One hundred and three, Zifu's worries
Zifu dragged Shen into the study, and when Shen saw that his son was so mysterious, he smiled and said, "What is a rare thing, I have to avoid people from talking about it." ”
"Mother, what I told you, don't panic, maybe I'm thinking too much, of course it's better if I don't."
Seeing his son's formal and serious look, Shen was a little drumming in his heart, and he was busy urging Zifu, who told Shen in detail about the fact that he met Wen San in Ziqing, Anzhou some time ago, and Wen San came to visit him again, and today he went to the countryside to tell Shen in detail.
"It is said that a young master like him, there is no reason to take things to the door, there is no need to go to the countryside, I am worried about what he has in mind about Ziqing, although he is not very old, but such a high-ranking family, there are a lot of aunts and concubines, and there are groups of maids around him, who should understand what should not be understood, who have heard and witnessed since childhood, more or less afraid of understanding. I mean, maybe he doesn't know what his mind is, maybe it's just curiosity, but I don't want Qing'er to be hurt, Qing'er is still young, and I definitely don't know that their kind of family is not something we can climb, in case we are blinded by his superficial brilliance, it will not be good. That kid didn't have much sincerity, and he didn't even tell the truth by name, just said that he could be called Wen San. So my son thought twice, you still don't let your sister go out and deal with his family. Although the girl in the countryside is not as delicate as the city, she doesn't have to hide at home every day and doesn't go out, but her sister is ten years old after all, although she is not a charming city, but she is also very delicate and lovely, especially those eyes, at first glance, they are smart, exquisite, I have a few classmates to see, all praise. ”
Zifu said a lot of this, but the Shen family still didn't react, "No, Qing'er is not yet nine years old, and she is still a child, and the young master of the Wen family looks at it as twelve or thirteen, all of them are children." Besides, what kind of beautiful girl is there in their family, maybe they haven't seen a country girl like your sister. I'm curious. ”
"Mother, I didn't say that he has any thoughts now. I'm just a little worried, you should pay more attention at home. My sister doesn't look like a wild girl in the countryside, and my classmates say that my sister looks like a young lady from a big family in the city. Look at her ingenuity, if it weren't for the watermelons she pounded, how could our family live a good life today. I still don't know how she raised seedlings to let watermelons go on the market for more than half a month, and you look at the fruit trees, chickens and sheep at home, etc., which is not what she tossed. By the way, there is also the lantern, which they only met when they sold the lantern. You don't know that she can read and learn words faster than me. I always feel that these are all made by her little trouble, but fortunately, my sister's personality is easy to be content, and she is safe when she is rich, and she doesn't plan to make much movement, and she knows how to hide it. I just want to live a stable life. ”
Shen listened and thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, "Your father also said it, but it's a pity that she is not a male baby, but your father also said it." In the future, she will not have to worry about our life, and she will definitely have a good life. It's just that what kind of person can match her? Rich people we can't climb and don't want to climb, the family has three wives and four concubines, wronged her, poor people all day long, like me for more than ten years, a lot of people in the family, even can't eat, and today your sister-in-law also said that it is not good to live in the mother-in-law's house, if you can divide the family in the past, it is good to say, I am afraid of marrying a large family to live, there is a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law, it is also a lot of grievances. ”
"Mother, this is still early, there are still several years, don't worry, I will study hard, so that my sister will have a support in the future, and I won't be bullied." This time I went to the provincial capital, I still took her with me, one is that I really need someone around me, and the other is that the watermelons at home should be ripe, and the shopkeeper Zhou should come often, I am worried that the young master of the Wen family will come with him if he is idle, I will take my sister out for two months, and I will cold that kid's heart, nothing is the best. ”
Shen nodded and agreed, and was about to say something more, Zeng Ruixiang went home and was looking for her, Shen hurriedly opened the door to answer, Zeng Ruixiang asked with a smile: "What good thing do you mother and son say behind closed doors?" ”
Before Shen could speak, Zifu spoke first and said, "I told my mother that it is inconvenient to stay in the provincial capital alone for two months, let Qing'er come with me, and it will be much more convenient for me to have her to take care of me." Last time in Anzhou, thanks to her, I didn't have to worry about anything. ”
"I asked you two days ago, you still said no, you can do it alone, anyway, there are classmates, why did you change your mind this time?" Zeng Ruixiang asked.
"It's not much, it's just that if I think about it carefully, there is still Qing'er in convenience, I eat delicious food, and I wash my clothes, which saves me a lot of worry. I was worried that I couldn't do without her because of the family. Zifu explained.
Ziqing happened to come back from the back mountain, carrying a basket of eggs, and when she heard everyone mention her, she asked, "What do you want me to do?" Who's beating my mind again? ”
As soon as she heard that Zifu asked her to go to the provincial capital with her, Ziqing's heart was still a little excited, in a big city, it is always good to go out for a walk, and it is not in vain that she came to ancient times. Ziqing's eyes were shining, and Zifu and Shen glanced at each other, in exchange for Zeng Ruixiang's suspicious gaze.
Suddenly, Zeng Ruixiang patted his head and said: "Look at your trouble, I forgot even about business, Lao Tian, who had just caught the car, sent a letter, and the tooth shop in the city said that there were shops and paddy fields for sale, let us take a look, we can only go early tomorrow morning, Zifu, you will go to class for your father early tomorrow morning, and I will tell you what I want to talk about tomorrow." ”
At the beginning of spring this year, the people in the village saw that the children who had been in school for a year did talk a little differently, and they sent the children over, so that Zeng Ruixiang's private school had more than a dozen children, and the progress was different, Zeng Ruixiang had to be divided into two classes, one morning and one afternoon, although it was hard, but the mood was still good.
Early the next morning, Zeng Ruixiang and Shen went out, and Ziqing had to follow Zifu to the school, one was curious to see Zifu teaching, and the other was to see if the peaches had grown into being stolen by the students. Zifu had no choice but to take her.
Ziqing wanted to find a table to sit down, but Zifu refused, so he had to stand outside the wall and listen to their subdued reading, Ziqing remembered Lu Xun's "Three Flavors Study", the children were shaking their heads and shaking their heads when they endorsed the book, and secretly looked at it, if this was the case, they followed and learned, and after a while, their heads were dizzy, and they couldn't help laughing, afraid that Zifu would hear it, so they quickly ran out.
When Zifu took Zishou and Zixi home at noon, Ziqing asked: "Big brother, why do you have to shake your head when you study, I get dizzy when I shake my head, what else can I remember?" ”
"Do we study and shake our heads? How do I not think? Zishou asked.
Zifu rubbed her head and said, "I'm not dizzy, isn't it good to stand here, I said why are you laughing outside stupidly?" ”
Ziqing touched her head and said, "Big brother is the most annoying, he always likes to mess up my hair." ”
The four of them teased for a while, and the Shen family also came back with a smile on their faces, today's trip was very rewarding, they bought two shops, and bought fifty acres of paddy fields, Shen smiled and said that now the family doesn't do anything for a year, and they can also collect five hundred taels of silver rent.
