Eighty-three: Shoes
The next day, almost everyone woke up late, because they had slept late the night before.
Cheng Yuanhuai came back from the palace with his wife and children, and brought a lot of royal gifts, from food to clothing, it can be said that he has everything.
The Shu brocade sent by Ning Guogong yesterday came in handy today, and the old lady ordered new clothes to be made, except for the two girls in Yingxiaju, one for each of the other girls.
Although Su Yao felt that it was inappropriate, he thought that the Cao family mother and daughter had caused a lot of things in the past six months, and the old lady didn't want to see it, so she secretly used her own money to buy two good horses and sent them to Yingxiaju, which was not as cheap as the Shu brocade sent by the Ningguo Mansion, but it was not cheap.
However, this did not make the two daughters grateful, but they were so angry that they couldn't eat.
"Daddy, this is pity for us? If you really feel distressed, you should go back to the old lady and ask her to bring back the three Shu brocades of Qinzhuxuan and give them to us! What good clothes do their daughters have? It's clear that he deliberately looks down on us! ”
The kitchen invited the master to make fresh fruit pastries, this fruit is only eaten during the New Year, red and sweet, it looks like a blessing word, and the red dazzling blessing word is like being sealed with wax.
Song Yin walked towards Qinzhuxuan with the fruit, thinking about giving it to her own girl, but was stopped by Zhaolu head-on.
"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be Sister Songyin."
The four words of Sister Songyin, Zhao Lu bitten heavily, almost gritting her teeth.
Song Yin ignored her and turned sideways to leave.
But Zhaolu obviously didn't intend to let her go like this, stretched out his foot and tripped her fiercely, and the fruit he was holding fell to the ground in an instant.
"What do you do!" Huaixiang came out of her house, planning to dry the freshly washed handkerchief, but she didn't want to see Songyin fall to the ground, so she hurriedly ran over to help her up.
"It was she who was careless, and she broke the fruit for the girl, and I don't know what the girl thought, she actually let such a hairy thing serve you closely, beware of breaking something valuable and asking for your life!"
After speaking, Zhao Lu walked away.
Song Yin was very aggrieved, his knees hurt, and he picked up the fruit that fell on the ground in a panic, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.
"How is that good? The master of the fruit is gone, and I'm afraid I can't make it anymore, and the girl hasn't eaten it yet..."
Mother Zhao happened to come out of the house at this time, frowned slightly when she saw this scene, and asked a few questions.
Huai Xiang told everything she saw.
"This trick is not restless at all." Mother Zhao looked at the fruit, "That's it, ten girls and five girls are there, the five girls don't like too sweet and greasy, I think they will be distributed to the eleventh girl, you go back and tell the girl about this, Zhaolu can't continue to stay!" ”
Songyin tearfully agreed, and entered the house.
Su Yunyao was wearing a rose-colored cardigan jacket with a circle of white soft hair on her neckline to prevent her neck from freezing.
Lisheng waited for her to make up, and just after finishing her work, she saw Songyin come in, and her face was obviously wrong.
"What's wrong?" Su Yunyao asked.
Song Yin said that Fang had just stretched her legs to mess with her, and her tone was very aggrieved, but she deliberately held back her tears, and her eyes were red.
Lisheng sighed and patted the ash on her clothes, "In the past, when Lixi was there, she also bullied Lixi with a gun and a stick, but Lixi is an old maid, and she doesn't dare to go too far, she doesn't want to be like this to you, it's really infuriating." ”
Su Yunyao smiled knowingly, "Since she is bent on dying, let's not delay her, Lisheng, you go to Mother Zhao, let Mother Zhao take her deed to Su Ningyuan to find Mother Qiu, whether to sell or send to do rough work is up to the eldest lady to decide." ”
Lisheng nodded, "The girl gave her a chance again and again, but she is still so ignorant, it would be better to send it away earlier." ”
Qin Manhuai sent someone to inform Zhao Lu that afternoon that she would go to the kitchen to do rough work, and she didn't need to do any work, she was just a firewood bearer, and moved the firewood chopped by others into the kitchen.
She has to pour any dirty water, as well as brush wooden barrels and wash vegetables, almost all the dirty work is hers.
It's also hard, but serving in Qinzhuxuan is much more comfortable than serving in the kitchen, Zhaolu can't believe that the girl really sent her, and immediately knelt down and shouted in the yard.
It had to be Mother Zhao and Mother Qiu who were ruthless, and as soon as they sang and harmonized, they said that they would send her to Zhuangzi to feed the cattle and sheep and shovel manure, and she was so frightened that she couldn't shed tears immediately, even if she was reluctant, she followed Mother Qiu.
The fruit was ruined, Su Yunyao was not unhappy, her fifth sister ate less, and gave her several pieces left, and the tenth sister also gave her six pieces, not only her, but also her maids.
"I heard that the third sister and the seventh sister have been pestering the kitchen mother to teach them how to make fruit recently." Su Moyao said while eating, "Don't think about it, it must be to please Daddy, their ideas are careful, that's nothing more than these." ”
Su Yunyao smiled, "On weekdays, the tenth sister doesn't care about this, but when it comes to the third sister, the seventh sister and the second lady, your ears seem to be pricked up!" ”
"If it weren't for their Yingxiaju's single-mindedness to oppose us, I wouldn't have time to pay attention to them!"
