Chapter 21: Diao Nu
Out of Jiang's house, Jiang Youcai's face was heavier than the dark clouds in the sky. In the past, when he was not favored, all kinds of petty stammers to please himself, but now Uncle Xun coaxed a little and gave a little sweetness, I really thought that I could go to the capital to be the eldest lady, and I didn't look at my own virtue, where is the eldest lady's style!
He spat on the ground hatefully, and Jiang Youcai walked in the direction of his house.
Jiang Tiezhu stood at the door and was about to close the door, and when he saw Jiang Youcai's movements, he couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Youcai's family, this is the time when he is busy. The seventh uncle of the former son sent a letter to Jiang Youcai, asking him to come back to participate in the Winter Moon Festival, and yesterday the family killed the big fat pig that had been raised for a year, and he also wanted to make up for his grandson. Who knew that not only he came back this time, but even their husband and grandson Wang Zongshui also came with him, not to mention how happy the seventh uncle was.
It was such a long way from the city to the village, and when it was snowing heavily, Mr. actually came with him without hesitation, what does it mean? It shows that his grandson is excellent. As soon as he thought that his family would soon have a Jinshi master, the seventh uncle felt warm all over.
Yesterday I killed the pig and invited the people in the village to eat the pig killing feast, but fortunately, there were many dishes prepared yesterday, otherwise I was in a hurry at this time, and I couldn't take anything else to greet Mr. except pork.
Seeing Jiang Youcai coming back, the seventh uncle glanced at him inquiringly, and Jiang Youcai shook his head with a gloomy face. The seventh uncle almost jumped up suddenly, and when he saw that the gentleman was here, he stopped his anger a little, and muttered and scolded twice.
This night, Jiang Youcai's room was vacated for Mr. to live, and he and his cousin Wang Zongshui went to the uncle's house to make peace with his cousin for a night.
Because of Jiang Quino's refusal, the seventh uncle was angry and didn't sleep well after tossing and turning all night, and got up early the next morning, panting and walking to Jiang's house.
"The seventh old lady came early, did you eat breakfast?" Qing Bo welcomed the seventh uncle to the hall and asked.
The seventh uncle waved his hand and said sharply: "Go, call me out of Jiang Quinoa." My father and mother are not around and there is no elder to teach her, it is indeed not the same, I have to teach her the rules today. ”
When Qingbo saw him like this, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart. gave the lotus a look, and then said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, Miss and Tiezhu went to the ancestral hall in the morning." ”
The seventh uncle jumped up when he heard this: "She is a girl, who let her go to the ancestral hall?" What qualifications does she have to go to the ancestral hall? It's all you slaves, a good guy who has been raised like this, has no rules, and doesn't know how to respect the elders. You go and call her back to me. ”
"The seventh old lady is serious, and the old slave doesn't dare to be a slave." Qing Bo originally respected the seventh uncle as an elder, and he has always spoken very politely, who knows that the more respectful he is, the more rude the seventh uncle is, no matter how bad his own young lady is, it is also raised by the old lady, you are an uncle in the clan, who gave you the right to reprimand like this? Besides, my own young lady is smart and studious, respects teachers and teaching, respects the old and loves the young, and even Mr. praises him, who dares to say that his young lady is not good?
The seventh uncle blew his beard and glared, but Qing Bo was not afraid of him, if he really made a fuss, the Jiang family's status in the entire Jiangli Village might not be inferior. Whose parents will come to the younger generation's house early in the morning, accusing other girls of being bad and slaves being bad.
"What's the matter with the seventh old lady looking for Miss? If you are busy, leave a message, and the old slave will tell the young lady that you have been busy since ancient times. If the seventh old lady is fine, then forgive the little one who can't be accompanied. "The last time Uncle Seven came over with the patriarch, he was talking bad about his own young lady, and Qing Bo endured it at that time, but he didn't expect to endure it for a while, but it made him even worse. He really thinks that he is of high seniority, so he can rely on the old and sell the old, and everyone must respect him. The premise is that the person is worthy of respect.
"You!" Uncle Seven's hands trembled, but Uncle Qing had already shouted loudly: "Seventh Old Lady go slowly." ”
"Hmph, Diao Nu, when I go back, I will ask my grandson to write a letter to Brother Xun and buy you Diao Nu, I see that you are still arrogant." The seventh uncle said viciously and threw his sleeves away.
Waiting for the people to leave, Qing Bo slowly began to clean up the tea on the table, and the lotus saw that there was no one in the hall, so he came in.
"Told Miss?" Qingbo asked.
