Chapter 7: Incomprehension
Chen Banniang saw a lot of people.
In all fairness, it's not that she hasn't seen a lot of people, and the Lantern Festival is crowded every year, compared to that, there are really not many people in front of her at this time.
In front of the house of the lady of the Cheng family, on this side of the Jade Belt Bridge, the original open space was full of people, old and young, big and small, men on this side, women with power fences on the other side, a few cases, paper on the knees, and some obviously poor children only holding branches and writing on the ground.
The hustle and bustle formed a strange but awe-inspiring scene.
And a woman sitting in the middle didn't seem to see this face, and several cases in front of her were neatly written with paper and ink, and she was writing with a pen at this time.
Chen Danniang squeezed to her side in the end, relying on a woman and a child, sitting next to her, putting paper and pen in a decent manner.
"Lady, lady, I didn't see this word clearly, you write it again." She shouted suddenly.
Cheng Jianniang responded well, and sure enough, she picked up the pen and wrote, and the paper that was written was put aside, and a girl took it and looked at the crowd.
At this moment, Chen Banniang could also feel the burning gaze in the crowd.
"Me." A man raised his hand high, his voice trembling a little, "It's my turn today." ”
Banqin walked over and handed him the paper in his hand.
In the envy of everyone, the man held it excitedly.
However, everyone just glanced at it and hurriedly turned away, and their eyes still fell on Cheng Niangzi, lest they miss her strokes.
"Eighteen Niang."
Someone called from behind.
Chen Bainiang was startled, hurriedly turned her head, and saw that it was a few familiar little ladies.
"Eighteen mothers. You also came to read Cheng Niangzi's book? ”
One laughed. While shaking the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone box in his hand.
Chen Banniang hasn't spoken yet. Another lady laughed.
"How can Mrs. Chen take care of it, she still has to give the book of the king." "You can't be like those of us who can't write." ”
Chen Banniang's hand hanging under her sleeve clenched up.
"Hurry up, Mrs. Cheng only writes for half an hour every day, don't catch up." The other pulled her and said.
The two ladies deliberately bumped into Chen Bainiang on the left and right, and went in with a little pride.
The girls hurriedly supported Chen Ba Niang, with indignation.
"Lady, shall we go over?" One asked with a moment's hesitation.
Past?
What did you do in the past?
Words are used to convey feelings, not to enjoy fun. Folk girls can't write words for fun, let alone teach people to write well.
She said that she couldn't teach people to write well, so what did she do in the past? Ask her?
Chen Banniang stood in place, looking at this side.
Sure enough, as the two of them said, half an hour later, Cheng Jianniang got up and walked away, while the girls gave the words written today to the people present, and then packed up a few cases and left.
Chen Danniang naturally followed.
The courtyard door of the Cheng family was closed, and some people in front of the door left in a hurry, and some people continued to describe the ground. Someone is playing, someone is washing pens by the river. The streets are back to traffic.
"This is the great hidden in the city, and the vulgar is elegant."
"Regardless of background or background, as long as you want to, you can come to learn, such feelings should be a great Confucian."
"At the beginning, Mr. Jiangzhou preached the scriptures under the trees in the wilderness of Wangzhou, attracting hundreds of people to listen, for the sake of voice preaching, and now this Jiangzhou lady is sitting in front of the door to write, so that everyone can watch closely, is for silent preaching."
"So there are two Mr. Jiangzhou now?"
Mr. Jiangzhou...
There are few people who can be called their hometown, and even Chen Shao is only called Xianggong, and he can't afford a Chen Quzhou.
Chen Banniang took a deep breath and walked towards Cheng Jianniang's door.
"Sister, I'm not going to leave yet."
Seeing Chen Baniang come in, Chen Danniang said hurriedly.
Chen Baniang watched her tie up her arm rope, looking a little puzzled as if she was going to be busy.
"I'm going to make snacks with my lady." Chen Danniang was a little proud.
Making snacks?
Cheng Jianniang also came from the room, changed her clothes, and tied up her arm ropes, and then saw that there were already three girls waiting respectfully under the corridor.
What does this do?
"It's okay to be idle, and it's fun to cook." Cheng Jianniang said.
Play? This lady also has fun? She thought she was a joyless, ignorant and unconscious wooden person.
Chen Banniang smiled reluctantly.
"Can you borrow a step from the lady to talk?" She said.
Cheng Jianniang glanced at her and nodded.
"Chen Su can't figure out one thing."
Standing in the hall, Chen Banniang said straight to the point.
"Something related to me, please." Cheng Jianniang said.
"It's not that you don't tell people that you can write well, so what are you doing now?" Chen Banniang took a deep breath and raised her head and asked.
"I'm like this now." Cheng Jianniang said, "I just write every day, it's not an unsightly thing, since others want to see it, then watch it."
"Cheng Jianniang." Chen Bainiang took a step forward, bit her lower lip, her voice trembled a little, "I thought you were a frank person, but I didn't want to be a different person, are you a bad word?" A bad word will be called the second line of books in the world? Will bad words be praised by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager? ”
"That's what they think, not what I think." Cheng Jianniang said, "I don't think my writing is good, I can only be honest with myself, as for others, I can't control it, and I can't influence it." ”
Chen Banniang sneered and laughed, as if she had heard such a funny joke.
