Chapter 229 Inviting people
Song Yun didn't say much, because his cousin was a smart man and never did anything on his own.
And there is Fourth Uncle, who always stands behind Fourth Aunt.
So as far as I can remember, he has never done anything to hurt anyone in our family.
It was only when he was a child and was playing with his third brother that he pushed him down, causing him to go blind.
But these people are often the most terrifying. It is said that a biting dog never barks.
Song Yun just said lightly: "Yeah," and left.
Watched him leave.
The person next to Song Yi said in dissatisfaction: "This new scholar is so arrogant!"
"Really? Maybe it's because you got the first place in the exam!" Song Yi said lightly.
"What's the big deal? Weren't you also the top candidate in the case two years ago? You weren't as arrogant as him!" another person said contemptuously.
But Song Yi did not explain.
Then went back to the room.
Shen Xia went back chatting and laughing with her second brother.
The first thing I did when I got home was to tell my mother the good news.
Shen Xia happily entered the yard.
Just like in modern times, the first thing to do when entering the house.
"Mother-mother-mother-!"
In the yard, Grandma Mo watched Shen Xia come back.
"Young Madam——"
"Well, Granny Mo, where's Mom?"
"Madam and her two cousins are in their yard."
"Oh, okay, I'll go find her then,"
He wanted to run away, then turned around and said to the people in the yard, "Fourth Young Master, I got the first place in the exam. This month everyone's salary will be doubled."
Everyone in the yard cheered when they heard it.
Everyone was happy and felt it was great.
Those who bought in later, like those before them, were initially curious as to why so many people were bought in the countryside!
Later, looking at the yard outside, I thought it was the landlord's house.
Later I found a good idea, it’s about doing business.
Although it is not a family of officials.
But the host treats us really well.
And he would not beat or scold his servants.
It’s really a blessing from my previous life.
Shen Xia happily ran to her mother's yard.
Leaving behind a yard full of cheering people.
Song Ming shouted from behind: "Slow down! Xia Xia."
Just then I saw my mother and two cousins coming out.
Then he happily pulled his mother and said, "Mom, our fourth brother has won the first place in the case."
Then Song's mother looked at Shen Xia in confusion: "First place in the case?"
"It means the first place among the scholars." Shen Xia explained.
"Really?" Song's mother was surprised.
"Yes, indeed, I saw it with my own eyes,"
"Oh, God bless you! Smoke is coming out of our ancestral grave, and it must be his father's blessing!"
Zhao Xue said: "Wow, I will have a scholar cousin in the future."
"That's right. My sister won't have to worry about her marriage anymore." Zhao Xin said with a smile.
Zhao Xue reached for Zhao Xin's waist and said, "How dare you, little girl, make fun of me."
Zhao Xin was so desperate that she begged for mercy: "Okay, sister, I was wrong. Can't I just stop talking?"
Shen Xia also likes the two sisters Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin.
He has good eyesight and a sense of boundaries, is good at dealing with people and is polite. It's hard not to like him.
Shen Xia also smiled and said, "If you have someone you like, you should let your cousin take a look. She will give you a wide eye."
"Okay, of course I trust my cousin's wife's judgment. If she says no, I won't accept it no matter how much I like it."
"Oh! You trust me so much?"
"Of course, look at your vision, your cousins are devoted to you!"
Shen Xia laughed and said, "Are you praising me or your cousins?"
"Of course I'm praising my cousin's wife!" Zhao Xue said with a smile.
The four of them were chatting and laughing when Yan Yi came in and said, "Madam, young madam, the officials are here with the plaque."
Shen Xia took a few people out.
There were many fellow villagers at the door.
Two of the people carrying the plaque knew each other.
"Thank you for your help. Please come in and take a seat."
Everyone at the door was saying congratulations.
Shen Xia also had people scatter wedding money.
Shen Xia looked at the two eye-catching golden characters on the plaque.
"First Case"
looks good!
The identity of a scholar.
Yan Yi was also sensible and set off firecrackers immediately.
The two yamen runners never expected that the house was old and dilapidated when they came last, but it had been completely renovated in just a few months.
As expected, he is the person that Lord Gu likes, his abilities are so strong!
It’s just a pity that the adults have also left.
When the yamen runners left, Shen Xia gave each of them two taels of silver, a total of eight taels of silver for the four people.
In fact, giving one or two taels is considered a lot.
But Shen Xia gave each person two taels of silver.
That's quite generous.
There’s nothing I can do about it, the main thing is that I’m happy!
Time passed quickly and a few more days passed.
Shen Xia calculated that it was almost time to recruit people.
There are Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin next door, so it would be enough to recruit ten more people, including young girls.
In their free time, Zhao Xue and Zhao Xin were also asked to practice calligraphy, because they would not be able to do well without calligraphy, as they would be responsible for all matters in the factory in the future.
It is impossible for Song Jin to be confined to the factory forever.
Because this job requires someone who is more meticulous.
So we need young girls, and I plan to make fabrics myself in the future, so it will be convenient for the girls to change jobs in the future.
Although she could spare some people from her own yard, Shen Xia handed the matter of malt sugar over to Cui Yu, who was responsible for leading three people to make the dragon beard pastry every month.
Shen Xia didn't even post a notice about recruiting people, because they were all from the same village and the people in that family were hardworking, so one could find out by just asking people around.
I asked my mother first, and she also mentioned a few candidates.
So in the afternoon, Shen Xia went out for a walk with her mother.
I originally wanted to go to my third uncle's house first, but then I thought, Aunt Liu next door is close, so I decided to go to Aunt Liu's house first, because Aunt Liu had mentioned her eldest daughter before.
Shen Xia also asked her mother.
My mother said that the girl was diligent and a little smart.
Being smart is good!
He is just a little younger, the same age as Zhao Xin, twelve years old.
But just be diligent.
When the two of them went out, they took Jixiang and Ruyi with them, and Granny Mo usually stayed in the yard.
When I arrived at Aunt Liu's house, I saw Daya in the yard, so it was Daya who opened the door.
Daya looked at Song's mother and Shen Xia and said with a smile, "Aunt Song, sister-in-law of the Song family."
"Yeah." Shen Xia
"Well. Is your mother at home?" asked Song's mother.
"Yes, please come in and sit down!" Daya led the two of them in.
I shouted loudly to my family: "Mom——"
Aunt Liu yelled, "Why are you shouting? You're calling for the soul!"
When they came out, they saw Shen Xia and Song's mother.
"Haha, Sister-in-law Song, I'm making fun of you. I thought the child was screaming. Come in and sit down." Aunt Liu was embarrassed!
Then he glared at his daughter, who only knew how to shout and didn't know how to finish his words.
Mother Song smiled and said, "It's okay, just sit in the yard."
There happened to be a stool in the yard.
After everyone sat down, Aunt Liu asked, "What's the matter?"
Song's mother glanced at Shen Xia and said, "It's like this. Aren't there more and more cocoons? So we need to hire someone. So I thought about what you said before, if we need to hire someone, we should consider your daughter, so I came here to ask."
Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? Thank you so much."
In fact, I know that as long as the Song family puts a notice at the door, anyone who comes can trample the threshold of the Song family, but they came to ask me in person.
Although the Song family became wealthy, they still treated me the same as before.
I was even more happy in my heart.
