In the blink of an eye, November, after the winter solstice, it was simply freezing. Lin Zhu didn't expect the weather to be so cold in ancient times, it was ten degrees colder than in his previous life.

It was too cold, and the vegetable garden was fine in winter.

The mother and daughter of Lin Zhu, the second lady of the vegetables, sat on the kang for most of the morning, the soil kang was very hot, and the kang hole was filled with cinders secretly sent by Dabao, which could be kept for several days.

The sun had risen, faintly without light, and Lin Zhu watched in surprise as a sewn strap was tied into a beautiful flower-shaped button in the hand of Cai Er Niangzi, and it was sewn on her clothes.

This thin mother's hand is too skillful, and I can't help but praise it several times.

Cai Er Niangzi was praised by her daughter and smiled faintly. Lifted the clothes and looked at them and said, "Zhu'er, they all say that 393 freezes and breaks the pot and rice, and 493 freezes and breaks the bricks." Mother look at that. It didn't take until thirty-nine and a half, and the rice in the pot was frozen. It's cold, people are lazy, and we're still on the kang when the sun dries our buttocks. ”

After speaking, he gestured his clothes on Lin Zhu's body and said, "Get up and try it." It's not that my mother said you, you'll be twelve years old after the New Year. It's time to learn how to do needlework. A few days ago, my mother saw the insoles made by Yun'er Duoer, embroidered handkerchiefs, and the needlework was very good. ”

Lin Zhu pouted and said, "Mother, don't tell me anything about needlework or needlework." My daughter can do anything, just don't let me do the needlework, I see the needle dizzy. ”

Cai Er Niangzi smiled dotingly, cut off a few threads on her clothes and said: "How can there be a daughter who doesn't do needlework, and she won't be scolded to death by her mother-in-law in the future, maybe even her mother will be scolded together." After the New Year, my mother will teach you. This blouse is worn during the Chinese New Year. There is also a skirt, which has already been cut by the mother, and will be done in the afternoon. ”

Lin Zhu stood on the kang, and Ren Cai Erniang put the water red printed cardigan on her body, which was very close-fitting. Her pale smiling face was colored, and her clear eyes were even clearer.

Cai Er Niangzi smiled proudly, took off her clothes and said proudly: "It's not that my mother is boasting, my mother's needlework is really unique." Our new clothes are comparable to the young lady of Shangyan Mansion. I really don't know what blessings we have accumulated in our previous lives, we met such a good neighbor as Young Master Jin, and the meeting gift was so valuable. My mother didn't know what to take to go back to her home. ”

The clothes were sent by Young Master Jin, there were three pieces, one for each member of the family of three, and it was said to be a meeting gift. It's all fine silk. Cai Erniang has lived for more than 30 years, and she has never worn clothes with such a good texture, and she has never touched it.

From that day on, how to return the gift was the most painstakingly meditative thing for her, and she talked about it every day.

It's no wonder that the family has an income of two taels a month, but the old witch Lin Zhang began to send people to supervise in turn before the day of the monthly payment. Cai Er Niangzi can't even see it.

And more than half of the monthly rations were taken away. There are also those things that Chef Zhu, Sister-in-law Cai's iron housekeeper sent as favors.

So there's nothing to do with it.

Lin Zhu sat back on the kang and felt that the bottom of his buttocks was hot, which was very comfortable.

Leaning on the windowsill and said, "Mother, this thing is human, do what you can." If he gives us something, we have to return it in equal amounts, and that's in exchange. In my daughter's opinion, we invited him to a meal, which was home-cooked. Didn't Young Master Jin say it, he just wanted to take care of it in the future. He also has only two masters, servants and servants. In the future, whenever they need us, we will do our best. ”

Lin Zhu's tone of voice was very similar to that of an adult, and Cai Erniangzi looked at her thin face and laughed: "My family Zhu'er has really grown up, so reasonable." ”

I heard Dabao's voice outside the door: "Second Uncle Cai, second aunt, are you there?" ”

Lin Zhu looked through the window, Da Bao stood outside the door with his hands in his hands, holding a bag of things in his squeaky nest, shivering from the cold.

Caiji in the next room said yes and walked out, saying, "Dabao, come into the house." It's cold outside. ”

Dabao shook his head and said, "Second Uncle Cai." My life is more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and there is a blessing to go to the house to warm up. I was ordered by my son to deliver clothes to Zhu'er. Childe said that he wanted Zhu'er to wear this dress and go with him to receive a guest from afar. ”

Caier was startled and hurriedly asked, "Dabao." What kind of guest does Childe want my family to go? You know, she hasn't seen much of the world. ”

Dabao said: "I don't know this either. Childe said. An important guest, he added. Zhu'er is now a descendant of the Yan Mansion. It's also his maid, which is written in the deed of sale. Second Uncle Cai rest assured. Childe won't bully Zhu'er. Isn't there still me? ”

Cai Er looked at Dabao's pair of thief eyes, and the fluffy mustache on his lips that looked a little pointed because of his small and thin skin, and laughed: "Yes, with Dabao, Uncle Cai Er can rest assured." ”

Then he shouted to the house: "Zhu'er, come out and change your clothes." Carefree Boy wants to take you to receive guests. ”

The tone of his voice was very proud, his daughter became the subordinate of the Yan Mansion, and she also had the opportunity to be the maid of the worry-free son, and she was taken by him to receive important guests, what a great honor.

Lin Zhu got off the kang, went outside to take the burden from Dabao's hand, and smiled at him.

Since the last collision, I know that Dabao grew up with her, and it can be said that there are no guesses. At that time, because she was stupid, Dabao helped her a lot. I always feel embarrassed to see him.

Dabao said very generously: "Zhu'er, go and change it on, this is the clothes of the big girl, only Mei Xin is in the house, and Mei Ke is qualified to wear it." ”

is so grand, let her dress so high-grade, what kind of guests are she going to receive.

She was a little strange and carried her baggage into the house, how could an important guest take such a stupid girl as her. It doesn't matter what she does with her big girl's clothes? The big girl knows it, like a mandarin duck, and she is almost the same as a young lady.

Open the baggage, a temporary new cotton shirt and pants, the cotton shirt is oblique and close-fitting, the hem is very long, the pants are also wide and long, and the trousers are embroidered with flowers. A pair of light-colored cotton embroidered shoes. There is also a long emerald bichia, and a moon-white dress. One step shakes.

The first time I really went to be a maid, it was still an important reception task.

Cai Er Niangzi hurriedly helped her daughter get dressed, although there were many clothes, but Lin Zhu was thin, and she didn't look clumsy at all, but the emerald color was very refreshing, making her look full of aura and very pretty.

Cai Er Niangzi was happy in her heart, untied her hair again, helped her pull her bun, and shook her steps.

Dabao was stunned and watched Lin Zhuqiao walk out, squeezing his small eyes.

Lin Zhu burst out laughing and said, "Brother Dabao, what's the matter, am I so beautiful?" Don't dare to admit it? ”

She just joked casually,

Dabao's face turned red, lowered his head and said, "It's good-looking, it's better than the lady in the house." “

She said immodestly, "That's nature." This girl has a good foundation. ”

I heard Lin Yun's yin and yang strange voice in my ears: "No shame, no irritability, no skin and no face, no matter how good-looking you are, it's just the life of a young lady." ”
