Chapter Forty-Eight: Wandering
The darker it gets, the more the wind and snow rush by. Wen Chaoqing listened to the sound of the wind and snow outside, looked at the four children sitting on the square couch, and listened to them laugh for a while, and the corners of his mouth followed with a smile. He said to the Kim family: "You listen to the sound of the wind and snow outside, and tomorrow morning call someone to listen to the arrangements of the sister-in-law." If you still don't change your itinerary, put on thick clothes for the two children and go out. ”
Jin listened to the sound of the wind and snow outside for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "Master, it sounds like the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and in this kind of weather, you should pay attention everywhere when you go out." However, it should be appropriate to have a sister-in-law walking with them. Wen Chaoqing listened to her reassuring words, and the tail of her eyebrows moved closely. Mrs. Wen has changed too much in recent days, and he is a little afraid to believe her as before. Wen Chaohong also mentioned to him in a worried mood in private that Mrs. Wen seems to have changed her personality recently, and she treats him a lot colder, and she doesn't care about her concubines and concubines as much as before, but asks her aunt to discipline the children herself.
If Wen Chaoqing hadn't looked at Wen Chaohong's straight face when he spoke, he would have thought that their husband and wife had a dispute over the concubine room again. Wen Chaoqing gasped, Mrs. Wen's situation sounded like a man who had changed his mind. Mrs. Wen has always held the right to be the head of the inner house, and even when she was sick, she never really let go. Now she is so easy to hand over some rights in her hands, at first, the people in the first house thought that she wanted to test and calculate the second lady Wen and the fifth lady, until each room according to the second lady Wen's meaning, each has its own small kitchen, everyone began to believe that Mrs. Wen let go.
Wen Chaohong faced the changed Mrs. Wen, and his heart was still a little uneasy. After all, it has been a husband and wife for many years, and he is worried that her health is not good, so he will make the following arrangements, so he specially went to interrogate the doctor who asked for peace in the house, and after knowing that Mrs. Wen only has the small problems of ordinary women, he is even more puzzled, why Mrs. Wen will do such a foolish thing of letting go of power before the eldest daughter-in-law has not started. Wen Chaohong couldn't communicate with others, so he could only mutter a few words in front of Wen Chaoqing, anyway, although this younger brother would not comfort people, he would never talk nonsense.
Wen Chaoqing thought for a while and reminded the Jin family: "Sister-in-law is different now than before. Jin raised her eyes and looked at him with a puzzled face, she couldn't think of any difference between Mrs. Wen and before, in her eyes, Mrs. Wen was a normal person like this. Wen Chaoqing saw the incomprehensible expression on the Jin family's face, he sighed secretly, and said in a low voice: "Think about it, my sister-in-law used to be such a shrewd person, presiding over the affairs of the mansion, and being able to socialize in the mansion leisurely. It stands to reason that she will choose to hand over part of the affairs in her hands to the eldest daughter-in-law after Xiuhua gets married.
It can be like now, the newcomer has not entered the door, and she has begun to divide the power in her hands. After hearing this, Jin carefully looked at Wen Chaoqing's expression, she thought about it and said: "Master, I think it is my sister-in-law who has figured out some things, she has been busy for so many years, and the husband and wife are becoming more and more unfamiliar. Xiuhua and they have grown up, she can finally let go of her hand, she wants to live some easy days. She probably felt sorry for her daughter-in-law who was about to enter the door, and didn't want her to follow her own old path, so she did such a thing.
The mansion is still in the hands of the sister-in-law, she doesn't need to come forward to take care of those miscellaneous things directly, she is much more leisurely. Besides, in addition to the big kitchen, which is more special, the sewing room and the warehouse are all bottom sheets that can be checked, and there will be no major problems in anyone's hands. Jin didn't want to talk about the latter words, she felt that Mrs. Wen had been busy for so many years, and it was time for her to stop and rest. It's just that over the years since she got married, she has understood that men and women can never talk about some problems.
Wen Chaoqing looked at Jin dumbly, seeing the obvious approval look in her eyes. Wen Chaoqing thought about Wen Chaohong's bitter face, the first time he saw the eldest brother who had always been confident and proud, his face showed such a tangled expression. Wen Chaoqing sighed softly and said: "The rules of the house have not changed, and it is the same for whoever is in charge." Jin listened to his words, lowered her eyelids, she knew that the wind direction of the Daowen Mansion was gradually changing, and the new eldest daughter-in-law would enter the future, but she was afraid that there would be new trends. It's going to be windy and snowy, and the four rooms only need to have one eaves to cover them.
Wen Chaoqing and Jin said a sentence from time to time, the four children were together, Wen Xiujun suddenly remembered the things in the backyard, and he shouted with Wen Xueyi: "Eldest sister, Xueduo and I are planting vegetables and flowers and herbs in the backyard, what do you and my brother want to plant?" Wen Chunyi followed closely to Wen Xueyi, if she had her support, in Wenfu, this matter would be clear. Wen Xueyi looked at Wen Chunyi and asked, "You two want to grow vegetables in the backyard?" Wen Chunyi nodded silently, Wen Xiuyu frowned slightly and looked at the younger siblings, he couldn't understand how these two people could think of that aspect, looking at the expressions of the two, they could still deal with it as a thing.
