The He family bought three maids, and the population suddenly seemed large.
Fortunately, the house at home is spacious.
The third girl lives in the west wing.
There are three rooms in the west wing.
The third girl lives in the north room.
A small hall is made in the middle.
Some sundries are placed in the south room.
Give peas and wheat a place to live.
He Zijin now lives in a separate room with He Lao Niang.
He Lao Niang lives in the main house, and the east wing is given to Aunt Yu.
He Zijin lives in the west room of the main house, and the west wing has been turned into a study and hand-knitting room for her.
When Wanzi arrived, he arranged to stay in the same room as Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu inevitably told the three maids some rules at home, and if she could serve the girl well and do more work if she had the vision.
When these three people first arrived at He's house, they were all wearing the same set of clothes.
Aunt Yu found a change of clothes for each of them and told them to keep them themselves.
But in the evening, He Gong heard from Shen that the three maids had spent eighteen taels, and said, "This Yapa is actually a real person."
"Except that Wandou is older and can work, Wanzimai is only nine years old, and her appearance is not outstanding.
Her price is considered fair."
If you choose the gentle and handsome ones, I'm afraid it won't be the price.
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "Both girls in our family are caring people.
It's not that our family can't afford a good-looking maid, it's just that, as the saying goes, buying a maid is for working.
She looks good, or she's polite.
Wen, afraid She has a high spirit, which is not suitable for our small family.
Ah Lie knows a good-looking girl, so luckily I don't ask him to choose."
Shen decided that even if she buys maids in the future, she can't ask men to choose.
No.
He Gong smiled, "Ah Lie is still young."
"You know what looks good and bad at such a young age."
Shen also found it funny.
He Gonghu said, "The marriage of the third girl has been decided.
If you want me to tell you, you should find a time to talk to Aunt Li.
The dowry of the third girl needs to be prepared, and other things are easy to say.
We can take care of the furniture purchase, and we can get three needles and threads."
The girl came by herself.
Besides, she couldn’t.
You can go out to work as an accountant after you get married.
The family tradition is not like this."
He Gong himself is not the kind of person who likes his wife to work outside.
"Let's arrange things ourselves first.
If this comes from the parents' mouth.
It wouldn’t be good if I said it.”
"Aunt Li's son came over to discuss with mother.
Let the three girls work until the end of the year so that she can dispatch more manpower."
Shen said, "I have already told Awen."

He Gong nodded, "It would be nice to have a chapter."
Shen smiled, "A few years ago, Sister Kang and her mother gave me a piece of fine red material and asked me to make clothes for Zijin.
The material was very good.
Brother Xin was in the brocade business.
I heard from Sister Kang and her mother that it is still a tribute.
I am not willing to give it to Zijin.
I have never seen such a good thing in these years.
Let the two girls take half of it and make it into wedding clothes. " He Gong naturally said yes, took Shen's hand and smiled, "When you said that, I thought of our Zijin.
Even though we are still young, in the future, we will have to talk to the third girl when we decide to get married.
Just like this, in our county, divorce It’s close and it’s easy to travel.
If you want to go far away, I can’t agree to it, no matter how nice you are.”
"That's the truth."
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "You said, I always feel as if Zijin was a child yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, the child has grown up.
When she was a child, I looked forward to growing up quickly every day.
Now, Now that my son is older, I hope he will grow up slower.”
The couple talked about their children and took a rest late at night.
Although the third girl, He Zijin, had her own maid, she just had to go to the embroidery workshop every day to work as a clerk in the accounting room.
It was inconvenient to take her with her for a while, so she asked the older girl Goudou to go with her to the embroidery workshop every day and go to the embroidery workshop in the evening.
Go to the embroidery workshop to pick her up and take her home.
I asked Wan Dou and Wheat to do the work at home, while Wan Zi was given to Shen by He Zijin.
He said, "Wan Zi has taken care of the children at home.
Mom, the day you gave birth is the same as Sister Cui's.
Then ask Wanzi to help you."
Wanzi is younger, and in this world, He Zijin doesn't care about child labor.
Even she herself has been doing needlework since she was a child.
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "That's good."
Cui'er's body gradually sank, and Mrs.
Shen stopped calling her.
Although the meatball is small, Mrs.
Shen thought it would be best to check the character of the meatball for her daughter first.
After buying the maid, He Zijin went to Chaoyun Taoist Priest to copy books for a few days, and it was the Ghost Festival.
Since Shen Su was not at home, Mrs.
Shen thought about her ancestors on her parents' side.
