The four of them talked for a while, and inevitably mentioned Jia Cong and Zhen Yinglian who went to Italy.

Yingchun said: "When I just left, I received a letter from my second brother, saying that he had arrived in Milan. He also invited me to bring my sisters over, saying that they were going to Rome for a visit. It's just that I can't be idle, and I'm about to leave, and I'm afraid that my sisters won't be disappointed if they go, so I asked Sister Bao to take them over.

"Counting the time, I'm afraid they have already played once by this time, and they would have already returned to London. It's just that this time the second brother and we didn't go to the same place, but went to Italy. ”

Jia Jin replied to his sister: "It was my father's decision to study art, or Italy and France to be better." England is a place for trade, but not for art. ”

Yingchun smiled and said to him: "I heard that someone was supposed to accompany the second brother, but he couldn't hold back?" Which kid is here, I want to think? ”

Jia Jin blushed and said, "It's not that I don't accompany the second brother, it's just that when the second brother left, I went to Jiangxi with the eldest brother." My eldest brother's factory wants me to help, I can't help but go, right? ”

Jia Lian saw that this kid was blatantly using himself as a shield, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, yes, the third brother is a busy man, at a young age, he has to help the eldest brother and take care of the second brother, and he is really inseparable." In the end, I had to stick to my eldest brother first, and wronged your second brother to go alone. ”

Jia Jin looked at the eldest brother a little speechlessly, and said coldly: "Then don't ask me to improve the machine in the future, how old am I, and I am still a child." ”

Yingchun saw that his younger brother was angry, so he hurriedly laughed and coaxed him not to be annoyed, and then diverted the topic to talk about other things.

When talking about how he moved to Guangzhou, Yingchun realized that his mother had a fight with his grandmother before, and his mother still didn't know what his grandmother thought.

Wang Xifeng talked about this and said busily: "Yes, it's time to find a time to tell the old lady's thoughts to her wife, and it will save you from misunderstanding all the time." ”

Jia Lian hurriedly glanced at the third brother, and when he saw the third brother's calm look, he breathed a sigh of relief: "You are a human spirit, I'm afraid you have already guessed it?" ”

Jia Jin said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter if you say it or not, my mother doesn't hold grudges, and she has guessed some of them." Now you see that she has a grudge with the capital, where does it look like there is a grudge? Before leaving, she and her aunt had reconciled, but she hadn't made it clear to her grandmother. ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked: "You know, why don't you tell us, we have been worried." ”

Jia Jin smiled slightly: "Didn't you tell me either?" ”

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng immediately took care of the loss, they really never told the third brother about this.

It's not convenient to stay here for a long time in the spring, and everyone still has their own things to do. So Jia Lian sat for a while and then got up to say goodbye, and easily grabbed Jia Jin, who had been hiding from him for several days.

When Wang Xifeng was the only one left, Wang Xifeng said to Yingchun: "What are your plans to come back this time?" ”

Yingchun thought for a while and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being, what advice does my sister-in-law have?" ”

Wang Xifeng said: "What you studied in college is literature, and this literature is all done by men. Western literature is very different from ours, and I really asked you to write a poem, I'm afraid that people will think it's bullshit. ”

Yingchun couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really like what my sister-in-law said, now English is popular without rhyme, and I prefer prose." By the way, I brought a lot of books back this time, and my sister-in-law just came to me to get them. ”

Wang Xifeng was curious to follow Yingchun to see the books she brought back, and after flipping through a few books, he said a little sneeringly: "I've only studied for two years, and it's okay to say that it's okay, but it's really a bit difficult to read." ”

Yingchun said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is not in a hurry, I promised my mother to translate a copy of Robinson Crusoe for her to read." You have to see another translation, but you have to wait a few days. ”

Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long does it take to translate a book?" ”

Yingchun looked at the book and estimated it: "If it is a collection of poems, I am afraid it will be finished in one or two days." But if so, it is difficult to say whether it will be as little as ten days or as much as a month. ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "In this case, you come with your mother first, I am so busy here every day that my feet don't touch the ground, and I don't have much time to read." ”

Yingchun really began to translate, and after coming back that day to rest and recuperate, and seeing Jia Liang in the evening, she rushed into the room and began to translate behind closed doors.

At first, she could translate one or two pages of words and sentences one night after another, and as soon as the translation was complete, she couldn't wait to show it to Xing Shuang.

Xing Shuang smiled and said nothing after reading it, and Yingchun hurriedly asked: "What does my mother think, is this book extremely interesting?" ”

Xing Shuang put down the page and asked Yingchun with a smile: "You said that you love these two books because their language is plain and smooth, like telling a story." But I tell you stories on weekdays, is it so literary? ”

Yingchun was stunned, took a few chapters that he had translated, read them carefully, and suddenly realized.

She lost the biggest feature of the whole book, and it's no wonder that her mother didn't love it. When translating, she actually translated it into a boring and difficult written language according to her usual habits.

Yingchun was also hard-hearted, and directly tore up the pages of paper, looked up and said to her mother: "You wait for me for two more days!" ”

Xing Shuang smiled, looked at her daughter's stubborn back, and said in her heart that this child might be able to show a way on his hair here.

Thinking of this, she instructed Jin Chuan: "Let the kitchen cook more spinach and pork liver dishes these days, and send them to the eldest girl, these two things are for a clear purpose, the child's temperament is up, I'm afraid I'm going to stay up late." ”

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, sure enough, of course the spring greeting stayed up until more than one o'clock in the evening. Until the candles in her yard were all lit, Yingchun asked Si Qi to go somewhere else to ask for candles.

Si Qi persuaded: "Girl, stop it, it's only been a few days since you came back, so let your wife worry about you?" This thing is not done in one step, and the translation is in a hurry, and there is a mistake, isn't it a waste of effort? Wait until dawn to write well, see clearly and not speak, and your mind will be clearer. ”

Yingchun listened to the maid's persuasion, and then changed his clothes and went to bed. It's just that during the day, Si Qi went to get a lot of candles and came back, and he still fought at night.

Three days later, she finally finished translating the first chapter, and as soon as she finished translating it, she eagerly took it to her mother and begged her to read it.

Xing Shuang looked at her daughter's two dark circles, shook her head, and looked down at the translation. This time she laughed: "It's really a very people-friendly way of writing, and the writing is vivid and interesting, as if everything is happening in front of you, and it is indeed an interesting script." ”
