Chapter 23: The Teaching Plan
Mama Li's explanation, how Taro didn't understand, but she felt that even if Miss knew, she wouldn't care with her own Miss's heart and intelligence, and she couldn't blame them for being too foreign, but Taro felt that what Mama said was right, even if there was less money, it was Miss's, and they were useless to take it to Brother Qingfeng, this is their duty!
Seeing Mama looking at herself with a gratifying face, the taro was also happy in her heart, thinking about her previous plans, and said with a smile: "I usually think that I can make more yarns, embroider some handkerchiefs, purses or something, and go out and sell it for money to give to Brother Qingfeng, I don't want the materials in our hands to be good, and we can't make much value, Miss is afraid that I will hurt my eyes and I am not allowed to get it for a long time, so I haven't been able to get a few dollars, and I have been worried about Brother Qingfeng's days when he is out alone, but now it's okay, he can make money himself, and we can rest assured." ”
Such a daughter-in-law who is dedicated to her son, Mama Li feels that she has really earned it, and she feels more and more that her lady's vision is good, and she has seen the character of the girl with taro in the morning, and she unconsciously threw away some of the troubles in front of her, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know that you are a good boy, now that you know that your brother Qingfeng has money in his hands to support himself, don't think about it in the future, hurry up and see what Qingfeng has bought for you, I didn't look at it, he is very precious, wrapped in a piece of green satin." ”
The taro was urged by her mother again and again, and it was not good to disobey again, and she was anxious to see what Brother Qingfeng brought her, so she untied the burden on the couch, and there were not many things in the baggage.
Mama Li also wondered what her son bought for the taro, and she was so attentive to the bag, and when she saw the taro take out something, she also came over to look at it, and saw that the girl only held it and didn't open it for a long time, so she hurriedly urged: "Take a look!" What are you doing in a daze, I'm afraid I'll be unhappy when I see it! After speaking, he angrily pushed the hand that pushed the taro.
The taro didn't mean not to open it, but she had already touched the things inside, and naturally she guessed a rough idea, knowing that it was a bracelet in eighty percent, and she didn't feel surprised, how did Brother Qingfeng remember to buy her a bracelet, no matter what kind of bracelet it was, but it also cost a lot of money, just because she thought about it, she was stunned, and she didn't want to be thought that she was worried that she was eating, so she said funny: "When did I think so, Mama will make me the most happy." ”
Saying that, I didn't look at Mama's face, Taro opened the green satin carefully with joy, I didn't want to be really guessed by myself, it was a silver bracelet, after seeing this silver bracelet, Taro was relieved, and felt that it was not much of a cost, she was really afraid that Brother Qingfeng would spend too much, not only to make her worry that Brother Qingfeng would not have anything to eat, but also to worry about whether Mama was really angry, after all, Brother Qingfeng had not bought anything valuable for Mama.
The expression on the taro's face did not escape Mama's eyes at all, seeing her like this, Mama Li sighed slightly, this child is really a solid person, where is she really jealous, such an idea is not in her eyes, but she looked at the silver hairpin wrapped in green satin, but nodded, her son does not seem stupid, knowing that they are not in a good situation, she didn't dare to blindly buy expensive bracelets for taro as if she was stupid.
The reason why Mama Li is sure that her son can afford more expensive bracelets is because she knows that her son has some money in his hand, although she doesn't know what her son is doing outside, but she knows that she is not helping his father or helping Grandpa Guo, in short, her son must be doing great things, and it is impossible to be a junior apprentice or a young man.
But this looks not too expensive silver bracelet, but it is not as simple as it seems, Li Mama feels that with her own eyesight, you can still determine one or two, it can be seen from the workmanship, this technique is from the craft, although it is not a shrimp bracelet pulled out, but also with twelve points of thought, not only good color, but also drawn, it is estimated that if it is not for the son who is afraid of taro wearing to invite trouble, it may be directly made into a shrimp bracelet.
Mama Li saw the sweet potato girl with a happy look, she felt very embarrassed, this child really has never seen the world, thinking that when she was so old, she had already seen all kinds of wealth with her wife, and this kind of bracelet couldn't reach them at that time, even the pure gold shrimp bracelet was nothing, only the kind of shrimp bracelet inlaid with gems could be regarded as being able to be sent to Mrs. , how rich the Li family was at that time!
Thinking of these, Mama Li sighed again, thinking that Miss would have to marry someone in the future, although Miss said that she was willing to marry a clean family from a small family, but in her opinion, Grandpa Guo would never marry Miss into such a family, even if it was not as prominent as the Guogong Mansion, it had to be no less than a marquis's family, after all, Miss was the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, how could she marry low?
