There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 056

Washing three times is very simple. After he came back, he heard from Jasmine that the full moon and hundred days can't be done too much, because she is a girl, and she is in the mourning period, so she might have to wait until she is one year old before she can be brought out to see people.

Wu Youwei was speechless after hearing this. Could it be that when the child grows up, he will not know him when he sees him?

"Forget it, when the moon is full, send the newly made bookmark." Wu Youwei pointed to his masterpiece: "I hope she can know the book in the future.

But in the past few days, some of his classmates' regular attendants or book boys came to see him. Xiaoxiao had met them a few times before, and once gave them gifts. After getting acquainted with them, he showed off Wu Youwei's Twelve Occasion Flowers to them. bookmarks.

When Wu Youwei was fifteen, he went to pay his respects to the old lady, probably because he had a new granddaughter, and the old lady couldn't help but express it, so she kept them for breakfast, which Wu Youwei ate was bland and tasteless.

On the contrary, Wu Jun gathered everyone to name the new baby girl.

The names of the girls in the Wu family are all named by Shan Liren, Qian'er, Pei'er, Yi'er, and You'er.

Wu Jun proposed a lot of words beside the single person, and everyone discussed them together. Only Mrs. Wu was not happy: "What name should I choose? It's not too late to talk about it after the first birthday. The child is so young, so it's appropriate to name it in advance?"

People at this time are very feudal and superstitious. They think that children's names are given early, and they will be recorded by Lord Yama.

"The daughter of my Wu family is different from other families. She must have a name and surname." Wu Jun said, "And this child is the posthumous daughter of the second child, so you must cherish it."

Mrs. Wu didn't understand what the eldest son meant, but it sounded like it was for the good of the Wu family, so she kept silent. In fact, she just felt that the second wife had to work so hard to get a daughter, and that the second wife was too flattering.

As for the name of the King of Hades, she just found an excuse. Whether the second room's brat is dead or alive has nothing to do with her.

Wu Ying didn't care, among the young ladies, only Wu Qian'er had studied, the two concubines had only learned needlework, and it wasn't time for them to go to school, and the youngest one was just over one year old.

In the pile of texts, every Wu Jun asked Wu Maid, as if the two brothers were good friends, and Wu Youwei didn't understand why they were making trouble.

But since people asked, he should refer to it. Anyway, a child's name is to be with her for the rest of his life, so he took it very seriously.

"Let's call it Li'er. The second elder brother and the second sister-in-law are deeply in love with each other. The second elder brother is gone, and the second sister-in-law is determined to stay... She is posthumous again..." Wu Youwei pointed to the word "Li" and said: "Wu Li'er, it's very good. I hope she and my uncle can have a deep love as husband and wife in the future.

"That's right, let's call it Li'er." Wu Jun didn't know what he thought of, and sighed.

Thus, the young lady who was the second wife's concubine had a name, Wu Li'er.

When Wu Youwei went back to the small courtyard, he happened to meet Liu Daxia's book boy who came to see him, and the little one was looking at his bookmark of twelve o'clock flowers together.

Liu Daxia's book boy is different from Xiaoxiao's book boy who became a monk halfway through. His knowledge is not inferior to any scholar.

He also had a unique vision. When he saw Wu Youwei came back, he immediately said: "Master Wu's craftsmanship is getting better and better. This bookmark is absolutely perfect!"

"It's just a hobby." Wu Youwei smiled: "How is your master?"

"Okay, my wife has arrived, and so has the young master. I live in a three-entry courtyard house in the middle city, and I have settled down." The book boy said with a smile: "Master likes everything you sent. See you, young master." I also like the bookmark, but it's a pity that the master doesn't give it to me. I only give one if the young master has memorized the book."

Wu Youwei laughed when he heard this, but he didn't expect Liu Daxia to have such a heart of pity for his son, so he thought he was very strict.

In the next few days, people came to see him one after another, and many people knew about the bookmark of Twelve Occasion Flowers, and they all said it vividly when they went back, saying "exquisite".

