Chapter 28 The blue field is warm and the jade is smoking
was satisfied, but suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, her face changed, and she hurriedly got up to go to the toilet. This look is a little embarrassing.
This body hasn't had a period for a long time, so that she almost forgot that her aunt is going to visit, thinking about Jian Sanniang's memory, Jian Ning feels a little scary.
At this time, there is no "bread" to use, so sanitary belts are used. The so-called sanitary belt is actually a small cloth bag, which is generally filled with plant ash, which is tied around the waist when used, and people who are more particular about it will use paper to lay it down, or stuff cotton in the cloth bag.
However, because the water absorption of new cotton is not good, more plant ash is still used. The sanitary belt is used repeatedly, and because of the problem of the concept of the time, many people dare not dry it in the open, so the probability of getting sick can be imagined.
Thinking of this, Jian Ning shuddered. Not long ago, she asked Zhang's mother to make a lot of sanitary belts for her, and also bought a lot of paper with good water absorption.
After getting dressed, carrying her skirt, she went upstairs, and took out all the sanitary belts in the bedside table, she looked at it with a complicated expression for a long time, and then let out a long sigh, got up and went to the door, and shouted, "Mother Zhang, you come down." ”
"Whoa."
Zhang's mother came up quickly, and when she saw the things in Jian Ning's hand, she was immediately overjoyed, "Sir, are you menstruating?" I've got it ready for you, I'm going to get it for you!" ”
With that, he turned around and went out to get the ashes.
Jian Ning looked at her happy appearance, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she didn't know that she was going to menstruate, what was her old man so happy to do?
For a few days, Jian Ning looked a little embarrassed. Jian Sanniang is actually in good health, that is, after her father died, she suffered some hardships that led to malnutrition. These days, I will be raised for a period of time, and my body has also recovered its vitality, and there is no menstrual cramps.
It's just that although there is no such painful thing, the backward sanitary conditions also make Jian Ning a little unable to keep up. For several days, I was lying in the boudoir, and I didn't write any more books.
After finally surviving the difficult days, she slowly recovered some of her spirits, and Hu Yanshu also received a letter.
Jian Ning opened the letter and saw two lines of words written on it: There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking.
She stared blankly for a while, and after a long time, she let out a soft sigh and said to the little servant of the Hu family: "Say hello to your son on my behalf, I have made some cleaning things recently, which is quite good, and it is my intention for you to take some." ”
"Yes, sir."
Watching the little guy withdraw from the patio, Jian Ning looked at the words on the letterhead again, and was silent for a while before he said in a low voice: "Brother Yanshu, I'm sorry......"
A poem from Li Shangyin's "Jin Se", Jian Ning already understood the meaning of Hu Yanshu.
Each line of Jin Se's poem carries an allusion, and the hazy method of expression has been controversial since the poem was written.
Some say it's the author's fantasy, others say it's a eulogy. Anyway, at this time, Hu Yanshu pulled out these two lines of poetry, and Jian Ning thought that what he wanted to express was more mourning.
The relationship that mourned him ended before it began, just like the heroes and heroines Han Zhong and Ziyu in "Jade Shengyan", even though the two are happy, they are separated by yin and yang.
And Jian Ning's ruthlessness is like the separation of yin and yang for Hu Yanshu.
So, they'll just be friends. Jian Ning deliberately asked the little maid to wrap some soap in the past, that is, to let Hu Yanshu understand that although she had no affection for him, she also respected him as a person, and if he wanted, they could still be confidants.
The love affair between men and women is always entangled, just like Jian Ning is now writing the biography of the cook. In the first book, Sanxiao gets the guidance of the fairy in her dream and knows how to cook against the sky, and then in the second book, she will be given to the left servant (prime minister) by the master's family, and then meet the prime minister's son, which is the so-called male protagonist......
This must be an entangled story, so Jian Ning, who is looking at Hu Yan's letter, will also think, if he is a third smile, what will he do? I thought about it many times, but I shook my head. would rather give the farmer as his wife than the prince as a concubine, Hu Yanshu's family background is too high, even if he has that meaning to him, he will not want to marry him.
There are too many rules, the family is too large, and the exchanges are too tiring. She is lazy and likes to live simply.
Hu Yanshu's matter is over. She sent soap, and within two days, when it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hu Yanshu sent someone to send moon cakes over, and also wrote a letter to tell her that Lu Ju's sales and Sanxiaochuan had been engraved, and it would be available the day after tomorrow.
Jian Ning's books are now sold for 12 taels of silver, like the three laughing legends, because a book of 30,000 words, so it will be sold for 15 taels, and the wholesale price of 1,000 copies will cost 11 taels of silver a piece, even the inferior version will be sold for 400 taels a piece, and the wholesale price is more than 300 wen, and Jian Ning's creative speed is really fast, those booksellers want to bargain, but Mr. Jinling's speed is really fast, so they have to compromise with Hu Yanshu, a profiteer, pinching their noses and eating high-priced books. Back in his hometown and sold to other readers for an even more terrible price.
The family already has a lot of money, and in just a few months, Jian Ning has saved more than 10,000 pieces of family wealth. Looking at this amount of money, Jian Ning was a little worried.
