The fourth child who got off work in the afternoon came back and found that a few cricket cans he found were missing, and he came to me to ask for them, and he couldn't stop saying that I was stingy. Lanling took it, I had no choice but to promise to do something to send her again, it was still the same style, so that the coaxing and coaxing didn't work for a long time. When I was worried, Ying relieved me of the siege and talked to the fourth child alone, which must have been to discuss the matter of job hopping.

The result of the discussion made Ying very annoyed, the old four donkeys had a temper attack, they would rather die than transfer, crying loudly and tragically, in order not to harm the pond fish, I and the second daughter packed some change and ran out of the house to take refuge, and did not come back after dark.

Due to the two new workshops on the Zhuangzi, more than 200 craftsmen have been added at once, especially the large residential area where the papermaking workshop started, and there are a lot of men, women and children who drag their families, these people are different from the farmers who rely on the ground to eat, they have a lot of wages in their hands, and their consumption power is comparable to the ** non-agricultural family, but the Wangjia Zhuangzi is far away from the capital, so some shrewd traders rented houses close to the workshop and transformed them into shops to start a business, and the craftsmen who got off work every day came to shop in groups. Zhuangzi, who had been silent, suddenly became lively.

In summer, the days are long, and it is dark late, so I have a lot of time to wander around, and I am led by the second daughter towards the crowded shop. Because I frequently appeared when the water was noisy, most of the people in the village were familiar with me, and when they saw me and my second daughter coming, they either avoided it, or came up to greet them respectfully, and the treatment of the emperor made me satisfied.

All small facades, few goods are pitiful, the most high-end is pots and bowls, thimbles, there is a small wine shop, seasonal vegetables are mixed with wine, pigs and sheep are luxuries, the weather is hot, afraid of not fresh, did not dare to eat outside with the second daughter. Yaowu was bored for a while, and he couldn't stand the hunger, so he still went back to Zhuangkou Bridge and weighed two catties of maltose and walked home nervously.

"If the fourth child quits, and you can't justifiably take over the flower water workshop, what should you do?" I've been worrying about this matter, the flower water workshop is nominally from the Chen family, and the fourth child can withstand this statement and want to be transferred. The second lady of the Wang family suddenly became the big shopkeeper, and the Wang family had no face to mix in the circle.

"The fourth child can't leave, so don't worry." The second daughter licked the big sugar cube with a smile, today I asked the maltose grandfather to deliberately knock the sugar into large pieces, the kind that can't be eaten in one bite, so as not to make the two girls eat a few clicks. It's not that it costs money, a mouthful of worm teeth will be pulled out before they are old, and they are uncomfortable. The person watching it was also uncomfortable, "No matter how powerful the lady is, she can't grind her, her temper is stubborn and weird, or take the concubine around before it gets dark." Now I have a black face when I go back, and I don't want to be scolded. ”

"You're not hungry?" Today, I patronized with Lanling to study cotton, and I didn't eat much, so everything I saw was associated with marshmallows. The stomach is very weak, "Go back and eat indiscriminately, you can get into the house and don't come out, no matter how angry Madame is, I can't rush in and scold you." Ying is still measured in this regard, not as colorless as some grandmothers, who take the concubine if they are a little angry, not to mention that the second daughter has been with her for so long. But I might be a little involved. Especially in the marriage of the fourth child, my performance is very inactive, and it is easy to be affected. "Recently, you should be careful, according to what you said, the fourth child will not talk to the death, and Madame will inevitably be in a bad mood. Show up less and listen to the call. ”

"Yes!" The second daughter nodded, and when she saw that there was no one around, she came up and grabbed my arm. The body naturally squeezed a few times. whispered: "Husband, the concubines are all adults......

"Yes." I looked around, "Go back and tell me how ugly it is to touch people outside." ”

"The fourth child stays at home and doesn't leave, and the old concubine sleeps at night, and he can't go back to the kang." The second girl's face fluttered red, and her eyes were shaking, "You have to find a way to get rid of it." Does the husband want to be a concubine? ”

"Go, just a few days ago and make a mistake," cherished the second daughter's head, usually sleeping in a bed without paying much attention, the little girl has grown into a big girl, her figure is plumper than Ying, and she will be able to catch up with Lanling in a few years, "Enter the courtyard, don't attract people's attention, follow behind." ”

"Hehe," the second daughter obediently let go of her hand and followed me, "Husband, please." ”

"Whisper, I'll go in and have a look, call Madame away, you sneak to the main room and don't come out." When I returned home, I took the second daughter to the kitchen to get some food and drink, and let her eat after entering the house, "The fourth child is probably also angry in the house, you eat with her, and I will persuade Mrs." You two don't show up less. ”

Ying sat on a chair and sat outside the door of the room drinking tea, her face was calm, and she looked at me sneakily into the courtyard with a smile, "Zhuangzi is all right?" "Asked without waiting for me to speak.

