Chapter 22: Earn some pocket money

This time, Mrs. Cao also came, and the Li family asked her to find out the news.

Mrs. Cao shook her head slightly: "This second lady Yu has a very tight mouth, and she doesn't seem to mean to marry her son, she just says that the Yu family has always been too quiet, and she should walk with each other, and don't mention anything else." ”

Li frowned: "Then what does Second Lady Yu mean?" ”

"Who knows, but the second son of Yu is always old." Mrs. Cao smiled, "Can you still not marry a wife?" ”

"Indeed." Li nodded, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Mrs. Cao praised Jiang Nianmei a few more words.

After all, Jiang Nianmei is outstanding in every aspect, and the probability of Mrs. Yu's second lady taking a fancy is very high, but it's a pity......

How long the Yu family can be prosperous, but it is difficult to say, the things in the court, the situation has changed abruptly, and no one can predict the ending.

Unless it's the smartest people.

But how many people are there in the world?

Mrs. Cao didn't know, so she was cautious about Mrs. Yu's selection of her daughter-in-law, and she didn't get too involved in it.

Jiang Sumei followed the group of people to walk slowly forward and enjoy the scenery of the Yu family.

Compared with the Cao family, this Yu family is much more quaint.

Hundreds of years of family, the courtyard here has witnessed too much history, although it is a little old, but such a sense of heaviness makes this place more noble, as if the years cannot be recovered.

Jiang Huamei sighed: "It's so good, no wonder the Yu family is so popular, third sister, look at that pavilion, how exquisite, flowing water on all sides, a passage stretches out in the middle, walk over, it seems that people are in the mist, it must be cool in summer." ”

Jiang Sumei agreed.

It can be seen that every place here has been created by skilled craftsmen, and it is extraordinary.

Jiang Rumei fell on Zuihou's face.

She was also very surprised in her heart, but she also learned from Jiang Nianmei and kept quiet.

In one blow after another, people always have to grow, Jiang Rumei has also grown, she knows that the usual ones can't help her win, she needs a good chance to win.

If she can't win, she won't make a move.

Therefore, learning skills from the enemy is the most effective.

Jiang Huamei looked behind her and said softly, "The fourth sister has really changed." ”

"Got smarter." The corners of Jiang Sumei's mouth twitched, "You also learn a little, although the old lady still likes you a lot, but I can't expect it in the future, if you want me to say, you are still better to the fifth sister, although the third aunt is a little marketable, but I think she is not too bad, at most she doesn't care about you, and she is not too harsh in other aspects?" ”

Jiang Huamei nodded: "It's okay, but I can't please her." ”

"Who wants you to please her, the fifth sister is not very cute, you are good to her, she must know, over time, the third aunt will also know your sincerity, she only has one daughter, you have to be patient." Jiang Sumei said bitterly.

Jiang Huamei pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed, but soon frowned again, and said strangely: "Why do I always listen to you!" ”

Jiang Sumeha laughed: "Naturally, it's because what I said makes sense, is it possible that I still force you?" ”

Jiang Huamei sighed: "No wonder grandfather likes you, you are really smart, but I can't do it, I just want to be happy in this life, just marry a good father-in-law, and don't ask for anything else." ”

This sounds a little sad, and the girl who has always been smug is not really heartless.

Her requirements are very low, but in this era, it may not be easy to achieve, Jiang Sumei felt sad, touched her head and said: "It must be possible, as long as you are obedient and don't make trouble, if I get better in the future, I will also help you." ”

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and their hands were tightly clasped together.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

The wives and girls gradually divided into two teams, one team went to the front Hualiu Hall to play leaf cards and chat about family life, and the other pair went to Jiangnanju.

As the name suggests, Jiangnan Residence is built according to the style of Jiangnan, with fine water and clear streams, small bridges winding, and full of gentleness.

The girls gathered in one place, chattering, feeding the fish, admiring the flowers, fighting the grass, anyway, they were all playing, and I don't know whose proposal was later, but they asked each of them to write a poem and write it down.

When Jiang Huamei heard this, her face became a little dry, and she pulled Jiang Sumei's sleeve and said, "What should I do, I won't!" ”

There are also a few girls next to me who are not very good at squirming and pinching.

Jiang Sumei thought for a while and took the initiative to ask: "Excuse me, what should I do if I can't?" ”

All the girls looked at it and chuckled a little.

Many of their families are scholarly families, and the girls have been nurtured since childhood, and they can write more or less, but individual families cannot be ruled out.

Yu Wenjun looked over and found that it was her, and smiled slightly: "Can't you just write about other people, I don't know how to do it anyway." ”

The girls were a little surprised.

This is obviously biased towards Jiang Sumei.

Jiang Sumei also thought the same way, and she smiled back at Yu Wenjun to show her gratitude.

This conversation surprised both Jiang Nianmei and Jiang Rumei at the same time.

