Pearl took her sister into the old lady's living room, and took her sister to salute the old lady, the old lady Chen looked very energetic, saw Pearl coming, took Pearl's hand, very affectionate. The old lady also blamed Pearl for not bringing the child over. After that, the old lady looked at the three girls behind the pearl and said,

"This girl is really handsome, is it your sister?" The old lady asked with a smile,

Pearl hurriedly asked Sanniu to come forward to greet the old lady, and the old lady deliberately pulled Sanniu over to see, and then said, "Look at the girl, so smart, this little hand is so soft, it is a great blessing." ”

Pearl smiled and said, "Then I will accept your good words." My father and mother love this girl the most, and they don't ask for anything else, as long as they find someone who is sensible and polite, and the man has a good character! ”

The old lady smiled, looked at the three girls and nodded, at this time, a little girl came in to pass the word,

"Old lady, the third master has come to see you."

"The third master is back? The old lady was happy this time. Then I'll take my sister back first, and I'll come back to see you another day. "Pearl is not good to take her sister to see the foreign man, so she got up and said goodbye.

The old lady was reluctant to take her hand and said, "Okay, then you have to come often!" ”

"Okay, don't worry."

When the two sisters came out, they saw someone standing in the corridor not far away, and Pearl quickly led her sister away. This time, I brought Sanniu here, on the one hand, I wanted her to learn how to treat people and receive guests, and secondly, I also wanted to help Sanniu find a good family through the old lady.

On the way back, Pearl remembered the third master, who was also a down-to-earth and hard-working, tall and burly, and able to stay in the frontier for ten years, which shows his willpower, and he saw the third master a few times when he was a child, but he only remembered that he was a very silent person, with an unusually tall body, and he did not smile. I have also heard some things in the past few years, and he has developed well in the frontier. It's a pity that he only took two concubines at the border pass, and there were two concubines, a concubine, and the third lady of the family gave birth to a son. Two daughters. The third old man, Hou Daoliang, is now a general from Sanpin, and he is not bad, of course, Yongchang Houhou Daozhong in the household department is half a level higher than his younger brother, and he has not lost face. Believe that there is no relationship with pearls. He certainly doesn't have where he is today. It was the gifts and fresh grain planting sent by the pearls that made Hou Daozhong where he is today.

On this morning, a guest came to the house, and the person who came was Wang Liu, a colleague of Mingqian and the wife of Wang Rui, who was also a fellow scholar, and his youngest daughter Sister Zhao was also with him. Wang Rui's family background is average, and now it's just a passing day. There are dozens of acres of land at home, and now they are living in the capital and providing for their families, which is a bit difficult.

Because of the relationship between Ming and Qian. Wang Liu, whom Pearl knows, knows that Pearl's embroidery work is good, and he is literate, and he does things neatly and neatly, and he admires them very much, and the two of them live very close, so Wang Liu often holds Sister Zhao over, at this time, Pearl can only take his son out and talk to her. When the child is asleep, teach her a few more embroidery skills. Wang Rui is a very upright and upright person, and Pearl is also happy to see her husband associate with such friends, and Wang Rui has dinner at their house again. So Wang Rui got to know Pearl and praised Pearl a lot, but when he heard that Pearl was born as a maid in the Marquis of Yongchang, he calmed down. However, I still appreciate the cooking and embroidery skills of pearls, and I still appreciate them very much. Of course, the beauty and bearing of pearls are also one of the reasons for convincing. It is precisely because of this that he let his wife come over to associate with Pearl, and let his wife in the countryside also grow up.

In fact, such a long meeting has made the pearl a little inconvenient and time-consuming. On this day, the three girls came over and asked about pearl embroidery. When Wang Liu saw Sanniu, he said happily,

"It's so beautiful, if you don't say it, who can know that it's a girl from the countryside?"

