Chapter 3: Grounding

On the west side of the courtyard of the rice family, there is a kitchen filled with the smell of fireworks and a room full of various ingredients. Strings of onions hung from the rafters, potted flowers on the windowsill, porcelain and wax vessels on one wooden table, and bowls and spoons on a long, narrow wooden table. The people take food as the sky, and the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. Mi'er comes back from a long time out, misses a meal, and sneaks into the kitchen in search of food.

"Daddy! Mother! Come on, Mi'er is back in the kitchen to steal food! Mitu shouted loudly, afraid that others would not hear.

When Zhenyu heard the sound, he rushed over, and Mi'er was very angry with Mitu and prepared to run away. But he was told by his mother Zhenyu, "Stop!" Frightened, he turned around, stopped, and sweated profusely, and Mi'er knew that he was going to be cursed again, so he begged his father to come and save him.

"Don't expect your father to come to your rescue, he won't come!" Zhenyu has already understood Mi'er's thoughts.

"Mother, you are a living immortal, I really can't hide it from you."

"Just your little bit of caution, I don't know that I have raised you for so many years for my mother. Say! Where did you fool around, you actually ripped your clothes so torn to such tatters! "Zhenyu is full of voices, and secretly makes up his mind that he has to train Mi'er strictly.

So he went to the mountains and picked wild fruits, but when he was climbing the trees, he accidentally scratched them. I said mother, my brother's clothes are simply too unbearable, and every time I am asked to wear the clothes that my brother used to wear, it's too unfair! ”

Mitu, who was on the side, heard this, and said with a anxious face: "I said Mi'er, why is it that the family is not a rich and noble family, just wear it, you have to know how to save, you see how difficult it is for my father and mother to raise us, why are you not sensible at all!" This is in line with the true rain, in the past ten years, the real rain has always been partial to Mitu, not obviously patriarchal, the reason for the life experience involved, I am afraid that only the real rain is the clearest, Mitu knows the most clever words to please the real rain, in the Mi family, where there are important decisions have a place.

"Then why do you always dress gracefully, why don't you dress frugally?" Mi'er was dissatisfied with Mitu's words, and looked out the window disdainfully after speaking.

"I didn't go to climb trees and run around all day like you, otherwise those gorgeous clothes wouldn't last long, besides, who told me to be older than you, your clothes are so small, I can't wear them if you give them to me." Mitu is dressed gracefully, with a slightly bloated figure, exuding an air of wealth.

Zhenyu watched the two children quarrel, so he interjected: "Mi'er, your brother is right, you see how sensible your brother is, why don't you learn more from him." Mitu triumphed.

"Mother! Since you were a child, you know that you are eccentric, you give him whatever he wants, you satisfy him with everything, of course he is sensible, brother he is very hypocritical, he loves to pick bones in eggs, foxes and fake tigers. ”

Mitu was not happy when he heard this, and his face immediately fell, and he shook out all the bad things that Mi'er had been doing recently. It's not a big deal, it's nothing more than leading the third aunt of the family to cut down trees in the mountains, and Mi'er secretly hid other people's axes when she saw others cutting trees. Or Uncle Li went hunting, Mi'er saw that the rabbit that was caught was very cute, and changed his tricks to fool Uncle Li and secretly let the rabbit go. The guide zhì neighborhood leader saw Mi'er and hated to dodge, but secretly talked about this girl behind his back.

When Zhenyu heard this, he was angry from his heart, approached Mi'er and began to scold. "You kid, if you say a few words, you will keep your mouth up, and if you don't give you some color, you are about to go to heaven!"

"I didn't say anything wrong, I did anything wrong!" Mi'er still mouthed.

Zhenyu immediately took Mi'er's hand and rushed straight out of the kitchen, bypassing the wine cellar, passing through the courtyard, and pulling Mi'er's boudoir. Pushed Mi'er into the room, then closed the door and sealed it. Mi'er knew that her mother was really angry this time, but she was full of resentment and screamed in the room. "Mother! Let me out, I don't want to be locked up in the room, I was wrong, I won't contradict you again, okay? Let me out, I'll suffocate if I stay in the room!" ”

"If you know it's wrong, reflect on it inside, don't send her food today, just let her starve inside for a day!" The real rain moved the real style, and I am afraid that the nine cows will not be able to pull it back.

