Shi Gui listened to this question and knew that Mrs. Zheng wanted to listen to flattery and say something uplifting to calm her heart, but she was afraid that she would take it seriously, so she muttered for a while, and still told the truth: "My parents and family are here, and if they are far away from here, they won't be able to come back." ”

What she said was from her heart, and Mrs. Zheng laughed when she heard it: "After becoming a girl, what other parents and family members will sell you out, and still expect you to go back? He shook his head as he spoke, laughing at her for being a little stupid.

The girls who bought into the house have this experience, they still miss their parents for a year or two, and they can think about themselves in three or four years, and they will drink blood by their parents all their lives, and they can't save a penny.

"My mother said that she would redeem me. Thinking that Qiu Niang had been following her outside the village, thinking of Xizi's eyes shining and calling her sister, and thinking of Father Shi pulling a flower cloth back for her without saying a word, it is better for the family to eat porridge than to eat dry rice here to see people's faces.

Mrs. Zheng was frying the sauce, the peeled beans and dried beans and diced meat and bamboo shoots were boiled together with the sauce, boiling the room full of aroma, and the chopsticks took one out to taste, afraid that her mouth was salty, so let Shi Gui eat, looked at her and said: "Which one comes in and doesn't say that, the cardamom next to the wife, saying that he wants to redeem himself and go back to marry, the wife should also go down, the dowry was prepared two years earlier, what's the matter now? ”

Shi Gui asked the bamboo shoots to be scalded, licked with his tongue, and wanted to listen, but Mrs. Zheng didn't say it anymore, since she made up her mind to go back, she had to bring two helpers, the kitchen was a place where there were many disputes, and she hadn't gone back for a few years, and she had already changed the leader, and if she didn't bring a pair of eyes and ears, how could she stand up.

Shi Gui regretted worshipping her godmother at this time, if she had come two months earlier, she would not have worshiped this godmother, but now she has become a parent, if she wants to leave, her family will not follow.

The grapes sent a piece of water, and they didn't come back until the sauce was boiled, so Mrs. Zheng put the sauce in a big bowl, buckled another bowl on the top, and covered it with a bamboo cover, and sighed twice: "Look at her, that's the one who is motivated." ”

Grape came back after a while, turning the thin silver bracelet on his wrist, and saw Shi Gui glancing at her proudly: "This is a reward from Sister Chunyan, saying that it is to thank you for running errands to buy brown sugar for her." ”

Open it to see, it is also a thin silver bracelet, Shi Gui has not spoken, the grape has already shown the one on her wrist, the silver is also divided into thickness, the coarse silver is just a little silver, it is not priced, the one given by Chunyan is fine silver, and there are two tangled branches engraved on it, a bracelet of seven or eight dollars of silver, plus the labor cost is always one or two.

Shi Gui took the bracelet into the small box, washed her feet and went to bed, and said that Mrs. Zheng said that in the future, the big girl can give these things at will in her hands, just this silver bracelet will be calculated according to the monthly money, and she will have to get one in ten months, and this bracelet can be worth one-fifth of her worth of silver.

At night, the grapes turned over and turned but couldn't sleep, knocked on the bed board and asked Shi Gui if he slept, Shi Gui couldn't sleep, biting his fingers and getting distracted, Chen Niangzi hadn't sent a letter there, just looking forward to seeing Qiu Niang.

After replying to the grape, she opened her mouth and said: "You haven't seen it, those things are really something you haven't seen before!" She was fascinated, and at the same time flattened her mouth: "Sister Chunyan is also a girl, look at her style, say that she eats, the godmother spends so much effort to clean up so many dishes, saying that she wants to sleep, and she has to pull the curtain and spread the quilt. ”

It is already spring under the mountain, the mountain wind blows but it is still cold, the people who came did not bring jackets, Chunyan called Danzhu to the ready-to-wear shop in the town at noon, picked up the good one first, the grapes listened to it and pumped, which of their clothes is not made by themselves, the ready-to-wear shop outside, or just buy two, this is still picky and not wearable.

She just looked at the clothes of the two bamboos and stone chrysanthemums, and then looked at Chunyan, and asked if it was also from the house, and Danzhu smiled:

"That's what my wife gave her to wear. Saying that, he glanced at Shi Ju and the two, laughed at her village spirit, and felt good when she saw a handkerchief and beads.

The silver bracelet was originally given to Shi Gui, but she couldn't hold it in her hand, Chunyan laughed "fluttering", and turned out another one for her, the grapes were elated, but the two bit their lips and laughed at her.

Danzhu Shiju also asked her to carry water in the morning, the grapes were all right, pinched the bracelet and lay on the bed, and the bracelet was hot: "When I came in, the family said it was a good place, I still don't believe it, if I go to the old house, it will be a good place." ”

Shi Gui replied to her sullenly: "You take care of the errand, as long as the godmother goes back, you have to bring someone." She turned over, and the small box of money was placed next to her pillow, even if she could save money when she went to the old house, who would redeem her when the time came.

There are so many people in the garden, and the popularity is booming all of a sudden, it turns out that there is no one walking around in the corridor for half a day, and this time there is a lot of coming and going, and the things that are taken out of the warehouse to wash and dry are all placed in the house, and the windows are pasted with new curtains, and the color is picked by Chunyan, the eldest lady likes plain white, and the eldest young master likes green bamboo, and the two girls are smoky.

After many trips back and forth, Shi Gui also saw that Chunyan only took care of the big room, and never paid attention to the second room, and the people in the big room came, it turned out that these were not stupid, and they swarmed to Mama Gao to offer their courtesy, and the rooms of the big house were almost done, and the small furnishings of the incense burner and bottle were laid out, and the second room did not even change the window paper.

