Chapter 347 (1/2)
After learning that the princess of Jin would not have any money to reward before the new year, people's enthusiasm was not as good as before.
Everyone is a bit lazy. If you can't, you'll have to deal with it carelessly.
In contrast to their procrastination, the bamboo garden is full of energy.
Because it has been closed in recent years, many of the victims who came out to beg began to return, and the huts filled with victims before became increasingly empty.
Those porridge sheds at the gate of the city began to evacuate one after another.
Looking at the next empty porridge shed, a mother-in-law was brushing the pot and asked the responsible mother Shi: ”when will we put this porridge shed?”
Stone mother looked around and said: ”shiziye said to put it on the 15th of the first month, can't let the people's Congress have nothing to eat.”
It's going to be on the fifteenth day of the first month!
The woman who brushes the pot looks at the empty porridge shed next door with envy.
”You, don't envy others.” Mother Shi doesn't know what these people are thinking. ”Shiziye also said that you have worked hard these days. When we remove the porridge shed, we can each get another two liang of silver.”
When they heard this, they were all in a daze.
When they worked as servants in the palace of the king of Jin, their monthly silver was less than two Liang. Some people only had one or two Liang a month, and the reward was two Liang a month. How could people not be overjoyed.
”So... Mother Shi... Does everyone have two or two?” Some women are still not at ease, so they stretch out two fingers and draw in front of mother Shi's eyes.
”It's two. Everyone has two.” Mother Shi is always easygoing and generous. As long as it's not a matter of principle, she is willing to laugh with everyone.
When they were laughing together, a very small and thin young girl stood outside the porridge shed timidly, with a face ready to speak
He said: ”please... Excuse me...”
A woman who stood outside waved her hand and said, ”it's not time for porridge. You can wait a little longer.”
”No, it's not,” said the young girl, looking embarrassed. ”I'm not asking when to make porridge.”
”Do you want to know when we're going to set it up?” Another daughter-in-law in the shed also said, ”we'll put it on the 15th of the first month!”
”Neither... Neither.” When she was young, the girl moved timidly to the pillar of the porridge shed, looked at mother Shi's apron and said, ”I... I just want to ask that mother if her apron is colored silk embroidery...”
Stone mother a listen to this woman asked unexpectedly is oneself, also some strange looking down at oneself waist wear of apron.
The apron was specially sent by Xiayi girl in the mansion a few days ago. She said it was a little bit of the lady's heart before the Chinese new year, and specially told her not to take it away. She had to take it out every day, so she put it around her waist.
”You mean my apron?” Mother Shi walked out of the porridge shed with a smile and said, ”it's from the government. It's not only me, but also them.”
It's just that they all have handkerchiefs. They can't tie them like her.
”Can you... Can you give me a look?” The girl was still timid, but her eyes were full of desire. Stone mother thought, left is just an apron, what can't show people? Also very generous will that apron from the waist down, handed the girl.
