But Mulan's face turned pale and her heart began to become weak. Her lips squirmed for several times. Finally, she asked uncertainly: "Wage? I must work? As a helper? If there is no work, there is no silver?" She had no objection to learning about the girl Hong and etiquette. Her mother had said before that girls from wealthy families had to learn these from her husband. But they all learned to show off and increase their value? Now that she is asked to trade work for money, wouldn't she become a slave?

"Where is a cousin?" Mulan couldn't help but blurted out what she thought.

Mu Song was anxious: "What kind of cousin? Why are you so whimsical about your mother? If you want to follow your mother to be your cousin, just leave."

Going to his uncle's house to be a cousin, Mulan shivered directly. Her uncle has been watching her and selling her to be a fool's wife, okay? Even her mother helps her uncle.

"I can be at home," Mulan curled her lips unwillingly, "You and your father can't afford to support me." Although you can't call the slave and change someone to serve you at home, you don't have to work, right? Of course, the food at home is definitely not as good as Meizhuang.

Changsheng had already received Zhiruo's instructions, and sighed and said, "As long as your brother and I have a bite of food, we will naturally not let you be hungry. But you also know the bottom of the family. When your mother left, she took a little money that she had finally praised. Even your cousin's rent this month is still owed."

Sure enough, Mulan became depressed after hearing this. She secretly saw her father giving her mother a purse that day, but she was afraid that her mother would not leave, so she would sell her with her uncle, so she hid and said nothing.

Changsheng seemed to have not seen her expression and continued, "You are twelve years old, and you are at the age of kissing. No matter how much your brother and I love you, we can't save much dowry. Moreover, your brother will also talk about his wife in a few years, right? Also, your mother's bad reputation will definitely affect you. The eldest girl asked you to come to Meizhuang to learn craftsmanship and etiquette for the sake of your aunt and Hui'er, and at the same time, she also lets you earn money and save more dowry by yourself. What else are you not satisfied with? Who else will care about you?"

Mulan was shaken. She was not completely ignorant. Before her family was defeated by her uncle, her mother often said that she would buy a generous dowry for her in the future. Women would not have the confidence to stay in her husband's house without a dowry. Since her mother was retired, the neighbors and customers who came to the Liu family's shop had not much talked about her mother's affairs, especially when the Wu family made trouble in the shop that day, she asked for compensation and transfer the shop. When the yard contract was written, her mother and uncle cried begged her father to agree.

She could hear clearly that everyone said that her mother was a thief and a family traitor. Her father had been in trouble for eight lifetimes before marrying such a wife. Some people even said directly, "This woman's daughter is pitiful. She was almost sold by her mother, and she would be influenced by her mother for the rest of her life. I'm afraid that good men would not want to marry a daughter raised by such a woman?" She had been crying for this sentence for several days.

Seeing Mulan loosened, Zhiruo struck while the iron was hot: "If you don't want to, I will naturally not force it. One tael of silver a month, I can raise two or three capable maids who sign dead contracts." The monthly silver a maid is usually only three or four hundred cents a month. This is still in the Yin family in Meizhuang, and other families don't have that much. If it is in the Qingyuan Hou Mansion, it would be nice to get 200 yuan a month. The average second-class maid only has 400 yuan.

Although Mulan didn't know the maid's feelings for the bank, she was still shocked by the one tael of silver from Zhiruo: "One tael of silver? Is there really so much wages?" In the past, when she was in the southwest, her sister of a good friend was sold by her family to an old rich man as a concubine. The monthly silver was one tael of silver, and she was always deducted. Also, at that time, her father wanted to ask a master who had one tael of silver every month to help in the shop, but her mother couldn't bear to let her go, so she only hired two apprentices to help her father, each of whom. Each month only had two hundred dollars. In addition to being busy in the shop, the two apprentices were often ordered to do this and that, and nine out of the twelve hours a day were working.

Zhiruo leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "As long as you study and do things according to the arrangements of Mother Gui and Ajuan's wife, one or two silver dollars a month will naturally be true. If you are smart and capable enough to satisfy their work, it is not impossible to increase the monthly silver in a few months." She needs a lot of collaterals, purses, vegetarians, etc. as New Year gifts, store opening gifts, etc., and it requires a high-quality handmade one, whether it is high-end fabric or ordinary cotton.

Mulan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she was thinking about it carefully. Isn't it just to learn to cook? How difficult is it? She had learned embroidery with the girls from neighbors for a while, and compared to anyone who learned it faster, but she was just lazy. Thinking that her mother, the girl, still had enough food and clothing, so that her father could be obedient.

