"Xiaocui, come here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yongning and Shouning, two little girls, were playing family games in the yard, and Li Yi sat on the stone bench and beckoned to Xiaocui.

"Li Gongzi, what's the matter?" Cui ran over from there.

"Your young lady, is it a menstrual affair these days?" Although he knew that it seemed a little inappropriate to ask this question, but for the sake of those few melon seeds, Zeng Zuimo had not paid attention to him for a long time, and Miss Zeng would not be so picky, Li Yi felt that the problem should be in other aspects.

"Ah......" Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her face turned red as if she was about to drip blood, this kind of thing, a woman, can she tell others casually?

If you talk about this kind of thing, the young lady will kill her if she finds out......

"No, no, it'll be a few days." Thinking like this in her heart, Xiao Cui said with a red face.

"That's it......" Li Yi shook his head, if it wasn't for that reason, what other possibilities were there?

Xiaocui lowered her head and muttered: "I don't know what's wrong with Miss these days, she is always alone in a daze, and she often loses everything, Miss has never been like this before, in short, it's very strange anyway......"

In the room, Zeng Zuimo sat at the table, holding a paintbrush, his eyes were slightly distracted, but the rice paper in front of him was blank.

The knock continued for a long time before she heard it, put down her pen, and said, "The door is not closed, come in." ”

"Whoa!"

Li Yi threw a big bag of things on the table, looked at her and said: "The ...... with salt and pepper flavor, five spices, cream flavor, red date flavor, and plum flavor, isn't it just that you have eaten a few melon seeds, as for being angry for so long?" ”

Zeng Zuimo was stunned, opened one of the small cloth bags, and there was a strange fragrance coming out, she tasted one, the expression on her pretty face changed slightly, and then put it all away, and then said to Li Yi: "When did I get angry?" ”

It's a woman's nature not to admit it, so she almost wrote the word angry on her face, and said that she wasn't angry, but she was not angry but returned my melon seeds to me?

"What did you say yesterday about the ready-to-wear store?" Zeng Zuimo deliberately diverted the topic.

Li Yi shook his head, finally able to speak normally, and said: "The fame of underwear has been beaten, you can expand your business again, make ready-to-wear, in addition to the common styles, also design some new styles, divide the size, which one the guest fancies, and you can wear it directly after paying the bill." ”

In this era, there are no clothing stores, some are just cloth villages, small families buy cloth and go home to cut and make clothes, and large families will invite or have special tailors to order, the concept of ready-to-wear is not yet there.

Clothing, food, housing and transportation, no matter what kind of era, people are inseparable from these four things, engaged in these four industries, never have to worry about being eliminated by the times.

Although the ready-to-wear industry will be involved with Her Royal Highness the Princess, she has always contributed money and people, and she will not care about management.

Zeng Zuimo said while knocking melon seeds: "After the opening of two new underwear stores, there is a shortage of manpower, if you want to open a ready-to-wear store, you need more women who are good at female popularity, and I am afraid that I can't make up so much in the hook column." ”

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, there will be no shortage of manpower soon." ”

Near Kyoto, the new marriage law is mandatory, and in the next period of time, there will be many women over the age of thirteen and under the age of sixteen who stay at home and do nothing, which is also a headache for the imperial court.

"Then when Sister Ruoqing comes back, I'll discuss it with her." Zeng Zuimo said a word, then looked at Li Yi, and said, "I, I have something to ask you." ”

"What?" Li Yi looked back at her.

"You ......" Zeng Zuimo opened his mouth, thought about it, and finally didn't say anything, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's okay." ”

It is very impolite to talk halfway, especially for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Li Yi was not in a hurry to leave this time, looked at her and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, you go." Zeng Zuimmo waved his hand impatiently.

"Are you really okay?"

"It's fine."

"Then ......, then you let me grab a handful of melon seeds and leave, I want a creamy flavor."

……

……

Wangjia Village is a small village located only ten miles from Kyoto.

Although the location of Wangjia Village is outside the most prosperous capital of Jingguo, but there is no light in Kyoto, dozens of families in the village, guarding those thin fields at the head of the village to eat, the year is good, you can drink thin food every day, the situation is not good, the family has to tighten their belts and ask God to bless.

