Chapter 12: Master, Please
Xue Ying finally heard the good news that she could ask a gentleman to learn enlightenment, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw Dong Xun with a nervous face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She lip-synched: What's wrong?
Dong Xun hurriedly shook his head, wanting to guide her into his room. Xue Ying rolled her eyes and ran into the next compartment with a cigarette. Sure enough, Zhen's mother was covering her face, looking like she was about to faint from crying.
This is amazing, although she usually loves the golden beans, but it's the first time I've seen her cry like this!
Comforting people has never been something she is good at, seeing her like this, Xue Ying's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she stood by the door and called out with some hesitation: "Mother Zhen......"
Hearing her voice, Zhen's mother hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, raised her face, her eyes were red and swollen to the point that there was only one slit left, and her body sobbed involuntarily, and her nasal voice was thick: "Third Miss, go and rest, drink some water." ”
"Mother Zhen, don't cry. "If you cry for three days and cry for five days, how can your body stand it!
Hearing this, Zhen's mother's tears couldn't help falling again: "My hard-working third lady...... What can I do about this!" She Ke Third Lady's crime is implemented, and the house will definitely not want to see her more and more in the future, I thought that after a few years, after the age of fourteen, the Third Lady will accept her again, and she will find a good family.
But now, she is convicted, and the third lady is afraid and doesn't want to care about her anymore.
"Aren't I very good?" Xue Ying couldn't help it, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped her face, "Just now Zhao Zhuangtou said that I can ask a master to come back and learn to read!"
"Hmm. Zhen's mother nodded, choked and covered her face, "The slave knows that this is a good thing." ”
"Then don't cry, your eyes are broken from crying, how can you make me beautiful clothes in the future?"
Dong Xun, who was standing outside the door, listened to the little man's coquettish and comforting voice, and his expression was complicated.
………………
"Can't please sir?" Xue Ying asked in surprise.
"It's not that you can't be invited, it's that you won't be able to invite the right one for a while. Qiaoya explained. "Master said that there are also some Xiucai students in the vicinity, but if you invite them to another courtyard, it is not appropriate, after all, it is a foreign man. After a period of getting along, Aunt He'an appreciated her more and more, and a few days ago she had drunk Qiaoya's apprenticeship tea and officially accepted this apprentice.
As for Mr. Please, to put it bluntly, there is no one in charge in this courtyard, for fear that he will not be able to suppress others. Besides, Zhen's mother is a widow, she is not very old, and there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door.
I can control the mouths of the people in Jiuquan Villa, but I can't control the people outside!
"Then, what does Zhao Zhuangtou mean by inviting a female gentleman?"
Qiaoya nodded: "But after all, this is the countryside, and it is not easy to find a literate female gentleman, so it will take more time." ”
Xue Ying hurriedly said, "Ah, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry." "Indeed, after all, it's looking for a teacher, and you can't be sloppy. She didn't want to find a master who could only follow her own subject - how tiring that was!
So far, her goal in life is still positioned to "create a happy childhood", but it can't be ruined so quickly.
So she quickly let go of the matter. It was autumn, and many of the wild fruits in the mountains were ripe, and the children in the village found new pleasures and went into the mountains to pick wild fruits from time to time. Xue Ying naturally couldn't go into the mountain - it was too challenging for Zhen's mother to bear it, but those children never forgot to share her share of the fruits they picked back, so she also harvested a lot during this time, such as wild pears, hawthorns, cherries and even wild grapes.
Under the guidance of Aunt Shunzi, she tossed dried hawthorn with Qiaoya and Dongxun during this time, and also ate the sugar gourd made by Aunt Shunzi. After playing around, she turned her mind to wild grapes.
Those wild grapes were not popular because they were thick and fleshy, but she remembered where she had seen an easy way to make wine in her previous life, so she pestered Aunt Junko to make some.
It took a little copper plate to recover two large frames of wild grapes from the children of Bezhuang, cut them into one by one, washed them and soaked them in salt water for a while, then rinsed them with clean water and drained them, spread a layer of grapes and a layer of rock sugar in the wine vat in a ratio of six to one, and finally sealed them and it was over.
For Xue Ying's behavior, everyone didn't think it was too strange, after all, Jiuquan Villa's main business is winemaking. Hearing that Xue Ying made wine, the people in the Zhuangzi joked that they would drink it in two glasses in the future, and Xue Ying agreed to it one by one.
In a blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and it was finally easy to stop a little, and Zhao Zhuangtou sent a message through Aunt He'an: The master has been found.
It's just that the request made by this master is a bit strange: if you don't stay in the hospital, you will come every other day, and then it will be determined according to the weather conditions when it is cold and snowing.
Xue Ying felt strange and asked carefully, only then did she know that this female master was the wife of a hunter in the mountains, and it was inconvenient to come out of the mountains after all, and people were unwilling to be separated from their families, so they set the rule of two days and one day, come early and return late, with an interval of one day.
It is said that this hunter was originally unwilling to let his wife tired, but Zhao Zhuangtou relied on the fact that he was a friend of others, and repeatedly came to the door to ask, which moved the other party.
"Orion's wife?" Qiao Ya's eyes widened, "Can that work?" "In these years, although the status of women is much better than that of the previous dynasty, the women of the Zhuang family are still a minority of literacy after all, not to mention that they are just the wife of a hunter in the mountains.
Xue Ying hurriedly said: "Then it goes without saying that Zhao Zhuangtou tossed in order to invite her, so it can be seen that she must be worth it." Turning to Aunt He'an, "Thank you Zhao Zhuangtou for me!"
"Don't rush to thank you yet, there's another request. Aunt He'an waved her hand and said with some embarrassment, "Lao Wang is not at ease, saying that he must meet the young lady first, and both husband and wife agree before he can take this job." ”
"It's pretty big!" muttered.
"Okay, I can meet the Master too. Xue Ying gladly accepted.
"That's good, that's good!" Seeing that things were unexpectedly smooth, Aunt He'an was very happy, "Third Miss, don't worry, you are so cute, they will definitely like you." Liuli is gentle and kind, and her speech is also very elegant, so it's no problem to be a master. ”
"Hmm. Xue Ying smiled and nodded.
Only Qiaoya is still muttering: No matter how elegant she is, it doesn't mean that people are knowledgeable! If you find a Miss with half a bucket of water, wouldn't it delay Miss?
Xue Ying was very relieved, firstly, to trust Zhao Zhuangtou's vision, and secondly, to be in the countryside, it was not easy to find a female master, and the standard must be lowered a little, and it should not be too careful.
The key is that with the accumulation of her previous life, I believe that she will soon be able to master the words here, and she will be able to go to the study to pick up books and read them in the future openly!
Thinking of this, she couldn't stop being happy, and when Qiaoya saw it, she couldn't help but mutter, thinking that this would be a loss-making business and she didn't know it.
