Chapter 021 Sewing Sister-in-law

Haiman went to find Master Lin and told him that Yuzhiyuan was in space and wanted to hire a reliable person to take care of him. Master Lin actually agreed without even thinking about it. She asked her to invite someone and report it to the housekeeper in the future.

Qi Wenhao helped Haiman invite a woman in her thirties. Her husband died early. There is a mother-in-law and a 11-two-year-old son in the family. She usually lives by washing and sewing people, and from time to time can also receive scattered workers from the embroidery school. The key to doing the embroidery school is to be fast. Over time, you can practice flying needles and threading. Her husband's surname is Qu, and she is called her sister-in-law.

Haiman saw that although his sister-in-law Qu was wearing a coarse cloth dress, she was neat and neat and looked like a shrewd and capable person. He was very satisfied.

"Sister Qu, I asked you not to do any heavy work, just because I like your sewing skills. However, when you come out of Yuzhiyuan, you just say that you are a rough subordinate. The wages are calculated according to the work, but don't worry, I won't treat you badly. Of course, I don't need you to sign the deed of sale. You can leave whenever you want. You are also a family. You can stay here when you have a job. You can go home and take care of it when you don't have a job. It depends on what you mean!" Hyman told his sister-in-law about his rules, "If you think it's okay, stay. If not, you can leave!"

The parents-in-law are old, with three diseases and five disasters, and the children have to go to school. They are spending more and more money. The money earned by working as a part-time job alone is no longer enough. Sister Qu made a great determination to follow Qi Wenhao to Linfu. She was ready to sign the deed of sale in order to earn a stable income. Hearing Hyman's words, she was uncertain. Of course, she couldn't ask for such a semi-free body, but the pay has not been determined yet. What's the difference from doing a freelance work?

After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Second young lady, how much can I get a month? I need to know..."

Mei Xinger is also a subordinate. Of course, she understood what Mrs. Qu was thinking, so she interrupted with a smile and said, "Sister Qu, don't worry. Our second young grandma is generous and can't treat you well. Last time I helped the second young lady work for three days, and I got ten taels of silver, which is much more than the monthly money issued by the house!"

"Ten...ten taels?" Mrs. Qu opened her mouth in disbelief, "So many?"

"Sister Qu, you also know who the Lin family is, and you won't pay for that little money." Seeing that she didn't promise or promise, Qi Wenhao said with a smile, "My cousin-in-law is very considerate of servants. You can only take advantage of her here and won't suffer losses."

Hyman was already moved to see her appearance and did not urge her to speak by herself.

"I will do it." Mrs. Qu thought carefully for a long time and nodded.

With Mrs. Qu, the speed of making things is indeed much faster. Haiman has also been liberated from the needle and thread. He only cares about the selection, design, tailoring and stitching of materials to give it to Mrs. Qu, and the errands will be handed over to Mei Xinger. Sometimes Lin Ziqin will also come to help.

It took two days to make a lot of things this time. In addition to the previous things, Hyman still tried to make a few children's clothes. Naturally, it was all girls' clothes made of silk cloth and light gauze, neutralizing ancient and modern styles, and asked Xiaoyao to come and try it on. Not surprisingly, it was very beautiful. Xiaoyao likes it very much. As a reward for trying on it, she left a set.

Qi Wenhao took these things out and brought back 180 taels of silver in less than half a day. Excluding the cost of materials, I made a net profit of 100 taels. Hyman calculated according to the workload. He and Qi Wenhao each took 30 taels and gave them 10 taels to Lin Ziqin, and the rest 15 taels each for Mei Xinger and Qu's sister-in-law.

Mei Xinger got several dividends and got used to it. Although she was very happy, she was also poor. Mrs. Qu is different. She has accumulated ten taels of silver for a year. In the past two days, she has earned fifteen taels. When she took over the silver, her hands trembled with excitement and made several bows to Haiman several times in a row.

"No matter how you look at it, you give us too much money, so it will be very slow to make money!" Qi Wenhao took out ten taels of the 30 taels of silver he got, and returned the remaining 20 taels to Haiman. "What you are making now are all ready-made materials, gifts received at the time of marriage, and seasonal clothes allocated by the house. What should I do if I run out of these materials? With your personality, you will definitely not ask your uncle what you want to buy, right? You have to save more money!"

It's not that Hyman hasn't considered this problem. She has her own ideas. If she wants others to work hard, she must first let others taste the benefits. However, Qi Wenhao is right. She used good fabrics before. When she calculated the cost of materials, she deliberately calculated it at a price that ordinary rich families could afford. If she purchased it herself, it would definitely be more than this price. The children's clothes she made were bought by large families, and ordinary children can't afford to wear them. In the future, if you want to develop in clothing, I'm afraid you will also have to face those rich people. The convenience of fabrics must not be bad, that is to say, a large amount of money is needed.

But before this, you have to find your own place to settle down.

"How much does it cost to buy a house?" She asked.

