I took a piece of paper and smeared it with a drawing, and Ping'er came in and put the things in my hand on a few points: "What kind of account is grandma settling? Just ask Cai Ming to count it." ”
I crumpled the paper in my hand and threw it aside, Sister Feng had never studied, but she only knew some words because she had to read the accounts, but it was still not possible to write it herself. But my handwriting has been practiced, and you can see the difference when you look at it.
"These things, the East House refused to ask for them, and let me get them back. Ping'er put things down: "She knows the courtesy." ”
"She knows the etiquette?" I sneered through my nose: "She naturally doesn't want this kind of little thing, she wants more and more powerful ...... Wait and see. You can take these things and put them away, and make two good clothes to wear. ”
"I don't want it, people have pointed out that it is for grandma, what can I say if I want it. ”
I smiled: "In the future, I will promote you to be an aunt and grandmother, won't it?"
Ping'er's smile froze for a moment, put the things down, and said, "I'll call Cai Ming, and grandma will tell him what he wants." ”
I said, "I don't need to call Caiming, but I want Wang'er to come here, I have something to ask him." ”
Ping'er agreed to go out, I just felt that there were too many facts to do, and I didn't know which one to start with for a while.
Also, I feel very distressed. When I read the book, I want to change the fate of the people in the book, I want Daiyu to die without tears, I want to welcome spring without dying in the mouth of the mountain wolf, and I want to explore the spring...... I want too much, but now I feel that in the position of Sister Feng, there is really not much I can do. On the surface, it seems that Sister Feng is capable and powerful, but she is in front of someone else's home, and Mrs. Wang said that if she seizes power, she will seize power.
Alas, why don't I dress as Jia's mother? She is the supreme ruler of this mansion, she said that no one dares to say two, let Daiyu and Baoyu get engaged, or marry Yingchun to someone else, usually give Tanchun more care, so that she will not marry far away...... Jia Mu can do these things, and it's just a matter of one sentence or two, who dares not to do what she commands? But I can't do the same in my current capacity. I dare to propose that Daiyu and Baoyu get engaged, the first Mrs. Wang will not spare me, don't look at me as her nephew now, but after all, my niece is not as close as her son and future daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wang is bent on letting Xue Baochai be her daughter-in-law. And Yingchun's marriage, it is Jia Lian's father and mother who are in charge, if I have any objections, the mother-in-law who usually looks at me very unpleasantly will not be able to shoot me to death, after many years of resentment, I estimate that if she can have *, then she will definitely not hesitate to be the first to smash me and destroy me.
And now there is another problem, I have to think about my own situation first, find a way back for myself, I haven't swept the snow in front of my door, so don't expect to sweep other people's roads.
Wang'er came in and bowed: "What is grandma doing when you call the little one?"
"There are some things I want to ask you about the village, you check the details of our farm, and go back and forth to me before dinner. But you have to check carefully, I can't talk back when the time comes, and I don't follow you. ”
"Yes, the little ones will go and check, grandma rest assured. He said, "Does Grandma have any other commands?"
I glanced at him: "Your name is Xing'er, let's go and ...... the house in Xiaohuazhi Lane" I stopped halfway through my words, I wanted to say that I would pick up a little bit and sell it to count, but after thinking about it, I said: "Clean up and lock it up first, I may need it in the future." ”
Wang'er agreed to go down, I counted the days, and Jia Lian should come back from Ping'an Prefecture. It takes half a month to go back and forth from the capital to Ping'an Prefecture without doing other things, and he is not embarrassed to run errands for Jia Yu this time, but it is cumbersome.
It's a real headache, and the top priority is to deal with him first. But this person is so, and with Second Sister You coming back and Qiu Tong, he shouldn't come to me...... Well, I can't think about it, I get goosebumps all over my body, and my stomach is still churning, so I'm not depressed.
In Jia's mother's words, Jia Lian, this person is a nasty seed, lustful, and everything dirty and smelly is pulled into the house, who knows if he has flower willow disease!
I pondered like this, Ping'er had already watched people close the windows and put the curtains on the lamp.
"Grandma, dinner is ready, will it be served?"
