Mother...what happened to her?
Zheng Yan's eyes were red from crying. Zheng Yuan dragged her sister out of the house and walked face to face with Li Qiu Sui who stepped through the courtyard door.
Zheng Yuan came over with a smile on her face and said, "Sui Sui, I asked you to come here for nothing. My mother didn't have a good rest last night. She was out of energy early in the morning. She will take a rest now! You go to our place to play." Yes, we will come over together tomorrow."
"How is your aunt? Apart from being mentally weak, is there anything else wrong?"
Li Qiu Sui pretended not to notice that the two sisters had cried. Zheng Yan's eye circles were still red at this moment. She turned sideways and twisted her face to avoid looking at anyone. Zheng Yuan was obviously forcing a smile.
To avoid embarrassment, Li Qiu Sui was sensible enough not to question others, but just followed the conversation and paid attention to Mrs. Zheng's health, which was considered human nature.
Zheng Yuan's smile did not change, "It's okay. You should be refreshed after a long rest. I just made your trip in vain."
"I originally planned to come over to pay my respects to my aunt, but I got up late from sleeping in."
Since Mrs. Zheng was taking a break, Li Qiusui stopped talking about this topic and walked out while talking.
Zheng Yuan was relieved when she saw this. When people saw the two sisters in such a mess, she was trying to keep up her energy to speak. Her mother was not in a stable mood, and her appearance at this moment was really unsightly!
This girl is smart, she should have noticed something, and her words were just right, and she calmly helped them out. No wonder the mother, Sister Yan, has lost her temper and behaved inappropriately and innocently!
The three of them walked out in front and back.
Zheng Yuan followed Li Qiu Sui's words and said, "Why are my family so particular? You are still young and you should sleep more. I heard from Sister Hui that you went out yesterday? But what happened?"
Li Qiu Sui said: "It's a rare break. Yesterday I went to the east of the city to see the house given by the Guo family. I didn't write a word in the homework assigned by the teacher! Tomorrow, in front of so many people, I will be handed over by the teacher. You'll be forced to stand and get slapped on the hand, but you'll be very embarrassed!"
He looked very annoyed.
Zheng Yuan laughed.
Even Zheng Yan, who had red eyes, twitched the corners of her lips, barely revealing her dimples, and sniffed: "Then go quickly, it will hurt when Mr. Dong hits someone with a wooden board!"
Li Qiusui breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't see Zheng Yan crying!
Waving his hands, he led Cuiping away.
The two sisters were not in a hurry to move and watched Li Qiusui's master and servant leave.
Zheng Yuan said to her sister, "Do you know why mother is angry?"
Zheng Yan lowered her head, "I failed to live up to expectations and embarrassed my mother!"
But she was born not as smart as her elder sister and brother Ying. She got a headache when she read a book, and her wrists hurt when she practiced big calligraphy. It was not to cope with the homework assigned by her husband. She didn’t want to write a single big calligraphy. Slipping away was all the result of her hard work.
My mother used to comfort her by saying that it was enough to know the Chinese characters and she didn't need to take the exams for fame. What would she do with such good knowledge?
Why did he change his mind overnight?
Zheng Yan burst into tears again...
He was still standing at the door of Madam Zheng's courtyard, with so many servants coming and going.
Zheng Yuan hurriedly wiped her sister's face, grabbed her and left. She whispered to her, "Mother is the mistress and manages the entire Zheng family's affairs every day. When my father comes to his house, she has to serve him. We also need our mother to worry about you. You When the adults are not in a bad mood, we are daughters, so we can’t say harsh words?”
Yes, of course!
Ayu was often scolded by her mother, and she cried countless times in front of her.
Zheng Yan sniffed and said, "Mom has never been cruel to me!"
Her mother wasn’t like this before!
Zheng Yuan wiped her sister's tears again, "In the past, when we were young and ignorant, we let my mother worry about it, but we can't do this anymore! You see, we have only been in school for a few days, and we didn't do well in any of our homework, but we never fell behind others. , you played well with her, but have you ever heard her complain!"
