Chapter 80: Talent
Wen Chunyi actually wanted to stay and observe and learn this kind of gentle trick ability, but the Jin family never gave her this kind of learning opportunity. She could only go to Wen Xiujun unhappily to catch a piece of Wen Xiujun and go to the vegetable field, and it would be fun for her sister and brother to play in the mud together. After Mrs. Wen left, Wen Chunyi's sister and brother returned to the front yard, they looked at the Jin family's peaceful expression, and knew that it was another trick that did not lose or win.
When the snow was falling, Wen Chaoqing sat quietly at home and read books, and taught the two children their studies attentively. Wen Xueyi went to read to the old lady Wen as usual, and Wen Xiuyu was found by Wen Xiubai in the big house to study hard. Kim had a relaxed look on his face, making a small dress in his hand. She lived a peaceful life, and her face looked younger than before, so that many people in Wenfu guessed that her birth was a daughter. Wen Chaoqing already has two sons, and he is about the Jin family's rebirth of children, but the Jin family wants to ask for another son. She said: "As you get older, it will be more difficult to give birth in the future, and if you have one more son, two daughters can have one more backer." ”
There is no easy life for women in this era. In her mother's family, if you want to practice a virtuous lady, you can already have a good reputation. When you marry into your husband's family, the first task is to have children, and the more children you have, the better. But no matter what, when a woman reaches a certain age, she will be limited in what she wants to give birth to. A woman like the Kim family who gave birth to two pairs of children and went smoothly from pregnancy to childbirth is rare among the daughters-in-law of the family. And since the Jin family gave birth to Wen Xiujun, the doctors have hinted to her that after she was lonely, she soon didn't have much thought, and now this baby is an unexpected surprise.
Wen Chunyi felt that according to Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family, they would get along so well, as long as the Jin family's health was good. I'm afraid that she will not only add this brother or sister. In other people's families, why the wives have never had children at a certain age, it is because the woman has seen through her husband at such a time, and she has children by her side at this time, so she can't care about her husband, and she doesn't want to have children to suffer. And the Jin family, according to what Wen Chunyi saw in his previous life, it is not a strange thing for a person to give birth to a child in forty years. Wen Chunyi listened to Jin's muttering. Take a look at Wen Chaoqing's leisurely eyebrows. She immersed herself in practicing calligraphy.
Wen Chunyi once again realized that she was born a waste material, no matter what life she was. She learns things, but she still can't learn the depths. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was born without that talent. She's just a miscellaneous. I am willing to learn everything, but I can only do everything to the point of touching the steps at the door. The only thing she can believe now is 'hard work makes up for it'. She has worked hard with her heart, and there are always one or two things that she can do in the future. Wen Chunyi believes in practical learning, and she feels that what she learns is not as important as learning how to survive.
In the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Wen Chunyi thinks that the first two things are too difficult to learn, and even if they are learned, the practicality is not strong. A woman can't rely on those two things to earn silver taels, she thinks that calligraphy and painting are practical, at least when she is poor, she can write and paint to earn silver taels. Wen Chunyi is still the person who is in charge of pragmatist ideas, she has figured out the path of the future, and immediately gave up her dream of becoming an all-rounder. Wen Chaoqing raised his eyes and saw his little daughter writing with a fierce expression on her face, he shook his head gently, he thought that it was a very enjoyable thing to write and learn to paint with his heart, how did he get to his little daughter, it became such a painful thing.
Wen Chaoqing had the intention to ask Wen Chunyi to stop, but seeing her focused expression, he could only shake his head lightly. He knew that the temperament of this daughter was the kind of person who would never turn back if she didn't touch her head and bleed. Wen Chaoqing sighed lightly, and could only look at Wen Xiujun drawing words on the paper, looking at the happy expression on his youngest son's face, his heart was a little more comfortable. Jin was a little worried about Wen Chunyi's expression, she wanted to interrupt, but looking at Wen Chaoqing's light head, she could only swallow her own worry. If learning to write is such an uncomfortable thing, she would rather her daughter only know how to write, and not continue to write.
When Jin was a daughter's family, he also thought that qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were the four things that women must learn. After getting married, she immediately understood that it was just an ornament for leisure, and it could not replace the food and clothing of living at home. Jin thought about it carefully, after marrying into the Wen Mansion, she didn't seem to have sat down to play the piano, she never really stopped her ten fingers during the day, and all she thought about in her mind was how to earn more silver taels for her children. And Wen Chaoqing is obviously a person who can spend a day idle with a book in hand. Jin glanced at Wen Chaoqing and asked tentatively, "Do you want to teach the two of them to play chess?" ”
Wen Chaoqing glanced at the Jin family and said, "I'm not good at playing chess, if the two of them have the heart to learn to play chess, they can look for a gentleman to learn like their brother and sister." Jin blushed, she had been married for so many years before she came to care about her husband's situation. She blushed and said, "I don't know how to play chess, I can only make a few moves at a time." The piano is also not good at playing, only a few tunes. The characters are also poorly written, at most the same size. Drawing, I just use it to draw patterns. Jin confessed to Wen Chaoqing that in the past, Jin Fu told Wen Fu that she could do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Wen Chaoqing laughed lowly, glanced at the focused children, and said, "What the Jin Mansion said at that time, no one in our Mansion believed it. Miss Yan of the Jin Mansion, the reputation of talent and learning is not obvious, how much can you still be trained by the Jin Mansion. Living a life, knowing how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is far less practical than you know how to needlework. Wen Chunyi's eyebrows moved, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out that people from scholarly families did not practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home. Wen Chunyi put down the pen, held the paper on which he wrote, and brought it to Wen Chaoqing for him to comment.
