Chapter 10: The Song Family
Although what Chen Niang said was drunk, it was also reasonable, Shi Gui carved it into her heart, she didn't want to stay in the house for the rest of her life, she had to go out to live. Yinliu couldn't help but call a little girl and scolded, Chen Niangzi, she can't be stronger, is she still stronger than a little hairy girl, and she reached out to pull her hair.
Shi Gui didn't want her water dog to jump up and bite again, so she grabbed it, gritted her teeth in pain, touched the rolling pin on the stove, and stabbed it on the waist of Yinliu.
Shi Gui refused to scream in pain, Yinliu couldn't scream when she was in pain, she covered her waist and shrank on the ground in a muffled voice, Shi Gui saw that she was still in this situation, bullying her family younger than her, impatient to look at her again, and turned around and went out.
Mrs. Chen ate wine and fell asleep, Shi Gui took the door out, walked to the alley, waited for a long time and didn't see anyone coming, so she simply went to the shop opposite and bought scissors, thimbles and a few rolls of white thread.
There are sales in the needle chisel shop, all kinds of kinds of complete, monochrome five texts, if there are patterns and colors of good, you can sell seven or eight texts, and then some patterns are sold more expensive, even a happy plum shoot, the bigger the flower blooms and the pedicle is made, the more valuable it is.
Shi Gui can also tie knots, double money Ruyi, but these lotus swimming fish, she has not learned, naturally not, bought a roll of silk, want to go back to tie the Ruyi knot, a small knot five Wen, earn a few cents, it is better than idle.
It was easy to wait for the grapes to come, but she was full of things in her hands, a big purse on her waist, and a package in her hand.
Not to mention that the fifty dollars on the grape were used cleanly, she also asked Ah Cai to borrow 200 wen, and pulled a piece of flower cloth to make a skirt, and the small Lianzhuer dyed red with apricots, she couldn't move her eyes as soon as she saw it.
This kind of flower cloth is not stronger and cheaper than Chaolan cloth, but it is bright, the girl loves to be pretty, and when she sees the blue and white brown gray sent down by the king of the sky, she naturally wants to wear the red of the flower, and Shi Gui's eyes lit up: "I'll take you there, the cloth on the burden is cheap." ”
Shi Guizhi shook his hand: "I don't have any money on me, so I entrusted Aunt Chen to bring the money to my mother." Grape wanted to borrow money several times, but Shi Gui either pretended not to understand, or he said that the family wanted to repair a house and buy land for his younger brother to study, but he didn't ask Grape to seize the opportunity several times.
Grape really bit his lip: "Give it all?"
Shi Gui nodded honestly: "It's all given." "This money can't be placed around her, the grapes are not big eyes, but they are very fine, and when she has money, she has to ask, Shi Gui knows that she can't keep it, so he took the broken Ou'er and buried it behind the bamboo forest house.
"Really, don't fool me!" Grape didn't give up, her money was only enough to make a skirt and half sleeves, and it was not enough to make a blouse, and she wanted to ask Shi Gui to borrow money.
Shi Gui opened the purse and showed her, there were only a dozen or so money left in it, where was there enough to cut cloth, the grapes sighed, and the three of them sat down in the small restaurant, one of them asked for a bowl of big fish dumplings, Shi Gui looked at the small dumplings with grapes and only ate fine ingredients, and gave her a few of his own shares.
The soup base is boiled with fish bones, Shi Gui ate all the bowls of soup, and the green onion and egg ingredients added on top were all eaten clean, and the grapes were also very greedy, but she couldn't tell others not to eat them and gave them to her, thinking that there were still kueh dumplings in the room to eat, so she endured it.
March 3 is the birthday of Emperor Zhenwu, there is a practice of burning incense in the view, and there are also people who sell portraits to worship, a few people still want to go to the market, but Ah Cai refuses, he is afraid that the grapes will borrow money from him again, and urgently urge their family to go.
The grapes are weak, Shi Gui wants to go, see what the stalls on the set are selling, if you can make it yourself, you can also exchange it for money: "It's all here, I have to ask for a portrait of the Emperor Zhenwu for my godmother." ”
The three of them went to the market again, just went to the East Market, this time they went back to the West Market, the West Market is a private market, all of them are small traders, and their own pickles are sold, Shi Gui asked to understand, this episode is opened once a month, and everything can be sold for wood carving and bamboo weaving.
The three of them walked from beginning to end, and only then did they buy a painting after they walked to the end, and the Zhenwu Emperor painted on it wrote the line "Zhentian Zhenwu Ling Yingyou Holy Emperor", Shi Gui has long known that the words here are all in traditional Chinese, and there are no books to read in the countryside, and you can also see a few words in the ancestral hall.
She can write, learn Chinese painting, how can she not write calligraphy, but take the painting so far, even a street craftsman is not as good, she put the painting in her sleeve, I don't know in this life, there is no day when I will take a pen again.
It was still early when she arrived at the house, and Mrs. Zheng should only give them a day off, and she would have to have a good time before coming back, and when she saw the grapes flattening her mouth, she looked at the many things in her hand, and knew that she must be bought out, so she stretched out her hand and nodded at her.
Looking at the portrait of Shi Gui with a snack in his hand, he knew that it was for her, but he didn't speak, and Grape said first: "Godmother, this statue of the emperor is invited back by us together." ”
Shi Gui didn't say anything, where did she still have money, all the clothes were hollowed out, Mrs. Zheng didn't know, she didn't open her mouth when she saw the osmanthus flowers, laughed once, and asked them to go back to the house, and as soon as the grapes went back, she spread out the cloth and looked at the copper mirror in the house on her body.
