lnmao.org, do you know the fastest update? Do you know? It should be the latest chapter of Green Fat Red Thin!
Minglan has not always been so passive and sabotaged. I think she was also a good, hardworking, hard-working child who wears a red scarf, joined the young pioneers, and joined the Communist Youth League. She was the first batch of them every time, from small to large. Although he has never been a class leader, representatives of various committees are often elected. When he was a publicity committee member, he was awarded an award on the blackboard. When he was an organization committee member, he led everyone to visit the sick teacher. When he was an English class representative, he led everyone to read early every day. At that time, she also successfully organized a one-stop homework copy activity. Except for the fifth grade when she was a cultural and entertainment committee member, she was basically a good student who the teacher liked and trusted.
Unexpectedly, Ming Lan’s fortunes have plummeted. This time when she moved from Wang’s to Mrs. Sheng, there was only one silly little peach who was willing to go with her. The other maids heard about it. If you want to go to Shou'antang, you will either get sick or ask for leave. Otherwise, if you ask your family to talk about it, that mother would have been screaming with sore back and back a few days earlier.
"Little Tao, why are you willing to follow me?" Minglan asked hopefully.
"Can you...not follow?"
The vicissitudes of life, a sense of downright emptiness came oncoming, Ming Lan took Xiao Tao’s hand and left with a disgraced face. She felt that this was a crime of non-war, like you were sorted into a crony family business. Hard work is still a second-class citizen, so why do you have to move forward? Hey, let's go and see the new unit.
The main room of Shou’an Hall has five upper rooms. The middle one is called Mingtang. The two sides are the Shao Room and the Second Room in turn. There are also several pavilions for the maidservants on duty. This is typical of ancient times. In the courtyard building, Mingtang is somewhat similar to a modern living room. The top and second rooms are leisure rooms or sleeping rooms. The old lady sleeps in the left second room by herself, and Minglan is placed in the left second room, because the middle partition is carved with pineapple wood fans. , Minglan's place is also called Lihua Cabinet.
The furnishings that my mom just put out last night are simple and plain. They all use cool colors, stone blue, crow blue, navy blue..., only the bright apricot yellow is used in the warm pavilion where Minglan sleeps.
As soon as settling down, Cuiping, the girl in the old lady’s room, came to send a message, saying that the old lady wanted to see Minglan, and Minglan followed, and saw the old lady wearing a black brocade with eight groups of wishful flowers. Zi, half lying on the kang, on the kang table are placed a volume of scriptures and a few hanging sandalwood beads, and there is also a small white jade ring inlaid with gold threads and clouds.
She saw Ming Lan and beckoned her to come over. Ming Lan invited her several times, knew the etiquette, bowed first, and then consciously stood beside the kang and stood in front of the old lady at a 45-degree angle, looking up and waiting for instructions. Mrs. Sheng saw her cautious look of a small adult, smiled and pulled her up to the kang, and said softly: "You are the fourth child I have raised, and the first three have no fate with me. I wonder what about you? When speaking, you don’t have to be polite. You can say whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if you say something wrong."
Ming Lan opened her eyes wide and nodded. She didn't intend to lie. Compared with these ancient women who stayed in the house all her life, her little scheming was not enough to even carry shoes.
"Have you read the book?" Mrs. Sheng asked.
Ming Lan shook her head and whispered: "Big Sister was going to teach me "Sound and Enlightenment". Just after teaching the first two sentences, she was locked up and embroidered with her dowry. Mother Liu looked serious, big My sister can't get out."
The old lady Sheng flashed a smile in her eyes, and asked: "Can you write?"
Ming Lan smiled bitterly in her heart. She originally knew how to write, but this is not necessarily true, so she whispered: "Only a few words."
The old lady Sheng asked Cuiping to put a pen and paper on it and let Minglan write a few words. The ink was developed a long time ago. Minglan stroked the sleeves on her short arm and stretched out her small palm slightly. Holding the pen tremblingly, she spent two summer brush classes in the Youth Palace when she was a child, and only learned a bad hand and a pen holding posture.
She used five short fingers to'press, press, hook, push, and press', hold the pen steadily, and write a skewed "person" on the plain paper, and then write A few simple words,'Zhi, also, no, already' and so on.
When the old lady saw Minglan's gesture, she secretly praised her. Although the child is young, his arms and wrists are in a very upright posture, with the arms hanging on the wrists, the back straight and the waist straight, her eyes focused, but due to her small strength , The characters are not elegant. Minglan finished writing the two or three strokes he remembered, and finally wrote the ink group. The old lady leaned over and carefully identified it. It turned out to be a complicated stroke of "Sheng".
"Who taught you to write?" the old lady asked. She remembered Aunt Wei was illiterate.
