CHAPTER XIV

According to Chen Jue's meaning, he just wanted to change Mr. Wu's experience to his name and surname, pretending to be the deeds of the previous dynasty, and asking the storytellers and singers to compile a script of drama and sing it on the streets of the market. If the Zhou family has no other intentions, then the drama is for people to laugh at, and there is no other intention. If the Zhou family really felt at ease, and the Chen family had such preparations, even if it was not a foolproof strategy, they would not have to worry about not dealing with it when it came to the end.

After that, Chen Jue still took a chopstick ham into his mouth, and said with a smug smile: "This is the saying that as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." ”

When the people in the Chen Mansion heard this, they thought for a while, and Feng frowned and said: "In the end, this matter is about Mr. Wu's innocence and privacy, although we have the heart, we can't make the decision for her after all, let's discuss with her and listen to her meaning?" ”

Chen Jue sneered and said disapprerovingly: "Then I will explain it to her." But my ugly words are ahead, even if she doesn't agree with it in her heart, we have to do this, we can't just be caught and wait for others to do it. Moreover, there is no doctrine in the world that has been received for nothingβ€”"

Before a word fell, Chen snorted coldly beside him: "Brother's words are reasonable." She wants to be virtuous and virtuous to be aggrieved in vain, and she shouldn't be burdened with us. To put it mildly, since it was a submissive receptivity, why bother to act in the first place, and responded to our family's Xixi. If she has nothing to do with our family, we are crazy to take on this kind of trouble. Now that she is the female gentleman of our family, her reputation is related to the reputation of our girls. Even so, she can't help but be calculated in a daze-she's not afraid of the basin on her head, and I'm afraid that our daughter will be splashed with sewage. ”

After the words fell, Chen suddenly remembered the idea he had made earlier, because he said: "I see that although this Mr. Wu is literate, he is very confused. If she were to teach the girls, I am afraid that the girls she taught would be stupid and stupid, but it would not be good. I thought that we were also listening to the season when she was teaching the girls to read. If there is anything wrong, it is better to explain it to the girls afterwards. But you can't learn her pedantic nature. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he was embarrassed and said, "This is not good. For no reason, how can we listen to her class, as if we are not at ease. ”

Chen sneered: "It means that you are not at ease, what is there to wipe your face." Is it better for her to teach the girls to be stupid? ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he was silent. For a long time, the mosquito snorted and said, "I still don't think it's appropriate." That's a gentleman recommended by my sister-in-law, and I used to have a good relationship with my sister-in-law. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. ”

Chen frowned fiercely, and said angrily: "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have instigated my mother and sister-in-law to visit their house in the first place, but now it is easy to invite God and send God." ”

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen's chicken's white face, shook her head helplessly, and said slowly: "It's just a trivial matter." Now that the boss has an idea, just take it slowly. Why make such a fuss. You are now twenty-five or sixteen years old, and your daughters are so old, why are you still so flustered, and you can't get on the platform at all. ”

Seeing this, Chen had to pout dissatisfiedly, and the old lady Chen on the side also said: "Sister Hui'er's temperament is still too impetuous, in the past, I often said that you should teach her well-if you stay at home and be an aunt and grandmother for the rest of your life, it's okay." If not, you should always raise the spirit of the city government and learn the height of your eyebrows. It's always like this, how to make it. ”

When Mrs. Chen heard Mrs. Chen's words, she smiled and said, "That's exactly what it means." So I said that Sister Hui should get along with Mr. Wu on weekdays, and learn from the gentleness and virtuousness of others. It is important to know that women take chastity and quietness as the key, and Mr. Wu is literate and has such a gentle temperament, I look at it very well. If our sister Hui can have Mr. Wu's three points of supplicity, I will be at ease. ”

Chen Qi heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, so he smiled and said: "It just so happens that Mr. Wu is teaching at home today, such a rare opportunity, and Sister Hui has nothing to do on weekdays, go and listen to Mr. Wu's teachings." I don't expect her to learn to look like her, I just hope that Sister Hui will follow Mr. Wu's side and learn some women's safety at any time. ”

This is the same as Chen's words, but when Chen Qi said this, he didn't believe Mr. Wu, but admired Mr. Wu's character, so he had to get close to edification.

Feng also has an explanation here, and she is also a little worried about Mr. Wu's pedantry, but it is just because of Xiao Sun's Chinese person, so she can't wipe her face. Now that he has such an excuse, Feng Shi is not afraid that Mr. Wu will not be able to come to the stage, so he accepted the errand with satisfaction, and still said in his mouth: "Don't worry, I will go to talk to her after dinner, and I must explain it to her." ”

Mrs. Chen said: "The words at today's dinner table are our family's private words, and it is better not to spread the word that it will go out." ”

When everyone heard this, they smiled and agreed. Mrs. Chen was still a little uneasy, and she told the younger eldest sister and the second sister to go back - fortunately, the eldest sister was gentle and shy, she didn't talk much on weekdays, and she was timid.

As for the second sister, she is an adult who has traveled through the next generation, even if no one tells her, she knows what to say and what not to say.

