Grape scattered her hair and slept on the bed, I didn't see her combing her hair in the mirror today, Shi Gui also glanced at the bed, she rested for a long time, this half a day's work was done by Grape alone, seeing that she hadn't slept yet, thank you: "Sister Ming'er, don't get up, I'll go to the courtyard to deliver food and water, you can rest for a while." ”

Grape replied sullenly, after a long time, Shi Gui turned the bracelet and pressed the skirt made by Qiu Niang under the pillow, there were tears in her eyes again, and suddenly heard Grape speak: "Your mother, do you really want to redeem you?"

Shi Gui responded, guessing in her heart that she was not at ease, and she had to compete with her before she had to speak, but she didn't know that the grapes suddenly snorted coldly: "As far as you die, it's very good to go out, you are cold and hungry, you can't eat meat once a year, you can't make clothes, there are two sets of meat in the house, and your father and mother can get one piece in the field for a year?"

Grape is still young, but some shrewdness is also on the face, so that people can see through it at a glance, I have never heard her talk about the family, but Mrs. Zheng has revealed a sentence, grapes are from Sweet Water Town.

The grapes were sold by the stepmother, the mother died at the age of six, and the father was used to asking women to wait, dragging his daughter for two years, and he couldn't go on, thinking about asking a woman to come in with the child, who knew that the back was as fierce as a tigress, but he was cleaned up.

Less than two years after An's birthday, the sister of the oil bottle brought by the stepmother stayed at home to do well, but sold her own one, just because she had a big belly, and said that the one in it was a son, and the man looked at the incense, gritted his teeth and said that it would be sold.

I don't remember my mother's face, I have been here for more than two years, and I still want to go home, but as soon as she goes back, my mother coaxed her to take out the monthly money, she said that she handed it over to the housekeeper's grandmother, and asked Mrs. Zheng to scold before she got her senses, and since then she has broken off contact, and she doesn't even know if the one behind her really gave birth to a son.

Grape is only considered to be broken off this family, Mrs. Zheng values her, it doesn't matter if she is not smart, what matters is loyalty, no matter how clever Shi Gui is, he still thinks about his mother outside, who is not intimate and close to meat, and only plans for his own family when he encounters something.

Shi Gui knew this, and sighed for her, but when she heard Qiu Niang's Shi Dad being so unhappy, Grape saw that she was silent, and chewed her tongue more and more: "You still have a younger brother, when there is such a good thing, your mother will have another one in the future, and remember whether you are round or flat." ”

Shi Gui knew that her father sold her in order to give birth to a son, and he endured it back when he turned his lips, and no longer talked to her, but when he said that she was moved, he became more and more bitter, sat up and looked at Shi Gui: "According to what I said, it is serious to stay in the house, and it is not better to hold on to the money, you are too desperate, and you will change your bracelet with a set of clothes?"

These words were also said to her by Mrs. Zheng, it was true that she was on her, she took it out and persuaded Shi Gui at this time, the more Shi Gui didn't speak, the more she talked, and it was not easy to talk about the money.

After a while, I thought about going to the old mansion with me, and I paused after saying a word, Shi Gui only knew how to work hard, but the grapes were courteous on both sides, if she went to the old mansion, the third-class and second-class would rise, and Mrs. Zheng would only take a lot more, and she could show her face in front of the master.

The more he pulled, the more he didn't get into his mouth, and he knew that the grapes had already made up his mind, so he had to follow Mrs. Zheng to the old house, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and cleaned up the words in his stomach, looking at Shi Gui who was still not open, he snorted coldly: "You just wait, you have to suffer." ”

Having said a lot, I just feel that Shi Gui is not unlucky in the present, and he will always be unlucky in the future, the more disobedient he is at this time, the more he will suffer in the future, he pulled the quilt and yawned, and slept more peacefully than usual.

On the second day, the grapes didn't get up in the morning, and the work of delivering water fell on Shi Gui, Shi Gui carried the kettle into the garden, and the light bamboo sat under the porch, Shi Ju was running her hair, one was holding a mirror, the other was holding a comb, and when she heard the sound, she looked over and laughed: "Why are you here today." ”

Such a job of showing his face, the grapes are unwilling to let people, but everything in the Spring Swallow House, I can't wait to pick it all on one shoulder, light bamboo

Quickly, it was inevitable that there would be some ridicule when she said it, Shi Gui pursed her lips and smiled to cover it up for her: "I exchanged it with her, someone from my family came yesterday, and after Sister Grape was busy, I couldn't help it." ”

Danzhu smiled and beckoned to her: "You come, I have something for you." But it was a pair of green pants sprinkled with flowers: "I wore a small one, and I gave it to you, I think you are just right." ”

In addition to the light bamboo giving her clothes, Shi Ju also gave a goose yellow jacket: "Looking at it like this, it is much more energetic, the king is so careful, even the clothes are made like this, you just wait and see." ”

Steward Wang has some mistakes, that is, the handle that was sent to the eldest lady, the two of them looked at each other, Chunyan had an account in her heart, and when the second wife was in charge, there were a few people □□, and the Ye family was waiting for the attack.

Shi Gui also heard Mrs. Zheng say a lot of words that were not harmonious between the two concubines, but she just didn't understand, she shouldn't ask more, so she just asked: "Thank you for the clothes of the two sisters, the flower sauce will be boiled in the kitchen, and when I steam the cake, I will use it as a snack for the two sisters." ”

In the spring, Mrs. Zheng must boil sauce to send to the eldest lady, and now there are people, seeing that they can be transferred back, these are more and more rare, a few days ago it rained, she was still anxious, she was afraid that the rain would drop the flowers, and when she saw that the sky was clear, she quickly made Shi Gui go to the flower garden to pick the small roses that would not bloom.

