Chapter Seventy-Four: Seeking Advice
At the beginning of February, it was still cold in Beijing, and a snow was falling.
The subordinates of the Zhou family were busy sweeping the snow on the road.
There was a cough in Mrs. Zhou's room, and when she opened the door, there was a strong smell of medicine.
"Ma'am." The servant woman knelt down and gave a salute and handed over a name post, "The second daughter of Chen Xianggong's family came to see Mrs. Cheng." ”
Mrs. Zhou, who was being fed medicine by the girl on the couch, reached out and pressed her chest.
"Don't tell me if you're looking for her!" She whispered.
The servant woman hurriedly answered yes and hurriedly withdrew.
"Now that it's the New Year, and Mrs. Chen's illness has recovered, what are you doing here? Or send her back. Mrs. Zhou said, looking at Master Zhou.
"I asked, but she didn't leave." Master Zhou said lazily.
"This is our house, drive her away." Mrs. Zhou aired.
"Hurry?" Master Zhou said, looking at his wife, "Do you believe it or not, let's say that we drove her away with the front foot, and she dared to go out and say that she was cured and could come back to life?" ”
Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth.
Master Zhou snorted and smiled, twisting his short beard.
"A child's mind understands calculations." He said.
"I see, we can't touch her light, and we won't touch it, since she came, there has been no good thing at all, but it is a joke." Mrs. Zhou said angrily, "The old Shaanxi Zhou left by grandpa has been called for so many years, and it's good that she came, and in a month or two, she will change us to Old Silly Zhou." ”
Master Zhou's eyebrows jumped, his hand shook, and he pulled off a beard.
Old Silly Week...
"She's able to come back to life, that's true, and now she's just sick. It's not that it can't be cured. Since it's a disease. Then when there is a good time, it can be good to be stupid, not to mention the disease that can't be said, she knows this in her heart, we know it, and the people outside also know it in their hearts. He said.
Mrs. Zhou listened and nodded slowly.
The woman said at the time that she was indeed sick and could not be cured, not that she would not be cured in the future.
"Isn't she just angry? We didn't care about her earlier, so let her be angry. Is there still a time when you haven't deflated? There are two in-laws in total, and she can't count on the Cheng family, but now that she has such skills, don't you just want to take Qiao so that we can treat her better. Master Zhou said, while beating his legs, "Besides, what you like to say outside, horizontal and vertical is just a matter of reputation, and it is not a bad reputation of being a traitor, and it does not hinder any major things." ”
Hear here. Mrs. Zhou only felt a beat in her heart, and she couldn't suppress a cough and turned it up.
"Don't talk about this. Don't talk about this. She hurriedly said.
Master Zhou looked at it puzzled.
"Which one?" He asked.
Mrs. Zhou stroked her chest, and the girl on the side fed saliva before pressing it down.
"Don't say it, don't get in the way, as soon as you say this, my heart beats hard." She gasped and said, "I said that there was nothing wrong with going back, nothing was wrong, but as a result, we couldn't live in peace when we went back." ”
Old Man Zhou laughed.
"It's not all because of this, you can afford me, I look down on you, I beg you, you don't ask me, what's the matter." He got up and copied his clothes, and smiled.
Mrs. Zhou also got up to see her off.
"A woman's family, what else can you do, you have nothing to do, don't go to her, you don't have to eat and drink badly, she can do whatever she likes, she has to feel at ease, you don't have to be angry, it's important to take medicine to support yourself." Master Zhou continued.
Watching Master Zhou walk out of the house, Mrs. Zhou leaned on the table, and the girls were busy beating their legs and knocking their backs.
"The people who went to Jiangzhou haven't come back yet?" Mrs. Zhou thought of something and asked again.
"I guess I'm heading back." The servant woman replied.
Mrs. Zhou exhaled.
"This fifteen, go to Puxiu Temple and get twenty catties of sesame oil." She said, "Exorcise evil spirits." ”
"Isn't Cheng Niangzi a real person? Why don't we go to Chongdao? The servant woman asked.
Mrs. Zhou was suddenly angry and smashed the hand stove in front of her.
"Who's going to burn her! It's really for her! ”
The room was filled with pleas.
In the room, Chen Danniang took a sip of tea after drinking the tea bowl, and Chen Banniang's tea bowl next to her had not moved.
"Eighteen Niang, Cheng Niangzi will wake up in a while." She sat down on her sister's side, blinking and whispering.
Chen Banniang smiled at her.
