The Bai family pays attention to the diligent and thrifty family, and the Bai Laohan's favorite sentence is "the rich are hard work, the poor are lazy, and the success is due to diligence and thrift, and the defeat is due to luxury", so even if it is a cat winter, everyone in the Bai family has something to do, unlike some farmers who do nothing except eat and drink in winter.

Bai Yingkui originally worked as a blacksmith when he was young, and later in order to let Bai Yingfu vacate his body to be a middleman, he went back to the mountain to farm, and now he goes to pull his feet in winter.

Although Bai Yinglu has a violent temperament, he has learned carpentry work, and in winter, he goes to the county or neighboring towns to find some way to live. This carpenter's work can usually be done for a few days if you find a job, and the host family will not only pay the wages but also provide food and drink, and entertain people with good tea and water, and the more particular people will have to be entertained with wine.

Coincidentally, Bai Yinglu is a person who loves to drink, so as soon as he finds a job, most of them go out to work early in the morning, and when they come back drunk at night, they have to beat their wives and scold their children, like what Xu Wenlan saw last night, I can't count how many times.

After eating last dinner today, Bai Yinglu just went out to look for a job again, if he couldn't find a job, he wouldn't say that he would secretly drink two sips at home at night.

Bai Yingfu is a middle-aged person in the county, not only running outside in winter, but also in summer, he doesn't have to follow the field to farm, and he plays with those two pieces of mouth all day long, but it is light.

Bai Yingtian, the fourth elder of the Bai family born by the Li family, never went to the ground. Since he was born, he has never done any hard work, unlike the two civil and military brothers, although they can't do too heavy work, but they also follow the field when they are busy farming.

Bai Yingtian entered school at the age of ten, and lived in the county school for most of the time, but now he has been in school for more than six years, but he has not even taken the exam as a child.

But Li didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and said, "Where is the imperial examination so easy?" Haven't you heard the words of the sixty boys? How old is my son, only sixteen, what's the hurry? This child, sooner or later, Xiucai will also be selected, and he will be the champion in the future! ”

Li's ah, he is simply partial to his own birth, I am afraid that Bai Yingtian is really seventy or eighty years old or a child, and he still thinks that he is a good son!

These are all guessed by Xu Wenlan by himself, but he thinks about it, and it is probably not far from the facts.

Although she has never seen Bai Yingtian, she has seen the White Lotus, just the pampered little aunt, she has always regarded herself as a young lady.

Ten fingers don't touch the spring water, then it's her.

In the Bai family, even Bai Cao'er, who is not even ten years old, has her own work to do, but I have never heard anyone call White Lotus to work.

Not to mention those housework, I heard that the white lotus has grown so big that she has never even cut a veil by herself.

"My aunt, embroidered handkerchief, can't embroider half a flower in a year......"

I have to say that when listening to Bai Cao'er's whispering, Xu Wenlan was slightly embarrassed.

Don't look at the people who complained about the white lotus when she was washing the dishes, she smiled very happily, but when she thought about it, what kind of cutting handkerchiefs, embroidery, cutting clothes, these skills that ancient women should have, she didn't understand everything!

Oh my God, is she also going to develop new skills?

It's not, I think she Xu Wenlan can't say that she won't be a female celebrity in modern times! In the DIY forum, she can be regarded as a senior water god, okay! Knitting sweaters, crocheting socks, tablecloths, embroidering cross-stitch, playing with rags and splicing or something, she can still do it, but her little bit of work is left in ancient times, so it is nothing, right?

With the abacus of developing new skills in mind, Xu Wenlan has been in front of Zhu when he was doing needlework.

"Mother, it's not cost-effective to dismantle this dress, you really don't have to make it for me......"

This half-new jacket is estimated to be reluctant to wear it by the Zhu family, but he is willing to tear it down and give it to her.

"What's not worth it? It's not for someone else. Zhu smiled and raised his hand to rub the needle in his hair, and smiled: "It's just that the color is too bright, and when the New Year's money is sent to the New Year, my mother will buy you a piece of flower cloth to make clothes - or you are good, like your brother and them, I don't know where to run to play for a long time." ”

"They're boys!" Xu Wenlan smiled and probed again: "Mother, you teach me to make clothes!" I'll make clothes for you and your father. ”

"Yo, but we're blessed."

was teased by the Zhu family, Xu Wenlan blushed a little: "I don't know too much work, I want to learn more." ”

Zhu's head tilted, looked at Xu Wenlan, and then smiled: "Mother told you that the work of your second aunt is called a good one, you go and see it now, she is going to do the work with grass?" ”

"Really? Okay, I'll steal the teacher, and I'll make big flower clothes for my mother later......" jumped off the kang, Xu Wenlan put on her shoes and ran out of the house with a smile.

Hearing her open the door and go out, Zhu pursed her lips and laughed: "What kind of flowers are you wearing when you are old?" ”

It's good to have a girl, it's much more intimate than a kid -

With a thought, Zhu looked up at the west chamber opposite, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Second aunt, I'm Wen Lan - I'm in?!" Still returning to the second room, Xu Wenlan shouted in the outhouse, and then entered the inner room, just in time to take a look at Bai Cao'er who came out.

"Wen Lan is here, come in and do it."

Wang is really working, but unlike Zhu, who is working on the kang, he is working by the window.

The layout of the second room is the same as that of the big room, except that the things are older, there are only mirrors and wooden combs on the dresser, and there are no hair flowers that are only worn.

Wang is embroidering a large size, I don't know if it's a screen or something, the embroidery frame is swinging, facing the window, because it's winter, although it's daytime, it's not too bright.

Xu Wenlan fixed his eyes and saw that the embroidery was a rich peony, and there were butterflies flying in the middle, and there were two civet cats playing under the flowers. Although she didn't recognize what kind of stitch it was, she only felt that the embroidery was vivid and vivid, whether it was a butterfly or a cat, it made people feel like they were alive.

couldn't help but praise out loud, Wang's face was flushed, pursed his lips and smiled, but his eyes were bright, although his face was still green, but he was like the previous Wang who was obedient and didn't even dare to speak loudly, it can be seen that she really likes embroidery.

"This is the screen that the county lord wants to do to congratulate his mother on her birthday, and the boss of Zhenlong Pavilion can trust my mother to do this work." Bai Cao'er raised her head and said, rarely showing a little smug look.

"The second aunt is embroidered well, and I don't know what kind of stitching it is, but I just think it's beautiful."

"This is Su embroidery, my grandmother was an embroiderer in Jiangnan in the early years!" Bai Cao'er's face lit up, and the cowardice in front of Li and Bai Yinglu swept away, which made Xu Wenlan can't help but look sideways.

"It seems that the embroidery work of the grass must be very good." This is not nonsense, there are still a few handkerchiefs on the small table on the side, which should be embroidered with white grass.

Xu Wenlan reached out and took a handkerchief, and was about to take a closer look, when he suddenly heard a scream.

Shocked, Xu Wenlan slowed down before she realized that it was the next room calling.

"Third aunt?" Bai Cao'er's eyes widened, and she was also in a daze.
