The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 20: Marry a virtuous wife, marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations

Yang Biao walked quickly into Liu's house. When he reached the front yard, he heard the voices of several young women. He was surprised that the voices were clearly those of young girls, and they should not have reached the age of marriage yet. Which girls were they, and why did they come to the front yard?

So he slowed down his pace and said, "Cousin, please bring the bamboo pole over here for me to use. I want the biggest lotus pod over there."

"You have so little strength and the lotus pod is so far away, how can you possibly get it down?"

"I want to try it, come on, give it to me." A girl said coquettishly. Yang Biao looked around and saw a girl wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt with a front opening. She looked about the same age as Yang Meihua, but her skin was much whiter than hers and she was taller. She was wearing a flowered silk dress and her temperament and dress gave people the impression that she was a child from a wealthy family.

"Hey, come over here." Yang Biao didn't want to be seen staring at a girl, which would be impolite, so he decided to just copy the book honestly. When he was about to step into the room, he heard a girl's voice calling him.

He paused, but still felt it unlikely that someone was calling him, so he continued walking into the house.

"Hey, I'm calling you, don't go, come and help me." Seeing that he didn't stop, the girl got anxious and spoke again. Yang Biao stopped, turned his head in confusion, looked around, pointed at himself, and asked hesitantly, "Are you calling me?"

"Is there anyone else here? Come here and help me pick the lotus pod." The girl squatted by the pond holding a long bamboo pole, looking up at him.

"Oh." Yang Biao walked over. "Which one do you want to pick?"

"That one." The girl pointed to him with her left hand.

"Step back a little," Yang Biao took the bamboo pole from her hand, and after she took a few steps back, he swept it towards the lotus pod with great force.

"Hey, you..." Before she could finish her words, she saw a lotus pod flying towards her and the girl swallowed the rest of what she was about to say.

"You are so smart." the girl praised.

"How can you be smart? It's obviously because of my strength. If I were strong, I could also sweep the lotus pod over." Another girl in sky blue clothes thought that her companions were being too surprised.

"Thank you for today." The woman in pink rolled her eyes at her and turned to salute Yang Biao.

"You're welcome, both of you. I'll take my leave first." Yang Biao also bowed to her.

The two girls quickly responded, "Is he the one that uncle hired to copy?"

"Yes, my father said that although he is young, his handwriting is very good." said the one in sky blue.

The two girls watched Yang Biao leave and said, "I'm curious, how good is his handwriting? Even his uncle praised it."

"How about we go and take a look?"

The two of them looked around quickly, and there was no one else except the personal maid. Now was the time to do something bad. Just as they were about to go into the room where Yang Biao was staying to see what he had written, "Miss, the Madam is here, and the uncle asked you to go to the front hall." The voice of the personal maid Rong Zhuang came from behind.

"Oh." Both of them were upset that their prank could not be carried out.

"Miss, please wash and dress yourself first." Rong Zhuang was anxious. Xia Weiwei and Liu Ran's clothes were a little wet, and there was some plant juice on them.

"No need, just go like this." Xia Weiwei didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Miss, you should change your clothes." Rong Zhuang was about to cry. If the young lady really went to see the lady like this, her buttocks would be beaten to pieces with a stick.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes, okay?" Xia Weiwei saw her burst into laughter, "That's right, don't cry all the time, you'll become ugly."

"Oh, Miss..." Rong Zhuang shouted in a long voice.

"Where is Huiyin?" Rong Zhuang didn't have time to answer. "Miss, Miss..." Huiyin hurried over with two sets of clothes on a large tray in her hands.

Huiyin was a child born in the Liu family. Her original name was Xiangcao. When she was six years old, she was chosen by Madam Liu to be Liu Xuanran's personal maid. Liu Xuanran thought that Xiangcao was not nice and too vulgar, so he wanted to change her name. At that time, little Xiangcao said, "Why is my name too vulgar? My parents gave it to me and have called me by it for many years. I will call myself this." Little Xiangcao's mother was frightened by what she said and knelt down on the spot and kowtowed, "Madam, please spare me. I didn't teach Xiangcao well, and let this dog thing talk back to the young lady."