Now the amount of money coming in her monthly account is terrible, and most of this silver has been exchanged for gold for her, and she hides it in her bedroom.
Tomorrow, she plans to find a tooth man, buy some land and real estate for herself, and live the life of a charter wife, isn't it comfortable?
Just do it, the next day, Jian Ning asked Zhang's mother to find the official tooth to come over, said her request, stuffed some silver, and said: "I also want to help a lot of people, this field is best to be contiguous, even if it is not contiguous, it is not too far away, it is best to be outside the city, so it is convenient to go and check." ”
"Don't worry, lady, I'll keep an eye on you."
After a pause, he said, "This is the house, where do you want it?" ”
"It's okay in this Jinling City, but I have a request, no one can die in that house, and there can be an exception for those who are old and dead."
"I know, I know."
"It doesn't matter if it's decorated, as long as it's in order. The size is moderate, I want to rent it to others, and my daughter's family does not produce anything, so I can only live on this. ”
The tooth man nodded again and again, and situations like Jian Ning's were actually not uncommon. Changzhou is a big city, and the houses in the city are thriving, and its buyers are frequently replaced, such as renting.
After writing down Jian Ning's request, he said: "Little lady, don't worry, you wait for my news, I will inquire for you, and I will reply in ten days." ”
Jian Ning nodded and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
After sending the tooth man away, Jian Ning said to Zhang's mother: "Clean up, let's go out for a walk." ”
"Where does the gentleman want to go? I'll let Fu Da set the car to go. ”
"Let's take a walk, I heard that there is a drama in the teahouse at the corner of the street, let's take a look at the excitement. You go and call the second brother back now, and I'll change my clothes. ”
"Oh, good!"
As soon as Second Brother Jian heard that he was going out to play, he immediately followed Zhang's mother back, and shouted when he entered the door, "Sanniang, Sanniang, are we going to listen to the play?" ”
Jian Ning smiled and said, "It's boring at home, let's go out to play." ”
After a pause, he said: "Brother, I've told you many times, I'm dressed as this man, you have to call me third brother, don't call me Sanniang." ”
"But you are Sanniang, not the third brother!"
The second brother still couldn't understand why he was doing this, "Why do I have to call you third brother every time you wear this dress?" ”
Jian Ning tiptoed, the fan tapped on the door of his head, and said, "How can there be so many why?" You're not listening to me? Remember, when I wear this dress, I can only call my third brother or San Lang outside, do you understand? ”
"Okay."
Second Brother Jian touched his head, struggled for a few seconds, and then said with a smile: "Sanniang, the newly opened teahouse at the corner of the street is good, when I was playing outside, I heard people inside telling stories, singing songs, and many delicious foods." I wanted to go in, but Fu Da said that there were so many people there that we were stupid and couldn't go in. ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, "Sanniang is smart, Sanniang can go in!" ”
Jian Ning smiled and said, "Then why don't you leave quickly?" What else is there to rub into? ”
"Whoa!"
The family went out, and as soon as they went out, they met their neighbors, and when they saw Jian Ning's dress, everyone laughed, but they didn't care.
Jiangnan has an open atmosphere, and there are many women who dress up as men. In fact, since the beginning of this period, the aristocratic women still wear hedges, veils and other things when they go out. Ordinary people, it has long been gone. As for the poor? Sorry, we might as well buy some rice if we have the money to buy a hedge!
"Jane's lady, go out to play?"
Jian Ning nodded, "Take my brother out for a walk, and I'm sulking when I stay at home every day." ”
"It's good to go out for a walk! It's the most comfortable time of day. ”
Jian Ning smiled and nodded, "I heard that there is a teahouse at the entrance of the street, so I'll take my second brother to play." ”
"That's a good feeling, I heard my family say, and now the teahouse is talking about Mr. Bai Xiaosheng's new paragraph, which is good! Oh, I won't delay you, go quickly! ”
"Whoa."
Bidding farewell to their enthusiastic neighbors, the group walked to the corner of the street, and saw that the newly opened teahouse store was not big, but the business was very good, and the lobby on the first floor was already full.
"How many objective teasers?"
Jian Ning nodded, "Is there a seat?" ”
"Yes, yes! Objective, please come with me! ”
Upstairs, the little guy pointed to a place and said: "The location here is good, our shopkeeper invited the puppet show in Yangzhou, and the performance will start later, and I can see it clearly when I sit here." ”
Jian Ning nodded, "You put the curtain down, we have a lady here." ”
"Howler! What to drink objectively? ”
"Give these people some drinks, I'll have a pot of white tea, and you can watch some other melons and fruits."
"Howler!"
The storyteller on the first floor knocked on the board, "Do you want to say that Jiang Erdan's change of heart can be lifted?" Let's listen to the next breakdown......"
"That's it? Hey, boss, you guys talk twice a day, when do you have to go?! We don't want to watch puppet shows, we want to listen to Lu Juju! ”
"Yes, you have to listen to Lu Judgment!"
"Sir, your story is so good, it's so popular everywhere!"
Zhang's mother looked like she was honored again, and said with her chin high: "They don't know that you wrote it, if they know, the threshold of our family is afraid that it will be broken by the person who proposed it!" ”
