Chapter Eighty-Nine: Song
The strife in the court, the blood-stained society, on the day of this New Year's Day, all seem so far away. Only the close contact of relatives and friends is so close. Mrs. Wen spoke again to Wen Chunyi to be grounded, but the dynasties have changed, and now Wenfu is no longer the Wenfu she holds in the palm of her hand.
Old lady Wen listened to the disturbance in the hall, and that night, he sneered at Wen Chaohong, who came to comfort him, and said, "Your mother is only thinking about her mother's family in her eyes now, but she has forgotten the faces of the three of you brothers. Fortunately, although Wen is eighteen years old, he has always been a slippery man who refuses to suffer. Otherwise, when I hear Miss Mansion's face, I will call the people of Xu Mansion in vain. "Xu Fu was too restless a while ago, and it has fallen into the eyes of the people above. Wen Lao Lao sent someone to make it clear, and after Wen Chaohong went in person, the people of the Xu Mansion calmed down again.
Wen Chaohong was angry at his uncle's family's self-righteous sour and rotten books, and he also had a sense of powerlessness. It's just that Wenfu and Xu Mansion are too deeply involved, at least in his generation, they can't break the relationship between the two families, so they can only pay more attention to the movements of Xu Mansion from time to time. The old lady sighed lightly and said, "What a wise person your grandfather is, but it's a pity that the descendants are so useless, all the effort is spent on the smooth surface, and the inside is a bag of dregs." Chaohong, Wenfu will be handed over to you, I don't want the reputation of Wenfu, as long as future generations can continue safely. Back then, your grandfather asked me to do that, and I did. Now, I ask you the same, and I hope you do the same. ”
This is like explaining the future, which made Wen Chaohong's face change. Hearing the look on his face, the old lady felt a lot more comforted. smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, I haven't reached the time to go yet." Your grandfather told me this early on. I told you this early, and I was afraid that when the day came, it would be too late to arrange, so it would be better to explain to you as soon as possible. Now that I have peace of mind, I can live for a few more years, I want to see the growth of my grandchildren, and there are a few more grandchildren in the house, and the road in the future can go on steadily. ”
Wen Chaohong's heart stabilized. There is an old father at home. His life was so good. Wen Chaohong cautiously mentioned: "Father, about the eighteenth ground? Old lady Wen raised her eyes and looked at him and said, "That little woman looks less and less like her old aunt now." It's just the kind of tendon who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. Rather, it's a little more like. Fortunately, she acted reasonably. It's not like her old aunt's blind nonsense. The people in our house are too safe, except for the pair of sisters and brothers. Everyone else is a housekeeper.
If something big happens, only such a person can find a way out of danger. Your mother is no longer at home, and your daughter-in-law is still in charge of the affairs of this inner house. After Mrs. Wen fell out with Mrs. Wen, she still respected each other in front of everyone. Wen Chaohong didn't want his parents to be so angry that they couldn't even maintain peace on the face because of this incident. He remembered that Mrs. Wen sometimes showed that boring expression, and he whispered: "Mother is the grandmother of Little Eighteen, although she is a little stricter, it is also the concern of the elders for the younger generations.
Xiao Eighteen is a woman, with such a temperament, while she is still young, she can still polish it well. Besides, Xiao Eighteen is also a person who doesn't like to go out of the four-room courtyard door on weekdays, and this time she will be grounded for a few more days, which is not a big deal for her. After Wen Chaohong said this, he consciously lowered his head, waiting for the old lady Wen to reprimand him. Old lady Wen shook his head lightly and said, "You are a filial son, and I am worried that your mother will lose face in this matter." This time, forget it, but you have to remind your mother not to have it again, after all, the surname of Wenfu is Wen, and she did not follow her surname Xu. ”
Wen Chaohong breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his eyes and looked at the old lady Wen and said, "Father, in fact, my mother listens to your advice, as long as you open your mouth to tell her well, she should not answer at that time, and she will accept it in the future." Old lady Wen looked at Wen Chaohong and shook his head lightly and said, "There are some things, once you miss it, you will never be able to raise that interest." Your mother has paid a lot for Wenfu, but every woman has gone through her life like this. She felt that I was sorry for her, but why didn't she think about the many women around me, but the people she personally arranged for her, even the old aunt, were carefully arranged by her.
She calculates too much, and calculates people's hearts together. Why did I allow my old aunt to approach me, because that person has all the calculations on his face, even if he doesn't want a son, he just wants to pester me to live a comfortable life, and this kind of hidden mind has never hidden from me. You are also a man, do you think about how you got along with your husband and wife back then, and how you get along now? Wen Chaohong fell silent, when Mrs. Wen was pregnant for the first time, Mrs. Wen sent her most useful girl to serve him. Later, when Mrs. Wen was pregnant for the second time, Mrs. Wen sent the girl around her to serve him again.
Now Wen Xiuhua's wife is a few months pregnant, and she has never arranged for someone else to serve, and Mrs. Wen seems to be unknown, and the couple does their own thing. Wen Chaohong reminded Mrs. Wen of this matter, and she had a cold look in her eyes, and heard her say coldly: "The old family is suffering and suffering and is pregnant with a child, and the eldest is enjoying the service of women at this time, and he wants to get a father's name in the future." You have to arrange it as a family, you arrange it yourself, and I will never let my own sins be borne by the old family again. Wen Chaohong felt that Mrs. Wen's resentment towards him was so deep, no wonder she was always silent when the two were alone.