After Wen Chaoqing looked at it attentively, he nodded with a smile and said, "Xue Duo has put her heart into it, and this character is better than yesterday." Wen Chunyi can't see any progress, in her eyes, there is no difference between this word and yesterday's words, at most when she writes today, she did not exert as much effort as yesterday, but lightened her hand, and the words did not come out in a group. Wen Xiujun heard Wen Chaoqing praise Wen Chunyi, he immediately held his own painting over, Wen Chaoqing took it and looked at it carefully, still smiling and praising it: "Jun'er's character is drawn out of shape, continue to paint tomorrow, and it will definitely be better than today's painting." ”
Wen Chunyi glanced at the words drawn by Wen Xiujun, one by one with a big round font, and there was a childish smell coming to his face when he saw it. No wonder Wen Chaoqing can boast about it, Wen Xiujun's words are indeed well drawn. And the paper I used was much less ink than yesterday, and in Wen Chaoqing's eyes, it was naturally a huge progress. Wen Chaoqing looked at a pair of children happily, he listened to the sound of the wind and snow outside, and discussed with them: "Xueduo, Jun'er, the snow is heavy outside, can you accompany your father and mother in the room?" Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun both shook their heads, they had already discussed going to the backyard to make snow and play.
Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun left against the wind and snow, Jin remembered Wen Chunyi's tangled expression when she wrote, she opened her mouth and said comfortingly to Wen Chaoqing: "Master, Xueduo is a woman, she doesn't have to learn everything." As long as you can read this writing, you can let her go. Wen Chaoqing looked at her with a smile: "I don't know who Xue Duo looks like for a person with such a temperament." I think she's like you, she decides something, and she doesn't care about it. She decided to write well, and I couldn't dampen her confidence, so I could only encourage her.
Born in a family like ours, a woman does not have to be proficient in everything, but at least she must be able to do one or two, and then she can have the capital to gain a firm foothold whether she is in front of people or her husband's family. She told me that she wanted to learn calligraphy and painting, but fortunately, I had not returned these two introductory knowledge to my husband, and I could still deal with her a few times. "A woman born in a scholarly family, if she doesn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is very embarrassing to spread the word, and it will also make people doubt the woman's conduct when she is in her mother's house. Wen Mingqing will not allow his daughter to fall into that situation no matter what.
Wen Chunyi is still young, she has a desire to learn, and as a father, he must try his best to teach her. Wen Chaoqing sighed lightly and said: "I don't have to worry about Xueyi's talent, she is willing to learn everything, and my father also chose a very suitable gentleman for her." Xueduo is a little different, I only have three minutes of heat when I look at her learning anything. And it's because she obviously likes to learn practical things, and doesn't like to learn more things to cultivate sentiment. In any case, I also want her to learn to play a few piano songs, and to take a few chess moves, as long as she can fool the layman. ”
Jin understood Wen Chaoqing's good intentions, but she sighed lightly and said: "I don't want my daughter's talent and reputation to spread around, the better it spreads, the better it spreads, if it doesn't reach the height that others imagine, others will be disappointed in her, and then they will be disgusted." "A woman with an outstanding name has many people who come to her door to ask for relatives. But the Kim family didn't want their two daughters to have any fame. Wen Xueyi is learning everything, but everything is on the same level, not the best among the sisters, nor the worst among the sisters. Jin actually didn't believe that Wen Xueyi only had such a level, at least in terms of chess, Wen Xueyi was good at layout.
Kim hid his doubts about his eldest daughter deeply, thinking that she was so good. A talented woman has everything going well in her mother's house, but a few people can have a better life in her husband's house. Wen Chaoqing is different from the Jin family, he has a deep understanding of the word 'talent name' after hearing about Suyi's relatives. Wen Suyi has outstanding appearance and mediocre learning, but then I don't know when she spread her reputation for talent. Wen Chaohong once complained that the people who came to Wen Suyi to ask for his son were mostly some gentlemen.
Wen Chaohong has feelings for Wen Suyi's daughter, she is his first daughter, although she is not as important as the eldest son, at least he cherishes this daughter, not to mention that this daughter is more pleasing to him than her biological mother. After Wen Suyi got married, she had a good life at the beginning, but recently it was reported that her life in her husband's house was not as good as she had shown. After Wen Chaoqing got the news, she felt the same uncomfortable, after all, she was the daughter of Wenfu. (To be continued......)
