Chapter 428: honeycomb
Chapter 428 Honeycomb
After sent his father out, Jiang Liu wanted to return to the North Courtyard to see what he could do to help the family, but was stopped by the fifth sister.
Jiang Mujin took the sixth sister and ran away, "Grandmother and uncle have something to discuss, don't let us go to the back room. Go, go to see the little tree with my sister, it's fun."
Jiang Liu said, "Where's the third sister?"
"She and the second sister were left behind by the aunt and the others. They said they wanted to discuss the table arrangement for the guests on the fifth day of the new year. I ran out before my mother spoke." Jiang Mujin smiled smugly.
Jiang Liu, who also escaped the catastrophe, also smiled proudly. Like Fifth Sister, she was the most troublesome to discuss how many people would come from each prefecture, who would be suitable for a table with whom, and who should never sit with whom to wait for chores. When the two arrived at the West Outer Courtyard, they continued to laugh smugly around Jiang Xiaoshu.
Jiang Xiaoshu, who had eaten and slept enough, was staring at the roof and stretched out his arms and kicked his legs to exercise. Suddenly, two big heads appeared in front of him, and Jiang Xiaoshu's black grape-like eyes stared at the two sisters again.
Jiang stayed for a while and was turned into cuteness by the fifth brother, holding his chubby hand and calling, "Little Shu'er, you look so cute—"
Jiang Xiaoshu, who was smiling happily, suddenly pouted and started crying. Jiang Liu quickly let go of his hand, "What's wrong with Xiaoshu?"
Jiang Mujin skillfully opened his brother's diaper and looked at it, "It's alright, let him cry. My mother said that children cry a lot when they are young, and their voice becomes louder when they grow up. Look at Xiaoshu's lower gums, which are turning white here. , my mother said that this is to grow teeth."
Is it about to have teeth in three months, so early? Taking advantage of Jiang Xiaoshu's grinning and crying, Jiang Liu and his fifth sister lied on the side of the wooden bed and looked at his little gums carefully, "There is really a little white, is this one tooth or two?"
"Wowwoow"
"Two, right?"
"Wow"
"Are the two teeth a little small?"
"Woo"
Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly stopped crying, there were still two packs of tears in his eyes, he grinned again, raised his little hand and babbled. Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin looked back and found that Jiang Ling was here.
Brother clearly has a straight face every day, but Jiang Xiaoshu just likes him, it's so strange. Jiang Liu said, "Brother, hug Xiaoshu, he likes you to hug him."
Jiang Ling shook his head, "I'm going to the academy, and I'll play with the fifth brother when I come back."
"That's right, if Xiaoshu'er pulls Brother Ling on him, Brother Ling has to go back to the room to change clothes." Xiaoshilang who followed up smiled and stretched out his hand to poke his brother's chubby face.
"Crack!" Jiang Mujin slapped his dirty claws away, and said in a sister's posture, "Don't poke, you will drool if you poke your face!"
Xiaoshiro was not convinced, "You poked it in the morning!"
"I do not have!"
"You just poke, if you don't let me poke, I'll tell my mother!"
Jiang Xiaoshu ignored the quarreling brothers and sisters, and only stared at Jiang Ling kicking his chubby legs. Jiang Ling only looked at his precious sister, "Where's the book of "The Collection of Mo Yi" that my sister took yesterday?"
Jiang Liu tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "Did I take it?"
"Missionary Collections" is equivalent to the current "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation". She did not take the imperial examination to become the champion, and she never read such books.
Jiang Ling is very sure, "Yesterday you were holding a fan."
That's it...
"I'll go back and look for it, brother."
Jiang Liu turned around and was about to run, but was grabbed by his brother, "No hurry, walk slowly."
As soon as Jiang Ling left, Jiang Xiaoshu, who was lying on the bed, grinned again and cried, but his sister and brother were busy arguing and had no time to pay attention to him.
Jiang Liu ran to her brother's room and searched left and right but couldn't find the book that she took to cool off. After sending her brother out to the academy, she returned to the room to continue searching.
My brother's book was not found, but she found a lot of her own little things. Jiang Liu was very puzzled, "How did I get these things to my brother?"
Shuqiu sighed, these were all thrown here by her girl, "How about the servants pack up and put them back for the girl?"
"Alright." Jiang Liu just picked up his little cloth tiger when Qin Qing came in and said, "Miss, Hua Xiangrong's steward Jiang Bo is asking for a meeting outside the mansion."
Jiang Liu put down Xiaobu Tiger and immediately went to work, "Let him wait for me in the study in the front yard, and you go and invite Fifth Sister."
Two days ago, her father asked her what to do to make money. Jiang Liu didn't answer at that time, but she figured it out afterward. Daddy doesn't know that Chai rice is expensive when he is not at home. He only needs to take money from the accountant. The family has never shorted his money, but other people in the house don't have the treatment of Daddy.
The house is not rich in money. Without the dowry shop that her mother left for her and her sister to fill it, Jiang Liu would not be able to "do whatever she wants" with only the hundreds of pocket money the house gives her every month. , let alone buy whatever you want. Therefore, she still has to make money. Only when she has money can she be confident when spending money.
The third uncle is busy in and out of the house and manages the household affairs of the house. He has the most money in his hand, but he is the most frugal in the family. Once, Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin saw him wandering around the Nanshi stone yard, and they saw a piece of Taihu stone worth five taels of silver. At that time, the fifth sister said that she wanted to make more money to buy stones for her father, and she would buy as many stones as she wanted. Jiang Liu's idea and the fifth sister hit it off, so now the two youngest girls in the Jiang family are busy opening shops to make money.
Jiang Huai followed him a few times, and then he safely handed over the two fat powder shops to his niece and niece. Now Hua Xiangrong's steward came to the government to report affairs, not looking for the third master, not the housekeeper, but only the sixth girl.
Jiang Liu and the fifth sister discussed business matters with the steward, and went around the shop again. After solving some minor problems that seemed unimportant but greatly affected the customer experience, the two returned to the house for dinner and a nap.
After Jiang Liu woke up, when Shu Qiu came in to dress her, he smiled and said, "Girl, Young Master Chai and Young Master Huang are here."
Jiang Liu glanced at the shadow of the pen holder on the table. She has now learned to judge the time based on the position of the sun and the shadow of objects.
Shuqiu shook his head, "Young Master Chai Ba didn't go to the academy, he... looks very miserable."
Miserable? Jiang Liu immediately walked out quickly, wanting to see how miserable Chai Linsang was. When she saw Chai Linsang with a swollen face like a pig's head and a sausage hanging on his upper lip, her first reaction was that it was really miserable, and her second reaction was that it was a bit ridiculous. Huang Jianyun next to him was almost laughing.
Jiang Liu stepped forward and asked, "Chai Starling, what's wrong with you?"
Chai Linsang, who was swollen into a pig's head, had a sore mouth and couldn't speak. Huang Jianyun, who was laughing crazily next to him, explained, "He ran to stab the honeycomb and was stung by a bee. I stabbed a honeycomb a hundred times bigger than he stabbed it back then, and it didn't work. Stung like this!"
Looking at Chai Linsang's pitiful and ridiculous appearance, Jiang Liu asked, "Why doesn't mynah run away?"
