Chapter 0220: Bold Words
"Seventh Young Master, the needle box is gone!"
"It's not that it's gone, it's that I sent someone."
"Seeing a needle is like seeing the Seventh Young Master, how can this needle box be given away."
"Don't mention this matter again, Steward Lin, go down."
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Xu Xiang's black hair was draped over his shoulders, and the tips of his hair were still dripping, he didn't care, he dried his hair naturally.
At this time, he is not like in front of people, with a cold face that has not changed for thousands of years, but his face is calm, and it seems that he is occasionally gentle.
Coming to the desk, Xu Xiang opened the stacked letters, unfolded them one by one, some set them aside, some circled them a few times or even wrote a few lines on them, and then put them in a small box on the bookcase.
After the letter was processed, Xu Xiang asked, "Nurse, is there any licking soup?" ”
Someone outside the door answered: "Yes, the old slave will bring it here." ”
After a while, the nurse knocked on the door and entered, put a bowl of sweet soup on the table, and instructed: "Seventh Young Master drink less first, otherwise you won't be able to eat, if you really want to drink, drink it after the meal." ”
"It's okay," Xu Xiang picked up the bowl, stirred the spoon with a spoon, and said to the nurse: "I have already eaten at Ge's house." ”
"Seventh Young Master, forgive the old slave for talking too much," the nurse pondered: "Did the Seventh Young Master give the needle box to the sixth miss of the Ge family." ”
Xu Xiang sighed: "Nurse, this is already like this, it is useless to say more." ”
"The old slave doesn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the old slave remembers that when the princess handed over the needle box to the seventh young master, she instructed this needle to be passed on to men and not to women."
"Nurse, if this needle was passed on to the eighth sister back then, even if her legs were disabled, she could be dragged until my eldest brother and I arrived, so that she would not die so miserably."
"The seventh young master gave the needle box to the sixth miss of the Ge family, did he regard her as the county lord?"
"I can't tell."
At this time, Ge Kailin was looking at the small needle box in her hand over and over again.
Wow, this is the legendary flying needle, the Jianghu artifact turned out to be like this, isn't it just a square iron box. There is nothing mysterious about the monster carved around the body that the dragon is not like a dragon, the snake is not like a snake, and there seems to be a bit of a gecko shadow.
Press the trap. The lid popped open silently, and there were hundreds of fine needles neatly stacked inside, which looked no different from embroidery needles.
Ge Kailin picked up one and looked at the light carefully, only to find that this needle was really different from the embroidery needle.
There are barbs at the tip of the needle. Just like the expansion nail she had seen in her previous life, it was easy to nail in, but it took a lot of effort to pull it out, and this needle pierced into the human body, and if it was pulled out like a normal needle, it would have to tear off a piece of flesh and skin.
Looking at the four walls of the box, there seems to be a protrusion on the inner side of the lid, and if you don't look carefully, you think it is a parallel stripe drawn on it, and you touch it with your hand. It is a row of fine grooves, and the width of the grooves is just enough for a needle to accommodate the light.
Turn the box upside down, and the bottom of the box looks similar to the inside of the lid, but the stripes are slightly denser.
After covering the box, Ge Kailin saw a small groove on the iron box, Xu Xiang said, if it is not a moment, do not touch this groove, otherwise it is easy to be injured by mistake.
Shui Jue breathed a sigh of relief: "Ouch." Miss Six, you have finally covered it, can you put it away for you? ”
Ge Kailin nodded: "Well, bring me those throwing needles." ”
Shui Jue carefully put the needle box into the dark drawer of the dresser. He brought a few iron needles that looked like knitting sweaters, only twice as long as the palm of Ge Kailin's hand.
This is not the dart played by the former nephew, but it is thinner and the tip is blunt, probably because the beginner is afraid of accidentally injuring himself or others.
"Haha," said Ge Kailin with a smile, "you should stay away from me in the future." With your sixth lady, I have a sense of direction to fight east and west, and I really don't know where this needle will go. ”
Shui Yue, who was clumsily learning to weave clothes, put down a piece of knitted sample in his hand that had been ravaged and changed color, shook his sour wrist, and said: "Miss Six, don't worry, the slaves and maids will always guard Miss Six, it's okay to hurt the slaves and maids, but you must not hurt Miss Six." ”
Uh, that's very likely, Gordale was speechless.
Why didn't my mother let me learn embroidery, it was because my hands and eyes were not coordinated, and embroidery was tantamount to self-abuse and abuse by the way.
It seems that the road to practicing needle throwing is a long and long way to go, well, persevere.
"Sixth Miss, look at how the word slave is written." Shui Jue has a lively temperament, and he jumped up and down with a piece of paper and asked.
This is the handwriting she wrote during the day, and she has not yet checked it for Gerkelyn.
"Poof, hahaha." Before Ge Kailin could speak, Liu Gengjia happened to come in and laughed with Shui Yue.
