Sixty-ninth
Shi Fei'er's rebuke made Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang shut up. Mrs. Wang dared to cry again at this time, covering her mouth and shaking her shoulders and sobbing silently. Jia Zheng was taken aback, his finger was still pointing at Mrs. Wang and did not take it back, staring at Jia's mother with wide eyes, opening his mouth but not making a sound, and after a long while, he asked in a trembling voice: "Old man, old lady, you just said ......?"
"What do you say? Say that you are selfish! Say that your daughter-in-law is so stupid! Say that you two are a perfect match! I can't make up this pair of you for thousands of years!" Jia Zheng's words were directly snatched by Shi Fei'er, "You question where I said something wrong?"
Jia Zheng was rarely scolded by Jia's mother, the last time he was scolded by Jia's mother was because of the dream of changing his father, and he was reprimanded by his mother for being unfilial that day, but today he was scolded like this for the first time in his life. Jia Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Jia's mother blankly, and didn't reply.
Shi Fei'er slapped the table and said to Mrs. Wang: "Let's talk about you Jia Wang's family first! I really don't wronged you at all when I say that you are stupid! You will be convinced by just a few nonsense words from a leper monk? You are also a young lady from a big family, and you should have some knowledge! I didn't expect you to be stupid like this! This is the eldest sister's life, great fortune, great creation, if there is a good or bad, not to say that you are not right to get up with her, whether you are worthy of the ancestors of the Jia family, you can ask yourself if you can be worthy of your pregnancy in October? This is one of the things that a monk does not say some scriptures and Zen words, but only says things that make you rich and noble! This monk climbed out of the golden tower of the Qianyan Temple? On weekdays, you also prayed for blessings in the house and copied a lot of scriptures, and today you can tell me to listen, which scripture says that the monks, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas are in charge of the wealth and nobility of the world? Enlightened people should have no other things in their hearts, regard money as dung, and glory and wealth as a passing cloud. I don't know what kind of Zen this leper monk has cultivated, and what kind of way he has come from? You don't know what is right and wrong, and you are partial to listening and believing or being light! Third, I don't understand that this child has been sleeping in your belly for ten months, and if she is born an hour earlier, she can be born with a different person? Whether she will be able to soar in the future is a matter of uncertainty, even if God favors this fortune, I don't know how many waves there will be in the middle, and all these blessings will be gone if you are born an hour earlier? What a joke! With your knowledge, you don't understand the deep meaning, so forget it. Besides, if that monk really revealed his heavenly opportunity to you, how could he change it because of a dose of medicine? Think about yourself whether you are stupid or not? Use your own brain to think about it!"
Shi Fei'er said a lot of words in one go, her mouth was dry, she drank the bowl of tea at hand in one go, and shouted to pour tea outside the door, and the egret who was waiting at the door immediately took a cup of tea and sent it in.
Shi Fei'er cleared her throat and looked at Jia Zhengdao: "Do you think I'm right?"
Jia Zheng didn't dare to say anything else at this time, and nodded hurriedly: "Mother taught me a lesson." โ
"Since the lesson is learned, I'll talk about you again. Shi Fei'er continued: "I say that you are selfish, and I am not afraid that you will not be convinced. Let me ask you, do you know about this?"
Jia Zheng glanced at Mrs. Wang, he naturally knew about this, and when Mrs. Wang came back that day, she said happily when she saw him. At first, I didn't think about it, but when I heard that the glory of the Jia family in the future would also rely on this woman, I was inevitably moved. He has been an official for several years, and now he still returns the silver owed by Jia Pardon, and is a batch of saints and Zhu Pen, which has only been promoted from the sixth grade to the fifth grade. But if you want to be promoted in the future, it is not easy. If there are people in the palace, that's a different matter. If he can be a member of the dynasty in the future, he will not lose to Jia Yu, who has taken the knighthood.
"What did you know before I asked you!Did you know about this before?" Shi Fei'er asked Jia Zheng after thinking about it, and asked again.
