Another letter from Taicang.
After Lian Shouxin received the letter, Zhang grabbed a few money from the money box and thanked the young man. The family returned home. Wulang went to the Fucheng for an exam. Xiaoqi was in a private school. Only Lian Man'er knew the most. The task of pronunciating Xin naturally fell on Lian Man'er.
"Your master has not sent a letter for a long time. I wonder what happened this time?" Lian Shouxin said.
Since the last letter of explanation, and then the letter of asking for a letter to say that Lian Jizu was going home to visit the grave next year, Mr. Lian has never written a letter back.
In fact, the frequency of correspondence between letters is already very frequent compared to ordinary people. However, compared to the frequency of letters from Mr. Lian at the beginning, the frequency of letters was less.
Even Man'er couldn't guess what would happen in the letter, so she opened the envelope and took out the letter to read it.
This letter is not long, but not short.
After Lian Man'er finished reading the letter, Lian Shouxin was silent for a while.
"Your master didn't say anything." After silence, Lian Shouxin asked Lian Man'er, "Man'er, I don't understand the words you wrote. I didn't say anything in this letter, right?"
"Well, I didn't say anything." Lian Man'er nodded.
Even the old man didn't mention anything in this letter. He rarely talked about Taicang. He asked about the situation in Sanshiliyingzi, which was to inquire about some family matters, spring farming and other things.
In the past, even the old man had some instructions when he wrote letters. This was like a chatting letter, which made Zhang a little strange.
"My old man is... homesick." After thinking for a while, Wan Shouxin said.
Lian Man'er didn't say anything, but just put the letter away. She knew in her heart that as Lian Shouxin said, Lian was homesick, or to be more precise, Lian was already willing to return.
Taicang was in a prosperous life, but even the old man wanted to go back to Sanshiliyingzi.
"I may live a life over there now, and I will enjoy more happiness." Zhang said.
"The old man is not a person who wants to enjoy it." Lian Shouxin said, "Follow him to Taicang, and I said it at that time. I just want to watch more to save..."
It will prevent Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi from doing anything wrong and causing trouble.
Even Shouxin said half of the words, but I won’t say them anymore.
Mr. Lian said this at the time, but he followed him, what was the result? Lian Xiuer's marriage, Lian Shouren's concubine, Ping's wife, and what the old man refused to mention in the letter, what Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi do now.
Even the old man didn't even watch his two sons.
Now that I miss home, I want to come back because I am disappointed with it. Do you understand that even if he is there, it will not work?
No, Lian Man'er shook her head. The old man had a desire to return, but he would not really come back. He had to continue watching Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi, even if he couldn't stand it, he always had to do his best. Therefore, the old man missed homesome and was so helpless in the letter.
"Master," Zhang sighed, "I won't tell us about Taicang's affairs. Yes, he is still like that. We know, what can we do... Yingzi's father came back from Taicang the day before yesterday. It seems that he made a fortune."
"Man'er, your letter didn't mention Yingzi's father's matter?" Zhang was doing needlework and thread, and then raised his head and asked Lian Man'er.
"No." Lian Man'er said authentically.
"This village lives in it, and I don't see you. His master didn't give me any regulations. What should we do with that family?"
"What can we do? It's not about the rules of wealthy families. Those who are young are not relatives. We should do whatever we want and have nothing to wait for him." Even Shouxin said, obviously he didn't like Yingzi and Yingzi's family.
Lian Man'er couldn't help but secretly glance at Lian Shouxin. She was a little curious. Is Lian Shouxin's attitude out of nature or was this the case when he was beaten by Zhang last time?
No matter which one, this attitude is really good.
As for Yingzi's parents' family is not a relative, Lian Man'er is reserved about it. Yingzi is a young man, but she doesn't seem to be sold to the Lian family. If you want to be serious, maybe they will be classified as a good concubine. Moreover, even if the Lian family says that Yingzi's family is not a relative, you can't help but Yingzi's father doesn't think so.
It can be seen from Yingzi's father's actions that he was a mess. He didn't understand any rules and etiquette at all, and he couldn't even explain the reasoning with such a person.
"If you don't mention it, you must think it's hard to mention it. The old man has a good face, so how can you mention it?" Lian Shouxin said again, "Anyway, we know it myself, so we don't need to give him a good face. We just don't recognize his relative."
This is very true. It seems that Lian Shouxin still knows Mr. Lian very well.
"Mom, look at my father, now you can understand everything. This must be because you have too many words to recognize. Mom, don't be busy with your work. If you have time, learn two more words." Lian Man'er smiled.
After hearing Lian Man'er telling her to learn to recognize and write, Zhang was obviously scared.
