Adopting a daughter is a problem

Chapter 31

"Hey, tell me why it takes so long to take the Laoshizi Township Examination. You eat and drink in a small shabby house, and you have to cook for yourself. My second brother was raised by a room full of maids and servants. Yes, when did you suffer so much, you will definitely be seriously ill when you come out." Zhao Shuyu complained to Hualuoyangui with a letter.

In the past few days, Zhao Shuyu's second brother went to take part in the provincial examination. Her second sister-in-law was very lonely without her husband's company. Like this, I was very worried in my heart, and there was no one around to talk to, so I thought of my sister-in-law Zhao Shuyu.

With tears in her eyes, she wrote a long letter. In the letter, she wrote about her loneliness and coldness, about how bad her children were and crying for their fathers, and what she remembered about the hard days of the rural examination. of.After reading her letter, Zhao Shuyu also felt sorry for Zhao Chen. It is true that her incomprehensible second brother loved to bully her since childhood, but it was his own second brother after all. Thinking of him suffering, Zhao Shuyu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and only hoped that his second brother would win the exam so that he would not have to continue to suffer three years later.

After hearing her words, Yan Gui quickly comforted her and said: "Ma'am, you can relax, the second young master is a blessed person at first glance, isn't there a saying that all hardships are rewarded, but it's just a few days of hard life , what awaits the second young master is great wealth."

Hearing Yan Gui's clumsy comforting words, Zhao Shuyu couldn't help laughing: "That's that, and I don't know whose brother Zhao Chen is."

As soon as she put the letter away, she picked up a piece of snack and put it into her mouth. While chewing, she suddenly had a strange idea. After she swallowed the snack in her mouth, she looked at the flower with a pair of apricot eyes. Luo Yan returned, and suggested: "You tell me, should I also learn to cook?"

This……

Hua Luoyangui said, neither of them know how to cook, as the hostess, why do you learn this?

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhao Shuyu pursed his lips, and after thinking about it, it seemed that these two people would not come. The two of them had been with her since she was a child, and besides serving her tea and water, helping her dress and wash, I can only embroider and tailor clothes and do some small handwork.

"Why don't you two learn from the cook, and then come and teach me?" Zhao Shuyu suggested again, and she suddenly became interested when she thought of her second brother cooking by herself.

"How can this be done?" Yan Gui said aggrievedly, "Don't you want us to serve you with a pair of rough hands with a whole body of fireworks? Would you like to watch us being smoked into two yellow-faced women?"

That's right, thinking of the smell of oily smoke, Zhao Shuyu immediately retreated in her heart and gave up this sudden idea. She immediately felt sorry for her poor second brother, who was probably cooking with tears in her eyes at this time. Maybe she was choked by the charcoal fire and she burst into tears, sneezed, and her face was covered in ashes. It's so pitiful, but why she couldn't help laughing when she thought of that scene, no, she can't gloat like this, The one who suffers is her second elder brother who has the same father and mother.

Thinking about it, she picked up another piece of pastry. Her second brother who was raised in a pampered environment must have extremely bad craftsmanship, and he must not have any good materials there. This is the most common pastry in his heart at this time, and it must be the same. The rare and delicious delicacies in the world are like dragon liver and phoenix marrow. When she ate it, she felt that this ordinary pastry became even more delicious.

Yan Gui also shook her head. After being together for so many years, she also saw through the thoughts in her wife's heart at a glance. It was because the Second Young Master bullied her so hard that she made her feel distressed and gloat at the same time. It is the eldest young master who has always loved her the most, so it must be another situation.

Alas, that's why, such a good person as the young master left so early.

She still remembers that when she was young, she admired the young master the most, and also liked the young lady who was gentle and kind back then.At that time, she didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but secretly thought about being the concubine of the young master in the past. Now that she thinks about it, she really feels that she is too ridiculous.

That young master, for so many years, has never looked at her more, and the most he has said to her is to ask how her young lady is.

