Chapter 2 Red Rope Copper Coins
Zhiwan woke up, those hosta earrings are all things with owners, no matter how thick-skinned the Zhao family is, they don't dare to steal it, but if she wants to hand over the things in her hand, it is to use a knife to rip out Liu's heart.
Liu, as the head of the Zhao family and the mother-in-law of several daughters-in-law, received hairpin earrings and instructed several daughters-in-law to take good care of Zhiwan.
In a daze, Zhiwan in the confusion also acquiesced to Liu's approach, she can't do anything else now except lie on the bed to nourish herself, the Zhao family saved her, she thanked them too, but this is almost a robbery and coercion in return, Zhiwan dare not agree.
It took two days to figure out the Zhao family, the head of the family, Zhao Dongcheng, the old man Zhao, married to Liu, has five sons and a daughter, and the daughter is Zhao Silian, who is fifteen years old this year.
The eldest son, Zhao Sifu, married his wife Wang, and had a daughter and two sons.
The second son, Zhao Sigui, married his wife Li and gave birth to two daughters and a son.
The third son, Zhao Siping, married his wife Fang and gave birth to three daughters.
The fourth and fifth sons are named Zhao Si'an and Zhao Siming respectively, and neither of them has ever married a wife, among which Zhao Siming is still a showman, and the biggest hope of the Zhao family lies.
Thinking of wealth and peace, judging from the Zhao family's name and recombination with the repeated requests to know the evening grace, the family loves money.
It is said that when she came back from the market, she saw her fainting on the side of the road, so she rescued her, and let her live in the main house, the Zhao family wanted to take Zhiwan's jewelry, only Fang's felt that it was wrong to do so, but unfortunately she did not speak enough, not only did she not convince Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but in the end she was sprayed by the group, and she couldn't even raise her head when she scolded.
Zhiwan occupied the main house of the Fang couple, the couple had to go to the house of the three children to lay the floor, and the Fang family got up two or three times at night to help her take care of the two children, this kindness, Zhiwan looked at it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, even if she didn't want to admit it, she is now the mother of two children.
Listening to Fang's words, when she gave birth to a child, she kept calling Yao's mother, in addition to this name, there are two, one is Bai Shao, and the other is Poria cocos, it should be the person who served her before, but I don't know where the person is now, how could it make her faint on the side of the road with a big belly, if it is said that she was robbed, but when Fang's husband and wife rescued her, the burden and jewelry were not lost.
All this is weird, this half a month, Zhiwan often thinks of a famous saying: knowledge changes fate, if she is not in a hurry to check a disease, she will not be smashed, let alone crossed.
Now, it should be a luxury to go back, and you can only come and be safe.
Zhiwan took a deep breath and spit out all the suffocation that had been half there, and listened to Li Shi ask on the side, "Miss Qin still hasn't remembered the past?" It's been half a month, why don't you see anyone looking for it? ”
Zhiwan shook her head helplessly, in fact, she was a little impatient to wait, and when she heard a cry coming from the house, Zhiwan walked back to the house, leaving Li standing there and stomping her feet, she actually ignored her and put a shelf for her young lady, she didn't know that the phoenix in the water was not as good as a chicken?!
The more Li thought about it, the more angry he became, turned around and entered the main house, and said to Liu, "Mother, it's been half a month, I've been serving her all day long, and I'm still washing the child's diapers, when will this day be the end?" ”
Liu glanced at Li lightly, and couldn't help but scold the pig brain, what's wrong with staying in Zhao's house, the longer she lives, the heavier this kindness becomes, save such a nobleman, no one in the village is envious, just take a hairpin, that is, one hundred and ten taels of silver, and only this stupid donkey will think about blasting people out, "She eats big fish and meat, and you eat less?" I see you've eaten more than she did, and if you're tired of eating, you'll save breakfast today. ”
Li's face was pale, and she couldn't wait to bite off her tongue, how could she say this in front of her mother-in-law, who is her mother-in-law, hasn't she seen it clearly all these years, that is, she asks her daughter-in-law to do more than a cow and eat less than a cat, it is best not to eat, drink two sips of water and be full, this water can't be used in the tank!
But think about it, she did not eat less fish and meat in the past half a month, her body and bones have made a lot of acquaintances, and several children have also worked hard to grow up, but what is the meaning of eating, you have to see the silver of white flowers, so that the heart is steady, she has married into the Zhao family for more than ten years, she has not changed the house, and now there are many children, crowded panic, and when you have silver, you can build a courtyard, it is best to get a four or five like a big family, and then ask three or five maids and women to serve, that is how people can live, Li knows that Liu also thinks so in his heart, coaxing the Liu family is a good word, not to mention the yard, how can you do this meal without eating?
