Liu Chen opened the rice paper and casually glanced at it.

Lan Cao stood respectfully, her little face didn't dare to look at Bai Ziqi on the side, but she wanted to see it, so she deliberately put her face on the floor, her voice was very loud, and she clearly repeated the master's three requests.

"Don't use spices? Can't you even use green clay incense? How can that work? Green clay incense is the most precious spice in our Lingzhou Mansion, calming the mind and regulating mental qi to help sleep, the effect is obvious, I can't sleep if I don't order a plate every night now." ”

Can't use the green clay incense that she loves, isn't this equivalent to Chen's life, so she softly resisted when she heard this.

Bai Ziqi's attention was attracted by the second thing, "She said that she can't splash water, irrigate water, acupuncture acupuncture points, and can't move around?

As he spoke, he glanced at the kang, Liu Wan on the kang was riding on the back of a big fat cat and playing, the cat was tossed in pain and couldn't get rid of it, meowing non-stop. After Liu Wan's illness, he was actually quite obedient, except for the corners of his mouth that drooped downward, which was not much different from a normal child, and sometimes the words he said were completely the intelligence of a ten-year-old child.

Lancao shook her head, she couldn't answer the doubts of the eldest lady and Cousin Bai, she just came to be a microphone.

Bai Ziqi took the Zhang Shengxuan from the eldest lady.

The font is not big, but it is sparse, giving people the feeling that the person who writes has just learned the word, and even the pen is not stable, so it is a little difficult to write, and the handwriting is crooked, but fortunately, it is still clear.

looked at Bai Ziqi's brows wrinkled into a crumpled rag.

What font is this written in?

How does it look strange.

Liu Chen noticed his nephew's abnormality and leaned over to look.

Bai Ziqi spread out the rice paper on the table, and looked down word by word, a total of three lines of words, the big one in the front, followed by a string of small ones.

Bai Ziqi looked at his aunt.

The eldest lady looked at her nephew.

The two of them asked at the same time: "What is this written? Why is it so difficult for people to read it?"

Chen shook his nephew's arm: "Brother Qi, you are a scholar and knowledgeable, you should know him, right?"

Her nephew shook his head a little dazedly, "Auntie, this, this is clearly a Chinese character, but it doesn't seem to be, this is not how Chinese characters are written." Although my dynasty since the founding of the country has been in a corner of the region, but for the Central Plains Han culture, two generations of emperors have attached great importance to it, and our students are studying diligently day and night, from antiquity to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Sui and Tang dynasties, which dynasty and which generation of the literary and historical classics and cultural changes we have mastered a rough idea, Chinese characters from the beginning of Cangjie characters, the various changes that have been passed down to this day, all kinds of different fonts, including oracle bone inscriptions, Jinwen, big seals, small seals, Lishu, Kaishu, Wei Bei Xingshu, cursive nephews have been involved, have done research, but aunt, this font is really rare, at first glance simple, carefully pondered but very different from today's fonts, so the nephew can only roughly recognize these fonts with complex shapesIn addition, these look very simple, but I can't even recognize any of them. ”

The two of them looked up, and the little girl was waiting in place with a determined face.

"Who wrote this?"

Chen's expression was a little gloomy and uncertain.

Lancao is neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to the eldest wife's words, it was written by our little grandmother." ”

Chen followed closely, "You saw her write it with your own eyes?"

As soon as Lancao saw this look, she had a premonition that things were not good, and she was nervous, but she didn't say anything, "The slave maid was grinding and laying paper on the side, watching my master write it." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and Chen suddenly spoke: "Lancao, go back and serve your master well." ”

As soon as her small figure stepped out of the threshold, Bai Ziqi couldn't wait:

"Auntie, don't worry, my nephew is thinking, this may be a small barbarian country around China that created the text of zào by itself, so the world doesn't know it, or the nephew will take it out and ask those knowledgeable and well-informed old gentlemen to take a look, maybe there will be someone who recognizes it." ”

Bai Ziqi scholar's mentality, seeing a font that he had never seen before, he was surprised and happy, this is the joy of a studious person who suddenly saw a new knowledge, and hated to learn it and master it right away, so he was not in a hurry to know what was written on this paper, but wanted to figure out what kind of font it was.

