Chapter Eighty-Three: Aunt Zhao by Mother's Side
Coming to the shore, Wan Niang asked Aunt Wang to lead Wang Qiaoyun back first, Wang Duofu went to the cattle cart to come over, when Youwei got off the boat, she felt that things happened so quickly, and everyone was still talking and laughing when she got on the boat, and now she was so depressed and gray, she didn't feel very cruel, otherwise in the end she would be committed to Wang Duofu.
Yiyue went through these things, those high-spirited are gone, instead of the heart is like ashes, Huyue still doesn't know what happened, she was also woken up by Wanniang, and saw Yiyue sitting there covering her face and crying, Wang Duofu was scolded by Aunt Wang in the village dialect with a red face, she didn't understand, she was confused, and she didn't dare to ask, so she had to step forward to help Yiyue, after all, a sister.
Now there are three people on the shore, Youwei walked up to Yi Yue, and took out a small piece of round jade engraved with mandarin ducks, although the jade color is not very good, but for Wang Duofu, it is already the best gift, she handed it to Yi Yue: "I won yesterday's boat race, you are my maid, Wang Duofu's piece of jade is for you." ”
Yi Yue is a smart person, and he has already thought it through on the boat, but he can't turn it around for a while: "The stones thrown in the house are better than this jade!" ”
Youwei smiled and put the jade in her hand: "Don't make trouble, go back to the yard and clean up quickly, in a few days, the family will send someone to send something over, and I will tell them to bring back your deed of sale." ”
Yi Yue sighed and said to Youwei Fu: "It's all up to the little lady." ”
Still sitting in the ox cart as before, Youwei's mood is still the same as before, but after seeing Ye Zhen, it has obviously become very good, but seeing Yiyue sitting on the side just silently weeping, Wanniang and Wang Duofu are sitting outside the car to drive cattle, Huyue just lowered her head and closed her eyes, and I don't know if she is really asleep, this kind of scene Youwei doesn't know how to ease, she can only sit there without sadness and joy and think about every detail of getting along with Ye Zhen.
After returning to the courtyard, Yiyue locked herself in the house where she and hugged the moon all day long, Wanniang originally wanted to say two words to her, don't forget your duty, was stopped by Youwei, anyway, they are all people who want to get married, wait for someone to come to the house to spread a word, send someone to send a deed of sale and twelve taels of silver, converted into RMB has been 3,600 yuan, asked Wanniang, Wanniang said that it is already interesting enough to give so much money, Youwei will no longer add extra money, she didn't take Yiyue as a confidant, if you rashly add money, it will make Yiyue suspicious, and it will not be good in the end.
The maid redeemed her deed of sale for thirty taels, and after Youwei waived the money, she also posted twelve taels upside down, saying that others only have envy, but it is not a special honor, for the sake of many years of master and servant, it is really appropriate to do this.
Mu Wangfu came to a mother-in-law who had never seen her, she looked older than Wan Niang, Wan Niang greeted her with a few kind words such as hard work, let Bao Yue watch Xiao Wei move the food into the small warehouse next to the kitchen, and went in to inform Youwei, by the way, he and Youwei probably told the origin of this mother-in-law, and finally comforted Youwei: "You are gentle and generous and know that you can't go wrong, but you should still hold the shelf, this Aunt Zhao is your mother's nurse, and the relationship with your mother is equivalent to the relationship between the little lady and the slave family, You can be closer to Aunt Zhao in private, but you still have to divide the master-servant relationship on the surface. ”
Youwei nodded, and Wanniang immediately went out and said to Aunt Zhao: "The little lady knows that Sister Zhao is coming, and she is very happy, and she has already asked Baoyue to prepare tea in the house and wait for you to enter the house." “
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was very happy: "Little lady, I also grew up watching it, and I am smarter and more beautiful than our wife!" ”
Wan Niang smiled and led her in, Youwei sat upright in the main seat, although her face was childish, but her expression was very peaceful and gentle, like a girl in the boudoir, wearing a very simple long gown, her hands were naturally folded on her legs, sitting straight and waiting for Aunt Zhao to come in, Aunt Zhao saw it, and couldn't help but praise: "The little lady's bearing, finally has the appearance of the eldest daughter of Mu Wangfu!" After speaking, you should bow to the little lady.
