Chapter 72: He Lao Niang's Ambition~


Shen Nian came to the He family.

Although this was only a matter of the He family, it still alarmed the neighbors.

The He family began to say that Shen Nian was a relative of the family.

It was obvious that Shen Nian's surname was Shen, which was the same as the Shen family.

Everyone didn't think much about it and just thought it was a relative of Shen's family.

However, Shen Nian stayed in the Shen family and never left.

The quick-thinking people suddenly thought: Well, there must be something going on here.

Otherwise, which relative's family is there?

The child will live with relatives' parents.

Is it possible that Shen Nian is like the third girl?

Her parents died and she came here to seek refuge.

Gossip often spreads from the mouths of the most lax people.

Who is the most lax person?

The answer is: children.

Because Shen Nian came to school with He Zijin, Chen Erniu deliberately avoided Shen Nian and called He Zijin to the garden to gossip.

She asked He Zijin mysteriously, "A Nian is really you I heard from relatives that he is your uncle's illegitimate child.

"There are no mobile phones or high technology these days, but rumors spread so fast.

The Chen family is a businessman with a wide reputation and quick news.

The Shen family and the Chen family can be regarded as relatives in a roundabout way.

Shen Su is now a person who is right and wrong, good and bad, and there are some rumors. , the people below are paying attention, and the Chen family will naturally know faster.

He Zijin glared at Chen Erniu, "Who did you listen to?"

"That's what people outside say."

Naturally, Chen Erniu couldn't say that she heard what her mother said.

"I haven't heard anyone outside say that."

He Zijin stopped murmuring to Chen Erniu and said, "Don't listen to the wind, it's the rain.

Look at Sister Da Niu, she won't talk about these things.

Mr.

Strange Everyone praises Sister Da Niu for being steady."

Chen Erniu said this, but I don't know what others think.

He Zijin didn't like Chen Erniu secretly gossiping about Shen Nian's origins, so he touched Chen Erniu's pain point with one sentence.

Chen Erniu snorted, "Yes, I'm a tongue-tied woman, it's done now" "You said that yourself."

He Zijin smiled.

Seeing that Chen Erniu was no longer interested in gossiping, he glanced at a red plum with buds and a cold fragrance next to him, and asked her, "Are you going to do this?"

Is there a plum blossom appreciation poetry party?

The plum blossoms are about to bloom now.

Why haven’t I received your post yet?”

If she was just a little unhappy just now, Chen Erniu's face could be called cold now.

In the past two years, she had gotten along well with He Zijin, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to directly ask about Shen Nian's life experience.

The cousins ​​who go to school together every day, Grandma Chen, although she is not pregnant yet, has found a good way to secure her position in front of Aunt Chen.

She is especially affectionate to the He family.

The He family was Aunt Chen's natal family, and as Grandma Chen was so discerning, Aunt Chen was always worried about the childlessness of her second wife, and she was quite okay with Grandma Chen.

Therefore, Chen Erniu treated He Zijin very well.

They went to school together for more than two years.

Even if it was intentional at first, they have become somewhat affectionate towards each other by now.

Chen Erniu said coldly, "My cousin will take the scholar examination next year.

The eldest sister is older than me.

Why shouldn't we put the eldest sister first in the family?"

She mentioned the matter of the Plum Blossom Appreciation Poetry Party first, and organized the famous event.

But she has to give it to Chen Da Niu.

Chen Er Niu is a very strong person, and she is at the age where she is very strong.

How can she be convinced now?

He Zijin advised her, "Why can't you think about it?

To be honest, the eldest sister is older than you.

She must be the first to marry you.

What's wrong with letting her go first?

You are all cousins, eldest sister."

Sister Niu is the eldest sister.

She can be a close friend.

Isn’t it good for you to treat the eldest sister?

Now that we’re going to hold a flower party, even if it’s Sister Sanniu’s idea, you’ll have to be the one to take the lead. ” "My mother also said this."

From a distance, she saw Chen Da Niu, wearing a long dress with red plum blossoms on a white background, and her maid.

He then said, "We have agreed to hold a plum appreciation poetry party later.

Why do you fold the flower branches upside down?"