However, as far as Mama Li knows, hindering Grandpa Guo's love for Miss's heart, it is very likely that she will take into account Miss's mind and choose a relatively simple house for Miss within this established range.
Thinking of these, Mama Li felt that she was still negligent in teaching young ladies in the past, and it seemed that she would have to teach them more eyesight in the future, otherwise she would not be able to be a housewife.
Mama Li pulled her fingers, feeling that the task was still very heavy, except for the female red, the others were even miserable, just take the stove as an example, although there is no need for the master to make meals by himself, but the prince's family has a lot of rice for daily eating, not to mention other ingredients, and it is not enough to know the rice and ingredients, and you have to understand the price of these, otherwise the housekeeper will be fooled by the slaves under the head, and then it will be a joke, and the shame will not be talked about and let the subordinates laugh, which is extremely unfavorable to the housekeeper director.
Because these things in their yard are limited, Mama Li has never taught them at all, only simply taught a few dishes, so that the young lady does not know anything about cooking, not to mention the stove, as far as the jewelry style of the ladies and ladies, their own young ladies do not understand anything, let alone the style, the material of the jewelry is estimated that the young lady will not recognize a few, not to mention the techniques and characteristics of the masters who do the craft.
When Mama Li was young, she was trained in the Li Mansion with the lady who was not married at the time, and knowing that understanding these is extremely important for the ladies and ladies, if the young lady does not know this, she will attract jokes when she intersects with people in the future, and she will not be able to integrate into the circle of noblewomen, and others may laugh at the young lady is a nouveau riche who feels that sitting with her is a drop price, but Mama Li does not want to think about this situation.
For the sake of Miss's future, Mama Li feels that it is time to act, not only Miss has to learn, but also Taro and Xiangsui have to learn, how can a lady not have a few powerful and eye-catching big girls around, but if you want to fold and find one or two more credible girls, Taro is destined not to marry into Miss's future husband's family, after all, their family has no deed, and it is not suitable to go.
Mama Li estimates that when the young lady gets married in the future, except that she can accompany her, the taro will never be able to go in, because the close-fitting girl who will marry is very likely to be the person in the aunt's house in the future, how can the taro be Qingfeng's daughter-in-law? Eighty percent can only show the dowry shop and Zhuangzi to the young lady outside. So without the taro, there is only Xiangsui by the side of the young lady, who seems to be a reliable big girl at the moment, how can this work?
Mama Li felt that she had to hurry up and find someone, but now this search is not in a hurry, or teach Miss to be a qualified lady to reuse, thinking of this, but a little sigh, in the end, the old lady did not do things absolutely nothing, Mrs. previous fabrics and jewelry were not completely ignored, or let them take away some, including many treasures, these she was not willing to take out to show Miss in the past, now she should take it out to let Miss and taro have long eyes.
Although there are many of these thoughts, but Mama Li has long been in her heart, and now it is just a sudden thing to determine again, and when she has made up her mind, she saw that the taro was still touching the bracelet with that joy, and she wanted to wear it but was embarrassed to wear it, so she smiled and said: "Okay, if you want to wear it, you can wear it, Qingfeng gave it to you is not for you to press the bottom of the box, and besides, it is not a valuable object, so you don't have to be like this little family." ”
It's not that I don't want to wear the taro, but I'm a little embarrassed in front of the mother, and this time the mother said, it's not good not to wear it, and I said with a smile: "No, I don't want to take a closer look, I think that although this bracelet is a simple silver bracelet, it still looks a little different from ordinary silver bracelets." She really didn't tell a lie, she did see something different.
Mama Li knew that she would see something different, after all, this was a brushed bracelet, so she smiled and took the bracelet in the hand of the taro, pointed to the place where the wire was drawn, and said to the taro: "This bracelet is indeed different from other bracelets, although other people also have a few bracelets twisted together, but this is different from them, you see that this silk is more uniform and smoother, and it is much thinner than the strands of ordinary people, and craftsmen without certain skills cannot do this." ”
When the taro heard this, he was surprised, and he hurriedly took the bracelet and looked at it carefully, it was really not only much thinner, but also high gloss, which was really good-looking, and sighed unconsciously: "It's true, Mama just has eyesight, I don't want Brother Qingfeng to buy such a good bracelet for me, now I really don't dare to wear it, it will be bad if I lose it." ”
Mama Li glanced at the frightened taro with a smile on her face, and said angrily: "Look at your appearance, although this bracelet is worth a few taels of silver, it is not so bad that you don't dare to wear it, you wear it well, but be careful, in the end, it was given by Qingfeng, and it is not good to lose it." As he spoke, he put the bracelet on the wrist of the taro.