Zheng Yan shook her head, "She is the same as you and Brother Ying. They learn things easily and can learn them at a glance. They are both extremely smart people."
Smart people learn things quickly, but she can't...
Seeing my sister drooping her head, I knew she was getting into trouble!
Zheng Yuan sighed.
He personally sent the person back to the courtyard and asked Zheng Yan to help wash his face.
Zheng Yuan stopped talking about the previous topic, "Let's go to Sui Sui's mother's place together in the afternoon. I haven't finished my homework yet!"
Zheng Yan groaned, "I haven't finished it either!"
Finally forgot to cry!
Zheng Yuan looked very anxious and walked out, saying: "Hurry up then! Don't wait until you really get hit!"
It was rare to see her sister like this, so Zheng Yan smiled and raised her hand to order someone to serve the pen and ink.
…
…
Li Qiusui was really worried about his schoolwork. Although he had the purpose of changing the topic at that time, he had to go to Mrs. Zheng's place in the afternoon. His schoolwork was still quite old, so he didn't have much time.
Cuiping laid out the pen and ink and stood to Li Qiusui's right hand to help grind it.
Li Qiusui put aside his distracting thoughts, picked up his pen, and wrote large characters unexpectedly smoothly.
Completed in one go, a sheet of writing was filled, and the green screen was taken to the side to dry.
After finishing the twenty large characters given by his teacher, Li Qiusui put down his pen and looked back at the written large characters. He found it much more pleasing to the eye.
"Cuiping, do you think my handwriting is getting better and better?"
"The girl's handwriting has always been very good!"
Li Qiusui sighed, she shouldn't say this to someone who has never mentioned a pen before.
"You and Cuizhu will also practice calligraphy starting tomorrow."
Learn to read and write but not write. By the time the number of characters increases, you will have almost forgotten everything you learned earlier.
Cuiping said, "Cuizhu and I also practiced calligraphy by scratching on the ground. We haven't forgotten what the girl taught us."
"Practice calligraphy and write on paper with a brush."
Pens, ink and paper are so expensive!
Cuiping waved her hands hurriedly, "We just scratch and pull it on the ground a few times, there is no need for that thing."
The little pen, ink and paper they received in the yard were barely enough for the girls to complete their homework.
Li Qiusui wanted to go out and buy some. From the bookstore she went to last time, she bought the cheaper ones at Cuiping, which was just right for the two of them to practice calligraphy.
Considering that there was less than one tael of silver in her pocket, she still stuffed it into her pocket when Cuizhu went out in the morning.
"Cuiping, go to Yang... my master and ask Xiaolu to come over."
Regarding the matter of recognizing the master, Cuiping heard from Cuizhu that Xiaolu brought a stack of medical books to the girl yesterday and said a few words, so he naturally knew the person.
Cuiping responded and ran out.
Li Qiusui found more than a dozen small porcelain bottles the size of his thumb and put the health-preserving pills that Doctor Yang used to grow into, one by one. There was only one pill in each bottle.
Tuo Qingheng bought these from outside. They were large and small porcelain vases with different patterns and colors. He bought a bagful of them in one go.
The gadgets that I gave to Cuizhu before, without thinking too much, were all made of porcelain bottles that could hold the largest size of Qi Ba Wan.
Now if we expect this money exchanger to act so recklessly, things will seem too cheap.
This kind of pill is not difficult to make, and the medicinal materials are not rare, but the technique and effectiveness are the key. I don't plan to sell it at a low price. Put one pill in one bottle, and get a few bottles first.
After thinking about it, he put the pills for cough and high fever into the same porcelain bottle, which also contained only one pill.
Li Qiusui stopped here and Cuiping came in, followed by Xiaolu.
Xiaolu saluted and said, "Miss, the master left early this morning."
