A few times the eldest brother Liu Hai came to see her, he would always say something about the family, and when he asked about the second brother Liu Gui, Liu Hai said, "It's okay, Mr. said,

You can go to the Xiucai test. ”，

Pearl smiled reluctantly, the second brother is sixteen, and it will take two years to take the exam, the third young master in the earl's mansion is already a talent at the age of sixteen. Pearl is nineteen this year, the eldest brother Liu Hai is eighteen this year, just married for a year, the eldest sister is seventeen, and the second brother Liu Gui is sixteen. The youngest sister is fourteen, and the youngest brother Liu He is ten years old, and he learns art in the dart bureau in the town. At home now, I'm afraid life is not very good!

It was thirteen days after the journey, and at noon on this day, the carriage arrived in a small village, and as soon as the carriage entered the village, he heard a child following the carriage, and it was not until the carriage stopped that Pearl hurriedly arranged her hair, and knew that it was home.

Pearl Niang Fang came to the side of the carriage, and when Liu Hai lifted the curtain of the carriage, her eyes turned with the person in front of her, and Liu Tonghammer behind her was also very nervous, looking at the people in the carriage, wearing a group of precious fabrics, like a young lady in the city, this is her own girl?

At this time, the pearl on the car is embarrassed, do you want to jump down? It's not pretty, right? The eldest brother Liu Hai knew the pearl, stepped forward, a princess hugged the pearl, hugged the pearl, and said in his mouth,

"Father, mother, lead my sister into the house!"

"Dad, mother!" Pearl blessed her father and mother, and a group of people around her sighed, and some people couldn't help but feel sour, "In the end, it's for people to be girls." ”

Fang Shi glared at the man, and quickly pulled his daughter into the house, until he reached the house, Fang Shi hugged the pearl and cried,

"Oh my big girl! You're back. I miss my mother! ”

"Father, mother, my daughter is back."

"Wow...... Oh my big girl! Liu Tonghammer also shed tears, muttering in his mouth, Pearl also felt that his eyes were sour, remembering that his parents didn't think so much about himself in his previous life.

It took a long time for Liu Tonghammer to say, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Big girl sit down. ”

Fang's immediately turned back to her husband and said, "I can't call it a big girl, last time Dafu said it, a big girl is now called Pearl." ”

"If a pearl is good, it's called a pearl."

Pearl smiled and said, "Dad, help the eldest brother and sister-in-law move things to the house!" Don't lose it again. "There are so many people watching the excitement outside, just three young women are moving things, Liu Hai also knows that there are many people, it is not easy to leave the carriage, the two people who drive the carriage are hired in the capital, and they can't leave the carriage. Aunt Xu could only stand there and watch.

Hearing this, the Fang clan also reacted, and frowned, "Girl, you sit and rest first, and my mother goes." After speaking, he took Liu Tonghammer out to move things.

When I entered the yard, Pearl found that this house has three main rooms and three side rooms, the middle one is the main hall, and the three side rooms next to it are probably for the younger brothers, because there are two lower houses on the other side, which should be kitchens and warehouses.

Pearl sat in the hall, and sure enough, she saw her parents and eldest brother moving things, and did not let the three young women do it again. The carriage is big enough, and the pearl embroidery frame is placed on it, which takes up a lot of space, as well as boxes such as chessboards, guqin, pipa, etc., as well as their own clothes for the four seasons, things that are usually used, and two boxes, packages and boxes sent by others. Bought rice noodles. Fortunately, there were two carriages.

After the things were moved, the carriage went back, and the two people who drove the car also knew that there was no place to stay and eat in such a village, so Pearl thanked Mother Xu and gave Mother Xu a tael of silver, and then closed the gate of the courtyard, and a young man in a long robe walked out of the middle wing room, and also entered the hall. Everyone sat down, and Fang began to introduce.

The eldest brother, Liu Hai, is a carpenter in the village, but he has not yet become an apprentice, and he has to go to the master from time to time to learn. The second brother Liu Gui is very white and handsome, but the arrogance in his eyes makes people look unpleasant. Facing his sister, it seems that he has been wronged. The third brother, Liu He, did not come back.

The three young women, older ones, wore blue cloth skirts, and the green jackets were the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, Zhao, whose clothes were more torn than their own mothers, and even had patches. Compared with the second brother, it is even worse, seeing that Liu Gui is wearing a green cloth gown made of fabric. Zhao's figure is quite tall, but he is a little thin, his face is not good, he is not ugly, and he is accompanied by his youngest son Liu Qiang, who looks like he is only two years old, and he is looking at her aunt with wide eyes at this time!

Another girl in a red dress is her second sister and second girl, and although the clothes on her body are not patched, they are not fresh. The head is tied only with a red headband, and there is no other decoration. looks a little like herself, but now she lowers her head, secretly glances at herself, and lowers her head again, she is a delicate little beauty. The third sister is younger, her hair is a little yellow, very thin, and she is also peeking at the pearl at this time, she is a little excited, but she doesn't dare to come forward.

