102 People from the capital
"You said you wouldn't scold my daughter-in-law!"
"Who scolded her? She stole my sesame oil, and I can't say a word yet? You don't want a mother, you have a daughter-in-law, I pulled you up with a handful of and urine back then, and your daughter-in-law was going to kick me out of the door as soon as she entered the door, and I can still count on you to support your old age in the future? Phew...... "Old lady Qiao scolded justifiably, and even Xia Chengxiang scolded this time.
Lee was a little dumbfounded.
I heard that her mother-in-law is used to being unreasonable and scolding, but she always feels that there is a bottom line no matter what, and now it seems that she doesn't have those two words in her mind at all.
Li raised his eyes and saw her father-in-law, Old Man Xia, sitting cross-legged on the other side of the small table, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, smoking a cigarette, as if he didn't hear Old Lady Qiao's unreasonable trouble.
Xia Chengle, the fourth brother in the fourth room, and his sister-in-law Huang were whispering with their heads down, glancing over here from time to time, and the corners of their lips were clearly smeared with contempt and disdain.
Further here, it was the Jiang family, who had not been smiling in the second room, and Xia Chengan, the second brother of Old Lady Qiao, who looked at him anxiously.
Further here, there are the third brother Xia Chenghe and the third sister-in-law Luo Shi, who are worried and look at their husband and wife with concern......
The corner of the clothes behind him was gently pulled, Li lowered his eyes, saw the immature face of Xiao Twelve, and looked at her with a concerned face, his heart couldn't help but warm slightly, and touched Xiao Twelve's head.
She was about to speak, but Eleven Niang on the side opened her mouth with a smile, "Fifth aunt, don't be afraid, when you save your uncle, you can take out a hundred taels of silver, how can anyone really feel sorry for these few drops of sesame oil?" Isn't it, sir? ”
Old Mrs. Qiao was talking energetically, but she was suddenly interrupted by Eleven Niang like this, and choked.
When Huang and Xia Chengle heard this, they sneered lightly beside them.
Old Man Xia's smacking movement froze, and he frowned.
Old Mrs. Qiao saw that Old Man Xia didn't make a sound, and snorted, "Phew! How can you talk to adults, you have a girl's part to interject, there is no tutor! Can Lee compare to my eldest son? He is the future talent master of our family, what is the Li family, he has the posture of a fox spirit, and he ...... my son into five meat and eight vegetables before he entered the door."
Eleven Niang frowned, and glanced at Mrs. Qiao speechlessly.
Do you have to die?
With the fifth uncle's affection for the Li family, it would be strange for her to say this about the Li family.
Eleven Niang shook her head slightly.
Sure enough, before Old Lady Qiao finished speaking, Xia Chengxiang had already shouted, "Mother! ”
Mrs. Qiao was startled, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”
Xia Chengxiang turned his head and walked out, his face was ugly and scary, "I'm going to demolish the new house!" Don't even want to live! ”
Old Mrs. Joe was dumbfounded.
Xia Hongxia hurriedly stopped, "The fifth and fifth, my mother has no intentions, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry......"
Xia Chengxiang didn't appreciate it, his face was full of anger, "On the day of marriage, my mother didn't sit in the court, wasn't this instigated by the eldest sister's attention?" If it weren't for the eldest sister muttering behind her back, my mother would have given my daughter-in-law such a big ugly look when we met for the first time? Get out of the way! ”
Xia Hongxia was speechless, muttered for a long time, and shouted at Mrs. Qiao, "Mother, the fifth child is going to demolish the house, where do I live with your nephew, you should say a soft word!" ”
Old Man Xia raised his head and glanced at Xia Hongxia with pity.
Mrs. Qiao was at a loss, and went to see Old Man Xia, Old Man Xia glared at Old Mrs. Qiao, sighed, and opened his mouth, "Okay, Old Five, you don't know your mother's temper, what is it true to compare with her, I think this noodle is very good, let your daughter-in-law do it, and you will go to the village for a walk after dinner." Now that it is the season of ploughing and planting rice, the business of the blacksmith shop must be very good, and you should go back to work soon after you are busy early, so don't delay the business is serious. ”
seems to be thinking about Xia Chengxiang, but there is a hidden meaning in Xia Chengxiang's unfilial piety to let them leave early.
Xia Chengxiang has come into contact with many people with his master in the town, so he doesn't even need to scrutinize, he can hear the true meaning of Old Man Xia, and he can't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Li naturally noticed it and pulled the hem of his clothes.
The two looked at each other, the concern in Li's eyes was obvious, Xia Chengxiang smiled at his wife and asked her to make breakfast.
