I haven't been to school for a few days, and my husband is not coming, but it's very idle. When lunch time was approaching, I thought I would go to my mother to have dinner with me, so I went to Liuchun House.

The door was open, and I was about to push it in, only to hear my parents talking to me. I'm not in a hurry to break in, and I'm listening outside the door.

"Master, Zhou'er is sixteen, and she should find a home for her, I don't think Mr. needs to teach anymore, Zhou'er should be married",

The mother said, and the father responded, "Madam, we have such a daughter under our knees, and it is always good to read more." ”

The mother's tone seemed to be worried: "It is precisely because of Zhou'er, a daughter, that I am more worried that it is a bad thing for her to read too much, that Ning Wanrou is full of talent, outstanding poetry since childhood, and people are also ice and snow smart, if the sisters and sisters in my family talk about talent, which one is better than her, but in the end, which one is as hard as her?" If it weren't for her high self-esteem and refusal to put down her body to accept her husband who had no skills, how could she fall into a situation where the husband and wife were separated from morality. ”

My father was silent, and I heard footsteps approaching, so I quickly hid behind a tree with Atsui. When my father was gone, Ah Cui and I returned to the room, and on the way I told her not to talk about my eavesdropping to anyone else, and she nodded her head in agreement.

In the afternoon, when I was bored embroidering, I asked Ah Cui, "When I get married in the future, will you go with me?" ”

Atsui said: "Wherever Miss goes, I will go!" ”

I said, "So what kind of man do you like?" ”

Atsui shook her head, her face was crimson, and said that she couldn't understand what I said, but I knew in my heart that although Acui was one year younger than me, she had some thoughts in her heart, and she didn't leave any of the books she had read since she was a child.

When I first met her, her scrawny body was leaning against the big tree in front of the house, and in her arms was the kite I had broken the string.

At that time, I was just a little girl with two croissants, holding Atsui to the death, but I didn't let go.

According to the memories of the people in the house, Mrs. saw the young lady dragging a little flower child, and she was angry and had no choice, but in the end, the old man asked a few old women to take us back to the room, and Atsui stayed like this.

My father is a person who can come up with a name, and said, "Since this little girl was found by the tree, let's take a name related to the tree, but it's not nice to be called Ah Shu, she is so thin, let's call Ah Cui." ”

Atsui has always grown up with me, I know that she likes that kind of gentleman boy, that is, the gentle and jade-like boy in the novel, but unfortunately I am incompetent, and I don't have half a cousin or distant relative who is full of poetry and books, otherwise my father and mother will promise me to marry, and Atsui can also have a favorite home.

But except for Atsui, no one can affect my marriage, Atsui is the girl who will accompany me for the rest of my life, but no one else is not.

Atsui didn't answer me, but her thoughts drifted somewhere, and I didn't see her embroidering a stitch for a long time.

"Atsui! Atsui! I called her out a few times, and she came to her senses.

"Later, you will ask your father to come over, and you will say that I will play chess with him. Daddy came over after dinner, and I sent Atsui away and knelt down in the room to greet her.

As soon as my father entered the door, he wanted to help me up, and I said, "I will get up when my daughter is done."

I first kowtowed three times, and then said: "My daughter has known since she was a child that she is different from other daughters, and her parents love me more than her brothers. ”

After hearing the old tears, my father immediately helped me up and said: "My father is ashamed of you, the status of the merchant is at the end, my father is only afraid that it will be difficult to protect you for a lifetime, if you can win a reputation when you are young, why do you need your mother to worry about being unworthy, afraid that you are too talented, but there is no dazzling lintel support, and your life will be difficult to achieve in the future." ”

I heard my father speak like this, and my heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, helped my father sit down at the table, and said: "My father has often talked about the model of business since he was a child, and Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li also abandoned politics and business, and accumulated a huge amount of wealth, even the disciple Duanmu Zigong, who was called "Hu Lian's vessel" by Confucius Sage, has also been in business for many years, so it can be seen that there is nothing bad about doing business.

Besides, Zhou'er never despised herself because she was the daughter of a merchant. When my father heard this, he immediately felt much relieved.

"Dad, my daughter still wants to continue to study with my husband."

Dad patted my hand and said, "Dad understands, I'll explain to your mother, and she's also for your good." ”

I think my father thought that my mother told me about persuading me not to go to school anymore, but I didn't know that I overheard it outside the door.

I nodded obediently, stopped talking about it, and pulled my father to play chess,

。 After a seat of chess, I still lost, but it was only a difference of a son, and I think my chess skills have improved somewhat.

Sure enough, my father really loved me, and I was studying at home again. The days of reading are inevitably a little busy, and the morning and dusk are still quite fulfilling.

A few days have come to the Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, and then looking for such a lively day is only afraid of getting the New Year, I must have a good time this time.

After school early today, Acui walked home with a bookcase and me.

The two golden cinnamon trees in front of the Yishu Pavilion where I live have recently become more prosperous, and I can smell the fragrance from afar.

As we get closer, the fragrance becomes stronger.

I said to Atsui: "Half of this year's autumn will be shared with this golden cinnamon."

Look at the broken flowers of this tree falling, scattered on the bluestone road, if a gust of wind blows, the osmanthus is even more dancing in the wind.

I think that the beauty should come to this tree without powder, and have this flower to add color to her and make a yellow post.

Acui was the most greedy, and only said: "The osmanthus cake and osmanthus stuffed by Yun Niangzi are the most delicious, and these days are almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, she will pinch some little rabbit balls!"

I turned around and pointed at her with my finger, and said angrily: "Why are you so greedy, I will let her talk about you when I see Aunt Yun."

