Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 5

There is a lot of fun in the back room, but this is just the appearance.Yiyou lowered her head, and clearly saw Cheng's calculation, Siya's resentment, and the doubt on Changsheng's face.Even she herself, staying intimately by Cheng's side, is disgusting in herself.

Fortunately, looking at the sun, the clan should also start talking.Sure enough, not long after, the unique sound of assembly chants came from outside.Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly stayed away from the sick niece.

"It's getting late, let's all go to the front. Erya, go with the second aunt."

Such an intimate gesture is to stabilize her and make her willing to go to the county government to be a maidservant, hoping for the legendary rich and exquisite life.Before rebirth, she was confused and only enjoyed this intimacy.Now that she knew what happened later, she only felt that Cheng's every sentence was full of calculations.

"I have to help Second Aunt look after Changsheng, let Fourth Sister accompany you in front."

Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that Erya had kissed her since she was a child, and it is normal to think about her now.She is more confident about what comes next.

"Okay, Si Ya, come here."

Of course, Si Ya is very happy to be able to compare this second sister who doesn't like her.But fourth sister didn't want the opportunity to be by Mother's side, and this fact made her very unhappy.All along, my mother just said over and over for her own good, but in these years, in her eyes, Arya is more like her mother's own daughter than she is.

Is it really for her?She was puzzled and dissatisfied.

Yiyou led Changsheng to see all of this.The relationship between the mother and daughter is not as close as Cheng Rishi showed in the past.In this case, she has a way to reverse all this quietly.

Changsheng was led by his sister, and immediately couldn't find Bei happily.Seeing her younger brother happy, Yiyou's mood also improved, and the four of them walked slowly all the way to the main room.

The Shen family's clan meeting was very large, even if it wasn't very grand this time, the courtyard was already bustling with people.

On such occasions, daughters-in-law and daughters are excluded, and the only ones who can enter the main room to talk are the adult men of each family.Yiyou is naturally familiar with the rules, and stood still under the jujube tree in the corner, looking around for her mother.Seeing her chatting enthusiastically with the third aunt, she stopped paying attention.

"Changsheng, come and play together."

A few children ran over from a distance, all of them were as old as Changsheng, and they were the juniors of the uncle's family.Changsheng stayed beside his sister, unwilling to move.

"You go first."

Withdrawing her hand, what she needs most now is time alone with Si Ya.The hope of turning around her fate rests entirely on Cheng's own daughter.

"That sister is waiting for me here, and she wants to play with me at night."

Yiyou nodded invisibly, and pushed Changsheng lightly.The other little guys rushed forward and pulled him over.Half-year-old children are at the age when they love to play, and it didn't take long for Changsheng to become one with them.

"The ears are finally clean, Siya, let's sit down and talk."

The two sat side by side on the millstone under the jujube tree, which was at the foot of the gable of the main house. Although the noise in the courtyard could be heard, most people would not come here.

Yiyou looked at Siya who was still angry beside her, and felt amused in her heart, but she was just a half-grown child.Cheng's treatment of her own daughter is really good, and it's because of this that she is spoiled.Fortunately, her mind is simple, if she faces Cheng, she will be hopeless.

Looking up at the sky, she said enviously: "The handkerchief just now was really pretty. I don't know what the wives of the rich family wear, do they look better than the second aunt? Siya, you have been to the city with Chunsheng, you must have seen it. Come on, tell me?"

In previous memories, her appearance that has never seen the world can best express Si Ya's sense of superiority infinitely.Once she's happy, everything is easy.

"Sister Erya, you really haven't seen it, but I went to the city with my parents and saw it. The silk dress of Mrs. Xian's wife is embroidered with patterns that are more beautiful than peonies on the handkerchief. Wearing it on her body is really like a fairy. It seems."

Yiyou's face was even more regretful: "Just thinking about it, I know how beautiful it is, but unfortunately I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it in my life."

Siya rolled her eyes: "As long as you enter the mansion to be a maid, maybe the master will reward you if he is happy."

Here comes the topic, this family is really working together to plot against her.Dressed up like this, she didn't forget to see every stitch.If she was the one who wanted to be strong in the past, she would have climbed up the pole long ago, pestering Si Ya to beg Cheng Shi to let her be a maid.

Touching her face, she felt infinitely lonely: "It would be great if I could go, but it's a pity that I am like this now, people will definitely look down on me."

It's okay not to talk about your face, but Siya is happier when you talk about it.This second sister has been beautiful since she was a child. Even though grandma hates the fourth uncle's family, the other brothers and younger brothers in the family treat her very well, which makes her very upset.Obviously she is the patriarch's daughter, the most honorable daughter in this life, why is she being compared to by her elder sister everywhere.

But I didn't expect Erya to turn into this ugly appearance after a disease. Although her eyebrows and eyes have not changed, her sallow skin looks like a poor ghost who suffers from great hatred.

"Second Sister put on more powder to cover it up."

Taking the bait, Yiyou even put on a bitter face: "I'm just a box of powder from Tu Yuning Pavilion for a tael of silver now, and I'm afraid I'm not as beautiful as my fourth sister. This illness came at a really bad time, or I beg Second Aunt, I will definitely be able to work as a maid in the backyard of the county government office. Hey, I don’t know who in our family is so lucky.”

When she said the last sentence, she stared at Siya regretfully, with envy in her eyes, and a trace of obvious jealousy.

