Fair Lady

Shuyao thought for a long time, and every time she felt that the answer was about to come out suddenly, she got stuck again.how so?Mingming felt more and more clearly that he had indeed heard or seen those words, but he couldn't remember them.

Gradually, Shuyao became a little irritable, and decided to put this question aside for the time being.For some reason, the more she thought about it, the more unpleasant she felt those words.

After drinking half a cup of jujube tea warmed on the small charcoal stove, Shuyao picked up the needle and thread again and concentrated on embroidering the belt.

Embroidered until a quarter past noon, when Zijin came in and said it was time to have lunch, Shuyao put down her needlework and took Mother Liu and the four maidservants to the old lady's yard.

Nangong Miao was looking at the fabrics with Mrs. Jin, when she saw Shuyao coming in, she greeted happily: "Yaoer, the New Year's gift from aunt and uncle has arrived, we are looking at the fabrics, aunt's gift list said these few pieces of cloth are The latest designs and colors that my uncle snapped up from Yunyuefang are suitable for making jackets and skirts for grandma."

Mrs. Jin had a happy smile on her face: "Ruoyun is a caring child. He always thinks about me as an old woman. I am getting old. Why do I need so many clothes? But the suits Ruoyun picked are really pretty. "

Shuyao looked at the several dark red, brown, cyan, and light golden fabrics in front of the old lady, all of which were dark flowers. Although the colors were simple, they were generous and noble, and they were indeed very suitable for the elderly lady.He smiled and said, "How old is grandma? You wear clothes made of these few horses, and next time you go to a banquet, people who don't know you will definitely think you are my sister-in-law and my aunt and aunt.

Nangong Miao clapped her hands in response and said, "Isn't that so? Last time, the wives told me that grandma is getting younger. They are embarrassed to stand close to grandma, for fear that they will be found to be younger than our grandma. Bigger."

Mrs. Jin spat: "These two little monkeys are getting more and more naughty, even grandma dares to make fun of them." The joy on the face and the interest in the voice made people feel no annoyance of "being made fun of".

Shu Yao hurriedly said: "We are not joking, we are proud of it. Grandma, if you don't believe me, look at it, Yao'er asked someone to take this dark red horse, um, plus this golden chrysanthemum pattern cloth, and cut it for grandma. Ruyi skirt. You wear it to attend those banquets during the first month. It is guaranteed to shock everyone."

"Go," Mrs. Jin said cheerfully, "I'm already an old woman, why should I be shocked? I'm not an old goblin."

……

The grandparents and grandchildren joked and asked the maids and women to pack up their things and prepare for dinner.In general.At noon, only the three of them, Liu Mama and Nangong Yuzhen had lunch together.Unless you meet the master and one of the three, Muxiu.

The maids were serving the dishes, while Shuyao told the story of the six pearls to the old lady and Nan Gongmiao.Of course, I didn't say anything about "stupid crying".

The old lady and the others kept feeling sorry for the Liang family, especially the old lady Liang.He lost his wife, son, and daughter-in-law overnight, leaving only a young grandson to depend on each other.Now even sold into slavery.It is really sad for the listener and tears for the hearer.But it's okay.Ning Shizi is a good master, and he has the feeling of giving beads, so he will not treat their grandparents and grandchildren badly.

"By the way, Yao'er," Nangong Miao suddenly thought of something, "Is sister Nian'er coming over soon? Didn't you say last time that she also likes yogurt lumps? It just so happens that my father asked the caravan to bring them back for better. Pack a bag for her, remember to ask her to take it back."

"Okay." Shuyao happily agreed.This sister-in-law is the same as her elder brother, and she is very attached to books and literature.He pays close attention to everything about them, including friends, and truly "elder brother is like father, elder sister-in-law is like mother".

At the end of the day, Xu Nian'er arrived, wearing a green long jacket with yellow flowers embroidered on the skirt and skirt, and a white sable fur cape. Although he was not as tall and slender as Shuyao, he was The other is the taste of a smaller and exquisite southern woman.

When Nian'er gave birth, Mrs. Xu specially picked two mothers to send over, one was good at taking care of the confinement child, and the other was good at taking care of the newborn child.

So Nian'er's confinement son sat well, and the child didn't bother her, and both mother and child were raised "happily".Of course, the standards are different.The little baby is chubby and pleasing, but Nian'er is plump and slender, her figure has recovered successfully, and her skin has even gotten better.

