Chapter 33: Sleepiness
Pray for Ya'an, life is too fragile, too sudden, may the deceased rest in peace and the living be strong
~~~~~~
When she opened her eyes, a wisp of red sunshine above her head was reflected in front of the window, and after a while, Zhen Siniang remembered that she had fallen asleep after coming back from the glue, and looked up at the leaky pot on the table, "It's okay, it's just over time." It was still too late to get up and evaporate the cake, and after stretching, she sat up slowly.
“…… Mother, mother! Jian Wu Jianwen was dozing off on the side, and when he heard the movement, he got up, threw himself into Zhen Shi Niang's arms, hugged Zhen Shi Niang's waist tightly, raised his little face, and looked at her with tears in his eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged.
frightened Zhen Shi Niang, "What's wrong with Brother Wen and Brother Wu?" Look left and right, "Who bullied you?" ”
“…… Miss woke up? I was working outside, and when I heard the voice of Jian Wen and Jian Wu, the magpie Qiu Ju ran in, Qiu Ju rushed to the side of the kang in one step, looked Zhen Shi Niang up and down, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
What happened to all these people?
Zhen Siniang was puzzled.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Jian Wuwa cry, "I don't want white flour steamed buns anymore, we will eat cornmeal every day in the future, and save money for my mother to see her illness!" ”
"I won't be greedy for fun in the future, I want to study hard, go to the top exam when I grow up, and earn a lot of silver for my mother to see her illness!" Jian Wen hugged his mother's waist tightly, for fear that as soon as he let go, his mother would be gone.
Who told the child about this!
Zhen Shi Niang glanced at the magpie sharply, then lowered her head and patted Jian Wen's back gently, "...... Our brother Wen wants to take the top prize? The tone was relaxed and cheerful.
Jian Wen nodded vigorously, "Only by being a big official can you make a lot of money!" ”
"I'm going to be the top student too!" Jian Wu also nodded, "In the future, I want to be a majestic general like General Shen, and make money to treat my mother!" ”
To be a great general is to make money to treat her?
Business is also profitable, and it earns faster, what is it bad for my son to learn, but he just learns from his father to take the martial arts championship?
If you can't even get a show talent in your life, what money do you expect to make?
Zhen Shi Niang wanted to hit her head against the wall.
Is this the relationship between blood and bones, heredity?
He sighed secretly, but he didn't want to correct his son, so he only smiled kindly, "It's good that Brother Wen and Brother Wu have such great ambitions, it's just that you have to be prepared to endure hardships." ”
"I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"I'm not afraid!" Jian Wu also chimed in.
"Okay." Zhen Shi Niang nodded, "It's better to do it, Brother Wen and Brother Wu immediately went to the West House to write the second chapter of Cangjie ten times...... "Ancient children were enlightened early, and most of them began to use "Cangjie", "Yuanshang", "Mengqiu" and other enlightenment at the age of four or five, and then they learned the Four Books and Five Classics.
Regarding this kind of jerky and difficult classical Chinese, Zhen Siniang remembered that it was difficult to learn in high school in her previous life, and there was a saying among her classmates, "One is afraid of Zhou Shuren, and the other is afraid of classical Chinese." "Having a four-year-old read this now is simply devastating the seedlings.
But the children of this era all learn this, if they don't learn, I am afraid that they will not even be able to understand the Four Books and Five Classics in the future, and I think that people in this era generally have a short lifespan, so I found a copy of "Cangjie" to enlighten Jian Wu Jianwen.
The rules will not change because her soul is different, now that she is here, she and Jian Wen and Jian Wu have to move forward step by step.
Hearing this, Jian Wu Jianwen's little face suddenly twitched.
After only a moment, Jian Wen nodded vigorously, "Mother wait, I'll come over to accompany you when I'm done!" ”
After sending away Jianwen and Jianwu, Zhen Shiniang quietly looked at Qiu Ju and the magpie.
Being hairy, Qiu Ju was a little overwhelmed, "Miss......"
“…… I'm just so tired that I want to sleep for a while, how can you scare the kids like this?! Zhen Shi Niang's voice was never harsh.
"The young lady fell asleep for two days and two nights." Qiu Ju muttered quietly.
Two days and two nights?
