Chapter 49 (2)
Looking down, Guanyinbao's eye circles were red.Sigh, she thought about becoming a monk halfway, and having her parents after more than 300 years. How could Guanyinbao not want to?But looking at him recently, I thought he was too young to understand parting sorrow.He raised his hand and touched his half-glowed head: "New Year's is coming soon, we also have to pack some things and send them to Ama Erniang. Your handwriting is quite good, and you can also write to Erniang."

"Really?"

"Of course, when we went to Hangzhou, the eldest brother and the second brother stayed in Beijing to study, and there were letters between them." Kneeling down, he decided to betray Qing De to Bozheng, smiling, "I still keep the letter from the second brother, there are many typos, That time when Ama saw it and got angry, she remembered him for two years, and the first thing she did when she returned to Beijing was to beat him."

Guanyinbao shivered: "Let's go see Mafa quickly, I want to practice calligraphy when I come back."

Shujia: ...I didn't come here to scare you.

It's November, and now Wen Du's family has a busy year, so she had to invite Shujia over.She was pregnant last year, and she couldn't get her hand in the busy year.She knows a little about the people in the Shi family, and she can understand a little more by asking the elders in the family. The problem is that she is pregnant again!

She has to be busy with housework, so she doesn't pay much attention to her health, her menstrual irregularity is just busy, she just takes some medicine to recuperate, but unexpectedly the medicine doesn't work, so she has to send the doctor to see her.After a glance, the doctor advised her to rest.Wen Dushi was in a hurry: "With all these things, where can I go to recuperate?"

Now the family is convinced, this year the queen is dead, the New Year should not be too lively, there won't be too many things, she thinks that she can also be busy, and she is about to show her skills.It is the most delicate time for a woman to conceive and give birth. Even if the Wendu family is so strong, she does not dare to take it lightly. She already has a son. , but that is not the case.

Rong'er personally invited Shujia, and when she arrived at Shujia's courtyard, Qingjin stayed behind and greeted her and asked Sister Rong what was the matter.Rong'er said: "Grandma asked me to invite the girl, I have something to discuss." Qing Jin said: "The girl is in the small kitchen at this time, sister sit down a bit, I will go to find the girl. What's the matter, grandma?"

Rong'er said: "Grandma fell ill today..."

"ah!"

"My dear sister, let me go with you."

When the two found Shujia, she was serving steamed rice cakes.College students in the Celestial Dynasty, especially college girls, are few who have never secretly cooked in the dormitory. Shujia is still very familiar with the kitchen. Even so, whenever she cooks, there are always two aunts watching, lest she have any accidents .

The cook also said: "Girl, the eldest grandma said that the girl can't use the knife yet." The aunts immediately agreed.The cook said again: "Girl, Grandma said that you can't do frying yet." The aunts also agreed.Shujia was very discouraged, now she could only throw the ingredients prepared by the cook into the pot, and then stew.

Of course, how much each material needs and how to match it, she can do it herself.After soft grinding and hard foaming, you can knead noodles and make snacks by yourself, and you can't deep fry them.According to the cook, there was an accident where cold water was poured into the hot oil, and the face was scalded.

Shujia said: "Now that you've said it, I know it too, so naturally I wouldn't do that." The cook refused to agree, "Everything in the kitchen is done by us rough people. As long as the girl knows a little bit, she can do it." It’s done, I’ve made my hands rough.” What if there is another accident?The cook would not dare to take such a risk.The aunts also didn't dare, even Wen Du's bit her tongue.

Shujia had no choice but to study soup and snacks angrily.

When Rong'er came in, she didn't recognize Shujia at a glance. In order to cook, Shujia asked someone to find out the Songjiang cloth sent by Shi Wenzhuo. Among them, there were plain ones, and they were used to cut aprons and sleeves. It's a bit like the smocks that kindergarteners wear when they eat.

Qing Jin waited for Shujia to put down the plate before saying, "Girl, Sister Rong from Grandma's place has something to do with the girl."

Here, the maids and mother-in-law came up and led Shujia to the next room of the small kitchen, took off the apron covering her, helped her to sit on a chair, drank tea and had a rest.Rong'er walked over, Shujia raised her chin, and the little girl quickly led Rong'er to sit on the next chair.

Rong'er slanted his body and sat down: "Girl, grandma... has something to discuss."

In the big family with a long history, the servants everywhere have all kinds of relatives accumulated over generations, gossip is effortless, and there are few secrets.The news of the doctor from Wendu's had already reached Shujia's ears through her uncle who worked as an errand at the second door and her aunt who stayed behind in the courtyard of Xirut's.

Shujia put down the tea bowl: "Since that's the case, I'll go back and change my clothes." If it wasn't for her to take the big one, she had to go back to her room to see if Hongxiu got any new information just now.

Rong'er was in a hurry: "My good girl, it's just right for you to wear this outfit. Grandma is looking forward to you."

Shujia was really surprised. Even if Wen Dushi was a little sick, it wouldn't make Rong'er anxious like this: "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

Rong'er said heartily, let me tell you about gynecological diseases?She's still pregnant... She can only vaguely say, "Grandma is here again, and you're going to have a nephew. That's not it"

Shujia said, "Let's go."

