Chapter 072: Human Whispers (2)

With this opening, it seems that there is nothing in front of it.

Akimoru tries a variety of ingredients. Zhen reminded her not to waste the ingredients, which were all bought with silver. Zhen actually remembered it wrong. The autumn pattern picks are all vegetarian vegetables, not bought in the market. It doesn't cost any money.

Zhen is worried about his godson, he has been in a trance recently, and he often wanders when he speaks, and he didn't mean to embarrass Qiu Wen. Qiu Wen understood the pain in Zhen's heart, and still poured her a bowl of pine cone tea, and said, "Mom, please deduct it from my monthly money." My wife has explained to me, but I can't let her down. As long as I let the uncle eat and drink well, I will be fine even if I spend some money. ”

"Don't get in the way of the uncle."

"Autumn pattern doesn't dare."

"What are you not afraid of? I see that you are quiet, scheming, and bold. ”

Zhen finished drinking the pine cone tea, and his spirit improved a little: "Let me ask you, do you really just want to be a girl who serves people?" ”

"Yes."

"Then the uncle's words are in vain. It's just a matter of disappointing my godson, and you dare to disappoint your uncle? If you really have backbone, I admire you too. It's just that the women in this world, no matter how smart and clever they are, no one wants to marry a good husband and get a good home. Uncle has the intention to pull you, are you really indifferent? ”

Qiu Wen understood the meaning of Zhen's words.

On that day, the uncle had already said this in front of the old lady. Later, the uncle also asked, and Qiu Wen politely refused. Since she promised her wife, she can't disobey her wishes, and she can do whatever she wants.

Xi Mo was also puzzled, and when she shook her head, she was also quite disappointed.

"What's wrong with letting you do a little light work? In fact, the study room does not need to be cleaned up. I just wish you didn't do anything every day. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ximo was also surprised.

These words have surpassed the tone of the ordinary master to the girl. It is true that in Ximo's heart, he did not treat Qiu Wen as a subordinate. He said that "closing the house" is out of the protection of autumn patterns. She became a person in the house, and with a reputation, others no longer dared to touch her. Ximo was born in everyone, and he has always hated the open and secret battles in everyone. This is true for one's own family, and the same is true for relatives.

Now that I think about it, I was insulting her by saying that.

Seeing Qiuwen's insistence, Ximo had no choice but to give up. Thinking about it, Fang said: "In terms of food, I don't seek luxury. You're very careful, but you're also delicious. In the future, it's better to keep it simple, don't spend too much physical effort and mental effort. ”

But Qiu Wen was frightened, and in the end he responded to his wife. It's not good to change the hexagram halfway.

"Uncle, it doesn't take much physical effort. If you don't serve you well, the slave will always be uneasy. The lady wanted to come back, and when she asked, the slave and maid could not explain. ”

Autumn Pattern has a bitter face.

Ximo smiled.

"I can lie. Also, didn't I tell you? Speak to me, and don't call yourself a slave. In my heart, you are not my girl. I've never treated you like a girl. ”

Autumn Pattern is a little panicked. It's not the uncle's girl, who is the uncle? In fact, she vaguely guessed the answer, but she didn't dare to think about it. Uncle still wants to take her?

If he insisted, would he have agreed?

If not, will the uncle be annoyed, and even cold her?

This kind of question scratched Qiuwen's heart like an ant, making her face blush and hot.

"Well, it's not okay to lie."

Her voice was as low as a mosquito humming.

"If I tell me to go down, how can my wife know? In this house, even if it is a normal diet, it is not bad. In my opinion, a person's blessings in the world are fixed, and it is always bad to cross them. With the usual vegetables, I feel at ease. ”

Autumn Pattern sighed.

"But you're everyone's son......"

"Everyone's son is also an ordinary person, and he also has to face illness and death."

Autumn Pattern was silent.

"I wish you could spare a little time to learn something else. For example, planning plates, such as practicing calligraphy...... "Autumn pattern is literate, then you should know a few more." She does things in an orderly manner, and if she learns to calculate, her heart will naturally be clearer.

Although Autumn Pattern blushed, she wanted to laugh in her heart.

She still whispered: "Uncle, the slave remembers that you asked the slave to spend a little more time on cooking before." What kind of feast is that there is no dispersion in the world, and when I leave the house in the future, there is one more craft, and it is also one more way......"

Of course, Ximo remembered what he said.

It's just that this time is also the same time, and that time is also. What remains unchanged is that his heart is the same, for her sake and for her good. "Learning more Braille and being able to plan dishes is more promising than being able to cook."

No matter how well the meals are cooked, they are just busy in the kitchen. Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. Ximo does not discriminate against other professions. But Qiu Wen is not a man, instead of sweating and holding a spatula, it is better to do some light work. In Jiangcheng, there are also female bookkeepers, female private school gentlemen, and female advocates and clerks.

"Qiuwen, you must remember that you can't say the word slave in the future. Otherwise, I'll be angry. You are a good person, and you are a smart person. Ten days a month, I'll teach you how to plan your plate. If you want, every afternoon when you have nothing to do, you can also practice calligraphy and read in my study. ”

He saw Akimo's self-motivation.