Ming Lan wrote profusely, wiped her forehead with the back of her small hand, and said: "It's the fifth sister, she taught me to draw red."
The old lady Sheng laughed: "Teach you how to trace red? I'm afraid that you will be asked to write for her, so she can be naughty."
Minglan blushed and didn't speak, thinking that these ancient women were really amazing.
"Who taught you the word'Sheng'? Nothing is posted on Miaohong." The old lady asked, pointing to the unrecognizable ink group.
Minglan thought for a while: "There are everywhere in the house, on the lanterns, on the seals, um...and on the big sister's dowry box."
The old lady Sheng nodded in satisfaction, and touched Minglan’s small face, and she frowned as soon as she touched it. As long as a child of this age can eat, he will have chubby cheeks. But he couldn't squeeze a handful of meat out of his small face, so he sternly said: "I'll be here in the future, I have to eat well and take medicine, don't be ashamed."
Minglan felt that she must defend herself, and whispered: "I'm eating, and I never leave any food, just don't grow meat."
The old lady Sheng has warm eyes, but still has a straight face: "I heard that you often vomit medicine."
Ming Lan felt wronged, and she kneaded the corners of her clothes to distinguish between them softly: "I don't want to vomit, but my stomach doesn't listen to me, I can't help it, this...everyone who vomits knows!" /
The old lady smiled more in her eyes, went to Kai Minglan's little hand, helped her to flatten the corners of her clothes, and calmly said: "Not only your stomach won't listen to you, but even your maid won't listen. Just leave it to you; I heard that only a little girl is following you this time?"
The old lady Sheng has been lonely for a long time. Today, she laughed one after another and couldn't help but ridicule. I didn’t expect that the thin and thin man in front of me answered with a serious face: "I heard the big sister say that the water goes down However, people have to go to higher places. No matter where I go, no one wants to follow me."
"Then why are you willing to come? I am a vegetarian, but there is no meat here." the old lady asked.
"If you don't eat meat, you can eat without worry." Ming Lan shook his head.
The childish voice is childish, and the rest is stunned. The old lady looked at the little girl for a while, then she also shook her head, hugging Minglan and sighed: "There is only a handful of bones left, let's eat meat."
In fact, what the old lady said in her heart is that they are all the same.
The old lady Sheng pointed out a new old mother named Cui with a round face. She didn’t talk much, but looked very kind. She was very gentle when holding Minglan; the old lady looked at Xiaotao and Minglan. The master and servant were stupid one by one, and then gave Minglan a little girl beside him, Danju. As soon as Dan Ju came, Xiao Tao was immediately embarrassed by Bi. She was only one year older than Ming Lan, but she was steady and careful and took care of Ming Lan's life carefully. Xiaotao was bought from outside, but Danju was born in the family. Her father and mother were all in charge of the Zhuangzi field. Because there were so many children in the family, her parents couldn't come over, so she entered the mansion at a young age and was later caught by her mother. Fancy, picked Shou'antang to serve.
The old lady Sheng was born in Houfu. Although her life is simple, she has strict rules. There are rules for every word and deed. The little maids and old ladies here are more honest than elsewhere. Minglan is an adult soul, so naturally She can be naughty and naughty. As soon as Mama Cui took over, she told Mama Fang that Miss Liu was kind and good-natured.
Before going to bed at night, Dan Ju warmed up the quilt with Tangla early. Minglan asked Mama Cui to change her clothes, hugged and slid directly into the warm quilt, and then patted and coaxed to sleep at night. When she was thirsty or wanted to be convenient, Ming Lan called and someone came to serve. When Minglan opened her eyes the next morning, the warm towel was ready, and a cup of warm golden silk red date tea was covered in the warm cage. First, she applied the towel to her forehead and cheeks, and waited to wake up. The queen of God, Cui's mother drank the bewildered Minglan again, and then washed her face, dressed and combed her hair. Xiao Danju served her clothes with buttons, socks and shoes, and went out to greet the old lady Sheng.
A series of actions are smooth and flowing, naturally appropriate, without any rigidity. Xiao Tao was stunned and couldn't get in at all. Minglan didn't get back to her senses until she stood in front of the old lady Kang to salute. The stomach is warm, and the body is thick. It is not uncomfortable to get up early in the winter.
God Bodhisattva, Ming Lan came to this world for so long, for the first time to enjoy this kind of honor without a finger, corruption, depravity, Ming Lan deeply confessed her corrupt life.
After saluting the old lady, the old lady hugged Minglan on the kang and asked her to warmly wait for everyone to come to greet her. After a while, Wang came with the children, and there was no Moran and Molan in the middle. Chang Feng said that he was ill. Wang's expression was concerned. Ming Lan glanced at it and saw the old lady's expression unchanged.
