Chapter 6: I haven't seen you for half a year
Shu Manyao just didn't know what was going on outside, and got up early in the morning every day to go to the old lady to ask for peace, Shu Chengye was finally busy with the autumn harvest, and he also brought Shu Zheming to ask for peace every day, Shu Manyao changed her previous temperament, and when she saw Shu Chengye, she was no longer as timid as before, but when she saw Shu Chengye, she was full of admiration and joy, and she also pestered Shu Chengye to explain her homework to her, or to talk about things outside.
Not only was the old lady surprised, but Shu Chengye was also taken aback at first, and then he was happy.
For the daughter left by his ex-wife, Shu Chengye is very careful. But a daughter is different from a son, he can take his son with him to raise him, but he can't take his daughter with him all the time.
Moreover, with the presence of the old lady, he was convinced that no one would be able to harm his daughter. It's just that he didn't expect that his daughter's temperament has changed more and more, at first she just didn't like to talk very much, Shu Chengye didn't take this to heart, girls, talking too much is still a crime, and she is sensitive to words and deeds, which is just right.
But when he didn't like to talk and became cowardly, Shu Chengye was taken aback, and sold all the maids around Shu Manyao, leaving only one of his daughter's closest nurses. However, her daughter's temperament can't be broken back.
Shu Chengye had no choice but to invite Mr., just thinking that reading the words of the sage would always make people grow a little.
He is busy with official duties, and he can't keep watch all the time. Every time I asked Mr. Na, I would be relieved to learn that my daughter was learning well. When I came back this time, I saw that my daughter's personality had changed greatly, and I didn't feel weird at all, and I thought that my own method had worked, but I just thought that I had to invite my husband back, otherwise, my daughter's life would be ruined.
"You've been cured for two days, when are you going to go to school?" Shu Chengye touched his beard and asked with a smile, Shu Manyao shook his head, a little embarrassed: "Dad, my daughter doesn't want to study with Mr. anymore." ”
She couldn't tell whether the maid around her was loyal or not, but she could tell whether the gentleman was loyal or traitorous. In her previous life, she always brought all kinds of scripts with her to class, either Yingying or Liniang, and Mr. never clicked it out once.
Originally, she thought that she was smart and clever enough to avoid her husband's sharp eyes. But when I look back and think about it, I can understand that the gentleman is on it, and he can even see the wrong words written by the second sister, how can he not see that her books are different?
"Don't want to go to school anymore?" Shu Chengye was a little surprised, he also thought that his daughter's temperament had changed, not to mention that she was very studious, at least she didn't hate studying, why didn't she want to study?
"Mr. always asks women to memorize women's precepts, or to talk about the legend of martyrs, my daughter has already learned, so I don't want to go, my daughter wants to learn to paint, is it okay for my father to teach my daughter?" Shu Manyao hesitated, her face was slightly red, and she secretly looked at Shu Chengye's expression as she spoke.
Shu Chengye is the most elegant, likes calligraphy and painting the most, his attainments are not low, and he also likes to sponsor scholars who are good at calligraphy and painting. Wasn't Cao Wei valued by his father like this, and then invited to live in the outer courtyard at home?
It's just that Shu Manyao studied calligraphy and painting, but not for Cao Wei, she couldn't wait to eat that person's flesh and drink that person's blood, how could she still think about him?
If that person is not stepped on in the dust, she will not be able to breathe out of her heart! She Shu Manyao has a soft temperament, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't hold grudges.
The old lady was originally listening to their father and daughter talking, but when she heard Shu Manyao's words, she frowned slightly: "Ridiculous! What kind of calligraphy and painting do girls learn? If you have that time, you can be more female celebrities, or learn how to keep accounts, and you can take care of the house when you get married in the future, can you eat calligraphy and painting as a meal? ”
"Grandmother," Shu Manyao hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly: "The granddaughter's female red is very good now, you see, this is the forehead wiping that the granddaughter plans to make for you, is it good-looking?" ”
As she spoke, she took a half-finished product from the side for the old lady to see, and the old lady wanted to reprimand a few words, so that Shu Manyao could not be complacent, but when she saw Shu Manyao's expectant eyes, and then thought of her granddaughter's previous temperament, she swallowed the harsh criticism again, and nodded reluctantly: "It's good." ”
Shu Manyao nodded with a smile: "As for the bookkeeping and housekeeping director, the granddaughter is only thirteen years old now, and she is not in a hurry, after two years, will the grandmother teach her granddaughter this?" ”
As he spoke, his face was a little gloomy: "My granddaughter thought about a lot of things wrong, so that she changed her temperament, and my granddaughter heard that calligraphy and painting can make people broad-minded, open-minded, and cultivate temperament, so I thought about learning calligraphy and painting from my father......"
Shu Chengye nodded hurriedly: "That's true, Man Yao's temperament has to be changed." ”
The old lady frowned, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and the girl's family studies a lot, so it is inevitable that she will change her temperament. Either they think very highly of themselves, or they are sentimental and resentful, although they can be loved by men for a while, but in this world, after all, the woman who can take care of the family affairs is the most defensible.
