Chapter 185： The thought of making a promise

Yang Erdan saw that things were almost over, and then said slowly: "I have been busy with the work in Zhuangzi these days. I also know that Miss Xu leaves Zhuangzi. She goes out to the Zhenbao Pavilion in the city to work every day. At the beginning, she It was an ox cart from a nearby village. Later, when the ox cart came to Zhuangzi, she took the ox cart on Zhuangzi."

Mrs. Qiu Zhang was dissatisfied that Yang Erdan spoke for Xu Nuoyan and said, "Why does Zhenbao Pavilion give her money every day? Why don't you all go to such a good thing?"

Yang Erdan shook his head, "If Aunt Zhang has Zhenniang's skills, you can go there. As long as you catch the eye of the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion, you can make money every day."

The women of the Qiu and Zhang family didn't know what Zhenniang was at all. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Gong Haining couldn't stand it, and explained aloud: "Zhenniang is the one who makes women's accessories, such as hairpins, hairpins, beads, flowers, etc. Just like the embroiderer, she earns her living based on her ability. It is not a problem for a good Zhenniang to make money every day. , Jewelry makers are usually made by men, but there are also women, but not many. I didn’t expect Miss Xu to have such ability. "

The two gossiping women did not expect that it turned out to be such a big mistake. They also offended the skilled Xu Nuoyan, and immediately glared at Mrs. Qiu Zhang angrily, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't said it with a nose and an eye, We won’t believe what we say!”

After the two scolded Qiu and Zhang, they immediately went to apologize to Xu Nuoyan.

Xu Nuoyan didn't like them both, but since they had apologized, she couldn't hold on to them all the time, so she said with a cold face: "I accept your apology. I hope you won't talk behind your back when you don't know the truth. My family has no power, so it doesn’t matter if it offends me, but it won’t be easy for others!”

“Yes, yes, Miss Xu said yes!” The two of them turned red and left quickly.

Ms. Qiu Zhang became even more angry, "You all go to her! Whatever she says will be whatever she says!"

“Aniang! It’s not over yet! You pack your bags and go back immediately, I don’t need you to take care of me.” Qiu Tong got angry, put down these words and left angrily.

Mrs. Qiu Zhang was afraid that her son would really drive her back, so she hurriedly chased her out, "I can't leave! What will you do if I leave?"

Hua Yongnian drank a glass of water and cursed angrily: "It is said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Today I have seen what it means to be careless! It really makes me angry!"

The more Hua Yongnian thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He turned to Gong Haining and said, "Let's go! Have a drink! Brother Nuo Shan, do you want to come with us?"

』

Xu Nuoyan took out a purse directly from his arms and said, "This is one tael of silver given to me by the shopkeeper today for you to drink!"

Looking at how domineering she was, all the men looked at her with suspicion.

Yang Santie asked in surprise: "Sister Xu, does Zhenniang make so much money?"

Xu Nuoyan looked at him and explained patiently: "The rule of Zhenbao Pavilion is that every thing Zhenniang makes can be sold at 10%. The premise is that the pattern is our own. If we can't think of it, we can make it for Zhenbao Pavilion." I can only get paid for the style, which is not much, so I do whatever I want.

Today I sold six hairpins. The shopkeeper should have given me one tael more, but I only took one tael. The rest will be recorded in the accounts first, and I will settle the bill after I have collected one tael. "

“That’s it! Sister Xu, you are so amazing!” Yang Santie admired capable people, especially capable women.

Xu Nuoyan smiled, stuffed her purse into Xu Nuoshan's arms without any explanation, and left with Madam Zhou on her arm.

Xu Nuoshan looked at the purse in his arms with complicated emotions. Gong Haining sighed: "Miss Xu is a person of integrity, let's go! Let's all come together?"

Yang Santie quickly followed, while Yang Erdan shook his head, "I still have something to do, so go ahead!"

Mrs. Zhou here started talking as soon as she returned to the yard, "That's one tael of silver! Why did you give your elder brother a drink?"

 Xu Nuoyan had a sullen face, opened the door and walked straight into the house, "Everyone has spoken for me today, so I should pay this amount."

Speaking of Xu Nuoyan, he raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, things like worldliness can best be solved with money. I'm afraid that I owe someone a favor but can't repay it. Don't you think so?"

Mrs. Zhou was speechless, and after a while she sighed, "I'm not saying that I don't want to thank them, but it's just one tael of silver! You earned it hard!"

Xu Nuoyan twitched his lips and said with a smile: "What's wrong with one tael of silver? I can earn it back in a few days of hard work! Auntie, I want to discuss something with you."

“What’s going on?” Mrs. Zhou was a little confused.

Xu Nuoyan lowered his eyes, "I want to stay in Fucheng and never go back."

"Ah? You are a girl who doesn't want to get married but still wants to stay in Fucheng? No! I don't agree!" Mrs. Zhou refused decisively and her attitude was very firm.

Seeing that Xu Nuoyan was not happy, Madam Zhou couldn't help but shed tears, "You said that you have reached your age and haven't found a suitable family yet, and today you are fighting in front of so many scholars, even if I want to be with your elder brother, I can’t even find it among my classmates! What will you do in the future?”

Xu Nuoyan frowned irritably, "Okay! Don't cry! I make my own decisions about my affairs. Look, I'm working in Zhenbao Pavilion now. When I'm good, I can earn seven or eight taels a month. Even if the situation is worse, I can't." Earning two or three taels is much better than getting up early and going to work! My brother is going to take the imperial examination, and there will be plenty of money to spend in the future! If I don’t work hard to make money, how can I succeed? I don’t want to think about it now!”

It's not that she doesn't want to get married, but seeing the ugly faces of Mrs. Qiu Zhang and those two women today, she suddenly doesn't have so many expectations for getting married. If her future mother-in-law has the same virtue as Mrs. Qiu Zhang, she will Not even a chance to regret.

Madam Zhou wiped her tears and said, "I will only treat what you said as angry words, and I will talk about it later! But I will never agree to leaving you alone in Fucheng. I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of the worst. As long as you are good, I'm satisfied!"

Xu Nuoyan did not continue this topic.

As soon as Yang Erdan walked out of Xiyuan, he saw Butler Zhu leading three carriages into the village and ran over quickly.

Butler Zhu said: "Second Young Master, these are the papers and letters sent by Madam. Please take a look."

Yang Erdan couldn't wait to open the letter, and smiled from ear to ear after reading it, "Hurry up and get the third child back. He said that my mother-in-law has delivered what he asked for, and my sister-in-law has given birth to a son. I Become an uncle!"

“Congratulations, Second Young Master, should we prepare some gifts?” Butler Zhu asked.

Yang Erdan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Tomorrow I will ask Miss Xu to customize a longevity lock for my nephew!"

Yang Santie was still on the way into the city. When he received the news, he immediately ignored everything and ran towards Zhuangzi. He rushed into the big house and shouted, "Second brother, second brother, where are my things?"
