Chapter 290: Self-reliance
Qian could see the loss in Zhuo's eyes clearly, and she could vaguely guess some of Zhuo's thoughts.
Qian sighed secretly in his heart, Zhuo's had too high hopes for his daughter.
Qian has long understood Cheng Kejia's temperament, that is, a person who likes to make a fortune in silence like her father.
In the past year or two, Cheng Enci's quietness can easily make his family forget his old demeanor.
Qian looked at Zhuo's depressed expression, and she was relieved: "Jia'er's child is in good place, she is a blessed child."
Don't love her too much. ”
Originally, I didn't want to have such a heart-to-heart relationship with Zhuo's family, but they got along well on weekdays.
Zhuo Shi was very discouraged and said to Qian: "Sister-in-law, you also know that my mother's brothers usually don't have much free time, and they are willing to teach Jia'er to play the piano, and they have done their best.
But what does this kid think? She hadn't gone to school yet, and she had already retreated in her heart.
Sister-in-law, when my sister and I were at my parents' house, our sisters had to learn to read and write secretly, and we couldn't take up some of our brothers' free time.
Now she has such a great opportunity, but she doesn't know how to cherish it. ”
Qian Shi looked at Zhuo's red eyes, and she was also slightly surprised, she always thought that the old lady of the Zhuo family actually encouraged her daughter to read and write.
Zhuo Shi saw the look on Qian's face clearly, she smiled astringently, and whispered, "You are also surprised, right?"
My father had earlier wanted our sisters to go to other people's families to study, but the family was really difficult, so he had to let my brothers take the time to teach us to read, read and write.
Later, my relatives gossiped a lot, and my brothers were getting older and their studies were heavier, and our sisters were also getting older, so things at home couldn't let my mother go from morning to night.
My sister and I gradually only had time to study on our own in the evenings, and during the day, we had to do some chores along with them.
In fact, the situation in my family is better than that of many people, at least my sister still learned to read and write, read books and read some small accounts. ”
Qian nodded lightly, if Zhuo was an illiterate woman in a scholar's family, she would not be able to marry into a family.
Qian was a little strange, she heard that there are many noble scholars who are happy to have a reputation as a talented woman who can read in their family.
Qian quietly asked Zhuo Shi in a low voice, and after hearing this, she was stunned, then shook her head with a smile and said: "My mother is a person of great wisdom, although she only knows a few words, but in these matters, she has always been more assertive than my father. ”
Those who have real talent and real learning in the world often devote all their minds to learning.
Some people's fame can be spread when the right opportunity arises. But most of them, they live their own lives peacefully.
Large families encourage women to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they have never thought that they must let the women in the family do everything in this regard, and their deepest motive is just to seek a good family business for their daughter.
Women from ordinary families have few opportunities to read and write, and it is still difficult for the family to support men to study, so where do they spend their thoughts on marrying women.
These things, the Qian family understands, the Zhuo family understands, and the Zhuo family still cares about the reputation of talented women in their hearts.
There are many women of the same age in the neighborhood, but she is the only one who is well married, because she is literate and can read books, settle accounts, and know how to play a piano or two.
Zhuo is very satisfied with her current life, her wish is to have another son, so that she can completely go with the flow in the matter of having children.
After Zhuo knew that the Qian family was calculated by the concubines, she was even more defensive about the concubines, and under normal circumstances, she could not allow the subordinates of Senyuan to have too much contact with the concubines.
Cheng Enci previously felt that the Zhuo family was too cold and cold to the concubines, but after he heard about the Qian family, he thought that the Zhuo family was also very good.
Zhuo's family can give birth and is willing to give birth, Cheng Enci is naturally willing to have more sons-in-law, but he mentioned to Zhuo's family that he no longer wants to have any more concubines, after all, Cheng Kejia alone has already made him think hard enough.
After Zhuo listened to Cheng Enci's words, she couldn't say what she felt in her heart.
The old lady of the Zhuo family treated their sisters very kindly, but he never treated Cheng Kejia like Cheng Enci, it was completely what his daughter said.
Zhuo's is fortunate that Cheng Kejia has a peaceful temperament many times, but sometimes she has any requirements for Cheng Enci, and she will also express it tactfully to Cheng Kejia.
Cheng Kejia listened to her, she nodded every time, and after that, Cheng Enci did some things, and some things seemed to be never known.
Zhuo's attitude to the gift of the process, she found that Cheng Kejia never seemed to have helped her to pass on the word seriously.
Zhuo didn't know if Cheng Kejia had always understood what she meant, or if she had never understood what she meant.
Zhuo Shi talked to Cheng Kejia later, and she was too direct.
Cheng Kejia sometimes agrees to her directly, and sometimes tells her: "Mother, I am still a child, I don't understand the affairs of you adults, you and your father should talk about it." ”
Zhuo Shi looked at the look on Cheng Kejia's face, she couldn't force Cheng Kejia, and after that, Zhuo didn't want to mention that matter with Cheng Enci.
Zhuo's heart felt that Cheng Kejia was actually very smart, but she always wanted to be lazy and never used her smart energy to do business.
Zhuo's said to Cheng Enci like this, but Cheng Enci's attitude was calm, and he said: "Jia'er knows how to be lazy is already a rare ability, there are so many smart people in the world, but there are not many who can be lazy." ”
After Zhuo's anger was extreme, she ignored Cheng Enci for several days, but in the end, Cheng Enci didn't notice her snub at all.
Zhuo Shi only sulked secretly for a few days, and after that, she saw that Cheng Enci had to return to her previous attitude.
Zhuo's heart understands that she wants to live a good life in the Cheng family, and she and Cheng Enci must get along well.
The old lady of the Zhuo family has always been worried about Zhuo's high spirit, and she quietly said a lot of confidant words to Zhuo's family, the general meaning is that when the men in the family are willing to be attentive to her and the child, she can't cold the man's heart.
Zhuo Shi looked at the old lady of the Zhuo family's white hair, she could only nod lightly, Sister Zhuo's marriage is a mess, if she is in that situation again, I am afraid that the old lady will be even more uncomfortable.
Sister Zhuo came to Cheng's house like her, she looked at Zhuo's face, and she said to Zhuo's with some regret: "I was stupid before, I would be moved by such a person."
If I had been so sober like you, my life wouldn't have been the way it is.
Now he can only keep his own dowry, take care of the son's property by the way, wait for the man to be old, and wait for the son to grow up and stand on his own. ”
