Chapter 42: The River in Heaven
However, it also reminded Ye Yuran of one thing, the original owner was good to the Li family at the beginning, but in fact, it was not because the Li family had a sweet mouth, but this daughter-in-law "won" in a fight, she was specially good to the Li family in order to poke the heart of the Li family and her mother, and wanted to coax the Li family over and make the Li family fall out with her mother......
Ye Yuran: "......"
The original owner likes to stab other people's hearts the most, and this is not the first time this kind of thing has been done.
"Eavesdropping on others and saying that it is not right, have you forgotten what you said about the old five families before? ”
"Uh, I understand the first sentence, what does the latter mean, mother?" asked Li Shi a little embarrassed.
Ye Yuran said: "The latter sentence is that if you are not upright, you are not qualified to talk about others. Do you want the Fifth Family to use this matter to gag you in the future?"
"I don't want to. ”
"Why don't you talk so much nonsense? Don't listen with your ears, remember with your heart. Ye Yuran was very happy, fortunately she didn't have the habit of talking to herself, or whispering to others, otherwise something terrible would make people "eavesdrop", and how good is she?
After a meal, he let her go and went back to the house to rest.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhu Bamei put something on her wrist, and Ye Yuran suddenly felt tired.
This big family, in addition to eating to fill their stomachs, is all about things, and after finishing one first, there is another waiting for her.
Alas...... I really want to ignore this Zhu Bamei and let her fend for herself, anyway, she didn't give birth to it.
But after thinking about it again, she "picked up" the original owner's body after all, even if this body is unsatisfactory, but at least it is a "living" one.
"Mother!"
"Don't take a nap?"
"Sleep right away, mother, do you want to sleep? I'll help you make the bed." "Zhu Bamei is very positive.
"Hmm. Ye Yuran didn't say much, Ren Zhu Bamei was busy working there.
When Zhu Bamei was turning over the bed, she dropped some of the colored cloth strips she had made before, she hesitated, and quickly picked them up while saying, "Ah, I was just learning to knot the rope, and it turned out to be ugly......
She seemed to think that the excuse she had found was good, and she also exposed the things on her wrist and showed them to Ye Yuran.
"Mother, look at me, I'm so ugly that I can't see anyone. ”
"Mother, don't go out and say that your daughter hasn't learned yet. When I learn it, I'll make a good-looking one for my mother. ”
In fact, the knotted rope that Zhu Bamei said is another disguised tie.
The tassel is to use collars, necklaces, longevity locks, etc., and re-weave them with beautiful knots to make them look more beautiful.
Ye Yuran turned it out from the memory of the original owner, when she was still the maid ring next to the eldest young master, she had learned, usually a row of metal collars, and then hung all kinds of pearls, gems and jade ornaments on it in the form of knotted ropes, and suddenly ordinary collars would become jewels.
In addition, Ye Yuran also remembered that she had watched this clip in "Dream of Red Mansions", that is, Jia Baoyu pestered Xue Baochai hard, insisted on seeing the golden lock on her neck, and untied a golden tassel from her neck.
Zhu Bamei's "knotted rope" is a variant of this, because the peasant family is poor, gold and silver are rare, but you can use the original rich color of the knotted rope to weave into some small objects to wear on the body.
If it was someone else, it might not be, but the original owner had been a maid, and this kind of craft must also exist, so the original owner also taught Zhu Bamei back then.
It's just that now Zhu Bamei is used elsewhere.
Ye Yuran just glanced at the bracelet wrapped with strips of cloth and knew what was going on.
It was so rough to get it so rough, just to not attract the attention of others, what could make Zhu Bamei so attentive, it was naturally the silver bracelet.
She really couldn't bear to tell Zhu Bamei: "That's fake, it's silver, and she coaxes a little girl who has never seen the world." ”
On the contrary, Zhu Bamei is the one who was "coaxed".
Ye Yuran scolded the damn man who coaxed Zhu Bamei in his heart, and cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations, and took the strip of cloth in Zhu Bamei's hand: "This is the leftover from the last time, right?"
These strips of cloth are not ordinary cotton cloths, they should be the "added heads" that the original owner specially bought from the cloth village in the town in order to make Zhu Bamei happy.
Although many women in Zhujia Village will make their own coarse linen, this kind of coarse linen is not comfortable to wear on the body, and only when they are working will they put it on the outermost part to prevent the fine linen inside from being worn out.
The fine linen cloth is 16 wen and a foot, and the cotton cloth is almost 26 wen, but an egg is only two cents, and it can be imagined how expensive this cloth is in this era of low productivity.
Even if it is this cloth head, it can be sold, and it is a good choice to make purses and head flowers.
The bag of cloth in Zhu Bamei's hand also cost a penny to buy it back.
The original owner was willing to spend this text line, naturally in order to teach Zhu Bamei to recognize the cloth and tie the knot, so as to prepare for the future. As for embroidery, the original owner didn't want to teach, the key was that the family had no money, and he really couldn't afford to buy things for embroidery.
"Hmm. Zhu Bamei responded, in fact, she was also a little nervous, after all, this was the first time she had lied to her mother, and it was such a big deal.
Ye Yuran took the strip of cloth and carefully looked at Zhu Bamei's facial features, and found that although Zhu Bamei was still young, compared with those female babies in the village, she was raised a little squeamish, and her facial features also perfectly inherited the appearance of the original owner, and there were some qualifications in it.
It's no wonder that when she was still young, someone had already begun to beat Zhu Bamei's idea.
"Mother, why do you look at me like this?" Zhu Bamei panicked.
Could it be that my mother can see it?
It's impossible, she hid it so tightly that she didn't even know the seventh brother inside, how could her mother not know?
"I suddenly found out that in fact, our eighth sister is quite beautiful. ”
Zhu Bamei's face flushed: "Mother, why do you say such a thing?"
"What's wrong with me saying that? Ye Yuran said, "My mother used to be busy every day, and she didn't talk to you well, saying that she taught you to tie the knotted rope, and she didn't teach you where to go." Take advantage of the rest now, my mother will make you a few beautiful bracelets, which must be more beautiful than the ones on your hands. ”
Of course, Ye Yuran doesn't know anything complicated to knot, but when she was studying, bracelets were particularly popular among students, and she also followed the trend and played for a while.
She still knows a few simple ways to weave bracelets.
"Mother, do you still have this kind of thing?" Zhu Bamei was a little surprised, because she had never heard her mother mention it before.
Ye Yuran asked: "I'll teach you to weave a simple bracelet first, do you know what the most important thing is?"
Zhu Bamei shook her head: "What is it?"