That's right, in the young master's heart, she is just a maid next to his beloved sister, nothing special, probably he has never remembered what she looks like.

When she was young, only Hualuo knew about such a small idea, because the two of them were too close to hide anything.

When she found out that the young master had passed away, the madam locked herself in her room and cried all night, and she also cried all night, for such a good young master, and for her youthful love back then.

As long as she cried, Hua Luo hugged her and comforted her for as long.

Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at Hualuo tenderly. She only hoped that Hualuo could really let go of that matter and be happy forever.

After Hua Luo noticed her gaze, she also turned to look at her and smiled at her.

After Zhao Shuyu gloated and waited anxiously for a while, he finally received a letter from her natal family. Jinjin was also by her side at that time. Looking at her overjoyed look, Jinjin couldn't help asking her curiously: " Shuyu, what's wrong?"

Zhao Shuyu was so happy that she didn't even think this title was awkward. She smiled and shook the letter in front of Jinjin's eyes.

"My second brother, my second brother, he really won! He won Yakui! He! He can still take the test next year! My second brother, my second brother, he is really outstanding!"

She was weeping with joy, her second brother made her family feel proud, and she was actually Master Juren's sister, and her back became several times stiffer in an instant.

The letter said that the congratulatory gifts from various families had piled up into mountains, and some of them guessed that she would like it, so they sent someone to send them.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuyu couldn't help thinking angrily, what about the gift just given by another family, is it really good to pass it on to her as soon as you get it?She is not afraid that others will offend others if they find out, but she is still very happy in her heart. Her father and brother will always miss her in everything.

She hugged the letter and kept giggling, and couldn't laugh anymore when she was smiling. When she was so happy, she just remembered that three years ago, her husband was suffering because of the exam. He became ill as soon as he came back, and when he finally got better, he learned the news of his failure.

Her husband has always had high hopes, and his self-esteem is too strong. Not only does he know the jokes of the neighbors, but he probably thinks more about them.

"Oh..." She couldn't hold back and sighed.

Seeing her smiling, Jinjin suddenly sighed with a lonely face, and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Shuyu smiled at her reluctantly: "It's nothing, don't worry."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yan Gui again and said, "You can back up the gift for me and send it to the Zhao family."

Then she put the letter aside and slumped on the Arhat bed with her head supported, thinking for a long time.

Suddenly, she murmured to Jinjin: "Jinjin, why do people have to die?"

This time, she didn't ask and answer herself, she looked at Jinjin seriously, she just wanted an answer, any messy answer would be fine.

Jinjin tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "If a person is not dead, then everything about him is no longer important?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuyu was taken aback for a moment, and her mind was instantly cleared up. Unexpectedly, her Jinjin's words were really astonishing.

If she doesn't die, what will she gain in the end?She thought, it would only be lonely forever.If she wouldn't die, then she could do whatever she wanted, so what else would she cherish?Anyway, if you don't die, you can start all over again.When everything is no longer precious, it will be very, very tiresome to keep reliving life again and again.A limited life that cannot be repeated is actually very beautiful, and it will make everything in the world more precious.

Thinking up to this point, she smiled and touched Jinjin's head, "Thank you."

Seeing her smile, Jinjin also lowered her head and laughed along with her.

That is, Zhao Shuyu felt it, and began to be a little confused again. How could this Jinjin say such a thing?

When she was about to ask, Jinjin looked at her stupidly again, and blocked her question abruptly.

No matter how stupid this Jinjin is, she can be so stupid.

Could it be that this person is actually pretending to be stupid?

She also thought too much, how could this be possible, could she be so stupid that she couldn't tell the truth?What's more, it's really patient to pretend for a year. Who said that a stupid girl can't speak amazingly. There was a little general in the previous dynasty who was a little stupid, but he still made military achievements. Don't say anything different, she I feel about the same.

