(Uh... If you don't say anything, will it increase your recommendations and favorites? ⊙_⊙ This is a shameful show of cuteness...)

Ouyang's house.

When she saw Aunt Yu who went out in the morning and came back in the evening, the third wife was not happy, "Why? Or not?"

Nianfu secretly rolled his eyes at the side, looking at the leadership level of this question, tsk!

Aunt Yu said with a smile on her face, "No! Sister Mu has a way. She appetized Mrs. Xianzun as soon as she went. We came back after serving dinner. Madam Xianzun was considerate and said that Sister Mu still has his mother. The elders have to take care of her, and she is a young girl. It is not easy to leave home, so she let us come back. He also said that we don’t have to go every day in the future. We only asked Miss Mu to leave a few recipes, and said that if I get tired of eating later, I will invite you she goes."

The third wife became happy when she heard this, and looked at Nianfu's face with kindness, "You have worked hard too, go back and rest, tomorrow I will come to the house to work as an errand."

Nianfu agreed, but he didn't leave. Instead, he said, "My wife is kind to my family, so there is no need to be so polite. If it is only for the magistrate of the county, I'd better go home and help. Just call me when you need it. I make tofu every day at home, and I’m too busy without it.”

Ah... eh?The third wife suddenly felt sorry for her, she dared to say that this girl was negotiating terms with her!If she was really allowed to work at her own house on weekdays, and only waited for the county matriarch to summon her to go, then who would the Ouyang family be?If it was reported to the county government, would she still want this face?

It's not that the third wife doesn't understand, she just wants to pretend to be confused and just expose the matter of chanting blessings.He still counts her as a part-time job girl in his family, and it only costs five hundred wen a month. Unexpectedly, this little girl refuses to suffer from being dumb and wants to settle accounts with her after autumn.

But after thinking about it again, this girl was originally driven away by herself, and she was asked to help the county government, and she agreed without saying a word, and now the matter has been settled beautifully, and it is normal to want to talk about some conditions at this moment , besides, there will be times when she will be used later.

So although the third wife was a little upset, she still smoothed things over for herself, "Oh, I forgot, and I didn't make it clear. Since we have invited you here in our mansion, naturally we can't be the same as before. In the future, every one of you Let’s take one tael of silver as an example.”

Nianfu then asked, "Mrs. Xie's flattery, it's just such a high salary, so what should I take care of? If I just keep lighting the fire as before, I'm afraid others will blame me."

Salary increases should be made, but job responsibilities should also be clarified!You can't give me a tael of silver and treat people like cattle and horses. If you calculate it like that, you will still be at a loss.

The third wife said patiently, "You don't need to burn the fire. From now on, you can only take care of the dishes of the county government and Mr. Wu. You don't need to take care of breakfast, mainly lunch and dinner." After thinking about it, she said again , "Well... If there is any banquet at the house or if you want to eat something special, you can also help Aunt Yu think of some new ideas. Pearl, you take her down to get the new clothes of two second-class maids. After working in the house, you have to look good when you go out."

ok.Nianfu is not greedy, such a job salary is already good.To be honest, she and Niang Hui peddled along the street all day long, not to mention the hard work, but they really couldn't earn so much.

On this side, she retreated with the housemaid Zhu Zhu, and on the other side, the third wife asked Aunt Yu about her experience in the county government.It's a pity that Aunt Yu was not there at the crucial occasion, and I don't know how Nianfu talked to Mrs. Xianzun. I only know that she touched Mrs. Xianzun's heart after she sent a fresh orange steamed egg and lotus root with taro paste.

"However, the ma'am of the magistrate gave a lot of things. Madam, you see, these cloths are all good things. There are also these fresh goods, all of which are filial to the magistrate of the magistrate, and you can't buy them with money!"

Aunt Yu also hid a little selfishness, she didn't say that Sister Mu knew the rules and didn't ask for it, but it seemed that she got these goodies.The third wife looked at the gift again, and she was also happy.Although Nianfu had raised his wages a bit, these gifts alone were worth more than a dozen taels of silver, so in this way, he was not at a loss.

Thinking about it this way, the little unhappiness about Nianfu's request for a salary increase disappeared. Instead, he generously took two unremarkable sermons, "You have worked hard too. This is for you, and this is for Sister Mu."

Seeing that the third wife finally had a smiling face, Aunt Yu also wanted to learn how to recite blessings and talk about the conditions, so she begged something with a shy face, "Madam, since Miss Mu is not allowed to light the fire, there is only one person missing in the kitchen. Do you want to add another one?"

The third wife suddenly became upset again, "There was no such person in the kitchen before, so why does it seem that we can't do without her now?"

Aunt Yu didn't expect to touch her nose, but the conversation got to this point, so she had to bite the bullet and continue, "It's not that I want to be lazy, it's just that Mrs. Zou has just left, and there is still a gap that needs to be filled. Well. Look, should we add one first?"

The third wife wondered if this was over yet?It's not you who flattered Mrs. Madam, it's nothing more than Sister Mu coming to make demands after finishing her work, so why do you join in the fun?Let me pay you a favor?dream!

"Don't look at me, I don't know! I've heard about Mrs. Zou, she is not good at doing things. It doesn't make any difference if she is more or less. In my opinion, there are enough people in the kitchen right now. If you can't manage it, I'll go for someone else!"

After being given such a scolding, Aunt Yu became ashamed and retreated in embarrassment.However, Nianfu had already brought back his new clothes and stood outside the door to hear the last few words.Aunt Yu felt even more bored, so she shared the cloth with her and slipped away with an excuse.

