Chapter 3: Blessings
It turned out that a new champion passed by today, and the gong sounded outside to open the way. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Hua Dingguo sat in the hall, his fingers slightly buckled on the armrests of the chair. The Hua family and the Xue family are not as good as they used to be, so they can only pin their hopes on the imperial examination, hoping that Xue Luo and Hua Mingshan can both go to high school. Therefore, they specially invited someone to teach, because the Xue family has been a little uneasy recently, so they invited Mr. to the Hua family.
They felt that their daughter's family could not always be busy with needlework all day long, so they let their daughter study with them. Mrs. Hua said that her sister's daughter was naturally intelligent, so she called Kuju over.
The garden behind the flower house has a very beautiful view of the south of the Yangtze River. Walking all the way, the sound of running water is everywhere in my ears. Everyone set up a reading place in a wide corridor and sat on the floor. There are usually no people passing by here, only birds and finches passing their shadows over the railing.
Xue Luo and Hua Mingshan are twelve years old, Xue Kening and Hua Mingxiu are eleven years old, and Jiuzhong is ten years old. Two boys sit side by side at the front, while three girls sit side by side at the back, and Kuju sits in the middle.
In the morning, just after the family had breakfast, the Xue family's carriage stopped in front of the door.
Xue Luo walked a little slower, because he had to take care of his sister behind him. Waiting to stand still in front of the hall, a woman walked out from behind Xue Luo and made a regular salute.
After meeting the elders, the young masters and ladies in this room relaxed. Hua Mingxiu stepped forward to take Xue Kening's hand and asked a series of questions: "I heard that you were lying in bed a few days ago and couldn't get up, are you feeling better?" Have you ever eaten something I asked someone to give you? ”
Xue Kening didn't answer, secretly glanced at Hua Mingshan who was walking out, and then deliberately said to Hua Mingxiu: "A few days ago, someone sent me food, and the old mother said that the good things in the whole city were moved to me. But ......"
Xue Kening stopped talking. Hua Mingxiu was weak and stood there without moving.
"But I remember that the man brought me a letter, and the handwriting on it didn't look like yours," she finally asked. ”
Hua Mingxiu laughed dryly: "He is thin-skinned, I'll ask for him." ”
"You tell him to ask himself." She turned around and left a back for Hua Mingxiu, but there was no look of annoyance on her face, only a smile.
Hua Mingxiu pulled her over and coaxed: "It's rare for sisters to be together, what do you always mention him." Let me tell you, there is a new sister in the family, my aunt's child, and I think she is quite compatible with you. ”
"You, I haven't seen her yet, how do you know that we are in love?"
As soon as Xue Kening finished saying this, Jiuzhong entered the house. Chizuki beside her had an extra stack of clothes in her hand. Hua Mingxiu stepped forward, flipped through her clothes a few times, and said, "My mother loves you and gave you all the new clothes." ”
Just now, my aunt called Kuju over and gave her some clothes. Kue had a lot of beautiful clothes when she was young, but when she got older, she had very few clothes, and the ornaments on her body were very simple. Mrs. Hua thought that she was at a good age, and the girl's family should not be disgraced, so she picked out some clothes for her to wear. She was originally afraid that Jiuzhong would dislike it, but who knew that Jiuzhong took it for granted, and said:
"Don't hide it from my aunt, my recent clothes are all leftovers worn by others. I think it's comfortable to wear, and there's nothing wrong with it. ”
However, Madame Hua twisted a knot in her heart. She knew that her sister would not treat her children harshly. If my sister is not very busy, she will never let her children wear some of the leftovers of others. She looked at the one Kue was wearing now, and realized that it was the same one she had worn the year before when she had seen Kue.
Among the three families of the Song family, the Xue family, and the Hua family, the Song family is the one with the thickest background. Madame Hua was faintly uneasy.
Kuju asked Chizuki to go down and put away her clothes. She looked into the room and saw a girl dressed in goose yellow. Between the four eyes, the ninefold heart said:
"Why do I feel like this man is my old friend?"
Then Xue Kening thought the same way, so much so that he forgot the number of etiquette and kept staring at the nine. Hua Mingxiu looked at Jiuzhong, then at Xue Kening, and laughed at them: "What do I say, you must fall in love, look, let me say it." ”
"What's right? Don't talk about the book you listened to yesterday. Hua Mingshan outside lifted the curtain and beckoned a few of them, "Mr. is here, don't stay here." ”
Between the curtains, Hua Mingshan quickly glanced at Xue Kening, and saw that her face was much better, so he was relieved.
The three girls huddled together. On the way, Xue Kening went to ask for Hua Mingxiu's peace charm again. Hua Mingxiu took a rare break from the peace charm and put it in the palm of her hand.
"Here you go. Ever since you were a child, you've loved to play with my peace charms. ”
Jiuzhong glanced at the crimson peace charm and said with a smile: "If Sister Kening likes this thing, I'll make another one for you." My needlework is also good. ”
Xue Kening smiled bitterly, handed back the peace charm, and said, "This thing is not rare, if I want to have it at home, I can save 1,800 pieces." What is rare is a blessing, but no one goes to the Buddha for me to ask for something to save my life. ”
Hua Mingxiu grew up with her since she was a child, she was familiar with her heart, and she knew that she was lamenting her life experience, so she held her hand and said, "If you marry into my family in the future, my brother will love you." When the time comes, don't say any peace charms, he can also bring you the fairy grass in front of the Jade Emperor. Why do you say such discouraged words? ”
This is obviously something that only friends talk about. Kue knew that he couldn't interject anything at this time, so he shut his mouth and walked silently with them all the way to the hallway. After sitting down, she quietly looked at Xue Kening and found that she had endured a tear.
On this day, Jiuzhong was not at home, so Song Changping was more relieved to take some people back. Originally, he was still leading his son's brother, but today he has led some scoundrels on the street. If his mother cares about him, he will contradict her with the same old saying. As for the father, he didn't care, he left him alone.
After several people drank a few pots of wine, Song Changping blushed. He said, "I have something on my mind to tell you." ”
"Everybody's friends, you name it."
"My mother hurts Jiuju so much, if she stuffs all the family's belongings into Jiuju in the future, won't I lose a lot?"
After the scoundrels looked at each other, one of them smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, we'll give you an idea." The most expensive thing is getting married. The sooner you get married, the sooner you marry and have children, the sooner your parents will give you most of the money. When the time comes, when Jiuzhong gets married, give her a few broken quilts and let her get out. ”
In fact, they know it in their hearts. Even if it is biological, the family will not leave the property to the daughter, not to mention that the nine times are actually ...... To put it bluntly, Song Changping is worrying about the sky. However, these scoundrels can persuade him like this, and they also have their own plans.
Song Changping obviously thought the idea was good. He put down the wine glass heavily and laughed, "Cheng, it will be over tomorrow!" ”
