Chapter 20 Choice

Because Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Guida went out, Li was worried about the injury on Jiang's head, so he sat in the room for a while and went to the upper room, only saying that it was good for an adult to watch. Hongzhu was also a little worried when she thought about this, so she didn't call her.

There were a lot of things happening today, Hongzhu's body was already tired, but she couldn't sleep, so she found out the plaster and wiped it on the shoulder of the arm that she had just hit, and pushed the bruise away. While wiping it, he couldn't help but scold Zhu Zilan for a while.

Looking back and seeing that Li had not returned, Hongzhu took Cheng Wenhan's recent homework again.

Although Cheng Guitang has a roundabout temperament, but when Hongzhu was born, because he was only such a biological daughter in a few years, in the end, he was raised like a jewel, Xiao Hongzhu was less than three years old, and his talented father hugged her every day and recited some enlightenment poems, and taught to practice calligraphy when she was five or six years old...... Therefore, the original body is literate, and the red beads will not be "illiterate" when they pass through. If it is true, although the original body was small at that time, her knowledge was more advanced than Jiang's little ink.

Cheng Guitang died that year, Cheng Wenhan was only six years old, and he only skimmed the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text, etc., and suddenly encountered the death of his father, the serious illness of his mother, and the panic and sadness for several months, and the life was also chaotic. When Li's illness recovered, when he looked back, the books that this son had read in the past were all deserted, and he had forgotten all the books he had memorized in the past. Li Shi was immediately shocked, panicked and anxious, and cried in the middle of the ring, only saying that she couldn't live with her husband and delayed her son......

At that time, Hongzhu had just woken up, yes, there was still a student here. From that day on, Hongzhu found the books left by Cheng Guitang and grabbed Cheng Wenhan to read and write. When Li Shi saw this situation, he was stunned for a long time, remembering that his daughter was indeed literate, so he didn't notice anything strange, and he was relieved to see that Hongzhu was teaching well. When Cheng Wenhan picked up the little knowledge of the old enlightenment, his family sent him to the school.

Because of such a paragraph, Hongzhu is now half of Cheng Wenhan's master, he has been going to school during the day for more than a year, and after coming back, Hongzhu asked him what Mr. Jin'er taught, or let him repeat it, or let him explain the righteousness, or don't ask, just let him learn the words silently.

More than half a year ago, the gentleman in the school began to teach some problem-solving essays, Hongzhu, a boudoir girl who does not enter the school, listens to Cheng Wenhan's recitation every day, but she also understands a little. In fact, if she is asked to write, she probably can't write it, but if she is asked to comment on whether it is good or bad, she also has such an opinion or two.

Therefore, Cheng Wenhan, a child, has always admired the red beads, although he has learned far-reaching, but if he is not good at learning words, where is the silent writing wrong, or if he doesn't understand it at all, as soon as he touches the red beads, he immediately shows his face, and he can't help but be afraid.

As soon as he heard Hongzhu ask him about his homework, Cheng Wenhan obediently handed in the notebook.

This time, Hongzhu didn't see anything wrong, although a few words were off the edge and incoherent, but it was probably not bad, so he praised him once, making Cheng Wenhan laugh happily.

After reading the notebook, it was late at night, Hongzhu went to the upper room and asked, Li was sending hot water to Jiang, seeing this, Hongzhu knew that Jiang's injury was not serious. As soon as he turned around, Hongzhu also went to the kitchen to boil water.

was busy, Zhu Biyun walked in at the door, and hesitated for a while before walking to the stove. When Hongzhu saw it, she asked suspiciously, "Sister Biyun, what's wrong?"

“…… My eldest brother didn't need to eat before, but now he is hungry, so I will make some porridge for him. Zhu Biyun said softly, and didn't look at the red beads, so she went to open the rice jar.

"Oh. Hongzhu looked back at her twice, endured it, and didn't ask her about the Deng family, but said, "What did the doctor say, I haven't seen Brother Boxiu all day." ”

After waiting for a while, Zhu Biyun said, "The doctor has seen it." ”

Hongzhu nodded, but she never saw her say some details again, and she was surprised in her heart: "Sister Biyun?"

Zhu Biyun seemed to be frightened by her words, and quickly glanced at her, and then bit her lip and was speechless for a long time.

The red beads were inexplicably wonderful, and I couldn't help but feel annoyed, so I kept silent. After Hongzhu boiled the hot water, he was ready to carry it back to the room, but when he looked sideways, he saw Zhu Biyun hanging his head and crying in a daze.

Hongzhu made a move, and when she walked forward with the water, her heart was stuffy, but in fact, she was a little at a loss about this ancient marriage, Zhu Biyun was like this, what about her?

When Hongzhu and the others washed up and went to sleep, they didn't hear the sound of Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Guida coming back.

Hongzhu felt very sleepy, but she didn't know how to sleep unsteadily, as if she was always thinking about something. Li Shi saw that she was tossing and turning in the middle of the night, so he asked quietly.

Hongzhu was silent for a moment, and suddenly heard Cheng Wenhan in the other half of the room say a few dream words, which was exactly the article that Fang had just recited to her. She couldn't help laughing, but her heart was suddenly startled. After thinking about it again, I realized that she was different from Zhu Biyun after all! She knew poetry and books, could do arithmetic, understood people's hearts, and understood world affairs......

