Chapter 828: The Wife is Responsible
"Brother Xuan is not only outstanding in mental arithmetic, his painting attainments are also very high, as well as business talents, and his knowledge is also very wide. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He can remember what he has read and read, and he can draw inferences from others, and his brain is very smart. Intelligence is also genetic, and the emperor's uncle and little aunt are quite wise people. Don't you want to have a child prodigy grandson in the future? Don't care if it's the main room or the side room, but whether your descendants are Zhuge Kongming or not. ”
"Teachable and taught, Weichen taught." Zhou Peigong repeatedly saluted the emperor with his fists.
"There is another sentence to tell your daughter-to-be-married, Uncle Huang often said, fight for the insufficient, let more than enough. This is a saying in Buddhism, but it is also an eternal truth. I just hope that your daughter will not learn from those women from big families, who are in a state of cockfighting every day, for fear that others will hurt her. The emperor's uncle has two wives, both of whom care for each other and are humble to each other, so there has not been any vicious incident in their house. ”
"Weichen understands, I must tell the little girl what you mean, so that she can take precautions."
Xuan'er came to the new room of the last side Fujin, and saw the bride sitting upright on the marriage bed, gently picking Zhou Xinyao's hijab with a weighing rod, the girl in front of her was extremely pure, although her beauty was not as good as Li Ling'er, and her naivety was not as good as "at first glance", but it was as quiet as a ray of spring sunshine and a handful of yellow chrysanthemums in autumn.
The girl was shy and did not dare to look up. Xuan'er sat beside her, "I heard that Your Excellency is a talented woman in Jingmen, can this king give you a few brainteaser questions?" ”
"Lord Wang, please ask the question."
"First question, there is an animal that looks like a cat and looks like a tiger, what kind of animal is this?"
"Is there such an animal in the world?"
"Didn't you say there was an animal?"
"Oh, that's a little tiger."
"Clever."
"What can be used to solve all the mysteries?"
"It's not easy, how can there be anything once and for all?"
"Guess again."
"I can't guess."
"Don't give up."
"I really can't guess, please show the answer to the mystery."
"Didn't you answer?"
"I know, I know, it's the mystery."
"Third, what's the fastest way to turn ice into water?"
"Pour the ice into the pot and add firewood underneath."
"Slow."
"Pour boiling water on top of the ice."
"Still slow."
"Lord Wang, please show me the answer."
"Can't really guess? Well, this king tells you to remove the two points of water from the ice word. ”
Zhou Xinyao laughed, laughing so much that her shoulders kept shaking.
"It's not too early, it's time to settle."
"Xin'er serves you in a wide coat."
The two of them were lying on the bed, and Zhou Xinyao thought of the answer question that removed the two points again, and smiled.
Xuan'er turned over and hugged Zhou Xinyao. He already liked the girl a little. Li Ling'er is beautiful, too extraordinary, as if she does not eat fireworks in the world. This girl is very ordinary, with a clear spirit in the ordinary. He also likes Ling'er, Sayikan, and Ulihan, but his favorite is Tian Rui!
Finally completed the sowing task of "spreading branches and leaves" given by the Empress Dowager. After staying in Zhou Xinyao's room for two days, Xuan'er returned to Tian Rui's room and stayed for five consecutive days and came to Fujin Wulihan's residence on the Mannu side again. As soon as Hada saw that the prince Xuan had arrived, he hurriedly came out to greet him, and after a squatting ceremony, a maid brought a tea cup: "Lord Wang, please use tea." ”
"Okay." Xuan Wang Ye took the teacup and sniffed it, "This is Junshan Silver Needle." ”
Ullihan said, "Exactly." I don't know if the prince likes it. ”
"Not bad. This king will go to Melenari today, and to your room tomorrow. ”
"Yes, Hada knows."
Mailer was very happy to hear that Xuan'er was in her room. Quite simply, he asked, "Have you bathed?" ”
"You mean you can't go to bed without a bath?"
"No, that's not what Mailer meant, Mailer still has a lot of hot water here, you can use it while it's hot, otherwise the firewood will be wasted."
"You will live, in order not to waste your hot water, this king will bathe in your place today, and take you to Eniang's place tomorrow to take a shower."
"What's a shower?"
"It's like rain pouring water on you. This is what my Amma, Eniang and uncle brought back from a foreign land, and they don't need to soak themselves in the water, but they put warm water in a higher water tank behind them, and then through the switch of the shower head, they can release and stop the water by themselves, which not only saves time and water, but also does not have to worry about being infected with skin diseases. ”
"Isn't that all naked to the outside? How embarrassing are you? ”
"You're in the bath, not on the street. It's not early, let's settle. ”
"Lord, can Mailer ask you a question?"
