Chapter 25: Selected
After this quarrel, Osmanthus went to the grandmother on the door and asked her to buy a small box and a small copper lock, and locked all the valuables inside.
Fifty dollars less, not a decimal, can be reported to the housekeeper for this, asking for a large-scale search, and it is a small fuss, she told Zheng Pozi about this, saying that she was a thief, and there was something missing, Zheng Pozi immediately scolded in her mouth: "The cheap hooves of the thief's bones," and after scolding, she persuaded her again: "It must be to see that you have a good job and a lot of money, and now don't make trouble, let's think about it again." ”
Shi Gui's original intention was not to make trouble, so he deliberately took the box into the house, opened the box and put things in the lock, and everyone in the room saw it, and she was easy-going, but she was just a good person, and she couldn't be provoked if she didn't think about it, so they all lowered their heads.
Shi Gui knew that she had shouted about this, and these few people said a lot of things next to each other, shaking the copper clanging while saying, "Which one said that I was not stolen, which one is the real thief." ”
As soon as these words came out, several girls looked at a person, Shi Gui followed the line of sight to find someone, looked at her, put the box in the cabinet, and there was nothing to think of, it turned out that she was not short of money, the best food in the house was Shi Gui, and the best wearing was the incense button.
Shi Gui wants to send money home, these are all known, she saved some and asked her grandmother to go to the account room to change, changed the silver beads back, saved to this time there are also five coins, covered with copper, the man touched it and did not dare to reach out, the house knew that only Shi Gui saved silver beads.
It's over, Shi Gui is alone, she originally told these people that she can't go together, less work for entertainment, and more knots, and the merchant comes back, so he puts some snacks, which is considered to be the money for running errands, three Rao Yiwen, it was originally a small business, and thirty can be more than ten yuan if they change hands, otherwise they will not be willing to carry the goods on this trip.
Shi Gui still has the heart to let Qiu Niang's stone father enter the city, no matter how bitter the city is, it is better than the countryside, if there is a few taels of silver to settle in, Qiu Niang does not have to pick flowers and pick tea, and Shi Dad does not have to go to the boat.
Shi Gui got acquainted with the merchant, called him a little brother, and asked him if he would run to Sweetwater Town, and he smiled: "You have to go there to buy goods, and this is the sweetwater." Shi Gui raised his eyebrows, annoying him to go to Mrs. Chen's place, the same is walking through the streets and alleys, and going there is just a turnaround.
Tie a handful of sun-dried bamboo shoots and bring them to Mrs. Chen, as well as two uppers, she learned to embroider, can do some miscellaneous patterns, wrapped up is a ceremony, a can of pickled honey and plum marinade, but it is a craft in the kitchen, and you can't eat it outside.
Pressed a letter at the bottom, she wrote it with an eyebrow pencil, did not write for many years, reported two sentences of peace, said that it was written by a literate person in the house, and begged Mrs. Chen to send her a letter back, the merchant saw that she was young and sold as a girl and remembered the family, patted his chest: "Don't worry, I will send it to you." ”
When she came back a few days later, Shi Gui was already waiting at the door, and the merchant nodded when he saw her: "I sent the things, and Aunt Chen asked me to say thank you." ”
The merchant was born black, but his eyebrows were upright, he often came and went, and he sold the things of the girl's house, and the grandmother sat by the door, and only let the little girl come out, and when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was not allowed to get close.
But this rule is set to death, but people live, and the grandmother is not always there, as soon as she is far away, the little girl's family can not be moved by the things that carry the flowers, and when she sees no one, she jumps out, and there is a girl in the inner courtyard who Shi Gui has seen a few times, and the merchant has a pair of eyes, and her face is red.
Shi Gui frowned, if he caused trouble, the unlucky one would be Mrs. Sun, so she quickly thanked her again, entered the door and found Mrs. Sun in the ear room, and after noon, she was making a mistake, and then she snored, so that Shi Gui woke up, she nodded to the door: "The merchant is here, mom look, there are many people today." ”
Grandma Sun put off her shoes, tied her skirt and strapped, and went out on the other hand, a drink was like a bird scattering, she not only drank but also scolded: "I can't tell the inside and outside, the Buddha who closes his eyes is not afraid, and the King Kong who opens his eyes is not afraid!" The little girls giggled, and some of them blushed and went back.
