Chapter 618: Benevolence Quotient
Rural households go to bed early.
If anyone in the courtyard is disobedient, Wei Hong will appear at the window by surprise, and say quietly, "It's late, it's time to turn off the lights and go to bed."
Of course, the only ones who wanted her to come over every night to remind her were the bad girls in the inner courtyard.
Liu Yusheng is used to it, as soon as Aunt Hong's voice sounds, immediately turn off the lights obediently, otherwise the person at the window will repeat that sentence until you are never in love.
In another room, hearing Wei Hong's voice, Liu Muqiu hastily turned off the lights, climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt to cover himself, pricked up his ears, and quietly listened to the movement outside.
After a while, he felt that the people outside had left, he got up quietly again, lit the oil lamp, and propped up the embroidered cloth under the dim light.
Flying stitches and threads with his fingers, he looked at the embroidered cloth in front of him, with a soft smile on his lips all the time.
The ability to have embroidery skills is thanks to the training of the Li family back then. In order to allow the family's children to sell at a better price in the future, the Li family has attached great importance to the cultivation of the women in the family since childhood.
Famous masters were invited to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Among all the skills at that time, the one she studied the most was embroidery.
Because it is a craft that can sustain life.
When she was still very young, she had already made up her mind that as long as she could learn this skill well, she would have nothing when she left the Li family in the future. She had a skill in her hands, and she was not afraid that she would starve to death.
Therefore, compared with other sisters in the family, her embroidery is extremely good, and the skills she has learned are complicated.
Seeing her hard work, the embroidery master taught her more carefully. She even gave her many kinds of complicated embroidery techniques, including Su embroidery, Shu embroidery, and double-sided embroidery.
Looking at the thread just embroidered on the embroidered fabric in front of him, it is just the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean, for the whole layout. But Liu Muqiu could already foresee that when the whole work is completed, it will present a magnificent atmosphere.
She is confident that she can embroider perfect works.
After thinking for a while, there was a babbling and opening sound at the door, which made her hand tremble in fright, and the embroidery needle fell from her hand.
I thought it was Aunt Hong who came to urge her to rest again, but when I looked up, I saw Liu Yusheng squeezed in from the door.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, sneaking around, looking like a thief, with several small lanterns in her hand.
Entering the house, placing the lanterns around her, lighting up the lamps inside one by one, the whole room was lit up instantly.
"Ninny..." Liu Muqiu knew the purpose of the girl's coming, and his eyes were slightly warm.
"I knew you would never be safe. Embroidering under the dim light of a small oil lamp will soon damage your eyes. If you really can't help but want to work, just light up the lamps and turn the light on." Make it brighter, our family does not lack that little gas money."
The little girl leaned over, flicked her forehead, then turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned her head and warned, "Don't hurt yourself no matter how impatient you are, your body is not good, and embroidery hurts your eyes very much." Things have to be moderate."
Liu Muqiu slightly curled the corners of his lips, nodded, "I see, I'll sleep in half an hour at most."
"Just remember it yourself. I'm going to sleep first, I'm so sleepy." The little girl yawned, went out, and turned around to help her gently close the door.
Liu Muqiu looked at the closed door. After a while, he lowered his head and quickly threaded the needle.
Fingers are like flying butterflies, drawing beautiful colors on the white embroidered cloth stroke by stroke with needle and thread.
Two days after the members of the Wang family left, Chen Qiming personally visited the Chen family.
Bring a present to make amends.
Looking at her elder brother who was much older than before, Chen Xiulan had mixed feelings.
The old Liu family's attitude towards Chen Qiming is much better than those of the Wang family.
Who is a human and who is a ghost, the elders of the Liu family are very clear in their hearts.
Chen Qiming didn't stay at Liu's house for long, he rushed over in the morning, had lunch, and hurried home again.
When the flood hit, the entire Xiushui village was not spared.
Fortunately, their family has Chen Xiulan to help them, and Chen Qiming also saved a sum of money from planting an orchard before, which is used to renovate the house and start a new life. It is enough to survive until next year.
And their family is already in an excellent situation in the village. There are many families who can't even afford to renovate their houses, so they can only live in the dilapidated walls, and wait until later to slowly save money and then repair the houses.
Wang Shi quietly came to the Liu family to borrow money without telling him, which not only made him lose face, but also made him feel ashamed of the Liu family and his little sister.
Even if he came to the door to make amends, and the Liu family generously exposed the matter, he would not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart, and he would not have the face to stay here for a long time.
In late July, an imperial decree issued by the imperial court spread to Cangwu Town and Xinghua Village.
During the floods in the south, people from all walks of life who contributed money and efforts were praised.
The four major families of Yunzhou City were named in the imperial decree, and they were specially allowed to be recorded in the file of the Yamen as a commendation, recording a meritorious service.
Among them, the most popular one is the current head of the Qian family, old man Qian Baihao.
During the disaster relief in Yunzhou, Mr. Qian raised 1.2 million taels with his own efforts, all of which were donated to Yunzhou for the relief of the affected people and the reconstruction of the disaster area.
This is great benevolence and righteousness, and business ethics.
The imperial court specially bestowed on him the title of benevolent merchant, and specially selected the Qian family as this session of imperial merchants for a period of three years.
Three years later, re-election. The winner wins.
The Qian family's election this time is well deserved.
He was already the richest man in Nanling, and with the name of a benevolent businessman, there was no way for other businessmen to compete with the Qian family.
After Qian Wanjin heard the news, the smile on his face never fell all day long.
After so many years, their Qian family finally climbed to the highest position, became the number one richest businessman, and became an imperial businessman.
On this day, the Liu family compound was full of excitement for a whole day, and even the wine shops were extremely lively.
Especially Xinghua Village Winery. They can almost be said to have grown up together with Liu Yusheng and Qian Wanjin.
The two little girls and the boy back then have now grown into adults, and their respective backgrounds are getting stronger and stronger. As far as the winery is concerned, these factors will also make the winery more cohesive.
If the owner is capable, the winery will become more and more famous, and the workers who can work in the workshop will be more envied.
Anyone who works in the winery seems to have a label on them.
In Liu Yusheng's words, the male is called Gao Fushuai, and the female is called Bai Fumei. These families have also become the targets of unmarried men and women vying for blind dates.
Nowadays, in Cangwu Town and even Xiangshan County, if there are children in the family who want to marry, the first choice must be someone who works in the winery. It seems to have formed an atmosphere.
