Chapter 4: Unhappy
Regarding the matter of dressing, Shao Jing and Tian Youwei did not have any special requirements, and they did not feel that Xie's arrangement was inappropriate.
Because the world is too bad.
Originally, the Tian family lived in Yuyao, Yuezhou, the ancestral craftsmanship, the Yuezhou secret color porcelain made since the previous dynasty is tribute porcelain, although the situation is weak, but Tian's father is diligent and hardworking, and there is always some accumulation.
But the war ruined everything.
The second emperor was captured, the royal family crossed to the south, the captives invaded the south, and bandits were rampant, the people of Yuezhou were not happy, ten rooms and nine empty, and Tian's father had to pull up a team to protect his family and defend the country.
After fighting intermittently for several years, Tian Youwei's adult eldest brother died in battle, Tian's father was wounded, and the family resources were almost exhausted.
The remaining little assets are not only to take care of the orphans, the elderly and the disabled, but also to maintain the operation of the family kiln, which is always stretched.
Although he later obtained the qualification of tribute porcelain, and Tian's father also got a small official from the ninth grade, he only barely supported his life, and there was not much surplus.
As a housewife, it is a matter of course for Xie to be diligent and thrifty.
Tian Youwei responded positively: "It's good, but the shoes have to be made separately." ”
"Hmm." Xie Shi answered, walked out in silence, and Mrs. Gao instructed Shao Jing: "Follow up." ”
Shao Jing looked at Tian Youwei with a blank eye, hoping that Tian Youwei would accompany him.
A child has a natural ability to easily sense who likes him and who doesn't.
He felt that the Xie family and Mrs. Gao didn't seem to like him very much, but Tian Youwei was different, and she kissed when she looked at it.
Tian Youwei didn't follow, and waved at him with a smile: "You have to listen to Grandma." ”
Shao Jing lowered her eyelashes in disappointment, and walked out behind Gao Pozi with two hands drooping.
Ximei walked in and said, "Why didn't Wei Niang follow?" Haven't you ever been the most hilarious? I heard that the master specially ordered to give Ah Jing to go to bad luck. ”
Tian Youwei said lightly: "It's not that I haven't seen what happened in the past, he is a boy bathing, what am I doing with the past?" ”
Ximei patted his head: "It's too!" ”
Tian Youwei thought for a while and advised: "You make two pairs of shoes for Ah Jing, a pair of cloth shoes, a pair of cotton shoes, and the children's shoes, the material is better, and it must be strong." I'll go and say my mother. ”
The Xie family is very provincial, especially when Shao Jing is particularly provincial, and Tian's father is careless, so he will not pay attention to these details.
So the new shoes that didn't fit Shao Jing's feet back then were pulled from autumn to winter until they were worn out, and his feet hadn't grown so big.
She was still young at the time, and she couldn't think of so much, so this time, let her do these things.
With Xie's temperament, as long as she opens her mouth, even if she is unhappy, she will not allow it.
Ximei responded with a smile: "Wei Niang's appearance as a little adult, the second master must be sour when he sees it, and you don't even think about making a pair of shoes for the second master." ”
Ximei is talking about Tian Youwei's second brother Tian Bing.
Tian Youwei thought of her second brother who died unexpectedly early, and her heart was surging: "If you want to do it, wait for me to do it for him." ”
She confessed her eyebrows: "When the shoes are ready, just give them to Ah Jing directly, don't say that I gave them to you." ”
Xi Mei was puzzled: "Why?" Isn't he glad to know that you treat him well? ”
"No, you just say that the elders in the family arranged it."
Tian Youwei commanded Ximei: "Find out my red books, paper, pens, patterns and so on." ”
Ximei squeaked: "Are you looking for Young Master Ah Jing?" ”
Tian Youwei was serious: "No, I want to use it myself." ”
Shao Jing will be a Jinshi and the first in the future, and he will speak a lot of Bang dialects, and there will be no obstacles to doing business and talking with Fanbang people.
She saw him heroic, talking and laughing, more admiration, joy and pride, and at the same time a trace of envy and inferiority.
Since you are envious of inferiority, you should let yourself become the existence that others admire, and work hard to cure the root cause.
She can!
Tian Youwei sat calmly in front of the window and wrote, with a faint and beautiful smile on the corner of her lips, with the foundation of the first twenty years, don't be too good!
At the same time, the Tian family is in the main courtyard.
The sound of the water in the side room was mixed with the laughter of the mother-in-law: "Little Ah Jing, how long have you not taken a bath?" Two years? Three years? ”
Xie Shi sat in front of the window sullenly, and Mrs. Gao sat with her on the side, changed a set of old green cloth clothes in her hand to a smaller size, and said in a low voice: "These people just love to talk nonsense, sesame seeds are a little bigger, and after a while, they will be spread everywhere." ”
"Isn't it the son of an old man who came in from outside? The old man also made it clear that it was the son and nephew of the Shao Bureau clan.
Our family got this opportunity to pay tribute to porcelain, it was given by the Shao Bureau, we have to remember the affection, not to mention that Ah Jing's parents were martyred and died, loyal and martyrful, should be managed!
Even if you adopt it as an adopted son, it's nothing, and if you give birth to a little master in the future, will you be able to get over your relatives? Aren't there Wei Niang and the second master ahead! ”
Xie Shi whispered: "But he refused to tell me who Ah Jing's father was, I am his wife, although I have never added a ding to him since I got married, but I have been doing my best to take care of the housework for the past few years...... Not to mention ......"
What's more, Xie didn't say anything, and Mrs. Gao didn't answer.
The expressions of the two of them were a little solemn, and after a while, Xie Shi's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Nurse, I feel uncomfortable!" I'm afraid what they're saying is true! ”
Mrs. Gao sighed: "Forget it, don't think about it, just do it as a good deed, don't do it on your face, the master will definitely be unhappy when he sees it." ”
Tian Youwei didn't know anything, so she packed up and went out after writing.
There are only seven or eight people in the Tian family, and everyone wears many hats and is very busy.
Ximei was in charge of cleaning and tidying up the inner courtyard, and she was so busy that she saw Tian Youwei quietly going out, so she said loudly: "Where are you going, Wei Niang?" ”
"I'll pick up my second brother at the door." Tian Youwei's steps were brisk, and she ran out in a blink of an eye.
Ximei no longer cares about her, and does her own thing with peace of mind.
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the dark tiles, and a tuft of dog-tail grass dances in the evening breeze.
Tian Youwei held her cheeks and sat on the stone steps in front of the gate of Tian's house to sort out her thoughts.
"Ding Ding Ding ~" The copper bell rang, and from time to time, neighbors and clansmen who drove their cattle home passed by and stopped to greet her.
Some of them she remembered, and some of them she had forgotten, she greeted them with a smile and added, "Have you seen my second brother?" ”
Everyone either replied that they saw it, or they said no, but she didn't care, and hung her neck and continued to wait.
"Awei, your second brother is here!" A clan brother passed by with a plow and rake, smiling and reminding her.
Several young men in short shirts laughed and laughed from far and near.
The first one was thin and tall, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and was obviously more outstanding than the others.
