After being reminded by the old lady, Zhou Sisi not only thought of playing cards, but also thought of mahjong. This is a national quintessence that has been passed down since the Ming Dynasty! It just so happens that this dynasty doesn't have it, so she can make it appear!
However, carving mahjong would take some time. Her uncle and third uncle were not at home, and her father was busy attending cram school, so it would take some time to finish it.
Playing cards also need to spread the Arabic numerals. This needs to be discussed with grandma and the others after they come. After all, the anti-counterfeiting trademark of grandma and her workshop is still in use.
However, although these two things cannot be made for the time being, she can draw the patterns first and find an opportunity to make a set for them to play among themselves. Moreover, the two games they played today can also be made.
So, she told Old Madam Song about her idea. Old Madam Song didn't expect that it was Sisi who came up with it, so she praised her, "Sisi, Sisi, tell me what's wrong with your little head. How can you come up with so many good ideas? Girls from other families have to learn to be frugal, but you can just raise your hand and money will pour into the house! Oh, let alone your parents, I can't bear to see you get married!"
Zhou Sisi frowned. "This even relates to marriage?" She quickly changed the subject, "Grandma, I actually have another idea. I want to make a set of dominoes. But it's going to take some time, and I'll need someone who can carve. Once I find someone and make them, I'll invite you to play with them. I guarantee you'll like it."
"This one is easy to find. There's one right in front of you. Tingye has loved carving since he was a child. He's been carving many seals for the mansion. When you give him the things, he'll definitely carve them for you."
Song Tingye also came over and nodded to Zhou Sisi, "Just give me the pattern and size, I'll take care of the rest myself."
When Zhou Sisi heard this, she thought, "That's great! We don't have to wait for my uncle and third uncle to come." So she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you when I finish it."
Then she paused for a moment and said to Old Madam Song, "Grandma, I want to go out tomorrow and sell the two games I have now. I can also earn some extra income."
Madam Song nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. Don't forget to say hello to your aunt and ask her to arrange a car for you."
Then, she looked at the maids in the room. Only Yunxiang and Zhou Sisi were about the same age, so she pointed at Yunxiang and said, "You don't have a maid by your side. You might be laughed at if you go out. I'll give Yunxiang to you. From now on, you can take her with you wherever you go. That way, we can rest assured!"
When Zhou Sisi was in Qingshangou, she had Xiao Hehua and Qing'er by her side, so she didn't feel any different. But here, Qing'er and her mother were busy, Xiao Hehua was gone, and Nanny Yu had to take care of the twins, so there was really no one around to accompany her. The old lady pointing Yunxiang to her was undoubtedly a timely help, and she quickly thanked her grandmother.
Song Tingye interrupted, "If you're not in a hurry, I can go with you tomorrow after I finish my shift."
Zhou Sisi, "No, no, no, no need. Qiancheng Shuzhai and I have been working together for many years. I can just take Yunxiang with me. You can go and do your own things. Don't worry about me."
So, there was the scene at the beginning.
Zhou Sisi successfully signed the contract with Qiancheng Bookstore, and the master and servant left Qiancheng Bookstore.
Zhou Sisi, thinking it was her first time out of the capital, couldn't help but want to explore more. So she asked the carriage to wait near the study while she and Yunxiang strolled through the streets.
The streets are lined with all kinds of stalls, selling all kinds of things, including food, toys, and hair ornaments. It's a dazzling array of things.
Zhou Sisi looked around curiously, occasionally picking up a small object to play with. Yunxiang followed closely behind her, her eyes not being able to see enough. After all, as a little maid, she rarely had the opportunity to go out shopping like this.
As they strolled down the street, they stumbled upon a circus troupe. One artist was wielding several throwing knives through the air, each one piercing the target with unerring precision. Nearby, a fire-breathing artist, the flames whirring and roaring, yet harmless, managed to stun the target. Zhou Sisi, entranced, couldn't help but applaud.
After watching the circus, the two of them visited several cloth shops. Zhou Sisi picked out several nice-looking pieces of cloth and planned to ask Uncle He to find someone to help take them back to Qingshan County for her grandmother, grandmother Xiao Hehua and the others.
Over the years, Zhou Sisi has never stopped writing. In addition, she has also invested in her parents' mountain, so she has saved a lot of money. Although she has not counted it carefully, the silver notes she has on her body alone amount to more than 5,000 taels.
Her mother had borrowed money from her the first year, and later, when they bought the farm, she'd asked her for a refund, but she'd quickly repaid it. Since then, she'd never used any of it. Instead, she'd given her money every year, after all, her father still got a share of the money from the processing plant. So, Zhou Sisi was now completely frugal with her spending.
The two of them left at 9:00 PM, and after finishing their business, they began to stroll around, even having lunch outside. Unconsciously, they had been strolling for three or four hours. As it was getting dark, the master and servant remembered that the coachman was still waiting, so they hurried back.
On the way back, Zhou Si saw a stall selling candied haws. Thinking of bringing some back for his brothers and Ang'er, he stopped and bought several strings.
At this moment, a child in front saw her buying so many candied haws and started crying for some too. The sister who brought him out couldn't resist and bought him a bunch too.
The child took a big bite of the candied haws, but perhaps because he ate too hastily, he choked. His face flushed red, he dropped the candied haws, clutched his neck with both hands, and his breathing became rapid.
The child's sister turned pale with fear and patted the child's back helplessly, but it was of no use. The old servant who came out with her also helped to pat the child, but the child still did not feel better and his face turned purple.
Seeing this, Zhou Sisi hurried forward. She remembered the Heimlich maneuver she had seen in modern times and knew that one must not panic in such a situation. She said to her sister, "Let me try!"
The child's sister was also panicked at this time, but seeing that it was a young boy, she did not refuse and immediately gave up her place.
Zhou Sisi first hugged the child's abdomen, making his upper body lean forward. She clenched one hand into a fist with the knuckle pointing two fingers above the child's navel. She covered her fist with the other hand and struck the child's upper back with rapid force.
The old servant who followed out saw this and hurried forward to stop him, "What are you doing? Let my young master go!"
Zhou Sisi ignored him and continued to repeat the same action.
After a few tries, the child finally spit out the hawthorn fruit stuck in his throat and cried out "Wow". The child's sister finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Zhou Sisi.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my little brother. I am the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue. You saved my little brother, Qi Xuan. I don't know which family you are from. I will ask my parents to bring my little brother to thank you in person someday."
Zhou Sisi smiled and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."
Afterwards, she took Yunxiang and the candied haws she had bought and continued walking towards the carriage. Unexpectedly, she ran into Song Tingye again before she had gone far. "Brother Tingye, what a coincidence! How did you get here?"