"Say it."
"Will these nice things in Mailer's room be taken away in a few days or will they be returned to Mailer?"
"This is E-Niang's way to decorate your room to add a festive atmosphere, what to do when you take it away? Seems like you like it a lot? ”
"Naturally, I like it, you see how beautiful that long string of flowers are together, and if you wear it on your head, it seems to be very good."
"Okay, tomorrow morning, this king will help you put these flowers on your head and give them to Ama Eniang to say goodbye, and then Eniang will praise you for being a stupid big sister. Anyway, your Ama is an official of the third grade, and his daughter is going to be scum. ”
Mailer's mouth pursed into the old high.
In the Ziwei Pavilion, Li Ling'er and Zhou Xinyao were studying the brain teasers left by Xuan'er on the table in the hall, Li Ling'er read the exam questions gently, and Zhou Xinyao was listening carefully.
"In the first way, two dogs race, dog A runs fast, dog B runs slowly, and when you reach the finish line, which dog sweats more?"
Ling'er thought seriously for a while and said: "Of course, the dog sweats a lot, runs fast, and has a lot of strength, so it naturally sweats a lot." ”
Zhou Xinyao said: "It doesn't seem to be, right? Dogs have a very thick coat of fur and a layer of leather, how can sweat seep out of such a thick leather when the dog is sweating? According to my father, dogs will hang their long tongues in the summer, and sweat will drip down their tongues. ”
"I'm sorry, Ling'er can't even answer such a simple question."
"It's not that you can't answer, it's that your family definitely doesn't have a dog, and you don't know the habits of dogs."
"Second Question ......"
Just guessing, Zhou Xinyao's maid Yan'er came in and passed the message: "Two Fujin, Tong Fujin is invited." ”
Zhou Xinyao and Li Ling'er hurriedly repaired themselves, and followed Ke'er, the maid of Yiranlou, who came to pick them up, to Fujin's room. Hada and Mailer had already arrived first. There are also Chang Fujin Tian Rui, and Chen Fujin is also present. Everyone is here, please be safe.
Fu Jin smiled gently: "You don't have to be nervous, E-Niang will tell you something." You also know that everyone in our house is involved in the prince's business. If you also want to participate, just sign up with Mrs. Nalan next to Chen Fujin. Applicants will be given a set of tools to do the work, and there will be materials that will be sent one after another in the future. It's just that Eniang sees that you are usually not very busy, so I want to ask you, why not do such a not very tiring and rewarding thing? Your participation is tantamount to helping the prince to increase the treasury with silver, which is used to remove the three feudatories." For men, "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", and for us women, it is the responsibility of the wife. Chen Fujin and Tian followed the prince and traveled for a year, and learned some exotic cloth art, weaving and other methods from a distant foreign land, and after coming back, they successively taught the eight teachers in the house, and they transferred to all the girls and grandmothers in the house. The effect is not bad, there are large families ordering one after another, and there are several consignment stores in retail. If you want to learn exotic skills and participate in the processing of cloth art and weaving, Tian Fujin will teach you these skills. You guys go back and think about it, don't rush to sign up. Don't be bound by your identity, E-Niang and Chen Fujin both participated, as well as several ladies in the mansion also participated. It is only natural that we earn money for our labor and get paid, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the four side Fujin were immediately eager to try. Tong Fujin couldn't be clearer, working not only makes money, but also fulfills his responsibilities. But I just don't know if the fabric and weaving are good or not. The previous ones were all trial works, not so formal.
Looking at the expressions of several young grandmothers who were a little hesitant, Yun'er said, "You're worried that the skills are not easy to learn, right?" Suffice it to say, as long as you are not a fool and anyone can learn it, you are all literate and it is easier to understand. ”
Three of the four young grandmothers looked at Ullihan. Because she came first, in fact, everyone was already itching. Looking at it now, the richest person in the family is only Mailer, and Wu Lihan's dowry debt seems to be 10,000 taels, most of which she borrowed from her relatives, Li Ling'er's father's official position is not low, but it is Qingshui Yamen, and the dowry is also peeled off a layer of skin; Not to mention Zhou Xinyao, if her father hadn't been discovered by the emperor, she would have almost eaten now. Doing handicrafts to make money is definitely willing to participate. So Wu Lihan stood up very bravely: "The two mothers, the daughter-in-law will sign up, so there is no need to think about such a thing that is beneficial to both public and private." ”
"Ling'er also signed up." Li Linger also expressed her position.
"Xin'er also signed up." Another one to participate.
