Early in the morning, Qi Yun and Qi Zhao went to the front yard together, and gave the stewards a reward before the end of the year.
This wax reward is a red envelope that ordinary wealthy households give to their subordinates at the end of the year. Usually, they are given to them during the twelfth lunar month, and it is an extra payment in addition to the monthly money.
Now the situation is better, both Zhuangzi and the shop are making better progress than in previous years, and the stewards and shopkeepers under their hands are also working harder than in previous years. As the owners, Qi Zhao and Qi Yun have increased the wax reward by three times, so that these people are People can have a good year too.
Because of this year's many prizes, the faces of every steward and shopkeeper are beaming.
In the end, they came out to work to make money and eat. Usually, it was common for them to compare each other with each other about how much money their shop Zhuangzi could earn, but it was true that they could get their share when they finally settled the money.
Now that I have received an extra harvest of wax, it is a festive thing anyway, and at the end of the year, everyone is happy to be happy, even those who always like to quarrel with others. Be kind and say something auspicious.
For a time, it was very happy.
In the backyard, Ye Jiao let Xiao Su hold her clothes and Xu Bao herself, and went to Liu's yard together.
The lady tailor was already waiting inside. When Mrs Liu saw them entering the door, she raised her hand and greeted Ye Jiao: "Come on, lady, let the lady tailor measure it for you. This dress can be changed as well, so hurry up a few years ago. It can still be done.”
The lady tailor responded quickly, with a smile on her face, she looked extraordinarily docile.
With someone else, she would definitely not be happy to have her work overtime like this at the end of the year.
But the Qi family is not someone else, this is a wealthy family, and there is no one richer than them in the eight villages in ten miles. In addition, Qi Erlang's shops have been opened all over recently, and others who want to flatter can't flatter them. They usually give money as a reward. enough for them to eat.
Because the shop of the tailor's wife's family has undertaken the business of the Qi family, other ladies who have a little face are also willing to come to their own house to cut clothes.
Now it's the Qi family who said they should step up. Even if the lady tailor removes all the embroidered women in the shop, she must do the Qi family's affairs first.
Ye Jiao walked over, took off her fluffy cloak, stood on the wooden low stool, raised her head slightly and asked the tailor to measure, and asked, "Mother, can you measure it?"
Liu Shi smiled and turned the Buddha bead string on his hand and said, "After measuring it, she remembers it better than you."
Last year, Mrs. Fang was sulking with herself and missed a day of tailoring. Mrs. Fang was distressed. Since then, she has always kept in mind the time when the lady tailor came to the door.
The one next to Mrs Fang is okay, she likes to take advantage, she is particularly stingy, the money for cutting clothes comes from Mrs Liu, she lost the advantage if she didn't cut it, so she remembered it clearly.
From then on, every time the lady tailor came, Mrs. Fang seemed to be able to smell it, and she always rushed over in a hurry, for fear of missing it again.
Liu Shi turned the beads again: "Just now she came with the stone, and she has already measured it, and it's not long since she left. Now you and Xu Bao are missing."
Ye Jiao turned around, straightened her arms and looked at the lady tailor holding a ruler. She said in her mouth, "I see Xu Bao has enough clothes, and I won't have to make them for a while."
Mrs Liu picked up the tea cup and said with a smile, "You didn't know when you were born, this child's body is long against the wind, and it looks the same every day. Let him wear small clothes, if he wears big clothes, he will inevitably stumble, so naturally he has to do it just right."
Ye Jiao nodded after hearing this, wrote down what she said, and then looked at the tailor's lady.
The lady tailor just took the ruler and wrote down Ye Jiao's size in her heart before smiling: "Madam, second young lady, it's okay, children always grow faster, I'm used to children's clothes, this size You'll know how to give it a little hug."
Xu Bao is now in Madam Liu's arms, awake, biting his fingers and playing.
When Liu Shi heard the words, she asked Mrs. Liu to give Xu Bao to her.
Mrs. Liu passed the child to the tailor, but did not leave, but put her hands together slightly, for fear that she would bump the child.
The tailor's lady gave it back to Mrs. Liu with a slight sway twice, with a smile on her face: "I wrote it down, this dress will be delivered in a few days."
Mrs Liu nodded and said in a gentle voice, "It's hard for you to make this trip, and you can take these rewards." Then, someone handed over a purse.
The tailor's lady pinched and found out that there were three small silver ingots inside. She smiled and said a few auspicious words before leaving.
Ye Jiao hugged her own Xu Bao, sat down at the table, stretched out her hand and squeezed a piece of sand cake on the table to eat.
Xu Bao watched his mother eat. He was obviously still a baby who could only eat milk, but he took his own fingers away from his mouth, and he had a small mouth and seemed to want to eat.
