Two little girls, Yongning and Shouning, were playing house games in the yard. Li Yi sat on the stone bench, waved to Xiaocui and said.
"Master Li, what's going on?" Xiaocui ran over from that side.
"Miss, have you had your period these days?" Although he knew it was inappropriate to ask this question, Zeng Zuimo had ignored him for a long time because of those melon seeds. Miss Zeng didn't
As for being so picky, Li Yi thinks the problem should lie in other aspects.
"Ah..." When Xiaocui heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red as if she was about to bleed. Can a woman tell others this kind of thing casually?
If you say such things casually, the lady will beat her to death if she finds out...
"No, no, it will take a few days." Thinking this in her heart, Xiao Cui said with a blush.
"That's it..." Li Yi shook his head. If it wasn't for that reason, what other possibilities are there?
Xiao Cui lowered her head and muttered: "I don't know what's wrong with Miss these days. She's always alone in a daze and often loses sight of things. Miss has never been like this before. In short, it's just weird.
…”
In the room, Zeng Zuimo was sitting at the table, holding a paintbrush, his eyes slightly distracted, but the rice paper in front of him was blank.
The knock on the door lasted for a long time before she heard it, put down her pen and said: "The door is not closed, come in."
"Wow!"
Li Yi threw a large bag of things on the table, looked at her and said: "Pepper and salt flavor, five-flavored flavor, cream flavor, red date flavor, plum flavor... I just ate a few of your melon seeds. As for why they have been born for so long."
Are you angry?"
Zeng Zuimo was startled. She opened one of the small bags and a strange fragrance came out. She tasted one, and the expression on her pretty face changed slightly. Then she put them all away and then said to Li Yi: "
When did I get angry?”
If you refuse to admit that it is a woman's nature, you just have to write the word "angry" on your face. You still say that you are not angry. If you are not angry, why don't you give me back my melon seeds?
"What's going on with the clothing store you mentioned yesterday?" Zeng Zuimo deliberately changed the subject.
Li Yi shook his head, finally able to speak normally, and said: "The reputation of underwear has been established. We can expand our business and make ready-made clothes. In addition to common styles, we also design some new styles and divide them into different sizes. Customers can see
Whichever item you win, you can wear it directly after paying the bill."
In this era, there were no clothing stores, only cloth shops. Small families bought cloth and cut it to make clothes themselves. Large families would hire or even have specialized tailors to make them. The concept of ready-made clothes did not yet exist.
No matter what era, people cannot do without these four things in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you engage in these four industries, you will never have to worry about being eliminated by the times.
Although Her Royal Highness will be involved in the ready-made garment industry together, she has always contributed money, people and efforts, waiting for the money to be distributed, and has no involvement in management.
Zeng Zuimo said while cracking melon seeds: "After opening two new underwear stores, the manpower is somewhat insufficient. If we want to open a ready-made clothing store, we will need more women who are good at female celebrities. I'm afraid there won't be enough in Goulan.
many."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, there will be no shortage of manpower soon."
Near Kyoto, the new marriage law is enforced. In the next period of time, there will be many women aged above thirteen and below sixteen staying at home with nothing to do. This is also a headache for the court.
, if it can give them something to do and solve the employment problem of working-age women, the court will definitely support it.
"Then when Sister Ruoqing comes back, I will discuss it with her." Zeng Zuimo said, then looked at Li Yi and said, "I, I have something to ask you."
"What?" Li Yi looked back at her.
"You..." Zeng Zuimo opened his mouth, thought for a while, but finally said nothing. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's okay."
Talking halfway is a very impolite behavior, especially for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Li Yi was not in a hurry to leave this time. He looked at her and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing, you can go." Zeng Zuimo waved his hand impatiently.
"Is it really okay?"
"It's really okay."
"Then...then let me grab a handful of melon seeds before we leave. I want creamy ones."
…
…
Wangjiacun is a small village only ten miles away from Kyoto.
Although Wangjiacun is located just outside the most prosperous capital city of Jingguo, it does not get any glory from Kyoto. Dozens of families in the village eat in the thin fields at the head of the village. When the year is good, they can eat every meal.
