Chapter 097: Qiao'er's Hands Are Skillful and Skillful Girls The Autumn Wind Sends Autumn Yin and Autumn Rain
"If this daughter of the He family can ......"
The elder sister of the He family didn't listen to the words behind and knew what the man said next, so she only hugged the little sister in her arms a little tighter, and covered the latter's ears with her hands without a trace.
"This He family's sister's temperament is really strong, and it is a different flavor when I think about it."
In this era, it is not easy for a mother to take two girls to her family, and it is naturally easy to be remembered by people with bad intentions. So much so that the beauty of the He family's sister is even a little more than her mother's weaving skills.
Among the people who watched the excitement around him, of course, there were few animals who wanted to take advantage of people's danger, knowing that the He family's sister was going to run for her little sister's life, and just wanted to take this opportunity to marry a small sedan chair and go home as an aunt's wife - between fire and water, the He family's sister should repay her kindness.
Those who dare to say this are naturally not ordinary people, either the rich or the powerful, and others are really powerless even if they have the heart to mix, so they can only be glad that this group of pickled people still don't have so much ability, so they won't rob people by force.
The elder sister of the He family knew that this was the case, so she didn't look at the face, just stared at the road not far ahead, protecting her little sister, whether it was the kindness or malice of the outside world, it seemed that she couldn't get half a minute.
Everyone says that the eldest sister is like a mother, and now the younger sister is still young, and no matter how sad the He family is, she can't bear this responsibility. There used to be a mother on the road, but now the two sisters are left to walk on their own.
The road is very long, the people around and the discussion seem to be endless, the He family's sister is a little tired, and there are even two strands of hair wet in front of her, and the sweat falls down the green silk on the white clothes, but from beginning to end, I don't see the He family's sister shed half a tear.
"This girl shouldn't be heartless, her mother is gone, and she still treats her little sister like that."
"Don't talk nonsense, if you really don't have a heart, where will you protect your little sister like that? When I hear that people are so sad and mournful, they can't even cry out. ”
In the days that followed, the younger sister also asked her sister: "Why didn't my sister react to what those people said?" ”
"Sister...... But I didn't fight at that time, so did my sister bother? ”
At that time, the little sister was protected by her sister too well, although she had already experienced a lot of things, she could still be a little innocent. In the end, it is not as mature as the sister at that time, but no matter what the sister says, she can enter her heart.
"If someone else can exchange my mother's life for me, I will naturally care." Sister He's words were not exhausted, and it was enough for the little sister to understand the meaning.
After so much time, everything has not turned back the time to the time when the two sisters lost their mother, in fact, isn't the sister just grown up?
In order to support this home with only two people left, in order to give Xiaomei a support, he swallowed everything into his stomach like this, but he had to hold on coldly, just to prevent others from taking advantage of this opportunity to find himself and Xiaomei's unhappiness.
"Master is here, go with Master."
This voice is not very familiar and reliable to the sister of the He family. Earlier, it was my mother who taught me how to weave, and this master was just the support that my mother found for herself when she was dying.
The person who spoke was very determined, but the elder sister of the He family was unusually calm - the only thing she can really rely on now is herself, and now she and her master only have the name of master and apprentice, and they can't talk about emotions, the latter is just taking care of herself and her little sister in the face of her mother.
Even if this sentence sounded reliable enough and trustworthy enough, the sister of the He family still didn't dare to relax, and still maintained the last trace of tension in the chaotic trance, but she was the little sister, and threw herself directly into the man's arms, crying and wetting her clothes.
"Your mother was our clever child at the time, she taught you, so I don't have the ability to compare with her." Master's family is not big, just enough to support two girls, one person and one house, but it is a little better than the life of the two sisters when their mother was there.
"When I was judging Qiao'er, I had a bad heart, and in the end, I lost to her for the sake of weaving more inches, but she interceded with the master, and the master accepted my ......"
But it turned out that the master and the He family's sister mother were apprentices taught by the same master, no wonder as the mother's dying orphan, she dared to hand over the two sisters to someone who had hardly met a few times.
