When Mrs. Deng went out, she happened to meet Mother Liu who had just returned, followed by Da Niu and Da Shitou. Da Niu was carrying something in both hands, and Da Shitou was holding a big bamboo basket.

It's New Year's Eve in two days, and Aunt Mei happened to go to the shop today. Mother Liu was busy purchasing the New Year's Eve dinner, as well as ingredients and regular supplies for the first few days of the first month. A few days ago, Aunt Mei had already purchased a large amount of food.

Yesterday, the two of them took stock of some of them and planned to add some more. Mother Liu will buy them all now.

Starting tomorrow, until the tenth day of the first lunar month, there will be no one selling anything in the market, and few shops will be open.

Mrs. Deng glanced at Mama Liu and was secretly surprised. Although Mama Liu was simply dressed, except for a jade hairpin in her bun, and she didn’t wear any gorgeous jewelry, the magnanimity she naturally exuded from her body was no less than that of Damingfu City.

Those official ladies here.

Mrs. Deng was sold to a wealthy family as a maid when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. Her previous owner was also a fourth-rank official in the capital. As the eldest maid (later the mother in charge) beside the head of the family, she naturally had a certain level of knowledge and hearing. Later.

The master's family committed a crime and she was auctioned off as an official slave. She met the Zhen family who sold their daughter and opened a restaurant to make a fortune.

Old Mrs. Zhen also wanted to imitate the rich and noble official family, so she bought her family. It must be considered a prestige, the old lady has always been kind to her, and her suggestions are often adopted.

Mrs. Deng squinted her eyes: Who is this person? Why is he at the Xia family?

If Mother Liu was dressed more luxuriously, Mrs. Deng might guess which lady from the Xu family she was? But...

Erniu ran over to take the little bundle from Mother Liu's hand: "Mother Liu is back? The red date soup is ready, I'll bring it to you."

Mother Liu handed over the bundle with a smile: "Okay. Big Stone, Big Girl. Put your things away, and wash your hands first and drink some red date soup to warm your heart and lungs. Big Stone, don't forget to ask Big Girl to put those things away when you go back."

A dozen pieces of cloth and furs, yes, and snacks are brought back to you. Those are the rewards given by the young master and the girl to everyone. The names are all written on them, and I asked the village head to distribute them to each family."

Big Shitou said "Hey" and scratched his head happily: "Thank you girl and the two young masters, thank you Mother Liu." Since their family and the village were bought by the Xia family, the days have become more and more comfortable. The output of their village has always been

Very good, but the previous masters are still not satisfied. It would be nice to be less harsh on them. How can they treat them as kindly as the three young masters now?

The eldest young master also said that from now on, 10% of Zhuangzi’s income will be given to everyone as a New Year’s bonus. In other words, the better the output of Zhuangzi, the more dividends they can receive. Now Zhuangzi’s

Every household works hard, fearing that others will hold them back.

Mother Liu? Mother Deng remembered what Shuyao said to Shuwen just now, "If Mother Liu sees it, I'll say you're impatient again."

Haven't you heard that my cousin has a mother? The way she talks has a lot of say in this yard. There is also the little maid named Erniu, and the two people who came back with Liu's mother, they are all newly bought

Servant? She also bought Zhuangzi? It seems that the girl's family is living a good life. More importantly, I don't know where this mother comes from? Who found her? Such a full-body style is not something you can do casually.

Found it at Yapo’s place!

With her by the cousin girl's side, can the old lady and the eldest lady still cooperate with the Murong Mansion's eldest lady to successfully plot against the cousin girl? If not careful, the Zhen family will be pushed out. I heard that the Golden Tongue and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion

Madam takes great care of the cousin's three brothers and sisters, otherwise Madam Murong would not have planned this matter without telling Minister Murong and Uncle Murong.

No, I still have to remind the old lady that her little grandson is just one month old and she doesn't want the whole family to be auctioned off again. Mrs. Deng made up her mind and left in a hurry with the little maid in Tsing Yi and rushed back to Daming Mansion.

Xia Shuqing, who was sitting on the chair, stood up and saluted Mother Liu. Her movements were beautiful and standard.

Mother Liu stepped aside and smiled politely: "Miss Qing from the Xia Mansion, right? You are our elder sister's clan sister, and you are a guest when you come across the door. How can I accept Miss Qing's courtesy? You sit with my elder sister,

I'm going to wash my hands."

Liu's mother took Shuyao's empty bowl and left, leaving Erniu to accompany her. Erniu was very smart and attentive, and the whole family's status was with the Xia family. She had to train her well so that she wouldn't be able to follow the girl.

Bad things, causing trouble. Depending on Mr. Jin’s intention, he will take his three children to Beijing in three years. Even if he doesn’t go to Beijing as soon as he is discharged, Shujie will definitely bring his younger brothers and sisters with him if he can be named on the gold list.

The capital city is not like this Yulin Town. A girl's family must pay special attention to every move she makes. She must bring two smart and reliable personal maids with her wherever she goes. If the personal maids are not careful, it will easily affect the girl's reputation.

Shuqing wanted to show her gentleness and courtesy in front of Liu's mother. It would be best if she could make her like her, at least leaving a good image. Unfortunately, she was frustrated to find that Liu's mother's smiling face had the words "Keep a respectful distance" engraved on it.