"Two children are sick together. Could it be wind and cold? This disease is the easiest to spread. I have sent someone to ask the doctor. I only hope that the Buddha will protect the two children. There is nothing wrong with the two children." Wang said with a worried expression. .
Ming Lan quietly gave a thumbs up in her heart. For the past year, Wang's acting skills are good, and those who don't know the expression in her eyes, she thought that Chang Feng and Mo Lan were born to her.
The old lady Sheng suddenly said: "Let's turn around and let the master go and see. The two children are put together, and they are easy to get sick. Feng Ge'er is also older, so it is better to separate as soon as possible."
Wang was shocked, but he was happy in his heart. What was shocked was that the old lady hadn’t bothered about this for many years. Why did she suddenly become excited now? The happy thing was that the old lady gave Aunt Lin the color, better than She acted more righteously by herself, and quickly said: "What the old lady said is that Feng Ge'er and Mo Jie'er are the most popular with the master, this time they are sick together, the master must go and see."
The old lady Sheng glanced at her lightly, lowered her head to drink tea, Wang smiled and turned her head to look at Ming Lan, only to see that she was wearing a new pink feather gauze jacket, standing neatly on the side. After a few words, Minglan talked a few words about the feeling of moving to a new house, and Hualan gagped a few more words. After everyone laughed happily for a while, they went back.
After the person left, Mama Fang immediately led a bunch of maids holding an octagonal food box from the outside. She helped the old lady go down the kang, Mama Cui led Minglan to the right stalk, and saw that the maids had already The breakfast in the food box was placed on a black lacquered and carved hexagonal table. After the old lady sat down, Cui’s mother hugged Minglan on the Yuandun; as soon as Minglan sat down, she saw the breakfast on the table. It's a big jump-no way, change the shotgun!
A large sumptuous table, red jujube cakes, purple yam cakes, a plate of steaming icing millet cakes with aroma, crispy golden fried sesame oil fruits, steamed dumplings, There is actually a bowl of buckwheat skin wontons sprinkled with coriander, and the sweet and glutinous jujube-boiled japonica rice porridge is placed in front of them, and a dozen dishes of various pickles are placed next to it.
Ming Lan was a little silly holding the chopsticks. She was very impressed with the shabby breakfast in Shou'an Tang. She raised her eyes to look at the old lady and said softly, "...so many."
The old lady didn’t lift her eyes, and began to taste the porridge. Mom Fang answered with a smile: “Yes, this old lady suddenly wants to taste it.” She persuaded for so many years and refused to listen. For a while, thanks to the blessing of the six girls, the old lady finally stopped living such a hard life.
Ming Lan was moved and looked at the old lady again, her little mouth moved, she lowered her head, and looked up at her slightly, and said lowly, "Thank you, grandmother, granddaughter must eat more meat. Give you a lot of meat."
The old lady just smiled in her heart when she heard the first half of the sentence. When she heard the second half of the sentence, she couldn't help but smile, what ‘grow you a lot of meat’, when she raised piglets? Mother Fang turned her head to cover her mouth and smiled.
After breakfast, the grandparents and grandchildren returned to the Kang, and the old lady Sheng took out the "Three Character Classic" and asked Ming Lan to read a few sentences to listen to. See how much she knew, Ming Lan brought it with a guilty conscience. Decided to discredit myself, so he said: "The sword of man, the wooden sheep, the wooden catkin, Xi Muyuan..."
The old lady almost squirted out a sip of tea, and coughed several times. Ming Lan was shocked, and quickly bypassed the Kang table to give the old man a good cheer, and she asked naively and in fear as she went along. , Did I pronounce it wrong?"
The old lady took a few deep breaths before she came back, looking at her granddaughter with a silly look, she insisted: "You read...very well, but you just missed a few words. Don't worry, learn slowly. Just fine."
Only three of the twelve words are correct, 25% correct. Minglan is very sad. Would it be easy for her to pretend to be illiterate?
Minglan was not the only one who was sad that day. After Sheng Hong went home in the evening, Wang immediately reported Mrs. Sheng's original words with his own understanding. Sheng Hong didn't even change her official uniform, and it was black. A face went to Aunt Lin’s place. After closing the door, I didn’t know what was going on inside. I could only vaguely hear crying, roaring, and the crisp sound of broken porcelain...
About half an hour later, Sheng Hong came out with a blue face. When the maid went in to serve, she found a mess in Aunt Lin's room. Aunt Lin herself was lying on the kang, and the crying Haitang almost fainted with the rain.
After learning about this, Wang's spirits poured three cups of strong tea in a row, and then he gave Yuanshi Tianzun and Tathagata Buddha each a stick of incense, even if he knew that Sheng Hong went to the study to sleep. Can reduce her good mood; the so-called enemy's enemy is my friend, Wang decided to do more filial piety to the old lady in the future.
