Cheng Enhou's Love History

After dinner, Li Mingxiu and his wife were drinking Xiaoshi tea in the room, and the serving girl came in, holding the pomegranate red dress in her hands, "There is a man named Tongze, who gave this to his wife."

The woman took the skirt and looked it over, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any new stitches. She touched the damaged place from memory, and felt that the stitches were perfectly stitched.

She looked up and asked, "What about others?"

"Wait outside, and said that I asked my wife to have an examination, and if there is something wrong, I will call him."

The woman grinned, "I really can't tell, it's just a half-grown kid, with more dexterous hands than a girl."

"You really did a great job?" Seeing her keep admiring her, it aroused Li Mingxiu's interest.

"What are you doing lying to you? This kid can do it. Let me tell you, only a careful person can be dexterous. Just for this, you can cultivate him more in the future. Speaking of which, isn't his family in decline? Let alone such a The craftsmanship can be regarded as a skill.”

Li Mingxiu's heart moved, he took out five taels of silver from the drawer, and handed it to the girl, "Give it to Tong Ze, let him go back first."

The girl took the money but didn't move, "He said to wait, I don't know if the master has anything else to order."

Li Mingxiu smiled slightly, knowing that Tong was still thinking about the advance payment, he pondered for a moment and ordered, "Just say I know, let him go back first, and entrust him with some errands in a few days."

After dismissing the girl, the woman rubbed the pomegranate skirt with a smile, "Didn't he just beg you to pay the monthly money in advance? According to me, it's better to let him make all the spring clothes for the next season. If it is done well, it will save money." It’s not a small amount of expenses. This money can’t be said to be in your pocket, but it should be credited to your family management.”

Li Mingxiu nodded, "I think so too, not only boys' but also girls', isn't it just to find a girl to help measure the size, I don't know which male tailor has passed through it outside, it's all the same .”

Coincidentally, even though he didn't know that the couple was planning something in the house, this was what was on his mind.

He had inquired that Pei's mansion distributed two seasons of clothes to the servants a year, and they outsourced them to find someone to do them.He showed his hand today, of course, to let Li Mingxiu and his wife see that he has this ability. If he can take over the job of making clothes, the money alone will be enough for him to pay his monthly debt of five taels of silver. But the next day will be a little harder.

As for earning 200 taels by this, the same is not so naive.Sure enough, when Li Mingxiu talked to him, he only said that he could give him an extra five taels of silver every month, even if it was paid for making clothes twice a year.

How dark, it is clearly capitalists exploiting labor.

However, he had no choice but to take one step at a time.Maybe it's because he is obedient and knowledgeable about current affairs. Satisfied, Li Mingxiu reminded him, "As long as you are smart enough and willing to do things, you don't have to worry about opportunities. Everything can't be done overnight. If you want something, you have to take out the corresponding chips to make it happen." People buy it."

If you are willing to say this, you can probably be regarded as a good person. No matter what age, no one is born with the obligation to help others. Whoever has no suffering and who has no troubles, begging for food in the dunya is just a matter of ability.

There are quite a lot of servants in Pei's house, there are always about a hundred or so sizes, the men gather together and he measures the size himself, while the women find the wife's big girl Fu Ling to help, the fabrics have already been purchased, so he doesn't need to worry about it.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is not yet, in order to catch up with the spring, I can distribute the clothes, and at the same time, I am free every day, and I am only busy making clothes.

It's okay during the day, but at night it is inevitable to light a lamp and boil oil, usually in the middle of the night.Although there is a small screen between the two beds, it still cannot block the light.Because of this, Xie Yanwen had a big opinion, and every night he baked pancakes on the bed, his face stretched eight feet long.

Really unable to fall asleep, Xie Yanwen turned over and sat up angrily, glaring at Tong while mocking, "What kind of twat work, you still do it very vigorously."

After speaking, Tong still continued to do the flying needle and thread as if nothing happened, with a focused expression.Xie Yanwen was startled, and then realized that his ridicule didn't arouse any reaction, it was like hitting cotton with a fist, which made people even more irritated.

"I'm talking to you, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so hard, do you plan to serve the Pei family as a servant for the rest of your life?"

Xie Yanwen's thinking probably has no logic, and the two sentences before and after are clearly not necessarily connected.Tong Ze raised his eyes and smiled slowly, "Envy me for having a skill? If you are willing to learn, I can consider teaching you. For the sake of the roommate, the tuition fee will be halved, and the monthly fee will be halved."

