Chapter 129: Man Niang
Several people stopped and walked until noon, Zhang Manniang picked five or six pots of orchids, while Ding Weiniang did not let go of chrysanthemums, orchids, camellias, jasmine peonies, looking at the full carriage, Ding Hui was dumbfounded, she didn't feel sorry for the silver, "Wei Niang, did you raise so much?" You also said that the grass and trees have spirits, and it would be a pity if you died because you couldn't take care of them. ”
"Sister, don't worry," Ding Weiniang pointed to a little girl beside her, "This Ling'er is the daughter of the old Zhu family's old store, and she has been following her family since she was a child. ”
You not only buy flowers, but also people? Ding Hui can't be the master now, and looked up at Jiang Songzheng on the side, "Cousin,"
Jiang Songzheng's long-term entourage was accustomed to seeing the scene with him, and he was busy bowing down and saying, "The little one has already told the old store of the Zhu family, and their little girl will not do anything else when she arrives at our house, but only follow the third lady to cook flowers, one and a half taels of silver, plus four clothes, as long as the eldest lady nods, the little one immediately finds the Chinese and Ling'er's father to sign a deed, and first gives them half a year's silver." ”
Ding Weiniang nodded again and again, "I have done this kind of thing with my third uncle in Luoyang, they are all good people, it is against the law to be good and cheap, but you can hire them, sister, the Huang Li and the parrot brother around me don't know this, just ask me to bring Ling'er back!" ”
Ding Weiniang's fancy little girl is only about ten years old, she is thin and small, and there are patches on her coarse cloth clothes, Ding Hui was stunned and said to Ding Weiniang the old Zhu family's store, "This,"
Ding Huiniang, a pampered young lady of the Hou Mansion, how could she know about the hunger outside, Jiang Songzheng saw that although this Ling'er was thin, her eyes were upright, and her expression was peaceful, "Cousin is just Wei Niang, this Zhu family has also been a craft for several lifetimes, but a little girl like this has limited help at home, and she has to take in a person's meal, and it is a good thing for her and her father to be able to go into the house to help." ”
"Uh, okay then," Ding Weiniang looked at pitifully, and then looked at Ling'er who hung her head and didn't say a word, Ding Hui had to admit that this was also a good way to get the best of both worlds, "Go and sign the deed, but go back and ask her to learn some rules from the grandmother in the house, "Eat some good ones and raise them, otherwise this little body can't do any work," Since Ling'er has been planting flowers with her father and mother since she was a child, she must know more than you, you have to give me a little humility and learn from Ling'er. ”
My sister agreed, and Ding Weiniang nodded happily, "Don't worry, I will definitely learn from Ling'er!" ”
The flowers were also bought, and the people were hired, Ding Hui looked at the sky, "Are you hungry, my cousin will take us to eat delicious food?" ”
Jiang Songzheng looked at Ding Hui's smile, a little shaken, and forced a smile, "This is natural, I have already set up a private room in front of Baiwei Xuan, there is an authentic Lu flavor, take you to taste it." ”
Ding Hui looked at Zhang Manniang, who was standing next to Ding Weiniang, "Manniang came by herself today?" Would you like to come with us? ”
"Manniang, we haven't talked properly yet," Ding Weiniang rarely had such a like-minded friend in the capital, now that she thinks about it, she just chatted along the way, and she didn't even bother to say something considerate, "My sister just said thank you, I forgot to ask what happened, you are not allowed to lie to me." ”
Zhang Manniang looked at Ding Hui with some curiosity, "Okay, I heard that many people invite the master of Baiweixuan to come over when they feast at the mansion, let's try it together?" ”
She turned around and ordered a few words from a mother-in-law beside her, and then followed Ding Weiniang into the carriage, "Let's sit together to talk." ”
In this way, Ding Jiazhi couldn't squeeze in, Jiang Songzheng directly hugged Ding Jiazhi to the horse, "I'll take Brother Zhi to ride over." ”
Ding Hui looked up at Jiang Songzheng and Ding Jiazhi on the horse, her eyes couldn't help but envy, she also wanted to give it a try, "Wei Niang, Man Niang, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
"Yes,"
Ding Hui looked at the two of them who spoke in unison, and couldn't believe her ears, "Will it?" Will you all be? ”
"No, I learned from Nansheng's cousin when I was in Luoyang," Ding Weiniang shook her little face proudly, "But my aunt only allowed me to run around in the third uncle's garden, and I was not allowed to go out." ”
Zhang Manniang was more attentive than Ding Weiniang, and had already noticed the envy in Ding Hui's eyes, "Sister Huiniang misunderstood, there are not many people like us who can ride horses, they, uh, prefer piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs,"
Zhang Manniang covered her mouth and smiled crookedly, "That's why I and Wei Niang are so compatible,"
"Yes," Ding Hui was amused by Zhang Manniang's cute appearance, "You two are more like sisters!" ”
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, I am closest to you, we are sisters," uh, my sister was jealous, Ding Weiniang quickly turned back, rushed over and hugged Ding Hui's arm, "We are sisters!" ”
"Hey," Zhang Manniang glanced at Ding Weiniang with disdain, and said with a proud face, "We have eight daughters in Chengenbo Mansion alone!" "Who cares about your sister?
Cheng Enbo's Zhang family soared from the small people in the market in an instant, all because the family had a daughter who entered the palace, and because of this, the first thing Cheng Enbo Zhang Changbin did after he became an uncle was to get himself a concubine in the mansion, which could not only satisfy his selfish desires, but also marry after giving birth to a daughter, why not?
Zhang Manniang, as a concubine, mentioned her sister-in-law, but she didn't have a good impression at all.
Ding Weiniang knew the situation in Zhang Manniang's family, and she also knew that she was joking with herself, so she bared her teeth and said, "How can those sisters of yours compare with my sisters?" ”
"Okay, your sister is not much better than others, yesterday thanks to Manniang for relieving my embarrassment, my sister will toast you for a while," Ding Huiting likes Zhang Manniang's straightforward but not reckless temperament, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face with baby fat, "Cute to death," the little adult is the most cute.
"Sister Hui Niang," Zhang Manniang was pinched for the first time, a little embarrassed and a little happy, but she didn't know how to express her feelings, so she had to put her head behind Ding Weiniang's back and shouldn't come out.
Ding Weiniang would not be so polite, she fell back directly, and used Zhang Manniang as a human cushion, "Oh, it's so good to have you, my sister, I love to pinch people's faces, you have more meat on your face than me, she won't pinch me again in the future!" ”
"Who said I had a lot of flesh on my face?" Zhang Manniang was not happy now, and turned around directly and pounced on Ding Weiniang...... (To be continued.) )
