064 Get rich first, drive later
Shen Tuantuan drank porridge, and just woke up, she had no appetite to eat these buns, and she felt comfortable eating porridge. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, and his stomach was warm, Shen Tuantuan said: "Our father can't hide things in his heart, and he will come to ask for ideas after keeping it for a while." β
In the past, when Mei was there, Shen Zhong listened to Mei's advice. After Mei left, Shen Zhong found that his children had more ideas as they got older, so he simply worked hard, but everything he took ideas was thrown to his children. Happy to be a shopkeeper.
Shen Tuantuan was not wrong, but after a while, Shen Zhong estimated that the princess would not come later, if it was the princess who spoke, Shen Zhong was afraid that his children would misunderstand, so it was better to say it himself.
Therefore, waiting for the brother and sister to finish eating, Shen Tuantuan washed the dishes, Shen Changzhi fetched water by the well, and Shen Zhong came over rubbing his hands on time. "Changzhi, Tuan Tuan, that sister-in-law already knows where she is from!"
Shen Tuantuan's hand washing the dishes paused, "Where are you?" β
Shen Changzhi also stared at Shen Zhong, waiting for him to continue.
Shen Zhong was a little weak-hearted, obviously it was autumn, and he didn't know why it was still so hot. Shen Zhong wiped a handful of sweat, "Then what is from our nearby village, that is-it is from Wangjiawan." β
Shen Tuantuan repeated, "Wangjiawan? β
It's that Shen Changzhi has a good memory, and when he looks at Shen Zhong's face again, there is nothing he doesn't understand. "That woman is the widow of the king who told her father that she was the matchmaker?"
"Hmm!" Shen Zhong nodded, he knew that his children were smart, and he didn't need to say much to understand. "I really don't have any intention of remarrying, you know, I only have your mother's in my heart."
Shen Changzhi suddenly lost his patience, but for some reason, he didn't want Shen Zhong to mention their mother at this time, so he immediately interrupted Shen Zhong's words. "What do you mean by Wangjiawan?"
"I don't know, only Wang Po came today, and no one from her family came." Shen Zhong didn't say all of Wang Po's words, and there were some things he couldn't say.
Shen Tuantuan glanced at Shen Changzhi with some concern, shut up and didn't speak.
"Then wait until the woman wakes up." After Shen Changzhi finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too detached, and added, "Can't we go to the Wang family, please ask the Wang family to carry people back, right?" β
"That's naturally not going to happen, then- then let's wait for someone to wake up!"
When Shen Zhong went to the east chamber to grind tofu, Shen Tuantuan spoke in a firm tone. "Brother, were you angry just now?"
"Nope!"
"My brother was angry with my father. This matter is my fault, if she hadn't saved me, she wouldn't have fallen unconscious, and she wouldn't have been relied on by the Wang family to come to our house. β
Shen Changzhi also knew that he really shouldn't have just been, but he was just a little annoyed. Listening to Tuan Tuan's words of self-blame, he was a little helpless. "Tuan Tuan, you know I never blame you! I know that even if that woman had a scheming heart, she would not have risked her life for this. Our father is not a golden man, so he will not gamble with his life. I was just annoyed, and my dad mentioned my mother. β
Shen Tuantuan was stunned and silent.
"Brother, wait for this, will you go to the academy to study?" Shen Tuantuan said suddenly. In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that if the Wang family relied on the Shen family, Shen Zhong would have no choice, sooner or later he would marry the widow Wang, after all, the situation was urgent that day, Shen Zhong carried the widow Wang all the way back, but there were many people along the way to see that in the past few days, the widow Wang was unconscious here, and it is estimated that it will not be clear anymore.
Besides, with the grace of saving lives, it is difficult for the Shen family to refuse.
Shen Changzhi glanced up at Shen Tuantuan, "Don't go." β
"I asked my eldest cousin to help keep an eye on it, to see if Yuyin Academy will recruit students this year, and when the time comes, my brother will give it a try."
Shen Tuantuan wanted to say these words for a long time, but Shen Tuantuan didn't say them because of his shyness in his pocket, and now he also has nearly dozens of taels of silver at home, which is enough for Shen Changzhi.
"I've thought about it, I'm not going to study anymore."
Shen Tuantuan still didn't give up, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother-"
"Tuan Tuan, my brother seriously doesn't want to study anymore. I'm fifteen years old, and after losing the book for so many years, and picking it up again, how long will it take to be admitted to Xiucai? Our family can't afford to wait for me to go to school when I'm old, so it's better to give up early in the first place. It's like Ankang's cousin, if he studies for another ten years, he won't be able to show talent, and maybe he will give up. My aunt's family is better than ours, right? β
Shen Tuantuan also knew that Xiucai was not easy to test, otherwise he would not have heard from time to time that there was an old man with white hair who was still taking the Xiucai test.
"Could it be that my brother has been thinking about drawing some picture books for the bookstore in this life?" Shen Tuantuan was a little distressed and choked up.
