After the sky is clear, it will be almost the twenty-third day of the lunar month in a blink of an eye. According to folk customs, the twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, and the king of the stove will be sent to heaven on this day. The year was not finished until the twenty-third day of the first month. During this period, all the men did not do manual work, but only ate and drank and walked away from relatives. That is, he is only responsible for hanging out and doing social work.

The women generally don't do any needlework, but only walk around the stove.

Caiji stopped what he was doing, put all the broken planks into the idle house, and prepared to wait for the twenty-third day of the first month to pass before starting work.

He is going to report to the back kitchen of Yanfu first, and see if he wants to help kill pigs and turn intestines or something this year.

Only then did they put all the planks against the wall, put the carpentry tools into the house, and closed the door. I saw Jiu'er's happy little face poking in, facing him, bending a pair of good-looking slender eyes and laughing, and asked, "Second Uncle Lin, is Zhu'er there?" ”

Cai Er admires the eldest young master Jin Zhen very much, he is rich, knowledgeable and willing to help people, and his maids and servants are all good people.

Hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said: "Yes, Jiu'er girl, sit in the house, it's cold." ”

Although the sky is clear and the sun looks warm, it is dry and cold, and the snow is colder than the snow.

Jiu'er walked into the courtyard lightly and went straight to Lin Zhu's hut, she hadn't been here for a long time. ，

When I entered the house, I saw Lin Zhu sitting on the edge of the kang, lying on the window and looking out, and also took off his shoes and got on the kang. Leaned over to Lin Zhu and said, "Zhu'er, the young master has pulled new clothes for you, come and get them when it's dark." ”

Lin Zhu turned his face and said, "Sister Jiu'er, I'll come over at night." It's cold outside. I don't want to go down. ”

She is unwell today, she always feels cold, and she usually doesn't like the kang to be too hot, but she actually burns the kang today.

Jiu'er knew that it was her menstrual cycle, and said with a smile: "If you don't love it, you can sit on the kang, and it's okay anyway." Oh, by the way, did Jin Gongzi still come to you? ”

This is what the young master asked her to ask. Even if you live nearby, you can't monitor it every day. Young Master Jin Zhen was still a little worried in his heart, afraid that Jin Xiaoguang would use some despicable means to kill Lin Zhu, which was absolutely impossible.

Lin Zhu hurriedly said: "No, no, that golden boy is also talking nonsense for a while." Besides, I remembered to keep my distance from him. Seeing him is always moldy for eight lifetimes. Last time I went to that drunken fairy building, I kept all the rouge, gouache, jewelry, and clothes he prepared for me. Give it back to him when you have the chance. If he really doesn't want it, I'll give it to someone else. ”

These things are very valuable, and she put them all away in the wooden cabinet that Cai Er made for her.

She got up and showed these things to Jiu'er, confirming that she really hadn't moved.

Her mind is clear now. Young Master Jin Zhen is his relative. He had reminded her very solemnly. Be far away from Jin Xiaoguang.

Jiu'er looked down at the good rouge gouache and jewelry, and picked up the bracelet to take a look. It's really worth a lot.

Especially the clothes, the material is definitely at the tribute level.

Can do this to a maid,. It seems that she really has a heart, Jiu'er suddenly became worried in her heart, originally she thought that Jin Xiaoguang was just to help Yan Wuwu out of the siege, so she said casually.

Now it seems that it is not so simple.

She helped Lin Zhu put these things away very neatly, put them neatly, helped her take them and put them at the foot of the kang, and whispered: "Zhu'er, it seems that Jin Gongzi really has some intentions for you, you have to be careful, we are just a little girl, and people like Jin Gongzi can't afford to climb high." ”

Lin Zhu nodded fiercely and said, "Sister Jiu'er, I know this." Even if we can afford to climb high, we won't climb high. We have all been to Dingyuan, and with his father's squinting appearance, it is disgusting to think about it. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rats give birth to sons who will make holes. His father's virtue, where can his son go? ”

As he spoke, Jin Xiaoguang's deep and affectionate eyes inexplicably appeared in his heart, as well as his soft and cold-looking lips.

My heart also panicked.

How can you think of that lip, it's very evil.

Jiu'er heard her say this and put her mind at ease. The little county lord is really ice and snow smart, and some things don't need to be said too thoroughly. The two women were covered with quilts and muttering.

Cai Er Niang was busy going in and out outside, keeping her head down, and she didn't look at Cai Er who was standing under the eaves with her hands basking in the sun. When Nanaji saw her walk by, he didn't look at him.

