Chapter 102: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
Li Ziyu took Xiaoshan out of the old village chief's house to say goodbye, and her heart was also very heavy.
The old village chief is a good man, and he tries his best to solve problems for anyone who has something to do, without a little selfishness, and this kind of character is commendable.
Li Ziyu estimated that the old village chief might have encountered difficulties, and it was also a difficulty in the money, otherwise he would not have received the five taels of silver just now.
It stands to reason that this will not happen to his family, and the income from the grocery store and thirty acres of land can fully support the tuition and miscellaneous expenses of several grandchildren.
But there are no absolutes in the world, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. When you have time to chat with Xiaohua, you can know how to help if you know the reason.
Now that she has this ability, she doesn't want the old village chief to be embarrassed because of the money. The old village chief didn't help her less when her family was in the most difficult time, and if the money could solve it, it wouldn't be a big deal.
When Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan returned home, Xiaowen sat at the table reading in the east room, but there was a chattering sound in the west room.
"Auntie, I also have new cotton clothes, and I have flowers, but they look good."
"Auntie, I have it too, hmph, I don't want to spend it."
"Okay, it's okay to have flowers and no flowers, the sixth lady and the fifth young master look good in them."
"Hmph, that's a child. Auntie, my new cotton clothes have already been made, and I will wear them for you to wear during the Chinese New Year. ”
"Okay, Auntie wait and see."
"Huh? Sister Xiaoou, are you embroidering? ”
"That's right! Miss Six, I embroidered a plum blossom on the cuffs. Do you want to embroider one for you? ”
"This is my sister Xiaoou, do you really embroider for me?"
"Of course. If you want to embroider, you can now. ”
"Then you wait, I'll go get the cotton clothes."
I heard only the sound of footsteps. Xiaolan lifted the curtain and ran into the east room.
She panted slightly, and said to Li Ziyu, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, "Sister, where is my new cotton clothes?" Give it to me, Sister Xiaoou said to embroider for me, but it's beautiful. ”
Li Ziyu reached out and took Xiaolan in her arms, rubbed Xiaolan's soft and silky hair with her chin, and asked, "Doesn't Lanlan like the cotton clothes that my sister made for you?" Lan Lan's cotton clothes were originally pink flowers. If you embroider it again, it will not look good and will destroy the overall beauty. Besides, it's almost the New Year. Sister Xiaoou doesn't have a new cotton clothes yet, let's wait for the next time we make new clothes, we must embroider flowers, okay? "Li Ziyu's recent improvement in food is most obvious in the hair and complexion of the big guy. The hair of the younger siblings has changed from the original yellow and dry. It becomes much smoother and shinier. The complexion has also become ruddy and delicate. Cute, tender, and very rare. Li Ziyu is sometimes rare, and she really wants to knead their tender faces with her hands and have a good time. I was afraid of scaring them, so I didn't take action.
Xiaolan didn't understand what her sister said about the overall beauty, but she only remembered that the embroidered flowers were not good-looking, so she quickly nodded and said, "Well, I listen to my sister." No embroidery. ”
Li Ziyu just breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiaolan asked suspiciously, "Sister Xiaoou doesn't know?" ”
"Know what?"
"It's not nice to embroider flowers! My sister said it wasn't good-looking. Sister Xiao Ou is still embroidering, and said that it is wrong to embroider for me, sister, Sister Xiao Ou's cotton clothes are embroidered with flowers, why is my cotton clothes embroidered with flowers not good? ”
Li Ziyu didn't expect Xiaolan to be so serious, so she had to patiently explain: "Whether the embroidery looks good or not depends on what kind of fabric it is, Sister Xiaoou's fabric is cyan, and it looks good when embroidered with flowers, and your fabric has a lot of flowers, so it doesn't look good when embroidered." You don't understand this now, but when you grow up, you will understand. ”
Li Ziyu didn't need to look to know that Xiao Ou was making a cover. The fabrics of the outer cover Li Ziyu bought are all cyan, and embroidering some colors appropriately will add some beauty. In order to save trouble, but also to resist dirt, all the fabrics on the cover are cyan.
Later, with two little beauties, I really bought some other colors. She has forgotten that she is also a woman and needs to be dressed appropriately.
Xiaolan nodded as if she didn't understand: "Well, okay." I listen to my sister, my clothes will be cyan in the future, I want to embroider flowers, good-looking! With that, he scurried back to the Westinghouse.
When Li Ziyu heard this, she secretly dripped cold sweat. What is the aesthetic of this little beauty? I'll really pay attention to this in the future.
After appeasing Xiaolan, Li Ziyu went to the kang to figure out how to store the silver coins separately.
Xiaoshan sat down at the table since he came back, and practiced calligraphy with Xiaowen. In the past few days, because of writing according to the calligraphy, everyone's writing level has improved to varying degrees. The most obvious is Xiaowen, maybe he was born interested in writing, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the level of writing by leaps and bounds.
This calligraphy book is a fake copy of the [Duobao Pagoda Tablet] of Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, although it is a fake, but it is also very valuable to their sisters and brothers.
[Duobao Pagoda Tablet] is Yan Zhenqing's early fame. The writing is respectful and sincere, well-behaved, and magnificent. The whole article is tightly structured, there is a black silk fence between the lines, the dot painting is round, dignified and beautiful, and it seems to be still and moving, floating like a fairy. Because Yan Zhenqing created his own book style in his early years, it is most suitable for beginners to learn.
She also wondered how the Daye Dynasty could have the relics of the Tang and Sui Dynasty. Could it be that after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the ancestors of the Daye Dynasty established the Daye Dynasty? Li Ziyu didn't want to ask anyone this question, so she had to secretly stuff herself in her heart.
Xiaowen's dedication to books these days is almost fanatical, and in addition to the necessary martial arts training every day, he spends most of his time studying. Li Ziyu sometimes looks distressed and relieved. She is relieved that her brother can be so motivated, but she feels sorry for his excessive hard work. She knew that Xiaowen was the most sensible and a child with the city government in her heart. She is most afraid that he is too sensible, and she must know that Huiji will be hurt, lest he will be hurt in the end.
Li Ziyu looked at the two brothers who were studying seriously at the table and shook her head secretly. Let them be, they are also anxious to change the situation at home. Through the turmoil of selling puppets at home and the experience of Li Luo's mother and daughter some time ago, they may realize that only by being angry and participating in the imperial examination is the only way out for the family to change the status quo, so they will seize all the time to study.
To be honest, as the men in the family, they also have the responsibility to support the family. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and it is easy to say, but only those who have experienced this process can know what it tastes like.
Li Ziyu tilted her head and looked for a place to hide the money, not to mention, it really made her find a place. Her house is a T-shaped mud and straw house, and there is a thick beam on the top, and if something is stuffed between the beam and the rafters, you can't really see it if you don't pay attention to it.
Li Ziyu didn't say anything. When the evening came, when her siblings were asleep, she stepped on the bench and went to the table, wrapped the 1,000 taels of silver in a piece of yellow cloth, and stuffed them into the gap between the beams and rafters near the east wall. The Cunning Rabbit still has three holes, and she can't store the silver ticket in one place. It is also a preparation for future emergencies. This money, she is not ready to move. When you really need it, take it out. One thousand taels, in this dynasty, as long as you are not too loser, you can provide a family with food and drink for almost ten years, which can be regarded as a guarantee for your younger siblings.
