Chapter 4 Restoration

Due to Chen's dystocia, the people in Yefu turned on their backs, and everyone went back to the room and fell asleep. Only Ting Yao slept directly in Chen's house, getting up from time to time to look at her mother and younger brother. After doing this a few times, he went sleepy. I simply got up and sat against the wall. Father rested at Aunt Zhou's place tonight, was he used to walking, or because his mother gave birth to a younger brother, he went to comfort him? Tian Ding imported a happy event and said that he wanted to comfort people, which was unreasonable at all, but Ting Yao couldn't help but think so. Close your eyes, hold back your tears, don't be a woman in life, and the bitterness and happiness of a hundred years will be left by others. With your belly full of poetry and books, and your small intentions, you can't afford to be able to have a son. Ting Yao thought again: How good it would be if she were a boy. She is a boy, so Aunt Zhou doesn't have to enter the door. Without Aunt Zhou, there is no need to raise Aunt Sun, let alone Aunt Wei later. Her parents can be as loving as the second uncle and aunt. Love, even having an aunt is also a decoration. The second aunt's life is so good! In five years, she gave birth to four children, three boys and one girl, but the daughter on the contrary is more delicate. But her mother also has a son now, and she is finally ...... Hold one's head high. Thinking of this, Ting Yao's face couldn't help but show a smile. In the dark night, he looked in the direction of his brother and slowly fell asleep.

If there is anyone who can't sleep tonight, it's Aunt Zhou. After sending the old man to sleep, she opened her eyes and looked at the top of the tent. Unexpectedly, he asked his wife to give birth to a son! In the past, when the filial piety of her mother's family was carried to the wife's room, she still smiled secretly - it was so strict, it will not be her son's in the future! As long as the old lady dies, the Ye family is up to her. What happened to the concubine? Concubines can give birth! I don't know that the wife is still a brother. Thinking of the silver of the white flowers, the corners of my heart are dripping blood! Say less than a thousand taels a year! Ten thousand handfuls of silver for more than ten years, and you can still hear a sound when you throw it in the water! It's good now, and it's as cheap as possible for others. The silver is still second, and with the right children and grandchildren, don't think about the house. I thought that I could overlord such a decent house, but now I am afraid that I will send it out for just a few thousand taels of silver. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but curse secretly: a premature little frozen cat! Let's see if you can raise it or not!

Ting Fang Heitian slept until dawn, stretched her waist, opened the tent and shouted to the girl: "Narcissus, Lily, I'm up." ”

Narcissus walked in from outside and said with a smile: "But wake up, the sun is getting high!" ”

Ting Fang smiled: "I'm tired." What about the mother? ”

"Wouldn't the girl go to the room and take a look? Last night the eldest girl rested in the wife's room, and I listened to the movement, but I was afraid that I would wake up. ”

Ting Fang jumped out of bed and cleaned up neatly, put on a big red gold cloak at random, and walked to Chen's house with the curtain up. Contrary to what was initially thought, the masters did not have a courtyard for each person. Not to mention that it is royal treatment, even if there is such a large yard, does the child's upbringing belong to the wet nurse? Naturally, you have to watch it as a mother. Therefore, Tingfang's brothers and sisters all live in the east courtyard. The innermost is the main room of the Chen family, and the east and west compartments are given to the two aunts. There are two houses in the east and west of a small courtyard outside, and each house is a structure of one hall and two rooms, which happens to live four sisters. Then a wall outside, opened a door, because it is two doors, it is not locked every day, only the mother-in-law guards. It's still a small courtyard, with two houses in the east and west, the garden tree lives on the east side, and the west side is now empty. The place where Yuan Tingshu lived was the master's outer study, and after the children were too many to live in, they built a cross-courtyard. Now the innermost part of the courtyard is also an empty small courtyard. In the middle, there was a school for the brothers and sisters to go to school, a wall was built, and a hanging flower door was built, and then there was the old man's outer study.

The area of the entire east courtyard is not small, but each master has an irregular retinue, and it does not seem empty. Ting Fang walked along the verandah to Chen's house, and the little girl opened the curtain and said with a smile: "The fourth girl is here?" The eldest girl asked the girls just now. ”

Ting Fang smiled and nodded, raised her feet and entered the door, seeing that Ting Yao had already freshened up and was ready to set the meal. Seeing her coming, he smiled and said, "You won't miss a meal again!" ”

"The people take food as the sky, and I don't dare not receive the teachings of the saints." Ting Fang smiled and stretched out her head to ask Chen, "Is my mother better?" I look better than I did yesterday. My brother slept so soundly last night that I didn't even hear me crying. ”

Chen said weakly: "As long as you enter the house, there will be no quiet." I don't know how there are so many words in the town day. ”

"If I don't speak, you're cold again. I'm trying my best to make people talk, and I want to tell what a prosperous family looks like. You don't want to thank me! ”

Ting Yao nodded Ting Fang's forehead vigorously: "You are less excited!" Don't let the girl call the second sister and the fourth sister! ”

Ting Fang was tilted by the point, picked up a purse and smashed it on Ting Yao, ran away with a smoke, and the voice came from outside: "What kind of girl, I will personally invite Fang is sister and sister Gong!" ”

The girls in the room laughed, and Chen couldn't help laughing, and said, "I don't know which mother-in-law will suffer her in the future!" ”

Chen's companion Hu's mother said: "Four girls are good, who doesn't like to see a smile." The town was sad and unhappy when he looked at it. "I'm talking about the six girls in the third room. The Ye family has strict rules, and no girl has ever been greatly wronged, and she is biased towards Ai Ai. It's hard to understand the master, turn a corner, "So my wife is still good at upbringing, and I love the fourth girl the most." It means that the aunts don't know how to teach their children.

