In the end, Xingzhu hated iron and steel and left.
She felt that she really liked this little lady, and she even thought about how she should hide from the young lady's eyes when she went to the Ember Mansion, but this little lady is too ignorant of flattery, a cook who is ten taels of silver a month, The royal chef in the palace doesn't have this price!
If Mrs. Ji really liked her snacks, or if the young miss really couldn't please Mrs. Mingxiu, so she had to work hard on Mrs. Ji, it would be impossible to treat a cook so favorably!
Seeing the little girl stepping into the carriage and leaving in the dust, Qiao Wei shook her head helplessly. The little girl is not bad-hearted, but she doesn't agree with each other. Master, you are slaves when you open your mouth and shut your mouth.
Besides, it would be troublesome to raise a child after becoming a slave. The child is so young and must be taken with her. Do you want her children to also make haha beads for the daughter of the rich family
It was still early, Qiao Wei decided not to rent a carriage and walked back to the village.
It took an hour and a half to walk ten miles, but it was much worse than her previous life. With this distance, in her previous life, she could run down directly.
Simply set off early, the road took so long and it was just noon, Qiao Wei went to the old scholar's house to pick up the child. The daughter's condition is obviously much better today, she didn't cry, her face was rosy, and she rushed over with a smile when she saw her.
Qiao Wei was still a little out of strength, squatted down and hugged her: "How are you doing today?"
Wang Shu smiled and said, "Good boy!"
Qiao Wei smiled.
Soon, her son also came out, with a serious appearance, like a young champion, Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing, rubbed his son's head, and asked him: "Why are you and your sister? The others Woolen cloth?"
Jing Yun replied: "I was detained."
"Why?" Qiao Wei asked suspiciously.
Jing Yun said: "Mr. asked them to recite the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" learned yesterday, but they couldn't recite it."
After teaching so much in one breath, who can recite it? It's not that Qiao Wei has any objections to the old show, it's because he teaches a little too much.
In fact, Qiao Wei wrongly blamed the old scholar. The old scholar taught a short lesson yesterday-at the beginning of human beings, nature is good, similar in nature, but far away in habit. If you don't teach, your nature will change, and the way to teach is to specialize.
Only four characters were taught in Thousand Characters——Tian Di Xuan Huang. These words were required to be recognized, but Jing Yun already knew how to write them.
As for the other two paragraphs that Jing Yun recited to Qiao Wei, they were just the content that the old scholar read casually. He listened to it once and memorized it.
He also learned a lot of idioms.
"I don't know anything!"
Tieniu endorsed and was scolded.
"Absent!"
Er Gouzi was scolded in a daze.
"Playthings lose their ambitions!"
Er Gouzi's younger brother was scolded for playing with a slingshot.
It's really interesting to be able to curse people with so few words.
At this time, Qiao Wei still didn't know that the origin of her son's interest in reading was that it was more convenient to scold others.
…
It’s almost Chinese New Year, and every household is busy, Qiao Wei is no exception. First, she took the children to clean up the house, and then went to the town together to buy some New Year’s goods. Not to mention snacks, couplets, New Year pictures, firecrackers, etc. bought a little.
The couplets were chosen by Jing Yun. After more than ten days of studying with my husband, he has already learned a lot of characters.
Shanglian: Everything is going smoothly and auspicious stars have arrived.
The second couplet: All the best and blessings come to the door.
Horizontal batch: wealth is abundant.
In addition to the couplets, there are also two New Year pictures of the God of Wealth, pasted on the door, red and festive, very beautiful.
Qiao Wei lit the stove, spread the bought red paper on the table, and cut window grilles with the children.
The orphanage is a bit bitter, but there are many people from all over the world, and they can learn a lot, and window grille cutting is one of them.
She can cut snowflakes, Sixi, Fulinmen... Snowflakes are relatively simple, folded in half twice, draw a pattern, and cut according to the pattern.
Jing Yun learned quickly, and by the time the third snowflake was already very beautiful, Wang Shu spent a long time messing with a pile of paper, without cutting out a single petal.
Jing Yun sighed helplessly, and while his mother was cooking, he gave his own cuts to his younger sister, and then took the younger sister's to continue cutting.
When Qiao Wei returned to the house after cooking, she found that the two children were covered with exquisite window grilles: "Wang Shu also learned?"
Wang Shu nodded without blushing, and said with a smile: "My brother taught me!"
Jing Yun coughed lightly, but did not speak.
Qiao Wei: I always feel that the two little guys are hiding something from me!
After eating, Qiao Wei said while cleaning up the dishes: "Tomorrow is the last day of class, you will be on vacation after the class, have you done all the homework left by the teacher?"
The children shook their heads.
Qiao Wei hurriedly urged the two of them, "Go ahead and do it, mother, go wash the dishes, go down the mountain later, and give some window grilles to grandma and uncle."
After Qiao Wei walked out of the room, the two children took out their homework. What the old gentleman assigned was to copy the "Three Character Classic", which was written on the bamboo slips, washed with water after writing, and can be used next time.
The two brothers and sisters sat facing each other on the kang, with a small square table in the middle. Jing Yun wrote very seriously.
Wang Shu held the brush clumsily, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I don't know."
Jing Yun put down his pen, walked around and sat beside her: "Which one can't? I'll teach you."
Neither will.
Her characters were big, and the bamboo slips were too thin, so she threw them out as soon as she stroked them, and she couldn't remember the order of the strokes.
After writing for a long time, she couldn't finish writing, and she burst into tears.
Jing Yun sighed helplessly, first finished his homework with his right hand, then switched to his left hand and wrote his sister's as well.
When Qiao Wei returned to the house, two homeworks with completely different handwriting were neatly placed on the table.
In the past few days, Qiao Wei occasionally went to the mountains, but she never met anyone buying her prey in a cage. Presumably, that mountain hermit went home for the New Year.
Rongji's business lasted until the first day of the new year, and then it didn't open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. During this period, Qiao Wei's dim sum didn't sell much, but the rewards added up to several taels. It seems that Rongji is not an ordinary teahouse. The entertainers were not ordinary people either.
But this has nothing to do with Qiao Wei, as long as she has money to earn, it doesn't matter who she sells to.
On the day of Xiaonian, Rongji closed the door, and the place where Uncle Luo and his youngest son worked was also closed, and the two rushed back to the village one after another.
Uncle Luo was working in the county government office, so he was close by and arrived at noon. Luo Yongnian was in the capital, and it was already evening when he arrived home.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw bright red window grilles on the walls, snowflakes, monkeys (this year is the year of the monkey), and all kinds of blessings. The festive winks made the whole person feel one of a kind. Bright.
Afterwards, he heard the children's laughter, turned into the house and saw a pair of pink and jade-carved dolls sitting on the kang covered with mattresses. He worked in a big shop and had seen many big families But no one has ever been so beautiful, just like the little fairy boy in the New Year pictures.
Next to the doll was a girl in a lavender jacket, sitting sideways, with a slender figure, fair complexion, and a very soft profile.
As if she felt that someone was looking at her, she slowly turned her face, her eyes were as bright as a spring.
Luo Yongnian was stunned for a moment.
