22. Chapter 22
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wen are familiar with each other, and they know about her family. I can't complain about Mrs. Wen, and whoever has a delicate and pretty concubine will be annoyed. can't do serious things, seeing that Tian'er is coquettish to everyone, it is called a heart as fine as silk, and half a sentence is wrong and hurts her again. is a relative of the mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and it is inevitable that the mother-in-law will be biased. The angry Mrs. Wen is ruthless, and in the future, her son will always look for the atmosphere, even if he is poor, it doesn't matter. In terms of speaking, the Wen family is not as good as the Ye family, and it is quite high. It's also angry with the concubine, looking for something happy, so I want to make friends with the Chen family.
Mrs. Li shook her head: "She is sick and dead, you go and see her, we are not familiar with her, and she is tired of getting up and wearing big clothes." Childe is only more than eleven years old, so why rush at a moment? When she is well, Ye Shaoqing also came to our Ministry of Industry, how much can't she move? I slept lightly during the confinement, so don't provoke others. ”
Mrs. Wen just said that, seeing that Mrs. Li objected, she stopped talking. The gathering of the eunuch's house is nothing more than this, the men talk about the court gossip, the women talk about the shortcomings of the family, watch a play and listen to a book. When it gets dark, say goodbye and avoid the curfew drums to avoid rushing. The guests are gone, but the family is not idle. The men had wine, and each sent someone to serve him. The wives and girls cleaned up the aftermath. The old lady immediately ordered: "Second wife, you look at the gold and silver utensils, and third wife, you order some antique ornaments." Ting Yao led people to count the dishes and chopsticks clearly; Tinglan, you're not too young, learn to take the copper furnace back to the library. Ting Shan then picked up the incense, and he could still use it to collect it for the next time. He looked at Tingfang again, "You write well, follow Mother Du to copy the gift list." Tingxiu, you are a sister, and your older brother has two younger sisters and a few younger brothers, their brothers are not careful, and your mother is not idle. It's time to rest quickly. "Naturally, there are special people everywhere, and the girls are just for them to learn.
The eldest man does birthdays, and some birthday gifts are given in advance, and some are given on the same day. The ones sent in advance are put into the warehouse early, and those sent on the same day must be counted now. There are fabrics, antiques, cherished medicinal herbs, ornaments and toys, and there are also those who give money. Ting Fang didn't care about the antique medicinal ornaments, and asked the girl to move the money and fabrics into one place, just mentally arithmetic, three times five divided by two, Du's mother has not finished ordering the antiques, she has even done the account. Mother Du hurriedly said: "Girl, don't try to be fast, it's not good to miscalculate." ”
Ting Fang said: "I checked it twice, that's right." ”
Mother Du was shocked, and glanced up and down Tingfang several times: "I never thought that the girl was so talented!" ”
Ting Fang twitched the corners of her mouth, she had more talent. What's so difficult about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as a top student, I can't wait to play calculus to the speed of four operations, and it's not a matter at all to calculate an account. Over the past ten years, the earlier skills have almost been forgotten. No way! If it's easy to learn, don't forget it, go back and take the time to write down the formula you can remember, otherwise you will die.
The old lady has a good way of governing the family, and for the sake of the Ye Mansion, I don't know how many banquets she has to hold in a year. As long as it's not a particularly grand event, all the rules are there, and it doesn't waste much. Ting Fang followed to clean up the housework and secretly admired. Cleaning up is easy to say, but many people are blind to do. It is a truth where to take and put it back, but the real situation is often that if you do not do a good job in warehouse management, it is extremely difficult to realize that truth. The large treasury of the Ye Mansion is at the back of the flower hall, half of which is valuables, which are placed in different categories; Half of it is used daily, so it has to be summed up and orderly.
For example, the copper furnaces that are collected are all placed in the same place as those used in winter, and the curtain screens are also divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. The kitchenware is a separate column, and the kitchenware is more finely divided. The warehouse is full of shelves, from large to small and from bottom to top, neatly and neatly. After walking around the warehouse, Ting Fang had to say that the Chen family's housekeeping ability was dumped by the old lady for more than eight streets. She often goes to the small warehouse of the big house, which is a small warehouse, and there are not as many things as the big warehouse, but it is not as convenient as the large warehouse. It's just that there are really not many things, so it doesn't matter.
The whole family was busy until the end of the day, and the old lady asked the kitchen to send some supper to the house. Because of today's feast, there is no need to eat any exquisite food. In front of each person, there is just a bowl of small dumplings and clean snacks that have never been eaten before. Ting Fang ate a lot at the banquet and didn't feel hungry. It's just that the little dumplings are dyed purple for some reason, and they are very cute. When you take a bite, it is bamboo shoots and shepherd's cabbage accompanied by a little minced meat, which is very refreshing. It is not advisable to eat more at night, and everyone only put four dumplings in their bowls that are not much bigger than copper coins, and they are eaten in a few bites. After drinking the soup and feeling warm, Ting Fang showed a comfortable smile.
Seeing that everyone had eaten, Ting Shu took his younger siblings to thank the second and third wives: "Because my mother is sick, I have tired the second and third aunts today." The little nephew thanked me here. "All the sisters followed the blessing.
