Li Yuan woke up and the sky was slightly bright, she cleaned up the two children and made breakfast, and Xie Yanzhi came back from outside.

At this time, regardless of his image, he carried a big bamboo basket on his back.

When he saw her, he raised a bright smile and said, "Yuanniang, I bought some things for my relationship, you come and have a look." ”

Before Li Yuan approached, he saw him unload the big basket and put it on the dining table in the hall.

After that, take it out as well.

"This is the rouge of Shuxiang Pavilion, mouth grease, green daisy and makeup powder. I bought a lot of them, and I thought that when the time came, I would give them to a few sisters-in-law and cousins. In addition, there is some cloth here, which is relatively soft and fine cotton. I heard you say that the second sister-in-law is pregnant, I don't think I can favor one over the other, so I will buy more, and when the time comes, each family will give three feet, which is enough to make a dress for the newborn child. ”

As he spoke, he began to categorize: "Also, there are some pastries here that I asked my friends to help me make, such as cloud cakes, dragon whisker cakes, and jujube cakes. This weather can withstand the release, and you will see how you divide it when the time comes. In addition, the rest are books and past papers that I asked people to find. I thought that as long as Junzi and Zhengzi can do these things in the next month or so, if I think they can, then they should be able to take the exam for a hang-up show. ”

Xiao Qingsha and Cai Wei, when they heard so many things, one of their eyes fell on the pastries, and the other on the cosmetics.

It's just that both of them are now supported by their mothers, and they are no longer like before, they haven't seen much of the world.

Even if they wanted to taste it, or draw a picture, to see what was going on, they didn't say a word.

It was Li Yuan, who swept his eyes around the things on the table, and then said, "You eat first, I'll load the things into the car, and we'll have to set off later." By the way, Brother Xie, Uncle Li, how do we arrange it? Just leave enough food for them? ”

"Keep two months' worth of grain for the two of them, and give one month's worth of silver first. Not surprisingly, after Junzi and their county test, we have to come over again. ”

"Good!"

Li Yuan said, took the things to load the carriage, and she didn't ask Xie Yanzhi how much money it cost to buy those things, and where did the money come from.

When she had packed the contents of the carriage and made it soft, she went to the porter.

Li Laohan and his grandson were already waiting on the side, and when they saw Li Yuan, he pushed Li Tai forward.

After Li Tai knelt down, he bowed his head and bent down and said, "Mrs. Li, this little grandson of the old slave is also a scholar. Now because of the change in family circumstances, it has to be interrupted. It's just that the old slave thinks that he can still recognize a few more words. Now that he is nine years old and a clever man, the old slave begs Mrs. Li to give her a chance so that Atai can follow her master. Even if you don't know what to read, it's good to be able to run errands and open your eyes. ”

Lee Tae is young, but very intelligent.

After his grandfather said this, he kowtowed to Li Yuan in a timely manner, and then said: "Mrs. Li, I heard that the old man is going to participate in the township test this year, in this case, there is no little guy around him." Don't look at the young ones, but the little ones can do errands and other jobs. Please, give the little one a chance! ”

Li Yuan also thought about this, and she watched TV series and novels that told her that it was better for a scholar to be accompanied by an errand boy.

In this way, if there is anything to do, he is delayed, he can't come back, or where to deliver a letter or something, he can let the little guy run on his behalf.

It's just that she sees that Li Tai is really young, and she always feels that if she uses this child, she will be the same as hiring a child. It makes no difference.

Therefore, while she asked people to get up, she said, "You have to be the master to decide this matter." Although I want to marry him, I do not interfere with him in this regard. If you open your mouth and he is willing to accept you as a servant, that's the best. If you don't want to, don't be discouraged. After all, at your age, it's a little embarrassing to be up or down. ”

Li Tai also knew this, so when Li Yuan gave Li Laohan a month's moon silver, and told him that after the house left food there, he followed her and went into the main courtyard to find Xie Yanzhi.

Xie Yanzhi and Qingsha Caiwei had already finished breakfast and were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks when they saw Li Tai come in.

Cai Wei was taught by her grandmother Su, she was already a big girl at the age of seven, and she had to know how to avoid it in front of foreign men, so when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly hid behind Li Yuan.

Xie Yanzhi glanced at her, and then saw Li Yuan frowning out of the corner of his eye, so he didn't say anything, but asked what Li Tai was doing here.

Li Yuan didn't pay attention to Li Tai's affairs, she held Qingsha in one hand and led Cai Wei to the stable with the other.

When the mother got into the carriage, she asked, "Cai Wei, can you tell your mother why you did that act just now?" ”

"What move?"

"It's just that when you see Li Tai, you hide behind your mother."

Cai Wei saw that her mother seemed to be a little angry, so she replied honestly: "Mother, Grandma Su said that I have outstanding appearance, even if I wear makeup, I must know how to avoid it." She also said that seven years old is considered a big girl, and the men and women of large families do not sit at the same table at the age of seven, so it is not good to see foreign men again......"

Li Yuan couldn't help but pat her forehead when she heard this, she is a good daughter, how long has she been in Fucheng, and she has only been in Sufu for a few days, what has Ou Kui taught her?

No wonder Su Mingshan said that she was taught by Aunt Qing herself.

Otherwise, according to her mother's teachings, she is not sure what kind of personality she is now.

Li Yuan, who was a little depressed in her heart, didn't show it on her face, but said with a serious face: "Cai Wei, you also said it, she is a girl from a big family." We are ordinary people, your mother and I are from a township, married to your father Liu Dongsheng, and his family is also a villager. After leaving, even if we remarry you Uncle Xie, at most our mother's identity will be slightly higher. ”

"But the people who interact with us are ordinary people, so you don't need to do anything more. Could it be that when you go back to Lijiaao, you can still hide at home and not go out to meet people? Qingwei is your cousin, who was over seven years old two years earlier, do you have to avoid it and don't talk to him? Even if you say it, you are standing far away, or you are hiding your face with a handkerchief? ”

Cai Wei was smart, and when she heard this, she knew that her mother was unhappy, and it was because of her actions just now.

She followed her mother's words, thought about the picture, and suddenly felt awkward, so she said, "Mother, then what do you think I should do?" Grandma Su said, my Uncle Xie is capable, and it is a matter of time before he is lifted in the examination. When the time comes, I will be a young lady in the house, and my status will become higher, and people will have to be a little bit upright, so that people can't think that my sister and I are the oil bottles that you brought in, and I want to embarrass my mother......"

"Stop! Cai Wei, I don't care what your Grandma Su told you, but now my mother is telling you that what she said may be applicable to others, but it is definitely not applicable to you. You can wear makeup now, just an ordinary little girl in Lijiaao, we don't shy away from it so much. You don't have to go this way or that. Of course, you don't have to think about whether you will embarrass your mother. What was it before, and what it is now, can you understand? ”
