Lin Yuniang felt that the Lin family had a large population at first, and when she arrived in Huangfu, she knew what it meant to have a prosperous population. Although according to the law at this time, her maternal grandfather, Mrs. Huang, as a cloth cloth, could not take concubines, but this kind of thing, whether it is modern or ancient, is beyond the control of the law. The so-called people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, and Mrs. Huang is rich, and she has a bunch of aunts.

Mrs. Huang has two sons-in-law and a daughter-in-law, namely Lin Yuniang and Lin Yueniang's mother, Huang. There are 14 other concubines and concubines, and there are many children who did not survive. Coupled with the fourth generation of the Huang family, the main population is about to reach 50. Old lady Huang's son, all of them moved out after they got married, except for his sister-in-law, because he really couldn't live, as a famous rich businessman in Zhaocheng, the life of the Huang family was very luxurious, and it was impossible for everyone to squeeze together. Even so, the main population of the Huang family is more than 10.

Old lady Huang looked at the two sisters and asked them, "Did your father and mother write to you?" Lin Yueniang smiled and said, "No, if my father and mother write to us, I will definitely write to my grandfather." Old Lady Huang smiled and asked questions, but Old Lady Huang hurriedly stopped him: "Oh, you old man talk a lot, Yueniang, Yuniang, you go and put your things away first, and then your grandmother will take you to buy things." ”

Lin Yueniang said: "Thank you, grandmother, we have made an appointment with Qing Niang Fangniang to go together tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Qing Niang Fang Niang is also here?" Why don't you come to our house? Lin Yueniang said: "They are at the second uncle's house, and they will come to see their grandfather and grandmother tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Huang didn't ask: "Okay, then tomorrow my grandmother will go with me, okay?" Lin Yuniang thinks this is not good, according to Mrs. Huang's temperament, she must want to "buy, buy, buy" for them, but Chu Niang and they may not have so much silver. If the Li family is not there, buy it, and look at the appearance of this morning, the Li family will definitely go together. Li will definitely not watch Mrs. Huang pay money, it is not good to buy it like this, it is not good not to buy it, but it is not happy. hurriedly said: "Grandmother, but Yu Niang wants to go shopping twice!" I will go with my sister and second aunt tomorrow, and I will join you the day after tomorrow, okay? ”

Old Lady Huang smiled and nodded: "Our Jade Lady will still count like this!" My grandmother agreed. ”

Aunt Zhao said: "Then Sister Xiu and Sister Zhen will also go together." Lin Yueniang was very happy: "Okay, okay, grandmother, aunt, I'm going to go and play with Sister Xiu's real sister." Mrs. Huang said to Zhao, "What a child, go and play with your sisters." ”

Lin Yueniang and Lin Yuniang went to Huang Xiu's house together. Huang Xiu is not alone in the house, her sister Huang Zhen is also there, in addition, there is also their aunt, Lin Yueniang Lin Yuniang's aunt Huang Yuan. Huang Xiu is 10 years old this year, Huang Zhen is 7 years old this year, one month younger than Lin Yueniang, is the daughter of their little uncle, and Huang Yuan is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Huang, a concubine, 15 years old this year, she has been engaged, and she will get married next year.

Lin Yueniang and Lin Yuniang saluted Huang Yuan, and Huang Yuan hurriedly returned the salute. The three of them were embroidering in the house. Huang Yuan will get married next year, and embroidery is still more important. Lin Yueniang saw that they were embroidering and got up: "True sister, you can also embroider?" ”

Huang Zhen picked up the forehead wipes in his hand and said happily: "Why can't I?" You see, I embroidered it for my grandmother. Lin Yuniang looked at the forehead, forehead, she could only say that if Huang Zhen didn't tell her, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize it, Huang Zhen is also dead, others are new to embroidery, just make a purse, sew a pair of socks or something, she does a forehead wipe! The forehead wipe is worn on the head, and seriously, she won't wear it anyway.

Lin Yueniang also smiled when she saw her forehead: "This, well, you are a newcomer, and it is still very good." Huang Xiu smiled: "I said that I asked you not to embroider your forehead, and you still took it out for others to see, this is a shame." Huang Zhen wiped his forehead unhappily and threw it away: "Hmph, I know my embroidery is not good-looking." I don't embroider anymore! ”

Huang Yuan persuaded her: "Sister Zhen, if you want to learn embroidery, you have to hold on, otherwise your sister-in-law will scold you." Hearing Huang Yuan mention his mother, Huang Zhen reluctantly picked up the forehead, embroidered a few stitches, and put down the forehead: "Auntie, I'll change the embroidery, I'll embroider a purse." ”

Huang Yuan looked at the "wipe forehead" on her hand. immediately agreed with her: "Okay, then you can change it to a purse." But you have to embroider your purse well, and you can't give up halfway. Huang Zhen was happy and said to Lin Yueniang: "Sister Yueniang, do you know how to embroider?" ”

Lin Yueniang said: "Coincidentally, I came this time to ask my aunt to help me find an embroidery girl to teach me." Huang Xiu said: "That's not simple, you must find a good embroidery girl to teach you then." ”

Lin Yueniang smiled and said, "Then I want to thank Sister Xiu." Huang Xiu also put down the things in his hand: "Auntie, Sister Yueniang and Sister Yuniang are here, let's stop embroidering." After saying that, he took the sisters to the yard together.

Huang Yuan said: "Then you guys can play together, I'll go back first." She knew that some of their sisters might go to the yard to kick shuttlecocks, and she was 15 years old and wouldn't play with a few children.

Huang Xiu really wanted to kick the shuttlecock, she called the maid next to her to come to the shuttlecock, and said to them: "Let's divide into 2 groups and take turns to kick, 3 times in each group, to see which group kicks more." Huang Zhen said: "Then I want to be in a group with Yueniang." "Lin Yuniang is young and can't kick a few. Huang Xiu didn't fight with her, and agreed directly. Lin Yuniang and Lin Yueniang have no opinions.

Lin Yuniang doesn't usually play with children, but if it is a shuttlecock kick or skipping rope, she will agree. She thinks it's a good exercise.

The sisters kicked the shuttlecock there, Huang Xiu was the oldest, and she kicked the shuttlecock the best, but there was a Lin Yuniang who dragged her back, every time they lost, Lin Yuniang was embarrassed to get up. Just watch there alone, let the three of them play together. As a result, Huang Xiu kept winning, and Huang Zhen was unwilling. Everyone also sweated and went back to the house together.

The maid brought a few bowls of white porcelain bowls of sour plum soup, which looked very refreshing. It's autumn now, but it's still hot, and I'm sweating. They were drinking iced sour plum soup, and there was a maid next to them to fan them, Lin Yuniang felt really comfortable. When they finished drinking, the maids immediately put away the dishes, and Lin Yuniang only needed to sit there. It seems that as long as you have money, whether it is ancient or modern, you can live comfortably, Lin Yuniang thought to herself.
