How could Zhou Yue'e not know her brother's temper, it was impossible to say that there was no complaint at all. But now seeing that Lan Yi's style and appearance are greatly beyond Zhou Yue'e's expectations, she is very satisfied, and she can't blame Lan Yi for this.

Zhou Yue'e helped her up and pulled her to sit on the chair, "Brother and sister, get up quickly, I'm an anxious person, after listening to Wei Ji say something about you, I want to come over and have a look, and talk to you about myself." ”

Lan Yi listened to her elongated tone when she called "brother and sister", blushed again, and secretly rejoiced that Zhou Yue'e was still a good person to get along with.

"Second sister, I heard that the second brother said that you opened a shop on the edge of Lijia Village, how is business late?"

"It's not a shop, it's just a few tables and benches to sell tea and make a lot of hard money." Zhou Yue'e said modestly, "Brother and sister, Wei Ji told me everything about you, it's really not easy." Are you feeling better now, but you still can't remember what happened before? ”

Lan Yi shook her head, "When I went back to Meixian County to see my biological parents, I only felt kind, but I didn't remember the past. Dad took me to see a few Langzhong, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to remember in the future. This time, my child and I were able to go to Meixian County safely to recognize our parents, thanks to the second brother's escort and care all the way, my parents are also grateful to him. ”

"Brother and sister are polite, he is a fast catcher, he should be divided, and besides, we are neighbors, so we should help each other, right?" What's more, his stupid brother has long been interested in others, and he must be willing to do this from the heart, Zhou Yue'e took Lan Yi's hand and smiled.

"My brother and sister are still used to living in the village, right? We're not as dirty and messy here as we are in the city. "Lan Yi is not like an ordinary peasant woman, at first glance, she is pampered with fine skin and tender meat, and she has indeed been wronged in the village.

"Although life in the village has been a bit harder, my children and I feel that we are living a solid life." Lan Yi said truthfully.

"Brother and sister said it well, don't we women just want to live a down-to-earth life." Zhou Yue'e nodded in agreement. Lan Yi dealt with it decently, her eyes were calm, and she knew at a glance that it was not a water-based Yanghua, Zhou Yue'e was completely relieved, and the two chatted more and more speculatively, "Although Wei Ji is rude and has a big temper, he is a capable Gu family, he will not treat you and the child badly after getting married, if he does something bad, you just tell your sister, and your sister will beat him for you." ”

Zhou Weiji understood with her that Lan Yi wanted to marry into the Zhou family with her two children. Zhou Yue'e knew that the two children were not Lan Yi's own, so she didn't have much disgust. Although the cost of raising a child is not small, but the younger brother Yamen has monthly money and a field at home, I heard the Yang family say that Lan Yi is very capable, and there will be no shortage of food for these two children.

Lan Yi heard her so straightforward, so she endured shyness to express her attitude: "Second sister, Brother Tuesday is good, don't dislike the two children, ...... me It's good that I'm blessed to be able to marry him. ”

Zhou Yue'e grinned when she heard that she also fell in love with her stupid brother, "Brother and sister, don't worry, Wei Ji is not as evil as the people in the village say, he is a stuffy gourd, but his nature is not bad, and he has no fancy intestines, marrying you will not let you be wronged." He told me that after the Spring Festival, he will tear down the house and rebuild it, clean it up and marry you again. Although the conditions of our Zhou family are not good, I have always saved the capital for his daughter-in-law, and we should have a lot. ”

Lan Yi didn't care too much about the house, it would be better to build it when she got married, and she could build it to her liking, "Second sister, it doesn't have to be like this, I see that the house is quite good, it is similar to the one in this courtyard, and it can be lived in if it is cleaned up." ”

Anyway, from the outside, it was only a little old, and Lan Yi looked at it a few times.

"Silly girl, that's from the outside, you haven't been in the house and don't know, the roof of the Westinghouse is broken, and the walls are cracked and leaking, and it's very cold. Several times I asked Wei Ji to live with me or rent a place in the city, but he just refused and insisted on coming back. There was a bit of ridicule in Zhou Yue's tone.

