The skilled widow is busy farming

The weather is getting hot, and the embroidery shop has been open for a month. There is not much business for the time being, and we mainly rely on the village weaving workshop. Xiu Niang is going home.

Before leaving, tell a few children.

"Brother Rui, I know that you are a child with ideas. You must speak openly and honestly about everything, whether you are dealing with things or people. Whether you are dealing with your classmates, brother or wife, don't hide it. This can easily lead to conflicts. As a couple, We discuss things with each other and don't make the decision directly, as that would be disrespectful."

"Yes, my nephew remembered it."

Brother Rui bowed his head and agreed.

"Brother Qun, you have to listen to your brother. You are no smarter than your brother in terms of resourcefulness. Brothers who work together can cut through gold. You must always remember this sentence."

"Yes, the son should remember his mother's teachings."

"You can only do it after consulting your uncle, aunt, brother, and sister-in-law in advance. Don't make your own decisions."

"it is good."

Li Qun nodded frequently.

He smiled at Qing'er and Yingzi and warned, "I don't worry too much about you two. I have told you everything that needs to be said in detail. I only remember one thing, one will be prosperous and one will be deprived. This is the upbringing of the children of the family."

"Yes, we understand that only by living a good life can we raise our status and face to the sisters in the village. Our reputation has been damaged, and all the daughters in Lijia Village will not survive. We must not forget it."

Yingzi stood up and responded seriously.

"Yingzi, you are the person I feel most at ease with, and you are the one I worry about the most. You just passed Yi Zhe, so don't imitate me. I'm not a good role model. Even if the sky falls, your brothers will support you. Remember, you have several Two brothers are officials, so what are you afraid of? You didn’t reach out to the Xie family. The Xie family married you because they wanted the Li family to join the Qingliu family, but the Xie family and the Xu family can’t, do you understand?"

"Yes, I remember."

What Xiuniang said is true. Only after the marriage of the Zhang family and the Xiao family can the marriage of the Wang family and the Lu family come into being. They all belong to the Qingliu family. It is extremely important to be recognized by these families. It is okay to say that you can climb high.

But the Xie family and the Xu family are not really high-ranking, they are well matched, clean and noble, while the generals are a bit rougher. Everyone has taken different paths and has different network resources.According to the words of the military commander, if you can get married to a Qingliu family, your ancestors can be regarded as having smoked the blue smoke and have been soaked in the nobility of the scholarly family.

No matter how arrogant the generals are or how close they are to the emperor, people will die in wars. Scholars are the ones who govern the court. In peacetime, literati are indeed more popular than military generals. The emperor cannot govern the world without the talents of literati.

"The last thing I want to say is that boys from the Li family are not allowed to take concubines, and they don't need to clean up the outside rooms. If someone tells me, I will come and clean it up myself. There are too many good days, so I first think about playing with women and taking care of the family."

Xiu Niang raised her eyebrows and spoke very sharply.

The Li family members stood in a row and immediately responded in unison.

"I discussed with the clan elders before coming here. From now on, the property in the capital will be rotated every five years, and the clan members will come here to manage and study separately. One is to broaden the clan's horizons and see the world; the other is to prevent anyone from being obsessed with wealth and splendor. Eyes, if you develop the habit of being arrogant and extravagant, you should rotate every five years, starting from this year. Be prepared."

"Yes."

In fact, it has been implemented silently for a long time. Li Qing and Li Yan were rotated every three to five years. The clansmen also changed in this way. Now they say hello openly and there is no need to make excuses.

"The last one is that children must study in ethnic schools and can only enter the capital when they are 15 years old. This applies to any child, in order to unite the centripetal force of the tribe. Life in the hometown is simple and honest, allowing children to study and study with peace of mind. Stay away from prosperity and wealth, our family does not have a title to inherit, you have to rely on your real ability to get ahead, you are all self-made, and your father does not have a title for you."

"Hey! Remembered it."

