Chapter 17: Don't Be Virtuous
Xu smiled and looked at Xiaoying, and his mouth was towards the needlework basket. Small, pick this, whether you like it or not, girls still have to pretend to love needlework and confuse people.
It's a pity that Gu's gaze or Xu's small actions are all "pearl secret casting", as if they didn't see it.
"This kid is usually so clever, what's wrong with it today." Gu and Xu were both puzzled and anxious.
It's Lin Youhui, who is a mother, with a picture of staying out of the matter, looking at Xiao with a smile, and she doesn't care what she wants to catch at all. Lin Youhui and Pei Erye mean the same, "Whichever Xiao likes to catch, she will catch whichever one she wants, follow her heart." β
Big eyes stared at the objects in front of him without blinking, and his mind was spinning: Which is the most valuable? Which one is the most valuable?
She's valuing.
Lin Youhui looked at the little appearance of contemplation and smiled. , good daughter, you are usually very simple, why are you not free and easy enough at this point? Whatever you like, just pick one or two things you like.
After estimating the price for half a day, he stretched out his fat little hand, grabbed the jade abacus with one hand, and grabbed a piece of psychic and clear spirit stone with the other, Tian Huang frozen. "These two are about the same, if not the most valuable, right?" Grabbing two treasures, smiling.
The jade abacus is both a beautiful jade and a work of art, and it should be worth a lot. Tian Huang Jelly is the best in Tian Huang Stone, the number of surviving is very small, Xi Han is precious, and it has always been a tribute. These two items must be very valuable.
grabbed the jade abacus in one hand and Tian Huang Jelly in the other, laughing happily. Her smile was cheerful and luscious, pure and innocent, which made the adults full of worries suddenly disappear when they saw the vulgar thoughts, and immediately became clear.
Relatives and friends praised one after another, "If you hold the jade, you will be a gentle child when you grow up!" is also holding a piece of yellow jelly, which is rare. This field is moist and crystalline, and it is an extraordinary product. It must also be a clear and elegant. β
Relatives and friends are all auspicious words and kind words. On this kind of occasion, it is full of kind words and clichΓ©s, but it can still be enjoyed by the guests and hosts.
There is only one exception.
Xu's cousin Zhao Zhen also came this day, she quietly pulled Xu aside, and said in a slur manner: "Cousin, your little niece puts the spinning wheel and doesn't catch the needle and thread, but grabs the toyer. β
It's not the right thing.
Zhao Zhen's face had a strong look of worry.
When Xu saw Zhao Zhen like this, his head hurt. You just take care of yourself, eat radishes and worry about it! Is my family not doing business? Nonsense.
ββ¦β¦ Before the eldest sister caught Zhou, I ordered someone to teach her to catch the spinning wheel, and I taught her for a long time. Zhao Zhen said with some smugness.
Catching the week is a commemorative event, and it is the child's appearance in front of relatives and friends again after the full moon and 100 days, which should not be underestimated. Catch the week, we must stamp the label of "virtuous" and "IKEA" in the eyes of relatives and friends.
Otherwise, the eldest sister will be disliked by relatives and friends.
Xu was really speechless for Zhao Zhen's "cousin". The first time you came to my house, you cried at every turn, and this time you criticized my Pei family's heart and soul again, you ...... You really don't have any eyes at all.
"The jade and famous stones I caught at home are excellent, they are all treasures." Xu's expression was faint, "She will be a talented girl when she grows up, a good girl with both talent and virtue." β
Zhao Zhen sighed, "A woman's lack of talent is virtue." "Women, what do you want to be talented? The left and right are just husbands and children.
Xu and Zhao Zhen didn't speculate, and sent this "cousin" away early. Zhao Zhen saw that her face was not good, so she didn't dare to stay longer.
"If she and the Pei family come and go often, she can make me angry to death!" Xu Shi looked at Zhao Zhen's thin back and frowned and thought.
My uncle is also a hero, how did he raise such a daughter? It's so eye-catching, so annoying.
Xu thought that he would often entertain such a cousin in the future, and he was unhappy.
"Can you think of a way to get rid of my 'cousin'?" Xu pondered, "If there is really no way, I have to go and ask my father, or the cousin of the Zhao family, to transfer the 'cousin-in-law' of the Mei family." β
If Mei Qianhu is no longer in the Suzhou Health Center, Zhao Zhen, who is his wife, will naturally have to leave. In this way, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of the "cousin".
Xu has a plan in his heart-
The night was as cool as water, and the candlelight was hazy.
"Let's guess it's not a virtuous character when we grow up." Mrs. Fang said with a smile about catching Zhou.
"Don't be virtuous." Pei Taishou said slowly: "The world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, what is the use of being virtuous." β
Nowadays, the trend of extravagance is becoming more and more popular, whether it is a large family or a medium-sized family, there are very few monogamous couples. Even if he already has children and daughters, he still has to take concubines as a man, and he still refuses to stop. With such an atmosphere, what do you do to raise a girl with virtue? grew up in her mother's house, and then went to her husband's house to take care of the concubine willingly.
Don't be virtuous.
Pei Taishou is a well-known magistrate, and he is very disgusted and opposed to officials, wealthy merchants, and gentlemen taking concubines and concubines. The number of adult men and adult women in the world is not much different, but if there are too many concubines from rich and noble families and official eunuchs, there will be many poor men who have nowhere to marry. If a man in the prime of life has no family, is he willing to keep to himself, and is he willing to accept it?
It can well be imagined.
On the one hand, poor men can't marry daughters-in-law, and on the other hand, men from rich and noble families occupy more than a dozen concubines, or even dozens or hundreds of concubines.
Pei Taishou was very dissatisfied with this atmosphere.
Mrs. Fang was stunned, "Is this already the case?" If that's the case, who can you marry when you grow up? It's not safe to marry anyone. β
She was only one year old, but Mrs. Fang already had such worries.
Pei Taishou smiled, "Most of them are like this, but there are always exceptions." We only have one small, and we only need a little son-in-law, just one, let's pick it up slowly first, and then talk about the past. β
Most of the time, we don't have to worry about it. We don't want much, one is enough.
Seeing her husband's determined expression, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but wonder, "Cheng, listen to you." β
Xiao didn't know that her life's events had entered the field of vision of her grandfather and grandmother, and at this moment she was holding her breath, taking serious steps and learning to walk.
She was still unsteady on her steps and sometimes fell to the ground. After falling, she cried twice, and then, getting up, continued to waddle away.
Pei Erye was dressed in a light robe, holding a volume of "Yellow Valley Collection", leaning on the Luohan couch and reading it leisurely. said that he was reading a book, but in fact, he was not attentive, and he had to stop and look at his baby daughter from time to time.
You must walk on your own, and you are not allowed to follow or support him.
If he doesn't feel at ease with him, he will stretch out his little hand and push him, "Dad, no." β
Those little hands are obviously soft and small, but they are very powerful, and they can really push her father Pei Erye away.
"It's so strong!" Lin Youhui exclaimed in surprise beside him, very surprised.
He smiled proudly and continued to stumble and learn to walk.
