At night, the fourth wife, Sun, told her husband about the day's events and asked, "The second sister-in-law is particularly concerned about the fifth child because of Peiwei's affairs. By the way, who do you say is better, the second or the fifth?"

"Hua'er has a temperament that is too dignified, this young is the so-called three-year-old to see the old."

Shen Jiaji said slowly, "On the other hand, the fifth child used to lose his escape, but now he is becoming more and more stable, the young man is handsome, and he is willing to go back to study with a prodigal son, and now he has a famous teacher to teach him, and he sent me a few texts to show me, which is really impressive, if you can stick to it...... And the second child may have to suffer in this stable word, the craftsmanship is too heavy, and it seems that he is not a talented person......"

"The second child is too honest, like a stuffy gourd, it's good to be a Hanlin." Sun said.

Shen Jiaji said: "I don't worry about the second child, but I have always paid attention to choosing a wife for him in the gentry's house, but when I choose to choose, I am either bewitching, or I have no splendid chest, and no one is both talented and beautiful."

Sun said: "I saw the girl of the Wu family today, although she was dressed in white, but she had the style of a golden house, and she was born beautiful without the slightest bewitchment, she was indeed a good girl, but it was a pity that the sister-in-law liked the family first." can be allowed to match Hua'er, and it can be regarded as a natural pair, but his lintel is not yet complete, I don't know what Mrs. Wu will think. ”

"Miss Wu?" Shen Jiaji thought thoughtfully, "I haven't seen it, I heard you say that you are a good woman, how does it compare with Peiwen?"

Sun said with a smile: "Peach and plum white, although they are fragrant, but the spring blooms, and they are comparable."

"Can you compare with Peiwen?" Shen Jiaji was very surprised, stroked his palm and smiled, "This is wonderful, although the fifth child is still white, but after all, he can repent in time, and the gold is not changed, after these days I have carefully observed, he is smart and comfortable, and his sex science has not sunk, if he can study hard for three years, he may not be able to enter the Shi and finally become a great weapon." ”

"Look at what you said." Sun sneered, "Could it be that the fifth elder is stronger than the eldest and the third and fourth?"

"Not really." Shen Jiaji Shi Ran picked up the teacup and smiled meaningfully.

It is said that after Aunt Mao sent away Zhou Lianye, who was full of worries tonight, she stopped weaving cloth or boiling water, but hugged her knees with both hands, leaned against the wall, and looked at the lone lamp on the table in a daze.

It turned out that Aunt Mao was Sister Chunmei who was expelled from the Shen family, her maiden name was Mao, and the reason why Zhou Lianye called her Aunt San was because Shen Dazhu's nickname was Sanyazi, and it was not until she was eighteen years old that Shen An gave her a big name.

Over the years, people of the same generation have long been accustomed to calling him the third brother, and now the younger generation is called the third uncle.

In fact, Shen An was not originally surnamed Shen, and moved to Shenjia Village in the previous generation. Shenjia Village, like most rural villages in the past, most of the people in a village have the surnames Shen, Gu, and Zhou, and even if there are some other surnames, they are often excluded by the majority of people, and it is inconvenient to do anything.

After the Shen An family took refuge in the Shen family, they simply followed the surname of the main family.

In the past, most villages with the same surname would have an ancestral hall and a village temple, while Shenjia Village had three ancestral halls and one village temple.

Generally, every village has at least two stewards, and Shenjia Village is no exception, one is similar to the village head, and one of the three surnames with meritorious names has always taken turns to serve as the director.

Now the "village head" of Shenjia Village is Master Gu, and Zhou Lian and Shen Jiaji are considered "deputy village heads".

The other steward is the one who governs the affairs of the clan, although Shenjia Village is the three surnames, but the whole village is related to each other, with the three surnames as the head, it is basically a clan. Among them, the patriarch of the Shen family is naturally Shen Jiayou, and the patriarch of the entire village must be served by an older person, which is the old man Shen Han.

For external matters, such as forced labor, everyone has to come to consult Master Gu; Clan affairs in the village, such as red and white ceremonies, disputes, etc., if the old man speaks, it is equivalent to the recognition of the whole village.

Of course, there are three to five hundred people in the entire Shenjia Village, and there are several small families in the three major families, how many miscellaneous things will happen in a year? Your family lost a chicken, and my family fought with people from other villages, and the old man and Master Gu would definitely not care about such trivial matters.

Therefore, under the two stewards, the whole village still needs one or two people who are straightforward, can speak well, and have spare time to preside over everything, and Shen Jiaji is such an existence.

