Beautiful step by step

Chapter 88

If Wei Wei didn't like Yan Heng, she definitely wouldn't marry him.

She cherishes this hard-won relationship between the two lifetimes.Although she still doesn't hate Yan Heng yet, there are faint signs of boredom in her heart.When facing Wei's mother, she couldn't help but speak out.

Then according to Mother Wei's suggestion, she kept herself busy first.The account books of the imperial court's appropriation of funds to Liangzhou in the past 20 years were all recorded by Yan Heng bit by bit. After she and Uncle Wei copied them in Arabic numerals overnight, they were taken to Youzhou together by her.Calculating accounts is a hassle, especially in such a large state where things are extremely complicated, and it is not possible to find problems simply by transcribing.

Once he gets busy, Yan Heng occasionally brings a cup of tea, and the hand stove when the sun goes down and the sky cools down, these small actions are extremely heartwarming.

At the same time, when she finished her work and looked up, seeing his muscular figure and resolute facial features, she would feel a sense of pleasure.Occasionally, in her spare time, she watched him ride Batu busily in and out, standing upright and giving orders to the pillars, and the maturity that was totally out of line with her age when she was obsessed with her job made her heart beat again and again.

Closing the account book and sitting in front of the window of the west wing, there was a sound from the gate, Yan Heng led the horse in, wearing a dark blue official robe, the clothes that had been flattened all night without a trace of wrinkle, covered his hardcover body , not to mention how energetic.

As if aware of her gaze, Yan Heng turned his head and greeted her with a smile.

Wei Wei subconsciously beckoned to him, and seeing him walk in, she picked up the kettle she had just prepared.

"Isn't the official business done yet?"

Yan Heng glanced at the account books: "Well, colleagues from Youzhou and Liangzhou gathered together to check the account books over the years. But most of the officials in Liangzhou don't know how to do accounts, so it's a bit slow to check."

Can't even count?

Wei Wei finally understood why a steward like Shitou's father, who was born in a military household, could secretly backup the ledger.

Thinking of Shitou, she had an idea: "Ah Heng, Shitou's injury should be almost healed?"

Yan Heng understood: "Ah Mao is saying, transfer the stone here?"

"Well, Shitou is burdened with hatred, so this is a chance for him to take revenge. Besides, there is still a child left in the Shi family. I remember that the child was chopped off by a gangster who burned, killed and looted. Not to mention a large amount of expenses, there will be obstacles in life in the future. It is better to let Shitou take the opportunity to earn more money, and with some money, their uncle and nephew will always have something to rely on in their future life."

Yan Heng's heart was moved, he had also sponsored many military robes before, but they were the ones who asked for help on their own initiative.Unexpectedly, this time he almost forgot what happened in the back of his mind during his busy schedule, but Ah Mao actually remembered it clearly.Not only did she remember, but she also thought about everything clearly.

"It just so happens that Shitou is here too, so I'll arrange an unremarkable address for him right now. Don't be too tired, Ah Mao, it's okay if you don't finish reading the account books."

Yan Heng was really not worried at all. Although he couldn't see anything wrong, he knew there must be something wrong.The emperor is coming soon, and there will definitely be officials and subordinates who are good at counting, so let them do it.

"Anyway, I'm free and have nothing to do."

Wei Wei smiled, seeing that he was about to go out, she quickly stopped him: "Heng, wait a minute."

Yan Heng stopped with his feet buried across the threshold: "En?"

"You take this with you."

Wei Wei took a bamboo tube at hand, said it was a bamboo tube, but it was actually a cup made of bamboo.Use this cup to hold desserts. After a long time, the desserts will have the fragrance of bamboo, and the sweetness that comes with them will not be so greasy.

"The sky in Youzhou is dry and dry. You have been running around outside, mobilizing people to do such and such things. Your lips are so dry that they are almost peeling. I boiled some rock sugar pears, and Ah Heng hung on the saddle by the way, thirsty Just drink this."

