Chapter 304: Responsibility
The year has quietly passed. The students of Wenfu, after the beginning of the year, continued to study in the hall, and they all looked the same as before. It's just that because of their filial piety, they still have to wear plain clothes in the school to distinguish them from other students, and at the same time, during the period of keeping the system, they can't go to learn the piano music lessons prepared in the school.
Although Wenfu is a period of filial piety, because the owners of the house stay at home, it seems to be more lively than in previous years. There are many people in the house, and Mrs. Wen took over some housekeeping from Grandma Wen. In the courtyard of the old lady, on a sunny day, there were more people sitting quietly reading books. After Wen Xiujun and Wen Xiujie went to the school to study, Wen Xiuyu spent too many hours during the day, and she also spent time at Mrs. Wen. He is a well-known person, and the old lady Wen took him to read some books intentionally or unintentionally. After Wen Xiuyu returned to the fourth room, he often sighed at the wisdom and profundity of the old lady Wen, and he felt that his grandfather was like a treasure that could not be dug up.
Wen Xiuyu had a lot of insights because of this, he was worried about Wen Chunyi's reading, and listened to her say some books that she had read recently. Wen Xiuyu looked at Wen Chunyi and shook her head lightly after hearing this, and then said with a cautious expression: "Xueduo, you are not young anymore, although you are a little woman, but women must also understand current affairs." You need to read some history books, even some wild historical records, which are relatively realistic. Wen Xiuyu personally selected a few history books for Wen Chunyi to read, and reminded the Jin family: "Mother, my sister's temperament is too cold, she will marry as a daughter-in-law in the future, this kind of temperament is really unacceptable, I am afraid that I will suffer in my husband's family." β
The Jin family heard that Wen Chunyi would suffer in her husband's family in the future, and immediately followed Wen Xiuyu's thoughts. She watched Wen Chunyi read books, and repeatedly told her: "Xueduo, your brother is for your good, you read these books carefully." Wen Xiuyu would check her progress in reading books every day, and Wen Chunyi could only calm down and look at the history books carefully as if she was going to take an exam. The general direction of the course of history is similar. Wen Chunyi always felt that Wen Xiuyu wanted her to read these books, but she was afraid that Shenyi would not be here, after all, she didn't need to participate in the scientific examination. Relatively practical, it is better to let her read more books on the law.
Wen Chunyi told Wen Xiuyu her thoughts. He stared at her with wide eyes, "Xueduo." What do you want to do? Wen Chunyi also stared back with round eyes and said, "Brother, I don't want to do anything." It's just that after reading a few history books, I think I can read some books on the law, at least on some things. It's still usable. Know how to follow the rules. "Wen Chunyi really didn't think much about reality before. She is bent on learning to be a low-key person. When Wen Xiuyu instructed her to read the history books, she suddenly woke up to the idea that if she wanted to marry into an ordinary family. Knowing the law, at least not being deceived.
Wen Xiuyu looked at Wen Chunyi deeply, and thought about taking Wen Chunyi to the backyard for a walk. The brother and sister walked slowly to the backyard, Wen Xiuyu looked back at Wen Chunyi from time to time, and she looked up at the past in confusion. When they arrived at the edge of the vegetable patch, the brother and sister looked at the vegetable patch that had already covered a thin layer of green, and both of them had bright smiles on their faces. After Wen Xiuyu motioned to the girls behind him to stand farther away, he whispered to Wen Chunyi: "Xueduo, when the filial piety period is out, the family will find a family affair for you, if you don't marry at the end of the year, you will marry next spring." β
Wen Chunyi raised her eyes and looked at Wen Xiuyu, she knew that there was such a thing, it was impossible for her to stay at home and not get married. Wen Xiuyu looked at her expression and asked in a low voice: "What kind of family do you want to find, our own brothers and sisters, you say it first, I also have a bottom in my heart." Wen Chunyi knew that Wen Xiuyu was not the kind of pedantic person, and he said this honestly. Wen Chunyi lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "I listen to my father's arrangement." Wen Xiuyu listened to her words, became a little anxious, and whispered: "Xueduo, my brother wants to find a scholar with a good character for you, if you marry, he will definitely be able to pass the scientific examination smoothly." β
Wen Chunyi immediately understood Wen Xiuyu's plan, but she didn't have much joy about his vision. The character of a scholar may not be able to be noble. Wen Chun believes in himself and his family, but he doesn't believe in the fickle human heart in the unknown reality. She shook her head lightly and said, "Brother, I still listen to my father's words, choose an ordinary family, and find a capable person who can read a few words." If you ask me to read history books or something, in fact, in front of readers, it is not of much use. Most people who read books like people with a warm nephrite temperament, but my temperament is not soft enough, so I don't enjoy that kind of blessing. β
The more Wen Chunyi understands the customs of this era, the less extravagant she has for the future. Like Wen Chaoqing and Jin, she feels that the ordinary happiness in ordinary people's homes is the happiness she wants to pursue. Wen Xiuyu had a faint disappointment on his face, and he reminded: "Xueduo, the rights and wrongs of ordinary people's families will not be less than those who abide by the rules. I heard that there are a lot of disputes between concubines and concubines. Wen Chunyi's eyebrows softened, and she said with a smile: "It's not bad to do it directly, it's better than those who calculate secretly." There are also those crooked ways in the hearts of readers, and I can't socialize either. β
Wen Xiuyu saw that Wen Chunyi was clearly willing to arrange with Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family, and he whispered: "When Brother Lobby was looking for the Lin family for you back then, you never objected. Wen Chunyi sighed secretly in his heart, and said bluntly: "The family matter that the eldest brother is looking for me, no one has asked my opinion in advance, and everyone thinks it is a good family matter." Anyway, marrying someone is such a thing, you have to marry anyone, and marrying someone who everyone in your family thinks is good, you can't go wrong. "Wen Chunyi didn't think that everyone would lose their eyes to a love saint.
