I won't do the task of traveling quickly

Chapter 326 Vacation World (2)

Not long after He Yu sent the system away, she was about to go to the back room to see the environment of the Zhao family, but before she could get up, she heard a rustling sound from behind.So she turned her head to look, and saw a very thin boy coming out of the back room.

The boy was only wearing an ordinary plain linen jacket, which didn't look too thick either.His whole body was like a young shoot soaked in the cold winter, swaying left and right in the cold wind, his hands and feet couldn't help but began to tremble.

This young man looks quite tall and straight, and his appearance can be considered handsome, but he looks a little dull, and his demeanor is rigid and well-behaved.Seeing He Yu turning his head to look at him, the young man just raised his eyelids a little, and sat on the side stool by himself.

He Yu remembered Zhao's mother's instructions before leaving, and couldn't help reminding: "Brother, mother told you to wear that new jacket, why are you still wearing this old one?"

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up and brought him the remaining half bowl of hot porridge.The eggs and pickled ginger had already been eaten, so He Yu had no choice but to pull a long cowpea from the jar under the stove.She simply didn't chop it into pieces, just piled it into the porridge bowl and served it to the table.

"Brother, have breakfast." He Yu called him respectfully.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, although her elder brother is good at reading, he is completely inattentive.Presumably, he wouldn't care so much about his daily food.

Sure enough, Zhao Mansheng didn't notice that today's breakfast was slightly different from the past. He was still chanting a small poem he had just recited last night.When he heard his sister's question, he stopped reciting and muttered in reply: "Nothing, this one is also warm."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and started his breakfast.However, this man even acted in a precise manner when eating, as if eating was just a task that needed to be completed.Seeing this, He Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes secretly.

When Zhao Mansheng finally finished his breakfast, he went back to the back room to study.In order to prevent Zhao's mother from coming back and nagging, He Yu simply cleaned up the dishes before returning to the original owner's room.

Although the original owner was the only daughter of the Zhao family, and the only girl in several generations, her treatment was not at all comparable to that of Zhao Mansheng.Her room was full of half-old household items, and the bed and cabinets looked pitch black.From the off-white curtains on the bed, it can be seen that this is a woman's boudoir.

There is also a half-old embroidery frame next to the bed, and there is still an unfinished embroidery on it.He Yu walked over and tried to embroider a few stitches. Fortunately, with the memory of the original owner's body, she became familiar with it after a while.

Now that she is idle and has nothing to do, she simply followed the original owner's work and continued to do embroidery work.When the veil was about to be finished, Mother Zhao finally came back cursing.

She saw her daughter doing embroidery work in the back room, so she couldn't lose her temper.It's just that there is no outlet for venting, and the whole person is terribly aggrieved.

He Yu was still fine when he left in the morning, so He Yu asked curiously, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"What else can I do." Zhao's mother sat down on the low stool by the bed, and complained, "It's not that Ying Sanniang, this damn vixen, actually bullied my old lady."

This Ying Sanniang is the proprietress of the small cloth shop on the corner of the street, and I don't know when she came to Yu County to open this shop.It seems that Zhao's mother has been selling some embroidery in this "Sanniang Cloth Village" since the original owner could remember.

Ying Sanniang is beautiful, even though she is not a young girl, she still has charm.The men in the county usually talk about her a lot when they are chatting, even an honest man like Father Zhao is no exception.

Zhao's mother was uncomfortable at first, and her mouth was still broken, so she often talked about Ying Sanniang in private.

After a while, he said which family she was a runaway concubine, maybe she came to this small county because she stole money from the master's family.After a while, she said that she might be the young lady of some family, and she hid here because she was caught stealing.

These are all things that have no shadow, and I don't know how they got out.

In short, in Zhao's mother's eyes, this Ying Sanniang is a kind of Hu Meizi, and many women in the city also feel this way.However, seeing that the two of them had business dealings in normal times, Zhao's mother was still restrained, but she didn't know why she was so angry today.

Before He Yu could continue to ask, Zhao's mother said everything in one go: "At first, she charged me twenty copper coins for each handkerchief, but when I went today, she said that she would drop two copper coins. Originally, she didn't earn money. This is how we live."

"There must be some reason, right?" He Yu asked doubtfully, "You can't just lower the price for no reason."

When Zhao's mother heard this, she said angrily: "There is no reason. A few days ago, Aunt Li and I said some bad things about her, and they must have spread to her ears. No, you dare to play tricks on me, look at it How can I take care of her in the future?"

In fact, He Yu felt from the limited memory of the original owner that this Ying Sanniang was not this kind of person.But now that Zhao's mother was angry, she probably couldn't listen to her explanation, so He Yu had no choice but to remain silent.

Fortunately, in the next few days, I don't know whether Zhao's mother died down on her own, or if she really didn't catch Ying Sanniang, she didn't mention it anymore.He just urged He Yu to do needlework all day long.

At noon that day, not long after He Yu finished his lunch, Li Jiaojiao next door suddenly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and came to play with her.

This Li Jiaojiao is the daughter of Aunt Li next door. They are the only two girls of similar age in the whole alley, so she has a good relationship with the original owner.Usually, after the work in their hands is finished, the two of them always get together to chat.

"I saw your mother entered the back room so I dared to come to you." She said, taking out a large handful of melon seeds from her pocket and handing them to He Yu, "Hey, my mother made these, and they used the best star anise It’s fried. She also said to sell it on the street tomorrow, and I snatched a few while she wasn’t paying attention, and my sister and I ate it.”

When He Yu heard the words, she was immediately rude, and after she took it, she started eating sunflower seeds.

Aunt Li's cooking skills are good, and the snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts fried by her family can be smelled from far away.The Zhao family is still next door to the Li family, so He Yu has long been greedy.

Li Jiaojiao was not at all formal, she took off her shoes and sat down directly on the kang.

Feeling the long-lost warmth, she couldn't help sighing: "It's better to have your home, you won't catch cold if you burn the kang all day long."

It is naturally impossible for poor families to prepare charcoal fires in winter, which is very expensive.It was because Zhao Mansheng wanted to study, so Father Zhao reluctantly bought some, but he couldn't help using them all day, so the Zhao family simply burned the kang all day long.Although it took a little effort, it would not freeze the scholars at home.

He Yu said helplessly: "It's not like you don't know that my eldest brother can't be frozen. If he gets frostbite on his hands, it will make my mother very distressed."
