Chapter 122: Erniang's abacus
Hearing this, Sanniang looked at Erniang, frowned and asked, "What does the second sister mean?" ”
Erniang sighed and said, "When you and your eldest sister met us in Fangzhi Courtyard today, I had just finished teaching my fifth sister. I asked her to return the little fish on your forbidden step to you, I wonder if she returned it to you later? ”
Sanniang lowered her head, took out the turquoise fish with a long tail finger from the purse on her waist and spread it on the palm of her hand to show Erniang: "What did the second sister say?" The fifth sister has already returned it to Sanniang, and she said that she picked it up on the ground. ”
Hearing this, Erniang smiled bitterly: "I asked her to apologize to you, did she say that?" ”
Sanniang raised her eyebrows puzzled.
Erniang took Sanniang's hand and said seriously: "Third sister, we are both sisters in the third room, and we should be watching and helping each other." No matter what the fifth sister has done, if she really changes her mind in the future, I hope you can forgive her. It's okay for our sisters to be affectionately together. ”
Sanniang held Erniang's hand and smiled: "This is natural." ”
Erniang smiled with satisfaction, and sighed again: "I didn't want to talk about this matter, but the relationship between sisters is sincere, and the fifth sister has promised not to commit it again, I said that I know with you, and it is convenient for us to teach and discipline her well in the future." ”
Seeing Sanniang nodding, Erniang said again: "When we came down from the attic yesterday, the fifth sister found an excuse to go back alone. I was secretly aware of her strange behaviour at the time, and when you all went back to your yard, I went back to my study again before my father came back, and found this turquoise fish in a conspicuous place next to the bookcase. ”
Erniang was a little hated and said: "I took this fish back and asked the fifth sister what was going on, at first she refused to admit that she did it, and then I was forced to have no choice but turned to beg me to say that I didn't know about it." And put the fish back. How could I do such a thing? ”
"I taught her a good lesson at the time, but remembering that she had only been alone in Fangzhi Courtyard with an aunt who didn't have much knowledge for so many years, and there was no discipline, so I said that I would hide this matter and not tell you, so that she would not do this kind of thing to frame her sisters in the future, and she promised to do it well at that time. But ......"
Erniang paused a little sadly: "But in a blink of an eye, she took what I said as the wind that pulled my ears." Today she deliberately led us under the grape trellis, and led the sixth and fourth sisters to pick the sour grapes, and I thought she was acting differently. Later, I took my sister and my sixth sister to change their skirts, and she followed, but she called me aside and said that there was something to discuss. She asked me to give the fish back to her. She said that she wanted to apologize to you in person and admit her mistakes. When she repented, I gave her back the fish. I didn't want her to know that the sixth sister and the fourth sister also followed quietly, so she deliberately said something specious to me, and took the opportunity to lead the two sisters to my father's study, which I only figured out later. ”
"Fifth sister, she is so naughty. It should be disciplined. But because of her face, I can't tell my mother about it, so only the two of us who are sisters will be able to control her. I came back with my father to visit my family. I will definitely go back to Datong after that, and I still have to tell you about this matter after thinking about it. ”
Sanniang frowned when she heard this, as if she was thinking about Erniang's words, and said half-loudly: "Fifth sister would do such a thing?" ”
Erniang smiled bitterly: "I didn't believe it either. It was precisely because I didn't want to believe it that I was so sad after learning the truth of the matter. Third sister, are you willing to discipline the fifth sister with me in the future? ”
Sanniang said: "You are a sister." Sanniang should listen to you. The second sister said how to do it, and the third mother did it. ”
Erniang nodded with satisfaction: "This matter is related to the face of our third room, no matter how much we disapprove of what the fifth sister does, we still have to help her hide it." On the side of the fourth sister and the sixth sister, they can only make up for it in other ways in the future. ”
Sanniang smiled and did not object. Could it be that at this time, she could still jump out of nowhere and run in front of Wang Dong and say that it was the three of them who broke into the study, not Siniang and Liuniang, who were designed to go?
Erniang groaned and said: "Third sister, do you think this is good, I will mention it to my mother in a few days, and when we leave for Datong, we will take the fifth sister with us?" ”
Sanniang was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Erniang. Unsure: "What does the second sister mean is that you want your wife to raise the fifth sister in person in the future?" But Aunt Cui ...... there"
Erniang nodded: "The second sister is like this now, it is time to discipline well, Aunt Cui is a girl." I heard that I bought it from the market before, what insight can I have? When the time comes, I can only teach the fifth sister to be an ignorant person. The daughter of a small family who is difficult to get into the elegant hall is not beneficial to her future in the future. If she can be disciplined by her father's mother herself, and I am on her side, it will naturally be good for her. ”
Speaking of this, Erniang smiled: "As for Aunt Cui, if she is also sincere in her plan for the fifth sister, she should not refuse my proposal." After all, the concubine who is raised by his wife's side is a world of difference compared to a concubine who follows his aunt. Besides, she is just an aunt, as long as her grandmother and mother nod her head, even if she is unwilling, what can she do? We're always doing it for the good of the fifth sister. ”
Sanniang was in her heart, Erniang was a good idea, with Aunt Cui's care about Wuniang, they would go Wu Niang again was tantamount to coercion, and put a time bomb around her and Wang Jing. As for whether a so-called mother like Liu, who is away from her biological mother, can get benefits from her indifferent father and Liu, it's really hard to say.