Wen Chaohong's heart ached, and the old lady Wen was right, some things, once you miss them, you can't do them again. Old lady Wen looked at the look on Wen Chaohong's face, he smiled slightly and said, "There are some things, if you are willing to turn back, you still have time to turn back." Xiuhua's mother is not so utilitarian, and his uncle's family looks at many people who are promising. Your mother and I have been wrong again and again, and we are both at fault. On your side, you're too wrong. The six of you, look around, the fourth husband and wife have the best relationship, and the children should also be smart and capable.
The second child has no good wife in the family, and he has not been able to stand up in officialdom all these years. The third child has the same problem as him, marrying the wife of his concubine, but he makes people look down on his identity as a concubine. The fifth child is still young, and your mother dotes on him too much to withstand any major events, so let him stay in the academy. The sixth is a heartbroken person, and he would rather wander outside and never return, so let him go. I hope that when he is willing to come back, I will be alive and well. "The court disputes disturbed people's hearts, and the prince was finally decided a year ago. Old lady Wen was secretly taken into the palace, and after he came back, when Wen Chaohong was obviously different, the affairs of the family really began to let go.
In the courtyard of the fourth room, there was only one candle lit, and Wen Chaoqing sat alone in the room, with a gloomy expression on his face. Jin woke up yesterday, put on a piece of clothes and walked out, looked at the look on Wen Chaoqing's face, she sighed secretly in her heart, Wen Chaoqing is good in everything, only this sullen temper makes you unbearable. Jin pulled Wen Chaoqing and said: "Xue Duo doesn't care about other people's gossip, you are a father, do you need to be entangled?" Anyway, we didn't say it early on that in the future, she would marry into a low door, so that she would not have to suffer filth with a bunch of women. ”
Wen Chaoqing sighed lightly after hearing this, and probably said: "It's okay, we don't need to grind her temperament, she has such a temperament, living in an ordinary person's home, but can afford a family." "Jin didn't think that Wen Chunyi had such an inappropriate temperament, at least his daughter was reasonable, and she got along with her brothers, sisters and brothers at home, and she was never a person who would fight over her strengths and weaknesses, and she looked at her as a generous person. What's more, Wen Chunyi is right, anyway, in the eyes of Mrs. Wen, she has never looked at the person in the fourth room, let alone looked at her, she is as beautiful as a flower, and in the eyes of Mrs. Wen, she is also a shit-like existence.
Jin sometimes can't stand Wen Chunyi's rough words when she is angry, but she sees her talking on weekdays, revealing a sense of elegance, so she lets her go. Jin thought about it and laughed, so he told Wen Chaoqing what he said, and said with a smile: "Xue Duo is still locked up at home, and when I go back to the street, I can learn a few rough words and come back." Wen Chaoqing smiled slightly and said, "You still have to take her out more, whether it is a big family or a small family, when something happens, they are a little afraid of arrogant women." Xue Yi is a person who will secretly fight to win or lose. Xueduo's temperament can only be seen clearly. The two daughters will not be able to suffer losses in the future, and they can rest assured that they will be parents. ”
Wen Chaoqing's knot, which had been stuffy for a long time, was loosened at once, and he pulled Jin into the room to sleep. After a night of snowstorms, the snow stopped the next day, and early in the morning, Wen Xinyi came to the door with a shy look on her face, and saw that the Jin family was alone in the room, her expression softened, and said: "Fourth aunt, my eldest sister-in-law has a body, so I said that I came to talk to the fourth aunt." My mother asked me to come and talk to my aunt and sisters. Mother said that grandmothers are elders, and we should be more or less obedient as younger generations. The weather outside is still cold, so it's good to let Sister Chunyi stay at home to avoid the cold wind for some days. I, as long as there are no guests in the house, I will come over to teach Sister Chunyi embroidery."
Jin looked at the honest Wen Xinyi, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, your Chunyi sister won't go out of the yard these days, she also loves to nest at home, she told me yesterday that she has a lot of things, so she doesn't want to go out of the pestle to be a pestle, and the pestle is there to greet guests." Wen Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, she looked around and asked, "What about the fourth uncle and younger siblings?" Jin laughed and said, "It's rare that the weather is fine, your fourth uncle took them to the backyard to see the vegetable patch." If you have nothing to do, just play here for a while, if you have something to do, go by yourself, family, no need to talk about those false courtesies. ”
Wen Xinyi shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay today, my mother allowed me to stay here with the fourth aunt for a while, and my mother said that I should learn how to behave with the fourth aunt." Jin shook his head lightly, when it comes to dealing with people, Mrs. Wen is the one who really knows how to do things. Wen Xinyi let his own master not worship, but he was afraid that his own family would not be able to teach his own family. Jin smiled and said: "I don't know much in my mother's house, I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I only know a saying, in that mountain, you have to learn to sing the song of that mountain. (To be continued......)
