Chapter 22: Intentions
In such a big family, Shi Gui didn't believe that there was only one cardamom, she laughed and asked again: "Except for Aunt Qian, there is no one else?"
Xiangkou glanced at her suspiciously, Shi Gui sent the peeled peanut kernels to her, she bit and ate it and said: "Two years earlier, there is still a glass that will also be released." ”
Cardamom is a big girl, but this glass doesn't know who it is, no need Shi Gui to ask, if you don't know, ask if you don't know, Xiangkou grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to her, let her help peel out the kernels, and they picked and ate them one by one: "Sister Liuli is waiting for the old lady, and when she is old, her father and mother come to beg, the old lady thinks of her duty over the years, and she doesn't want to be worth the silver, so she went out to marry a small trader, and sent things to the old lady during the holidays." ”
Inquiring sentence by sentence, Shi Gui slowly drew a table in his heart, the top was Dou Xuan, she was going to go out, or to marry someone in the scenery, but somehow she became a concubine, the eldest lady gave the Dou Xuan family a hundred taels of silver, and let Liang be a concubine.
followed by Liuli, and then there were two or three behind, and the incense button sighed while talking, saying that the Song family was merciful, and if they changed to another family, there was no such good thing.
Except for the bean pluton, which is a first-class girl, the rest are second-class in the master's room, and it is good to be honest and do their duty to let it out, but Shi Gui asked deeply, and he knew that it was a happy event in the family, or in a big festival, or a seal, or something given by a saint, and there was such a thing, so that he could ask for grace.
"This is rare decency, we don't have to think about it, which one of them is not a second-class girl, and she can still ask for grace with a green skin and a white face. June added, and then said no more.
She said this, and there were a few interfaces: "No, it must be the master who has a head and face in front of him, then it works, not only to release it, but also to give some money to settle down, and the wife has a hair, which is thicker than our waist." ”
Several girls sighed once, thinking about the scenery of the big girl, chewed two petals of Xianling, and said that there would be a dish to be rewarded in the summer solstice festival, and pulled Shi Gui: "You are in the kitchen, you have to leave some good ones for us." ”
Shi Gui responded with a smile, lowered his head and tied the rope in his hand in a knot, turned it over and strung it on the line, and there was no girl who was released on an errand in the outer courtyard.
If there is only this road to go, then you have to draw a path yourself, you have to be familiar with the face in front of the master's house, some connections, you should be good at ordinary times, you can't stand out of the ordinary, and then you encounter a happy event, and you will be ten out of ten if you let it out.
The little girls were noisy, and there was a louder drum outside, and when it was time to turn off the lights, the mothers-in-law who patrolled the room knocked twice on the door, quickly blew the oil lamp in the house, and each climbed into bed, shrank in the quilt and whispered in a low voice.
Although the mountain is shady, there are many mosquitoes and flies, and the wormwood smoked mosquitoes, the smell in the house is not good, the window is opened to breathe, Shi Gui came early, and was on an errand in the small kitchen, and the bed by the window belonged to her, she pillowed on the pillow, and drew circles on the quilt with her fingers.
Outside the errand, whether it is the kitchen or sprinkling and sweeping, only the master can't remember, saying that the person is matched, the oil and water are big, and he can't stay for a long time, so he has to go inside, earn a second-class, save money, save friendship, and find a way out.
Thinking so, he sighed deeply, now five taels of silver, it is not difficult to come, just the things that his wife rewards, about a touch can be worth two or three taels, but at that time, it was the life of the family, and there was no other way but to sell himself.
Shi Gui looked at the stains on the window, took a breath of cold air poured in from the crack in the window, pulled the quilt and only showed a pair of eyes, stared at the layers of tree shadows on the window paper, and set a goal for himself in his heart, but how could he be promoted to the second class before he became married?
When she entered the garden, Shi Gui only thought about saving money on an errand and earning some bits and pieces to redeem herself, and then she was beaten by the golden finch, what she thought was not to enter the garden and not to take care of things, save money to redeem herself, and when the Song family came, she wanted to be able to enter the courtyard as a second-class person, save money and save connections to redeem herself.
If you have a head, you have to come up with a way to implement it, insurance is the most important thing, recklessly crashing into it, the future of people everywhere is different, Shi Gui feels that he still knows too little, and he needs to know more about the people and things in the mansion before he can take a step.
Shi Gui simply took out a plain handkerchief, saying that it was to practice embroidery, and painted flowers and leaves on it, and the missing arms and legs were painted in circles, and the top was the old lady Song, entering her house, it was not easy, but the people who could be released were the best according to the treatment.
Thinking at night, I also thought during the day, a basket of zongzi was wrapped and sent in, Shi Gui wrapped red velvet thread for the small zongzi in the brocade box, and was distracted, the status of the old lady was high, and the second master Song couldn't make up his mind, he was not a serious mother, he didn't dare to make a mistake, whether it was decent or undecent, he couldn't stretch out his hand.
But the old lady's yard is the most difficult to enter, she is just a rough messenger in the small kitchen at this time, and she has some blue eyes with Mrs. Zheng, and she can save on errands, but it is not easy to enter the old lady's house.