In the Wu family, the newborn was given a name. When the child was full moon, Wu Jun opened the ancestral hall and recorded it in the family tree.

Wu Youwei's congratulatory gift was also sent over. It is said that the second wife liked it very much, and she said at the time that she would keep it as a dowry for the young lady. It was a good thing made by her little uncle himself.

After hearing this, Wu Qian'er from the big room curled her lips and said, "What kind of fun can it be? I don't know much about it.

Just two days after he said this, he was slapped in the face.

It turned out that a few bookboys often went back with them, and they all told their masters that the bookmarks with twelve o'clock flowers made by Mr. Wu are exquisite, small and elegant.

Wu Youwei didn't know that he kept his filial piety at home, but the bookmarks he made had already made a splash outside, especially his two masters, they even praised this disciple who had never seen him as an apprentice, and the gifts given by his disciples were brought with him every day. On the body, several classmates are interns in the Hanlin Academy, and each of them is obsessed with reading books. Naturally, they need bookmarks.

Pian Wu Youwei's bookmarks are well done, some people are greedy and want to buy them, but there is no place to sell them!

Although Wu Youwei doesn't go out, he has long been famous outside. It is said that although he is young, he is a little celebrity who loves elegance.

In the earth forest, he also gained a little fame.

And the Sun family also knew about the mess Wu Sun did. Sun Tong's wife specially called the old woman beside her to come over. She didn't know what she said to Wu Sun. When Wu Sun was the housekeeper later, He has a much better attitude towards Wu Youwei's small courtyard.

Things like salutes are also prepared in advance, and they will no longer be skimpy or perfunctory.

Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival is in June, and the weather is starting to heat up. Fortunately, this is in ancient times. Although there is no air conditioner, the heat can still be tolerated.

On this day, two daughters-in-law of the Hanlin family came to see the second wife.

At that time, Mrs. Wu Sun was teaching her eldest daughter, Wu Qianer, to be a housekeeper. When she heard about it, she thought she had heard it wrong: "Who are you looking for?"

"Visit the second wife." The housekeeper was also very puzzled.

"The second family...isn't her natal family a juren?" Wu Sun thought for a long time before remembering the situation of her sister-in-law's natal family: "And her natal family is in Tongzhou, and her father... is a juren." , teaching at Tongzhou Academy."

Mrs. Wu was in a daze to choose for a long time, and because Wu Pang's reputation in Beijing was too bad back then, she couldn't find a suitable one. That's why we talked about this marriage.

The in-laws in Tongzhou were fine in previous years, but now they know that their family values ​​filial piety and their daughter is a widow. Last year, they didn’t even give them much annual presents. In previous years, they could have something like ham, but this year they only gave mushrooms.

Speaking of which, Tongzhou and the four counties under its jurisdiction belong to Shuntian Prefecture.

It's just that Shuntian Mansion is a bit bigger, and they are a little farther away from each other than the common prefectures of the same state.

Tongzhou is the northern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

"What do these two Hanlins have to do with her natal family?" Now that Yingzong is in power, the Hanlins have become noble, and it has become the law of fashion for non-Hanlins to enter the cabinet.

Therefore, nowadays Hanlin bachelors are also very expensive.

"I don't know, these two families have no contact at ordinary times, but the person who came here was the confidant housekeeper next to the head wife." The housekeeper said: "They only want to see the second wife, and they didn't say why."

"Take it with you, let the person in the second room ask about it." Mrs. Wu sent the housekeeper away, still thinking about something.

Wu Qian'er had been listening just now, and seeing her mother was a little confused, she asked, "Is it a student taught by the father and brother of the second aunt's family?"

"Impossible." Mrs. Wu shook her head: "Your second aunt's family's father and brother taught most people to pass the Jinshi exam and get into the Imperial Academy. At most, they are Shujishi, and they are still students in the Imperial Academy!

