Chapter 389, Host
"This, I know, is actually not the sun going down, because the place where we live is a spherical object, called the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun, turning from west to east, so it is the east that lights up first." Shuhiko said to play, and also demonstrated it with two plates.
Xiao Yi looked at Ziqing with questions, Ziqing nodded and said, "This is the doctrine of the Westerners, and the Westerners discovered that the place where we live is round. When you have the opportunity, you can also learn some Westerner knowledge. In fact, science should know no borders, as long as it is useful to us and more advanced than us, we should learn from others, of course, we also have something better than them. We should not be presumptuous about this. ”
Ziqing knew that these children were not small, and these words were said consciously, and in the future, they might be able to use them.
Ziqing talked with the children, and took them to play eagle catching chickens, throwing sandbags, and skipping rope. It wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky that everyone dispersed.
Early the next morning, I said goodbye to Xiaoyi, Ziqing's heart was also a little lost, these three children, unconsciously lived in Qingyuan for a month, and it seems that they are also Ziqing's relatives, if Ziqing is not worried that it will involve too much in the future, Ziqing really hopes that they will come over often, especially the one named Xiaoyi, the attachment to Ziqing is really not ordinarily deep.
Seeing Ziqing's expression, Shen asked, "Since you can't bear them, why did you tell them that in the future, let them not come, and go to other places to learn more?" Look at those children, sad. ”
"Mother, I'm also so contradictory, you said that people came from afar, and I can't speak coldly, they are all children, how can I lose my temper with the children? I can only treat them well, but I'm afraid it will take a long time. A pattern is formed. As soon as the holidays arrive, they come here, and they keep saying that they want to be beautiful, but can we climb that kind of family? In case of. In the future, they really want to carry Yanran in to be small, what should I do? So, I told them not to come in the future. Just take this as a good memory of growing up, and once remembered that there was such an aunt who really looked at them, and it was okay. ”
Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "How old is the child?" You're thinking far ahead. Besides, the capital is thousands of miles away, how can you come often? The children are also a fresh picture. You put it down, I'm afraid that after two years, you beg people to come, but they won't come? ”
Ziqing smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so, right?" ”
Shen asked a few more questions about when Lin Kangping would come back, and whether the glass factory in Hangzhou was going well.
These Ziqing really don't know that Lin Kangping just brought a letter to Ziqing after arriving in Hangzhou, and later. There was no more letter, and Ziqing estimated that he also wanted to finish it early and rush back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he didn't have time to write a letter to Ziqing.
"On that day, Mrs. Xia meant to raise money to buy shares, right? I interrupted, I haven't been here for a few days, you said, Yu'er is my daughter. Can I not think about her? She's fine. When she opened her mouth, she wanted to buy shares, thinking that her family had a surplus of money? There was only her son in her eyes. I'm afraid that we will make Xia's son-in-law suffer. Shen sighed.
"Mother, things in this world are really here and there, at the beginning, when we married the Xia family, I thought that although the Xia family is a family of eunuchs, we have a big brother, and it is barely a high climb, and later, to the little four, it is really a high climb to the Fu family, who knew that the Fu family was so easy-going, and the Xia family was more snobbish. Now, it's only been a few years, and we don't have to look at their faces anymore, but they are all coming to us one by one. ”
Ziqing's words are not unreasonable, although Zifu and Zixi are not as high as the Fu family's grades, but these two are Beijing officials, both of them are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the future is naturally bright if the emperor can speak.
Shen Shi also smiled when he said this: "No, when the Fu family was originally decided, I was still worried that Xiao Si would be angry." Speaking of which, I still owe them a host, and it just so happens that you're also idle, so I'll send them a post, right? ”
While the two were talking, Shu Rui came in with Yan Ran, Ziqing didn't mention these things, Shen accompanied the children and laughed for a while, and then left.
In the next few days, Ziqing was busy preparing clothes for Shurui to go to the county school, the child grew up quickly, the clothes were basically changed once a year, and Ziqing was basically hands-on to the needlework of his family, so he was very busy for a few days, and he sent Shurui away on the other day.
Shen Shi watched Ziqing busy with the children's clothes, and remembered when she was young, at this time, she was also busy giving Zifu a few clothes for school, but she didn't expect that all these years had passed in a flash, and now it was Ziqing's turn, and she was very emotional.
Shen invited Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xia to come on the second day of the eighth month, originally according to Ziqing's meaning, it was better to be in Qingyuan, but Shen's meaning, since it was her host, it was better to be at home, besides, there was no one at home, and there was enough space.
Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xia entered the door at the same time, it is estimated that the two of them made an appointment, and when Mrs. Xia saw Ziqing, she asked, "Ziqing, are your guests gone?" ”
"After walking for almost a month, my mother meant that she wanted to call everyone to come over and gather earlier, but it was just in time for a mid-year festival, and it was just a matter of inviting everyone. I'm afraid that the two of you can't wait, thinking that my mother is going to pay the bill. Ziqing said with a smile.
"But no, if your mother doesn't invite me again, I'm going to come uninvited, I don't have any children at home, I can't even hear a laugh, it's better to come to Ziqing, it's good to watch other people's children frolic." Mrs. Xia complained.
Mrs. Fu was holding Yanran in her hand, and when she heard Mrs. Xia's words, she said: "Mrs. Xia's words are very true, I also think that Mrs. Xia's words are good, several sons are not around, and there is such a caring daughter living next to her." If you want me to say, my sister-in-law's vision was really good, and finding a son-in-law like Lin Kangping is equivalent to having an extra son. ”
"Ah, speaking of your family's Kangping, haven't you come back from Hangzhou yet? But you've been out for a few days, haven't you? Mrs. Xia asked.
"But it's been a few days, and I haven't heard a letter, and I don't know if things are going well or not? It's really a rush to death. Ziqing knew what Mrs. Xia wanted to know, so she hurriedly said first.
"Speaking of which, we Jiahe these days, it's time to give birth, and there is no letter, it is estimated that the letter will not come until the birth is over, and I am really anxious to die. It's so far away that you can't take a look at it. Madame Fu sighed.
"No, my eldest daughter-in-law has no news, she should be in front of the fourth daughter-in-law for a few days, just these days, if it weren't for the situation at home, I want to go and see a few of them, you say, five of the six children are in the capital, can you not worry about it?" Shen said.
"Okay, mother, I invited the guests to come, and I don't want to complain here, let's change the topic to a happier one, I guess these days, there should be a letter coming, and when the sister-in-law and the fourth brother and sister are born, let's celebrate with wine." Ziqing said with a smile.
"Isn't that the case? Nature is as it should be. Shen responded.
The four of them moved to the west room, the card table had been set, Xiao Fan hugged Yanran and left, Zeng Ruixiang was idle these days, and he began to teach in the school again, and Ziwen was indeed too busy to be alone.
Therefore, there was no interference from outsiders at home, the four of them played cards on the table, and Xiaozi took Shi Pozi to prepare food in the stove room.
"Ziqing, your guests are gone, did you say when you will come again? I think they are very close to you, not like an aunt you just knew, but like an aunt. Mrs. Xia asked casually.
"Children, it's all nature, whoever is good to him, naturally kisses whom. You said that people came from afar, how could I let people be left out in the cold, I had to do my best, where did I say that my in-laws' wife said it was so good? Ziqing replied lightly.
"This is true, the child's heart and eyes are the cleanest, and at a glance he can distinguish who is really good to him and who is false perfunctory. However, Ziqing, speaking of which, your Kangping's career is not small, in case, I mean in case, what difficulties he encounters, wouldn't it be better if someone helped him? I look at these children, but I'm afraid that they won't be low. Mrs. Fu asked.
"Oh, it's not that, our big family, the foundation is still shallow, especially in the capital, there are more rich and powerful people, usually, people can't find a way to come to the door, we are good, people come to the door. If you don't say it, it's better for us to have a good life. Sitting at home, wealth can also fall from the sky, it depends on whether Ziqing wants to pick it up. Mrs. Xia smiled.
Ziqing was a little puzzled, Mrs. Xia's personality Ziqing naturally knew it, but Mrs. Fu's words had to make Ziqing think about it a little, could it be that Mrs. Fu also hoped that Ziqing would rely on this relationship to support Zixi in the future?
Ziqing naturally doesn't know that people who have been circling in officialdom for a long time naturally think much longer than Ziqing, and moreover, their personalities have to be inserted without stitches, not to mention, the ready-made opportunities are in front of them, who can not be tempted? Although Mrs. Fu is not as snobbish as Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Fu's vision and mind are definitely no worse than Mrs. Xia. Therefore, Mrs. Fu deliberately cooperated with Mrs. Xia to investigate.
Ziqing naturally didn't know what Mrs. Fu thought, she still respected Mrs. Fu, and didn't think of Mrs. Fu as being in the same group as Mrs. Xia, but Mrs. Fu's words still made Ziqing pay attention.
So, after thinking about it, Ziqing said: "Those high-ranking households, how can we, the small families, climb at will?" One didn't get it right, but I'm afraid that it will be self-defeating, if people have the heart to help, our family's affairs, people can know with a little care. Why bother us to paste it ourselves, it is counterproductive if we don't get it, you say, isn't that reasonable? (To be continued.)
