Reborn Little Carpenter

The setting sun was setting to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the roofs of the houses in Feng'an County.A woman's faint sigh came from the official house with the doors and windows half-closed, and immediately a man's voice asked, "Why is Wanniang sighing?"

The man who spoke was You Yuanliang, the literary scholar of Feng'an County, and the Wanniang he was talking about was his wife Lin Wanniang.

Lin Wanniang heard his question and said: "My husband, you know that today the prefect's wife sent someone to send a post, inviting the official's family members to go to the prefect's mansion to enjoy the flowers."

You Yuanliang nodded: "I've also heard about this. I heard that the chrysanthemums in the prefect's mansion bloom extremely beautifully. Appreciating chrysanthemums in autumn is also an elegant thing."

"What my husband said is true. I just thought that there would be no such banquet this year. Ning'er and I don't have suitable clothes. I'm afraid that my husband will lose face when all the ladies and wives of the officials gather together that day."

"It's a trivial matter. Didn't you just get your salary? Take it and buy new clothes for you and Ning'er."

"This……"

"Ma'am, what's the problem?"

"Hey, I'm confused. You also know that Ning'er has always loved reading. The day before yesterday, I met a bookstore with my daughter on the street. There was a new book in it. I saw that my daughter liked it, so I bought a copy, but now I don't have any spare money to buy clothes. .”

"This……"

Outside the door, You Ning, who had heard her father come back excitedly to share the good books she had read, heard the conversation between her father and mother, and the smile on her face disappeared. She stood by the door with her head down. Mother's words are still going on.

You Yuanliang sighed: "Hey, it's all because of my incompetent husband. I have been an official for so many years and I am still a small county scholar. In addition to maintaining the family's expenses, I have no spare money to buy clothes and jewelry for my wife and daughter. , made you suffer."

Lin Wanniang immediately retorted: "Husband, why should you be so presumptuous? Husband treats me and Ning'er very well, and our current life is much better than ordinary people."

"But this banquet was originally because of me. You and Ning'er had no choice but to go. Let alone my face now, if the two of you are wronged because of this, how can I be willing?"

Union could not listen any longer.She ran back to her room with the book in her arms and closed the door, leaning against the door and covering her mouth so as not to cry out.She held the edge of the book with both hands and gritted her teeth to tear it off, but she didn't give up after several times of force.

She leaned against the door panel weakly, her hand holding the storybook drooping.At this moment, how she wished she could be like Cinderella in the story.A fairy with magic skills came to help her. She didn't want to win the prince's love. She just wanted to not lose face to his parents at the chrysanthemum appreciation feast that day.

There was a knock on the door from behind: "Ning'er is out for dinner."

When You Ning heard his mother's voice, he immediately stopped crying, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.Clearing his throat, he raised his voice and replied, "Here we are."

You Ning tidied herself up, and when she came to the dining room again, her parents were already sitting there waiting for her, and You Ning raised a smile: "Daddy is back, is everything going well in the Yamen today?"

You Yuanliang twirled his beard and smiled, "Smooth and smooth, I just miss my family Ning'er very much."

You Ning sat beside her father and said, "Ning'er misses her father too."

Lin Wanniang picked up a chopstick dish for each of their father and daughter, and joked with a smile: "It's just that I haven't seen each other for a day, you two think about it like this, if you don't know, you think it's a year."

You Yuanliang laughed loudly, and You Ning also narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the family of three had dinner in this pleasant atmosphere.

On the second day, Lin Wanniang approached You Ning enthusiastically: "Ning'er, tomorrow I'm going to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet at the prefect's mansion, let's go, my mother will take you out to buy some new clothes. My daughter is so beautiful, let's dress up again." Maybe it's more beautiful than the flowers in the prefect's mansion."

You Ning said: "Mom, I haven't worn the clothes I made last year. They are still new, so I don't need to buy new clothes."

"Last year's clothes are out of fashion, how can you wear them to a banquet? Go for a walk, go with your mother." Lin Wanniang said to pull Yuning's hand.

You Ning felt something strange when he touched her mother's hand, just about to lift up a little sleeve to check, her mother immediately withdrew her hand.

You Ning looked at her mother in shock and asked, "Mother! Where's your dowry bracelet?"

Wanniang staggered her eyes and didn't dare to look at her: "Oh, the weather is getting cold, so I put it away because I think it's cold." You Ning's eyes dimmed for a moment, then he shook Lin Wanniang's arm and said coquettishly to her: "Mother , I have long thought that the bracelet is pretty tight, if mother doesn’t want to wear it, let Ning’er wear it for a day first, okay?”

Lin Wanniang's body stiffened for a moment, and then said: "The bracelet is too old-fashioned and not suitable for your age. If you want the bracelet mother to take you to the street to buy it for you."

You Ning felt a pang in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'm kidding, wearing this bracelet is not convenient for writing, so I don't want it."

Lin Wanniang breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen to you, it's getting late, let's go out quickly."

Lin Wanniang turned her head and saw a tear hanging from the corner of You Ning's eye, she immediately became nervous: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Hearing this, You Ning raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eyes, staring blankly at the water on his hand and said: "Mother, I didn't cry, maybe the wind was too strong just now, and I lost my eyes."

Wanniang said nervously, "Let me see."