He took a deep breath, turned to Old Man Xia and said, "What Dad said is that my mother is just distressed about my eldest sister, and I am afraid that my eldest sister will not have enough room to live in, so she asked for my new house." My daughter-in-law and I both understand. There is no place for us to live at home, and there are not many opportunities for us to come back in the future, so it is better for us to have five rooms and three rooms, and take out ten taels of silver every year to support our parents and mothers, and we don't want the fields at home, leaving them for the family to chew. ”
I had to add a sentence at the end, "Dad, you can divide our five rooms." ”
"Old Five!" Xia Chengan's face changed, and he stepped forward to pull Xia Chengxiang's arm, Xia Chenghe followed and took a step forward, Xia Chengxiang shook his head lightly at the two.
Old Man Xia's face was even more ugly, "Old Five, are you trying to split up?" ”
Xia Chengxiang smiled bitterly, "Dad, where are you going to let us come back to live in the fifth room?" ”
Old Man Xia glanced at Xia Hongxia.
Xia Hongxia and Yang Deshi glanced at each other and took a step back.
Old Man Xia snorted his cigarette, "When you come back, you will live in a new house, and you usually live with your eldest sister." ”
What I thought in my heart was that if one or two of them were not worried, they couldn't wait until the boss passed the hospital exam.
Xia Chengxiang smiled, but he didn't see it, the bed in the new room was the new bed that the second brother spent a few days helping them make, and he and the Li family's sister-in-law were on that bed on their wedding night...... Let the eldest sister and Yang have a strong position? Don't even think about it!
"No need, we'll move to the town early tomorrow morning, and we'll take everything in the new house with us." Especially that bed!
Old Man Xia's face sank, and he was about to get angry, when he suddenly thought of something, stopped, lowered his head, and raised his eyes.
Mrs. Qiao muttered on the side, "It's stingy, your eldest sister is so difficult now, I don't know how to make up for your eldest sister, I really hurt you in vain when I was a child......
It's time to hurt you in vain......"
Old Man Xia glared at Old Lady Qiao.
Old Lady Qiao reluctantly closed her mouth.
Xia Chenghe and Luo sighed in unison, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
After breakfast, Xia Chengxiang and Li went out to visit relatives, and Xia Chenghe and Luo took Banniang, Eleven Niang and Xiao Twelve back to Li's house.
Grandma Li, Aunt Li, and Xiao Huang were drying some old cotton wool, and when they saw them coming back, they smiled and said, "Is the new daughter-in-law's meal delicious?" ”
"Delicious!" Roche smiled and walked over to help.
The two boys of the Li family ran out of the house, "Third Uncle Xia, Aunt Luo." "I took a few sisters to see Li Shuwen's paintings.
Uncle Li invited Xia Chenghe to talk in the house, Xiao Huang went to the stove house to boil water, and left Grandma Li and Aunt Li to talk to Luo.
"Your mother-in-law embarrassed the Li girl?"
Roche nodded.
The grandmother of the Li family sighed, "She has this problem, she has not changed it for decades, and she has suffered you." ”
Luo thought about it, but he didn't tell Xia Hongxia and Mrs. Qiao about the partnership to run the five-room new house, but only gossiped with the Li family's grandmother about some other things, and talked about the reading of the two children of the Li family.
The aunt of the Li family was worried, "The eldest son wants to go to the school in the town to study, but the second child doesn't want to go to study anymore, saying that he is not as good as the eldest son, so he simply gave up writing and started business to make money for the eldest son to study." ”
"Huh?" Roche was surprised, "Isn't it a good read?" Why don't you suddenly want to read it? ”
The aunt of the Li family shook her head, "I've been worrying these days, his father has beaten him, I scolded and scolded, but I didn't listen, and said that if we forced him again, he would go to Cangtong Town to find my eldest brother." ”
Grandma Li answered next to her, "Don't talk about him, he is also filial piety, and I can't bear to work so hard with you and the boss." ”
The Li family's aunt stopped and sighed.
When Xia Chengxiang and the Li family came back and saw the Li family's grandmother, it was already noon.
Xia Chengxiang and the Li family invited the family to the old house for dinner, but were stopped by the Li family's aunt, "Your mother's temperament, they will also listen to the scolding when they go back, it is better to eat at our house, and we will go to the town later, just by the way." ”
The relationship between the two families is good, and the Li family's aunt does not hide what she says, Xia Chengxiang is not angry when she hears it, and says with a smile, "Cheng, wait for my sister-in-law to go to the town next time, and we will be the east." ”
The Li family's aunt glanced at Li, and Li blushed, "Sister-in-law must go." ”
The Li family's aunt laughed, "Cheng! I have to eat you well! ”
After lunch, the family took an ox cart back to the town, and the two boys of the Li family also shouted to follow.
