Chapter Sixty-Eight: Get by and Get By
Wen Chunyi has always felt that Wen Ruiyi is the proud daughter of heaven in her eyes, outstanding in everything, and extremely favored in Wenfu. Wen Suyi, it was just a bright and dazzling flower in the beautifully decorated adobe, and she was a well-educated flower in the golden jade billet. In the same year, the two flowers of Wenfu, one into the family's famous family, and the other will fall into the family of cultivating and reading.
The flowers bloom beautifully, and if they move places, can they continue to be beautiful? Right now, Wen Suyi went back to her parents' house twice, and she looked extraordinarily flamboyant and beautiful, far better than Wen Ruiyi, who was waiting to marry in the house. When Wen Suyi returned to her parents' house, she had to make a big noise, as if she was afraid that no one would know that she had returned home. Her aunt followed the vigor, and recently the big kitchen was in accordance with the usual rules, three dishes and one soup, and the aunt could still pick out the strengths and weaknesses from them, and the second lady Wen, who was so angry, jumped to her feet. Second Mrs. Wen took care of the big kitchen, and allowed each room to open a small kitchen, she had a small account inside, and her heart was much calmer, so she didn't bother with an aunt.
Wen Chunyi only felt like listening to a play, looking forward to Wen Suyi coming to Wenfu from time to time to take a turn, and mixing this pool of water a little more, so that no one would have the leisure to watch the movements of the four rooms. Wen Xueyi is the most well-informed person in the fourth room, she often talks to the Jin family about the movements in the Wen Mansion, and the Jin family often smiles coldly after hearing it, and says: "The eldest lady works hard, while she is young and beautiful, she can still jump for two years, and her aunt can dance for two years." After that, even if the eldest lady didn't mind her, the second lady wouldn't bear her to continue to stir things up. Of the people who volunteered to be aunts, a few of them were really smart people.
My aunt said that to be an aunt is to put a knife into the hand of the master. Unless the housewife is a rare coward, in general. The aunt is even cheaper than the slave. "There is no aunt in the fourth room, but there is an aunt in the other room. What's more, Wen Chaoqing's biological mother is an aunt. Wen Chunyi from Jin's words. I heard that Aunt Qiao of the Jin family had a hard time back then, so she had to take the road of her aunt. No wonder in Kim's tone, when mentioning Mrs. Kim, there is always a feeling of indescribability. Wen Xueyi reminded in a low voice: "Mother, I heard that the eldest sister who dotes on her very much and broke up the family room for her.
Now the rumors of the Wang family say that the eldest sister is very favored by the family. Kim smiled mockingly and said, "You should listen to the joke." A man from a family like the Wang family. The family style is worse than that of the men in the Golden Mansion. Your eldest brother-in-law, who came and went freely among the women at a young age, expelled the room and curried favor with your eldest sister. When your eldest sister is pregnant, he will have a beautiful roof again. Jin and Wen Xueyi avoided Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun from talking, but the two little ones were obviously listening to them curiously by doing things.
Wen Ruiyi has often come to ask the Kim family for embroidery tricks recently. Mrs. Wen occasionally came along. Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun often avoid going to the backyard to play under the hint of the Kim family. Jin's about because of Wen Suyi's matter, when facing her eldest daughter, she had another thought. I'm afraid that my daughter is young. Shallow knowledge, easy to be blinded by the prosperity on the face. She took advantage of the family affairs of Wen Suyi and Wen Ruiyi's sisters, but wanted to say more things. She raised her eyes to look at the Wen Chunyi sisters and brothers who were lying there reading the picture book. opened his mouth and said, "Xueyi, someone like your eldest aunt." She and her sister-in-law carefully selected the son-in-law for your second sister, how could they be worse than the eldest lady and her aunt who were selected together. A woman from a family. originally had knowledge, not to mention that they had been in charge for many years.
Compared to the concubines like us who have been locked up for many years, they can see through some things early. The second lady is their cherished child, and they really love her, so they chose a family affair for her to look at and marry. I heard your aunt say that the family is mediocre and the heirs are not prosperous, but the strange thing is that the men do not value women, and they don't even bother to use the excuse of taking concubines for their heirs. This is the reason why your aunt insists on fulfilling this family affair despite everything, and she has done her best for her daughter's happiness. ”
After Wen Xueyi was surprised, she said with an envious expression: "The second sister is not the kind of flashy person, she will definitely be able to live a good life if she marries the second brother-in-law." The eldest brother and sister-in-law are not stingy people, and they will not make the second sister's life difficult. Jin looked at Wen Xueyi with a smile and said: "The Yang family's family background is as bad as the eldest lady said, at most, I don't like to use people in the family, and I ask your second sister to marry and serve people around you, not too much, it is best to be a powerful person." I heard your aunt say that the gifts sent by the Yang family are all thoughtful and practical things. ”
Wen Xueyi was surprised, there were six girls around Wen Ruiyi, and none of them were powerful people. There were four servant women in the courtyard, and they also had no strength to look at it. Jin smiled at Wen Xueyi and whispered, "Why do you think your second sister likes to come to us, she is here to learn to get used to the fact that there is no one around to serve." "There are several rooms in Wenfu, and there are only four rooms, and they don't like servants and girls waiting in the room, and they are used to doing things by themselves. Even the kitchen matter, the Jin family has to take Wen Xueyi to get started, even if the jokes in other rooms are shabby, Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family have never changed their actions.
