Chapter 11 Monthly Examples

Because Li Xiuniang and Chen Qingya met Lin’s mother’s request, they allowed them to learn to read with Ding Jingzhu.

Seeing that they finally caught up with Ding Jingzhu's progress, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After studying for a day, the two found it was too difficult to read.

Lin’s mother can only say the same word three times, and the two of them can’t remember it in such a short time.

Even if I write it down, I will forget it in a short while.

Lin’s teaching progress is very fast. He teaches dozens of new words every day, and he never can review what he says. The two of them learn to scratch their heads.

Because of serving the night watch and following the trouble, Lin's mother had already established her majesty, and Li Xiuniang and Chen Qingya did not dare to ask about the knowledge that Lin's mother had already taught.

I can only ask Ding Jingzhu, who has always been the best among the three, every night after getting off the wrong side.

The two of them had no choice but to open a small stove for them, broke a bamboo branch on the green bamboo next to the yard, and wrote and painted on the ground.

This matter can naturally be hidden from Gu Dong's eyes. She has always been concerned about the three little maids, but Ding Jingzhu didn't expect that Mother Lin would know it.

The next day, he took the exam for Ding Jingzhu and found that Ding Jingzhu did remember it firmly and accurately, so he praised Ding Jingzhu.

Ding Jingzhu found that since then, Lin’s mother has been kinder to her and would give herself one or two bowls of dishes from time to time.

Learning characters is not something that can be achieved overnight. Every time it is the turn of keeping Mother Lin, Mother Lin will deliberately train Ding Jingzhu.

At the beginning, I learned the rules of vigil and how to comb a woman's hair bun.

Then there are the rules for cooking dishes and how to judge which dish the master likes from his expression and movements.

Recently, I taught Ding Jingzhu how to massage it without being heavy or light and make people feel comfortable.

Ding Jingzhu didn't know whether Li Xiuniang and Chen Qingya had the same teachings, but she was so tired every time she went to Lin's mother to watch.

However, with strong control and self-discipline, Ding Jingzhu held on.

And I can also feel that Mother Lin is becoming more and more satisfied with her.

That morning, Ding Jingzhu and Li Xiuniang were waiting in the yard early. Last night, it was Chen Qingya on the night.

However, this morning, Lin's mother rarely instructed Gu Dong: "Today is the day to pay the money, and you and Gu Xia went to collect it for me in the afternoon."

"I have also received the three girls' case. I have bought some useful things for them, and the rest is included in my huanghuali wood box."

"You have half a day off in the afternoon, and have a moment of rest."

Gu Dong responded with a smile, but Gu Xia snorted gently, lukewarmly.

Ding Jingzhu guessed that today is November 15th. It seems that the Qin Mansion should be in the middle of the month.

However, I have no opinion on the case where Mother Lin takes over her three little maids. After all, her three little maids have no status at all.

I was not relieved to put the obtained copper coins in a large wooden box that was not even in the chain. After all, there was no one in the yard during the day.

Maybe I know that today is the day to make money, but today is not very busy.

After noon, Le Jia and Le Ye came and put on a sad expression.

"Mom, I just received it in the morning. We brothers are thinking about having a drink, so why is it worth it?"

Mother Lin smiled slightly: "No month is like this. Today's work is rare, so you should also regard it as night time."

When Le Jia and Le Ye saw that they could not deceive Lin’s mother, they had to cheer up.

Lin’s mother went back to the courtyard, but Ding Jingzhu and the other two wanted to follow Gu Dong and Gu Xia to see the fun.

The maids in the Qin Mansion have a monthly fee of 200 yuan per month, and Ding Jingzhu and the other two are like this.

The third-class maids have a monthly monthly rate of 500 yuan, while the second-class maids like Gu Dong and Gu Xia are a monthly rate of 800 yuan.

A first-class person like Lin's mother is one tael of silver, but as the manager, Lin's wife, adds one tael of silver and the preferential treatment given by the old lady, which is a total of three taels of silver.

Although the official of the Dagan Dynasty where we are located now has given a regulation that one tael of silver is worth one thousand copper coins.

However, the price of copper and silver in private floats up and down from the price range of 1,200 copper coins to 1,300 copper coins.

Therefore, one tael of silver is a big deal. Lin’s monthly income is more than the other five people in the yard.

At this time, there were already long queues in the place where the money was sent. The maids and mothers came forward one after another to draw the names of the accounting managers sitting in front of the table and pressed their handprints.

The accountant manager is already in his old age. He looks a few years older than Lin's mother, and there are a few traces of gray in his black hair.

After the personnel checks, they will draw a circle with a red pen under the person's name.

The servants and tyrants on the side took the money from the basket beside him, and the copper coins were worn in advance according to the rules.

It was Gudong and Guxia summer, but I got a red seal wrapped in red paper, two strings of big money and three strings of small money.

Ding Jingzhu guessed that the red seal was Lin's mother's silver. Looking at the little one, it was worth more than the heavy copper coins on her body.

After receiving the money, the gray-haired manager did not rush to let the five of them leave. He smiled at Gu Dong and said:

"Sister Dong, my kid is thinking that he can't come to see you these days. I'll ask you what you need. He will bring you next time while you are resting."

Gu Dong turned red and gave a blessing: "Thank you, Manager Xiang."

The accountant smiled at the manager and didn't say much.

On the way back, everyone was talking and laughing, but Gu Xia was angry at Gu Dong and the three little girls.

The four of them said that the nose was not the nose, and the eyes were not the eyes, and then they ran away first.

Gu Dong still has a good temper and is not as angry as Gu Xia at all.

Looking at the puzzled gaze of Ding Jingzhu and the other two, Gu Dong rarely explained: "She didn't have such a temperament before. She has been a little unhappy since we both decided to marry each other."

Ding Jingzhu was thinking about the mystery behind this. Gu Dong must have given the son of Xiang Manager, the accountant whom he saw today.

Is Gu Xia jealous?

Back at the small courtyard where he lived, Gu Dong first put Lin's mother's red seal and three strings of small money from the three little maids into Lin's mother's main room, and locked the box and door carefully.

Then he came to the west wing of Ding Jingzhu and the other two and explained patiently:

"Mom has always been nice. Other mothers said they were collecting money for the little girls, but they used it to eat hops by themselves."

"Mom never misses the little girls' money. When you have serious errands in the future, you will naturally give it to you."

"Gu Xia and I are here too. Don't be suspicious."