Character.

Shu Qing secretly clenched her fists to cheer herself up. There was nothing she could not do that she wanted to do. In her previous life, none of her direct sisters and concubines had been toyed with by her, until her brother-in-law...

"Adai, bring the gift I prepared for sister Yao'er." Shu Qing hid all her thoughts and ordered with a smile.

A'dai took out a blue brocade box from the small bag she was carrying and handed it over. Shuqing looked at Shuyao and said with a smile: "Sister Yao'er, this is a gadget I came up with accidentally. It's called 'Qiqiao'."

It's for you and Wen'er to play with. It's not valuable, but I made it with my own hands." Then he opened the lid of the box, and there was a square thin board inside. To the touch, it should be a wooden board wrapped with fine cotton cloth and finely sewn together.

of.

It's just that a whole square has been cut into seven pieces: two large triangles, two small triangles, a medium-sized triangle, a small square, and a rhombus. Each piece is wrapped in a different color of cloth.

Shuyao looked at Shuqing strangely, what is she going to do with it? Although she is a child, she is still six years old, so she is not still grabbing colorful wood chips and having fun, right? Shuqing is thoughtful enough, and is afraid that she will cut her hand.

Wrap it in cloth?

Shuqing smiled mysteriously, took the tangram cards, placed them on the box, and quickly spelled out a cute little duck. Shuyao's eyes lit up, it was so interesting!

Shu Qing pursed her lips and continued to move the seven small plates. A beautiful butterfly appeared in front of Shu Yao's eyes.

Seeing Shuyao's sparkling eyes full of curiosity and interest, even the sense of alienation that seemed to have formed an instinctive reaction was inadvertently reduced, and Shuqing felt a sense of pride in her heart.

There is no "Seven Skills" in this world, but in the Qing Dynasty in Shu Qing's previous life, "Seven Skills" became very popular after the "Seven Skills Pictures" written by "Yangzhuo layman" was published.

Because "Seven Skills Cards" is cleverly designed and endlessly varied, both adults and children like it. Many people can forget to eat and sleep while playing. When Shu Qing first started playing, she stayed up all night several times to indulge in it.

Shuqing was very proud at that time, because no one in the entire bachelor's house played better than her, except for the man she had to call "brother-in-law". That is to say, after that competition with her brother-in-law, she fell in love

The handsome, talented and handsome general's brother-in-law embarked on the road of no return... and finally came to Dazhou.

Shuqing's eyes shrank slightly, and her long curly eyelashes covered the stinging pain under her eyes. She took out a large folded piece of paper from the bottom of the brocade box and unfolded it. There were many "Qiqiao tiles" drawn on it.

The completed picture. "Sister Yao'er, at the beginning, you can look at this picture and puzzle it together. Later you can try to imagine it yourself. The more shapes you make, the more you will like it. If you want to see it, I will give it a try.

I’ll draw some spellings later. I also made a set of these ‘Seven Skill Cards’ and asked my aunt to take them to the capital for sister Wu’er. We can compete against each other if we have the opportunity in the future.”

Shuyao was looking at the picture intently and nodded unconsciously, which made Shuqing extremely happy.

However, once the point is made, Shuqing will not be eager to make friends with Shuyao right now. In her previous life, her Ama once said that managing the relationship between people and using them is like letting go.

The kite and string are in your own hands. The key is to know how to control the strength according to changes in wind strength and other conditions: tighten it, or relax it.

"Okay, sister Yao'er, you can like it. I'll be out for a while. It's time to go back. I'll see you next time." Shuqing stood up to say goodbye and took an oil paper bag from Mother Lu's hand: "This is mine.

I learned how to make hawthorn cake from Mother Lu. During the Chinese New Year, we eat greasy food. This hawthorn cake is just right to relieve greasiness and aid digestion. My sister will keep it and try it. If you like it, I will make it again next time and send you some."

It was neither gold nor silver, nothing valuable. Shuqing kept insisting that she made it herself, so it was hard to refuse. Shuyao thought about it and accepted it.

Shuqing was not prepared to give Shuyao a chance to refuse or "return the favor". She only asked Shuyao to say hello to Shujie, Shuwen, and Mother Liu on her behalf, and then took Mother Lu and A'dai out of the yard.

Looking at the "Seven Skills Cards" and then at Shu Qing's back, Shuyao had a doubt in her heart: These "Seven Skills Players" are undoubtedly a good thing. Xia Ruoxue brought a set back, and it should be "popular" in the capital soon.

"When everyone is eager to know more about how to play, Shu Qing, who figured out this thing, will become famous.

But why didn't Shuqing in her previous life launch the "Qiqiao Cards"? Even if she was willing to let go of this opportunity, neither Xia Linyu nor Zhou would let it go.

In addition, as far as she knows, Shuqing hates going to the kitchen. She doesn't know how to cook any food or snacks, and she is unwilling to learn. She likes to pretend in other aspects, but she is particularly "frank" in this aspect. Shuyao saved Shuqing back then.

When Shuqing was marrying off her maid Qiaohe, Qiaohe said that Shuqing didn’t want to hide this because she didn’t want to stay in the kitchen for a moment, so she wasn’t even willing to cheat. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