Mrs. Chen admonished once, and then smiled to everyone: "Adults talk and talk heart-to-heart, and they rarely shy away from children. But I don't know that some of the tongues are all caused by children's words. They are young and do not know how to take matters seriously, but they are quick to parrot their tongues. If there is a dislike because of this, it is not beautiful. It's just a matter of asking for one or two more. ”

When everyone heard this, they all praised Mrs. Chen for what she said. Feng Shi smiled and said: "The old lady is still careful, we can't think of these anymore." ”

Old Mrs. Chen nodded, thought for a long time, and still said, "On reason, I shouldn't say this more." But since our family invited Mr. Wu to come, it was our own idea in the end. Now that something has gone wrong - not to mention that these are just our selfish concerns, even if there is real trouble one day, we should not be angry with others because of it. It's like we don't have a responsibility. ”

After that, he stared at Chen with burning eyes, and admonished in his mouth: "Helping others with good intentions but resenting them because of a momentary tongue is thankless." It's a stupid thing to do. Although our Chen family is not a high-class family, we also claim to be not stupid. Your temperament is too arrogant and indulgent in our daily life, and you are more and more straightforward and fast-talking, and there is no calculation in your mouth. As long as you are not happy for a while, whatever is good and bad will be declared in your mouth. There is a way that comes from the mouth, and in the future, you and Mr. Wu will get along, but you must not be so contemptuous, and let people theorize that our Chen family's tutor is not good. ”

Chen didn't care about what he thought, but he nodded politely.

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen carefully, still sighed, and said with a sigh: "Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu are orphans and widows, not to mention that we are here, but now they live under one roof." I don't want to let people get along with each other because of some rumors. It has always been said that the taste of sending people under the fence is uncomfortable. Now that we have invited men, we have made them rejoice. If not, it would be better to let them go immediately, and it would save our family the trouble and effort, but they would be complained about and blamed. ”

This is very serious, Chen listened to his mother say "send people under the fence", and unconsciously thought of himself. is also a widow, and there is also such a bad in-law, if she is not blessed, she will rely on her parents and brother to love her, and she is willing to fight for her. Even if the heart is arrogant and the tip is strong, I'm afraid this will not be much better.

That being the case, why bother Mr. Wu seriously. After all, Mr. Wu has a soft heart and can't stand up, which is also because there is no one in his mother's family. If Mr. Wu can have both parents like himself and his brother to support him, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhou will be like the old pious woman of the Zhao family, even if she has a good plan in her heart, there is nothing she can do?

Because Chen thought of this, he unconsciously disliked most of Mr. Wu's confused thoughts. After pondering for a long time, Fang smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I can save it." ”

When Mrs. Chen saw Chen like this, she knew that she really figured it out. Yin said and said, "Okay, okay, after talking about it for half a day, the dishes are cold." It's better to take it back on the stove and heat it up. If it's cold today, it's always hard to eat cold food. ”

After that, he told the little girl to bring the food back and reheat the pot again. At that time, it was not early, and everyone ate a bite randomly, and they each dispersed back to their rooms to rest. Fung went to Mr. Wu's guest room to chat and talk, and changed the discussion of the people at dinner to tell him in person. Mr. Wu groaned for a while, although he didn't want to make trouble from the bottom of his heart, he was afraid that the Zhou family would not forgive, which would bring the reputation of the Chen Mansion - if this is the case, not to mention that she has no face to see the Chen family again, I am afraid that even her close friend Xiao Sun will not dare to see her again.

What's more, Mr. Wu still has some thoughts in his heart. She is supple by nature, and because of Zhou Pu, she refuses to take care of the old lady of the Zhou family. But the clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention that Mr. Wu has been pampered since he was a child, reading and reading, and he is also a high-spirited child. She saw that the old lady of the Zhou family was not pleasing to the eye, and she refused to tear her face when she thought of the relationship between husband and wife, so she could only hold back her grievances in her heart. Now someone wants to be angry for her, even if it is not for herself, but in the end, it is for her to make a name for herself, and Mr. Wu is also willing.

There is another matter that is Mr. Wu's selfish calculations, which is not easy to say - Chen Fu has the intention of justifying her name, and she has to praise it in the book. If the Zhou family doesn't make trouble, if the Zhou family wants to make trouble, this matter will be published, and then everyone in the world will know her gentleness and virtuousness, and she will be like the virtuous woman in the previous dynasty's "Collection of Virtuous Ladies" and "The Biography of the Daughters", and her deeds will spread all over the world.

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Wu is willing to do so in his heart. However, she was naturally looking forward and backward, hesitated, and thought about it for a long time before agreeing. And for the sake of fame, he still begged Feng to bring her the written words and plays.

Feng Shi saw that Mr. Wu had responded to this, and felt that a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground. Such a trivial idea - besides, it is the meaning of the question, how not to be. Immediately patted his chest and agreed, still smiling and quipping: "Sir, don't worry." We will certainly act with caution so that we will not tarnish the reputation of our husband. ”

Mr. Wu only felt that his face was hot, and he was panicked and ashamed in his heart, and he wrung his handkerchief on one wall and bowed his head on the other wall and said, "It's not that I'm worried about how the house is." It's just a piece of selfishness on my part, and I want to see it. ”

Feng didn't know Mr. Wu's calculations, but misunderstood that Mr. Wu was young and thin-faced, and he refused to boast lightly. didn't care at the moment, still took Mr. Wu's hand and laughed for a while, and saw that the second watch's bangzi had been knocked, so he got up and left, and went back to the room to rest. Alone.