Not ashamed!Xie Yanwen rolled his eyes, who cares not to learn this kind of girly thing, his heart is thicker than a city wall, and he is familiar with everyone, and he can still laugh when he is squeezed out, of course , and will give you back quietly.

Xie Yanwen snorted, lifted the quilt and buried his head, angrily fell asleep.

Although he slept full of resentment, when Xie Yanwen woke up early the next day, he saw that the breakfast was already on the table, and he didn't speak while eating, apparently he had cooked for him. Usually there is half a steamed bun.

Xie Yanwen rustled his clothes, and said coldly, "What are you doing, are you buying me?"

"Just when my conscience found out that you are too thin, I will make up for you." The same time he spoke, his face showed the kind of free and easy that Xie Yanwen hated most - as if everything was careless, and all the carelessness Shun can laugh it off.

They all fell from heaven to the quagmire, so why do I have nightmares every night, dreaming of my family being ruined, dreaming of being dragged to a dirty prison waiting to be sold, but this person can live so gracefully?Doing things with a smile, making money with a smile, full of vitality, so easy to forget, do people with the same surname still have a heart?

The more Xie Yanwen thought about it, the more disgusted he became, and he threw the steamed bun aside angrily, "It's useless for you to please those people. After all, you and I are servants. Even if we redeem ourselves in the future, we will still be slaves, and we will be discriminated against wherever we go. The future generations will be unlucky together."

In fact, if he didn't mention it, he could roughly guess the ending, but after verifying it from a contemporary population, his heart still sank.However, he is optimistic by nature and believes that there is no unparalleled path. Since he can be resurrected from the dead, he should cherish the opportunity to live and not give up lightly no matter what.

"I kept the green hills here, so you should too." Looking at Xie Yanwen's thin shoulders, Tong said with a patient smile, "The body is the most important thing. It's useless to say anything when you're as thin as a bone. It's hindering you at night. I just want to say sorry to you, and I'll put up another curtain later, trying to cover the light so as not to disturb your dream."

Xie Yanwen was full of complaints, and when he heard this, he couldn't utter it immediately. Although the same words were not soft, his attitude was very gentle.In all fairness, we have been together for a month, but this person is really likable, he is pretty and sweet, but he never utters disgusting words of flattery, and I have never seen him fawning over anyone, and he often takes care of others quietly in the dark , I can't blame others for seeing him very much.

In fact, he really doesn't hate such a person, it's just that when compared with his own negativity, the same positivity pierces into his heart more and more like a thorn.

Or maybe I really should learn from my classmates?It's not to accept fate, but to live as actively as possible to make your mood and body better.

Xie Yanwen sat down sullenly, picked up the half steamed bun, and wanted to say thank you, but unfortunately it was like a lump in his throat, and he struggled for a long time to bite it, swallowing the gratitude that existed in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the new year came, and as the newly promoted marquis' mansion in Kyoto, there was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate the new year.

The social activities in this era are quite rich, and the banquet lasts for many days. Married women are not shy about showing their faces, drinking and chatting with male guests generously.Of course, young girls still have their own social circles, most of which are confined to the inner courtyard, but right now there are no girls who have not left the court in the Pei residence.

As a low-ranking servant, he was also busy serving the banquet. The manager didn't specify where he would serve, but he would be dispatched to help whenever there was a need.

In the front yard there is continuous music from silk and bamboo pipes, and in the back yard there is delicious food and wine for you to choose.At the same time, he smelled the fragrance of wine floating in the air, but it was a pity that he couldn't taste it himself, and it was hard to avoid a deep sense of regret besides itching.

After finally helping out from the kitchen, he could rest for a while when he had time. He was strolling towards the front yard before turning to the corridor, when a young boy suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What about my mother, why is she missing again, always leaving brother Xiao behind. Take me to find my mother quickly."

The half-grown man, wearing a bright red robe, looks as cute as a boy in front of Guanyin.At the same time, he could guess that this should be the only young master in the Pei family, the legendary filial brother.

He was looking for his mother, but as to where the second grandma was now, the girls around him all had secretive expressions on their faces. Pei Yi couldn't ask the result, and seeing his mouth swelled up, he looked very aggrieved.