"It's all good, the river ditch dug a lot of mud out, a good material for fertilizing the land." Moved a chair and sat down against Ying Ying when he entered the door, "The people in the depression behind have newly drawn the land, and the foundation will be laid in two days, and our Zhuangzi will become more and more lively in the future." Look, I only opened a few shops, and I didn't have any goods, so I bought a new thimble for my wife. I twisted my body and took out a thimble to cover Yingdi's vision, and glanced at the second girl who was probing her brain at the door.

Ying took it with a smile, took it and tried it, "Thank you, husband, it's hand in hand." Then he turned my body away and shouted, "Second daughter, come here!" Sneaky, what about learning thieves? ”

fell short, and the second daughter was discovered at the moment when she was about to enter the door, and she came over honestly with a lunch box to confess her guilt, looking pitiful.

"Delivered food? Put this, my wife and I will eat today, you and the fourth child will go to the kitchen to order by yourself," Seeing that the second daughter was captured, he hurriedly came out to play a round, "Just put it away." flashed a look at the second daughter and shouted, "What are you doing stupidly?" Don't hurry up yet! ”

The two daughters cooperated professionally, turned around and disappeared in a panic.

"Husband, you're really ......" Ying turned her head to look at me with a smile, and reached out to dust her on my shoulder, "As for it?" is still protecting like this, the concubine body can kill the second daughter. Saying that, he sighed, opened the lunch box and looked at it, "The old four have a stinky temper that is inviolable." She wants to marry into a big family, this sister has paved the way, and she is reluctant to go to the princess's side, looking for death and life, and the concubine body is so unpopular? ”

"Children are not sensible, they don't understand the minds of adults, don't take it to heart, madam." The second daughter served a lot of food, and there were a lot of tricks. handed the chopsticks to Ying's hand and comforted: "You should worry about her, it's normal for her to not like you to worry, who hasn't passed this age?" It's all people who have come over, just think about it. After a few years, she will know your hard work, and in addition to gratitude, it is still grateful. It's hot, eat a few bites, Mrs. is heavy-minded, and it makes people feel distressed to see how thin they are. ”

"That's what I said." Ying smiled bitterly a few times, and put a piece of meat in my bowl, "It's true that the husband feels sorry for the concubine." Feeling it, this is what the woman's family picture is, and that's enough. It doesn't matter if she feels grateful or not, as long as she has a good life," she took a sip of mash and smiled, "Actually, when the concubine got married, she also made a lot of trouble, which is a bit similar to the fourth child." It's just not as good as her. ”

"Yes, I want to." It's not free love in this era, I haven't even met in person, who girl is willing to sleep with a strange man, Ying is not surprised. Smiled and asked, "Before marrying me." I'm afraid I've promised someone else, right? Who is it? Tomorrow, I will take someone to demolish his house. ”

Ying listened to what I said interestingly, and replied with a smile: "It's all nonsense, the concubine was written when she was a child, but she was not as crazy as the fourth child." I didn't even see people from many places. The second elder has been engaged to the marriage, and he has been raised as everyone's ladies, not to be able to climb the high gate of the Wang family. Brushing his hair, he recalled: "It was winter that year, and the concubine was still young, and she was planning to get a sole." Suddenly, there were many guests in the house, and the parents liked to set up a flowing water banquet for a day, regardless of whether they knew the local people or not. Even the words and thank-yours changed their tone, changing their humble posture in the past. In the end, I learned that it was a family engagement, at that time, I heard that I was going to marry the eldest grandson of the founding marquis, and the concubine was also very close in body and mind, who knew that the closer to the time of marriage, the more panicked my heart was, and I sulked for no reason in the next few days. The second daughter was miserably trampled on. Hehe. "It is estimated that the memories of the past diluted Ying's thoughts, and she took a big sip of mash." On the day of the wedding, the concubine really had no idea, and she sent porcelain all night, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she forgot to cry her parents when she went out. Fused with memories, Ying's face showed the shyness of the bride, and her small eyes were watery and good-looking, "The scene of the wedding is big, so big that the merchant family can't imagine it, who knows that as soon as you pass the door, you will be thrown into the house alone without conscience for several years, and only after a serious illness can you remember the benefits of the concubine." She glanced at me coquettishly, stuffed food into her mouth to hide her shame, and bowed her head for a long time before speaking, "The fourth child just saw the scene of the concubine getting married, and clamored to marry a big family." Now that she is looking for a big family, she will bite back and not go to the princess's side. That's it, the heart that should be done has been done, and it depends on her blessings in the future. ”