Chen Shi frowned darkly, "This little mute, oh no, Brother Wan's daughter-in-law, how can she write as a child from a poor tenant family? I have never heard of any tenant family in our Zhuangzi who has ever entered the school, and besides, this field tenant family is poorer than ordinary people, and a pair of children are mute...... No, Brother Qi, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter, you think about it, this thing is not right if you think about it carefully, she is a little mute, if the family has money, she will not drag the rent and delay in paying, let alone sell her daughter to be a child daughter-in-law with three hanging money, and what, what was this little mute like when he first came, he hated to go into the mouse hole when he saw it, and now, he said that he had changed, and he actually came to talk to me about the conditions, and you also saw the scene of the negotiation that day, you look at the little mute, where is still the appearance of a child daughter-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, the big thorn sits there, her eyes are dumbfounded, as if there are many things in her arms, calm and surprising, but it made me, a mother-in-law, unable to hold my breath and lose my shelf.

My aunt admits that she is eager to ask for a son, and now I believe in any ghosts, gods, Buddhas, and Taos, as long as I can make my wishes come true and conceive a son, no matter who it is, I will treat him (her) as a living bodhisattva, and I will meet him (her) on a condition.

But Brother Qi, my aunt is in a daze, you bystanders, tell me, is this thing wrong from the beginning, shouldn't my aunt believe the nonsense of a little mute at all?

Yes, she gave birth to Aunt Jiu and returned her mother and child to safety, but maybe it was just luck, the blind cat touched a dead mouse, how can this show that she has the ability to come back to life and save people in danger?

Do you think she's playing tricks on us?

Now I have fulfilled her request, and even the most precious old plum tree has been moved, how can there be a tree in this winter, if it is moved, it will be enough, if it is tossed to death, I don't know how many people are waiting to see my jokes. I don't want to be the laughing stock of the house. ”

Faced with the sudden outburst of broken thoughts of the middle-aged woman, the personable Bai Ziqi's nephew would not interrupt his aunt casually, he smiled with a jade face, listened quietly, and finally smiled lightly and stated his opinion: "Auntie, my nephew is still the same sentence, it is better to try than not to try, only if you try you will have a chance, if you don't try, won't you even have the only chance to succeed." As for the plum tree, according to my nephew's humble opinion, it is better to move it, and the black pressure in front of your house covers an old tree, blocking the sunlight from the window, giving people the feeling that the house is always a little yin, and if the yin qi is heavy, it is especially inappropriate for women to live. In fact, my nephew had been in his heart for a long time, but he didn't dare to speak lightly to his aunt. ”

These words were eloquent, cordial and heartfelt, and Chen's wavering heart was firm, "Okay, then I will believe in this little mute for a while." ”

Bai Ziqi held the rice paper and couldn't wait to ask her uncle, Liu Dingmao, for advice.

Chen Shi looked at the Boshan furnace and gritted his teeth, "Lanmei, cut off the green clay incense, and suspend the use from now on." ”

Lan Mei, who had just rushed in from outside, turned her face when she heard this, she had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask, and obediently removed a plate of green clay incense that had not yet been burned.

After a while, Liu's mother came, and the eldest lady's errand was very simple, "Do you want to find a way to ask someone to go to the Zhuangzi to inquire about the tenant household, has his daughter ever studied? Can she read and write? In addition to being deaf and dumb since childhood, what is different about this child from other children?" In addition to being raised at home over the years, has she ever gone out with anyone, such as being alienated by monks and Taoist sisters-in-law. ”

Lan Mei listened quietly by her side, today Chen did not support her to go out to feed the pigeons, that is to say, the eldest lady is still the same as in the past, not to be defensive about everything, or to treat herself as a caring person. This made Lan Mei's heart, which had been very gloomy yesterday, suddenly happy.

Mother Liu hung her head and listened, never asking more, turned around and left after listening to the order, and did not say goodbye, which seemed very rude.

Even if Lan Mei has been by the eldest lady's side for a long time, she has long been accustomed to seeing Mother Liu's dumb appearance with no one in her eyes, Lan Mei still couldn't help muttering in her heart, such a hard-tempered and disrespectful mother-in-law, I really don't understand why the eldest lady has been able to tolerate it, that is, the eldest lady Bodhisattva is just lenient to her subordinates, if she changes which aunt wife, hmph, I am afraid that she will be sent to do rough work below, where can she be allowed to come to the roof to see the master.

Liu Chen was tired, sat in the soft chair on the cushion, stretched his waist, and licked his lips, "Lan Mei, let's call the kitchen to stew mutton for lunch, stew it rotten, and then add some garlic vinegar and water sauce......"

Suddenly stopped, almost forgot, can't eat meat, forbidden to eat a qiē meat, oops, do you really want to fast, not called eating meat, then what do I eat? What else does it taste like this day?
