075 Old Man Chen
"There are all outstanding women in this world, just like the men who are full of wealth, how many are not eager to stand in a high position and dominate the world?"
Second Mrs. Chen gently touched Shen Rouning's hair, completely ignoring the fact that so many rings on her hand had messed up Shen Rouning's neat hair, and said meaningfully: "Your mother was probably very unwilling back then. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Lewen Novel |
"Huh?" Shen Rouning shook her head, indicating that she didn't believe it.
Second Mrs. Chen smiled with pride in her smile and said, "I just got married not long ago...... After your grandfather said that, your mother didn't move around much. She always stays alone in the embroidery building, not sad, but why? And, on one occasion, I was about to speak to your mother, but I heard your mother arguing with your grandfather......"
Shen Rouning couldn't help but be a little nervous, she clenched her fists, blushed, and shook her head vigorously: "Ning'er doesn't believe it!" The second aunt must have lied to Ning'er! Mother wouldn't have quarreled with my grandfather! ”
In this era, it is about loyalty and filial piety.
The order of the parents, which can be refuted by the children.
If Chen Junyi really quarreled with her father back then, it would be equivalent to saying that Chen Junyi is not filial! Shen Rouning, who is a daughter, naturally wants to maintain her mother's reputation!
Mrs. Chen is talking about happiness, where can she allow her little audience to suspect that she is lying. But she was about to open her mouth to describe what she saw and heard back then to this daughter-in-law who looked down on her back then, but she heard someone behind her raise her voice: "Second brother and sister, Ning'er, it's only March, are you standing by the water cold?" ”
But it was Mrs. Chen who came over at a critical moment.
She stepped briskly onto the stone bridge and into the pavilion. Shook Shen Rouning's hands and said lovingly: "Look at this little hand, it's cold!" Ning'er is cold, isn't it? She raised her head, glanced at Second Mrs. Chen coldly, and said to Shen Rou Ning: "Don't stay here, your grandfather is looking for you!" ”
Second Mrs. Chen was looked at by Mrs. Chen, and heard her mention Mrs. Chen, and finally Mrs. Chen warned against discussing Chen Junyi's marriage again. I also remembered that I accidentally seemed to talk too much just now. I can't help but feel a little stupid.
Mrs. Chen also seemed to know what Mrs. Chen had just said that she shouldn't say to children, so she was annoyed and took Shen Rouning's hand directly. He didn't say hello to Mrs. Chen, and left the pavilion.
However, Shen Rouning did not forget to be polite, and when she was taken away, she saluted with Mrs. Chen.
"Ning'er. You ......" Leaving Second Mrs. Chen's sight, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but carefully look at Shen Rouning's expression. Seeing that her expression was different, she obviously heard something, and she was extremely pitiful, and couldn't help but feel relieved softly: "Don't think about it." As for your second aunt, she often speaks without intention......"
"Oh. Ning'er knows. Shen Rou replied, still a little unhappy.
Mrs. Chen was distressed when she saw this, and secretly scolded Mrs. Chen for not knowing the severity. Talking nonsense in front of small children...... But Mrs. Shen's performance over the years is there, how can she not let her daughter have suspicions of inquiry?
That's really ......
This sister-in-law is also stubborn. She didn't expect to hide it in front of the child!
Mrs. Chen sighed in her heart, thought about it and thought about it, and then persuaded her: "Ning'er, you should be happy and happy all day long at your age, the old things of adults, what do children have to ask clearly and understand?" Moreover, you and Brother Rong are both young, and there are many things that you don't understand. ”
"Oh." Shen Rou Ning smiled softly when she heard this, and said, "Ning Er knows. ”
After a pause, she added, "Thank you for your teachings." You are the same as Ning'er's aunt, you are a good person, and you are very good to Ning'er. ”
Mrs. Chen was very happy to hear this, and then she was very sad and uncomfortable-
If her sister-in-law can fulfill her responsibilities as a mother, even if she gives the children a smile with a pleasant face, Ning'er will not always remember the little love given by the eldest aunt and aunt!
Such a good two children, how can she be hard hearted!
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but complain about Mrs. Shen Si again.
When the two of them arrived at the Sanqing Hall where Old Lady Chen lived, Fourth Master Shen was not inside. Old Lady Chen was turning over the ground with a shovel in the courtyard, and Shen Duanrong and Fourth Young Master Chen Houqi were writing big characters under the corridor.
It is said that in the Chen family, there has always been a tradition of grandparents teaching grandchildren. The four brothers of the Chen family's "thick" character were all taught by the old lady until they were twelve years old, and then they were either sent to government schools or private schools to study. No matter how busy you are, you have to find time. lest the younger generations have less restraint and grow crooked.
Moreover, the boys of the Chen family, before the age of twelve, did not have heavy schoolwork. Or rather, very light. Every day, even a few big characters, and then memorize a short paragraph, talk about your understanding, and then the elders explain it, and it's almost the same. It doesn't take too long.
Now that Shen Duanrong is here, looking like this, he has been included in the scope of the old man's teaching.
"Listen to your father, Ning'er also reads some books at home?" Even if Mrs. Chen is doing farm work to plough the ground, her whole body is full of elegance and wisdom. Seeing the two of them coming to salute, he didn't stop working, and his speech was very kind and casual, which made people easily feel close.
Shen Rouning also had a good impression of this old man, and when she heard him ask, she replied: "Back to my grandfather's words, Ning Er is stubborn, and after she became literate, she always skipped class from the clan and borrowed some customs and travelogues to read on weekdays...... But Ning'er reads very slowly, and a book is almost half a year old. ”
One book in half a year, at this rate, she hasn't read a few books at all.
The book she reads the most is "Taizu Benji", but this kind of book doesn't seem to be liked by the little girl's family, and she is not very familiar with this old man, so she hides it.
As for Master Shen Si...... Well, he can't be regarded as a conscientious father, and he doesn't know what Shen Rouning is reading at all.
"The little girl's family all like customs and travelogues." Old Man Chen showed some approval and said: "My daughter's family can't go out to study as easily as a man, and reading more books like this kind of book will help broaden your horizons." Not bad. ”
"How is the handwriting?" Old Man Chen asked again.
"Ning'er can't tell." Shen Rouning replied very sincerely: "But the gentleman in the clan has always been satisfied. ”
"Go write one, and my grandfather will read it later." Old Man Chen pointed at Shen Duanrong and Chen Houqi, and said to Shen Rou. (To be continued)
