Chapter 566: The Knot (Part 2)
The Zhou family greeted the Shen family with great enthusiasm, busy with everything, as if he was the future head of the Shen family, and the daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law for twenty years, and it was not so long for the Zhou family to marry into the Shen family, but now she is really a mother-in-law, and the burden of the Shen family is about to fall on her shoulders.
The Li family is old after all!
Zhou didn't think about it before, but when he saw the old lady again this time, he felt that she was much older...... Maybe it's because the big stone that has been pressing on my heart for a lifetime finally landed, and I lost my pursuit of life, and my body collapsed.
In the past, even if the old lady had small feet, she could walk fast with small steps, but now the old lady is not only inconvenient in her legs and feet, but even her hands have begun to tremble, becoming more and more like an old woman in her twilight years.
"When will Shichiro come back?"
"The little man is still out on errands, isn't he dismissed and afraid to go home?"
"Brother and sister, bring a letter to Shichiro and see if you can let Gorou go out with him?"
……
Zhou's patience gradually wore out as the days went on.
Shen Xi said that he should come back in mid-February, but in late February, there was still no news from Shen Xi, the Zhou family couldn't wait for a long time, and he was anxious.
The Zhou family has been married into the Shen family for some years, and she probably knew the difficulties of being in charge of the family before, but she didn't experience it personally, being in charge of the family is the old lady's business, she just needs to focus on her own small family, but she expected, isn't it just eating, drinking, and sleeping?
If you change me, you will do the same!
This time, I really want the Zhou family to do the friendship of the landlord for a period of time, but she made a difficulty, where is this home, it is simply to be an old mother for this family!
Today, there is something missing in this house, let her pay someone to buy it, and before she came back, the child of that family was sick again, and quickly asked Xie Yun'er to see a doctor, this disease is not yet cured, the old lady stepped on the empty foot when she went out, and quickly accompanied her to the pharmacy to apply the medicine, and she had to find someone to serve, the old lady was not yet well, Xiaoyu in the pharmacy caught the wrong medicine, and someone came to make trouble......
There are enough broken things, and I have to endure Wang's constant picking, less oil and water in the food, sewing kits when the clothes are torn, and the little ones are long and the little ones are short, and the Zhou family really wants to slap them on that hateful face.
But she still has to hold back, who made her think that she must be the head of the Shen family in the future, and she must have the demeanor of the head of the family?
At the beginning, Zhou's often talked about: "Han Wa'er is coming back." ”
Later, it became: "Come back quickly." ”
In the end, it became: "Why hasn't the stinky boy come back?" ”
Hui Niang initially helped the Zhou family with some points, but in the end, Hui Niang is an outsider, she has to take care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the silver number, where is the time to assist the Zhou family? The old lady also didn't allow Xie Yun'er to help in the pharmacy, and the pharmacy was missing the backbone of the Zhou family, which made the Zhou family even more upset.
Hui Niang saw that her sister's patience was running out, so she couldn't help but find an opportunity to persuade her: "If my sister feels that she can't support it, let Xiu'er take care of them at home...... Living at home, do you have to ask others to help you do it? ”
Zhou sighed: "I used to think so, each room lives its own small life, just don't care about others, and you can live it as a day of separation without separation." Wouldn't it be nice for us to have a little hardship as a husband and wife to feed the child and provide him with education? Perhaps...... It was the old lady who had not separated for many years, so that the entire Shen family was counting on the old lady to take care of it, and the old lady suddenly gave up, and they couldn't even take care of themselves. Alas! ”
Hui Niang had never heard Zhou say such deep words, maybe it was because she let Zhou be a family for a few days that she had such a profound experience.
But Hui Niang shook her head, she felt it, it was not that the Shen family couldn't take care of themselves, it was that they were too dependent on outsiders, and some people simply gave the Zhou family problems and deliberately made trouble.
In fact, living in the city is very simple, eating and drinking, etc., you only need to tell where it is sold, how much it is, and let the Shen family buy it themselves, how difficult can it be?
However, in the past, the old lady was responsible for these things, and the procurement was carried out by a special person to deliver the goods to the door, without the help of the people in each room, and the bad problem of reaching out for clothes and opening mouths for food in each room was developed.
The old lady of the Shen family has been suppressing the ability of people in each room to be independent from the beginning, even if there is an opportunity to make them independent, the old lady has not given them the conditions for independence. A person like the Zhou family, who has been saving private money for the future for a long time, is considered an alternative in the Shen family.
"Sister, let's do it, if you feel tired and panicked, let's close the pharmacy, you concentrate on taking care of your family, and after the Shen family leaves, the pharmacy will open again." Hui Niang said sincerely.
Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You haven't thought about it?" The old lady will be careful for a penny, and now she doesn't allow Yun'er to come out, just waiting for me to make money in the pharmacy to support this big family! ”
Hui Niang said helplessly: "In this way, my sister can take care of the affairs of the pharmacy with peace of mind, and let Yun'er take charge of the Shen family's affairs, I think Yun'er should be a good hand in housework." ”
Zhou said with suspicion: "Is she okay?" ”
I can't take care of myself as a daughter-in-law, Xie Yun'er is just a granddaughter-in-law, how can I manage this big family well?
