After reciting a short paragraph, Rutong wants to learn to write these words. Only when you can write can you really read.

But the problem is, writing needs ink, paper and inkstone. Gu Xian didn't bring these things when she came back this time.

Gu Xian said to Qingshu, "Qingshu, lend a pen to Rutong."

She knows that Qingshu has two pens.

Qingshu didn't want to borrow it: "Niang, I lent it to my elder sister. If my writing is broken, it's useless. " This brush is easy to break, so she took an extra one.

"Lend it to your sister first." When did the child become so mean.

Qingshu deliberately said: "why borrow me? Second uncle is a scholar. He must have pen, ink, paper and inkstone! Elder sister, go and get the second uncle's pen and ink. "

If I borrow it, I won't come back. What grandma bought for her are all good things. She doesn't want to be cheap.

If Tong dare not go, bitter face way: "my father forbids me to touch his thing, want to touch will kill me." Only elder brother can touch his father's calligraphy, not even her mother.

Gu Xian suddenly feel like Tong good poor.

But Qingshu didn't eat this, and said, "you can't take the second uncle's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, can you always use them?"

Lin lezu is two years older than Qingshu. He was enlightened by the old master. Even now, the old master is teaching him, so his room is complete in ink, paper and inkstone.

Rutong shook his head and said, "big brother won't lend it to me."

Qingshu said unhappily: "you didn't ask, how can you know that elder brother won't lend it to you?"

If Tong hangs a head pitifully to say: "elder brother oneself are not enough, can lend me again?"

Although there was a Ju in the Lin family, there were not so many benefits in Ming Dynasty. In the former dynasty, as long as the candidates were successful in the examination, they didn't have to pay taxes except for getting money every month. But in the Ming Dynasty, except for the 50 mu of good land tax exemption, other benefits were not available.

The Lin family has more and more people and more expenses, so they are always careful. Lin lezu's brush, ink and inkstone are used by the old master, and the paper for practicing calligraphy is also fixed. If he gave Rutong some paper, he would not be able to use it himself.

Qingshu immediately said: "mine is not enough."

Rutong's eyes turned red: "sister Qingshu, please lend me some! Don't worry. I will pay you back when I make money. "

This cake is painted so well that Qingshu admires her. But Gu Xian looked at her and said, "I can lend you a pen, but not a piece of paper. I can't use it myself. I can't lend it to you."

If Qingshu doesn't let go, Gu Xian can't. Finally can only let such as Tong to carry a bowl of water, let her use a brush dipped in water on the table to write.

When Rutong writes, she shows the pearl string on her wrist. The pearls are as big as peanuts and round. Although they are not precious, they are worth several liang of silver.

Qingshu wondered when her second aunt was so generous and willing to buy such valuable jewelry for Rutong.

In the evening, Rutong nestled up to Webster and said angrily, "mother, she is too stingy to lend me a piece of paper. The eldest aunt just let her go and didn't ask for it for me. "

How can Lin Qingshu's life be so good? There is a gentle and literate mother, and a generous and rich grandmother. And her grandmother is stingy and stingy, not only won't buy things for her, but also always want to profit from them.

Thinking of Qingshu's clothes, Rutong's eyes flashed jealousy. They were so rich that they didn't even want to lend her a few pieces of paper. It's really hateful.

Webster said: "you are good to coax her, coax her happy, not only will borrow your pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I'm not sure in the future will persuade your aunt to take you to the county to study."

Gu Xian that temperament, ask her to send her daughter to the county to study, certainly will not agree.

As Tong face a joy, but soon frustrated: "Niang, she is not the same as before. Last time I coaxed her, no matter what, she would promise me. But this time I said all the good things, and she ignored me. "

Webster couldn't help frowning. Qingshu's change is not in her eyes. Not to mention anything else, dressing has changed the style significantly. Before this girl came back, like her mother, she was wearing half old clothes. But this time, the clothes are new, not to mention the expensive jewelry.

Rutong whispered: "Niang, do you think the evil is still attached to her? If not, how can it change so much? "

Thinking of Qingshu's faint eyes when he looked at her, Wei's heart was cold. Could it be that the evil was not killed? If not, why did the girl always make her feel frightened.

Wei Shi and Rutong said: "these two days you have a good observation of the maid, what's wrong, don't say, quietly tell me." Even if she told her mother-in-law that the evil had not been destroyed, she had to seize the evidence, and she couldn't get good words.

Rutong nodded her head.

The Lin family's house is very big, with eight rooms. Originally, it was planned to be two for each son. Lin Chengyu and Gu Xian got two rooms at the beginning, but because they spent too little time at home, it was a waste to leave the room empty, so Mrs. Lin occupied one of them to store grain.

Gu Xian came back with Chen's mother and two servant girls, Qingshu also brought Jiaoxing. So many people are all crowded in a room, can't, mother Chen with summer months a few people hit the floor.

Qingshu frowned and said: "now this day, sleeping on the ground is easy to catch cold."

Gu Xian said, "there's no way. There are only a few rooms in my family, so I have to make do with them. "

She mentioned to build the room before, but the two elders didn't agree, so she had to let it go.

Don't say that he can live for the time being. Even if he can't live, he won't build a house with her money. If it's spread, he won't lose face.

Gently touched Qingshu's head, Gu Xian said: "don't think so much. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow!"

Qingshu originally thought that he would not sleep, but did not expect to lie down and fall asleep soon.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, Qingshu was awakened by a sound. A look outside, gray day is not bright.

I swept the room and saw that no one else was there. Qingshu asked: "Niang, where are mother Chen?"

Gu Xian said with a smile: "mother Chen took Xia Miao and they went to make zongzi. Do you want to go?"

Every family should make Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. Last night, Webster and Zhang Qiaoqiao soaked rice, beans and other things and got up early this morning. In this way, zongzi is fresh and delicious.

Gu Xian doesn't touch Yang water and can't do these trifles, so she asks mother Chen and Xia Miao to help.

Qingshu shook his head and said, "I have to practice calligraphy with endorsement." In her last life, she began to do laundry, cooking, sewing, and no food if she didn't do it. Because she did too much housework, her hands became rough. When she arrived in the capital, she was always ridiculed as a village girl by Du Shiya.

Think about Qingshu all feel sad, originally should be the daughter of honor, but the result is no different with a maid. But she was too weak in her last life, and she will never be bullied again in this life.

Gu Xian is happy that her daughter works so hard. Qingshu studied well, and when he got to the capital, he was able to enter a good school. But Gu Xian still said: "your lobby brother is endorsing. Don't let his voice affect him too much later."

"Mother, I know." Although Qingshu doesn't like Lin lezu, she doesn't want to conflict with her.

As the old saying goes, the lifeblood of an old son, a great grandson and an old lady. Lin lezu is the old lady's eye. If it affects her, I'm afraid it will be another fight.

Qingshu is not afraid of anything, but she can't take advantage of it.