If you are self-motivated, he is willing to help.

For example, Chunqin, she is illiterate, and Ximo also has the heart to let her recognize a few words and not be blind with her eyes open. Helplessly, Chunqin only focused on the embroidery needlework, and Ximo had to give up.

Little boy is smart, clever and clever, but willing to read and write. Ximo became his enlightenment teacher. Because of the incident of Pan Niangzi last time, Qing'er was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors for a month. It just came out yesterday. The so-called thinking behind closed doors is naturally not to let him not go out of the door. Ximo ordered Qing'er to go to the stable, drive the horses, transport the fertilizer used in the Zhuangzi, go out early and return late, and go to bed after dark. The people in the grass house can't see the green at all.

After a month, Qing'er was taller, her skin was darker, and when she saw Ximo, her face showed a trace of calmness. This made Ximo happy, but his face was still faint.

Learn abacus and writing, and Autumn Pattern is naturally willing.

"Uncle, thank you first." Autumn Pattern saluted. This is the grace of the uncle, and I should thank him. But she still called herself a slave. This ceremony cannot be transgressed. If you trespass, you are wrong. There are ears everywhere in this house, and the Chunqin incident, isn't it just that Ying'er listened to the root of the wall outside? She was really scared. Be careful, always be right. "Uncle, slaves and maids are slaves and maids, and they were bought from inside and outside the house. The uncle treats the slave and the maid well, and the slave and the maid are grateful. Again, it's just a title. Please don't care about these little things. ”

Ximo sighed.

This autumn pattern looks harmonious, but it is actually stubborn.

He frowned, "You've been too cautious, too. ”

"It's good that the uncle understands the hardships of the slaves."

"That's it. I obeyed you first. ”

He was a little helpless, thought about it and changed the topic: "However, let you learn words, plan to plate, this, you are always happy, right?" ”

Autumn Pattern's eyes flickered, but his expression was hesitant.

"What, you're having trouble again?"

Qiu Wen thought for a few seconds, and said, "Uncle, the slave and maid agreed to Madame." To be a man of his word, and to be honest. Anyway, I have to let my wife know, and the slave and maid don't dare to act recklessly. Uncle, you have a good heart, slave and maid keep it in mind. Now the slave doesn't want that. Although the slave maid is a person from the grass house, she was dispatched by her wife. Later...... In the future, if there is an opportunity, the slave and maid will be willing to eat. ”

She said the words "sweet as food", and Ximo sighed even more.

"You are a gifted person. is as sweet as a glutton, there are not many girls in this house who understand these four words. You think about it, don't worry about my mother, if you have time, I'll go to Panlong Temple. ”

Qiu Wen hurriedly shook his head: "Uncle, no!" ”

"Why not?"

"The slave maid has only been in the house for a few months, and this is a fire in the small kitchen, even if the performance is better, it will have to wait for two or three years before it can be replaced, and the average performance will be burned in the kitchen for a lifetime. The slave and maid have already won a great fortune. Now, I am even more favored by my wife to serve your uncle's food, or what is not satisfied? This is not counted, the uncle also asked the slave to read and write, dial the abacus, the slave and the maid are only afraid that the blessings are not enough, but it will cause disaster! ”

Ximo's brow furrowed even tighter.

This autumn pattern is good anywhere, but it's a little too pedantic. No, she's not roundabout. She understands everything. If you are too careful, you will hesitate.

Ximo only wishes that the autumn pattern can be seen further. There are thorny bushes in the distance, but there are also better landscapes.

"Don't shake your head yet. I'll give you three days. Think about it, think about what people should live for, and how to live in order to live up to this life. ”

After Qiu Wen left the study, his heart was still agitated.

Uncle's words, like Zhong Chi, have been echoing in her ears for a long time.

She hadn't thought about this question, it was too deep, too deep for someone of her age and status to answer. The uncle threw out this topic coldly, and she didn't know how to pick it up.

Yes, how should people live up to their lives?

All she thinks about all day long is not to make mistakes, and to live in peace day after day. Back in the Xiafang, Qiu Wen closed the door, thought about it and thought about it.

But she's just a subordinate.

If the body is not free, what else can we talk about? She knows very well that the uncle is promoting her, pulling her, and treating her differently than others.

This is an opportunity.

In Shifu, there are not many maids who can plan to plan and read. No, there is no one at all. With these two skills pressed, with a little recommendation, he can already be a small manager who is in charge. What's more, I am not weak in needlework, and I can also cook.

She stood up.

Whether it's learning words or planning to plate, it will be bright and bright in the end.

That is to say, except for the grass house, the rest of the house, along with the master's subordinates, all know about it. It's not enough for the uncle to be enthusiastic alone. In case someone complains about a small complaint, saying that he is uneasy and wants to be a young lady in the uncle's house, he will inevitably be punished.

This night, Autumn Pattern passed in cranky thoughts.

Following.

Mrs. Yu suddenly wrote a letter to Ximo, saying that an old nun who had become a monk was going to enter the mansion. Now that he is here, let his son entertain him.