Ye Jiao looked down at him and smiled at Xu Bao, then Ye Jiao squeezed the little thing's face into her arms so that he wouldn't see it, and quickly put all the sand cakes in her hands into her own mouth.
Liu Shi looked strange: "Jiao Niang, what are you doing?"
Ye Jiao hugged Xu Bao again, touched his forehead, and explained to Mrs. Liu, "Xu Bao always likes to watch my husband and I eat, and if we don't give him something to eat, he will not be happy. "
Mrs. Liu said, "Second Young Mistress, Young Master is now almost four months old and can eat some egg yolks and vegetable puree."
Ye Jiao also knew this, nodded, and reached out to squeeze the sand cake, and said in her mouth, "I'm feeding him, but this kid likes to stare at the dim sum and eat it when he sees it, so he simply won't let him see it. That's it." Afterwards, Mrs. Liu saw Ye Jiao pulling Xu Bao into her arms, letting him lie down in her arms, blocking his sight, and Ye Jiao took the opportunity to put the sand cake into her mouth.
The movements are done in one go, flowing smoothly, and at a glance, you know that you are very skilled.
Looking at Liu Shi, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell, so she could only go with her.
At this time, a servant trotted over and said, "Madam, Second Young Mistress, someone outside wants to find Second Young Mistress."
Today was the day Ye Pingrong said he would bring Qi Ming back, so Ye Jiao thought it was Ye Pingrong.
But Liu Shi asked, "Did he say who he is?"
The servant said: "I didn't say it, but I looked at it, like the man the second young master asked the old woman to deal with last time."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Shi knew something.
Ye Erlang was the only one Qi Yun asked the old woman to deal with.
After all, there are not many people who can make Qi Yun use this method. After all, there are still many people who want to be shamed in this world, and there are too few people like Ye Er.
Although Liu Shi knew that Ye Jiao had broken up with him, but in the final analysis, this was Ye Jiao's business, and she didn't want to interfere, otherwise she would lose Ye Jiao's face, so she picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: " Jiao Niang, it should be Ye Erlang outside. I'll handle this for you, just make up your mind. "
The reason why she said that was because Liu Shi was trying to keep Ye Jiao's face.
But to Ye Jiao, what Liu Shi knew was something she didn't know.
The reason why Qi Yun used ruthless means to drive Ye Erlang and his wife away last time was to prevent them from disturbing Ye Jiao, so naturally he would not tell his wife about this again, to save her trouble.
But for Ye Erlang, even if Ye Jiao didn't know the last dispute, Ye Jiao didn't have the slightest affection. In addition, Ye Pingrong broke up with him and broke up the relationship, so he was a stranger.
Little ginseng is not considered by ordinary people, and it is straight-forward to the world.
In her heart, things in the world are nothing but black and white, very clear.
After listening to Liu's words, Ye Jiao didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "If he comes, I will not see him, and now I have nothing to do with him. The husband mentioned to me that he owes money, if he comes to pay it back. , go and tell Xianggong that, if not, don't worry about him."
When the servant saw that Mr. Liu didn't speak, he knew that Mrs. Liu had acquiesced. He responded and ran to the front to spread the word.
On the other hand, Mrs Liu nodded to Ye Jiao secretly, and her eyes became warmer when she looked at Ye Jiao.
In addition to teaching Ye Jiao how to behave, she also taught Ye Jiao a lot of things about housekeeping. Now that Ye Jiao's idea was good, Mrs. Liu felt a sense of relief.
It's like I have carefully cultivated a flower bone, and now I am happy that the flower is in full bloom.
But Liu Shi always felt sorry for Ye Jiao, for fear that she would be sad because she thought about Ye Erlang again.
After putting down the tea cup, Mrs Liu smiled and changed the topic: "I ordered a few warm sleeves before, and the lady tailor also brought them. It just so happened that you came, pick one, and choose one for Erlang."
Ye Jiao hadn't heard the name of Warm Sleeves, so when she looked up, she saw that the table beside it was covered with cloth, with a row of fluffy sleeves on it.
Seeing that Liu Shi had used this object, Ye Jiao put her hand in it and took a hand stove, it should be the warmest.
Although Ye Jiao is not afraid of the cold, she knows that her husband can't blow the wind, the warmer the better.
Thinking of this, she got up and walked over with Xu Bao in her arms, looking at each of them intently, preparing to find the warmest one for Qi Yun.
Outside the gate of Qi's house, Ye Erlang left a little disappointed.
This time he originally wanted Ye Er's sister-in-law to accompany her, but since the last time she went back from Qi's house, Ye Er's sister-in-law seldom went out. She usually just picks up Ye Bao and stares at Ye Bao to read, but she doesn't want to care about anything. .