Chen Erniu handed the flower branch in her hand to the eldest maid Huang Oriole to keep it.

She forced a smile and said, "Look at it, take it and put it in the bottle."

Chen Da Niu looked at the broken branch on the tree that revealed a green-white branch, and said, "When can I not insert a vase?

After I finish the poetry meeting, my sister will move the whole plum tree to your house."

Go and plug it in, I won’t say anything "He then ordered the maid Cuiying next to him, "Tell the woman who is looking after the garden and tell her to keep an eye on these plum blossom trees.

Never let anyone break them again, and then prune the remaining branches.

Otherwise it would be too ugly.”

After finishing these instructions, Chen Da Niu nodded to He Zijin, noble and polite, "I will hold a poetry meeting here, my sister, please come and play together."

He Zijin said quickly, "I have to look after the children at home, I'm afraid I won't have time."

Listening to this tone, Chen Da Niu didn't seriously want her to come.

Chen Da Niu thought about it and sighed, "Yes, now there is A Nian again, and he has to come with you even to school, so you have no time to spare.

Fortunately, he is still young, otherwise, men and women are not seated at the same table at seven years old.

He would have been older." , but it’s not good to hang out in the inner palace like this.”

He Zijin smiled, "Yes."

Chen Da Niu said nothing more and said, "I'm going to read a book first.

The husband is coming soon.

Sisters, please come in too."

He Zijin turned sideways to make way, "Sister Da Niu first."

After Chen Da Niu left, even He Zijin couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, Chen Da Niu was just a bold and straight-tempered person with a little bit of vanity.

Now, I don't know why, I have been studying for one or two years, and I have learned a lot of knowledge, but I have not learned to be more tolerant, but I have learned the snobbery of her mother, Grandma Chen.

Of course, everyone is snobbish, and He Zijin himself is not exempt from it.

But it is rare to see someone as snobbish as Chen Da Niu.

For example, since He Zijin held a poetry meeting at home, all the boys and girls in Bishui County who knew a few words and knew how to write poems were all interested in it anyway.

Let's hold a poetry meeting.

In a family like the Chen family, the three sisters of the Chen family specially paid a lot of money to hire their husband to take care of them.

Naturally, there were constant poetry and tea parties.

If Chen Erniu was to take the lead, He Zijin would be invited to join them.

If Chen Da Niu was the host, she had never invited He Zijin once.

Always ask as I did just now, He Zijin understands the meaning, and both parties are happy.

He Zijin didn't know if she had offended Chen Da Niu in some way, and now she was talking about Shen Nian going to school with her.

He Zijin sighed, and Chen Erniu rejoiced, "Good people don't get retribution, huh."

Just now, he spoke for Chen Da Niu and deserved retribution.

Seeing that He Zijin was unlucky, Chen Erniu felt better and said, "The skirt that the eldest sister wore just now is made of the best fashionable materials in the state.

The fifth aunt's family owns a silk and satin shop, and it is not as good as this."

Material.

Listen.

My mother said it cost ten taels of silver a piece, so the eldest uncle bought two pieces of tailor-made clothes for Sister Da Niu to wear.

There is no one else in the family. " Rao Chen Erniu rejoiced in He Zijin's misfortune.

This matter is also quite depressing.

Chen Erniu sighed, "It's not just about the poetry meeting.

It's not like I didn't let her go before.

If she wants to be in the limelight, just let her go out.

Anyway, I'm two years younger and I'm not in a hurry.

But the same surname is Chen, now She has it, San Niu and I No, I don’t know what will happen in the future.

"Chen Erniu has always been mean-spirited to the people in the city.

Chen Erniu has always been very strong.

If Chen Daniu hadn’t been irritated today, she wouldn’t have said anything about her family to He Zijin. thing.

In fact, it’s not just a poetry gathering, nor just clothes.

He Zijin pulled her hand and whispered, "If you are not happy, you should think of something happy.

These plum blossoms are pretty good.

Ask Sister Oriole to make a vase and send it to your great-aunt.

Just say that you are looking at the flowers.

Well, be filial to the elderly.”