"When my little sister and I are able to support ourselves, we will find a place to live by ourselves, and there will be a lot of disturbances during this time, and we will only listen to what we need to do...... Master arranged. ”
The two people present all understood that the He family's sister still did not accept this master in her heart. The former only felt that his identity and that his little sister were embarrassed, while the latter hoped that through his own actions, the He family sisters could let down their guard and live more easily on their own.
In this turbulent era, the land of Kyushu was devastated, and the life of ordinary people was not easy.
"Since you call me Master, my home is your home, if one day you can find another job, I will naturally not stop you."
The elder sister of the He family didn't have this mind, but it was the experience in just over ten years that made her dare not rely on others easily, and the words had been spoken, and she felt hurtful, but she didn't have time to make up for it, so she could only wait for the years to come and slowly contact the master.
"Rest quickly, do you want to go and see your little sister? By now I should be tired of crying and have fallen asleep. Walking to the door, the master turned around and looked at his apprentice, "You also have a good rest, you still have to live." ”
Cover the door, the master stopped at the door of the He family's sister for a long time, I don't know what I thought in my heart? Maybe it was the time when I was apprenticed with the latter's mother? Or maybe it's planning for the future years of the three......
Sitting on the bed, Sister He stared at the window in a daze, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and the candle she had just lit on the side also wept when she saw this.
But soon only the candle tears were left, just waiting for the tears on the face to dry completely, and the people on the bed did not let the tears fall.
Because the aunt of the He family knows that if she keeps crying, she will naturally not be able to stop. There is a little sister in the next room, if even she collapses, this home really doesn't exist.
When one tries to cover up one's pain through other things, then one inevitably falls into a cycle of unresolved samsara. The elder sister of the He family is like this, thinking of Master Shicai's words, she didn't know how she should spend this period of residence for a while.
The old thing that the master said also became a pimple in the heart of the He family's sister, and even that old thing can be called a good story.
It was only many years later that the master handed over his machine workshop to the He family's sister, who learned everything from the mouths of others.
In fact, the master deliberately lost to his mother. Master's weaving skills are far more exquisite than those of his mother, and his heart is not good, but he did it deliberately.
Just because the conditions in the mother's family were not good at that time, and the family wanted to marry the mother to another family as a concubine in order to prepare money for the son in the family.
Not to mention that the mother at that time already had a sweetheart, which girl Ren also understands, even because of her appearance, she was accepted as a concubine by a big family, and she was rarely oppressed, not to mention being sold as an item like this?
If the mother of the He sister's sister was not Qiao'er and could not be accepted as an apprentice by the owner of the big machine shop, her experience can be imagined......
If he can be forced to die, in fact, the family is not unable to give his brother money for studying. But she is a girl with a soft personality, and on the day of the selection, she was also affected, and it was much worse than usual.
This is why the master has been unable to release water again and again, and in the end he has to pretend that he does not have the patience, and weave the last two inches loosely and messily, which can be regarded as giving up hope.
Fortunately, all the results are good, and the release of water allows people to inherit the machine workshop, and those who get Qiao'er can be regarded as having a smooth life. As for the woman who sold her only for her son to study, in the end, because of the cancellation of the imperial examination, he became a pathetic figure like Kong Yiji in the later articles.
There is no need to mention it later, after all, the sister of the He family at that time had to bear not everything for the two of them now.
"Are you awake? I have cooked some porridge with your sisters, and if you get up, you will drink some of it. ”
Maybe it was because I was too tired yesterday, whether it was in my heart or on my body, when the He family's sister woke up again, it was already dawn, if it wasn't for the master to call the porridge, although I wouldn't sleep until the sun, I was afraid that I wouldn't wake up for a long time.
When the He family's sister came back to her senses, she found that she had fallen asleep unconsciously while thinking yesterday, and now she was still leaning on the side of the bed, and her body was a little sore, but now the former couldn't take care of it so much, and was busy dressing neatly.
When I opened the door, I saw the master standing at the door, and it was impossible for the He family's sister not to be moved in her heart. If it was simply because of his mother's face, there was no need for Master to take care of himself and his little sister in such a comprehensive manner.