And with Aunt Cui's character, she would never agree. Isn't there an insightful aunt? Sanniang couldn't help but want to laugh, there are not necessarily talents in the market.
But at this time, it was inconvenient for her to say anything, because Erniang was not asking her opinion.
So Sanniang nodded and said, "The second sister is still thoughtful, but I don't know if my wife will agree?" After all, my wife is also very busy. ”
Erniang was very happy when she saw Sanniang's approval: "You don't have to worry about this third sister, I will naturally persuade my mother." Besides, the fifth sister is also my mother's daughter, and she is no different from me. ”
Erniang paused, looked at Sanniang and said: "The third sister should come to Fangzhi Courtyard more often when she is free, although my mother doesn't say it, I also hope that you will be by her side to talk to her more." Although you and the fifth brother live in Hefeng Courtyard, after all, they are also from Fangzhi Courtyard. ”
Sanniang nodded and said with a smile: "What the second sister said is that I will go to Fangzhi Courtyard every day in the future to ask the master and wife for peace." ”
Erniang nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "It's not too early, I have to go back quickly." My mother just came back, and the ladies in Qingcheng County have handed over posts, so there is always a busy social, and I have to help keep an eye on things in the yard. ”
Sanniang got up and sent off: "I wanted to leave the second sister to sit for a while, and the two of us sisters also had to talk more." But my sister said that, I don't want to stay. ”
Erniang affectionately took Sanniang's hand and smiled: "I still have to stay at home for a few more days this time, is my sister afraid that she won't have a chance to speak in the future?" I'm afraid that the third sister will be upset by listening to too much of her sister's nagging in the future. ”
"How can you! The second sister naturally said good words, and Sanniang almost took paper and pen to write them down, and recited them silently three times a day. Sanniang blinked and said mischievously.
Erniang was stunned for a moment, and reacted that Sanniang stretched out her finger and flicked it on Sanniang's forehead after ridiculing, and said with a smile: "I am serious on weekdays, but I didn't expect that I was still a little slippery head, and I actually dared to make fun of me." ”
Erniang also laughed after speaking, and the two laughed together, so they didn't look intimate.
Sending Er Niang away, San Niang returned to the study, and went through the whole thing in her heart again, and finally could only sigh that these little girls about ten years old are really more powerful than the other. Could it be that the rice water of this time and space has eaten up the eyes of the long heart?
It's night, Fangzhi Temple, in Liu's room.
"Do you want me to take Wu Niang to work with me?" Liu Shi took the watermelon that Erniang handed her, and had carefully removed the seeds and threaded them with toothpicks, frowned.
Erniang buried her head in picking up watermelon seeds again: "It's just one more person to raise, and we can't afford to raise it." ”
Seeing that she was picking carefully, Liu couldn't help but say: "Just hand over the fruit plate to the maid to pick, why do you want to dirty your hands?" ”
Erniang carefully looked at the melon slices in her hand and said with a smile: "This is different." As he spoke, he poked it with a toothpick and handed it to Liu's mouth, and Liu's subconsciously opened his mouth to eat.
"How? The taste is different from the one picked by the daughter, right? Erniang took a toothpick and looked at Liu's Dao.
Liu shook his head and looked at his daughter with disgust: "You." ”
Sanniang cleaned her hands in the copper basin placed on the side, took the snow-white cotton towel handed over by the maid, wiped her hands dry, walked to Sun's couch, and sat down with her.
Liu gave way to the inside so that her daughter could sit more comfortably.
"My daughter has been watching these days, Wu Niang is very close to and trusts San Niang." Erniang leaned on Liu's arms and said softly.
Liu sneered: "How about that? Are you still afraid that they will join forces to fight against me? Aunt Cui is just a dog I kept in this yard, and she has always been submissive. ”
Erniang's delicate brows furrowed: "Mother, don't forget, Aunt Cui used to be the person next to her, since she was able to bite her master and turn to you, do you know that she will not repeat her old tricks in the future?" There is a way to be unfaithful once and not to use it a hundred times. Don't be fooled by her apparent obedience. ”
Erniang glanced at Liu's family, and there was some worry in her eyes: "Besides, although there are only the fifth brother and the third brother and sister left in Hefeng Courtyard, the fifth brother is a man after all." "It's still the only man in the third room now, Erniang silently added in her heart. ()
