After Wang Yuanshan and his son entered the mountain, Jinwen took care of housework during the day, and had spring leaves to accompany him at night, and the days passed quickly, three days passed, but by the evening of the third day, they had not returned.
In the evening, Chunye saw that Wang Rui had not come back yet, so she still came to find Jinwen, she combed two braids, she was sixteen years old this year, her skin was a little dark, she had helped the family work in the field since she was a child, her hands were thick and strong, and the embroidery needle twist was invisible, she was the eldest sister in the family, if it weren't for her in-laws who wanted to marry early, it was estimated that the big strong mother would like to keep her until she was eighteen years old and then marry.
Now the date is selected to be the end of the year, the dowry is not much, her prospective mother-in-law has told people several times that the handkerchief in the dowry is good-looking, the hijab embroidered well, the implication is naturally that she does not have a dowry and is stupid, the big strong mother listened to a few times and held her breath, the dowry did not have that family background, the original embroidery work did not have confidence, now there is Jinwen to help, and when she plans to get married, she will make a good face for her daughter in the mother-in-law's house, but after the long face, the daughter's embroidery work is still not good, what should I do if it is exposed in the future? Her mother hadn't thought about it.
Chunye thinks about doing embroidery work for a long time in the future, and now her mother doesn't let her work in the field all day long, and she has time every day, so she only asks Jinwen to teach her, and she still plans to do it herself, Jinwen sees that she is really not good at embroidering and too complicated, so she simply chose an orchid with a simple color, so that Chunye can practice this, she thinks about how to practice it in a year.
On the second day, Chunye went home early in the morning, Jinwen looked at home and hadn't come back yet, so he was anxious to wait at home, so he simply went to Chunye's house to sit down. When I arrived at her house, I just saw my grandmother weaving, she had never learned to spin and weave since she was a child, and she didn't need to learn to spin and weave like her family, but now in the Wang family, she thought of the fabric she bought last year, if she could weave, she would not be able to save this money.
"Auntie, is it difficult to weave? Can you teach me? She asked Grandma Haruba.
"What's so difficult, someone as clever as you is, you can do it in one fell swoop. You see, first put the thread here to fix, to weave what color depends on the machine, the cloth wants to be tightly pierced to wear the dot, if you want to dredge the dot to send a point, the shuttle strength to be even...... "Jinwen listened while remembering carefully, see how the aunt did it, Chunye saw that she looked so focused, simply took out the spinning wheel, sat on the side of the spinning, her hands were thick, the twist was unstable, so when spinning, the thread was spun unevenly, and her grandmother said again.
Jinwen only knew after reading that the original thread could also be spun at home, hemp and cotton can be spun, but there are few people in the village who grow cotton, so they all make hemp to weave cloth. Jinwen watched for more than an hour, and learned how to spin the thread, she picked it up and spun it, and the thread was much more symmetrical than the spring leaves.
"Sister Arwen, you are so smart, you learn so fast."
"That's what my sister taught well." Jin Wen will spin the thread can be happy, weaving she looked at the long time, in the end did not dare to try, in case the thread is broken, how good, there seems to be a spinning wheel and loom at home, wait for home to spin the thread first, put it on the loom to try.
Just thinking about Da Zhuang ran in, "Awen, Huzi, they're back, by the way, someone at the entrance of the village just now asked me who had been to Yunyang County, and Uncle Shushan went out a lot in our village, I asked my brother to take you to your house, that person is so angry, I feel like I look at people with my nose, and my nose is about to rise to the sky." ”
When Jin Wen heard that Wang Yuanshan and they had returned home, he stood up happily and walked to the door, and stopped when he heard the words behind him.
"Did that man say anything?"
"Said that I wanted to ask Uncle Shan to inquire about someone, by the way, could it be that your family found it? The man was thin, on the left side of his face, noisy, right here, with a big black mole and a tuft of beard on his chin. ”
There is a black mole on the left side of his face, a beard, a thin man, Jin Wen popped up in his head, the housekeeper of the uncle's family, Han Shou, if it was really him, it would definitely not be his brother who found him, if he found it, it would fall into the hands of his uncle's family...... She shuddered at the thought of the consequences.
"Sister Arwen, what's wrong with you? His face turned white. ”
"Awen, Awen......" Before she could say anything, Wang Rui ran over with Da Zhuang's younger brother Aniu, "There is someone here, it should be looking for you, saying that it is from your family." ”
"Brother Huzi, did that person say who was looking for me?"
