Chapter Seventy-Nine
Wen Xueyi returned home with her younger siblings, and Wen Chaoqing sat in the room alone with a solemn expression, her face full of contemplation. After Kim became pregnant, her pursuit of cooking skills reached a new level. She is now punctual every day, going to the kitchen to cook carefully. Wen Chunyi thinks that the younger brother or sister who is about to come, the family is the most diligent of the brothers and sisters.
Wen Chaoqing looked at the four children, he pointed to the pile of food on the table, and said, "You eat snacks first to fill your stomach." After a while, Jun'er stayed to read and write, and the three of you went to the kitchen to help your mother. "Wen Chaoqing is much more open-minded than the Jin family in dealing with his children, and he treats Wen Xiuyu's son and his two daughters the same in many ways. The four-room siblings of the Wen family are closer than the other siblings, which has a significant relationship with their parents' attitude towards them. Wen Chunyi used to be the person Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family paid the most attention to, and it did not arouse the jealousy of the two brothers and sisters towards her, which was related to the fact that the couple could still hold a bowl of water in front of them.
Wen Xueyi took her younger siblings to the kitchen to do things, and Wen Xiujun looked at the three of them with an envious expression. Wen Chaoqing had already opened the booklet and motioned for him to come forward and read it. In the kitchen, Kim and her two servants began to prepare for their work, and when she saw her three children coming, she immediately beckoned them to come over and do their work. Wen Xueyi followed the Jin family, Wen Xiuyu went to carry the firewood, Wen Chunyi went to light the fire, and the two servants were responsible for washing. The kitchen was bustling with business, and after a while, the smell of food came out. Wen Chaoqing took Wen Xiujun to serve the food, and the two servant women cleverly avoided the kitchen, and the family interacted closely.
After the meal. The four children did not leave, they waited to hear Chaoqing talk about things outside. Wen Chaoqing may be because of his own experience, he will never refuse the initiative of his four children to get close to him, even if he sometimes feels ashamed. Wen Chaoqing swept the Jin family sitting beside him, and then looked at the eyes of the four children who were seeking knowledge, and he whispered: "What Dad said to you in the room, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone outside, that will cause Dad to not be able to return home." The four children immediately turned upright, and each of them immediately accepted it, and would never talk to outsiders.
Wen Chaoqing is actually very relieved about the sensibility of his four children. Two older children. I can get along well with my brothers and sisters in the house, because the two of them never talk much and don't get involved in other rooms. And the two little children look like they are both active. It's just the scope of the two moving around. None of them exceeded the four-room range. They seem to have been born with the understanding that it is better to get into trouble at home than to go out of trouble. Wen Chaoqing whispered: "There is a wind outside, say, up." I heard that I haven't been in good health recently, and I'm about to make a prince. ”
The four children, except for Wen Xiujun, who didn't understand the deep meaning of Wen Chaoqing's words, the other three all understood the meaning of those words. Wen Xueyi reacted immediately, she approached Wen Chaoqing and whispered, "Grandfather has been indifferent for many years, and he only has a false name. The uncles and uncles are not power-heavy people, and the people in our house usually have no close contact with the princes. As long as the family is safe at this time, they can keep safe. Dad, you said I thought so, right? Wen Chunyi heard Wen Xueyi's words, she looked at her with admiration, such a young woman, she could immediately analyze the key points behind Wen Chaoqing's words.
Wen Chaoqing looked at Wen Xueyi with a relieved expression, he nodded lightly and said, "Your uncle has already told me, you have to deal with the chores in your hands quickly recently, and in a few days, the weather will be cold, so I won't go out, walk around the city and get cold." Wen Chunyi's eyes sank, which meant that the body of the top one was indeed inappropriate. At such a time, one wrong step is the time of the family. Wen Chunyi nests in the fourth room every day, and the world outside is explained by Wen Chaoqing and his brothers and sisters. And although Wen Chaoqing said that he would talk to his children about things outside, after all, he was not an official person, and he could only understand some superficial things.
Jin's face changed, she suddenly stood up and went outside, and the people in the room heard her say to the servant: "I have some threads in my hand, and my body is inconvenient, you go alone, go and ask Qingxun's shopkeeper lady, when will you bring the thread to see me?" Immediately, a servant woman laughed and said, "Madam, such a trivial matter, I will go out now, but if there is anything to buy, I will bring it back by the way." As if he had just wanted to do something, Jin said: "Then bring some rice noodles back, the weather is too cold, and there are few people who can use our house, so we don't have to rush out to buy it." ”
The relationship between the master and servant in the four rooms is the loosest, Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family are both people who have no shelf, and the servants talk to them, using the word 'I' to go to the word 'I', and these two will never pick out things to say. When the servant woman heard what Kim said, she remembered the same thing, and said, "Madam, I will ask someone to bring firewood a few more times, and if it snows too much in a few days, this firewood will be worth one price a day." Anyway, there is a lot of open space in the yard, and if you pile some more, you can't really use it, but you can use it after spring. Well, madam, don't be afraid that the snow will soak into it and destroy the firewood. When we get there, we will find some hay to cover it, and it will never break the firewood.
