Husband in Another World

Chapter 67

"Shen Fulang, can I see Xiaomei? I know today is not the day for Huo Mu, but it's the first time she's not staying at home at night, so I'm a little worried." Jiang Wei's legs were lame, and he was walking slower than others. Because the family was poor, Erwen was reluctant to have no more money for the car, so he limped over from Linzhen. When he walked to Zhou's house, he was sweating profusely.

Jiang Shi never said anything about the family, Shen Mo and others naturally didn't know it, they just thought that they were newly married couples and couldn't part with each other.

"It's not easy for you to come and go from Linzhen. If I don't let you see me, I will let you two meet today. But you need to understand that rules are rules, and it's not an example."

Jiang Wei quickly thanked, Shen Mojin Embroidery girls work in the hall to invite people.

Although the Zhou family wanted to make chidori feather coats, the skirts were too expensive, and they didn't dare to use them directly for inexperienced embroidery girls, so they collected some of the eliminated feathers to make purses and feather fans. Feather fans are cumbersome to make, so first practice your hands with your wallet.

Each embroiderer only sends two purses to practice their hands. The purse with the big palm is used to embroider various patterns with small tail feathers. This is not only to practice craftsmanship, but also to practice eyesight. Most embroiderers choose to embroider simple patterns, but Jiang's wholeheartedly wants to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks, which is a great test of embroidery skills.

The mandarin duck is a very beautiful bird with colorful feathers. Every combination and excessive coloring needs to be handled with great care. Unlike simple embroidery stitching, feather filling is also required here.

In the early morning, it was the mandarin duck's black glazed eye, and Jiang Shi repeated the embroidery no less than five times. She doesn't give up until her eyes are so tired, although she is strict with herself, but more importantly, she wants to stand out among the ten embroidery girls, so that she can be the most important embroidery parts and get more rewards. many.

When Shen Mo called her name and someone looked for her outside, Jiang knew that Jiang Wei had come. In fact, she guessed last night that Jiang Wei would definitely come today.

Mrs. Jiang got up and thanked her, "Thank you Zhou Fulang for being accommodating. I will tell the boss to come and see me next time on the day of the holiday."

Shen Mo nodded and assigned Mrs. Ji to supervise her, mainly because he was afraid that Mrs. Jiang would take care of the Zhou family. Toba purse or purse drawing is passed out. These Jiang clans can understand, so they do not shy away from Mrs. Ji.

On the contrary, Jiang Wei was a little uncomfortable being supervised by others, but he didn't say anything else.

"You, did you sleep well last night?"

Jiang said: "Very good, although it is a common shop, the dormitory provided by the main house is clean and tidy, and each embroidery girl is also required to be clean and washed before going to bed, so There is no special smell, and I slept very well."

This was probably the longest and most meticulous and pleasant sentence Jiang's said to Jiang Wei after entering Jiang's house. , forgot words.

There is still work in the hall, the embroiderers are rushing to work, and Jiang's family doesn't chat with Jiang Wei much, wasting the master's time.

"Do you have anything else to do? If you don't have me, I will go back. It's very busy inside, and the embroiderers are rushing to work."

Jiang Wei subconsciously said: "No more."

"Then I'll go in."

Jiang shi turned around. After walking for most of the time, Jiang Wei reacted slowly and stopped Jiang's footsteps.

Mrs Jiang turned back and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I, I brought you some food, but I forgot to give it to you just now." Mrs Jiang's heart shuddered, and no one knew better than her what the current state of the Jiang family was. , not to mention the debts outside, just to say that the pots at home can't be opened. In the past, she drank watery rice soup and ate all the rotten leaves picked up from the market. When the water was scalded, it was a dish. But now Jiang Wei said that he brought her food, how could Jiang's heart not be warmed even if it was a stone.

She walked back with her eyes down and just walked to Jiang Wei's side, when Jiang Wei took out a palm-sized oil-paper bag from his arms, opened it, and inside was an adult man's two-fingered sweet potato and two babies' fist-sized potatoes.

Because of the presence of outsiders, Jiang Wei, a man, was very embarrassed and blushed.

"It's not a good thing, it's a bit small. When you're hungry, eat some pads, and I'll bring them to you next time."

Before Jiang Wei's legs were limping, he went around to work for people, and he experienced many problems. Family. But no matter what kind of host, the kind-hearted or strict, the two meals a day are thin, and the dishes are also cheap and cheap, even if they are full, everyone has a bowl of porridge. , once you drink it, it's gone. A sturdy man like Jiang Wei has a heavy workload, and a bowl of gruel is really not very hungry. Often in the afternoon, he has no energy to work. The host doesn't care about that, if you don't do it, you will be scolded and fined with deduction of wages.

From his own personal experience, Jiang Wei knew that it was not easy to work for the master's family, and he was afraid that Jiang's family would be too hungry to work in the afternoon, so he specially cooked it at home and brought it in his arms.

He didn't say it clearly, but how could Jiang Shi not understand what he meant.

Jiang Shi asked abruptly, "How many coppers do I have left for you?"

Jiang Wei waved his hands again and again, "Twenty-two, I didn't dare to move any of them, I didn't buy them with money, I went there yesterday. I helped people do some odd jobs at the market and gave me my wages."

Because of Jiang Wei's legs, no big family would ask him to work. But who would be willing to invite him if a small family were living in a tight family, and even if they were to hire someone with good legs at the price, they wouldn't want to use a cripple. Jiang Wei can only go to the market to see who needs help to lend a hand. There are those who have pity on him and feel that it is not easy for a man to be busy, so he will give one or two of these unsellable little potatoes and sweet potatoes as thanks.

This is how it came about.

The thing is not heavy, but it seems to have a thousand gold in the hand, as if a mountain is pressing in the heart.

