Chapter 4 Never give up
She was three years old and was raised by her grandparents.
It's just that when she just turned 20 years old, the two elders passed away one after another, and she has no brothers and sisters since then, living alone on the compensation of her parents and part-time jobs. So she hated the night very much, hated that she was the only one in the big room, that even the sound of breathing seemed hollow, and that she was so lonely that it was as if the whole world had died together.
Later, she chose to live in the emergency room on the night shift, preferring to work overtime every day rather than return to an empty home, for seven years she almost took the hospital as her home, and she had to hear the sound of people talking to fall asleep, and the life in the emergency room gave her the feeling of going home.
Imagine a person who rarely takes vacations, who is overworked if she doesn't work? Working eighteen hours a day, no matter how hard an iron man is, he will fall.
"Miss, you want to be called aunt." Qingyu reminded in a whisper, lest the master commit the taboo of his wife, and his aunt is a half-slave and cannot be called the master.
It can't be said that Aunt Xue is too selfish, but she is not capable enough, and she is not bold enough, unlike Aunt Du who has a childhood sweetheart relationship with the master, and now without the support of Mrs. Yu, Aunt Xue can only take care of one child at most, and she chose a son who can let her rely on.
Sometimes she is very sympathetic to Miss, it is better to have a mother than no mother, it is more sad, but no one cares for it is better than being a slave, at least she doesn't have to serve others, she has food, drink and a house to live in, and she doesn't have to worry about being sold, which is like her family has been a domestic slave for three generations, and she can't leave the country.
"You little hoof should be careful, how many times have you called Miss Three, adding one more word will kill you! Miss Miss's shout, be careful to shout your little life. A woman in a saffron dress walked in and reached out and pinched Qingyu's arm.
"Mama Moonβ"
"Nurse ......"
The woman, who was about forty years old, poked the third lady's eyebrows lightly with one hand, blaming her for not having a distinction between dignity and inferiority, and conniving at the girl without any measure, pushing away the aggrieved Qingyu with one hand, and asking her to be careful of the intrigue in the mansion with a slightly sullen face, don't think that no one hears what she says.
Mama Yue also has a son and two daughters, but the youngest daughter died of chickenpox, and she treats the third lady who has grown up since she was a child as a daughter, and spoils her more than her own mother.
It's just that Mrs. found a name to resign the other nurse, she has to take care of the young lady and the young master alone, so she lacks skills, and she can't take care of the small one if she can take care of the big one, the little young master is young, she has to stay there for a long time, and then come over to the third young lady to take a look when she has free time.
But she can't help anyone after all, Aunt Xue doesn't care about herself, and what can she say, an old woman who receives a monthly salary, can only sigh that the third lady voted for the wrong mother's fetus.
"There's someone over there, don't go over there and pick flowers." This master and servant are really bold, and they are not afraid of being discovered by "stealing" flowers year after year.
"Nurse, we're just ...... Uh, pick up flowers! It's a pity not to pick up the flowers on the ground, we dried the flowers and ground them into powder, and we can also add them to the rouge to add some bright color. "Peach blossom resin, peach paste, peach blossom pancreas, she doesn't make much, only for her own use, most of them are used to make wine.
The older the wine, the more fragrant it can be, and there will be no trouble, but the fragrant powder is seasonal and cannot be put away for a long time, and the proportion is not good enough to cause trouble.
Mama Yue snorted lightly from her nostrils. "You are still young, so you don't need to rush to color, but if you learn well, you will be of infinite use."
What are they doing in private, when she doesn't know? She just couldn't bear to say that after all, the daughter of the dignified county magistrate couldn't even afford to take a single piece of medicine, which was really distressing.
Mama Yue has a grudge in her heart, thinking that Madame's approach is too much, Aunt Xue is honest as an aunt, and it doesn't hinder Madame from doing anything, but the amount of energy is narrow, and the big and small ones are not easy to make, thinking of a way to toss people to show the majesty of the master mother and consolidate her status.
"Got it, nurse, we're going, we won't delay." She also understands that one more craft and one more guarantee, maybe one day it can be used, just like winemaking.
She wants to learn Zheng Xiuniang's double-sided embroidery has a lot of a way out, which day when there is a shortage of silver, she will sell double-sided embroidery, and the embroidery made into a fan is about one tael of silver, and the larger one is five taels such as the table screen, if it is a half-person high screen, one is less to say seven or eight taels.
It's just that the embroidery method is complicated, and it takes a month to half a year to complete it, and there are many people who buy it, and there are few people who embroider it, and there is no market for it, and it is not easy to sell.