Wan Niang thought that she was a lady, that is, the old grandmother beside Youwei's mother before, her identity was naturally respectful, and her brothers and sisters had to respect a little, and she would never make a mistake if she was polite, so she hurriedly glanced at Baoyue, and Baoyue immediately helped Aunt Zhao to prevent her from kneeling, Youwei didn't dare to get up, for fear that her sudden height would make Aunt Zhao suspicious, so she could only sit and say to Baoyue: "You go to the bench and let Aunt Zhao sit, it's tiring all the way, Aunt Zhao must be tired!" “
Aunt Zhao couldn't kneel down, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes gathered, and she smiled very happily: "The little lady feels sorry for the slave, and the slave doesn't dare to make a mistake, and a good body can't be avoided." ”
Youwei looked at Aunt Zhao with a smile, her face was slightly square, her face was a little wrinkled, she looked fifty years old, she used a black wooden hairpin to hold her black hair and silver hair all over her head, with two small gold earrings, wearing a long crimson skirt, with straight sleeves and a brown cloth belt tied around her waist, and she was dressed very steadily. After Aunt Zhao gave a squat, Baoyue hurriedly helped her to sit on the stool, and brought tea to Aunt Zhao.
After Aunt Zhao took a sip, she handed the teacup to Baoyuehou, smiled at Youwei and asked, "Is it okay for the little lady to live here?" ”
Youwei also smiled and nodded: "It's all good, it's very quiet here, the environment is beautiful and peaceful, every day the evening drum and morning bell, the mood is very calm." ”
Aunt Zhao said: "After Mrs. is pregnant with your younger brother, it is always not easy to be peaceful, the little lady is the sister of Brother Jing, and the eldest daughter of our house, come out to pray for blessings, not only Mrs. and brother mother and son are safe, the little lady has also grown up a lot, looking at the temperament is very stable and peaceful, it can be seen that the White Crane Nunnery is really a blessed land!" ”
Youwei made a guilty expression: "I was ignorant before, so I let my father and mother worry about my daughter." Now that my father and mother are in good health? Will Brother Jing call her mother? ”
Aunt Zhao replied happily: "Last time, Steward Zhao replied to the little lady's words, the old man was still surprised, and felt that the little lady had grown up sensible, and the fortune teller said that the little lady was going to be cultivated here in the White Crane Nunnery for three years, and the master reduced it to one year for you, it can be seen that the old man likes the little lady very much in his heart, and the little lady was very discouraged before, how can there be a reason for parents not to like their children?" The slave said to his wife before, girls, they say that they will grow up when they grow up, and they really don't know how to hurt when they are sensible! Mrs. was very relieved when she found out, and taught Brother Jing not to call his father and mother first, but to learn to teach him to call his eldest sister first! “
Saying that, Wanniang and Baoyue both laughed, and Youwei was embarrassed: "Things used to pass, how embarrassing it is!" Baoyue, the goat milk tea boiled in the small kitchen, you do as I say, filter the tea leaves, put some sugar in it, add a little salt to force out the aroma, bring it out and we drink it together, by the way, the kitchen also has the horseshoe crisp brought last time, and take it out together. ”
Aunt Zhao was a little surprised: "Goat milk tea? The slave had never heard it called. ”
Wan Niang smiled and said: "The little lady likes to make some food when she is fine, some are delicious and some are average, this goat milk tea is really sweet and delicious, it is difficult for her to come up with, it is really simple and delicious!" ”
As if she had thought of something, Aunt Zhao said, "Oh, it's easy to forget things when you're older!" Mrs. said, last time I asked Wan Niang and Yi Yue to teach the little lady to learn embroidery, I don't know how the little lady learned? ”
Youwei smiled and said, "Mother's instructions, how dare my daughter forget it, Wanniang, go and bring it to Aunt Zhao for evaluation!" ”