"Mailer has wanted to report for a long time. Although the Mailer family is not short of money, Mailer is very fond of these gadgets. ”
"It's good that you can all sign up, but if you participate in fabric processing, your personal hobbies won't be taken care of, and it may be abandoned after a long time." Yun'er reminded.
"No, although Ling'er likes poetry and songs, the poems she writes are not very good, it's just a hobby, it's better to make cloth art."
Zhou Xinyao said: "What Sister Ling'er said is also what Xin'er wants to say. Although the poetry and songs are elegant, making cloth is also a pleasure. Xin'er came to the house at the latest, and she didn't want to be left behind.
Yun'er said: "In fact, making cloth art and weaving are also very temperamental, what is cloth art?" It's delicate needlework, what will be pleasing to the eye when it is exquisite, and those poems that have been recited through the ages are not also pleasing to the eye? It's not that you are tired of this, it's to do your best, you can do as much as you can, you won't be very tired, and you won't be homesick if you have something to do. ”
Wu Lihan said: "Hada likes to make delicate gadgets the most, but his brain is a little stupid and afraid of causing trouble to Tian Fujin." ”
Tian Rui smiled: "It's not that serious, the younger sisters are smart people at first glance." Don't be afraid, there's nothing too advanced, I'm just learning a few days before you. ”
Seeing that there were no objections, Fu Jin said to Yun'er: "Sister, you can prepare tools and materials." ”
"Okay, let's go back to the residence first, E-Niang will send you the tools and materials together, and then you will go to Tong Fujin's Yiran Building hall to study with Tian Fujin. By the way, the girls and grandmothers around you can sign up, and there is no identity restriction for this. ”
As soon as Yun'er said this, several young grandmothers were even happier.
Fu Jin has always been aware of what to do, and continued: "If you start to make cloth art, maybe the usual time will be tighter, and it will not be easy to go back to your parents' house. You go back to freshen up and get dressed, and your mother will prepare a gift for you to go home, give each of you a few pieces of jewelry, and put on your clothes, shoes and socks. Then I will send you a car and a man. When you go home, you take a grandmother and a girl with you, and keep a caretaker. The house will give you a girl and a grandmother to follow, and send you to the door of the house, so that your face will also look good. Then go back to your room, and in an hour someone will send you out. ”
The four young side Fujin are all about to cheer, the mother-in-law here is really good! I was thinking about my parents, so I let me go home. It seems that no palace is so reasonable, right? Since entering the house, he has never received a lesson or reprimand, and he has always been kind and pleasant. Even if Tian Fujin doesn't have any threats or hints, it's good to always be like this. People are prone to illness if they live in a depressing environment all the time. Of course, I can't get carried away because of my parents-in-law's charity. How did they know that the two elders of Fujin were worried about the four of them, for fear that if they were too idle for a long time, they would have conflicts and start fighting. The butterfly's wings flapped and I don't know what the consequences were. If the government fights, even the strong side will be hurt, and no one will be happy.
When the four side Fujin returned to their residences, they began to freshen up and dress up under the service of the nurse and the maid. After a while, the clothes were delivered, and there was a small transparent box containing several particularly beautiful pieces of jewelry. The golden step hairpin has a long string of beads at the top; The ear-digging hairpin with a lilac orchid is quite elegant; There is also a long necklace; There are also two nail-sized peony flower balls, each with a small clip on it, and they are put on with just one card. There is also a pair of shiny bracelets and a few hairpins. In the plate is a cheongsam, the material of the cheongsam is the best brocade, on which is the embroidery of Suzhou embroidery, the embroidery is particularly good, and the protruding cloth surface is not a little wrinkled. A pair of trouser legs embroidered with a circle of gold thread pattern gauze pants, two pairs of white socks. The ones who came to give the gifts were Ke'er in Fujin's room, and the eunuchs Fuzi and Luzi who carried the plates.
Ke'er explained the use of gifts, clothing, and jewelry, and then said: "The slaves and maids will retire, and there will be a sedan chair to pick up the masters when they are young, and then get on the car when they get to the gate of the house." There will be a car to pick you up tomorrow and take you home. ”
"Thank you Kerr and the two fathers-in-law, please accept this little meaning. Lotus leaves, you go to send grandma and father-in-law. ”
Sayikan's nurse is a Han Chinese, thirty-five or sixteen years old. High cheekbones, red phoenix eyes, always squinting at people as if they can't open their eyes. looks a little mean, and it doesn't match the pleasing master. The maids sent by Mama Zheng are a little afraid of her.
"Oh, girl, look, the cheongsam that Fujin gave you is too beautiful, right? What kind of flower is this embroidered by someone, it looks like the real thing. The always calm nurse Zeng Mama Danfeng's eyes suddenly increased and brightened, and she looked like she was making a fuss.
