Chapter 31: Haggard
In her previous life, when Nie Xiaofan was in English class, she always fantasized that the knowledge of the English teacher could run into her head, so that she could learn knowledge without bothering about it. Now it has really been fulfilled in her. She can easily get the knowledge of the original owner. You can read ancient texts. Although her learning focus is very different from the original owner, she finally has some foundation.
The original owner loved poetry and songs. Nie Xiaofan is not so elegant, she is a person who has struggled on the food and clothing line, and what she wants is to learn more survival skills. So Nie Xiaofan can't understand it now with the account book, and she can only study it slowly by herself.
Liu Yu added a cup of tea, and seeing that she had been watching for a long time, she wanted to lead her to speak: "Girl, the slave maid heard about something. Say you're having fun?"
Nie Xiaofan snorted. Liu Yu said: "The slave maid heard that the eldest master reprimanded Aunt Mei last night, and ordered that she was not allowed to see the fourth girl and the second young master again. This time, Aunt Mei stole chickens and rice, and the slaves and maids had to cry and faint when they saw her. ”
Nie Xiaofan still looked at the account book, but said: "Father has a good temper, this does not mean that he is willing to be teased by a concubine." Liu Yu fanned Nie Xiaofan and said with a smile: "Aunt Mei has been by the side of the eldest master for a long time, and she gave birth to a pair of children. It is inevitable that you will be impetuous and do not know what to do. ”
This is reasonable, Nie Xiaofan looked at Liu Yu in disbelief: "It's hard for you to understand this, so I want to stimulate Aunt Mei, so that she can know that even if she is wronged by me, no one in this family will make decisions for her." She sees her position clearly, so that she will not be confused in the future. ”
Liu Yu also meant this, but she still looked down on Aunt Mei's behavior: "Ignore this for now, just say that the girl is willing to teach the fourth girl, it is for her good." She doesn't know how to lift up. Aunt Mei actually wants to calculate you. Just rush this, we have to give her some color and see!" Nie Xiaofan smiled and said, "This matter has been revealed." But just ask their mother and daughter to be honest. ”
Nie Xiaofan still has a lot of things to do, and she is anxious to strengthen herself, otherwise how can she live a good life? Is she attached to others like other daughters? Isn't it because so many women with tragic fates in ancient times are all because they can only rely on men? They don't have a choice, and they don't know how to choose. Although Nie Xiaofan can't be innovative in Dasheng. But she still has to stay within the rules and give herself more chips.
Just thinking about it, Fennel came to report that Mama Jiang asked to see her. Nie Xiaofan asked Liu Yu to take a tael of silver to reward her, and said, "You go and tell Mama Jiang that you don't blame her for what happened yesterday." She just taught Nie Xuan well as I told her. This tael of silver can be regarded as a shock to her. Tell her to go back and study the ledger well, and I will still ask her to take care of the ledger in the future. ”
Liu Yu did as she said, and Mama Jiang took the silver and was apprehensive. She thought that the girl would throw her out yesterday, but the girl finally saved her. According to Liu Yu's meaning, did the girl already know that she didn't teach the rules before, but was just lazy at the fourth girl? Mama Jiang shivered and hurriedly went back to her room to sit. The room that Nie Xiaofan arranged for her in the Zhuxiang Courtyard was very simple, except for the kang, which was just a table and four stools. But Mama Jiang wore a sinful body and didn't dare to ask too much.
Mama Jiang carefully put the silver in her hand on the table, and her mind was full of emotions for a while. When the wife is there, she is not taken seriously, but the wife treats the little girls preferentially, and her role is to scare and scare the girls when they are not responsible. When the wife went, she wisely chose to serve the eldest young master, and seeing that no one in this mansion was in charge of the eldest young master, she wanted to control the future ruler of the Nie family. Now think about how funny this idea is? Maybe the girl just knew that she was funny, so she was too lazy to bother with her. Mama Jiang thought for a long time, and finally sighed heavily: "It's not your duty to be a slave, that's a big taboo!"
After lunch, Nie Xiaonian returned to Shao'an Academy to study as usual. Nie Xiaofan waited for a long time and didn't see Nie Xiao'e come to the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard. Liu Yu said: "The slave maid heard that the eldest girl came back today, but the slave maid saw that the maid in Fu'an Hall was not busy, so she didn't take it to heart. Now it seems to be true. Nie Xiaofan put away her embroidery shed. said: "When the eldest sister comes back, she shouldn't go to say hello to the old lady." Why don't we go to the second sister and see her. It's not bad for the sisters to sit together and gossip. Nie Xiaofan thought to himself, it would be good if he could ask them to go to Xifu to see the concubine together. When she went to see her alone, it was always too dazzling.
As soon as Nie Xiaofan changed her clothes, a little girl came to report, saying that the two sisters had asked her to go to see Nie Mei, the eldest lady of Xifu. I thought of it together. Nie Xiaofan asked Liu Yu to prepare two plain satins. came to the second gate, Nie Xiao'e and eldest sister Nie Xiaolan were already waiting. Nie Xiaolan is eighteen years old, and her husband is the eldest son of Master Li in the Ministry of War. Jiang's in-laws picked up.
Nie Xiaolan's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her sister Nie Xiao'e. It's two more heroic than her. She combed her hair down. Wearing a double-rank chicken heart pendant small silver phoenix hairpin, and a pearl chain to wipe the forehead. Wears a primrose yellow satin long coat and a white midcoat. When Nie Xiaofan saw them, he took a few steps forward and bowed: "Let the two sisters wait for a long time!" Nie Xiaolan hurriedly helped her up. said: "Third sister, don't be polite. It's my rudeness!" Nie Xiaolan felt that since she had asked her out, she should have gone to Zhuxiangyuan in person to say it. But she just sent the little girl to say that she would wait here first. Nie Xiaofan didn't mind these details. She smiled, and the three sisters went out arm in arm.
The carriage belonged to Nie Xiaolan, and Nie Xiaofan could feel Nie Xiaolan's concern for Nie Mei after chatting in the carriage for a while. Nie Xiaofan remembered that when he was young, Sister Nie Xiaolan and Nie Yuan were not treated well by the old lady, so they played very well.
When they arrived at Xifu, the carriage went straight outside the second gate. Aunt Yu is already waiting. The three sisters followed Aunt Yu into the inner courtyard and went to see Lian first.
The three of them saluted, and Nie Xiaolan ran towards Lian's and said, "What's wrong with my aunt, I've lost a lot of weight, but I'm worried about my eldest sister?" Nie Xiaofan raised his eyes and looked, Fang felt that Lian's was more than ten years older than the last time they met. Last time, she wasn't in good spirits, but she was also in good spirits. Why does it look like the whole person is wilted today, and now it is as if I am cheering up to see the three of them.
Lian Shi looked at Nie Xiaolan and said angrily: "You are all mothers, and you are still in shape like when you were a child." "Nie Xiaolan gave birth to the eldest daughter of the Li family at the beginning of this year. But she still has this cool temperament. Nie Xiaofan said: "Auntie, don't be in a hurry to talk about sister, first tell me how you tortured yourself like this?" Nie Xiao'e also agreed.
Lian shook his head and chuckled: "Auntie's motherhood is hard, how can you children understand?" Lian Shi looked at Nie Xiaolan and said, "I'm afraid that the eldest girl will understand a little." Nie Xiaofan said with a smile: "Since it is for the sake of the juniors, the aunt should take care of herself." Now not to mention Sister Mei, you still have so many children to worry about. ”