Zhen Siniang was a little stunned.
“…… The young lady slept so heavily that she didn't even wake up when the slave maid wiped your body. There was a glint of worry in the magpie's eyes," ...... Feed you the soup and you only know how to swallow it, and you won't wake up no matter how you wake up. ”
She's never slept lightly, how could that be?
Zhen Shi Niang looked down at the clothes on her body.
Sure enough, she changed into a coat, and even her body was dry and refreshing, and she still remembered that her body was uncomfortable before going to bed, but at that time, her body was as heavy as a mountain, and she didn't want to move a finger.
“…… That can't scare a child like that. Zhen Shi Niang's tone softened a little, "Brother Wen and Brother Wu are careful and thoughtful, and they will go to their hearts whatever the adults say." "I haven't had a father since I was a child, and Jian Wen Jian Wu is more sensitive than ordinary children.
Therefore, even though she is still a child, Zhen Siniang is also very careful when she speaks in front of them.
"They overheard it themselves...... Qiu Ju muttered quietly.
"Eavesdropping?" Zhen Shi Niang frowned, "What's the matter?" ”
Just as he was about to speak, the magpie coughed, Qiu Ju quickly closed her mouth, turned her head and walked out, "...... The young lady must be thirsty when she wakes up, so the slave and maid pour you water to drink. ”
"I'm not thirsty, you say!" Zhen Shi Niang didn't look at the magpie either, her eyes were fixed on Qiu Ju, "What's going on?" ”
"Yes...... It was Sister-in-law Luo who died the night before......" Qiu Ju turned back slowly and said stubbornly.
Sister-in-law Luo is their neighbor, next to Yu Liang's house in the alley before, her husband died a year ago, and she lives alone with her six-year-old daughter Sister Ling, she has lost too much blood after childbirth and has not been raised, and has been sick, but Zhen Siniang was a blood collapse at the time, much more serious than her, they are all alone with children, sympathizing with each other, Sister-in-law Luo has been the most diligent in the past two years with Zhen Siniang, and Zhen Siniang often helps her with some Ejiao, but they are all people who have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, and the help is also limited.
As the saying goes, there is nothing else without money, and there is nothing wrong with illness. Because of taking medicine all year round, she has already spent her family's funds, and after her husband's death, Luo's sister-in-law relied on washing clothes for others, sewing and mending to support her daughter, not to mention recuperation, it is difficult for both mother and daughter to make ends meet, plus missing her husband, coming and going, the more her body digs out the moon, this blink of an eye, she went with her husband, the more she said Qiu Ju's eyes became redder, "...... I only pity Sister Ling, who was not yet seven years old, and was taken away by his uncle, saying that he was going to sell it to a big family in the city to pay off his debts. "Sister-in-law Luo borrowed money to buy medicine before her death, and added the cost of this delivery, and owed a lot of silver to her mother's brother," ...... said that it would leave early in the morning. ”
“…… Sister Ling was sold by his uncle? Thinking of Sister Ling's flashing two big black eyes and Jian Wu and Jian Wen laughing in front of her, Zhen Shi Niang's heart twitched, "Why doesn't anyone care?" ”
"People are their own uncles, who dares to care?" The magpie snorted, "Besides, it is rumored outside that Sister Ling is dead, first killed her grandfather and grandmother, then killed her father, and now killed her mother, everyone wishes that she would leave Wutong Town quickly, how can anyone speak for her?" ”
"It's just a six- or seven-year-old child, these people ......" Zhen Shi Niang's voice was rarely uneven, "It's really a loss of conscience!" ”
"It's not our business, so don't worry about it, Miss." Zhen Siniang has always been calm, and it is the first time for a magpie to see her like this, "Your illness is the most worrying." ”
If you think about it, you don't know where you're going to end up tomorrow, and you really can't care about it.
This is not the modern era, in ancient times, the buying and selling of human beings was a legitimate business!
Zhen Siniang sighed, "I often hear people say that the maids of some big families are more decent than the daughters of ordinary families, I hope she can be a good family." Reluctant to talk more, she changed the subject, "Brother Wen and Brother Wu were scared when they heard that Sister Ling was sold?" ”
"Uh-huh......" the magpie replied vaguely.
"No......" Qiu Ju shook her head.
