Chapter Fifty-Six: No Profit Can't Be Early(3,005 Chapters)
Because of their excitement and joy, Li Yao and Han Jin didn't pay attention to anything else when they came to the kitchen. So after Wu came with his daughter, the two didn't find out.
For example, these secrets: the ostensibly noble King Kang snored while sleeping, occasionally making a pig snort; Although Wu used to look elegant and sociable on the outside, he was actually quite mean on the inside; And Fu Jingheng, who is the eldest grandson of the eldest concubine, inexplicably did not invite his two aunts to see him......
In short, all of them are exiles in the imperial court, and they eat, live and travel together, and it is not easy to keep any secrets or privacy. The words of these three people were overheard.
The people who eavesdropped outside were not only Wu's mother and daughter, but Aunt Chen's mother and daughter also rushed over, and the curious Li Yi also followed. They were eavesdropping, so they didn't reveal anyone to each other.
But Li Yi couldn't help it, he was really happy for his sister, at this time, he didn't care about the psychology that other people wanted to hear more, so he walked into the kitchen with a smile: "Ah Yao, how much money did you earn?" ”
Putting aside the prejudice against his sister, as long as his sister is right, Li Yi is firmer in defending his sister's position, in fact, he is not much annoying.
Despite this, Li Yao still had reservations when she spoke to her brother: "Brother, don't worry about this, in short, all the money earned is given to grandmother, and there will be no shortage of food for my brother." ”
"Cousin!" Li Yi suddenly came in, followed by others, and Han Jin restrained his joyful expression.
"Young Master Cousin." Noble smiled and called out to Li Yi in a regular manner.
"Hmm." Li Yi smiled and nodded to the master and servant.
Seeing that Li Yi had been exposed, the others inevitably followed. At this time, there were others in the kitchen, and Li Yao and the others felt that Fang Cai's words seemed to be overheard, so they felt uncomfortable. Therefore, when everyone spoke to each other, they were all playing haha, false and real.
After thinking about it, Han Shi felt that it was nothing. Anyway, I didn't say how much money I made. Besides, the money was given to the old lady, and others wanted to pull out the silver from the old lady, but it was not easy! So she has nothing to worry about.
She didn't know that what her daughter said about giving all the money to her grandmother was actually a supplement to what she had overheard.
Because of Li Yao's description, everyone present thought that all the money Li Yao earned from selling her son was given to Mrs. Li.
When bathing in the firewood room that night, Aunt Chen, who helped her daughter wipe her back, said in a sour tone: "I didn't expect your third sister to have such luck, I used to see her eating and drinking, but I thought she was sick, but I didn't think about it, but let her eat something." I'm surprised, when I was in Yazhou before, why didn't I see that fat man who knew tea and rice skills, but now he can? Is it that when I was in Yazhou, I didn't have enough food at home, and I didn't eat well, so the fat man's tea and rice skills were not obvious? ”
After entering Beijing, she didn't show her skills in tea and rice! Hmph, no matter what she is, she actually uses some lowly skills to sensationalize, serious young lady, who is proficient in cooking, she is not too embarrassed. Li Pei had a gloomy face, and splashed the water in the bathtub out.
At this time, the daughter of the official eunuch said that she knew some cooking skills, but that was also false. They are just under the service of the maid and cook who know how to cook, and they know what procedures and materials are needed for a certain dish, but they don't know how to do it. That's why Li Pei said this.
Her daughter's words made Aunt Chen frown, and she reprimanded with a straight face: "You kid, your grandfather is this age, and now that he is exiled in the stone forest, will he return to Beijing, the chance is already very slim, if you don't learn some means and skills, how will you eat and marry in the future?" ”
"Marry and eat, mother, did you say that it was down? If the person who marries is rich and powerful, I don't believe that I have a bad life! Li Pei is proud of her appearance and talent, and Li Jimin's reputation is outside, so she has the idea of relying on the person she marries.
"Exile to that barbarian land, where will there be a lover to marry you! You kid, why do you still say such ignorant things! ”
"Mother, you are destroying your own prestige! What is your daughter and I who can't compare to that Li Yao to let you say this about me? ”
Seeing that her daughter pouted and lost her temper, Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment before she eased her tone and persuaded her: "In the end, a woman's family still needs some dowry to rely on more." If not, you won't be able to stand up in the future. My aunt can't compare to the Han family so far, and this is not because my aunt has no money dowry. ”
Aunt Chen's thoughts, she just thinks so. This kind of thing is divorced from the wife, and most people will not do it unless they have to.
What is the situation of exile, after all, after experiencing it once, Li Pei still has some spectrum in his heart. At this time, hearing Aunt Chen's complaints, she couldn't help but lose confidence in the future. Although the silver is a blockage, but without it, it is difficult to move an inch. Look at the Fu family, now relying on others to help, they don't even dare to open their mouths if they want to eat something good......
Seeing that her daughter rolled her eyes and didn't say anything, as if she understood her words, Aunt Chen made persistent efforts to persuade her gently: "In the future, don't always be cold to your third sister, coax her, let her teach you some skills, and change the money." I'm incompetent, I've been with your father and your brother over the years, and they will all be your support in the future. In front of others, you pay attention to me, how important is the reputation of your daughter's family, you don't know, you must not call me "mother" in front of others, do you hear? ”
Li Pei pursed her mouth again, and said with a complaint: "Since the third sister was rescued by hanging, she has become unwilling to suffer at all. How many times have I offended her openly and secretly with Yue'er before, mother, do you think she can be coaxed by me? I've seen enough! That's it, mother, how do you let me coax her? Seeing that her sister-in-law could earn money, her brother jumped up. Let her rely on her brother, and her brother still doesn't know if she can rely on it?
felt that Li Yi had some alienated thoughts about their mother and daughter, not only Li Pei, but also Aunt Chen. However, she is older and looks at the problem more comprehensively and deeply, she doesn't think that Li Yi eased her relationship with her sister because of the silver, but what is the problem?
