Chapter 4: Pride
Chen Niangzi sighed: "I have heard of the fourth young master in the second room of the uncle's mansion, he is smart and clever, reading is the best, Xiao Xiaonian is preparing to take the Xiucai exam, and he is the most loved by the uncle, but unfortunately he is weak." ”
He sighed again: "Bofu is really exquisite, doing a dojo is such a big pomp, when my mother didn't marry with his wife, she would have to be promoted to the housekeeper in Bofu in a few years." ”
Steward Lin shook his head and sighed: "My mother-in-law went early, and our juniors are not blessed. He turned over the golden lock and looked at it again and again, and said: "But this golden lock is not like an old thing, it should be a new one, there is no woman in the house who has been pregnant recently, what is the wife doing with such a thing, I am afraid that it was prepared by the uncle's house." When the two mothers-in-law saw Niuniu such a small person, they knew that they couldn't be bad, but they made up a valuable gold lock, I'm afraid there was another reason. ”
Chen Niangzi said: "It's better to ask An's mother, she is my mother's sworn sister before she got married, and she has always had contacts with our family, and she also gave a gift when Niuniu was born." She is now on an errand with the old lady of Bofu, and if she asks her, she may reveal a thing or two. ”
Steward Lin hesitated again and again, and said, "Wait, Miss Qiao told me not to inquire, if we go to ask Mother An in private, my wife will probably not like it if she knows." ”
The eldest brother hugged Lin Shuang tightly and said, "Dad, our Niuniu can't go to Bofu on an errand." ”
Lin Shuang nodded when she heard this, thinking that she was her brother, although she didn't pay attention to hygiene, and her hands and feet were not light or heavy when she teased her, she really loved her sister, and decided to dislike him less in the future.
She knew that there was something strange about this, but she really lacked ancient knowledge, and she couldn't give any guiding advice, so she had to wait for things to progress.
Lin Shuang came to ancient times, and found that children were really trouble-free, and after dinner, they blew the lamp on the kang, and they couldn't afford it at dawn, so they nested in the quilt and waited for their mother to come back with breakfast, and then dressed her and got up to freshen up.
The wife came to live in Zhuangzi, and the girls and mothers-in-law who used the habits around them also came, and the people on the Zhuangzi did not touch their hands with the food, because the wife had the habit of chanting scriptures in the morning, and a small Buddha hall was temporarily set up in the wing, and the girls were brought by the house. The wife had morning classes in the wing room, and Mrs. Chen and the servant women in Zhuangzi had to wait outside the wing room early in the morning.
The eldest brother had breakfast in the outer courtyard, and when he came back, he saw that Lin Shuang was still in the quilt, with a small handful of short hair on his round head and on the front and left and right, like a white and soft glutinous rice ball, and two dark eyes on the rice balls looked at him.
The house was warm, and the mother instructed the little girl to burn the charcoal basin before going out. Seeing that his mother hadn't come back yet, the eldest brother took off his hat and walked to the bed.
Lin Shuang got into the quilt, covered her head and shouted: "Brother, don't bully me." The voice was muffled.
Lin Xia looked funny, she just wanted to dress her, but when she was hiding in fear, she reached into the quilt to grab her, and the two brothers and sisters hid one and grabbed her, and they suddenly made a fuss.
Mrs. Chen came back after dawn, asked the little girl, knew that Lin Shuang had eaten a bowl of porridge, nodded, took out a ball of handkerchief from her arms, filled it with a piece of jujube paste cake, broke a small corner and fed it to Lin Shuang's mouth, leaned in front of her and asked softly, "Is it sweet?" ”
"Sweet." Lin Shuang nodded heavily, she actually doesn't like sweets very much, but ancient snacks are luxury, and it tastes good to eat a little once in a while.
When Mrs. Chen saw that her daughter liked to eat, she immediately became happy, with a smile on her face, she broke the remaining jujube paste cake into small pieces and put them in a handkerchief and put them on the kang table for her to eat.
She made up too well when she was pregnant in the summer, the fetus was raised, she suffered a lot when she was born, and it took two days for the child to land, and then she didn't get pregnant again for six or seven years, and she thought that there would be no more children in this life, but she was pregnant again, and the family was happy.
When she was born, she saw that the female doll was white and clean, her eyes were black and bright, and everyone said that they had never seen such a beautiful and aura girl.
The family treats Lin Shuang as an eyeball, Mrs. Chen herself is also proud, her youngest daughter is born well, and she is very smart, which other family can give birth to such a perfect girl.
Lin Shuang ate the snack and asked the little girl Yin'er to find the handwritten copy of "Golden Pill Interesting Stories", I heard that this was the ancestor of Chen Niangzi, who asked for it from a young lady in Yingcheng Bofu, but Lin Shuang didn't believe this statement, how could the young lady of Bofu give the manuscript to the servant woman.
No one at home was literate, and he didn't know what kind of book it was, so Lin Shuang even looked at it with a guess.
This book is a short story in the form of a short story about a person named Zhuo Ziyu, who worshiped as a Taoist priest in the Quanzhen Sect and learned alchemy, but I don't know a lot of traditional Chinese characters, and there is no punctuation, so it is very difficult to read.
