23. Chapter 23
Tingfang went to Chen's house early in the morning to say goodbye, and found that there was an extra aunt. Oh no, I can only call it a girl now. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, the standard Yangzhou thin horse style, the name is also very skinny, called Xia Boguang. Ting Fang translated very unkindly: Scared! Strip bare! I complained about my father a hundred and eighty times in my heart, and then I couldn't bear the child's words: "Who sent the girl?" How do you work when you're skinny like this? Return it to Du's mother. â
Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be nosy, why don't you hurry up and eat and go to school." â
Tinglan went home late yesterday, and she didn't receive a report from Aunt Sun, so she also followed: "Now that the house is more and more unsatisfied to buy girls, just look at the face, can't you do the work to call the girl?" â
Ting Yao only glanced at it, and when she saw that Miss Xia was dressed differently from others, she knew in her heart, and hurriedly stopped her two younger sisters: "How can you be late today?" She was naturally unhappy in her heart, but now she is the most important filial piety, after all, she is her father's person, and she is too uneducated. When I turned around and "knew" my true identity, I had to pretend to accompany her, and she was lifted! The best way is to hang her when she doesn't save zĂ i, and after drinking a bowl of porridge, she said: "Mother, I will go to the old lady today, and I will go to school tomorrow." I'll have to come back to check on it at a leisurely time, and you're going to put it again. I'm annoyed with books and words. â
Chen's anger came and went quickly, and he was angry last night, and it was good to get up early to see his son. Now that he was being troubled by several daughters, he had already thrown his troubles to Java, and responded: "Yes, yes, the eldest girl taught me a lesson." â
After Ting Fang swallowed the bun, she also said, "Well, my mother is very well-behaved." â
Chen rolled his eyes, and a room full of girls and mothers-in-law laughed. After sending away a few small ones, Chen said to Aunt Sun: "You often say that the West Chamber is hot, and you haven't had time to move." Now that a newcomer is here, I originally thought that you would go to the East Chamber to be with Aunt Zhou. But I thought that Aunt Zhou was sick now, so it was not good to disturb her. By the way, you take Miss Xia and teach the rules in the church. I'm sick and I can't be refreshed. â
is a newcomer, and Chen's is not happy as the main house, not to mention Aunt Sun, who has fallen out of favor for many years. It's easy for Chen's to get sick and Aunt Zhou was beaten, she was looking for a free time, but she didn't know that Xia Boguang, who was a bright and spirited person, had already poured a stomach full of vinegar, but she didn't dare to attack. At first glance, she heard that she still had to make a room for the newcomer, but she was annoyed; I don't have to move it anymore, but she is sharing the west chamber with others, and Aunt Zhou is still monopolizing the east chamber alone, which is even more angry. It took a long time to stiffen before I reluctantly responded.
Mother Hu looked disdainful, and she couldn't support the things on the table! I don't want to think that you live opposite the door with Miss Xia, the old man is used to walking, and when Miss Xia is not happy, it is easiest to turn the corner and go to your house? Mrs. Hengzhi and have to be raised for half a year! The head is full of elm pimples, and the strange way is not likeable.
After talking about Aunt Sun, she said Miss Xia. Chan is another wall. Normally, it is said that sending things or giving people away, there are few singular children, this Xia girl is not a girl sent by others, but a head. The man gave a jade table lamp with a full moon. The hollow pattern is also covered with layers of tiles. The Ming tile grinding is extremely fine and thin, and I don't know what glue to glue it with one by one, and the candle is like a halo of water waves. There is a layer of white jade lampshade outside. It is absolutely impossible to use two layers of covers as lamps, but it is very beautiful to make ornaments at night. The best thing is that there is a small lattice for spices in the gap, which is actually an incense burner. Delicate things are easy to break, so the man thought of a trick, bought a handmaid and sent it together, and the lamp was not named, but the maid was named Boguang. From a man's point of view, it is elegant and boundless, from the perspective of a wife, people must be accepted, this lamp is not lit or not, and the person is remembered to death in his heart, but he can't have a seizure. There is no stupidity in officialdom. Son, he didn't send a concubine openly, but just sent a lamp to a person, does he still want to go back? The lamp is the same as the old saying Ding, Tian Ding Tian Ding, which is auspicious for the old man who is not rich. As for the person who sends the lamp, how to make it. It's just that the old man has been empty recently, so he even smiled with the lamp. Fortunately, Tingfang doesn't know the inside story, otherwise she would have to complain: Just like your weak scholar, there are so many women, can you do it?