However, Shen Jiaji's status is very special, he wants to be famous, he wants to be famous, he wants to have his generation, he wants money and wealth, and many errands will not come forward in person, because there are a few people like Shen Kan below him.

A junior like Shen Kan has no status in either the whole clan or the whole village, but when he encounters something that the above allows him to deal with, then in this matter or this period of time, their status is the same as that of the two stewards.

This is the reason why when he heard about the Japanese Kou, Shen Kan was able to immediately call on the young people in the village, not because he was the fifth young master of the Shen family.

Zhou Lianye's father is also such a person, Shen Dazhu came back from the township brave regiment, and took refuge in the Zhou family.

When the people in the village saw that he had become a follower, they would give him a little cheap when they would ask him sooner or later. Shen Dazhu saw that it was profitable and had face, so he simply didn't think about all the hard work such as purchasing fields.

Every day, as long as there is nothing to do, I go out to eat and drink, and when I have money, I go to gamble. Although he is a good drinker, gambler and lustful, the Shen family can't tolerate it, but he doesn't talk about crookedness outside, doesn't bully people, and has helped the villagers to dispute with people from other villages for many years.

Such a person will not be rejected by the people in the village.

Only Aunt Mao's third aunt, Sister Chunmei, lives with such a husband, and she is always uncomfortable in her heart.

At this moment, Sister Chunmei thought about Zhou Lianye's words, and thought that a good girl would marry a leprosy husband, which was really wronged. However, even if he is an idle manager, he still has to open his arms when he wears clothes, tie a strip of cloth casually, and walk in a disgraceful manner, which is called an ugly one.

Every time I come back, I either shout five or drink six or get drunk, and the most unbearable thing is that I don't like to take a bath, and live with such a husband, what is the fun in life.

Suddenly, someone outside was banging on the door, and Sister Chunmei knew that he was back, still holding her thighs with both hands, and she didn't open the door when she heard it.

The door was kicked several times, and Shen Dazhu shouted, "Is it dead?" Don't come to open the door yet? Damn, watch Lao Tzu kick it away, and see if you are stealing at home. ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Sister Chunmei agreed, and when she walked out, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with the old lady stealing people?" If you have the ability, you will break the door, and I am afraid that no bastard will help to fix it. ”

As she spoke, she opened the two courtyard doors inward, and saw Shen Dazhu leaning over and stumbling in.

Sister Chunmei didn't bother to pay attention to him, closed the door, and went into the house to make a fire.

Because during these days, his wife was honest with the woman's way, bought a loom, worked day and night to earn money, and moved frequently with the wife of the Zhou family, Shen Dazhu's attitude gradually changed.

It just so happened that he wasn't completely drunk today, and when he walked into the house and saw his wife ignoring him, he was a little embarrassed, so he walked to the table by himself to find water to drink.

Picking up the teapot and seeing two empty rice bowls on the table, he immediately exclaimed, "Huh! How do you use two pairs of chopsticks alone?"

Sister Chunmei pouted and said, "I'm willing."

"Can't I ask?" Shen Dazhu frowned and sat down, "Your temperament has become bigger now, the woman's family wants to talk about three obedience and four virtues, and there are two bowls at home for no reason, is it like words?"

In the end, Sister Chunmei didn't dare to provoke him, so she said with a smile: "Look at you, it's the eldest girl from Zhou Xianggong's family who came to our house, and I left her for dinner." She's the person you meet every day, and I'm not going to lie. ”

Shen Dazhu listened quietly, and grinned: "Strange, the eldest lady is literate and arrogant, who does she usually put in her eyes, how can she be willing to talk to you as an ordinary woman?"

Sister Chunmei raised her eyebrows and said unconvinced: "I don't recognize a few words, but when it comes to the world, I'm no worse than her!"

"The world?" Shen Dazhu laughed twice, didn't say anything, sat there and watched his wife clean up the table, took out the wine jug below, and poured himself a drink.

After being busy for a long time, Sister Chunmei raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, it was hot in midsummer, and her mood was also sullen, and she suddenly sighed.

I didn't want this move to be seen by Shen Dazhu, so he looked at him with a pair of drunken eyes and said, "What are you sighing, aren't you allowed me to ask about family matters?"

"You're thinking too much." Sister Chunmei didn't want him to misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, "I'm sighing for the eldest girl, don't worry about it." ”

With that, she picked up the air dead wind lamp on the wall, lit the candle, and walked out with it.

"Big girl, what's on your mind?" Shen Dazhu also followed her out.

Originally, Sister Chunmei planned to fetch water in the yard to take a shower, but when she saw her husband coming out, she had to give up, so she scooped up a basin of well water and carried it into the bedroom.

Shen Dazhu directly urinated in the yard.
