Chapter 9 The God of Wealth Comes to the Door
"Are you alright?" Jiurou was still worried, frowning and asking with an extremely serious expression.
Banniang stretched out her hand and stroked Jiulang's brows, and smiled softly: "Sister is really fine, don't frown if it's okay, it's like a little old man." ”
"You're only a little old man," for this little comrade, only seven years old, but extremely important Comrade Jiulang Zeng Zixuan, saying that he is a little old man, it is a great insult to him, so he protested solemnly, while saying, he took Banniang's hand, "Go, hurry up and go to the house to add clothes, how can people worry about it?" ”
There was an adult demeanor between the words, and Banniang smiled. turned around and confessed to Jue'er, optimistic about his little ten aunts and Gong'er, and was pulled into the house by him.
Such a beautiful spring day, Banniang is idle, pulling Jiulang and Jue'er to exercise in the morning, reading books during the day, and the second brother is idle at night, asking for advice and teaching with the second brother, occasionally saying a few sour poems, painting, thinking about the plan to make money, and then helping to do some housework within his ability, with the baby, the days pass quickly, and the weather is hot in a blink of an eye, and the new dress made by Zhu for her and Qi Niang is also ready. Banniang put on new clothes, and her mood soared.
In a few days it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu and sister-in-law Wu have to make some incense for their sisters and brothers and two nephews, cut some Aihu, buy color threads and weave some Baisuo, keep the Dragon Boat Festival is easy to use, Banniang will go to Qi Niang: "Seventh sister, doesn't the Dragon Boat Festival say that you still need some peach branches and willow branches and calamus sunflower Buddha Dao Ai?" If you buy it, won't it be a waste of money? In the past, in order to hide from Qingjing, didn't the second brother often go to the cliff on the edge of Xushui to study? I heard the second brother mention, or in the natural stone room, there is a water curtain hanging, and there is a natural stone table and stone platform inside, I have always wanted to find a chance to see, I think that there must be fragrant wormwood and other things by the water, out of the city, why don't we go with my father and mother, how about a trip? ”
Qi Niang doesn't go out on weekdays, and she is naturally moved when she hears the words, but Qi Niang is a very down-to-earth girl, she thinks that Ba Niang is whimsical, going out of the city to the mountains, but it is not a joke, and her father and mother will definitely not let her go, so she persuaded: "This can't be done, my father and mother will not allow it, and you don't want to think about it." If you go out, it's too late to regret it. These things used in the Dragon Boat Festival are sold in the morning and night markets at that time, and they are very cheap. When the days come, we just go to the night market and buy some. ”
Banniang was unwilling, but she also knew that what the seventh sister said was the truth, her eyes rolled, and she remembered something: "If you say the Dragon Boat Festival, will the second brother have a holiday in school?" The students are going back for the holidays, right? If that's the case, why don't you talk to the second brother? Let him take us? ”
This is also a way, the seventh sister thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Then when the second brother gets out of school at night, you go and ask." ”
Seeing that she was expected to go out, Banniang was in a good mood, and couldn't wait for the second brother to come back from the school, and Qi Niang went out to do things, so she sat in the house alone, thinking about how to move the second brother and take her and Qi Niang out to play. She also wants to see the big Song River and mountains in charge of the Chai royal family.
In the spring, she is not in good health, I heard that in March, when the cold food is clear, the whole country is stepping on the spring, the young lady who has not left the cabinet, and the sons and brothers who have not married each other, have gone out one after another, in the name of enjoying the spring and enjoying the spring, and look at each other. If you have a fancy one, you can ask for your name and address, and go back to someone to discuss with you.
Jianchang belongs to Jiangxi, and the people are open, but unfortunately Banniang was recovering from a serious illness at that time, so she naturally did not have the opportunity to watch the grand scene of the handsome guys and beauties all in the city, and she felt sorry in her heart. She is not yet the time to engage in objects, but it is also a pleasure to watch people engage in objects, which is not common in ancient times, except for those few days, people will not show you at other times.
After thinking about it for a while, I laughed a little, and went to sharpen my pen and ink, planning to practice a few words.
In her previous life, she had such grandparents and grandmothers, and she naturally received the most traditional education, so she also practiced calligraphy ruthlessly. She has always thought that her brush writing is not bad, in order not to appear abrupt, but also fake practice for two months, before writing a piece for the second brother to taste, originally thought that with her eleven or twelve years old, the words are written like this, naturally to get a few words of praise, who knows that the second brother Zeng can't look down on it at all, and also pointed out that her pen power is vain, the pen peak is not solid enough, and then a stroke, corrected for a long time.
There is such a great Confucian in the world, Uncle Yong, who is doing a scholar at this time, has boasted: "There are thousands of people who have passed my door, and they are happy to be born" The elder brother who envied the students of the world was also a shocking thing. Therefore, Banniang has been very attentive in practicing calligraphy recently.
Zhenglin was calm, writing stroke by stroke, Jue'er was sent to look for her: "Eighth aunt, there is a lady named Wu Sanniang who is looking for you, and Seventh Aunt is talking in the front yard, let me come to look for you." ”
Wu Sanniang?
