787.787: Laugh not what it used to be
"Miss, are you laughing?"
When we arrived in the south, the master and servant life were not as good as Shishi used to be famous prostitutes in brothels. She had no source of income. The adopted little girls were not old enough to work, but had to pay savings in the embroidery shop, so she naturally could not live as luxuriously as before.
In the past, what were the beads and silks on Shishi's heads and the body of silk?
Now I have turned over the luxury of the past, such as the thorn hairpin and skirt cloth, like an ordinary young woman, with the beauty between her eyebrows, and she can also get a glimpse of the style of a famous prostitute in the past.
Shishi knows about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is particularly good at piano skills, but she never teaches the little girls these things.
She taught the little girls to read and asked them to learn embroidery, hoping that they could marry and have children in the future and not fall into the dust again.
These little girls were saved by Shishi.
If Shishi is not saved, they will be sold into brothels by their relatives, and they will repeat the old path of Shishi after several years.
An embroidery shop can support such a mouth, thanks to Shishi's long-sleeved and good-looking dance, and can put down her figure and please the rich female guests. It's hateful that some people spread rumors behind their backs that Shishi is taking in so many little girls, and is cultivating thin horses.
Pooh!
Hongxiao is not worth it for her own lady.
If you really want to raise a thin horse, the life of the master and the servant will be better. Miss Shishi doesn't have to make careful calculations about living. Raising a thin horse is a profitable business.
Hongxiao's temper did not change when she reached the south, because other people's slander was even more sharp than before.
It was rare to see Shishi laugh so happily, and Hongxiao's voice couldn't help but soften.
"Hongxiao, I am [pencil novel www.qbxs.xyz] laughing naturally, and I can't stand the joy in my heart."
Shishi told Hongxiao the content of the emperor list, "Everyone's good days are coming."
Hongxiao doesn’t understand, and Shishi doesn’t expect her to understand.
It’s just that the assessment content of selecting female officials makes Shishi worry.
Shishi can teach the little girls in the embroidery shop to read, but cannot teach the Four Books and Five Classics. If you miss the opportunity next year, you don’t know how long it will take to select a female official again - she will teach herself, which will not work after all.
Shishi decided to invite a master to come back and enlighten her.
Unexpectedly, the slightly famous teacher in the city was unwilling to come, even if the shrewdness given by Shishi was generous enough. The gentlemen were afraid of rumors outside and did not want to slander themselves. Moreover, teaching a group of little girls the Four Books and Five Classics is a waste of their time, and it is impossible for the little girls to become famous in the imperial examination!
"To select female officials?"
A master told the truth, "The emperor list said that there is such a thing, but that is all the places prepared for noble girls. The powerful family sent their daughter to the palace to serve as a servant. Everyone knows what they want, so don't waste your energy!"
Even if a young lady in Suzhou and Hangzhou can pass the female official assessment, she is still a daughter in the official family. She has been aware of writing and writing since she was a child, rather than a group of little girls raised in the embroidery farm.
What can I compare with others? I have a huge difference in family background, but I can’t compare with my knowledge.
The palace maid who entered the palace to serve people was almost the same as a female official, and wanted to be a female official... The Master shook his head and felt that Shishi was just whimsical.
If it were the past, Shishi turned around and left.
But now she can't leave, and there is still a group of little girls behind her.
What the Master may have said was the truth. Shishi received the Master's kindness, but she did not agree with the Master's judgment.
"Sir, I have heard that people conquer nature and do not even try. How could I know that no one in my family can do it? Why can't a noble son be produced by a poor family? It takes only one or two years to do good deeds, so I will be able to make them feel good."
Shishi has blessed her body and worships each other sincerely.
What impressed the Master was whether Shishi's stubbornness or the sincerity of hiring with money, the Master was finally invited back to the embroidery shop by Shishi.
People outside said that Shishi was raising a thin horse. When the Master arrived, he found that there were a group of girls living in the backyard of the embroidery shop. The youngest was only a few years old, but the older one was fourteen or fifteen years old. He had finished learning all the thousands of characters. Some of these young ladies had a lively personality, some were shy and introverted, but they were not frivolous.
Everyone is upright and has nothing to do with the skinny horses every day. It can be seen that outsiders are just talking nonsense about the accusations against the embroidery shop.
That's right.
If the owner of the embroidery shop is raising a thin horse, and those rich female guests have to take a detour when passing by the embroidery shop, how could they come to visit the business?
The rumors about the embroidery shop are more slandered by their peers.
The owner of the embroidery shop is a young woman. She has no foundation in the local area and is not that easy to do business.
With the appearance of this young woman, no matter what her origin, even if she is born in a lowly family, she would not have had to live such a hard time if she was willing to commit herself to a rich businessman's concubine... This woman chose a path that was more difficult than serving her, and the Master admired Shishi a little bit.
Forget it.
Shu Xiu also took it. Whether it was teaching male students or a group of female students, they did their best. Whether the owner of the embroidery farm can get what he wants depends on whether the group of female students can understand their hard work, whether they work hard enough, and whether they have the talent to study!
The Master was willing to teach knowledge seriously, and Shishi was very happy. Although Hongxiao did not understand too profound things, when Shishi was happy, Hongxiao was happy.
Alas, the Master has invited me, just learn it.
Although it costs a little more, Hongxiao is not easy to care about.
She came to the south with her own lady, who wanted to separate from her past life and do something good, so that she would not take the risk of saving them.
I heard that Lord Cheng is still an official in the northwest.
Hongxiao saw Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin coming out and going together more than once. Xiao Yunting invited Shishi to play the piano, and Roujia asked Shishi to play the piano. Both times Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin walked together, which shows how deep the relationship between the two was.
Meng Huaijin ascended the throne, but Cheng Qing could not stay in the northwest, but did not do that.
This choice is indeed very consistent with Lord Cheng's personality.
Hongxiao believes that there are good officials in the world, but the number is very small, and Cheng Qing is one of them.
In fact, Hongxiao and Shishi no longer have to hide. After all, Roujia, who wants their lives, is already in trouble. Now Roujia is a depressed Princess Lu in Shandong, and she has no time to find trouble for Shishi and Hongxiao.
But neither the master nor the servant mentioned the return to Beijing.
They neither want to go back to the capital nor to go back to Nanyi.
While complaining about the locals' verbal and talkative, Hongxiao was sorry that Shishi's life was not as comfortable as before, but she never mentioned leaving.
Here, no one knows the past of the master and servant. No matter how hard it is to open the embroidery shop, they are all relying on their hands and feet to support themselves, and there is a completely different feeling than relying on men to live.
Hongxiao can't tell the truth, but she likes her current life very much.
Lang Lang's reading sound came from the backyard of the embroidery shop.
Hongxiao stood at the door and listened for a while, feeling that every little girl was still serious.
It’s so good that it’s not in vain that she and the lady work hard to make money by selling embroidery.
A female guest walked into the embroidery shop surrounded by several maids. Hongxiao piled up her face and greeted her with a smile: "Madam, what do you want to see?"
To do good things, you have to have money.
All money is earned from the guests. Hongxiao used to smile at the men who came to the brothel, but now she smiled at the female guests who came to the embroidery shop.
