Chapter 8 Making Clothes and Reading and Writing

Wang Po continued: "That little girl is still young, and there are some things she doesn't understand, just like this water, as long as there is no ink drop, she is clean." ”

Liu Ming said with some emotion: "Hopefully, fortunately, I only have to stay up for another two years, and when I am sixteen years old, I will be able to leave the cage of Liufu." ”

Wang Po said a little cautiously: "Yes, in two years, the young master will also grow up, but will the uncle let the young master out of the house?" ”

Liu Ming sneered: "He will, because this is what he owes me, and there are people who want me to leave Liufu and never come back."

Then let my "good big brother" inherit the family property smoothly, but I don't know that I can't look down on Liufu after four generations of accumulation. ”

The current Liu Ming is really a little arrogant, the accumulation of Liu Mansion after four generations is really extraordinary, although it is not as good as the top wealthy families in the Jin Kingdom, it is also the top existence in the middle of the family.

Liu Ming's father, Liu Wen, was too guarded in any county, the eldest uncle Liu Cheng was a partial general of the first army in the northwest, the second uncle Liu Nan was a famous wealthy merchant in the southeast, and the fourth uncle Liu Bei was also a well-known Han Linlang in the court.

So Liu Ming is indeed a bit arrogant when he says this, but he has this talent, he is not an ordinary person.

Wang Po said with some concern: "But once you leave Liufu, young master, my uncle will no longer protect you, and that person will also use the power of the entire Liufu to suppress you, so that young master, you will never have a bright day." ”

Liu Ming said a little firmly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Wang, after I go out, I will change my surname to Zhao Ming, and the old woman will understand my thoughts."

In this way, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and then when I have enough strength, I will find her to settle the account. ”

How can Wang Po say it now, she is very happy, thinking that the Zhao family finally has a successor, and the Qing Shui Zhao family has been established again, even if it goes down, she can report to the old lady about the establishment of the new Zhao Mansion.

But when I thought of it, after the young master changed his name, the tyrannical uncle became worried about the young master's future again.

"Young master, it's time for you to go to Master Li to study, it's too late later, Shi is waiting for the son at the front door."

"yes, I see."

After a while, only Wang Po was left in the pavilion.

Li Fuzi was a scholar, barely passed the examination, and then was sent to a county as an official, and was a confused official for ten years, but he failed the assessment, and was finally dismissed and went home.

After he came back, how could he be idle when he was only in his fifties, so he opened his own academy and recruited the rich and noble children in the city as students.

Li Fuzi thought that Liu Ming was not worthy of teaching him, for fear of misleading people's children and delaying the future of others, so he only asked Liu Ming to come to the lecture every morning and arrange it by himself in the afternoon.

But for the monthly examination, Liu Ming must not be absent, and he must obtain a rating.

So Liu Mingcai said that he would teach Erya literacy in the afternoon.

"Erya, give me the broom, you go and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then boil some hot water to wash them up."

"Yes, mother-in-law."

After gently handing the broom to the princess, she walked towards the stone table, not slow or fast, just when I was about to arrive.

Wang Po looked at me and said, "For the rest, you can eat as much as you can, anyway, you have to throw it out, remember to wash the dishes, I will check." ”

I thought that the princess was going to tell me what to do, but it turned out to be exactly what I wanted to do secretly, so I still prefer to be above board.

Although it was all leftovers, it was still delicious.

Today, for the first time in my life, I drank beef bone soup, which contains white fungus and wolfberry, which is nourishing and nourishing to the stomach, and it tastes super good.

When the stomach is completely full, I burp three times in a row before stopping.

I took all the dishes and chopsticks back to the back room and poured the rest of the food into a special bucket of swill, which I regretted very much, but I couldn't eat it anymore.

Then I carried a wooden bucket with a "big belly" to fetch water, after all, I still have to boil water to wash dishes.

Light the twigs with a fire breaker, then slowly stuff in the wood, wait for the fire in the stove to be large, then put a kettle full of water on the stove, and the rest is to watch the fire get smaller.

After burning for a while, Wang Po came in slowly and said calmly, "Wash your hands, wipe them dry, and then follow me." ”

I washed my hands with the water left in the barrel and dried them with my own handkerchief.

The handkerchief was given to me by Sister Hua Niang, and the blue handkerchief was embroidered with a light yellow osmanthus flower, which was my baby.

Then, he followed Wang Po out of the back room, but came to the young master's study.

Although I wondered in my heart, I still didn't dare to say more, for fear that I would say something wrong and cause displeasure to the princess.

Wang Po took me to a cabinet, opened it gently, and carefully took out a tray with a few pieces of white paper, an inkstone, a small block of ink, and a few bamboo brushes of different lengths.

These things seem to have been used, so they should have been used by the young master.

"These are the young master's writing when he was a child, yesterday the young master said to teach you to read, so I gave it to you to use, don't let down the young master's hard work.

Ordinary masters don't let the maid know how to read, you are really blessed. ”

Yesterday, I thought that the young master was just saying it casually, and he would forget it after a while, so I didn't dare to think about it.

I didn't want it to be real, but I always felt a little unreal, like a dream.

Just like Wang Po said, the master will not let the maid read, on the one hand, we are required to be smart and clever, and on the other hand, we are required to be stupid, which is really tangled.

"Take it, there's a little table in your room, and you'll be there when you write."

Although I have the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones at this moment, and they are in my hands, I just feel as if they don't belong to me and may fly away at any moment.

When a huge surprise suddenly befalls a person's head, the first thing the person is to show disbelief and panic, because you are afraid from the bottom of your heart that all this is fake, and finally you rejoice in vain.

"Grab something, come with me."

When Wang Po saw that I was back to normal, the expression on her face kept changing, from disbelief at first, then ecstasy after confirmation, and only when I was finally less excited did she speak.

Following behind the princess, although they are all following the princess, this time is different.

The steps are brisk, although holding the tray in both hands, but also walking with their heads held high and high-spirited.

When I got to the house, Mrs. Wang asked me to put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of her.

After that, she asked me to stand up, took out a ruler and began to measure the length of my hands, the width of my shoulders, and the circumference of my waist.

While testing, he also said, don't move, otherwise the clothes made will not fit.

After the test, I asked, "Mother-in-law, are you making clothes?" ”

"I only make the young master's clothes, as for you and mine, I will leave them to the tailor shop outside, and we will provide the fabrics and wages."

"Then mother-in-law, why didn't you do it all?"

"I'm old, my eyes are almost unable to see clearly, after finishing the young master's clothes, what energy do I have to do my own."

"Then why, don't you leave it all to outsiders, and it saves time and effort."

"You stupid girl, what outsiders do is what they do well, do their best, learn more from me now, and when I can't see the stitches clearly, you make clothes for the young master.

We like to wear green in the yard, and the young master is called the boy in the green shirt outside, and I often like to wear the dark green, and the young master says it is dark green, which is very appropriate.

You're going to wear that light green in the future, it's all there.

Don't think that green is not good-looking, what is too plain, that red is vulgar, we are elegant, the young master said that it is called Junzi Qing, which is also very appropriate. ”
