Chapter 800

In the study room in the front yard, the fourth master is worried about the government. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Erfu in the West Courtyard did not have idle sleep to make up for sleep, she simply cleaned up, changed into a clean and elegant turquoise flag suit, and led Ya'er and Qingdai and others to the sewing yard.

The sewing room is in a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the Siye Mansion.

In order to allow the embroidery girl to work in a more comfortable environment, Erfu specially let people replace the diamond-shaped partition window pasted with Korean paper with a glass window, and also entrusted the craftsmen of the Xuancai Workshop to create a batch of glass lamps hanging on the ceiling, each glass lamp, are inlaid with more than ten Western mirrors, so that the faint light of the candle flame is refracted and more evenly projected in the room, so as not to let these embroidery girls who bow their heads to do needlework all day long, in the dim environment, gradually burn out their eyes, and finally end up with a miserable end of desolation in old age。

There are always a few people who are ungrateful.

A group of embroiderers on the needlework felt Erfu's concern for them, and they also worked harder, such as the new New Year's clothes of the hostesses in the rush to work, if they were to change to the past, they would definitely find all kinds of excuses, try their best to ask for various benefits, or try to delay as much as possible, but this time the embroidery girls were willing to rush to work, and even some of the embroidery work left at the bottom of the box before was taken out to make up the number.

When Erfu came to the sewing room, a set of clothes had been cut, and the embroidery work that needed to be decorated such as the placket, sleeve hem, and neckline had been prepared.

It's just that she never dreamed that Erf would do these unconscious actions.

Erfu looked at the pieces of clothes placed on the desk of the embroidery girl, and carefully checked the color and embroidery work of the materials, and finally nodded very satisfied, while asking Qingdai to reward these embroidery girls who worked overtime, lit lamps and boiled oil to catch up with the work, and hurriedly explained that the girl went to the big kitchen to spread the word, explaining that the big kitchen should be more delicate for the meal in the sewing room, focusing on preparing some clear eyes and bright food, so as not to let these embroidery girls hurt their eyes.

"It's been a hard time these days, you guys.

When the Chinese New Year comes, I must show our fourth master and ask him to give the big guy a thick red seal. Erfu clapped her hands, attracted the attention of the big guys to herself, and didn't say those long and encouraging nonsense, smiled and said that she wanted to reward the big guys, and asked the little palace maid to go to the warehouse for herself to pick up a few scraps to take, and then followed Mama Min to the small room next to her to talk.

Erfu sat on the official hat chair by the window, politely asked Mama Min to sit down, took the booklet handed by Mama Min and flipped through it, which was recorded in the situation of the embroidery girl in the courtyard and the consumption of various inventories such as needlework and fabrics, which were highlighted with a red pen, which was deliberately to make trouble for Erfu's individual embroiderers and damaged the material, taking advantage of the bad situation of the fourth master's house.

Everywhere there are those things that harm others and benefit themselves.

As the saying goes, don't be deaf or dumb, don't be a housekeeper.

Although Erfu is not used to these things, but also understands the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish, she twisted her eyebrows slightly disliked, closed the booklet in her hand, bowed slightly to Mama Min, and said with a smile: "These days, I have been nesting in the yard to raise the fetus, these things in the sewing room, all rely on Mama to take care of them, this is a careful intention I give to Mama, and please Mama don't dislike it." ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand and ordered the girl to put the prepared gift on the table.

In the red brocade box, a pair of silver-gilt and emerald Ruyi hairpins are the boutique of Xuancai Fang, and it is also a new product that will be listed in the next season, although the price is not particularly expensive, but at present, it is a New Year's gift specially customized for the members of Xuancai Fang above the three official eunuchs Fujin, and sent it to Mama Min, because she knew that Mama Min was preparing a dowry for her little daughter who was going to marry.

In addition, at the bottom of the brocade box, there is also a silver ticket with a denomination of 100 taels.

This is definitely a reward for Mama Min in terms of face and lining.