Shen Changzhi touched the top of Shen Tuantuan's black hair, "It's really a worrying Tuantuan, when my brother marries you, I'll find something to do." What Shen Changzhi didn't say was that he had already thought about it when someone said goodbye to Shen Zhong, and at that time, he couldn't sleep all night long, couldn't sleep, so he copied the paintings in the album.
finally figured it out, if their father no longer married, he would marry his daughter-in-law early and have children, and live like this for the rest of his life.
If their father remarried, Shen Changzhi would take care of Tuan Tuan wholeheartedly, marry Tuan Tuan in a beautiful manner, and then go out for a walk. He had never been out of Jiangxia City, and often watched the big ships on the dock from south to north, from north to south, Shen Changzhi wanted to go out to see, did nothing, went down the river, and walked around one place after another.
But Shen Changzhi would not say these words.
It doesn't matter, how you live it, it's a lifetime.
"Could it be that my brother wants to marry? But, I don't think they're worthy of my brother! My brother is the nicest person! Shen Tuantuan felt from the bottom of his heart that Shen Changzhi was really perfect, if Shen Changzhi could be born into a big family, he would be kept above the court for the rest of his life.
"What a stupid thing to say, every sister thinks that her brother is the best. If you don't believe it, ask Sanya! β
The brother and sister talked for a while, and Shen Tuantuan had already secretly decided that when these things were over, he would go to the city and ask the little aunt to help pay attention to whether there was a shop changing hands.
As night fell, Wang Po came alone.
"I've been tired of you guarding these days, now that I know, I naturally have to accompany me for a few nights, maybe my relatives are here, and Lan'er will wake up." Since Wang Po said so, the Shen family naturally followed.
With Wang Po guarding, Sanya Niang drove Shen Tuantuan and Sanya back to sleep.
It's night, it's late.
The third girl heard that it was Wang Po who came to accompany the night, and her eyes were shining. If this was left before, Sanya Niang didn't plan to invite Wang Po, although Wang Po had a good reputation, but because of her good reputation, she couldn't take care of their family. But now it's different, with this friendship, Wang Po can't say that she can bother more.
Sanya Niang said about her own situation, "I'll tell Aunt Wang, I'm also hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, but I am absolutely short-sighted, and outsiders don't dare to bully my family." My son is the most honest, I also figured it out, so many years, my son can't say daughter-in-law, one is my reputation, if there is a little lady in the family is not at ease, you can break up as soon as you enter the door, they are two people live behind closed doors, as long as they live well, I will rest assured that I am a mother. β
Of course, Wang Po has also heard of Sanyaniang, they are all from the next village, and they are doing this business, how could they not have heard of Sanyaniang. But seeing that Sanya Niang is willing to come over to take care of Lan'er every day, Wang Po has already believed most of what Sanya Niang said. "There are a few families in my heart, you tell me, what do you want, and I'll go back and find out."
"I don't have any requirements, it's just that the little lady is real, kind-hearted, and it's okay if she's fierce. My son is already a stuffy gourd, so I pointed out that my daughter-in-law was more capable. As long as you don't forget your roots, you can do it. β
Wang Po also knew that Sanya Niang really didn't have any requirements, "I have this matter in mind, I'll go to find out the wind first, if it happens, I'll give you a reply." β
"That's called trouble Wang Po, when you go back and wait, I'll wrap you with a big red envelope as a thank you gift." As soon as the third girl heard that Wang Po should respond, she was relieved. What she said was not a lie, she originally planned to go out when her son became a family, and let the couple pass by themselves in the future. You can't have a poor family, you have to drag your son who has a family to live in a mess together.
After marrying the two daughters out, after a few years of hard work, I scraped together a bride price to let my youngest son marry, and this life can be regarded as being able to live. As for whether it will be good or not in the future, it all depends on the creation of children and grandchildren.
The two of them talked about some of the shortcomings of the east and the west, and reprimanded them together.
Wang Po is old, and she has yawned several times in the second half of the night.
"Auntie, go to sleep, I'm here!" Today, Widow Wang's condition has stabilized, and she no longer has a fever, according to Old Man Ning, it is estimated that she will be able to wake up in the next two days.
Wang Po didn't hold it either, she ran outside for a day today, and she really couldn't hold it, lying on the deck chair of the Ning family, covered with a thin quilt, and drowsy. On weekdays, Sanya Niang also lies down and rests like this.
"Waterβ"
The third girl was dozing off, and suddenly seemed to hear something, startling a cleverness. β
"Waterβ"
The third girl listened carefully, confirmed that the voice came from the bed, and immediately stood up, because the movement was too big, and accidentally brought down the stool.
Bang β
The princess, who was so startled that she was asleep, also woke up. "What's wrong? What's wrong? β
"I think I heard her wake up." The third lady wanted to call the woman on the bed "widow of the king", but it was really inappropriate to think about it in front of the princess. I don't feel so familiar with the name "Lan'er" that I can't open my mouth.