"Those silk clothes, my father and mother planted them for a year, and they couldn't afford one. There are so many villages around us, and I haven't heard of anyone with such beautiful clothes. The daughters in the village can't compare to She is a servant girl, not to mention the aunt and wife above. Siya, you must look good if you dress up a little, but it is a pity that you will suffer the same fate as your sister."

The schadenfreude in Yiyou's eyes aroused Siya, what does it mean to have a bad life like her, why can't she wear it.That's right, even if you go there to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, why doesn't your mother leave this opportunity to her.

No wonder what Niang said was vague last night, it turned out to be because of this.She has always been partial to the second sister, and she must be like this now!

In just a split second, Si Ya became firm in her mind.

"Whoever said I can't go, there must be something talking about it now. I'll go in and say it now, and it will definitely happen."

Yiyou stood up, looked at Siya suspiciously, and brushed off her bangs.The facial features of the four girls are among the top among the girls of the Shen family, but her forehead is too big, and her eyes are even smaller when it is exposed.Now the bangs are drooping, just covering the big forehead, making her a little more charming as a daughter.

"Get out of the way, I'm going right now."

Siya ran away, and Yiyou followed her slowly.After the two left, a person walked out from the gable, dressed in a navy blue yam uniform, looking at the slender figure in front of him, his hands clenched a little more.

Behind him walked out a man wearing a long gown with books. He walked up to him and said with a smile: "Mu Ran, look at the little girl now, she is really interesting."

"Well, let's go, we have to go back and report back early."

The scholar shook his head, this person is really boring.But his handsome kung fu is really convincing.

In the main room of the Shen family's ancestral house, the atmosphere was very dignified.

"My dear fellows, the imperial court has stabilized in the past few years, and our Shen family's school should be reopened. Fourth brother, as a member of the Shen family, we should help each other in the same boat."

Shen Fuhai spoke the truth in a serious manner, and Shen Fuxiang's face turned red.Why doesn't he know that every family has to pay for any clan affairs.But when he first got married, his mother gave him almost nothing. All these years, he worked for nothing, and only saved a house and two acres of Susukida.Fortunately, his wife manages the family well and can barely get by.

"Second brother, brother, I'm really in short supply."

The first old man said: "Our peasant family spends their money separately, which one is particularly rich. Fuxiang, Fuhai is right, you should do your best when you should, and you can't be ruined just because you are alone. established the rules."

Shen Fuxiang's head almost shrunk to his neck, and the last little money in the family was spent on Si Ya's medicine.Now there seems to be no other way but to sell the land.But the land is sold, what will their family eat for the winter.

"Fourth brother, the county magistrate's mansion is looking for a maid who looks like Zhou Zheng and has a clever mind. Not to mention eating and living, there is still a monthly rule of a few taels of silver every year. I think that among the girls of our Shen family, only Siya is suitable, and she is among them." After staying for two years, you can marry a respectable family when you come out..."

"It doesn't work..."

"Father, no."

A unanimous voice sounded, and Shen Fuxiang choked up his words. He raised his head together with the whole room, and looked at the figure at the door.

"Sister Erya is still sick. If you go to the county grandpa's house to do something, what will you do if you make the nobleman sick? Dad, let me go."

Everyone in the room was stunned, and the most stunned was the patriarch Shen Fuhai.He never expected that his own daughter would tear him down when things came to an end.Seeing the cooked duck slowly fly away, he wished he could sew his daughter's mouth shut.

Yiyou walked to the door, just in time to hear this wonderful confession.She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, applauding Si Ya silently.In her previous life, this younger sister had a little impulsive temper, but she was arrogant and indulgent back then, and she was always firmly suppressed.

Now, once I relax, I didn't expect such an unexpected effect.Sipping the powder on her face with her index finger, it was time for her to appear.She raised her feet and walked forward, looking at her worried father, she stood side by side with Erya.

At this moment, her figure has not yet fully grown, and her complexion is not good after recovering from a serious illness. With her careful dressing up, she looks listless, which makes the faces of the four girls next to her look like peaches and plums.

"Cough, cough, Second Uncle, I can do it. Go talk to the county master and let me serve in the mansion."

These words instead aroused Siya's competitive spirit, avoiding her parents who kept winking at her, she knelt down: "Uncles and uncles, I am willing to go."

It was so cooperative, Yiyou turned her head, and seeing the thunderbolts on the faces of the second uncle and his wife, she suddenly felt that today's weather was particularly sunny.Hold your sleeves tightly, as long as you avoid the first step and don't be a maid, her future path will be much smoother.Now is the last moment, she must be careful and careful.

"Fuhai, I think Si Ya is also quite suitable. She was taught by you yourself, so she must not be far behind."

Yiyou stood there trembling, showing a sallow face, but there was a lot of ridicule in her heart.There is never a single rope in the clan, and everyone wants to get as much benefit as possible.For these people, it doesn't make much difference whether Siya or she goes to serve in the county grandpa's mansion.

Standing at the door, Mrs. Cheng glared at her daughter, and said as calmly as possible: "We have to listen to the children's wishes, and we can't just cling to Siya because I gave birth to her. Erya, Do you want to go?"

Come on, there was such a period in the previous life, there was no Si Ya making trouble at that time, but the always dull father tried his best to oppose it.Things were at an impasse, and Cheng also came out to ask this question.At that time, she was only thinking of beautiful satin clothes and handkerchiefs, so naturally she rushed to go.

But let's do it again, since she entered the door in the morning and installed it now, she has successfully created the current situation, so naturally there is no reason to destroy it with her own hands.

Raising her head, she scanned the room, and under Cheng's expectant gaze, she firmly replied, "I don't want to go."
