"How could there be such a miracle?" Jiu Niang's face showed an unbelievable look, but she was also very curious, and the emergence of this somewhat contradictory relationship was related to the fact that she was also a woman.
If she has the opportunity, she is also a person who can be a mother, so it is natural that she has a high desire to explore this piece of knowledge. And those unheard theories, if they were talked about by an ordinary woman in the course of chatter, she might not have such a deep idea when she heard it, but when this strange thing came out of Lin Shan's mouth, she naturally believed it a little, regardless of whether it was confirmed or not.
"The first time I heard this from Oyeko, I didn't believe it. But whether she listened to it with her children or just wanted to hear it, I told her a lot of novel stories in those days so that she wouldn't get bored when she couldn't move around. ”
When Lin Shan said this, he grabbed his hair with the hand that was pillowing his head, and then said: "Ye'er's child was sent to Lizheng Academy by me when she was five years old, and the words and etiquette are being learned as usual, but the more words she knows, the books she reads are still biased towards the travelogue codex, and I think this may really be related to the theory that Da Yezi said. ”
"I said that the kid is dressed in ink, and he is learning more and more like you, it turns out that you sent it to Lizheng." Jiu Niang sighed, and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will really teach her to be a tomboy?" If her personality can't be changed, what will she do in the future? ”
"I can't blame it all for teaching things this way."
Lin Shan sat up from the soft collapse, stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, dispelling the sleepiness that had gathered in his brain just now because he was lying down, and said slowly: "She has already made the matter of being discharged from the hospital when she is about to turn five years old. The little courtyard couldn't shut her anymore. She looks like this, how can I rest assured that I will send her to a female student in a small county town to learn needlework? The things that the female students teach are also learned by the young lady, how much can she use after learning? Maybe when she goes to the girls' school, all she really learns is how to climb over the wall of the women's college, which is a little higher than the courtyard wall of her home. ”
"Although the paths that boys and girls will take when they grow up are completely different, the path that Ye'er will take in the future may be different from ordinary girls, and increase her knowledge. Maybe it's better than asking her to embroider a few more pieces of cloth. And if she is in the academy, I can take care of it nearby. As for the question you are worried about, don't forget, no matter how much Ye'er learns more about boys, she will still be a girl. The foundation is established in the source, and even if there is a slight change, it is easy to change back. ”
Jiu Niang looked at Lin Shan. He moved his lips at first, but made no sound. After hesitating for a moment, she said something a little sour: "When will you give me some of the kind of care that you have given her?" Even if it's just one ...... But you gave her all ten. It's really hateful and can't make up my mind. ”
The word "she" in Jiu Niang's words, judging from the table, should refer to Mo Ye. However, at this time, if there was another girl in the building in this room who knew some of Lin Shan's past affairs, it would not be difficult for her to figure out another meaning of "she" that Jiu Niang said.
And this kind of specious reference, how could Lin Shan himself not feel it?
After hearing this, Lin Shan's calm eyes fluttered slightly. But he didn't say anything, and slowly lowered his eyes to avoid looking at the expression on Jiu Niang's face at this time. That's when it happened. His gaze inadvertently paused for a few breaths on the long flat box leaning against the couch, and then he remembered that there was another thing in the building.
"Actually, I came back this time to bring you a gift, but I kept talking about other things just now, and I almost forgot about it."
Lin Shan got up and carried the box to the desk opposite, took off the rope that tied the box, turned it over, groped his fingers on the edge of the box, and then unloaded the board on the back of the box with a force of his fingers.
If Mo Ye was allowed to see this scene, she would definitely be surprised by this discovery that she didn't know yet - the box was actually opened on both sides.
When the lid of the box was opened, I saw a five-stringed instrument lying in the slot, but although the instrument was intact, the five strings on the body were obviously relaxed.
Lin Shan took the piano out of the box and put it aside on the table. Jiu Niang had already approached, she saw the piano on the table, and said in a lost voice: "This ...... Isn't this the piano you played badly in the county? ”
"That's it." Lin Shan nodded, and while he put the back cover of the box back, he said warmly: "That year, I wrote a letter to ask you to go out of Beijing and come to the county seat to help me, and you didn't hesitate to come, but you still arrived in the county alone, and you only brought a five-stringed piano with you." Later, the music you played with this piano won the red name in the flower building, and I know that you are doing it to help me, so I have to fix it and return it to you anyway. ”
A happy smile appeared on Jiu Niang's face, but after she reached out and hooked the loose and bent strings, she said with an embarrassed face: "Will you tune this?" With this kind of old piano, it is difficult to tune the strings. ”
"Have you forgotten what I'm good at?"