Sister He knew in her heart that she didn't really recognize the master, but the master did see herself as her own child.
But the elder sister of the He family still didn't dare to gamble, if she was alone, of course the former would not continue to respond tepidly to the love from the master, but with the little sister here, the elder sister of the He family had to think twice.
The days went by like this, and the master did not become equally contemptuous because of the attitude of the disciples. The former can understand the concerns of the He family's sister, and only thinks that time can verify everything.
I did it, even if the latter still kept a distance from him, and he had no children, it would be worth it to let the two girls have something to rely on in the days to come.
"Didn't your mother teach?"
The craftsmanship of Zhiluo is still much more difficult than that of Hengluo, and the demand for Hengluo has been increasing since the Song Dynasty, and ordinary mechanics mostly use Hengluo to support their families.
The mother of the He family's sister is naturally no exception, even if she returns to her hometown and supports the two girls by herself, it is really a difficult thing.
Because of this, in addition to going to school over the years, the sister of the He family has been able to come into contact with most of the Hengluo, the weaving in the master's mouth, the former is not ignorant, but if you really start to do it, it is really not easy.
Seeing that his apprentice didn't know how to respond for a while, the master didn't say anything else, and excused the former by himself: "It's okay." ”
"It doesn't hurt that you have less contact, and it's also because you have a place to get me, otherwise I'm really useless as a master."
In fact, the elder sister of the He family is not young, but in order to take care of the former's emotions, the master is a little more humble in her words.
Although he knows that his apprentice is very strong, the master also understands the burden on his body, and he always has to consider it before saying anything, for fear that any sentence will be a knife to the heart, and because of the disciple's forbearance, he does not know it.
"Master, you don't have to."
"No, no, Master, don't have to worry about ......"
"Okay, don't talk about that." The master interrupted the apprentice's words, and instead taught almost hand-in-hand, "I saw your words a few days ago, but I didn't have the ability. ”
"If I can make Master's machine shop bigger, I should have enough money for you to give it a try, even if you only go to three or two universities, you will always have a chance."
Having seen what happened to the aunt and mother of the He family back then, and also knowing the changes in today's society, the master hopes that the two girls can learn more knowledge and understand those advanced things, which will be much better than just being a weaver in the future.
"Now we women can study more, not like then......"
That being said, even a family like a master with a machine shop can't afford to support a college student, let alone other people? Even the junior primary school that was forced to go to school by the Beiyang government cost several silver dollars - for families who already had no money, it was really worse.
Master's words, Sister He didn't know how she should respond. He just stood silently on the side, listening to the master talk to himself.
"I always say these useless words, come, here you pay attention to ......"
The autumn breeze in Hangzhou is really not cold, if it is compared to the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be said that it is very warm, but in the Mid-Autumn Festival, no people are reunited, and there is an autumn wind to send rain, adding to the loneliness.
There is no family reunion like An Ji, but there is a bit more contradiction and confusion in his eyes. The family is small, the country is big, and the He family's sister lives in this era, the country will not be a country, and the fragments in the family are really nothing.
"Sister, did you think my mother would come back to see us?"
"And the father...... Are they reunited over there? ”
The concept of life and death is more like a parting thousands of miles away in the heart of the little sister at this time. I don't have any concept of my father in my memory, and my mother left suddenly, and I only feel normal when I mention sad things during this festival.
"Yes."
In fact, the He family's sister didn't know if it would ...... At that time, my father would lift himself high, tie a swing to himself in the summer, and use his savings to buy a paper kite in the spring.
Later, for the sake of his family, for his country, and for the sake of the word called 'peace', he never returned, leaving himself and his mother empty.
It stands to reason that my father is also a 'good man' in the mouth of the old people, right? But why don't the 'good people' live long? The 'good man' didn't even dream, but took away his mother and all the good.
"Sister?"
"Huh?"
"I called my sister several times, why shouldn't my sister? What was Sister thinking? ”
What are you thinking? I wonder when I won't part because of the war, when I can study if I want to, whether I can go to college without a letter of introduction, and when I don't need a silver dollar that ordinary people can't afford......
