Even though Mother Lin didn't raise her head, she could still hear the old lady grinding her teeth.
Just listen to the old lady saying again: "Who in Qingchuan City knows about my Zhou family? With such a huge family business, even if we do nothing, the family can live on for decades just lying down and living on their laurels. Which family doesn't
Are you thinking of sending the best-raised daughter to our family? I still have to pick and choose carefully about the eldest daughter and the daughter of an official family."
Mother Lin said hurriedly: "No. Not only did the matchmakers from Qingchuan City come with thick brochures to help our Sixth Master choose, but Mr. Zhou from Jingli was everywhere in the capital to help us search, and even said that as long as the Sixth Master wanted something,
He will choose the kind of person he wants."
The old lady nodded almost inaudibly and said: "Although the sixth child has been delayed for several years, I really don't worry about his marriage. After all, that's where the entrance of our family is."
Then he snorted heavily and said: "This married woman understands a man's thoughts best. Lao Liu is not a womanizer. It's rare to meet someone who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Don't you think everything will be fine?"
Really? Come to think of it, Mr. Qiao just wants to cling to Lao Liu all the time."
Mother Lin hurriedly responded: "No. What kind of family is ours? In Qingchuan City, no one knows that the sixth master of our family is the most capable. Even if he is rich, he is not a womanizer. Even the daughter of an official in Beijing would like to have a lot of money."
A woman who is married from far away, let alone a woman who wants to divorce. Not only will she be able to join a wealthy family by fawning over the Sixth Master, but her daughter will also receive a generous dowry when she marries in the future, and she can still rely on it.
I, the Zhou family, will find a good family for our daughter."
The old lady snorted heavily and said: "She thought well! I'm not dead yet! If I really let Lao Liu marry her and come in, how will I see the old man and the old lady of the Zhou family when I die in the future?"
Mother Lin saw that the old lady was very angry, so she thought for a moment and then said: "I didn't expect that she came up with the idea of carving. I heard that she is also involved in the Yayi Workshop."
After hearing this, the old lady hummed again: "She lives in a poor country, and it's already a big deal that she can read two words. How could she come up with such a good idea? I heard that since the workshop opened, her parents' life has also improved.
Now that she has bought land and farmland, her father can afford to eat good medicinal materials. I heard he eats ginseng and deer antlers a lot! It’s not that the sixth man built this in front of her house just to please her.
A workshop, want to give her family an income? My Zhou family is like a chicken and a dog going to heaven."
Then she remembered that Shitou said that Lao Liu had given her all the account books in the house to check and check, and she was very angry again.
You haven't even entered the door yet, but you already want to take care of the Zhou family's business? Do you want to take a peek at the Zhou family's background?
Do you still want to be in charge of the Zhou Mansion?
It's really a lot of courage and a lot of intentions.
The old lady called Mother Lin to give her orders again and again...
Mother Lin nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly ordered a group of people to wait and get things done...
On the other hand, it is only said that after shopkeeper Wang invited Yue Zhongyao to pledge the goods once, he learned about Yue Zhongyao's performance from the people who went with him and was very satisfied.
His boss hired someone to pledge the goods, which was nothing more than the family's nursing home and servants.
Looking at the large number of people and the small caravan with more than ten or twenty cars, outsiders looked at the excitement. Only the people inside knew that if they encountered ruthless people, these servants who pledged the goods would not be worth their money.
Recruited.
Although the border has been peaceful in the past two years, and the court inside has also vigorously rectified the problem, occupying the mountain as the king, and the number of murders and expropriations has decreased a lot, but it does not mean that there is no such thing.
There are always people who are poor and crazy, or people who are suffering from eye disease, every year and every month.
If there were a few tough guys like Yue Zhongyao who crawled out from the dead, I'm afraid he could sleep peacefully until dawn.
Therefore, Yue Zhongyao once pledged the goods. After paying the money and returning, shopkeeper Wang invited someone to look for him again.
"Yue Baotou. Our shopkeeper thinks very highly of you. He told his boss that he takes you very seriously. He said that as long as Yue Baotou is willing, the wages can be discussed. If the harvest is busy in the autumn, he will not force it and will definitely let you.
Yue Bao can take care of both ends without affecting the family."
Yue Zhongyao was also grateful that Shopkeeper Wang valued him so much and even sent people from the city to look for him.
After hearing what the steward said, I didn't respond in person, but I didn't say anything.
He just said: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Wang, and your boss for taking care of me. Yue resigned from his job and returned home just to take care of his family. If Shopkeeper Wang is in trouble, Yue will not refuse to help occasionally."
The chief steward who came was overjoyed and promised some benefits, and the two of them talked happily.
Yue Zhongyao also promised that if there was really a need, he would consider it.
The man got Yue Zhongyao's promise and returned to the city happily.
After Yue Zhongyao resigned from his job and returned to his hometown, most of the confusion and hesitation in his heart disappeared.
Now, being able to be by his wife and daughter's side, watching over them every day, and occasionally having such a business as a pledge of goods, is a supplement to some extent, and it is much better than what he would get as a catcher in the yamen.
In this way, it can be considered as having the best of both worlds.
With money in hand, he could use it for his wife and daughter. After Xiaoman got married, he divided the family during the Chinese New Year. He slowly warmed his wife's heart and gave birth to a few more children...