If you drink something thin and the situation is bad, the family will have to tighten their belts and pray for God's blessing.
Wang Laoer, an ordinary farmer in Wangjia Village, was squatting on a stone in the yard, smoking a dry pipe and sighing.
"Dad, it's time to eat." A girl of about ten years old, wearing coarse clothes and an apron tied around her waist, came out of the dilapidated house, walked up to him, and said timidly.
"Eat, eat, eat. If you keep eating all day long, you won't be able to get married, you know?" Wang Laoer, the third daughter, got angry and waved his hand impatiently.
When the little girl saw this, her body trembled and she hurried back into the house.
"What is the court doing? Isn't this going to cost my old man's life?" Wang Laoer said angrily as he coughed on the stone.
The mother-in-law at home failed to live up to expectations and gave him three daughters in succession. Although he still had a strong desire to have a son, he did not dare to have any more children. If he had another daughter, his life would be unbearable.
Although she is a daughter, she is also our own son. Although we often get beaten and scolded on weekdays, the tight life of more than ten years has also stretched them one by one. The eldest daughter is fourteen this year. I just said
There was a marriage, and the second daughter, thirteen, had reached the age to get married.
I thought that if my two daughters got married, there would be two less mouths in the family, and there would be betrothal gifts from two families, so life would be better. But who would have thought that the eldest daughter would get married in a month, and the court suddenly issued an order that the woman
She was not allowed to get married before she was sixteen, which would delay her two children. Wang Lao Er suddenly felt extremely stressed and could not live a successful life.
"No one can live in such a bad court!" Wang Laoer cursed bitterly. A middle-aged woman poked her head out of the room and said, "Keep your voice down. If anyone hears this,
We’re here, but you’ll have to eat something!”
It's okay not to talk about it. When he mentioned this matter, Wang Laoer became even more angry. He jumped down from the stone and cursed: "What the heck, what's the matter? They are allowed to do things like having a son, and I am not allowed to say anything about it."
, I just want to say that this stupid court doesn’t even care about me marrying my daughter..."
"Wang Laoer, who are you talking about?" As the voice came, an official in soap clothes walked in from outside.
"This bastard Wang Ergou hasn't paid back the two cents he owes me in a month..." Wang Laoer looked at the officer with a flattering face and asked: "Master officer, what kind of trouble is this guy doing today?"
You blew it..."
The guard waved his hand, flipped through a booklet in his hand, and said straight to the point: "Wang Laoer, your Zhaodi and Yindi are both over thirteen, right?"
When Wang Laoer heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said warily: "Master Guancha, my Zhaodi and Yindi are both married..."
"I don't care if Xu is allowed or not, as long as he is over thirteen, by the way, your family Liu Di..."
Wang Laoer looked horrified, "My Liudi, my Liudi is only ten years old, she, she is still a child!"
The official glanced at her and asked directly: "It was mentioned above that if a girl from any family is over thirteen and has good sewing skills, she can work in a workshop for four hours a day and earns ten cents. What will your family do?
Are Zhaodi and Yindi going?"
"I won't go, I won't go..." Wang Laoer shook his head repeatedly. Can you believe the lies of the official? He paid ten cents for four hours a day. I can't make that much even for eight hours a day. Could it be that he wanted to deceive his daughter?
"Okay, then I'll take note of it." The official waved his hand, turned around and walked out.
Wang Laoer was stunned when he heard this, and then left, no longer forcing himself?
What if he was just bluffing a few words and I would have agreed!
"Dad, Dad..." A figure hurriedly ran in from outside, and a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old said breathlessly: "Dad, I heard that Her Highness the Princess's workshop is recruiting people, and it will be ten ten days a day for the first three months.
Money, it will be fifteen cents a day in three months!"
"Is it true?" Wang Laoer asked with wide eyes.
"It's true!" The girl nodded repeatedly and said, "The list has been posted outside. The official officials are now registering door to door. I heard that the number of places this time is limited. I just saw the official officials here. Dad gave me and
Has Yindi signed up?"
Wang Laoer was stunned again. After coming to his senses, he ran outside.
"Lord Officer, don't leave, I am willing, I am willing!"
