Chapter 104: Ploughing and Reading
Wen Chaoqing and Jin had a conversation, and his heart was relieved, he was not a person who couldn't stand things. Besides, over the years, he could somewhat feel Wen Chaocheng's more and more coping thoughts about him. Wen Chaoqing sighed lightly, he is a person with a family and children, brothers, naturally close. Brothers are far away, and they are naturally unfamiliar.
In the sixth room, Wen Chaocheng and his wife sat opposite each other, Wen Chaocheng sighed and said: "After so many years, I thought that my fourth brother would grow, but he was still not angry. My fourth sister-in-law is a little family, you listen to what she said, as long as she mentions her children, she is full of smiles, and she can't wait to praise her children for their success. Among the five children, I saw that Xue was a little more competitive, but unfortunately it was a woman. The old boy, obviously we were sitting in his house, he and his younger brother didn't understand etiquette, so they went to the old house to eat. ”
Every time Wen Chaocheng mentioned this unassuming brother to Mrs. Wen Liu, he had to sigh first. Mrs. Wen smiled slightly and comforted him: "Master, I see that the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law's family are living happily now, and with your father and brothers here, you don't have to worry about their family." Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, he gently stirred up Wen Chaocheng's heart, he raised his eyes and said, "Is this something I can avoid?" Anyway, I was the same brother as him. Mrs. Wen lowered her eyelids, hid the faint smile in her eyes, and whispered: "Master, there are big and small abilities, and there is an eldest brother, so it is not our turn to speak as the youngest." ”
Mrs. Wen Liu actually didn't want to return to Ancheng, even if her maiden home was in Ancheng. Six rooms in the field of days. Covered by the reputation of Wenfu, their life is more comfortable than the life in Wenfu. It's just that Mrs. Wen's illness has worsened, and Wen Chaocheng happened to be renewed, and if the people in the sixth room don't rush back to fulfill their filial piety at this time, it will be a big unfilial piety. Wen Chaocheng's hand patted Mrs. Wenliu's hand, and he whispered, "Madam, follow me, I have wronged you." Mrs. Wen raised her eyes and shook her head with a smile and said, "Master, as long as you treat me sincerely." No matter what day you live. I don't feel aggrieved. ”
It's night, it's really night, and under the night, everything becomes blurry. After dawn. It's the beginning of a new day. Mrs. Wen looked better at the old lady's health. The people of the six rooms are gathered again. Wenfu seemed to be lively. It's just that that kind of excitement has nothing to do with Wen Chunyi, her life has not changed, and she still has to stay firmly in the four-room courtyard. Wen Chunyi knew that it was for her. Wen that the old lady is not good for a day, she must act carefully every day, and she can't find fault with anyone from her. After Wen Xinyi got married, Wen Chunyi didn't leave the courtyard door of the fourth room, Wen Xiuyu originally had the intention to pull her out of the courtyard to go around, and listened to her words silently.
"I was originally a thorn in the eyes of the people of Yifu, and my grandmother is not in good health now, and the people of Yifu are irritable. As long as I go out of the four-room courtyard door and meet people, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, I am wrong. Then I'll stay in my yard, and I can't jump over the courtyard wall for any trouble outside. Wen Chunyi's words, after Wen Xiuyu relayed the complaint, Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family looked sad, but they were also powerless against reality. Wen Chunyi has a calm expression on her face, she is learning needlework with the Jin family right now, and she really doesn't have the leisure to wander around.
Wen Chunyi is to learn from the East and learn from the West, so I have never learned well, but I want to learn everything. Fortunately, Wen Chaoqing and Jin's requirements for her are many times lower than Wen Xueyi, but the two are happy that she is studious. Wenxiujie, a little doll, is also a good baby who eats and drinks enough to play by herself. On the days when the Jin family served Mrs. Wen, Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun were able to take care of Wen Xiujie properly, and the three sisters and brothers had fun together, and they rested on the same couch at noon. The people in the fourth room once again secretly sighed at the good things of their little masters, and complained about Wen Chunyi by the way.
The people in Wenfu are beginning to shift their minds as Mrs. Wen's health improves. Wen Chaocheng has begun to go out early and return late every day for his official position, and Mrs. Wen Liu often takes her children back to her parents' house to find a way for this. Wen Chaocheng returned this time, and after hearing the old lady's reprimand, he regained his understanding of the great truth of 'parents are here, don't travel far', and he decided that if he really couldn't stay in Ancheng as a petty official, he would be a petty official in the area near Anseong. Wen Chaocheng has a heart, Wen Chaohong has a connection, the big house and the sixth room are close, Mrs. Wen Liu takes the child to run the mother's house diligent first, running the big house is extraordinarily diligent second.
When the hottest season of summer came, all the people in Wenfu began to believe that Mrs. Wen, who easily refused to admit defeat, would definitely be able to cross the threshold of life and death this time. The old doctor looked at Mrs. Wen's body, and nodded with some satisfaction, according to the progress of Mrs. Wen's recovery now, it is rumored that his reputation, medical ethics and medical skills can go to a higher level. He instructed Wen Chaohong that the more like this, the more he couldn't relax. The more cautious the people who serve, as long as the summer is safe, and the autumn is well conditioned, the old lady Wen will live for a few more years, it is certain that she will come down.