The second wife hurriedly helped up: "Look at what you said?" The family should be, what is there to worry about. It's getting late, so let's all go back quickly. Tomorrow I will look for you again. Mother speaks. ”
The old lady also said, "We will be idle tomorrow, but you will not." You have to go to school as usual, and you are not allowed to miss your homework. It's just that there are some little things tomorrow, big girl, come to me tomorrow. I'll go to school the day after tomorrow. ”
Ting Yao responded. In fact, everything at home has been sorted out, and the old lady just pities her for her recent chaos and wants her to take a day off. She really needs to have a day off, and she owes a lot of homework in school, so she happens to make up for it tomorrow and go to school neatly. Otherwise, she will be a bad example for her sister, and the younger sister behind will not care. exchanged a few more pleasantries with each other, and each went home without mentioning it.
At this time, the banquet is extremely tiring. There are many visitors, and you have to be tense all the time. Tingfang returned to the house and crooked on the kang, still disassembling the hairpin ring by the girl. Narcissus said: "Girl, Mother Tan in the big girl's house packed another box of jewelry today, and I collected it for the girl." You'll remember to say thank you tomorrow. ”
Lily said: "Fortunately, Narcissus is not very good today, otherwise there will be no one to take care of the house." Girl's. Although my mother went back from illness, I still had to find an old mother to serve. ”
Ting Fang waved her hand: "What do you want, old mother, how do you think your life is too comfortable?" Tan's mother only picked it up and sent it during the day when she knew that someone was at home, and it was not in a hurry, so what was there to play a day earlier? I go to school all day long, and I don't feel any inconvenience after so many years without a mother. Why bother adding an idler to waste money. ”
Narcissus said: "The girl is too careful, having a mother-in-law and a girl is the girl's style." ”
Ting Fang was happy: "My fan is actually supported by a mother-in-law?" You don't have to be hollow. Seriously put away my schoolwork. It's too late tonight, I'm going to take a shower and wash my hair tomorrow, and it's true that I'm going to wash my hair. ”
Narcissus said helplessly: "Girl, I can use a grate to grate for you on a cold day, why do you have to wash your hair in three or five days?" Catch a cold carefully. ”
"Then I'll go to my mother's ear room to wash, and after washing the kang on the nest, I won't catch a cold." Ting Fang happily decided, "Just prepare things for me." ”
Tingfang has always had an idea, but the girl couldn't resist her, and after waiting for her to wash her face and wipe her body, she quit - Tingfang's habit, she doesn't want anyone to accompany her at night. Sink into the bed and lower the curtain. Although she was very tired, Tingfang still insisted on exercising. You can't make any excuses for yourself, otherwise you won't practice at a banquet today, and you won't practice tomorrow if you're not happy, and you'll slowly stop practicing. The cost of saving your life! Just by looking at the appearance of Chen's dystocia, you can know that the tune. How important it is to teach autonomic muscles well! Catch the fetal misalignment placenta previa sheep. Water embolism and other hard things, that is the third watch of Hades wants to accept you, who dares to keep you to the fifth watch, but if it is because of muscle weakness, it is blind to her modern science and technology education, and she deserves to die. Gritted his teeth and insisted on doing twenty push-ups, panting and wiping his sweat. Emma, it's so sadistic for my sister to do push-ups. It's like I'm dying every day. With a long sigh, he put on his clothes and fell asleep wrapped in the quilt.
The Tingfang sisters slept sweetly, but the Chen family couldn't sleep. It turned out that in today's birthday gift, I don't know who sent a beautiful girl. When the old man received it, he threw it back into the backyard and went to drink from the front. It made Chen angry again. Chen thinks that the feng shui has not been good recently, and he has been blocking her one by one! Mother Hu persuaded on the side: "It's just a girl, why bother with my wife." Come a young one, so that you can kill the majesty of that one. ”
Chen said angrily: "I'm bah! It's really a good abacus, more considerate than me, the old man, thinking that I was confined, so I sent the girl! Does that look like a good family? I dare to collect anything at home, and there are children in my yard! ”
"My good girl!" Mother Hu's anxious old name was brought out, "It's easy to get better, what are you doing?" Now you have both children and daughters, and you have a lot of money with a girl. The birthday gift given by someone outside, is it difficult for the old man to throw away his hand in front of others? Always save face. You just have to take care of your body and bones, she is from outside and has no birth, and it is not a matter of a word to leave or stay, and it is also worth being angry. ”
Chen Shicai calmed down a little: "I heard in the past that people in the Jiangnan area adopted adopted their adopted daughters and sold them to big families as concubines, do you think that girl is like that?" ”
Mother Hu said, "What does it matter to her." Since you have entered the door, you have to abide by the rules of the Ye family. If you don't follow the rules, you just send it away. Just arrange where she lives? There are people in the east and west compartments now, and there is a brother living in the west room. ”
Chen sneered: "Our family is a big house, so the concubine occupies three rooms." When I was in my mother's house, I was the only girl, and I only needed to live in one room. Aunt Wei, who lived in the south room of the original East Chamber, now has a newcomer, so she moved Aunt Sun to the south of the East Chamber, and asked the girl to live in the West Chamber. Isn't Aunt Sun just thinking that the West Chamber is hot? ”
"I'm afraid that Aunt Sun is unwilling." Hu's mother said, "The newcomer lives with her, and she can meet the master more." ”
"Am I still clinging to her?"
Mother Hu smiled: "It's already a sure thing, you might as well take a good look." Do you say yes or no? ”
Chen thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes, let the new girl live with Aunt Sun." ”
