Chapter 437: High and Low
After the first snowfall, the snow did not stop for a few more days, but the fine snow continued to fall. This kind of weather, the old people are a little surprised to look at, remembering that decades ago, there was such a weather, in the spring, it was rain. When Fang Chengjia heard the news, he whispered to Wen Chunyi in a hurry.
Wen Chunyi's face turned slightly pale, she had heard of three consecutive years of disasters, which was an era when people were hungry and even ate soil. Fang Chengjia looked at Wen Chunyi's expression, and she hurriedly said on the side: "Miss, don't worry, as long as you survive the recession for one year, the next year will be better." Wen Chunyi listened to her words and breathed a sigh of relief, she was really frightened by the disaster year in the legend of the previous life. She calmed down and whispered to Fang Chengjia, "Where did you inquire about this news?" Fang Chengjia approached her and whispered: "The man of my family met the fourth master yesterday, and the master said that if it is inconvenient for you to prepare food, you will have him." ”
After Wen Chunyi's eyes were hot, her father was so concerned about her after all, and at such a time, he actually did such a dangerous thing for her. She whispered: "I have some silver taels here, you take it to your man, let him hand it over to the fourth master, and listen to the arrangement of the fourth master." And don't act too blindly, and definitely not affect the four masters. Fang Chengjia nodded again and again and said, "Miss, don't worry, my man knows the severity." Now this rumor must not be revealed, otherwise the government will definitely catch the rumor-mongers. ”
Fang Chengjia's reminder made Wen Chunyi immediately dispel the idea of vaguely passing the words to the Jiang family and the Chen family, no matter when. Her father's safety is still the most important thing on her mind. Wen Chunyi had something in her heart, so that in the face of the third lady of the Zhong family's split smile at her, she didn't have any adverse reactions. These days, she had to get used to the contrived smiling face of the third lady of the Zhong family when she faced her, and there were those words that gave her goosebumps. And the Jiang family and the Chen family are also accustomed to the courteous attitude of the third lady of the Zhong family towards this little daughter-in-law, but they will secretly exchange small glances from time to time.
After the fine snow, there was heavy snow, and the old lady and wife of the Zhong family had already instructed their children and grandchildren not to go to ask for peace early, and even on days like the fifteenth day of the new year, there was no need to go to ask for peace as usual. As soon as the attitude of the two old men came out. On the contrary, the children of each house went more diligently. Generally, in order not to worry about the two old people, everyone will go to the courtyard of the two old people at such an hour as noon to take a look at their situation. Later, the eldest man of the Zhong family felt that there were too many people every time, but he shouted for the peace of the two old people. And he commanded it. Each room goes every four days. On other days, it is not allowed to come to the door to disturb the quiet of the elderly.
In the third room of the Zhong family, the third lady of the Zhong family met such a good time. Take advantage of the situation and let the sons and daughters-in-law do their filial piety on their behalf. Wen Chunyi was happy to see the two enlightened old people, and found them to talk interestingly, and they were close to her, and they got along with each other easily and naturally. Every time it was her turn to go to the third room, she didn't retreat once, but the Jiang family and the Chen family sometimes had to rush to greet each other next time because of the small family. The old lady and wife of the Zhong family like to hear Wen Chunyi mention the daily affairs of Mrs. Wen and her children, and Wen Chunyi has been in and out of the big house for so many years, and there are many glorious things to talk about.
It is rare for grandparents and grandchildren to get along well, and Wen Chunyi sometimes feels that the old lady of the Zhong family is husband and wife, but it is more like God deliberately making up for her grandchildren's affection. The longer their ancestors and grandchildren got along, the more they were no longer limited to the affairs of the Wenfu mansion, and the two old men would sometimes tell her about the old things. What they talk about the most is what happened to Zhong Chichun when he was young, how smart and cute Zhong Chichun was at that time, and how happy he was. Wen Chunyi always had to smile slightly and listen to them, this kind of Zhong Chichun sounded more down-to-earth than the child she had seen before.
These days, Zhong Chichun still rests in the study, and every day after dinner, the two will talk a few words leisurely. Wen Chunyi felt that the direction of the topic of the two was still two extremes that were far from each other. But Zhong Chichun can always find the shining point in it every time, and he can especially point out what they have in common. Wen Chunyi couldn't admire his way of expression, so much so that in the end, she was repeatedly persuaded by him to think that the same thing they said would eventually end up in the same place. After Zhong Chichun heard Wen Chunyi's approval, he would go to the study to continue to work hard with peace of mind.
Of course, the two gradually found a suitable way to get along. Fang Chengjia mentioned to Wen Chunyi that Zhong Chichun had given a special thickness to the household this month, and Wen Chunyi took advantage of the situation to add more winter necessities. Wen Chunyi can also see their hope from the eyes of the old lady and wife of the Zhong family, but it is still far away from their desire for the young couple to have children. Zhong Chichun revealed the news to Wen Chunyi, hoping to find an opportunity to release it for a few years after the year. There are still certain benefits to the conversation between the two these days, at least Wen Chunyi found that Zhong Chichun is not an exaggerated person.