On a summer night, a paradise for mosquitoes and flies, mosquito grass is lit early in the four corners of the four-room front yard. Wen Chaoqing and Jin sat on low stools, and the children all sat on straw mats spread on the ground. The family was talking in the cool evening breeze, and after hearing that the old lady had recovered a little, she refused to continue to serve the Jin family by taking advantage of the fact that there were many children in the fourth room and few people. Kim was a little sad at first, but quickly became relieved. Since she was a child, she has seen too many cold eyes, but now hearing the old lady's refusal, it can make her have time to be busy with her own private work. She didn't have the lascivious dowry of her concubines, and she had to work hard to save it for her daughter.
Wen Chaoqing glanced at Wen Xiujie, who was surrounded by the four big ones in the middle, turned his head and said to the Jin family: "Tomorrow, you take a few of them to say goodbye to your mother." Xueduo still didn't go, stayed at home and guarded the yard. Wen Chaoqing said the last sentence, paused slightly, and glanced at Wen Chunyi who was smiling slightly with some guilt. Kim smiled and nodded, "Okay, mother is worried about them, and I should take them to say goodbye." "Mrs. Wen used the child as an excuse to refuse her filial piety, and she also can't let people criticize herself and her child's conduct, reputation, in the scholarly family, is more important than money.
Wen Xiujie was happily surrounded by his brothers and sisters, he could already say some words, and he would look at each one with a smile, he was a cute doll. Wen Xiuyu looked at Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun with a strange look on their faces and asked, "Xueduo, Brother Jun, what kind of vegetables have you planted this time, it's been so long, and I haven't seen a leaf grow out?" Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun looked at him with a smile, shook their heads together and said, "Don't say it, if you say it, it won't work." "The older Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun are, the more assertive they are, and the vegetables they planted this time were bought directly from the florist.
Wen Xueyi looked at the mysterious appearance of the sister and brother, she smiled and said to Wen Xiuyu: "When we are free, we will help them carry water, and wait for the food by the way." Wen Xiujun gave a thumbs up to Wen Xueyi and said, "Sister is the smartest." Wen Xueyi glanced at him angrily and asked, "You and Xueduo bought vegetables with the money?" Wen Xiujun glanced at Wen Chunyi's expression, and whispered with a smile: "The half-dime silver we asked for from our father." As soon as he exited, he betrayed Wen Chaoqing. Wen Xueyi turned her head to look at Wen Chaoqing, and said to the Jin family with disgust: "Mother, look at Dad, they are so small, they dare to give them two silver and silver." ”
Wen Xueyi and Wen Xiuyu already have a monthly routine according to the rules of Wenfu, and Wen Chunyi will not have a monthly routine until the New Year. Kim looked at her and laughed, and said, "Your father is here, you tell him directly." Wen Chaoqing touched her head and smiled under the eyes of her eldest daughter: "Xueduo and Jun'er told me that they wanted to find a gardener to help buy vegetable seeds, and I thought they were not using them indiscriminately, so I gave them half a dime of silver." Afterwards, I asked the gardener if he wanted so many flowers. "Wen Chaoqing, the father, is the least imposing father in front of his daughter. However, in front of his sons, he used to scare them with a rack.
Wen Xiuyu glanced at Wen Chaoqing, who was smiling, and he shook his head lightly, his father was probably the most kind father among the six brothers in Wenfu. Wen Xiuyu poked her younger sibling's forehead with her finger and said, "At a young age, being so assertive is not a good thing, and it is easy to get into trouble." This will not work in the future, and before you do something, you must at least discuss and act with your family. If you don't succeed in planting the vegetables this time, you will ruin half a dime of silver at once. Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun looked at Wen Xiuyu who was a little adult, and the two of them nodded hurriedly, Wen Xiuyu loved the two of them more than Wen Chaoqing.
Wen Chunyi gently tugged Wen Xiuyu's hand and explained: "Brother, we asked Uncle Gardener, we can grow autumn vegetables now, so that there will be no vegetables to eat in winter." If you plant winter vegetables now, it will take a little longer, but now there are more leafy vegetables outside, and they are sold cheaply. When we think about it, leafy vegetables are expensive in winter, so we want to grow vegetables that can be eaten and put in winter. We planted several things, and Brother Jun and I couldn't tell what kind of vegetables were planted in that vegetable field, anyway, when the weather was cold, the vegetables would grow slowly, and we would have several vegetables at home in winter. ”
Wen Chunyi felt that the things in people's bones could not be erased no matter what. In her previous life, she was not a complete self-interested person, but a pragmatic person. In this life, she is still like this, she does not have a scholarly woman, the kind of spring and snow in her bones, when she acts, she always thinks about how to be economical and practical. Fortunately, she is Wen Chaoqing's daughter, and the people in Wenfu think that she is the most like Wen Chaoqing in her bones, and they all like this kind of vulgar thing. Wen Chunyi planted vegetables, not because she loved the land so much, but from the economic interests of the four houses, she felt that it was better to plant flowers in the open space than to grow vegetables.
