Chen brought a few sisters to his family, originally to send Poria cream, and to discuss with his parents and sisters-in-law about the Mid-Autumn Festival after his brother returned home. But I didn't expect to be persuaded by Feng's pull, and the whole person was a little confused.

I didn't have the heart to mention anything else.

After returning to You's house the next night, the Chen family had to take advantage of the fact that everyone went back to the room to rest, and pulled the third sister You to tell her what Feng had persuaded her before. Because he asked Third Sister You if she had any good ideas.

Third Sister You didn't have any feelings for Aunt Lan and the fourth girl, and of course she didn't think much of Feng's alarmist words. Guy Feng and Aunt Lan have never met, but they figure out people's hearts based on what they listen to every day. That's why I'm afraid that Aunt Lan won't be able to offer it well, and she will plot against her.

But Third Sister You and Aunt Lan's mother and daughter are under the same roof, and after a few years of getting along, she doesn't think that Aunt Lan is ruthless - or she doesn't think that Aunt Lan has the courage to do something unfavorable to the Chen family and Brother Bao.

Chen listened to Third Sister You'er's analysis of the pros and cons, and felt unsettled. Because he smiled: "I'll just say, it shouldn't be like this." If that Aunt Lan had this ability, the master wouldn't ......."

Before he finished speaking, he consciously lost his words and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Third Sister You looked at Chen's slightly uncomfortable appearance, and persuaded with a smile: "But my aunt's words reminded me of one thing, and I want to persuade my mother to say a word, but I don't know if my mother listens or not." ”

When Chen heard this, he sneered: "What are you doing so pretentiously when you talk to me? Why don't you tell us about it? ”

Seeing this, Third Sister You couldn't help but smile and said, "The fourth girl is also seven or eight years old this year. On weekdays, Aunt Lan teaches me, and I don't know if she can read or write. Why didn't Mom invite a female gentleman from outside to teach the four girls to read? ”

When Chen heard this, he was quite surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Okay, what are you talking about?" She's not my daughter, so I'm too lazy to worry about a white-eyed wolf. What's more, there are many daughters who don't study in Beijing. Don't you hear the truth that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented? ”

Of course, Third Sister You knows that the current world has strict restrictions on women's etiquette, and there are many people who don't like girls to study.

It's just that she has traveled from the afterlife and has become accustomed to the right to study regardless of gender. I wanted to cross over suddenly, and I pestered the Chen family for a long time in order to study, but fortunately, my grandfather's family loved her, and finally made her wish come true. Now that it is on the head of the fourth girl, the third sister You also naturally wants the fourth girl to study - not to show favor or anything else, but to feel that no matter the elder brother or sister, as long as the conditions permit, they should read and write, not to explain the meaning of reason, at least not to be blind.

Some of the ideas of the third sister You, Chen has never understood much. However, over the years, the Chen family has become accustomed to listening to Third Sister You'er's words, so although he doesn't think so at the moment, he still asks Third Sister You why he mentions yì like this.

Third Sister You said: "There is nothing to say, just thinking that the saint should not do to others what he does not want, and in turn, isn't it just pushing what he wants to others?" When I was younger, I wanted to study, and my mother knew it. It is also because of the love of his mother and the connivance of his grandfather's family, so he can read and write. Later, my uncle brought a nurturing grandmother from the East Palace to teach us the rules of speech every day, which is very good. When my eldest sister was taken care of by her mother, she was able to study with us and learn the rules, and I think she was also grateful to her mother. Now there are only four girls in the family who have never studied and learned the rules-"

"I don't tell my mother that because the fourth girl is too young and has always refused to be close to us, we are naturally not close to her. But whether she is close or not is one thing, and whether or not to ask her to read and write is another. If my mother doesn't like to take her to her grandfather's house, she can hire a female gentleman for her at home, which is only a few taels of silver a month, and it doesn't cost anything. Mom should just be benevolent and righteous. ”

Chen has always had clear grievances and grievances, and he is the most refreshing person. Therefore, I also like to listen to Third Sister You'er's words so neatly and unambiguously. Hearing this, he had to think about it carefully, because he said, "There is some truth in your words. I really didn't like her temperament very much, and I was taught by her aunt to be indifferent, and I hated it when I saw her frivolous look. The reason why I didn't take her to your grandfather's house was because I was afraid that her paranoia would breed quarrels. But you're right, the three sisters in our family are all serious and literate, and it's not interesting to be the only one who doesn't read. What's more, our You family is not short of those few taels of silver, if it is passed on to the future, it seems that I, who is a mother-in-law, deliberately do not ask the girl to study. ”

When Third Sister You heard what Chen said, she couldn't help but smile and said, "That's exactly what it means." Mom should just spend a few taels of silver to buy a peace of mind. If not, Mom prevaricated this time, and prevaricated next time, Aunt Nalan only cared about blowing the pillow wind when the master went, maybe one day the lord saw that their mother and daughter were pitiful, and actually opened his mouth to Mom. Wouldn't Mom say yes or no, and it's not good if you don't agree? ”

Chen smiled when he heard this, and Xian Xianyu pointed at Third Sister You'er's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a big ghost." Do you know what pillow wind is? ”

Third Sister You grinned, covered her forehead and said, "I don't know anything, I'm just too lazy to say it." ”

The mother and daughter laughed for a while, and then heard the little girl in the class outside reply that the old man was here. When Third Sister You heard this, when she got up busily, You Ziyu had already lifted the curtain and entered the door. Seeing that Chen and the third sister were gossiping in the house, he smiled unconsciously and said, "The third sister is also here, talking to your mother?" ”

Third Sister You bowed down and gave You Ziyu a salute. So he took his leave and went back to his room to rest.

