81. Infected with a disease
Until the end of the twelfth lunar month, the ceremony that should be left was gone, and the He family had a lively New Year. The couplets in the windows and flowers were all replaced, and the doors, windows and courtyards were cleaned. At the New Year's Eve dinner, although it was just a small family with no delicacies, there were all chickens, fish, elbow meat. Also, both children and adults had changed into new clothes. Now there are more children. When He Zijin was alone, He Zijin wore new clothes for one season. Now many children have changed to one year.
The clothes were new, and behind Chen Nian He Lie's little cotton jacket, there were patch embroidery made for them by He Zijin, each with a tiger head, which was simple and festive. The New Year's Eve dinner was lively in the evening. Not only were there many delicious foods, He started a special show. It was just to avoid hoarse voice on the second day and was not easy to entertain relatives and tribesmen who came to pay New Year's greetings, He Zijin was allowed to make a guest appearance twice in the middle. The family was lively for most of the night. Because He Niang insisted on vigilance, Chen Nian He Lie fell asleep on the warm kang in He Niang's room. At midnight, He Gong went out to set off fireworks representing "high promotion". The vigilance on the thirty year old this year was officially over, and everyone went to bed.
The New Year is never a day, nor is it a matter of He Zijin's annual leave in his previous life. In this era, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year, it all belongs to the New Year. Everyone basically eats, greets New Year, visits and plays everywhere. There are also opera troupes invited by big merchants in the county to sing operas, and then big merchants show off their wealth. Of course, it is not like Shi Sui Wang Kai, but just fights for wealth in rewarding money. For example, if you reward ten taels, I reward fifteen taels... This is not a small amount for ordinary families. Because the Chen family made salt wealth in the past two years, He Xin, another wealthy businessman in Bishui County, was invincible, and in the end, the Chen family took the lead.
Fortunately, both heads of the two families are smooth people, so they don’t care about anything about it. They still sit next to the county magistrate and joke.
Since the He family is a relative of the Chen family, there is also a better seat for watching operas. The whole family is enjoying it. Even the four-year-old He Lie is like this. Chen Nian's eyes shine. Only He Zijin, she would rather go home and sleep. He also took special care of her and told her about the opera. The more He Madam talked, the more he became, the more he became, and the more angry Mrs. He said to her, "I'm so stupid. Why can't I even watch the opera? I'm not as good as my dear grandson."
He Zijin brought a bag of snacks to eat.
Mrs. He thought He Zijin couldn't understand the play and had no soulmate, but when she went out, she also liked to take He Zijin with her. For nothing else, He Zijin was beautiful. The third girl was also beautiful, but Mrs. He felt that no matter how beautiful the third girl was, she was still from Jiang, not from the He family. Chen Nian was born with a white and jade, but her surname was Chen, and in his heart he was even more distant than the third girl. Mrs. He was clear about the account in his heart, and whoever had a close relationship with her was not at all vague. She liked to take He Zijin and He Lie out to show off. The third girl, Chen Nian was by the way. Look, whoever saw her child would not praise her. What was the most common praise for her is~
This is not a pity. As long as you have long eyes, you know how cute He Zijin is. She has a round and fat baby face. Her slightly pointed chin has begun to show her big eyes. Her big eyes are full of aura, a high nose bridge, and a small mouth. Moreover, this girl is not exposed to the wind and sun, and is both white and tender. It can be said that He Zijin is now in line with the old lady's slightly round blessed aesthetic, and also in line with the aesthetic of normal people's facial features. She is eight years old and taller than her peers. She wears a red skirt and jacket. She no longer has her head wrapped around her, but is combed into a pair of maids, decorated with silk ribbons and small silver beads on both sides. Even He Lie said, "My sister is so beautiful." She made the family happy.
Who wouldn't be happy to show off such a girl? Therefore, Mrs. He took He Zijin with him everywhere.
Shen took the third girl with her. The third girl originally planned to continue to do needlework after the fifth day of the lunar month. Shen still took her out from home from time to time. If there were guests at home, they would ask the third girl to go out to meet, and handed over some simple matters at hand to the third girl. Shen said, "Learning needlework is learning skills. You have to pay attention to other things in management, otherwise you can only know needlework. If you don't understand these, even if you hire a servant in the future, you will be fooled."
Shen and the third girl said, "You are now twelve, and you will gradually become a big girl. No matter how important needlework is, you cannot fall behind in the world, do you know?"
The third girl was grateful and said, "I thought it would take two years to learn."