Wang Lao Er, an ordinary farmer in Wangjia Village, was squatting on the stones in the yard at this time, smoking dry tobacco while sighing.

"Daddy, it's time to eat." A little girl about ten years old, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and wearing an apron around her waist, came out of the dilapidated house, walked up to him, and said timidly.

"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat all day long, you can't get married, you know!" Seeing the third daughter, Wang Lao Er, he was angry and waved his hand impatiently.

When the little girl saw this, her body trembled, and she hurriedly retreated into the house.

"What is the court doing, isn't this asking for my old man's life!" Wang Lao Er coughed the smoke pot on the stone and said angrily.

The mother-in-law of the family was not angry, and gave birth to three daughters to him one after another, although he still had a strong idea of a son, but he never dared to give birth again, if he had another daughter, he would not be able to live.

Although it is a daughter, but it is also our own species, although there is no less beating and scolding on weekdays, but the tight days have passed for more than ten years, and they have been pulled up one by one, the eldest daughter is fourteen this year, and she has just told her about a family matter, and the second daughter is thirteen, and she has reached the age of marriage.

Thinking that the two daughters got married, there were two fewer mouths in the family, and there were two dowries from the two families, and the life could be better, but who would have thought that the eldest daughter would get married in a month, and the court suddenly ordered that women should not marry if they were less than sixteen, which delayed the two children all of a sudden, Wang Lao Er suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he couldn't live this day.

"The court of the dog's day will not let people live!" Wang Lao Er scolded hatefully, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out of the room and said, "You be quiet, if this is heard, you have to eat the board!" ”

It's okay not to say it, but when he talked about this matter, Wang Lao Er was even more annoyed, jumped down from the stone, and scolded: "What's the matter, they are allowed to do the thing that they have to give birth to a son without PY, and Lao Tzu is not allowed to say it, Lao Tzu just wants to say that the court of this dog day even cares ......about Lao Tzu marrying his daughter."

"Second Wang, who are you talking about?" As the voice came, an official in a soap coat walked in from outside.

"The second dog of this dog day, I don't owe me two pennies for a month, and I won't pay it back......" Wang Lao Er looked at the errand officer with a flattering face, and asked: "Lord Official, what kind of wind is blowing you here today......

The errand officer waved his hand, flipped through a booklet in his hand, and said straight to the point: "Wang Lao Er, your family Zhaodi and Yindi are both over thirteen, right?" ”

When Wang Lao Er heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his face changed immediately, and he said vigilantly: "Lord Guancha, my family recruits Di and Yindi, but they are all ...... who have made promises."

"I don't care if I don't have anyone, just after thirteen, by the way, your family stays ......"

Wang Lao Er looked frightened, "My family Liudi, my family Liudi is only ten years old, she, she is still a child!" ”

The official glanced at her and asked directly: "As mentioned above, if there is a woman in any family who is over thirteen and her sewing skills are not bad, she can go to work in the workshop, work for four hours a day, and the salary is ten yuan, will your family Zhaodi and Yindi go?" ”

"Don't go, don't go, don't go......" Wang Lao Er shook his head again and again, can you believe the nonsense of the official, and ten cents a day for four hours, Lao Tzu can't earn so much for eight hours a day, isn't he trying to deceive his daughter?

"Okay, then I'll make a note of it." The official waved his hand, turned and walked out.

Wang Lao Er was stunned when he heard this, so he left, and stopped persecuting himself?

In case he was scaring two words, he agreed!

"Dad, Dad......" A figure hurriedly ran in from outside, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl panted and said: "Dad, I heard, I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess's workshop is recruiting, ten yuan a day for the first three months, and fifteen yuan a day after three months!" ”

"Really?" Wang Lao Er asked with wide eyes.

"It's true!" The girl nodded again and again, and said, "It's all posted outside, and the official is now registering door-to-door, I heard that the number of places is limited this time, I just saw that the official mission has come, and my father has signed up for me and Yindi, right?" ”

Wang Lao Er was stunned again, and after coming back to his senses, he ran outside.

"Lord Guancha, don't go, I'm willing, I'm willing!"
