Chapter 82: Dream Vision
Nianlan was coquettish, but it hit the old lady's heart. Such a joke made everyone in the room laugh.
The old lady pulled Nianlan with one hand, sat down on a chair on the side, and said with a smile:
"Is the family okay? Is your mother well? ”
Nianlan frowned lightly, looked left and right, Aunt Juan took two steps back, and everyone else also stepped back, all busy cleaning up. Nianlan squatted lightly beside her grandmother, looked up at her grandmother and said:
"Grandmother, something happened at home, and Daddy's business went wrong. Daddy didn't want you to know, but after thinking about it on the way here, I still have to tell you. ”
"Oh? What's going on? ”
The old lady had passed by a lot, and she didn't panic when she heard this, but asked hurriedly.
"We don't know exactly what's going on, we only know that our shopkeepers come to the house every day to block my father and ask my father to take money to buy goods. said that it was closed this year, and the business would not be able to continue without restocking. Daddy was so anxious that he couldn't help it, he said he had no money. Later, the fourth sister thought of a way to dye the white cloth in the warehouse and sell it. ”
"How old is she?"
The old lady frowned when she heard this, although she didn't hurt these granddaughters very much, but she also knew. The fourth child is only a few years old, seven or eight years old, what ideas can he come up with.
"Grandmother, don't underestimate the fourth sister. This time it's because she has a good idea. Dad decided to give it a try, mainly because the fourth sister's dyeing method is different from the others, and the dyed cloth is different. It's beautiful. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and shouted:
"Lily, bring me my new veil."
Lily handed over the spare handkerchief for the young lady. Nian Lan took the handkerchief and unfolded it to her grandmother and said:
"Look at it, this is dyed by the method of the fourth sister, and this flower is dyed directly, no need to embroider. Isn't it pretty? Dad is optimistic about this dyed cloth and is ready to use this to sell this New Year's goods this time. ”
"This color is beautiful, I haven't seen this color before? Chun Tao, can you take a look? ”
The old lady called Chun Tao, and Chun Tao came over with a smile. Seeing the handkerchief in the old lady's hand, she was surprised:
"Hey, this veil is so beautiful! Miss, did you embroider it? Looks like the real thing! ”
"You touch, it's not embroidered. Nianlan said that it was made by the fourth child, how did she say it? ”
"Printing and dyeing."
"Printing and dyeing? It's really beautiful, big lady. How did Miss Four do it? This is very beautiful, and if you sell it, it will definitely please those young ladies and ladies. ”
Chun Tao has a brain, and she suddenly thought of business.
But Nianlan said with some sadness:
"But the fourth sister has an accident now."
Speaking of this, Nian Lan was really choked. told the old lady about the incident at Mr. Hu's house that day. The old lady slapped heavily on the table beside her! Gritted his teeth, but didn't say anything!
Reaching out to take Nian Lan's hand, he said softly:
"Little Four has suffered! What did Dr. Wen say? Is Xiaosi's hand still saved? ”
"There is salvation, but an ointment. The father used the dyed cloth made by the fourth sister in exchange for the ointment. Now the fourth sister can sit up, and the bones on her back are better, but she can't exert herself or move much. Dr. Wen came to give medicine to his fourth sister every day. My mother has a big belly, and I don't worry about my fourth sister, so I am also very tired. ”
Old Madam Shang sighed and asked softly:
"Your mother's belly?"
Nianlan wiped her eyes, looked up at her grandmother, pulled out a smile, and said:
"Grandmother, now no one knows whether the mother is a younger brother or a younger sister in her belly, but Dr. Wen said that this time, my mother is a twin!"
"Twins!"
Old Madam Shang was a little surprised. Chun Tao behind him clapped his hands and shouted:
"Congratulations, old lady. Congratulations to the old lady! ”
"Ouch, you girl, this hasn't been born yet, you're happy, even if it's a twin, it may be two girls. What is there to be happy about. ”
The old lady said so, but she also smiled Mimi's reply, because in this world, twins are a happy event, saying that this family is good, so there are two babies to vote! This is a happy event.
Chun Tao smiled:
"The old lady forgot, didn't the old lady fall asleep to two mascots a few days ago? It seems that the old lady worships the Bodhisattva every day, and the Bodhisattva has appeared. It's really two! ”
"Ahh Hurry up, pack up, let's go early! ”
As soon as Chun Tao mentioned this, the old lady remembered. A few days ago, I dreamed that a big bird flew down to the merchant, followed by a beast, but I didn't know what kind of beast it was. At that time, I was talking to the girls about what kind of dream it was, but I didn't expect it to be a spirit now!
Then you have to go back and take a look, this is a big girl, the family is very bad. Xiaosi was so seriously injured, and his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins. There is a problem with the son's business, no wonder the big girl looks a little haggard.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. Chun Tao also hurriedly ordered everyone to move, and they all moved some things down the mountain first. Anyway, the carriage is down the hill.
And Nianlan still has something to say.
Nianlan helped her grandmother and said:
"One more thing, grandmother, before I came, my father originally asked me to bring five hundred taels of silver to the nunnery for merit, but now the family is really ..... So, I discussed it with my second sister and fourth sister. Isn't this the end of the year? Our business is not good, but the stock is fine. What we mean is to change the clothes of the teachers in the nunnery, that is, to take some of the cloth we have stored in the treasury and donate it to the temple, what do you think? ”
The old lady paused. Isn't it because of the merits of his son that he lived in this nunnery and was offered like that bodhisattva? This is going to leave by itself, and it's the end of the year again. But the son can't do his best? That's not going to work!
The old lady thought about it and said to Chun Tao:
"Take a thousand taels out of my private room. Wait a minute, when we leave, donate to the Pure Wisdom Master. ”
"Grandmother?"
Nian Lan shouted softly, and Mrs. Shang patted Nian Lan's hand and said:
"Don't think about it, this money can't be less. The previous ones have been given, and this last time is indispensable. Besides, now the Bodhisattva is looking at it, your mother's body, and the body of Xiao Si'er. We have to ask the bodhisattva for more compassion! ”
Nian Lan didn't say anything more.
Chun Tao reflexively opened a box, took out a silver ticket of one thousand from it, and handed it to Nian Landao:
"Old lady, it is usually when the lord and the eldest lady come to see you that they donate. This time, let the eldest lady donate better. ”
The old lady thought about it, nodded and said:
"Yes, you're right, it's a good idea."
The girls ran back and forth twice, and most of their stuff was taken with them. Because this time I went back, the old lady would at least come for the New Year, or not for a long time.
It's almost noon. Originally, she said that she would leave after eating, but the old lady couldn't wait. I wanted to go back quickly, so I took Nianlan to the front hall to resign to the host and the teachers, and then donated merit and went down the mountain.