Uncle Li didn't pull anyone else, just sat in two families, and went to the town with a smile all the way.
At the same time as Yanghuai Hutong, I met Fang Shusheng who came back with a stack of books, dressed in a clean and refreshing sky blue cotton robe, his hair was neatly tied, and his body was neat.
The eyebrows are clear and handsome, the big eye sockets that were sunken in the past have also gained a bit of brilliance, and the emaciated face has flesh, which looks very energetic.
Seeing the ox cart coming in, he stepped aside.
Seeing Shi Niang jumping down from the ox cart, his eyes lit up, he leaned up, and then thought of something, frowned and took two steps back, snorted, greeted Xia Chenghe, Luo and the Li family, and went straight into the courtyard.
Banniang laughed.
Li Shuwu went to pull Banniang's sleeve, "What are you laughing at?" Who was that guy just now? ”
Banniang told the whole scholar of Eleven Niang, and the two of them were secretly happy, and the sound of squirming was like a little mouse.
Li Shuwen glanced at the two of them and asked Banniang, "You said that you practiced martial arts in the back garden of your house, and what flowers were planted in the garden, and I will draw them for you as a pattern." ”
Banniang turned her head and looked at Li Shuwen with sparkling eyes, "Really? I'll take you there, and there's a lot of ...... here, and there's a of any color."
took Li Shuwen's hand and ran into the yard.
"Hey, you wait for me......" Li Shuwu also ran in.
Aunt Li shook her head and sighed, "These two stinky boys, you know how noisy it is, how good it would be if the two girls were ......" said, and glanced at the eleventh mother who was holding the little twelve.
Roche laughed at her, "If it's really two daughters, you will be worried." ”
Aunt Li glared at Luo Zhi with disgust, and pulled Luo Zhi towards the courtyard, "Your body hasn't moved yet?" ”
The smile on Roche's face faded a little, and he shook his head.
"Didn't you say that the temple was very effective? How? Aunt Li frowned.
Luo said, "Children are all fate, and they can't be forced." ”
Aunt Li sighed, stopped mentioning the matter, and the two entered the courtyard.
After a while, Mrs. Ding came to talk to Luo, and when she saw that Aunt Li was also there, she smiled and talked about family life.
……
On the second day, Xia Chengxiang and Li came to the town and first went to Yanghuai Hutong.
Luo Che and Xia Chenghe comforted the couple separately, "If you don't have a house, you just have an excuse to live in Zhenshan all the year round, and don't go back to mix up the bad things in the old house." ”
Xia Chengxiang nodded, "I think so too." ”
Li is very grateful for Luo's advice, it is very rare for her to get Luo's words when she is just a beginner, and she has her husband's words before, and she is even more intimate with Luo.
In this way, at the end of June, someone came from the capital, and it was a small guy that Xianyun Pavilion had to use next to the second shopkeeper.
Seeing Shi Niang, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and saluted, "Girl, Miss Mu has arrived." ”
A **-year-old little girl helped a young girl into the house, with a slightly sharpened face, a delicate face, a pair of big eyes that were very beautiful, but staring straight at somewhere, no focus, the little girl reminded loudly, "Girl be careful." ”
Eleven Niang was surprised.
The little girl explained in a low voice, "Miss Mu is suffering from an eye disease and can no longer see people, so the second shopkeeper found a little girl to follow and serve." ”
Eleven Niang remembered that when she met the big man in the capital, he had mentioned Miss Mu
mentioned that the wooden girl was unwell, and it turned out to be her eyes.
But an embroidery girl has bad eyes, how to teach her two sisters embroidery?
Thinking of the words that the big man had mentioned in his letter earlier to take care of her, he sighed softly in his heart, and only thought that he had done a good deed. smiled and greeted him, "How is Miss Mu all the way?" ”
"Thank you Miss Mu for your considerate arrangement, and the second shopkeeper has sent someone to take care of me, I have been fine all the way." Miss Mu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyebrows were clear, and she had a graceful atmosphere.
Banniang shook her eyes wide in front of her, "You really can't see it?" ”
The wooden girl smiled and nodded.
Banniang's eyes showed sympathy, "Then you can't teach us embroidery......" There was a hint of excitement in the regret, "It's not that I don't learn, it's that she can't teach ......"
"Ba Niang!" Erniang and Sanniang whispered in unison to Banniang.
Luo Shi also glared at Banniang, and Banniang covered her mouth with hindsight, her face full of guilt, "I, I didn't mean to, Miss Mu, don't be angry......"