Although she could ask her clan members to worship them on their behalf, she was afraid that the clansmen would not be dedicated enough, so she talked to He Gong.
He Gong said, "You prepare some incense.
I will take Xiao Fuzi to offer sacrifices and see if the ancestors' graves are in good condition.
If there is anything that needs to be cleaned up, I will take care of it together."
Shen nodded, "That's good."
He Gong spoke to He Lao Niang again.
He Lao Niang thought for a moment and sighed, "That makes sense.
Asu is an official outside and he doesn't have any brothers, and he doesn't have many uncles nearby.
Just go.
Let’s take a look.”

Come on, Mr.
Shen.
The family was also sparsely populated, so Mrs.
He said to Mrs.
Shen, "Hurry and prepare the paper strings for the incense candles, and some incense, and ask Ah Lie's father Thirteenth to go over and offer sacrifices."
The fifteenth day is the official day, so sacrifices are necessary.
From my ancestors.
Moreover, if you visit the graves to worship ancestors during the Ghost Festival, it’s okay to do it for two days in the morning, but it’s not good if you do it later.
Mrs.
Shen said hurriedly, "I asked Xiao Fuzi to prepare everything, including everything for our own use."
Madam He nodded and gave He Gong a few more words.
The Hungry Ghost Festival is a day to visit graves and pay homage, and even schools have a two-day holiday.
After He Gong went to the Shen family grave to offer sacrifices once, it was time to offer sacrifices to his ancestors.
The He family eats dumplings during the Ghost Festival, not because it is a custom in Bishui County, but mainly because it is said that Grandfather He, who died young, loved this dumpling when he was alive.
Therefore, during the Hungry Ghost Festival, families will bring some dumplings to the graves to worship, so that the grandfather underground can have a taste of the family’s food.
The women were making dumplings at home.
Seeing that the time was almost the same, Mrs.
He asked Mrs.
Zhou to cook a pot first, and asked He Gong, Ah Lie and Xiao Fuzi to eat first.
Because they had to rush to visit the grave, they ate early.
Mrs.
He was rubbing the paper money ingots she bought in the corridor and murmuring, "Give this old man some more money to burn.
If you need anything, just buy it with your silver."
Mrs.
Shen crushed the stacks of paper money aside.
He Zijin and the third girl picked up a bowl of dumplings and some fresh and dried fruits and put them in a food box.
They were going to be used to make incense.
He Zijin said, " There must be many rich people in the underworld.
"There are many kinds of paper money shops.
In addition to paper money and ingots, there are also all kinds of Netherworld banknotes, Netherland land deeds, etc., which are made just like the real ones.
The He family usually lives a frugal life, and the boss has always been generous.
He bought a lot of things to burn for his ancestors.
Madam He corrected her, "It's a rich man."
He Lao Niang said again, "Then someone has to burn money to make money.
Those who have no one to burn money will be poor underground."
After speaking, He Lao Niang greeted He Gong and said, "I'll talk to you later.
"Daddy said, ask him to bless your wife to have another baby," he said to He Lie, "Give your grandfather a few more bites and talk to your grandfather about how you want a little brother."
He Gong and He Lie's father and son suddenly had black lines all over their heads and were under great pressure.
He Zijin complained, "My grandfather did not send his son to Guanyin."
He Lao Niang scolded, "I know you are a very ignorant girl.
Our family has good luck.
It is your grandfather who protects us underground."
A Nian was afraid that the old man would be greedy, so he asked him in his stomach, "Would you like to burn some incense and candles to eat too?"
Old Ghost: Actually, it is a fallacy to say that ghosts eat incense and candles.
The personal experience of the old ghost.

All in all, the Hungry Ghost Festival was a lively one.
After the Ghost Festival, those who should go to school and those who should go up the mountain, He Zijin continued to copy books from Taoist Chao Yun.
Chao Yun saw that her quill pen was very efficient and asked a few questions with interest. .
He Zijin has always had a good eye, so he brought a set to Taoist Chaoyun today.
Taoist priest Chaoyun held it in his hand and played with it, saying, "This one is also interesting."
He Zijin, "Write quickly."
Taoist Master Chao Yun nodded, "That's true."
He recalled He Zijin's pen-holding posture and learned it once.
He felt it was not cheap and asked, "You did it yourself?"
"Yeah."
The autumn colors in the mountains are just right.
There is a shallow reed basket on the table.
There are more than a dozen freshly picked lotus pods in it.
On the side is a celadon lamp with half a newly peeled lotus pod.
He Zijin smiled, "On the way here, I saw a young novice from Furong Temple picking lotus pods."
