Chapter 193: Busy
It's not okay to go on like this, I have to find something to do for myself, and only when I'm busy won't I think about Jiang Mingde. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Yujuan said to herself in her heart.
But at the moment, there is no need to worry about money, and the housework is all for Xiaomei and Yue'e, so she has to find something else to do.
Lin Yujuan cleaned up her mood, and every day at noon, Xiaomei or Yue'e accompanied her to the Wenchang branch to listen to Mr. Bao's lecture with Yusuo. Speaking of which, this old gentleman was introduced by Jiang Mingde, and it is not easy for Lin Yujuan to evaluate whether his talent is very high, but looking at the way he speaks, Lin Yujuan still likes it very much.
An hour of lecture time a day is not enough for Lin Yujuan to pass the leisure time. She wondered if she wanted to learn an instrument so that she could play the songs she remembered from her past life. But what kind of instrument to learn made her think about it for a long time.
She can't play the flute and flute, she tried it in her previous life, and it takes a lot of skill, and she doesn't like the pipa very much. There is also the piano, to be honest, Lin Yujuan doesn't like the piano very much, she feels that the timbre is low, rich and simple, and she can't appreciate it. The zither is very good, the voice is melodious and beautiful, and she liked to listen to the guzheng music very much in her previous life.
Now that you have decided to learn Zheng, the next step is to find a master. Lin Yujuan didn't know where to find it, so she could only ask Mr. Bao, who taught her to read.
Mr. Bao heard Lin Yujuan say that he wanted to learn the zheng, although he couldn't figure out her reluctance to learn the piano, he was still very accomplished in playing the piano. But she didn't say anything, and introduced several famous female zhengs in Yangzhou to her.
"The most famous is the Liang family, known as "playing the zither is wonderful", but it may not be so easy for you to learn the zither under her. She also has a disciple Sangu, Liu Qiao, but she has been to Jiangnan in the past few years. There is also a Tian Yuhuan, now she is in Yangzhou, you are expected to get her guidance. ”
Tian Yuhuan, the name is quite nice. Lin Yujuan asked again: "Does that gentleman know where this Master Tian Yuhuan lives?" ”
Mr. Bao touched the beard on his chin and thought, "It's not clear, I've heard people mention that it seems to live on the ridge on the east bank of the Xiaoqinhuai River, which is where Qianguan Street is." You'll have to inquire again. ”
Lin Yujuan thanked Mr. Bao and returned to Dongguan Street with Xiaomei. Now that it is almost the end of the year, there are many more pedestrians on the street than usual, and it is very lively in her eyes, and Lin Yujuan feels more and more lonely.
She is now quarreling with the Qi family, and she has become estranged from her parents a lot. The eldest brother and sister have their own families and children, and the younger brother who has been with her for the past two years will get married in a few months. Everyone has a companion, and she is even more alone. Lin Yujuan shook her head, why did she think of this again, it seems that she is still not busy enough to think about this nonsense.
After arriving at Dongguan Street, he did not go back to Lin Ji directly, but went to the bookstore and bought a few novels and miscellaneous notes to read. The sun sets late in winter, and Lin Yujuan doesn't plan to go out again in the afternoon.
There are not many days before the New Year, Lin Yujuan plans to put the matter of learning Zheng first, and at the end of the year, Tian Yuhuan will have a lot of things to do, so she rashly went to the door to apprentice for fear that something would be wrong.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Lin Yujuan took Sister-in-law Li and Yue'e Xiaomei to Youjiazhuang to prepare for the New Year. The business will not close until the 29th of the lunar month, and Li Dajiang and the others will still stay in the shop. And the shops on both sides should also be guarded.
She and Qi just had a few words because of their different concepts, and they were not so angry that they didn't even go home for the New Year.
After the mother and daughter met, they had a tacit understanding and did not mention the affairs of the Jiang family, but only said some ordinary things.
After two more days of mother and daughter, Qi asked tentatively: "Yujuan, Mom knows that it is wrong to have that idea last time." But you're not going to find someone to marry? Another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it will be even more difficult to find someone when you are older. Hey, I'm scared to death. ”
Lin Yujuan was a little helpless, why did she start urging marriage again. Although she is less than twenty now, people here generally get married early, and if she doesn't marry early, she really has to wait to be a stepmother.
Reason told her to find an ordinary man to marry and give birth to three or five children. The rest of your life is to revolve around your children, at least you won't feel lonely. But emotionally, she couldn't accept another blind marriage and dumb marriage. I've already compromised once, and it turned out badly, and I don't want to do it again.
"Mom, don't worry about it. Doesn't it say that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren? Relax your mind. Besides, I'm doing well right now? ”
Seeing that Lin Yujuan still had such an attitude, Qi swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach. She was afraid that the mother and daughter would have to quarrel again, and in the end, they would not even be able to live in peace during the New Year.
Early in the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Sister-in-law Li took Yue'e back to the city for a family reunion. After Yusuo finished everything in the city, he also returned to Youjiazhuang.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Yujuan lay on the bed listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and she still remembered her relatives and friends in her previous life. Unable to fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, Jiang Mingde's figure burrowed into her mind again. She couldn't help but wonder if he had gone home, and if he hadn't gone home, where would he be spending the New Year now?
As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Lin Yujuan was going back to the city with Yusuo.
Qi Shi was puzzled: "What are you going to do in the city, you woman's family is not good to stay at home." ”
"Mom, I'm going back to the city to listen to Mr. Yusuo's lectures, and I plan to learn something else." Lin Yujuan answered patiently.
Qi couldn't understand why she couldn't stay with her parents in peace, or find a man to marry and teach her husband and children at home. In a woman's family, it's amazing not to be blind if you know a few words. Do you still need to study after my husband?
"You're not a man, you can't take the show exam after you recognize so many words, what do you do after learning? It's better to embroider more embroidery or something, do you see that you can still see people when you embroider things yourself? ”
You can't blame her, you can't blame her, this is an era that pays attention to women's lack of talent is virtue. Lin Yujuan silently read it to herself in her heart.
"Mom, that's also home in Yangzhou City. Besides, the city is also more lively, and it is also convenient to buy and sell something. Just let me go back. ”
When Qi heard Lin Yujuan's tone, she didn't think it was lively enough, and she began to be overly concerned again. Shaking her head, she let Lin Yujuan go back to the city, and she kept sighing in the house.
"Mother-in-law, are you uncomfortable with your sister-in-law's affairs again?" Luo Hongmei asked.
