Chapter 45: The Wen Family

Ye Xuanxuan looked at the few wooden basins in front of them, and there was not much to wash.

A large pot of red dates, a large pot of lotus seeds, as well as glutinous rice, red beans, etc., are all packed in large pots.

Thinking about finishing it quickly, the two of them didn't procrastinate, squatting and washing slowly.

Although she was working, Ye Xuanxuan also heard a lot of information, all of which she knew from the whispered chats of the women who helped.

This Wen family, today's daughter is going to marry the He family, the first merchant in the town.

The He family is known to everyone in the town, and the He family has an only son named He Ziyi.

It is said that he is the only son of the first merchant, but this He Ziyi is a person who does not like to do business, and wants to study medicine and become a doctor.

The old lady of the He family was reluctant to think like this for her son, but she didn't listen to her son's persuasion, so she had to let him go.

In the gossip of those village women, Ye Xuanxuan knew that the Xinglintang was still the He family's own shop. Thinking of Xinglintang, Ye Xuanxuan nodded in her heart, since this He Ziyi has such a subordinate, he is naturally a good person. Otherwise, I can't teach such a little two and the shopkeeper is not.

I also listened to those women chatting about whose daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, whose chickens were well fed, and so on.

Ye Xuanxuan listened to some parents and didn't listen, and asked Ye Erya to speed up the movements in her hands.

When I washed the last kidney beans, there was a lot of noise outside.

Is it time to pick up the bride? It was still very early, and it was just past the hour.

Although I was curious about why it was suddenly so lively, it was not easy to inquire, and I didn't care about my own business.

Just thinking like this, Aunt Lin suddenly walked into the yard quickly, as if she was in a hurry.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he waved his hands and shouted, "All the women who come to help or the girls who come to help come here come here." ”

Although I didn't know what happened to Aunt Lin suddenly, all the women who helped stopped what they were doing and walked over. After all, Aunt Lin has the final say on working here, and the salary is also in the hands of Aunt Lin, so no one dares to snub her.

Seeing that all the helpers had come over, Aunt Lin didn't hide it anymore: "That's the case, today is a good day for Miss Wen." It's just that just now the person on the eldest girl's side asked me to come over to find a clever person to help, although I don't know what it is, but what kind of family the Wen family is, and there is a lot of money to get for the Wen family to do a good job. Is there any of you who are ingenious? As he spoke, he looked at the faces of the crowd.

When those women heard this, they naturally hoped that they could go, but they didn't dare to rush over and agree to help without saying what it was, after all, if it was not easy to do it, it would be troublesome if the matter was messed up.

Seeing that they were all hesitating, Aunt Lin was even more anxious, and said with a frown: "Don't worry, it's a good thing after all." ”

Although I said such things, I didn't know the bottom in my heart.

After speaking, seeing that no woman was willing to stand up, Aunt Lin weighed the pros and cons.

"Ahem, in this case, I'll just say it briefly. Whoever is good at craftsmanship will do handicraft. After a pause, he added: "It's best to be able to do it without needles." The woman who had listened to her words and wanted to stand up stopped moving when she heard the next sentence.

Who can do it without a needle!

Ye Xuanxuan thought about it and understood, it seems that there should be something wrong with the bride's wedding dress or shoes.

Because there is a custom in this Dakang Dynasty that the bride before marriage cannot use scissors, needles and other dangerous and sharp objects, let alone put needles or do other things on her body. After putting on the wedding dress, he waited for the man to come to the sedan chair to pick up people. There is no other reason, just that it is unlucky.

After thinking about it roughly, Ye Xuanxuan pretended to hesitate and stood up on crutches.

Ye Erya saw how her eldest sister came out, and hurriedly wanted to grab her.

Aunt Lin, who was standing opposite, moved faster, and when she saw someone standing up, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ye Xuanxuan's hand.

"You little girl really know?" Looking at the little girl next to her who is only about eight years old, and then looking at what she is wearing, I can't tell that she is a person who knows these delicate work!

And I knew she had bad legs before.

Seeing Aunt Lin's skeptical gaze, Ye Xuanxuan said with a straight face: "Although I don't know what to let me do, if it is manual, I naturally have my own unique method." After speaking, he looked at her confidently.

When Aunt Lin heard this little girl's words, she looked at her determined appearance again, her face was stunned, and she thought about a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Now the situation is special, and I have to try it. If this girl can help, she can please herself.

After a few turns, Aunt Lin decided to leave her alone. So he pulled Ye Xuanxuan and asked her to follow her quickly.

Ye Xuanxuan didn't follow her, and pointed to her sister Ye Erya.

Aunt Lin beckoned Ye Erya to follow.

Although Aunt Lin was in a hurry, she didn't walk so fast because she was afraid that Ye Xuanxuan's legs and feet were not good.

When the three of them came to Neizhuangzi, Ye Xuanxuan didn't bother to take a closer look, but only glanced at it cursoryly.

This inner Zhuangzi is more than twice as big as the previous outer Zhuangzi, although there is a little shock in my heart, but I don't see much when I think about it.

The people in the inner Zhuangzi are obviously much larger than the outer Zhuangzi, and the tables and chairs are better. You can see from the arrangement of the table, which is also covered with tablecloths and snacks, and there are carpets on the walking path.

However, this place is much quieter than the previous Zhuangzi, and those slaves also keep their heads down and do things quietly, but their faces are all happy.

Even when she saw a lame person like Ye Xuanxuan walking by, she just glanced at it and continued to do her own thing, unlike those people in Wai Zhuangzi staring, but fortunately, she was psychologically strong.

When they entered the inner courtyard, they saw that it was all women.

Whether it is a slave or a maidservant or a doorkeeper, it seems that this family is quite clearly divided, only in ancient times, large families or official families would be divided like this.

After entering the inner courtyard, the interior decoration is more magnificent, with pavilions and pavilions, birds and flowers. There are various flowers and trees or bonsai along the way, and a path in the middle divides in all directions. Each path leads to a small courtyard, each of which is an arched gate. These seem to be the residences of the ladies of the inner chambers, and each courtyard has a name. After a cursory glance, you can see that some of them have rockeries and other scenery. This Wen family is really rich, and this house alone has a lot of money.

Ye Xuanxuan cheered herself up in her heart, and one day she would have to earn such a family property with her own hands.

Because she was confident in herself, she was full of hope in her heart, and a faint smile was on her face.