Ge Kailin also smiled: "There is progress compared to the previous few days, at least, I can see that it is written today." ”
Shui Jue was not convinced: "Miss Six can insist on practicing five poultry operas every day, and the slave and maid can also insist on writing every day, and wait for the slave and maid to write good-looking words, and see who will laugh at the slave and maid." ”
Ge Kailin teased Shui Jue: "My Shui Jue is ambitious, and she will definitely be a talented woman in the future." ”
According to their own characteristics, Ge Kailin divided the work among the people around her, and those who were not good at it had to practice more.
Shuiyue doesn't like needlework, so she wants Shuiyue to be in charge of sewing and sewing.
Shui Jue is active, she let the line be responsible for the pen and ink, hone Shui Jue's patience, and at the same time follow her nature and play with herself.
Since Shui Yue and Shui Jue never left Ge Kailin, Wu Limei allocated Liu Qin's family to Ge Kailin for special use, responsible for Ge Kailin's meals and daily sundries.
The next day, after practicing the five poultry plays, flying over the needle, when the yard was full of yards looking for the needle that didn't know where to fly, Ge Kailin grabbed Ge Kaiwen, who was too happy to watch the excitement, and stretched out her hand: "Second brother, where is my book, did the second brother forget to buy it." ”
Although my sister has a good temper, she is sometimes annoyed and angry, and the smile on her face has no time to restrain herself, Ge Kaiwen hurried back to her room, and said as she walked: "How could the second brother forget his sister's big event, I didn't give the book to my sister yesterday, because I was afraid that my sister would stay up late and hurt her eyes, sister, you go back to the house to rest first, and the second brother will give it to his sister." ”
Ge Kailin reads a lot of books, and likes to read books such as legendary travelogues and biographies, and of course, as a foodie, food books are also her favorite.
Every time she gets a book, Ge Kailin will first ask Ge Kaiwen what is the origin of this book, what allusions it has, and what classification it belongs to.
For his own smart sister, Ge Kaiwen has all the questions, and he will also touch on the bypass and quote the classics, which he himself does not know. Just go and ask someone for advice.
As a science student, why Ge Kailin likes to worry about these things also stems from her husband's grandfather in her previous life, and the old man is already knowledgeable. The collection of books at home is no less than that of a small library.
Ge Kailin is not in good health, but her memory is outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as unforgettable.
The old man likes Ge Kailin very much. The collection of books at home, even his own children and grandchildren are not allowed to move, but he is very generous to Ge Kailin, let her enjoy it, solve her doubts at any time, and even take the initiative to tell her some allusions and related knowledge, Ge Kailin has benefited a lot.
She had a few ancient books that she particularly liked, and the old man did not hesitate to give them to her, for which her husband's uncles and siblings were. Including her husband, he was very jealous of her, and mocked her openly and satirously.
"Sister, sister."
"Huh? Second brother, what's the matter? ”
She couldn't remember when she had returned to the room, and she was sitting at her desk when Kevin shook her arm gently.
"It's the second brother who wants to ask you, what do you think so distractedly, the second brother calls you a few times and you don't respond."
"Oh, second brother. I was wondering if there was a girls' school in Shengcheng. ”
"Why does my sister have to go to school, my mother's knowledge is no worse than that of my master."
"No matter how highly educated my mother is, she is only confined to a garden. I want to be like my second brother. ”
"Alas, my sister is so studious and smarter than ordinary women, it's a pity that she didn't go to school."
"Second brother, Shengcheng is a provincial-level city, and the second brother hasn't answered me yet. There is no girls' school. ”
Ge Kaiwen shook his head: "No." ”
Ge Kailin threw herself on the table and lamented, "Why is it so unfair to women?" ”
Suddenly, he sat up straight again, arrogant: "Second brother, in the future, I will learn the skills, and I must set up a women's school." ”
If these words are heard by outsiders, they will definitely say that Gan Lin is not etiquette, immoral and intolerant, Ge Kaiwen has been influenced by his father and second grandmother since he was a child, so he naturally will not think so, but he feels the same way as his sister, and he also sighs.
"Okay, my sister is ambitious, I will definitely support the second brother, but I don't know, if my sister's school wants a male master, if the second brother is downcast in the future, there will be a place to stay."
"Oh, what I said is serious, not a joke, second brother, don't coax me to be a child."
"Okay, hehe, the second brother's words are also true, and he didn't treat his sister as a child."
This sounded perfunctory, and Ge Kailin stood up and angrily pulled Ge Kaiwen and pushed him out of the house from behind.
Ge Kaiwen took Ge Kailin's hand strength, and automatically walked out, and said vigorously: "Sister, the second brother is wrong, don't be angry, the second brother is here to deliver books to my sister, doesn't my sister want it?" ”
"Hmph, who said no, the book stays, and the second brother goes out." snatched the book that was still dangling in Ge Kevin's hand, it was a travelogue.