Yan Heng took the bamboo tube, drilled a small hole in the top of the lid, and hung this five-color rope.The length of the colorful rope is just enough to pass through the hand, and it is not cumbersome to hang on the wrist.

"I originally wanted to learn from Aunt Wei and weave a nice pattern."

Wei Wei is a little embarrassed, she is a real scumbag.Not only female celebrities, but also everything related to handwork, the steps are obviously correct, but the corners of the things are not aligned, in short, all kinds of rough.Ah Heng has always been doing the sewing at home, and every time he sits in front of the window and points out brightly, with his big hand threading the needle and flying up and down the fabric, she always feels that the relationship between husband and wife is inverted.

After finally making up her mind, she wanted to weave a lanyard for the cup, so she asked Gu Yu for advice.In the end, with the same thread and the same steps, what Gu Yu wove was a lanyard, and she wove a human small intestine of different thicknesses.

"Ah, this is beautiful."

Yan Heng said firmly, hanging the colorful rope on his wrist with great care.When he went out again, his arm seemed to be dislocated, and his wrist barely moved while holding the bamboo water bottle.

looks good?
Wei Wei's heart was full of sweetness, and when she entered the room and saw the remaining colorful ropes, she called Gu Yu with great interest.

Gu Yu said with a bitter face, "Madam, we'll come down to deal with such trivial matters."

"I want to learn by myself."

Gu Yu glanced at the account books spread outside the window: "But the adults also said that Madam is busy with important matters. There are so many account books that I haven't read, how can I waste time on such a trivial matter."

Wei Wei insisted: "Gu Yu, I know I'm a slow learner and can't weave well. But practice makes perfect for this kind of thing, and I can do it well if I do it a few times."

Gu Yu was silent, and picked up the rope resignedly.

After two consecutive braids, the four lanyards were spread out on the table one by one.The neat pattern on the left can be directly bought in a boutique, and it is undoubtedly made by Gu Yu; the ball of thread on the right, Wei Wei can't bear to look directly at it, is her masterpiece.

"Why is it getting worse?"

Gu Yu, who was so thirsty from teaching, finally had no choice: "Ma'am, this thing has even hand strength. But your right hand is too strong, every time you pull the rope, you have to use force, and your left hand can't use it. In this way, one side is tight and the other is tight." Loose, a good rope will let you weave such a ball."

Looking at his right hand, Wei Wei always felt that the power of the wild was sealed inside.

"This...then what should I do?"

Gu Yu sighed: "Ma'am, to be honest, you really don't look like a woman who knows how to be popular."

Wei Wei was very innocent: "What am I not like? Could it be that I look big and thick?"

When it comes to the five big and three rough, although Yan Heng doesn't count, but there are many five big and three rough people in the Yan family, it's called a dexterity.While sewing the oily leather paper bag, each man's fingers were flying up and down. The picture was so beautiful that she hardly dared to look at it.

"Both Madam Wei and Madam Wei are naturally slender people, but this has nothing to do with body shape."

What does that have to do with it?Although Wei Wei didn't ask the question clearly, the question was clearly written on his face.

Gu Yu gritted her teeth: "It has something to do with the family's wealth and poverty. Think about it, Madam, female celebrities are used to make clothes and mend clothes. Mother Wei came this time, so she brought Madam a box of new autumn and winter clothes that are popular in the capital. Guarantee you Wearing clothes in winter is not the same. Not only Wei's mother, rich and noble families will make new clothes every season, and they will be replaced before they are worn out. Even if they make clothes, there are ready-made clothing shops outside, or embroidered clothes specially raised in the mansion. Mother. If that’s the case, being a female celebrity is just for show, how could anyone poke and poke the cloth with a needle every day.”

Of course there are, some people just love doing it.

But this special situation cannot be used as an example. Facing Gu Yu's resentful gaze, Wei Wei nodded: "It seems that it is really what you said."

