Wen Chunyi turned a corner to unravel the entanglement of Mrs. Liu, and the relationship between the two families went further, when the children of the Liu family came to play in the Zhong Mansion, when they faced Wen Chunyi, their faces were less jerky. Wen Chunyi was quite speechless when he named Mrs. Liu and her husband, the eldest son's name was Liu Xiaodi, and the second son's name was Liu Dadi.

The name of Mrs. Liu's daughter is still quite normal to call Liu Mei. Although the little woman's eyebrows and eyes are not opened, her facial features are neatly born, and she will be a beautiful woman in the future. Recently, Liu Mei was most happy to come to Wen Chunyi's house with Mrs. Liu to do needlework, and by the way, she learned to play with Wen Chunyi. Wen Chunyi looked at her young age, and she was very sensible. Wen Chunyi persuaded Mrs. Liu to let her daughter follow Liu Xiaodi, who had been in school for several years, to learn to read and paint, and Mrs. Liu said to her with a disapproving look: "The boss went to the school to study, we spent a sum of money on the boss, but we can't let him teach his sister to read and write and waste time."

Their brother is a man, and he can test his fame by studying more. Meiniu is a daughter's family, as long as the needlework can survive, those things are all virtual, and people like us can't use them. "Not to mention that people in this era are patriarchal, but in the future era, there will be the same prejudice. Wen Chunyi did not persuade any further, but instead mentioned the interesting story she got along with her brother when she was a child, saying that her brother was busy with his studies at that time, and he often had to spend effort to guide her to read and write. After an elder learned about it, he also warned his brother not to spend his efforts on his younger sister, anyway, she would go to school in the future.

Wen Chunyi said with a yearning look: "My brother replied to the elders like this back then, reading a hundred times, and his righteousness is self-evident. He just took advantage of the opportunity to teach me to read and write, and once again I learned something new. And while teaching me this girl, he also made progress in his homework. Lady Liu's face was slightly touched, but Wen Chunyi didn't talk to her anymore, she turned the conversation to the things around her, and said with a smile: "The vegetables in my old yard can be picked in a few days, and when the time comes, I will call you, and we will go and pick some together to taste the taste." ”

Woman Liu looked at Wen Chunyi's expression, and after hesitating for a long time, she said, "There is a woman near my mother's house, about ten years older than me. She has a good family background, and she is smart and cute since she was a child, and the brothers in the family love her very much, so they think that women are literate and reasonable, and they teach her to read and write, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, anyway, the brothers will do it, and she learned it later. Later, when she reached the age of marriage, the family was selected by her, but she couldn't choose the right person, she just looked at a talented man with a little bit of talent, but that talented man already had a wife and son in the family, and she still had to come to the door as a concubine. ”

"Ah" Wen Chunyi's mouth opened slightly, and asked, "What happened later?" Lady Liu sighed and said, "How many daughters of good families are willing to be concubines?" Her family was naturally opposed, but she insisted on believing that only that person understood her best, and that she was willing to suffer some grievances for that person's reputation. And the wife of the talented man, under her persistent request, also agreed to come down and was willing to have two maids. Wen Chunyi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Such a delicate beauty, such a fiery affection, I'm afraid that if she doesn't agree, she can't stop the man who has already been tempted and lustful." ”

Woman Liu smiled abruptly, she nodded and said, "After the governor, Fang understood the inside story and understood the last resort of the wife. It's a pity that I was already following my brothers to read and write, but after my parents learned about the woman, they prevented my brothers from teaching me to read and write, thinking that if the woman was illiterate, she would be a human duty. The elders all felt that the reason why the woman was like this was that she knew too much, so she could have such a high heart, and ordinary people couldn't enter her heart. Many years ago, this woman's brother took his family into his post to live, and not long ago, I heard that her family came back to deal with the relocation of the ancestral house and ancestral hall. ”

Mrs. Liu casually said what happened to the woman, the first few years after the woman entered the door, the talent treated her well, the wife and concubine got along well, she never had children, and the wife had two sons in a row. It's just that after the first few years have passed, the talented man whose reputation has gradually faded has met a new confidante, because of the past, his wife quickly agreed to welcome this woman this time. The wife was relieved that her husband had met a bosom friend again, but the woman couldn't accept this bleak process, but she talked to his wife, who had always gotten along well, only to laugh at her sarcastically and look at her silently.

When the woman was in trouble, she had returned home, but her family had already moved away from her ancestral land, and she only came back to meet the friends she had been with when she was a teenager, and everyone knew about her experience at her husband's house. It's a pity that no one knows where her family went, and even if she knew where her family was, she couldn't turn back. Later, no one heard from her, but the talented man was getting older, but his mind was more flowery, and he welcomed a few concubines into the house. Wen Chunyi sighed after hearing this, and said: "The path you choose, you can only bear the consequences." ”

Wen Chunyi understood where Mrs. Liu's heart was, and she thought deeply, and said with a wry smile after listening to her: "This time, before her father went out, she specially told me that he felt that women still had to be literate, at least when they came to the age of marriage, they would have more choices in family affairs. Sometimes I want to be like her father said, let her read and learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think you have a point, but I can't say anything as long as I think of the woman's end. Wen Chunyi looked at her tangled brows, and then thought that since Liu Zhu was willing to give up a stable life, he would go there with Zhong Chichun.

That is a person who has ambition and knows how to seize opportunities. Wen Chunyi gently reminded: "The sister-in-law of the Liu family, the young lady of the official family, few of them are illiterate. If Liu Ye does a good job on this errand, he will definitely have a chance to improve. Your house will be different from what it is now, and there will be more people with whom you will come and go in the future. "Mrs. Liu has always been an understanding person, she is just a mother, and she cares too much about it to be so entangled and unable to relax. Wen Chunyi had no intention of talking to her about this aspect, some things are just things that come naturally.

The war is now more intense, and there are more displaced people outside the city, and there is obviously more chaos outside the city than before. The magistrate has ordered that all the displaced people be kept out of the city, and the government will cook porridge to support them. R1152
