Didn’t cry? Will your eyes become swollen if you don’t cry?
Hu Rui wanted to fight back, but when he saw Ning Wei's face turned ugly, he knew she was still angry.
So he swallowed the words that were on his lips and changed his words: "Okay, since it's just swollen from crying, there's no need for medicine, just some cold compresses. Qingzhu went to get some cold spring water and used the cold spring water to make some cold compresses for the lady.
.”
Qingzhu bent his knees and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Hu Rui stood by the closet with his arms folded, and asked tentatively: "Miss, are you complaining about the old lady? Are you angry with the old lady?"
"No!" Ning Wei blurted out.
Does she blame her grandmother? Although she doesn't admit it with her mouth, regarding today's incident, she feels resentful towards her grandmother in her heart.
Ning Guangyan knelt at the door of his house. His grandmother must have received a report from her servant.
Why didn't grandma express her position for so long? And Ren Ning Guangyan was kneeling at the door.
When they came back, many people had gathered at the door to watch the fun.
In other words, before they came back, Ning Guangyan had been kneeling for a while...
Hu Rui saw Ning Wei frowning and clenching her hands, knowing that he had guessed correctly.
He said with relief: "Ning Yuanwailang is the son of the old lady after all. Parents in the world have the heart. From the old lady's point of view, it is understandable. The young lady does not need to be angry with the old lady."
Ning Wei took over the words angrily, "I'm not angry with my grandmother, I'm just sad for my brother.
Qiu Wei, what an important exam? Second Brother Lu, Fourth Brother Yang, and Fourth Brother Jiang took the exam.
Starting from the first half of autumn, everyone in the mansion was surrounding them.
The servants in the mansion cannot even speak loudly for fear of disturbing them.
As for my brother, I don’t dare to take it lightly until the end. I have to be alert at all times and be careful not to fall into Zhao’s trap...
Furthermore, someone else’s child has entered high school, and the whole family is happy and beaming with joy.
My brother is in high school. What will be waiting for him when he returns home? He is a bad person and a bad thing."
The more Ning Wei talked, the more frustrated she became, and the more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and the resentment in her heart grew heavier...
She and her brother had a hard life, and being born into such a family, who could she blame?
She doesn't blame anyone! She only feels sad for her brother and herself.
Ning Wei felt her heart congested, so she took the handkerchief from Hui Yi, wiped her face, and handed the handkerchief back to Hui Yi.
"Hui Yi went to tell her grandmother that I had something to do and I was not at home for dinner today. You don't have to wait for me to eat."
Then, Ning Wei turned to Hu Rui and said, "Sir, come with me out."
After saying that, Ning Wei walked out first.
Hu Rui didn't react. When he saw Ning Wei walking out, he quickly chased after her and asked, "Huh? Out? Where to go? Do you need to prepare a car?"
Ning Wei was asked, where are you going?
You can go anywhere, as long as you go out for a walk, it doesn't matter where you go.
After making up her mind, Ning Wei said: "Get ready and let Xu Yan drive the car."
Hu Rui quickly passed Ning Wei, "Okay, let Xu Yan prepare the car first. Miss, come from behind."
Ning Wei said: "Thank you sir."
Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei with some heartache and said, "There is no need for this word of thanks between us."
Ning Wei smiled and didn't answer any more.
Hu Rui glanced at Ning Wei, turned around and left quickly.
Ning Wei slowed down and walked out slowly. The tightness in her chest dissipated a lot, but there was still a dull pain in her chest.
When Ning Wei walked to the outer courtyard, Xu Yan drove the car over.
Xu Yan stopped the carriage and quickly set up the footstool. He leaned forward and said, "Miss, please."
Hu Rui stretched out his hand to help Ning Wei, and protected her from behind as she got into the car.
When Ning Wei walked up to the car, Yue Niang happened to come out of the kitchen. Seeing Ning Wei getting into the car, she hurriedly asked: "Miss, where are you going?"
Ning Wei turned to Yue Niang and said, "Mommy, I have something to do and I need to go out."
After saying that, Ning Wei got into the car and sat down, and told Xu Yan: "Uncle Xu, let's go."
Xu Yan responded: "Okay, sit down, Miss."
Yue Niang noticed something from Ning Wei's alienated expression, and wanted to persuade Ning Wei. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start.
Just when Yueniang hesitated, Xu Yan drove out of Mingyuan.
Yueniang looked at the carriage that had left the gate and sighed slightly. She was about to turn around and go to the main room when she saw Xu Lei driving the carriage out again.
Yue Niang's eyelids twitched in shock, and she felt very uneasy. Could it be that the second master also wanted to go out?
The eldest lady and the second master are both out. How sad is the old lady?
"Xu Lei, where are you going?" Yue Niang asked loudly.
Xu Lei leaned forward and replied: "Back to grandma, just now, Qiao Yi came to inform me that I want to use the car."
Sure enough, Yue Niang asked hurriedly: "Didn't the Second Master just come back? Why are you going out again? Where are you going?"