Lotus took the things in Qingbo's hand and nodded: "Anyway, I'll let the young lady go through the back door." This seventh uncle is getting worse and worse, and he points the finger at Miss all day long, and he doesn't know where Miss offended him. ”
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Qing Bo sighed, and when he saw that the lotus flower looked puzzled, he said: "If Miss is like the people in the village, she is an ordinary country girl, and she may not be so hard." The lord and the lady are far away in the capital, but the lady was left in the countryside, the first few years others were still taken in the majesty of the lord, and the lady was far away, in recent years, I have seen the lady getting older day by day, but the old lady has no intention of taking the lady to her side, who will value the miss? ”
"Miss's status is high, but she can't hold it up, so it's better not to." Qingbo Road.
Lotus didn't understand it at first, no matter what, Miss is Miss, where is her identity, who would dare to lose her? But when I thought of myself, I suddenly understood something. First of all, she became the cook of the Jiang family, she was really beautiful at that time, and the concubine also respected her, stammered with her in various ways, and everyone greeted her happily when she went out. also said that when the old lady returned to the capital after keeping filial piety, maybe she would take her with her. At that time, she was also very happy, but she was reluctant to have her parents and children. Later, the old lady left, and there was only one master left in the whole house, and everyone was very enthusiastic about them at first, thinking that when the old lady in the capital settled down, they would definitely let them all pass, but who knew that this wait would be far away.
Miss is also a miserable person!
At this time, Jiang Quinoa, Jiang Chun, and Xingni were sitting on the ox cart and laughing, Zhao Liang drove the car and listened to the bursts of laughter behind him, and suddenly felt that the cold wind blowing on his face was not so biting.
"This oxcart is really good, your eldest brother usually cherishes this oxcart so much, how can he be willing to lend it to us this time?" Jiang Chun touched left and right, she knew how much Xingni's brother cherished this oxcart.
Xingni's little face smiled, pointed to Zhao Liang on the wheel, and said: "He persuaded my brother, I don't know what he said, anyway, my brother lent us the ox cart with a tiger face, but he told him to take care of it, where is there a little damage, he wants Zhao Liang to know how hard his fists are." ”
Looking at Xingni's appearance, her family should have begun to slowly accept Zhao Liang. Since the first two months let him slowly adjust to no longer spend all day in the gambling house, his gambling addiction is much smaller than before, and he has become more down-to-earth. At the beginning of the month, he settled the account and divided him ten taels of silver, but he didn't take it to gamble again, handed over the money to Xingni to save, bought some materials by himself, and repaired the dilapidated temple at the head of the village, barely able to survive this winter.
It's okay, Zhao Liang went to Xingni's house to hang around, and his head was always driven out by Xingni's eldest brother with a broom, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough, and he went twice in three days, and he didn't care if he was beaten. Later, it slowly made Xingni's family send an attitude, but they still had to inspect him, so they were worried that he would recur his habits one day, and he would gamble all day long.
Jiang Quinoa gave gambling money to Zhao Liang, and the few people who knew about Zhao Liang were also tight-lipped and didn't reveal half a sentence to outsiders. Xingni's father and mother didn't know that Zhao Liang was also the master of the silver now, and when he was poor, he always remembered his life-saving kindness to Xingni that year, and often left him to eat at home. This came and went, after it was cooked, Zhao Liang would be shameless and shameless to treat Xingni's house as a second home, and go to Xingni's house every day when he got up, help sweep the yard, carry water, chop wood, and reluctantly go back to the temple after dinner in the evening.
After Jiang Chun heard about it, he shook his head, feeling that Xingni's father and mother were too kind-hearted and soft-hearted. With such a bad record as Zhao Liang, no matter how you say it, you have to take a few loose and loose bones first, starve for a few days, have a long memory, and finally have to educate and educate well, and only then can you forgive by looking at your performance.
Holding Xingni's hand, Jiang Qu said, "Xingni, congratulations." "Congratulations, you've made it to the end.
Xingni shook Jiang Quinoa's hand back, smiling and smiling, but there were tears in her eyes. Zhao Liang can get rid of his bad habits, and his parents' family can agree with him, which she couldn't have imagined before. Now it's all happening.
"Thank you." Xingni said with some excitement.
Jiang Chun was also a little sad, waved his hand, and said: "Alas, what do you say you are doing, we are going to the city today to buy something, this is a happy thing, what are you crying and crying, what a disappointment." ”
Xingni wiped her eyes and said, "Yes, the days are getting better and better, let's live happily." She silently prayed in her heart that Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun could live smoothly in their lives.
