Chapter 8 Loyalty

In addition, the master and his subordinates had a dozen mouthfuls, and the expenses for eating and daily life were not a small amount.

What's more, Rong Yunhe is a sick body that needs medicine to maintain for many years. She also needs to use a lot of tonics on weekdays, so she has become more nervous.

When Lu's mother saw that the big girls and wives in the village would embroider a purse and veil during the slack season, she would use it to the town or sell it in the embroidery workshop in the county for some pocket money, so she thought of relying on her hand to subsidize her family income.

Not to mention, Lu's mother's needlework was just a few needles when she was free. After saving too much, Uncle Cai took it to the embroidery workshop in the county and actually got a lot of silver.

After all, Lu’s mother had seen big scenes in the capital, and the flowers in the capital were the most numerous and fashionable. Moreover, Lu’s mother’s double-sided embroidery was naturally many times stronger than the flowers that the peasants in Yanbei were thinking about embroidered by themselves!

The shopkeeper of the embroidery shop fell in love with Lu's mother's work and made the price very high. He also specifically instructed Uncle Cai to take all the needles and threads made by Lu's mother in the future and he would pay a high price.

Not only that, whenever Cai Bairui goes to the embroidery shop to buy fabric and silk thread for Lu’s mother, the shopkeeper will sell it to Cai Bairui at the purchase price. The fabric and silk thread are also selected by the store, and the one with the brightest colors and the most numerous colors are sold to the Rong family.

Therefore, the Rong family can always buy the best cloth and silk thread at the cheapest price.

Since then, Mother Lu would sit in the yard when she took time, talking to Aunt Luo while doing work. The silver obtained from the embroidery work was enough for Uncle Tan’s hard hunting income, which made the Rong family’s finances no longer so nervous.

Yunying was taught by her mother Lu since she was a child, and her needlework was naturally the true teachings of her mother Lu. A few years ago, she was able to wrap up some of the broken needlework in the Rong family alone, reducing a lot of pressure and burden on her mother Lu.

Now, Rong Yunhe's clothes, shoes, socks, purse and veil were basically wrapped by her and Zi Su Ziwei, which would give Lu's mother more free time to make needles and threads and sell them for money.

Rong Yunhe saw Yunying take out a piece of silver rat skin made of nitrate from the needle and thread basket, then take a piece of elegant sky-blue silk, then dance with scissors and start working hard with needle thread. The rapid movement in his hand made Rong Yunhe dazzled, and he sighed in his heart that the ancients' superb handicraft skills.

Seeing Rong Yun and his eyes staring at Yun Ying, Yun Xing smiled and said, "This is a few days ago. My mother said it's snowing. When the lady's health is better, she always has to go out. It's not possible without a few big clothes that block the wind.

The cloaks and fur coats I made for the lady last year are not only old, but the lady has grown up this year, and I am afraid it will be a little smaller when worn. Moreover, the cotton inside has not been warmed up for a year, so my sister took the time to make two cloaks for the lady.”

Rong Yunhe looked at the half-old sheepskin coat that Yun Xing was wearing, and then looked at the new fox fur coat that he was wearing, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Nowadays, most of the expenses at home are earned by Uncle Cai, Mother Lu and Uncle Tan, but most of them are spent on themselves and their brother.

In order to save some money, these people from the Cai family and the Tan family felt a lot of grievances in food and clothing.

If they were not dragging themselves down with their own abilities, they would be very prosperous now, with their own abilities.

Thinking of this, Rong Yunhe whispered: "How many people have I grown this year? I will never wear small clothes. Those cloaks and fur coats were all made last year, so I won't wear them for a winter. Isn't that a pity?

Our family is not as good as before, and we don’t get much leather. The fur coats you and Yunying have been wearing for two years, and the cuffs are so torn. It’s better to let your mother keep the leather and cotton and make two new coats for you and Yunying to wear.”

Yun Xing has been a servant of the Rong family since she was a child. Since she was a child, she heard that her mother told her to serve the lady well. She thought about her own lady in her heart. Even now that the Rong family is in a downturn, she would rather live a hard life than ever think about being wronged by her master.

Now that Yun Xing heard Rong Yunhe's words, she was moved and felt quite sad. Her lady was originally a lady from Jin Zun and Yugui, but she was originally in the capital, so what did she want?

Not to mention two cloaked fur coats, there are many cushions made of good white fox fur at home. Now even a cloak for winter and cold protection is required to be carefully calculated.

Originally, there were a group of maids and mothers around her daughter. The maids were divided into two or three levels in the room. No matter how they were doing miscellaneous work outside the room, they were doing a lot of cleaning.

Every season, the wife would ask the embroiderer of the needlework room to come and measure the size of the lady, and make a lot of new clothes, such as Shu brocade, Yun brocade, Moon shadow gauze, Cicada wing gauze, and all kinds of rare materials.

Not only that, every time the wife would call the shopkeeper of Yinlou to come to her house, and match the lady with dresses and jewelry that matched her clothes and dresses in Beijing, filling the five-story mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood rose dressing table on the lady's bedroom.

Now, in this remote small village, not only can the girls who live in such a simple way, but they can only find the girls who are illiterate in these villages.

In winter, Yanbei is much colder than in Beijing, but the lady is reluctant to replace her fur coat from last year, let alone any jewelry to buy.

The eldest lady, who has always been a gold-prime jade, now has no idea of ​​life and death. If it weren't for losing her lady on the way to escape, I'm afraid that the wife wouldn't have been so ill after coming to Yanbei and would have gone early.

When Yun Xing thought of this, her eyes turned red. She cursed the dog emperor who wronged her master in her heart. She was afraid that the lady would be upset when she remembered these things, so she secretly sniffed and smiled, "Don't worry, Miss. The skin on the inner cloak was made of the leather coats of the cloak last year. The outer skin was also hunted by Uncle Tan from the mountains a few days ago. It would be enough to make two cloaks for the lady."