"Where can a slave be so polite to the side Fujin, the slave and maid are just doing their duty. "Mama Min is not a person who doesn't know how to lift, although she was originally a cronie of the Wulanala clan, but she didn't deliberately feel sorry for the side Fujin of the Guarjia clan, now that the Wulanala clan is dead, she knows how to advance and retreat better, originally she thought that even if she was not kicked out of the house, she would definitely lose the errand of the needlework housekeeper, and now Erfu rewarded such a thoughtful reward, she was so moved that she didn't want to.

Mama Min was about to kneel down as she spoke, but Erfu smiled and reached out to support her.

She doesn't like the habit of kneeling and worshipping the people around her, she has not changed it after entering the house for many years, she smiled and asked Mama Min to sit down again, and then slowly opened the conversation, she is definitely not a person who turns her face and does not recognize people, and she does not plan to change the steward of the house at this time, as long as she is not a special inner courtyard steward who kicks her nose and face, she is naturally willing to treat them well, such as Mama Min, who knows how to advance and retreat in front of her.

Erfu looked at Mama Min, who was sitting on the embroidery pier in front of her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and gently sent the booklet in her hand to record the number of stocks in the sewing room warehouse, and said in a soft voice and a serious tone: "Mama Min doesn't have to be like this, you will know in the future, in fact, my personality is very easy-going, and I will not connive at the servants around me to eat and take cards from the people below, if anyone really deliberately embarrasses you, you can come directly to me and say, I will definitely make the decision for you, and I will not let you suffer grievances in vain."

It's just that I'm going to say a few bad things to you today.

This is also an ugly thing to say, when it is time to reward, I will never be stingy, but if you can't keep your duty, stretch out your hand at those precious materials, gold and silver threads and other things in the warehouse, once I catch it, when the time comes, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”

When Mama Min heard this, she was even more worried, although she did not have the habit of being greedy for cheap, but the scraps in the sewing room, she did not pull the scraps to the house.

After all, the materials worn by the masters of each courtyard are some expensive things, even if the scraps are put together, the clothes made are definitely more expensive than the clothes made of ordinary fabrics, and sometimes the range of the scraps is not too easy to define, the horses of jacquard satin are made into a dress, shoes and socks, and the remaining materials, taken out and sold, are enough to replace two ordinary satin horses to make a dress for a few people in her family, she has not done this before.

Now that she was reminded by Erfu like this, she was so likely not to be weak-hearted, she knelt on the ground, trembling and trembling, and replied respectfully: "These things, the slave and maid all understand, and the slave and maid will definitely take care of the needlework room and not let Fang Fujin worry about it." But fear is fear, the beautiful words that should be said still have to be said, and she only hopes that Fang Fujin can't find out the little bit of flower work in it.

It's just that what she hoped for was destined to come true.

Although Erfu has never personally taken care of the properties that are set up outside, she still knows the routines that should be understood, especially when she has personally made parent-child clothes for the fourth master and Xiaoqi, and she understands how many clothes can be cut out of a piece of material, but she didn't want to delve into the things that have passed, she raised her forehead and looked at Mama Min who was kneeling on the ground, smiled lightly, and said softly: " I will give Mama Min a promise today, I will not blame the past for what has passed, I only hope that in the future, you can understand what kind of person I am, and don't do things that make me too embarrassed behind my back. ”

"The slave and the maid know that the slave and the maid will not dare to do it again. With Erfu's words, Mama Min breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't have to be greedy for this benefit, this time she could keep the errand at hand, she would never move those messy ideas for this little profit, after all, she had long heard that the side Fujin of the West Courtyard was a very generous master, and the palace maid who was on an errand in the West Courtyard, regardless of grade, as long as it was out of the house at the age of age, this side Fujin gave a valuable dowry and makeup, and those married servants, every time they came to the house to ask for peace, this side Fujin was never stingy when he was rewarded, and now he gave her and the embroidery girl in the needlework room in generalIt's all really good.

She believes that with Guerjia's needlework in charge, she is also better at managing the embroidery on needlework and thread.