The two are in a cold war these days.

Cai Er Niangzi felt aggrieved, and in order to fight for her father's coffin a few days ago, her mother-in-law cried. She is used to these things, but Cai Er didn't dare to let go of a fart from beginning to end, if it wasn't for her daughter, she didn't know how many scars would be added to her body.

These days, he only cares about breaking all the wood into planks, thin and thick, and digging out some wooden stalls. There is so much wood, he just didn't say whether to make it for his father.

In fact, it is secondary to her being wronged, and she can stand being beaten and scolded. She really wanted to use such fine wood to make wood for her father. Even Chef Zhu, the iron housekeeper, said that this pine material is difficult to buy with money, and he wants his father to work hard all his life. If she can lie in such a coffin in the future, she will be considered filial piety.

Whoever ignored the two of them, Lin Zhu leaned on the window and watched, feeling very uncomfortable for her mother, these days she is very firmly on her mother's side, and she doesn't pay much attention to her father.

She thought that even if Cai Er was wooden and brainless, she would react a little. When Lin Zhang's was crying that day, she and her mother saw that she was no longer targeted, so they all kept silent and went to work. I thought that she was crying by herself and was boring, and she got up in a gray way, but she didn't accompany her energetically, saying good things. This fueled Lin Zhang's arrogance. With the help of Caiji's almost pull-and-pull hug, she stood up. I was still beating and scolding Caier, and I couldn't stand it when I was tired. Only then did he scold and turn around. ，

Before leaving, I went to the kitchen to take away a few buckwheat cakes and a small pot of soy sauce.

This father is really stupid and filial, and the more he is like this, the more Lin Zhang's is excessive.

She looked outside for a while and said to Jiu'er, "Sister Jiu'er." My mother is so pathetic. In the future, if I look for my mother-in-law's family, I will definitely not look for a man like my father. , I can't protect my wife, it's really a nest. ”

Jiu'er smiled happily and said, "Zhu'er has protected herself and doesn't need a man." Besides, who dares to bully us, it's strange if I don't put him away. ”

In her opinion, Lin Zhu is not something that ordinary mother-in-law can bully, she is not a second lady, and she swallows her anger. 、

Lin Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Now I can protect myself." But in the future, it must be my husband. It can also be called my father-in-law to protect. Aren't women just asking men to hurt? If a big man can't even protect his own woman, then what kind of man is it! ”

"Zhu'er is so bold." Jiu'er was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth and scolded her: "My daughter's family, what kind of husband and wife." I'm not afraid of being laughed at. Also let the man protect you. ”

"What's this. Doesn't it mean that men should get married, and women should get married? I'll be in time for next year. Although it is said that the marriage event is not considered first, if there is a suitable one, it can also be considered. ”

Lin Zhu laughed while talking, and she was just talking and laughing with Jiu'er to make fun of her. There is really going to be considered. In her plan, she must marry after twenty. Although the maximum age for a woman to marry in this era is eighteen years old.

Jiu'er thought that she had grown up and began to think about her life's events.

smiled and said, "Zhu'er, when you grow up, you miss your husband." Tell me, what do you want to look for in the future? ”

Lin Zhu looked out the window and confirmed that his father and mother would not be able to hear him, and said, "Just find an ordinary person." A good person is a good person, as long as he can be good to my father and mother. ”

"Is that simple?" Jiu'er looked at her in disbelief.

Today, she came to set up the forest for the young master.

Lin Zhu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's as simple as that, as long as the person is good." ”：

"It doesn't matter what your family background is?" Jiu'er asked. "Don't think about it, I'm just a maid who grows vegetables, what qualifications do I have to consider what family background."

The two talked about it. Jiu'er looked outside and said, "Zhu'er, I should go back." Otherwise, the young master will be angry if he can't find me later. ”

After Jiu'er finished speaking, she quickly slipped off the kang, put on her shoes, and said to Lin Zhu: "Zhu'er, I'm leaving." I remember coming to get the fabric at night, because I couldn't put on new clothes when I was late. ”

Lin Zhu's mouth responded, watching her happily walk out of the gate of the vegetable garden. I feel a little sorry for her, what a good woman, but it's a pity that Young Master Jin Zhen is ambiguous with Sima Mingzhu.

Men, I still look at faces.

She also got off the kang and walked out of the house. Caier was still standing at the door, and when he saw her with a smiling face, he said, "Zhu'er." ”

Lin Zhuai ignored the hum and went to the kitchen.

