Chapter 84 Palm Eye (3rd Watch)
In the last book, Jiang Xinyao asked Jiang Yuanchen with a solemn face, where did his wealth come from?
Jiang Yuanchen thought about it seriously for a while and said, "From my parents, from the old lady." ”
Xin Yao sneered and asked, "If one day, these people are gone, where does your wealth come from?" ”
Jiang Yuanchen reluctantly said: "I study hard, become an official in the future, and earn it by myself." ”
"Ambitious. My sister told you that wealth only comes from her own hands for a long time. I have brought your money so that you may understand the difficulty of a man who does not have money, and he will reach out and ask for money everywhere. Do you know it now? ”
Jiang Yuanchen's little head was like a chicken cutting rice.
"Father, mother dotes on you, afraid that you will suffer, except for the month, there are often subsidies in private. If your parents are old, the Jiang family is down, and you are no longer able to provide for them, what should you do? Brother, sister is not alarmist. Now that life is stable, who can guarantee the stability of a lifetime? ”
Jiang Yuanchen's face gradually tightened, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"One day, you will really be poor, but will you be poor and have no blame, and be poor and happy? When you are rich, you can't be rich and not delicate, rich and courteous, let alone poor? Today, I am very happy that you have all your belongings to buy hairpins for me. I would be happier if one day you would take the money you earned and buy me a thread and give it to me. Younger brother, the shadow of the ancestors can only protect for a while, and his own life can be established for a lifetime. ”
Jiang Yuanchen nodded emphatically.
Xin Yao said again: "There is a way for a wise man not to lose his words. A smart person knows what to say and not to say in what situations and to what kind of people. Some words come from the hands and are spoken, but the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention. People on the other side. Hearts are separated by thousands of miles. It's just an old book, and it's not worth much. What if Ming'er is a rare treasure? It is not certain that there are people with ulterior motives who have evil intentions. All disasters come out of the mouth, and if you say too much, you will lose. You are too young to understand the dangers of the world. Sometimes, it's often your best friend who stabs you in the back. ”
Jiang Yuanchen listened, his heart was convinced, he was in awe, and just wanted to speak, but he heard his sister say again: "Brother, do you know that our sister and brother get along, there are contradictions, and there are opinions, whether it is right or wrong. Who bows first? ”
"Hey, since I bow my head first, who dares to let you bow your head." Jiang Yuanchen said with a look of grievance.
"Oh, why don't you dare let me bow my head first?"
"That's not because ......" Jiang Yuanchen was embarrassed to give the real reason.
Jiang Xinyao smiled: "If you don't say it, I know it." So. The third thing I want to tell you today is: Don't let your weaknesses be a reason for others to be fearless. ”
"Sister, is it because the old lady feels that she owes Aunt Zhou, this has become a reason for Aunt Zhou to have no fear." Jiang Yuanchen's mouth suddenly opened.
Jiang Xinyao said: "Well, it's the same. Our sister and brother are the same mother, and the elder sister has something to rely on to coerce. Just amuse, harmless; What if someone did it on purpose? This is the beginning of the trouble. Do you understand? ”
Where did Jiang Yuanchen hear this? Dazed and overwhelmed, she looked at Xin Yao.
Xin Yao knew that some words had to be carefully pondered before she could understand, and said with a smile: "Brother, we are sisters and brothers, you only need to remember a little." My sister will never hurt you, just as my brother will always protect me. ”
Jiang Yuanchen returned to the study with the brocade box in his hand, sat all night, and got up as usual to practice martial arts and go to school the next day.
I didn't find out until Xin Yao got up. The brocade box was quietly placed on her dressing table.
Jiang Xinyao smiled, as bright as a pearl.
……
The old lady recently helped the second master look at a few families, but she was always not satisfied. It's either that the family is low, or the girl's family is a concubine.
It's still Mama Qian's words, the house will only be filial piety next month, and the second master or official will be reinstated, or go further, and they will all wait and see. At this time, it is really high to marry, low is not enough, it is better to wait for the second master to settle down, and it is not too late to see each other when the time comes.
The old lady thought about it again and again, and sent someone to find her younger son, and the two discussed in the room for a long time, and on the second day, there was a letter to the capital.
Jiang Xinyao recently unexpectedly received a letter from the second sister in Beijing, which only quoted a poem from her predecessors:
The building leans on the spring river 100 feet high, and the smoke has not yet been seen.
Pieces of flowers fly in the wind and butterflies, and the horizontal bridge under the willow shade is over, and the day is long and tonight.
Xin Yao watched it, and was depressed for several days.
This is a poem of resentment, about a woman in the boudoir, lonely and depressed, who has survived the long day, but can't survive the long night of gloomy misery.
After being bored for a few days, Xin Yao still asked Weiyun to send the second sister's letter to Aunt Du privately. She is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, she can save the suffering, and the only one who can save her is the second sister herself. Since she has chosen this path and married such a person, what kind of life she will live and what she will live like, the second sister knows it.
Self-harm, narcissism, and self-pity are addictive and unbeneficial. A wise woman, no matter what the situation, will not put herself in a difficult situation and live depressed.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xinyao still replied to the letter, and there were only four sentences:
Good is like green pine, evil is like a flower, and green pine is not as cold as a flower;
One day, heavy frost falls, and I see no flowers in the green pines.
Flowers are fleeting, green pines are unyielding, and Jiang Xinyao only has blessings.