Lin Wanniang checked her eyes, then blew softly into her eyes, stepped back and asked, "Is it better?"

You Ning nodded quickly: "It's much better. Didn't you say you want to go to the street? Let's go now." Then he walked out holding Lin Wanniang's arm.

After walking a few steps, Wanniang was still worried: "If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell your mother, don't bear it by yourself."

You Ning shook her arm and said coquettishly: "I know mother."

The mother and daughter went to the tailor shop in the next street.This shop is relatively close to the official house, and there are rumors that it is the shop of the prefect's daughter-in-law, so many official ladies will come here to buy clothes.

This time, because the magistrate's wife widely posted an invitation to the government's wives to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, the shop was even more overcrowded, and the four or five dressed ladies in the shop couldn't greet them.

Wanniang You Ning walked into the door, and the dressed lady at the door saw them and only had time to say: "Two guests, just take a look, let me know if you like anything." Then she was called to get the clothes.

This year's latest clothes are hung in the most conspicuous place in the shop.Regardless of the color, style, and fabric, they are all high-quality, and hanging there makes people have the urge to buy.

Lin Wanniang walked over to have a look, and asked the dressed lady beside her, "How much money does this one cost?"

The lady in clothes said a price, and Lin Wanniang put down her hand in embarrassment. Although she knew it would not be cheap, she did not expect it to be so expensive. It was almost her husband's salary for several years.

A gorgeously dressed lady from the official family looked at her contemptuously, raised her chin and said to the dressed lady beside her, "I want this one."

The lady in clothes immediately said: "Okay, I will wrap it up for you."

Then she smiled and gestured to Lin Wanniang: "This madam?"

Lin Wanniang hurriedly backed away to let her take the clothes.

The dressed lady said politely: "Thank you, madam."

As soon as Lin Wanniang turned her head, she saw her daughter staring at a place in a daze. She walked over and asked, "Does Ning'er have a fancy?"

You Ning came back to his senses, pointed to a light blue skirt in the corner and said embarrassedly: "What do you think of that one?"

Lin Wanniang walked in and looked it up, and said, "It's good-looking, but it's just a little dull."

The clothes that people wear nowadays can't wait to pile up all the colors on them. The more colors, the brighter they are, the more luxurious and honorable they will appear.The Ru skirt that You Ning had a crush on was only light blue and white, which is indeed a little dull in the eyes of people nowadays.

When You Ning heard her mother's words, she lowered her eyes in disappointment. She also knew that the dress was not bright enough, but when she first saw it, she immediately thought of Weaver Girl's flight.Those fairies in the sky should be dressed like this, but she silently said to herself: Don't be self-willed anymore, Yuning.

Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, she smiled and said to Lin Wanniang, "Madam, help me choose one."

Lin Wanniang didn't know her daughter, she clearly wanted her because of her appearance, Lin Wanniang thought about it and called the dressed lady beside her: "How much is this dress?"

The lady in the dress was a little surprised, and then said apologetically, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask first." It's because this dress has been neglected for a long time and she can't remember the price.

The dressed lady came back soon and quoted a price.Lin Wanniang could afford the price.This is because this dress is not suitable for wearing to attend the banquet of the prefect's wife. If you buy this one, the remaining money will only be enough to buy one.

Lin Wanniang turned her head and looked into her daughter's shining eyes. Although she tried her best to conceal it, she could still see the hidden expectation inside. Lin Wanniang gritted her teeth: "We want this one."

The lady in clothes immediately said happily: "Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right now."

You Ning's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised and then quickly pressed down: "Is the money in my mother's family enough?"

Seeing that she was happy, Lin Wanniang was also happy: "Enough, don't worry." Then she picked another dress for You Ning to attend the banquet.

Going to the counter to check out, You Ning was taken aback: "Mother, won't you buy it for yourself?"

Wan Niang said with a smile: "My mother is already this old, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, it will be the same. As long as I am Ning'er, it will be fine."

You Ning was taken aback, pushed away the clothes on the counter and said, "Then I don't want it either."

Lin Wanniang feigned anger and said, "Nonsense, wouldn't it be impolite for you to go to the banquet without wearing new clothes?"

You Ning looked at her stubbornly: "Anyway, if my mother doesn't want me, then I don't want it."

Lin Wanniang sighed and said, "Ning'er, the money Mother brought out today is only enough to buy two pieces."

You Ning gritted his teeth, dragged another dress back, pointed to the light blue one and said, "Then return this one."

Lin Wanniang said helplessly, "But this one is what you like..."

Yuning lowered his head and said nothing.

The two did not give in to each other, and in the end You Ning left the light blue Confucian uniform, and chose a new dress for Lin Wanniang before finishing.

After reaching a consensus, the two looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the other party was for each other, and it was a beautiful scene of a loving mother and daughter in the world. Suddenly, a sneer came from the side: "Why do poor ghosts buy new clothes?"

Lin Wanniang held down You Ning who was about to come forward to argue, as if she didn't hear the man's words, she smiled and said to the lady in the shop: "Please hurry up."

Seeing that he had hit the cotton with his fist, the man felt bored, snorted coldly and walked away with his head held high.

Lin Wanniang glanced at her, turned her head and poked You Ning's forehead fondly, and said helplessly, "You."
