I'm back. If you want to be scolded or beaten, please listen to what happened to me first, okay?
Three months ago, bad news in my life happened at a certain level, and it was about work.
A certain level is the third oldest in the unit. Among the young people, he is neither at the bottom nor at the top. There are excellent senior brothers and sisters in front of him, and behind him there are younger brothers and sisters who are less serious than a certain level. They live their lives every day.
Such a happy life.
About three or four months ago, a certain level started to get busy. According to the update date, you may also feel it; because the outstanding senior sister in front went to other places for research, and the even more outstanding senior brother got a rare training opportunity and went to work in the frontier.
.
So a certain person who was originally ranked third suddenly became a strong labor force in the department. However, even such days ended quickly. The senior brother had an accident and had to put a leg cast in the hospital, so he came back.
At this time, the eldest brother was hospitalized and the second child was sent abroad. The eyes of the unit fell on the third child.
That border is the backcountry of Erlian, Inner Mongolia.
I don’t want to go to a certain level. I have been a southerner all my life, and I have never left the south in college. A certain level is a flower in the greenhouse, an adou who cannot be supported, and a lazy man who is corrupted by capitalism...
The leader did ideological work for Guan Guan over and over again. In the end, there was no way. Guan Guan did not have the courage to resign and had no choice but to leave.
——Actually, I think the fact that my senior brother is wearing a plaster does not affect his work.
The following days were really, really difficult, very difficult.
I couldn't adapt to the climate, it was terribly dry, my nasal mucosa became inflamed several times, my hair got better, my hair got better, my stomach bloated when I drank water, and I was in excruciating pain; the ultraviolet rays were dozens of times higher than at home, and my skin peeled off within two days, and then it started to swell again.
The freckles that have grown back and proliferated on my face make me want to cry.
It is not the provincial capital of Erlian yet. It is a remote and remote area close to the national border. There are few Han people and many ethnic minorities.
At first, I was afraid of the Mongolians there. They all had fierce looks on their faces (personal hallucination). Later I realized that it was quite safe to be around the ethnic minorities in my country. When I saw the legendary Outer Mongols, I saw them with serious bad intentions and hostility.
.
Going to work every day is a test of the soul.
Life is extremely difficult to adapt to. I eat mainly meat and very little green vegetables. In just one week, my mouth is bubbling and my nasal cavity is inflamed. I eat dairy products at every turn. In just three weeks, at one point, my body is transformed from a white flour steamed bun.
It has become a cornucopia of cereals.
After a month, I slowly adapted to this place, but the network is very poor. The place where I stay has to calculate the Internet traffic. Sometimes there is no signal for the mobile phone. The advertisements are all deceptive. What about Global Mobile!
I have just adapted, but the weather is gradually getting hotter, and the real misery begins. The heat here is unimaginable. In fact, the temperature is not bad, but it is so boring that you will go crazy, so I often run to cooler places around, but I see
There are many large fans, which are said to be powered by wind energy.
This kind of training takes a year.
I really considered resigning at that time. Even Guan Gong and my family suggested this. At this time, my senior brother saved me.
His plaster was removed and I was replaced.
I flew back last weekend, took a week off, and started updating today. In just three months, I suffered from chronic pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. The doctor calmly informed me: Chronic cases are difficult to treat.
Okay.【叶*】【*】
I have all allergies on my face, neck, arms, and skin, and I am still undergoing treatment.
As for the freckles and sun spots all over the place, well, luckily she is married.
Everyone was beating and scolding me, but I had nothing to say. I originally asked the editor to ask for leave, but she may not have made it clear. After that, there was all kinds of confusion. I couldn't write a word. I'm very sorry for disappointing everyone.
I'm really, really sorry.
For a long time, the old man Gongsun's status in the Gu Mansion was very embarrassing. The so-called "teacher" was also called "Xi Xi". The reason was that when the new emperor came to the throne, there were turbulent internal and external undercurrents. As a close minister who came to Beijing with the new emperor, he performed well and was not as good as others.
If he curled his lips and acted a little misbehaved, the courtiers could not help but secretly comment, "Look who are the emperor's cronies" (Comrade Geng was shot numerous times for this).
Gongsun Baishi advised Gu Tingye not to show off by recruiting a large number of staff and followers, as well as a small military general. Therefore, even though the governor's office clearly stated at that time that "there is no rest", even though Gu Tingye himself was not good at writing, and even though the old man Gongsun had never seen
When they met Sister Rong, the host and guest still shamelessly announced that this (me) is the teacher of the Gu family.
After that, there was endless busyness and trouble, and no one thought about it again. When Brother Tuan was born, Gongsun Baishi's reputation as a teacher was confirmed. Unfortunately, ever since the little meatball could catch things,
He showed more interest in grabbing old man Gongsun's beard than holding a pen - however, Gongsun Baishi's famous post to the outside world still reads "Guhou Xixi".
