Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 18

The day after Zhengdan, everything is fine, including quarrels.

At the time of the incident, Shao Shang was writing. She glanced at the copybook after writing, and then looked at the copybook after drawing. Her tired forehead was faintly sweating. She had noticed these days that these words seemed to be closer to hieroglyphics, each word like a small stick figure. 'Water' is a few curved lines, like water flow, 'river' means there are houses and mountains next to the water, and 'eat' means that there is a small bowl in front of the line in the shape of lips and throat.

She put down her pen and turned over the wooden slips next to the case. This was an interesting folk story brought to her by Cheng Zong from the market a few days ago. Each piece was about three inches wide and four or five inches long. Burrs - the ones used by ordinary people are naturally not as smooth as the bamboo slips in the house. Unexpectedly, Shaoshang likes it more and more, because she knows more than 95% of the words on it.

And, she has some numbers in her mind.

Such as copybooks, classics, genealogy, and even among scholars, officials, and scholars, most of them still use the former type of picture-like writing; however, the latter type of font that she is familiar with has become very popular when it is circulated among the people and even when small officials are doing business. And this type of font, even if it is separated by several time and space, it is estimated that people all over the country can automatically convert it without hindrance. However, she still has to study the former language seriously, after all, it is useful to read relevant literature.

Shao Shang sighed, picked up the pen and continued to draw on the bamboo slips, while Alimie looked at her with loving eyes, while the bamboo slips were roasting piece by piece by the stove. Common writing carriers in this era included cloth, silk, brocade, and even bronze ware, but the most common ones were wood and bamboo. Mrs. Xiao is diligent and thrifty in her family, and does not allow her children to be extravagant and wasteful. Therefore, all the wood chips and bamboo slips used by Shao Shang to practice calligraphy are written and washed, then dried and baked, and then threaded with hemp rope to continue using. In order to facilitate cleaning, the ink used for writing calligraphy is made of soot resin mixed with bran pulp, which is naturally not black, bright and fragrant, so Shao Shang added the piece of pine smoke ink that Cheng Yong gave her.

Mrs. Xiao is the kind of boss who only asks about performance and not working hours, so the excuse of 'do you know how hard she works' is a joke.

This schedule started early, and after swinging the sword a hundred times in the newly arranged front court of Mrs. Xiao, the two younger brothers who were still sleeping were dragged out of the warm bed, and said to go to find Sang's elder brother Sang Yu' to reminisce the old days. '. Cheng Cheng wiped his face with cold water as soon as he heard it, but Cheng Zhi was reluctant—he could see his brother-in-law all these years, so there was nothing to tell, not to mention that he wanted to paint his wife the most popular eyebrows in the capital today. After being glared by Cheng Shi, he realized that he had no choice but to follow the excited second brother in front of him.

Mother Cheng has not woken up from the hangover, but even if she wakes up, she will probably be drowsy for a whole day. Mrs. Xiao led Cheng Cha to arrange today's affairs for the servants - originally, being a housewife did not have to be hands-on, she did it to teach Cheng Cha.

Mrs. Sang made a few snacks in person, gathered her three children and the second child of Zhu Ou together, told stories to the children leisurely, and led them to play games and memorize nursery rhymes together.

On the other hand, Cheng Yong wanted to visit his master's classmate, but Cheng Song said that those Confucian scholars must not have been released to the emperor, so it is better to go to Uncle Wan to ask for some wine. , Cheng Shaogong just took out the tortoise shell divination money, before pinching his finger to calculate the position, a maid came to report 'Mrs. Xiao passed the three sons to the main hall of the queen'. The three brothers are all stupid.

Cheng Song sighed: "What did you two do wrong again?"

Cheng Song was furious: "I knew it earlier, no matter where I go today, it's better than staying at home!"

Cheng Shao Gong said to the entourage beside him: " Hurry up and invite the third aunt to come too." Yesterday, Zhengdan just passed, and Mrs. Xiao had to train people again. Obviously, it is not a trivial matter. It is safer to find the friendly third aunt.

The place where their brothers lived was the farthest from Mrs. Xiao's Jiuyu Hall, so they arrived last. They approached the hall from a distance, and through the wide porch, they saw Mrs. Xiao standing high in the center, sitting on the left and right beside him. Mrs. Sang, who arrived early, and the worried Mrs. Qingli, Cheng Cha lowered her head and knelt on the left with Mother Fu. What was more amazing was Shaoshang, who actually knelt down and sat down in the middle of her head by herself—could it be that today's Isn't the protagonist their brother?