Chen untied You Ziyu's clothes, and mentioned on the wall that he had discussed with You Sanjie and invited a female gentleman's family to teach the fourth girl to read.

You Ziyu was stunned when he heard this, and then the fox asked: "Good and dignified, why did you think of this?" ”

Chen Shiyin smiled: "It's nothing. I just feel that the fourth girl is now older, and she should also learn the truth of how to behave in the world. The three girls in our family all studied with Sister Wan in the Chen family to learn the rules. It's just that the fourth girl is too young, even if she follows this time, she can't even read a few words, where can she keep up with Sister Wan'er's class. Since you can't learn anything, it's better not to go. Just invite a female gentleman at home, and start with the most basic "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names". ”

When You Ziyu heard this, he had to sigh again about the virtuous and virtuous virtues of the Chen family. Because he held Chen's hand, he sighed: "Madame is a knife-mouthed tofu hearted person. I woke up early this morning and listened to what you said in the upper room, and I thought you didn't like the four girls very much. But I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful about the four girls. On the contrary, it is four girls...... It's really not like being manipulated and taught by her aunt. If you want me to say, even if you ask a female gentleman to teach, don't teach those useless books, only teach some "Female Virtues", "Women's Training", "Filial Piety" and so on, so that she knows what filial piety is. ”

When Chen heard this, he had to laugh and said, "Why should the master be seriously angry. The fourth girl is still young, it would be nice to be older. What's more, compared with the well-behaved and gentle big girl, I really don't like the fourth girl. ”

The more Chen said this, the more dissatisfied You Ziyu was with Aunt Lan and the four girls. At that moment, he took Chen's hand and said a lot of words. The Chen family changed the homely clothes for You Ziyu, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not too early." Let's go to the room and say hello to the old lady. ”

When You Ziyu heard this, he readily agreed.

For a while, they went to the upper room, and they sat down after the salute. In front of a room full of girls and concubines and maids-in-law, Chen mentioned to the old lady that he asked the female gentleman to teach the four girls to read. originally thought that You Ziyu agreed, and this matter would definitely come to fruition. Where did I think that Old Lady You heard about this, but her face was full of disapproval. only said to You Ziyu and Chen: "Why bother, the world says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented." In my opinion, it's good for my daughter's family to be stupid and stupid, as long as she knows how to teach her husband and children, she can pay back three and four virtues. If you don't read any books, can you still be like a brother and fail to get a top score? ”

Before a word fell, the faces of Aunt Lan and the four girls turned pale, and the four girls opened their mouths angrily, and when they wanted to say something, Aunt Lan was so frightened that she pulled the sleeves of the four girls and didn't tell her. Every move is seen in the eyes of others. When she arrived, Aunt Fang, who had always been at odds with Aunt Lan, gloated and hooked the corners of her mouth.

As if he hadn't seen it, Chen still smiled and persuaded Mrs. You, saying that many of her daughters' families were good for studying. Because he also said that the three sisters of the You family also studied and learned the rules, it is not good to treat the four girls lightly. He also said that the age difference between the four girls and the other three sisters is too big, and the foundation is different, even if they study in one place, it is useless after all. Therefore, it is better to ask the female gentleman to teach alone.

In the end, he tasted the old lady's intentions, and only said that the female gentleman's restraint did not have to come out of the public school, and the Chen family paid the dowry and silver by himself. When Mrs. You heard what Chen said, she just gave it up.

Aunt Lan's mother and daughter might as well have such an attitude towards Chen, and their hearts are both grateful and ashamed. After dinner, when they dispersed, they quietly kowtowed to the main courtyard to thank Chen.

The Chen family boasts of a big family, but it is not bad for these few taels of silver, but they just follow the advice of the third sister and spend money to buy peace of mind. Aunt Tulan's mother and daughter were not grateful to Dade, only a few words of greeting, and then excused themselves and asked Aunt Lan's mother and daughter to go back.

Aunt Lan and the four girls saw it, but they felt embarrassed. I had to retreat.

After that, how did the Chen family invite the husband's family to teach the four girls to read, and how to handle the marriage for the eldest girl, and raise Brother Bao with peace of mind, but there is nothing to describe the trivial matters in the back house.

Now, in the blink of an eye, it is the end of July and the beginning of August, Chen Qi and the six princes have lived up to the emperor's order, properly resettled the victims in Jiangnan, urged the officials of Liangjiang to prepare for post-disaster reconstruction, and found out the case of the impeachment of Liangjiang officials for colluding with Lu Huanzhang, the governor of the river, to embezzle money for repairing the river, and then returned to Beijing to take up his post. At this time, the guard of honor had already arrived outside Chang'an City.

When the news reached Youfu, the third sister was so happy that she jumped three feet high, and she was busy begging Chen to allow her to go to her grandfather's house to see her uncle.

Chen Xiang Shao saw Third Sister You looking like this, and he didn't feel embarrassed. Dengshi agreed.
