CHAPTER IX

Chen Qi coaxed Feng Shi with a few words, and couldn't help laughing. Because he said: "My father and mother are very old, and it is easy to save some ladders, and if I say something unpleasant, I am afraid that I will still wait to make a coffin book in the future." Besides, the girl's family study, just looking for a literate female gentleman to teach her to recognize a few words, is not more than the imperial examination for the imperial examination, and the money to socialize and move around. Every month, no matter where you save a pen, you can save a pen. You don't have to worry about the old man's hand. The rumor will go out, not to mention that my father and mother are considerate of our family to increase the population, and the cost is large, but it seems that I can't accommodate a widowed sister and two nieces and daughters. ”

“…… Our family has been on the cusp of the past few months, and how many pairs of eyes are staring at jokes. I don't want to have any more trouble, so I have to wronged you. ”

Chen Qi's heartfelt words under the lamp, Feng Shi immediately softened his heart. Besides, she didn't sell fast and couldn't tolerate people. It's just that he hates that Chen's widows still have to command when they return home, so they can't help but fight-for-tat. Now seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law are considerate and understanding, and his husband's attitude is gentle and gentle, Feng immediately came down the steps, still smiling: "It's good that you know that I have been wronged." It's not that I'm complaining, our aunt and grandmother's temperament, let alone me, whose daughter-in-law can't get along with her. I just look at my parents-in-law and your affection, so I don't care about her. ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he rubbed in front of Feng Shi with a smile on his face, rubbed her shoulders on one wall, and said with his ears and temples grinding on the other: "I know everything." You are the most virtuous of all. Don't be like her. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he couldn't help but glared at Chen Jue, and said in his mouth: "You know how to coax me." When it comes to the real chapter, it's not you who are the family, and I'm an outsider again. ”

Between the eyebrows that pretended to be angry, the amorous flow flowed, and Chen Jue's heart was hot. When he hugged Feng's rhetoric and coaxed people, he still secretly thought in his heart: "Sure enough, Brother Zichuan's words are very right, this woman is to be coaxed." As long as the woman coaxed in the bed is happy, everything is easy to discuss. It's better than her usual cold eyebrows, which makes the whole family uneasy. ”

It's night, and naturally it's a lot of upheaval, and there is no need to elaborate.

Early the next morning, the husband and wife took a pair of children to the main hall to greet their parents. After meeting Chen, Feng was rarely pleasant. Seeing this, Chen was a little surprised, and his eyes like autumn water turned around on his brother Chen Qi's body, and he hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile. The spikes on his body have relented a little.

Everyone talked to each other about the cold temperature, and Feng looked at the silent eldest sister and second sister beside Chen, with flower-like appearances, pink carvings and jade, which made people love them more and more. It's just that the clothes on his body are too thin, and they are plain, which makes him more and more pitiful. A hint of compassion flashed in Feng's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the eldest sister and the second sister should also make two thick clothes." It just so happens that winter clothes are also going to be added to the house. What color do the eldest sister and second sister like, tell your aunt, and your aunt will pick it for you. ”

Mrs. Chen smiled and continued: "Their children's families, where do they know what colors are good, or you choose them well." ”

After that, he made his eyes look at Chen. Chen pursed his lips without a trace and thanked Feng with a smile. Feng Shiyin smiled: "It's just some leather clothing, it's not worth anything." It's a pity to leave it in vain, not to mention that it's all my own family. ”

Chen listened to Feng's words, pondered carefully, and always felt a little uncomfortable. Just about to say something, his eyes touched his parents and brother who were smiling but silent, and it was difficult to say. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Huan'er is now reading and practicing calligraphy, and she must have a good pen and ink to practice." Although I can't read, when I married into the Zhao family, because the dead ghost was still motivated, the family married a good inkstone and a few ingots of emblem ink. Now the inkstone is gone, but there are still two ingots of Hui ink left, I don't know one big character, and it's useless to keep it. Just give it to the er. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he was surprised. I don't know when Chen was so generous. Chen Qi frowned and persuaded: "Such a good thing, the sister should keep it for herself." Ju'er is still young, and she can't use such a good one-"

"It is precisely because he is young that he should give him a good messenger. In this way, when he reads and practices calligraphy, he naturally knows how to cherish it. That's better than others practicing. For people like us, whether things are good or not is secondary, as long as Huan'er has a future future, it is better than anything else. Chen snatched the white, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Keep the things in my house, and I will order someone to send them to my sister-in-law in a while, and my sister-in-law will keep them." ”

Feng glanced at Chen, and then turned his head to look at Chen Qi, Chen Qi was still full of shirk, and finally couldn't resist Chen, because he smiled: "In this case, let your sister-in-law take it." After two days, the karma teacher of Huan'er passed his birthday, and he gave it a birthday gift. They are many literati and high-minded, and they love these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and I was worried about what to send. I didn't expect to be a good thing for my sister at this time. ”

Chen smiled and said: "It's all my own family, and it's a pity to leave it in vain." It's better to give it to the er. ”

Chen Jue instructed his son Chen Ju: "Since you have obtained your aunt's good things, why don't you thank your aunt." ”

Chen Hua stepped forward and bowed to Feng, thanking him in his mouth. Chen called out with a smile, and said: "My aunt has seen that you are good at studying since you were a child, and in the future, you will be a big official when you enter the imperial examination, and you will also be a big official, so it is good to earn back a life for your mother and daughter-in-law." ”

Chen Huan's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Chen frowned, because he said: "It's not very good to be shy, just like your mother, three sticks can't beat a fart, it's not like our family." ”

Before he could say a word, Feng Shi smiled, because he said: "It's not too early, presumably my father-in-law and mother-in-law are hungry, so let's pass on the food?" ”

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Just set up a meal in the small flower hall." Everyone ate lively, and then went their own way. ”

Fung's only should be. Get up, Zhang Luo's mother-in-law and maids set up tables and chairs, and cloth dishes for dinner. The Chen family is a small family, and there is no rule that the Houmen Mansion must have a daughter-in-law standing and serving, and there is no such thing as eating and sleeping silently. There is also such a straightforward and fast-talking person as Chen, who loves to laugh the most, and this breakfast is naturally lively.

After the meal was finished, Chen Jue went back to the room to change into court clothes and went to the yamen to order Mao, Chen Jue went to the school to study, and the rest of the people dispersed and went back to the room to rest.

Chen is a widow, who lives at home and cannot move around, nor does he see outsiders, so he is just idle in the town. Either the picky chickens and ducks are too woody and too greasy, or the soup is too light and salty, which makes the family uneasy. Mrs. Chen couldn't see it, so she persuaded Feng to take the eldest sister and the second sister to learn to make needles in the room, and circled Chen to recite scriptures and worship Buddha in the Buddhist hall with her.

Suddenly, more than a month later, Feng's eldest sister-in-law came to visit, only saying that the female gentleman who Feng had entrusted her with her attention a few days ago finally had a candidate.
