Chapter 15: Waves (2)
Jiao Tao was still smiling, but there was a bit of chill in her eyes: "If grandma will not give it, the slave will have to dismantle the furniture and burn it." Grandma, as the saying goes, be a man and leave a line, and it will be good to meet in the future, our young lady has lived in your house for many years, how can it be regarded as fate, why do you want to kill them all? I still remember the saying that it is better to bully the old man than to the snot. Today, the third lady of my family is not happy, but who will know her creation in the future? Not to mention anything else, just say that the third lady's brother, our eldest son, is fourteen years old this year, but he has been admitted to show talent and has outstanding virtues. β
Wang Shi still sat still, only pushing this winter's wind and snow is too big, the climate is cold, charcoal is expensive, grain is expensive, there is no charcoal and no money at home, there is no charcoal, there is a life. However, Wu Xiansheng, who was afraid of his wife, had read books for a few days, and was a little literate and ink-savvy, understood the threats and temptations in Jiao Tao's words, and instructed his son Jin Zhu to get charcoal, while smiling at Jiao Tao: "This stupid woman is blinded by lard, I don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about her, girl." β
Wang Shi didn't forgive, his face darkened, he glared at Wu Xiansheng, and showed his claws, as if he wanted to eat people. Wu Xiansheng grabbed Wang's arm, squeezed his eyes at her, and shouted at Fang'er: "Fang'er, come out and help your sister Jiao Tao get charcoal!" β
When Fang'er heard the sound, she quickly ran out and pulled Jiao Tao out: "Sister Jiao Tao, you come with me." β
Jiao Tao looked at Wu Xiansheng and said with a smile: "In the future, the slave and maid will definitely convey to my son-in-law the love and care of Master Wu and grandma for the third young lady." β
Wu Xiansheng laughed and looked extraordinarily honest.
Seeing that Jiao Tao followed Fang'er, Wang Shi did not shy away from Yan'er still in front of him, and got up to pinch Wu Xiansheng's ears: "You are fascinated by this little goblin, I don't know the southeast and northwest?" β
Wu Xiansheng twisted his waist, flexibly dodged, and said, "Don't mess around!" What she said is right, now that the situation is unclear, you will be angry and leave no room for yourself! Forget how miserable that day was? Want to do it again? β
Wang's teeth: "You ......"
Wu Xiansheng changed his smiling face, held Wang's elbow, and comforted him softly: "Child, mother, you listen to me and you." You just let her go for a few days, endure it for a few days, and even if you want to get angry, you have to wait for the situation over there to be decided. Don't always listen to the second aunt alone, what is the situation in the house, none of us knows, right? Don't endure for nine years, and finally the chicken flies and the egg beats. β
Wang squinted his eyes and said, "Then what do you say you want to do?" This girl is really a broom star! At that time, I said don't want to live or die, you should continue. β
Wu Xiansheng whispered: "Didn't you say that you would send a mother-in-law in some days?" Even if you don't come, you have to wait for the New Year. I heard that the second lady of the Cai family is going to get married on the tenth day of the second month, and at that time, if the Cai family sends someone to pick her up and go back to play, then we will no longer be able to do the same as before. If no one in the Cai family comes to ask after that, you can do whatever you like, as long as you don't die. Treat her well first. β
Wang said: "Treat her well? You say it lightly! What should we do if the second aunt doesn't spare us? We took her so much money, but did we take it for nothing? And my brother, who still works in her shop to support his family. β
Wu Xiansheng said: "Say you're stupid, you still don't believe it." At this time, why didn't you lose the shrewdness you had when dealing with Yu Pozi? Whatever she says, you should go down, it's high and the sky is far away, can she know what you're doing? Do it again when it counts. I think tomorrow you will lead the two girls to say a few good words to the Fei girls and invite them to celebrate the New Year with us. β
Wang Shi rolled his eyes: "I'm not going!" Go yourself! β
Wu Xiansheng said: "Talking stupid things again, aren't you?" Now it's not as good as before, the boudoir of the young lady, can I be a big man and enter it casually? Go, go, and I'll make you a pair of gold bracelets. β
Wang Shi heard that there was a gold bracelet to take, and smiled: "You still pay attention to this." β
"I'm a scholar anyway." Wu Xian laughed, and pretended to touch the few sparse rat whiskers on his chin, "You have nothing to learn from me, don't always do everything on the surface." When you go, remember not to lose your temper. β
Not to mention how Wu Xiansheng coaxed the Wang family to have a good relationship with Ming Fei temporarily, he had to wait and see what happened, so as to reap the benefits. But it was said that Fang'er and Jin Zhu took Jiao Tao to the east ear room used as a warehouse to get charcoal, and Jiao Tao smiled and talked to the Wu brothers and sisters, and both of them were silent.
