Chapter 36: The Begging Festival (1)
Suddenly, a servant shouted, "Master Su is here." ”
When a few people saw that it was, they saluted one after another: "I've seen Master Su." ”
Su Mu looked at the Wen family's building, his eyes showed dissatisfaction, and he said to the officials on the side: "Why is it so high?" ”
The official on the side panicked: "My lord, in a hurry, it is difficult to build such a high color building for a while. ”
Su Mu frowned and said, "Go find some more bamboos and cover them with ten layers." ”
A few officials were stunned when they heard this, it was almost dark this day, where to find so many bamboos, isn't it embarrassing for them?
Wen Jing looked at the embarrassed faces of the officials, and just wanted to step forward, Wen Wuniang had already taken the lead, walked to Su Mu's side and said with a smile: "This color building is really too short, the big color building in the capital can be as high as more than five zhang, this building is only two zhang high, I am afraid it is not as high as the color building of the rich people in the county." ”
"What Wu Niang said is very true, how can the color building of our county government be compared." After Su Mu finished speaking, he glared at the officials.
Several officials hurriedly said, "Let's go here." ”
"Lord Su, please forgive Qi Niang for talking too much, the color building is to send the world's good wishes for the begging festival, I don't care how high, as long as the heart is sincere, it is late, you let them build such a high color building now, in case something happens, wouldn't it be a sidewalk, and let the county people say that yours is not, too ostentatious and more malicious speculation about the tax use." Wen Jing said.
Su Mu stared at Wen Jing for a moment, and said, "What Qi Niang said is very true, according to you." ”
Wen Wuniang was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Qi Niang with her eyes like a knife, there are you everywhere!
The officials breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Wen Jing gratefully, and secretly gave a thumbs up in their hearts.
It's not that Wen Jing deliberately couldn't get along with Wen Wuniang, but it was getting late, and if she tossed this colorful building so many times, it was estimated that she would not be able to sleep peacefully this night, she was extremely tired, so she sent these idlers to rest early.
After Su Mu and his party left, Wen Wuniang looked at Qi Niang with a smile and said: "Seventh sister is really good at living now, when I think I didn't leave Beijing, I still owe thousands of taels of silver in the ready-to-wear shop and gold shop, I don't know if my mother paid it off for you." ”
Wen Jing was stunned, in debt? If she owes a few thousand taels and wants to pay it back herself, it will be really a disaster, this former Wen Qiniang still has the bad habit of not paying off debts?
"Doesn't the seventh sister remember?" Wen Wuniang said proudly.
"It's what I owe, I will naturally pay it back, thank you Fifth Sister for reminding me." Wen Jing smiled and went back to the room, the sky fell and I will talk about it tomorrow, she is so sleepy now that she can't stand.
Wen Wuniang's face turned cold, this sick man's complexion is getting better and better day by day, but he never thought that the person who was half of his body in the soil would come back to life again, and he was more ** than her, this Su Mu didn't know what Lu Dao thought, and he would know who he invited tomorrow.
……
The next day, it was finally the begging festival, and the backyard was busy early in the morning.
"Seventh sister, third sister, fifth sister, let's wrap our nails." Wen Banniang ran out with a basket of impatiens petals.
"Okay." Wen Jing took the basket and looked at the impatiens with different colors and delicate dripping with dew, curious, but there was no abnormality on his face.
I saw Qingshuang come out with a clay urn, and then put all the petals in, and then sprinkled some white powder into it.
"Is this sugar?" Wen Juro asked curiously.
Poof, Qingshuang laughed and said, "This is called alum." ”
"What is alum? Can you eat it? Wen Juro asked unrelentingly.
"Of course not, you don't like to eat it, the taste is bitter and astringent, do you think it's as sweet as sugar?" Wen Sanniang looked at her youngest brother lovingly.
"Then what are the sisters doing with this?" Wen Shilang watched Qingshuang take a wooden stick and start pestle it in the pottery urn one by one.
"Of course it's a nail wrap, you boy go play, don't play with us." Wen Wuniang pretended to bombard him.
Wen Shilang frowned, and said angrily: "I'm just a man at home, if I don't play with you, who will I play with, I also have to wrap my nails, which law stipulates that only girls can wrap their nails?!" ”
Looking at Wen Shilang's indignant little face, everyone covered their mouths and laughed.
"Shiro is good, if your father sees that you have dyed your nails, take care of your skin." Wen Jing said with a smile.
As soon as he heard the word father, Wen Shilang really stopped making trouble, and he said casually, at this age, the more you don't let him do things, he just has to do it.
After pestle for a while, after seeing that the petals in the pottery urn had turned into flower mud, Qingshuang took a stack of soft leaves and put them next to the pottery urn, pulled a piece of cotton thread, took a pair of scissors, and then clapped his hands and said: "Everything is ready, who will come first?" ”
Wen Banniang said excitedly: "I'll come first!" ”
"Let the third sister come first." Wen Jing shook Wen Banniang's outstretched fingers.
Wen Banniang glanced at Wen Sanniang, if Wen Jing didn't mention it, she would have forgotten about Wen Sanniang, feeling that Wen Jing pinched her hand, and immediately understood that after Sanniang was divorced, she had not yet looked for another in-law's family, and in terms of seniority, Sanniang was also the biggest, so she smiled and said: "Well, third sister, stretch out your hand." ”
Wen Sanniang was stunned, she didn't expect Wen Qiniang to say this, even Banniang, who has always been very arrogant, noticed her, and said a little shyly: "The third sister is old, and she won't cover it, and she will gossip in vain." ”
"Where is the third sister talking about this, let outsiders chew the root of their tongues, our sisters can be happy, people live for a lifetime, hurry for decades, just be worthy of yourself, why care so much about the eyes of the world." Wen Jing said, she never thinks that women are pleasing to themselves, even if no one appreciates them, she can't treat herself badly, and although Wen Sanniang is a wife, she is only twenty-three years old, which is like a flower in modern times, and she treats herself as an old woman because of her psychological burden, and she can't look at it because of her psychological burden.
"This is unacceptable, how can our daughter's family, who is not married to her father, married to her husband, and whose husband is dead to her son, stand before others."
Wen Sanniang was taken aback, this remark had never been heard in books such as women's training, three from four virtues, etc., although it sounded counterintuitive, but it really shocked her heart, and there was a strange itching feeling in her heart, and the big stone that had been pressing on her heart began to crack a crack.
Wen Wuniang's face also showed surprise, Wen Qiniang, who has always been obedient and cowardly, was able to say these words in her mouth, which was really a demon.
Only Wen Banniang couldn't help but nodded, with a look of worship in her eyes.
Wen Jing only smiled and said nothing, she didn't expect a sentence or two to change the traditional education that these sisters had been instilled in since childhood, but judging from Wen Sanniang's face, at least those words were not said in vain, she listened to them, and remembered them, giving her some time to digest.
Qingshuang pinched a small pinch of risk petal mud, put it on Wen Sanniang's nails, and then wrapped it with lotus leaves, and tied it up with a few laps of cotton thread after the most untight, and then also gave Wen Wuniang, Wen Jing, and Wen Banniang all over again, everyone had ten lotus leaf nail sets on their hands, and when they were begging for the festival at night, there would be the color of impatiens on the nails, and they would not fade after washing, and they could be kept for a long time.
