Chapter 68
Qian Qingling put the picked longan in the fruit plate and said with a smile, "I'm going to wash it."

Hongmei said: "Miss, let me do it."

Qian Qingling hugged it, "No, I picked it, I have to wash it myself."

Seeing her blushing, Liang Yimei handed her a cup of tea and said, "Drink a cup of tea first and then wash up. Let Hongmei go to the front yard to fetch a basin of water. You can wash up later, and you can leave later." Time to take some back."

Qian Qingling's eyes sparkled, "Okay, okay, take some back and give it to my mother, she will definitely like it."

Hongmei happily responded and went to the front yard.Only then did Qian Qingling remember that she was a guest, and before she had time to say anything, she started picking other people's fruits, her face blushed slightly, and she said, "What does my sister usually do at home?"

Liang Yimei counted carefully: "...to cook, sometimes to clean, to visit the fields, to catch fish..."

Qian Qingling stared at her dumbfounded, "When will my sister learn sewing? Don't you go to school? Don't you need to do homework?"

Liang Yimei looked at her amusedly, shook her head and said: "I don't learn needlework, I just practice handwriting for more than half an hour a day, I read books if I like it, and no one forces me if I don't like it, so I don't need to do homework."

Qian Qingling looked at her enviously, "I can't do it, I have to ask my mother to ask for leave when I go out once in a while, and I have to make up for the missing homework when I go back. If I don't do well in sewing, my grandmother will punish me to kneel in the ancestral hall. "Speaking of this, she leaned slightly towards Liang Yimei, and whispered: "I have knelt down once before too...the inside of the ancestral hall is so eerie!"

Liang Yimei is also a little envious of her, isn't this the school life in her previous life?But it seems that her requirements are stricter. "Then you must be good at needlework?"

Qian Qingling proudly said: "That's natural, my mother said that I will be able to learn how to cut clothes after a while."

"Huh? Don't you know how to make clothes?" I know it!
"Of course not," Qian Qingling said confidently, "I can only embroider medium screens now, unlike my aunt who was able to embroider large screens when she was so old. It is said that she You can embroider a pair of big flowers that are so rich that the Kou family fancy... My mother said, I don’t have to be too forceful, as long as I know how to do it, anyway, I won’t rely on this for food in the future.”

Liang Yimei asked with some uncertainty: "Does it have to be embroidered to make clothes?"

Qian Qingling looked at her strangely, "That's natural, if you don't learn embroidery well, how can you make good clothes?"

Liang Yimei thought about it carefully. Although the sleeves of the clothes she made for her eldest brother were a bit abnormal, they were still wearable. The clothes she made for her second brother were not bad. , but, it seems that apart from trying on it once in front of her, he doesn't seem to have worn it...

What Liang Yimei didn't know was that because of that underwear, Liang Yimu had been teased by many people. They thought it was given to him by a girl who liked him. Liang Yimu explained it every time, and in the end he didn't even bother to explain it. Only he The big fat man next to him knew that his sister made him that dress, and even saved them once when they were in a very difficult time.

Qian Qingling took out the handkerchief from his bosom and said, "I embroidered this, and I give it to you."

Liang Yimu took it and saw that the plum blossoms were embroidered on it, which was vivid. Liang Yimu liked it for a while, "It's so beautiful, I can't embroider it."

Qian Qingling was worried: "Is it really okay if you don't learn needlework? I heard from my mother that needlework is the most important thing. Usually, she would rather me not go to school and learn needlework."

Liang Yimei said indifferently: "I know how to accept shoes. The shoes I accept are very good. They are solid. Even Grandpa Fifth agreed!"

"Oh? Then what do you like to embroider on the shoes? Last time I made a pair for my elder brother too. I embroidered them with bamboo, and my mother also said that they are beautifully embroidered."

Liang Yimei's face is full of cattle, Miss, why do you have to embroider things?I just like vermicelli in clear soup, isn't it?

Liang Yimei said sadly, "I like to embroider branches."

If it wasn't for worrying about being indecent, Qian Qingling almost wanted to pick out her ears, "What are you embroidering?"

Liang Yimei twisted a longan and said: "The branch, it looks strong like that!" She said firmly, and gave her a look with a rare and strange expression.

Qian Qingling gave an unsure "Oh", and decided to go back and ask her mother if it was possible to embroider branches on the upper of the shoe, and changed the subject, "What do you usually read?"

Liang Yimei spat out the longan core and said, "Read some miscellaneous books, travel notes, geography and so on."

Qian Qingling blinked, "Don't you read the Four Books for Women?"

Liang Yimei also blinked, Qian Qingling looked a little weird, unlike someone who likes to read this kind of book, does she really like to read it?But she still replied truthfully: "I've read it once." This is for other people to read, otherwise what should I do if I don't know anything when people ask?
Qian Qingling leaned over and asked quietly: "Then do you believe it?"

Liang Yimei thought for a while, but still shook her head, Qian Qingling's eyes sparkled and said: "My mother also said that she couldn't believe it."

Liang Yimei's gossip factor came to life. She thought it was Qian Qingling who didn't believe it, but she didn't know that it was the dignified and virtuous wife who didn't believe it. She immediately asked, "What do you say?"

