Chapter 12: The Willow Tree's Tricks
The softness of Liu's heart was touched, he put away his purse, and said firmly: "Su'er, this money lady collects, the day after tomorrow is the third day of the new year, Li Shanglang will come to the village to sell goods, I will buy a piece of cloth, make clothes and shoes." ”
When Liu said that she wanted to make clothes for catkins, not herself.
Liu Wu didn't know, thinking that Liu's brain had finally opened up, and he would not only have others in his eyes but no self.
......
Before dawn on the second day, Zhou's "whooping" voice shook the Liu family's compound, and he scolded angrily: "One by one, I know that I want silver when I open my mouth, and I have grown a lazy meat, so I don't hurry up!" ”
Willow came out with a displeased face, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Grandmother, why bother people with insinuations!" Shu'er returned to school, and he could take the township test in the spring, and Shu'er passed the Tongsheng exam, and the ones with a light on his face were not grandma and his uncles and brothers? It is the ancestors of the Liu family who are glorified, and they are also worthy of their grandfather's spirit in the sky. ”
You know how to talk about the dead! Liu said this when he passed by! The same is true of the willow tree who returned to the school!!
Zhou's hatred itched, originally the big house only proposed to let Liu Gan go to school, I don't know which tendon is wrong, Willow not only wants to get married, but also to return to the school after marriage, because I want to worship the most famous gentleman in the county, so Shu Xiu is the most expensive, to twenty taels of silver, this is only for Mr. silver, not including buying the four treasures of the study.
Zhou didn't dare to be angry with the willow tree, turned his head and glanced at the direction of the lower house where the third room lived, and when he turned back, his face was quickly full of folds, and he said with a smile on his face: "How can grandma say that the tree!" is not a child, Shu'er is also the only literate and hyphenated person in Liuhe Village, your uncle of the Song family is a bookkeeper, and he can still get three taels of silver a year! If you want to, let your uncle ......"
"Insulting Sven!" The willow tree's face was gloomy, looking at the catkins who pushed out of the door in the third room, his face was even more ugly, he put his hands behind his back, straightened his waist and said: "When the queen of the dynasty does the new "Female Cultivator", the woman cultivates herself, that is, she is obedient to her father, husband, and son, and if she is not smooth, she will talk about virtuous and virtuous women in vain, and she will be a woman in vain, and she will grow .......up in vain."
Zhou heard it in a fog, and he didn't know why, looking at the catkins, he opened his mouth to scold the catkins for working.
Liu Wu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Grandma, I'm not lazy, now, immediately, immediately go to get the cow dung of Niu Bo's house, come back to get a nest, immediately, immediately go up the mountain with Liu Ya to collect firewood, and come back to wash clothes in the evening." Your top priority, or discuss with the eldest brother the matter of 'being a wife in vain and growing up in vain', if you can't talk about it, I'm afraid you will be invited out of the Liu family by the eldest brother, and I can't call you grandma anymore." ”
There are a lot of words that Liu Shu said, Zhou didn't understand it at all, and Liu Wu seemed to understand a little bit when he explained it, but what does this mean?
The old man Liu Dianwu died, thinking that he was finally in charge of the house and became the heaven of the Liu family, but today I learned that it was not like that! If the old man dies, he may also be driven out of the Liu family! Liu Changhai and Liu Shu just counted!!
Didn't the emperor propose that filial piety come first? How can it be?
Zhou was stunned by the news he had just heard, and then shook his head in self-deprecation, and scolded at the back of Liu Wu: "Dead hooves, nonsense, if you don't work and use it at the top, you will definitely tear your mouth apart......"
Willow snorted softly and flicked his sleeves back into the house.
Zhou's face was calm and quiet, but his heart was uneasy, and his mind to buy silk for the willow tree and return to the school began to waver.
Where did the catkins know that they had invisibly become the accomplices of the willow tree, and all that flashed in their minds was what they saw and heard in later generations about how to hunt, and how to make their family eat and live well.
When he arrived at Zhao Ergang's house, Zhao Ergang got up very early and was about to go out, when he saw the arrival of Liu Wu, his face turned red at first, and he asked in a low voice: "Sister Xu'er, you, do you still want to weave bark bags?" ”
Liu Fu shook his head, looked behind Zhao Ergang, and hesitated: "I, I want to ask Aunt Zhao for something......
followed Zhao Ergang into the house, and Aunt Zhao was tying the head rope to the fourteen-year-old Zhao Hong.
