Chapter 43: Helpless

I thought that she and a little doll had nothing to say, but Miss Gao didn't expect that she not only opened her mouth, but also said a lot of things.

The words that Shan Tao has learned recently are all verses from the Book of Songs, and seeing that Miss Gao is so sentimental about a poem praising a girl to be married, it can be inferred that she is very dissatisfied with her family affairs.

The children of large families always see people's hearts earlier, either because they already have their hearts, or they are afraid of the unknown husband's family.

However, Miss Gao didn't seem to want to talk about this marriage, and only praised the good writing of Shan Tao, so she diverted the topic and talked about it.

Shan Tao didn't know, and after thinking about it, he talked to her about the interesting things about the farm, and sure enough, the young lady who didn't leave the door was more interested in these days that she had not participated in.

Hearing Shan Tao talk about catching wild boars, Miss Gao's eyes widened when she heard it, she held her breath in her nervousness, and coughed several times when she came to her senses, "This is too thrilling, how old are you, how can your parents agree to you doing such a dangerous thing." ”

"There are so many brothers and uncles, they say that I am lucky, but I am just lucky to have a good luck." Shan Tao poured her a cup of tea, "Our village relies on the mountains to eat, and this kind of thing is not thrilling." ”

Miss Gao took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, revealing some envy, "You are only less than six years old, but your parents are relieved that you are going out, unlike me, you are about to get married, you haven't stepped out of the door a few times, and you have to follow a lot of people every time you go out, unless Zhao ...... It's boring. ”

She swallowed a name vaguely, and Shan Tao didn't ask, holding the tea to herself, drinking only water at home, and it was rare to drink tea.

"Although you are young, you are a sensible person, and this word alone is better than mine. My father always said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and your father and mother are open-minded, you should read more books, don't live up to this heart. ”

As she spoke, Miss Gao became interested, and called the maid to her house to fetch a few poetry books, the paper was completely different from the old books that Shan Tao bought at home, and she also drew some flower and grass patterns with paint, and there was a fragrance when she smelled it.

"It's getting late today, thank you for chatting with me for a long time, these poetry books are more useful to you than to stay with me."

It was almost dinner time, Qingmei came to invite Miss Gao to eat in Mrs. Gao's house, and Du Yingqiu also came to send Shan Tao out of the house.

Miss Gao specially sent the mother and daughter outside the embroidery building, and then went to the lady's house, and parted so that Shan Tao had time to talk to her more, and then invited her to have a snack.

"Mother, didn't you say that it's not good for women to marry early?" Shan Tao looked at Miss Gao, who was getting angry after separating from her, as if she saw the concubines who had been trapped in the deep palace for the rest of her life in her previous life, "Mrs. County Ling loves Miss Gao so much, can't she marry later?" ”

"If you talk about getting married, it is better for a woman to be considered suitable after two decades. But the world is intolerable. Du Yingqiu lowered her voice and sighed, Miss Gao and Lu are only fifteen, their bodies are not well developed, and they will inevitably suffer after marriage, although Mrs. County Ling loves her daughter, but she doesn't seem to have any thoughts about this marriage.

On the other end, the maid helped Miss Gao to watch the mother and daughter go away at the corner of the verandah, and whispered under the cover of sorting out the clothes for the young lady: "Miss, why don't you let her help you deliver a letter?" ”

"When we meet, it's good to be able to talk." Miss Gao retracted her gaze, not as sorry as a maid, and her face was indifferent.

I sat in the concierge for most of the day, and I didn't dare to drink more Jin's tea, for fear that it would be inconvenient to go to the toilet, until my stomach growled, and I finally looked forward to the mountain peach.

"It's hard work, sister-in-law." Du Yingqiu thanked the Jin family and sent the two out of the house, waving his hand until he couldn't see the figure before closing the door.

As soon as he got out of the street where the county government was located, Shan Tao, who was in a state of interest, hung his head and was suddenly blocked by someone, and he didn't look up, and walked a few steps closer to Jin's side, but the person followed suit.

"Zhao Gongzi?" Shan Tao looked up with an eyebrow twisted and saw an unexpected face.

The young master of the Zhao family is not as invincible as last time, he is wearing a linen dress, and he also wears a white cloth on his forehead, he looks like a mourning dress, and his face is slightly haggard, and he stretched out his hand to drag the mountain peach, but was pushed away by the Jin family.

"Eh, what are you doing in broad daylight!" Jin protected Shan Tao in his arms, took a few steps back, and looked vigilant, ready to shout at any time to rob the people's daughter.

was pushed away, but it was rare for the young master of the Zhao family not to lose his temper, his face was calm and he withdrew his hand, only looked at Shan Tao and said, "Is your mother doing embroidery work for the county order?" ”

"How, no, what?" Shan Tao didn't have a good impression of this young master with eyes above the top, and he didn't reply politely, but he just thought about it and vaguely guessed something.

The young master of the Zhao family took out a crumpled letter from his arms, and took out a bag of silver, "Help me deliver the letter, these silver are yours." ”

Although he didn't say who this letter was for, Shan Tao guessed it, put away the mockery and said seriously: "She is already preparing to get married, and she will get married in the spring, and it will not benefit her to receive it privately before marriage." What's more, you are still keeping filial piety, is it appropriate to send a letter to the person to be married at this time? ”

The Jin family on the side was confused, and he didn't know what dumb riddle the two were playing, but when he saw that the young master of the Zhao family had a stiff face, he held the letter and lowered it, and immediately pulled Shan Tao to distance himself from him.

Yamamo obediently quickened his pace with Kim and glanced back.

The young master of the Zhao family, who had just lost his father, seemed to have a lot of vicissitudes, and the young man's sharp spirit dissipated, and with the feelings of dying without a problem, he bent his back.

Hearing Jin ask her who the person was and who she wanted to send the letter to, Shan Tao replied: "It's a gentleman, send a letter to someone who can't marry." ”

In a short sentence, he was helpless, which made the Jin family sigh a few words, but no longer asked about the details of his identity.

When I got home, I had countless things to do, opening the cellar to get food, wine to be sealed in jars, meat and bones to be cleaned in advance, just waiting to be cooked.

Shan Tao insisted on making a move, and followed the Jin family into the room, and sat on a small bench to do some meticulous work, washing vegetables or something, and it was also very neat.

The two of them were busy working, and a person came in from outside the house, Shan Chunhua lowered her head and muttered for a long time before she said like a mosquito: "Sister-in-law, can I learn to cook with you?" ...... Say I'm not good at teaching. ”

The house is now shared with the second room and the main house, and the sound of Du scolding Shan Chunhua can be heard every day, and in just a few days, the young girl who enjoys Qingfu at home has become a stupid pig who can't even do her job.

Jin's knife mouth tofu heart, plus he used to be tortured by Du's family, the sister-in-law was just lazy, and it was not difficult to get along with, so she didn't refuse, "Then you follow Siya to wash the vegetables first, just learn slowly, it's not difficult to cook." ”

Shan Tao moved his ass to make way for Shan Chunhua to take out the bench, and went to move another one himself, although he didn't speak, he slowed down the action of washing vegetables for Shan Chunhua to see.

Shan Chunhua sat down slowly, did not speak, only picked up a vegetable leaf and learned the movements of Shan Tao.

After a while, some tears fell from the basin, and Shan Tao couldn't take his eyes off it, knowing that Shan Chunhua had a good face, but he didn't know it, but he only heard a suppressed whimper in his ears, and quickly swallowed it again.
