After listening to Hanjianglou's words, Dong Nuan nodded and said, "That's true."
After all, the two of them are not married yet. Hanjianglou has left home, so it's better not to let Dongnuan spend the night. What would it look like if people in the village saw it?
Therefore, Hanjianglou thought about it and prepared to give up this job.
As a result, before he had time to say anything, something happened at the host's house, and the goods could not be delivered for the time being, so the job was gone.
But this is also good. It just so happens that the winter weather needs to carve something recently. Hanjianglou feels that if he can’t learn it, can’t he be an assistant?
There is not much free time in winter, that is, in the morning, and then after school at noon.
It was still early to come back in the evening, but it was not appropriate to run to Hanjiang Tower in the middle of the night.
Dong Nuan ran away for a day before being persuaded by Hanjiang Tower.
He can take the initiative to come to Dong Nuan's door and deliver all kinds of food to Dong Nuan, but...
Dong Nuan took the initiative to come to the door, which is another matter. When the rumors in the village start to spread, the little girl will suffer even more.
Dong Nuan was naturally willing to listen to him, and she wasn't in a hurry, so the night didn't go by.
Dong Nuan is very skilled in wood carving. During the boring time of practicing, she would carve wood and jade whenever she had nothing to do.
Now after getting started, it didn't take long to speed up. She has a good spatial imagination and can carve out what she wants in one go.
Dong Nuan doesn't plan to carve too complicated ones, because there is not much time left before the county grandpa's mother's birthday. Dong Nuan wants to carve more and sell them for more money.
Before Dongxu returned home at the end of the month, Dongnuan's first finished product came out.
It is a gourd ornament. This time it is no longer a small gourd, but a very large one. There is a base below, and the base is carefully carved. Then, a gourd with a crooked mouth is carved on it along the texture. The gourd is still warm in winter.
A small hole was drilled there, and a string of fiery red tassels was hung there, which also has a very good meaning.
Gourds are originally associated with good fortune and good luck, and their meaning is very good, so the selling price will definitely be higher.
"Dong Xu will be back tonight." At noon on the day at the end of the month, Dong Nuan was carving something in the courtyard of Hanjianglou's house, so he said it casually.
Dong Nuan has now started carving the second piece.
For the second sculpture, Dongnuan chose the laurel tree.
There is a laurel tree growing inside the half-moon. The overall direction of this gourd is more complicated than the previous one, and it also requires more attention to details. It also needs a little coloring in the later stage, which will make the entire carving more beautiful.
It looks more alive.
Dong Nuan started to work directly after having the outline in mind. Hanjianglou was still in the process of mastering the carving process. It was difficult for him to have rough hands. He was practicing small pieces every day, although he was not successful.
Hearing Dong Nuan mention Dong Xu, Han Jianglou thought for a moment and said softly: "He's not a good person, just treat him politely."
Hanjianglou remembers that Dongxu later passed the exam to be a scholar, but that was it. After that, he was dismissed several times and failed to pass the exam. I guess he was also frustrated after several attempts. In addition, there was a lot of trouble at home.
That condition was finally given up.
Although his knowledge is average, he can still be an enlightened gentleman, and the court takes good care of scholars. The scholar can also receive a lot of things every month, and he can also be exempted from taxes on the fields.
The people in Dongxu's room are all good at calculating. Hanjianglou doesn't want Dongnuan to suffer, but there is no benefit in offending them, so just treat them politely and distantly.
But looking at Dong Nuan's young age and fearing that she wouldn't understand, Han Jianglou thought for a while and then whispered: "Even if he becomes successful in the future, he will be the first to take care of his own sisters, brothers, cousins, etc.
You have to stay back, let alone your cousins?"
Having said this, Hanjianglou sighed softly and continued with a somewhat comforting tone: "Nuanya, if you want to live a rich life, big brother will help you fight for it."
At worst, he would have to follow the same path of his whole life and join the army again. Although the process was difficult and dangerous, he would still be able to have a good future in the end.
That's right...
This makes it cheaper for the whole family.
This is what Hanjiang Tower doesn't want to see.
However, Hanjianglou did not want to see that Dong Nuan had been wronged for the sake of that person whose family was not worth it.
Whatever!
She has raised a child, so she must be given some glory.
Han Jianglou sighed softly in his heart and made up his mind that when Dong Nuan was two years older, he would leave home and pursue a future.
Hanjianglou had just started to feel ambitious when he saw Dong Nuan tilting his head and asking with a puzzled look on his face: "Is life bad now? You don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and your life is leisurely."
Hanjianglou was stunned by Dong Nuan's words. After he realized what he said, he couldn't help but smile to himself.
Children are children, and they think that having enough food and drink is a good life. Who knows, but the life of a wealthy family is prosperous, charming, and touching.
It’s just that the little girl has never been exposed to it, so it’s normal for her to not know.
"Nuanya will understand later." Hanjianglou didn't want to say more. Anyway, it's not what we have to do right now. Let's take our time in the future.
In this regard, Dong Nuan had her own thoughts. She withdrew her gaze and said softly while doing her work: "Is the elder brother talking about the life in the home of two wealthy and auspicious masters?"
Hanjianglou was asked, but he didn't say anything, but it was equivalent to acquiescing.
Seeing him like this, Dong Nuan nodded and continued: "They live a wealthy life. They can eat white rice, fine cakes, and fruits and preserves that we have never seen before. But these wealthy days also require
It's worth it. Look at the aunts in those two masters' homes. They are scheming over nothing. We outside people have never seen it, but we have heard a lot. The fighting inside is definitely more serious than what we heard.
, it’s not worth it to act like a cross-eyed person every day just for a little wealth.”
He probably never thought that Dong Nuan would say this, Hanjiang Tower was stunned.
Before he could react, Dong Nuan continued to say: "Although in our farmyard, there are some parents who are feuding with each other, but if you don't like it, you can just take action. Is it okay with those wealthy masters' families?"
Of course it won't work. The nobles in the wealthy compound are all ashamed. What they fight is about conspiracy and heart. There are really not many people who can tear it apart directly.
Even in a military general's home, even behind closed doors, he would not take action directly.
Seeing that Hanjianglou was dumbfounded and silent, Dong Nuan understood. She smiled and said: "So, brother, you see, life in the wealthy master's house may not be easy, and life in the farmyard may not be easy either.
Sad, life depends on your state of mind. If you are in a good state of mind, you will feel sweet when you eat chaff. If you are in a bad state of mind, you will feel bitter when you eat polished rice and white flour."