I love to see Ying's appearance the most, with a small nose, small eyes and a small face, and when she is shy, she swings her small appearance, and she can't do it if she is not distressed. Contrary to the atmospheric appearance and temperament of the woman in Guanzhong, Ying is young and home, especially when she is with Lanling Station, it is two weather. Ying's strengths, Lanling doesn't touch at all, and Lanling's advantages are not touched, and Ying can't touch each other, complementing each other. There are only two daughters, as if they are a synthesis of the two, with the atmosphere of Lanling, and the beauty of the land, and even the thoughts overlap with the two.

I don't know if Wu Zetian will win easily if he meets an opponent like Ernu, maybe the two of them will fight for twelve rounds, and the probability of Ernu winning is relatively high. I have to spend some time on this girl to watch the transformation, it doesn't matter if she is stupid, just don't make a mess.

"What does the husband think? So distracted? Seeing that I didn't speak, Ying asked curiously.

"Little things, listen to what you say and start thinking cranky." I took a puff fan and shook it a few times, "I didn't see any eggs today, hehe." ”

"The second daughter is tired of eating, but the dishes are delicious, and the girl is confused." Ying laughed at me for protecting my second daughter, rolled a pancake and put it in front of me, "Before I got married, I used my second daughter as a maid, and I was angry with her." Now it's different, after the husband recovers from his illness, he suddenly feels that he has something to rely on, and his heart has changed so much that he doesn't even know himself. The second daughter is treated like a baby raised by a concubine, and she is reluctant to fight. ”

Ying is crazy about the child, since she saw the child from Wei Chi's house, she kept chattering, and there was only one of the two daughters who could play mother's love around, and the management became more and more trivial. Why eat more sugar and get on the fire, watch and drink goat's milk before going out, see the unruly appearance and raise your hand to teach lessons and doting for no reason and other things often happen, the second daughter also has a fear of the master and servant between the master and the servant, and the trend of awe of the juniors to the elders is very complicated.

"Don't take it too seriously, we're only in our early twenties, and the days to come will be long." As soon as she said this, Ying's mood that had changed for the better turned bad again, and she comforted: "This has to be touched, and it is a coincidence, there are only three or five in one breath." We've not hit the right time yet, have we? You see Cui Zhang, he started a family many years earlier than us, didn't he just add a girl in the middle of the year? "Speaking of this, I want to talk about Cui Zhang's birthday the day after tomorrow, "You have a good relationship with Mrs. Cui's family, the day after tomorrow, Cui Zhang's birthday, what should I send?" ”

"Speaking of Mrs. Cui, I also talked to the concubine before the rain," Ying thought for a while. "The birthday is heavy, and the light can't show the identity, it's best to be calligraphy and painting. Qin Yu sent several of them when he was apprenticing, and the concubine selected a few to take them. He looked at me with a strange expression, "Don't worry about so much gossip, the Cui family is a big family in the former dynasty, and they made great contributions when they founded the country, and they are prosperous." Mrs. Cui also always said that Cui Chang admires your talent. It just so happens that it is good to walk around a lot on a regular basis. This time, I happened to send it over in person,"

"Hehe, I don't care, it's just that I've been busy lately, so I'll definitely go in person this time." Other people's gossip can also block people's mouths. Cui Zhang is also thin-skinned, and as soon as people say it, he is embarrassed to look for me, and the more gossip like this, the more powerful it is. This time, I happened to go to the door to find him, "Next time, I caught the rumor-monger and chopped off my tongue." Everybody else has it. ”

Ying smiled: "It's no wonder that people spread the rumors, my husband didn't run around with him last year, plus Cui Zhang's good looks......" Speaking of good looks, Ying smiled happily, "How can a man have a woman's face, Mrs. Cui is also strange and weekdays, hehe......"