Banniang threw the pen excitedly, patting the little shoulder of Jue'er, who was only half a year younger than her age, but half a head taller than her.
Jue'er Qi said: "This Wu Sanniang is my aunt's friend? I've never heard you mention it before, have you? ”
Although Jue'er knew that the eighth aunt had won back a lot of money for the family, she didn't know who this Wu Sanniang was.
"Let's go," Banniang smiled, "she is not my aunt's friend, but my aunt's god of wealth." This time, our family has money to make again. ”
Banniang walked out and arrived at the door, but stood down again, let herself laugh enough, so as not to be in a happy mood for a while, laughed out loud, and asked Wu Sanniang to see that she was coming to her, and secretly cooled to Haipi, that would not be good, as a poor and poor daughter of a family, Banniang felt that although she was poor, she could not lose the calm style of the daughter of a famous family.
Taking a deep breath, calming down the mood that was rippling for a lot of silver, and straightening the clothes that had not been on her body for a long time, Banniang took lotus steps, and Shi Shiran went to the front yard.
Looking at her appearance, Jue'er said behind her, what is wrong with Aunt Eight? Foot pain? Well, I have to remind Aunt Seven to take a closer look.
Banniang was unconsciously worried about her little lotus step who thought she was a woman of the family, and if she knew, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
When I arrived in the main house, I saw Wu Sanniang sitting in the guest seat, Qi Niang was talking with her, and Banniang stepped forward to see her, enthusiastic and subtle, playful and dignified: "Why did Sister Wu think about coming to us to play?" I also wanted to talk to Sister Wu, but I knew that Sister Wu was a busy person and it was not easy to disturb, so I didn't go. ”
Wu Sanniang smiled and said: "Banniang is too humble, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, if it weren't for something, we really wouldn't dare to come to the door easily as a merchant." It's that you and Qi Niang are willing to associate with me, but I'm afraid that outsiders will see it, and they think that my San Niang doesn't know how to be self-conscious, and I want to make friends with famous families. ”
"My sister also said that I am humble, but what you said is too much," Banniang smiled and sat down next to Qi Niang, "What kind of business, Sister Qi and I both like my sister to be capable, and whenever I talk about it, I always think that I am lucky to be able to meet my sister." ”
The two politely communicated, and Wu Sanniang went straight to the point: "...... Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the two sisters, the last time you gave me a few pictures, I was itchy, specially let the master in the shop rush to do, originally thought about their own retention, who wanted to rush out, it was seen by the guests, hard to buy, and then let the master do this, do not take other orders, even made many sets, the result is only one made, put in the shop but two or three days can be sold, and there are some people single over, named to those sets, this more than a month, let us Terui line make a lot of money. So, thinking about the pre-holiday, I have to be free these few days, so I would like to thank my two sisters. ”
This Wusan lady can really speak, obviously it was something that she bought for eighty yuan, but she said that it was given by them.
Banniang also showed just the right amount of surprise: "Really popular? As he spoke, he patted his chest angrily, "That's good, I was worried that my sister took it in vain, but the last time I came back, I was scolded by my father." Well, I don't have to worry about being upset. I also congratulate my sister on a prosperous business, and I hope that my sister will be able to make a lot of money in the future. ”
"Lend you good words." Wu Sanniang is not a person who twists, so she is no longer vain, "This time I took the liberty to come to the door, first, to visit the two sisters, and secondly, I also wanted to ask Banniang to do me another favor, if I have time, can you spend a few more patterns for me?" ”
"This?" Banniang made an embarrassed look, "I am also very happy to help my sister, not to mention that my sister is not in vain, but she has been reprimanded by her father last time......"
When Wu Sanniang heard this, the smile on her face reluctantly rose, she also knew that such a Confucian family was the most important name, if she was dealing with the daughter of a merchant like her, the head of the family would not be happy, and there were also some people, so in this way, it was indeed abrupt to herself. She Wu Sanniang is also a person with great self-esteem and self-love, if it weren't for the pattern, how could she go up the pole and run to the door, others still think that she is the daughter of a merchant at a price, and wants to climb the high branches of the official family.
Banniang looked at her face, thinking about what she had just said, she knew that Wu Sanniang had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Sister Wu, don't misunderstand, it's not that my father doesn't want us to have dealings with Sister Wu, but I'm afraid that Sister Wu and I will cheat Sister Wu of money." ”
Saying this, Wu Sanniang was relieved and said with a smile: "How is this a lie?" We merchants are the most shrewd, and besides, even if I spend money in vain, it is voluntary, and it has nothing to do with my sister, it's just a matter of this pattern......"
"This, I'm really bad to answer my sister, you see this is good, my father went out, and when he comes back, I'll ask again, if my father agrees, I will definitely inform my sister, draw a few more pictures for my sister, and send it to my sister when the painting is finished, and my sister will pick the eye-catching one to keep, if it really doesn't fancy it, it should be the love of Ba Niang and the last time my sister gave that eighty times, my sister thinks it's good?"