Ting Yao smiled: "If you don't love me, can't you?" ”

Mother Hu deliberately said: "I don't love you!" You find the fourth girl to be jealous. ”

Ting Fang entered the door just as he heard the last sentence, and hurriedly said: "I have vinegar!" Just crabs, borrow crabs from a saucer! ”

Laugh.

Chen pointed at Ting Fang and said, "You can go out after eating, I can't laugh yet!" ”

"Hey, I'm not going out. I promise not to tell jokes, but to do my homework. The mother's room is brighter than my room, and the writing is comfortable. ”

Ting Lan sneered, Ting Wu pouted, if you don't pat yourself for a day, you will die!

If Ting Fang knew their hearts, she would definitely answer seriously: they would die. In the mixed workplace, patting sycophants is a basic skill, and it is better not to eat for a day than not to pat a horse for a day. But the two petty little Lori won't understand the bitterness of working girls. Covering their faces, those who have worked for several years have greatly broken their temperament.

After finishing the meal for a while, Ting Fang really stayed in the upper room to write homework and stop talking. The Ye family has extremely strict cultural requirements, and the old lady and the eldest master and the second master are both two-list jinshi, which can be described as a scholarly heirloom. Therefore, not only the brothers, but even the sisters have to learn eight shares, but they are not as demanding as the brothers. There were once distant relatives who persuaded: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, she just knows a few words, what can she learn?" Saying it doesn't make people laugh out of their big teeth. The old lady sneered: "Cai? Hugh said that he was only learning, and he did not know how to write. is a man who can write a sentence or two, and can't pass the show talent, and he doesn't dare to say that he is talented, they only learn some skins, if they dare to claim to be talented, see if I don't kill that shameless thing! Since the girl marries her husband and teaches her children, if my Ye daughter doesn't understand anything, she wants to teach her children to be blind? "If you don't teach things outside the idea, you can't talk to your husband when you look back, and his daughter will be raised for nothing! Is it a loss!?

For this reason, Tingfang admires his grandfather very much, and he is worthy of being a university scholar, and his vision is different. The mother's su zhì determines the future of the nation, otherwise how can "little women raise" be curses? It can be seen that the requirements of the housewife are different. What's more, a woman is confined to the house all day long, and if she doesn't even understand cultural classes, what can she communicate with her husband? Men in the family don't like to listen. Moreover, in ancient times, it was an era of pit women, if she could give birth in the future, it would be fine, if she couldn't give birth to a son, she would be like the Chen family for more than ten years, and she couldn't raise her head in front of her mother-in-law. But with culture, it's different, she can't teach it. The national conditions of our country, from ancient times to the present, have taken a look at Xuebagao, in order to have a better life in the future, Tingfang studied very seriously.

Except for Ting Fang, the rest of the sisters are more mixed. Tinglan was free and slipped to Aunt Sun's house, and the two of them did needlework together. Although Ting Lan often secretly scolded Ting Fang for slapping her ass, why didn't she care? It's the little brother's socks in his hand. Aunt Sun pointed out: "The child has delicate skin. Tender, no embroidery. If you have a long block, you can't wear it for a few days, and you have embroidery skills, so it's better to do a few more. The seventh girl is smaller, and she has money in her hands, so she can beat you in terms of material. You just have to be better than the four girls. ”

Ting Lan sneered: "She's just a fool, she reads and writes when she sees Tian'er, and she's not a brother." As he spoke, he remembered something again, "Auntie, you don't know." Before, we pooled together to give up medicine, and everyone had money, but she didn't. I had to use hairpin rings to pay off debts. You said that on her father's birthday, what will she wear? It's going to be a joke. ”

Aunt Sun glanced at her daughter: "You don't understand!" Can the family still disgrace her? I need to re-buy it for her! She spared dozens of taels to subsidize the Wei family in vain, and she got money and sold it. You can learn a little, you have to be half as shrewd as her, and I can rest assured when I die. ”

Ting Lan pouted and said, "She's shrewd? She was shrewd and didn't help the Wei family. I don't understand the truth of helping the emergency but not the poor. Then Wei Qiang is a sick seedling bottomless pit, what if her private room is filled in? Every day, I just pay tribute to a few gadgets carved from rotten wood, which is worth a few silver. ”

"A few dollars to buy a good reputation, Hengzhu's family is not short of hers, you worry about her."

Tinglan hehe: "Good reputation? Iron Rooster has a good reputation. She doesn't miss a copper plate in her hand for her subordinates, and her aunt doesn't know how they arrange it, right? ”

Aunt Sun looked sympathetic: "What's the use of holding my wife, the little things that come and go with people are not supported by my mother." Can Mrs. pour out her heart and lungs for her? They have daughters. After speaking, he turned the conversation again, "I didn't say you!" Walking around with the big girl every day, what do you scare her? Now that the old lady is gaining power, she must have a good future. Your father's sister and her brother-in-law, who move around a lot, will she not help you in the future? The four girls took the lead. ”

Ting Lan said impatiently: "Got it! "In the end, I don't accept it in my heart, it's all Miss Ye's family, it's true that the young and the young are orderly, and it's too bad to ask her to please her like a minion. She's not Ye. Tingfang! What a shame, phew!
