peasant girl

Chapter 54, promise to refuse (1 more

Zhu Xiao straightened his waist, looked at Xun Muyang with his eyes, and said word by word, "Uncle Ayang, you said that you want me to cook in the morning, but there is no problem. I can even help you wash your clothes and clean the house. I can do all these things." , but can I take my eldest sister and third sister with me, our life at home is really difficult, we don’t have enough to eat, we don’t have enough clothes, and if we come to the mountains together, we also have a companion, even if it rains or snows, we are not afraid. Here After you cook the rice, we can dig some herbs and exchange money, so we can be brave in the mountains together!"

Xun Muyang held the spoon.

Faintly looking at the pattern on the spoon.

There are no lines, just a few brush strokes, but this is from the Ru Kiln. Generally, it is only used by tribute to the palace, or by the emperor's relatives. Let alone used by ordinary people, I am afraid they have never seen it.

"What about the second one?" Xun Muyang asked.

"Second, can you give us some wages, no matter how much you give!"

Hearing this, Xun Muyang looked up at Zhu Xiao and smiled.

A person who is already extremely good-looking, now with loose hair, is really alluring.

There was playfulness and a hint of irony in those long and narrow eyes.

Zhu Xiaoyao is really a little girl in ancient times, not to mention straightening her back, she might have been dazed for a long time, Xun Muyang said what she said, or just knelt down, not daring to have any more indiscriminate thoughts.

But she is not.

This is a silent contest.

Zhu Xiao knows that she is a little naive. Laundry, cooking, and tidying up are not heavy jobs. They can eat well when they come here, but they are still greedy for money.

But without money, they will have no way out for the rest of their lives. What kind of business does not need money?Even buying a thick bowl costs money, and buying a bunch of green onions also costs money.

She only has tens of pennies now, and she still owes Zhu Jinzhi money.

What she shoulders is not only to live by herself, nor to live with Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er, but to lead them to live better, to live with backbone and dignity.

And all of this is inseparable from money.

Xun Muyang put down his spoon and looked at Zhu Xiao seriously.

A small girl doll, but standing up straight.

This is the first girl who dared to make conditions with him.

Not a plea, but a request.

"Do you think I should promise you? First of all, you are working, but I never care how much or what you eat!" Xun Muyang said softly.

Zhu Xiao nodded, "Yes!"

"After you've done your homework, you're going to pick herbs and some fruits, and I didn't stop you, right?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Xiao clasped her hands tightly.

I also know in my heart that I am too greedy.

Or maybe Xun Muyang was too gentle, which made her self-confidence soar.

But she forgot that what she does, countless people can do.

"Furthermore, if I teach you to read and recognize characters, you will have to use a pen to practice later, so you will need rice paper, pen and ink. I didn't ask you for money, did I?"

"..."

Zhu Xiao pursed her lips when she heard the words.

What Xun Muyang said is indeed reasonable.

She only thought of herself, and never thought that Xun Muyang actually made a lot of things.

"Uncle Ayang, I was thinking about it, I'm sorry, you have the right to pretend that I didn't say what I said before!" Zhu finished the novel and walked outside.

Xun Muyang pursed his lips, "Xiao Zhu!"

"Huh?" Zhu Xiao turned to look at Xun Muyang.

"I know you're short of money, but I won't give you money. If you come to the mountains to cook, if I give you money, it's money and goods, and it's less humane. But if you're short of money, I can lend it to you. !"

Xun Muyang's voice was soft.

Zhu Xiao could hear it very clearly, and looked back at Xun Muyang with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Ayang, I will definitely speak up when I need it!"

He took off his shoes at the door and put on his straw sandals before going to the kitchen to get poached eggs and start eating.

She understood that while eating, she thought about everything she had experienced in the past few days, and began to reflect.

Things in the past few days have all developed according to what she imagined, so smoothly that she forgot that Xun Muyang is not someone from the Zhu family who has never seen the world.

Besides, what Xun Muyang said is also right, money is nothing, after the money and goods are settled, what kind of affection will he talk about.

Don't be arrogant or impetuous, don't be in a hurry, take a steady step step by step, don't take everything for granted, don't think of yourself as too important and omnipotent, let alone have a sense of shame, only then can you truly win and win. Everything you want.

"Huh!" Zhu Xiao exhaled lightly.

Thanks to Xun Muyang who rejected her today and said these few words to her, she didn't fall into a dead end.

How can other people's money compare to what I earn little by little, and spend it with peace of mind.

Xun Muyang was in the house, also eating poached eggs.

He has money, a lot of money, money that can't be used up in a few lifetimes, Zhu Xiaoyao, just give it.

But for some reason, when Zhu Xiaoxiao asked for wages, he didn't want to give it and refused.

Weird, but not sorry.

Maybe it's rare that Zhu Xiaozhu's food makes him taste good, and he doesn't want to be mixed with the decadent smell of money in it.

He can feed them some sisters, and even teach them to read and write, but the money...

It can be borrowed in other ways, but it cannot be wages.

The two have their own ideas, but it has to be said that they have reached a consensus.

It was still early to cook, and Zhu Xiaopi sat under the eaves, silently reciting the Three Character Classic, and took a stick to write on the ground.

"Little Zhu?"

Hearing the voice, Zhu Xiao quickly got up and went to the door, "What's the matter, Uncle Ayang?"

"Writing on the ground is different from writing on rice paper. Come in and sit here and write!"

"Oh!"

When Zhu Xiao entered the room, he saw that Xun Muyang had tied up his hair and fixed it with a brocade belt. He was handsome and cold, tall and mighty.

She suddenly remembered the first time they met, the feeling Xun Muyang gave her was cold and hard. Compared with today, it was actually not much different, but maybe it was because of the acquaintance, and also because the food she cooked was more polite and kind!
"it is good!"

Zhu Xiao changed her shoes and sat down.

Reaching out to pick up the brush, Xun Muyang looked at it and nodded slightly, "Your posture for holding the brush is correct. Can you write?"

"No, I just saw someone else hold it. Uncle Ayang, there are two scholars in my family!" Zhu Xiaoxiao wrote on the rice paper with ink on it.

It's just that her handwriting is too correct, without the slightest bit of character.

Xun Muyang pondered for a while, got up, went to the bookshelf, opened a drawer, and took out a stack of rice paper, with words written on it, it was the Three Character Classic.

Put it in front of Zhu Xiao, "Copy it according to this font!"

"..."

Zhu Xiao looked at Xun Muyang puzzled.

Xun Muyang coughed, "This is cursive script. Although most girls practice Zanhua Xiaokai, if there are too many people who write it, there will be no special features. Let's practice!"

"..." Zhu Xiao felt that this was definitely not the case, but she still responded obediently, "Oh!"

She is still a child and must be obeyed.

Even if there is a conspiracy, you have to surrender!