"My mother said, I have read and read those books, keep them in my heart, and follow them clearly, so that people can't catch mistakes and do what they should do secretly.

Liang Yimei nodded approvingly, she could see that Mrs. Qian was a wonderful person. "Then you have to listen to your mother. From this point of view, your homework should not be very heavy. Why do you still talk very hard?"

Qian Qingling curled her lips and said, "At first I was very relaxed, but the eldest sister wrote to say that she had finished reading the Four Books for Women, and my aunt also said that the eldest sister was well-known in Kyoto, and my grandmother was worried that if I went to the capital, I would give her a gift. The lady in the hall was holding back, so she specially hired another female gentleman for me, and it was useless for my father to plead for me."

Liang Yimei asked curiously, "Why do you have to go to the capital?"

Qian Qingling's face turned red slightly, she lowered her head and said, "I'm engaged... I live in Kyoto..."

Liang Yimei suddenly realized, she just pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing her like this, Qian Qingling yelled at her when she was annoyed. Looking up, it turned out that Hongmei came back with water.

Qian Qingling patted his chest and said, "You didn't say hello when you came in, you scared us."

Hongmei smiled and said: "It's the servant's negligence. Be sure to pay attention next time. Miss, do you want to wash the longan now? Miss Liang, just now Mr. Liang said that they are hungry and have to eat first. Miss Liang sees where our seats are. where?"

Liang Yimei blushed slightly. When someone came to her house as a guest, she even asked someone else's maid to greet her, but she quickly recovered and asked Qian Qingling with a smile, "Are you hungry now?"

Can it still be like this?When I was a guest at someone's house before, no one ever asked her if she was hungry, and the host always opened the table as soon as the host said.Seeing Liang Yimei looking at her with a smile, she felt it carefully and said, "I don't want to eat it yet, I want to wash the longan first." Hongmei was a little anxious, how could the young lady be so rude?

Liang Yimei smiled and said: "Okay, let's wash the longan first, we will eat here later, and let them have the living room."

Qian Qingling frowned in response, and Liang Yimei saw her carefully put the longan into the water, so she got up and said, "You wash it first, I'll go ahead and take a look, and bring our things over by the way."

Qian Qingling nodded, Liang Yimei went to the front and saw that Uncle Qin had handled the front well and had everything he needed, so she told them that they decided to have dinner in the backyard and asked him to pass it on to Liang Yilin before going to the kitchen He took some vegetables and put them into the basket, and asked Xiaobai to bring some crabs.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he said to Xiaobai: "You wait for me here, and I will come out in a moment." Xiaobai nodded sensiblely, and stood there waiting for her.

Men and women have different seats at the age of seven, she may not care about these things, but it doesn't mean Qian Qingling doesn't care, she'd better follow their rules.

Liang Yimei arranged the things, then came out to take the things from Xiaobai's hand and said: "There are a lot of steamed crabs today, you go to your father to eat some, but you also ate yesterday, don't eat too much, you know?"

Xiaobai nodded, happily ran to the front to find his father.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Qian family's farmer also sent crabs, but Liang's crabs are more delicious to eat. Qian Qingling sucked a crab stick and said with satisfaction: "Xiao Meizi, your crabs are delicious Where did you buy it?"

"I didn't buy it," Liang Yimei pointed to the pond not far away, "It's there."

Qian Qingling exclaimed, ran to the pond in amazement and said, "Your family actually raises crabs?"

Hongmei saw that the young lady had completely lost her demeanor of "not talking about eating", and she was still running around with crab sticks!She wiped away the cold sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, thinking about whether she should tell the truth to her wife when she went back.

"There are not only crabs, but also fish, um, and shrimps, but they are rarely caught." Liang Yimei thought to herself, next time, should I fish some and cook them in soy sauce.

Qian Qingling screamed, and ran back and said, "I remembered, are you the ones who have been selling fish to my family?"

Liang Yimei nodded, and she wailed, "Your fish is delicious, but you won't be able to eat it anymore. You don't know, not only my mother and I love this fish, but my aunt also loves it." Said looking at her longingly.

Liang Yimei insisted on her own, she turned her eyes away and said: "If you like, you can come to my house to eat often. As long as you come, I will make it for you."

Qian Qingling let out a disappointed "Oh", picked up a crab, smashed it open, and got the crab roe out.Hongmei stepped forward and said: "Miss, you can't eat any more, you've eaten enough, this crab is cold..."

Qian Qingling read it and said, "This crab is delicious, you ate it just now!"

Hongmei's face was a little red, but she still insisted, the two couldn't get along, Liang Yimei said: "You drink a glass of chrysanthemum wine first, and then drink it, this chrysanthemum wine is good, it was sent by brother Xu."

When Qian Qingling and Qian Qinghao left, Qian Qingling reluctantly said: "Xiao Meizi, I will write you a letter later and ask my second brother to send it to you, you must write me back! "

Liang Yimei had a headache, why did she feel as if she was parting from life and death?The two of them are not far away, right?Nodding quickly, Qian Qinghao on the side also quickly promised, "I will definitely deliver it." Qian Qingling then helped Hongmei, who was holding a longan basket, into the carriage.
