Chapter 18: The Sprout (2)
Liu Yuwen came in, first respectfully saluted Mrs. Liu's second wife, and then met Liu Ruoxi, and called her the third sister according to Liu Ruoxi's request. Liu Yuwen also wore new clothes today, which was made of the ruler given by Mrs. Liu Er that day, the workmanship is quite exquisite, and the size is still suitable. It's just that looking at Liu Yuwen's face, there is still a dish on his face, and he is still thin and explicit.
Mrs. Liu instructed Mama Chang's family to take more care of Liu Yuwen. The robe on Liu Yuwen's body is still Mama Chang's needlework. It is said that the Ma family didn't want to use this ruler to make clothes for Liu Yuwen, but it was Mama Chang who told her and cut and sewed it herself, so that Liu Yuwen could be regarded as having such a decent dress.
Although there are dishes on the surface, Liu Yuwen is obviously more energetic.
Mrs. Liu asked Liu Yuwen to sit down, and Liu Ruoxi ordered someone to bring a few delicate snacks up, and then sat on the side and listened to Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu talk to Liu Yuwen.
Liu Yuwen sat on a straight pen, slightly restrained. Although his family is poor, since he entered the house, the jewels and splendid silk in this room do not squint. Liu Ruoxi saw that his eyes were straight, and his answers were suitable, and her good impression of him was a little more.
“…… It turned out to be a seedling of reading, I asked him a few questions, and although the answers were a little immature/tender, at his age, it was extremely rare......" said the second master Liu. "What's even more rare is that although he retired from the private school and had a lot of family affairs every day, this child actually read two more books by himself, and his previous schoolwork was often reviewed, which is really rare."
It turned out that Liu Yuwen was born smart, and he had followed his father since he was a child, and he had already read a few books in his stomach. After two years of studying in a private school, I was much better at learning than children of the same age. Moreover, after not being able to go to a private school to study, in such a difficult environment, Liu Yuwen still insisted on self-study. Second Master Liu asked him a few words, and asked him about the situation in the past two years, and he was very surprised. 、
Not only does he have a talent for reading, but he also has a strong ambition to read. Second Master Liu likes such a person, so he sent Liu Yubo away, but kept him.
Second Master Liu is planning to help Liu Yuwen.
"At such a young age, it is rare to be able to endure such hardships." Mrs. Liu also admired.
“…… It is also the last wish of the mother. When my mother passed away, she told me that no matter how difficult it was, I must continue to study. My grandfather has not been in place for many years, and it is difficult to close his eyes when he is dying. It's a pity that my grandfather only has one daughter, my mother, and I can't repay his wishes for him. Liu Yuwen said, although he is young, he speaks in an orderly manner, and he is like a little adult.
Just speaking of this, Xu is thinking of his deceased relatives and the pain of not going to school, Liu Yuwen finally couldn't help it and shed tears.
No matter how strong and precocious he is, he is still a ten-year-old child after all. He cried here because he felt that Second Master Liu, Second Mrs. Liu, and Liu Ruoxi really cared about him. According to the rich daughter-in-law, no matter how the child was tortured at home, he never had a single tear.
A child who has been neglected and neglected for a long time and has been abused/treated suddenly is liked, appreciated, and tenderly cared for, and his heart is naturally close to these people who are good to him.
When Mrs. Liu saw Liu Yuwen crying, her heart had already softened. He grabbed Liu Yuwen, took out a handkerchief, and personally wiped Liu Yuwen's tears, while coaxing him like a child. Liu Ruoxi watched from the side, very relieved on the one hand, but a little sour on the other. When she realized her complicated mentality, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"Father, mother, it's not early, Brother Liuwen will have dinner with us." Liu Ruoxi said.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu naturally nodded, they also had this meaning.
"What Brother Wen likes to eat, I told them to make it." Liu Ruoxi asked Liu Yuwen with a smile again.
Liu Yuwen was a little shy at this time, his face was flushed, and for a while, his speech was not as neat as just now. However, he also knew that he got up and excused himself, saying that he had come to disturb for a long time, and it was already very disrespectful, and he could not stay to eat any more. Besides, there are many things going on at home.
"Leave you to eat, and you will stay." Mrs. Liu said, "You don't have to worry about it at home, I'll send someone to say that your brother and sister-in-law won't be difficult for you." ”
Liu Yuwen still seemed to be a little embarrassed, but the second master Liu also spoke up, so he nodded, but after all, he refused to say what he liked to eat.
Liu Ruoxi still ordered to go down and let the kitchen add two sweet and crispy dishes that children love to eat.
"I just asked this kid if he still wants to study. He said that of course he wanted to, but his family was difficult, and he couldn't do without him. The second master Liu said again, "I said that I have it, this kid is embarrassed to agree, saying that we will give money and things, and find an errand for his brother, the great favor is already difficult to repay, and the matter of studying is an accident......