Jin Zhu is only one year younger than Yan'er, he is already fifteen years old, and when it is time to discuss marriage, he is different from the Wu couple, he is a little naΓ―ve, he usually only knows to listen to his father and mother, and he doesn't talk much to others. Overall, he is not a bad person, but he doesn't like and hate the name of Ming Fei's nemesis, and he doesn't even have a good impression of the people of the Cai family. He dragged a large basket of charcoal from the ear room with his head down, and was about to leave as soon as he put it in front of Jiao Tao.
Jiao Tao said with a smile: "Young Master, it's better to give it enough at one time, and the two of us won't need much, even if it is the beginning of spring, it is only six baskets of charcoal is enough." Whew, it's a cold day. As he spoke, he sneezed.
Jin Zhu was afraid of Wang's feather broom and lion's roar, looked at Jiao Tao in embarrassment, and pushed: "There is not much in it." β
Fang'er pushed him: "Brother, give it to them, it's all bought with other people's money anyway." Daddy's place, I'll go and say. β
Jin Zhu glanced at Jiao Tao twice, and saw that Jiao Tao's pink and purple jacket was wearing a turquoise skirt, with a double snail bun on her head, and two silk pink camellias, standing there looking at him with a smile, looking black and pink, red lips and white teeth, which was a scenery that could not be seen in the countryside. couldn't help blushing, and said angrily: "One person does things and one person is responsible, how can you be the head of the sister?" "Buried in the head and ran into the wing room for a while.
Jiao Tao asked Jin Zhu to help move all these large baskets of charcoal outside Ming Fei's house, said a few nice words to praise Jin Zhu's brothers and sisters, and went into the house to grab a few handfuls of candy for Fang'er.
Ming Fei knew that Fang'er was coming, and was about to cheekily call her to stay and play, but she heard a sound of footsteps outside, and the person had already gone, so she had to sigh and lie back on the bed sullenly.
For fear that the charcoal would be stolen by someone if she put it outside, Jiao Tao kicked her figure-eight feet, gritted her teeth and moved the baskets of charcoal into the house, leaned against the corner of the wall and put it away, wiping her sweat and smiling: "Miss, I'm not afraid of the cold this winter." β
Ming Fei jumped out of bed, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." How did she make things difficult for you? β
Jiao Tao smiled while lighting a fire: "It's not those old sayings. But Miss guessed right, she didn't dare to really do anything to us. It's just that this house is not big, and it is even narrower after putting these baskets of charcoal, which wronged the young lady. β
Ming Fei smiled with crooked eyebrows: "You have to have a lining before you can afford to save face." β
The two of them smiled heartily, and they suddenly felt that they were dependent on each other.
On the second day, Wang really brought two daughters with awkward faces, carrying two hard peanut cakes to see Ming Fei. Ming Fei smiled brightly on her face, and her mouth was also enthusiastic, she sat down with the three of them, asked Jiao Tao to make tea, and grabbed two handfuls of raisins brought by Yu's mother to entertain the guests.
Wang said with a smile: "The third lady is very different now, and she also knows how to make tea and prepare fruits to entertain guests." This tea and this dried fruit were brought from the house, right? β
Ming Fei smiled: "Yes, this dried fruit is called raisins, I heard that it is from the Western Regions, it is very sweet." My aunt and my two sisters will try it, if I like it, I still have some, and I will let Jiao Tao wrap some and send it over. β
Yan'er snorted disdainfully, her eyes rolled around, looking at Ming Fei's new clothes, new bedding, and new tents, and she was jealous and resentful, and twisted her sleeves angrily. Fang'er held the teacup in her hand, looked down at her toes, and said nothing. Ming Fei looked coldly at Wang Shi and Yan'er's disdainful and unconvinced expressions, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
Wang didn't speak, Ming Fei didn't speak, the room was quiet, and everyone was a little embarrassed. Wang had no choice but to re-provoke the conversation, and said with a smile: "It's going to be the New Year, I'm here to invite the two of you to celebrate the New Year with us, I don't know if the two of you can appreciate your face?" Sister Jiao Tao, what do you think? β
Jiao Tao said unceremoniously: "Grandma asked the wrong question, the slave maid is the one who serves the third lady, and naturally the only one who obeys the third lady's order." This matter is up to the third lady to make her own decisions, where will it be the turn of the slave to put the beak? β
Wang Shi smiled: "Didn't I think that the third lady is young and ignorant, so she has to ask her sister to call the shots?" Who knew that the identities of the two were confused. It's all my fault, you know, our family is not a family that can afford to use girls, and the third lady has no one to serve her for a long time, just like other girls in the village, going up and down the mountain, climbing trees and collecting firewood are all used to it, and as the days go by, we all forget that she is a young lady. β
Since she was a child, she was used to being oppressed and tossed by herself, and the little girl who was used to calling and scolding suddenly became a little taller than herself. But at present, it is still this half-red and not black situation, just take a shelf in front of her, and show her arrogance, so how can she bear this breath?
