Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sisters
Ruohong glanced back at the pomegranate, this maid was quite calm, she never interjected, she didn't have the liveliness of a little girl, and she didn't like to talk and laugh like other girls.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Miss didn't ask me, what should I say?" Pomegranate said.
"Then how many sisters do I have, how many sisters, how many brothers?" Ruohong asked.
Dan Tang wanted to roll his eyes again, he asked once two days ago, how did he ask again today, even if he forgot it after sleeping for a long time, but he just said how he forgot it in a few days.
Pomegranate didn't question Ruohong's question, snapped her fingers, and said to Ruohong one by one, "In addition to the eldest lady, the young lady also has a second sister, and the second young lady is called the second wife, and she is the same age as the eldest lady, both of whom are fourteen years old." The eldest lady was born at the beginning of the year, and she was born at the end of the year.
The other ladies are younger than you.
The fourth lady's name is Ruofeng, she is eleven years old this year, and she was born to the third wife, one year younger than the young lady.
The fifth lady, Ruofei, was born to the second aunt, and she was also the only child born to the aunt in the house.
Sixth Miss Ruolan is the youngest, she is only four years old this year, and there is no one in the family who doesn't like her. ”
Pomegranate told several young ladies in the family like a few family treasures.
Dan Tang grabbed the pomegranate and said: "The eldest young master and the second young master are both older than you, Miss, the eldest young master is sixteen years old this year, and he was born to the second wife, and the second young master is thirteen years old, and he was born to the third wife."
The third young master was also born to the second wife at the age of seven, and the fourth young master was born to the third wife at the age of five. The young master and young lady in the mansion add up to just two hands. ”
As he spoke, Dan Tang burst out laughing.
Ruohong went through these people again in her heart, thinking about it is very interesting, there are two girls in each family, only the big house has no boys, I don't know if it is artificial, think about it and think it is unlikely, after all, there was no contraceptive pill in ancient times.
From the mouths of the two maids, she learned that her dead father had three aunts, but none of them gave birth to children. The second master has a concubine, who is Ruofei's mother. The third master has not accepted his aunt's concubine room, and there is no connecting room.
On November 16, Ruoxue and the others packed their bags and prepared to leave and go back to Jinling.
The repair of the Jade Void Temple is also nearing the end, and only some fine work in the temple remains, such as the decoration of the Sanqing statue, and the paintings on the walls and beams, which are all delicate work to be done by the masters.
It's also the most laborious job.
Ruoxue handed over all the follow-up wages to the viewer, and donated another five hundred taels of silver lamp oil money, and pulled Ruohong to Sanqing to bow three times.
Ruoxue saw her sister worshipping Sanqing with great piety, with a shallow smile on her lips.
She has also observed this sister for a few days, and judging from her demeanor, this sister is more sophisticated than her previous sister, and she is mature and stable not like a child.
Sometimes, Ruoxue thinks that Ruohong is older than her, maybe it's the age of that soul!
Ruohong refused to call her sister at first, and that's probably because of that.
After getting along in the past two days, Ruohong naturally called Sister Ruoxue a lot, also because Ruohong knew how good this sister was to her sister.
Ruoxue pulled Ruohong to stand in front of the gate of Yuxuguan, which had been built and had been transformed from the original one-and-a-half-foot double-open door to a two-and-a-half-foot-wide double-open gate.
The gatehouse is also more than five feet high, looking more magnificent, the door plaque is still the same as before, adding a wide-sided frame, and the view is still majestic and atmospheric.
"How much money did my sister spend this time?" Ruohong asked.
This is the first time she asked Ruoxue a question after she woke up, and Ruoxue didn't hide it from her, "Three thousand nine hundred taels." She said.
"So much!"
Ruohong's heart was weak, in order to wake her up, she actually used so much silver, and the dream of Red Mansions said that twenty taels of silver was enough for a medium-sized family for a year.
As soon as she came here, she owed a debt of four thousand taels of silver, how could she pay it off?
Ruohong has never been a selfish person, she is an aspiring young man in the new era, and she can't eat others, use others, and let people spend money without blushing.
