Chapter 7

Umalu shook his head: "This matter can't be counted in this way. I don't know if you have heard a sentence, it is called "a good fortune is lost, but a good fortune is not known."

Sister Wei Shuang shook her head, so Umalu told her the story.

Sister Wei Shuang thought for a while after listening, and asked her, "Ma Lu, you mean to say that good things are not necessarily good, and bad things are not necessarily bad, right?"

Umalu nodded.

Sister Wei Shuang continued, "So it's not necessarily a good thing for us to pick up the gold hairpin and hide it for ourselves. It's not necessarily a bad thing for us to exchange the gold hairpin for cakes."

"Yes." Umalu laughed, "Our twin sisters are really smart."

Sister Wei shook her head: "You are smarter than Malu."

The two talked while walking: "Sometimes I envy you very much. I envy Niuniu for being so open-minded and generous. I envy Yueyue who always sees things clearly and is not as stupid as me. I envy Malu, you know a lot. I envy you. It's like nothing works right."

She said sadly: "At home, I am also the one who is not smart."

She sighed softly: "If I can be smarter, I can help the family."

Umalu patted her forearm lightly, and comforted her: "Sister, think about it, there is no perfect person in this world. You always envy others, but I envy you for your good embroidery. Unlike me, my hands are very clumsy."

These words more or less comforted Sister Wei Shuang.

The two walked back slowly.

In the evening, the girls in the house sat together and chatted about their home and their visions for the future, and they also invited the next room to talk with the batch of beautiful girls who came in.

They just spoke in low voices so as not to incur punishment from the aunt in charge.

A few days passed without incident, and today I was making a call, and the aunt in charge was watching, talking to another aunt, and two maids came, holding trays in their hands, Cloth covered, knocked on the door.

The aunt in charge went out to negotiate with them, and then called Umalu out.

Umalu tied the net in his hand and went out.

The aunt in charge said: "Your Majesty Ma Jia knows that it is the golden hairpin you picked up, so I will reward you."

Umalu didn't want it at first, but when she saw the aunt in charge shaking her head at her, she saluted and took it, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, master."

The two court ladies smiled and saluted and left.

The aunt in charge waited for the two to leave, and looked at her with a smile.Said: "I thought you were determined to refuse."

Umalu said: "I was going to refuse, but seeing my aunt shaking her head at me, I accepted it."

Umalu gave the money to the aunt in charge: "I will borrow the money to offer flowers to the Buddha. If there is no aunt, I would not be where I am today."

The aunt in charge refused: "You child... take it by yourself."

Umalu took the money back.

She collected the money, and in the afternoon, after everyone dispersed, she gave a purse to the aunt in charge.

The aunt in charge opened the purse and saw that there was half of the silver in it, so she returned it.

Umalu was extremely firm, and said earnestly: "This is to thank my aunt. Without my aunt, Ma Jiagui would not have known that I picked up the hairpin."

She smiled: "Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness."

The aunt in charge stared at her for a long time, and finally retreated to her.

The aunt in charge always put on a smile on her cold face: "Good boy, it's good that you have such a heart."

The aunt in charge went back, and Umalu saw the court lady following her from a distance, she shook her head with a smile, and asked Wanliu Hanuniu to go to the dining room with her, and gave 50 taels of silver to her grandfather's forehead ginseng.

Frontal Ginseng is a fat man with a wide body and wrinkled face. Seeing Umalu, he laughed: "Why are you here?"

Umalu also smiled: "I got 50 taels of silver today, and I can't leave the palace on weekdays, so I want Mafa to bring it home."

Ecan refused: "There are places where money is spent everywhere in this palace. You Ama and I are still here, so where do you need your money? You should take it well."

While they were talking, Wanliu Hanuniu was waiting in the distance.

Umalu glanced at Wanliu Hanuniu and said: "When the nobleman rewarded me, everyone watched. Although the money is not much, what if they can't think about it for a while? It's better to take it home. If Mafa feels distressed Me, send me some pastries on weekdays, that's enough."

Eshen looked at her with satisfaction: "It would be great if you can think about it."

He persuaded her: "Don't blame you, Ama'eniang, we have nothing to do."

She smiled obediently: "I know."

Ercan took her money, and then brought her a bag of pastries from the dining room.

The forehead wanted to touch her head, but in the end he just patted her on the shoulder and said, "You have money in your hand, you have to keep it."

"it is good."

Eqian looked at the sky and found that it was not early, so he urged her to go back.

Umalu didn't refuse either, and left after saluting with a smile.

Wanliu Hanuniu asked her: "Why do you want to come to see your Mafa today? Is it because of the money you just got?"

Umalu stuffed the pastry in Wanliu Hanuniu's hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I know you're smart, so don't show it to me."

Umalu said: "Let's go back and divide up later."

"it is good."

Umalu walked towards his current residence with ease.

She went to see the grandfather of this body today, of course not only because of money.

It is more than a month since she came to this era.Logically speaking, she should go see the family members of this body.

At any rate, she must know what is going on with this body.

The family of this body is pretty good, except that they sell their daughters for glory, but they are also genuinely good to the original owner.

The original owner cannot be spared, and so are the thousands of women in this world.

And this is the tragedy of this era.

She lowered her eyes, evaluating calmly and objectively.

Like an outsider in this era, she watched everything silently.

Everything was so unreal to her.

They went back to the house, talked and laughed, and played around all day.

Umalu was right in her guess. The little girl in the same room naturally didn't have any opinion on her because of this matter, and in the other room, only one or two people would sometimes taunt her. Did not do any evil.

Often at this time, Uma Luquan pretended not to hear. Sometimes Wanliu Hanuniu would complain for her when she heard it, and would rush to scold the two girls several times.

After too many times, the two girls stopped talking.

Everyone passed this period without incident.

 In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus called their grandfather Mafa

  If you lose your horse, how can you know the misfortune and fortune: Original text:

  People near the fortress have good skills.Ma died for no reason and entered Hu.Everyone is concerned about it, and his father said: "Why is this not a blessing?" After living for several months, his horse returned to Hu Jun.Everyone congratulated him, and his father said: "Why can't this be a disaster?" The family has a good horse, and his son is good at riding, but he fell and broke his legs (pronounced bì, thigh, thigh).Everyone hangs him, and his father said: "Why is this not a blessing?" Therefore, father and son protect each other.Therefore, blessings can be turned into misfortunes, and misfortunes can be turned into blessings. They cannot be turned into extremes, and they are unfathomable. —— "Huainanzi Human Training"