These words made the two sisters a little embarrassed, but this is also true, but it was a little abrupt, Pearl smiled and said to Wang Liu, "My sister is not young, come to me, I want to teach her to read in the morning, teach her to embroider in the afternoon, I am afraid that I will not have much time to talk to my sister-in-law in the future." ”

Wang Liu said with a smile, "It's okay, I want to ask about embroidery, and it's the same in the afternoon." ”

"If that's the case, it's okay to hand over Sister Zhao to my nurse, and then the three of us can embroider quietly." Pearl said with a smile,

Wang Liu has a long face, big eyes, but the nose is not straight enough, the skin is not white enough, and the forehead is not wide enough, and he will be blessed in the future. To put it more clearly, she still couldn't hear Pearl's displeasure and rejection. When she heard that she was going to hand over Sister Zhao to the nurse to watch, she was not happy, not for anything else, she felt that she was not a good mother if she handed over the child to the nurse, and the family was not very particular about it, so she was not a good mother. It must be a vice brought out of the mansion door. So I refused.

When he went home at night, Wang Liu told Wang Rui about this matter, Wang Rui listened, frowned, and asked in detail, only then did he feel a feeling of powerlessness, he couldn't even hear that people were unhappy, and he didn't even hear the words of resignation, this daughter-in-law would not be held back in the officialdom in the future, it would be good, and he also said that people were not qualified to be mothers.

"You idiot, people are telling you that you have been going for too long and delaying other people's serious business."

Wang Liu was very aggrieved and said, "Didn't you let me often come to her house to sit when I was fine?" Besides, I learned new patterns from her, and I learned a few new embroidery methods, and I sold two pennies more than in the past! ”

Wang Rui said angrily, "I let you go, you are free, but haven't you heard that people are not free?" Teach your sister to read in the morning and embroidery in the afternoon, you sit from morning to afternoon, don't you delay others? "In the words of the old mother at home, the butt is too heavy.

Wang Liu's eyes lit up and said, "Don't you dislike me for not usually reading?" Then can't I just learn from their three girls this time? ”

But if you recognize a few words, what can you learn from others? The angry Wang Rui's voice also became louder.

"You're a ...... Forget it, don't bother people. There are only two people in our family, if the girl in the family is free, you let her watch the child, and then go to someone to ask about embroidery, and don't bother others more. ”

"Oh, I see. I think the conditions of their family are better and better, and the family is well dressed. ”

"Don't care about other people, just do your own thing, I heard Mingqian say that their family is also the wife embroiders and sells money for him and his younger brother to study. However, the difference with you is that people are not like you who earn a few pennies. The embroidery of the people is all the things used by the big families, and the large embroidery pictures sold cost thousands of taels of silver. ”

Wang Liu's family knows the gap, and after thinking about what people eat and wear, they are envious in their hearts, but unfortunately their man is a jinshi, and he is very noble, so he just hopes to earn more money and buy some fields. This house is rented, and the place where flowers were originally planted is now planted by Wang Liu's family. There are more than a dozen chickens at home, and I originally wanted to raise pigs, but because the taste is too big, I am afraid that people will dislike it, so forget it.

After Wang Liu didn't come for a few days, Pearl felt relieved, and began to continue teaching the apprentice and the three girls, and then took his sons to play. After waiting for a few days, Liu He finally had a holiday, which made Pearl and Sanniu very happy.

Liu He is a carnivore, Pearl prepared enough pork, chickens and beef in advance, and when Liu He came back, he asked people to buy ice and bring the wine back, and then when Mingqian came back, the family began to eat a hot pot.

Seeing that Liu He had grown taller, Pearl hurriedly discussed with Sanniu what clothes to make for Liu He. Liu He was very happy to see Pearl and Sanniu. The mouth is not idle, either talking or eating.

"What does General Yue do to you?" This is what pearls are most concerned about.

"I'm now the master's most proud disciple, don't worry, eldest sister, besides, the sword that the eldest sister helped me give, but it is very rare for the master, and there is the Mo knife, I said some research on the Mo knife, and the master values me more."

"That's good. Stay at home for a few more days! "Pearl knows that General Yue must be very strict, otherwise it would have been so long since he sent news to the Yue family, and General Yue would release him.

Liu He swallowed the beef in his mouth and said, "The master said, there is no good wine and filial piety, let me go back today!" ”

Sister Pearl laughed when she heard this, and Pearl said to Liu He, "Don't worry, the eldest sister has already prepared it for you." (To be continued.) )