Seeing that her daughter was upset because of the second miss, Gu Shi watched coldly for a few days, but she didn't say much, saying that she was not feeling well, and handed over the matter of taking care of Brother Hao to Xin Yao.
Jiang Xinyao is busy with the operation of three shops, plus an energetic little bit, the days are full of life, how can there be time to be sad and sad.
……
On this day, Jiang Yuanchen just got out of school, and was pulled into the carriage by Shen Li.
That Shen Li was dressed in an evergreen robe, spread out like a cloud.
He was half-leaning in the car, his dark eyes raised silently, and he seemed to smile and said: "Brother Chen, two days after my father's birthday, I am not by his old man's side all the year round, and I want to buy a good jade for him." I heard that the things in Jinjue Pavilion are very good, I don't have a few friends who call me brothers and sisters in Suzhou Mansion, so I came to you today and asked you to help me palm my eyes. ”
Jiang Yuanchen subconsciously touched the silver in his arms, and sighed again and again: "Brother Shen, go to that place, you have to bring enough silver." ”
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Chen has already been there, and I have found the right person this time." Shen Li couldn't laugh at the end.
Jiang Yuanchen's face turned slightly red when he thought of that embarrassment. He said with palpitations: "I went there once, and I brought a few hundred taels of silver." Before entering the door, I felt that I was a master, majestic and high-spirited, and my back was straighter than any other. Who knew until I entered the door. The little silver I carried in my arms was only enough to buy a hairpin, and it was still the most inconspicuous kind. ”
Shen Lijun raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Okay, what hairpin does Brother Li buy, but who do you give it to?" ”
Jiang Yuanchen said honestly: "I see that my sister always wears the white hosta on her head, it has been a few years, and she has not changed it, so I want to buy it and give it to her." ”
Shen Li said: "Oh, it seems. Your brother and sister have an extraordinary relationship. Does she like the hairpin you give? ”
Jiang Yuanchen straightened his chest and smiled happily: "That's natural, she and my mother are the closest to each other." My sister said that I would give her a thread. She rejoiced. ”
Shen Li sighed thoughtfully: "This reminds me of my two sisters, at home, aren't they the closest to me?" Now that they are married, it is rare to see each other all year round. Even if he comes back, his brother-in-law is long, and his brother-in-law is short. It hurts! ”
Jiang Yuanchen only felt that this was very intimate, and said in frustration: "This is also something that I am worried about. If one day, my sister goes out, and no one makes me new clothes, and I don't care about studying, hey......"
Shen Li smiled evilly: "Oh. Brother Chen, your sister is still in charge of your studies. ”
Jiang Yuanchen was immersed in his emotions and didn't notice it: "Didn't I tell you earlier?" I didn't even have anything to eat because of her. My fourth sister is good at learning. If you are a man, you will be able to accomplish great things. ”
Shen Li's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "It is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented." The woman in the boudoir, knowing a few words, is enough, how can she achieve great things? Brother Chen's words are exaggerated! ”
Jiang Yuanchen was very unconvinced: "Brother Shen, what you said, that's an ordinary vulgar fan. It's not me who blows, my fourth sister...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”
Shen Liqi said: "Okay, why don't you say it again?" ”
Jiang Yuanchen's face was a little strange, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "It's nothing, anyway, I know that she is a good one, so it's okay." ”
Shen Li was secretly shocked. When did this stupid boy become wary of me?
While talking, the carriage came to the door of Jinjue Pavilion, and a sharp-eyed man in the shop had already stepped forward to raise the curtain, and the two waiters got off.
"Two masters, please come inside."
Shen Li was not in a hurry, opened the fan, and shook it twice, looking like a rich son.
Jiang Yuanchen squinted at Shen Li's calm and relaxed appearance, and his admiration arose, and his heart was still more courageous than me. How did he know that Shen Li was carrying more than two thousand taels of silver tickets in his arms, and with more than one silver, his spirit was naturally enough.
Shen Li raised his eyes and saw that the plaque of Jinjue Pavilion was hanging high, and there was a couplet on the side: There are tears in the pearl of the moon in the sea, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. The word is a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and it is three points into the wood.
When I entered the room, I saw eight candlesticks hanging high in the air above my head, and three counters on the left-hand side, and pure white rabbit fur was laid out on the counter as a cushion cloth. On the right hand, there are three curly grass pattern treasure pavilions, and delicate items are placed in a staggered manner.
Shen Li looked at it carefully, secretly frightened.
The young man has long been trained with a pair of discerning eyes, looking at the two of them with great style, either rich or expensive, and said diligently: "Two masters, the second floor of our store is personally received by the shopkeeper, and the things are all treasures, but do you want to go upstairs to have a look?" ”
Shen Li unfolded the folding fan and slowly fanned the wind, pretending to say, "Brother Chen, take a look." ”
Jiang Yuanchen was shy, and he said with little confidence: "Brother Shen, it's good for me to look at the things below." ”
The sharp-eyed guy had already recognized who the person was, and said with a smile: "This young master, it's defenseless to look at it." Our owner said, the last time we sold your hairpin, it was expensive, and as long as you come next time, we will definitely give you a good price. Two of you, upstairs please. ”
Jiang Yuanchen glanced at the guy suspiciously, and said indignantly: "I'll just say that your shop is black, a small hairpin, it sells for a few hundred taels, I ......"
ps:
Gritted his teeth today for three watches, and there will only be two shifts from tomorrow, so I can't help you! (..)
