"Dirty and tiring work, the kind of work that most people don't want to do. You're so young, not to mention what you can do, even if you're doing needlework, you have to keep your hands white and tender. If your hands get rough from working, you'll mess up the embroidery, and how will you learn needlework?"
So, to spare you those experiences and allow you to learn needlework directly, I'm thinking of buying an old woman who knows embroidery to teach you. Anyway, you're still young, so there's no rush. If there isn't one in town, we'll look in the county town.”
She felt she had made herself very clear, but she didn't know if the little girl would understand. Although she hated the "I'm doing this for your own good" mentality, that's exactly what she was doing.
However, she won't always have this mindset.
Since it's only just begun, neither of them is in a hurry. If Xiaoman'er loses patience after a while, they can just lower their expectations. An employment relationship is fine, but Yue Jiuyue would feel more at ease with an old woman who signs a contract of servitude, because how could a servant dare to bully their master?
She was just trying her best to give this child the best she could.
If not, it's okay to settle for second best. The choice is in Xiaoman'er's hands. After all, she wants to learn needlework, and she just wants to find a few old women who know how to embroider to embroider things for her to sell in the mall. So there's no rush.
This time, there were no more suppressed sobs in the carriage, but Xiaoman'er was still not in high spirits. Perhaps she hadn't found the right person and was feeling a little down.
See, she really has a lot of free time; she even has time to ponder a child's feelings.
When Yue Jiuyue returned home, she saw that there were many more people in the house. Without Yue Jiuyue asking, Liu Shi took the initiative to explain to Yue Jiuyue the purpose of those people's visit.
"Madam, those people are bricklayers from the county town. They were brought by a group of servants who came last time. They said they want to improve the scenery around the lotus pond and are waiting for you to come back so we can discuss it together."
Bricklayer?
Building a lotus pond?
Then she'll have free professional help to do the work.
Although it's summer and the weather is hot, making it easy to get heatstroke, the person was hired by those rich young men and is a professional, so there's no chance of them cheating. I wonder if I can borrow them when the time comes; I can pay them myself.
According to her plan, she plans to build one or two courtyards on each hilltop. In the past, it was for her own residence, but now, it is a way to prepare for the future tourism industry. People are willing to travel a long way to the countryside just to see a lotus pond. Once her peach orchard, apple orchard, plum orchard, etc. are planted, will she still worry about not having people to come and see the flowers?
Even if no one comes, she still has to get Lin Chaonan to invite the county magistrate. After all, the county magistrate helped with the publicity this time, which shows that he is a good spokesperson, and he is super proactive and does it for free.
"Okay, what are they actually doing over there right now? Building temporary housing?"
Yue Jiuyue looked at the area with the most people and asked.
"Yes, madam."
Hearing Liu's definitive answer, Yue Jiuyue pondered for a moment and then asked:
Did they bring their own cook and food?
"I don't know. They came and immediately chose that location to start building houses. I don't know if they brought any food. Should I go check on them?"