The Li family's reputation and status have been significantly improved because the Li family has done well in learning and teaching. Not only have they produced students with honors, but they have also produced students without fame. They have special skills, such as reading, reading, writing, and arithmetic. They are good at walking. Excellent wherever you go, that's the key.The children are required to go back to the clan to study and are not allowed to wander outside. The private schools outside are actually not as good as the clan schools in the village. They are scattered in various corners, which is not conducive to the children's unity, and the cohesion is much less.

Xiu Niang explained everything she needed to explain, and finally said to her sister-in-law, "Do you remember what I told you?"

"Remember, when you see the official wife when you go out, you will listen to Yulan and Qing'er's instructions. If you don't understand in person, you will ask why when you go home. If you don't understand, just listen to your son and daughter-in-law. If you don't make decisions randomly, you can't make promises casually. If you love your daughter-in-law, you love your son. .”

The sister-in-law learned the language seriously, this was Xiu Niang's instructions.

Yulan couldn't help but smile and looked at the two elders with gratitude.

"Don't worry, go home. I will go back when Brother Jing comes. I have wanted to go home for a long time. I don't want to stay anymore. I will go back to the tavern to work as a cook. This scheming is too tiring. I am happy to go home and serve you." Your parents-in-law will cook for you.”

My sister-in-law has long been fed up. She doesn't want to talk to these people in a roundabout way. She talks in circles and doesn't speak directly. It's annoying to death.

"Okay, if you persist for one more year, I will send Brother Jing to you."

"Send them both together and I will go home."

The sister-in-law has long wanted to leave her husband and go back to her hometown. The main reason is that they are already the same age and have nothing to worry about if they separate. But young couples are not good at it. Separation is prone to problems.

"Well, I'll send Brother Jing here next year. I want to go home too. This place is almost tidy. Brother Jing and his wife can get everything organized when they come. Let me go home. I miss home."

Li Mao also begged Xiu Niang that he didn't want to stay anymore and wanted to go back to his hometown.

"Okay, got it."

Xiu Niang smiled.

After everything was settled and settled, we took the boat home. We also brought gifts from relatives and orders from various families. We returned home with a full load.

After returning home, first explain the order clearly to the clan, and then divide the gifts among everyone.

The clan elders have rearranged people and things to rotate around the capital. The younger generation has also reached old age and can be allowed to go out on their own. It is better to follow the principle of the old leading the new and take the younger generation to the Jiangnan and Guangdong side of the capital to learn skills. , increasingly independent.

Brother Jing needs to settle things in the village and wait until next year to complete them before going to the capital.

The weaving workshop also needs to mobilize a few experienced people to work in the embroidery building in Beijing. Jiangnan Silk Weaving has been able to supply [-]% of the raw silk and cooked silk to the weaving workshop, occupying an active position. This time the embroidery building opened, it also has strong backing and its own supply. Raw materials, nothing to be afraid of.

The tribesmen are now very convinced of Xiu Niang, and they are obedient and will fight wherever they are told. Past decisions have proven that Xiu Niang was right.

Xiuniang rested at home for a few days and then went to teach at the clan school, and then taught the disciples in the weaving workshop. She continued to weave the longevity picture by herself. It was estimated that she would complete it by the end of the year, and then send it to the embroidery building in the capital to support the show.

Qing'er and Yingzi also woven small Kang screens and table screens one after another, and sent them to the embroidery building first to support the facade.

They were supposed to calculate the money and give it to them, but the sisters said they didn't want any money, not even a penny. Both Yingzi and Li Yan became anxious. Her dowry included the property of the whole clan, so they just said they would pay. No more embroidery buildings.

The two children sincerely supported the clan, and Li Yan also felt embarrassed, saying that they were weavers and embroiderers, but did not mention their names for fear that her husband's family would not be happy.

However, the Xie family and the Lu family didn't say anything. They didn't mention this, which meant they didn't care. No one likes ungrateful things. It doesn't matter as long as they can get by on the surface. This will not affect the girl's reputation. A good female celebrity can actually promote her. Girl reputation.
