"Thank you, Sixth Sister."

Xiao Shi Niang's milk voice and milk airway.

Liu Niang liked her reasoning very much, so she glanced at Banniang and said with a smile: "Little Tenth Sister is not very well-behaved?" How can you be so naughty as you say? ”

Xiao Shi pouted and said angrily: "The eighth sister is the worst, lie to the sixth sister." ”

Qi Niang also pursed her lips and smiled: "Sixth sister, don't pay attention to this pair of enemies, somehow, obviously one is twelve, and the other is only four years old, and he is fighting all day long." ”

For fear of arguing with the old grandmother, the four sisters went to the crape myrtle tree in the small courtyard to cool off and talk.

I heard that these old crape myrtles were planted by the great-grandmother Yixing Taijun Zhou when she was young, and she was unable to ask Mr. to teach, so what my grandfather learned was passed on by my great-grandmother Yixing Taijun Taijun, who was also a talented woman who read poetry and books, and was very famous in Linchuan and Jianchangjun. In addition, Jiangxi has a prosperous literary style, and there are many women enrolled in school, so although their sisters are daughters' families, the family is dedicated to their literacy and reading.

The three sisters were talking, and Xiao Shi Niang was gagging a few words from time to time, although the voice was deliberately low, it was also lively.

I didn't know the sense of water, and after nearly an hour and a half, I heard the old lady in the house cough, Liu Niang was used to serving, and knew that the grandmother was probably awake, so she entered the house, poured a glass of water, helped the old lady rinse her mouth, and made another warm tea for the old lady to drink.

Qi Niang and the others also entered the house and asked with a smile: "Grandmother is sleeping okay?" ”

The old lady nodded with a smile, and beckoned to the little tenth sister, because there were many people at noon, she didn't care about this bad girl, and asked with a smile: "Little tenth sister, come and sit on grandmother's side, I heard that you recognize a lot of words now, but really?" ”

Xiao Shi Niang sat down with the old lady, looked up and said with a smile: "Yes, the eighth sister also taught me a thousand-character text, one day my grandmother wanted to hear it, and Zhen'er recited it to my grandmother." ”

The old lady boasted, "What a clever boy." ”

Xiao Shi was complimented, and couldn't help but be proud, and said: "The eighth sister often rubs her father's shoulders, and her father always praises her, and Zhen'er will also rub her grandmother?" The mother said that the most important thing to be a daughter is filial piety. ”

The old lady was so happy that she praised again: "...... Look at this smart girl, when you are older, help your grandmother pinch your shoulders and beat your back, now you are still young, those small arms and legs, where is the strength of your eighth sister. ”

Xiao Shi was a little disappointed, and said with a sweet smile: "My sister-in-law made a watermelon in the well, and I went to ask my sister-in-law to cut it and bring some to my grandmother to cool off?" ”

The old lady didn't dare to eat more of these cold things because she was old, but when she saw the appearance of the ten little ladies looking at her, she was distressed and pitiful, and she couldn't bear to disappoint her, and she thought that she just asked the little sisters to eat some to relieve the heat, so she smiled and said: "How dare you go alone, let your seventh sister go with you, turn around, and let the grandmother enjoy the blessings of our little ten sisters." ”

Xiao Shi Niang listened to her grandmother's words, and finally got something to behave, so she jumped down from the chair with a "whoosh", took Qi Niang's hand, and went all the way.

Banniang looked at her Huan who was running on her calves, and said with a smile: "Usually my mother always said that I was frizzy, but I only looked at the tenth sister, and I was still good." ”

When the old lady Huang heard this, she nodded her forehead and scolded with a smile: "You are also a shameless person, how old is she, how old are you?" Compared to her four-year-old girl? ”

Banniang touched her head, pursed her lips and smiled, and said that she helped Liuniang equip the pattern of the dowry, saying that the second brother and his father thought it was good, and asked his grandmother to look at the palm of his hand.

When the old lady heard that it was for Liuniang, because Liuniang served by her side when she was a child, her feelings were not as good as others, how could she not care, but she urged Banniang to fetch it for her.

Banniang saw that the old grandmother was interested, so she naturally wanted to take it immediately, so she went to her own house in the backyard to get it.

