Feng Jiaojiao consciously caused trouble, but she didn't quite understand where the trouble was, and only looked at the willow branches crying on the quilt. She raised her hand and swore: "I will never rob your brother Xiaochun, and I will not touch him if all the men in the world are dead." ”

"Phew, what are you cursing him for?" Liu Zhi cried enough, in fact, he took the opportunity to vent, but now he is much more comfortable, he wiped his tears with a sob, and raised his chin very much: "Brother Xiaochun will not want other women, except for me, he will definitely not like the second person." ”

"That's really good," Feng Jiaojiao said flatteringly, "On the day you got married, I gave you a set of gold-headed noodles." ”

"Be solid, hollow, I won't let you eat wine."

"You greedy little lady, just wait for me to stone you to death with gold." Feng Jiaojiao climbed on her and twisted her nose. The two of them were fighting, and the silver beads outside could be regarded as quietly relieved, and they began to hear crying and making trouble, and they didn't know whether to report to the master, but now they laughed.

In July, Liu Wang returned. The first silk harvest was very smooth, and I made some money, mainly because the demand for raw silk has been rising in recent years, as long as it is not the kind of people who are particularly unlucky enough to encounter the flow of warehouse fires, from silkworm farmers to weavers, to silk cloth merchants, there is no one who does not make money. In the inner world, the common people and slaves also wore silk and satin, and the foreign sea was busy, and a whole shipload of silk was sold overseas, and the quantity was amazing.

Liu Wang was still annoyed that the investment was too small, and Li comforted him, it was nothing more than the first time that he should be cautious, and now he has made a lot of money without losing money.

Liu Wang also gradually relieved, with this income and the prospect of raw silk is good, Liu Wang pondered about cultivating a little girl. He said to Li: "Zhi'er was too undisciplined before, but now she has developed this kind of temperament. I think the little girl is better than her sister, and we can't let her follow her sister's old path. ”

"You see, although Lu Xiaoxianggong and Brother Yang are both scholars, their gestures are different. I asked Lu Xiaoxianggong, and he also agreed with sending Xiao'er to a girls' school, and when she came out in the future, she would be described as a bit of a lady, and she could also find a good family. ”

Huashi County Women's School is well-known in the entire Songning Mansion, and the founder Luo Fuzi is also a strange person. Her name is Bicheng, although she is a lady of the official eunuch family, she has been fond of Huang Lao metaphysics since she was a child, and her husband died within two years of marriage. Luo Bicheng himself had a rich dowry and no children, so he changed his costume and traveled around, sending his love to the landscape, singing and answering with local celebrities everywhere, I don't know how chic and comfortable it is. Later, her mother-in-law was seriously ill, and she returned to Songning Mansion to serve the sick, so she opened a women's school in Huashi County.

The women's school was run in a private house of Luo Fuzi. Li was nervous when he took Wicker there, after all, he was just a small grocery store owner, and he was afraid of being looked down upon. Unexpectedly, the wicker was very close to the eyes of Luo Fuzi, asked her a few words, asked her to write a few words and accepted it, and was so happy that the Li family went home to read the Buddha, and even a sweet water well street felt glorious, and the wicker in this street entered the women's school.

Since Dad came back, Willow Branch has not been so convenient to go out, but Manxianglou has a fifth brother and Jiaojiao, so he doesn't have to worry too much. When her sister entered the women's school, she was also happy for her sister and told her to listen to her master's teachings and not to be naughty. However, Yang Xiuxiu sent a beautiful pencil case, with longan, lychee, and walnuts embroidered on a calm and generous lotus blue background, implying three yuan.

Li Shi smiled when he saw it: "This should be given to Brother Yang." "After all, women don't study for fame. She didn't expect to say that this was originally made by Yang Xiuxiu for her brother, but it was a little bad, and it was cut just to change it to a small one for wicker.

In July, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Liu Zhi made moon cakes at home, wrapped in mulberry paper in one of the four, and asked his sister to give it to the teacher in the female school. Lu Xiyue, who came from the countryside to celebrate the festival, pointed wicker on the side and wrote a poem on the red seal on the paper package, which looked chic and elegant. For a while, the small courtyard of Sweet Water Well Street was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere that had not been seen for a long time.

As the heat subsides, the weather turns cooler, and the sales of Feng cakes gradually rise, after all, the colder the meat filling, the more tempting it is. Feng Jiaojiao invited Liu Zhi to come to her house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and by the way, she discussed their Feng cake business.

"I've got to find an excuse to go out, my dad is back." The willow branch was embarrassed.

"Then, I'll just say I miss you, pick you up for three or four days? I'll just be dead-faced, anyway, it's not the first time your father and mother have seen me cheating. Everyone couldn't think of any good excuses, Feng Jiaojiao said simply.

Wicker came back from school with an excited face, saw the willow branch pounce over, and remembered the ladylike attitude taught by the master and hurriedly braked halfway, Si Sven bowed and said, "Hello sister." ”

Liu Zhi felt that his sister's little adult looked very interesting, and bent down with a smile and pinched his sister's fleshy face: "Sister is good." ”

Liu Zhi was made by his sister to flatten his mouth dissatisfied, and Li Shi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you don't have a good shape yourself, and you can't bring your sister badly." Your sister has something serious to do. ”

Liu Zhi lowered his head and listened to his sister continue: "Master likes the moon cakes you make very much, and I especially like the rose sauce filling, which is fragrant and sweet; Sister, the master wants to pick me up and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, can you help me make some mooncakes as gifts? ”

"But the rose sauce is gone." That's true, the last jar of rose sauce was all used to make a festival for wicker in the school.

I heard my father displeased: "You help your sister do something and make such excuses." ”

Liu Zhi wanted to say something but still closed her mouth, and now Lu Xiyue was sitting with her father and mother, and Wicker was sitting on a small stool at Li's feet, and she was standing alone in the middle, and suddenly had a feeling of being interrogated.

Li gently persuaded: "Zhi'er, our family is not a rich and noble family, and there is nothing to give to the master; It's rare that the Master likes what you cook, so you can make a little of it. ”

Liu Zhi lowered her head, she was a thirteen-year-old girl after all, and she felt extra embarrassed to have a young man like Lu Xiyue present and be told by her parents. Liu Wang didn't feel a little angry when he saw her like that, he wanted to say to his little daughter, "Forget it, Daddy will help you go to the state capital to buy snacks", but before the words came out, he heard Liu Zhi say: "There are no materials at home, I'll go to Manxianglou to borrow some." Jiaojiao asked me to accompany her for the holidays, but I didn't have time to tell my parents. ”

"What to borrow? If you don't have anything, just say it and ask Mama Li to buy it. And Feng Jiaojiao wants you to accompany her? Liu Wang felt that the eldest daughter was angry with what had just happened.

"Jiaojiao said that her brothers and Uncle Feng are all in the state capital for the holiday this year, but she doesn't want to go, so she wants me to accompany her at home." "Neither of you sisters is at home, so I can't celebrate the holiday with your father alone."

"Mother, isn't there still Cousin Lu. I go to bed early at home, so you let me go to Jiaojiao's. ”

Liu Wang was furious: "Feng Jiaojiao is more important than your sister and your father!" Do you know what your last name is? ”
