Chapter 12: Sister Hui'er is punished
Sister Hui and Sister Xuan were still sighing to themselves, and after a while, the little girl next to Jiang Shaoming came back, sweating profusely dragging a gray-robed scholar, and replied to Jiang Shaoming outside the screen: "Young master, Mr. Zhang has arrived." ”
Jiang Shaoming immediately stood up and respectfully bowed, "Mr. Zhang, look up for a long time." ”
The scholar replied with a salute, and then glanced at the servant standing next to him and said, "You called him to buy my kite?" But I have to give. ”
The tone was full of arrogance, and without waiting for Jiang Shaoming to answer, he lifted his robe and sat down.
Jiang Shaoming seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then a gentle voice sounded: "Mr. Zhang, if there is any rudeness in the family, it is not the first to compensate." ”
Sister Hui and the three of them didn't hear the sound for a long time, and they didn't know what Mr. Zhang's expression was, Sister Xuan really liked the kite, so she wanted to go out, but was pulled by Li Yuyi.
whispered a few words in the ear of the maid Shuyun, Shuyun nodded, cleared his throat and said: "Mr. is not the person who covets prosperity and splendor, but is just a kite that Mr. Yi abandons." ”
Mr. Zhang seemed to be looking at the screen, and Jiang Shaoming explained when he saw this: "Mr. Zhang is rude, it is the little sister and a few friends behind the screen." ”
But it's hard to explain that the person who spoke is a maid, for fear of being thought of as snubbing.
"Everyone in the world asks for something, all living beings ask for what they want, and what is not the kite that is not under the request."
Li Yuyi pondered for a while, and whispered a few words in Shuyun's ear, and Shuyun said again: "Mr. only has a good heart in his painting, and there are no other things, and he has an adventure like Spring Mei, he must be a noble and elegant person, and the kite is just a burden to Mr." ”
Mr. Zhang laughed, got up and bowed: "Miss Yu, Mei Zhixing also." ”
"If Miss likes the kite, it will be given to Miss, so what's the matter, but Miss's family can't be overwhelming." Mr. Zhang said again.
Jiang Shaoming realized that he had just been treated coldly, his cheeks were red, and he was hot, and he glared at the little guy angrily, and bowed down again to apologize.
"Dare to ask Mr. Daming, what does it matter if you live at home, and you must prepare a little gift to come to the door to pay your respects."
"Bo Li is forgotten, in the next Zhang Ruosheng, the word Mei, living in Binyang County for generations of farming and reading, this time it is to go to Beijing to catch the exam, before entering the city to meet the spring plum bloom on the East Mountain, a moment of infatuation but I don't know when the money bag fell off the coil, but after entering the city, I happened to meet the kite festival, so I got together the silver two and re-entered the road." Zhang Ruosheng saw that Jiang Shaoming himself was not a bully layman like a scholar, and he had a slight good impression in his heart, so he also briefly talked about his situation.
"If you don't come here, Mr. Jitai will be able to go to high school one day." Jiang Shaoming sighed.
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, but Mei loves the thatched house and landscape alone, but filial piety cannot be violated." Zhang Ruosheng shook his head and sighed.
Jiang Shaoming also fell down, who doesn't like the scenery in the mountains and is free, but the family and filial piety have to force them to roll in the red dust. It was Sister Xuan, who had just gotten a kite behind the screen, and the other two girls were also silent, and who was not happy here.
After a short silence in the atmosphere, several people talked about Mr. Zhang's encounter with Chun Ri Mei again, and a few people could be regarded as having a good conversation, but it was Jiang Shaoming and Zhang Ruosheng talking, Li Yuyi listened and didn't speak, and Sister Hui and Sister Xuan were discussing taking kites to hold a party at home another day, and by the way, they showed off to the little girls in Quanyizhou.
Unconsciously, noon has passed, and the time is approaching, Jiang Shaoming is ready to hurry home with his sisters, otherwise it is not fun to be discovered, so he said to Zhang Ruosheng: "It is a good fortune to meet Mr. in the next, we have a good conversation today, it is not early, how about staying in the cold house for one night?" Although Zhang Ruosheng is arrogant by nature, it is rare to be bold and uninhibited, and it is inappropriate to see the sky and want to hurry, so he nodded and agreed.
Li Yuyi has a group of family members and carriages, and his family lives on another street and goes on another road if he doesn't go by the way, but Zhang Ruosheng glanced at it hurriedly through the hat, and his heart was shocked, if it is really a young lady from an official family, she can have such a demeanor at a young age.
Sister Hui followed Sister Xuan and Jiang Shaoming back to Jiang's house first, but before they arrived at the small door, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Sister Hui and Sister Xuan knew that it was over as soon as they got out of the carriage, and Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Kneel, where is your mother's usual teaching to you? Mother Xu, Mother Zhao, do you remember what the daughter of the dignified official family actually ran away without permission, and said, who gave you the guts! In the main hall of the backyard of the Chu family, the Qin family and Chu Jinmin sat upright, and the Qin family reprimanded sharply.
Since Sister Hui crossed over, she has never seen the Qin family get angry like this, even if the subordinates make a mistake in doing things, they don't see such scolding, and they are worried in their hearts.
Chu Jinmin, seeing Sister Hui'er twisting her body slightly, cleared her throat and said: "Okay, Sister Hui'er is only four years old, where do you know that, let her get up if she is punished, the moisture on the ground is heavy, but it is not as good as the earth dragon in our north." ”
Where didn't the Qin family see Sister Hui quietly touching her knees, but remembering the hardships she had suffered, she hardened her heart: "Master, it is the responsibility of the concubine as a mother to discipline her daughter, if the master has official business, he will go to the front study, and if he wants to see his daughter, he will go to the West Courtyard to see Sister Lian." ”
Chu Jinmin was choked, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only get up and go to the study.
"The concubine specially ordered someone to make some medicinal food to replenish the body, and the master wants to come at night?" Seeing that Chu Jinmin got up and was about to leave, the Qin clan returned to his usual gentle tone and asked.
Chu Jinmin turned around, smiled slightly, and nodded, "I'm coming." ”
After passing by Sister Hui, she squeezed her eyes helplessly when she was a child.
Sister Hui silently burst into tears in her heart, who said that her father was the biggest in the family, and her father was useless at this time.
"Kneel! Sister Hui, you are four years old, your mother has never asked you for anything, it is your mother's fault, you remember your mother's words, the most difficult thing in the world is a woman, you are at home when your father and mother spoil it, but in the future, if you go out of this door, you have to be careful to live a good life. ”
"Yes, mother." Chu Zhenhui nodded in response.
Qin shook his head and sighed: "Today, you will kneel here for half an hour, think about your mother's words, and recite the "Female Commandment" that your mother taught you." ”
turned to Mother Xu on the side and said, "Mother Xu, follow me to the back warm pavilion and take care of the rest of the things." ”
"Yes, mother." Sister Hui nodded obediently and began to recite.
"Contemptible and stupid, insensitive to sex, favored by the ancestors, and trained by the mother.
Four out of ten, holding the broom in Cao's family, more than 40 years now. trembling, often afraid of humiliation, in order to increase the shame of parents, in order to benefit the burden of China and foreign countries"
In the warm pavilion, as soon as the Qin family sat down, Cui Xiu came to report: "Madam, I heard that the second lady had an accident, and Aunt Mai came to visit with the eldest lady. The Qin family had been looking for Sister Hui for a long time, and they were frightened for a long time, but at this time they were upset and irritable, slammed the account book, and said angrily: "Restless things." ”