Miss Mu smiled lightly and looked for the place where she came out, "It's okay." Eight girls, yes? Although my eyes are not good, it does not affect embroidery, if the girl wants to learn, I can still teach a thing or two. ”
The voice was clean, gentle, without the meaning of blame, and said, "When I came, my eldest brother had already told me that he would teach a few girls embroidery, and if I couldn't teach it, I wouldn't have made this trip." ”
But he made no secret of his strength.
Eleven Niang's heart moved, she walked over and helped Miss Mu to sit down next to the chair, and called Yan Xia to serve tea, before sitting on Miss Mu's side, "What is the matter with Miss Mu's eyes, can you say it conveniently?" ”
Miss Mu smiled, "It's just a victim of the pursuit of fire, there's nothing inconvenient to say." My father is a small official, my mother has an ancestral double-sided embroidery, my father had an accident, my mother took me and my brother to ask for life, I can't walk will pinch the needle, and my mother learned embroidery for more than ten years, and then my mother died of illness. I was arrogant and did not listen to my brother's dissuasion to enter the first embroidery workshop in the capital, and wanted to sit in the position of the first embroidery lady with double-sided embroidery. ”
She said lightly, her tone was not hurried, and her expression on her face was not half wavering, as if she was telling someone else's story instead of herself.
"This person is so hateful, he actually stole your double-sided embroidery and blinded your eyes, it's so hateful!" Banniang was so angry that she clenched her fists and smashed a few small ones twice, "It's so hateful!" ”
Erniang and Sanniang nodded again and again.
Luo Shi was a little distressed, such a big child was about the same size as her mother, but it was just as distressing, she stepped forward and patted Miss Mu's hand, "Child, it's hard for you......"
The wooden girl smiled faintly.
When Luo thought of Yuan Niang, he was even more distressed.
settled the wooden girl to live in the room next to Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang gave the little girl a reward, left the little girl named Peony to continue to serve the wooden girl, and let Huichun send the little girl back to the capital.
Within two days, Peony looked for Eleven Niang, "The girl said that she wanted to see the flowers embroidered by a few girls and see what she could teach?" ”
Luo Shi didn't even say no, let Miss Mu rest, but Eleven Niang smiled and asked Huichun to ask Erniang and Sanniang for a handkerchief for peony, "You take it to Miss Mu, but my eighth sister can't hold an embroidery needle, she is afraid that she will have to teach it from scratch." ”
Peony grinned and replied.
Luo blamed Eleven Niang in the house, and Eleven Niang smiled and took Luo's arm, leaned on her shoulder and coquettishly, "Mother, have you forgotten what Miss Jì Mu said?" ”
"What's that?"
"Miss Mu said that if she couldn't teach, she wouldn't have made this trip...... She is such a strong person, you said that if you refuse directly, she is afraid that she will be able to come and say goodbye to you immediately. Eleven Niang closed her eyes and rubbed against Luo's shoulder socket, like a kitten.
Luo Shi touched his daughter's head funny, "That's what you said, I see that this wooden girl is an arrogant person." Then let her teach, and if that's right, let your second sister and third sister learn a little ......"
Eleven Niang laughed and rubbed in Luo's house for most of the afternoon, until Erniang and Sanniang walked in with a handkerchief with strange faces.
"Eleven Niang, this wooden girl ......" Er Niang wanted to speak and stopped.
Roche wondered, "What's wrong with the wooden girl?" ”
Sanniang handed the handkerchief in her hand to Luo, "Mother, look." ”
It is a handkerchief embroidered by Sanniang, ink and ink Hanmeitu. The white satin fabric, the gray-white ink branches, and the large red plum blossoms are fresh and elegant.
"What's ...... about this handkerchief" Luo was stunned, took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, and looked at Sanniang in amazement, "This, is it embroidered by the wooden girl?" ”
Sanniang nodded, pointed to the gray-white ink branch and said, "I have already split three strands to embroider this place, and occasionally mixed with white threads to create a gray-white ink effect, you all say that the embroidery is excellent, but ......"
Her eyes were shining, and she asked Roche, "Mother, do you know how many strands the wooden girl split to embroider?" Stereotyped writing! With such a thin thread, she can actually split eight strands, fly the needle and walk the thread, and it will be done in a moment! ”
Erniang nodded again and again, her eyes were full of envy and admiration, "Miss Mu is very powerful!" ”
Roche looked surprised, "Really? ”
Erniang and Sanniang nodded, "Really!" ”
Roche smiled, "Then you will study hard with Miss Mu, and it will not be in vain for Miss Mu to go all the way here." ”
Erniang Sanniang smiled and nodded.