Anyway, the man came in the door. Miss Xia kowtowed to Chen early in the morning, and Chen rewarded her with a pair of bracelets as usual. Miss Xia is nominally the one who delivers the lamp, so naturally she won't bring the bedding guy. It's just that he has no long things, and even his clothes have to be worn yesterday's. The giver of the gift is dressed delicately, and if you want to be delicate, it will not be warm. It's just a few layers of tulle, and the wind blows the beautiful tightness, which only hurts the cracks of people's frozen bones. Fortunately, I was training for a small time, and I didn't dare to tremble. Now that I'm better in the house, I think I'll have to move later, and I want to die. Chen is a soft-hearted person, if he is such a hard intestine, it is useless for Ting Fang to please him. is not only soft to Tingfang, but also difficult to be ruthless to others. It's pitiful to see Miss Xia come in naked alone, what's the use of complaining about her? Those who are bought and bought can't be their own masters, as long as there are no moths in the future, there is no need to do anything. Speaking of which, it's all a big master, isn't it! While instructing Hongmei to prepare all the daily necessities for her, she hated her husband to death in her heart!
Although men have three wives and four concubines, women have three from four virtues. However, at the beginning, her father was willing to give her to Ye Junwen, just to see that the Ye family was simple, and the old lady and the old lady had a deep relationship, saying that he was a long-term lover. The first was fine, but I gave birth to a girl at the door, but my husband's family didn't say anything. For more than two years, she really didn't have children before taking a concubine. For the sake of the heirs, she can't give birth, she can't complain about others, and her mother's family is not easy to speak. Unexpectedly, she became more and more unrepentant, and she was even more afraid that her parents would be worried, so she only reported good news and not bad news for many years. But who has been deceived? Is it considered death for a room to have children? Mrs. Chen beat the old man half to death. When it's over, you have to pretend that you don't know anything, just pick up the good things and send them to Beijing. The mother and daughter are dumb and eat coptis, and they can't say what they are suffering about. only choked Sister-in-law Chen's anger. Now I'm rolling up my sleeves on the road and preparing for a fat beating. Husband, if you see another concubine, maybe what will happen!
The house moved and couldn't work before Chen's, so he ordered a big girl Tao Ju to look at it, and she was crooked in bed. Close your eyes and recuperate. It was only a few days after it was empty, and her husband couldn't hold on. She wants to have three long and two short, and keep her front foot dead and the back foot of the bride is good. Since then, the two daughters and one son have fallen into the hands of others, and the marriage and funeral are decided by others, and if you marry such a husband, you really don't even dare to die. It is said that practicing calligraphy is the most abrasive, and she used to be tired of writing a page or two; But practicing calligraphy is also the most tiring, and the body is weak to the point where it is now, and I don't dare to move those anymore. It's even more annoying when I'm idle, and I can't help but say: "The four girls are not at home, and she is making a lot of noise at home." â
Hu's mother smiled: "I'll ask her to come back." â
"Delay her schoolwork." Chen shook his head, "The old lady attaches the most importance to her studies, although she doesn't say it, she loves her very much." I will marry in the future, and I will help the big girl, and I am also relieved. â
"Look at what Mrs. said," Hongmei said with a smile, "she also practiced calligraphy in the school in the second half of the night, and the wall on the kang in our house told her to nail all the holes, and it was the same at home." Just to accompany you to lunch. It's still early, it's not good to disturb her, I'm afraid she'll hang up again. Why don't I pick her up at noon, and you watch her practice calligraphy in the afternoon, which is better than writing by yourself in school. â
Chen said: "How dare I compare Mr. Kang." â
"Oh, who's better than him. Madam, you may not be as good as him, but you are better than him, right? I heard Mother Hu say that you were taught by the old lady to beat the child. It's just that you can't learn the old lady's skills, and you always have a vision. â
The bored Chan was persuaded by Hongmei. I couldn't sleep during the day, and I didn't dare to hold my son for fear of being sick, so I stared at the Western table clock on the table in a daze. It's easy to stay up until noon, Hongmei is going out, but Tingfang has jumped in. When I arrived in the hall, I shouted: "Do you have anything to eat, I'm hungry." Mom is better? Sleeping? â
Chen suddenly laughed and said angrily: "It's good that I didn't fall asleep, otherwise I would have been woken up by you." The girl's house is back so much! â
Just know you're not asleep! Jumping up and down to Chen's and began to speak: "Mother, you don't know the third brother the day before yesterday, hahahaha, he wrote 'Longli to the law of the state of the country' as 'the state has a way'; Makes Mr. Kang angry! A complaint came to the second uncle, the second uncle held back all day yesterday, came back from the yali early today, and beat him in the school. â
"Huh? Are you hurt? â
"Where, he dared to run!" Ting Fang admired it too much, "The second uncle is chasing after him, he is running in front, and he is stunned to block him with the second uncle's anger." He told him to run to the old lady's courtyard. â
Chen: "......"