Chen Erniu burst into laughter, "I used to see you always being dull and silent in class.

I always thought you were boring, but the older you get, the smarter you become."

Seeing Chen Erniu smiling, He Zijin smiled and said, "What kind of cleverness is this?

If you are depressed again, just think of me.

Don't talk about the material worth ten taels of silver a piece.

Even if you are made of such good material, I will also I've never worn it.

If my aunt hadn't taken care of me, I wouldn't have been able to study.

If you compare with me, you will be happy."

He Zijin is a born optimist.

"What kind of fallacy is this?

Am I the kind of person who doesn't like people's kindness?"

Chen Erniu smiled and said to He Zijin, "As Mr. taught in the class, don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality.

My family's affairs , I don’t say you should You know better.

It all looks the same now, but my father is the second son, and the eldest uncle is willing to spend twenty taels of silver to buy clothes for the eldest sister, but my mother can't afford these things.

It can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Chen Erniu told Oriole, "Go and get the white jade plum vase from my house.

It looks best with the red plums.

Send it to my grandmother.

She said that I saw that the plum blossoms are blooming so well that I don't dare to do it first."

Reward, honor your grandmother and reward first.”

The oriole went away holding the plum blossoms.

When He Zijin saw Shen Nian standing outside the Qiuzhi Hall looking at her, he smiled and said to Chen Erniu, "If you feel better, let's go inside.

The husband will be here soon."

Chen Erniu also saw Shen Nian and smiled, "It's been more than two months, and A-Nian is still so close to her.

For those who don't know, I must say that this is your biological brother."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Since you say so, take care of him as if he were my own brother."

"You don't have to say that."

Chen Erniu smiled and said to He Zijin, "You think this person is strange.

Sister Da Niu was not like this in the past."

He Zijin smiled, "You always talk about others, but you didn't treat me like this in the past."

Chen Erniu smiled, "I was younger two years ago.

To be honest, I remember when I was a child, although my family was rich, my grandmother was always frugal and felt that she would be very happy if she had meat for every meal.

Later, things got better at home.

Nowadays, bird's nest and shark fin are not uncommon.

At that time, they were suddenly wearable.

I bought silk and satin, bought many maids and servants, and my mother told me a lot about the ostentation of wealthy families.

In fact, I felt excited and uneasy at the same time.

I was afraid that I would be looked down upon when I went out, so I kept carrying some. , It’s annoying enough.

I think you also disliked me at that time.”

He Zijin smiled, "You told me first.

When you spoke to me at that time, you wanted to raise your chin to the sky.

But you were also willing to take care of me."

In the past two years, no matter what Chen Erniu meant, Anyway, he really took good care of her.

Not to mention anything else, he only gave her a lot of snacks.

When Chen Erniu pulled He Zijin's hand, she was not angry at He Zijin's words.

Instead, she felt more intimate with He Zijin.

She smiled and said, "I thought I was just like Sister Da Niu before, but now I'm looking at She has to be lucky.

Fortunately, she really didn't become Otherwise, how could you say these things to me?"

Seeing that Shen Nian had been looking this way at the door of Qiuzhidang, and no one was coming, Chen Erniu smiled, "Let's go over, otherwise A Nian will really be disappointed. " The two of them went to the Qiuzhi Hall, and Chen Erniu whispered something in He Zijin's ear, "Is A-Nian your uncle's illegitimate child?"

He Zijin pinched her waist quietly and said, "Shut up, others say it's others who say it, but you are not allowed to say that."

"I know."

Chen Erniu thought she had learned some truth in the world and smiled, "Don't worry.

If A Nian is true, Sister Da Niu will never say anything about not being able to sit at the same table at the age of seven again."

He Zijin, her uncle, is a scholar.

Master, her mother gets extremely envious every time she talks about it.

Even the elders in the family said that Shen Su was promising and had a great future.

"You should take care of her.

Ah Nian just came here and he can't live without me.

After some time, he can just ask him to play with Ah Lie at home."

He Zijin smiled, "He and Ah Lie are very close.

That’s right.”

The two of them were talking.

When Shen Nian saw them walking towards the Qiuzhi Hall, he quickly came over and held He Zijin's hand with joy in his eyes.