After Lin Shan put the box cover back, he turned the box over again, opened the front box cover, and then he raised a hand to Jiu Niang, volleyed his rootless fingers in the air, and said with a smile: "My hands are not gentle enough to play the piano, but it is no big problem to tighten a few loose strings." You, the person who is most familiar with it, are in charge of listening to it, and when I set out with it, I decided to tune it for you myself as a sign of my sincerity. ”
"Thank you." Jiu Niang smiled, these two words were almost squeezed out of her heart, not simply by the sound of her lips and teeth. It's just that when these two words came from the heart, Jiu Niang faintly felt that there was a place in her heart that was more empty.
……
Mo Ye sat in Shiso's room, and during the time she waited for the kitchen to prepare the hot wontons and deliver them, she chatted with Shisu about a lot of things.
The conversation box between the two was opened, and the content of the exchange was naturally much richer than just now, but Mo Ye had been honed by the study and life of a woman disguised as a man in the academy for five years, and her true mental growth could no longer be measured by her superficial age. Therefore, when Mo Ye was able to deduce that Zisu and other women in the building might have a very close relationship with their parents and elders, the topic she talked about with Zisu was still very shallow and did not involve that part of the doubts.
Despite this, after chatting about tea time, Mo Ye still gained a lot of information.
For example, the deceased Oiran, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the red card of the Qinglou, but she is actually one of the "Liangyi" of the Dongfeng Building, which is equivalent to the deputy level of the sovereign in the building. The deputy level in the Dongfeng Building does not care about the usual affairs, but is only a position where he can enjoy the highest treatment in the building, and the bamboo building in the backyard pool is specially built for him.
In addition to the "two instruments", there are also "four images" and "seven colors". The affairs in the building are divided into four areas, which are managed by the woman in the position of the "four elephants", and Zi Su only mentioned the details of this arrangement to Mo Ye slightly, because Mo Ye, who was talking about this, had already fallen into a kind of confusion on the issue of distinguishing the "seven colors".
According to Shiso's introduction, the seven women in the "Seven Colors" have their own unique skills, and she is the seventh of the "Seven Colors". And the first six have something in common with her title, that is, in the first word of the flower name, the identity will be pointed out. Take her as an example, red, orange, red, green, blue, purple, she is in the last place, so the first word of the flower name is "purple".
Listening to Zi Su talk about this step, although Mo Ye finally barely remembered the flower names of the other six, and was not confident that if she saw the group of flower-like women just now, she would be able to accurately call out their respective flower names, but Mo Ye was most surprised at this time that the location of the Qinglou, which was not clear in her impression, could be so clearly divided inside, and each woman in the building still had their own characteristics, not just a few foxy kung fu, they each had their own skills and did not interfere with each other, if they danced in the same room, Isn't it the most beautiful?
Thinking of this, Mo Ye couldn't help but think of her master's purpose of taking such pains to build this building, or actually co-building this building with others.
It seems that the master's arrangement is not as he thought just now, pushing a group of beautiful-looking women into the fire pit, and the significance of this flower building standing on the ground cannot be measured with the eyes of the green building.
Mo Ye thought secretly in his heart, and suddenly thought of the four words written in the gorgeous plaque on the gate of Dongfeng Tower.
Zi Su looked at Mo Ye's contemplative appearance, thinking that she was still struggling with the matter of "seven colors", so she smiled and said: "Actually, the seven colors can be distinguished by the color of their clothes, but as you said, they don't wear clothes according to this law all the time, so this method of identifying identity is only suitable for guests who come to the building for recreation, if you really want to separate them, the most accurate way is to look at a wooden hairpin on their heads." ”
Zi Su said and stretched out his finger to the end of his hair, and then continued: "No matter how we change our seven colors, this hairpin will always be fixed. ”
Hearing this, Mo Ye temporarily accepted what he was thinking, and his eyes turned to the position of Zisu's finger, and sure enough, he saw the curly hairpin.
Shiso's hair is also strung with other jewelry, they are silver, the earrings worn on the earlobes are also decorated with precious stones, although the accessories worn by the girl in the Dongfeng Building are not precious, but they are all genuine, although the jewelry worn by Shiso is as simple as her temperament, but their quality is enough to easily compare the wooden lacquer hairpin in her hair.
Moreover, since Shiso's head is already wearing a hairpin of real gold and silver, wearing that wooden hairpin again can't help but make people feel a little abrupt and out of place.
Mo Ye was puzzled: "Why do you use wood to make zuò?" These seven-colored hairpins are stored for the purpose of separating identities, and they should be very important things, and wouldn't it be more permanent to use gold and silver to make zuò? ”。 (To be continued.)