Ruoxue saw that her expression was different, guessed what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "That silver is nothing, there are not many others at home, and this little silver can still be taken out." ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, donor, please stay."
Seeing that the old Taoist aunt led the two girls out, Ruoxue hurriedly walked into the door, bowed to her, and looked at the two girls.
Dressed in the clothes of ordinary people's homes, wearing an ink-colored cotton coat and coarse cotton shoes, he did not wear a hat on his head like before, but pulled two maiden buns, which looked much better.
Their beautiful big eyes, because of their martial arts training, are shining, and people can't take their eyes off it.
"Immortal Chief, do you have any other instructions?" Ruoxue blinked twice and looked at her with a smile, pretending not to know what to stop her.
The corners of the old Daogu's mouth trembled, and she said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, my two apprentices are not over, please take the little donor with you, and let them go to the earthly world to practice." The two of them know a little bit of martial arts, and the donor can stay by his side to be a guard or a maid, and ask the female donor to take him in. ”
Ruoxue said with a smile on the corners of her eyebrows: "In this way, I am too wronged by the two little masters." ”
"In the future, you will follow the little benefactor, you must respect the master, and you must listen to her in everything, but you can write it down." The old Dao Gu instructed them sternly, with a hint of warning in her words.
The two respectfully responded with a "Yes, we wrote it down." ”
"Don't meet the little benefactor yet." The old Dao Gu looked at the two girls and said.
The two little girls hurriedly leaned down and kowtowed to Ruoxue three times before they were helped up by Ruoxue.
He saluted the old Dao Gu again, turned around and walked behind Ruoxue and stood still.
"Immortal Chief, Ruoxue will leave it alone." Ruoxue blessed her again.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the little benefactor has a good journey here!" The old Taoist girl shook off the dust and saluted with one hand.
Jiading followed everyone, looking at the third miss who moved freely from a distance, he originally thought that the third miss would not be fine, but he didn't expect to hear that the third miss was okay today, and said that he was going back.
He didn't believe it at first, but he didn't believe it until he saw the third lady coming out after the eldest lady.
The family has been running down the mountain these days, buying all kinds of items, and they have forgotten why they came to Maoshan Mountain.
I only remembered it again today that he came out to find the eldest lady to go home.
Jia Ding should have been happy, but when he saw that the eldest lady was going down the mountain, a wave of loss surged in his heart for no reason.
Turning his head to look at the newly built gatehouse and the newly painted house, how much of it was the result of his traveling.
The family didn't want to go back to Jinling's home, and after he went back, he would be the one who cleaned and guarded the door in the front yard again.
Ruoxue took Ruohong and Lianxin, a few maids and servants, and a group of guards to leave Yuxuguan and walked down Maoshan Mountain.
The watchman sent them all the way down the mountain, said a few auspicious words for a smooth journey, and then stood by the side of the road and watched them get into the carriage.
"Uncle Zichen is back."
Lianxin was about to put down the curtain, when the two girls exclaimed, stopped the movements in her hand, she heard the eldest lady say that Zichen, and poked her head out curiously.
On the road in the distance, a dusty man walked by, dressed in an old blue-gray robe, indicating that she had been traveling for a long time.
The road may be in a hurry,
Ruoxue put down the curtains of the car, looked at the two and said, "Are you going to say goodbye?" ”
"Hmm." The two nodded together.
"Go ahead."
When the two got out of the car, Lianxin put down the curtain and asked, "Miss, do you want to meet that Zichen real person?" ”
Ruoxue shook her head, now that she and Zichen Zhenren have no intersection, it's better not to see each other.
What do you say?
It's hard to ask her why she didn't come back earlier and wake up her sister earlier, but she woke up her sister in her dream.
But since then, my sister has been stupid, Ruoxue didn't complain about her, but she went all the way, although she took some effort, she got an intact sister, and that was enough.
PS:
Ruoxue Fushen begged for comments and collected recommended votes, and gave Ruoxue a reward.
Ruoxue is going home. (smiley)