"He said that he was the housekeeper of the Shuozhou Han Mansion, and said that your brother had returned home, so let him come to find you to go back."
"It's definitely not my brother, and if my brother sends someone, he won't let someone from my uncle's family come to find him. Brother Huzi, have you ever sued him? ”
"Don't worry, Dad asked me to come to you, just to ask you, Dad only told him that you brought back a girl in Yunyang County, saying that your name is Awen, and the others didn't tell us."
"But he wants to see me, what can I do, when I see him, I know it's me."
"Also, what can I do, he won't leave if he doesn't see people."
"Ah Niu, did this person ask you anything on the way?" Chunye was originally going out to send Jinwen, but after listening to their words, he interjected and asked on the side.
"No, this person is rude, looking at people in his nostrils."
"Awen, don't worry, I have a way, let Chunhua go back with you, if it's good, you can go out to see him, if it's not good, let Chunhua go to see him, just say that it is Chunhua who came back from Yunyang County with Uncle Shan."
"This method is good, hurry up and call Chunhua. By the way, what will spring flowers say when they arrive? ”
Jin Wen thought about it, it was easy to make a mistake if he said more, "Just nod and shake your head, it's good not to say more." ”
After Chunhua came over, Wang Rui took him home, Jinwen felt uneasy, and came out of Da Zhuang's house directly and trotted all the way along the village east road to the back of the house, and eavesdropped on the wall behind the house.
"My old lady is worried about Miss, I will explain when I go out, if I find a kind person who takes care of Miss, I will definitely reward you with a hundred taels of silver, Wang Yuanshan, if you take in my Miss, you will make a fortune."
Sure enough, it was Han Shou's voice, he actually took a hundred taels of silver to lure, he didn't know the value of silver before, but now, Jin Wen naturally knows that one hundred taels of silver is enough to make the Wang family father and son from today's farmers, to a small landlord, the Wang family originally had more than ten acres of land, to pay off debts, sold seven acres of good land, and seven acres of good land, and only exchanged more than 20 taels of silver, she grabbed her left hand with her right hand, just thinking that if her father said that Chunhua was not, then she would run into Beishan from here.
"Dad, we're back, I'll call Arwen back." Wang Rui shouted and walked in, Han Shou stepped out of the door of the hall at once, his eyes turned around, and when he saw the spring flower standing behind Wang Rui, he asked Wang Yuanshan: "Is this girl you brought home?" ”
Wang Yuanshan glanced at it and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you see that you have lived at home for a few months, and people have become fat and white, is it your young lady?" ”
Han Shou looked at Chunhua's thin arms and black face, and when he heard Wang Yuanshan say that he was fat, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and said, "No, I'll say goodbye first" and turned around and left, "Do you want to recognize it anymore, big housekeeper?" Wang Yuanshan asked. Han Shou walked faster without saying a word, this poor ghost, thinking about the hundred taels of silver, it also depends on whether there is that life.
Seeing him go away, Wang Yuanshan laughed, Chunhua and Wang Rui saw that people were gone, and they couldn't stop laughing, Han Jinwen knew that Han Shou was gone, but she sat on the ground, and for a while she only felt that she couldn't stand up like she was out of strength, and she was moved and ashamed, how could she doubt that her father and Brother Huzi would sell themselves for money?
In the evening, Wang Yuanshan and Wang Rui were in a very good mood, and asked Jinwen to see the harvest in Beishan in the past few days, and actually hit a deer, a roe deer and five pheasants.
"Silly boy, it's not you yet, if you don't move, you still have to chase, you can run on two legs over four legs? If you happen to meet a woman who has a child, a pangolin can be sold for one or two taels of silver. Wang Yuanshan said regretfully.
"Worth that much?"
"Of course, pangolins can be used as medicine."
Jin Wen listened to Wang Rui regretting that he was too slow, Wang Yuanshan said a few times and patted him on the head, smiling and smiling, but his eyes were red.
"Awen, I think they can all find here, there must be more people in Yunzhou, and I definitely can't inquire again this year."
"Well, what my father said is that if my brother is safe, he will definitely come to look for me, so it's better to wait at home."
"That's what you said, fortunately, Han Shou didn't ask anyone else and came here." Wang Yuanshan didn't say a word about the hundred taels of silver, but he didn't think about it, and Jinwen was embarrassed to say that he was eavesdropping, but he didn't know.
