Reborn little girl

Chapter 224
The old lady Bai heard Qi Luo say that she would go out a few more times when she turned around, and she became even more worried. Are the mouths of these country wives so forgiving?I don't know what unworthy things I would say when I saw my daughter?

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Bai thought that she should pay more attention to Qi Luo, and then said: "Don't even think about getting along with this country old lady, it's impossible, you just need to keep your mouth shut, okay, You are better than me at this point, my mother is talking for nothing, but you have to remember what my mother means."

Although the old lady Bai spoke vaguely in a hurry, Qiluo knew what her mother meant. In fact, from her own point of view, it is still difficult for her to get along with strangers. Since mother thinks it is unnecessary to do so, then Just follow Mother's wishes, Sui Qiluo nodded and said: "Okay, I'll listen to Mother, Mother, should we sort out the things that are going to be sold tomorrow?"

"Of course, even if these things can't be sold, they can be sold by your brother, but you don't count them clearly. Do you know how many copper coins were sold at that time?" Old lady Bai rolled her eyes reproachfully to comfort her daughter.

Qi Luo sells these nets purely to subsidize her family, she doesn't care about how many coppers she can sell, so she smiled and said: "Mother, didn't I say it a long time ago, these things are for me to pass the time when I am bored. Yes, you have to say that you sold it for money, and since it was exchanged for money, I will give it to you, I don't want half of it, you and brother are so clear about what to do, you don't have to make brother sad."

The old lady Bai was not guarding against her own son, but she was guarding against her daughter-in-law, so the old lady Bai did not hide it from her daughter, and sighed: "I also told you about the situation at your sister-in-law's house, so I just Let you put away the good things, she has never seen good things before, she has shallow eyes, usually she secretly takes care of her mother's family, but if it is not too much, your mother, your father and even your brother will act as if they don't know, let her go , but your things are not good, I want to keep those for you as a dowry."

After finishing speaking, afraid that her daughter would be stupid and not pay attention to anything, the old lady Bai hurriedly said: "These connections you made now, according to Mother's wishes, should be kept, but you are a loose hand, Mother is afraid that you will give it to your sister-in-law casually, so it's better to sell it, and the copper plate sold will also be kept for your dowry, so don't take it seriously."

Qi Luo looked at her mother's stubborn look, and knew that it was useless to talk too much, she just thought, it seems that she has to find a way to get Xiaoya to help buy food from the racecourse secretly, so that her own money is spent The mother didn't feel distressed, so she didn't argue with her mother, so she nodded and said: "Okay, then listen to mother."

After talking to her daughter, seeing that her daughter was honest and obedient, Mrs. Bai was relieved, so she took her daughter to the west courtyard to sort out the things to be sold tomorrow.

It happened that Xiaoya was going tomorrow, so, not long after, Xiaoya came with the objects she made. Xiaoya was not good at needlework in the past, but she was smart. It's not that it's a little bit better, and with the help of Qiluo to make some patterns, the embroidered handkerchief purse really looks alike.

The old lady Bai took the things that the little girl brought over, and praised: "I can't tell, the little girl's craftsmanship is not bad. Well, if you sell these together, someone will definitely buy them. Then the aunt will sell the money for you." Here you are, you have to save it well so that it can be used as private money in the future." As she said that, the old lady Bai leaned in front of the little girl, and said mysteriously: "No matter what the girl's family is, when you get old, you have to save some money. Has."

The little girl is also very cheerful, and she gets along well with Mrs. Bai. After hearing this, she doesn't care whether she understands it or not, so she just smiled and said: "Okay, I have accepted the love of the aunt, but, the aunt Can I really exchange this for money?"

"Why not, look at how well-made your purse is, it's no worse than the ones sold in the embroidery shop, and the little bird embroidered on this handkerchief is so majestic, I think your girl is a coincidence Yes, Madam will be a matchmaker for you later on, can you do it?" Mrs. Bai really liked the little girl, although she knew that other people's servants couldn't talk about being a matchmaker, she still couldn't help asking.

Xiaoya and the others in the Longchang Escort are different from the servants in other places. Without the taboos that Mrs. Bai thought, they really can marry freely. However, once they get married, they are not considered servants of the Escort. The body contract is given to you, and the wages are also settled.If you are marrying someone from the Escort, then you don't have to leave the Escort, but go to Shopkeeper Lei Da and tell him that you will keep your body, and Shopkeeper Lei Da will decide on your errand according to the situation.

However, if you marry someone who isn't from the Escort, then you won't be able to stay, so Xiaoya doesn't care too much about Mrs. Bai's words. The errands in the Escort are what those girls and mothers in Yangzhou City are rushing for. She was reluctant to marry outside, so she just heard that the matchmaker was a little shy, so she stomped her feet and said in disbelief, "Ma'am just likes to make fun of us, I'm still young."

