Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 29 Punishment

As punishment for Jin Hua's mistake, Sun chose to make her kneel without thinking too much.

"It's been warm recently, you can go to the pavilion in the garden as female celebrities, Jinhua has to kneel, and others are free to kneel until... until the next time it rains and it's inconvenient to go outside to be female celebrities. And , this month Jinhua's monthly schedule and snacks are cancelled, and three meals are not allowed to eat more than three bowls of rice."

Jin Hua didn't think it was a big deal when she first heard about kneeling punishment, even if the monthly fee was deducted, she couldn't find a chance to spend her money anyway, but it's a bit cruel to limit the amount of food she eats. I knew that when Mrs. Sun was looking for her yesterday, she She should have come out instead of running away when she finds something.Relying on her hunting experience in the woods yesterday, she avoided the search of the people in the house.But if she knew that she would be restricted from eating, she would immediately admit her mistake to Mrs. Sun obediently.

In fact, this is not the most ruthless thing. She never expected that the dim sum in the next few days would be made by Mrs. Sun herself. There are meat buns, dumplings, and steamed meat with glutinous rice... In short, they are all her favorite things.Originally, they wanted to save their dim sum for Jin Hua's two younger sisters, but they failed. Now the portion of dim sum is fixed, and if it is a meat bun, each person can only get one.Zhuhua also wanted to secretly give half of the bun to Jinhua, but as soon as the bun was torn open, the smell of meat gushing out immediately shook her.She hasn't had enough food these days, and the pastries and so on are bought at cheap places in the house. She has long been tired of eating, and Wang Momo stared at them eating snacks again. I don't want to eat.

The meat buns are different. This is the meat bun that she only ate a few times in the past five years. It is the stuffing that Mrs. Sun made herself, with enough green onion and garlic added in, which is slightly better than the one made by the cook in the house in the morning. The light meat buns are much more delicious.It has to be said that Mrs. Sun is very good at cooking all kinds of meat. It tastes very delicious, and the gravy is full and not oily.

Just when she felt that Sun's meat buns were really delicious, she ate all the buns in her hand, even Zhuhua, who has become more and more particular about her food recently, did the same.After eating, the two tacitly avoided Jin Hua's resentful gaze, sat for a while and drank a cup of tea.

But Jin Hua was obviously worried about this matter, and asked quietly when they were drinking tea: "Meat buns, is it delicious?"

"Okay...it's still delicious." Yinhua stammered.

Even Zhuhua, who was always clever, just smiled dryly and looked at Wang Momo begging for help.At this moment, Nanny Wang was watching and pretending not to know anything.Sun's punishment was severe enough, and it seemed to be extremely effective. She even felt a little pitiful for Jin Hua.

Mrs. Sun may not know the weather in Chang'an, but she does. The four seasons of the year are a little more rainy in summer and autumn, and other times it rarely rains and is very dry. Jinhua probably needs to kneel for half a month. .Ten days later, there was a drizzle, and the three of them used the excuse that it had rained and it was too cold outside to sit for a long time, so they changed the place where they worked as female workers back to indoors, and Jin Hua's kneeling as a punishment was over.

After this trouble, the three continued to learn from Nanny Wang with peace of mind.The Sun family began to worry about Qingming, and now they are all in Chang'an, and no one cares about the tomb at home.Mrs. Sun had said this when she first arrived in Cheng's mansion. It was impossible to move the grave, and Cheng Dashan didn't want to move his parents' tomb casually.The Cheng family, who fled the famine 20 years ago, only had their parents' tombs at home, and even he didn't want to move them, let alone the Sun family.

The Sun family is a big family living in the local area. The tomb of Sun's parents is now entrusted to the patriarch of the Sun family. In the past, she would send gifts there during the New Year.She had originally thought about adopting a child from the clan to be her younger brother, and she had even inquired about a few good children, but at that time her family didn't have much savings and had to save a dowry for the younger one, and she didn't have any money left to marry him. Parents negotiate.It's different now, she is the wife of the Cheng family, and with a monthly bill of 20 taels, she can't spend more than ten taels a month, and it is enough to spend dozens of taels of silver to adopt a child in the countryside.

It's just that in this way, this matter has to be handled by someone who is in charge. She wants to go in person, but the housekeeper said that she can't leave Chang'an City when her husband is away. Everyone has to abide by this rule.Afterwards she inquired carefully, and knew that this rule was for the general's wife and son-in-law, and there was no requirement for the daughter-in-law, so she handed the matter over to Jin Hua.She is already 12 years old, and she has been helping the Sun family in the past. Jin Hua also knows that she wants to adopt a child for her grandfather, so it is appropriate for her to come forward.