It's hard, and my wife is not as good-looking as her husband. The sisters and sisters in the bed get goosebumps all over their bodies when they think about it. "Don't mess with others, hurry up and eat, it's cold." knocked Ying with chopsticks, and his mind was not pure at all.

The fourth child didn't change jobs after all, and Lanling got the news the next day, and was extremely disappointed, breaking two brushes in a row.

"People don't go. What are you angry with my brush? "I feel distressed to death. I just bought high-end goods, a penny of silver. "You write less today, I don't have so many pens for you at home."

"Hehe, the days go by carefully, what a big deal." Lan Ling realized that he was out of shape and laughed, "Don't come and pull it down." The first time no one sold my account, I lost my temper, and it was like this in front of you. ”

Lanling has this character, if he has a temper, he will send it out, admit it after speaking, and will not implicate anyone.

"Did you ask about cotton yesterday?" I took the broken floor brush and made it up for a while, but there was no tape, so I couldn't pick it up, and it was a pity to throw it away.

"Just start inquiring, see if you're in a hurry." Lan Ling grabbed the broken pen from my hand and threw it away, "Big man, he doesn't look good, what are you thinking about when it's broken?" I heard that the 'South Forest Garden' (the Royal Nursery, which specializes in providing seedlings and flowers for the Royal Forest Garden) has a few florists from Tianzhu who will plant that, why don't we go over and have a look? ”

"Now?" It doesn't matter if you and Lanling are at home, the two of them will immediately provoke gossip when they go out together, "It's inconvenient for the two of us to go, right?" Besides, people don't necessarily let me in. ”

"So I'll bring you a waist card," he said, handing over a bronze sign, "I won't go with you, you go to your land, I'll go mine, it's irrelevant." ”

"Oh," I took the waist card and looked at it, there was nothing unpleasant, and it was not very delicate, "Is there any cotton now?" ”

"It's going to take a month, so I'll tell them to collect more flower seeds and find a piece of land to plant next year." Lanling moved his wrist, "I twisted it when I was fencing in the morning, and it was hard and sore. ”

"You're not careful." I took my hand and flipped it over and over again, but it didn't change, "You wait, just make a jar for you." "I know how to cupping when I'm young, my mother is more superstitious about this, whether it's a headache or brain fever or twisting her legs and feet, don't see a doctor first, call me to come over and pull a cupping for her. I found a few empty bottles of toilet water in the running room, and dipped some wine in the sackcloth and brought them over.

"Would you do this?" Lan Ling looked at the small porcelain bottle that was tightly sucked on his wrist, "I can't see that the fire jar is first-class, but everyone is drawn by stroke and cold, is it useless to sprain it?" ”

"Rush to the doctor in a hurry, whether you top it or not, and you can't pull out the dead," she said, and pulled one more on the back of her wrist, one in front and one behind, symmetrical. "Today, I can't write because I can't write."

"You didn't want to write it for a long time, and you made an excuse for being lazy." Lanling enjoyed the taste of cupping very much, and his hand was on the armrest, "How can you suck it on the meat as soon as the fire burns?" Still sucking so steadily? ”

"That's a long story, and I can't tell you clearly in three or five days." There is no test equipment at hand, physics and chemistry are involved, and it is a bit difficult to answer this question purely in words.

"If you understand, tell me, if you don't understand, don't pretend." Lanling glanced at me disdainfully, "One day in front of me to recharge, what's so difficult to say about a small jar, it will take three or five days?" ”

Lanling is a little too big, not to mention her, there are many people who don't know this truth after a thousand years, and it can be regarded as a genius to understand it in three or five days, of course, first of all, I have to have a talent for language. "It's okay to tell you, but it's not very useful, at least not much for now, and it's costly."

"Say!" Lanling smiled proudly, "Don't hide it, I don't plan to give you a vacation." As he spoke, he changed his comfortable position and half-lay on the soft chair, not like a student seeking knowledge, but like a debt collector to collect debts.

"I owe you!" got up and took a cup of tea, moistened his mouth first, "Listen." ”
