Chapter 6: Auntie

The second aunt silently took the paper manuscripts, read them carefully, and then picked out a pair and handed it to the eldest lady: "This is the best!" ”

The eldest lady looked stunned and said, "Isn't it good to write a big 'longevity' in the middle?" ”

The second aunt said lightly: "After all, the fifth lady is young and lacks pen power. When I wrote the hairpin small script, I didn't think that writing the big characters of the bucket square was too charming! ”

Wu Niang's face was red and white when she listened.

This was also said by the master who taught the young lady to read.

She was not convinced, and privately found a famous post to practice big characters......

When the eldest lady heard this, she sighed and handed the one picked out by the second aunt to Wu Niang: "That's it!" ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to hand it over, Eleven Niang saw the pattern - it was the round Baishou map.

"Old people like to be round...... That's it! There was a bit of tiredness in the eldest lady's tone, "Wu Niang write it out as soon as possible, Eleven Niang is easy to embroider." ”

How dare Wu Niang have any objections. Take the pattern, bend the knee should be "yes".

The second aunt suddenly looked at Eleven Niang: "Then this time is going to embroider the 'Baishou Map'?" ”

Eleven Niang respectfully replied "yes".

The second aunt nodded and didn't ask any more. to make the eldest lady curious.

"We originally wanted Eleven Niang to help with a few pairs of ties," the eldest aunt explained with a smile, "It seems that Eleven Niang has no such skills." ”

Eleven Niang glanced at the eldest lady with a smile, as if she was looking at the eldest lady's eyes, and saw that the eldest lady was not displeased, so she smiled and said: "It will take two days for the fifth sister to write." What do you want to call? I'm afraid I'll have to wait! ”

It means that if you don't live much, you can still help.

"I made two cloaks for Brother Xu," the eldest aunt smiled, "I want Eleven Niang to help tie two five-bat stalks." ”

Hitting five bats with one line was one of Master Jian's stunts, and he later taught Eleven Niang.

Bats, is the homonym of "Fu", five bats, meaning longevity, wealth, well-being, virtue, good death five kinds of blessings, with a thread to weave five bats, there is no more auspicious object than this.

The three-year-old brother is the eldest son of the uncle, and he is the heart of the eldest wife.

The expression on the eldest lady's face softened very often: "I don't know if those maids and daughters-in-law are taking good care of him?" ”

Three years ago, the old lady of the Luo family died, and the three Luo brothers resigned and returned to their hometown. On October 24 this year, the three-year period expired, and the three brothers had to return to the Ministry of Officials for filing. The second and third masters brought their families with them, and the eldest lady thought that she couldn't leave the family's affairs, so she asked her son and daughter-in-law to follow the eldest master to Yanjing with her grandson and Aunt Lu. First, there is a person to take care of the eldest master, and secondly, he asked his son to take his family to see his sister and brother-in-law, and take advantage of the momentum of Yongping Hou to stay in Yanjing Guozijian to study, so as to participate in next year's examination - two years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne and opened Enke, Luo Zhenxing did not participate in filial piety.

"Brother Xuan has a big grandmother by his side," Wu Xiao's family smiled, "You can rest assured!" ”

And since Shi Niang knew what this rope was for, she naturally immediately said: "Don't dare to say anything else, there is still the kung fu to play two yarns." ”

"That's a good idea." The eldest aunt smiled, "The colorful silk threads in my embroidery workshop are ready...... and she looked impatient.

"Then you can go and help your aunt get married!" The eldest lady smiled and instructed Eleven Niang, "I'll let Wu Xiao's whole family accompany me to talk." ”

Obedient and obedient, the two aunts, Wu Niang and Eleven Niang all got up and retreated.

The eldest aunt took Eleven Niang's hand: "Go, go to me, and I'll let Caixia make rose lotus paste cake for you to eat." After a pause, he smiled at Wu Niang and said, "Fifth Miss will also come to my room to sit down!" ”

Looking at the insincere appearance of the eldest aunt, Wu Niang was unhappy in her heart, and thought that these two aunts were now corpses and only waiting to die, and they didn't even have the heart to socialize.

"No need." Her expression was indifferent, "I don't dare to be sloppy about what the eldest lady explains." ”

What else did the eldest aunt want to say, but the second aunt had already dragged the eldest aunt and the eleventh aunt to the residence: "Since this is the case, then we will not stay." Fifth Miss, let's get busy! ”

Eleven Niang was dragged by the second aunt, turned around and said to the fifth aunt, "Sister go slowly", and hurried away with the second aunt.

Wu Niang looked at the backs of the three people, pouted, and returned to Jiaoyuan.

The eldest aunt couldn't help complaining: "Why bother, she is also a poor person!" ”

The second aunt snorted coldly and said, "No one in this house is a poor person." It's just that you are pitiful, and there are people who are more pitiful than you. What's more, we're all like this, horizontal and vertical is just a death, what else is there to be afraid of. ”

The eldest aunt glanced at Eleven Niang, who was standing on the side and was a little at a loss, and finally held back what she didn't say. only smiled and greeted Eleven Niang: "You sit, I'll go get the line." ”

The two aunts live next to each other, but in addition to worshipping the Buddha, the eldest aunt also likes to do needlework for those children in Luofu to pass the time. Eleven Niang and the two aunts have a little friendship, and it is also the eldest aunt who heard the maid of the family say that Miss Eleven is good at needlework and thread, and she is a proud disciple of Master Jane, so she started to ask Eleven Niang to help embroider a Buddhist scripture. Later, I had more contact, and found that Eleven Niang had a gentle temperament, although she didn't speak much, she acted steadily and generously, treated people gently and generously, and fell in love with her. That's why I often invite her to my residence to sit, or go to Shi Niang's place to walk around, gossip, and do some needlework. And the second aunt is not interested in anything other than worshipping the Buddha. met by chance a few times, and just said hello respectfully, and the second aunt nodded to her with a straight face, and didn't say anything to her.