You must know that Yu Wenjun is a very arrogant person, when she was in the Cao family, after Jiang Nianmei talked to her for a few words, she knew that this girl was not easy to get close to, she had always been self-reliant outside, so she didn't spend all her time to make friends, who would have thought that Yu Wenjun would relieve Jiang Sumei today, it was really too unexpected for her!

She couldn't help but think, why could Jiang Sumei get Yu Wenjun's kindness?

Don't......

I heard that Yu Wenjun listened to Mrs. Yu very much, could it be that Mrs. Yu expressed her good impression of Jiang Sumei? Otherwise, she couldn't have done this!

Thinking like this, Jiang Nianmei's heart was in turmoil.

As for Jiang Rumei, she hated the old lady even more, because when she went back to An Lubo's Mansion, she was still grounded and lost this rare opportunity, maybe Jiang Sumei had a good relationship with Miss Yu at that time.

And she herself, everything is one step behind others, all thanks to the old lady!

The girls generally sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Looking around at the surrounding scenery, it is quiet and elegant, it is indeed suitable for reciting poems, Jiang Sumei flattened the rice paper and lifted the pen.

Jiang Huamei came over at this time and said: "Third sister, you have to write well, your handwriting must be better than theirs, you don't need to hide it." ”

Jiang Sumei snorted: "You know again?" ”

Jiang Huamei did not hesitate: "Of course, didn't grandfather say that your handwriting is better than those talents, and ah, third sister, I just heard them say that I want to give it to the wives for judgment." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Sumei raised her eyebrows, and subconsciously glanced sideways at Jiang Nianmei.

As a result, she was looking this way.

The two looked at each other, and each other's hearts moved.

At this moment, the wives came to the ladies, saying that they should tell the girls to write well, and whose poems and calligraphy are the best in a while, and everyone in the wives should reward something!

Jiang Huamei clapped her hands and said, "Look, I'm not wrong, third sister, this is a good opportunity!" ”

There are more than a dozen wives today, and if she wins the first place in calligraphy, there will be many rewards.

Jiang Sumei was also a little moved.

Although her grandfather treated her well, I don't know if the man's heart is too rough, the old man only cares about her food, and doesn't care about other pocket flowers at all, to be honest, she is really poor, after lending Yu Chaoqing silver, she is even poorer, and she has no money to buy things she likes.

Jiang Sumei sighed and concentrated on writing poems.

She didn't want to show her talent in poetry, of course, that aspect was really mediocre, so she only copied the Tang Dynasty genius Li Bai's "Wine to the Moon".

The poet immortal Li Bai has it, she dares to write, but this time and space is full of strangeness, the history of the past is very different from the history she learned back then, that is, the next few hundred years seem to have deviated from the original track and become a different world that she is not familiar with.

As soon as she finished writing, Jiang Nianmei also came over, picked it up, and praised: "The third sister's calligraphy is really exquisite, I'm really ashamed of myself!" ”

Jiang Sumei smiled and said, "Where, just do your best." ”

"I still have to learn more from the third sister!" Jiang Nianmei praised her again, very sincerely.

She behaved calmly and generously, and everyone called her humble.

I have to say that Jiang Nianmei has her own human brilliance, her words and deeds outside can be said to be without the slightest flaw, no wonder her reputation is so good, Jiang Sumei also admires her in her heart.

It is not an easy task to do so.

After a while, all the poems they wrote were taken away by the mothers-in-law and sent to the wives.

Many of the wives are quite knowledgeable, and they pass on one by one, sometimes make some comments, and also take it as fun, and some wives who meet different opinions also argue one or two, which is very lively.

Before I knew it, half an hour later, the wives finally looked at it and chose two copies.

One is because the poetry is good, and the other is because the calligraphy is good.

In calligraphy, it is reasonable that Jiang Sumei was elected, and another poet haode is the third daughter of the Qin family, Qin Pingqiu, her father is the current secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Qin Shenlai, the Qin family has been scholarly for generations, and has edified their children and grandchildren.

Jiang Sumei took a look at it and was also amazed.

She really can be called a talented woman!

The wives were not stingy, and gave them all the things they had on their bodies or brought with them.

Jiang Sumei got a total of two pairs of jade bracelets, a pair of pearl earrings, a small bag of gold bills, a small bag of mini silver ingots, a string of gold bracelets carved with hollow begonia flowers, and a jade Ruyi hairpin.

Cui Yu's heart blossomed, but she didn't dare to show it too much, and she lost the girl's face.

Jiang Sumei will not show a sense of family, and only politely thank the wives.

Second Mrs. Yu looked at her behavior, nodded secretly, and thought, it's a pity that her parents died, otherwise she might not lose to the second girl of their Jiang family, so it seems that the Jiang family's tutor is really good.

She looked at Qin Pingqiu again and sighed slightly.

Qin Pingqiu, regardless of her family background or talent, is enough to match, but her appearance is really a little disappointing.

Although Mrs. Yu is not a person who judges people by her appearance, she also has her own bottom line, and although her future daughter-in-law does not need to be beautiful and moving, she cannot be too mediocre.

However, she still gave a Nanzhu red golden hairpin on her head to Miss Qin San.