Now that she had decided, she immediately called Jin Hua over and asked her what she meant.Thinking of going out or traveling far away, Jin Hua readily agreed.She was really bored, Chang'an City was extremely boring, far less fun than the mountains.Mrs. Sun explained the matter of adoptiveness in detail. Apart from following her, she also picked a steward and a servant to accompany her at home. With Uncle Li and Aunt Li, it is estimated that nothing will happen.

Jinhua went there for more than a month, if it wasn't for Uncle Li who couldn't let go of the things in the village and urged her, she probably would have stayed longer.After she came back, she went to tell Mrs. Sun about the adoption first. Mrs. Sun had already learned something from the letter sent before her, and she was very puzzled, so she waited for her to come back and explain the matter clearly.

After the servant left, she asked anxiously: "Why did you stay for so long before returning? How did you adopt the third uncle's family?"

"I also went to see the family that my mother ordered before. One was begging for life in the hands of my stepmother. Life was not good. When I heard that we wanted to adopt, the family would charge 100 taels, and the child was in his teens. I can't even fight back after being beaten. I don't think they are able to stand up to the family; the others are too young. Although my mother can take them to the capital to raise them for a few years, Uncle Li and Aunt Li said that the children have arrived. I'm afraid the capital is too dazzled to go back. Our adoption is to find someone who will add soil to the graves of our grandparents. If that person refuses to stay in his hometown, what's the use of adoption. I wanted to look for it again. The honest and poor people in the village are always older than me. I happened to meet a little cousin of my grandfather’s family on the way down the mountain from the tomb. He was only three or four years old but dared to walk up the mountain with an arrow. I asked. Knowing that my uncle was injured while hunting, he has been lying in bed for more than a month, and all the money in the family has been spent..."

Sun did know that this cousin was called Sun Shitou, but she didn't know if his name was that.He is the second son of Uncle Santang's family, and he has not been favored very much since he was a child.Later, during the war and conscription, Uncle San Tang's family reported him.He came back after two years with a broken leg, and his family thought he was a burden and wanted to separate him.But he was not married and it was difficult to separate, so the family inquired everywhere to marry him a cheap wife, and later found out about a silly girl.As soon as Sun Shitou heard that he would agree, he ran to the mountain in a fit of anger.Others thought that he could not live long in the mountains because of his poor legs and feet, but he did not expect him to live well by hunting. In the year Zhuhua was born, he went down the mountain to marry a little widow who was ravaged by mountain bandits.

When his family heard it, they actually stopped him and refused. They insisted on letting him marry his sister-in-law who was harassed, and asked him to take out the money from marrying the little widow to give his brother a new one.Naturally, Sun Shitou refused, he was stupid, but the little widow he had admired for a long time was very powerful.Her man died of a sudden illness, and the mother-in-law said that she was the one to die, and she was dragged so hard that she was not allowed to remarry.Later bandits came, and her mother-in-law died. Although she suffered a lot, she was able to remarry, but how could she get a good family like her.It seems that Sun Shitou is the one who sleeps the most. It would be best if he could get into trouble with the family, lest she suffer from her mother-in-law again.

The two immediately became relatives, officially separated from the Sun family, and went to the patriarch to write a letter, and never communicated again and again.Mrs. Sun heard about this at the time, and said that this daughter-in-law was well married, and that she should have such a daughter-in-law who would be angry with those unscrupulous uncles in Santang's family.Originally, the two still lived on the mountain, but after the little widow became pregnant with a child, they moved down from the mountain and lived in a thatched hut by the side of the village.

Uncle San Tang knew about it, and went to make trouble every now and then, and almost scared the little widow to give birth. Sun Shitou was so angry that he came to the house and beat his younger brother, and said that if something happened to his daughter-in-law, he would let his younger brother be buried with him.He can't do anything to his elder brother and parents, he can only stare at his younger brother, and his younger brother is not really innocent, he has done a lot of things to encourage his parents to take advantage of the autumn wind.After several beatings, the Sun family did not dare to come again, but Sun Shitou's reputation was also damaged.

A few years ago, the little widow gave birth to a son, who has been ill ever since.Their family's life has always been poor. If even Sun Shitou is injured now, the family's life may really be difficult.