Wen Xiuyu and Wen Chunyi are two brothers and sisters, no one can convince anyone, and in the end, the brothers and sisters can only stop fighting, anyway, there is still a long time before the day of filial piety. What's more, what the elders will do in the future is not something that the two juniors can solve casually. Wen Chaoqing and Jin's status in the mansion, with Wen Xiuyu's appearance, has slightly improved compared to before, but it has not reached the head of Cheng DΓΉ. Especially because of Wen Xiuyu's matter, Wen Chunyi's plans for family affairs, I am afraid that it will drag on for some days. Wen Chunyi felt that there were some things that needed to be done slowly, and maybe it could be as she wanted.
In the six rooms of Wenfu, the big room is the most lively, the sons have all married, the grandchildren also have ten people, and the people in the first room are idle in the yard. Wenfu's school and home school are about to start after the filial piety period, and Wenda's young grandmother can only explicitly indicate that the eldest son will bring his younger brothers to the fourth room, and also hint that he wants to avoid other younger brothers in the family. There were these four children who came to the fourth room, Wen Xiuyu took the two eldest nephews to read at the old lady Wen, and the two younger ones were directly handed over to Wen Chunyi to manage. Kim looked at his two nieces and nephews with joy, and the smell of snacks wafted from the kitchen from time to time.
Wen Chaohong and his wife don't have to worry about their children now, and their leisure is used on their grandchildren. The husband and wife have always been able to talk to each other, and over the years, Wen Chaohong's mind has never been used on women, and the relationship between husband and wife has eased a lot. Wen Chaohong and Mrs. Wen sat idly in the room, he looked at the affairs on Mrs. Wen's table, shook his head and said, "Daughter-in-law Xiuhua is in charge of the house well, do you need to take over?" Mrs. Wen raised her eyes and looked at him, and said: "The elders in the house are all there, and there is always something inconsiderate about her junior. β
While the husband and wife were talking, Wen Chaohong whispered to Mrs. Wen: "The fourth brother told me that I always have to find someone who can handle the affairs of the house. Who do you think can take over the affairs of the fourth child? Mrs. Wen shook her head lightly and said, "I'm afraid that no one will be able to take over the matter in the hands of the fourth child." The fourth child is a solid-eyed person, with a fourth brother and sister who does not calculate small profits, so that he can take care of the affairs so neatly. Originally, I was optimistic about the third child, and he didn't have much ambition for officialdom, so it was better to wait until he was old and go back to the house to take care of the affairs of the house.
It's a pity that the third daughter-in-law is too angry and only stares at the ground in front of her. I am afraid that if he takes over the affairs of the house, his brother will be prone to trouble in the future. And Bo'er's temperament, that's the person who does such things. Master, anyway, my father saw that he was in good shape, so the fourth brother continued to take care of things. What's more, the Yu'er brothers will have a good time when they see it, and our mansion will not treat them poorly, and the four rooms will not have different intentions. When one day, the fourth room will be divided into separate houses, and the fourth child can be kept to take a look, just to see who of the grandchildren is willing to take care of this matter. Wen Chaohong was somewhat relieved, Wen Da Shao's grandmother Wang Zizi, she is still young, and she can continue to give birth.
Wen Chaohong breathed a sigh of relief, after he ran with Wen Chaoqing several times, he felt that the management of general affairs still had to be taken care of by a special person. Wen Chaohong discussed with Mrs. Wen in a low voice and said: "Eighteen has nothing to do with the Lin family, I always feel sorry for Eighteen when I look at Hua'er." Do you have any success in your heart, the family affairs of eighteen, you still can't go on wrong. Mrs. Wen thought about it and said: "There is nothing wrong with the fourth brother and sister, and Eighteen is also a person who knows what is good and bad, but Hua'er himself is unhappy, and he thinks that he does not know people clearly and mistakes Eighteen's family affairs."
The fourth brother and sister mentioned to me a long time ago that they wanted to find an ordinary family for the eighteenth. After Hua'er heard about it, she was moved to find a suitable family for Eighteen. Alas, I saw that Brother Yu'er probably thought the same way, and I didn't want to be wronged. This family business is not successful, and when it comes out of the filial piety period, it is to visit people's homes, I and my mother's family have heard the rumors, as long as the man has a good character, the family background is a little worse, with the temperament of the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister, it will definitely get along with the family. Wen Chaohong nodded, and he said, "The master of the Lin family has almost ruined it for the sake of women."
Because of his daughter's unruly behavior, his face was gloomy, and he resigned from the school in the summer, saying that the husband and wife went to join their eldest son in a foreign country. "Mrs. Wen didn't have a good impression of the people of the Lin family and related things when she mentioned it, and she felt that she was not the one who was in charge, including the eldest young master of the Lin family.