Hui Niang smiled with a little confidence: "Let Yun'er try it, seeing that she is idle enough these days, maybe she should find something to do." ”
……
……
Xie Yun'er came out to help, and it was really different.
The biggest difference between Xie Yun'er and the Zhou family is that she is careful and patient, plus she has experience in taking care of the Xie family, knows how to plan, can distinguish priorities, and the most important thing is that she has a good temper and will not be in a hurry with anyone, she took over taking care of the Shen family for two days, and the Shen family was in harmony, and even the Wang family, who likes to stir up trouble, honestly shut up.
Li was very happy when he saw it: "This is the good daughter-in-law of my Shen family, my Qilang is not only the best talent, but also married a capable lady, with her to take care of the Shen family, I will be relieved to die." ”
The reason why Xie Yun'er can take care of the housework so smoothly is inseparable from the support of the Li family.
The Li family is now releasing their suspicions with the Zhou family, but the old lady is strongly wary of this daughter-in-law. In the past, you obediently didn't quarrel with me, I treated you as a good wife and mother, but after a few years, I trained my son to be a champion, but you hid a small treasury in private, and you dared to talk back to me, if it weren't for Qilang's sake, you would have been kicked out of the house.
Even if you have the ability to make money, can you compare to my Shichiro's daughter-in-law?
You are just Qilang's mother, Yun'er is Qilang's wife, and she will be the heir in the future, and her son will be the hope of my Shen family's inheritance in the future.
Now that Qilang has won the champion, the tiger father has no dogs, and in the future, Shen Jiaxing will rely on Qilang's vein, no matter how capable you are, how many births will come out like that, look at Shilang, he is so stupid as anything, he was bullied by his sister so much that he had a handful of snot and tears, a mother's womb, how can the gap be so big?
Just when Li was thinking about his thoughts, poor Shilang Shen Yun, who was under the porch at this time, was wiped by his sister Shen Yi'er, and looked at his sister with a bitter face, not understanding why he was treated like this.
When Li saw it, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, it was already God's grace for you to give birth to a champion, and now giving birth to a stupid son is a punishment for you.
This kind of stupid grandson, in the future, can only rely on his brother's protection, just mess around in the yamen, and have mediocre qualifications all his life, what do I care about him?
As soon as he turned his head, the Li family entered the room with the support of the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, the Lu family, and then the Lu family came out and helped Shilang Shen Yun wipe the ashes off his face.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of February, Shen Xi finally sent a message back from Quanzhou Mansion, saying that after the official business of Quanzhou Mansion was completed, he would arrive at Tingzhou Mansion on the second or third day of March.
When the old lady heard the contents of the letter, she was so happy that she almost fainted, but Zhou muttered there: "Stinky boy, I'm finally coming back, I'm about to toss the dead old lady." ”
As the news spread that Zhuang Yuanlang was coming back, the attitude of the Shen family was very different, basically except for the Wang family, everyone else hoped to see this new champion of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.
"What is the ability of the little one? Later my son ...... Must be better than him! ”
Now the Wang family doesn't count on Shen Mingwen anymore, even she can see it herself, it is better to wait for her husband to be promoted, it is better to expect her son to be promoted, this husband is too lazy to be like a pig, and has bad intentions, so that Shen Mingwen will have a chance in the future, whether her position in the Shen family can be kept is still a question.
The neighborhood quickly spread the news.
In the past, many people disdained Shen Xi, a prodigy, thinking that it was just a flash in the pan, and when he grew up, he would become mediocre.
But now that Shen Xi has been a high school champion, what if he is mediocre in the future? The road of people's imperial examinations has been completed! After becoming an official, no matter how worthless it is in the future, it will gradually improve from the current official position of the sixth grade, and after a few years of assessment, you can still be promoted, and mediocrity is not mediocre.
The neighborhood is ready to greet it, and even the Yamen of Tingzhou Prefecture and County has a welcome activity. Needless to say, the Yamen of Tingzhou Prefecture and the Yamen of Changting Zhixian County, even the Yamen of Ninghua Zhixian County are also making preparations.
After all, the new champion wants to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, the new champion is a Hanlin official, and he is a lecturer in the East Palace.
As long as you have the official titles of Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi and the Waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you can enter the cabinet as a scholar, and it may take decades for someone else to change to someone else, but Shen Xi, who is an official in the East Palace, may be able to survive in more than ten years.
It depends on when the current emperor will drive the crane to the west, and when the crown prince will ascend the throne.
According to the experience of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after they ascended the throne, the East Palace Lecturer can be said to be a shortcut to the promotion of the Cabinet Scholars, and now the three Cabinet Scholars who are famous all over the world, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, are all East Palace Lecturers.
Such a promising Hanlin official, can he not stammer earlier?