On this day, the snow fell a little less, and Zhong Chi Haru came back earlier than usual. He went to greet the old lady of the Zhong family, and they stayed to share dinner. After the meal, Zhong Chichun felt that he would stay and accompany the two old men to drink tea in the evening. The old lady of the Zhong family first talked to him about some government affairs, and then talked to him about personnel relations, and finally mentioned to him the great truth of mentioning the family and everything is prosperous. In short, the old lady of the Zhong family and Zhong Chichun went around the bend in a big circle, and there were some words that he still couldn't speak. He looked at the old lady of the Zhong family a little helplessly, he felt that such a common thing would have to be opened by a woman after all.
The old lady of the Zhong family had been listening to them with a slight smile, and when she saw the old lady Zhong coming over, she immediately straightened up, looked at Zhong Chichun, with an obvious look of embarrassment on her face, and asked: "Chun'er, did you marry in eighteen, and you realized that you didn't care about her as much as you thought before?" Zhong Chichun looked at the old lady of the Zhong family with a puzzled expression and said, "Grandmother, if I don't care about her, why marry her into the family." The old lady of the Zhong family breathed a sigh of relief, she was actually very worried that Zhong Chichun nodded in a daze, so how would she explain to her daughter and in-laws.
Fortunately, Zhong Chichun didn't smell spring in his heart, but his thoughts and practices were different from ordinary people. The old lady of the Zhong family looked at Zhong Chichun with a smile and said, "A few days ago, I looked at you for eighteen dull days, and I thought that you finally saw her human nature clearly, and felt that it was not suitable to live in one place. Now listening to your words, do you have no intention of divorcing your wife in your heart? Zhong Chichun frowned and looked at the old lady of the Zhong family and said, "Grandmother, but what did my mother say in front of you, so that grandmother worried about Chun'er again?" I've always thought very clearly, I'm not a father, and I don't have my father's meticulousness and patience in dealing with people, he can allow my mother to be clingy to his temperament in everything, and I'm worried that I can't do it.
I've been looking at Eighteen, and I think that her temperament, being a wife, is the most suitable person for me. I don't like to marry a wife, I love to stick to me when I have nothing to do. After she got married, no matter what I did, she didn't oppose it too fiercely, and I thought it was a good way to get along. Of course, it would be nice if the two could get closer. The old lady of the Zhong family stared at him, under what circumstances would a woman be indifferent to a man's behavior, that was when she didn't have this man in her heart, and listening to Zhong Chichun's words, he felt that this situation was good.
The old lady of the Zhong family had a faint look of shame on his face, when Zhong Chichun was a child, as long as he was free, he would take this grandson with him to teach, and because he was born smart, he used his mind more deeply. But he didn't think that his grandson was so young and mature in other things, and only in terms of male and female affairs, he was so young and difficult to behave. That man, who has nothing to do, as long as he encounters an opportunity, will quietly observe a woman for more than ten years. If you want to say that this man has no affection for this woman, the old lady of the Zhong family will spit on him directly.
But now that ignorant person, replaced by his own child, he only has a feeling of powerlessness, how to let people teach such things. He was angry with his three sons, and that couple was too responsible to be parents. Fortunately, the Zhong family and the Wen family have a deep affection, so the young couple did not split to the point of splitting, otherwise, I am afraid that the time has come to separate at this time. The old lady of the Zhong family shook her head and looked at Zhong Chichun and said: "Chun'er, you have to insist on marrying your wife back, if you can't give her what she should have, then after thinking about it, for the sake of your mutual good, it is better to let her go and let her find another person who is suitable for her." ”
The drum still needs to be beaten, not to mention that Zhong Chichun is a drum or an unenlightened drum in this regard, if she doesn't beat it, her mind will be difficult to calm down. Zhong Chichun looked at the old lady of the Zhong family with a surprised look on his face and said, "Grandmother, I am getting along well with Eighteen now, and I think she thinks the same way." I really don't think there is anyone else in this world who can tolerate Eighteen's lonely and self-admiring character. Anyway, I didn't think about what I would do for me in the officialdom in the future, relying on her to socialize and socialize, as long as she was willing to do anything, she could do it. ”
The old lady of the Zhong family thought that she couldn't solve Zhong Chichun in this regard, but if she was not careful, she would be taken directly into the ditch by him. And after the old lady of the Zhong family pondered, he thought about it, and in some aspects, he also agreed with Zhong Chichun's actions, he always felt that men have the ability, as long as women are not bad, the road in officialdom will not be difficult and twists and turns. And Wen Chunyi's temperament is not the kind of person who is good at dancing with long sleeves, nor is she the kind of person who must distinguish between high and low people, but she has a particularly rational attitude, treating all people, it is a smiling attitude, such a person will not be harmful to Zhong Chichun, maybe lucky, will make a sincere person because of her.