If it is someone else's house, even if the owner who is asleep will get up immediately, but this Cheng Jiaoniang does not, the master is so, if it is another time, the visitor must feel neglected, or deliberate, at this time he has to get up and leave, or even no longer communicate.
However, this woman may really be simply sleeping, just like a child, who eats when she is hungry and sleeps when she is sleepy.
"Yes, I know." She whispered too.
There was a sound of footsteps inside, Chen Danniang made a woke mouth gesture to her sister, Chen Banniang smiled, and the two of them retracted their gaze and sat upright.
Dressed in a rope, the maidservant opened the tent, wearing a wide-sleeved straight robe, black hair hanging down, and Cheng Jiaoniang, who did not apply powder, came over.
Once seated, each of them bows.
"If you come to visit rashly, I hope the lady will forgive me." Chen Banniang said first.
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Jianniang said and took the water handed by the maidservant.
"Sister Cheng, are you better?" Chen Danniang asked.
Cheng Jianniang nodded in response.
Chen Banniang couldn't help but look at her and think of the arguments of the sisters in the family, thinking of her grandfather's words, in fact, this woman deliberately took advantage of this matter to avoid treatment, such a miracle skill, so valuable money, why did she say that if she couldn't be cured, she wouldn't be cured?
Cheng Jianniang's eyes turned to her, and Chen Banniang looked away a little panicked.
The room was a little awkward, but fortunately, Chen Danniang kept chattering.
"Sister Cheng, it was Eighteen Niang who asked me to bring her to meet you." Danniang said, with a little pride that children are valued.
Chen Banniang's face couldn't help but turn red.
"Really?" Cheng Jianniang looked at her, "You are looking for me, what's the matter?" ”
Chen Banniang was a little flustered, this big and small, what she said was too straightforward, this, how to answer this?
She looked up at the woman in front of her.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her, her expression was blank, and she slowly drank her saliva.
"I think, please ask the lady to teach me how to write." Chen Banniang gritted her teeth and said, bowing her head to salute.
Chen Danniang and the maidservant girl in the house were very surprised.
"Eighteen Niang, do you want to learn words from Sister Cheng?" She shouted.
"Yes." Chen Eighteen Niang said the purpose, but she was not restrained, raised her head and looked at Cheng Jianniang and said, "Eighteen Niang, I admire Cheng Niangzi Mobao, and I take the liberty to ask for learning." ”
"The mountain temple is waiting to be opened?" Cheng Jianniang asked.
Chen Banniang nodded.
"Yes, the lady's words have spread all over the capital, if it weren't for Danniang's talk, I don't know if the road was actually written by you." She said.
The maidservant looked surprised, those words spread all over the capital?
She didn't know much about words, she just thought it was good at the time, but she couldn't say how good it was.
But she knows that the world is looking after books, there are bachelors of scholars in the Hanlin Academy, there are doctors of calligraphy in the Guozijian, and the officials judge by books, and if nothing else, they will talk about their family, because the father and son of the book have quarreled.
The old lady loves books, but the old man Zhang Chun doesn't like it very much, thinking that books are used for literature, and he thinks that everyone's pursuit of books now leads to the text being attached to the book, so his requirements for his disciples are to be beautiful and beautiful, not to work in the Fengge Pavilion.
can spread all over the capital, which shows that the words written by the lady are very good.
"What the lady writes is very different from the common Kai Xing Cao's pen style, and every word seems to be able to have its own style." Chen Ba Niang said, "Niangzi mountain word for the line of books, lying pen bias, temple words for cursive, thin and strange, to be the word for the line of books, but also light and graceful, plum words for regular script, flowing clouds, open words for cursive, there is the wind of Huaisu, but free and easy and strong, these five words, carefully observe from the wind of the two kings, mixed kneading the length of each family, penmanship flesh and bones, is really exquisite. ”
Danniang just started to read and write, and the maid knew a little poetry, and Chen Bainiang's words made the two of them confused.
After Chen Banniang finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Jianniang with a little excitement, as if she had finished speaking a scripture smoothly and waiting for Mr. to decide.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her.
"That's a good point." "But what do you mean?" she said. ”
Chen Banniang's excited expression suddenly froze.
Or, prepared, is it not enough?
In other words, what I said still didn't get to the point.
Chen Bainiang was slightly stunned, but Chen Danniang came back to her senses.
"Yes, sister, what do you mean?" She asked, "What are so many words?" ”
Do not understand?
Chen Danniang doesn't understand, does this Cheng Jianniang really not understand? (To be continued......)
