Hua Niang and Xiao Lin snuggled together and eavesdropped on the conversation between the uncle and nephew of the Cao family. After hearing what Cao Rong said, Xiao Lin took his ear away from the receiver and nodded and said: "After all, he is a descendant of Cao Bin, so he should be generous.
Also, the Cao family’s wealth should last for a few more years.”
Hua Niang pulled Xiao Lin's hair and said: "White hair is for fame, why bother? You fought so hard back then and gained the identity of a secret spy with all your injuries. Yun Zheng is also trudging in the quagmire now. Want to
Climbing to a high place, I really can't understand why you men, your family has enough food and clothing, you just want to live a good life, but you want to dig into the mud pit.
If you jump out of that mud pit, no matter you, Yun Zheng, or Brother Han Lin, who is not a famous man, you have to humiliate and suffer all day long. Look at Yun Zheng, what he just said is all
What are those words? Those words coming out of his mouth are weird and have no spine at all."
Xiao Lin laughed dumbly and said: "The strength of a man is not shown here. What Yun Zheng does is called advancing and retreating in a controlled manner. When a man is not reckless, he is called adulthood, and when he is not passionate, he is called death. Why do I feel that you are always in this state?"
In an overly passionate mood.
A little girl, she should do her own thing well, and we can just do those dark things. Hua Niang, when can you help me give birth to a son?"
Hua Niang slapped Xiao Lin's extended hand away and said quietly: "I know you care about Yun Er, Su Shi and Su Che, but this kind of thing depends on fate. You have been fighting all your life, and I have done all the unscrupulous things.
, I wonder if God will take pity on us and give us a child. I don’t have high requirements for my body. Even if they are not as smart as Yun Er and others, I don’t want to be prettier than others. I just want a healthy child to be in the grave after we die.
Just add some soil and it will be ready."
Xiaolin held Hua Niang's hand and said: "We have never had any sins. I kill evil people in the world and do justice for heaven. Although you are running a brothel, you are helping those poor women and giving them a shelter from the wind."
Rain, it seems that you are very greedy for money, but I know that if you want to get rich, you should have abandoned those women long ago. Just a few of them can make countless money.
You have not abandoned any of them. Even if those women have not had any patrons come to your door for a year, you still provide them with food and clothing. The worst-case scenario is that you can do a job of washing and sweeping in Lingxi Pavilion. It is still no problem to have enough food and clothing.
As long as someone is willing to marry the girl in the building, you will always try your best to match him up. I never heard that you ask anyone for money from selling themselves, Hua Niang, this is also a good deed.
God does not allow us to live a comfortable life. It makes us struggle to survive in the cracks and make a living. There is no way to insist on being fair and honest in everything. It is enough to live up to our own conscience. As for the children, we will have them..."
Unlike what Xiao Lin thought, Lu Qingqing was naturally confident that she had something in her belly. Seeing her husband looking at her belly with an oil lamp, she was in a very good mood. After Yun Zheng covered herself with a quilt, she said with a smile: "Mom
My dear, my four-month-old child is more pregnant than other children. Husband, do you think there are two of them?"
Yun Zheng raised his head and thought for a long time before saying: "My family doesn't seem to have the habit of twins, and your family doesn't seem to have it either, so it can't be twins, but I've heard before that a woman was very capable of giving birth to five children at once!"
"Five?" Lu Qingqing opened his eyes wide: "My husband is lying. Only pigs and dogs can give birth to so many at one time. Are you planning your concubine?" After saying this, he seemed angry and ignored Yun Zheng.
.
Yun Zheng pulled one of Lu Qingqing's legs over to massage her. She had been having cramps in the past few days, and the days to come would be even more difficult. She wanted to have a child, but she would still suffer the consequences.
The most beautiful time in Chengdu is when the moon rises above the willow branches. At this time, Chengdu is as quiet as a painting. Most of the residents along the Huanhua Stream are from official families. At this time, the elegant and clear music of the guzheng may be heard.
There may be a sound, or there may be a whine of a flute. In short, when the moon is full, people always have a lot of feelings.
Bacon is very busy. Today is the day when autumn silkworms spin silk and climb the grass mountain. She and fifty or sixty women are busy in the silkworm room. Until all the silkworms are processed, a large group of women sit on the eaves.
Rest for a while underneath.
"Miss La, our silkworms have been processed, and the cocoons will be pickled tomorrow. We women are too busy with these tasks. Do you think we should find some men to do the work of fetching water and melting salt?'
A woman drank water and asked loudly about bacon. In the past, I could still ask my wife. Ever since my wife became pregnant, I couldn't see the silkworm excrement and vomited every time I saw it. Since then, my wife has never been within ten steps of the silkworm house. Okay.
Nowadays, if you are a wife from a wealthy family, if you are the mistress of a small farm family, you will be beaten to death by your husband.
