122 Learning
But now, when she entered the capital and discovered the big trouble hidden behind her indifferent mother, Shen Rouning naturally couldn't be as idle as before. She has also grown up, and it is time for her to study hard.
Although she is smart, she can quickly think through when Old Man Chen talks to her about the old things, that is because she was also a good master in the palace in her previous life, and she is familiar with "Taizu Benji", so she can understand the difference.
This is in the general direction.
But from a small place, she is still confused about a lot of common sense and knowledge about the current Daqing Dynasty. When she was in Shenjia Village, because of her young age, Mrs. Shen mostly told her some basic virtues of being a human being, but did not teach her anything specifically.
Chao Yan and her family, as well as the arrangement of the Liu family's canteen, were completely on her whim. Not a plan. It's just that she knows the benefits of having private money in hand.
Now, she is leaving Beijing again.
Although she clearly knew that her cold-faced mother was not really completely indifferent to her father, Shen Rouning was basically sure that her mother would not be in the mood to teach her anything in the future.
I am afraid that the words of that day are all she has.
Therefore, before leaving, she must hurry up and learn from Mrs. Chen. I don't ask about the purpose, I don't have a direction, I think of where it is, and I learn everything. I couldn't understand it for a while, so I forcibly wrote it down, and then I slowly pondered it later.
Seeing that she was studious and intelligent, Mrs. Chen was of course willing to teach and did not reserve it.
And after Old Man Chen finished handling his business, Shen Rouning also stayed at his grandfather's place as much as possible. Talking, too, is learning.
Shen Rouning is very busy every day, and there is a lot less attention to Chen Houji's cousin.
Soon, there were only two days left before departure.
Shen Rouning arrived in front of Mrs. Chen early as usual, and observed how she sent the housekeepers and mothers who came over to ask for instructions, and even some big shopkeepers outside-
Not only Mrs. Chen's own dowry, but even the Chen family's property. It's also Mrs. Chen's control. Although it is not said that the financial resources are extensive. But the income is stable, which is very good.
"Ning'er is here." When Mrs. Chen saw her, she smiled and beckoned. After looking at the look on her face, she shook her head slightly and said, "You stayed up late?" Girls' families, how do they not know to cherish themselves! The ledger has already been copied in several copies, and it's not too late for you to take it with you and read it slowly! ”
"Thank you aunt for caring about Ning'er." Shen Rouning sat very close to Mrs. Chen. Jiao said in a coquettish voice: "However, the eldest aunt has wronged Ning'er." Ning'er just flipped through it casually and didn't stay up late. "Mrs. Chen asked people to send a box of account books to Banyuexuan yesterday, saying that it was the dowry that the Chen family bought for her aunt and grandmother back then, even if her aunt refused to take it away. The Chen family has also been operating these properties separately, only waiting for them to be delivered to their aunt and grandmother one day.
Or, in the hands of aunts and grandmothers, the same is true for children. Daqing customs. The mother's dowry does not belong to the husband's property, and there are many children. Most of them are to marry their daughters first; If there are few children, most of them will be given to their daughters, and some private property will also be left for their sons, so that their sons will not have a tight and ugly life after they get married in the future.
Mrs. Chen had explained to Shen Rouning before that Old Man Chen would not take back these properties, Shen Rouning thought for a long time, and asked her father what he meant, before agreeing to contact and understand, and was willing to accept the box of account books.
"Then why do you look a little bad?" Mrs. Chen asked with concern.
"Auntie, Ning'er thinks your complexion is not very good." Shen Rouning shook her head and said coquettishly: "Just now, Sister Peony said that you didn't want to see those housekeeper mothers. ”
Shen Rouning was already puzzled when she heard the news, but when she came in at this time, she saw that Mrs. Chen's face was obviously a little dark, and even the smile in front of her was a little forced to smile, so she followed Mrs. Chen's words and asked.
Mrs. Chen really sighed, hugged Shen Rouning, and said sadly: "It's not that I can't bear you...... Your cousin Houyun hasn't come back yet, and you're gone again. ”
"Auntie, are you worried about this?" Shen Rouning showed a soft smile and said, "Isn't Cousin Houyun on a study tour?" Ning Er heard that the study tour is to go to a few more places and see more different scenery and folk customs...... In this case, auntie, you can write a letter to Cousin Yun and ask him to go to Zhoushan as well......" Shen Rouning hugged Mrs. Chen's arm and shook it slightly, and asked, "Auntie, did you say that?" ”
"Everyone says that Cousin Yun is a talented young man, and Ning'er really wants to see it!"
Mrs. Chen has no daughters in her life, and when she was so coquettish by Shen Rouning's delicate, soft and good-looking little girl, her heart immediately melted, and even the gloom in her heart just now was dispersed a lot, and she hugged Shen Rouning and loved her for a while, before she said: "Well, don't worry, Ning'er, you will definitely see your cousin." My aunt will write to me in a moment. ”
"Auntie, you have agreed!" Shen Rouning looked at Mrs. Chen with bright eyes, and said, "If Cousin Yun doesn't arrive, Ning Er will have to sue her grandfather and uncle!" ”
"You girl!" Mrs. Chen stopped Shen Rouning's forehead a little, a smile flowed from the corner of her mouth, and said, "I actually learned to tell my aunt!" ”
Shen Rouning smiled stupidly, provoked Mrs. Chen again, hugged her and rubbed her fiercely, her hair was scattered, and then she let her go, and personally took a peach wood comb and combed Shen Rouning's hair.
Shen Rouning's hair is very good.
Dense and soft, just a little below the shoulders, not too long to be difficult to care for.
This length is just right.
Mrs. Chen combed it carefully, sighed again, and then spoke: "Houyun is leaving, and your cousin is leaving too......"
"Huh?" Shen Rouning said in surprise: "Cousin Ji is leaving?" Where did he go? ”
No wonder Mrs. Chen was in a bad mood just now. The eldest son is not around, and the younger son is planning to leave, so she is in a good mood with these two sons.
Mrs. Chen smiled at Shen Rouning in the mirror, and said, "He won't let me tell you." However, since he must have made up his mind before he came to tell me, of course I didn't want to help him anymore. Well, the eldest aunt just wants to tell Ning'er to make him feel complacent. ”
"Auntie, where is Cousin Ji going?" Shen Rouning asked again.
"He, he wants to set off with you and go to Ningbo." Mrs. Chen's face darkened again, and she said, "Let me hide it from you for him, saying that I want to surprise you." Hmph, I won't hide it from ...... for him" (to be continued)