In addition, Nian'er has a generous heart, loves her husband very much, and doesn't care about the seriously partial mother-in-law and the brain-dead sister-in-law who thinks she is right. The more she lives, the more nourished she becomes, and the more beautiful she becomes.

Of course, what no one knows is that when Shuyao went to visit Nian'er twice, the medicinal herbs and food materials that Shuyao brought her were all spiritual and effective...the amount was not much, just enough for Nianer's confinement. .

Nian'er learned that these ingredients and medicinal materials were all fumigated or soaked by Shuyao with Wu Zhenzi's secret recipe, and she cherished this thought very much.Even though her mother-in-law hinted in various ways, she didn't share some out. At most, she asked Mama Zhang to go outside and buy the same ones for her sister-in-law.

She knew that her mother-in-law's unreasonable request was because she was stingy and felt that the things in the two marquis' mansions were all good, so she wanted to use some of it for her own daughter, or keep it as a dowry in the future; I want Chen Yueying to enjoy some of Shuyao's blessings.It is impossible for the mother-in-law to know the "excellence" of these medicinal materials.

Seeing her daughter-in-law getting older and receding, looking more agile and girly than Chen Yueying, Mrs. Chen didn't know whether to be proud or depressed.When the daughter-in-law was pregnant, she obviously had a lot of freckles, and her waist was also a lot thicker. Why did Xia Shuyao come here twice and use some good herbs and ingredients she gave her, so she changed her appearance?And I cheekily gave some to my daughter-in-law to use for my daughter, hoping to make her daughter feel good too, but it didn't work at all?It seems that my daughter and Xia Shuyao really have no fate.

Mother Liu was well informed and asked, "I heard that Miss Chen San is engaged to the Eighth Master of the Ma Mansion?"

Nian'er sighed, nodded, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, after all, she is now the young wife of the Chen family,

Shuyao was taken aback, the Eighth Master of the Ma Mansion, although he is the eldest son of Concubine Ma and the youngest brother of Concubine Ma, but he is 25 this year, and he has married a wife.Chen Yueying, a prostitute of a noble and scholarly family, actually married a person ten years older than herself as a sequel?How could Uncle Chen agree?

Just when he was about to ask, seeing the disdain on Liu's mother's face and Nian'er's embarrassment, he understood a little, there must have been something like a private relationship.

Shuyao sighed secretly, and changed the topic calmly, she didn't care about Chen Yueying's affairs, why bother to make Nian'er look bad for nothing?

Shuyao smiled and said, "Sister Nian'er, I heard that Uncle Xu made great contributions to the prevention and control of floods in the south last time, and was promoted to the second rank. Congratulations."

Nian'er really changed her mind and resolved her embarrassment: "Yes, my grandmother will take my younger brother back to Yulin to worship the ancestors after the next year. It was ten years ago that my father was promoted to two consecutive levels. The second time was because of catching the Japanese who sneaked into the Central Plains to cause discord. At that time..."

Suddenly, Shuyao's head seemed to be knocked out of chaos by something, yes, Japanese people, silly crying, cherry blossoms...she remembered!Diary, what was mentioned in Mother's diary...

As soon as Nian'er left, Shuyao couldn't wait to go back to the bedroom, took out her mother's diary, and indeed saw those words on a piece of paper.

The original words are: Little Japan has also come to Dazhou, it is really his sister!Why are there shadows of these Japanese pirates on any continent?Shit, still pretending, what Southwestern businessman?My aunt, I knew it was a Japanese pirate when I saw the cherry blossoms embroidered on the skirt of his mother-in-law.Are you crying silly?Cherry blossoms?The name of this national flower is really like the nature of little Japan. Since ancient times, little Japan is the most stupid, crying and howling, pretending to be crazy, taking advantage of you when you are not paying attention, and wishing to destroy the human race.

Shuyao's heart sank, if that big hair really looked at the flowers on the handkerchief and cried "stupid crying", is it because he misses the cherry blossoms in their hometown?That big haired grandfather and grandson are not Northeast businessmen at all, but Japanese?The Japanese deliberately came to Qi Haoning's side, why?

No, she wants to talk to her elder brother about it.But what should I say?

Mother's diary has traces of rebirth, and she tore it out and put it away, including this page scolding the little Japan, er, that is, Japanese pirates. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
