The second sister smiled and said, “It’s easy if everything is ready. Pick a good day and set a few tables.” While talking, people called in Osmanthus, Wang Dagui’s wife, osmanthus, saying that the cabinet in her house was broken. Let Wang Dagui take the time to go back to Wu's house.
After the sweet-scented osmanthus came, the second sister gave her something again, saying that she didn't know before. Now that she knows, she naturally wants to congratulate her.
Osmanthus saw her second sister, naturally it was a desperate flattery, and the second sister often asked her to come in and talk with her as if she liked her.
On the day when Qingluo set the wine, the yard was really lively. Then Osmanthus came over to help Qingluo out, and Wang Tianhu and Wang Dagui sent the bride out.
The people in the yard didn't know which family Qingluo allowed at this time, so they all guessed wildly. Honghua came to ask her second sister, and the second sister sighed, "She is like that, I can only find someone far away for her." He also said that in order to avoid any problems in the future, I can't let anyone find it. Many people inquire.
When Honghua heard this, she was naturally asked when she went out. She half-truth said that she was from a distant place, how are the people of that family, and so on. She also said that she was entrusted with Zhang Family Wang Family Li Family Gao Family Seventh Rank. Looking around for a family of farmers, the family population is also simple, but a little poor.
After hearing this, everyone said, why are you afraid of being poor? Good people will do.
Less than half a year after she got married, Qingluo came back crying again, saying that the man had died of a sudden illness, and her in-laws drove her back because she was unlucky. Kneeling in front of the second sister's door and kowtow begging her to give her another way to survive, the second sister sighed twice and let her help her up, and said that somehow she was also the person who had served her before. Come back when she comes back. They were also brought back to the house to wash and change clothes and comb her hair.
When Honghua heard about her, she brought something to see her. She saw that she was sitting in the room with nothing on her head in blue clothes and combing her head. She sighed with tears, "This is really... why did she find one? Short-lived?" I asked her if she was physically fit. If she had a child, she could be sent back. The in-laws would not want her even if she looked at the child's face.
Qingluo also wiped her tears and said that there was no such blessing, and she didn't leave him any seedlings.
The two of them sat and cried for a while, Honghua asked why he died of a sudden illness, Qingluo screamed for a while and said that she was drinking water from the river outside, and she died after coming back with a stomachache for a few days. Can't save. He covered his face and cried again, but he couldn't make clear words. Seeing that she was so sad, Hong Hua stopped asking, "That's all in the past, so don't think about it anymore. Anyway, the girl wants you, you can't keep these things in your stomach, don't Cry again, so as not to upset the girl."
Qing Luo said softly: "...The girl has a good heart, so she won't be upset about this little thing."
Later, the second sister asked Qingluo to move outside first, let the Wang family take care of her, and occasionally asked her to come in and talk, and give her something at intervals. After the second sister's youngest son was born, she was called in again to wait on her. After that, she never left the second sister's house.
Mother Lu came to see her second sister early in the morning. The second sister yawned. Qi Jin waited for her to put on clothes and wash. She asked, "What's the matter? Come here early?"
Mother Lu came to take the comb in Qijin's hand and whispered: "Last night, the lotus and the bright moon fought."
The second sister was startled: "...what?"
Mother Lu smiled and leaned to her second sister's ear, and whispered to learn what happened in the middle of the night. Lotus and Mingyue each occupy a small house. Because there are children and "milk" mothers in Mingyue's house, the child loves to cry at night, so sometimes she runs to live in the lotus house. Because the second sister doesn't care about the two of them, the girls in the yard also know that these two are the concubines of the second master, but they don't like the second master. Now that the second master is not at home, no one is willing to get close to the two of them to make the second sister upset, and no one knows when it turns out to be a fight.
There was a little girl who ran around at night, and when she came back, she heard someone in the lotus house whispering, something like Wu's bastard hooves. The little girl was brought by the Wu family, and when she heard what was wrong, she ran and told Mother Lu. Mother Hu is strict, the little girl doesn't like to go to her for anything.
It was also last night that Hu's mother fell asleep and heard the little girl come over. Mama Lu put on her clothes and came over after hearing it. She leaned outside the door and listened for a while before pushing in. She saw that Mingyue was pressing the lotus on her quilt and covering her nose and mouth.