Taoist Chaoyun put away the quill pen and smiled, "It was a gift from the great monk Furong."
He asked, "How was this pen made?"
He Zijin took a lotus pod and peeled it off, and told Taoist Chaoyun how to make the quill.
Taoist priest Chaoyun said, "This is also novel.
Someone would actually think of using goose feathers as a pen."
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world."
He Zijin tasted a few lotus seeds and praised, "This fresh taste can only be found in freshly peeled lotus seeds."
"You can make a soup at noon."
Taoist priest Chaoyun poured a cup of tea for He Zijin.
He Zijin hurriedly took it with both hands and took a sip, his facial features wrinkled up in pain.
Taoist Master Chao Yun smiled, with an indescribable narrowness on his face.
"Lotus core tea can clear away the fire in the heart and calm down the fire in the liver."
He Zijin hurriedly went to find some water, thinking to wash away the bitter taste in his mouth.
Taoist priest Chaoyun pointed to another purple clay pot.
He Zijin poured three incense tablets in a row, and then he felt that the bitter taste in his mouth was gone, and said, "I'm not angry."
I am angry.
Is it Taoist Chaoyun?
On the Hungry Ghost Festival, the busiest thing is the religious place.
Chaoyun Temple is a famous temple in Sanxiang and Wuli.
Taoist Chaoyun was so busy that he had two big blisters on the corner of his mouth, which is really damaging.
His appearance is like a fairy.
"It would be a pity not to taste the fresh lotus core."
Taoist priest Chaoyun regained his elder's solemn expression, a look that couldn't be more reliable, and asked He Zijin, "Which book should I copy today?"
He Zijin said, "Miscellaneous Notes on Xiyuan."
Taoist Chao Yun smiled, "You prefer miscellaneous notes."
Seeing Taoist Priest Chaoyun looking at her, He Zijin said, "Miscellaneous notes are interesting, things like scriptures."
Of course, when talking about scriptures in this era, it does not refer to the scriptures recited by monks, but some Confucian classics, which are what the imperial examination tests. .
He Zijin said, "The scriptures are extremely boring.
I doubt that any normal person would like them.
Even my father, who is preparing to test for fame, only reads them for the sake of fame.

My father also likes to read miscellaneous notes and occasionally some history books. .
There is no need to read the history books in depth, just read them casually.
Just read it.
As for poems and poems, I can't write poems and lyrics.
It's different.
Only by reading miscellaneous notes can you see the meaning.
These days, even if you want to be famous, you have to go to the classics and history.
Let's go.
If there are any wealthy people out there, just print some of your own.
It’s not like there are no collections of poems, but writing miscellaneous notes may be driven by love, or the essays may be recorded in books by chance, so I think the meaning can only be understood by reading the miscellaneous notes.
A piece of grass, but I can also write clearly, this flower and this grass are good It's not like those big books where the public is right and the mother-in-law is right.
Needless to say, it's just an Analects of Confucius.
Over the past thousands of years, so many people have commented on it.
When the saint wrote the book, he didn’t have this many meanings.”
Taoist priest Chaoyun raised his palms and said with a smile, "It's really incredible.
You, a little girl like you, dare to comment on the classics and history.
Even Sage Confucius dared to say it in your mouth."
He looked up and down at He Zijin.
At first glance, I felt strange, "Where do you get such arrogance from?"
He Zijin was puzzled, "What kind of arrogance is this?
I'll just say what I think in my heart."
She felt Taoist Chao Yun was teasing her and said with a smile, "I have been with the master for a long time, so I am outspoken.
Furthermore, What we serve is the incense of the Three Pure Immortals.
We are members of the Taoist family.
Let’s talk about what happened to Sage Kong.”
Taoist Master Chaoyun smiled slightly, ignored He Zijin's cunning words, waved his hand and said, "Go find a book and copy it yourself."
He Zijin had a sharp tool like a quill pen and was quite efficient in copying books.
However, she was sometimes puzzled.
If Taoist Master Chao Yun was around, he would have to write and ask for advice.
For example, although what He Zijin copied today was miscellaneous notes , but the content of the miscellaneous notes is quite extensive. , and when it comes to food, He Zijin couldn't help but ask, "This book says that there is a unique kind of mushroom in the Western Manchus, which grows on the grassland.
It is so fragrant that you can smell the fragrance through ten layers of cloth bags."
Son.
Master, is this true?"
"It's true."
Chaoyun Taoist priest replied.
"Is it possible that it is more fragrant than the pine mushrooms here?"