At this time, Mi Zheng had already arrived at Zhenyu's side, and just wanted to speak, but was robbed by Xiaochan who rushed over. "Madam, my young lady is still young after all, it's not good to starve the young lady for a day, next time the young lady will be obedient. Madam, don't be angry, why don't you go to the neighborhood to see the flower drum show, it's exciting. ”

Xiaochan is the only female employee in the Mi family, three years older than Mi'er, and is responsible for taking care of Zhenyu and doing chores. There are also three strong men in the Mi family, and the Mi family treats them very well, everyone works diligently for the Mi family, and treats the Mi family very loyally. The family also pleaded for Mi'er, but only Mitu was very proud and left slowly.

"Just you girl can speak, but I have made up my mind, none of you can shake me today, no one should bring food to Mi'er, and don't give her a glass of water, see if she has a long memory."

Mi Zheng saw that Zhenyu had made up his mind, and thought that Mi'er should also reflect and reflect, so he beckoned everyone to do whatever they wanted, stop worrying about Mi'er's affairs, and then leave.

Mi'er was locked in her room and fasted for a day, but she didn't go hungry much, and Mi'er's room was hiding wild fruits from the mountains. The next day, Xiaochan brought food, and Mi'er ate it in a big gulp.

"Mi'er, eat slowly, don't choke, drink some water, come!" Xiaochan handed over the water cup and Mi'er.

"Sister Chan, is my mother at home today? Have you ever gone to see a flower drum show? ”

"No, what's wrong? You don't want to escape, but Madame has told me to guard you, saying that from now on, you can't run around, so you have to learn embroidery with me at home. Xiaochan looked serious.

"Oh my God, it seems that my mother is really cruel to me!" Just as Mi'er was saying this, the sound of real rain came from outside the door.

"Who was cruel to you? I can hear the voices of complaining in the house from afar. When Mi'er saw that Zhenyu had entered the house, she greeted her with a smile and pretended to beg for mercy.

"Mother, tell me what embroidery to learn, I don't want to learn, embroidery is too difficult!"

"If you don't learn, you have to learn, girls don't know how to embroider, you are used to it, from now on, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard half a step, stay in the house and learn embroidery before you can enter and exit the door freely!"

"Mother, why do you bother your daughter, I am so miserable in my heart, can my mother know?"

"I'm doing it for your own good, too. If you honor the elderly, you must fulfill it. Also, since you don't like to wear your brother's old clothes, I also think it makes sense. ”

When Mi'er heard this, she was a little relieved, and she stopped talking. Zhenyu then spoke bitterly, and asked Xiaochan to change all the clothes in Mi'er's house as she spoke, and put a new one wearing similar clothes to Xiaochan.

"Mi'er, from now on, you have to be a good woman. You must wear those women's clothes now, you must not walk with a swagger, and you must speak softly. How to do it, Xiaochan will teach you! ”

Hearing this, Mi'er instantly felt that it was dark in front of her, her whole body was weak, and she didn't say much, turned around and walked to the bed and fell down.

Since then, Xiaochan has been teaching Mi'er every day, and Mi'er is learning absentmindedly, but she is thinking about how to go to Lin Xi's academy to see. Mi'er is also smart, learning things especially quickly and smoothly, you can remember it once you say it, and imitate it vividly, she pretends to be good when she walks and talks, and her embroidery skills are also praised by Xiaochan.

In Mi'er's room, the green curtain hangs low, and Mi'er is wearing a blue silk gauze skirt, which is as elegant as an orchid. She was wandering around the house, thoughtful, but Mi'er thought about it again, and immediately embroidered the handkerchief that would take a few days to embroider in one day, and made an excuse that she wanted to embroider behind closed doors and not let Xiaochan enter the door. Behind the screen, he made a fake puppet back that resembled a human body sitting cross-legged and embroidered seriously, but he secretly opened the solid back window, climbed out of the window, and then rolled and climbed over the wall from the backyard, and ran outside to breathe fresh air.