Hongzhu turned around abruptly and hugged Li's arm, and only said, "Mother, in the future, you have to ask me about my relatives first, can it be successful?"

Li didn't expect such a thing to come out of his daughter's mouth, and he was immediately surprised, "What are you talking about?" Thinking that his daughter walks outside every day, and she is a precocious and old man, she shouldn't listen to what she shouldn't say seriously, and she is angry in her heart. She paused and then asked, "You...... You can't be, don't you have any thoughts? That's not going to work!", he said this, and then reached out to grasp his daughter, thinking that he would have to control her in the future.

Hongzhu saw that her words scared her mother, and felt funny, so she said, "What's the matter?" Mother, don't think about it, I just thought about it, so I said that. ”

Li Shi was still a little suspicious when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "You are a girl, what do you want to do." ”

Hongzhu said: "I don't care, you promised me." ”

Li hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker ......"

"Mother, you also think I'm good, don't you? I'm not the little girl who doesn't know the world, can I still sell myself indiscriminately? Even my mother said that I can do it. Hongzhu was very helpless, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't agree, I'd rather not marry." ”

Li was angry and laughing, knowing in his heart that his daughter was different from others, and he was pestered by her to reluctantly respond in the end, and he was afraid that she would make trouble, so he emphasized: "After all, this matter cannot be chosen by yourself." ”

Hongzhu smiled lightly, this choice is not counted now, no matter what, she has to let herself have a place to speak. She calmed down a little, and then turned around and coaxed her mother. After talking for a while, Hongzhu fell asleep in a blur.

On the second day, Hongzhu got up late, and after washing, she couldn't help but look at the other side of the main room for a while, but she didn't see any movement, so she had to go to the stall first.

Zhong asked about Deng Jincheng again. Yesterday, Hongzhu told her when she went to Xinpu in the afternoon, which scared her a lot, and scolded Deng Jincheng.

At the moment, Hongzhu didn't know what the follow-up would be, so she only told the Zhu family's plan. Zhong listened and thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's the only way, the two families have grievances in their hearts, and they will only make trouble after they get married." He also said: "Your cousin has also left school today, I think that no matter the new shop at home is busy now, this stall is finished today, and tomorrow will not be placed." ”

Although Hongzhu heard her words a little pity, she was also sincere, so she responded, and said with a smile: "It's a shame that Mr. Xuetang called for annual leave, and let my cousin go home, so that my small job can also earn some annual leave." ”

Zhong scolded with a smile: "Oh, it can be seen that you took your cousin's light, and I want to thank him when I see him!"

The red beads are also refreshing, and they nod with a smile.

Because of something in the Zhu family, the Zhong family did not ask Hongzhu to go to the new shop after receiving the stall, but only let her go home quickly. Hongzhu also had some worries in her heart, so she went back as she said.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Li say worriedly: "The old lady is sick, and your aunt also said that she is dizzy." ”

Hongzhu's heart was churning, Mrs. Zhu was sick? Could it be that it was not good to ask for help from Zeng Ya yesterday? At this moment, Zhu Boxiu was sick, Jiang fell and injured his head, and even the old lady Zhu, who had always been tough, said that she was sick. Hongzhu asked in a low voice, "What, has the doctor seen it?"

Li Shi also replied softly: "The old lady prescribed a few medicines there, saying that she should meditate and recuperate." I think it was last night and I came back and blew a cold wind. After a pause, he said: "Your aunt vomited once, and then she took the medicine, and then she fell asleep." ”

Hongzhu nodded, and when she saw Zhu Zilan boiling medicine under the corridor, she asked her again, "What happened yesterday?"

Zhu Zilan's face was very ugly, and she glanced at Hongzhu with a little impatience, and only said, "You don't have to worry about this." She snorted, "I don't know what you're thinking, so ask about it." ”

Hongzhu knew that this meant that she was eavesdropping yesterday, so she deliberately stared at her, smiled and replied, "Who inquires." ”

Zhu Zilan choked, glanced at Li's Hongzhu, and said with a cold face: "Aren't you preparing a new shop, take care of your own business first." ”

Hongzhu couldn't ask anything, only that. Li asked her to greet Mrs. Zhu, although Hongzhu was a little reluctant in her heart, but in the end she still went to Mrs. Zhu's room to see her according to the rules.

Mrs. Zhu put a handkerchief on her head, put a quilt on the back of her waist and half sat and half lay on the bed, looking very tired and tired, and at a glance she looked smaller. Hongzhu was stunned for a while, and only came back to her senses for a while to ask about her condition, but Mrs. Zhu nodded and only said that it was okay, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Seeing this, Hongzhu thought about withdrawing, but Mrs. Zhu spoke again, and only said: "The family is in chaos, and I can't take care of anything at this time, you can help your mother more." ”

Hongzhu responded, and said dignifiedly: "Grandma, don't worry, take care of your illness." ”

Old Mrs. Zhu opened her eyes and looked at her, and said, "You are a sensible person, go talk to your sister Biyun and let her feel at ease." ”

Hongzhu was stunned and agreed, and only when she left the room did she wonder if Mrs. Zhu was praising her? I thought about it again, Mrs. Zhu is old and fine, I am afraid that I will see that Zhu Biyun is not quite right, for fear that she will do something stupid.

After seeing Mrs. Zhu, Jiang also went to see Hongzhu, but the person was asleep, so he didn't speak.
