After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 23 Water Woman
Mingjia originally didn't consider being betrayed by her master. Either she did something wrong, or it involved the secrets of the back house, and she wasn't curious. Don't want to cause trouble either. However, there was a lady in the water who really suited her liking.
She was originally the dowry wife of the eldest lady in Duke Chengen's house. I can needle and thread, embroider, comb my hair, and also have some cooking skills. Mingjia has watched several palace fighting dramas. This kind of dowry wife is trained for all-around.
There are many skills that Granny Shui didn't mention for those who have to assist the mistress in housekeeping. She probably guessed that the Xiao family won't need those skills for a while.
Mother Xu saw that the little girl's eyes frequently glanced at Granny Shui, wondering if there was anything she didn't understand. Take the other four people away, leaving Shui Pozi behind. Turning to Xiao Qingshan, he said: "Master, don't worry, we are the most well-informed in this industry, and we won't touch anyone who is in trouble."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Shui and motioned for Mrs. Shui to speak on her own. Mrs. Shui thought for a while and said: "Hello, Master, Madam, Master and Miss. The old lady is single and can go anywhere outside the capital, even though she was sold..." At this point, there was some pause and nervousness. Then he said, "The eldest lady was kind-hearted and interceded with the old man for me, so she was sold in the capital."
Mingjia understood and didn't make any big mistake. Moreover, he did not betray his master, and the fact that he could stay in the capital after being sold was because of his master's request, which shows that the master and servant still have some feelings for each other. Yes, it’s her.
Xiao Qingshan asked how much it cost, and Xu's mother gritted her teeth and reported the price: "15 taels of silver." After saying that, she grinned. Xiao Qingshan's mouth twitched when he heard it, so expensive? The price is painful for both buyers and sellers.
After hearing Mother Xu's quotation, Mrs. Shui raised her head and glanced at Mother Xu, then lowered her head without saying a word. Mrs. Dong was also shocked. In the past, the Xiao family's annual expenses, including Xiao Qingshan's pen and ink, could not even cost 10 taels of silver.
In the end, Xiao Qingshan gritted his teeth and bought Shui Granny. He also knew that Mrs. Shui was worth the price. Xiao Qingshan and the man who led the way went to apply for the deed, while Mr. Dong took the children to the front yard to drink tea and so on.
Mother Xu took Mrs. Shui down to pack her things. After entering the house, Mother Xu hurriedly said to Mrs. Shui: "The population is simple and there is no fight. The mistress seems to be in poor health, so she is not a strict person." Staying away from the capital is suitable for you.
How could Mrs. Shui not see what Mother Xu said? She knew that Mother Xu was helping her. Whether it was the low price just now or the five choices, in fact, she was the only one who truly met the requirements of that young lady.
However, some buyers are worried about their identity as being sold, so there is another woman who is also being sold. She knew that the other woman was sold out because she was lazy and drinking while on duty.
Moreover, she is willing to follow the Xiao family. Otherwise, when Mrs. Xu took the initiative to say that she was from the Chengen Palace, she would have interrupted her.
Women of their level would usually rather be beaten to death than sold. The sales were also silenced first, and they were sold secretly so that no one would know who the previous owner belonged to.
He knows too much about his family. If he is bought by an enemy, there is no guarantee that he will not use it to murder his family. The eldest lady was very kind to her, so it was impossible for her to harm the eldest lady.
Now that Mrs. Shui has nothing to offer, she cannot even thank Mother Xu. She takes half a step back and wants to salute Mother Xu. Xu's mother quickly stopped her: "Back then, I sent people to Cheng'en's house. Thanks to you for reminding me, I didn't violate the taboo in the house. It was you who helped me first."
It was already noon when we came out of the market. As the head of the family, Xiao Qingshan decided to have lunch outside instead of going back to the inn. Mingjun was very happy. This was his first time eating out.
Mingjia looked at Mrs. Shui, who had just walked out of the market and was a little dazed. "Grandma Shui, do you know any delicious food near the capital?"