Of course, this kind of blatant fraud cannot deceive the sharp eyes of the masses. When old man Gongsun was about to take his concubine, he piled up three houses with congratulatory gifts, including a coral tree more than a foot tall, and dazzling pearls and earrings.
Horses of precious brocade... Old man Gongsun did not reject anyone who came and accepted them all. He also teased Gu Tingye and stroked his beard and laughed at himself: "Sure enough, one person can achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven."
On the day of the ceremony, Ruomei wore a brand-new peach red spring coat, four dragon and phoenix gold bracelets on both wrists, a hairpin with three wings facing the sun, and a gold hairpin on the temples.
, the sentence on the left is "Aunt Mei is so lucky" and the sentence on the right is "Aunt Mei was born rich early", she just forced a smile and her face turned pale. After Gongsun Baishi recovered from his illness, Gu Tingye proposed to take a concubine with courtesy, and the old man actually liked Ruomei, who was well-educated and sensible.
, but he was indifferent and perverse by nature, hated vulgar etiquette, and was unwilling to do anything about it. Minglan insisted, and just promised a few tables and asked everyone in the house to drink and celebrate together.
As a result, Ruomei couldn't help but feel unhappy. Every newlywed would inevitably have some expectations for the wedding. She couldn't help complaining to her personal maid, but she asked a few flattering daughters-in-law to inquire about it and asked her to go to her family.
The man went to a shop outside to buy some gifts. After going back and forth, the news about Gongsun Baishi taking concubines spread outside, attracting a group of enthusiastic "admirers" who rushed to send gifts.
The old man was very unhappy and would have almost given up on the marriage if it had not been a hindrance to Minglan.
"I don't ask you to be virtuous, but I don't want you to be able to keep your tongue. If the vine cannot be used as a pillar and can't be trusted, it is better for the wife to educate the children after they are born!" ——Old man Gongsun has such a perverse nature.
Immediately, he rebuked her without any polite words; Ruomei couldn't help crying sadly for several days and nights, feeling regretful and ashamed.
After Minglan found out, she had no choice but to shake her head and sigh.
Gongsun Baishi is, at best, free and uninhibited; at worst, he is selfish. If this kind of person were to be considered in modern times, he must be a die-hard celibate. Unfortunately, in ancient times, his parents ordered him to marry honestly.
Sheng. He may still have some guilt and respect for his first wife, but as for Ruomei...
After that, Gongsun Baishi only asked Ruomei to serve in daily life, and even refused to let him in the study. The news spread out in a moment. When Minglan learned about it, he just said softly and stopped asking about anything else. Instead, he called the house
Everyone was surprised.
Originally, everyone saw that Mr. Gongsun was highly trusted by the Marquis, and Ruomei flew up to the branches, and they all fawned over him to express their goodwill. However, now that they saw the master's lukewarm attitude, they gradually stopped interacting with Ruomei.
Human relationships are so warm and cold. Minglan sighed slightly and leaned on the bed to read quietly. Next to her lay Brother Tuan, who was sleeping like a piglet. His chubby face was white and rosy, and he seemed to have thin hair.
Fluffy. The room was quiet except for Danju, who was sitting on a small table beside him. He seemed to be a little uneasy and made many mistakes with his hands. A simple edging had already been removed twice.
"Put down the needle and thread." Minglan suddenly said softly, "My fingers are almost making holes."
Danju lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered: "I'll do it again later."
Minglan glanced at her: "I went again this morning. What happened this time?" Dan Ju slowly put down her needlework and looked at Brother Tuan hesitantly. Minglan said: "Say, this little kid is awake.
It won’t work.”
Danju said in surprise: "It was Ruomei's little boy who came to see me, saying that she was unhappy."
"Oh? It would be a good thing if you are happy." Minglan continued reading without raising her head.
"No, she just changed her clothes two days ago." Danjue said softly, "She just felt tight in her chest and said she wanted to see her old sisters."
Minglan said nothing and only smiled softly. Danjue saw that there was a bit of ridicule in her smile, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Ruomei is not easy. She has only been here for a month, and the husband doesn't pay much attention to her anymore."
, even the maids in the courtyard are a little scornful..."
Before she could finish speaking, Minglan interrupted: "Is this what Ruomei asked you to say?" She kept a lot of eyes and ears in Gongsun's courtyard. Those maids did not treat Ruomei lightly, but they were not as fawning as before.
That’s all.
Danju quickly waved her hand: "No, she told me not to ask me to tell you every time."
Minglan almost laughed out loud after hearing this. She quickly resisted looking at the little meat ball next to her. However, she saw that the little one was still snoring softly and sleeping in a big font. She was so cute and naive that she couldn't help but curl her lips.