"You can't control and can't control others?" She said, stretching out her finger and pointing at herself, tears glistening in her eyes, "Then do you know that because of your words, I, Chen Su, have become a joke in the capital?" ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at her.
"I don't know." She said.
Chen Bainiang laughed again, and the tears of laughter came out.
"You don't know? Of course you don't know, because you simply don't care. She said.
"I don't care." Cheng Jianniang said, "There are too many people in the world, Chen Su." I can't care. I can only take care of myself. We can only care about ourselves, don't care about others, Chen Su, don't care about me, don't care about yourself. ”
"Of course you don't care about other people, you have your rules for everything you do, you have rules, you have for yourself. There is no favor, you only have rules, and favor is nothing in your eyes! Chen Banniang said, turned around and opened the door and left.
The maids and maidservants in the yard, including Chen Danniang, were already frightened by the raised voices in the house.
"Sister." Chen Danniang shouted.
Chen Banniang did not stop and walked straight away.
Chen Danniang was angry and anxious, so she had to go out.
Listening to the carriage in front of the door, Ban Qin hurriedly looked into the hall, and Cheng Jianniang walked out as usual.
"Lady, are you alright?" Banqin asked uneasily.
Cheng Jianniang shook her head.
"I'm fine." She said.
As for others......
Banqin didn't care either, and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
…………………………………………….
Footsteps rang out outside the door, accompanied by a banging on the door.
"Eighteen Niang, you open the door." Mrs. Chen's voice came in with anxiety.
"She quarreled with Mrs. Cheng! She had trouble with Cheng Niangzi! She's so rude! Chen Danniang's shrill voice also came.
Chen Banniang simply covered her ears with her hands and faced the wall.
A moment passed. The voice outside the door was quiet, and the people seemed to leave. Chen Banniang put down her hand and hugged her knees in a daze.
"Eighteen Niang." A voice shouted outside the door.
Chen Bainiang was startled and heard her grandfather's voice.
"I'm just here to ask if you're okay or okay."
Chen Banniang raised her sleeves and wiped her tears.
"I'm fine." She said.
There was a mumb outside the door.
"Just know you're okay." Old lady Chen said.
Listen to the sound of footsteps and seem to walk away.
I know for myself... Know for yourself....why everyone only speaks for themselves!
Chen Banniang stood up and took a few steps to open the door.
Hearing the sound of the door, the old lady Chen who walked to the courtyard turned around.
"I don't know myself, I don't know why she did this? Why is she always on top, why does she always trample people down! Why make me a joke! Chen Banniang cried, raising her sleeves to hide her face.
Old Lady Chen turned around with a heavy expression.
"She doesn't know, you know." He said.
"Grandpa!" Chen Banniang shouted.
"No one can make you a joke, only you can make a joke!" Old Lady Chen shouted.
"Why did she do that? Why did she do that? Chen Banniang cried.
"Because she wanted to, she could too." Old Lady Chen shouted, "If you don't want to, you can't, just put away your envy, take a good look at who you are, do what you can do, do what you want to do, and if you want to do things, you must first understand whether you can or not, you can think, that is stupid, you can't think, that's a fan, Chen Su, you are not stupid enough now, but you are fascinated first!" ”
"I don't have it, I don't," Chen Banniang shook her head and cried, "I'm just I'm just not convinced..."
"Not convinced?" Old Lady Chen closed her eyes and opened them suddenly, "Eighteen Niang, do you think you have worked hard to practice calligraphy for two years?" ”
Chen Banniang bit her lower lip and did not speak.
"You think you're hard enough, don't you?" Old Lady Chen continued.
Diligent... Chen Banniang still didn't speak, just shed tears.
"Eighteen Niang, do you know how many years Wang Xizhi has practiced?" Old Lady Chen said.
Chen Banniang's face changed slightly, as if she expected something, she couldn't help but tense her body, as if this would make everything stop, but it was useless.
"Eighteen Niang, you are diligent and hardworking, you have half of it, and half of it is because your surname is Chen, because your father is Chen Shao, because Chen Shao is Chen Xianggong." Old lady Chen said word by word.
That's honor, that's grace, that's the face given by heaven.
It's not, it's not, it's nonsense, it's nonsense.
Chen Banniang shook her head and retreated again and again, knowing that she had knocked down the door, she reached out to cover her mouth and tears rained down.
"No, it's not." She shouted, "Grandpa, why are you saying that, why are you saying that about me!" ”
The young woman's face was pale, her eyes were full of tears, her voice was trembling, and her body was trembling, if it was said that the old lady Chen was teaching her a lesson and scolding her a moment ago, but the words were soft, I didn't expect this sentence to come out in the end, and the wind and drizzle suddenly turned into a swishing cold arrow, and pierced into the internal organs mercilessly.
Looking at the little woman who was almost collapsed, Old Lady Chen sighed heavily in her heart.
Who am I, these three words, it's really a slap in the face.
is also a big weapon, no wonder even that Cheng Niangzi almost fell unconscious because of this.
But what can be done, to drive away the needle to see blood, and to enter the obstacle must use tiger and wolf medicine.
"Eighteen Niang." Old Lady Chen softened her tone, took a step forward, and sighed lightly, "Is it really that terrible to admit that you are inferior to others?" (To be continued......)
