Chapter 6 Cherishing Spring
Hearing her name mentioned, Yindie finally retracted her mind and gathered to the conversation between You Shi and Jia Mu.
"Silver Butterfly? But this girl behind you? Jia Mu glanced at the people who followed behind You's family, she had seen the cheese, and the other one she hadn't seen was the silver butterfly.
"Yes, Ancestor."
It was another courtesy, Mother Jia just bowed slightly, for a maid, or a maid from Ning Guofu, she naturally didn't really care much.
In addition to talking to Jia's mother, most of You Shi's attention was on the youngest Xichun girl. It was a girl from her own house, and not long after she was born, she was carried to the old lady. She has always wanted to take people back, after all, it is always inappropriate to let others raise her master's own sister, and it is always inappropriate to let the girl live elsewhere for a long time, but Jia's mother has never let people go, and Xichun herself is unwilling to go back.
Seeing You Shi's performance, Mother Jia said lightly: "If the girl wants to go back to live for a few days, I won't stop her, but she is alone in that mansion, and she is still lonely." ”
When Xichun heard this, he subconsciously said: "I don't want to go back, I want to be here with my ancestor." ”
You Shi squeezed out a smile with some embarrassment: "Then forget it, Xichun is naturally good for the ancestor here." ”
Yindie looked at Xichun's child and found that when she heard the old ancestor's proposal, her face flashed with deep disgust. I don't know if it was Jia's mother, or the people around her who said some bad things about Dongfu, making a child disgusted with his own family.
"Alright. I'm tired too, so go back early. ”
"Yes, Ancestor."
In the three springs in the house, You and Qin Keqing all said goodbye and left the house.
After returning to Ningguo Mansion, after You Shi entered his courtyard, his face instantly became gloomy.
She has always felt that she still has some means, otherwise it would be impossible for her stepmother to enter Jiafu as a continuation of the string, complete the promotion of the class, and become an official wife from a people's daughter. However, it wasn't until he entered Jiafu that the You family found that there were too many bad things in the big family, and life was not as glamorous as it appeared on the outside. I don't have a husband's favor, no children and grandchildren, no father and brother to help me, and I don't have much money to spoil around. What you want to do is simply a mirror.
After a long time, she gradually learned to pretend to be stupid and clumsy, pretending to be deaf and dumb. Anyway, every day is full of food and clothing, and the life is much better than before.
It's just that she is also a human being, she will be lonely and lonely, and she will also have desires and selfishness from time to time. She has no children, and Xichun is only three or four years old now, if she can be taken to her side to raise, it is almost the same as raising a daughter.
However, neither Xichun herself nor the ancestor wanted her to come back. I also mentioned to the old man about taking Xichun back, but the old man's reaction was to ask her not to interfere.
At that time, his expression was cold and slightly complicated, as if it was not his own sister.
Yindie quietly watched You Shi's complexion change, and there were many doubts in her heart, this Jia Mansion didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.
"Silver Butterfly, fried beans, can you read?"
Hearing You Shi's question, Yindie hurriedly gathered her thoughts: "Back to grandma, the slave maid has not learned." ”
Fried Dou'er also shook his head: "The slave is illiterate." ”
You Shi didn't feel surprised, in this era, everyone may not know a few words, and if the two little girls are really literate, it will be unexpected.
"You can also learn a little more from Cheese later, at least you can read the account book."
"Yes, Grandma."
Silver butterfly and fried beans responded together.
"Grandma, in the shop on East Street today, last month's earnings were sent along with the accounts. Grandma, but you want to see it now? Hongguo'er walked into the room with a small box in her hand.
"The shopkeeper is here along?" You Shi took a sip of tea before asking slowly.
"Here, wait outside."
You Shi nodded: "Take it." ”
Cheese filled the teacup in front of You, and then glanced at the few people waiting in the room.
"Hongguo'er, you and Fried Beans should go back and rest first."
"I know Sister Cheese." Hongguo'er glanced at the silver butterfly, then at the fried beans, and then quietly exited the house.
Silver Butterfly couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and secretly moved her legs and feet, which were a little sore. I want to go back and rest!
In the morning, Yindie changed the tea several times and played a fan for a while under the supervision of the cheese. It wasn't until noon, after You Shi had eaten to rest, that Hongguo'er came over with fried beans and replaced her with the crisp cheese.
"Silver Butterfly, go to my house and eat. Just now, Hongguo'er took back our share as well. ”
Yindie nodded: "Sister Crispy Cheese and Sister Hongguo'er used to be like today?" ”
"Almost, unless grandma specifically calls, when there is nothing to do, we are all alone for half a day, and then one person is left to sleep in grandma's house at night. Also, most of the time I go out with my grandmother. lest the girl not cover her mouth and cause trouble. ”
Yindie nodded: "Since grandma is used to this, I and Fried Beans will be like this in the future." ”
"Well, it's okay in the afternoon, and after eating, I'll teach you some words. Grandma was sometimes too lazy to look at the account books, and would let us look at them against the previous months. If there is a big discrepancy, see for yourself. ”
In the afternoon, Crispy Cheese sat in the courtyard and played a tie. Silver Butterfly looked at the ledger in her hand, which she didn't know where Cheese had found. There are still a few missing pages in the middle, but it's good as a 'textbook'.
In his previous life, Chen Xi naturally underwent nine years of compulsory education, although he didn't say how talented he was, there was no problem with basic reading and writing. But that's a simplified print! The characters here, the font is not the same, because they are all handwritten, the size is different, some are neat, some are just a casual drawing, and it is even more difficult to read.
"Ten, what, profit, city." Silver Butterfly read it with a guess.
Crisp cheese listened to what she was reading, her hand shook, and the freshly wrapped silk thread slipped out again, she simply put down the yarn in her hand, and looked over to look at the booklet in Yindie's hand, and then a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes: "I didn't expect Sister Yindie to still recognize a few words, and this is written in Sixteen Profit City, which means sixteen taels from trading." ”
Silver Butterfly nodded, secretly keeping in mind that the profit market equals income. Then I watched it two more times, the six that I didn't recognize, and then continued to look down.
"Didn't my sister say that she hadn't studied? I've seen you know a lot. Butter looked at Silver Butterfly with some suspicion.
