Chapter 44 Sorrowful knots
When Qi Niang came back, Banniang cooked the cucumber and burned a ground egg soup, Qi Niang took it over, thinking that her father, brother and Uncle Wang had drunk a lot tonight, and Banniang made a sobering soup and put it in the pot to warm, so she went back to the flower hall slowly.
Because of what Qi Niang just said, she paid more and more attention to Aunt Wang's attitude, and secretly glanced at Thirteen Lang a few times, the child was also fourteen or fifteen years old, although he made a stable posture, but he still couldn't hide his immature expression, just such a little child, it is possible to become another companion for her to be with her for the rest of her life in the future?
Banniang wants to cry without tears.
If this can't be done, if the Wang family really has this kind of thing, they need to think of something to make their father and mother not do it.
Coming out of the kitchen, Zhu found that Banniang was a little embarrassed, thinking that this child was busy all night, and the weather was hot and panicked, and he was tired and suffering from heat stroke?
Thinking about it like this, I was scared, so I hurriedly called Banniang when I went to the clean room, and only touched Banniang's forehead when I entered the inner room, it was a little hot, and I was even more frightened: "Eighth sister, are you suffering from heat stroke?" Do you have nausea and dizziness? Mother thinks your forehead is also a little hot. How can this be born? You lie down on your mother's bed for a while, and then I'll go and talk to your second brother and ask him to invite Lang Zhong to come. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave the house.
Banniang said in her heart, I'm dripping Niang, alas, I'm in a hurry, and it's hot when cooking in the kitchen, isn't it? It doesn't have anything to do with heat stroke or something, right?
dragged Zhu Shi, Banniang cheered up a little, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't panic first, I didn't feel sick or dizzy, but I was a little tired." After a while, when the meal is over, take a shower and be fine. Although it is a hot day, there are still a few days before the dog days, where is the heat stroke? ”
Zhu Shi was puzzled: "Is it really okay?" ”
"Can my daughter still joke with her body? It's really okay, don't worry, if you're worried, I'll rest in your house for a while? ”
"That's good, that's good, you rest for a while, I'll go and talk to your sister-in-law here, clean up the dishes and chopsticks for a while, I won't call you, wait for your seventh sister to boil the water, you go take a bath first, and rest early."
Zhu Shi pulled Banniang to lie on the bed, took a fan, drove away mosquitoes, put down the gauze tent, and said a few more words, and then went out of the house.
Banniang faintly listened to the sound of talking outside, thinking about money for a while, thinking about her family affairs for a while, and her chest was like a heavy stone. I felt out of breath for a while.
The money matter is easy to plan, and this family matter is a bit of a family matter that she doesn't know how to solve it.
I was thinking about what if my father and mother agreed to this family affair?
I regretted that when Zhu asked her if she was suffering from heat stroke just now, she should have simply pretended to be sick, which person would pick a daughter-in-law who is sick and weak? If she pretends to be sick, maybe the Wang family will stop thinking about it? But think about it again, wouldn't this make my father and mother and my brothers and sisters worry?
The sound of cicadas chirping outside the window from time to time disturbs people's hearts.
I really couldn't lie down, Banniang got out of bed, took off her shoes, because there was a screen outside the door of the inner room, Banniang slipped lightly into the backyard, and sat alone under the Xinyi tree playing a fan, starting.
Fortunately, a few pots of mosquito repellent grass were placed on the edge of the flowers under the Xinyi tree, and there were no mosquitoes. Unconsciously and unconsciously, Banniang actually leaned on the tree and fell asleep.
"Eighth sister, wake up, why are you sleeping here? The night dew is heavy, what should I do if I catch a cold? ”
Banniang smelled a burst of wine in a hazy way, opened her sleepy eyes, and found out that it was the second brother Zeng Zigu in the light moonlight.
Dizzy a little, looking at Zeng Zigu's smiling face, as well as the black jade-like sky above him, and the stars in the sky like diamonds, Banniang was in a trance for a while.
"Second brother, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, I wanted to be here for a while, but I fell asleep if I didn't want to."
Banniang shook her dizzy head, and wanted to stand up, but her eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zeng Zigu saw that something was wrong with her, and quickly helped her, reached out and touched her forehead, frowned, and said, "Eighth sister, you have a fever." The second brother will help you go to the house to lie down first, and then call Qi Niang to come and serve you in a while. ”
As he spoke, he hugged Banniang and walked towards the house of the two sisters in the west wing of the backyard.
nested in the love of the second brother, smelling the faint fragrance of wine on his body, and the warmth from his body, Banniang felt that her empty and cold heart seemed to be warm and popular.
