Chapter Thirty-Eight: Giving Birth to a Son
Shen Zhaoyan was stunned, his gaze instantly fixed on Zhong Liyue's clear eyes, "What did you say?" β
She said he was a good guy!
He had been in business with his father since he was a child, and he had learned many insidious and cunning tricks, and no one had ever said such things to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info In the eyes of everyone, he is an extremely profitable and calculating person, and among the various people who associate with him, he is only wary and careful, and the praise of his disobedience is only 'young and promising, courageous', and every act of kindness is in accordance with the ancestral teachings and family rules.
Now someone said to him, "You are such a good person!"
It's not the eldest young master of the Shen family, it has nothing to do with business, it's just about him.
Is he a good guy?
Even he himself doesn't think he's half a good person.
But she told him with a sincere face, you are such a good person!
"Big young master, the slave has recently encountered a few uncertain words, can I ask you again?" Zhong Liyue asked.
Shen Zhaoyan retracted his mind and asked casually, "Do you still have time to read recently?" β
Zhong Liyue thought he was saying that she was not concentrating on her work, so she immediately clarified: "The slave maid took advantage of the rest time at night to watch, and there was absolutely no delay in doing things and learning the rules." β
"That's good." Shen Zhaoyan smiled lightly and said, "You are diligent in your studies!" Little Stone should ask you to share the academic expenses with him. Say, what words? β
Zhong Liyue smiled, picked up the teapot in the middle, put some water in the cup, and then dipped her fingers in the water and wrote out a few words on the table one by one.
"These words are so complicated that you actually memorized them all?" Shen Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback by her level of knowledge, and she had improved a lot compared to the word she asked him for advice last time.
"Xiaoshi will give the slave a book in total, and after learning the simple ones, don't gnaw the rest of these difficult ones, isn't there no other book to learn?!" Zhong Liyue's tone was full of helplessness.
Shen Zhaoyan slowly explained those words to her in detail, and then asked with a playful smile: "Haven't you thought about going to my study with a few copies?" β
Zhong Liyue flatly denied it: "How is it possible?!" Is that kind of person? β
Shen Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows.
Zhong Liyue was stared at by him a little weakly, his eyes were like an invisible hurricane, she resisted hard, but because the disparity in strength was too great, she was finally defeated, "Okay! The slave admits that she did think that way. Can't you even think about it? β
"What you think in your heart drives your body to act. It hasn't been done yet, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. For example, "Shen Zhaoyan is serious, but there is a smile in his eyes: "Your bowl of rice ......"
Zhong Liyue pursed her lips unconvinced, sighed, and said truthfully: "Don't worry, young master, even if the slave maid thinks about it, she won't do that." Chun Qiao is keeping an eye on it, the rules in the house are so strict, and the slaves and maids still have so many mistakes, how dare they make a little more mistakes? β
Her honesty made Shen Zhaoyan laugh, and a crooked reason came out of her mouth, but it looked so cute. How can there be such a woman in the world, who is shrewd and makes people speechless, and honest and punishes people, neither praise nor praise?
Shen Zhaoyan lost his mind for a moment, and after a while, he said with a solemn face: "The daughter of the official family pursues knowledge, gentleness and virtue, and the female celebrity of the chef is the first priority, followed by virtue, and then knowledge." The daughter of the merchant values the position of his wife and concubine, compares the wealth of the person she marries, and knows how to manage the family and is good at money, while the peasant girl values weaving, raising poultry, and sowing and farming. Did you know? β
Shen Zhaoyan was slow and there were a lot of people, Zhong Liyue listened to it for a long time, and finally understood what it meant. Didn't he just ask, you're a peasant girl, why are you learning to read and write?
"Young Master, you said something missing. What is above the top is very important to a woman no matter what kind of background, and even a lifetime of glory and wealth depends on it. β
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Zhong Liyue sneered a little: "Give birth to a son!" β
Shen Zhaoyan was slightly stunned, a trace of disappointment crossed his eyes, and after a long time, he said indifferently: "It turns out that you plan to rely on this, no wonder!" β
Zhong Liyue laughed and said, "Slave and maid, I will be a different matter. No matter if the slave and maid give birth to a boy or a girl in the future, the husband must only love the slave and the maid for the rest of his life. If he dares to want our mother and daughter, I will kick him and find a new father for the child. β
A look of horror appeared on Shen Zhaoyan's face, how could her thoughts be so absurd?
Zhong Liyue smiled contemptuously, "The slave is just joking, don't take it seriously!" β
When the meal was finished, she stood up and cleaned up the table.
Before going out, Shen Zhaoyan stopped her, then took out a book from the bookshelf, handed it to her, and said, "This book is suitable for your current level." β
Zhong Liyue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put down the food box and walked over to pick up the book, excitedly turned a few pages first, and didn't forget to say, "Thank you." β
"It's not for you." Shen Zhaoyan said.
Zhong Liyue paused, and secretly rolled her eyes, knowing that it was not so easy. Look up at him and wait for him to open the conditions.
"Aren't you a good storyteller? From now on, you will be on duty every night, and in addition to serving tea, you will tell some other stories. β
When dealing with businessmen, you really can't take it lightly! Zhong Liyue said reluctantly: "Those stories are a bit childish and not suitable for you to hear." β
"Then it's not naΓ―ve."
"But I'll talk about that."
"That's your problem." Shen Zhaoyan stretched out his hand and wanted to get the book back: "If you can't do it, or use some inferior stories to perfunctory me, this deal will be abandoned." β
Zhong Liyue shrank the book back, her face tensed, and she said simply: "Deal!" β
"Well spoken, there's another reward." Shen Zhaoyan smiled and said.
Zhong Liyue's eyes lit up: "What reward?" Can you appreciate something real? β
"Yes." After saying it gently, Shen Zhaoyan ruthlessly added: "Just deduct it from the debt you owe." β
Zhong Liyue thought about it, it's better than nothing. "Does that count?"
Shen Zhaoyan didn't understand the meaning of 'joke'.
Zhong Liyue told him two funny little jokes, and Shen Zhaoyan nodded, "Deduct a penny!" β
Hearing this, Zhong Liyue immediately felt like she had been beaten with chicken blood, "There are still ......"
"I don't want to hear it tonight," Shen Zhaoyan said deliberately unhurriedly: "Let's talk about it later!" β
Haste makes waste. It's okay, anyway, I see some hope.
Zhong Liyue carefully carried the book in her arms and returned to the dormitory with the food box. After she washed the food box, she walked softly to the front of the bedroom, and was about to push the door, when a voice suddenly sounded behind her, like a worm screaming: "Coo, coo, coo." β
Zhong Liyue listened attentively, and the voice disappeared again.
"Huh?" Looking left and right a few times strangely, Zhong Liyue didn't see anything. At this time, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Chun Qiao walked out of the house with his clothes tucked up.
Definitely came out looking for her.
Zhong Liyue shouted softly: "Chun Qiao." β
Chun Qiao was startled, her body trembled, and when she saw that it was Liyue, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where did you go?" Don't want to get in yet? Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to run around at night except for the maid on duty at night? β
Zhong Liyue replied lightly: "Well, not next time." Then he passed her and went in first.
Chun Qiao looked at the four corners of the courtyard, and then looked up at the sky, tonight is full of stars, and tomorrow should be a sunny day.
The stars in the night sky winked mischievously, and the calm night passed quickly.