Her granddaughter, her temperament is already bad, and she almost washes her face with tears all day long, and then she goes to learn what calligraphy and painting, and read some messy books, wouldn't it be worse?
"Mother, my son knows what you're worried about, don't worry, if your son wants to teach Man Yao, he will definitely choose haode calligraphy and painting, which makes people happy when they see it." Shu Chengye said with a smile, and then turned his head sideways and ordered: "Let people go to the study and bring my paintings, a picture of autumn climbing, and a picture of autumn thinking." ”
The little maid ran fast and quickly brought the two paintings over. Shu Chengye personally unfolded it for the old lady to see: "Mother, look at these two paintings, what is the difference?" ”
Shu Manyao also leaned over, the two paintings depicted the landscape of the same place, but there were a few more people on it, smiling and smiling, looking at it made people feel that the atmosphere was open. The other is the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which is bleak.
The old lady just doesn't know how to write and write, and she can see the meaning of the painting at this time.
Shu Chengye hurriedly followed a few words of persuasion, and the old lady could still listen to her son's words, and the idea of refusing was a little shaken.
As he was talking, he heard a report from outside, saying that the second girl and the third girl came to say goodbye. Shu Manyao frowned slightly, but the old lady directly let people in. Shu Manyu has a lively temperament, and when he entered the door, he came to Shu Chengye's side: "Daddy, are you taking a break today?" Can you take me and my sister out of the house? My sister and I wanted to buy something. ”
The old lady did not object to the girl going out, and when she heard this, she asked, "What do you want to buy?" Your father finally took a break for two days, can't you let your mother take you out? ”
"Grandmother, we are with my mother every day, and finally my father is resting, we really want to be with my father." Shu Manyu leaned over to be coquettish, and when he saw the two paintings on the soft couch, he asked curiously: "Grandmother, what are you doing with this?" ”
The old lady said that Shu Manyao wanted to learn calligraphy and painting, and Shu Manjin next to her frowned slightly, looked at Shu Manyao and said: "Eldest sister, it's not that you don't know etiquette as a younger sister, and you want to refute what the eldest sister said, it's just that if the eldest sister wants to learn calligraphy and painting, can't you find a gentleman?" Mr. also has some research on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my father has to be busy with official business every day, so he finally has to rest for a day or two, and he also has to inspect the homework of his younger brothers, and he has to talk to his grandmother and meet our sisters, where is the time to be a gentleman? ”
Shu Manyu nodded: "What the second sister said is, eldest sister, if you really want to learn this, you can ask Mr., our husband was specially invited by your father for you, you don't have to be polite to Mr." ”
Seeing the two sisters secretly giving themselves eye medicine as soon as they said and agreed, Shu Manyao was about to laugh angrily, and it took a lot of effort to finally suppress the anger in her heart, and then looked at Shu Manjin with slightly red eyes: "Second sister, I know that my father is very busy on weekdays, but in the past, my father was resting, and I had never seen my father, and I hadn't seen my father for more than a month." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly burst into tears: "When I was sick before, I missed my father very much, and I didn't dare to say this to my grandmother, for fear that my grandmother would think I was ignorant." Now I think that if my father can teach me to learn calligraphy and painting, I don't say that I can see my father every day, and I can see my father once a month......"
Shu Manyao's crying is not pretending, she has not seen Shu Chengye for more than ten years. In his last life, he eloped with someone at the age of eighteen, and committed suicide at the age of twenty-eight.
I had to control my emotions before, except for the change in temperament, I didn't dare to let people see other signs, but now I used this scene to vent the longing, regret and grief in my heart, as well as the resentment towards Shu Manjin's mother and daughter.
Shu Chengye is a big man's family, what he sees on weekdays, either the pear blossoms of his wife and concubine are stained with rain, or the howling of children, where have I seen Shu Manyao like this, he didn't say a word, only his tears were like a flood, he couldn't stop, and after a while, his face turned pale, his lips turned purple, and he was about to cry out of breath?
couldn't sit still, Shu Chengye got up and stood beside Shu Manyao, stroked her hair with one hand, and only said don't cry, he is a big man, he can tell the truth and be reasonable, but he is not very comforting.
Even the old lady was startled, hurriedly hugged the person in her arms, kept rubbing her chest and patting her back, and made a stack of sounds to bring water, and was busy comforting Shu Manyao: "Yao'er, don't cry, are you going to feel sorry for your grandmother?" Shut it up, isn't it just to learn calligraphy and painting? Grandmother agreed, didn't let my husband teach, let your father teach in person, and let him guide you every day! Don't cry, be careful of hurting yourself. ”
While comforting, I wondered, why did my granddaughter say that she hadn't seen her father for more than a month? Every time Chengye comes to this courtyard, he always has to go to Man Yao to have a look. What went wrong in the middle?
