Chapter 12 Small Shoes
The morning wind was relatively gentle.
Jiang Mianmian opened her mouth and then closed it again.
Seeing the little girl being so polite, she felt a little embarrassed. She
felt that her and her elder sister's prank was a bit too much.
But she wouldn't say it.
She stood on her elder sister's side.
Jiang Yu also lowered her head.
However, Jiang Wan only drank a sip, praised, and put down the bowl.
She opened the bundle and showed Jiang Yu the things she brought.
Jiang Mianmian was also curious about what was inside.
She shouted "Ya Ya Ya" to show that she wanted to see.
Jiang Yu didn't know what her sister was going to do, and when she saw her shouting, she picked her up.
The bundle was opened, and inside was a set of clothes and a pair of embroidered shoes.
It's not new. Jiang Mianmian saw that the color of the clothes had faded. It must have been washed several times. The toes of the shoes were a little worn out.
But Jiang Yu's eyes were shining and she was very excited.
Jiang Mianmian could feel that her sister's hands were getting stronger when she was holding her.
If Jiang Yu hadn't been holding her sister, she would have been unable to resist touching it.
Although it was old, the clothes still had colors, patterns, and belts. They were very delicate, and the fabric was smooth, unlike the coarse cloth she was wearing.
The embroidered shoes were even more beautiful.
The colors were bright.
The butterfly on it was lifelike, and the two elytra were decorated with small beads.
The small beads sparkled in the sun.
Jiang Wan knew Jiang Yu would like it by looking at her expression.
Her fair and tender hands were also reluctant to let go of the shoes. These were custom-made for her by her mother, and together with the silver pin on her head, they were all made by Baolai Pavilion. Unfortunately, the shoes were too small and she couldn't wear them.
She also liked this skirt, but the skirt was a little short.
She couldn't wear it either.
"I heard Aunt Yao say that she wants you to go to the city, you must not go, it's dangerous there, believe me. Sister Yu, I'm doing this for your own good, don't you remember, when I was a kid, I climbed a tree and accidentally fell down, and you were the one who cushioned me from below, otherwise I would have fallen to death, I won't hurt you." Jiang Wan's words were very sincere.
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but have a good impression of her after hearing this.
This little girl seemed different from the old lady and the maid yesterday, at least she could clearly distinguish between good and evil.
As a result, she heard her elder sister say: "I didn't mean to give you a back cushion. I just got unlucky."
Jiang Mianmian: ...Sister, you can actually say less sometimes.
Jiang Wan said seriously: "Anyway, Sister Yu, you are my savior. Remember, don't go to the capital."
Jiang Yu was a little impatient: "I know, my mother will definitely not let me go. You used to call me the second sister, and now you call me Sister Yu. You are always smart. Don't be so hypocritical. The cat cries over the rat. Come back quickly. If you get hurt, our family really can't afford it."
Jiang Wan was scolded, but she didn't get angry. She just said: "I can't stay long. My mother will be angry if she knows I came to see you. Anyway, I'm doing this for your own good. I'll leave first."
"Who wants you to come? Go away."
Jiang Yu waved her hand to drive her away.
Seeing Jiang Wan go out, she closed the door with a "click", which was a bit ferocious.
After closing the door, Jiang Yu was still a little worried and looked out through the crack of the door.
Jiang Mianmian also leaned her head to look through the crack of the door.
Seeing someone greet Jiang Wan not far away, Jiang Yu sneered heavily: "It turns out that the eldest lady is going out."
Jiang Yu put her sister down.
Then she went to look through the package.
After searching carefully, she found no hidden money.
In fact, what the family needs most now is money, to buy food.
She thought Jiang Wan would leave money for her out of kindness.
Jiang Yu sat in front of the gorgeous clothes and shoes for a while, but did not dare to touch the clothes. The fabric was slippery and she was worried that it would be scratched by her rough hands.
She picked up the shoes. They
were really beautiful.
Especially in the sun.
After all, she was a little girl, and it was her nature to love beauty and coquettishness.
She held the shoes, but she was still mumbling: "You gave me your worn-out clothes and shoes, and you want me to be grateful. If my father could pass the imperial examination, I could also wear these. I heard from the scholar in the village that my father has a great talent for studying. Bad intentions, fake kindness!"
But she couldn't help but untie the shoes.
She took off the straw sandals on her feet and wanted to try them on.
Before she put them on, she felt that she would look very beautiful in them.
Jiang Mianmian saw her elder sister blushing as she squeezed her big feet into the small embroidered shoes. The shoes were swollen, and her elder sister stood up carefully and walked unsteadily.
The butterfly on the small shoe was also swaying, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.
Although it was painful to wear, Jiang Yu was still a little excited. She walked up to Jiang Mianmian and asked, "Do they look good?"
Jiang Mianmian: "Aiya, aiya, aiya, aiya." (Don't wear them, sister, I will buy you bigger shoes in the future. These don't fit.)
"Hahaha, do you want to wear them too? You are so small that you can't even walk. Wait, wait until you grow up, sister will make money and buy you good shoes."
Jiang Yu was reluctant to take off the embroidered shoes.
She put them on and carefully turned around in the yard for several times.
When she walked until her forehead was sweaty, she was worried that her feet would get sweaty and dirty her shoes, so she sat down and took off her shoes carefully.
As a result, her heels bled after a while, and the blood stained the embroidered shoes, making the color even more vivid
