With Su Xinyu's "random drawing", Madam Liu and Madam Su had become a little tricky. Right now, the two of them were just waiting for the 15th Lantern Festival to end and begin the embroidery ceremony. Not only because of the money, but also because of a woman's instinctive love for these good things.
But fifteen was still very important. In her previous life, Su Xinyu had basically not had a good time on this day. This day's Royal Kitchen was usually spent in bustle. Therefore, since she was young, she had never enjoyed the treatment of the fifteenth day of the first month at the lantern festival. She had finally made it to the Lantern Festival in ancient times, so she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Hearing that his daughter wanted to go to the county to see the lanterns, Madam Su was also very moved. However, she really didn't go out at night. Furthermore, at such a late hour, she must have stayed in the county city. She felt very unsafe.
Madam Liu felt that the little girl's wish had to be fulfilled. Thus, she made a decision and instructed Madam Su to prepare the dried wolves and bring the clothes. The three of them left the Two-boundary Village early that morning and rushed to Shang An County.
After putting on the new clothes, Su Xinyu followed the two elders like a little child. At the same time, Madam Soong and Gou Zi also entered the city, along with the Madam Zhang of the Village Head's house. The one driving the carriage was Lao Er Tian, the father of Madam Soong's husband, Gou Zi. Because of Tian Er's company, this made the Village Head feel more at ease. After all, a group of women and children couldn't be at ease without a man around.
Before the donkey cart left the village, there were already people who wanted to take a ride. And this person, Madam Soong, did not want to give it away.
"Screech!" His aunt Yang. You went to the city to see the lanterns? " Madam Soong knew the Yang family's character, in the whole village their mouth was the most wicked. If she were to admit she was number two, no one would dare to claim themselves as number one. It had a different personality from the Madam Wang. This Mistress Yang would pretend to be weak. Even though the entire village had known of her character over time, she still put on a front so that those who didn't want to waste their time with her wouldn't talk to her.
This Yang family had spread the word before. That Zhou Sanlang must have had a lover outside, that's why he didn't want to come back. They even said that the Chow Dalang took care of this younger brother and sister. A beautiful young daughter-in-law like her, who lived under the same roof as him, how could she not have any thoughts? Otherwise, how could the Madam Wang treat the mother and daughter pair like that?
Though everyone in the village knew what she was like. However, there would always be people who liked to chew on the back of their hands when they couldn't stand it. So if it wasn't for the fact that no one in Madam Liu dared to offend her, the two daughter-in-laws of the Doctor Tian family would be protecting the mother and daughter of the Madam Su. Some of them who had been envious of the Madam Su for a long time would probably go over to her ear to make sarcastic remarks.
Even so, Madam Su did not live in a vacuum, so he had still heard some of these gossip. The first time she heard it. He hid and cried for a long time. It was even Madam Liu and Madam Ping who advised her against it. After that, the Madam Liu scolded the Yang family in front of everyone. She even forced the Yang family's man, Yang Xiaowu, to go to the village chief's house, saying that the Yang family wanted to ruin his reputation as a chastity arch. Otherwise, why would they slander his Madam Su?
After that, Mrs. Yang was thrown back to her parents' home for two months. After that, the nonsense also stopped. No one dared to speak anymore. As a result, they didn't expect that the Yang family would dare to step forward.
The Yang family listened to Madam Soong's words. Immediately, she smiled, "That's right. Once a year, there was only one lantern festival, so she had to go and take a look. You guys are so big, yet you only have this many people sitting in your cars? "How about …"
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Madam Soong interrupted, "Where are you going? We'll have to pick up some people from the next village. As you know, my parents don't have a lot of people, but they don't have enough space in the car. Otherwise, Aunt Lai would have been on her way. Then we won't delay your journey, Aunt. Boss, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and drive. "It's alright if we delay picking someone up, but it's a big deal if we delay Aunt Yang's trip."
When he could not see the Yang family's figure, Madam Su relaxed a little: "She did not achieve her goal, so going back will definitely cause another commotion. "Who knows how we're going to arrange it."
Madam Soong snorted, "Am I afraid of her? When I called her my aunt, who was she to me? If you dare to say we are wrong, I'll go and tear her apart! "
The two wives of the Tian Clan. Madam Ping was an honest, straightforward person. But if you anger her, then that person will dare to go all out against you. The Madam Soong, on the other hand, did not even suffer a small loss. If the Yang family really dared to speak ill of each other, she would definitely keep her word. Hearing her words, the depressed feeling from before became much better. Better be careful. A villain like her. "
The adults talked about the adults. Su Xinyu was more concerned about the things they said. However, she had to "deal" with all sorts of care from Dogman. So even though she was also thinking about that Yang family, she still had to get rid of that sweet biscuit that Gou Zi forced on her. Brother Gou Zi, I'll split half of it with you. I can't eat that much. Furthermore, Mom said that eating outside would make one's stomach hurt, and eating outside would make one's stomach ache. "
Dogman immediately covered his mouth and said, "Covering your mouth will stop you from choking on the food."
