Chapter 48, the Zhao family sisters
After Zhao Dasheng's family left, Zeng Rong took Zeng Hua to clean up his things, and the two began to cook dinner, which was the first meal that the two sisters settled down to cook, Zeng Rong had a little extravagance, and bought a piece of sauce meat from the best five-spice house in the capital, which was the taste she liked more in her previous life, and it was a bit long-avoided.
Reasoning, even if Zhao Dasheng's family is not invited to this meal, a piece of sauce meat should be sent to invite others to taste, but because of the grievances of the previous life, Zeng Rong stopped thinking about it.
Because she understands that no matter whether she pleases this Mother Zhao or not, Mother Zhao will not treat her well.
After the meal, because it was not yet the time to hold the lamp, and the food was a little supportive, Zeng Rong pulled Zeng Hua to walk in the yard, the yard is not big, but it is quite square, it is rare that there is a persimmon tree in the middle of the yard, there is a swing frame under the tree, and there is a small flower garden against the well, which has a cluster of flowers blooming in the moon.
Zeng Rong pulled Zeng Hua around the yard, lingered in front of the moon flowers for a while, introduced the varieties and quality of these flowers to Zeng Hua, and then pushed her to the swing, "Ah Hua, you haven't swinged, have you?" Come on, I'll push you. ”
"No, eldest sister, is this appropriate?" Zeng Hua timidly glanced at the upper room.
"It should be fine, it's not to rob them." Zeng Rong reassured.
In fact, she was afraid that Zeng Hua would be homesick and that she would not have a sense of stability, so she specially coaxed her to play, just like Xu Jing in the previous life coaxed her.
Who knew that Zeng Hua was about to sit up, and the two sisters, Chun Tao and Chun Xing, came out hand in hand.
"Sister Ah Rong, I heard my mother say that you bought a bunch of books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and said that you wanted to teach Sister Ah Hua to read and write, is it true? Can you teach us two sisters by the way? Chun Tao walked in front of Zeng Rong with a smile, and Chun Xing pulled Zeng Hua and said that she was on the swing with her.
"I'm sorry, how can I have this ability, I only know a few words, I want to learn by myself, how dare I teach others?" Zeng Rong refused, and at the same time carefully looked at the girl in front of him.
She remembered that Chun Tao in the previous life finally became a first-class big girl next to Xu Jing, and was originally waiting to be taken in, therefore, after Wang Chuchu married in, she threw herself into Wang Chuchu, and the two joined forces to rectify her, wanting to get her out to marry, but Xu Jing was protected tightly, and Mrs. Xu spoke, so after Wang Chuchu became pregnant, Zeng Rong was soon raised as an aunt, and Chun Tao was let out by Xu Jing to marry, and she married a small guy next to him.
Later, Zeng Rong didn't know about Chun Tao's affairs, presumably he should be able to die well, after all, Xu Jing's affairs would not implicate the people around him.
But Chun Xing is not easy to say, she also became Xu Jing's sister Xu Jing's maid at the age of eight, and later married into the Feng family of Zhongyong Bo with Xu Jing, the Feng family had to stand on the side of the successor because of the relationship between the Xu family, and was finally implicated, Xu Jing's husband also went to prison, and it is unknown how it happened.
When Zeng Rongzheng was recalling the past, Chun Tao pushed her, "Sister Rong, what do you want?" ”
"It's nothing, I heard your mother say that you are two years younger than me, but the two of us are about the same height." Zeng Rong looked at the other party and said.
may not have been hungry since childhood, Chun Tao's height is indeed not much lower than Zeng Rong, and because there is no wind and sun, her complexion is much whiter and tenderer than Zeng Rong, but there is a point, her facial features are not as beautiful as Zeng Rong, mainly because the bridge of her nose is a little collapsed, and the distance between her eyes is a little wide.
Another point is that because Zhao's mother is too strict in teaching, the temperament of the two daughters is also a bit dull, and they are not lively, so they do not please Xu Jing.
Of course, this was a few years later, when the two sisters were not very old, and the nature of children was still there, otherwise, Chun Xing would not have taught her to speak Beijing dialect while pushing Zeng Hua on the swing.
Chun Tao was obviously not interested in this topic, and pushed Zeng Rong forward, "Let's go, go to your house and have a look, my mother said, you cleaned up the house, and let me study hard with you." ”
Speaking of which, plus Chun Tao pushed Zeng Rong forward again, Zeng Rong was not easy to refuse, besides, Chun Tao didn't give Zeng Rong a chance to refuse at all, because she soon let go of Zeng Rong and pushed the door in first.
There was still a little light in the room at that time, and when Zeng Rong looked for a flint and steel to light the lamp, Chun Tao had already stretched out his hand to the books on the kang table.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong was a little displeased, but she had nowhere to go for a while, so it was not good to turn her face with her, and Chun Tao also chattered to Zeng Rong if she had read all these books, whether she knew all the words in them, and whether she understood the allusions and meanings.
"I haven't read them all, I only recognize a few words, and I don't know if I can read them." Zeng Rong replied perfunctorily.
"Sister Ah Rong is a liar, right? If you don't know how to read, how can you buy so many books? Chun Tao sat on the edge of the kang, and then lay on the kang table, picked up the top of the "Three Character Classic" and looked at it.
Don't look at her young age, but she has been in the Xu family for two years, and her ability to observe words and emotions is definitely stronger than that of ordinary peers, and the reason why she directly pushed the door in and directly turned up Zeng Rong's things without waiting for the owner to greet her was to observe Zeng Rong's reaction.
It turned out that Zhao Dasheng's family saw that he couldn't find anything from Zeng Rong, so he sent his two daughters over, thinking that his peers would communicate better, and maybe he could ask something.
It's no wonder that she is so vigilant, no one can understand this matter, a village girl who has never been out dares to break into the capital, how can she still read and break words, and she is willing to spend so much silver taels to buy books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?
Also, a village girl who can't even eat enough to eat actually knows how to buy Korean paper to paste the windows, and she is willing to use it to paste the walls, not to mention, this house does look bright, clean, and elegant after she cleaned it up like this.
These mysteries are pressed in my heart, where can Zhao Dasheng's family rest assured?
So, she sent her two daughters over.
Chun Tao saw Zeng Rong's displeasure and Zeng Rong's tolerance, but she didn't want to restrain herself, because Zeng Rong hadn't answered her yet.
"Sister Ah Rong, tell me the truth, did you buy these books for the eldest son?"
"The eldest prince? How could you think that? Say, did someone teach you to ask, or did someone say something to you? Zeng Rong asked rhetorically.
She is more than enough to deal with a ten-year-old child.
No, Chun Tao was quickly stopped by her, and her face turned red, "How can there be, how can someone teach me?" It's me, it's what I want to ask. ”
Soon, Chun Tao found a reason for herself, saying that she heard what the maids around Xu Jing said, saying that Zeng Rong saved Xu Jing and followed him into the city, and Bacheng also wanted to come to Xu Jing's side to be a maid, so she asked curiously.
