Chapter 739: Half a Disciple
Li Xuemei listened with excitement.
The money obtained through crooked means is not for himself, but to help Mr. Tian pay off his debts.
"Wow!" Yan Yu's eyes had a different look, and she touched the banknotes, "I'm so touched! Dad, Mom, this is not a small sum of money, but a united effort!"
“It was your master who did it, everyone is bright-eyed and watching.” Yan Laoer looked away from Yourong, looking extremely proud.
“Dad, this is a lot of money. I’ll still have some money left after paying off the account.” Yan Yu said.
She went from house to house to pay homage. She knew who the creditor was and how much money each house lent.
He counted on his fingers and said: "The silver given by the prince and the prince is a lot, but there is no need to pay it back..."
Yan Laoer chuckled and lowered his voice: "Dad thinks so too. Your master borrowed it from the palace because of his ability. Why should he pay it back? Do the prince and the prince have any IOUs?"
Yan Yu's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled: "Hey, Dad, you are so cunning, I like it!"
Father and daughter were laughing loudly.
Xiao Yaer suddenly laughed out loud and fluttered her hands and feet.
“Oh, my sister feels the same way, hahaha!” Yan Yu happily hugged her sister and touched her forehead.
Xiao Ya'er was stunned, grinned again, and grabbed her face with her little hands.
Yan Yu quickly handed her sister to her father.
Yan Laoer took it over skillfully and let Xiao Yaer's little hands scratch his face. He gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain while coaxing him angrily: "I won't catch you, my dear. Dad, I can't stand this old face of yours." You have strong hands, yes, you can pat and touch, but don’t pick daddy’s nose!”
Yan Yu rescued his father with a smile.
Li Xuemei quickly stuffed a cloth tiger into Dali Zaizai's hand.
Little Ya'er's attention was attracted by the cloth tiger patchworked with floral fabrics. Without hesitation, she held it with her two little hands and slapped it on her face.
Let's play by ourselves with our hands and feet.
Yan Laoer: "I have thought about it. We will help the teacher manage the remaining money and build a house and land. The teacher and his wife will take care of themselves in the future."
Li Xuemei had no objection: "Giving this money to Master's wife is also embarrassing for her. We will bear it."
“Build it together with my godfather’s house!” Yan Yu cheered.
“Yes, let’s build it together!” Yan Laoer said with a smile.
“Master’s wife is not at home?” Yan Laoer asked.
"I went into the mountains with those girls from Qianchu." General Li Xuemei briefly explained the accounts of the camp and said: "From now on, our accounts will be separated from those over there. You are the one who is the 100th householder and the deputy, which means the court has no I can't afford to pay, and I'm stingy with high quality, so I let you manage so many people. If you really follow the rules, you can command more than a hundred soldiers with your current official position."
Li Xuemei has been putting some thought into the new military camp recently and has gotten to know her better.
"You two are kindhearted, but you have to be more careful. We can't use our own money to raise soldiers for others. Now that they have paid their wages, we will try not to default on them in the future. In addition to the food and clothing we should take care of, we will not be responsible for the rest. in spite of."
Li Xuemei's tone was serious: "I have also said hello to the village. I have provided sewing and washing in the camp, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, sent messages and run errands, and even wanted to bring my family members from their hometown to our place. Don't be reluctant to spend your own money." , the belongings of the people in our village were not blown away by the strong wind."
Yan Yu winked at Yan Laoer: "Dad, my mother is right. Speaking of it, the good life of our village was achieved with swords and sticks. Now that we can't make money on Beirong's head, we can't make money on rebelling against the army." , look at that rich man in Xizhou, he can bring a few people back and collect protection fees for thousands of dollars. I used to patrol the treasury with the prince, my God, the officials over there in Xizhou are so rich, I The uncle was right to confiscate the house. The prince’s pocket will be fattened instantly. Dad, don’t miss out on such war wealth in the future. We will rely on this to raise troops and other things!”
"Father understands!" Yan Laoer's eyes narrowed back: "Fight to support war, otherwise why would I put more money into that military camp? This is all investment. If there is a chance, let us pay for it, and we will get our money back in one go. ! Make a lot of money!”
“Let’s teach like Teacher Mu! Teach how to draw patterns...” Yan Yu suddenly had an idea: “You can also teach the villagers to dye cloth.”
"Dyeing cloth? Do you want to teach the villagers?" Li Xuemei looked strange.
Yan Yu thought for a while and said slowly: "I'm still a little reluctant to teach them all. Let's teach half of them. I won't teach them how to build vats, but only teach them how to maintain them. In this way, there will be many more people to help me maintain various dye vats. It doesn't take up our family's space or our staff time. People in the village can earn some small money. As for me, hey, if I do a lot, I can make a lot of money over time. After all, if I do it by myself, Venue, manpower, etc. are all costs, and spreading them out means sharing the cost.”
"Grandma has seen me dyeing cloth. It is not difficult to maintain the dyeing vat. I can learn it after learning. I asked her to help me worry more. The most important thing is that I have Auntie Rong as a quality supervisor. I don't have to worry about failing to do this dyeing business." Get up, it’s not just a small matter, it can become big in one go!”
Yan Yu felt beautiful when she thought about it. She pinched her round belly, raised her eyebrows, and sang:
“Ah ha ha ha, it’s the season of spring when all things flourish, and the colors given by nature are all flowing into the dye vat!”
Li Xuemei thoughtfully said: "In this way, my wife can count as a share in the dyeing business."
“Dabao, this, this!” Yan Laoer gave a thumbs up to his daughter.
Not to mention Yan Yu’s proud look.
“Dad, keep a low profile and don’t show your face to my grandma.”
“Dad, don’t worry about your work. Don’t tell me about your master. I won’t even tell your uncle.”
"Uncle, you can still talk about it...ah! Does my uncle know about this more than one thousand taels of silver?"
"That's for sure. If your uncle doesn't nod for such a big sum of money, I won't dare to accept it. Mr. Li and the others are doing things behind his back. Your father is so embarrassed that he doesn't look at it. Your uncle is sharp-eyed. What's going on in the yamen?" You can hide it from him!"
“Hehe, it’s not easy for Master, having a subordinate like my uncle.”
“It’s okay, your uncle won’t be here for a long time. Sooner or later, he will return the Huju Government Office to your master…”
When Yan Laoer said this, he realized what he was saying and smiled.
Yan Yu burst into laughter.
Li Xuemei smiled.
Xiao Yaer followed the laughter and looked over, babbling excitedly.
The cloth tiger was thrown far away by her at some point.
His little arms and legs were fluttering on the kang like rowing boats.
…
Mrs. Tian thumped her waist. Although her body was tired, her heart was extremely happy.
She thought that the wild vegetables in the basket should be enough to weigh two plates.
Eat one plate at home and send another to the young master of the palace, which is also considered as an extra dish.
Half a disciple.
In Mrs. Tian’s heart, there is nothing wrong with Yan Laoer and her parents.
Have long regarded the Yan family as her own.
Zhai Zhai just likes you, hello, me, hello everyone~
Live happily~
ˆOh yeah\(^o^)/