Xu Lei shook his head and said: "Go back to grandma, I don't know. I'm here. I'll ask you in person."
Yue Niang turned around and saw Qiao Yi and Yun Xing walking towards Ning Yu with their hand-held gift boxes.
Yue Niang first bowed to Ning Yu and then asked, "Where are you going, Second Master?"
Ning Yu bowed towards Yue Niang and said calmly: "I'm going to Yang Mansion."
Bachelor Yang is Ning Yu's husband. Ning Yu is a high school student. It is appropriate to go to the Yang Mansion to thank him.
However, most people come to thank their teachers on the second day after the results are released.
Yueniang looked at the gift boxes in the hands of Qiao Yi and Yun Xing, and her heart sank even more.
The gift box to thank the teacher, the old lady told her to prepare before, is not these.
The second master prepared a gift himself!
Yunxing put the gift box in his hand, turned around and said, "Sir, the gift box is put away. I'll go and hand over the post first."
Ning Yu nodded, "Go!"
Yun Xing was ordered to turn around and leave.
Ning Yu nodded towards Yue Niang, "Mom, I'll go first."
Looking at the back of the carriage, Yue Niang sighed again.
In the hall, Mrs. Qian received reports from Hui Yi and Chang Le.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the sad Mrs. Qian and said with relief: "Give the two children some time."
Mrs. Qian sighed, "Yes, it's my fault for not thinking carefully and not taking into account the feelings of Brother Yu and Sister Wei. No wonder they are angry."
Xu Yan drove the car out of Mingyuan and asked: "Miss, where are we going?"
Ning Wei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Dongshui Pier."
These days, the food arrived again, but she didn't have time to take a look.
Fortunately, I have some free time today, so I went to take a look.
On this day, Ning Wei first went to Dongshui Pier Xingyuan to have a look, and then went to find Aunt Gui to see the progress of winter clothes.
After coming out of Aunt Gui's place, Ning Wei asked Xu Yan to find a place to eat.
After lunch, Xu Yan asked: "Miss, where should we go next?"
Ning Wei said: "It happens to be in the east of the city. Let's go to Zhuangzi to have a look."
Xu Yan drove to the countryside. When he arrived at Zhuangzi, Liu Liang received the letter and hurried out to welcome him.
"I don't know if Miss will be here today, but I'm sorry for being so far away from you. Please forgive me, Miss." Liu Liangcai bowed respectfully and said.
Ning Wei looked at Liu Liangcai, who was at a loss, and said, "I happened to be on business in the east of the city, so I stopped by to see how the charcoal harvest is going?"
When it came to business, Liu Liangcai felt much more at ease, leaned forward and replied: "The price we gave is fair, and the charcoal man is willing to sell the charcoal to us.
The house and yard were full of piles, and everyone cleared out the grain drying ground behind the house, where there were still many piles.
Uncle Zhang took the rest of us to weave a lot of straw thatch to put on it to prevent it from getting wet in the rain."
Hu Rui took over, "If it rains, the grass thatch can't stop it, right?"
Liu Liangcai said: "Uncle Zhang said that the rain in autumn is mostly drizzle, and it will work if the grass thatch is woven thicker."
Liu Liangcai said as he led Ning Wei and others inside. "Have you met Uncle Zhang, Miss?"
Ning Wei nodded and said, "I met him once. Uncle Shi and Aunt Gui took him to the city to meet me before."
Uncle Zhang's name is Zhang Xinmin. He was originally from Zhangjia Village near Zhuangzi. He had a disabled son.
A few years ago, Zhang Xinmin's wife unfortunately fell ill. In order to treat his wife's illness, Zhang Xinmin sold all his family property and borrowed more than 100 taels of foreign debt from others at high interest rates.
Unfortunately, his wife was not rescued in the end, leaving the father and son dependent on each other.
After hearing what Aunt Gui told about Zhang Xinmin's family, she respected this kind and righteous man very much and paid off his foreign debts.
Not long after, Zhang Xinmin transferred the deed between himself and his son to Shi Hezheng and transferred it to himself.
She asked Shi Hezheng to go to the south to help shopkeeper Liu, and Aunt Gui to go to the city to take charge of the garments.
He intended to leave Zhuangzi in Zhang Xinmin's hands, but there were too many things going on recently and he could not take care of Zhuangzi's affairs.
Ning Wei asked: "Where is Uncle Zhang? Isn't he in Zhuangzi?"
Liu Liangcai leaned forward and said, "Miss Hui, there is Fanjia Village about ten miles to the north. There are several families in the village who make charcoal.
Uncle Zhang took Uncle Qin to Fanjia Village early in the morning, hoping to collect some charcoal from Fanjia Village."
Ning Wei nodded and followed Liu Liangcai into the courtyard.
When Ning and Wei entered the courtyard and took a look, they were all stunned.
Hu Rui looked at the yard filled with charcoal, his eyes widened in shock, "Oh my God! So much charcoal? There's no place to even stand. It's so blocked, how can we walk?"
For fear that the charcoal would get wet when it rained, all areas with eaves in the yard were piled with charcoal.