However, a while ago, her mother complained to her uncle and realized that she was disliked by her aunt because her mother was not beautiful and not good at female beauty. Even now, the eldest girl and Huier cousin do not take her aunt seriously.

Although her mother still refused to admit it, she knew it a little. Whether a woman’s female celebrity is good or not is very important. Of course, what is more important is money and a generous dowry. Like Miss Yin, there are so many dowry, who are you afraid of? If you say you are divorced, you will divorce, and if you say you don’t recognize your grandmother, uncle and aunt, you will not recognize it...

"Okay, I'll stay," Mulan gritted her teeth and decided without hesitation for too long, "but you have to keep your word. You can't say that I didn't do it well just because you don't like me, and you can't treat me badly."

He is really a child! Zhiruo was secretly funny, but his face was still faint: "Of course, you can see the standards in advance, or you can see things made by people who do the same job as you. As for the unfair treatment, when do you feel that you have been unfairly treated, you can leave at any time.

In addition, I don’t like some of your words, deeds and attitudes, but I don’t like you. Otherwise, even for the sake of Huier and your aunt, I wouldn’t let you stay in Meizhuang. We don’t lack maids, they are cheaper than you and are more useful than you.

Okay, since I decided to stay, go with Ajuan’s wife. I will learn the rules of our Meizhuang for a day first. Remember to remember everything you can’t do or say, otherwise it is possible to be kicked out suddenly.”

Mulan stared at Zhiruo for a long time, but she didn't know if she was scared or was digesting Zhiruo's words in a daze. Until she was taken by Ajuan's wife who was waiting at the door and walked out for a long time without even coming back to her senses.

When Mulan went out, Changsheng said with gratitude: "I am very grateful to the big girl who has been so worried about letting Mulan stay and study well. How can you spend money? The girl's salary is to be borne by me, and I will send it with the rent for Huier every month." His daughter knew that she was taught by Lu, and she was lazy and low-key. What could she do to earn one tael of silver a month and eat and drink for free in Meizhuang. He didn't expect Mulan too much, just learn more. As for one tael of silver a month, she just took it from her left hand to her right hand, and let Mulan save her future dowry.

Zhiruo shook his head and asked with a smile: "Uncle Changsheng doesn't believe me, or does he have no confidence in Ajuan's wife? If you don't believe me, I have a way to help Mulan change her temper? If you don't believe Ajuan's wife can teach Mulan well?"

"No, of course not," Changsheng waved his hand in an anxious manner, "I just worry that Mulan is not good at being good, and that her temperament has been deformed by Lu's family." It is said that his daughter Xiao's mother, Mulan has always been closest to her mother. Even if he feels sorry for his daughter, he knows that his daughter has a lot of bad habits.

Zhiruo comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I know it. Mulan is not bad by nature. Although she has many bad habits, she is strong and smart. She is young and has not yet determined her character. As long as we use the right method and have enough patience, there is a great chance to help her turn her temperament. Uncle Changsheng, since you have given her to me, don't think too much."

Zhiruo said this, and Changsheng was not good at saying anything else, so he could only keep his deep gratitude in his heart. Mu Song also secretly told himself that the eldest girl was as kind as a mountain to their family, and he would do his best to repay him if he had the chance.

The recent progress of several things was as she thought. Diantou had a big order. Zhiruo was in a very good mood. When talking to Qiang Bo, Mo Wang, they both smiled when they talked about things, which made Qiang Bo happy and talked more than usual: "Qiu Yiran has been married for the past two days. I heard that he was busy with business, so he asked his brother to pick him up the bride for him. He only picked up the bride at the dock. Humph, a ruined marquis' mansion with embroidered pillows, why are you busy with business? After all, you still look down on the merchant family."

Zhiruo also sneered. Qiu Yiran was arrogant and apologized. Unfortunately, in this life...haha... I'm afraid it will be difficult to get what I want. She wanted to see what Xu Yuanniang could bring to Qiu Yiran and Qingyuan's Marquis' Mansion? Of course, there are not many people as stupid as her previous life, let alone Xu Yuanniang's name is smart and capable.

Also, the Qiu family has changed a lot in this life. The old lady has disappeared early. The truth of Qiu Yiran's life experience has been broken by the old Marquis and Ji. Qiu Yanran is reborn...

What impact will these changes have?

After roughly calculating the time, Zhiruo asked casually: "Qiu Yanran should be able to walk around, right?" He was originally a restless person, but now he is reborn with "prediction", and I am afraid that the impact on her will be at the brunt of her. Uh, Qiu Yanran is not stupid. If you want to compare many things in the two lives, you should have already suspected that she had lived for a lifetime.