After Wen Chunyi heard what the Jin mother and daughter said, she didn't have the heart to listen. Whether it is Wen Suyi or Wen Ruiyi, they are cousins in the next room, with a big age difference, few opportunities to get along, and no chance to establish any strong sisterhood. Wen Chunyi took Wen Xiujun to the backyard to pour water and pick vegetables. The dishes in the backyard can already be tasted quickly. The two siblings went to the edge of the vegetable field, picked the vegetables they thought were edible, and put them in the bamboo basket. The servant woman watched them pick the vegetables, and when she felt that they had enough, she would come up to stop them, and the siblings would stop.
With the help of the servant woman, Wen Chunyi's sister and brother poured water on a few vegetable patches, and the two sisters and brothers walked back with bamboo baskets. Sanya and Siya followed behind with an uneasy look on their faces, and whispered, "Miss, young master, let's pick up the dishes." Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun dragged the bamboo basket forward, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention to these two people. The two servant women looked at the two of them from behind, and shook their heads lightly, no young lady and young master are as self-reliant as these two, they can do everything by themselves, and they will never work other people's hands.
Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun wanted to go to see the herbs planted in the flower bed, so they handed over the bamboo basket to the hands of Sanya and Siya. Wen Xiujun also greeted again and again: "You send the dishes to the kitchen, you have to be careful all the way, and you must not miss a single dish." Sanya and Siya nodded vigorously, and the two of them worked together to carry the dishes and slowly move away. The two servant women looked at the uneasy Wen Chunyi sister and brother with some amusement, and the third and fourth girls at least lifted the bamboo basket, but the pair of sisters and brothers dragged the bamboo basket away. The herbs planted in the flower beds grow extremely slowly, and if you want to say that the vegetables are growing inch by inch, then the herbs are growing point by point.
After Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun saw the herbs, they slowly turned to the front. As children, the biggest thing they do all day and night is to go to the backyard to take care of the vegetable patch. Originally, they also took care of the herbs in the flower beds, but Wen Chaoqing said that the herbs that they took care of carefully were far less effective than the wild herbs, so they still took care of the herbs less. This pair of young brothers had to give up the beautiful desire to pull out the seedlings and grow themselves in the flower beds by the herbs. What is reality used for? It is constantly to sharpen people's hearts, and after Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun's small disappointment, new hope was born.
The siblings unanimously decided that next year they would not plant this kind of herb that was not appreciated, even if it was a small bush type of medicinal tree, and wait for it to grow year after year, and a few years later, every year in autumn, the flowers could be used in medicine, which was better than planting such a herb that was dying in a hurry. This herb grows slowly, and when the buds are a dozen in autumn, they must be harvested and dried quickly. It doesn't even give people a closer look at the appearance of the flowers, which makes the two little ones even more out of the mood. Wen Chunyi had a smooth ride in his previous life, and he was the kind of person who would reap what he had to gain. In this life, it is smooth and smooth in the fourth room, but I can't stand this kind of wordless grievance.
Wen Xiujun is young, he likes the joy of opening and closing, he still doesn't feel anything, he doesn't mind if he can't see the flowers, he doesn't mind if he can sell herbs for silver taels to buy snacks and come back to eat. Wen Chaoqing appeased a pair of children with dim sum, and promised to sell medicinal herbs and buy them dim sum to eat. Wen Chunyi understood from Wen Chaoqing's face that the herbs planted in the flower beds are about too common, but I am afraid that the herbs that are dried after the most can't be exchanged for silver taels, and they are often used by doctors in the house, and others will think that the amount is too small.
Vegetable farmers and medicine farmers turned out to be so difficult to do. Reality has taught Wen Chunyi a vivid lesson, and the road to making a fortune is not so easy to follow. The vegetables in the backyard vegetable patch are only enough for their own families to eat, and at most, when they pick it for the first time, they pick some more and send it to each room to taste. Wen Chunyi thought about it and figured out some things, she couldn't be a professional embroiderer, she probably couldn't become a famous talented girl, and she didn't have the calculation to be a businessman. Wen Chunyi returned to the Jin family with a calm face, and Wen Xiujun was full of joy and talked to the Jin family and Wen Xueyi about the vegetables they had picked.
Jin and Wen Xueyi are used to Wen Chunyi's face being perineal for a while from time to time, and both of them feel that she is still young and there is no need to remind her for the time being, such emotional exposure is a taboo thing for women. Wen Chunyi thought about it again and again, thinking that in more than ten years, even if the uncle of the big house is not hindered, the brothers of the big house can stand up, and it is inevitable that there will be a person who refuses to go to school and walk the official career. And the reality of Sifang at that time was that Wen Xueyi was married, Wen Xiuyu was facing the matter of getting married, and she was about to face things like engagement, and Wen Xiuyu still needed to go to school.
Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family have such a harmonious relationship, it is inevitable that there will be a chance to add younger siblings in the family、、、、、、Wow, Wen Chunyi rarely thinks about the problem, thinking like this, but it forces himself to have a more sense of urgency. How to earn money without being eye-catching has become the top priority at present. Wen Chunyi deeply regretted that she had to get by in her previous life, no matter what she was learning, after learning the surface of the skin, she refused to spend a little more thought. Knowledge changes fate, and in her life, she can no longer waste her time. (To be continued......)