As usual in the Escort, if any mother made fun of these girls, the little girl would definitely pull others, but where is she now?This is the Bai family, who is the Bai girl? It's because I stomped my feet and was shy, and didn't dare to pull on Qiluo.

The little girl didn't dare to mention Qiluo, the old lady Bai said that she was happy today, but she automatically mentioned Qiluo, and sighed: "You child, it seems that you should be thirteen or fourteen years old. In our country At such an age, one should look for her in-law’s family, if it’s too late, there won’t be many good ones, alas, our Qiluo’s family came a little late, otherwise we should have children by this time.”

Old lady Bai's words were both sudden and overdone. The two daughters in front of her eyes don't even have her husband's family yet, but they can't listen to the words of having a child.Not to mention Xiaoya, an ancient girl, after hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and even Qi Luo, who thought she could hear everything, was surprised. When she heard her mother suddenly say this, even if it was In front of Xiaoya, it was enough to embarrass her.

Afraid that her mother would say something inappropriate again, Qi Luo hurriedly said: "Mother, aren't you taking care of things for everyone? What are you talking about? After finishing it later, you still have to go out and get the vegetables. Isn't it tomorrow?" Do you have to sell some home-grown vegetables?"

The old lady Bai knew that she had just said carelessly what made her daughter embarrassed, so she stopped saying it, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, okay, listen to my daughter, let's take care of these items for sale." Said After thinking about it, he said to Qi Luo: "Yun Niang, Niang told you that you can only take out one or two of the good things you made, and you can take out all the other things made with the silk thread Niang gave you. to sell, do you understand?"

When Qiluo heard this, she didn't know how powerful it was. Although this countryman didn't know fine details, he could still distinguish between good and bad. You live in the country, and you can feel comfortable when you are bored, but you can't be with others when you open up. It’s too much, otherwise, if you don’t fit in well, others will look at you differently. This principle is not only ancient, it is also common in modern times. For example, you live in a dormitory and you wear famous brands every day. Big meal, how do others get along with you?Sui Qiluo hurriedly said: "Of course I understand, it's all up to mother."

The little girl has never been in the country, and when she heard this, she understood that she couldn't show her wealth in front of others, so she was afraid that her own things would cause trouble for Miss Bai, so she hurriedly said: "Ma'am, help me to see, if it doesn't work, you Just help pick it up, and I'll sell it in the city when I turn back."

What a clever little girl, Mrs. Bai said this to Qi Luo, because it is better to look at the things that the little girl brought, afraid that there are some particularly good things in them, which will be seen by others, and they will think that these things in their house are not from the right way Yes, so I wanted to mention something to Xiaoya, not thinking that although the child is small, he just understood it.

Sui Bai's old lady hurriedly said: "Come on, just listen to me. In fact, this good thing can't be sold for a price in a small place like ours. It's better to save up and sell it in the embroidery shop in Yucheng County. You will definitely get it." It's a good price, girl, do you think what the aunt said?"

I still know this little girl. Hongnu, Xiangqin's elder sister who serves Miss Xu Biao, is pretty good. When she has nothing to do, she also does some work and entrusts the embroidery shop to sell it. For such a thing, as long as Lei Da, the treasurer of the Escort, does not delay the errand, He didn't care about it, so Xiaoya learned about the buying and selling prices of the embroidery shop from Xiangqin.

Knowing that Mrs. Bai was sincerely doing her good, the little girl asked, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, I understand. I listen to Mrs. Bai, and I will sell it in the city later, and I will definitely get a good price."

The old lady Bai was even more satisfied when she saw that the little girl knew what was good and what was wrong. She still cared a lot about the people with whom her daughter got along well, after all, good children didn't cause trouble.

Because of the choice of vegetables, Mrs. Bai didn't have the time to talk to the two daughters in detail, so she simply helped pick out the ones that couldn't be taken out, and left the rest to Qiluo and Xiaoya.

As soon as Mrs. Bai left, the little girl also followed the rules. Qi Luo looked at her like this, and said angrily: "Okay, didn't I say that in the future we will get along the same way, and I feel uncomfortable if you do this. Besides, who stipulated that the young lady and the servant girl should get along in such a respectful way? What's more, I'm not your young lady."

When Qi Luo said it, the little girl thought about it, but she was a little embarrassed. She had never served the lady before, so how could she know how the girl and the lady got along with each other? It was just what the sisters who served Miss Xu Biao and Sister Tong said. However, she also thought so, and now she was pointed out by Miss Bai, she was really at a loss.

Seeing Xiaoya's embarrassing look, Qi Luo secretly blamed herself for not being able to speak, and hurriedly said: "Don't be embarrassed, I didn't mean to blame you when I said that, I just told you that Man said that we are not masters and servants, even if we are, We get along well with each other, so we can be more casual, you believe me, I didn't lie to you at all."

After finishing speaking, Qi Luo saw that the little girl was still a little confused, and explained unconsciously: "In the future, let's be more casual, for example, in private, even if we don't match each other as sisters, we still have to match you and me, do you understand?"