In Wen Du's main room, the kang was burning warmly.As soon as Shujia came in, she took off her big clothes and still felt hot.Wen Du's head was wrapped with a veil, and she was lying on the bed: "Your sister is here?"

Shujia saw that her face was a little pale: "Yesterday I looked very energetic, why did my face suddenly change today?" Wen Dushi said: "I didn't try anything yesterday, but today I suddenly feel uncomfortable. , I have to go to my uncle and old lady tomorrow, I am afraid of delaying things, so I asked the doctor to come and have a look..."

The doctor said that Wen Dushi must rest, otherwise there is a risk of miscarriage.People are all affected by psychological hints. If a doctor says you are too ill to be cured, even a misdiagnosis can scare you to death.

Shujia said: "Tomorrow... no, just today, send someone to deliver a letter to the elder sister, and go to the old lady's place together. The old lady is not unreasonable."

This uncle and old lady belonged to the Hesheli family, and was also one of Shi Wenbing's aunts. Her husband was Chani, who died of illness not long after he became General Fengtian.Unable to bear the blow, the old lady was also sick at the time, so she recuperated on the spot. She just returned to Beijing on the road recently, and she just arrived two days ago.It would be cheaper if the nephew's family didn't go to the funeral. Now that someone is here, the younger generation will of course go to see it.

Wen Dushi said: "There is no other way, my sister will pay my respects to my uncle and old lady on my behalf. When I can get up, I will go to kowtow to my uncle and old lady myself."

Shujia said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. How about I let my brother go with me when I have some free time tomorrow?" Wen Du said: "You can figure it out. This is one thing, and there is another one. It's the Chinese New Year. I'll look at it." It's not going to happen, there is no one else in here and outside who can take care of things except you." Wen Dushi lamented in her heart, she wasted a good time.

Shujia said: "Forget it, there is a big event for the empress this year, and the outside world doesn't dare to be too lively, and we have few banquets. If there is anything that can't be decided, I will ask my sister-in-law again."

The two aunts and sisters-in-law had a discussion, and Wen Du called Rong'er: "You know what happened before, tell the girl, these few days you have obeyed the girl's orders, and treated the girl as you would treat me." Then he said to Shujia: "This girl has been following me. She understands everything about the family. Just be your servant."

It's another delivery of accounts and an inventory of things.Shujia took time to send someone to see Shuxian.

Those who went brought back a message: "Grandmaid, Second Aunt, our eldest aunt... sent someone to come with you."

A daughter-in-law came to the Jiang family, and she was well-dressed and clean.He came in and kowtowed: "Our grandma sent servants back and forth to my uncle, grandma, and girl. Grandma has a happy news, and now she is having a baby..."

What a coincidence!Shujia is both happy for Shuxian and worried about her. She will be a mother at the age of fifteen.Wen Dushi was ill, Shujia said to her: "Let's send someone to see it right now, but I don't know what to send there." Wen Dushi said: "I'm afraid my natal family's gift list is still there, You can just add a little bit. Send this person back first."

Immediately, he rewarded the money for the good news, and sent two decent ladies in charge to deliver medicinal materials to Shuxian.Shujia still has to write a letter when she goes back, along with the new year's goods for Fuzhou.

Temporarily sent someone to Dong E's house, Shujia is a little girl after all, socializing alone is child's play.I had no choice but to beg Borzigit to see if I could spare some time and take her with me tomorrow.That night, Mrs. Borzigit wrote back: "Come to me first in the morning, and I will lead you there."

The next day, Shujia took the car and took the girl and mother-in-law out to the old lady's place.Fu Dali and Qingde escorted the chariot, but they didn't bring Guanyin Bao, fearing that it would be unlucky for the young ones entering the funeral.In fact, the funeral is over, but these two are careful, for fear that something unexpected will happen and they will not be able to explain to their parents.

First went to Dong'e's house, met Mrs. Borzigit, and got in the car together to go to Chani's house.

Chani also has a mansion in Beijing, but now it looks quite deserted, with a state funeral and a family member who died, the atmosphere is quite dignified.Brother Fu Dali stopped the horse at the door, and the boy stepped forward to call the door, reported his identity, and the steward came to take care of him.Fu Dali went to negotiate, Qingde watched his sister's car enter the door, and the woman inside took over, then turned around and went in with Fu Dali.

Shujia was taken in by the women, passed the Chuihua Gate, and then turned around a building, secretly said: "Everyone's houses look the same these days, and the idea of ​​trampling on one family is enough."

When I got to the door of Hesheli's main room, I saw a group of people standing under the verandah, and they could be divided into several groups according to their clothes.I only heard the human voice inside: "Come here." I went in and looked, according to the clothes, the person sitting on the main seat should be Hesheli, and I don't know the person sitting opposite her.The other one sitting on the top chair is even more unknown.