Ge Kailin put the book on the table casually, and refused to give up on Ge Kaiwen: "Hmph, it will coax people, so I will ignore the second brother." ”
Pushed Ge Kaiwen in the direction of his father's house.
Ge Kaiwu was just in time for his rest day today, and he was endorsing in front of Wu Limei at this time, and then the family was going to go to the small theater to listen to Guo Huiting and his mother's jokes.
"Young Master Xu?"
Facial paralysis face?
Listening to Kevin Ge's call, Kelin looked behind Kevin Ge.
Xu Xiang changed into a moon-white dress today, a little less angry than when he usually wore black, followed by the little guy who seemed to never grow up, and still had a childish face.
Ge Kailin came out from behind Ge Kaiwen and saluted Xu Xiang: "Xie Xu Gongzi gave a flying needle, Kai Lin will definitely love it." ”
Xu Xiang didn't answer immediately, and looked at Ge Kailin thoughtfully.
Just when Ge Kailin thought that this guy was going to play deep again, Xu Xiang spoke: "Does Miss Sixth want to study in the Women's Academy?" ”
Well? Gordon was surprised.
How could this guy know, did he hear what he and his second brother said just now, are you a thief, eavesdropping on others.
The little girl's thoughts were written on her face, and Xu Xiang explained: "Miss Six, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just heard the conversation between the second young master and Miss Six when I came in." ”
Ge Kaiwen played a round game: "Young Master Xu, my little sister just said casually, she is still young, so she can't take it seriously." ”
Xu Xiang withdrew his gaze from Ge Kailin, and regained his old face: "There is no women's school in Shengcheng, but there is one in the capital." ”
Ge Kaiwen said with a smile: "The women's school in the capital is only qualified to study by the daughters of official families, although my father is famous, but now he is a businessman, whether my sister can enter the women's school is debatable, my sister is still young, this matter is not in a hurry." ”
"This is not necessarily the case," Xu Xiang said a lot today: "Although Master Ge is a businessman, General Wu is an official in the court, and it is not impossible for his niece to enter the women's academy as long as he has good qualifications." ”
Qualified?
Ge Kaiwen is excited, his sister is not only highly qualified, but only because of his sister's excellent memory, no one can compare.
Isn't the school that only the daughters of official families can enter a noble school, Ge Kailin is not interested.
People have some kindness, Ge Kailin is not easy to refute, and wrinkles her little face: "I want to go to the school, but I don't want to leave my parents, let's talk about it when I grow up." ”
Xu Xiang was gloomy, the child was clingy, this scene was too far away for him, and he could hardly remember what it was like.
"Sister, sister, I have a good book back today, my father rewarded me for eating more sweets today, what my sister wants to eat, the fifth brother will buy it for you." Ge Kaiwu raised the money bag in his hand and swayed it, this was the pocket money that Ge Tianyu gave him.
Ge Kaiwu is not like Ge Kaiwen, Ge Kaiwen's pocket money is saved, as long as Ge Kaiwu has money, he will use it to buy sweets.
Don't look at the current Ge Kaiwu is strong, he can be called a little beautiful man, there was a time, he was as fat as a ball, even if he practiced martial arts every day, it was difficult to lose weight, not to mention that eating too many sweets was not good for his teeth, Ge Tianyu had no choice but to decide, Ge Kaiwu's pocket money was kept by himself, and every time Ge Kaiwu wanted to use money, he had to explain the purpose and amount first, and Ge Tianyu would never give more.
Ge Kailin shook her head: "Fifth brother, spend it yourself, what I want to eat, my father and mother will buy it for me." ”
"That's good, the charcoal that my sister wanted, I have already figured out a way, fifth brother, and I'll give it to my sister when it's ready."
The so-called charcoal is the pencil of Ge Kailin's previous life, Ge Kailin thinks that the brush must be polished before every use, and it must be cleaned after use, which is too troublesome, if only there could be a pencil pen and the like, it can be used at any time.
Such a difficult task was handed over to the skillful Ge Kaiwu.
Not to mention, this fifth brother really lived up to expectations, and he had eyebrows so quickly.
A family, with a Xuxiang, came to the small theater in the rental area in the south of the town.
Ge Kaiwu went to the side stall to buy sweets with great interest, and the others went to the location they had set yesterday.
It is said that there are jokes every night, and only during the day when the school is off.
Three years ago, Guo Huiting wanted to sell herself to learn embroidery, Wu Limei didn't agree, and came up with an idea, Guo said a good joke, there will be no fewer people who listen to jokes in winter, why don't you invite Guo to tell jokes, Guo has to be rewarded, and his own business is convenient.
went to discuss with Guo's, Guo's was a little hesitant, afraid that it would be inconvenient to be blind, so Wu Limei persuaded Guo's to just say that the Ge family would arrange full-time servants, and the Ge family would not want her a penny of reward money, and would make up for her guaranteed income.
Guo agreed. (To be continued.) )