For the rest, Aunt Qian is also half a slave, Aunt Qian said that she is good, and she can't be her own master, Aunt Yao and Aunt Wang are still slaves, not to mention, just look at which of the two girls is more pampered and has a better temperament, and where to work hard.
There is no such dignity in the aunt's courtyard, and it is really difficult to enter the wife's house, and the eldest young master accidentally becomes a person in the room, so only the two girls can still work hard in the house, she has the advantage of the location at this time, but I don't know if the time and people can get together.
The two girls said in the house that there is no shortage of manpower is false, the quality of the official travel, the boat has specifications, the draft is heavy, how many things can be carried and how many people can be carried, it all depends on the size of the ship.
The Song family has been an official for generations, and the old lady Song doesn't say it, the old lady Song is also an official girl, and the pomp and circumstance of going out is naturally different.
If Shi Gui makes a lot of effort into the courtyard of the two girls, maybe she will really go in, and she will start from the rough, she is still fat, and someone will be willing to do it.
Shi Gui remembered that he had filled in the college entrance examination at this time, there were first and second, and he had to see where there was a shortage of people, and he could go up, so he made up his mind, and then took the safest path, Shi Gui inquired about what the two girls loved and didn't love, and said that he was afraid that he would be a taboo.
But these two girls, although they are young, have few hobbies, and it is difficult to even follow the road of their favorites, she inquired for a long time, except that they were extremely well-behaved, and there was nothing to do.
The two girls landed together and grew up together, and the Ye family didn't let the two aunts touch their hands, so they handed them over to the nurse and grandmother to raise, and when they reached the age rules
moment, and learn some piano and chess elegance, Su Rili only in front of the Ye family and Mrs. Song, and also followed a kneeling scripture copying.
At a young age, he was raised steadily, and he didn't like to eat meat, so he became two little laymen at home, and most of the dishes were vegetarians on weekdays.
If it weren't for the fact that she was really young, she would have gone to meat food a long time ago, or the old lady Song opened her mouth, saying that her two granddaughters were still young, and they were not allowed to wear plain clothes and eat vegetarian food.
Advocating Buddhism and advocating Taoism began with the old lady, the old lady Song did not believe this, saying that he believed in the Confucian sage, and he had never set up a small Buddha hall Taoist statue, or his own son was gone, so he was relieved.
Mrs. Song believed in Buddhism at that time, and she was afraid that her son would be young and lost some debts to be repaid, so she placed a small Buddha hall in the house, and there was a quiet view in the house, where the female Taoist Yin Ling lived, and she was specially invited to come home to pray for blessings and Jiao.
Shi Gui didn't work hard to go up, but he recognized it, and the dishes and snacks sent to the girl were her errands, and after seeing these two girls a few times, she became familiar with the Zilou Shuiyun in the courtyard.
I haven't heard more than a word, I raised it like a mud fetus Bodhisattva, the little girl loves the same and don't touch, except for the invitation to copy the scriptures, it is to draw flowers and embroidery on the south window, and even the bite is as light, she specially made the sugar lotus seeds, all called a few little girls to share.
Yu Rong's room is a purple building jade board, Zezhi's room is a water cloud red clothes, there are few people and siblings, and there is nothing to please the two, Shi Gui wants to enter this courtyard, but it is a little difficult to do.
She ran diligently three or five times, and Mrs. Zheng immediately realized that she was thinking about going home, and she thought that she was giving a generous reward in the yard, and the grapes entered the yard again, which also touched her heart.
Shi Gui felt obediently, everything did not leak, and every time he got a reward, he showed her the reward. Mrs. Zheng saw that she was expected to go back, and she no longer asked for her money, and when Osmanthus asked if there were many fewer people in it, Mrs. Zheng stretched out her hand and poked her forehead: "Say you are smart, why are you stupid again!"
Shi Gui only told her to see through it, and just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Zheng nodded at her, sat on top of the small pestle, and beckoned her to beat her legs: "What are you doing in front of those two girls, those two are not born to my wife." ”
Ye is a cold person, he is also indifferent, he can't laugh a few times a year, and he looks the same way for his son, let alone for his two daughters, the upbringing is not bad, but if you want to be close, her son can't take her turn, not to mention that these two are not out of her belly.
It's so cold and far away, and they have done enough rules not to provoke people, so the two girls don't dare to spoil and spoil this and that: "The two girls should have what they should have, and they shouldn't have it, not to mention that they don't dare to ask for it, even the two aunts don't dare to make trouble, you go to be a man with your tail between your legs, why bother to be this errand!"
There is also a sentence that Mrs. Zheng didn't say, how old is Osmanthus, if she really marries with the two girls, she can't say that she is a person in the room, and she is the same as a person in the room, so it is better to work the eldest young master.
While thinking so, she looked at her with her eyes, Shi Gui was born well, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, all kinds of signs, and a pear vortex when she laughed, if she was raised, it would be no worse than cardamom.
Mrs. Zheng's heart turned around, but she didn't show her meaning, and patted her hand: "If you want to go into the yard, I'll think for you, run around like a headless fly, cause trouble for me, and see if I care about you." ”
It turned out that there were few people, and Mrs. Zheng treated them very loosely, but at this time, she scratched her, Shi Gui then remembered that she recognized Mrs. Zheng as her godmother, where to go, it doesn't count if she says it herself.
