The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 149 Loom into the New Year

"Yuechan, come with me."

After Huo Sicheng left, Meng Haoyu took Yuechan's hand into the back room and put the curtain back. Meng Haoyu looked at Yuechan seriously.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

For some reason, Yuechan felt a little guilty, lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her tone became a little weak.

Seeing Yuechan's little daughter's delicate appearance, Meng Haoyu felt much better. He couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "You girl, you have always been fearless, and you dare to talk about conditions in front of the emperor. Now what..."

Yuechan lowered her head and smiled, thinking that the most she could negotiate with the emperor would be to lose her life, but if she made her brother angry, what she would lose would be the rare family affection that can only be gained after another lifetime. If she lost her brother's love, it would be worse than death Even scarier.

Meng Haoyu didn't bother with Yuechan anymore, he pulled her to sit aside, and said solemnly: "I see, you seem to have moved your mind on Huo Sicheng."

Yuechan was stunned, and suddenly raised her head to look at Haoyu.

After a long while, Yuechanfang nodded: "What brother said is very true, I, I think he is very good."

In a word, Meng Haoyu secretly sighed in his heart, sure enough his daughter can't help herself when she grows up.

"That's it!" Stretching out his hand to rub his forehead, Meng Haoyu really couldn't understand that his always shrewd younger sister would also miscalculate one day: "Have you figured it out? You are the concubine of the Duke's Mansion. He was just kicked out of the house and has no family to rely on." You bastard, now you’re just a Juren, with no wealth or power, and nothing that can guarantee your life.”

What Meng Haoyu said is the truth. Although the Meng family is not talented, it is a family with a solid background. As a daughter-in-law, Yuechan's life has always been guaranteed. Although the cost of food and clothing is not the best in Chang'an City, it is still good. Yes, if they really get married with Huo Sicheng in the future, it will be a big problem in terms of money.

Yuechan bowed her head: "I've thought about what my brother said. He is a talented person, and he is a good person. Although he has left the family, it is not a bad thing. In the future, there will be no family members to control him, and he will have no parents. If relatives and friends are waiting for you, life will be easier."

This is true!
Meng Haoyu couldn't help but nodded, Yuechan's thoughts were a bit interesting, everything has two sides, Huo Sicheng's lack of family support is his shortcoming, but thinking about it again, no family means that there is no one to control, if Yuechan really marries After getting this person, they will only live a small life together in the future, and they don't need to worry about others, but they are comfortable.

It seems that Yuechan was frightened by the disputes in the back house of the big family, and only wanted to find someone with a simple family to marry. Meng Haoyu sighed, it was all the sins of his own family, and a good daughter's family was forced to become a woman. This look.

In this way, Yuechan's thoughts are understandable, it may not be because of how good Huo Sicheng is or how much Yuechan likes it, the key is that this person's wealth is so simple now.

After staring at Yuechan for a while, Meng Haoyu shook his head: "Since you've made up your mind, brother won't say anything, but we both have to make a careful calculation. In the end, the old lady shouldn't even get married to the Fu family. A Huo Sicheng, the old lady is even less likely..."

Yuechan smiled: "Isn't there going to be a scientific examination next spring? With his talent and learning, I'm afraid it won't be a problem for Chun Wei to win the top prize. Will not refuse."

With these words, Yuechan even thought of the way out.

Meng Haoyu became even more alarmed. It seemed that his younger sister could even calculate marriage matters now. Fortunately, he was her own brother and not her enemy. Otherwise, life would not be easy.

Even though Yuechan had thought about everything, Meng Haoyu didn't say anything more, Yuechan was not that ignorant boudoir lady, her knowledge was much deeper than her own, and on some things, just point to the end, Talking too much is not good for both of them.

Meng Haoyu got up, said goodbye with a smile, leaving only Yuechan standing in the room for a while, then smiled, turned around and went back to her own business.

For the next few days, Yuechan only stayed at Zhuangzi, either weaving some fabrics or watching Huo Sicheng make looms.

The more she got in touch with Huo Sicheng, the more Yuechan admired him. This person really has an exquisite heart, not to mention his talent, even his hands are so clever that even those peerless craftsmen can't match.

There are still a few looms left from those iron camphor woods. In his spare time, Huo Sicheng made many gadgets for Yuechan with leftover materials. What surprised Yuechan was that Huo Sicheng thought about her in his heart, and actually used that extremely hard wood to make a hidden weapon.

The hidden weapon looks like a small flute on the surface, but there is a hidden secret inside, as long as the switch on the back is pressed, countless silver needles as thin as a cow's hair will come out, making sure that the person who is shot is immediately limp and unable to move.

According to Huo Sicheng, this is for Yuechan's self-defense, lest she have no way to save her life when someone tries to trick her.

After Yuechan got the hidden weapon, she was very grateful in her heart, and in the spirit of reciprocating, she specially wove a piece of white brocade with dark patterns, and spent several days of cooking oil and wax at night to make a shirt for Huo Sicheng. It was made with a lot of thought, the clothes are so finely crafted that even the thrushes were amazed when they saw them.

Let's not talk about how happy Huo Sicheng was when he got the clothes, but on this day, Yuechan was about to make two sets of new clothes for Meng Zhiwen and Meng Haoyu, in case the two of them would change during the Spring Festival, when they heard footsteps outside , Immediately afterwards, Thrush came in with a happy face, and said loudly: "Miss, miss, Mr. Huo invites you to come over, he said that the loom is finished."

