Chapter 7 Clever Speech
It was hot and humid for several days, and finally encountered a cool rainy day, Tang Bufan ran in the yard.
The fat girl chased out with an umbrella several times, but she couldn't persuade her to come back, seeing that Tang Bufan was playing with mud, she was going to go out and bring people back.
"Let him play."
"But my clothes are dirty." The fat girl is in a hurry.
"Just wash, he probably hasn't played around like this in a long time."
Since Chen Peiyao was brought home, Ming's gloom has been bleak, and the seven-year-old child has learned to observe words and feelings, so naturally he will not make a fuss, and he was also frightened in the ancestral hall last time, so today he can be regarded as letting go.
After having a good time, the sister and brother went to the dining room together for dinner, Chen Peiyao and Ming were already there, and as soon as the two of them sat down, they started the meal.
"Don't you wait for my brother?" Tang Jiao asked.
Ming's hand with chopsticks paused, and Tang Jiude said: "He is not feeling well, so he can't come." ”
Not feeling well?
Is it because of the rain today?
Tang Jiao didn't pay much attention to it, and went back to the room after dinner.
But Ming's watched Tang Jiao get close to the outer room, and her heart was like a pimple, and she was very uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but find Zhou and confide in these grievances.
*
On the second day of this rain, Tang Jiao was making silk in the house, and the fat girl walked in, laughing heartlessly.
"Miss, just now the slave maid went out, and happened to meet Young Master Min being carried back, Young Master Min said that he was beaten with a sack, and he didn't see any external injuries, but he couldn't get out of bed, and the second lady was crying and wiping her tears in the lady's yard at this time."
I didn't see the external injury, but she just said it, but I didn't expect that little scoundrel to really have such a ability.
"Then you go and listen to what the second lady and my mother said."
"Hehe, don't worry, Miss, I'll let Aunt Chun in Madame's yard help listen."
"Ghost Witty."
The fat girl moved a stool and sat next to her, watching Tang Jiao lead the shuttle.
"Miss, are you making that birthday picture? You're amazing. ”
The fat girl watched without blinking, and she didn't bother.
It was almost noon when Aunt Chun came.
"When the second lady came over, I knew that she didn't have a good heart, and sure enough, after saying a few words, I mentioned the matter of the little young master going to a private school, saying that our little master is still young, and he is afraid of being bullied when he goes to a private school, so he wants to take her nephew over to be our little master's scholar, and he can also protect our young master."
The fat girl scolded her mother when she heard it.
"Phew, what I think is beautiful, just take advantage of my own family, I still want to use the Tang family's things to help my mother's family, my face is thicker than the city wall, I really think the Tang family is a good church!"
Tang Jiao didn't raise her head without raising her head, "Mother agreed?" ”
"Yes, where does the lady have the eyes of the second lady, she immediately responded, and estimated that the second lady would go back to her parents' house to pick up people at this time." Aunt Chun said.
Tang Jiao put down the shuttle, and her expression was calm from beginning to end.
"Okay, I know, please let Aunt Chun run."
"Welcome, Miss, this is what we should do."
Waiting for Aunt Chun to leave, Tang Jiao's eyes fell on the fat girl's face, "Don't say those words in front of others in the future." ”
"Huh?" The fat girl was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was the one who just said the second lady, "Miss, Aunt Chun doesn't matter, she is from our house." ”
"Can one house guarantee one heart?"
In the previous life, the one who could really protect the Lord was the fat girl, and she didn't believe in the rest of the people.
"The slave knows, but Miss, what should the second lady do, do you really let her nephew stay in our house, if the second master's family is lazy, what's the matter with her mother's family?"
"Naturally not."
In the previous life, the Zhou family also took her maiden nephew to the Tang Mansion, and also let the child follow Tang Jiude to do business, and made a lot of efforts to control the Tang family in the second room in the future, but that was a few years later, and now the Zhou family has taken her maiden nephew over in advance.
"Miss, what's the solution?"
Tang Jiao chuckled, "Not yet." ”
"Huh?" The fat girl was disappointed and pouted unhappily.
