Houmen's concubine

Chapter 44

Wang Tong'er led her into the house, and asked with a smile: "So, your parents gave you such a name, hoping to have a son, right?"

"Well, it's a pity that my mother still failed to give birth to a younger brother." Zhaodi said this, her little mouth was still uncomfortable, thinking that not only did her mother not give birth to a younger brother, she didn't even have a younger sister.

Grandma Chen also came to the shelter, and she stayed in the second room here when it rained for the past few days.

Therefore, Wang Tong'er led Zhaodi into the west room, where there is also a small canopy bed, which is just right for Zhaodi to live in.

"Zhaodi, take a look at what else you need inside, ask Granny Chen to help you find Manager Huang and get it." Wang Tonger was talking to Zhaodi, when she turned her head to look, there was no sign of Mother Chen?

From outside came the familiar "Papa Papa!" sound of slapping the quilt with rattan claps.

It turned out that the industrious Granny Chen took advantage of the sunny weather to hang Wang Tonger and her quilt in the sun!
Granny Chen came in with a rattan racket in her hand, and said to Wang Tong'er, "Miss Tong'er, if you have anything to do, just let Zhaodi do it."

"Oh, and, Zhaodi's embroidery work is pretty good, she used to work in the embroidery workshop in the mansion."

Granny Chen's meaning is obvious, let Zhaodi do what Wang Tonger needs to do, let Zhaodi embroider anything!

"How can I ask her to do something? Zhaodi, teach me how to embroider flowers!"

Wang Tong'er thought to herself, as a slave, how could she bully the younger with the big?
Besides, she is still a little kid, so I can't bear to use her to do things!

I just heard Granny Chen say that she can embroider, which is something I am interested in.

Anyway, I don't know how to do it. The original owner's needlework is okay, but the embroidery work is not satisfactory.

Granny Chen originally wanted to say: This trick was originally ordered by the son to serve you, but she swallowed it.

After all, Miss Tong'er is still a ignorant little girl, and the house has not yet been confiscated by the Shizi.

It can't be said, the little girl will be shy.

It's just that, seeing that Shizi cares so much about her, it will be a matter of time before he takes over the house.

Forget it, I'd better work hard on my own, and come to help Miss Tong'er wash clothes and bring hot water sooner or later!

······
In a blink of an eye, it is the Shangyuan Festival. Like the Spring Festival, the Shangyuan Festival not only holds lanterns, but also is a traditional Chinese Valentine's Day.

Most modern people think that the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day is Qixi Festival.

In fact, Qixi Festival is the annual gathering day of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which can be said to be a sad festival.

The ancients were most taboo about life and death. How could Valentine's Day be set on this day?
Therefore, the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day is Shangyuan Festival, which is the Lantern Festival instead of Qixi Festival.

The Shangyuan Festival is the first important festival after the Spring Festival. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night "Xiao", so the fifteenth day of the first full moon in a year is called the Lantern Festival.

Wang Tonger had already seen the grand spectacle of lanterns on the day of the Spring Festival. As a modern city dweller, what grand spectacle of lanterns had she not seen?So don't feel too surprised.

Besides, she didn't want to go to the lantern viewing during the Spring Festival. If the master wanted to go, the slaves would definitely follow.

However, when the sky darkened, Zhaodi, the new maidservant, was full of interest. Xiaopang shook Wang Tong'er's white and tender hand, pouted her small mouth, and said pitifully: "Sister Tong'er, Let's go, okay?"

Wang Tong'er really didn't want to go, and couldn't bear the little girl's expectant eyes.If we let her go alone, I'm afraid that something will happen to the little girl.

Because she knows that whenever there is a lively place, especially at night, there are often conscientious paihuazi hiding in the dark, waiting for children and little girls who are alone.

When Wang Tonger was in a dilemma, Granny Chen came over with a bucket of hot water to wash Wang Tonger's cough.

She heard Zhaodi's begging from outside the door, and when she came in, she gave Zhaodi a look and said to herself, this little girl is too ignorant, she doesn't even know why she came to Qingsongyuan?

You are taking care of Miss Tong'er, do you know that?
well!After all, you are young, not deeply involved in the world, and forget your own duty!

Zhao Di was shocked by Granny Chen's eyes, and she quickly let go of Wang Tong'er's hand without saying a word.

Seeing the pitiful look of the little girl, Wang Tong'er couldn't help but curled up the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, I'll just go with you."

She thought to herself, go early and return early today, at worst, don't guess lantern riddles or something, just buy some fun and delicious food with Zhaodi.

It's just that if I want to leave the mansion, I must tell Shi Ziye, I haven't seen Shi Ziye these days, and I don't know if he is here at the moment?

Seeing that Wang Tong'er agreed, Zhao Di was so happy that she wanted to jump up, and hurriedly slipped into Xici's room to bring her small purse, and she didn't know how many copper coins were in it.

"Hey!" Grandma Chen sighed angrily, and said with a smile: "Miss Tong'er, you can spoil her! The old woman will warm the pot and hot water for the girl, and wait for you to use it when you come back."

"Okay, please trouble Granny Chen."

"Cough! Miss Tong'er, don't be polite to the old lady."

When Granny Chen was about to leave, she pointed at Zhaodi helplessly with her fingers, causing Zhaodi to make a funny face and to please Granny Chen: "Grandma Chen is the best! How about some cake for you?"

Granny Chen was very weak, she tapped her forehead helplessly and said, "You, you! Take care of Miss Tong'er, come back early."

Zhao Di immediately jumped and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

Seeing Zhaodi's happy appearance, Wang Tong'er also pursed her lips and smiled.

well!What a carefree little girl...

This said, it seems that she is in her seventies and eighties, and she is just 15 years old, and she is still a flowery age!

These days there is sunshine during the day, and I don’t feel cold when I squat at home and have a carbon stove, but it’s still chilly at night.

Wang Tonger didn't wear earmuffs. She took out the scarf she knitted and wrapped her face and neck tightly, leaving only one head exposed, and then she wore a gray rabbit fur cape.

Zhaodi wore a thick veiled hat, only her two round eyes were exposed, and the rest was tightly covered.

Wang Tong'er originally had a veiled hat, but when she was reborn, she was too small to wear it.

Besides, she doesn't like to wear that kind of valance hat. The reason is of course that there are two pulls on her head, and the hat is really uncomfortable to wear on her head.

And when she goes out, it's not because the top of her head is afraid of the cold, but because her cheeks and neck are afraid of the cold.

In Wang Tonger's purse, there are copper coins that her brother gave to buy cotton thread last time, and there are still thirty or forty copper coins left. The other two silver coins were given to Granny Chen and another one. It should be enough to spend on the lanterns tonight.

When we arrived at the entrance of Xie Yuheng's main courtyard, except for the two bright red lanterns hanging under the eaves, the bedroom and study room were all dark.

This shows that Shi Ziye has not come back today.

The son is not here, so go tell Huang Yu!

　In ancient times, it was rare to have fun places to go, especially those who were servants in the master's house, and they couldn't go out of the house to watch the fun.