Today, however, the scene is a bit strange.

The eldest aunt went to get the thread, and the second aunt not only did not go back to her house as usual, but instructed Caixia beside the eldest aunt: "Your aunt said that she wants to make rose lotus paste to entertain Miss Eleven, why don't you go quickly." ”

Thinking about the second aunt's stern face for a long time, Caixia went away in response.

She rebuked her maid again: "What is the pestle doing there? When the guests come and don't know what kind of tea to make, what can you do? ”

Caiyun's face was flushed, and he blessed Eleven Niang, and turned around to change tea.

Eleven Niang hurriedly picked up the tea and took a sip: "This tea is excellent." It's the best West Lake Longjing, right? ”

The second aunt had a rare smile on her face: "Yes, it's the best West Lake Longjing." However, I still have Yuxi Tieguanyin sent from Fujian. You taste it! ”

Eleven Niang was secretly surprised.

Her current father, Luo Huazhong, the eldest lord of Luofu, was elected as a political envoy in Fujian for three consecutive terms and failed to move a place, which is a great regret in his life. Because of this, he has a deep foundation in Fujian, although he is worried at home, his subordinates who have received his favor in the past often send him Fujian specialties. This Yuxi Tieguanyin is one of them.

Of course, a person like Luo Huazhong, who has become a feudal official, has a certain weight in the eyes of the court or the emperor. As long as it doesn't involve rebellion, sooner or later it will have to be re-established. What's more, he and Yongping Hou are in-laws. Those people aren't going to be sloppy with him.

For a moment, she was in turmoil.

She felt that something was passing through her mind, and she wanted to grasp it but couldn't!

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look up at the second aunt - and then she suddenly found that the second aunt actually had a pair of eyes as clear as water, and there was a soul-absorbing ripple between the waves.

A very ordinary person suddenly showed a different trait in front of you, and Eleven Niang suddenly became alarmed, thinking about what happened today.

Although the eldest aunt loves to needle and thread children, this child does not include the eldest young master - because in Luofu, he is not an ordinary child. also wants her to play five bats, this kind of luozi that only she can do except Master Jian......

"Take the jade pendant and shake it left and right in front of your eyes, your eyes are staring at her, after a long time, you can also have such a pair of eyes." The second aunt suddenly smiled at her, and the bright color in her eyes became even stronger, "It's not too late for you to start practicing 0 today." ”

Eleven Niang pretended not to know, revealing a blank face.

The second aunt suddenly laughed: "An honest person like Qingtong actually gave birth to a daughter like you." It's so much fun! ”

Qingtong is Aunt Lu's name.

"What the second aunt said, I don't understand." Eleven Niang remained silent.

"It doesn't matter if you can understand it or not, as long as you don't get deaf." The second aunt looked pleasant, as if she was not annoyed by Eleven Niang's pretending to be deaf and dumb, but also appreciated, "Count the days, the eldest master and the eldest young master should go to Yanjing." I don't know what happened, the eldest master and the eldest young master actually sent the right-hand people around them to deliver a letter to the eldest lady. When the eldest lady received the letter from the eldest master, she asked someone to ask you to make a screen. After receiving the letter from the eldest young master, he sent Mother Xu to Ci'an Temple to deliver sesame oil money, and gave you the beautiful amber beside her, and suddenly called me and my aunt to ask how to print a thousand copies of the Lotus Sutra...... Don't you think it's weird? ”

But next door, take a line, can it take so long?

Eleven Niang was already nine points sure, and the two aunts dug a pit for her to jump.

A wife with six concubines, and a large number of half-children fighting, the ghost will not believe that this family is as harmonious as it seems, brothers, friends and brothers.

But no matter what the essence is, Eleven Niang will not intervene in it - neither willing nor capable of.

"The eldest lady already believes in Buddhism, so she asked Mother Xu to go to Ci'an Temple to send sesame oil money, and asked my aunt how to print the Lotus Sutra, and I looked at it normally." She looked at the second aunt with a smile, "As for rewarding me with a maid, to be honest, Holly and Binju around me are also rewarded by the eldest wife, and they are both extremely loyal and kind-hearted people." I really don't know where my aunt's 'strangeness' comes from! ”

"There's nothing strange about it." The second aunt smiled happily under her gaze, "I'm just talking." Some people listen, others don't. ”

Eleven Niang smiled but didn't answer, lowered her head and blew open the foam in the tea cup, and took a sip gently.

There was silence in the room.

"This Caixia put the thread under my pillow and made it easy for me to find it for a while." After a while, the eldest aunt walked out with a smile, "I've kept you waiting!" ”

"Nope!" Eleven Niang smiled gently, "I have the second aunt with me!" ”

The eldest aunt smiled and nodded, and handed the silk thread to Eleven Niang: "Look at it, is this thread okay?" ”