"Pfft!" Madam Soong was amused by his son's silly look. Even though her father-in-law and her husband had previously said that it was impossible for the little girl to have a son of their own. However, she liked the little girl, and she also felt that her son liked the little girl, so he was more willing to not have them stick together. After all, the relationship between the two childhood friends was the most profound. Even if his son was unable to be with his daughter in the future, but before that, with his daughter in front of him, his son would have to put in a lot of effort in order to get a daughter-in-law like her.
Thus, when the time was right, the Madam Soong would always teach his son like this: "Look at you. Neither of them knew as much as the little girl. How could he still be her big brother? "Shameful."
Su Xinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But she also understood that this was a common way of education used by many parents. Always use someone else's child to educate their own child. Although the starting point was not suitable, the choice of the wrong person would affect the relationship between the two children. Fortunately, he was a girl, and Dogman was such a big boy that he could see that there was a male chauvinist. He definitely wouldn't argue with her, so their relationship didn't really matter. However, when it came to feelings, they were merely playmates. It would never be like what the Madam Soong wanted to achieve. After all, she, Su Xinyu was just an adult in mind. She treated Dogman like a nephew. " Second Aunt Tian, Big Brother Gou Zi is already very powerful. "
Dogman nodded vigorously. "Yes. I'm very strong. I can even catch birds in a cage. Those people in the village aren't as good as me! "
Madam Liu couldn't help but rub Gou Zi's hair. The boys here could have their hair undone and their hair in a bun before they were ten years old. "So, Dogman's hair feels really good when he touches it." No. "Dogman has also learned a lot of words."
Although he had learnt a lot of words. But Dogman really didn't like it. If it wasn't for his mother constantly saying that he was inferior to the little girl, the little girl would have written many words and articles. He wouldn't want to learn. Moreover, he felt that learning from his big brother was especially boring. It was better for the little girl to teach him every time, so he had to remember fast. However, his grandpa said that he was just a kid and couldn't always run over to the girl's house. Thus, he could only barely manage to continue learning from his big brother. The key was that his elder brother was even more unwilling to read and write than him. "Otherwise, why would the academy not run all the way to the mountains?" Grandfather said he wants me to go to school next year. I'll know more when the time comes. "Little girl, when I can read a lot of the words, can I teach you?"
The little boy's self-esteem was also very strong. Although Su Xinyu felt that she really wanted to laugh, on the surface, she still nodded her head very seriously. Wow! That dog brother is amazing. Girl, wait till you learn to teach me. "Brother Gou Zi must learn well!"
Along the way, the young and the old spoke happily. When they arrived at the county town, Tian Er directly dragged everyone to an inn. This inn was opened by a cousin of the same sect from Madam Soong's mother village. Although they had already left the village for the fifth time, they still had to take care of everyone in the village. Because there were many people, and they were all women and children, Tian Er wanted a larger room. He asked for a shared bed. As long as he and his son had a place to sleep. It was also convenient for his wife to rest with the three of them.
After assigning the rooms, Tian Er didn't go shopping with the women. It just so happened that he was going to work in the county city in a year's time. Previously, he had been doing odd jobs in a wood weapon shop, but now, he had gone over to ask the boss if he was needed this year. That's a lot of money in a month.
It took them more than two hours to travel from Two-boundary Village to Shang An County. Fortunately, they left early enough, so by the time they exited the inn, it was still far from the time for lunch. However, Madam Soong and Madam Su still carried the dry rations they had brought with them. Although they were out for a stroll, he told them to spend some money to eat outside. It was obviously impossible.
However, Su Xinyu was really curious about the quality of the restaurants in this county. After all, if she wanted to become rich, her culinary skills were her greatest reliance. Even though she knew very well that in this era, women were usually not allowed to show their faces, that was not absolute. It wasn't like there weren't any women in the family. If others could do it, she could think of a way to manage her future.
But now, the restaurant was closed. Fortunately the Madam Liu doted on her, and asked her if she wanted anything good to eat or fun to eat. She had no interest in the things she played with or the trinkets. On the contrary, she cared a lot about some snacks. Walking from street to end of the street, she carefully calculated. She had seen no less than twenty snacks, but most of them were cakes made from flour. And some dried fruit and dried fruit. It was very cold in the winter, almost no climate difference from the previous life, so fresh fruit in the winter was out of the question. Perhaps the freshest snack was the radish cake.
Su Xinyu's eyes shone as she looked at the radish cake. Madam Su knew that his daughter really wanted to eat it. There were so many girls who were paying attention, but none of them seemed that curious. As a mother, how could she not feel sorry for her daughter? So she went up and bought five carrot cakes. It just so happened that the five of them had one girl. Her Madam Su was a little painful to spend these fifteen minutes, but seeing his daughter's happy appearance, she felt that it was worth it. It was basically embroidering a handkerchief, so she could still earn some money.