There was no light in the house, it was dim, Zeng Zigu groped to the side of the bed with the faint moonlight coming in through the window, put Banniang on the bed, and was about to light the lamp, but Banniang grabbed Zeng Zigu's hand and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, Sister Gang Seventh said that this time the uncle of the Wang family came over, he had a heart, and he wanted to marry the eighth sister for Wang Thirteen, is it true?" ”
In the dark, Banniang's faint voice was a little sad, and Zeng Zigu felt sad when he heard it. Hurriedly comforted: "No, don't think too much about the eighth sister, this seventh sister is too, how can I talk nonsense with you about this?" Our family is not the sour family, although the matter of marriage is decided by the parents, but if the eighth sister is unwilling, the father and mother will not be exempt from the eighth sister, besides, you are still young now, where is my brother willing to promise you now? ”
Banniang perked up when she heard this: "Is what the second brother said true? Won't lie to the eighth sister? ”
Zeng Zigu saw that she came to her spirit in vain, and he was also a little funny, so he touched her head and laughed softly: "Marriage is a major event related to my sister's life, how can it be decided lightly?" The eighth sister just rest assured, how could the second brother have lied to you? Although Wang Thirteen looks good, he is still young and has not yet been determined, where can he see what will happen in the future? Put your heart back in your stomach. ”
Banniang snuggled into Zeng Zigu's arms at this time, and said coquettishly: "It's not that Shan'er is ignorant, it's really reluctant to let my father and brothers be, and Shan'er is still young, so the second brother will persuade my father and mother to stay at home for a few more years." ”
Zeng Zigu chuckled: "You ghost girl, what are you worried about?" Don't worry, father, mother and brothers, where are they willing to let you marry early? Lie down first, and the second brother will call Qi Niang over. ”
Since then, Banniang has been very relieved, so she let Zeng Zigu go. In my heart, I was happy again, could it be that I was walking through the sweet and dense farming style? So all kinds of cheats? In addition to the poverty of the family, there was such an annoyance in total, and it was solved so smoothly?
This was all she was worried about, and she lay on the bed thinking about the Grange again.
A few days ago, Wu Sanniang came to change her, and bought four patterns at the price of fifty pieces, and now half a month has passed, if it is not bad, in a few days, Wu Sanniang will come to look for her again.
Now there are 400 guan at home, the second brother and their expenses to go to Beijing, after all, there is no hurry, there are two or three months, the land is full, 600 guan is enough, that is, to buy farm tools, but also after buying land, that is, wait until August to do it, if it is done quickly, it can also be used in time for autumn planting. In this way, if there are more than 200 times, the purchase of the Grange can be done.
It's just that if Wu Sanniang doesn't come to look for her, what if the family is in a hurry to use the money now?
I thought of Wu Sanniang asking her to design a set of head jewelry for her, these days she also painted almost, because Wu Sanniang herself used as a dowry, so Banniang painted with special intentions, enough to change several times, before it was settled, now this matter is urgent, it is better to take the opportunity to send the draft, to Wu Sanniang through a word, with Wu Sanniang's intelligence, will not be unable to hear the sound that she needs money, if she can help, then this set of jewelry she painstakingly painted for her, will be given to her for free.
Thinking of this, Banniang laughed, she was really getting more and more thieves, and the set of jewelry that was simply made for Wu Sanniang was originally intended to be given to others.
I decided to finish the sketch tomorrow and find a time to go to Tai Rui Xiang in the afternoon.
After a while, Qi Niang carried a bucket of water into the house, and seeing her struggling appearance, Banniang hurriedly got up and got out of bed to help.
Qi Niang hurriedly said: "Lie down quickly, the second brother said that you are not feeling well, and my sister told me again, I thought that you are tired for a day, so it is more comfortable to take a bath first." You didn't eat anything at night, so I followed your previous method, and I brought you a bowl of noodles for a while, took a shower and just ate some before going to sleep. Save yourself hungry in the middle of the night. ”
As he spoke, he went to move the bathtub for bathing, found a bath towel, tested the water temperature, and then went.
Banniang took a bath comfortably, changed into a clean silk shirt and wore it, felt cool and comfortable, even the dizziness just now, it was much better, so she took a group fan, went to sit under the Xinyi tree outside the house to enjoy the coolness, and waited for Qi Niang to call.
The troublesome things have been solved, and my heart is happy for a while, and even the original annoying grass and insect chirping has become very leisurely and beautiful.