At this time, Zhao Hong had a peach blossom bun on her head, and Aunt Zhao below was tied up with a red head rope, with a big face, bronzed skin, small eyes, and a long and strong figure, which was stronger and more heroic than ordinary women.
Although he looks a little ugly, he is fortunate to have inexhaustible youthful vitality.
Seeing the catkins come in, Aunt Zhao's face showed surprise, and then she took the catkins' hand and sat on the edge of the kang, and said with a smile: "The catkins are here?" Let's see what your sister is wearing to go out today? ”
Liu Wuhu glanced at Zhao Ergang suspiciously, Zhao Ergang scratched his head, and said with a sneer: "My mother took Dahong to see Liu Guanmedia in the county today, and asked her to find a good mother-in-law for Dahong in the nearby ten miles and eight villages." ”
Liu Xu smiled, this Zhao Hong was only one year older than herself, and she began to worry about getting married.
Even if he has something to ask the Zhao family, he naturally has to spare no effort.
Liu Wu looked at Zhao Hong up and down, his face was too big, and it looked like a basin; The face is too yellow, and it doesn't look energetic; The eyebrows are too thick, and they look like they have planted a lawn......"
Fortunately, Zhao also borrowed a box of rouge and gouache, and he didn't have time to wipe it yet.
Liu Wu said to Zhao Ergang: "Brother Ergang, go and help me get a sharp knife and charcoal strips......"
Zhao Hong's hand grabbed Zhao's hand tightly, and shook his head nervously.
Zhao's eyes looked at Zhao Ergang who was obedient and went out of the house, with a look of probing, without saying a word, he desperately pressed Zhao Hong, who was struggling to get up, and smiled at Liu Wu: "I didn't expect Liu Wu to dress up, your second sister is blessed, and she will definitely find a wishful husband." ”
Zhao Hong stared at Zhao Ergang who entered the house with a dead face, knowing that his wife, this is for the sake of the eldest brother, and he has to sacrifice his face, but, this knife? This carbon? How much resentment does this have? I don't seem to have bullied catkins much in the past, right?
Zhao Hong was uneasy in his heart, and Zhao Ergang put the burning stick and machete on the kang, and looked at the catkins as if they were invited.
Liu Fu choked in his throat in one breath, did Zhao Ergang think he was going to put on makeup for elephants and hippos? Such a big eyebrow knife and liner?
Liu Wu said abruptly: "Second, Brother Ergang, what I want is the sharpest, the smallest knife, the thinnest carbon strip......." Afraid that Zhao Ergang would make a mistake again, Liu Wu stroked with his fingers.
Zhao Ergang's face turned red, turned around and went back to the back room, this time for a little longer, and took back a palm-length thin knife and a carbon bar of different thicknesses.
Liu Fu nodded with satisfaction.
Let Zhao Hong close her eyes, first clean her face with water, carefully wipe it with a towel, and then only pick out a small amount of powder and pounce it on her face carefully.
Zhao Hong was apprehensive at first, and then felt extremely comfortable, and was pushed on the shoulder by Liu Wu when she was half asleep.
Zhao Hong suddenly opened his eyes, and there was already a bronze mirror in front of him, and a delicate face was reflected in it. The egg-shaped cheeks, white and red, eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and eyes like shooting stars, are completely different from the original woman, whose face is as big as a cake, whose eyebrows are as thick as a broom, and whose eyes are as small as cracks.
As your eyebrows become thinner, you can imagine why the face has become thinner and smaller, and the eyes have become bigger.
Zhao Hong almost put her eyes into the bronze mirror, and then she saw some clues, and the lower layer of the eyebrows of the eyes was painted with carbon strips, which made people look like they were bigger.
The hair is still a bun combed by Zhao's, but the bun is draped on the side of the face, which makes the face a lot thinner, and the red rope that binds the hair is braided into a beautiful concentric knot, tied between the buns, the head moves, and the tassels swing, which adds a bit of charm.
Zhao Hong's face couldn't help but turn red, and her voice was like a mosquito's chirping: "Seeing that you are usually sloppy, I didn't expect to be so good at dressing up." ”
Zhao was also stunned.
Peasant women, except for dressing up on the day they got married, they can't even see rouge gouache on weekdays, where will this be?
After such a toss of catkins, Zhao Hong, who walks like the wind on weekdays, actually gave birth to a little bit of the twisted posture of the young lady.
This is not over, Liu Wu gave up a sky blue dress that Zhao picked up, picked and picked in the clothes box, and finally picked out a dark pink dress, handed it to Zhao Hongdao: "The first interview should not be too cold, you must wear more warm clothes, and the impression score will increase a lot." ”
