53 Zhuangzi (1)
On the way back, Yuchen looked at Yuxi with an incorrect expression, and couldn't help asking, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"
Yuxi said with a sad face: "I heard that those upbringing grandmothers are strict, and if you don't learn the rules well, you have to kneel with a basin of water on your head." "It's not Yuxi making it up, it's the grandma who taught her in her previous life did it.
Yuchen burst out laughing: "I didn't learn the rules well, but I just learned it twice, how dare Mama punish her?"
Yuxi's eyes blinked: "Really, won't it?" But I heard the maid say that if they don't meet Mama's requirements, they will be unhappy and scold us?"
Yuchen said helplessly: "Who is talking nonsense in front of you." We are not maids, how dare they beat or scold us?" No matter how powerful Mama is, it is just that they paid for it, how dare they be so presumptuous.
Yuxi also felt that she was stunned just now, not to mention that the nurturing grandmother invited by the Wu family to her would not appear, even if she did, she was no longer the person who was bullied in her previous life and didn't know how to resist. I want her to kneel with a basin of water, not to mention that there is no door, no window paper. Yuxi said with a smile: "The third sister is right, I thought about it myself. ”
Yuchen said: "Third sister, is it still Wen Shu during the holidays?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "I want to go to my Zhuangzi to see, I've been buying it for so long, and I haven't been there yet!"
Yuchen opened his mouth when he heard this, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Back in the courtyard, Yuchen stood at the window with a cup of tea and looked out, the lotus flowers in the lake were swaying under the breeze, which was beautiful.
Shi Qi looked at Yuchen's face with a faint melancholy, and asked puzzledly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Yuchen sighed lightly: "Sometimes, I really envy the fourth sister." She envied Yuxi for being free and unrestrained, and she had to be restricted in everything she did.
If Yuxi knew that Yuchen envied her for living a chic life, I don't know what her expression would be. Therefore, what you can't ask for is the best.
There was a smile on the corner of Shi Qi's mouth, and he said: "The girl said the opposite, it is the fourth girl who envy you." I heard Sister Hongshan say that the fourth girl often said that it would be good if she was half as smart as the girl, and she wouldn't have to study so hard. "There are really few people who can match the talent of my own girl.
Yuchen smiled, she believed that Yuxi was likely to envy her in this regard, but not necessarily in other aspects.
Yuxi went back to the Rose Courtyard to clean up and went to the upper courtyard. Mr. Song will take two days off a month, but there is no such thing as a holiday for his mother-in-law. Once she learns the rules from her upbringing grandmother, she doesn't want to have a vacation until she learns the rules. This is the last holiday.
After Yuxi saluted Mrs. Han, he said that he wanted to go to Zhuangzi.
As Yuxi became better and better, the old lady had to pay attention to Yuxi. Annoyed that Yuxi was lukewarm to her as always, and she was worried that Yuxi would be disadvantageous to the family if she resented her, so every time she saw Yuxi, her mood was very complicated: "The affairs of the Zhuangzi are handled by the subordinates." ”
Yuxi didn't think about taking care of Zhuangzi's affairs by herself, she just didn't have the ability to manage it: "Grandmother, I just want to see what Zhuangzi is like." When I bought Zhuangzi, I heard my aunt say that Zhuangzi had a general situation, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, and it was always unreliable. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and I went to see it and knew it in my heart, and I wouldn't be fooled by the people below. ”
The old lady was silent for a moment, and said, "If you want to go, then go! ”
Yuxi happily replied, "Well, I'll definitely come back before dark." ”
Mother Luo sent Yuxi away, turned her head and asked, "Old lady, why did you agree to the request of the fourth girl?" It's just that Luo's mother thinks that the old lady is too good to talk this time.
The old lady said: "Since I bought Zhuangzi, I said that I wanted to see it, and if I didn't let her see it for a few months, she wouldn't stop." Yuxi has a stubbornness, what she wants to do must be done, even if she grinds her slowly, she will not give up. Instead of letting her think about it all the time, it is better to follow her wishes. Save yourself from running every once in a while, and she is shouting that she wants to go to Zhuangzi to see.
Mother Luo smiled: "It's the old lady who spoils the fourth girl, and everything comes with her." But speaking of which, the four girls' financial luck is still good. ”
The old lady agreed with Luo's mother's words: "This girl is lucky, and everything she does is smooth." The bun shop and the grocery store are small businesses, and she doesn't think much of it, but she didn't expect that these two small shops have nearly 100 taels of income every month. This amount of money is nothing to the Guogong Mansion, but it is enough for Yuxi. Not to mention that Yuxi still has land now.
Mother Luo smiled and said, "No matter how good the luck of the fourth girl is, it can't compare to the third girl." "That's the truly blessed man. Don't be tired, someone has someone to think about everything for her, and sit back and enjoy her achievements. As for the silver money, the dowry left by the Jiang family alone has tens of thousands of taels of interest every year, which is enough for the three girls to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
Speaking of Yuchen, the old lady couldn't help but have a smile on her face. Yuchen, that's the luck of the Han family.