Nianfu went in again, thanked the third wife, and left. Pearl had no conflict with the little girl, so she kindly said, "Don't talk about this matter outside today, so that Aunt Yu won't hate it."

Recite blessings and thank you, thinking that this pearl girl looks good.I heard that Sanfang has no concubine children except for a young master. Thinking about it, the third wife's rule is still very strict. It should be difficult to live under someone like her.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.Nianfu secretly drew a line of friendship in his heart, but he learned the lesson of the reward money incident last time, and didn't get close to people too much, but thanked him kindly, left a good impression, and went home.

On the other hand, Pearl looked at her back and sighed secretly. She didn't expect mothers to be more expensive than children. If she could have a caring daughter like Hui Niang, she would have something to look forward to in the rest of her life.Otherwise, when I am old and young, what else do I have to think about?

Suddenly, she saw the servant girl in the yard taking advantage of the dark sky to lure a boy in sneakily. Pearl was afraid that there was something wrong with her, so she immediately turned down and wanted to question her.

Unexpectedly, the servant girl waved her hand and whispered, "It was my wife who asked me to bring people here."

Pearl looked closely, only to recognize that it was not someone else, but Bai Xuan, the book boy next to the young master, looking at her with a flattering and humble smile.

Pearl suddenly understood, she was quite disdainful of this kind of betrayer in her heart, but her face was calm, she just said, "It happens that there is no one at Madam's place, so go in quickly."

The servant girl led Bai Xuan in, Pearl wanted to follow and listen, but she felt bored after thinking about it, so she finally went back to the room by herself.

When the third wife over there heard Bai Xuan's story about the chance encounter between Young Master Ouyang and Nian Fu, she was a little bit tongue-tied.I thought the two were colluding secretly, but now it seems that they met by chance.It's just that this young master who has always been aloof is willing to stand up for Nianfu and wants to recommend her to the county lord, so he has a heart for this girl.

Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.It's like a thing, obviously she liked it and wanted to use it, but other people also liked it and wanted to use it, which made the third wife unhappy.

But after all, reading blessings is a person and not a thing. The third wife still has to think about how to deal with this matter, so she doesn't have the heart to talk to people.

"It's hard to make this trip for you, I've made a note of it in my heart." She signaled the maid to reward Bai Xuan with the money, and the third wife wanted to send someone away.

But Bai Xuan nodded on one knee and said, "Although the slave is serving in the big room, his heart is for the third wife. If the wife is kind enough to let me follow Brother Qing, the slave will go through fire and water, and he is willing."

The third wife actually smiled, "Your family is all from the big house, why do you want to come to Brother Qing? Are you not afraid that your mother will scold you?"

Bai Xuan smiled and said, "I am not sensible, but I also know the truth that people go to high places and water flows to low places. Although the first young master is the master of Ouyang's family, the second young master is also the master of Ouyang's family. The first young master is already old. I don't need to worry about the slaves, but I always watch with cold eyes. There is still room for the second young master. As for the old lady, although they are elders, they are all from the Ouyang family. As long as the wife opens her mouth, no slave would dare to disobey her. Woolen cloth?"

The third wife looked at him with a smile, "I can't see that you still have a sharp mouth. I think I have learned a lot from your eldest and young masters in the past few years. All right, you go now, I know about it."

Bai Xuan thanked him, took the money and left.He only felt that he was expected to be promoted, and his bones were three catties lighter.Unexpectedly, the third wife turned her back and turned coldly, "Such a ruthless and ruthless bastard still wants to bring Qing brother to death, there is no way!"



Carrying the piece of cloth home, Nianfu took out a delicate purse from her arms, which was given to her privately by Yuhan when she left the county government office.Because there was Aunt Yu outside, she was too embarrassed to open it to have a look, and did not take it out until home.

But when they saw two small silver ingots of one tael stuffed inside, the whole family was overjoyed.With these two taels of silver, Nianfu was able to work again at Ouyang's family, and his wages were increased, so the family's livelihood is not worrying for the time being.

Hui Niang immediately decided, "This cloth and silver are reserved for your dowry, and the money you earned at Ouyang's family is the same. The food and clothing of the family can also be earned by my mother selling tofu. In this way, in the first half of the year, there will be almost It's seven or eight taels of silver, and I can buy you a few dowry at any rate."

In fact, Nianfu still had concerns about the marriage of the Hou family, but the whole family unanimously approved it, and it was useless for her to object, so she just asked, "It's not easy for mother to go out to do business now, how can I make money?"

Niang Hui laughed, "You don't have to worry about that, your mother has her own way."

It turned out that the consumption of various dishes during the Chinese New Year was huge. Their mother and daughter sold tofu for a few days, but they didn't go out today, and some people came to ask for it. Fortunately, there were too many tofu curds in the morning, so Hui Niang made two plates of tofu, and they quickly sold.

Later, Mrs. Shi came up with an idea. Anyway, Mrs. Song, who owns a restaurant, has also opened a restaurant. Why not set up a consignment point at her own house and hers, and give Mrs. Song a little dividend over there, so that Mrs. Hui doesn't have to run away. There can also be one more sales channel.

Niang Hui thought it was good, so she asked Mrs. Li next door to accompany her, and went to talk to Mrs. Song, and she agreed with a very easy-to-talk.Knowing that her family is struggling, she doesn't want Hui Niang's dividends, just let her make the tofu and other things for the restaurant cheaper.