Liu Liangcai smiled and said: "Sir, you don't have to walk here. The younger ones live in the back kitchen room, so they go in and out through that side. This area is all used for stacking charcoal."
Hu Rui turned to look at Ning Wei and asked, "Miss, if we buy so much charcoal, can we sell it?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Hu Rui realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, did the charcoal enter a bit too much?"
Xu Yan looked at Hu Rui who was speaking incoherently and said with a smile: "Don't you mean the same thing as what you just said?"
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, it can be sold."
Ning Wei walked out as he said, "Let's go to the grain drying farm in the back.
Liu Liangcai leaned forward and said, "Miss, come with me."
Ning Wei and the others followed Liu Liangcai from the road next to the house to the grain drying field behind the house.
Zhang Da was sitting on the edge of the grain drying field weaving thatch. When he saw Ning Wei and others coming up, he got up hurriedly.
He limped over and greeted Ning Wei.
Liu Liangcai said to Ning Wei: "Miss, this is Uncle Zhang's son Zhang Da. Zhang Da, this is the lady of our employer."
Zhang Da bowed respectfully to Ning Wei and said hello: "Hello, Miss, little Zhang Qin.
Ning Wei looked at Zhang Qin and felt ecstatic. Isn't this the account manager in her previous life - lame Zhang, Zhang Qin?
In the last life, Uncle Shi came to her and said that his son-in-law was disabled and couldn't do heavy work, but he was good at calculations and had good accounts. He asked her if she could find him a light accounting job?
For the sake of Uncle Shi and Aunt Gui, she arranged Zhang Qin to work in the accounting room.
After Zhang Qin arrived at the accounting office, her monthly account books were clear and clear at a glance. She clearly remembered every account, how much she had earned and how much she had spent.
Wei Yuan was full of praise for Zhang Qin. More than once he lamented that God had treated Zhang Qin unfairly, saying that if he had not been physically disabled, his future would be limitless.
After Ning Wei came back, she always wanted to find Zhang Qin. She asked Aunt Gui once if her daughter was married to someone else.
Aunt Gui said no, so she didn't ask again.
After all, in the last life, Uncle Shi brought Zhang Qin to her three years later.
Ning Wei never expected to meet Zhang Qin today.
Ning Wei looked at the neatly stacked straw thatch beside him and asked: "How much charcoal is there in the drying field? How many straw thatch do we need to weave? How much grass is needed to weave these straw thatch? How much hemp rope? How much grass is there in our village?"
Is it enough? Do I need to buy it from outside?"
Liu Liangcai didn't expect Ning Wei to ask these questions, and he didn't do any detailed calculations.
Uncle Zhang was afraid that the charcoal would get wet when it rained, so he came up with this idea and they started making it up.
Grass and hemp rope are both readily available in the village, and there is no need to buy them from outside. Who counts?
Zhang Qin looked at the drying field, then at the grass thatch beside it, and said: The length and width of this drying field are about ten feet.
The charcoal currently stored is eight feet long, five feet wide and six feet high.
The grass thatch we weave is relatively thick, one piece is one foot long and three feet wide. One piece of this kind of grass thatch requires about twenty kilograms of grass and half a kilogram of hemp rope.
Taking into account the length, width and height of this pile of charcoal, it would take roughly eighty pieces of grass thatch. Calculating each piece of twenty kilograms of grass, it would take roughly thirteen stones of grass and forty kilograms of hemp rope.
There should be enough grass in the village, and I might need to buy some more hemp rope."
Liu Liangcai was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Qin in disbelief, "Oh, hey! Zhang Da, you can do it, you can calculate the accounts so well!"
Ning Wei looked at Zhang Qin with joy and asked, "Can you count?"
Zhang Qin leaned forward a little nervously and said: "Go back to Miss, let's have a little meeting."
Ning Wei then asked: "Are you literate?"
This time, Liu Liangcai responded first: "Miss, Zhang Da is literate.
Uncle Zhang said that because his legs were inconvenient, when his family was well off, they sent him to school.
Later, when Zhang Da's mother-in-law fell ill, his family sold their property in order to treat his mother-in-law's illness, so Zhang Da did not go to school.
Zhang Da's calligraphy is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Uncle Shi's."
Ning Wei nodded, looked at Zhang Qin and asked, "Can you keep accounts? If I ask you to work in the accounting room, will you be willing?"
Zhang Qin looked at Ning Wei dumbly and didn't react for a long time.
Liu Liangcai turned Zhang Qin's hand and said, "Zhang Da, what are you doing so stupidly? The lady is asking you something, please answer her quickly."
Zhang Qin came back to his senses and looked at Ning Wei cautiously, "Miss, is that okay? But... these legs are so small."
Zhang Qin looked down at his legs, then looked up at Ning Wei with a blushing face.
Ning Wei smiled at Zhang Qin and said, "It doesn't matter. There are tables and chairs in the accounting room. You don't need to stand to calculate the accounts then. There are chairs for you to sit on."