"And whatever!"
Chen hurriedly asked, "What else?"
The third brother ran to the old lady's courtyard, thinking that the old lady was protecting him. Before he entered the door, he called the second aunt to block it. Asked Qian's mother to tie a rope and carry it to the school. Ting Fang emphasized, "It's really carrying, it's the same as carrying chickens in the kitchen." We couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. The second uncle had a look of revenge on his face, and he and the second aunt had a mixed doubles match. â
"Poof!" Mother Hu smiled at Tingfang, "What kind of adjective are you?" â
Ting Fang glanced at Hu's mother, and said in her heart, you haven't seen badminton, otherwise you can laugh more refreshingly, and continued: "The second aunt is so energetic, she only beats the third brother and cries wolf." The second uncle was distressed and weak, and the father and son begged together, 'Don't fight, don't fight, look at the injury'! â
"What a hit?"
Ting Fang laughed: "The second aunt said coldly: 'The rattan made by the special envoy, he is heart-rending when he keeps the pain, but he doesn't hurt his muscles and bones at all. He bumped into it today, and he happened to practice his hands.'" I don't know if the third brother is in pain, anyway, he shouted heartbreakingly, 'Mother! We were so frightened that we all laughed and fell down when we shouted at him. He's clamoring to break us off. I couldn't help laughing, and I was afraid that he would annoy me, so I ran back. Oops, don't stop me, I'll go out and laugh for five minutes. After saying that, he ran to the door and laughed.
Chen was stunned, listening to her laughing at the door, and somehow laughed out loud. Hu's mother laughed and scolded: "Don't let her come back at noon, the house will be opened as soon as she gets home." â
Joy is contagious, and Chan's laughter is more about the atmosphere than the thing itself. When Tingfang came back after laughing, she nodded her forehead: "You will be happy, and I won't send medicine to your third brother." He loved you the most in the past. â
Ting Fang waved his hand: "What kind of medicine to send, it won't hurt." I went back and gave him something to eat. Ouch, I'm laughing hungry, do you have anything to eat at home? â
Hu's mother was speechless and set the meal, Tingfang couldn't wait, jumped on the kang and feasted, and said while eating: "The fish is delicious, mother eat some?" â
Chen saw that she was eating sweetly, and he was also greedy. asked someone to make a bowl of fish soup before drinking it cleanly, and heard Tingfang say, "This, this, and this are all delicious!" Mother taste. Have we changed our cooks? Why do I think it's better than ever? â
"Can this be eaten too?" Hongmei was impressed, "I just changed it, yesterday's banquet was made by the new chef." Tete bought a couple, the man's Guan Hong case, and the woman's Guan Bai case. The kitchen is only in a lawsuit. The girl's tongue is good. â
Ting Fang hurriedly asked: "Then our mother Gao didn't suffer, right?" "Gao's mother is also Chen's wife, and she made good soup and transferred it to the kitchen, and she is not in the east courtyard every day, but often comes to ask for peace, and the children in the family are cooked. The kitchen is an important place, and letting Chen's people take root in the kitchen first is also to avoid the inconvenience of her in the future. The old lady is still very good to her daughter-in-law. Putting aside the unreliable husband of the eldest man, the Ye family is indeed a good home. Both are good. temperament, the most common contradictions are absent. The wife of the big house and the second room is about to become best friends. It can be seen that it is really perfect, ah, no, the worst thing is the times. Otherwise, her father would have strangled to death.
After Ting Fang finished eating, she wiped her mouth, stared at Chen's and drank most of the bowl of fish soup, and ate all the dishes she had just recommended, feeling relieved. No one needs to urge her, she takes the paper and hangs it on the wall herself. Chen was full of laughter and fell asleep in a daze. Ting Fang was also sleepy after writing. Looking around, I found that Hu's mother was asleep on the couch, weekday. She slept on the kang with a lot of gifts she received yesterday, and she hadn't packed them yet, thinking that Chen was bored and watching. So he happily kicked off his shoes, drilled into Chen's quilt, and fell asleep.