"You're worried first, come here, I'll teach you silk."
The fat girl was instantly embarrassed, "I'm stupid, I can't learn this." ”
In fact, I really want to learn, otherwise I wouldn't have sat next to me all morning.
Tang Jiao didn't know what she was thinking, "You study hard, learn as much as you want." ”
The fat girl sat next to her with a red face, her hands on her knees very seriously.
The silk process is complex, and each step is quite important, and it takes an hour just to make a warp surface.
The fat girl had just come into contact with silk, and she used a small loom half a leg high, which was less than half a foot long, and asked Tang Jiao to draw two frolicking butterflies for her on the warp surface.
Set a white background, and the two butterflies need to use four yellows to achieve a three-dimensional effect.
Tang Jiao helped her pick out the silk thread, and then taught her how to use the plectrum and shuttle, let her do it first, and then she would tell her about the color when she did the butterfly part.
Silk just needs to be careful, and after watching the fat girl slowly get started, Tang Jiao will do her own.
The room was so silent for a while that only the rustle of the picks brushing the weft was very peaceful.
The time before the loom always flies quickly, and Tang Jiao only made a palm wide in the afternoon.
After it got dark, the light in the room was dim, and it hurt her eyes very much, so Tang Jiao rested for a while and went to the dining room for dinner.
When she came over today, Chen Peiyao was already sitting in the dining room, talking to Tang Jiude.
greeted each other one by one, and then Tang Jiao sat next to Tang Bufan, only one position away from Chen Peiyao.
After that, the meal will be served.
While eating, Tang Jiao suddenly mentioned Tang Bufan's private school.
Tang Jiude looked unconcerned, "How young is he, what kind of private school does he go to?" Waste of silver. ”
Ming, who just wanted to echo Tang Jiao's words, heard his words, his face sank, but he also pursed his lips and didn't speak.
"It's not small, I think those children who go to private schools are smaller than extraordinary."
Tang Jiude wrung his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to refute, but he saw Tang Jiao looking at Chen Peiyao and asked, "How old was my brother enlightened?" ”
Chen Peiyao glanced at her and said, "Three years old." ”
"Look at Daddy, my brother's intelligence must have something to do with his early enlightenment, my younger brother is now seven years old, and it's not too late to send him to a private school, doesn't Dad want to see another pillar of our family in the future?"
These words reached Tang Jiude's heart, as long as it was beneficial to the Tang family, he would never refuse.
"Okay, then I'll keep an eye on the private school."
Tang Jiao touched Tang Bufan's arm and said, "Bufan, thank you dad soon, you see how much dad hurts you." ”
Tang Bufan was still stunned, and subconsciously did what Tang Jiao said, but it satisfied Tang Jiude's vanity.
"You have to study hard, don't live up to your father's expectations of you."
"Yes."
Tang Jiao lowered her eyes and covered the sarcasm in her eyes.
At this moment, Ming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Since you want to study, you lack a companion to read, and today my brother and sister talked to me about this, and I have already agreed to her nephew." ”
Tang Jiao looked at Tang Jiude, and sure enough, she saw that his face was ugly, "You answered?" I said, why are you so brainless? Doesn't it need to be handed in for companion reading? A few taels of silver a year are thrown out, and it is easy for you to get our family's money! ”
After a reprimand, Ming's aggrieved eyes reddened, "I, I have already agreed, besides, it is the young master of the Tang family, if you go to the private school and don't even have a companion to read, wouldn't it be a joke?" ”
Tang Jiude felt sorry for money, but once things rose to the level of face, he felt that it was right.
Tang Jiao hurriedly put down the chopsticks and said: "Dad, my daughter thinks, my brother must have been reading without a companion at the beginning, not so good, according to my daughter, don't bring a companion to read, let him exercise himself, what do you think, brother?" ”
Her big pure eyes looked at Chen Peiyao with a smile.
Chen Peiyao didn't show it on his face, and secretly scolded the little fox in his heart.
"I think that's what my sister said."
