crossing into bastard

After her sister finished cleaning up and entered the house, Yu Cheng put away the beads and was about to go out to the vegetable field. At noon, the sun was shining so hot that her skin hurt from the sun. My sister took scented tea from somewhere and made it for Yu Cheng to bring. Going to drink is also good for quenching thirst. He also carefully told him to hide and rest if it is too hot. After the sun is not so hot, he will go to the vegetable field. Yu Cheng nodded with a smile, took the frame and left.

Yu Cheng didn't go to the vegetable field, but directly went up the mountain. There were honeysuckle flowers in the mountain. Yu Cheng accidentally discovered that it was the time when the honeysuckle was not in bloom, and it was the right time to pick it. and go.

Honeysuckle grows in another mountain. Yucheng can save a lot of time by walking on the small road. Moreover, Yucheng has walked this road no less than a hundred times, so he has already memorized it by heart and calculated the time. After two hours, he still walked fast. Yu Cheng thought about the time, and walked even faster.

There are trees, flowers and plants all over the mountain, and small animals run by from time to time. Yu Cheng looked at the small animals, but what he thought about was braised pork. How long has it been since he ate braised pork?Yu Cheng slowly thought back, thinking that there was another time, on the eldest lady’s birthday, there was a lot of braised pork at home. The doctor was so happy that he rewarded everyone with a mouthful of braised pork. And my sister, I still have the taste of that time in my mouth.

Yucheng climbed over the mountain in a good mood, and there was a sea of ​​honeysuckle in front of him. Yucheng picked the honeysuckle quickly without any hesitation. After half an hour, the frame was full, and Yucheng started to go Walking back, carrying a frame full of honeysuckle on his back, Yu Cheng’s pace accelerated a lot. The way down the mountain was faster than up the mountain. Yu Cheng buried his head and walked straight. Okay, Yucheng ran all the way back to the vegetable field. The green vegetables that had just been dried by the sun were a bit unnerving. Yucheng made a bamboo hole with flowing water, and there was a big puddle under the water flow. less effort.

Just pouring the vegetables in the puddle, Yu Cheng went back to the kitchen to cook. The cook showed off the things the doctor gave her, and the little maids all showed envious expressions, which made the cook even more proud. Seeing Yu Cheng coming in, she twisted Fat buttocks, sat down beside Yu Cheng, and said loudly: "I said, you are also a young master, but look at you, do you look like a young master? You are covered in mud, and you will throw it away if you say it." Madam's face, Madam didn't know why today, she asked you all of a sudden, ouch, this made me dumbfounded, it reminded me that the cook is a young master, and the one who grows flowers It's Miss and Auntie who are doing the laundry."

As soon as the cook's arrival, the little maids in the cook's house were taken aback for a moment, and soon covered their mouths and snickered. The cook sneered: "This is the fate of the young master and miss, and it is the body of a servant who is destined not to have this blessing." For the sake of it, the eldest lady has raised you for almost 18 years. She is also kind-hearted and tolerant. She thinks that she is also the child of the master. I can't let the outside see the joke, and I can't let the outside think that the child of the master does not understand the rules and loses it. Not only does it save face, it also tarnishes the family's reputation."

Yu Cheng felt uneasy, why did the cook just tell him these things when she was doing well?The eldest lady has forgotten them even more, right?How did you remember it?He said in the front that he has no blessings, but later he said that he should not lose face and tarnish his reputation. After all these years, does father still have a reputation to speak of?I'm afraid I've lost all my face and integrity, Aunt Shibafang, not everyone can do it, but this happened so suddenly, Yu Cheng didn't make a sound, waiting for the cook to finish speaking.

Seeing that Yu Cheng didn't speak, the cook obediently waited to hear what she had to say. She couldn't help but feel that as a cook, she had more status than the young master. If someone listened to what she said, the young master would have to bow to her. Thinking of this, the cook couldn't help but raise her voice After a while, he said: "The eldest lady said that starting tomorrow, you and the young lady will stay in the room, so you should read a few big characters carefully, and don't make a big joke without writing your own name, young lady Just learn some embroidery or something in the room, the girl's house, you can't even do needlework, can you still meet people?"

Yu Cheng had a bad premonition in his heart, but seeing the cook standing up and winking at the little maids who were listening to the gossip, Yu Cheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said, "Then my mother What? Do you still want to do laundry?"

The cook laughed and said, "It's really impossible to treat yourself as a young master." Then she stopped laughing and said, "It's none of your mother's business if you learn something? Da Furen wants you to remember that your mother is Da Furen. Not some aunt."

Yu Cheng lowered his head and waited for the cook to arrange the maids to do things. Yu Cheng could feel the ironic eyes of everyone looking at him when he lowered his head. The kitchen suddenly made people feel uncomfortable, and the food was cooked quickly. Thinking about what the cook said, she went back to the dilapidated house in silence, started a new fire to cook porridge, and spread the honeysuckle flowers on the wooden boards. After drying, she took them out to Qing'er and sold them for a little money.