Zhao Shuyu, who was only happy because of her brother Zhongju, not long after, ushered in the anniversary of her deceased husband's death. Thinking of her husband who died early, she was also sad, so she took Jinjin to burn incense sticks for him. I wanted to introduce to my late husband that this belonged to my daughter Jinjin, but for some reason, she still couldn't say it out.

Zhao Shuyu couldn't understand herself. Maybe she suddenly felt that it was not good for her to act like a daughter for her husband. Moreover, she thought that with her husband's temperament, she might dislike such a stupid girl. It's better not to say.

Not long after, it was September [-]th. Zhao Shuyu always remembered that Jinjin was picked up by Taohong on this day last year.

She didn't know Jinjin's birthday, so she simply took this day as Jinjin's birthday to live it.

She ordered the cook to make a table of Jinjin's favorite food, and she also asked people to make some new clothes for Jinjin, bought a few new sets of hair, and dressed Jinjin like a little fairy.

Zhao Shuyu looked at Jinjin whose height had already reached the corner of her eyes. Although she was nonsense that Jinjin celebrated her 12th birthday, but from this point of view, she was really sincere. She was still a little girl at the beginning of this year, so why did she grow taller all of a sudden? After so much, the chin is also pointed a little bit, but it looks like a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

However, she also thought of a cousin of hers who lived three thousand miles away and lived farther away. Isn't she a typical anxious-looking person who is as old as a ten-year-old at the age of twelve or thirteen, compared to her cousin? Jia Jinjin is fairly light.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved.

She also told her father, brother and sister-in-law about Jinjin's birthday, and they sent a lot of gifts. Her father and brother are also happy recently. Among the gifts is a set of gold-studded red treasure heads obtained from a merchant in the Western Regions. The ruby ​​red inlaid on the head and face of the whole set looks like pigeon blood, and it has no impurities, and it is also big, so it must be extremely expensive, and the style is not old-fashioned, it is very suitable for young girls.

If it wasn't for Jinjin's birthday, this would probably be in her pocket. She touched the ruby ​​on it, but suddenly felt a little reluctant to give it to Jinjin.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help cursing secretly that she was really short-sighted, isn't it just a set of jewelry, there is nothing better in the world?Her jewelry is almost piled up, and she still thinks about the things her father and brother gave Jinjin.

She put the head mask aside, turned her head to look at Jin Jin who was giggling and had bright red cheeks, and couldn't help but think to herself, if her Jin Jin wore this head mask, she must be very pretty.

By the way, today she hadn't sent out the gift she had prepared, so she trotted to the study and brought back a scroll, and handed it to Jinjin.

She also said shyly: "I haven't painted for a long time, don't be disgusted."

While handing it over, I secretly regretted that I didn't learn Danqing from the female teacher.

She is the person who is the least gift-giving person on weekdays, so it would be too boring to give jewelry, and it is indeed tacky enough. The extremely ugly painting came, and she kept it like a baby.

She then decided to follow suit. Although she was indeed not good at painting, she was always better at drawing than Jinjin.

Facts have proved that if her paintings are placed together with Jinjin's paintings, her paintings can be forcibly rendered into stunning works.

When Jinjin took the picture scroll, she was still a little confused, but when she heard Zhao Shuyu's words, she immediately smiled from her almond eyes into a pair of little moons, revealing her white teeth.

She hurriedly unfolded the scroll, and the painting inside was indeed her, and it was her in scarlet clothes under the rain of pear blossoms.

Zhao Shuyu actually didn't understand why he drew this scene, maybe it was because he thought the pear blossoms at that time were too beautiful.

After Jinjin rolled up the scroll carefully happily, she hugged it tightly in her arms, and couldn't hide her smile.

Her family Shuyu's paintings are really good, although she doesn't look like her at all, she didn't draw one-thousandth of her beauty, but she doesn't dislike it at all, everything that Shuyu touches looks familiar to her Become a priceless treasure, not to mention the picture scroll painted by oneself.
