Chapter 5: Homecoming
"Fifth sister, Sister Xu is a doctor?"
The carriage began to "da-da" towards the Anping Bo Mansion on Qingning Street, and Geng Xingchen asked curiously.
Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Don't look at Sister Xu's age, but her medical skills are very good, her grandfather went to the doctor, and Second Brother Xu called Sister Xu to come over for a consultation, which is enough to show that Sister Xu's medical skills are very good, and the people around here also recognize Sister Xu's medical skills, and they don't look for her because Sister Xu is young." ”
"She's so powerful, I always thought that only an old doctor with gray hair and beard could be trusted, but now it seems that I am too good-looking."
"You are not wrong to think so, the matter of seeing a doctor requires both self-study and experience accumulation, as well as a lot of memorization knowledge, Sister Xu is precocious and has a family history, which is rare like her.
But the sixth sister doesn't have to envy Sister Xu, you are also very good, you see that you are younger than Sister Xu, but few people can make shoes with one hand. ”
Geng Xingchen was a little embarrassed, "I was also forced by my mother since I was a child, she let me learn to be popular, but I am only interested in making shoes, so in order to fool my mother, I make shoes every day, my mother was very happy at first, but now she doesn't want me to touch shoes, she just wants me to cut clothes, embroider purses, embroider handkerchiefs, and even want me to go to the big kitchen to learn to make steamed buns." ”
"Then this time the third aunt ......"
"It's all instigated by the second aunt, she just saw that I was uncomfortable with the fifth sister and you made money, so she told my mother something that I didn't have, I thought about it, if my mother stopped me again, I said that I would earn the dowry myself, and maybe I could earn the fourth brother's dowry."
Although Geng Xingchen also made some money with Geng Xingshuang before, she had loose hands, either buying snacks or buying some novel things, and she couldn't save money, her mother Jiang didn't see real money from her, and listened to the words of the second aunt Yao, saying that the girl's family should know everything, and she could only make shoes, but other female celebrities and cooking skills couldn't do it, and she would always be short of breath in the future.
In fact, in Geng Xingshuang's opinion, she felt that the third aunt might not think that the second aunt's words were right, but now only the second uncle is an official in the family, and in the future, the girls in the family will have to rely on the second uncle and the second aunt, so she made a look of being obedient to the second aunt's words.
Geng Xingshuang took Geng Xingchen out for nearly two hours, and when he returned to Bofu, it was almost noon.
"Six girls!"
As soon as she entered the house, Bai Zhi greeted her, "Mrs. has been asking where you have been, and she is very worried." ”
"Does my mother know that my grandmother is going to sell pandan?"
Pandan, like half a roll, was called by the people of the main courtyard on the grounds that they had something to help.
Bai Zhi nodded, "I know, it was the marigold sister in the second wife's house who said it." ”
Geng Xingchen was a little disappointed, "So, if the second aunt doesn't let people say it, my mother will still be kept in the dark?" ”
These words were muttered by Geng Xingchen in a low voice, and neither Geng Xingshuang nor Bai Zhi could say anything.
"Fifth sister, I'll go back to Wutong Garden first."
Looking at Geng Xingchen's somewhat wilted back, he drew the curtain and said: "Girl, what do you think about the third wife, does she really want to rely on the second master and the second wife to help the fourth young master and the sixth girl find a good family?" ”
The eldest young master, the third girl, and the fourth girl in the second room have not said that they are married, the eldest young master is nineteen years old this year, and next year will be the year of the weak crown.
There are three girls and four girls, the three girls are concubines, this year and Xu, this family matter has not yet been settled, the fourth girl is a concubine, and the three girls are only one year old, and the matter of marriage is also imminent.
Therefore, in terms of kissing, whether it is marrying a noble son-in-law or marrying a noble girl, the second room itself is a little too busy to take care of itself, and the official position of the second master is obviously more than enough and not enough.
The second room is like this, and the curtain can't figure out what the third wife thinks.
"Compared with the relatives of the fourth brother and the sixth sister, the third aunt is more worried about the days after the plaque of Anpingbo's Mansion is taken back."
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I understood what the girl meant, but I didn't feel so clear.
Back at Qingcui Temple, the lunch of the master and servant has been brought back from the large kitchen by Jinbao.
While taking the food out of the food box, the painting curtain complained, "Twenty taels of silver for a month's meal, the meat is rare." ”
This is still the meal of the masters, except for the New Year's Festival, even the vegetables are a bowl of water with a few vegetable leaves floating on it.
"I've got you guys to eat!" Geng Xingshuang said angrily.
"Naturally, the girl didn't miss our food, but ...... Mrs. Bo was too much, and she didn't know what to do after receiving so much silver. ”
The curtain is just for their big house is not worth it, when the uncle was injured and stepped down as the commander of the Yu Nanwei Tongzhi, he directly crossed the eldest lord who was the eldest son of the eldest son and gave the favor to the second master, which is not in accordance with the rules, it stands to reason that the big house has suffered such a big loss, and there will always be more compensation in other aspects.
But......
"Now it's getting more and more violent."
Half of the roll was sold, if it weren't for the fact that the girl had the silver in her hand, and the uncle was on an errand in the government, the half roll didn't know what dirty place it would fall into.
The curtain can't help but hurt something, and I am even more worried that Mrs. Bo will do more and more things on the table in the future, not only them, but also the girl, although the girl is married, but the future aunt is not in Ningdu, and the family can't help, I am afraid that Mrs. Bo will lose her mind and go crazy, and for the sake of interests, she will calculate the girl.
These things happen every day in this Ningdu City, and no matter how smart the girl is, there will always be times when she can't be guarded against.
Thinking so, Paint Curtain came in.
"Mother's lunch break?"
"Mrs. is asleep, Sister Marigold is serving, girl, Mrs. said that Sister Banjuan will not come back, and the slave will follow the girl in the future."
Jinbao and Geng Xingshuang are the same year, thirteen years old this year, they are round and round, they look like a noisy and soft white-faced steamed bun, without the sharpness of marigolds and curtains, but Jinbao is well versed in the skill of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and she has the strength to do some martial arts, and she can knock down two or three adult men who have not practiced martial arts.
Her mother felt that after opening the shop, she would have to run outside often in the future, and it would be safer to have Jinbao by her side, but there were Mrs. Bo and the second wife at home, and Geng Xingshuang was also a little worried about her mother, worried that she would suffer.
There are still too few people, and I don't know if the letter she wrote to her second brother can be received, can she find two female dart masters for her.
I don't know how much monthly silver it takes to hire a female dart master as a guard, shopkeeper Yuan and shopkeeper Liu helped her do publicity, and Sister Yan, I don't know if I listened to my own words, participated in more parties, and publicized the Mingshang Pavilion.
"Then you can follow me, by the way, how much money did Mrs. Bo receive? How did the third sister do to stop Mrs. Bo? ”
Whether it was stopped or not, in short, the result did not change, as soon as they entered the mansion, they knew that Banjuan, Shenshui, and Xianglan were taken away by Yu Pozi, and as for how much silver Mrs. Bo received from Yu Pozi, Geng Xingshuang didn't know.