This is killing people! Mother Lu was so frightened that she hurried over to grab Mingyue and asked someone to wipe the lotus with vinegar. After a tossing, the lotus slowly came over, and Mingyue knew the severity, and stopped talking or making noise when people came in.
Mother Lu asked to send lotus flowers to another girl's house to live there first. She sat in the house and watched the bright moon all night, and then came to look for her second sister at dawn.
Mama Lu combed her second sister's hair while she was talking, and after she finished she combed her hair. The second sister took a picture in the mirror and said, "Your hands are really a coincidence." No one has ever combed this hair style.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "That is the second "milk" and "milk", so I don't dislike it."
The second sister asked someone to set up a meal, and left Mother Lu to sit down and eat together. Mother Lu said she didn't dare to wait for the second sister quickly. She was indeed agile, and Qi Jin and Mi Mei were not as fast as she could stand alone.
The second sister smiled and asked her to wait, and when she finished eating, she said that if you don't dislike it, you can eat the rest. Mother Lu hurriedly said why? He sat down happily and ate the second sister's leftovers. Mi Mei, who was standing by the side, looked at her and smiled.
While Mama Lu was eating, the second sister leaned on the couch and played with a fan and said: "You will go back in a while, and one person will play twenty bamboo boards. You are not allowed to eat today and tomorrow."
Mama Lu stood up hurriedly, carefully approached the second sister to say something, and took her eyes to see Qijin and Mi sister on the side. The second sister raised her chin, and the two girls lowered their heads and went out. The second sister smiled and said, "Just tell me."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Ordinarily, I shouldn't have said this, but it's time to see the lotus."
The second sister laughed: "What does this mean? Just take care of it, but when it's your turn to hit her, you go to play the board, remember to be lighter, but just go through the scene."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "You think the two "milks" and "milks", why are they fighting? Mingyue is a troublemaker, but lotus is not. They live in the same house not a day or two, why? Did they fight in the middle of the night last night?"
The second sister uttered a loud voice and asked her, "Is there a reason why there is nothing in it?" Mother Lu nodded and smiled with her palms: "It's still the second "milk" and "milk" to understand things! If you don't let this lotus come to see you. The second "milk" or "milk", maybe something is going on!" After talking, she fell into the ear of the second sister and snickered, "I'm afraid she is looking forward to seeing the second "milk" and "milk". I don't know how long she has been looking forward to. Up."
The second sister nodded and laughed: "You understand, I can't think of it if you don't say it. In that case, let her come over when you finish typing the board."
Mother Lu swiftly agreed to go out, and the second sister smiled before she went out: "This hair you combed for me is great. It's still time to come tomorrow."
Mother Lu couldn't stop laughing on her happy face, and her feet were a little lighter. I went out to see Mama Hu first. I learned about the fight between lotus and Mingyue last night, and then talked about the second sister's treatment, and asked, "How will Mama Hu fight this?"
Mother Hu rolled her eyes and said, "I'm going to Mingyue's place, you go to the lotus' place." Mother Hu thought well, Mingyue was an outsider after all, and she gave birth to the second master's son. A real thorn. But the lotus has something to do with the Wu family. It's not clear, and it's not appropriate to kiss him too far. Let her choose, naturally, it's better to play Mingyue, and if you play hard, you can still please the second sister. If it is to play lotus, who knows if anything else will be involved in the future
Mother Lu promised to go get the bamboo board. When she entered the girl’s room, the lotus was leaning against the bed. There was an empty bowl on the table next to her. She was the only one in the whole house, and the other girls went out to work. .
Mother Lu sighed before entering the door, took the bowl and went out and brought tea in. She used the lotus to stand up and waited for her to drink the tea before she said: "These little girls are too shameless! How to say you are also a master!"
Lotus shook her head, with a dull face, and said: "You can stop talking about this! I know that my mother hurts my heart."
Mother Lu helped her straighten her hair, looked at her with sympathy and sadness, and said that the second sister had fined her 20 times. After the lotus heard it, she was about to go down to the kang. Mother Lu hurriedly helped her down and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I am here to play this board!"
Lotus nodded, turned and lay on the kang. Mother Lu held it up, and the twenty board was quickly finished.
Then she helped her up again. Seeing that she was still unable to move for a long time as if she had been beaten up, Mama Lu heartily "kneaded" her for a long time, coaxing and persuading her, her eyes were red, and she said with tears: I really don't see you suffering like this!" Lotus just took her hand and shook her head, saying don't "worry" for me, it's not worth it.
