Chapter 184: No Mouth
Xing Shuang finally chose a feather mat, and there are chickens and ducks consumed at home every day, and these maids have accumulated a lot of chicken down and duck down to wash and dry for later use, so it is not troublesome.
In the afternoon, when Yingchun Tanchun returned to Qingyuanju after class, this colorful cloud Caixia had already made two cushions and put them in the carriage.
Yingchun walked to the door with her sister, and saw the Western carriage, she was curious and took her sister in to sit, although she didn't let the car move, but she also felt very comfortable. So she took her sister to the upper room, and greeted her mother, and then brought up the carriage.
"Mother, how long will it take to make this car, can I give me one?"
Xing Shuang glanced at her and smiled angrily: "If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, do you know how cumbersome this car is?" I'll give you one back, and now this one will be given to the old lady first, and you'll have to get on it first. ”
Yingchun hurriedly said: "I am naturally behind the elders, but I don't want this car for nothing, I naturally want to help my mother show off." It's not the Shi family who sent the post, we are going out a year ago, we have this car, let people see it, and help my mother publicize it. ”
Xing Shuang almost forgot about this, Shi Xiangyun's parents died when she was an infant, and she was living in Shi Nai's house at this time.
Although there are many historians, the days are not as good as day by day. Since Shi Xiangyun's parents' generation, although the three brothers are all Houmen, their lives are poor and embarrassing. I can't see it from the outside, but I know the door of this wealthy family, but I can see it at a glance.
When Xing Shuang first came, he was based on the principle of self-preservation and only wanted to be unique. But since the call has been a long time, she also knows that in this era of complicated relationships, she can only protect herself, and she can't be alone, after Jia's mother took her past relatives, she began to have contacts with the Shi family.
Although there are not many contacts, it is just that the Shi family is brought with them during the banquet, or the New Year's gift is given to the Shi family a little more, but after a few years, the Shi family has a very good impression of her, the wife of the house. For the first time this year, I posted and took the initiative to invite her to walk around.
This time, it was just on the grounds of the birthday of his wife, who was waiting for her, to invite her to come over. But a few girls were also invited in the post, presumably to play with Shi Xiangyun.
When Xing Shuang received the post, she sighed a little. If you want to say that Shi Xiangyun's book always says that her uncle and aunt treat her harshly, there is really no such thing. If he really treated her harshly, he wouldn't have found her a good husband. Although Wei Ruolan died later, it was also an accident, among the girls at that time, only Shi Xiangyun married the best.
And in the book, Shi Xiangyun always complained that her aunt wanted her to be a female celebrity, which was also a helpless thing. It's not Shi Xiangyun who is doing it, the women up and down the Shi family are all doing female celebrities to subsidize the family, this is the sorrow of the family, not the sorrow of her alone.
And every time she comes to Jiafu, she can still bring gifts to give to others, which shows that her aunt still gave her enough face and did not embarrass her.
Therefore, Xing Shuang didn't want such a good family to be infamous for abusing his niece, and every year at the New Year's ceremony, he helped the Shi family a lot, and also wanted to relieve the financial pressure of the Shi family.
And now it seems that she was not wrong in this guess. In order to prevent their niece from being at home and not knowing how to communicate, the Shi family also invited girls from various provinces to play together, which shows that the Baoling Hou family is really benevolent and righteous to Shi Xiangyun.
Because of her daughter's words, Xing Shuang aroused sympathy for Mrs. Baolinghou, and fell into contemplation for a while, Yingchun did not quarrel with her mother when she saw this, and obediently took her sister to eat fruit and drink tea on the side.
Xing Shuang thought for a while and came back to her senses, and said to Yingchun: "It's okay to go to someone else's house, but it's okay to go to his house, they are all relatives, there is no need to create this sense of disparity, there is no need to make people dislike." ”
Yingchun listened carefully, nodded and remembered her mother's words. Tanchun was playing with snacks in his hand, and he didn't know what to think, and after a while, he asked, "Does my mother think his family is poor?" ”
Xing Shuang lowered her face, looked at Tanchun, and asked her, "Where did you hear this?" ”
Tanchun hurriedly put away her hand and didn't dare to play with dim sum anymore, and replied to her mother seriously: "Although no one told me, I was also at home when her family returned the gift in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year." The gift lists of the two are not equal at all. And the things that my mother sent to other homes seem to be the same as her family's, but only her family has less elegant things, more cloth, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep and other living things.
"I thought to myself, my mother has always been generous and kind, and she is very considerate, and there must be a reason why this gift is different from others. This cloth and living creature look worldly, but it is the most practical. I thought that Xu was not having a good time at her family, and my mother was just looking for some reasons to help. ”
Xing Shuang was a little stunned for a while, she knew that her daughter was smart when she was young, but she didn't expect to be so smart. How old is she now? But at the age of five, it is really surprising to know this.
But think about it, Tanchun is similar to the appearance in the book, and she hasn't learned housekeeping or anything seriously in the book, but let her be a housekeeper, she can still get started, which is not easy.
Although the contracting system she made was not suitable for this era, but it was indecent, pitting the master and enriching the slave, but it was not easy for her to think of something so advanced.
Xing Shuang didn't want her daughters to be as ignorant of housekeeping as in the book, and she was going to wait for her daughters to be eight years old, and she began to gradually teach them some housekeeping principles, but she hadn't taught them yet, and Tanchun understood so much, which was really a bit smacking.
Yingchun also felt that her sister was unusual, and said enviously: "You can see this, it's strange that you are a villain." When you said that, I remembered it, and we both saw it together. You think of this, but I don't think of it. ”
Tanchun just wanted to mock his sister for not using his brain, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again. If she quarrels with her sister again, her mother won't spare her. She looked at her mother, only to see that her expression was not happy.
"Mother, did I say the wrong thing?"
Xing Shuang's heart was a little confused, and when she heard Tanchun's question, she was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did she say: "The words are good, but there are some words that can't be said through the words." Today, you should only be strict in the mouth of the people in this house, but there are no absolutes in the world.
"I have a good heart, but if this word spreads, others will only think that I have a private heart, and for the sake of a good reputation, I deliberately meddle in other people's affairs. I'm not going to blame you for your young age. But if you are older, you are still so open-mouthed, and you will not be disliked. ”
Tanchun's heart sank, thinking of the past, and couldn't help but introspect. Xing Shuang saw her bow her head and ponder, knowing that she must have listened, so she didn't bother, only talked to Yingchun and left Tanchun aside.