Li Pei didn't know what Li Yao said to Li Yi that day, so she couldn't tell Aunt Chen why, which made Aunt Chen a little unable to touch the monk at this time.
Since she didn't know why, Aunt Chen didn't want to think about it first, she muttered for a while and said: "Even if you don't coax her with your face, don't offend her again in the future, you can watch and grasp it." Where is the way to learn the craft of tea and rice? Learn what she's good at, and if not, let her memorize recipes for you. Anyway, it's up to you. …… There are also the Xu family and the Jian family who have already made a marriage. Now that you don't have to worry about the Hou Mansion Jian Gongzi. ”
Hearing Aunt Chen mention Jian Yichen, the previous sour and unwilling in Li Pei's heart came up again. In the end, neither she nor her three sisters married Jian Yichen, and this is to blame for her three sisters who don't forbear it at all. Jian Yichen has outstanding appearance and martial arts, and has a good family background, without him, and then to the penal colony, she doesn't know what kind of family she will marry in the future!
seemed to know her daughter's thoughts, Aunt Chen reminded her daughter: "Now that all families are down, it is not easy for you to marry their son-in-law with your identity, I think if you are close to any of their sons-in-law at this time, you will definitely be able to become a candidate for a son-in-law and wife with your appearance and character." Don't talk about the penal colony. We are down now, but there must be someone in the exile who is even more down than us, and my Li family is here to go, but it doesn't sound like you marrying someone else you don't know. I don't think you can choose among these ones. ”
Li Pei lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "The tallest man among the short people is the tallest of the short, and the status of the little county king is high. If he is not exiled, my daughter, I will not be able to marry him if I want to. Moreover, he is a royal nobleman in the end, and he is more likely to return to Beijing in the future than others. But his unstoppable bad temper, his daughter doesn't like it! ”
Let's not talk about Aunt Chen's mother and daughter picking Ji Moxuan here. only said Ji Moxuan's identity and vision, if Li Pei really picked him, the prospects didn't seem to be optimistic.
Hearing her daughter's words, Aunt Chen didn't take Ji Moxuan's bad temper to heart, and she was also pleased with her daughter's good vision. She smiled slowly and said, "Usually, with your identity as a concubine, the royal family may take a fancy to you?" Even if I like you, it will make you a concubine! As a concubine, your grandfather will definitely not agree. I think you're a good picker. The sister-in-law in the big room of the Fu family was taken away by your cousin, and the sister-in-law in the second room is called Jingrui, right? He's a year younger than you, so he's the right age. However, my mother thinks that the little county king is more suitable! If you have a bad temper, you should straighten your hair. Things don't happen all at once, you should get in touch with the county lord of Jingning, ask what the little county king likes, and just do what he likes. Take your time, you're fourteen this year, and I think your grandmother can keep you until sixteen. There's got to be a time for you to get a dowry, right? ”
At the same time, Wu was also instructing his daughter.
Li Ying lowered his eyes, stared at his delicate green onion white jade fingers, and said reluctantly: "Doing business is a cheap business, and now we need money, but we can't bend our waist to tie up our cousin for five buckets of rice!" ”
In the past, Li Ying was used to being held by the stars, and she thought at this time, why should I learn this dirty craft from my cousin? In the past, Ji Moxuan often circled around her, and these days, not only Fu Jingheng didn't have the heart to take care of her, but even Ji Moxuan seemed to have no her in his eyes!
"Are you a civil official or a powerful minister, do you still need that pedantic literati to be famous? It is not without eunuchs who secretly do business. If not, Ah Yao sold her son for money, and your uncle and grandfather would have stopped her! You kid, are you stupid to read too many books on weekdays? ”
Regarding Wu's words, Li Ying only blindly lowered his head and did not respond. After thinking about it, Wu persuaded his daughter in another way: "You are a family and sisters, and you should help each other and support each other." Aren't you popular, coax your cousin well, learn some tea and rice skills, marry Jing Heng in the future, and be a virtuous helper to Jing Heng. Wouldn't that be nice? ”
Wu's mouth was dry, but Li Ying was a little upset when he heard it. She has been silent, and she pities herself in her heart: "My hard-earned talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is it possible that I can't compare to my cousin's tea and rice skills?" Don't talk about this, I'm better than my cousin in embroidery! Can't embroidery be sold for money? ”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but remind Wu: "Mother, can't you also sell embroidery for money?" ”
"How are you doing your own embroidery, can I be a mother? You've just learned a trick, and it's just useless! “
Wu's unkind words made Li Ying unhappy in the end. She raised her head suddenly, and looked at her mother Wu in a stunned manner with resentful eyes.
Seeing that Li Ying was angry, Wu sighed and had to soften his breath: "Okay, okay, mother, I didn't listen to what I said, it's my fault." But you also have to recognize the reality yourself! After your grandfather left, your grandmother and your father lived in poverty in the early years. That's why your grandmother worked as an embroiderer to support the family, and she almost didn't blind her! Relying on the little accumulation of embroidery, when will you be like your cousin, who can sell a cake recipe for thirty taels of silver with two mouths? ”
"Thirty taels is not much!"
"You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Thirty taels was not much in my house in the past, but can it be compared with the past at this time? ”
