Chapter 10: What about the virtues of poor women
The morning glow is better than the sunset.
The woman of the rich family is like the morning glow, and the temples and clouds want to spend the fragrant cheeks and snow.
The woman from a poor family is like the sunset, holding a long strip of tears like rain.
The poor live only for the rich.
Born like this, born helpless.
Yuzhu took the sifted glutinous rice flour to the yard, and when the air was good in the morning, she liked to move a chair and sit in the morning glow.
Pour the boiling water into a porcelain bowl, then put some cold well water, adjust the temperature, and put it into the glutinous rice flour.
The rounded hands rubbed together in the pile of powder until the scattered powders coalesced together to form a smooth ball.
Yuzhu Niang walked over with the laundry tub in her hand, and was very satisfied when she saw the small Lantern Festival that had been piled up into a hill in the bowl.
The daughter is so capable, even if she doesn't marry in the future, she should be able to support herself.
It's not that she doesn't want her to get married, which family would curse her daughter like this?
It's just that she knows very well in her heart, her husband died early, her family is poor, Yuzhu is mediocre, she can even be said to be ugly, and she is so fat and a little dark, which family will like it?
"Yuzhu, are the green and red fruit pine nuts ready?"
"Mother, I'll be ready before dawn!"
"Have you washed the red beans?"
"It's washed, it's already in the pot and cooked."
"Is the steamer hot?"
"Oops! Forgot! ”
She smiled innocently, hurriedly got up, and wiped the sweat on her face with her little fat hand stained with glutinous rice flour, and a white color fell on her slightly dark face.
She is particularly prone to sweating, whether in summer or winter.
"Mother, how many plum blossom cakes do you say you want to sell today?"
"What do you want to do so much, just do it again when it's sold out."
"There is a temple fair in Niangniang Temple today, and I want to go and see it later."
"What are you going to do? The girl's family. ”
"I want to ask for a visa."
She smiled again, a little embarrassed.
"I had a strange dream last night, so I want to go to Master to solve the sign."
After washing her clothes, Yuzhu Niang wiped her wet hands on her clothes.
She hadn't thought about letting Yuzhu go to the temple fair, because without her, the plum blossom cake business would not be so easy.
How much silver she has to lose in half a day!
The stone lady next door walked in without knocking, picked up the washed fruit on the stool and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Yuzhu Niang, the back kitchen of the Tang Mansion is looking for your Yuzhu to make pastries, saying that it is Mrs. Tang's chatter!"
Poof, the nucleus spit on the ground, and looked at Yuzhu with a meaty smile on his face.
"This girl in your family is also old enough to get married!"
Hearing the word marry, Yuzhu's round face turned into an apple, and she hurriedly got up and went to the house.
"This fat girl, what are you shy, a big girl should get married, it's a normal thing!"
Yuzhu Niang smiled and moved the basket of green fruits next to Shi Niang back to the house.
"Mother, I'm going to the Tang Mansion."
Yuzhu changed into neat clothes, and her hair was tied into a popular double bun among girls.
"Go, go, I'll watch at home."
"Hey!" Yuzhu responded happily and went to the well to take a photo.
"If someone wants to give a reward, you can accept it, don't be embarrassed."
"But Mrs. Tang has a bad memory, and she can give me more than 20 rewards a day, so she must be wrong!"
"She won't be mistaken, the reward is more because my cakes are delicious!"
There was a lean boy standing at the door, dressed in a short beat, looking youthful and energetic, who was sweeping the open space in front of Yuzhu's house with a broom at the moment, and when he saw her come out, he immediately greeted her.
"Where did Sister Yuzhu go? Today I took a half-day off, so I'll accompany you to the temple fair! ”
"My mother won't let me go, and the Tang Mansion called me over. Brother Shi, there are plum blossom cakes I made in the kitchen, you can take a few to eat. ”
"Oops! I'll go back to work when I'm full! Next month, Third Young Master Lu gets married, and I can bring you a lot of delicious food! ”
"Don't take other people's things blindly, you will be punished if you catch them!"
Yuzhu smiled innocently, and the boy named Stone also smiled innocently. But there's nothing to say!
"Stone Niang, your stone has also reached the age of marrying!"
"Our family's stone, don't worry, of course he has to wait for a good girl. He is good-looking and smart, and I don't like ordinary daughters-in-law. ”
Talking with melon seeds, vague and undisguised proud.
Yuzhu Niang was disgusted, didn't she rely on her son to be an errand in Lu Mansion! On weekdays, I can always take some leftover food and clothing from Lu Mansion back, and I feel that I am amazing!
"Our family is a stone, since I was a child, I have been different from people, and it is also my mother's heart that can teach such a good son. Do you know that the big housekeeper in Lu Mansion is Master Lu An, he likes to send him on errands, and he just doesn't worry about letting others go! ”
Yuzhu Niang smiled, and she didn't know how many times she had scolded her! Since I gave birth to a girl fifteen years ago and she gave birth to a boy, I began to lose her everything! Even being a widow is not as much as a widower!
"Our family Yuzhu is too, Mrs. Tang asked her to go to the kitchen by name, ten miles and eight towns, who dares to say that her craftsmanship is not good!"
"Your jade beads are good at craftsmanship, but ah, they don't look very good."
Slurping his lips, quite regretful.
"The girl is different from the kid, the face is the capital! There is a Leng Yun girl in Chunxiang Building, do you know? Young Master Lu Qi is a night pearl for her, it is really as big as a goose egg! ”
"That Chunxiang House is a brothel! How can you compare Yuzhu to a bitch! ”
"What's wrong with the bitch, people are worth a night pearl! We are good girls, but if you sell us, you can't compare to her showing up. ”
I grabbed another melon seed, and it was all over the ground.
Laughing at poverty and not laughing at prostitutes.
Ordinary people can't dream of such a glamorous day.
"Girls' families, being able to marry a good family is the real skill, and everything else is fake. How's it going, has anyone come to propose marriage recently? ”
Yuzhu Niang carried a bucket of water, and when she walked beside her, she pretended to stumble, and the cold water splashed Shi Niang's body.
"Yo, what's going on! I'm still Mrs. Lu's clothes! ”
"Ah, then go back and change your clothes!"
I knew it was boring, so I grabbed the melon seeds and put them in my pocket before leaving.
When he walked to the door, he saw his son chatting happily with Fat Yuzhu, and hurriedly pulled them away.
"What are you talking about here, Miss Lu Liu's place is not more fun than here!"
"Mother, Yuzhu is telling me how to make plum blossom cake!"
"What plum blossom cake to make, hurry up and go to Lu Mansion for me!"
He glanced at Yuzhu in disgust.
"My stone has a good match, don't hit his idea!"
I felt angry again, so I grabbed her.
"Young age, why are you so shameless!"
Yuzhu was a little aggrieved, she didn't know what she had done wrong.
"I didn't have the idea to hit him."
She watched Brother Shi being pulled away by Shi Niang, and turned around to make a grimace at her in two steps, poofing and laughing!
Ignorant and innocent, she didn't know that three miles away on Cuiyun Tower, a group of sons and brothers were taking her to make fun of Young Master Lu Qi, who had lost the bet, laughing and asking him to fulfill his original promise.