When Liu Ran saw that her forehead was bleeding from the impact, he grabbed his mother's sleeve in fear.

"Alright, alright, if there are no rules, we can teach her to learn them. She just needs more time to learn." Mrs. Liu didn't want her daughter to see these bloody scenes, so she pulled Liu Ran away quickly.

Nanny Song, who had been serving Madam Liu since she was a child, said coldly, "Get up, stop knocking, you've frightened the young lady."

“Yes… yes…” Vanilla’s forehead was still bleeding. She quickly climbed up, leaving a pool of blood on the ground. “Clean up this place, Vanilla, come with me.”

"Xiangcan, it is your blessing that the lady likes you. You must serve the lady wholeheartedly and never be rude to her again." Lady Xiangcan warned loudly.

Xiangcao was pulled away by Nanny Song. She turned around to look at her mother, her eyes red.

Liu Xunran looked at her slender waist and thought of a line from Zhang Heng's "Si Xuan Fu", "Shuo Jing's slender waist, Yang Chao's miscellaneous embroidery. From now on, you will be called Huiyin."

"Why don't you hurry up and thank the young lady for the name." Nanny Song scolded. Seeing that she didn't move, she thought that maybe her parents saw that she was still young and had not yet learned the rules of the Liu Mansion, so they pinched Xiangcao's arm and taught her, "Thank you, young lady, for the name. From now on, I will be called Huiyin."

Xiangcao felt pain and had to repeat, "Thank you, Miss, for the name. From now on, I will be called Huiyin."

Madam Liu nodded and asked Nanny Song to be more careful and watch the servants in the mansion and make them behave themselves. After Huiyin learned the rules, she could come to serve Liu Ran. Nanny Song quickly agreed.

Huiyin studied the rules for more than half a year before she passed Madam Liu's assessment and was given the job of serving Liu Xunran closely.

"Why did you take so long to come?" Liu held Xia Weiwei's hand and asked with concern. "Why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Then she touched her daughter's forehead.

Xia Weiwei dodged the hand that Liu extended to her. "I'm not sick, it's just too hot. How long will mother need to stay in Wenchang County?"

"It will only take a few days. After you finish checking the accounts of these shops in Wenchang County, you can go back to the city with mother."

"Aunt, let Weiwei stay here for a few more days." Liu Ran shook Liu's arm and said coquettishly. She got along very well with Xia Weiwei and felt that it was much more pleasant to get along with her than with the concubines' sisters.

"Yes, elder sister, it's rare for you to come back to Wenchang County, so just stay a few more days. Xiangjia Town has changed a lot." Mr. Liu also advised, saying that feelings are developed through time, and when cousins ​​get married and have feelings for each other, they will naturally help each other.

"I would like to stay a few more days. There are a lot of things going on in the city. It seems that there are many more houses built in Xiangjia Town. It is much more lively than when I was a girl."

"That's right. The neighbors who lived here before are all busy expanding their homes," Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "and everyone is adding children. Our children will soon be able to meet each other."

"Yes, we have no choice but to accept the fact that we are getting old." Mrs. Liu was filled with emotion.

Mrs. Liu waved her hands hurriedly. This was not her real intention. She just wanted to express that the children had grown up, were about to start their own families, and that the family was becoming more and more prosperous.

"Sister, Wanfu didn't mean that. Don't think too much." Mr. Liu glared at his wife angrily. If you can't speak, don't speak.

"Wanfu is right. Don't just think about making money all day. Marry a virtuous wife. Marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. You have to pay attention to the marriages of your children." Liu warned her brother earnestly that her mother had hemorrhage and died when she gave birth to her younger brother. If Yang Biao was there, he would know that it was amniotic fluid embolism. Amniotic fluid embolism is called the death god of obstetrics in modern times with advanced technology. After that, her father remarried, and the new stepmother became pregnant not long after entering the house, and she was not interested in disciplining him, so this younger brother was raised by her alone. The relationship between the two siblings is much deeper than that of ordinary siblings.