Before I knew it, I went into the room and took off my cloak to take a rest, when a guest arrived.

As soon as I saw people, I felt a little depressed in my heart, and the second aunt came to the house again.

She saluted me and said, "Old slave, please girl, my wife has ordered me to give you a gift."

Immediately handed over a wooden box with both hands, I didn't reach out to pick it up, Acui and other girls looked at me, naturally they didn't dare to step forward, I couldn't do anything, I could only reply coldly: "The little girl is really flattered, I don't dare to accept the noble gift, please take it back and thank me."

Mother Liu saw that I didn't accept it, her face was pale, but her posture did not change, she only put the gift on the table next to me and said to me, saying: "The girl may have misunderstood my wife, I am just a slave, and I hope to understand me and go back to my life."

After saying that, he led the girls out. Looking at her pampered appearance, I couldn't control my emotions, and my hand hit the table heavily, knocking red.

If she really gave a gift, I wouldn't have slapped my elders in the face, but over the years, as soon as I received her gifts, I knew that nothing good would happen.

Her house was broken, and when she sent some half-worn fabrics that no one wanted, her mother had to hire someone to help her repair the house; My second uncle's creditors came after her, but she only sent two pots of flowers, insisting that my mother be the guarantor.

。。。 Now I really don't know if there is any catastrophe that my family needs to bear for her, so she gave me something like this.

I don't want it, but I really don't dare to ask for it!

Seeing that I was angry, Atsui hurriedly came up and rubbed my hands for me, brought me a cup of warm tea, and comforted me: "Miss, we can't be angry with such a person."

I calmed down and asked Atsui to open the box to see what strange treasures were inside. It's even more disappointing when I open it, but it's just a few pieces of pastry, and looking at the wrapped paper, it seems that it is not as good as the fruit of the house I often go to.

I couldn't help but say to myself, "What a stingy person!" ”

"Ah Cui, look at this box is better than this pastry, you said that my second aunt didn't fall for the black-hearted merchant, since she bought it, I should also return the pearls, right?"

Atsui burst out laughing, I hooked my hand, motioned Atsui to lean over my ear, and whispered in her ear that I had a fun idea.

The second aunt must be talking in the mother's room at this moment, and presumably she must stay for lunch.

Atsui walked out of the door quickly and found Ji Ling'er to come in.

Na Ji Ling'er is a sprinkler girl in my room, and she doesn't go out much on weekdays, and when she comes in, I am already lying down on the edge of the bed, pretending to be embarrassed.

Seeing me like this, Ji Ling'er looked faintly anxious, and asked, "Miss, is there something wrong?" ”

I looked up at her and said to her gently, "I've just eaten a little too much recently, and my stomach is accumulating, and I'm a little in pain at the moment." ”

I put my hands on my stomach and rubbed them myself. After listening to me, this auspicious bell still stood in place, and did not know how to invite someone to come, and I was a little dissatisfied in my heart.

After a while, I yelled at her, "Why don't you hurry up and get me a doctor?" ”

Xu was too scary, and the voice was too loud, so scared that she hurriedly began to retreat before she could finish the "good", and I couldn't help but shout to her: "Wait a minute, you girl is also a little frizzy, and I have to leave before I can explain you clearly." ”

I couldn't help but press my stomach tightly with my hand, and my other hand subconsciously clenched the handkerchief, hoping that I would hold back a little sweat on my forehead.

"This doctor doesn't have to come, now that my father is outside, and my mother is also accompanying my aunt, you just let the doctor grab some medicine to quickly clear the stomach and give it to me."

I deliberately lowered the volume this time. As soon as Ji Ling'er said hello, she trotted all the way out of the house.

I watched her disappear outside the yard, and then I quickly got up and closed the door.

I took a quadrangular stool from the table and went into the room, and the food in my room was on the top cupboard, which was a little high, and I had to get a stool to put it on my feet.

I just stepped on the stool with one foot, and the shoes became more and more unstable on the stool, and now I stepped on the skirt again, and I almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Atsui came back at this time and helped me in time.

Atsui looked at me and almost fell, and said strangely: "Miss, why are you so careless, what if you fall somewhere?" ”

I pouted and said, "It's all because of these clothes and shoes, it's not convenient to do anything!" ”

I helped her up and said, "Help me get those things!" ”

Atsui quickly opened the door of the top cabinet, and saw a beautifully painted food box inside, which was full of food that I had saved up for a long time.

It is about one foot eight inches high, one foot two inches long, and one foot deep, and from a distance it looks like a small cupboard.

The bottom layer, about four inches and two minutes, blocked with a board, made a small square warehouse, which contains a few beautiful carved wine glasses, I love wine since I was a child, every time Acui goes out to buy, I always don't forget to hide from my mother to secretly bring me a pot of Yulin Spring, a pot of wine, with a few dishes, think about it is very beautiful.

There are six grids on this box, each grid is one inch and nine minutes high, each grid is filled with two plates, the upper four grids are filled with preserved fruit candied fruit, there are Taiping preserved fruits, green plums, hawthorn slices, fruit dan peel a little, the next two grids are what I want to take out.

I opened the wrapped white cloth layer by layer, and Atsui stared at it, and when I finally saw it, Atsui asked, "What is this thing?" It looks like a bald pen, why is it still so red? ”

The more I listened to her say this, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that what she said made sense, and it really looked like a bald pen, and I couldn't tell what it looked like when I got it.

I suddenly couldn't help laughing, looking at Acui's thoughtful look, and said: "This is sent by the second brother, I heard that it is called spicy tomato, he bought it locally when he was taking care of his family's business in Guizhou, and he wrote that the locals like to put this in cooking, and the signature dishes in the restaurant are seasoned with it." ”