"Silly kids, you don't have to go to the same place to learn things. Take things slowly, from easy to difficult." Shen laughed, "Everything else can be lost. People and worldly things must not be lost. You are smart on weekdays, so I will only remind you. Think about it, in the embroidery workshop, what are the embroidery girls that Aunt Li admires, and the embroidery girls who are not appreciated by Aunt Li? Although you have become Master Xue as your master, how many embroidery girls envy you, the more you do this, the more you know how to deal with others. Whether you envy you, jealous of you, or want to show goodwill, you must have a conclusion in your heart."
"Besides, you are old, and I will tell you some things together. Since then, I have never seen anyone who looks at you before getting into the sedan chair. They have been looking at each other for the first three or four years." Seeing the third girl showing shyness, Shen took her hand and smiled, "Don't be embarrassed. You are still young. You will give it to you first, so you can know what you know. I told my wife that you will keep these jewelry you wear and you will not have to return it to your wife in the future."
"How did this happen?" Grandma of the aunt would definitely be unhappy. The third girl was a little worried.
Shen smiled, "Others don't know about the temper of the wife, don't we know yet? She is just a straightforward temper. Don't talk about you. Who has never been scolded by her from your uncle to me? However, the old man is very kind. You are old and it's time to dress up. This dress is not only for others to show, but also for yourself. In the future, no matter whether you go out, at home, or when you meet guests, don't be too careless. At your age, even if you pinch a flower hairpin on the branches, it's the best time to look. Don't let it down."
The third girl was both ashamed and happy and said, "Aunt, I, am I going to start talking about my husband's family now?" She had no father or mother. Even if she was more embarrassed, she could only ask Shen.
Shen smiled, "It's still early, but you have to prepare. Don't worry, girls cannot get married if they don't get married. But if they think about this again, it's too late. Just do whatever you should do. Your appearance is here, and everyone who comes and deals with our family has seen you. Your skills, Master Xue has accepted you as your apprentice. Who doesn't praise you for your ability? Besides, the wife is straight-hearted and soft-hearted, and you don't have a family. Isn't this your family? Even if you get married in the future, it's hard to say how many dowry you will have, and you will have a share of it."
As the third girl heard it, tears fell. Shen wiped her tears and said, "It's not about telling you to cry, but about asking you to know what you are. Don't always feel that you are not as good as others. Since you have good looks and talent, your life is just beginning. Who can tell me about the future? As long as you work hard, you will not live a bad life."
The third girl sobbed twice, nodded, and said for a while, "Auntie, no matter where you tell me, I don't want to leave you."
Shen herself is a bit far away, and it is inconvenient to get along with her parents' family, but she is better than her sister-in-law He. Fortunately, He married well, and her husband is promising and can do it. Otherwise, she would not know how to think about her daughter from far away. When she comes to her daughter, Shen is reluctant to let her daughter marry far away. Now, the third girl has no one in her family and has moved her household registration to Bishui County. She doesn't want to marry far away. Shen can understand her. Shen laughed, "Okay, even Zijin, I don't want her to get far away. Our family, even if you should marry and marry in the future, will be in Bishui County. Not to mention the intimacy, there are people in her family who support her. She is very confident."
The third girl laughed again.
Shen has children, she has always been frugal. Shen has made up her mind for several nights to get married. The main reason is that the third girl is good and has a good look. She has been together for many years and has a quiet eye. She loves such a good girl, not to mention others. Shen loves her in her heart. Shen is also a woman. Knowing the situation of the third girl, the worst is her parents' family, but the dead father and mother have run away, so she has to be dismissed and declares her death to the public. It is too difficult for a woman to have no dowry. Even if she was in love with her husband and wife at the beginning, because her family was limited and her dowry was slightly thin, Mrs. He talked a lot. Put her heart in favor. Even if the third girl has great skills, if she really asked her to go out naked, how could she live in her in-laws' house?
Shen really felt sorry for her, so Fang discussed with her husband, "No matter how thin she is, she has to give the third girl a dowry."
He Gongsu is weak-hearted. Now he is a father and husband, and he understands the worldly ways. He responds as soon as he hears it, "It's this. It's not a waste of her staying in our family for several years."
Shen sighed, "I don't know who is lucky to get this girl." Although the third girl is not old and has a lot of serious things, her father and mother ran away, she could ask about it and find her grandmother's house that she had not been with for many years. At that time, the third girl was only nine years old. In recent years, it was not only the third girl who was willing to work hard, but also her opportunity to become Xue Qianzhen as her teacher... It's so good. If the third girl is really a pool of mud, Shen is not a Jishantang, so she doesn't care about her at all, and she will be with her life or death. But the third girl is so good, Shen is pitying her. At this moment, she gritted her teeth and prepared a dowry for the third girl.