When it comes to mushrooms, He Zijin's favorite is the pine mushrooms in the pine forests on the mountain.
This kind of natural, pure green mushrooms that grow in the pine forests, especially When it is stewed with the pullets, the rich aroma makes He Zijin's mouth water as soon as he thinks about it.
"I eat pine mushrooms several times every year.
I have never seen mushrooms like this from the Western Barbarians, so it's hard to compare them.
Moreover, such a delicious thing must be very expensive."
He Zijin sighed.
Taoist Chao Yun picked up a young lotus seed from the plate, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and said softly, "Since the previous dynasty, there have been wars with the Western Barbarians, and trade has been intermittent.
This kind of good thing is not good.
It’s common.

Unless it’s a border town near Xiningguan, because it’s close to the Western Barbarians, there may be some food.”
"The book says that there is a hazel mushroom in the north that grows under hazelnut trees.
We also have hazelnut trees here.
Why haven't I seen a hazel mushroom?"
Taoist priest Chaoyun said, "Oranges grow as tangerines in Huainan, and as oranges in northern Huaibei.
The earth's atmosphere is different, and the things that grow are naturally different.
Hazel mushrooms are common in Liaodong.
They don't look big.
It looks great but tastes great.”
"It's a pity, it's said that fried hazelnut mushrooms and pumpkins are a rare delicacy."
"If it is fried with pumpkin, fresh hazelnut mushrooms are needed.
Dried ones are more suitable for making stews and the like."
He Zijin talked about delicious food.
There are more than ten kinds of mushrooms in the southeast and northwest.
It can be seen that the author of this Xiyuan Miscellaneous Notes is really a well-informed gourmet, and He Zijin is also a person who has experience in cooking. , so I copied a few lines and had to discuss it with Taoist Master Chaoyun, so that before noon, my stomach started growling.
Taoist Chaoyun asked, "Are you hungry?"
He Zijin was very young in her previous life and had a very open-minded temperament, but sometimes she was very concerned about face.
Even if her stomach growled, she would still pretend to be fine, "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry."
Taoist priest Chaoyun smiled and said with elegance in his voice, "Well, I'm not hungry, so let's wait a little longer.
The yellow chicken is fat, and I have some hazelnut mushrooms here, so why not cook a hazelnut mushroom stewed chicken?
It just takes a little longer.”
In fact, it doesn’t take too long to make hazelnut mushroom stewed chicken.
However, Taoist priest Chaoyun is very particular and must stew over low heat.
After stewing it for an hour, it is ready.
When the little Taoist priest came to tell him that the meal was good, He Zijin was almost fainting from hunger and had no strength to write.
The Taoist priest Chao Yun took her to have a meal with all his heart.
He Zijin's stomach growled like a drum a hundred and twenty times, so he had to eat two bowls of rice without shame.
Taoist priest Chaoyun slowly drank a bowl of green vegetable soup and said, "It's a pity that this chicken is a little too fat.
If it is a rooster that has just grown for three months, it will be the most tender.
Stew it with the hazel mushrooms It’s delicious.”
"This is quite good."
He Zijin filled his stomach and was able to talk leisurely.
He filled a bowl of vegetable soup and drank it slowly and happily, saying, "I am perfect in everything, and I am always happy when I am content."
This chicken In fact, it's not old, it's a half-year-old rooster at most.
The stewed chicken is soft but not rotten, and it has the flavor of hazelnut mushrooms, which is very delicious.
Taoist priest Chaoyun saw that He Zijin had eaten two bowls of rice and drank two bowls of soup.
He couldn't help but admired, "Zijin is really a strange person with such a good appetite."
After getting to know each other well, He Zijin came to know some of Taoist Chao Yun's temperament.
For example, he was very particular about his daily life, and he didn't speak directly when he had something to say.
It's obvious that she eats a lot, but He Zijin is not just a mortal who can come and go with Taoist Chaoyun so often.
She said without shame, "I climb the mountain here every day and walk this long way in the morning.
It's really rare and weird to say that you eat too much.
You can't be considered a strange person, but it's true that you are magnanimous."
Taoist priest Chao Yun laughed and said, "If you can beat a drum in your belly, you are certainly magnanimous."
He Zijin: Strangely, this old Taoist monk is a monk.

With his bad mouth, even the gods can't bear it.
Only when he can find a wife can he become a ghost.
If he can't find a wife, it's better to be a bachelor than to be a bachelor.
He Zijin secretly slandered Taoist Chao Yun, and Fang calmed down and smiled shamelessly, "It's easy to talk about."
Taoist Chao Yun smiled. gd1806102:
