Chapter 24: Difficulties
86_86882When the grandmother of the second wife of the third room was released, they could give two hundred taels of self, and there were also a few acres of paddy fields! The fifth room is much richer than the third room, how can fifty taels be used?
Mrs. Yuanda's slap on her face really hurt.
She was about to lick her face and beg again, but Fuyan came up and clamped her without making a sound, and said with a smile: "Mama has a lot of things in Baoxing Pavilion, and I think it will take a long time to clean up." If you don't press tightly, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out until the curfew at night. β
Mama Ping's back was cold.
Fuyan, this damn girl!
She hated it so much, but she had to go with her.
She has also been an errand by Mrs. Yuan's side for so many years, whether it is when she is in the Lu family of Zhixingzhai or in the Dou family of Baoxingge, she has little other silver income in her hands. It's just that the way is not legitimate, she took it behind Mrs. Yuanda's back. As soon as Fuyan mentioned it, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say any more, for fear that Fuyan would break it, and she wouldn't even have fifty taels by then. It's enough to take a board for this kind of thing.
When Mrs. Yuan put down her chopsticks, Dou Miaojing and her sister stopped moving their chopsticks. They each put down their chopsticks, wanting to avoid it, but Mrs. Yuan didn't signal, so they didn't dare to move.
It wasn't until Mama Ping was taken away by Fuyan that they were a little more relaxed.
After all, this matter was not strictly taught by Mrs. Yuan, and as a daughter, Dou Miaojing and her sister should avoid it. But Mrs. Yuan didn't let them, it seems that they deliberately let them learn the skills of cooking.
Dou Miaojing's blank gaze fell on Dou Miaoqin's side face, and as if she thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up.
In my previous life, it was around this time that my sister followed her mother to learn housekeeping.
She didn't even see that Mrs. Yuan Da meant this.
It's just that she will not teach herself in this life, she is worried. Both longing and fear. She wants to learn, but she feels big just thinking about those complicated interpersonal relationships and human relationships, and she can't imagine that she will have to be involved in them for the rest of her life. But don't learn - don't you have to preside over the feed in the merchant's house?
Hey, didn't she think about it and never get married?
But she was unwilling, she didn't marry in her last life, and she became an old girl.
"Miaojing? What's wrong with you, smirking and frowning for a while. Dou Miaoqin bumped her arm and teased her with a smile.
Dou Miaojing touched her face, but fortunately she didn't blush. He stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm a little tired and want to sleep." β
"Want to sleep just after eating?" Mrs. Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
I felt that my little daughter had grown up, and in a blink of an eye, her original form was revealed.
She shook her head, called the big girl Ziying, and asked her to lead Dou Miaojing to wash and take a nap.
Dou Miaojing got up, saluted Mrs. Yuanda, and left with Ziying.
She's better not to get married, it's good to be like this all the time. In her previous life, Mrs. Zhou often said to her, "If you are not stupid, you are not deaf, and you are not a family man." She decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb more in the future, put away her sensitive thoughts, and be an idler in the eyes of her elders.
Dou Miaoqin instructed Ziying: "Don't let the second lady lie down immediately, accompany her to walk a few more steps in the room, so as not to accumulate food." β
Ziying smiled and replied "yes".
It's been a long time since I've seen the second lady come to Baoxing Pavilion for dinner. My wife must be in a good mood today.
The wind after the rain is gentle and gentle, stirring the dragon claw locust on the side of the road and shaking gently, shaking off a piece of residual rain.
She vaguely heard her sister talking to her mother.
ββ¦β¦ I thought my sister was always in a state of mind these days, so she shouldn't have fallen into an evil spirit. Today I see that she is talking like a truth, and she does not seem to be a demonic nonsense. Mother, do you want to take my sister to Lingyin Temple? Even if it's not evil, I should thank the Bodhisattva and bless my sister to wake up. β
"Well, we'll go when Miao's body is well."
Dou Miaojing's eyes were red, and she was indescribably moved.
She knew that when she was asleep, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Yuan knelt in front of the Buddha hall day and night to ask for the Bodhisattva's blessing. And Dou Miaoqin also took care of her in front of the bed.
If you are not a relative, who can give this kindness?
Once again, she was ashamed of herself in her previous life.
Yes, she doesn't look like everyone in the house. The eyebrows are not like the nose and the mouth are not like the mouth, but at least, the blood in her bones is connected with them.
Dou Miaojing hadn't slept in Baoxing Pavilion for a long, long time.
Ziying asked her, "Where does the second miss want to rest?" β
Dou Miaojing thought for a while: "It's good for my mother to be there." By the time you've cleaned up the rest of the place, I'm almost past this sleepiness. β
Ziying arranged to open it and instructed a few rough maids to bring water and send spittoons or something.
Dou Miaojing touched the quilt on Mrs. Yuanda's bed, and her heart was warm. She had never slept in Mrs. Yuanda's bed as long as she could remember, and she rarely even came into this room.
It turns out that the words about Mrs. Yuan in my memory have become so unfamiliar. Now that I am familiar with it again, there is an inexplicable sourness.
Thank God for giving her another chance to live.
This nap, she slept very deeply, and she was also very peaceful.
In the afternoon, Lu Chengyang came to check her pulse, but he didn't know what he had diagnosed, so he prescribed a bunch of medicines and ordered someone to catch them.
Mrs. Yuan thought that there was something wrong with her body, and she was so frightened that she wanted to send someone to call Lu Taixun in. Lu Chengyang hurriedly said: "Cousin Miaojing's heavenly grains of rice have not entered, but I am afraid that I will hurt my vitality." I'm just making up for her, so my aunt doesn't have to worry. β
Believe in him to be the devil!
Dou Miaojing rolled her eyes at him. Because she was burned, I was afraid that I would annoy him again, and I must have thought of some way to torment her. Those medicines must be bitter to death.
Lu Chengyang grinned, like an adult who didn't remember the villain's generosity. He said to Mrs. Yuan: "My cousin's body is fine, and I will also resign from my aunt." The hospital is very busy, and my uncle doesn't want my eldest brother to be tired, so he sent someone to urge me to go back today. β
Originally, Lu Chengyang was a foreign man, and it was a little inappropriate for him to live here to see Dou Miaojing's illness. At that time, I thought that Dou Miaojing liked this cousin very much, just as she was a child, she was happy to see her cousin here, maybe she would be fine. That's why Lu Chengyang lived in the Dou family.
Now that Dou Miaojing's body has healed, he should indeed avoid suspicion.
Mrs. Yuan Da appreciates Lu Chengyang's personality. This nephew knows the general situation, knows the proportions, and is capable enough. I hope that in the future, he will be able to support the old plaque of Zhixingzhai.
After sending Lu Chengyang away, Mrs. Yuan discussed the matter of Mama Ping with Dou Miaoqin: "Just let her go, empty-handed, others or when we are in the fifth room is a stingy servant, and treats the old servant who has served for more than ten or twenty years." If it spreads out, it will inevitably have a bad reputation. β
She was angry just now, and she just wanted to slap Mama Ping. But afterwards, I still remembered in my heart that I shouldn't be so irrational.
Dou Miaoqin heard that her mother had such concerns, and she was also quite worried.
Seeing that they had a headache all day long just for the sake of Mama Ping, Dou Miaojing really felt that it was not easy for the housekeeper. The upper part has to serve the elderly, the lower part has to restrain the servants, and the family members have to take care of the relationship, and they are so tired of living.
But without that, what would they have left?
Dou Miaojing's eyes were moist, and she spurned herself in her heart, while enjoying the comfort of Mrs. Yuanda's hard work, and on the other hand, she was very disdainful of the world of vain and wronged people. She never knew that in her eyes, her virtuous and capable mother would also have times when she was puzzled. β»Today's update,Momoda~β»γ