The embroidery of the women in the boudoir can not be leaked, it is related to the most important name of the world, unless forced to do so or to make a living of the embroidery girl, otherwise a little confident people are not allowed to their daughters to show their personal belongings to the public, let alone sell.
Yu Rusu inquired about the market in case of emergency, a long life, who knows if it will always be smooth, it is always right to learn more.
"Today, the third master wants to study your homework, don't rush back for lunch, eat in the embroidery pavilion, rest for a while and then go to the study, the third master is fine in the afternoon, and he will go over in the middle of the appointment, this is the order of the third master." When the children are older, the third master doesn't want the seedlings to grow crooked, and he is afraid that they will not learn and have no skills.
For example, a certain person, the pants in the pants, the muddy person who dares to pierce the sky.
"Ahh My peach blossom ...... "If I don't brew it today, those baskets of peach blossoms will be picked in vain, and the silver she lost will ...... Heartache!
Mama Yue looked at her master with a pale face. "There's still a nurse here! Afraid of what. β
"Nurse, you treat me so well." Yu Rusu's soft voice is coquettish.
"No, it's good for you, it's good for whom, you grew up eating my milk, and the kitten-like babies were almost able to talk about others......" As soon as I saw the third lady, I thought of my daughter who had no chance, and Mama Yue's nose was slightly sour. Okay, let's not talk about it, I will be disgusted and nagged if I talk too much, and the proportion of sprinkling water will be clear, and I will be able to evenly mix. β
Qingyu's eyes widened. "Mama Yue, how do you know...... "They steal wine?"
"Jiang is old and spicy, I will know what you want when you sneeze......" I can't hide it from her, she just doesn't say it.
"Sister Bigfoot, you're here."
This is a ridicule and a malicious humiliation with ill intentions.
This dynasty has the custom of wrapping small feet, for example, all the small and wealthy families in the family take small feet as beautiful, daughters need to wrap their feet when they reach an age, and the three-inch golden lotus is the most beautiful, and the girl who does not wrap her small feet can not marry a good family.
The same is true of the daughter of the Jade Mansion, who has to wrap her feet before the age of six, and her small feet are not as big as the palm of a woman's hand, and she wraps them with layers of foot cloths to keep the shape of her feet unchanged, and the toes that are folded upwards must also be fixed so that they no longer grow.
For the sake of beauty, he can endure even the pain of breaking bones, even if he has to endure it for years.
Looking at the weak willow supporting the wind Yu Ruhui, and the wind swaggering, weak Yu Ruqing, they all have a pair of three-inch lotus feet, walking lotus steps, swaying and swaying, walking one step and three steps, the delicate posture makes people feel pity and want to step forward to help.
Yu Rusu also had foot binding, but it didn't take long for the wound to deteriorate due to poor care, and the whole person burned like fiery red charcoal, almost the whole leg had to be amputated, and then the doctor said that he had to recuperate for at least a year before he could bind his feet again, otherwise the feet would be wasted, and Mrs. Yu felt sorry for her granddaughter and didn't let her feet bind.
Another year passed and it was the year of the third master's scientific examination, and everyone forgot about it when they threw themselves on the imperial examination, and she escaped.
In the coming year, the family was appointed to Qinan County, and no one mentioned this matter again, and Yu Rusu's little feet grew bigger and bigger, more than three inches early.
By the time everyone remembered this, Yu Rusu was already ten years old, and it was too late to bind her feet, unless she cut her feet and folded her feet, and then cut off a small toe to stuff it into a three-inch-long embroidered shoe.
At that time, Yu Rusu, whose soul had crossed over, was willing to let people use knives on their feet, doing that kind of perverted thing of binding their feet, she was noisy and noisy and did not allow people to bind their feet, and ran to hide in the uninhabited guest room next door for seven days, and finally allowed her not to wrap her feet before coming back.
She wasn't hungry in those days, Qingyu and Mama Yue took turns to bring her food, and persuaded her to the benefits of binding her feet, but Yurusu, who was unmoved, was still proud of her big feet.
In fact, her feet are not very big, they are bigger than her hands, and the real big feet are not worth mentioning, but compared with the small feet of the three-inch golden lotus for the beauty, it is really big, the skirt of the drag is pulled up, and a row of small feet are crumbling, but she stands as steady as Mount Tai, and the obvious big feet are incompatible with other small feet.
I don't know if it's a natural offense, or a mountain that can't accommodate two people, every time Yu Ruhui sees her sister who is two years younger than her, she always makes a fuss about other people's big feet, and she has to rip off a layer of flesh from head to toe, otherwise she vows not to give up.
