Eight cents, so cheap! Is embroidery so cheap now?
Seeing her silence, the woman thought it was too expensive, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Girl, if you like it, just five cents!"
Her younger brother is seriously ill and needs money to treat his illness and save his life. She has not yet opened her business today. Without money, she cannot treat his brother's illness.
Wen Xi shook his head, but before he could speak, he saw the woman's face turned gloomy and said feebly: "How much money does that girl want to buy?"
Wen Xi knew that she had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly explained: "Girl, although your embroidery skills are good, the fabric is too poor, I'm afraid it won't be sold."
The woman nodded, she also knew this truth, but her family did not have money to buy good fabrics, so she made this by picking up rags that others did not want.
"Why don't you come and work here! I'll pay you, and I like your craftsmanship." Wen Xi said with a smile.
The woman looked up at her with surprise, then lowered her head and murmured: "No, I can't go out to work."
"Why?"
"There is a younger brother at home. His parents passed away due to illness last year. I am raising my younger brother alone. He is only four years old. He has contracted a serious disease recently. If no one takes care of him, he will not survive." She sobbed softly: "Please give me a favor today. The aunt next door will take care of him, and I will set up a stall to exchange some money for him to buy medicine."
She understood when she heard the words.
No wonder no embroidery shop wanted her for such a good craftsmanship.
It's just that her place has almost turned into a shelter, so it doesn't matter if there is one more.
She would be a fool to reject such a good craftsmanship.
"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of empty rooms. You can take your brother to settle down. Besides, I have some medical skills and can show him."
When the woman heard this, she burst into tears with excitement.
It can be said that I was surprised and happy.
"Thank you for your kindness, girl!" She wiped her tears and said, "Then I'll bother you, girl."
The woman led them to a dilapidated house. The paper covering the windows was broken and the door was hung crookedly.
When I walked inside, I saw a woman washing towels.
"Aunt, thank you." The woman took the towel and said gratefully.
"It doesn't matter. I don't have to sell vegetables today. I just have free time. I'll leave when you come back. By the way, Nannan, your brother seems to be more serious. I feel my head and it feels hot!"
Tang Nannan quickly turned back to look at Wen Xi.
Wen Xi walked forward and looked at the boy lying on the bed. He didn't look like a four-year-old boy. He was so thin and small. He looked at most two years old.
The boy looked haggard and his cheeks were sunken.
She rolled the boy's eyelids and placed her hand on his pulse.
It only took a moment to figure out the cause of the child's illness.
When it comes to treatment, it is really simple.
This child was deficient in the womb, but if he was well cared for, he could soon reach the level of a normal person. However, he didn't eat anything good since he was born, and he was infected with wind and cold, which is why he is here.
She took out a tonic pill from her pocket, which was most suitable for the child's condition.
She turned to Tang Nannan and said, "You siblings, please go to my place! His illness will be cured soon."
"Really?" Tang Nannan felt that she was lucky enough to have such a generous employer!
She wrapped Tang Xin in the only quilt she had, fearing that his illness would become more serious, but when she got into the carriage, she hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Wen Xi saw that she hadn't gotten in the car yet and was standing uneasy underneath, so he knew it and said with a smile, "Get in the car, your brother can't see the wind."
"But we are all dirty, so we might dirty your car." She looked at her clothes, especially her shoes, which were covered with mud. She didn't dare to get in the car, for fear of annoying her and losing such good things. Errands.
"No problem, come on!"
Seeing her insistence, Tang Nannan gritted her teeth and got in the car.
She has seen carriages on the street countless times, but poor families like them will never be able to board a carriage in their lifetime. You know, even if she sells her, they will not be able to afford such a good car, or even buy one. The horse that pulls the cart.
She sat at the seat closest to the door, holding Tang Xin carefully, for fear of getting a little dirty.
Wen Xi asked her many questions, and she answered them all.
"Nan Nan, if you come to work for me, I will give you fifteen taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation. What do you think?"
Fifteen taels!
Tang Nannan was shocked by the salary.
She never dreamed that she could earn so much money.
He nodded quickly: "Thank you, boss! I will do a good job!"
"Your brother can live with you. I have taken in many children there. They can be considered companions. When they grow up, they can stay with me to work, or they can go out to start their own business or take scientific examinations."
Scientific examination?
People like them can't pass the scientific examination even if they take it, and the cost of studying is too high
But no matter what, I am extremely lucky to have such a good place now. When Tang Xin grows up, he can work here. How great!
"When Tang Xin grows up, let him drive your car for you."
Wen Xi smiled and did not answer.
She hoped that they could study and stand out in the scientific examinations in the future.
No matter which dynasty, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, businessmen are at the bottom of the list. No matter how rich they are, they are like ants in the eyes of those who pursue official careers.
Therefore, we often hear that when a child from a poor family gets an official position, a local squire or wealthy businessman betroths his daughter to him.
So she urged Wen Tao to study.
Now that he can start his education at the age of three, it seems that he needs to find a knowledgeable teacher.
After handing Tang Nannan over to the woman he hired earlier, Wenxi went to the market again.
When they came to a car-selling shop, the boss saw her getting off the carriage with a servant behind her. He hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "Miss, please come in quickly. Can you see what you need?"
"I want a carriage."
"Come with me to the stable at the back to have a look."
Wenxi loves horses. In his previous life, he often went to horse riding stables and was an expert at horse riding.
Her masters said that her confidence on horseback even surpassed her medical skills.
When she came to the stable, she took a look at the white horse standing at the end.
I saw that he was all white and his limbs were strong and powerful. At first glance, he looked like a good horse.
When the boss saw that she had chosen this horse, the smile in his eyes was infinitely magnified, and he said, "Miss, you really have a good eye. This is the best horse in our store."
Wen Xi nodded, knowing it was not a lie, and asked, "How much money is this horse?"
"Fifty taels."
Fifty taels, the price was quite cheap. She thought the boss would offer a few hundred taels, and she wanted to bargain slowly and experience the fun, but she didn't expect that there was no room for her to show off.
She paid the money neatly, and the boss took the horse out. When he passed by her, Wen Xi's brows furrowed.
She looked at the hoof prints left by the horses and asked, "Boss, where did this horse come from?"