Because Liuniang was talking about her dowry, she didn't squeak on one side, so she only waited for Banniang to go, and then she whispered: "Grandmother, our family is not rich, and now the idea of money is also earned by the eighth sister, and it is not a long-term solution. Grandmother turned around and told her father that Liuniang's dowry would be easy, and if the Wang family married to our family, she wouldn't care how much the dowry was. Besides, there are a few younger sisters below, and the dowry of the first three sisters when they got married was not rich, and they were special without Liuniang. ”

When the old lady heard Liuniang say this, she was inevitably a little sad, but she sympathized with her and patted her hand: "Grandmother knows in her heart, these things shouldn't be your worries." ”

When Liuniang saw that her grandmother showed her affection, she didn't dare to say more, and secretly thought that she had time to say it to her eldest brother or second brother.

But it was said that Banniang rushed to take a stack of patterns, and from time to time Qi Niang also brought Xiao Shi Niang with a plate of cut watermelon, and the old lady only symbolically took two bites and put it down, but Xiao Shi Niang ate happily by herself.

The old lady took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and took the pattern of Banniang to see, the bed, the dressing table, the flower stand, the piano table, the long case, the opening drum stool, the treasure chair, the low table, the flower table, the desk, the eight immortal table, the hanger, the cabinet, it is everything.

The old lady Huang also lived in Beijing for a long time, her great-grandfather was originally a scholar of the household department Langzhong, and then led the ministry of Langzhong, as the wife of the fourth grade, although her husband was an honest official, but she also went in and out of the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and she had seen wealth and nobility.

The others are good, only the style is chic, and the current simple furniture is slightly different, only the bed, but it is very atmospheric, the old lady pointed to the bed and asked Banniang: "What is the style of this bed?" Grandmother has seen a lot, but she has never seen anything like this. ”

The bed is a step shelf bed, the front three steps back, equipped with a moon hole frame, the frame is painted with a hollow carved drawing, one side is a magpie climbing the branch, one side is the four friends of the cold year.

Banniang explained with a smile: "This is also what I thought, one is that if such a bed is made, other people's homes do not have, it can also add a bit of brilliance to Liuniang's dowry, and the second is that this style looks very atmospheric, and there are carvings on it, and the magpie is a good metaphor for the branch, which is not only the great joy of the sixth sister's marriage, but also a metaphor that the sixth brother-in-law can get high school. And because the bed is going to be used for many years, it is okay to do anything else, but this bed costs more to make. But now our family can afford it. ”

The old lady nodded again and again: "It's hard for you to have a heart, I think so much about your sixth sister." This bed is good, even if my grandmother looks at it, I like it very much, and the other desks and other tables are also good. ”

While speaking, he handed it to Liuniang: "Sixth girl, you can see it yourself, if there is anything you don't like, just tell your eighth sister." ”

Qi Niang saw that Banniang painted every day, so she just took care of Xiao Shi Niang on the side. Because it is her own dowry, Liuniang is also curious, seeing that her grandmother asked her to look at herself, she also took it, at a glance, what she liked in her heart, and thought that this was Banniang's mind, those drawings were painted very carefully, and I don't know how much thought she used, and moved, and heartwarming, I didn't feel that there were tears in the corners of my eyes, and I smiled with tears: "Eighth sister, thank you." ”

"My sister likes it, I'm still worried about what I'm scribbling, I'm afraid my grandmother and sixth sister won't like it." Seeing that the corners of Liuniang's eyes were filled with tears, Banniang smiled, and took the cabinet again, and showed it to Liuniang, "Those cases are a few or something, the left and right are just more exquisite, but this cabinet, my sister has put a lot of thought, sister, you see, this cabinet is divided into two layers, the upper layer puts some things that are not usually used, and the two doors below are opened, and there are two spaces inside, one side can be hung with clothes, and the other side is a three-layer cabinet, which can be put on stacked clothes, and there are two drawers below, and you can also collect some things, and the door of this cupboard is lacquered, which also matches the bed. Does my sister like it? If my sister thinks something is bad, I will change it, and I will have to pass the Mid-Autumn Festival before I can hand over this pattern to the carpenter. ”

Liuniang's heart is warm as if she is about to melt into water, where is there anything she doesn't like, seeing Banniang ask her, she hurriedly said: "I like it, I like it, I ...... it."

Choked up for a while, and hugged Banniang into his arms.

Banniang didn't want her to drop the gold beads, although she knew that she was a happy tear, but in the end it was also a happy event, so she smiled and quipped: "The sixth sister hasn't gone out yet, and she has shed tears, isn't it that my sister is thinking about getting married now?" ”

Liu Niang was still grateful to her, but when she said so much, she couldn't help laughing, and she was so angry that she took a pink fist and began to greet her: "You bad girl, it's in vain that I just missed you." ”