"Now that you understand, I won't talk nonsense. As she spoke, Erfu drew a perfect end to her conversation, she smiled and asked Ya'er to help Mama Min up, and walked out as she spoke, holding some scraps that Ya'er found out of the utility room, these are the leftovers of cutting new clothes for the maid in the palace, which she plans to send to the Wuya School on Fengtai Zhuangzi, so that the consumables samples that are specially taught to those girls from the Zhuang family to learn to do needlework are sampled, as long as the embroidery girl over there thinks that these scraps can be used, she is ready to add an income-generating project to the Fourth Master's Mansion, and sell these scraps to the academy for some scattered silver。

"Master, even if there are a lot of these scraps, they are not valuable, even if they are sewing shops in the south of the city, why do you care about this thing!" The girl who helped Er Fu out of the sewing room looked at the small bag of half-horn scraps that Elder was carrying in her hand with a little disgust, and said softly.

"Open source and reduce expenditure, these things are worthless, but can you exchange some money?

It must be able to be exchanged for money, and as for how much money can be exchanged, let's just say that if I sell this little bit of rag in my hand to those shops that specialize in making shoes and buy them, it will at least be enough for ordinary people to pay for a day or two.

Put it in our house, these bits and pieces of silver, although it is nothing, but it is enough to add some lamp oil and candles to the sewing room, and you can save a little is a little, and when you get married and live in the future, you will understand the preciousness of thrifty housekeeping. Erf smiled and raised the rags in her hand and explained softly.

She can understand the reason why Ya'er doesn't understand, the gap between the rich and the poor in ancient times is far greater than modern people imagine, like Erfu, who lives in the official eunuch's family and is from a powerful family, many of them don't understand the hardships of life, one of their clothes and a beaded flower may be enough for ordinary people to chew for a whole year, not to mention the fourth master, who is the royal descendant of the prince and the grandson of the dragon, which is why the clothed servants of the Internal Affairs Office are obviously doing the work of serving people, but they are all rich.

Outside a penny of silver can buy hundreds of eggs, sold to the palace, then immediately raise the price hundreds of times, this day the palace consumed a variety of ingredients, where can be described by thousands of people, the distribution of all layers of management, is definitely a lot of people to talk about the interests, now the internal affairs of the government has just seen some signs of corruption, although she can not interfere in the internal affairs of the stall, but it does not prevent her from first taking the fourth master's mansion to practice, and when the fourth master ascends the throne, she also has the ability to clean up the greedy moths of the internal affairs office, so that they can restrain the greed in their hearts, so that the uncontrollable becomes controllable, Let those moths who want to be greedy for silver be restrained, and lest the fourth master be commented on by the history books as mean and unkind, and the officials are harsh, thinking like this, Erfu explained it more carefully, after all, the servants who are now with her will have a day when they will be alone sooner or later.

Regarding the movements of Erfu's side, he can't hide it from the other ladies in the house.

The two Li Fang Fujin in the mansion listened to Erfu even collecting the scraps in the sewing room to exchange for silver, while laughing at her for her shallow eyelids, and fighting with the servants serving in the mansion for that little money, while taking the account books of the big kitchen to him, looking at them carefully, thinking that he would do something to show the fourth master, so as not to let Erfu pick up all the good things.

It's just different from Erfu's origins, whether it's Li Hezhu or Li's, they have never really lived among the people, and after listening to the steward's clever defense, they also agree with the consumption of the big kitchen, and the funniest thing is that they actually think that eggs, rice and noodles, which are inseparable from the food every day, must be bought every day to be fresh, when this kind of joke between servants and servants spreads to Erf's ears, Erf can't believe what he heard.

It's really special......

To say that vegetables and fruits have to be bought every day to be fresh enough, Erfu can still understand, but rice and noodles, these ingredients, as long as they are properly preserved, it is enough to eat them for a few months, and there are eggs This kind of ingredient, buy hundreds of thousands just to eat a day, how many people in this house have to eat, but she has to take care of it now, and there are some unjustifiable names, so she can only sulk and forget it, but it does not prevent her from putting these things in her heart, thinking about settling accounts with those greedy ghosts in the future.