Lan Yi's face turned red again, didn't it be obvious that Zhou Weiji stayed at home because of himself. "Second sister, I am a widow with a child, and I rarely go out except to the fields. It's true that I haven't entered my brother's yard on Tuesday, but he always has the gate open, and I've seen it back and forth a few times. ”

"Look at what I said, if I didn't know the details, I would really treat you as a widow who guards the door and lives a life, it's hard for you to be so down-to-earth at a young age." Sister Zhou laughed, remembered something, and sighed, "Sister knows that you are a rule-abiding person and have a good heart, otherwise my stupid brother would not have fallen in love with you." He has a hard life, he has no mother since he was a child, and my father also went when he was twelve years old, and he is left alone in the family. I persuaded him to go to my second uncle's house to live with my grandfather, but he refused to do so, and later signed up for the recruitment without telling me. He was only thirteen years old that year, and he was not as tall as me, so he went with the group, and he brought two clothes with him...... To be able to come back is that the Bodhisattva and his father and mother are blessed by heaven. Wei Ji has endured hardships outside all these years, but he still doesn't tell me anything, and every time he asks, he says it's good...... can wait for your brother and sister, and your brother is bitter. My younger siblings will take care of him more for my sister in the future, so that he can have food and clothing and a home, and I will be satisfied. ”

Zhou Yue'e choked up, tears falling one by one.

Lan Yi listened, thinking about his appearance, and felt uncomfortable, "Second brother has you, but there is someone in the family who hurts." Second sister, don't worry, I'm not pampered and ignorant, I will take care of my second brother after I get married. ”

Zhou Yue'e raised her sleeves embarrassedly to wipe her tears, "Look at my unproductive person, let my younger brothers and sisters laugh." Brother and sister, you don't know, when I came back to the house is a dry pot and cold stove, I haven't seen him eat a mouthful of hot rice, Wei Ji he doesn't feel sorry for himself, I'm far away as a sister, and I can't take care of him, and my heart hurts when I think about it. ”

Lan Yi burst into tears, feeling that he hadn't done well enough, he had come back after a hard day, and he should have left him food and handed it over, which didn't take much effort, but he had never sat with him.

After sending Zhou Yue'e and Yang away, Lan Yi stood by the wall, and wanted to knock on the wall to call Zhou Weiji over, cook for him, and talk to him, even if it was just to look at him.

In the afternoon, she and Jia Shi picked out the boiled, sterilized and half-dried duck feathers and cut off the hard stems, and the rest was combed and soft, ready to make down jackets. Before going to Meixian, Lan Yi had already made down jackets and pants for her and her two children, and now it was not too cold, but she had put on the down shoulders sooner or later, which was really light and warm.

With these duck feathers at home, she plans to make down jackets for Jia and Zhou Weiji. Jia Shi was very interested in the down jacket made by Lan Yi, and said that after improving the stitching method, there would be less or no drilling, and it would be more comfortable to wear.

Speaking of acupuncture, Lan Yi has a 100% headache. Before returning from Meixian, her mother Zheng gave her the knowledge of making up for female popularity, and told Jia to watch Lan Yi do more needlework after she came back, at least so that she could handle the clothes she made. When a woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty got married, she had to sew the inner and outer clothes on her body by herself, and Lan Yi was now supervised by the Jia family to sew the wedding dress.

For Lan Yi, who can only use the flat bag needle method to make clothes, she can still learn needles, thread needles, triangular needles, herringbone needles and other stitches, and then complex embroidery needles such as ground embroidery, Kaitian embroidery, Saga brocade embroidery, pine needle embroidery, Sheng Song embroidery, cut embroidery, lock embroidery, declension embroidery, fold back embroidery, ice crack embroidery, Kan embroidery, Sagara embroidery, cage embroidery, reembroidery, mustard embroidery and other dozens of embroidery methods are simply her life, and she is staring at it.

Every time Jia Shi saw her stiff fingers when she was doing needlework, he sighed and said how well she did the needlework in the previous spring, so that if she did more, she could pick up the previous kung fu. The point is, she's not a spring peach! It's a handful of snot and tears.

Needlework is not good, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are only through Go, calligraphy can only enter the eye, and painting is even more abstract. After Lan Yi arrived here, she felt that she was a high-level intellectual at first, but after chatting with Lei Tianze a few times, she was hit hard.

The knowledge system of the Great Zhou is completely different from that of modern times, and it is difficult to appreciate this huge difference unless you have experienced it yourself. For example, Lei Tianze told her an interesting story about how he saw people buying things and bargaining.

Here's what happened: In front of the vendor selling hats and crowns, a gentleman who wanted to buy a crown discussed with another scholar who was traveling with him: "'How about 'Yan Yuan'?"