Chen Erniu teased him, "Why, are you afraid that I will abduct your sister Zijin?"

Shen Nian didn't say much outside.

He held He Zijin's hand and said, "Cool."

He Zijin smiled, "Maybe I've been standing under the plum blossom tree for a long time."

Chen Erniu gave her hand stove to He Zijin, "Warm your hands first."

He Zijin smiled, "You need to use it too.

It's okay, I have strong firepower and I'll be fine in a moment."

Chen Erniu forced it on He Zijin and said, "Auntie's sauce shop, the business has been getting better and better in the past two years, why can't I even give up a hand stove?"

He Zijin covered the brass hand stove with a green embroidered cover that Chen Erniu gave her with both hands, and smiled, "You are the only one who doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

No matter how good my mother's sauce shop is, our Bishui County is In a small place, the toilet is limited.

You only need several taels for this hand stove.

Even the cheapest ones outside cost a few hundred dollars, and the charcoal used for burning inside is high-quality bamboo charcoal, which doesn’t have any smoke.

My family can’t afford such good charcoal, so it’s better.

Make two extra pairs of cotton clothes so that you can wear more clothes on weekdays so you won’t feel cold.”

"Your family is used to being diligent and frugal, so even if they have money, they are reluctant to use it."

Chen Erniu said and smiled, "There is something sensational in our Bishui County today, do you know?"

He Zijin smiled, "I am not as well-informed as you."

"Xue Qianzhen from our county embroidered an embroidery picture of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

Guess how much money the embroidery shop gave her?"

"How could I know this?"

"There are a hundred taels."

He Zijin exclaimed, "My dear, it's really rare that embroidered pictures can be sold for such a high price."

Don't believe the stories about tens of thousands of dollars in previous dramas.

At least He Zijin's personal experience, During the Chinese New Year, her family can spend two taels a month, but she is more frugal on weekdays.

The rice and noodles are all grown on her own farm, and she grows vegetables in her own yard.

One tael a month is enough.

The biggest expense was pens, ink, paper and inkstones for her father to study.

Even her father was very frugal.

He used the front and back of a piece of paper.

Unless he was copying an article for his husband to read, He Gong would never use only one side again. of.

With one hundred taels, one can live comfortably for ten years.

This was a huge amount of money, so Mrs.

He was so happy to know that Shen Nian had one hundred taels of child support that she invited her children and grandchildren out for breakfast.

Chen Erniu said, "Yes, my mother was shocked when she heard about this.

Xue Qianzhen's craftsmanship is really amazing.

I heard that a large embroidery workshop in the state capital came to hire her, but she only I would like to be in Aunt Li’s embroidery workshop.

However, my father said that if I could sell this embroidery directly to the state capital, I would be able to sell it for three hundred taels.”

He Zijin said, "My grandmother also often said that Aunt Li is the smartest person in our county.

She has a great person like Xue Qianzhen in her hands, so there is no need to worry about bad business.

However, such a large-scale embroidery business , I guess it’s not common.”

Chen Erniu smiled, "I said the same thing, maybe one painting a year would be great.

My mother said that I am ignorant, and I think the embroiderers in my family are very good, but it is said that some wealthy families have embroiderers.

The craftsmanship is even more remarkable.

With skills like Xue Qianzhen’s, no one would be willing to work as an embroiderer, and she would also work as an embroiderer.”

He Zijin said, "Everyone with the surname Xue is probably good at it.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Our husband is also surnamed Xue, so he has such good knowledge."

Chen Erniu smiled, "Isn't the third cousin also taking jobs from Aunt Li?

She did a good job.

I saw the handkerchief she gave to Oriole that day, which was also quite exquisite."

He Zijin smiled, "It's hard to compare with people like Xue Qianzhen, but my third cousin's work has gotten better and better in recent years."

Seeing Mr.

Xue coming from a distance, the two simply stopped.

When Mr.

Xue arrived, they saw the ceremony and went in together with Mr.

Xue.

When she returned home at noon, even He Lao Niang knew that Xue Qianzhen had received one hundred taels of silver for an embroidered picture.