Coaxed Liu to relax, Li said again, "Mother, the third brother and sister take care of Miss Qin, I haven't been working in the field for half a month, Miss Qin is out of the house today, let me take care of her for a day, my sister-in-law and I have helped the third brother and sister do work for half a month, it's too tired." ”
Liu glanced at Li, her face was cold, compared to doing farm work, taking care of people is naturally easier, she wants to do it, but she also has to be willing to be Miss Qin, Fang is her life-saving benefactor, in the Zhao family, she trusts Fang the most, if she changes someone else, will she be happy?
Liu's peeling melon seeds, she doesn't care who takes care of Zhiwan, as long as the work in the field is done, the wages of the caretaker are tightly grasped in her hands.
In order to be able to see whether the hairpin she wore was not beautiful, Liu bought a bronze mirror for the first time and came back, taking advantage of no one to take it twice, and each time she took it, she was depressed once, her skin was really not worthy of the white hosta, she was not worthy, and she thought about what this hairpin would look like on the heads of the rest of the Zhao family, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that she was inserting the white hosta into the cow dung.
I know that it doesn't look good to wear, but I can't help but try it on my head, after having a hairpin, Liu began to ponder, and after she is a hundred years old, who should this hairpin be given to her, give it to her daughter, that is, it is cheap for the future son-in-law's family, although Zhao loves her daughter, it does not mean that she loves people other than her daughter, after all, a good mother-in-law is not so easy to meet, like her, she was not forced to take out a marriage back then, if Si Lian is the same as her, then the hairpin is not greedy for ink by her in-laws, Liu will never allow it!
Fortunately, there is a pair of pearl earrings, although the rice grains are a little smaller, but the victory is full and shiny, this pair of earrings can be used as a dowry for Silian in the future, Liu wants to be worth three taels is good, but there is no bottom in his heart, and he specially went to the town to find someone to see, when he heard the shopkeeper's estimate, he was shocked, it was worth ten taels!
She doesn't understand what the shopkeeper said, how does she know what pearls are divided into, as long as they are worth them, they are good pearls, but unfortunately they are a little smaller, otherwise if they are three points bigger, the price will have to rise tenfold!
Liu's heart hurts when he thinks about it, ten times the amount of ten taels of silver, that's one hundred taels, why is it not three points bigger, this pearl earring is used as a dowry, how much dowry does the son-in-law have to use, and if he marries his daughter, there is a dowry of five or six taels, then it will be heavenly!
In the past, Liu thought that whoever could get a dowry of twenty taels would marry Silian, but after having pearl earrings, a dowry of twenty taels of silver, she almost gave her daughter to others for nothing, so Zhao Silian raised the price, not thirty or fifty taels, and refused to talk about marriage!
Liu's mood these days is very good, last year his son was admitted to Xiucai, this year is the triennial township examination, admitted, that is, the old man, tomorrow spring to Beijing to take the exam, she is worried about the entangled in Beijing, Shangyang Village is not far from the capital, relying on the legs to walk for more than half a month, you can get there in a carriage for two or three days, but after entering Beijing, you have to play a little, not to mention one or twenty taels of silver, this money must be taken, but after taking it out, half of the Zhao family's family has been dug up, but now there is a white hosta, Liu's heart was settled, and as soon as he was happy, he thought that it was okay to let the Fang family go out again, and it was best to save another noble lady to come back, then the Zhao family's life would be easy.
Liu was wandering, and a little girl ran in outside, seven years old, as soon as she entered the door, she threw herself into Li's arms, shook her hand and said, "Mother, Sister Qin tied a red rope copper coin to Brother Chen'er's feet, and you also tied one for me." ”
Before Li spoke, Liu was unhappy, the gold that the noble lady gave her just now, she had time to take it over, and the person was gone, it was all this little rabbit cub who made trouble, Liu was angry, spitting melon seed shells and scolding, "What copper coins are tied, can't you have more money?!" ”
Liu's voice was very loud, and the eardrums of the people who roared out were painful, Zhao Yumei was scared and cried, tightly tugging on Li's sleeve, Li's breath was panting, she was also frightened, and couldn't help scolding in her heart, the dead old woman, the money is so tight, I can't even give up a copper plate, wait for you to return one day, see who is filial to you, life does not bring death and does not take it, no one burns paper money, under the ground, you are poor!
Li patted Zhao Yumei and asked her not to cry, over there Zhao Silian stepped into the house, sat down next to Liu, raised the skirt, revealed a pair of white ankles, and asked with flying eyebrows, "Mother, do you think my red rope drift is not beautiful?" ”
Liu glanced at it, his face suddenly turned pale, he threw the melon seeds in his hand, raised his fist and hammered Zhao Silian, "Who told you to tie red rope copper coins to both feet, your unmarried daughter knows no shame!" ”