He turned around. Then he put down the book and slowly moved to the edge of the kang. He took Danjue's hand and sighed softly: "You and I have been together for more than ten years. I'm afraid we all know how many intestines are in our belly. Let me ask you.
One sentence, tell me the truth, what do you think about this matter?"
Danju looked into Minglan's staring eyes and did not dare to look directly. She turned her head and whispered: "She asked me to eat snacks, drink tea, and enjoy the spring plums. She talked to me a lot every time. Although she kept saying
She asked me not to tell Madam, but I know what she means. She is hoping that Madam will go and say a nice word in front of Sir on her behalf."
Minglan nodded, this girl is not really stupid: "Then should I say it for her?"
Danju's face was full of embarrassment, she bit her lip for a while, lowered her head and said, "...I...I don't know." Thinking of Ruomei's sick look, she felt pity, but she didn't want Minglan to be in trouble.
Minglan looked at her for a while and sighed: "I have found a match for you."
The topic suddenly changed, and Danjue was shocked and embarrassed, and was completely stunned.
Minglan continued: "He's your uncle's nephew, the one you call his eldest cousin."
Danjue's whole family was originally Mrs. Sheng's companion. When Danjue's uncle married his sister, I got a favor and got married to a well-to-do family outside. Over the past few decades, the family business has become more and more prosperous.
There is one under the knee, and she is four years older than Dan Ju.
Minglan looked at Dan Ju's flushed face and continued: "Fang's mother said that your cousin is very capable. He can manage the farm and take care of the shop. The family is simple, and they are related by relatives. He is really a good family.
.”
Danju blushed so much that her neck grew thicker. She hesitated for a long time before she knelt down straight and said: "I won't marry outside, I will stay with my wife for the rest of my life!"
Minglan smiled bitterly. Danju was no more dependent on her parents and brothers than Qin Sang, no more aggressive and domineering than Lvzhi, and no better than Xiaotao pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Although she was meticulous and capable, her heart was always too soft. Cui's mother was looking for a lot of things outside.
I don't feel at ease no matter how I look at him. The honest one is worried that he is incompetent, the gentle one is worried that he will be ruined, the smart one is worried that he is flexible and not a good person. Finally, the candidate is good, but the family is complicated.
Difficult.
After picking and choosing for a long time, it was difficult to make a decision. Every time she thought about Dan Ju's misfortune, Ming Lan felt a heavy burden.
"Ever since you were little, you little sisters have been playing around, competing for cakes, clothes, rings, and jewelry. You always give in and make peace with others. When you have grievances, you never tell others, you just swallow it yourself. You have such a temper.
Ah...I originally wanted to keep you in the house as a steward, so that I can keep an eye on you." Minglan sighed. When she was working for the Wang family, she encountered a difficult steward mother, and all of them were pills.
Orange, please be careful and say good things.
Danju's face turned purple, and her eyes were full of determination and stubbornness: "I don't want to marry outside, I want to stay with my wife."
"It's easy to get priceless treasures, but it's rare to find a lover." Minglan said, "Your cousin has been waiting for you for many years, but he refuses to say goodbye. Even his parents can't help him. It's really not easy."
After hearing these words, Dan's face, which was about to turn dark, slowly returned to normal. Minglan found it quite funny. r "You like him too, right?" Minglan said softly.
Dan Ju blushed and murmured for a long time. She couldn't stand Minglan's gaze, and then she said: "When I was a child, when I was at my aunt's house...my eldest cousin came to visit...he treated me very well..."
Minglan knew clearly in her heart that her mother knew the details of this family all too well. They were all good people. In the ancient times when information was blocked, it was not easy to be so knowledgeable. In such a simple and kind family, Dan Ju was more honest.
No problem, he nodded and said: "It looks good to me, so that's settled."
Danju still knelt on the ground, with a look of astonishment on her face. She remembered that she was obviously here to talk about Ruomei, but how could it become a life-long decision for her?! Zhang Erjiang turned around blankly, but saw the person on the kang.
The little meatball smells like sleeping, and the round belly rises and falls.
"Now that you have no parents, let your aunt and uncle do the wedding for you." Minglan dragged on a pair of soft-soled shoes, walked around the house, and said to herself: "Ask for your name, Naji, Xia Ping."
Gift...Fang's mother said that your future father-in-law has just lost his uncle, so it would be inappropriate to get married too quickly. It will take a while...or your uncle has time to buy you a complete set of household items. I will pay for it...
"
"Madam..." Danju sobbed softly, "I don't..."
Minglan tilted her head: "What? Don't you listen to me?"
Danju stopped sobbing, and Minglan said quietly: "I have said before that as long as you don't let me down, I will not let you down. This time, I want you to write three books and six etiquettes, wear dragons and phoenixes in red, and be graceful.
Marry naked!"