Such a big surprise, Yuechan didn't expect it for a while, she shook her hand, and the needle stuck into her finger, she frowned in pain, and made Huamei scream: "Miss..."

While speaking, she quickly took a clean handkerchief to help Yuechan hold down her fingers: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't so loud, how could Miss be hurt?"

Yuechan smiled, took off the veil, and looked at the blood on her white jade fingers: "It's okay, it's all because of my own carelessness. By the way, the loom is finished, let's go and have a look."

She stood up, supported Thrush's hand and went to the front hall.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw a loom that was exactly the same as the one in her room, and saw Huo Sicheng standing in the room wearing a blue cloth and smiling at her.

Yuechan smiled, walked over to caress the loom, with a look of love, she waved to Huamei: "Humei, bring some silk thread, and help me try this loom."

"Alas!" Huamei responded, and quickly searched for silk threads, and after installing the threads one by one, she sat in front of the loom, stepped on the pedal, and began to weave bit by bit with the shuttle in her hand.

After weaving for a while, Huamei stood up in surprise: "Miss, this, this loom is even easier to use than yours."

Yuechan was even more pleasantly surprised, she pushed away Thrush, sat in front of the loom and started weaving.

Huo Sicheng just didn't say anything, and looked at Yuechan with a smile on his face, with a warm smile on his face.

After a long time, Yuechan stopped weaving, stood up and walked in front of Huo Sicheng, bowed down and bowed to salute: "This is all thanks to the young master, Yuechan thanked you here first, if the young master is useful in the future To get Yuechan, Yuechan will go all out."

In front of Thrush, Yuechan couldn't speak intimate words, so she had to be a little more polite.

Huo Sicheng helped Yuechan: "You can do whatever you want, even if there is no problem with the loom, I will assemble it for you when I have time, and it will be considered a relief for you."

Even when the loom was finished, Yuechan let go of her heart, her heart was full of joy, she personally took the thrushes to the kitchen, prepared a table of sumptuous meals for Huo Sicheng, and sent someone to Meng's house to deliver a letter to Haoyu, Let him come and see the loom.

Not to mention how Meng Haoyu got here, how he praised the loom, and how he expressed his admiration for Huo Sicheng.

It only said that Huo Sicheng spent a few more days assembling the remaining few looms. After all the work was done, he had no reason to stay in the other village, so he reluctantly bid farewell to Yuechan and went back.

Meng Haoyu thought a lot from the past to the present, and saw that his sister did treat Huo Sicheng differently. He knew Yuechan's thoughts, so he paid attention to observing this person, and specially prepared a lot of heavy gifts, saying it was a thank you gift for Huo Sicheng. .

Huo Sicheng resigned firmly, seeing that Meng Haoyu insisted on giving it, he did not refuse any more. After receiving the gift, before leaving, when no one else noticed, he left a rare piece of beautiful jade, which made Meng Haoyu Impressed by him.

This person is indeed extraordinary, not as lofty and pedantic as ordinary scholars, and he would not think that Meng Haoyu's gift to him was an insult to him, but when he couldn't refuse, he happily accepted it, but he was not a greedy person. It's really kind of thoughtful and good-natured to keep enough beautiful jade that can be worth those generous gifts, but it won't refute Haoyu's face, and it won't take advantage of others.

From this, Meng Haoyu began to appreciate Huo Sicheng, but he began to agree with Yuechan's thoughts.

After the loom was finished, Yuechan wanted to weave cloth with Huamei and others. First weaved the cloth that the ladies in the palace wanted, and then weaved a piece of brocade for each of the Meng family, from the old lady to Yueting. come out.

It's a pity, at this time, she felt powerless.

Because the New Year's Eve was coming soon, the old lady asked people to invite her repeatedly, and Yuechan couldn't stay in Biezhuang anymore, so she had to pack up her things in a hurry and rushed back to Meng's house with her maid.

When Yuechan returned to Meng Mansion, it was already the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day would be Laba.

Because of the long days away from the mansion, Yuechan couldn't bear it, so she got up early the next day, went to the kitchen by herself, took glutinous rice and various dried fruits, and boiled a big pot of Laba porridge.

It was also pretended to be a portion, and Tete sent it to the masters in the mansion.

Apart from the old lady, Meng Zhiwen and Meng Haoyu, Liu Mei, mother and daughter were not left behind, as well as Aunt Liu, Xin Zhenzhu and Kao, and Yuechan were all sent away.

Apart from this, Yuechan also prepared another gift for everyone.

Yuechan also confessed to the servants of the Meng family that they had a reputation in the kitchen, and asked the cooks to cook all kinds of porridge, and carefully selected some auspicious gold, silver, and nudes, and sent a little girl to help them out. One of them was sent.

For a while, everyone in the mansion was full of praise for Yuechan, especially those servants who were used to stepping on the low and flattering the high, and they were all a little greedy for money. After getting the benefits of Yuechan, they naturally wanted to praise Yuechan a lot, and they all exaggerated Miss He is generous in his work and has a good temper. He always looks gentle to his servants and never beats, scolds or punishes him.

It is even more critical that Yue Ting is not good at being a human being, she often puts on people's faces, and beats and scolds her servants. Compared with the eldest lady, she is really far behind.

After hearing these words, Yuechan smiled and said nothing, anyway, these words are not harmful to her, so why should she be a bad person in vain.

On the other hand, Yue Ting was almost mad when she heard that, and she didn't know how many dishes and other things she dropped, so she was so angry that she almost went to the door to fight and scold Yue Chan again.