"Mother, everyone has recognized it, let Zhao cook first! All hungry. Bangs said,

Only then did Fang Shi say, "Oh, it's not! I'm going to kill chickens, I thought you'd come back tomorrow! The meat was not cut. ”

"Hurry up." Liu Tonghammer also said,

Pearl smiled and said, "I'll go change my clothes and clean up by the way, everyone's meeting gift hasn't been given yet!" ”

This really made everyone very excited, who doesn't love gifts?

Just now, the Fang family said that he cleaned up the room of the original third brother Liu He and gave it to Pearl, and in the last room, when Liu He came back, he let Liu He sleep with the second brother Liu Gui.

Pearl came to the door of the west chamber, opened the room, and sure enough, saw that the room was very clean, with new mats on the kang, and new paper on the walls and windows. There is also a dresser in the room. There is a kang kitchen on the kang, and there are two sets of futons on the kang kitchen, which I brought back, silk embroidered quilts. The things I brought back by myself, except for the rice and noodles, are all here, the embroidery stand is put aside, and the chessboard is placed on the table. Two boxes were placed on the ground. The ground is clean and level. Everything is on the kang.

Pearl opened all the packages, put the fabrics in one package, and put the clothes in separate categories. Now that autumn is the time, it is time to make clothes, so I happened to buy eight pieces of cloth by myself, and one piece for each member of the family, and it is enough. I found a few more purses and found three silver hairpins, and the silver phoenix carved flower hairpin was given to my sister-in-law. The two younger sisters are hairpins with a floral pattern for one person, which are very exquisite, and they are all the rules of the house, and the pearls have not been worn much. For the time being, it was a piece of cloth for the Fang clan, and the other things would be discussed later. Pearl is going to give it secretly.

Give the little nephew a purse with a silver nude in it. Then they gave a family of three pieces of cloth, and the one of his nephew Qiangzi was woven with gold satin on a big red background. Big brother's dark blue. The younger siblings gave the color of rose, and the two younger sisters gave lotus cloth and lake blue cloth. The second brother gave navy blue, and the third brother gave dark blue.

Pearl took out the fabrics, and sure enough, everyone was happy. Pearl also gave her sister-in-law and two younger sisters, none of whom were dressed in silk, all of which were given by the maids in the house, and they could be worn out in the countryside. Pearl also prepared something else for her parents, but she didn't want to give it in front of everyone.

By the time Pearl came out with the fabric and the snack box, the family had already dispersed. When Pearl saw Fang's Clan, Fang's Clan took the thing. The one that was given to the bangs' family was sent over. Pearl is not good at sitting and waiting for dinner, so he said that he wanted to help, but Fang Shi was willing to pull Pearl to talk. Seeing that there was no one at this time, Pearl went back to her room. Find two pieces of brocade for your parents, one with a purple rich flower pattern, the other with a dark blue brocade, and a red gold crested hairpin, and a pair of red gold twisted silk bracelets.

"My good daughter, you don't need to give these to your mother, you are so old, just keep it as a dowry." After Fang finished speaking, he pushed in front of the pearl,

Pearl pushed it back and said, "I still have it there." Mother don't worry about me, you stay here, and you will have the confidence to speak in front of your daughter-in-law in the future. ”

Listening to Pearl's words, Fang began to wipe his tears again. Liu Tonghammer also held the pot with the eye bag and sighed. Pearl really doesn't have any suitable clothes on her body, and she is still buying six pieces of cloth back, and you can make a few clothes yourself.

Six pieces of cloth, one rose, one purple, and one lake green. There are also navy blue, dark blue and crimson fabrics. Pearl cut off all four of the fabrics that fit her. The rest was handed over to the Fang family, and she was kept to give favors or make clothes for her family in the future.

Pearl asked Fang to make some soles, she had to make cotton shoes, what she wore in the Hou Mansion was different from what she wore at home, the shoes in the Mansion were good-looking, but they were not thick enough at all, and it was not convenient to work.

In the evening, the Liu family sat down to eat together, and it was rare for the pearl to come back, and Fang asked the eldest daughter-in-law Zhao to kill a chicken, and cooked a large pot of white rice, and the family ate it with an open belly. Even Liu Gui, who eats better, eats too much.

Pearl also brought back snacks, a total of four boxes of snacks, two round boxes, two square boxes. Pearl asked Fang to find other oiled paper to wrap up, these boxes were better left to hold things.

"Girl, when you tell your mother, you are a girl, not a concubine, right?"

Pearl smiled, "Mother, I am serving the old lady in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in the capital. It's really a girl, I don't believe you let people go to the house to ask, your daughter is not that kind of person. ”

"It seems that my girl is very decent to the old lady! Look at this thing. Fang's smile was very happy, and he was even happier when he heard that his daughter was really just a maid. It's gold, it's silver, and it's cloth, but it's not something that ordinary people can have. Who is the woman in the village who wears such a good fabric? Golden hairpin, gold bracelet, she never dared to think that there would be this thing in her life, if she took it out, or gave it to her daughter-in-law, how decent would it be?