Then I went to the bottom of the mountain and bought the best mellow honey, added plum marinade and boiled it with sugar and salt until it was thick and poured it into the jar, and waited for the flower sauce to form a flower jelly, which was considered good.

The kitchen is full of honey and sweetness, the work of picking calyxes and removing flower stalks is done by Shi Gui, and it is not difficult to boil flower sauce, but it is not difficult to leave people, and from time to time you have to add water and sugar, she watched Mrs. Zheng boil a pot, and said that she also boiled a pot, so that Mrs. Zheng could take a break.

Then there is the newly fried honey bean paste, red and white two colors, are just obtained, both said to make flower cakes for light bamboo chrysanthemum, you have to think of a fresh idea.

Qiu Niang made a good cake ball, every year in the village to worship the ancestors, she was specially invited to make pastries, Shi Guixue is particularly attentive, flowers, birds, fish and insects are all done, the little girl's family loves to play, light bamboo and stone chrysanthemum are both still a little childish, Shi Gui took rose honey to soak in water, dyed the dough red, pinched a flower out, picked the fine green leaves, washed and lined under the flower cake, put the plate out, Zheng Pozi looked at it at once.

When the buyer came in, Shi Gui said that she could make cakes, but she only had a big idea, no matter how coincidental it was, it was ordinary, at most she could make some Qingtuan rice cakes, and Mrs. Zheng didn't think about asking her to steam the cake, but now that it was steamed, she was a little surprised: "This kung fu really learned from your mother?"

Seeing Shi Gui nodding, Mrs. Zheng looked at her again, and treated her more and more kindly: "You send it to Miss Chunyan." Seeing that she took the food box out, she didn't think that such a girl still had this craftsmanship, so she didn't eat it, and it was good to be a cook, and she made up her mind that this hand would be shown to the eldest lady, and she was afraid that there would be no reward.

Shi Gui saved his gratitude, but he frightened the two light bamboo and stone chrysanthemums, the small flower cake was just the size of the soup ball, carved the petal lotus leaves, took it in his hand and looked left and right, and praised her repeatedly: "How can this be said, your hand is too skillful." ”

Shi Gui smiled: "I don't have much to thank my two sisters, it's just this, don't make fun of me." "That dress is worth a few dollars of silver, although it is cloth, the material is thick, and the pattern and color are new, but I have to thank him for it.

Danzhu took the cake to Chunyan to see, and Chunyan also praised it: "It's a coincidence, it's rare that she has this thought." I asked her what tricks she would have, knowing that she would also make a few tricks of Xiaoshou Tao'er every year: "When the old lady comes, you will pinch a drawer of this and then bring a drawer of Xiaoshou Peach to please a good mouth." ”

Naturally not visible in the old house, this time out, I can't bring so many people, pastries and snacks are ordinary things, and I can only appear if I send this up.

Shi Gui replied, I didn't expect to be able to show my face to the old lady by making a snack, and Danzhu also told Mrs. Zheng about it, and Mrs. Zheng quickly asked Shi Gui to pinch out all the tricks she would, and didn't ask her to work anymore, and handed over all the chores to the grapes.

Grape was already dissatisfied in his heart, rolled his eyes and looked at Shi Gui, Shi Gui thought for a while and said: "I can't do a lot of one, so it's better to ask Sister Grape to come with me." ”

Mrs. Zheng is still afraid that she is hiding her secrets, if both of them are good, then naturally she teaches them well, and tells them a few kinds of begging colors, Shi Gui shook his head when he heard this: "I'm just small, I really want to pinch a lot of longevity, and I can't be a dim sum master, I just want to be smart, I pinch the peach blossom and willow leaves in the spring, and make lotus cakes in the summer, so that the masters can see a novelty." ”

The more Mrs. Zheng thought about it, the more she felt that she was reasonable, Mrs. Song was from Jiangzhou, she was used to eating boats, and she had seen a lot of dough sculptures, and this one was made more delicately in order to please her.

Grape saw Shi Guiken teaching, the sweet words in her mouth couldn't stop talking, she wanted to learn to burn the stove, Zheng Pozi made a good soup, used to making beets, closed the mouth of the old lady, learned this, but not better than these small snacks.

She played the abacus on both sides, followed Shi Guixue and dough to adjust the filling, but she didn't have any effort in her hands, either it was uneven dyeing, or the petals were not carved vividly, Zheng Pozi saw that she specialized in this, but the cooking skills she had just learned were wasted, and she was specially called to go, and the grapes were only picked up by the easy ones, and she also went to the stove with Zheng Pozi, learned a few dishes, and won several rewards from Chunyan.

Shi Gui's own family also knew that Mrs. Zheng couldn't treat her as a confidant, and taught the skill of burning the stove to Grape, but she hid it from her, looking at her, and her skills were still passed on to Grape.

She was relieved now, she was afraid that Zheng Pozi would take her back to the old house, so she was no longer afraid, in addition to doing things to learn embroidery with light bamboo, watching her divide the silk and needle, and also embroidered a plant of orchid grass on her own handkerchief.

There are a lot of idle chores to do, and the dumplings wrapped in the Duanyang Festival will be eaten, and the Song family has a letter, saying that they are on the road by boat, and they will arrive in June, and they will live until September and then leave.

Chunyan specially sent Danzhu to tell the two of Shigui grapes, and asked the two of them to work more carefully these days, as soon as the grapes heard the voice, they knew that something was wrong, and asked, and Danzhu really revealed the news: "The second lady also sent someone, and she is no better than Sister Chunyan, and it is good not to be picky." ”

The grapes stuck out their tongues, and Shi Gui remembered it in his heart, where did he know that they were not looking for trouble, but things were finding their heads.