"My son knows. Jia Zheng replied stubbornly.
"You're a well-read, unlike any other woman. This Wang family's goddaughter likes to be virtuous if she is talentless, so she is just shallow in her knowledge. But since I told you, why didn't you stop it?"
"This, this, this...... My son only knows this part of the monk's words, and she takes secret medicine, but I don't know. Jia Zheng argued.
"You're good at shirking it. Shi Fei'er sneered and said, "I'm afraid that what you only thought about at that time was the glory of the lintel in the future." Isn't it selfish for you to voluntarily believe such a ridiculous thing and not want to think about it carefully? If you have selfishness, you are willing to think in the direction you yearn for, and it is natural to be deceived. โ
Jia Zheng was broken by Jia's mother's words, and his face became embarrassed. But that's really not a good answer. I had to listen with a red face.
Shi Fei'er saw that Jia Zheng was silent and said: "Don't say that the monk is full of nonsense, even if it is true, will others know about these words on the street." You have also read some history books, which of those visionary things is not from the royal family? Your eldest sister called her a life to accompany the king before she was born, hmph, where is this point of her wealth, and you don't want her life to go? This is not counted, I am afraid that some people will not see our Rongguo Mansion is good, so they want to take advantage of the beginning. โ
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was shocked, he had never thought about this. This is indeed true, the birth of the emperor recorded in the history books is often accompanied by visions, but if ordinary people have visions, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be remembered by the royal family, and it is inevitable that disasters will not occur in the future. Thinking of this, his face turned even whiter.
Shi Fei'er sneered: "What I said is false? When I was young, I saw that you were smart, and you were serious about reading." On the contrary, the older I get, the more I go back, it's not as good as when I was a child. Taking history as a mirror, this is just to be heard? It is also a mistake this time, if you really say it, you should wait for the future. โ
Jia Zheng was already embarrassed at this time. Shi Fei'er said sharply: "The last thing, Jia Zheng, do you remember the family rules of the Jia family?"
Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I dare not forget the admonition of my ancestors! Loyalty, filial piety and humility, and don't be greedy, always keep in mind these eight characters." โ
"Don't you dare to forget, I'm afraid you'll leave behind when you see wealth. Don't be greedy? Our family motto in Jiafu has a way of selling women for glory? What you eat now is only earned by the hard work of your ancestors. didn't think about how to work hard to forge ahead, but listened to a few nonsense words, and then moved his mind. Not to mention whether this eldest sister will have such an opportunity in the future, I will also leave my words behind today, as long as my wife and son are in this Rongguo Mansion for a day, there will be no such thing as selling her daughter for glory! If you want to seek wealth and nobility, go to emulate your ancestors, and fight for the glory that you have exchanged, I will never say more than half a word. But now I see that you can't be an official, you can't study, and as a father, you don't think about how to plan for your children, but you calculate your children, even if your daughter brings you this wealth, you can enjoy the peace of mind!"
After these words, Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he knelt on the ground. Mrs. Wang also knelt down and hid her face.
"I speak these words to you today, and consider for yourselves. Zheng'er, you have also been an official for a long time, and you don't take the family motto to heart. I went to the ancestral hall every night for the past three days and told this ancestor how you took this family to heart. โ
Shi Fei'er turned her face to Mrs. Wang and said: "Originally, you were still in the puerperium here, but because I heard you recuperate for many days, and your body did not improve, so I asked your personal maid to ask the reason, and I only knew about it." Although it is not a big mistake for you to have a love for vanity, as a mother, you don't think about how you can be a mother for your children! You have copied so many scriptures on weekdays and you have not even understood it? You are recuperating, and you don't care about other things. When your body is well, continue to copy the scriptures and pray for blessings! This time, use more heart, when to realize, when to stop. โ
Mrs. Wang said miserably: "Old lady, old lady, daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong. โ
Shi Fei'er was willing to look at her again, tilted her head sideways and said, "Isn't it one thing you did wrong in the past." Just because I don't mention it doesn't mean I don't know. In the past, it was just to watch Zhu'er and the unborn child in your womb not punish or punish slightly, but now you can do such a thing without caring about the lives of your own children for a few crooked words from a monk who does not know the roots, and it is light enough for me to deal with it like this. What else do you want? If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family and the Jia family had been friends for several lifetimes, and this pearl Yuanchun was still young, would I still be able to spare you? You can think it yourself clearly! You don't have to see any outsiders from today onwards. Don't bother your mother's family if it's okay!" Shi Fei'er gave Mrs. Wang a grounding order with a few understatements.