Cai Er Niang was busy in the kitchen alone, just to get some dishes or something. She didn't dare to bring out the noodles that were ready to be steamed and fried with some oil cakes, for fear that Lin Zhang's would come over, and if she saw it, she would take it away with the basin.

I saw my daughter's small and delicate face come over, and said with a smile: "Mother, you're still angry." I think my father is pitiful, so you can spare him. He can't help it, don't worry, mother, I will definitely let my father make a coffin for my grandfather. ”

Cai Er Niangzi naturally believed in what her daughter said, and now in her heart, her daughter is the most capable and can do anything.

She said coquettishly like a little girl: "Zhu'er, look at your father's power, let him go around his mother, right?" Where did my mother dare to do anything to him. ”

In fact, she has always known in her heart that this man is honest and reliable, although her mother-in-law is powerful and domineering, but she can only be powerful herself, and she can't manipulate her own man.

Seeing that her attitude was relaxed, Lin Zhu whispered again: "Mother, you forgot." It's time for my dad to take this course of medicine again. I'm going to fry it, and when it's done, you can send it to him. ”

This course of treatment is over. According to Imperial Doctor Zhang, it's time to take a break.

The medicine three times a day is really disturbing, and the fragrance can only be kept for a quarter of an hour, and after that, it will become like medicine, and the second dish will resist.

Cai Er Niangzi had a smile in her eyes, but she said: "If he wants to eat, he will eat, and if he doesn't eat, forget it." Anyway, even if they give birth to a son, they will be from the Lin family. It's not our Hu family. ”

Without saying what was in his heart, Lin Zhu smiled and went to the kitchen. She knew that her mother didn't know how much she wanted to cure the two of them, and insisted on taking medicine every day. also worked with Lin Zhu to find a way to make Cai Er also take the medicine.

After decocting the medicine, she poured out a little bit of the remaining incense and put it in the decoction bowl. After a short while, the black, bubbling decoction turned into a bowl of clear water.

She took the water out and handed it to Cai Er's lady, and pouted at Cai Er's place. I quietly walked out of the vegetable garden, saw that it was still early, and walked around the vegetable garden.

Mom and dad love face, so it's better to leave them some private space.

Turning around, I saw Yan Wuwu coming from the direction of the town with Dabao from a distance.

She thought for a moment and greeted her.

Since Jin Xiaoguang said something like that last time, Yan Wuwu has never been to the vegetable garden, and Dabao has never appeared.

Looks like they're taking it seriously.

She didn't take it seriously, they did.

Yan Wuwu Dabao saw her, Yan Wuwu's footsteps slowed down, and he walked over, but he didn't see her continue to walk forward. It seems that he is going home.

Dabao also deliberately tilted his head to the side, as if she was air.

Why is a man's heart so narrow-minded, just such a little thing, it is so obvious. They can't ignore them if they ignore her. The majestic blueprint for making a fortune also needs their help.

She hurriedly gathered a flattering face, ran forward with broken steps, and asked sweetly: "Childe, have you worked hard, have you eaten?" ”

Yan Wuwu didn't seem to hear it, and continued to walk forward.

Ignore.

She continued to trot forward and continued to ask: "Childe, I haven't seen you in the past few days, are you very busy, if you are very busy, remember to pay attention to rest." ”

Still ignore it.

Really. I don't know what to be angry about. It's not what she said.

She slowed down and continued, "Childe, the mushrooms planted by the slave maid have grown, and although they don't look good, they taste good. When will Childe have time to taste and taste. If the son thinks it's good, my father said to send a little to the house for the old lady to taste. ”

Yan Wuwu didn't hear it, and seemed to go all the way forward. Dabao also tilted his head all the way, holding the shelf, and didn't even look at her......

"If you don't taste it, you won't taste it, what to drag!"

The two of them walked so fast that she couldn't catch up after chasing for a while. I had to slow down, turn around and walk back slowly.

A listless look. Hey, really, a woman chased after two big men with a shy face, chasing after her, and people ignored her.

Ignore it, ignore it, it's a cold day, let's go back to warm up first, and don't wait until the evening to go to Young Master Jin Zhen's house to get the fabric.

Anyway, let's talk about the New Year first.

Listlessly, he looked down at his toes and walked back slowly, and suddenly Yan Wuwu's cold voice came from above his head: "Didn't you invite your son to taste mushrooms, what else are you rubbing!" Is there gold under your feet? (To be continued......)
