Chapter 8: It's Not Easy to Be a Woman (Part II)

A small bowl of green vegetable and tofu soup was naturally difficult to fill Su Yang'er's stomach in the past, but now although she still feels insufficient in her heart, this body is honestly not hungry, which makes her quite surprised, I really don't know how Su Yang'er developed this habit of life.

Xiao Ling has come back from the kitchen, and at this moment she is standing beside her inch according to Uncle Wang's instructions, Su Yang'er can't think of any topic to "talk awkwardly" with her for a while, but she feels bored, she doesn't know how to spend time in this era of lack of entertainment activities, and the daughter of a big family who has to stay at home all day.

She looked at the light snow outside the pavilion window, the white ground was very beautiful, and she started to stay again, this was the first day she crossed, after using the agitation method to force Uncle Wang to sell his property, it seemed that he had lost his life goal again.

"How can you spend this day, could it be that Su Yang'er was in a daze here before?"

After a long time, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked Xiaoling, "Aren't you tired of standing for so long?" ”

"Xiaoling is not tired, are you tired, lady?"

"Xiaoling, come and sit down." Su Yang'er patted the bench next to her, and said with a big sister look: "Xiaoling, let's go out and play, okay?" ”

She really wanted to go out and see the customs of the ancients, but she didn't have much hope for this, because she knew that Xiaoling was not so much her "little sister" as she was here to "keep an eye on", and her task was to stare at her.

"Get out?" After Xiao Ling heard this, she really shook her head and said: "No, lady, you forgot that I took you out last time, and the master punished me for not eating for two days, now... Now that the master is gone, I should be more optimistic about you. ”

"Well, that's true." Su Yang'er sighed in her heart when she heard this, she knew that this would be the result.

Seeing that Xiaoling couldn't count on it, Su Yang'er didn't want to embarrass her, after all, it stands to reason that she was still in the filial piety period, and she went out in this funeral suit, not to mention the scenery, it must not be in line with Su Yang'er's previous style.

"But it's not a way to stay up like this, and Uncle Wang doesn't know when he will come back."

Now what makes her most interested is naturally the situation of the Su family, which is related to how much capital she has in this era as a weak woman's quality of life, and the second is to understand what kind of woman Su Yang'er was before.

Let's take a look at the Tang family's humble shrew, who can make Su Yang'er helpless, and wash her face with tears all day long, it can be seen that she was cowardly in the past, and she is definitely cowardly, and she is definitely not a strong person.

Looking at the luxurious but simple furnishings in this boudoir, there is only a table, a chair, a bed, a makeup rack and a wooden cabinet, plus her favorite food is just ordinary green vegetable and tofu soup, and she seems to eat very little at every meal, which shows that she was not a extravagant person before.

"Worry-free about food and clothing, low-key, doesn't care much about the affairs of others, and is cowardly, and occasionally yearns for freedom and wants to go outside."

This is her summary of herself and Su Yang'er before her death.

Thinking of this, she asked again: "Xiaoling, how many people are there in our family right now?" ”

"Hmm..."Xiao Ling thought sideways for a while when she heard this, and then said: "Not counting Uncle Wang, if you don't count Uncle Wang, the second brother and Brother Yang Bao, there are four guys who are on the counter all the year round, and there are three who go home to help on weekdays, counting Xiao Ling... Well, there is... There are..."

Xiao Ling obviously hadn't read a book, let alone knew any arithmetic, so she actually asked her to pull up her little hands to calculate.

"There are eight." Seeing that she couldn't figure it out for a long time, Su Yang'er shook her head and smiled.

But after speaking, she couldn't help asking, "Why don't the little second brother and Brother Yang Bao count?" ”

She understood that an old steward like Uncle Wang could no longer be called a subordinate in the strict sense, especially after the death of Su's father, he seemed to have become the patriarch of the family, but she didn't expect that there would be exceptions in the house.

"The little second brother and Brother Yang Bao are the long-term workers invited by our family from outside, you haven't seen them, their cooking is delicious, the little second brother can cook northern food, Brother Yang Bao can cook southern food, the green vegetable and tofu soup you ate just now is made by the little second brother."

"Long worker?" Su Yang'er suddenly felt in her heart when she heard this: "It turns out that I am a part-time worker, and it is good to have a skill." ”

The so-called external long-term workers are just migrant workers who have not signed a deed of sale.

But in this way, she knew that it was not certain whether these two cooks were willing to move south with her, so she could only wait for Uncle Wang to come back and find an opportunity to keep it, and if she couldn't keep it, she could only do it.

Thinking of this, Su Yang'er had nothing to ask anymore, it was enough to understand this, and the "awkward chat" between the two ended here.

For a while, Su Yang'er was a little bored, she was a modern person who couldn't be idle, and it didn't take long for her to say, "Xiaoling, can you find me a few books?" ”

She imagined that she was so famous outside, it should also have a lot of connotation, maybe she was still a talented girl.

"Books?" Xiao Ling was stunned when she heard this, and said: "The master's books have been buried with his old man, and there are no books at home now, what do you want books for?" ”

Reality once again ruthlessly shattered her illusions, it seems that she is not a talented woman, she only blames herself for watching too many TV series, and only thinks that her fame will be linked to her fame.

It is understandable for her to think so, there is no shortage of amazing and glamorous women in history, but what she doesn't know is that most of these women have a common identity, that is, "prostitutes in Qinglou".

In ancient times, Qinglou was not only a place for men to solve their physical needs, but some people even looked for psychological comfort there.

It is said that "in ancient times, talented women were born in the land of wind and moon".

Su Yang'er is naturally not a Fengyue woman, and she doesn't seem to have much interest in reading before her death.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Ling seemed to see Su Yang'er's boredom, and said, "Little lady, are you lonely and want to find something to do?" ”

In the end, it was the personal maid who had been with her for many years, Su Yang'er nodded hurriedly: "Well, is there anything that can be done?" ”

"That's... Then you can finish the handkerchief that you didn't embroider before, that lady. ”

"Embroidery!" Hearing this, Su Yang'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "I... I'm tired today, and I don't want to embroider. ”

"What are you kidding, let me embroider, I don't even know which tip of the needle is." Su Yang'er secretly slandered herself.

"Then can you help Ling'er fill in a sachet, Ling'er has poor stitches."

"What the hell is filling sachets!" For this kind of thing that she had never heard of, Su Yang'er immediately refused: "My eyes hurt a little and I can't see clearly, let's change the day." ”

Seeing that she couldn't do this, that didn't work, Xiaoling said helplessly: "Then you better wash and sleep." ”

"Wash and sleep?" Su Yang'er was obviously stunned when she heard this, and then couldn't help but wonder, she didn't expect this word to appear so early.

However, the word "washing" inspired her and gave her a bold idea.

She still hasn't had a "thorough" understanding of her body!

"Ling'er, I want to take a bath."

"Okay, I'll go and have them fill the bathroom for you."

"Bathroom?" Before Su Yang'er came back to her senses, Xiao Ling had already gotten up and left.

"Is there a private swimming pool, isn't it like the big barrel in the TV series?"

Su Yang'er was secretly puzzled, and faintly looked forward to it, because she was about to "deeply explore" her "familiar and unfamiliar" body.