"Egret!
Listening to Mother Jia's call to herself, the big girl Egret Butterfly standing outside the door hurriedly responded and entered the house. "Butterfly, you go back and call the mothers-in-law who are in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in my yard, and from today they will be in charge of the living of this lady Wang. Accompany the second wife to copy the scriptures every day. As for the people in the original house, I'll wait until I've seen it. The two wives should eat and drink as usual every day, and they should not neglect it. Although the butterfly was suspicious, she didn't dare to ask, but she just answered and left in a hurry.
Shi Fei'er glanced at the egret and said, "You call someone to invite the uncle." He said that I was waiting for him. โ
Bai Lu listened and hurriedly arranged for someone to find Jia Yu, and Shi Fei'er saw that everything was arranged, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Pour tea." โ
Jia Yu got the letter quickly, because he heard the person who sent the letter say that Jia's mother was angry, and he didn't dare to delay. Seeing Jia's mother and seeing Jia Zheng kneeling beside him and Mrs. Wang kneeling on the couch, Jia Yu was a little confused. Looking at the anger on Jia's mother's face, she was calculating, I don't know how this second room annoyed Jia's mother, so don't involve yourself this time.
"I don't know why the old lady called me here?" Jia Yu reluctantly opened his mouth.
Shi Fei'er opened his mouth and said, "Your brother is going to the ancestral hall to recite the family motto to the ancestors in the past three days. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, your brother is at fault, and you, the elder brother, also have negligence, and you go with you. โ
When Jia Yu heard this, he secretly said in his heart: Old lady, I didn't cause trouble. I've been busy with the affairs of the house for a while, how can I manage the affairs of the second room without โกโก skills. It's obvious that they made a mistake, and they will be punished, so why should I go to the ancestral hall to kneel, but I don't dare to say it when I think about it in my heart.
Shi Fei'er glanced at Jia Yu and said, "You go to supervise and teach every night, for two hours at a time." The eldest brother is like a father, and now the two rooms have not been separated, so naturally the brother's mistakes are under your control. If he does it again the next time, you will be punished as well. โ
Hearing this, Jia Yu was a little more relaxed, and when he looked at Jia Zheng again, his face was red and white. Jia Yu was even more curious about what mistake the second room made to make Jia's mother angry like this.
After the arrangements were made, Shi Fei'er clapped her hands and said: "I'm really tired today, Bailu, you pass the word for me, and I won't see anyone who comes to visit tomorrow." โ
After tossing and turning for a long time on this day, he was already too tired to do anything, and Shi Fei'er was counting on a good rest at night. But Jia Zhu also got the letter, and hurriedly ran to kneel and plead for his parents. Shi Fei'er was not embarrassed for a child, so she comforted her with kind words and told Jia Zhu about it. Jia Zhu is a reasonable person, and after hearing it, he no longer pleaded for his parents, but felt ashamed, and said that in order to fulfill his filial piety, he would go to the ancestral hall to accompany his father. Shi Fei'er's persuasion was ineffective, so she had to go.
It was almost three watches when she finally lay down, Shi Fei'er fell into a dream in a daze, and felt that it didn't take long to wake up, but when she opened her eyes, she saw someone standing in the room, which really frightened Shi Fei'er.