Before entering the door, I just heard Mrs. Xiao angrily questioning Shao Shang: "...You did a good job! I thought you were just ignorant, but I didn't expect you to be narrow-minded and covet other people's things!"

Shaoshang is really confused: "Mum, why don't you tell me clearly, I have been studying characters since morning, and I haven't even opened the door, what can I do?"

Sang Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I don't know either. What happened. I wanted to invite you to taste the candy bait I made, but I didn't want to..." She cursed Cheng Shao Gong in her stomach, and the message didn't make it clear, causing her to be stunned for a while.

Mrs. Xiao questioned Shaoshang: "How can you rob your cousin's things?" Then she turned to Sang's and said, "You don't know, today, after I talked with Chacha about common affairs, she invited me to go to her place to rest, who is it? Zhizheng saw this wicked servants fighting and hurting people in the house, and they wanted to snatch a red sandalwood book case!"

Cheng Yong outside the door and the young merchants in the door were surprised together - book case? !

Just as she was talking, Madam Qing Li's maid had already brought five or six servants with bruised noses and bruised faces from the back hall to the hall. The one in front was the lotus room, and she saw that her makeup was also smeared, her hair was messy, and her clothes were torn. Broken, with snot and tears all over his face.

Shao Shang smiled and said, "I just asked you to carry back the bookcase given to me by my eldest brother this morning, and I also allocated some people to give it to you. How did you make it like this? Are you going to rob the money shop?"

Sang was very interested. Looking at her, Mrs. Xiao's anger can't be carried by many people, but this little girl is calm.

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was surprised: "Is that a bookcase given to you by Zisu?"

Before Shao Shang opened his mouth, Mother Fu, who was beside Cheng Cha, said: "Maybe the eldest son gave the fourth lady a bookcase, but That red sandalwood bookcase is not necessarily the case." Lianfang cried anxiously: "It's the bookcase, that's it!"

The mother Fu smiled and said, "Since it was given to the fourth lady by the eldest son, how did it come to our daughter? By the way." Cheng Cha, who was beside him, blushed anxiously, and said softly, "Mother Fu, don't say it." Lianfang said anxiously,

"It was Iris who told me to move there!"

The mother Fu stared and said: "Nonsense! Calamus just asked you to hit her on the head, but she fainted and hasn't woken up yet, so you put the crime on her head?"

Shao Shang saw that Lian Fang was also beaten badly, his left eye was red and swollen, his cheeks were high and swollen, and he couldn't speak easily, so he smiled and said, "This is not easy, let my cousin see if the book case is his own. , isn't it clear?"

The Fu's mother rolled her eyes and smiled: "Fourth Niangzi doesn't know. When we came out of Ge's house, we bought a lot of things there, many of which even our daughter-in-law didn't recognize."

Cheng outside the door Yong couldn't bear it any longer, and said loudly, "Then move it here and let me see if it's my book case, I still know it!" He strode into the hall.

The mother Fu was taken aback. She didn't expect the quarrel between the little sisters in the inner house. Mrs. Xiao actually called her three sons. But she didn't know that Mrs. Xiao used to be accustomed to scolding one son and arresting the other sons as an observer. If one person made the same mistake, the others were not allowed to make it again, and the results were very good. Mrs. Xiao had withdrawn her anger at this time, and waved her sons to sit down in order on the right side.

As soon as Cheng Yong sat down, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Mum, I did give a bookcase to the curling up. You have seen the red sandalwood carving with the head of a unicorn that Shangguan Master gave to his son. Why don't you bring the bookcase here? Look, you can see right and wrong."

Mrs. Xiao looked a little hesitant, and Mrs. Qing Li pondered for a while, then got up and went out quietly.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Mother Fu hurriedly smiled and said, "Who has a unicorn head? Ouch, the slaves really deserve to die. I was flustered just now and didn't look carefully. If there was a unicorn head carved, it would undoubtedly be the eldest son. But why did he come here? Where are we? Could it be..." She glanced at the lotus room, "Could it be that this cheap servant deliberately carried a book case to show off to my daughter-in-law?"

Cheng Yong thought to himself that this Fu mother was so cunning.

The lotus house cried and said, "No, no! It's the calamus who told me to move there! It's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's own opinion! The slave's heart is ostentatious, who knows how to be deceived!"

