Chapter 35 Hire someone to pick grapes

Suddenly, there were two more maids in the Lu family, which was much more lively, but it made Lv Xianger feel a little adaptable. There is nothing she can do. Her body is filled with a modern soul. In the face of two of her peers who are groveling, Lv Xianger is really uncomfortable.

It can be found that Lv Erniang and Lv Hongping's attitude, Lv Xianger felt a little fuss and tried to adapt to this 'evil old society'. Perhaps because of the two maids, Lu Xianger is more and more eager for more money. She doesn't want to sell herself as a slave. As the family's savings became less and less, Lv Xianger quickly put her plan to make wine on the agenda.

After breakfast, Lv Hong went to the school. Lv Erniang went back to the house to do needlework. The two little girls cleaned up the kitchen. Lv Xianger sat under the grape rack and looked at the opposite small winery and thought. This is the ripening season for grapes and the best time to make wine. If all the family members go up the mountain to pick it, I don't know how long it will take to pick it before filling the newly built wine cellar.

"It seems that there is only the acquisition of grapes." Lv Xianger thought of Zhao Xiu and Zou Yue in Qinghe Village and decided to let them make some money and hire the little women in Qinghe Village to go up the mountain to pick grapes. After more than three years of observation, Lv Xianger still felt that the grapes on the two mountains near Qinghe Village were the best, especially the mountain near the river.

With a new plan, Lv Xianger got up and prepared to go to the room to talk to Lv Erniang. But as soon as she turned around, she saw two maids standing at the kitchen door and twisting, as if they were coming over, and they were a little scared. Lv Xianger was very curious and said with a smile, "Zao'er, Xiaotao, what are you two doing?"

"Ah, little lady, no, nothing." The two were shocked by Lv Xianger's voice, named Zao'er, and some black little girl waved their hands repeatedly. The little girl named Taoer, with big eyes, was very anxious to look at Zao'er's behavior. Seeing that Lv Xianger was about to raise her feet, she summoned up her courage to walk to Lv Xianger and whispered, "Little lady, although the maidservant and Zaoer are only ten years old, they can do all kinds of work. I'm not afraid of fatigue and hardship. Please invite the little lady. Don't sell the two maidservants again.

"When did I say I would sell you again?" Seeing that the two little girl was about to cry, Lv Xianger quickly waved her hand and called them under the grape rack to ask carefully.

Before coming to the Lu family, Zaoer and Xiaotao had been sold to a family separately. The family that bought Zao'er is a scholarly family. After a period of time, he disliked Zao'er's rough and stupid, and sold her again. The family that bought Xiaotao is a big family. There are many people and things. Xiaotao was inexplicably charged and sold.

They came to the Lv family. Both of them liked the simple and kind Lv family very much. But after the two came, in addition to washing and cooking, they fed chickens and weeded the vegetable garden. There is a lot of idle time, which makes the two of them very uneasy. The two were afraid that the Lv family would think that they would eat for nothing and not work, and then sell them.

"What you two mean is that because you don't have work to do, are you afraid that you will be sold again by me and my mother?" Lv Xianger nodded like a chicken pecking rice. She couldn't laugh or cry, but she felt very sad at the same time. In this era, two extremes coexist. Those who are rich and powerful want to be richer and more powerful. The people at the lowest level only want to eat and wear warm clothes.

Jujube was sold to a large family as a girl because the children in the family had a bad harvest. Xiaotao was a refugee who fled from Jiangnan. Because his only relatives in the family died all the way, he could not sell himself as a slave and wanted to eat. And there are many people like Zaoer and Xiaotao. Lv Xianger, a weak woman, can't change anything at all. You can only make a little effort without being hurt.

"Zao'er, Xiaotao, you don't have to think too much. There is not much work to do now, but in a few days, you don't have to cry tiredly. Now both of you wipe the jars on the side and don't let there be a little water in it.

Lv Xianger saw that Zaoer and Xiaotao were very happy to work, so she shook her head and went into the house. When she raised her head, she saw Lv Erniang looking at her and smiling. Lv Xianger quickly ran to Lv Erniang's side and said, "Niang, what are you laughing at?"

"Mother is happy. I'm glad that our Xiang'er is kind-hearted." Lv Erniang was shaken by Lv Xianger and couldn't continue sewing. She had to put down the needle and thread, pull Lv Xianger to sit in front of her, and then continued to say, "Xiang'er, good heart is a good thing. But you will encounter a lot of things in the future. Don't be kind-hearted. Sometimes, your kindness may cause you trouble.

Listening to Lv Erniang's sigh, Lv Xianger was suddenly a little confused and didn't understand the meaning of Lv Erniang's sudden words. When Lv Erniang saw Lv Xianger's expression, she mistakenly thought that she didn't understand, so she lowered her head and continued to be busy. In her heart, she thought that she would teach Lv Xianger these things carefully in the future, so as not to suffer losses after Lv Xianger's marriage.

Lv Erniang quickly returned to normal. Lv Xianger thought that she remembered something sad, so she didn't ask. Instead, she said, "Mother, it's the best time for grapes to ripen. I want to take advantage of this time to make more wine."

