Chapter 20: The First Mention of Leaving Home
The follow-up impact of Mr. Shouyang's assassination was much greater than Wen Sheng expected, and it had been seven or eight days since he heard the movement in Chen's old store that day.
The streets and alleys were full of all kinds of gossip, and the men of the family were afraid of getting into trouble, and all their entertainment and pastimes were canceled, and they hurried out and came back in a hurry, bringing back all kinds of unbelievable rumors.
The last time I went to Chen's old store was the tenth day of the winter month, Bai Linyuan and Wen Sheng agreed to get together on the third and ninth days, and on the thirteenth day, Wen Sheng definitely had no way to go out when he saw this situation, so he had to wait until the nineteenth day of the winter month.
Wen Sheng brought his uncle and cousins back and analyzed the news a little, and privately guessed that according to Cheng DΓΉ, who was valued by the official government, Mr. Shouyang must be extremely injured.
There are some hidden secrets in this, which cannot be accessed at all according to her current living environment, and it is useless to think about it.
Wen Sheng has her own troubles.
Li was stimulated by the pungency of the girl cousin XiΓ n on the day Gu Da and his wife came to the door, she didn't dare to squeak in front of the old lady and eldest brother, but in private, she pulled Wen Sheng to talk to her heart and shed tears several times a day, so that Wen Sheng had no time to take care of it.
"Sheng'er, how did your child's temper become like this? You haven't married yet, you should call an adult to come forward when you encounter something, and learn from your cousin, who is so capable as your aunt, and listens to your uncle at home and abroad, and never speaks loudly. Don't learn from your grandmother, woman, when you get her age, you have that confidence when your children and grandchildren are full. "The Li family is bitter.
Wen Sheng gave up convincing her early in the morning, and only patiently coaxed her to be happy: "Okay, I know, I'll go and learn embroidery with my cousin." β
The female celebrity of the predecessor is very good, but she has never worked hard, relying on her painting skills to barely fool things.
When Li heard this, he was even more energetic, and refused to let Wen Sheng go, chattering in his mouth: "It's time for you to pick up the needle and thread and do something serious, the bedding and curtains that my mother prepared for you earlier have been left at home, and I will discuss it with your uncle when I go back." My mother didn't expect it to be so soon, if your family affairs were decided, the dowry would have to be purchased, and so many things would be embroidered, and I didn't know if it would be too late. β
mentioned his daughter's worrying lifelong event, Li rarely showed his resentment towards her husband: "Your ruthless father left us two mothers, and he didn't think about you at all, how much bullying a fatherless child in this world will suffer." β
Wen Sheng was silent, according to her thoughts, Gu Er suddenly disappeared without warning, there has been no news for more than ten years, and the possibility of still living in the world is really very small.
Li took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and told his daughter: "I have asked your uncle to help set the housekeeper for the child, and your uncle said that the child is dignified and has a good temper, which is a good choice." After a few days when it is more peaceful outside, he will ask you to bring your uncle and his son to the house to discuss business, and you can take a look quietly. β
She paused for her stunned look at the above, remembering her daughter's refusal of her last time, and couldn't help but cry again: "Good boy, don't listen to your aunt, we are from a small family, and your father is not here, how can you be worthy of the son of the fourth master Bai, it is a fluke to climb high, and it will not be easy to live in the future." My mother only looks forward to marrying you to a good family, and she will be harmonious and beautiful for a lifetime, even if it delays Qinggui's marriage, it's a big deal that we will compensate her more in the future. Mother's life is hard, don't be like your mother......"
When Wen Sheng heard this, his heart couldn't help but soften, although Li's head was a little unclear, it was really good to his daughter.
However, the housekeeper really can't do what she wants, not only because her uncle intended to marry Qinggui to the housekeeper before her, but more importantly, she can't live the life of an ordinary woman like a husband and a child.
Don't say that a man she has never seen before, even Bai Linyuan, who has a common hobby and can barely chat a few words, she doesn't have the slightest idea.
She is an uninvited guest in this world, and she hasn't figured out how to go forward, why should she tie her hands and feet for a man?
But these truths were obviously not clear to the Li family, so Wen Sheng had to calm her down with good words and go to talk to her uncle Li Rong in person.
In Wen Sheng's view, his uncle Li Rong has the responsibility of the head of the family, but also the determination of a shrewd businessman, and the Li family is simply not like being born by the same parents.
And Li Rong went through the events of the day before yesterday, and he also looked at this niece a little differently.
When the old man of the Gu family was alive, he arranged for the eldest son to go to the shop as an apprentice, and the younger son was literate.
Li Rong couldn't get used to the stinky problem of those who read books all day long, hungry and poor.
He would rather his niece learn from shrews and scold the streets, rather than seek death with hatred like those martyrs, not to mention that Japanese Wensheng's sharp words not only frightened Gu Da and his family, but also did not lose face, which was really beyond his expectations.
Wen Sheng greeted his uncle, and after sitting down, he got straight to the point: "Uncle, don't listen to my mother, I don't want to settle my family affairs so early." β
Li Ronggang wanted to say, "Fifteen is not too early", Wen Sheng said sternly: "Don't hide it from my uncle, I think after a while, I will wait for my mother's affection to be more stable, arrange the affairs of the family, and then leave the water, walk around, take a look, and have a long insight, so as not to come to this world in vain." β
Li Rong was surprised, seeing that Wen Sheng didn't look like a joke, he reprimanded: "Nonsense, there is a war outside, and there is chaos everywhere, besides, you are a girl, what do you eat and wear when you leave your relatives?" Who will take care of you? I don't even know if I've been sold! β
Wen Sheng had expected him to say this, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, since I have this plan, I will definitely make thorough preparations." I've been out in men's clothes many times these days, and no one can see the flaws. And I went out in the name of a study tour, and I wouldn't be among the peddlers. β
Among the elders of the Li family, Li Rong is the most open, Wen Sheng knows that he will not let go lightly, but she is still willing to give it a try.
Since she had replaced the fifteen-year-old girl and recognized her family, she could not leave without saying goodbye in the future.
Li Rong stared at this niece whose temperament had changed greatly, and didn't react for a long time, could it be that finding a death would really stimulate people to the other extreme, the little girl used to talk to him and hummed in her throat, thinking so, he only felt a terrible headache, stroked his forehead and said: "From now on, you don't want to go out, you have to leave Lishui and wait for you to get married, and together with your husband, you will also have a care." Sheng'er, think about your mother, your father left her for more than ten years, and if you leave, she not only has to think about the old, but also cares about the young, so you are not afraid that she will cry and be blind? β
