Chapter 31 Many Commandments
Shen Zetang admonished: "In Yizhili, the greedy man can be cheap; In the Huizhi, the contemptible husband can be lenient, that is, the life of the benevolent, although the desire is not benevolent, what can be done? With the Mo family and his own inferiority, with Meng's mother as the third move of the son's family, you can rest the people regardless of their location! ”
It means to live in the land of benevolence and courtesy, greedy people have become honest and generous, and narrow-minded people have become benevolent, if they live in the land of benevolence and courtesy, they want to be unkind and unjust, and it is difficult to do, even Mozi sighs that the environment creates people, not to mention the saying that Meng's mother moved three times.
"Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in my dynasty, a place of poetry, books and etiquette, the prison students have the ambition to study hard, Hongru erudite exchanges, only by living in it, focusing on learning, you can accept the strengths of others, go to your own shortcomings, and may have a lot of achievements in the future." Shen Zetang paused and then said: "Qinglin is the eldest grandson of the long house, and he is in the year of the weak crown, and he should have his own judgment on which is more important. “
Shen Qinglin was very ashamed, and said with a purple face: "Qinglin knows that he is wrong. ”
Qia Xujing came over to look for him, whispered a few words in his ear, Shen Zetang bowed his head, got up to Tian Jiang, and whispered softly: "I wanted to accompany you here all the time, but I have official business that needs to be dealt with urgently........ If anyone is disrespectful to you, say to your mother, or wait for me to return. “
Tian Jiang shook her head, she was the master of the harem in her previous life, and she would not be easily bullied by anyone.
However, this kind of Shen Er Ye feels very fresh, but it is also a little moving.
"Official business is important, I have my own measure, and the second master doesn't have to worry too much." She said with a twinkle in her eyes.
Shen Zetang smiled slightly.
This girl doesn't know that there have been many disputes in the house since ancient times, not to mention a strong clan like the Shen Mansion, when Mengsheng was very troubled by this, she often sent her grandmother to complain to him.
He reminded his mother several times because of his heavy official duties and inconvenience in interfering in the back house, but with little success, so he didn't care much about it.
"Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged again." He touched Tian Jiang Yanfen's cheeks and cheeks, and went to say goodbye to Old Madam Shen.
....... This is a clueless thing, how can she have suffered any grievances, Tian Jiang pursed the corners of her mouth, and she did not retract her gaze until Second Master Shen's back disappeared outside the brocade curtain.
The nurse brought Shen Li over to salute, and developed the habit of resting in the room every noon.
He also led Shen Qinglin to Old Madam Shen, her eyes were faintly red, and Old Madam Shen said sternly: "What are you crying, a happy day." Shen Er's temperament is gentle and peaceful, and he doesn't care about other people's affairs, so he is happy to discipline his eldest grandson, and he has good words in every word, you have to appreciate it. ”
Shen Qinglin was busy: "The second uncle's precepts are very right, they are all lazy grandchildren, and their mothers have never cried, because they slept late yesterday." That is, he secretly pulled the sleeves of He's shirt.
He Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a steady voice: "What Qinglin said is right, it was that his eyes were red because he was tired last night, and He Zeng cried." ”
"In that case, you can go back and rest." Old Madam Shen's tone softened, and then she instructed Mama Lu: "I got a bag of high-grade bird's nest some time ago, and you can send it to your eldest daughter-in-law to nourish her body when you are free." ”
He hurriedly thanked him, and the two of them came to say goodbye to Tian Jiang again, Tian Jiang got up and returned the salute, glanced at Shen Qinglin, and thought about it: "The most virtuous person cannot be exceeded, the most pure person cannot be dirty, he commands the benevolent, sex is not false, and the Fu is strong, both movement and benevolence, quiet and benevolence, and the cover is invincible and does not exist, how can I choose!" In time, your nephew will become the most virtuous and pure, and you don't need to pay attention to your second uncle's words. “
Shen Qinglin was taken aback, and before she could turn around, she saw that she was already giving the salute to Shen Qingyu, the son of the third room, and Shen Rong, the daughter of the third room, so she had to go out with the He family.
When he got out of the courtyard, He asked strangely: "What did your second uncle and mother say?" “
The second uncle and aunt told him that the most virtuous people are not surpassed, the most innocent people are not defiled, they do not need to borrow external forces, and they are not forced by external forces.
Shen Qinglin never thought that the second uncle would marry another wife, but he was a talented woman full of splendor, and she was still so young .......
He Shi looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help pushing him: "What are you doing?" ”
Shen Qinglin was perfunctory: "It's just some words of consolation." He added: "But what the second uncle said is very true, please ask my mother to pack the cage for me at night, and I will go to the Guozijian tomorrow." ”
After the loss of his husband, he took this son very seriously, and at this time, he thought that it would be rare to see him for a long time, and then thought about his career and future, so he suppressed the taste of sour suffering, and thought about the things next to him, which is not shown here.
.........................
When Tian Jiang served tea and saw her relatives, it was twilight, Mrs. Shen left her for dinner and then went, Cui said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law is eating here, and the second uncle is afraid to be surprised when he goes back. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen also smiled: "I can't figure this out." The maid on the side of the servant also pursed her lips and smiled, Tian Jiang's cheeks flushed, and she said goodbye. Cui Shi sent her out of the courtyard, and chatted enthusiastically with his arms, and then saw the shadow of Fang Fang come back.
In the room, Mrs. Shen was half-leaning on the couch, a maid was beating her legs, and a maid was holding a lotus leaf-style tea tray, and a small celadon cup was placed in the plate, which was smoking and steaming. She stepped forward and took the celadon bowl and walked to the edge of the couch to offer it.
Mrs. Shen took it and ate it, then let Cui sit and asked, is there something wrong?
Cui Shi smiled cautiously: "It's not too serious, yesterday for the second uncle to handle the marriage, the daughter-in-law overnight the income and expenditure into a book, because of the considerable amount, I think it is better to inform the mother." “
Mrs. Shen "um", Cui Shi took out the account book from the sleeve cage, opened it and said: "The second uncle has made a full set of wedding rituals and ceremonies, in addition to the drummers and drums, there are also "sedan chairs", "lanterns", "praise ceremony", "Gao Zhao", "Wang Xiang", "Kitchen Division", "Xi Po" and so on, there are more than 100 people waiting, and the house is for meat noodles in the morning, wine and rice in the middle of the season, and the night dinner is paid by one hundred Wen for the work and food, or six to eight bowls for a seat. Among them, there are fifteen drummers, and each person will be given one silver, and another will be rewarded and rewarded by the musician, and twenty taels of silver. Twenty cooks, in addition to the salary of 500 wen per person, set up a wedding feast of 100 seats, and give the kitchen a reward, which is 15 taels of silver; There are 50 people who do things, and the daily wage is 40 .......... ”
Old Madam Shen frowned and interrupted her: "There is no need to say such a detailed matter, just tell me the total salary of the deacon and the amount of money of various compradors." ”
Cui Shi turned the account book to the last side, looked at it carefully, and said: "The total salary of the one hundred and fifty deacons is five hundred taels, and the purchase of all kinds of colorful silk and firecrackers, eating utensils, and fresh meat, vegetables, grain and oil is one thousand taels of silver, plus miscellaneous others, a total of two thousand silver is insufficient. ”
Old Mrs. Shen was silent, Shen Er's marriage was huge, and it was a bit of a waste.
