Chapter 64: Tangrams

When Mrs. Deng went out, she happened to meet Mother Liu, who had just come back, followed by Da Niu and Da Shi. The big girl is carrying things in both hands, and the big stone is holding a big bamboo basket.

There are two days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and today Aunt Mei happened to go to the shop again, and Mother Liu was busy purchasing Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meals, as well as ingredients and supplies for the first few days of the New Year. A few days ago, Aunt Mei had already purchased most of them, and yesterday the two of them counted and summed it up, and Ji Lu added a little more, and Mother Liu bought it all.

Starting tomorrow, until the tenth day of the first lunar month, there will be no one to sell anything in the market, and few shops will be open.

Mrs. Deng glanced at Mother Liu, and was secretly surprised. Although Mother Liu was dressed simply, except for a hosta in her hair bun, she did not wear any gorgeous jewelry, but the natural bearing on her body was no less than that of those official wives in the Daimyo's Mansion City.

Deng Pozi was sold to a big family as a maid at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and the previous master was also a four-grade official in the capital. Later, the master's family committed an accident, and she was auctioned off as an official slave, and she met the Zhen family who sold her daughter and opened a restaurant to make a fortune.

Mrs. Zhen also wanted to learn from the model of the rich and noble officials, so she bought her family. The old lady has always been kind to her, and her suggestions are often adopted.

Mrs. Deng narrowed her eyes: Who is this person? Why will it be in the Xia family?

If Mother Liu was dressed richly, Mrs. Deng might guess which lady of the Xu Mansion she was? But......

The second girl ran over to take over the little burden in Liu's mother's hand: "Mother Liu is back?" The jujube soup is ready, I'll bring it to you. ”

Mother Liu smiled and handed over the baggage: "Okay." Big stones, big girls, you put your things away, and go wash your hands and drink some red date soup to warm your hearts and lungs. Big rock, don't forget to ask the big girl to bring back the dozen pieces of cloth and fur, yes, and snacks when you go back. That's the reward given to everyone by the young master and the girl. The names are written on the top, and the head of the village is divided among the families. ”

The big stone snorted and scratched his head happily: "Xie Lu Xie girl and the two young masters, Xie Lu Xie Liu's mother." "Since several of them, together with Zhuangzi, were bought by the Xia family, life has become more and more comfortable. The output of their Zhuangzi has always been very good, but the previous master is still not satisfied, it would be good to be less harsh on them, how can they treat them as kindly as these three little masters now?

The eldest young master also said that in the future, he will give everyone 10% of the income from Zhuangzi every year as a bonus for the New Year. In other words, the better the output on the Zhuangzi. The more dividends they can share, and now every household in the Zhuangzi is working hard, for fear of being told that they will be held back.

Mother Liu? Mrs. Deng remembered what Shu Yao said to Shu Wen just now, "Let Mother Liu see it." I'm going to say you're impatient again. ”

Haven't you heard that my cousin's family has a mother? Look at the frame that speaks, it has a lot of say in this courtyard. And the little maid named Erniu, and the two who came back with Liu's mother, are all newly bought servants? Also bought Zhuangzi? Looks like the cousin's family is having a good time. What's more, this mother doesn't know where it came from? Who got it? This kind of all-round style is not something that can be found in Ya Po casually!

With her by her cousin's side, can the old lady and the eldest lady still cooperate with the eldest lady of Murong Mansion to successfully calculate the cousin girl? An accident. Their Zhen family will be pushed out of the top bag, I heard that the golden tongue and Mrs. Weiyuan Houfu are very concerned about the three brothers and sisters of the cousin, otherwise Mrs. Murong would not hide from Murong Shangshu and Uncle Murong to plan this matter.

No, I still have to remind the old lady that her little grandson has just been a full moon, and she doesn't want the whole family to be auctioned off again. Mrs. Deng made up her mind. Hurriedly left with the little maid in Tsing Yi and rushed back to the Daimyo's Mansion.

Xia Shuqing, who was sitting in a chair, stood up and saluted Liu's mother. The action is beautiful and standard.

Mother Liu turned sideways to avoid it and smiled politely: "Miss Qing from Xia Mansion, right?" You are the sister of our sister, and you are a guest at the door, how can I accept Miss Qing's courtesy? The girl sat down with my sister, and I went to wash my hands. ”

Mother Liu took Shu Yao's empty bowl and left. Leave the second girl with you. The second girl is very smart and careful. The whole family's deeds are in the Xia family, train and train well, and follow the girl so that you won't cause bad things and trouble. Looking at the meaning of Jin Gongzi, he is going to take his children into Beijing after three years, even if he will not enter Beijing as soon as he gets off the service, if Shujie can be named on the gold list, he must bring his younger brothers and sisters with him. The capital is not as good as this Yulin Town, the girl's every move must be very careful, and she must take two smart and reliable personal maids with her wherever she goes. If the personal maid is not worried, it is easy to affect the reputation of the girl.

