Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 7
Mama Wang brought Mama Liu, who was in charge of the warehouse, and a few daughter-in-laws to show Huilan a few boxes that didn't look like street stalls.

How could she understand it, but she still pretended to look at the Four Treasures of the Study, scrolls, calligraphy and paintings.As long as she has gained insight, she will not believe that she will be a coward for the rest of her life.

As expected, Mama Wang came from the family of civil servants. It is said that Mama Huilan is also a talented woman who can write poems and paint.The landscape map drawn by so-and-so, with a seal and a signature, is the old man's favorite famous artist.And who and so and so wrote the words, vigorous and powerful, with a strong character...

Whelan pretended to listen while nodding, but in fact she was writing in her heart, jotting it down so that she could use it later.

The last thing is to give the old man a painting, each of the two uncles has a pair of characters, and each of the three cousins ​​has a famous Duan inkstone.Whelan sighed, fortunately, Dad is a literate man, otherwise how could he find these suitable things so quickly.It seems that the family really has a family background, and the so-called literati are all made of money.There are no expensive clothes and crowns, decent tailoring techniques, famous folding fans, expensive jade pendants, generous rewards, sensible followers, and boldness to spend a lot of money. What kind of literati are you pretending to be.Alas, I can easily find these from the warehouse, not to mention the warehouse, but the few boxes of calligraphy, painting, writing, pen, ink, paper and inkstone that her father gave her are probably more valuable, Whelan thought happily.The two cousins ​​prepared a piece of jade pendant for each of them. Huilan also didn't understand jade, but seeing the jade pendant was smooth and delicate, it seemed to be a good thing.

As for the two aunts, Ms. Wang was a little embarrassed. "The girl is now giving gifts on behalf of the Li family, and you can give anything. It's just that the two uncles and wives are elders, and the girl is a junior after all. It might be disrespectful to choose jewelry casually."

Whelan immediately understood that her grandfather, uncle, cousin, and cousin were relatives, so she could give anything as a gift, not to mention that the prepared ones were not cheap.The aunt has no blood relationship, but is the head of the grandfather's family, and they will mostly deal with her in the future.Just think about Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai. Mrs. Wang is obviously better for Baochai because she is related by blood.Living in this ancient deep house compound, the head of the house is the person who can most determine the quality of your life.In this way, it is even more troublesome to prepare gifts, not only expressing gratitude, but also expressing respect and closeness.

Whelan arched her index finger and rubbed her chin, then turned her eyes to the Nuan Pavilion.I snapped my fingers in my heart, isn't that all there is? "What are the silks and satins rewarded by His Majesty yesterday?"

Madam Wang's eyes lit up, and she knew the elegant meaning of the strings, "There are 4 pieces of Kesi, 4 pieces of Shu brocade, 4 pieces of feather yarn, 4 pieces of cocoon silk, 4 pieces of gauze, and 4 pieces of weaving silk."

Whelan nodded. Although she didn't understand the value of these silks and satins, the sequence she heard from Mama Wang was the bottom line. "What are the colors?"

A hint of distress flashed across Wang Mama's face, "Kesi and gauze are both plain, and I think His Majesty cares about girls. Except for the patterned patterns and bright colors of Shu brocade and cocoon silk, the rest are pure colors suitable for young girls." what to wear."

Plain color is suitable for her to wear as a filial piety. It seems that His Majesty is quite considerate.The two aunts are not too old, and they can wear plain colors, and they are also keeping filial piety there.But brightly colored ones are not impossible to wear when they are out of filial piety.Whelan pondered for a long time, then decided: "Just give each of the two aunts a piece of Kesi and a piece of gauze, which are always gifts from the imperial court. It would seem disrespectful for me to send them all in." As for the brightly colored and Let’s save the solid color ones for the Zhen Guogong’s mansion, after all, it’s a gift from the imperial court, so it’s a good deal.

Mama Wang agreed, and brought two maids into the Nuan Pavilion to open the box and get things.Whelan let go of one worry, and felt much more relaxed.These things don't take up too much space, so they were wrapped and signed, and put in a rosewood box and put them in the Whelan house for the time being, waiting to be delivered the next day.

Huilan asked Mama Wang to clean up and inspect her uncle's carriage like a grown-up, and prepared some things and snacks for the road.Ms. Wang responded one by one, and Kua Huilan grew up to be considerate and sensible, and she checked and filled in some gaps.The two discussed it for a long time and were very satisfied.

Seeing dusk, Huilan asked Mama Wang to go back for dinner.And asked her to bring a message to the housekeepers and mothers. Next, besides being busy with the things at hand, she took the time to divide the things to be placed in the house into four stalls. Each of them will manage one stall, and write a charter first. make a list.After the uncle is sent away, we will sum up the regulations together, and then act according to the regulations.As for how to allocate, let them discuss it themselves.Mama Wang was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and hurriedly agreed, and hurried back to find a few partners.

Whelan has never been a manager, but he has never eaten pork and seen walking.This is planning in advance, summarizing afterwards, and then holding a commendation meeting, rewarding meritorious deeds and making persistent efforts. Isn't this a fixed process for doing things?These few are all capable people, and she has to be stunned, even if it is an empty shelf, it can still bluff people.It's not to show off who you want to suppress, but a tree can only be healthy if its trunk and branches grow at the same time.She didn't want the branches to be so thick and the trunk too starved that the tree would fall.Even if her trunk is a useless paulownia tree trunk, even if it is strong on the outside and dry on the inside, it still has to support the shelf.The first thing to do is to ensure that the tree is alive before you can do anything else. She is also going to die.

Qingguo and Liuya have already returned, seeing Liuya and Qingguo smiling, they want to have a good chat.While wearing out clothes, Whelan asked Qing Guo to go to her uncle and said that she was going to have dinner together.Then let Liu Ye go to the kitchen and say, don't let people run for nothing and don't waste things.The two went as ordered, and Huilan took Liu Ya to the mourning hall to burn incense and burn paper to kowtow and drink.Respectful, serious, without any perfunctory.

She clasped her hands and closed her eyes and prayed, "Master Li, father, you can go at ease, now you should know my origin, but I have a clear conscience. I will live a good life on behalf of your Huilan, healthy and smooth, safe and happy. As for Li family, I will do my best, as for the future, I can't guarantee, everything depends on God's will."

After praying and praying three more times, Whelan got up.Seeing the flickering incense sticks, he left the mourning hall with a slight smile.

The three maids were all waiting outside. When they saw her come out, they put on their hoods and surrounded her to eat at Uncle's.Uncle and aunt received her very happily, and parting was imminent, and seeing her was less than once.How could they be unhappy that Whelan was so close to them.

Without talking about food, they had a full meal quietly, and the three of them sat and drank tea and talked.The two adults get black tea, and she gets fruit tea, she likes the sweetness.

Uncle told them about their plan, to visit some old teachers and old friends in the next two days, and set off the day after tomorrow.Whelan said that she received it, and the time to give gifts and make snacks has been confirmed.He also asked my uncle not to be polite to her, and if there are incomplete gifts during a courtesy visit, you can tell her that it is better for her to make up for it than to go out to buy it in a hurry.Uncle resolutely refused, saying that it was prepared when he came, so she didn't have to worry about it.

The uncle and nephew said some homely things again, and Whelan was sent back to sleep.