My sister came back with a tired body, her face was as pale as paper, and when she passed by Yu Cheng, she forced a smile at Yu Cheng, entered the room, sat by the bed, staring blankly, her mother was about to come back , Yu Cheng did not go to appease her sister. Looking at her expression, it is estimated that someone told her that she was terrified of unknown things. The sudden change of the eldest lady will not be a sudden whim, nor will it be a sudden discovery of conscience. Well, the eighteenth aunt just entered the door, the seventeenth aunt went crazy and was locked up. The house is still in a mess at this moment, but the eldest lady thinks of them at this time, it is definitely not a good thing.

Yu Cheng was thinking about what the cook said, the young lady learns to embroider for the purpose of getting married, and if she embroiders well, she can have more weight when talking about kissing, and she looks good-looking, and everyone can praise her, while the cook At this time, mother mentioned that they were coming soon, and said that she would let my sister learn embroidery. What else could it be besides talking about kissing?

Said that relatives pay attention to the right family, the elder sister is a concubine, and she is a young lady who has never been taken care of. She is still weak and has stayed in the flower house for more than ten years. No, a woman who was born on the same day has nothing to sell, and it is still difficult to find a good marriage. For a sister like this, can the eldest lady still go all out to find it?Someone else's daughter is 16 years old, even if she is married late, her elder sister is about to die, and the eldest lady has never mentioned it. Now she suddenly asks her elder sister to embroider, which is definitely not a good thing.

As soon as Niang stepped into the door, Yu Cheng quickly stepped forward to help Niang, Niang smiled dotingly at Yu Cheng, wiped the mud off Yu Cheng's face distressedly, and asked softly: "I'm too busy and don't have time. Have you washed your face? Sit down and take a rest, mother can still walk, so you don't need to help her."

Yu Cheng said in a brisk voice: "Mother, today I went up the mountain to pick a large frame of honeysuckle. After a few days, I will let Qing'er take it out and sell it. I can get back a lot of money. What does mother want? I will let Qing'er bring it back."

The mother smiled and said: "I don't need to bring anything to the mother, the mother does not need anything, but you and Fei'er, if you can bring back the cloth, the mother will make clothes for you to wear, and save the cold."

Yu Cheng calculated that he would not buy cloth, not to mention expensive, it is still very thin, it is best to buy this meat, stew some soup to replenish his body, Yu Cheng helped his mother to sit on the bed, went out and brought porridge in, the temperature was just Okay, neither hot nor cold, mother patted Yu Cheng's hand and said: "Hurry up, sit down."

Yu Cheng smiled, went out to bring porridge again, gave his sister a bowl, and sat down beside his mother, his sister was still in a daze, staring fixedly at something, as if he didn't look at anything, Yu Cheng took a mouthful of porridge, Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, he chatted with her, and as they talked, Yu Chengcheng talked about today's events: "I don't know what the chef's words mean. After my sister came back, she was in a daze like this. She didn't say a word, and she probably listened to it." arrive."

Mother froze for a moment, then said: "Embroidering and writing in the house? Is it really what Da Furen said?"

"It was told by the cook, and I'm not sure if it's true or not." After finishing his porridge, Yu Cheng went out to add more porridge to his mother's bowl, and then he came back and said, "There is nothing in the room, except for embroidery, you need cloth and needles. To write, you need the Four Treasures of the Study, and you need someone to teach you.”

Just as I was talking, a maid knocked on the door, and Yu Cheng went to open the door. The maid was carrying something, and when she saw Yu Cheng, she stuffed it into Yu Cheng's hand and said, "This is what the lady asked me to bring over. Tomorrow You don't have to go to the kitchen or the greenhouse, just stay inside and finish what the madam told you."

The mother's face changed in surprise, she didn't expect this to be true, she hurriedly got up and said: "What should we do? At this time, your sister is going to be married off, what is Da Furen's plan?"

Seeing that the little maid had gone far away, Yu Cheng entered the door, closed the door and window, helped his mother to sit back on the bed and said, "I'm not sure if it's about marriage, don't let us make a mess first."

Only then did Niang wake up and said: "Yeah, I'm not sure yet. Fortunately, I didn't let others listen to it, otherwise Da Furen will definitely be unhappy. Da Furen doesn't like other people talking too much."

Yu Fei was woken up by the maid's arrival, recovered from her daze, and said with a trembling voice: "Mother, if Da Furen wants to marry me, what kind of family will she find?"

The mother looked pale, looked at Yufei, opened and closed her mouth, and was speechless for a long time. Even if the eldest lady wanted to find a husband's family for Yufei, it would be difficult to find a good husband's family for Yufei's identity and age. Besides, how could the eldest lady care about Yu Fei's marriage?I'm afraid something happened, and they don't know anything about it.

Yu Cheng comforted his mother and elder sister after drinking the porridge, and helped them to go to bed and lie down. The elder sister was crying softly in the dark, and her mother was tossing and turning on the bed. Yu Cheng checked the things sent by the maid. He had never seen a pig walking or eating a pig. Meat, this thing is top-grade at first glance, the fabric is smooth and soft, and the four treasures of the study are even a bit old-fashioned. Yucheng touched this thing, sat on the bed, looked at the moonlight by the window, and was still thinking about what the cook said today. In other words, letting my sister embroider may be for the purpose of marrying someone, but what about him?What is the purpose of learning to write?Just to talk about marriage, he is a concubine, it is better not to get married, to get married not only to talk about marriage, but also to make a decision, there is also the cost of getting married, and to raise a wife and children in the future. How is it possible to do this?