Aunt Six, the female foreman, replied in a sullen voice: "Tomorrow we not only have to pickle cocoons, but also boil them. The steam room is so hot that no one can enter. When we work, everyone is disheveled. Which man are you going to let come and take advantage?"
?
It's okay to be honest, and we women are not afraid of being seen. If it's your incompetent brother, forget it. It's okay to wander elsewhere. If you wander here, it won't be surprising if the owner catches you and skins you. This is a wealthy family, and the beauty is beautiful.
There are many children, and there are many rules. The master of the house takes pity on us wives and gives us a bowl of rice, so we must abide by the rules. As long as we work hard, the master has not treated us badly. Don't take the master's kindness as nothing.
It’s okay to recruit some women, but forget about the men’s family.”
Bancou closed the account book and said worriedly: "Aunt Six is right. There will be a lot of cocoon cooking work tomorrow, and we are not too busy. This year, not only will our cocoons have to be reeled, but we will also have to bear the burden of cocoons from other places.
The young master is a kind-hearted man and doesn't want to see the silkworm farmers worry. When he went out today, he told Butler Liao to take back the big cocoons. The news has been released. I don't know how many people will send silkworm cocoons to our homes tomorrow, so we are really busy.
Come."
While they were talking, two women brought over a large bucket of broth from the kitchen. Aunt Six shared the soup with everyone and said with a smile: "Miss La, you are too worried. We are working people. We are not afraid of a lot of work. Just
I was afraid that I would have no work to do. Last year I was busy for a whole year, and most of the house in my wife’s house was built. This year, as long as I am busy for another year, the house of the younger brother of my family can be built. I feel comfortable working in the Yun family. Here
The master and his wife treat us as human beings. Look, they still have broth to drink at night. Isn’t this just how the master lives?"
After hearing what Aunt Six said, the women began to talk about the changes in their families one by one. After being weavers for so many years, they had never met a master like the Yun family. Speaking of which, the Yun family was also a general, and they saw people killing people on the battlefield.
Bloody, the head of the family is a young hero. A few days ago, the master of the Yun family led his soldiers to chop off hundreds of heads. The school ground was soaked with blood. Now at night, the school ground is full of ghosts and howls. I heard people say that.
It's the ghosts of those who were killed that are calling out.
However, such a family sent a good-natured person like Bacon Girl to manage Nuo Da's workshop. It seemed that Bacon Girl's status in the Yun family was not low. At least Butler Liao was very polite when he met Bacon Girl.
I heard from the servants that the bacon girl is the first maid in the Yun family, and the second young master grew up on the bacon girl's back, so both the eldest young master and the wife dotes on the bacon girl, which is a crime.
The eldest young master also laughed at his big mistakes. He was never willing to reprimand him.
"Miss La, since our workshop is all women, we might as well just use women instead of men. We don't have enough manpower. I'll go to the dental shop tomorrow and I'm sure to find thirty or fifty good silk reelers.
, As for the work of driving a cart and carrying water, we have actually done it before. Who says that a woman can’t drive a big cart? I can do it.
Let's close the door and work, far away from the men outside. This way there will be less gossip. Over time, we can recruit some little girls in. You also know that when weaving silk, it is best to have young women.
Come and do it, the old woman is not good enough, her hands are covered with calluses, which will scratch the silk. Only the silk made by the delicate hands of the little ladies is of the highest quality.
Since our family can reel silk, we can naturally weave silk cloth. In the future, we will do the dip-dying work ourselves. Anyway, our silk cloth is not worried about being sold, so why should we let those who have nothing to do with it make money?
Our money."
Bacon put down the soup bowl, looked at the main room where the eldest young master lived, and said sadly: "The eldest young master is busy with a lot of things now. Otherwise, if you invite him over, you will be able to straighten everything out quickly. In the past, when the young master was idle at home, he had a lot of things."
All the ideas came from the young master. The eldest young master is the smartest person in the world. Nothing can be difficult for him. Thinking for a while is more effective than thinking for a year, but it can’t be done now. He has to consider military and national affairs, and so do I.
Don’t dare to bother him with these trivial matters.”
Every time Bacon comes back to this time, he feels so stupid that he can't even handle such a small thing. But Aunt Six is right. The family tradition of the Yun family is very important. Unrelated men cannot come in. Aunt Six will let Aunt Six come in tomorrow.
Go to the dental shop and hire some women to come and work.
Half an hour of rest time passed without realizing it while talking. Aunt Six greeted her, and the woman who had just taken a nap hurriedly stood up, rubbed her sore eyes and returned to the silkworm room. Just this time,
There are many silkworms starting to spin silk again...
Life is like this. Rich people work hard, and poor people work hard. In the final analysis, it is just the fatigue of life and death. As long as life can go on, everyone wants to fight for a good life for themselves, and no one can escape.
The night before dawn is always the darkest. It will pass if you grit your teeth and hold on. No one knows what the result will be until the end, but if you don’t work, everything will be in vain. (To be continued)