The merchant bent his waist to pay for it, and gave his grandmother a silver-plated rouge box: "Thank you mother for taking care of the business." Grandma Sun stretched out her hand to take it, sat down on the little pestle, took something and didn't care about it, and couldn't get out of the stubble in front of her.
Although the matter was not done, the relationship could not be broken, Mrs. Zheng often made some small dishes for Shi Gui to carry the food box to send, and fell into a room of girls' houses, that is, she sent the drill camp, more and more things to say, Shi Gui also ignored people, and every time he sent it over, he also said some flattering words, and those who had not seen it all recognized it.
When she came back, she couldn't help but hear two cold words, according to her original temper, she was bound to quarrel, but after all these years in the countryside, the edges and corners were slowly rounded, and she rolled her eyes and glared at her, in the end, what is the child, where can she stand up like this, I am afraid that she will really jump up, and I bite my lip and dare not say it in front of her.
Mrs. Zheng was willing to put down her blood, marinated the pig's ears and nose, and put the duck legs and chicken breasts in the saucer, and dug up a jar of fruit wine, buried it for more than a year, and went in with the wine to give the housekeeper a tooth sacrifice, and earned an errand for Shi Gui to go to Tongxian Temple to do chores.
This is a matter of showing his face, as a dojo you have to go to live in the fairy temple for two or three days, and the clansmen of the Song family come to pay respects, but it is an unavoidable communication, only the little Taoist priest before and after can't speak, and there have to be a few girls who run errands.
Mrs. Zheng raised her face to the osmanthus ear, telling her to be smarter, her eyes and ears were sharp, and there was something running in her head, she also knew that Chunyan had always liked Shi Gui, and asked her to go to the front again: "Let her see that your legs and feet are diligent." ”
Shi Gui responded one by one, and asked Mrs. Zheng what this Jiao was doing, and Mrs. Zheng smacked her lips: "It's for the uncle, you don't inquire about this." ”
The Song family came back to say that it was summer, but in fact it was to pray for the Song family's uncle, and he was in his hometown and his family's Taoist temple Tongxian Temple for his immortal tablet, and the two dojos were done together, and the Taoist priest who was enshrined made green words on the green vine paper, for the three Qing to knock on the Jade Emperor, and also had to write Nuogao, and then burned it after the Jiao.
The uncle of the Song family, was born in August, passed away for a total of 17 years, when he was alive, he had calculated his fate, saying that he was not a good year when he broke seven years ago, and he was really seventeen years old when he died.
Since the father of the old lady Song, this immortal view is there, and the old Taoist priest in it is the surname Song, and I don't know how old he is, and a white beard can go around his waist.
The Song family has been an official for many years, and the old lady of Song has a prosperous official fortune, so it is said that it is enshrined well in the Tongxian Temple, and the Song family lives in this branch, and there are some descendants surnamed Song at the foot of the mountain.
The old Taoist priest refused to move the place, and had to come back to fight Jiao, only saying that he did have some magical powers, and he couldn't slack off, and the old lady was the same, the Taoist priest had to make green words to knock the Jade Emperor, the words were poor, and her son would not suffer in the underworld.
People have been dead for seventeen years, and their bodies have turned into soil, but how can they forget when they are mothers, even the old lady Song also said that those younger generations are not as good as their own sons who have passed away, and they have to do a lot of life every year, not to mention that they have been waiting for Jiao for many years, this matter is not only in charge of their own family, but also let the Ye family supervise it, for this, Song Erye has been hiding in the courtyard of the second room for several months, and he has not come to the courtyard of the big house.
Tongxian Temple is in the mountains, the Song family has paid for it for many years, built a big shadow wall, there is an inner guide bridge at the door, the virtual emperor altar is set up in the three gates, for the three Qing ancestors, the east and the west are for the seventy-two star monarchs, and a small stage is built in it, which is to sing and reward the gods.