The Borzigit family knew that the one sitting opposite the Hesheli family was Tong Jia, the wife of her natal sister-in-law Suo'etu, and the one who attacked was also the Hesheli family, the daughter of Suo'etu, and the wife of a scholar. The dark cloud bead of Hao Ruixian.Because Suo'etu and his wife had lost their daughter, they named it Wuyunzhu in order to live a long life.

At that moment, Mrs. Borzigit introduced three people to Shujia, and especially said that Wu Yunzhu was a talented woman.Then she said to the three people: "This is the granddaughter of our third sister." A prayer mat was placed on the ground, and Shujia stepped forward to kowtow to Hesheli.

Tong Jiashi kept looking at Shujia, but Wu Yunzhu just looked at her and didn't speak.After kowtowing, he salutes Tong Jiashi again and sees Wu Yunzhu again.Tong Jia said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we can be regarded as relatives, but it's a pity that there are so many things on weekdays that we don't see each other. I didn't know there was such a beautiful girl here." Wu Yunzhu said: "Don't talk about my mother, I don't know You know, our master is still a courtier with her Ama."

Shujia said: "It wasn't my turn to come out to show my face. It's justified that you haven't seen me. It's just because the old lady of the fourth uncle came back, and my mother-in-law went to the post with Ama, and the sister-in-law at home was sick. So I had the cheek to ask the seventh uncle and old lady to bring it here." Then he blessed Hesheli and apologized.

Because of Tong Jia's illness, Wen Du's, Shujia said: "I don't understand it, I just said that I need to rest. Well, I will have a nephew next year." Several women realized.Shujia donated her needle and thread to Hershey again, and Borzigit couldn't help saying that Shujia was skillful, so they talked about the needle and thread again.

Tong Jia said: "Good needlework is rare these days." Hesheli said: "This girl's needlework is much finer than when we were young."

The expression on Wu Yunzhu's face was always indifferent, Shujia thought, maybe all talented women are a little bit out of this world.But it's hard to say, Wu Yunzhu's aunt has not recovered from the pain of losing her husband, and it's not easy for a niece to sing and laugh.Shujia couldn't sit still anymore, the three of them were probably talking privately, and it seemed that she was disturbing her by coming here.

Just as she was thinking about how to resign, it was said that Fu Dali and Qingde were going to leave, Shujia stood up and said goodbye: "My sister-in-law is sick and there is no one to take care of her at home, so I have to go back. Linlai sister-in-law also said that she can get out of bed during the Chinese New Year Kowtow again." Mrs. Borzigit stood up and said, "I brought him here, and I have to send it back as it is."

Seeing people leave, Hershey asked: "How is it?" Tong Jia smiled: "She is a well-behaved girl." From the moment she entered the door, Tong Jia was evaluating, obviously the rules are trained, including speaking tone of voice.She even looked at the maid who came in with Shujia: "It's a girl from a well-behaved family. What do you think?" This is asking her daughter.

Wu Yunzhu said: "He behaves well, he seems to be well-educated." He fiddled with the purse, looking at the pattern, "The needlework is also elegant."

Because it was at Chani's house, Shujia didn't want to say much to Borzigit, she just said: "It's hard work, you make this trip more." Borzigit said: "I don't listen to the air , bring me two boxes of the bean noodle rolls and Su Ye pastry from last time."

Shujia smiled and said, "I'll make it for you when I go back home."

In the car, Hongxiu whispered to Shujia: "Girl, Master Suo's wife has been staring at people, it's scary."

Shujia said: "They are talking, let's disturb them." She muttered in her heart, Tong Jia's eyes were full of evaluation, what was she evaluating?

I haven't figured it out yet, I'm home.When I came back, I told Wen Dushi that everything was fine: "The wife of Suoxiang, the wife of the University of Yida, came after sitting for a while. There is nothing else to do." A little expressed.

Wen Du's said: "This is Changli. I can't move around during and outside of the year. I need you to come forward. I have to work for the elders. Also, the uncle of the fourth old man's family also needs to ask for relatives to move around. I want my aunt to call you to join me." Shujia said: "I almost forgot, I will do it tomorrow."

Wen Dushi said: "That's good."

After eating some snacks, I skipped the afternoon nap, checked the gifts sent to Shi Wenbing's mother's house, added two points to Borzigit's family, and had gifts from Wendu's natal family, Sirut's natal family, etc. Shi Wenying came to salute.Thanks to Shi Lin, Shi Wenbing and other outsiders' gifts, Wen Dushi was already ready to send them away because they had to leave time on the road.

Just having a headache, Zhuangzi came to deliver new year's goods again. One year's harvest and discounted silver taels were reconciled with the outside account and then handed over to the inside for disposal.Desperate.

Before Shujia could find Guan Shi, Guan Shi sent someone here first.

It was the end of the year, and the Empress Dowager had a lot of people there. Because her husband was serving as an imperial bodyguard, Guan had to be summoned by the Empress Dowager. Speaking of relatives, the Empress Dowager thought of Shujia again.

"It's been a long time since I saw that girl, bring her here tomorrow to see if she has grown taller again."

God!Don't use child labor like this!