Mrs. Shui came back to her senses, looked around and tried to get her bearings. Fortunately, she grew up in the capital city since she was a child. "Miss, there is a stone bridge on the left turn ahead. There is a famous Sun Ji Yangchun Noodles at the bridge end. Do you want to try it?"
The Yangchun noodles recommended by Shui Pozi are indeed delicious and the portions are large. Mingjia ate less than half of the bowl, and her belly was round. Xiao Qingshan also ordered a bowl for Mrs. Shui, who sat at the next table to eat noodles.
After one mouthful of food, Mrs. Shui's eyes turned red. It tastes so good that she has been eating it since she was a kid. She can eat it again.
After dinner, I originally planned to go back to the inn, put Mrs. Shui down, and let Mrs. Dong and her daughter rest for a while. Passing by a clothing store, Mrs. Dong walked directly in. It was not convenient to make clothes on the road, so she could always buy some clothes for her family.
At this time, I could see that Mrs. Shui had good eyesight. Mrs. Shui explained all the clothes matching, embroidery techniques and materials to Mrs. Dong one by one, so scared that the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask for more money.
In fact, Mrs. Shui probably didn't know that the shopkeeper wanted a lot. She hadn't bought ready-made clothes outside for many years. They were all made by the sewing room in the mansion, and she felt there was no difference between a 300-wen set and a 500-wen set.
After buying clothes, the whole family returned to the inn very satisfied. Mrs. Shui didn't expect that she also got a new set of clothes. The wife said it was a meeting gift. Lady Shui was also very happy.
Cheng Si was sitting in the lobby of the inn, a little anxious. It was already afternoon and he still hadn't come back. There are many noble people in the capital, so be sure nothing happens. The Duke is still in Phoenix Mountain, and they may not be of any use!
Suddenly, I saw a family of four returning with a lot of things. Cheng Si hurried up to meet her, glanced at Mrs. Shui and paused. He has seen this woman before.
Mrs. Dong sent Mrs. Shui to choose a room in the small courtyard, put everything away, ordered hot water, and arranged for Mrs. Shui to take a good bath. I went back to help my daughter wash and change clothes.
Mrs. Shui also felt that Cheng Si looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen him before. He laughed at himself, "I'm really old and can't remember anymore." I hope it's not related.
After Mingjia washed up, she sat in front of the table in her middle coat, sorting out what she had seen today very seriously. Xiao Qingshan came over to take a look: the Yangchun noodles in Qiaotou are delicious. A bowl costs 20 yuan, and a pound of noodles costs 15 yuan. A bowl of noodles requires so much fine noodles.
Xiao Qingshan looked at the childish calligraphy and the vernacular "travel notes" and felt that his daughter was extremely cute. Then he saw that Ming Jun was also writing a travel note, and he stretched his head to read; "The candy men in the capital also cost 3 cents each, and they don't sell two for 5 cents. The boss is stingy."
Hahahahahaha, Xiao Qingshan couldn't hold back his laughter in the end. He is not going to tell his son yet that sugar figures in Qingyun County only sell for 2 cents on weekdays, while candy figures in the capital can be sold for 5 cents each during festivals or New Year fairs.
Hearing laughter, the brother and sister stopped writing together, raised their heads and stared at their father, with anger and grievance on their faces. Their expressions were the same, as if they were asking, "Dad, why are you laughing? Don't laugh!!"
Xiao Qingshan held back his laughter and quickly explained that he was laughing happily because they wrote well. The brother and sister responded with their eyes at the same time: Do you think I believe it?
At the end of his travelogue, Ming Jun added: My sister said that children during their teething period shouldn’t eat too much sweets, so I won’t try Beijing’s sweets. I’ll try them next time I come to Beijing!
Yes, 7-year-old Mingjun has started to lose his baby teeth. The young man has been a lot quieter recently because he is afraid of showing his gaping teeth.
Thus, Xiao Mingjun's first travelogue was born, which also launched the unique review mode of "Xiao Mingjun's Travels", which is also the soulful ending of every travelogue, said my sister. . . .
