Miss Fu Er didn't expect that the good thing that Man Bao said to bring her would be a basket of ginger. She was quite speechless and stood inside the door without speaking for a long time.
Man Bao really thinks her ginger is very strange, because she watched it grow and grow up.
She and Ms. Fu Er recommended, "Jiang Xin, slightly warm, returns to the lung, spleen and stomach meridian, can sweat and relieve the exterior, warm the middle to stop vomiting, warm the lungs and relieve cough, and dispel cold evil, so ginger is used in tea. It’s time to collect autumn food, your father must be very busy, and you have to pay more attention to your health at this time, so buy some ginger and make tea for him.”
Miss Fu Er was amused by her, and asked, "Do you still know medical skills?"
Man Bao shook his head, "I don't understand, I just followed the scriptures."
Miss Fu Er smiled slightly, turned her head and said to the girl: "Since Man Bao said her ginger is good, it must be good, buy them all and send them to the kitchen."
The girl agreed, instead of picking up the basket, she wanted to take Zhou Zhoulang to the kitchen.
Man Bao scratched his head and said to her, "Does your family eat so much? Just buy some. If you feel good, we will send you fresh ones in the future. My family grows a lot of ginger."
Second Miss Fu was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "I've never seen sellers want buyers to buy more, but this is the first time I've seen sellers persuade people to buy less."
Man Bao said solemnly: "Although we are also in business, we don't cheat people. Ginger is also used in stewing meat and making tea. Why don't you just buy a catty, which is only forty yuan. The tender part can still be fried, you must have an iron pot at home, right?"
How did Second Miss Fu know
However, she didn't listen to Man Bao's words, and still decided to buy them all. "My family can't finish eating, and I can give it to others. Let them go to the kitchen to weigh it. You can stay and talk to me."
Miss Fu Er liked talking to Man Bao very much, especially after she became a pen pal with her. Although there was a five-year age difference between the two, she felt that she could get along with Man Bao.
Man Bao has less prejudice against her, and thinks that although she is the daughter of the county magistrate, she is still very cute, and there are very few young ladies around her who can be said to be reasonable, and she cherishes this friendship very much.
When Zhou Zhoulang heard Man Bao's offer, he went to the kitchen with his maid with a basket on his back.
Second Miss Fu couldn't invite Zhou Xi and others to enter the door, so she just reached out and took Man Bao's hand and stood aside to talk, "My mother took my eldest sister back to my grandfather's house to celebrate her birthday. There are few people in the family, so I can't even speak No one, so boring."
Man Bao asked, "Aren't you going to school?"
She feels that she is very busy every day, especially when she is in school. As soon as she wakes up, she has to go to school, and when she comes back from school, she has to do homework, look at the things she has grown, play, and read. Time seems to be limited. How can it be boring
Second Miss Fu said: "My eldest sister is not at home, and the farming season is busy again, so I gave my husband a holiday."
And even if her husband does not have a holiday, she only has half a day of class, so she is very curious about Manbao's life. In her cognition, it is impossible for a girl from a peasant family to go to school. Even among the friends she knows, they are very literate. few.
Their family is also called by the grandmother. She and her brothers and sisters lived with their grandmother in the early years, and then they got used to inviting a teacher to teach. When they first came to the county, her mother never thought of inviting a teacher for their sisters.
Especially after they communicated with each other, Miss Fu Er was very interested in Man Bao's life. She felt that there were many things she couldn't say to her mother and eldest sister, but she could talk to Man Bao.
Second Miss Fu took Man Bao's hand and asked the girl to back off a little before asking, "Why do you always come out to do business with your family? Is your family short of money?"
"Yes, my family is very short of money," Man Bao said, pointing his fingers, "My family is going to build a house, and I have to say goodbye to my fourth brother and fifth brother. I also want to buy a lot of things to eat, so the money is always not enough Useful, but I can’t always come out now, I still have to study, my friend said, I need to study more, and I will be able to go further and make more money when I grow up, otherwise I am young now , even if you are smart, you can’t make much money.”
Second Miss Fu smiled, "Your friend is really good, what's her name?"
Man Bao hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I can't tell you what it's called, it won't let me say it."
Second Miss Fu nodded understandingly, "Okay, what book have you been reading recently?"
"I'm studying "The Book of Songs" and "The Great Learning", but Mr. "Great Learning" is less talked about, saying that we are still young, and more about telling us the history of the previous dynasty and teaching us arithmetic. So recently I especially like to read " "Biography of the Sui Dynasty", how about you?"
Second Miss Fu looked at Man Bao in surprise, and said, "I'm also studying The Book of Songs, but I haven't read The Great Learning..."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "The "University" was learned by my older brother and younger brother. It seems that the master has no intention of teaching us."
Man Bao said: "He doesn't teach, you can read it yourself, if you don't understand, ask sir, our husband said that "University" is very important, the so-called university is the learning of adults, it is the knowledge of becoming a saint."
Second Miss Fu burst out laughing suddenly, looking at the serious Man Bao, burst into tears, "But we are women, and we don't need to be saints, why should we study "University"?"
"Ah?" Changing Manbao was dumbfounded now, she blinked suspiciously and asked, "Why can't women become saints? Our husband didn't say that women can't become saints. The husband said that if you want to achieve the best, you must study things, Extending knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world. Only when we have learned these things can we become perfect people. However, my husband also said that it is difficult to become a saint, but he never said that women If I can't become a saint, my master still praises me for being smart, and I'm better at learning than Bai Shanbao, hehe."
Miss Fu Er stared at her blankly, and said after a while, "You are right, it seems that no one has said that women cannot be holy."
Seeing that she agreed with his point of view, Man Bao became happy, and said: "Yes, you are older than me and know more than me. Now you can read "University" by yourself first. If you don't understand, you can ask sir."
Second Miss Fu smiled and asked, "Then can I ask you?"
"Of course." Man Bao became excited and said with a smile, "We are friends. You can ask me, and I can ask you. This is called asking each other for advice."
Miss Fu Er nodded with a smile, and said: "Then you must always ask your brothers to deliver letters to me, and you don't need your brothers. Anyone who comes out of your village can have a letter delivered to the door, and I will definitely reply." .”
Man Bao solemnly agreed.
Miss Fu Er seemed to be afraid that she would forget, and said, "Anything delicious and rare in your house can be sent to my house, and I will buy it when I see it."
Man Bao felt that her family was very rich, and nodded enviously, "My wish is to be you, and I can spend money as I want."
Second Miss Fu couldn't help bursting out laughing, pinched her round face, and said cheerfully, "You're so cute."
Man Bao praised her back, "You are also very cute."
She is a good child who reciprocates courtesy, Man Bao thought happily.