Her topic changed so fast that Qi Wenhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

"It doesn't need to be too big. It's okay to have a single courtyard. It's better to bring a pavement to facilitate business in the future!"

"Well, the slightly better location will be at least five or six taels!" Qi Wenhao thought for a moment and said.

Hyman calculated and saved more than 80 taels of money to buy materials. It should not be difficult to earn money to buy a house. There are still 300 taels of red envelopes for the bride on the day of the tea, and it is almost enough to open a shop to buy things. With confidence, I can't help but feel better.

"Let's stay here for dinner today. I'll cook some good dishes later!" She retained Qi Wenhao.

Qi Wenhao smiled brightly, "Okay! I didn't expect you to be able to cook. It's a blessing today!"

Haman smiled and did not answer. She dares not boast. She has lived alone for many years, and her ability to survive is absolutely not bad, at least she can eat well and dress well.

Mei Xinger took her sister-in-law to the big kitchen to get some materials, and she rolled up her sleeves and went into the small kitchen. An hour later, a table of rich food was served and invited everyone to dinner.

Lin Ziqin didn't do anything, but Mei Xinger and her sister-in-lawqu refused to say anything. Sister-in-law Qu is hindering her identity as a subordinate. Mei Xinger and Haiman have been used to it for so long. She refused to serve because of Qi Wenhao. After all, there is a difference between men and women, and eating at a table is a hindrance to etiquette.

"I don't have so many rules here. Don't think about it. Eat it!" Hyman pulled them into the seat.

Haiman doesn't care anymore, and Mei Xinger doesn't care about anything. Sister-in-law Qu was still a little formal at first, but when she saw that Haiman, Lin Ziqin and Qi Wenhao were all friendly and rarely had such delicious food, she slowly let go and laughed with everyone from time to time.

"Cousin, I'll go with you. You can take me back to Qinlanyuan!" After dinner, Lin Ziqin said to Qi Wenhao with a smile.

Qi Wenhao poked her forehead with a smile, "Qinlan Courtyard is far away from my Luyang Courtyard. Where did I go?"

"Never mind, I didn't bring Lanju and Xiangzhu, and I didn't dare to go back!" Lan Ju and Xiang Zhu are Lin Ziqin's personal maids.

"Miss, won't you sleep with the second young lady tonight?" Mei Xinger couldn't help asking curiously.

Lin Ziqin smiled mischievly, "Do you always leave some time for your second sister-in-law to think about things? How embarrassing would it be if I heard her dreaming and speaking her heart at night?"

"I think you don't want me to hear what's on your mind, right?" Hyman laughed and teased her, "I don't have anyone in my heart. What do you want?"

The talker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Qi Wenhao was a little disappointed when he heard this, and Lin Ziqin blushed unexpectedly, "Second sister-in-law, you are the worst. Who has a good pet?"

"Okay, I won't tease you. It's getting late. Go back quickly!" Hyman laughed.

Qi Wenhao nodded to her and took Lin Ziqin out of the Jade Academy. Mei Xinger knew that Haiman had the habit of bathing every day, so she went to the kitchen with her sister-in-law Qu to prepare bath water, and Haiman returned to her room.

"Hmm?" Entering the door and holding the lamp, she frowned suspiciously. The door of the cabinet was half open. She remembered to close it well before going out. I couldn't help but be shocked. Is it a thief? He hurriedly raised the candle and scanned it vigilantly. This bedroom is not very big, and you can see everything behind the screen. She held her breath and boldly moved to the side of the screen to let the light of the candle shine. There was a bathtub in it, and there was nothing else.

She relaxed and remembered something. She hurried to open the cabinet, touched the pile of clothes on the lower floor, touched an iron box, and opened it, and the silver was all there. Fortunately, this is her capital to explore the future.

Just as she wanted to laugh at her nervousness, she found that the neat clothes in the upper layers were messy...

It's not that she is nervous. Someone did come to her room and rumm over her things.

"Mei Xing'er, Sister-in-law Qu!" She hurried to the door and shouted.

Mei Xinger and Mrs. Qu rushed out of the small kitchen when they heard the cry, "Second young lady, what's wrong? What's going on?"

"Someone has entered my house, please come and help me!" She lowered her voice and said.

Mei Xinger is also a little girl. She heard that someone subconsciously hugged Hyman's arm and refused to let go. After all, Sister-in-Qu experienced a lot and was bold. She picked up a wooden stick by the door, took the candle in Haiman's hand, and carefully checked the room without seeing half a figure.

"Second young lady, are you wrong?" Sister Qu checked unsuccess, put the candle back on the table, looked at Hyman and asked, "How do you know that someone has entered this room?"

"I tidy up the house every day when I get up. I know best how to arrange things." Hyman said his doubts, "When I entered the door just now, I found that the cabinet was half open and the clothes inside were also messed up. Someone must have been here..."

Mei Xing'er's eyes flashed, "Second young lady, that's probably made by me..."