That's what my mother did, and the family took advantage of the bargain early to buy firewood for half of the yard. The people in the room listened to the words of the servant, and knew that the Jin family would definitely nod and agree. Wen Chaoqing's eyes were full of smiles, he didn't feel that the servant woman spoke like this, there was any intention to commit a crime, he only felt that the servant woman in his room was really loyal. Wen Xueyi frowned, and there was not much to say, her father and mother had already decided on her temperament. Fortunately, the servants in the fourth room are loyal and honest and do not have crooked eyes. Wen Xiuyu doesn't care about these things, he only cares about the big thing of whether he can go out of the house to study at the academy after the New Year.
Wen Xiuyu opened her mouth and said, "Dad, has it been decided that I will go to the city academy to study that year?" Wen Chaoqing looked at this son, Wen Xiuyu was quite good at reading, and she was also good at self-reliance. Every few years, Wenfu will ask the husband to teach his children and grandchildren. The former gentleman, by this time, had already been itching to run for his own fame. And the newly invited gentleman who bothered to have the same idea as his predecessors, while laying a good foundation for the young masters of Wenfu, he did not delay his own future. The young masters of Wenfu, when they become adults, all need to go to the city academy for further study.
Generally speaking, the young masters in the house can pass the interview level of the academy, as for how long they will study in the academy, it depends on their talent and ability. After Wen Chaoqing was twelve years old, he also studied in the city academy for two years. It's just that when he was progressing academically, the old aunt was even more tossed in the house, thinking that she had a promising son, and after she went too far, together with Mrs. Wen, she was worried about what would happen after Wen Chaoqing completed her studies. It just so happened that Wen Chaohong was famous at that time, and Wen Zhaohui and Wen Chaolei seemed to have made more progress than Chaoqing in their studies. There was no one to take care of the housework, and Mrs. Wen asked Wen Chaoqing's mind, so she asked someone to teach him to take care of the housework.
Wen Chaoqing glanced at his son, he was a person who was sincerely interested in learning. Unlike him, he only felt that going to school at that time was a way to survive. Later, when the old lady gave him another way to choose, he chose the road of general affairs without hesitation, he liked the things in his hand, and he could feel the sense of steadiness. At Wen Xiuyu's age, it was not the time to go to the city academy for further study. It's just that the old lady heard that on a whim, he asked him to follow a few older brothers in the house to meet the gentleman of the city academy, and the brothers passed the test smoothly. Hearing that the old lady was overjoyed, she decided to send him to study to broaden his horizons.
Wen Chaoqing comforted his son, who had a sinking face, and said, "Don't worry, the matter has already been decided." "The gates of the city academy will never be closed at any time. Wen Chunyi didn't have so much thought, and her careful thinking was all used on her own one-acre and three-point vegetable field. The wind and rain outside are sheltered by capable people from Wenfu. What's more, she has already seen through several family affairs in the big house and the second room, as long as the Wenfu is in charge of the big house, there will be no major events that impulsively harm the lives of people in the house. Wen Chaohong and his wife are not shallow-eyed people, even if it is Wen Suyi's family affairs, she is the master, and she has not gone the way.
As long as Wen Suyi doesn't make too much trouble in the Wang family, the Wang family can pressure Wang Sanlang to respect this wife all the time. And Wen Ruiyi's family affair is clearly a match made in heaven, the life of the young couple is beautiful, and I heard that Yang Jiaerlang has made great progress in his studies. And Wen Xiuxuan's family affairs in the second room were almost bad in the hands of Second Mrs. Wen, and later it was the old lady Wen who was in charge, and set a family affair for Wen Xiuxuan as a scholarly woman early. Wen Chunyi felt that the daughter-in-law who married into the big house, with a generous mother-in-law like Mrs. Wen, could live a smooth life.
The woman who waited for the marriage procedure and married into the second room two years later. When she was not married, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already planted the seeds of incompatibility, and she wanted to have a tormented life in the future. Wen Second Lady's mind, the most flexible and changeable person in the past. She manages the big kitchen, and when she feasts in the house, she is the happiest and busiest person. In the past year, Mrs. Wen has understood the meaning of change, she started by neglecting the vegetables in each room, and then neglecting the firewood needed in each room. Second Mrs. Wen's little abacus rang out, but it was a pity that no one in each room came to ask her to be tolerant, but they each thought of something to solve their daily needs.
People are good and easy to be bullied, Mrs. Wen can't help the people in the other room, she remembers to wear small shoes for the fourth room. The months when Wen Chaoqing stopped the month were her happiest days. It's just that on that day, no one in the four rooms begged to come to the door, which made her sulk in vain, and she complained about Wen Chunyi's sister and brother again and again in front of Wen Zhaohui, saying that this pair of sisters and brothers had ruined the name of the scholarly children and loved to do the farmer's business. No matter how Wen Zhaohui looks at Wen Chaoqing, he won't care about the small things of his two little nieces and nephews. He only felt that Second Mrs. Wen was too bored, she didn't care about her business, and she was talking nonsense all day long.
Wen Zhaohui heard too much of this kind of gossip, and he couldn't tolerate it and would open his mouth to rebound, but as a result, the husband and wife had a big quarrel, and the hatred of Wen Chunyi by the second lady Wen rose to a new height. Wen Chunyi lived a comfortable life in the fourth room, and the second lady Wen chased after her several times, and after the fourth room opened independently, Jin's waist straightened up. She will not keep her daughter and face the lady's eye knife for nothing, but in front of Mrs. Wen, she will send her daughter to wait for the vegetable field. (To be continued......)