Mother Lu told her to stop talking. She went out to fetch water and came back to wait for her to wash and comb her hair. She changed her clothes into clean clothes before telling her all about the second sister's desire to see her.
Lotus eyes brighten up! The whole person looked alive.
Mother Lu affectionately took her hand and said: "Second'milk' and'milk' know that you have been wronged. I told her that Mingyue insisted on living in a house with you and always bullied you. , The two "milks" and "milks" are distressed and want to ask you to come and meet her. Anyway, you are also a family, and no one in this yard is closer to her than you."
Lotus lowered her head and murmured: "...I don't have this blessing."
Mother Lu said a few more words and left, let the lotus rush over before lunch, and quietly mentioned her: "If you have a meal with the two'milks' and'milks' then, you will be smarter in the middle, as long as The second "milk" and the "milk" like you, so that you can make the second master round the house with you in the future. As long as you can give birth to a son, you will have the rest for the rest of your life."
The lotus nodded silently, and Mother Lu confessed another sentence, telling her to wear plain clothes, but it is best not to have patches and not too light on her head, just wear stick hairpins. Don't wear anything on your hands, to prevent the inconvenience of waiting for the second "milk" and "milk" to eat, I took her hand and looked at the nails, I still need to polish them again.
Lotus agreed one by one, thanked Mother Lu for helping her in this way, and sent her out by herself. After returning home, she sat and sent a message for a while before tidying up and going to the second sister's room.
The small house is built against the corner of the wall, and you can see several large bright houses after turning half a bend. At the door, there were two girls sitting under the porch doing needlework. Lotus took a deep breath and walked over, only to feel that this short walk has taken several years.
Lotus is not called Lotus when she was young, she has no name, and her mother just calls her Da Ya. In fact, for a long time, she didn't know that the thin and long-faced woman was her mother. She always thought it was just a wife who took care of her. Later, other people in the same room told her that it was her mother.
She looked at the woman who was sitting at the door of the stove and helping pick beans while filling her mouth in a daze. This is the mother? The woman in the kitchen room also has children. The youngest one works with her back on her back every day. She has seen the woman in the kitchen room lovingly wash the child’s hair and bath, and will quietly take the food on the stove to the child and cut vegetables. When you "touch" that piece, fill the child's mouth. She just stood outside and watched enviously. She always thinks this is the mother. Is the woman who asked her to get up to work every morning also her mother
The place where she lives is surrounded by a large piece of land. It is out of sight, a sloping wooden hut, and there are people living in it. There are only two or three women, washing clothes, cooking, chopping wood, and mowing the grass. She does everything. When she can't even say the whole thing, she knows where to find good hogweed to mow. She always felt that she was quite capable.
Then one day, a very beautiful car came over. She hid and watched. When a tall man dressed in nice clothes got off the car, all the men on the Zhuangzi came over and knelt to welcome him.
When eating at noon, a chicken was specially killed on the stove and made fragrant noodles and thick stew. She squatted at the door of the stove to help sweeping the floor early, just to get a bowl of noodles to eat early, even if she could drink the soup first.
But her mother called her back, and led her to the river in broad daylight to take a bath, rubbing her hair, ears, and fingers clean. She was so painful that she didn't dare to hide, and she was very happy in her heart. This was the first time her mother gave her a bath. In the past, she used to go to the river with a few wives indiscriminately.
After washing, she ran back to Zhuangzi. Her mother put on a nice dress that she had never worn before, and combed her hair again. The mother herself was dressed so beautifully that she had never been so good, and then she dragged her to the back of the big room where the men set the table for the master.
Smelling the vegetables floating in it, her stomach screamed. She looked at her mother timidly, but found that she was only looking at the men who were eating in the window.
I finished eating until my legs were sore and hungry that I was dazzled. After a while, everyone inside was gone, and Xi also evacuated. Listen to it saying: "Master, you can go to the back room to rest for a while, and wait until the sun is not so dry before leaving."
One of them hummed, and then listened to the sound of the table and stool, and the steps of several people went from one end to the other. The mother pulled her from one end to the other quietly behind the house. After waiting for a while, I heard that everyone in the room seemed to be gone, and my mother said to her: "You wait here, don't run around! Don't talk! Or I will beat you!"