While looking left and right, he suddenly saw Tong Ze, and hurriedly waved and asked, "Have you seen my mother?"

When walking along the way, it seems that I have seen a very beautiful young woman, and hurried to the backyard with the girl. At the same time, I remember that the woman's complexion is slightly dark, and her gestures are charming. Compared with the little boy in front of me, she seems to be three or four very similar.

He took two steps forward, shook his head and said, "The little one didn't see it."

Tong Ze squatted down unconsciously when he was talking, so that Pei Yi could look at him at the same level.Unexpectedly, this simple action surprised Pei Yi a little. It seems that no one has treated him like this before. The little boy suddenly felt that he was greatly respected, and he felt very good inside. He stretched out his hand and made a coquettish gesture, " I'm tired, you can carry me back."

His voice was very soft and waxy, and he obviously felt uneasy about not being able to find his mother. When he got closer, he could smell the faint fragrance of milk exuding from his body, and his voice was entwined with a strong nasal sound - this is an insecure child.

Looking at him at the same time, he suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he heard the news of his parents' accident, in the dark night, he also hugged the quilt and wept silently, because he didn't dare to let others hear him, one was because he was ashamed of his own weakness, The other is that he is afraid that his uncle and aunt will dislike him even more.

I remember that not long after arriving at my uncle's house, he would wash his underwear and socks after taking a bath every night, but a five-year-old child has limited strength and cannot wring those clothes well.When I woke up in the middle of the night, I seemed to hear the sound of water dripping from the bathroom.He got up to look, then wrung as hard as he could.

But when he returned to the bed, the sound of dripping water still kept ringing in his ears, torturing him so much that he couldn't close his eyes all night.I was always worried that the sound would disturb other people and make people think that he was too ignorant as a burden.

Before he was a teenager, he had been living cautiously, relying on only a few people who were called close relatives.It wasn't until he went to boarding school in high school that the cheerful personality gradually found himself. Because of studying and making friends, his personality was finally released. He also began to understand that some feelings really cannot be forced.

While remembering, the same turned around and squatted down with a smile, indicating that Pei Yi could jump on his back. The latter looked around and remembered the person he missed the most, "But what about my mother, didn't you just say take me back?" Changing clothes, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?"

The girl casually said, "Brother Xiao is too playful, he climbs up the rockery endlessly when he sees the rockery, grandma got impatient, so she asked you to play for a while."

"Abandon me again," Pei Yi said sullenly, "it's like this every time, so you can't play with me for a while, and ignore me all day long."

Looking back at the same time, he saw his delicate eyebrows, big and bright black eyes, such an extremely delicate and lovely child, but it seemed that he didn't deserve his mother's love, and it sounded like it was not the first time he was thrown out like this.

Thanks to his childhood experience, he has always been patient with children, so he said softly, "There is something ahead, the second grandma may have been called by his wife. Brother Xiao, why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes, and go to the banquet after you are done?" I can see her."

After a few words of comfort, Pei Yi calmed down, and began to look at the same rule in the blink of an eye.With delicate features, handsome and clean face, sincere smile, but some kind of indescribable cunning flashed in his eyes, he looked smart and friendly, and he couldn't help feeling good in his heart, "You don't need to memorize it, you take me back, I There is something delicious for you to eat."

The girl at the side turned her eyes to the sky, although she was dissatisfied, she didn't stop her.Ren Youtong took Pei Yi's hand and led him to the courtyard of the second room.

After entering the Moon Cave Gate, I saw that the entire small courtyard was empty and there was no one there. The girl who led the way let out a pooh when she saw this, "either standing up the corpse or showing her face, everyone knows how to curry favor and climb up."

The girl beat and beat Pei Yi unhappily, and changed Pei Yi's clothes inadvertently. At the same time, she simply changed the young man into a lake-blue jacket. silk material.

After comforting Pei Yi for a while, Tong Ze just came out of the courtyard of the second room. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a man with his back facing him, wearing a stone-blue straight suit and a small crown on his head. It's tight, but the whole person exudes a comfortable laziness.

Based on his sensitivity to clothing, he judged that this person should not be a distinguished guest, otherwise someone would have come here by himself, someone should have come looking for him long ago.

It must be that the frustrated young man escaped from the table and came out for a stroll, and was about to sneak away without a sound, but the man turned around suddenly, facing each other directly, and the same steps stopped in an instant.