Jiang Shi whispered: "Thank you, I don't need it in the future, the Zhou family's food is very good, three meals a day, except for the porridge at night, the other two meals are dry, even if you eat porridge at night, it is also very thick and has Cornmeal and steamed buns. Three meals are unlimited, you can eat enough. The dishes are even better, each meal has three dishes, one meat and two vegetarians, and soup. We ate pork on the first day of our visit yesterday, and each person had a full bowl It's enough."

"Really?" Jiang Wei didn't believe it, even the wealthy people in the town didn't have such a way to eat, let alone the guys who were hired by the master to eat.

Mrs. Jiang said: "It's true, I'm not lying to you."

Mrs. Ji also said, "It's really incredible, but my master and husband never treat the family workers badly. Just say my master's two factories in the countryside, the workers inside It's all this food. When your little lady has been in my house for a long time, you will know that there is a better treatment."

Looking at the food in Jiang's hand, Jiang Wei's face was so shy, as if it could be cooked. eggs.

Jiang Wei only felt ashamed, but he didn't regret coming here. At least he knew that Jiang's life was better here than at home, and he was relieved.

"Then, I'll leave."

"Wait." Jiang shi suddenly stopped him, "You wait for me outside, I'll go to Zhou Fulang's place, and I have something to tell you when I get back."

"Ah? Oh." Jiang Wei responded, but his mind was up and down, thinking wildly.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Jiang came to the main house and greeted Shen Mofushen.

"Zhou Fulang, I have an unkind request. I want to advance a coin or two, but my family can't open the pot. I still have problems with my legs and can't work, and my parents serve at home. I used to be able to sew at home. Make up for it, now that I'm out to work, they're going to eat the wind and live." Jiang Shi herself knew that this would leave a bad impression on the master's family, but she really had no choice. "I know this request is a bit too much. After all, I only work one day, but I am willing to write an IOU, and I will pay interest if I borrowed it. Please help me Zhou Fulang."

Shen Mo didn't know the Jiang family's situation, but He heard Zhao Cui's reaction that Jiang's work was good, and he was willing to work, and he had a good impression of her.

"These two silver coins are considered as advance by you, and there is no interest. It will be deducted when you issue a bill, but there is one thing you are not allowed to tell a third party, otherwise, don't say that I want you to pay back the money immediately, and I will also pay for this work. I won't do it for you."

Jiang hurriedly thanked: "I swear I will never say it, thank you Zhou Fulang."

A tael of silver is not a drop in the current Zhou family, but it is really life-saving silver in the Jiang family. .

Jiang Wei held a tael of silver in his hand, and a man almost cried.

"Go back. If you want to see me, just rush me to take a break. Don't come any other time. Don't embarrass the host."

"Yes, I understand." The iron gate was closed outside, and he left after a while.

After about touching a cup of tea, Jiang Wei came back again, this time with more than 20 oranges.

"Zhou Fulang, I won't go in. These are the oranges I bought for Xiaomei. Please take them in and tell her to share them with other embroidered girls and stewards." Jiang Wei said, reaching out and handing out one to Shen Mo , "Also please don't dislike it, eat one to quench your thirst."

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, thank you." I wondered if the Jiang family couldn't open the pot, why was he so generous, bought twenty oranges in one go, and invited all Xiu Niang to eat. However, he still took the orange and asked Mrs. Ji to send it in.

Shen Mo came to the front yard and was still thinking about it, so he told Zhou Jing smoothly.

"Oh, this Jiang Wei is a bit interesting."

Shen Mo was even more curious, "What's the point of this?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "This is all the little thought of us as men who care about the people in the family. How to say Well, being poor means being poor, and it's true that you can't eat, but I'm even more afraid that you will be wronged at home. Just like Mrs. Jiang, there is only one embroidered lady from Linzhen in our hall, and Mrs. Jiang is a newly married young lady. The woman is the youngest. Jiang Weiyue is afraid that the embroidery girls will form gangs and bully her as an outsider, so she wants to send some food to the embroidered girls. When everyone is not familiar with it, it is better to leave first, and naturally When you get close to Jiang, you won't be bullied."

Shen Mo suddenly realized that he thought that Jiang Wei was not a prodigal man, how could he do such a prodigal thing.

"This Jiang Wei is really interesting. It's not easy for a person to be willing to give up at this level. I look at him differently, but it's a pity for his legs."

Shen Mo sighed: "It's not." It's

not Zhou Jingshen Mo discriminates against the cripple, but in the dynasty, not to mention the cripple is a flawed appearance, and the imperial examination is hopeless. What a cripple can do is really restricted everywhere.

"However, I think it can be used. It's unrealistic to use it in a shop. Guests, especially ladies and gentlemen, will definitely have opinions, but we can ask him to do some chores." Zhou Jing said: "We don't have a suitable manager at the moment. You have to worry about the big and small things in the house, why don't you ask him to do some chores, and you can give him the work that doesn't require communication and is willing to use strength. Besides, there are many women in the family, and he is now disfigured , the girls in the family won't mess with him, and it's a double

-edged sword." Shen Mo said: "That's okay."

"However, I still have to inquire about his character first."

Jiang Wei's family background is innocent and easy to inquire . , I only asked a few neighbors, and his family's ancestors have been clear for generations, including his and Jiang's affairs.

On the third day, Zhou Jing personally found Jiang Wei and asked him to come to Zhou's house to work as a long-term worker. He was paid 20 yuan a day, which could be paid on a daily basis. There was only one point, and he needed to live in Zhou's house for a long time.

Although Jiang's father and mother are not in good health, they can usually cook and do laundry. For a time, the whole Jiang family was beaming, and they ate dishes that were not stewed with rotten leaves.