The clothes are there, but the debts are also owed, the grapes spread a bed of things, embroidered purse small mirrors, thick beads of bracelets, carved hairpins, Shi Gui lay on the bed and closed his eyes, the grapes lit something, his eyes swept to Shi Gui's body, quietly picked up the floor tiles, and took out a small box from below.
Shi Gui squinted and saw it, and no longer thought that she could hide her private money, turned over and faced the wall, listened to the grapes count the private money one by one, there were thirty or fifty, and laughed in her heart, and she really fell asleep after a while.
At night at a meal, the king steward came in with his hands behind his back, the mouse's eyes were bright, and he slipped his eyes on the green vegetables and amaranth, and laughed twice, even the laughter was like a squeak, and he finished laughing and said: "Cut another summer coat for everyone, after spring, the old lady will come." ”
The house was quiet at first, and then it seemed to explode, and after looking forward to it for many years, no one came, but it was just that the frontier could not go back in this life, how do you know that there will be a day when people come.
Mrs. Zheng was so happy that her eyes narrowed, the old lady took the eldest lady and the eldest young master everywhere, now she is hopeful, where do you know that the joy has not passed, and the king steward said: "Check the house everywhere, if there are leaks, you have to make up for the bad ones, and you have to sort them out from the west courtyard first, and slowly repair them to the east courtyard." ”
The west courtyard is where the second lady lives, and the person has not yet come, he first shows his loyalty, Mrs. Zheng smiled on her face and said in her heart, as long as the old lady is still there, the family must be the world of the eldest lady, where is he afraid of a second manager, then he can follow the eldest lady back to the old house, and no longer stay in this poor place.
Mrs. Zheng Xingxing ate a few glasses of wine again, and hummed a little song, grapes thought about paying the money, so she was busy in front of her, peeling peanuts for her for a while, and scalding wine for her for a while, knowing that Mrs. Zheng liked to talk about the old mansion the most, so she specially picked a good one and asked her: "Godmother, this time the old lady is here, will the eldest lady come?"
Mrs. Zheng hasn't been so comfortable for several years, and it turned out that she was going to come a few times, but this time it was different, the fine ghosts all remade their clothes, and they also touched the money to come out, saying that it was to patrol the house to consume their spirits, so that they could eat better, and even doubled the money for the dishes.
"Naturally, it's coming, the old lady likes the eldest lady the most, and she is closer than the old man, in the final analysis, the eldest lady is a big house, and the master's body has to be split in half, and that side is the biological one. Shi Gui only thought that Mrs. Zheng was drunk, and when she listened to it, she realized that the second master of the Song family was one person and two rooms.
She also heard about this in Lanxi Village, but she was only born and passed one, how could she really marry a sister-in-law who had a fixed name, the Song family said that it was a poetry heirloom, but the things she did were ridiculous.
"The old lady really likes the eldest lady so much?" No matter how close the daughter-in-law is, she can't kiss the heir, how can there be any reason to put her son behind, Grape asked this, and made Mrs. Zheng snort.
"You know what, our eldest lady, and the uncle is a childhood sweetheart, the two of them have been set up since childhood, and they are about to get married, the uncle has an accident, the eldest lady was going to keep the festival and marry the tablet, the lord picked two rooms, and the two became relatives. ”
Mrs. Zheng didn't drink wine, and she didn't dare to say this, she nodded two small ones: "If you have heard this, you must dare to leak it out, and watch me peel your skin." ”
Both of them knew the importance of the matter, and after listening to this secret, where did they dare to go outside to chew their tongues, and when the grapes returned, they asked Shi Gui: "What you said the godmother said is true or false?
Not only married the master, but also gave birth to the eldest young master, but the grapes didn't dare to ask, Shi Gui thought about it once, and had some pity for this eldest lady who had never met, what is the good thing about being born in a high-ranking family, the family asked her to marry, she had to marry, and it was like the girl's family in the village.
The head of the village is a powerful point, parents don't dare to marry at will, there are many people in Lanxi Village who have the right eyes, a village lives, there is always a farmer who is busy with farming, and the girl's family also has to do work, and it can not hide without seeing a man, and if you can get married, the patriarch has nothing to say.
"It's always the family that asks her to marry, so she marries. Shi Gui spread out the quilt after finishing speaking, but the grapes kept talking: "It's really a childhood sweetheart, and it's stronger to hit your head and die." ”
Shi Gui frowned, he didn't quarrel with her, and he was a little angry at this time: "Live well, what is the death of death, my father and mother are raised to such a big age, do you say that you will die?"
Grape was stunned, choked on this sentence, and said back: "It's clear that you can't keep it, push even a father, there is no lock on the beam, there is no cover on the well platform, what you want to guard can't keep." ”
Shi Gui didn't bother to pay attention to her, pulled the curtain, and lay down in the quilt, what else could she say to such a foolish person, the grape was still chewing her tongue, and vaguely heard a few words of infidelity, Shi Gui lifted the curtain: "Don't say it again, let people listen carefully, and the godmother can't keep you!"
The grapes choked on this, Shi Gui put down the curtain, closed his eyes and pulled the quilt, inhaled and spit it out, this ghost place has to be far away.