She was talking to the third girl, "If you can learn such a craft, you won't have to worry about it in this life." " The third girl smiled, "I'm still far behind."

Mrs.

He curled her lips and said, "I'm not asking you to learn how to code, you have to be careful."

"I don't think I'm stupid, but there are some embroidery techniques that others don't teach to others, and I can't learn them even in a short while."

The third girl wants to learn good embroidery techniques more than anyone else.

Selling an embroidery picture like Xue Qianzhen's for one hundred taels of silver should be the dream of all embroiderers.

Therefore, the third girl told He Lao Niang about her difficulties.

He Lao Niang only knows a little about embroidery, and her skills are far inferior to those of the third girl.

However, Mrs.

He felt that she could still give some guidance to the third girl on the road of life.

She said to the third girl, "You are so stupid.

This is her ability to eat.

You have no blood relatives or friendship with them, not to mention that you are here too."

Stirring rice in a pot to eat, how can someone teach you how to eat by stealing from a teacher?

If you want to learn the real skill, you have to learn it secretly.

There is no one to teach you this embroidery job, how did you learn it?"

Since she has been with Mrs.

He for a long time, the third girl's psychological quality is still very good.

She whispered, "Sister Oriole next to sister Erniu is very willing to give me advice."

There were some smile lines on Mrs.

He's face, and she felt that the third girl was a bit clever, "That's right.

You are not that stupid.

If we had such a capable person in our family, I would have taught you a long time ago.

Our family If not, you go somewhere else to learn.”

The third girl sighed, "It's just that Sister Oriole's embroidery work is limited.

Until now, I can get some small jobs from Aunt Li.

For larger jobs, I can't do it, and my needlework is still poor."

He Lao Niang's method is very simple, "If you feel something is not working well, just practice more and do more.

Sighing can tell the difference."

He Zijin asked, "Cousin, have you ever seen the painting of the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest?

What does it look like?

How can it be sold for such a high price?"

"How can you see this?

Not to mention such embroidery, it is the work we each received, and we also finished it and handed it over directly to Aunt Li.

I can't see other people's, and others can't see mine.

Like this Seven Bamboo Forest "Xian, I got the news early in the morning and went there.

I thought I might be able to see her while she was in a good mood, but I didn't see her."

The third girl asked He Zijin, "What are these seven sages in the bamboo forest talking about?"

It’s still a four-letter name.”

Mrs.

He pretended to understand and said to the third girl, "I don't even understand this.

The Seven Immortals in the Bamboo Forest must be about the Seven Immortals in the Bamboo Forest."

He Zijin was happy immediately, and He Lao Niang also asked, "Which seven gods are these?

If there are statues of these seven gods in the temple, let's go and pay homage too, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless your cousin to learn quickly."

Craftsmanship.

I don’t expect your cousin to sell one hundred taels for an embroidered picture.

I’d be happy if she could get fifty taels.”

He Zijin smiled, "You are really not greedy."

He Lao Niang smiled and said, "What do you know?

I've asked Aunt Li a long time ago.

Aunt Li also said that your cousin is good at this kind of material.

She has good hands and works neatly.

If she practices for two more years, she will be able to master it when she improves her skills.

Let’s do some bigger and more delicate work.”

The Seven Immortals of the Bamboo Forest enlightened He Lao Niang, and He Lao Niang seemed to have seen a glittering road to wealth.

She said to the third girl and He Zijin, "Let's go to the temple tomorrow to worship the Seven Immortals.

Zi Jin, please follow me more."

Cousin learns needlework , Now you are still young, don’t go to school after two years, and go with San Yatou to get some needlework from Aunt Li, and you can also make money by doing needlework.

"Mother He has already found a job for He Zijin after graduation. , or a fixed unit.

He Zijin felt that this unit was not bad, and said, "When I become a master, I will learn painting with you.

It will definitely be good for embroidery in the future."

Mrs.

He smiled brightly and murmured, "I don't think you can match Xue Qianzhen's ability, just half of her.

You two each have fifty taels, which means you have one hundred taels a year."

Miss He Zijin a: So this is what you always had in mind gd1806102:
