw that both Yu Jie and Yu Niang were stunned. It took a long time before Yu Jie smiled and said: "After what grandma said before, I only feel that there is only a dead end in front of me. Who knows that you will be in a dark place in a blink of an eye?" , unexpectedly came up with so many ideas, this servant suddenly felt that the future is bright again." After saying that, Yu Niang also smiled and nodded: "Isn't it? I feel the same way."
"Whatever you think is good, then let's do it like this. Now that spring has just begun, we are not busy with these things. We still have some rice and noodles, and we also have a little money. In my opinion, we should make two meals for Feng'er and Jiao'er tomorrow. It's important to put on clothes. Look at them dressed like that. When the young marquis came today, I felt like my face was burning. There were too many things that happened today and I was so busy. Besides, I didn't have time to prepare new clothes for them at the moment. The clothes made the young Marquis think that I deliberately made the two children look alike in front of him. Although I am not talented, I still have a bit of arrogance. I hope he will not get it wrong. "
"Tell me to see it, but grandma is too careless. How could the young marquis notice the young master and the young lady?" Yu Niang sneered, obviously putting aside the fear of rank and so on, and deeply despised Jin Fengju's ruthlessness in her heart.
Fu Qiuning sneered and said: "It's fine if he doesn't pay attention. There are so many fights in this wealthy family. If I really get the favor of the young marquis, I don't know if I can live to grow up. Although I am ignored by him now , but it allows me to stay safe and not have to get involved in those fights, which is a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, for a stupid person like me, I might have been killed and still be buried in my bones."
Yu Niang and Yu Jie both laughed and said: "Of course, Grandma Zhenzhen just said these words, she seems to have seen through this rich and powerful family. If you hadn't said so, to be honest, even the two of us would I don’t believe that grandma really doesn’t care about the little marquis. How can there be a woman who doesn’t look forward to her husband coming over to dote on her so much? Just let you say it, it’s true. Although life is more miserable, at least you can keep it. A thorough one. It’s not uncommon to hear of other families doting on their concubines and destroying their wives, but more often than not, it’s the wives who torture their concubines very much.”
The three of them talked for a while, and Fu Qiuning said, "Let's all take a rest. We still have things to do tomorrow." So she rested on the kang. Zang Feng and Zang Jiao slept at the end of the kang, which was warmer. She slept on the kang. Although the tail is not as warm as the head of the kang, it is spring after all, and it is not as cold and uncomfortable as winter.
I slept soundly. I woke up early the next morning and looked at the clock. It turned out to be the end of Mao hour. According to modern parlance, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning. She insists on going to bed early and getting up early just because she exercises every day. Otherwise, given her working hours, she should still be sleeping in bed at this time.