And Ye Er's sister-in-law has been holding the money tightly since then, even if it is a noisy fight, she will not give him an extra coin.
However, Ye Erlang is a man who can't do anything without success. He used to rely on Ye Dalang, and later on Ye Er's sister-in-law. If he really let him go out to do things, he couldn't do anything.
But there are some things that you can't quit, gambling is one of them.
Ye Erlang couldn't get the money from the house, so he would scratch his face when he mentioned Ye Er's sister-in-law. He had no choice but to come over and beg Ye Jiao.
As a result, people were bombarded without seeing the face.
Ye Erlang sighed, feeling sorry for the elder brother for not wanting him for a while, sad for the younger sister not recognizing him for a while, and annoyed that the second sister-in-law Ye was controlling him.
With such a sigh, Ye Erlang didn't want to go home either, so he took a car to the city, thinking that the casinos in the town wouldn't let him in, so he wanted to see if the casinos in the city could take credit. .
However, as soon as he entered the city, he saw a group of people surrounding him, blocking the street.
Ye Erlang was a little curious, so he leaned over and asked, "Brother, what happened ahead?"
"I've been cheated on by someone. That person's name is Ding Ba. He is a well-known rogue. He often finds trouble and touches porcelain. This time, it's probably a foreigner who has been targeted by him."
A person who was also watching the excitement next to him said, "This time is not the same. The foreigner looked at a rich master, and he must not agree to make a private knot, and he wants to hold Ding Ba to see the official."
"Seeing an official? Why do you need to see an official for such a trivial matter?"
"Who knows, but when I look at him, my mouth is tough, and I may not really want to trouble the yamen. After all, Ding Ba is a local and a deputy rogue. Foreigners are afraid to eat the board."
Ye Erlang listened and felt fresh.
Nowadays, there are many people doing business and sitting in Jia. Most of the merchants who go to other places are to make money in peace, for fear of offending the local people, especially this kind of scoundrel.
It's rare to see an official just because of a disagreement.
Ye Erlang was a little curious, so he squeezed in to take a look, but as soon as he got close, he saw the person in front.
Leading a horse, wearing heavy robes, a pair of tiger eyes are bright, and he is a head taller than others.
But Ye Erlang subconsciously took a step back.
This is Ye Pingrong, the eldest brother he was talking about just now.
When Ye Erlang was turned away by the Qi family just now, he was thinking about Ye Pingrong, thinking about how good the family used to be together in the past, thinking about the beauty of the three brothers and sisters at the beginning, and thinking that if the eldest brother was still there, he would definitely not be. will be so.
But now that I really saw it, what Ye Erlang was thinking was that Ye Pingrong had caused trouble now, especially the troublesome kind of prank.
If someone finds out that he has a relationship with him, he will be involved for no reason in the future.
It's not worth it to recognize him now.
As for whether Ye Pingrong is in charge, Ye Erlang doesn't care.
What he remembered was that Ye Pingrong was just a nursing home for a pharmacy. It didn't matter what kind of pharmacy it was.
The person who works as a nursing home in the hospital is also a man who sells his strength, and he certainly has no future and no support.
In a nursing home, Ye Erlang felt that Ye Pingrong must not have the ability to win the lawsuit.
Thinking of this, Ye Erlang turned his head and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd again, for fear of being seen by Ye Pingrong at such a close distance.
But at this moment, a voice came: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! The county chief is here!"
In the eyes of the common people here, they have never seen a high-ranking official. The county magistrate of the eighth rank is already a very big official. Although he does not need to see the official, he kneels, but the onlookers still have a special respect for the official. Zhi Xin, hearing the words, immediately voluntarily gave up a road and let the chairperson's sedan chair come in.
After giving in like this, the two sides squeezed a little more, and Ye Erlang couldn't get out. He could only stand there temporarily, stretch out his hands to cover his face, and regretted watching this lively event.
But the county magistrate hurriedly lifted the curtain before the sedan chair fell steadily, got out of the sedan chair, and pushed away the servant who wanted to come over to help him.
The county magistrate looked quite young, probably because he was in a hurry, and his hat was out of place.
After straightening his hat and wiping the sweat from his forehead, the county magistrate strode forward, bowed to Ye Pingrong Shen, and said repeatedly, "I don't know if your Excellency is here, and the lower official will be far away to welcome you. I hope your Lord Haihan."
… grown ups? Who is an adult
Others who stand far away can't hear it, but those who stand close like Ye Erlang can hear it clearly.
He was stunned for a moment, and then followed the line of sight of the county magistrate.
After seeing Ye Pingrong holding up the county magistrate with a bland expression, Ye Erlang froze in place as if struck by lightning.
How can you be an adult...
What about the pharmacy nursing home
