When Mrs. Chen heard this, she nodded without thinking, "Of course that's what I planned. We have been working in the Cheng family for more than ten years, and we are used to it."
The old man at home is still alive, and my mother also said that it would be easier for them to stay at Cheng's house.
Grandma Cheng said: "That's fine. I heard from Ju Xiang that your embroidery skills are very good. It just so happens that I am short of an embroiderer in my yard. I have one tael of silver per month. Sister Chen, do you think you are willing to come? Your husband is willing to come."
If you are a long-term worker, you can still live in the same place, come in every morning and go back after work in the afternoon."
"This is such a great thing, thank you so much, grandma!" Mrs. Chen was overjoyed when she heard this. What's wrong with that?
Forty taels of silver a year or one tael of silver a month, anyone would choose whichever one they choose.
Grandma Cheng was very happy when she saw Chen agreed. She sincerely wanted to help Chen.
After Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, she hesitated and said, "There is something I would like to ask Grandma to be accommodating and help me with."
Grandma Cheng raised her eyebrows and said, "Say."
"Even if I hid the fact that I got the reward for rescuing the young master, can I also hide the fact that the deed was repaid to us?" Mrs. Chen smiled shyly.
Grandma Cheng waved her hand, "This is easy to say, don't worry, whatever we say today, those present are my people and will not go out and talk nonsense."
Besides, the Cheng family is not a fan of publicity, so why don't they beat gongs and drums all over the country to publicize who and what kind of reward they got for saving the young master?
There is no need to do this kind of job to save face.
Not many people saw Chen rescuing people. They were all confidants of the inner courtyard, so they just gave him a beating.
Mrs. Chen felt relieved and solemnly thanked Grandma Cheng again. Although this was too light for Grandma Cheng, to her, one hundred taels of gold and a ten-year contract were also too much.
Very valuable.
She sincerely thanked Grandma Cheng.
They agreed to leave the inner courtyard early tomorrow morning to start work. Mrs. Chen didn't stay long, so she said goodbye and went back.
Holding a box in her hand, she walked out of the Cheng family compound without asking any questions. However, she knew that Mrs. Chen had rescued the young master and would probably get a reward. But when she saw this small box, she thought that she might also get a reward.
Just get some jewelry or something.
In addition, Mrs. Chen stuffed a purse over and said it was to thank her for helping her deliver a message yesterday. She squeezed it and felt happy, so she didn't care about the small box.
When we returned to the courtyard where Changgong lived, the people there didn't know anything about it. They just thought that Mrs. Chen had taken another job from a maid in the inner courtyard and brought it back to work.
So until Mrs. Chen entered the house and carefully hid the box with Zhang Donggua and locked it, no one outside knew that there was so much silver in the box.
On the other hand, Grandma Cheng, after Mrs. Chen left, also gave orders to the maids. The young master of the Cheng family has recovered from his illness, and there is no need for news to spread.
But there is no need to elaborate on how the disease is cured.
And everyone who saw Chen rescue people yesterday and knew that Chen rescued people was beaten. In short, they would not leave the Cheng family to talk nonsense.
As soon as the news spread, all the families who were expecting their daughter or granddaughter to go and win the golden gift were all beating their chests.
Okay, why did you suddenly recover from your illness?
For a while, everyone secretly speculated and started talking. It's not that he was seriously ill, so why did he get better? How did he get better? I didn't hear anyone went to celebrate the wedding.
And the good guy went to inquire specifically, wanting to know how good the young master of the Cheng family was.
But those who know the details will not tell them when greeted, and these people are not the ones who can ask.
As for those who can be asked, how can we know so much?
These people only returned with curiosity and regret.
I don't know who listened and guessed again and again, saying that the young master of the Cheng family was cured, but it was not clear who cured him.
In short, the Cheng family's uproarious incident of receiving a generous betrothal gift, which had been causing a stir for half a month, has come to an end. People may still talk a few words after dinner, but it is no longer the focus.
When the young master of the Cheng family fully recovered and appeared in front of everyone, the matter gradually faded away.
We all have our own lives to live, so how can we have the energy to focus on one thing all the time?
But that’s all for another day.
Now we have to talk about Song Qiu buying three people and taking them back to the village.
Du Chuanfu and the others followed all the way and saw the mule cart entering the village and finally stopping at a small wooden house surrounded by a fence. They did not recover for a long time.
Not talking about Du Chuanfu and Yang Dalian, just talking about the Wang family, I couldn't help but exclaimed.
This yard looks worse than her husband's house.
How does the girl have the money to buy someone?
With this money, how about living a better life?
At this moment, she was also very confused. She thought that the girl had hired people to work in the tavern or something.
But once they get here, what kind of work can they do here?
Do they want them to farm?
But this way, it doesn’t look like there is too much land at home to plant.
But the three of them were surprised. They had learned the rules and didn't say much at the moment. They quickly came to their senses and followed in without looking away.
"Milk! We're back!"
Song Qiu entered the courtyard and directed Yang Dalian to drive the mule cart to the backyard, shouting into the house.
Guessing the timing of Song Qiu's return, Old Yuan, who had just started preparing lunch, poked his head out of the kitchen and responded, "I'm back. The meal will be ready soon. You and Aling wash your hands and have a rest."
Later."
As he said this, he was about to take his head back, but he caught a glimpse of the two Wangs next to him, and paused, "Are we having guests? Don't be busy, I'll just spread out a few more pancakes. If you say hello, sit down for a while and I'll be here soon."
"
After that, he went to work, thinking about putting the food on the table and then going to greet the guests and talk.
Song Qiu listened, but did not immediately explain. He looked at Du Chuanfu and said, "This is it. This is my home. It will also be your home in the future. You first have a look around and get familiar with it. Let's talk after you have eaten."
.”
Du Chuanfu and the others:...
His mouth should be respectful, but his eyes glanced left and right, but they were not finished.
Just a fairly spacious yard, three wooden houses, and a backyard behind it.
There seems to be nothing to see, but you just looked over without taking a second look?
It's not a good idea to just sit and wait for dinner. Wang has a dull temper, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and asked Song Qiu, then went into the kitchen to help.
"Old lady, I'm here to help you. If there's anything I can do, just ask me."
When Old Yuan heard her calling her an old lady, she felt something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it. She just thought she was embarrassed to call her aunt?
"It'll be ready soon, just sit down and go, I don't need your help."
Mrs. Wang listened and saw that there was a little girl lighting the fire under the stove. She couldn't get in, so she just helped to put the dishes on the table.
Within a quarter of an hour, the food was served. Since there was not enough rice, more than a dozen pancakes were spread out.
Song Qiu shouted at everyone to come to the table for dinner, but how dare the Wang family come to the table? They all refused.
Old Yuan was even more surprised. How could any of the guests stand and watch them eat?
When Song Qiu saw this, he told the story.
Old Yuan was stunned when he heard this. He was so calm and silent that he bought someone?
Is this a servant who was bought back?
She was really not used to it, "Don't worry about anyone else, you still have to eat well, eat quickly, and then we'll talk about it later."
This time, Du Chuanfu and the three of them sat down.
Looking at the two plates of farm dishes, a bowl of vegetable porridge, and pancakes on the table, I felt even more dreamy.