Grape whispered to Mrs. Zheng, she was a little shrewd, she wanted to drill into the big room, and ran more and more diligently, Mrs. Zheng snorted coldly: "That's the room, how can Mrs. meddle in." ”

Poke out the matter of the eldest young master is the second lady, the two are not harmonious with each other, this is inevitable, it is said that it is a concubine, the one who waits is a husband, one after the other has a son and daughter, there are more things to compare, the official position of the Ye family is there, no matter how low the Gan family is, how can it be compared to the Ye family.

Ye's never took her seriously, Gan's planted a big heel on her, how could she not be angry, Mrs. Zheng handed the food box to Shi Gui: "You go to deliver snacks, don't talk too much, this is not something we should ask." ”

The work of delivering food was given to Shi Gui, and when she went back, she not only had food but also reward, Chunyan spoke softly, was kind, and her hands were loose, small fans fell with small ear beads, and there were many small things in bits and pieces. ”

Shi Gui didn't know how to get into Chunyan's eyes, obviously the grapes were the ones who came up to laugh, Chunyan asked her if she only had one thing to say, and if she couldn't say it, she shook her head and pretended not to know.

Or Shi Ju told her: "Do you remember that you brought halva last time?" After receiving something, it is natural to return something, the people who come from the old house are particular about eating, and often ask Shi Gui to run errands to buy this and that, the dishes in the kitchen are more than twice as good, chicken, duck and fish are available every day, and her cheeks are rounded.

Since she can often go down the mountain, she orders goods from the ship, and she can often bring some small things, and last time, she bought a box of halva for the lady and gave it to Chunyan for snacks.

Chunyan glanced at her at this time, she only felt that she was duty, her eyes did not roll around, she didn't say much, and then she knew that she still had the intention of returning the courtesy, and praised her in front of the two of Danzhu: "Don't look at this girl's young age, but she is an understanding person." ”

Shi Ju is also surnamed Shi for Shi Gui, a Shi Ju and a Shi Gui, it seems to be a good match, and he feels that he has a fate with her, but he is closer to her, Shi Gui heard her say the reason, and his face turned red: "I eat and take, but I returned a box of sugar, and it is difficult for Sister Chunyan to remember." ”

Shi Ju nodded her nose: "Which one is not eating and taking, and I am serious about my own memorization, how many are there?"

The two of them sat under the porch and talked, let the grapes see in their eyes, and when they went back, they scraped her with their eyes: "Someone said skillfully with his mouth, and he used a knife behind his back, and said in front of me that he wanted to go home, why did he go to offer his courtesy?"

Shi Gui was lazy to ignore her, yesterday I asked Mrs. Confucius to go to Mrs. Chen's house and ask Xin'er, ask Shi Daddy's back injury if he is healed, and the grapes will pick up the fire again, she will not take the stubble, the grapes are boring, scolding her for suffocating in the belly, refusing to meet her again, and even snatching the errand of delivering food.

Shi Gui had to let her go, not to Chunyan, and a few mothers-in-law who came with her, so she was not used to coming up the mountain to live, running errands for them, and also entering the account, and she liked to talk about some things in the old mansion in her spare time, and listened to many rules, so she knew that the garden was really a clean place

Finish.

She works fast and doesn't complain, and those mothers-in-law like to tell her that they can give her a share of the bath beans they buy, and tell her: "It's just right for your age, I think that one is old, and there is no good future when he enters the house." ”

A good future is to wait in front of the master, Shi Gui then knew that he had returned to the old house, and he had to go to the discipline grandmother to learn the rules, and after learning the rules, he could enter the garden on an errand.

Shi Gui still held on to hope, if Mrs. Zheng only brought one person back, wouldn't the grapes be just right, she was willing, she had been following Mrs. Zheng for a long time, and she was older and had more places to help, no matter how she looked at it, she was a good candidate, and when she went back, she told the grapes everything she knew.

Grape looked at her and was suspicious, Shi Gui endured his anger and said: "I want to go home, I can't live by selling me, and my father and mother still want to redeem me." ”

The grape nose snorted out, she no longer believed that the daughter who was sold could still be redeemed and returned home, it was all sold, what else could it do, but if Shi Gui was not motivated, she would not be revealed, and she also coaxed Shi Gui with some sweet words: "Don't worry, I will intercede for you, when will someone come to your family?"

Chen Niangzi also brought a letter over, this way of changing hands, I'm afraid it didn't turn into Qiu Niang's ears, the words didn't go, let alone things, the small clothes she made for Xizi, the waist guard made for Shi Dad, and the shoes made for Qiu Niang, save these, I don't know when I can bring them to my family.

Grape saw that it touched her heart, knowing that she was still thinking of her family, and comforted her in a loud voice: "Don't worry, it's both mountains and water, and it's too late to turn the letter, you save it first, maybe you can save up the money you ransome!"

It's still cold at night on the mountain, Chunyan's house is going to get a charcoal basin, and the two of them bring a charcoal basin to add charcoal to her, and light a lamp every other time on the way back, the wind on the corridor is poured, and the clothes are still red on the nose, Chunyan saw that the two of them were very frozen, frowned, and sued Gao Sheng's family on the second day, and sent a letter in the afternoon, saying that they would make another set of winter clothes for the people here in the East Courtyard.

The person assigned to the West Courtyard sighed, but there was nothing to complain about, Ye's dowry did not know how many times the Gan family's dowry, and even the girls who came here had these pieces of silver in their hands, and they had to add and make up everywhere, and they didn't take the account of the king's steward.

Shi Gui went a few times, saw Chunyan holding a booklet, a thin bamboo pen dipped in ink, wrote two words of winter clothes, and wrote down the number, and wrote neatly, Shi Gui rarely looked at it a few more times, □□ Yan looked up and saw: "What? You are also literate?"