Cheng Yong said coldly: "Yes Showing off or cheating, just ask the maid named Changpu."

The Fu mother smiled apologetically, "Eldest son, Changpu has fainted and hasn't woken up yet..."

Cheng Song was already furious, and shouted: "A little bitch, you can't touch her! Splash her with water, burn her with fire, chop her two fingers off, and see if she is still dizzy!"

Madam Xiao slapped the table and scolded: "You What are you yelling for?" Although she scolded fiercely, she already knew in her heart that there was something inside, and glanced at Cheng Cha, who was sitting on the lower left side with anxiety, and she felt pity. Thinking that this honest child can't be wronged.

At this time, Mrs. Qingxuan came back, and behind her was a maid who was wet, and it was the calamus.

Although the name is Changpu, this maid has a dignified appearance, and her face is kind and stunned. On the contrary, the lotus house is beautiful and smart, but who knows that she is disguised as a pig and eaten by a tiger. The calamus knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly told it all. With Lianfang interjecting, everyone finally filled in the content-

it turned out that this morning, Lianfang directed four or five health maids to the front yard where the son lived to carry books and cases, and when they came back I met Acorus on the way, Lianfang Ai said, and Acorus asked, the former wanted to show off his daughter to be favored, the latter flattered and said, "My daughter also wants to write a new book case recently, I wonder if I can ask her to look at the style." , the lotus room was held in the air, so it fell into the shell.

After arriving at Cheng Cha's residence, the main lord was not seen, and the lotus room wanted to go back at that time. Unexpectedly, Acorus called a dozen maids to surround them, laughing and said, "It's better to leave the table first and wait for our daughter to look at it." I'll send it back to you', how could the lotus house agree to agree, so the two sides began to fight each other when they disagreed.

"So, it's not that the curls want to snatch the cuddly thing, but the cuddly that wants to snatch the curling thing?" Cheng Shaogong said coldly.

Mrs. Xiao immediately said: "What are you talking about!"

Cheng Chatai said tearfully: "It's all my fault, the reason is this, I really don't know. I apologize to my brothers and Shaoshang." Pray for the people.

Mrs. Xiao said: "You have been with me since this morning, what does it have to do with you?"

Cheng Song said angrily: "That curling has been studying calligraphy since this morning. He was held down by Cheng Yong and motioned to shut up with his eyes.

Mrs. Xiao sighed for a while, let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "The maids in both places are wrong, and they are all making their own decisions! Changpu, whether you want to do this book case or not, she has her own ideas, and wants you to make up your own mind?! Lian Fang, just move the table when you move the table, what are you doing roaming around! Now this disturbance is caused by you, so you should be punished properly!"

The mother Fu was very alert, and hurriedly came out and kowtowed: "Nv Jun It's all because we didn't discipline them strictly, so we should teach them well when we go back." She even teased Cheng Cha, and Cheng Cha quickly said, "Auntie forgive me, it's because I didn't take care of them..." Mrs. Xiao

comforted a few words. , Cheng Cha even cried and apologized. Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually harmonious, all unpleasantness could be wiped away; Mrs. Xiao went to see her daughter again, and saw Shao Shang kneeling in the center with his head bowed, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Madam Xiao was displeased and snorted coldly. The three brothers of the Cheng family hurriedly signaled to the younger sister, and told her to cry twice and say something about the scene - unfortunately, the person who bowed his head couldn't see the wink. Cheng Shaogong was in a hurry, and called out 'Shao Shang' in a low voice!

Shao Shang just woke up like a dream and looked up at everyone blankly. In fact, everyone didn't know that she was not in a daze just now, but was thinking about a serious question - should she

silently endure the poisonous arrow of fate's tyranny, or stand up against the boundless suffering of this world? Do you cry like Cheng Cha, begging for forgiveness because she is at fault, and wipe everything away to satisfy Mrs. Xiao, or do she never bow her head and seek justice for herself?

She chooses the third way. Fairness has wool, it's better to get some real ones!

The author has something to say:

Explain: Mrs. Xiao is the kind of person who is self-righteous. She is not concerned with blood, but education. Shaoshang was raised by the despicable Ge Shi, and Cheng Cha was raised by the noble Aunt Ge. Yes, so she naturally thinks that the former has a character problem and needs to be corrected, while the latter is trustworthy and amiable.

Of course, there are also reasons for Aunt Ge's previous friendship. .