The fellow scholar said: "No, and only "Township Party". ”

The vendor who sold the hat and crown turned around and left, and when he was stopped, he explained: "I heard what I said, but I can't do it." Since the book of "Wei Linggong". ”

Lei Tianze laughed very happily after speaking, but Lan Yi felt that there were three crows flying in front of him, and he didn't hear any laughter.

Lei Tianze was quite strange to see her like this, and after explaining, Lan Yi understood where the laughter was, but she felt that she couldn't cry or laugh. According to the arrangement of the Analects, "Yan Yuan" is the twelfth article, "Xiang Party" is the tenth article, and "Wei Linggong" is the fifteenth article. That is to say, the buyer wants to counteroffer 1 guan 200 wen, and the companion thinks that it should be repaid to 1 guan, and the small vendor who sells the crown says that the cost alone is 1 guan 500 wen, so he refuses to sell it.

It can be seen that the popularization of Confucianism in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not only for scholars, but even for small vendors, but Lan Yi does not know, this can still be regarded as an intellectual! Compared with Confucianism, she admires Taoism more and is familiar with Lao Zhuang, Confucius's "Analects" can only be read, but can not be recited, and it is impossible to know which article is familiar with the name of such a text.

Lan Yi sighed, there are still a lot of things she should learn.

"Tao'er, but what did the second sister of the Zhou family say that made you uncomfortable?" Seeing Lan Yi sitting in front of the duck feathers sighing in a daze, Jia Shi asked with concern.

Lan Yi quickly came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly, "No, Sister Tuesday treated me politely and very well." Aunt Yao, you are busy first, let's eat pork belly stew tonight, I will go out to weigh the meat, and by the way, I will get the two children back. ”

Lan Yi went to find two children first, they were playing the game of catching and catching thieves in the wheat field, which was newly given to them by Lan Yi this year, the game is very simple, a group of children are running wildly, a few people should catch fast, most of them should be thieves, divided into two teams to stand in a drawn circle, the game begins with thieves running and catching fast chase, after being caught up, the thieves stand in place and cannot move, until all the thieves are caught, and then guess the fist to divide the next round of catching fast and thieves. The game is simple, but it's very popular with kids, and Yu'er has fun with a few older kids. Wen Xuan also had a small circle with Zhao Lizheng's grandson Zhao Xiaopang, the third child of the Yang family, the eldest girl of Lin Xi's family and the second girl of Lin Yuan's family, and a few other three or four-year-old girls who were three or four years old, and the Wu family and the Liu family also chatted hotly next to them.

Lan Yi said a few polite words and brought the two unfinished children home for dinner. She bought two catties of meat, made a big pot of pork belly stew, and fried three vegetarian dishes, each dish was divided into a hot pot, Jia knew that she was reserved for Zhou Weiji, and only smiled and didn't say anything.

Today, Zhou Wei rode home on horseback, and Lan Yi smiled when she heard the voices of him and Zhou Yue. After Zhou Yue'e left, she threw the note over the wall, told Zhou Weiji that he didn't need to cook, and handed it to him when it was dark, and asked him to find a well-fitting underwear, and she would compare the size to make him a down jacket to keep him warm.

"Aunt Yao, you take the children to take a bath first, and I'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks." After the meal, Lan Yi took the initiative to ask to wash the dishes. The two little ones are sweating hot and are prone to illness if they don't take a bath.

Jia Shi nodded, pulled one up with one hand and said to Lan Yi: "I estimate that I will wash for a while, and then come out when Yu'er and Wenxuan's hair is dry, don't worry." ”

Lan Yi knew that she had misunderstood, thinking that she was going to Zhou Weiji's courtyard, "Aunt Yao, where do you want to go, I just sent a meal to Brother Tuesday through the wall, and asked him to hand over some clothes by the way." ”

By this time, it was dark. Lan Yi took out the food and put it in the basket, stepped on the small stool, and gently knocked on the wall with her fist, the courtyard wall was two and a half meters high, and she stepped on the stool and raised her arms to hand the basket to the wall.

Zhou Wei had been waiting on the opposite side for a long time, and when he heard the voice, he jumped directly onto the wall, reached out to take the basket, and put it aside.

Lan Yi looked carefully but couldn't see Zhou Weiji's expression clearly, as if he had a thousand words and couldn't speak, he only stretched out his hands and waited for him to hand over the clothes, but he didn't expect to be pulled up by Zhou Weiji's arm and hugged him in his arms. R1152