"I have your father and you guys, so I have to learn this. I have time, so how good I can make needles and threads for you. By the way, Man'er, don't you have any recipes written by scholars? If it's okay, just tell me that. I can learn this. If I have time, I will make some delicious food for you guys. It's better than if I can't recognize a big word in a day."
Even Shuxin, even Man'er and Lian Zhi'er were bothered to laugh.
When it comes to studying and practicing calligraphy, it really requires talent. Lian Shuxin and Zhang are about the same age. Judging from Zhang's skillfulness and learning, it is particularly difficult for him to study. On the contrary, Lian Shuxin is much better than Zhang's.
"The old Lian family has the root of studying." Zhang whispered.
In this era, scholars were of great importance. When the Zhang family and Lian family got married, in addition to Zhang Qingshan and Mr. Lian who were old acquaintances and trusted Mr. Lian's character and family tradition, there was another point, which was because Mr. Lian could not only learn to write well by himself, but also at that time, Lian Shouren was admitted to the scholar. The Zhang family felt that the Lian family could be a scholar.
The letter was put down. The family talked for a while, but no one mentioned it. Even Shouxin was even more interested in keeping Shen Liu for dinner because Zhang just mentioned the recipe.
"When it comes to the dish that was cooked according to the recipe," Lian Shouxin said, "It tastes very good and looks good when it is made. It's just that it's too delicate. It's not as good as our big piece of fish and big piece of meat to eat. Just the table of dishes made for Master Liu that day, you have to use that to entertain people. As soon as people leave the door, they may pay attention to us. But Master Liu likes to eat it very much."
"I understand this principle." Zhang smiled and said, "Isn't that what Man'er said? What people do? What people do? Our village households pay attention to big fish and meat, and what Liu Master eats is different from our village households."
"Mom, the steamed chicken you made that day was so delicious. Steamed fish was also delicious." Lian Man'er exaggeratedly.
Zhang was a little proud.
"That's right, when it comes to reading and reading, I can't do it. If you want to cook, let alone cook, I can learn it even if you watch others cook it once... You all love to eat that chicken and fish? Then when Wulang comes back from the capital city, we will kill another chicken. We have ready-made fish. I will make it again and give it to you specifically."
"Okay, mom, then we'll make up." Lian Man'er smiled.
"Wulang is coming to the capital city today, I'm afraid it will be dark. I'm so far away, I don't know if I'm used to living there or not, and I have to take exams..." Zhang's thoughts floated to Wulang, who was far away in the capital city again.
"Mom, don't worry. My brother can take good care of himself. Besides, there are my brother Youheng and his classmates." Lian Man'er comforted Zhang.
"Well, your brother is a child who is sensible early and doesn't make people worry." Zhang sighed.
…………
The weather is getting warmer and warmer. It is about to be the end of April, and May Day is coming again. The lotus leaves in the lotus pond are already densely grown, which makes people think of the poem He Tiantian's lotus leaves.
When Goro was not at home, Mr. Lu often took Xiaoqi over. There was a shed where long-term workers lived in the Lotus Pond. Even Shouxin simply asked someone to build a pavilion next to the Lotus Pond, so that Mr. Lu could sit in the pavilion and drink tea, watch the view of the Lotus Pond, or take Xiaoqi there to teach his homework.
The fish in the pond are growing quite well. There are already restaurants in the town and wealthy families near villages and towns to inquire about when fresh fish will be sold, how much is the price, etc.
The crops in the fields also emerged. Even Man'er went to the ground to see them in person, especially the wheat field. Because of the fertile ground, the rainfall this spring was enough, and the wheat seedlings emerged very neatly. The workers have already pulled grass once, and other corn, sorghum, millet, peanuts, etc. have also grown well.
After May, Lian Man'er's family began to prepare for the May Day, which is the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhang also talked about Wulang more often.
The government examination was held in late April, and there were three consecutive exams. It is estimated that Goro's itinerary should be back in the past two days.
After a while, Zhang's mother and wife, Zhao, Lian Ye'er, and two wives who invited the helper to make dumplings in the shop. This year, Lian Ji is the same as last year, and will sell the dumplings for a few days.
"It's the second year of the Chinese New Year, why haven't you come back yet? I agreed to come back to celebrate the festival." Zhang muttered again.
"Mom, isn't this the second year of the lunar calendar? My brother will definitely be back in three days." Lian Man'er smiled.
As he was talking, he heard the sound of a carriage outside. Zhang subconsciously stood up and looked outside.
"Oh, Man'er, look, is your brother back?" Zhang said.
At the same time, Xiao Qi's cheerful cry came from outside.
"Dad, mom, sister, my brother is back. My brother passed the exam again."