Wen Xueyi looked at Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family, and asked directly: "Dad, mother, you Xu Xueduo and Brother Jun are planting vegetables in the backyard?" Wen Chaoqing looked at her sideways, nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the two of them have this intention to grow vegetables, after the beginning of spring, I will ask the little maid to come in and help turn over two pieces of land, if you want to be interested, turn over two more pieces." Jin followed and said: "After the beginning of spring, the florist will come in and plant flowers, but the flowers in the backyard, when will our family really appreciate them." Your sister and brother wanted to grow vegetables, so we gave them permission. If you are the sister, you want to talk about them, they also want to use the flower beds in the back yard to grow vegetables. ”
Wen Xiuyu stretched out her hand to poke Wen Chunyi's face, and said with a smile: "Xueduo, what kind of vegetables do you want to grow?" Wen Chunyi already felt that growing vegetables was not as cost-effective as growing medicine, so she immediately said: "Brother Jun grows vegetables, I want to grow medicine." Wen Chaoqing and Jin looked at her in surprise, this time, she changed her mind to medicine. Jin opened his mouth and said, "Xueduo, do you know what herbs you want to plant?" Wen Chunyi stretched out his hand to Wen Xiuyu and said, "My brother will teach me how to grow medicine." Wen Xiuyu looked at her in a panic and said, "Xueduo, I don't know how to grow medicinal herbs." Wen Chunyi looked at him and said, "I believe in my brother, and my brother reads books and teaches me." ”
Wen Chunyi looked at Wen Xiuyu with a convincing expression, she knew that he couldn't stand this kind of vision the most. Wen Xiuyu immediately looked at Wen Xueyi, stretched out her hand and pulled her and said, "Sister, you help me find a book on planting herbs, I want to teach Xueduo to grow herbs." Wen Xueyi stared at Wen Xiuyu with wide eyes, and whispered: "Xue Duo is young and messing around, and you are also messing around." Wen Chunyi muttered to the two of them, she looked sideways at Wen Chaoqing and said, "Dad, Brother Jun and I want to sleep." Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun have been living in the same room with Wen Chaoqing and his wife, the snow is heavy outside, and the husband and wife are reluctant to have two children, and they sleep on the couch day after day.
Wen Chaoqing consciously came down to move the heavy objects placed on the couch, and Jin spread out the futon piled up in a corner. Wen Chunyi took Wen Xiujun to freshen up, Wen Xueyi and Wen Xiuyu exchanged glances, and the two surrounded Wen Chaoqing and his wife to inquire about the news. Wen Xiuyu asked: "Father, mother, do Xue Duo and Brother Jun have the strength to grow vegetables and herbs?" The two of them can't even read all the words, can they tell the difference between vegetables and grass? Wen Xueyi frowned and said, "Xue Duo and Brother Jun just said that the open space in the backyard is all up to them to grow vegetables and herbs?" ”
Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun turned out, the two of them looked at the expressions of the four people in the room, and the two little people exchanged glances. They have an extremely strong eldest sister, and if she insists on opposing it, the parents will definitely obey her will. Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun have already said that as long as the family says a 'no', he will pounce on Wen Xueyi's thigh and cry. Wen Xueyi looked at her two villains with a cautious expression, she shook her head lightly and said, "Xueduo, Brother Jun, you two go to bed quickly." With one command and one action, Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun sat down on the couch with a pull.
Wen Xueyi looked at the two little people and still stared at herself, she knew that Wen Chunyi would get the most nodding and shaking her head, she asked Wen Xiujun directly: "Brother Jun, what do you have to say to me?" Wen Xiujun glanced at Wen Chunyi and said, "Sister, Xueduo and I want to grow vegetables and herbs, and my father and brother can read and write, so they can teach the two of us to grow vegetables and herbs." He casually pulled Wen Chaoqing and Wen Xiuyu to attack, and those two loved their children and had already agreed. The other is a good brother who thinks he is rare in the world, and will never open his mouth to refuse the requests of his younger siblings.
Wen Xueyi looked at the two villains and asked, "You haven't changed your mind?" Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun nodded at the same time, Wen Xueyi waved her hand at the two of them and said, "Sister promised you to grow vegetables and herbs, but this matter has to be done slowly, and you can't be in a hurry all of a sudden." Wen Chunyi looked up at her a little anxiously, what is going to be planted at the beginning of spring, can you not be in a hurry? Wen Xueyi glanced at her, and said slowly: "These are the two most inappropriate things in our mansion, and I think in the mansion of people like us, it is also something that cannot be put on the table."
But I heard the grandfather of the chief steward say that many people outside, as long as there is a vacant land in the backyard of their home, they would rather use it to grow vegetables, not like our family is full of beautiful flowers. We had to grow vegetables and herbs in the backyard, and we had to get my grandfather's permission anyway. Wen Chunyi's eyebrows flashed, and Wen Xiujun had already laughed happily and said: "Sister, Xue Duo and I have already agreed that the two of us will plant flowering vegetables and herbs, so that the flowers can be seen, the vegetables can be eaten, and the herbs can be used." I asked my mothers, and they said that when some vegetables bloom, they look just as good. ”
Wen Chunyi pulled Wen Xiujun to sleep with peace of mind, and the rest of the things were done by someone who could take care of them. Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family breathed a sigh of relief, and if Wen Xue wanted to smell the wind in front of the old lady, there would be no opposition in this mansion. The husband and wife glanced at each other, and they would talk to Mr. and Mrs. Wen. The backyard of one's own house is the interest of the children, what to plant, it is not a big deal to think about it, and usually, no one goes to the backyard of other people's houses to wander around.