"Then brew it." Speaking of her source of life, Lv Erniang raised her head again and said with some embarrassment, "We don't live in Qinghe Village anymore. I'm afraid it's not easy to pick these grapes."

Lv Xianger knew that Lv Erniang didn't want to go back to Qinghe Village at all. She immediately smiled and said, "Niang, we won't go to the mountain to pick grapes in person this year. Let's also go back to merchants and hire people to go up the mountain to pick grapes."

"Hire someone?" Lv Erniang looked at Lv Xianger doubtfully. But seeing Lv Xianger's more and more beautiful face and clear eyes, she quickly understood her heart, and she couldn't help smiling and said, "Now this fruit wine can't earn much money. If you hire someone to pick grapes, you will earn less."

Lv Erniang didn't have it anyway. Lv Xianger was secretly relieved and immediately said, "Niang, it's not that we don't make less money. It's the same for us to brew more and sell more. Moreover, we hire people from Qinghe Village to go up the mountain to pick grapes. They must miss the good of our Lu family and make those people regret it by the way.

"You, how does this little head grow? It's almost refined." Lv Erniang nodded Lv Xianger's head, smiled gently, and agreed with her idea.

After Lv Xianger ran out, Lv Erniang thought that it was also the harvest time. Farmers should be very busy. Those who can go up the mountain to pick grapes are those little ladies like Lv Xianger, Xiao Langjun. She was a little doubtful whether these half-year-old children could pick back good grapes. However, on the other hand, if you think about it again, picking grapes can make money. These children should be able to pay attention to it, and Lv Erniang lowered her head again.

Nowadays, Lv Hong has grown up very fast and can share a lot of burdens for Lv Erniang. And Lv Xianger is thinking more and more, and it seems that Lv Erniang doesn't have to worry about anything. Lv Erniang felt that this day seemed to be more and more comfortable, and she was happy to let the two children be independent.

Besides, with the consent of Lv Erniang, Lv Xianger ran out of the room and came to the side of Zaoer and Xiaotao. While watching them busy, she chatted with them. Lv Xianger wanted to hire people from Qinghe Village to go up the mountain to pick grapes, but she didn't know how much money she should pay. I just want to know from Zaoer and Xiaotao. Sure enough, from the chat, Lv Xianger not only knew more about the two girls, but also knew the information she wanted to know.

Turning around, Lv Xianger ran into the room in the inexplicable eyes of Zaoer and Xiaotao. After a simple calculation, Lv Xianger begged Lv Erniang to take the silver and go out for some copper money. Seeing that it was still early, Lv Erniang thought that she should also buy some meat to cook at noon, so she put down the needle and went out with silver.

As soon as Lv Erniang left, Song Yuan and his follower Xiaowu entered the yard of the Lv family. Lv Xianger immediately put down her mind and studied seriously from Song Yuan. In fact, Song Yuan is still very erudite, and he is also a literary and martial artist. Otherwise, he would not have been asked by Lv Tai to be Lv Xianger's Xixi.

Listening to Song Yuan's funny and clear explanation of the obscure sentences in the book, even Zaoer, Xiaotao and Song Yuan's follower Xiaowu listened with interest. Lv Xianger, an adult soul, is extremely intelligent in Song Yuan's eyes, but it is a pity that she is a daughter.

Lv Xianger just finished two neat words, and Lv Erniang and Lv Hong came back. Song Yuan saw that Lv Erniang gave a string of copper coins to Lv Xianger. It was very strange, but he didn't ask much. And Lv Hong, who came back with Lv Erniang, naturally knew Lv Xianger's plan. Seeing Song Yuan's doubts, he took the initiative to chat with him about making wine.

When Song Yuan heard that Lv Xianger was going to Qinghe Village to hire someone to pick grapes, Song Yuan understood what it meant. Thinking that if it hadn't been for him, Lv Erniang could not live in Qinghe Village, Lv Xianger would not have hired someone to pick grapes. Song Yuanli felt guilty again. Song Yuan, who had something on his mind, didn't want to stay for dinner. He found an excuse and left with Xiao Wu.

Song Yuan's departure surprised Lv Er Niang and Lv Xianger, so they aimed at Lv Hong. Lv Hong quickly waved his hand and said urgently, "I didn't say anything. I just told Mr. Song that Xiang'er wanted to hire someone to pick grapes and make wine."

Lv Erniang couldn't figure out the reason why Song was far away. She thought that he must have something to do before leaving. She continued to cook lunch with the careful help of Zaoer and Xiaotao. Because Lv Hong's school is not very far from the Lv family, Lv Hong comes back for lunch every day. Song Yuan usually has lunch at the Lv family. Lv Erniang cooks this meal in person every day. Since Zao'er and Xiaotao came to Lv's house, Lv Erniang did not change this habit.

After lunch, Lv Hong was ready to go to school. Finding that Lv Xianger was counting the copper coins, Lv Hong shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't count. I won't go to school tomorrow. I'll accompany you to Qinghe Village and visit the master by the way.

"That's what I think. Let my mother rest at home, and our brother and sister will go to Qinghe Village." Lv Xianger smiled at Lv Erniang and didn't want Lv Erniang to be looked down on by others at all.