Su Yingxiao was grounded for half a year, and his old friends came to him to go out for dinner, because it was not good to circle again during the Chinese New Year, so Su Yao agreed to let him go out.
But when I went out this time, I heard that Mo'er went to Meng Ruoqian's house again, and no one knew what she said, anyway, Mo'er wiped her tears when she came out.
Then Su Yingxiao came back drunk from outside, asked him where he ate, he didn't say, he couldn't tell how much wine he ate, the smell of wine on his body was smoky, and he was carried back by two little guys one by one, and shouted in the yard, "Don't go!" Pour another glass! ”
This scene was seen by Qin Manliu and Cheng Yuanhuai, and they almost laughed out loud.
Qin Manliu only said, "Fortunately, my Tao'er is not such a child, otherwise I am afraid that I will be angry to death." ”
And Cheng Yuanhuai frowned, "Don't mention that word for the New Year, it's weird!" Our Tao'er is a real child, how can he be like him? ”
On the second day of the New Year, as usual, they had to worship their ancestors, and everyone in the Su family went to the ancestral hall together.
Su Huiyao and Su Yuyao were extremely reluctant to go, and they were locked up in the shadow in the family ancestral hall.
Su Yao lit a few sticks of incense and said what he would say every year, roughly asking his ancestors to bless the Su family with all the best, safe and sound, no illness or disaster, a few brothers studying and a few girls getting married smoothly, the old lady being healthy, and his own career going well.
Then there are the elders worshipping, and then the concubines, sons, and concubines.
However, when it was Su Wanyao's turn to worship, she was the youngest, her body was thin and her face was red, as if she was sick, and she was trembling and was helped up by Liu's mother and returned to Ning Xuan, and the Su Qianyao sisters who saw it had been nervous in their hearts.
Su Yao was a little puzzled, "Why is Wan'er's body still like this, and the fourth lady hasn't seen well?" ”
The old lady leaned on the chair and sat down, "How do you care about the second lady's body all day long, how can you care about the fourth lady?" Wan'er is reluctant to speak, and good people have to find faults. ”
Kang Jinglan echoed on the side and said, "There are a lot of good medicinal herbs sent to Ning Xuan, but the body of the fourth lady is not good, and I think it is a heart depression and heart disease." ”
Cao Qianlian's face changed, and Su Yao's face was not very good.
Indeed, Cao Qianlian said that he was sick all day long, but every time he saw the doctor, he couldn't say why, he was probably resting well, tired of illness, or suffering from a cold and a headache.
In contrast, Liu He lingered on the sickbed all day long, and he was very sick.
"You don't go to Yingxiaju on weekdays, but you go to Tingningxuan more to see, the fourth lady gave birth to a child for you, it's not good to treat her so much." The old lady looked at Cao Qianlian as she spoke, she kept her head down, as if she was obedient, but no one knew what she was thinking.
Su Yao couldn't get off the stage, "What my mother said is that the second lady often asks me to visit, but my son has been really busy recently, so next time I will take time to go to Tianning Xuan to sit!" ”
Saying this, Su Yao himself blushed.
Cao Qianlian couldn't wait to tie him to Yingxiaju all day long, where did he mention a word that made him go to Tianning Xuan? also opened his mouth and closed his mouth to say that his pain was painful, which made Su Yao inevitably think of his aunt Qin Manliu's words.
People who are really aggrieved can't cry, on the contrary, the one who cries loudly may not be so aggrieved at all.
This is especially applicable to Liu He, she is obviously not in good health, but she has not once made a noise to call Su Yao, and recuperates quietly, even if the illness is serious, she does not say anything to make Su Yao upset.
Cao Qianlian's work in this place is indeed not as good as Liu He.
In the afternoon of the same day, Su Yao arrived at the Tingning Xuan, as soon as he entered the door, there was a strong smell of medicine, the doors and windows were closed and not breathable, and there was a cold feeling in the house even if the earth dragon was burning.
Liu He didn't make any waves when he saw him, on the contrary, Su Wanyao was very happy.
"Father came to see Wan'er and Mother?"
Su Yao touched her head, "Father also brought you a gift, go see if you like it or not." ”
The little guy behind him was holding a box, which was a pair of embroidered shoes, the style was very beautiful, and there were two little white rabbits on the tips of the shoes.
It's a pity that these shoes are a little bigger, and Su Wanyao is like two boats when she wears them.
Su Yao really didn't care about this little daughter, and he didn't know how big her feet were. Seeing this scene, Su Yao's face was panicked.
Su Wanyao was still sensible, raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "Father is really attentive!" It's just right to wear these shoes when Wan'er is older! The fifth sister and the eldest lady and the third lady all bought me new shoes, and the shoes for this year and next year are enough, but my father has prepared all the shoes for the future! ”
Su Yao also smiled in agreement, and his heart was sour.
Indeed, he owes too much to Liu's mother and daughter.
"Big lady, three ladies, what kind of shoes did they buy for you?" Su Yao asked with a smile in passing.
When Su Wanyao heard this, she was about to go and get those shoes to show him, and stretched out her little feet, "This is sent by Mama Zhou next to my grandmother, and this is made by Mother Liu." He took out a delicate box with a few pairs of shoes in it, "This is the fifth sister who bought it, this pair of plum blossoms was bought by the eldest lady, and this pair of red gangs was sent by the third lady!" ”