Liu Ruoxi and Second Mrs. Liu listened and understood. Liu Yuwen didn't dare to think about going to school again, firstly, his brother and sister-in-law refused to pay, and secondly, in the past few years, he has been regarded as a small servant by his brother and sister-in-law at home.
In addition, don't look at Liu Yuwen's young age, but he knows the kindness of remembering people, and he is afraid that he will not be able to repay it.
To have such thoughts and to know gratitude is a person with a good heart.
This little child, it seems that his father and mother taught him very well, even if he is in a difficult situation, he is not crooked, even if there is no later verification, it can be seen that Liu Yuwen is a child with a pure nature.
"I want to send you to study," Second Master Liu said to Liu Yuwen, "You don't have to remember my kindness." I'm not for you, but I can't stand it when I see a good seedling like you delayed in vain. As for your side, you don't have to worry, everything is up to me and your aunt. ”
When Liu Yuwen saw that Second Master Liu said this, he also wanted to study in his heart, so he immediately knelt down.
"Second uncle, nephew...... Nephew ......" his voice was a little choked.
Second Master Liu got up and helped Liu Yuwen up.
"I said, I don't need you to repay me. If you insist on repaying, just study hard, and be a virtuous person on the gold list, you will repay me. Second Master Liu told Liu Yuwen.
"Yes, my nephew remembers." Liu Yuwen looked at the second master Liu for a while, and replied solemnly.
"Dad, since you want to send Brother Wen to study, there is no further delay. Dad has figured out which private school to send Brother Wen to? Liu Ruoxi asked with a smile.
"Just those few families, I still have to think about this." Second Master Liu smiled and asked Liu Yuwen again, "Does Wen'er have a favorite in her heart?" ”
"But it's up to the second uncle to arrange." Liu Yuwen said, although he is young, he understands the truth, of course he will not be picky at this time, and he also believes that what Liu Er Master chose for him is naturally the best.
"Hmm." Second Master Liu nodded.
"Brother Wen, you don't need to mention it to your brother and sister-in-law when you go back later. When you go to study, let my father send someone to call your brother and sister-in-law and tell them. Liu Ruoxi instructed Liu Yuwen to say.
"Exactly." Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu both nodded.
After a while, the meal was served, and the second master Liu brought Liu Yuwen to the table, and had dinner with the second wife Liu and Liu Ruoxi. Liu Yuwen was still a little restrained at the dinner table, but Liu Ruoxi carefully observed his demeanor and obviously had a good family education.
After eating, Second Master Liu sent someone to send Liu Yuwen home, and ordered Liu Yubo to come up and speak.
"This kid doesn't look young, he doesn't talk much, but he has an idea." Second Master Liu drank tea after dinner, and said to Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, "Therefore, I only briefly mentioned this study in front of his brother, left him, and asked him accurately." …… He is a seedling of reading and has ambitions. Although it was delayed for two years, it was not difficult to make up for it. ”
found a good seedling who reads, and he is also a descendant of the Liu family, and the second master Liu is very happy.
"It's also a decent scholar's family, why did you marry such a daughter-in-law." Second Mrs. Liu said, "Master, you have never seen it, you are really worse than the shrews in the streets and alleys." ”
"It's said that it's difficult, and he doesn't let Brother Wen read the book, and he also says that the family is about to run out of cooking, I see that he has a lot of gold hairpins and silver hairpins." Liu Ruoxi told Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu her observations, "Mother, you also heard it today, she is so greedy and insufficient, and the eldest / master can't control her." In the future, I know that we are good to Brother Wen, and I am afraid that she will have other ideas. ”
"This, I thought of it too." Mrs. Liu said, "It's just to give her a few more taels of silver." ”
"This is also what Meng Fuzi said, the heavens will descend on the Si people......" Liu Er said.
Mrs. Liu Er is used to being rich and never takes silver money to heart, and Liu Er has no concept of silver money. Liu Ruoxi knew that when they got better and better to Liu Yuwen, Ma understood the weight of Liu Yuwen in their hearts, and Ma's greed would become bigger and bigger.
What kind of result will Ma's greed cause? Liu Ruoxi thought in her heart that as long as Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were willing, then she would have the confidence to let things develop according to her plan.
For them, for Liu Yuwen, that will be a good thing.
"Mother, Brother Wen has to prepare a lot of things to study. I don't think his brother and sister-in-law will prepare it for him. Liu Ruoxi said to Mrs. Liu again.
Anyway, first slowly cultivate the relationship between Second Master Liu, Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuwen.
"I'm thinking about this too, and without them, we'll all be ready." Second Mrs. Liu was a little excited, and discussed with Second Master Liu and Liu Ruoxi what to prepare.
Someone was sent over there to call Liu Yubo, but before Liu Yubo arrived, Liu Yujiang had already heard the news and rushed over.