"Madam!" Dan Jue's face was full of tears and she bowed her head in prostration, "I have never had a relationship with my parents since I was a child. It was only when I got to the girl that I realized what it means to be sincere. My descendants will never be able to repay the kindness that the girl has shown me...
..." After speaking, I burst into tears.
The little meat ball moved a few times and smacked its mouth. It seemed that he was not sleeping well. Minglan walked to the kang and sat down, patting him gently: "That's it, it's just you. From now on, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep well again."
There won't be any more." The first feelings are always the truest and most beautiful. "Go and call the wet nurse. Brother Tuan should wake up by now, otherwise there will be trouble again at night."
Danjue stood up silently, wiped the tears from her face, and was about to go out slowly when Minglan suddenly said: "If Ruomei comes to see you again in the future, you have to say a word to her." Danjue was stunned for a moment: "
…Ma’am, please give me your instructions.”
She has an honest nature, and when she thinks that her life is decided and happiness is expected, she feels even more pitiful.
"Go ahead and tell her that we are masters and slaves. From now on, whether it is Mr. or Mrs. Gongsun, if she is beaten, scolded, insulted, or ill-fed, I will stand up for her." Ruomei was by her side after all.
It is related to the Marquis's house, and it also depends on the owner when it comes to beating a dog.
Danju was a little unable to react, and stuttered: "Beating and scolding?...How could this...sir..."
"That's what you said." The little meatball began to squint his eyes and twist. Minglan stopped explaining and waved her hand to go down.
Danju couldn't figure her head and went out in a daze. She first asked Xiao Cuixiu to call the nurse, and then returned to her room with the sewing basket. She saw Luzhi ironing diapers and slowly kneading them until they softened.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "If you are careful, you can do this work yourself."
Luzhi placed the fire bucket heavily on the small iron frame beside him: "These little hooves, if they have anything good to eat or wear, the soles of their feet will be greased. I teach them to run errands, but one or two of them pretend to be stupid."
!" The baby's diapers need to be dry and soft. There is a lot of rain this time, so why can't they be dried well?
Just as she was complaining, Luzhi looked up and saw Danju's face full of worry. She rolled her eyes and said jokingly: "I saw you were called away again this morning, and Ruomei complained to you again?" Not yet.
When Dan Ju nodded, she smiled again and said, "She should be content for now! I'm afraid the future will be even more miserable!"
Danju was slightly startled: "How do you say this?"
Luzhi used the tongs to add two pieces of charcoal to the fire, and said proudly: "Master Meng said that his eldest brother is getting married. He will be away from home for a few months and will go back to his hometown for a wedding banquet, haha."
"What's the matter..." Before Dan Ju could finish laughing, Lu Zhi took over the topic again, "Master Meng said that after his eldest sister-in-law comes in, his aunt will be relieved of the responsibility of serving and taking care of her. He also said that it's pity that his aunt has to work so hard.
In ten years, if everything goes well, Master Meng may bring her to Beijing this time!"
Danju was shocked: "That Ruomei..."
After all, Mr. Gongsun is a man. Even if he and Ruomei are not on good terms, it will not hinder Ruomei's daily life. But once Mrs. Gongsun comes, it will be like having an immediate boss. Then he will take care of himself in the morning and evening, serve tea and water, it is really...
Danju couldn't help but feel pitiful.
Lu Zhi, however, had a happy face, ironing the diapers smoothly. While ironing, he scolded: "She still has the nerve to complain? Did the husband hit her or scold her? But it was not as considerate as in the play."
It’s just chanting poems with eyebrows. Want to ask the madam to stand up for her?! Damn! Go dream about her spring and autumn dreams! She is here to be a concubine, not an ancestor, how comfortable do you want to be?"
Dan Ju ignored her and just thought to herself: The Marquis was almost half a master to Gongsun Baishi, and Mrs. Gongsun was half a master's wife. The thought of asking Minglan to intercede with Gongsun Baishi with a straight face——
She would not do this no matter what.
The more Luzhi talked, the happier he became. He raised his fire bucket and pointed it at Danju, and said loudly: "Don't be a good person anymore! Don't go to her place anymore. Be careful of getting into trouble!"
Danju frowned slightly: "I have never abused a good person. I am just a few of you. After all, we have been sisters for ten years."
Lv Zhi ironed back and forth with great force, shaking the ironing stand, and kept saying: "In the past ten years, how has she ever looked down on us? I know that she was born as a young lady, and we are slave girls! Now think of it
Sisters."
Danju sighed slightly, turned around and poured a cup of tea for Luzhi, took the fire bucket in her hand and said, "You have a rest, I'll do it."
Lu Zhi walked to the window with a tea bowl in his hand, looking happy.
Danjue started to do it and asked casually: "Where did you hear these tiny pieces?"
"I went to find out personally." Luzhi lowered his head and smiled at the tea bowl, and said happily, "I feel relieved knowing that she is not doing well."