The things that are going to do the dojo are not handed over to the hands of the Wang Steward, and they are indeed brought by their own families, so I am afraid that the Wang Steward will do his best, and the set of guys is complete, only for Zhiguan and Xiaodao to make a new Taoist robe, and for Song Lao Zhenren, it is the embroidered fairy crane net ten regiment robes woven by the birds.
This dress alone can be worth hundreds of taels, not to mention the new gold wheel and silver wheel magnetic wheel, as well as silver horses, silver elephants, silver fish and silver snails, plus a square bottle Ruyi, make up an eight treasures auspicious.
In the past few days, the kitchen has made big meat dishes, and the meat and greasy can no longer be stained with meat and greasy for a month before the Jiao, Mrs. Song is sincere, and the rules have been done ten, it is just a vegetarian diet, she wants the people in this house to be vegetarian for her son, needless to say in the garden, the old house also set a vegetarian day, if someone is caught in violation, the first cane forty and then thrown out.
If you dare to disobey the heavy punishment, as soon as you enter July, you have to touch the oil of these meats, except for the meat, and the garlic, ginger and onions are also broken.
After the first month, there was no oil and water on the tongue, and the people at this time were not able to eat, and there were many people in the family, who could eat a pig at a meal, and the lard was fried in the kitchen, and this thing was frozen, and a spoonful was dug up, scooped on the hot rice that was just stewed, and then mixed with autumn oil, which was very delicious, but at this time it had to be all sealed.
Shi Gui knew that there was something hidden in the small soup can, and the kitchen would be checked in the future, Zheng Pozi quickly hid the porcelain canned food in her own house, covered it with old cloth and buckled it with a bamboo basket, if people knew that she put these in the vegetarian diet, she was afraid that the errand would not be guaranteed, and she would have to be beaten, and there would always be people spying in and out, not to mention that Zheng Pozi was good, how many eyes could not let go of her and waited for the thorns.
She hid the oil block, and made it not so fresh on the Luohan Shangsu, and sent it up a few times, and she could eat half of it first, and then moved a few chopsticks slightly, if she lost all her skills, she would not be able to remember her when she returned to the old house.
Mrs. Zheng wanted to do it again secretly, and almost asked someone to catch it, but she dug up a spoonful and didn't bring out a can, and when she saw someone coming, she swallowed it in her stomach and ate such a bite, and she pulled it all night at night, and her legs were soft on the second day, her face was vegetable, and she secretly complained in her heart, if she didn't shine again, Ye's didn't want vegetables there, she was bound to stay, could she not retire in another garden?
Shi Gui also knew that she was embarrassed, at this time Mrs. Zheng was closely related to her, remembering the mushroom essence she had eaten, which was always vegetarian, so she tried to take the dried mushrooms and chop them and grind them into powder, add sugar and salt to the powder and grind them again, grind out a can of brown powder, and let Mrs. Zheng try to take this seasoning.
Mrs. Zheng tried it once, although it was not as fresh as chicken soup, in the end, it tasted good, plus star anise, small mountain mushrooms, and small pine mushrooms, the taste was better, this thing did not stick to the oil flowers, and I don't know what it was made of.
The meat food in the garden slowly stopped, and even the birthday of the third girl at the end of June was also a table of vegetarian noodles, Shi Gui sent a cold cake as usual, and Ye's head rewarded a set of clothes and a set of noodles for the three girls, and the carmine and red gold jacket skirt were taken out and brilliant, Song Zezhi rewarded the mother-in-law who sent the clothes, and Shi Gui also got a few money.
When she came back, the little girl was waiting for her by the door, and grabbed Shi Gui: "Sister has good luck, hurry up to Mother Zheng." Shi Gui didn't know what a good thing was, and trotted all the way to Mrs. Zheng, and when Mrs. Zheng saw her, she hugged her into her arms: "My son, say that you are a blessed person, you asked your wife to pick it, and you will go into the courtyard today." ”