Yue Zhongyao felt a little more at ease.
Qiao Mingjin has never cared much about outside matters.
What did you gain from running around and working hard in your previous life?
In this life, she has a home, children, parents and family, people who care about her, and people she wants to care about. Even if she cannot travel hundreds of miles in her lifetime, it is enough.
The summer heat gradually dissipated, and the two brothers Mingjue and Mingheng had moved to the city and entered the academy. At home, no one would say anything even if they were wearing patched clothes.
But when you enter the academy, if you are disheveled, you will be laughed at.
The people in the city who can enter the academy are all from decent families. Even if Mingjue and Mingheng are sensible and don't compare with others, they still have to go out to meet people and make friends when they are classmates, so they are not allowed to wear
Too bad.
In the past, at Liu Yuanwai's Green Willow Villa, the two brothers didn't go out often. Liu Yuanwai would also ask his servants to make clothes for them, so the family didn't have to worry too much about their clothes.
Now the two of them have to take care of their clothes at home.
Qiao Mingjin and the Qiao family were now living better, so they asked Yun Jin to buy a lot of fabrics and send some to her parents' house.
Although Lan Shi and Ming Yu are doing it, Qiao Mingjin is not idle either.
In addition to checking the accounts, she was at home cutting autumn and winter clothing and shoes for her two brothers, Ming Qi and Wan'er, as well as collecting soles, embroidering uppers, and making shoes.
Her own shoes are not very expensive and she only wears two pairs of shoes in a season. Wan'er and Mingqi's shoes are particularly expensive because they wear out very quickly.
In this room, Qiao Mingjin is making clothes at home, and in that room, Qiao's mother and Mingyu often take Mingyu to deliver things to the city.
Occasionally I go to clean up the house and clothes for the two brothers and future son-in-law.
Although there were two servants sent by the Liu family, Mother Qiao was still worried and had to go to the city every now and then.
I was always worried that the two brothers would be exhausted just by studying.
On this day, Mingjue and Mingheng accompanied Mother Qiao and Mingyu to go shopping on the street.
Now that the family is living a better life, Mother Qiao no longer has to worry about the work in the fields. They have hired long-term workers, so Lan doesn't have to worry about the work at home anymore. Mother Qiao does it.
Grandmother Lan now has the leisure time to embroider large-scale embroidery again.
It was said that he wanted to embroider a large screen for Mingyu to marry. So more needles and threads were needed.
Mingheng and Mingjue accompanied their mother and Mingyu out of the cloth village. They all carried large and small bags on their bodies, which made Mingheng very tired.
"Mom, why don't you ask your second brother-in-law to come out with you? I can't even lift it."
Mingheng lifted the package onto his shoulder and complained to Mother Qiao.
"Come and get it for mom. You kid, your second sister is still here. How can we get your second brother-in-law to come out and hang out with us?"
Mother Qiao said and went to get Mingheng's package.
Mingheng dodged it. He just complained a few words and couldn't understand why her mother wanted to avoid Zhou Yaozu.
"Second brother-in-law is already part of our family, why can't he go out with us?"
"Haven't you ever heard of men and women not being intimate?"
Mingjue said as he took the package from his shoulder.
Mingheng curled his lips. Seeing that Mingyu's face was covered in red, it was hard to say anything else.
The four of them, mother and son, found a tea shop and sat down.
I ordered some snacks and tea and sat down to rest.
"Mom, my brother and I have clothes to wear. You and eldest sister don't make them for us. How can we have so many clothes? The clothes we made last year were quite good."
After serving tea, Mingjue poured a cup for Mrs. Qiao and said.
"You kid, it's not like our family can't afford cloth now. You and Heng'er have come to the city now, how can you still treat yourself like you're in the country? It's not good to be laughed at by your classmates if you're poorly dressed."
Mingheng disagreed: "Just laugh. I can control them. As long as my brother and I study well."
Mingyu looked at him and laughed, and said: "Sister said, although we can't care about what others say, we can't let others affect our mood. None of us are saints. If we are laughed at by others, our mood will be affected.
It’s also two bad points. At that time, I’m afraid I won’t be in the mood to study.”
Mingjue heard this and said to Mother Qiao: "Mom, if you are going to see your sister, tell me that my brother and I will go back to see her after we take a bath. We have enough clothes to wear, so just let her do it slowly in her free time."
Sister has a lot to worry about, including the workshop and Mingqi and Wan'er to worry about."
Turning to look at Mingyu, he said: "Mingyu, don't worry too much about us. Your dowry is about to be embroidered. Yaozu is a good person, and he is not one to compare with others. During this time, you can
He has already made several pairs of clothes, and he also said that you don’t need to make any more, saying that they are enough to wear.”
Mingyu's face turned red after hearing this, and she didn't know how to release her hands and feet, so she just lowered her head and drank tea.
The four of them, mother and son, sat around a tea table chatting. Their voices were not quiet, and they also fell on the ears of the guests at the table next to them.
At first, the two people just listened with smiles on their faces. Later, when they heard that their surname was Qiao, they looked at Ming Jue's table curiously.
I was stunned when I saw this. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: Yesterday, I coded two chapters in a row. I was so stuck that I sent the wrong message. I couldn’t go outside during the day while I was working. I only found out now.
Dear friends, I was wrong, please tap gently. I was sleepy yesterday.