The second sibling's natal family is not a prominent family, and her father and brother taught all children, not even a scholar, and her own students worked hard in the imperial examination, and they won some scholars under their names, and some were lucky enough to pass the exam, but they were admitted ..... Never heard of it!

Just as the mother and daughter were guessing, the housekeeper came back with a strange expression on her face.

"What's going on?" Wu Sun immediately asked her.

"Go back to Ma'am, those two are from two Hanlin Scholars' Mansions. They were sent by their wives because of their master. When I went back, I mentioned the twelve-hour flower bookmark that the young master gave to the young lady. It is said that it is very exquisite. , very envious, their wives wanted to ask the second wife to take a look." The housekeeper said incredulously: "For this reason, the two families even gave a generous gift."

Such a big Ganoderma lucidum, such a good ginseng, knowing that their family keeps filial piety, one is given to the second wife's wife a set of pearl face, and the other is given to the young lady with a box of small pearls. It is just right to make some small jewelry for the young lady to wear in the future.

"The set of twelve o'clock flower bookmarks that the little master gave you?" Wu Sunshi knew about those things, but she didn't see where it was good?

And because the little master did it himself, what is it worth?

Wu Qian'er was even more dumbfounded: "Just that... tattered wood?"

The corner of the butler's mouth twitched: ""...it's...Wu Qian'er...! ! "

Later, I sent someone to inquire about it, and it was true!

The second wife didn't give it away, but let the two housekeepers who are good at drawing look carefully, drew it down, and planned to find someone to make a set.

This is much better than sending it over for a look and then changing it back.

Those who got the trick were naturally happy, and my master personally made a twelve-hour flower bookmark with his own characteristics.

After waiting for two days, someone came to see the second wife's wife again, and it was because of this matter.

From the ordinary small Hanlin, to the concubine, and then to the head of the Hanlin Academy, half of the people who have a reputation in the Hanlin Academy come!

This shock was not small, and some people followed suit, and it was also an elegant thing, so the little girl of the second room was born not long ago, and she was famous all over Hanlin.

We all know that the second room of the Wu family has a newborn young lady.

Wu Youwei is even more famous, the twelve o'clock flower bookmark made by his uncle.

There are so many imitations, even bookstores sell them, but a few servants from my classmates saw the imitations and said they were good, but they were still not as good as the originals.

Cicadas in midsummer squeaked on the tree, Wu Youwei took a nap accompanied by cicadas' cries, and he was still sweating after getting up, which shows that the sun is still very hot in this midsummer.

The Wu family is not a wealthy family, and they don't have an ice cellar. In the future, they will be the masters of their own house, so they must have a big ice cellar for use as a refrigerator!

I slapped the cattail fan hard, it was hot!

It happened that Jasmine came in with a plate of fresh Jingbaguo fruits, and Wu Youwei immediately took a small melon, half of it in one gulp!

"Little master, be careful not to lose your teeth!" Jasmine was almost dumbfounded.

"The weather is too hot." Wu Youwei basically doesn't leave the house during the day, and he doesn't dare to get too close to the windows. Only when there is a storm in the house can we stay. "Yeah, it's hot and sweaty." Jasmine said, "Would you like to boil some hot water and take a bath?"

"No need to burn it. Everyone in the kitchen is suffering now. Our tea room is even more stuffy. You asked Da Shanhai to bring well water, put it in a big wooden barrel or a big wooden basin, and put it in the yard to dry. When the sun sets, you will be able to bask in the heat, and those who want to take a bath at that time, find a hidden place to have a good bath, and this day, you will be flooded with sweat!" Wu Youwei didn't want the little girl to Go to boil water on a hot day, if you don't get bored and suffer from heatstroke, you will get prickly heat.

How good is his method?

It saves charcoal people and does not suffer.

Save energy and no pollution.

"Okay, I will listen to the young master." Jasmine smiled and went out to find someone to order.

In fact, people in the village often use this method, but their Wu family is also a family of officials and eunuchs. It always feels a bit cheap to use such a crude method to heat bath water.