I nodded, Ping'er went out to pass the meal, and after a while, two girls came in with the table. Ping'er cleaned her hands and came over to make a bowl of soup for me: "This is the hot and sour soup that grandma named to drink, and the kitchen made it for Tete." ”
I smiled and nodded: "You can also sit down and eat, taste this soup, it's very warm to drink this when it's cold." ”
She sat down on the other side of the kang table and ate with me.
I suddenly remembered that this is only the two of us, so it is casual, if Jia Lian is here, although he is not a thing, but according to the etiquette of this ghost place, he is still my leader, if he is here, I am afraid I will have to Zhang Luo for him like Ping'er, to show respect......
The more I think about it, the more unappetizing I feel, it's really boring to be a woman in this era. How do you say that? Life is not a woman's body, and it is really true that a hundred years of bitterness and happiness are left to others, and this is the situation in this world.
Although Jia Lian is not a thing, I think of someone who is even less of a thing than him. Sun Shaozu, the future husband of Yingchun, beat and scolded her to death as the well-dressed beast.
As soon as I thought of this, my originally good appetite could not be improved, so I ate half a bowl of rice and drank two small bowls of soup. Ping'er watched them remove the table and said, "Grandma, do you want to put your hair down and loosen your clothes?" ”
I nodded: "You're tired for a day, don't just busy me, you can take off your outer clothes yourself, no one else anyway." ”
Ping'er agreed, helped me take off the hairpin rings and velvet flowers on my head, fetched water to let me wash my face, and I looked carefully in the mirror on the makeup.
It seems to be quite different from the look after applying makeup. may be the eyebrows drawn, the lips are red, Wang Xifeng is naturally beautiful after makeup, but it looks a little sharp in that beauty. Now the hair is also draped, the rouge on the lips and the powder on the face have been washed off, the face is not so flat, the eyebrows and eyes are not so sharp, and it looks ...... People seem much weaker and more delicate. But as soon as the makeup is removed, the tiredness on the face cannot be concealed.
Usually Sister Feng paints such a bright makeup, does she also have the meaning of using this as a layer of defense......? The handsome King of Lanling has to wear a ghost face when he goes into battle, and the women have to fight in battle, and they also have to wear beautiful clothes and a thick layer of rouge?
"What are you looking at in the mirror?" Ping'er looked at me in the mirror, she also untied her hair, she had a small makeup box, put the jewelry and wigs that had been removed in it, and then put it in the cabinet, hung the cabinet door with a small copper tether, and put the teapot with hot water into the basket, covered it with a thick warm lid to keep it warm, and prepared to pour water at night so as not to get cold.
"By the way, Ping'er, I remember that there is a cabinet of books in the West House that your second master put there before, right?"
"Yes, but when I cleaned up the house, I piled it up in the back of the house. Because the second master was not at home, my grandmother also instructed me that day, when the second master came back, I would pack up all the old books that had not been read for years and send them to the big study outside. ”
I have a vague impression. After all, these things were done by the original Sister Feng, I didn't know, and now I think about it, and my impression is very weak.
"Let's take it out for the past two days, dry it and dust it off, and then prepare some paper and pencil or something...... "Of course, I can't say that I want to read, so I found a reason by the way: "Sister Qiao should also know a few words, it's always bad to know a word, and it's inconvenient to manage the bookkeeper in the future." ”
Ping'er smiled and agreed, "Grandma thinks about the suffering of being illiterate, so she wants Miss Qiao to learn to read earlier?"
I also smiled and relaxed myself on the pillow: "If you want to talk about fighting, the Xiucai who has read books can't beat the farmer who hasn't read." But there are times when the literate are better. ”
"What Grandma said is that although there is a saying that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. However, it is also a good thing that a woman can read and write, and she can manage her family. But it's easy to take out the book, who will teach Miss Qiao?"
I said, "I'll teach it first, anyway, I can recognize all the words on the top of the Three Character Sutra." ”
Ping'er agreed, saying, "I'll go and see if the courtyard door is closed, tell them to drop the lock, and everyone who should go to the house will disperse." ”
I nodded, and suddenly heard the voice of the little girl in the yard say, "Oh, Second Master Bao is here." ”
