Chapter 16: The Four-Year Covenant

Become a boudoir?

Mrs. Zhang was stunned.

"You're going to be a boudoir?" Mrs. Zhang felt that she had heard it wrong, and looked Hu Dajing up and down.

"Yes." Hu Dajing met the gaze of the old lady Zhang and pulled Ah Jin's paws, Ah Jin grunted twice in dissatisfaction, "Four years is enough." ”

Mrs. Zhang laughed, this child used to be only arrogant in behavior, but now his words are not forgiving, let alone forgiving himself.

"Jing Niang, do you know that the Thirteen Classics will take six years to study, not counting poetry, law, calligraphy, and arithmetic, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in four years." Mrs. Zhang smiled and shook her head.

As the name suggests, the boudoir teacher is a teacher who teaches the knowledge of the little ladies of famous families, and the husband and the master have the same truth, but the gender is different, and the requirements for women's talent are extremely high.

Hu Dajing knew that the most famous boudoir teacher was Li Qingzhao.

"What if I could do it?" Hu Dajing asked.

Mrs. Zhang took the tea from the steward's hand, took a sip, and said solemnly: "You can do it, don't mention the divorce today, I will apologize to you, you can also make a request, no matter what the request, the Zhang family will agree, if I don't live to that time, my grandson can apologize to you on my behalf, this request has been counted." But what can't you do? ”

"If I can't do it, I will personally go to Zhang's house to apologize, Zhang Yusen and I will return to the bridge in the future, and the road will return to the road, which has nothing to do with it, and your Zhang family can also make a request to me, and I will do it."

"Good!" Mrs. Zhang didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "A word is a certainty." ”

"Sometimes you can't survive the time, so it's better to leave the credentials."

"That's good, I also bothered Hu Dalang to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Father Hu nodded in a daze, and hurriedly ordered someone to pick it up.

After the things were brought, Mrs. Zhang got up with the support of Steward Wu, and the steward said worriedly: "Ah Lang, it's still a slave to write on your behalf." ”

"You don't have to worry." Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "I can still write these words." ”

When he arrived at the table, the hand that lifted the pen trembled a little, and Mrs. Zhang held the wrist holding the pen with his other hand.

Hu Dajing looked at the vigorous and powerful words on the paper and admired it very much.

After writing, Mrs. Zhang asked Hu Dajing on the side: "Do you think it's okay to write like this?" ”

Hu Dajing smiled: Zhang Aweng, I can't read. "I don't feel embarrassed at all.

Of course, Hu Dajing knew that what Mrs. Zhang wrote was right, but the original owner was illiterate.

"Then Hu Dalang, come and see."

Daddy Hu glanced at it and praised: "Zhang Gong's good words are really worthy of his reputation!" ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled but did not speak, picked up the pen and wrote another copy, and ordered the steward to take out the Zhang family's family seal and solemnly stamp it on the paper.

Father Hu also stamped the Hu family seal on behalf of Hu Dajing, and this agreement officially came into effect.

Mrs. Zhang left one copy of the agreement to Hu Dajing, and the other to Steward Wu, who put it in the pear blossom wooden box that originally contained the marriage book and tokens.

It's done, and there's no point in staying here.

Mrs. Zhang got up to say goodbye, Daddy Hu insisted on sending him off, and the group left in a big way.

The eldest lady stood beside Hu Dajing and looked into the distance: "Jing Niang, you work hard!" ”

"I will." Hu Dajing nodded and retired.

"Wait."

Hu Dajing turned to look at the eldest lady.

"Master, what else is going on?"

"Tomorrow, you and your aunt will go to Taiming Lake on the outskirts of the city with the post sent by Mr. Feihua." The eldest lady looked at Hu Dajing's puzzled gaze, "You don't have to look at me like this, since you have the idea of studying, as a housewife, you should support it, not only for you, but also for me, but also for the face of the Hu family." ”

Hu Dajing smiled: "Thank you, master." ”

The eldest lady looked at the girl's straight waist and straight steps, and muttered, "I also have children, and she is just a child." ”

……

Mrs. Zhang's trip took a lot of energy, and after returning home, Dr. Li hurried over when he heard the inquiry, and after diagnosing him, he pondered for a while, and wrote a prescription to the maid.

"Father's body ......" Zhang Tingshi looked at the bed through the bead curtain, and asked in a low voice, "How is my father's body?" ”

Dr. Li pointed outside and motioned to go out to talk.

Standing in the courtyard, Zhang Tingshi said anxiously: "Doctor Li, what's wrong with my father's body?" ”

Doctor Li stroked his beard and was a little puzzled: "Zhang Gong's body is not only unhindered, but the old man looks at his pulse as calm, not as disordered as yesterday, but his body is a little weak." ”

Zhang Tingshi sighed.

"What did you eat and what did you do today?"

Zhang Tingshi was dumbfounded and ordered the maidservant to let Steward Wu come over.

"I also just heard that my father went to Hu's house and just came back."

When he returned home, he heard that Mrs. Zhang had gone to Hu's house, and he was angry and annoyed, and he wanted to punish the subordinates who were serving around him, but he knew that these people couldn't persuade his stubborn father, so he had to give up.

Dr. Li nodded.

The honest-looking, honest steward Wu stepped forward and was about to salute.

Zhang Tingshi waved his hand to signal that it was no longer necessary.

"Steward Wu, let me ask you, what did the old lady eat and do at the Hu family today?"

Steward Wu recalled: "The old lady only took a sip of tea, just doing ......" He glanced at Dr. Li and didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhang Tingshi didn't know that Mrs. Zhang went to the Hu family to withdraw from the marriage, let alone the fact that the marriage was not withdrawn: "If there is anything to cover up, don't explain it quickly." ”

Steward Wu had no choice but to tell everything that happened in the Hu family, including the fact that Mrs. Zhang insisted on coming back when she came back.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Tingshi's face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "The old lady is old and confused, and you follow Hu too!" You've been by his side for so many years, don't you know what his body is like now? ”

Steward Wu hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and said, "The slave really can't persuade Ah Lang." ”

"Envoy, don't be angry." Dr. Li persuaded: "In the old man's opinion, this is not a bad thing. ”

"Doctor Li, how can you see it?"

Doctor Li glanced at Steward Wu, and Zhang Tingshi ordered him to go down.

The two of them strolled along the road.

"A person with a serious heart disease can say a little thing, and he can be overwhelmed." Doctor Li said, "If the old man's guess is right, these days of divorce are like a stone pressing on Zhang Gong's heart, which is heavy, causing him to be overly worried and get sick." ”

"So." Zhang Tingshi said, "What does Dr. Li mean is that my father has actually been troubled by the divorce these days? ”

"Not bad."

Zhang Tingshi remembered that when he heard the news that Hu Dajing was hit by a stone, he was also distressed that his son would never be able to marry a physically defective girl in the future, so he told Mrs. Zhang his concerns.

At this point, I feel a little guilty.

"But this kid is also interesting." Zhang Jianshi remembered the four-year covenant.

"I'm afraid I can't do it in four years."

"Being able to work hard for four years is what makes that kid rare."