Shuqing has the heart to show her gentleness and politeness in front of Liu's mother, it would be best if she could make her like herself, at least leave a good image. It's a pity that she was disappointed to find that Liu's mother's smiling face was engraved with the words "respect and stay away".

Shuqing secretly clenched her fists to cheer herself up, there is nothing she can't do what she wants to do, in her previous life, which of her sisters-in-law and sister-in-law was not played by her between applause, until her brother-in-law ......

"Ade, bring me the gift I prepared for Sister Yao'er." Shuqing hid all her thoughts and commanded with a smile.

Ah Dai took out a blue brocade box from the small bag she was carrying and handed it over, Shuqing looked at Shu Yao and smiled: "Sister Yao'er, this is a gadget I inadvertently figured out, called 'Tangram Cards', for you and Wen'er to play." It's not valuable, but I made it myself. As he spoke, he opened the lid of the box, and inside was a square sheet, which should have been wrapped in a fine cotton cloth and stitched together.

But a whole square was cut into seven pieces: two large triangles, two small triangles, a medium-sized triangle, a small square, and a diamond, each of which was wrapped in a different color of cloth.

Shu Yao looked at Shu Qing strangely, what is this going to be used for? Although she is a child, she is also six years old, so she can't still hold on to colorful wood chips, right? Shuqing is kind enough, afraid that she will cut her hands and wrap them in cloth?

Shuqing smiled mysteriously, took the tangram card, put it on the surface of the box, and quickly put together a cute duckling. Shu Yao's eyes lit up, full of fun!

Shu Qing pursed her lips and continued to move the seven small plates, and a beautiful butterfly appeared in front of Shu Yao's eyes.

Seeing that Shu Yao's bright eyes were full of curiosity and interest, and even the sense of alienation that seemed to have formed an instinctive reaction was inadvertently diminished, and Shu Qing's heart was filled with a hint of pride.

There is no "tangram card" in this world, but in the Qing Dynasty in Shuqing's previous life, since the "Tangram Diagram" written by the "Yang Clumsy Layman" came out, the "Tangram card" began to be very popular.

Because of the ingenious design of the "tangram card", the changes are endless, both adults and children like it, many people can play so much that they forget to eat and forget to sleep.

At that time, Shuqing was very proud, because in the entire university scholar's mansion, no one played better than her, except for the man she had to call "brother-in-law". It was from that competition with her brother-in-law that she fell in love with her handsome and talented general brother-in-law, and embarked on the road of no return with one foot...... The most came to the Great Zhou.

Shuqing's eyes shrank slightly, her long curly eyelashes covered the stinging pain under her eyes, and she took out a large piece of folded paper with multiple layers from the bottom of the brocade box and unfolded it, drawing many drawings made of "tangram tiles". "Sister Yao'er, at the beginning, you can look at this picture, and in the future, you can try to imagine yourself, the more graphics you can spell, the more you will like it. If you want to see it, I'll draw some spellings in a while. I also made a set of 'tangram cards' for my aunt to take to the capital for my sister, and there will be a chance for a few of us to compete in the future. ”

Shu Yao was looking at the picture intently, and nodded unconsciously in response, which made Shu Qing extremely happy.

However, at the end of the point, Shu Qing will not be close to making friends with Shu Yao at this time. In her previous life, her Ama once said that managing the relationship between people and using the way of people is like flying a kite, the line is in your own hands, and the key is to know how to control the strength according to changes in the wind and other conditions: tighten, or, relax.

"Okay, Sister Yao'er, if you like it, it's fine. I'll be out for a while, it's time to go back and see you next time. Shuqing got up and said goodbye, and took a bag of oil paper from Lu's mother: "This is the hawthorn cake I learned to make with Lu's mother, eat greasy during the New Year, this hawthorn cake is just greasy, help digestion, my sister will take it and taste it, if you like it, I will make it next time and send some to you." ”

It's neither gold nor silver, it's not a valuable thing, and Shuqing keeps emphasizing that he did it himself, and it's really hard to excuse himself. Shu Yao thought about it and accepted it.

Shuqing didn't prepare to give Shu Yao a chance to refuse or "return the gift", so she only asked Shu Yao to say hello to Shujie, Shuwen, and Mother Liu on her behalf, and took Mother Lu and Adele out of the yard.

Look at the "Tangram Card", and then look at Shuqing's back, Shu Yao has a trace of doubt in his heart: this "Tangram Card" is undoubtedly a good thing, Xia Ruoxue brought a set back, and the capital should soon be "hot", and when everyone is eager to know more ways to play, Shuqing, who figured out this thing, will become famous.

However, in the previous life, why didn't Shuqing launch the "Tangram card"? Even if she is willing to let go of this opportunity, Xia Linyu and Zhou will not let it go.

In addition, as far as she knows, Shuqing hates going to the kitchen the most, she can't cook any food or snacks, and she doesn't want to learn. In other respects, she loves to disguise, only this aspect is particularly "honest". When Shu Yao saved Shuqing's dowry maid Qiaohe, Qiaohe said that Shuqing didn't want to hide this because she didn't want to stay in the kitchen for a moment, so she didn't even want to cheat.