Gu Yu couldn't hold it back, and said with anger: "Otherwise, what does Madam think?"

Wei Wei laughed and said, "Anyway, I was the one who lost the rope weaving just now, why are you so angry when you win?"

Gu Yu said embarrassingly: "Mother Wei brought so many things to Madam, so many people are envious. Before I just entered the door, I was thinking, if my mother can treat me like this. Even if our family is poor, I will always Helping the family. It’s a bit annoying to think about it, I’m presumptuous.”

Through Gu Yu's apologetic face, Wei Wei saw the never-healing scar in her heart.She knew about Gu Yu, her parents wanted to sell her into a brothel in order to support her younger brother.It was she who resisted desperately and went to the patriarch to save the last bit of dignity.Even so, she still did not escape the fate of being sold.

Through her incident, she recalled the past that Wei's mother had briefly mentioned a few days ago.Her first grandmother, because her posthumous child was born a girl, did everything possible to force her mother to hold a baby boy, who would inherit the Wei family property after raising it.

"People are not clay bodhisattvas in temples. Everyone has emotions, and it's not your fault."

To soothe her emotions, Wei Wei changed the topic: "Gu Yu, have you ever hated your parents?"

The expression on Gu Yu's face became very strange: "Ma'am, if someone asked me this before, I would definitely say hate. I know they gave birth to me, but they gave birth to me for a boy. Seeing that I am not a boy, they threw me away. Fend for myself on the sidelines. When I grow up without any danger, they want me to be a cow and a horse."

"At first I didn't think it was wrong, because everyone in the village was like this, giving birth to a girl and selling it to the son to marry a wife, or exchanging it with other girls for a wife. The reason why I found the patriarch was because I was afraid of brothels. But later they were sold to the capital by accident. Seeing the girls in the capital dressed up beautifully, watching lanterns on the street during the Lantern Festival, and going to the Yuelao Temple to seek marriage on the Qixi Festival, they lived so freely, I felt a little uncomfortable .”

Only by comparing can we know the difference, Wei Wei understands Gu Yu's feelings.

"But Mother Wei and Mrs. Wei treated me very well, and gradually I didn't feel so uncomfortable. Now if someone asks me, I will definitely say that my father and mother are good, and that they have no choice. Don't outsiders like to hear such words? I In this way, they will think that I am generous and tolerant, and at the same time think that Madam is a lenient master. But Madam asked me, I will not tell lies. "

Speaking of this, Gu Yu sat up straight, and said firmly, "I hate them, I hate them so much that I don't want to think about them again."

At this moment, the sadness around Gu Yu was so intense.

She hates the cruel parents who have always used her as a tool to make money, and the happiness now makes her want to forget the misfortune of the past.Wei Wei understands Gu Yu's mood, Wei's mother is such a perfect mother, with her making comparisons all the time, Gu Yu can't help but think too much.It was okay to leave the capital two months ago, but now Mother Wei came again, and even brought her a carriage full of food for her.

Gu Yu is only fourteen this year, not forty.Her mind is not that mature, and it is difficult for her to get rid of her grievances when she sees the things that Wei's mother has lightly brought.

"Ma'am, I feel much more at ease now. I don't know what happened just now, but I suddenly want to tell Madam about this."

Gu Yu stood up with restraint on his face.

Wei Wei smiled broadly, and his words were full of encouragement: "It's better for you to be honest with me than those servants who are jealous and hide their evil intentions. Gu Yu, I'm very glad you can say this to me."

Under her comfort, Gu Yu's expression slowly relaxed, but Wei Wei's heart was full of emotion.From Lixia to Gu Yu, their childhoods were unfortunate, but Gu Yu was stronger and had no distorted personality.But when you think about it deeply, if you are born as a girl, you should be inferior to boys, and you deserve to suffer these misfortunes?

Her heart was in a mess, and suddenly she wanted to go out for a walk.