Qiu Shi knew that Yuxi was going to Zhuangzi to see, and he didn't stop her, so he told her: "Zhuangzi is full of mosquitoes, you have to bring a good sachet, or you will definitely come back with a full head of sachets." "It's early autumn, and there are still a lot of mosquitoes on Zhuangzi.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Well, when the time comes, I will bring two more sachets on my body, and mosquitoes will not be able to get close!" There are medicinal herbs in the sachet, so don't worry about mosquitoes.
In the evening, Hong Shan happily said to Yuxi: "Girl, the old lady said that the girl's luck is very good, and everything is smooth?"
Yuxi's heart suddenly suddenly, and he asked quietly, "How do you say this?"
Hong Shan said with a smile: "It's that the bun shop opened by the girl and the grocery store are both profitable, and she happened to buy a good Zhuangzi, so the old lady thinks that the girl has good luck." Well, especially wealthy. ”
Yuxi knew that the old lady didn't suspect that she was wrong, so she was relieved: "You go home now, and let your little brother pass the word to Fang's mother and the shopkeeper Meng, and let them go to Zhuangzi too." ”
Hong Shan responded crisply and left.
The next day, Tianmeng Meng Liang Yuxi set off, in addition to Shen's mother, she also brought Hongshan and Zi Jin, and also followed six tall and large family members.
After walking for about an hour, the sun came out, and it was getting hotter and hotter in the carriage. Yuxi had fine sweat on her forehead, Zi Jin took out a fan, and was about to fan Yuxi, but was pushed by Yuxi and said, "I'm not hot, you fan Shen's mother!"
Shen's mother has gained a lot of weight in the two years she has been in the Rose Courtyard, and the fat person is afraid of heat, and Shen's mother will be sweating all over her head. She didn't want a violet fan, so she took the fan herself and fanned hard: "If it was cloudy like yesterday, it wouldn't be so hot." "On such a hot day, I don't know why the girl has to go to see this villa. There is nothing to see about this villa except for fields and trees.
Yuxi saw Shen's mother's discomfort, and said with a smile: "It's cool when you get to Zhuangzi." I haven't been out before, so I just want to take the opportunity to breathe. ”
Hongshan has been growing up in the inner house, and this is the first time she has gone out, so she feels very novel, and can't help but open the curtain and look outside.
Seeing this, Shen's mother scolded Hongshan: "What do you look like? ”
Hong Shan shrank her head and didn't dare to say anything. Yuxi said softly: "It's hard to come out once, just follow her wishes!" Seeing that Shen's mother was about to say something, Yuxi said: "I'm only five years old this year, and I'm not old enough to avoid it." ”
Shen's mother was immediately dumbfounded, and Yuxi's appearance often made her forget her real age.
After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived at Zhuangzi. When the group got out of the carriage, Hong Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful." ”
The lush mountains and forests, the endless fields, the golden rice seeds, the clusters of bright wild flowers on the ground, and even the colorful butterflies dance. The water of the nearby stream flowed slowly, and there were fish swimming happily in the water. What a beautiful rural setting.
Yuxi saw the qiē in front of him, and his mood was soothed, and it was like a paradise here. Eight thousand taels of silver to buy this piece of land and mountains and forests will definitely not be a loss.
Zhuangtou Chen took the family to wait at the intersection early, and when he saw Yuxi and his party, he immediately came over and knelt on the ground to salute Yuxi: "The fourth girl is well." ”
Steward Chen is over forty years old, he is an old servant of the Guogong Mansion, and he has always worked in the Zhuangzi of the Guogong Mansion before, and he is very familiar with farming. The Qiu family also took a fancy to this person's honesty and honesty, so they chose him to be the steward of this Zhuangzi. Although Yuxi is the master, she is only five years old in the end, and if she chooses a dishonest Qiu, she is afraid that she will not be able to control it. The slave bully is not a matter of talking.
Yuxi followed Steward Chen into a big blue brick house. The house is huge, with two entrances and a back garden. But the back garden is now a vegetable garden.
Steward Chen said with some trepidation: "Girl, this house was left by the previous steward. "The previous steward naturally refers to the steward of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion.
Yuxi said with a smile: "Looking at this house, you can know that the steward of the Hou Mansion is greedy for ink. "Where can an ordinary steward afford to build such a house?
Steward Chen was shocked, but he didn't know how to say it, for fear that he would say too much, so he just stood there with a red face.
Seeing this, the eldest daughter-in-law of Steward Chen hurriedly said: "Girl, the slave maid's family is loyal to the girl, and will never do such a thing." "Steward Chen's eldest daughter-in-law and Liu Yue's sister-in-law are cousins, and it was she who used the dowry silver to find someone, so this errand could fall on her father-in-law.
This can be regarded as a sign of loyalty, but unfortunately Yuxi didn't buy it, and said coldly: "Did I ask you?" When you are in power, you will go up to the pole to please the woman who stammers, and when you are in power, you will step on you hard.
Steward Chen's eldest daughter-in-law's face turned pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Girl, forgive your sins." ”
Yuxi didn't look at her again, but said to Steward Chen, "Take me to the field to have a look." "She came this time mainly to see the paddy fields and mountains and forests.
Steward Chen hurriedly responded: "The girl comes with the old slave." ”
Yuxi looked at Mother Shen and Hongshan, who were about to follow, and said, "The sun is too big, you guys stay here, and I'll be back soon." Yuxi only took Zijin out, and the other six family members also followed.
