Chapter 40: Do You Know! Do you know (I)
The old lady sat on the kang mat, condescending, and her eyes were pale and colorful.
The people watched quietly to listen to the details.
I saw the old lady sigh a few times, circled the people in the house, and then beckoned to the third girl, Zhuang Ying, and the fourth girl, Zhuang Yu. The two walked slowly, and one handed out a hand to the old lady.
The old lady held their hands and said, "Recently, I rebuilt the Buddha hall and planned to worship the Buddha and cultivate my body. I have watched you grow up year after year, and I have passed my birthday year after year, although I am aging fast, I do not regret it, I am very happy for you, and I am also happy for your wife's hard work. In the past, I didn't make a Buddhist hall, because there were old knots that had not been resolved, and the Buddha offerings in the old house in the south of the city were moved back to my central house. I will see the Buddha every day and worship sincerely, so that you can be safe and smooth, the business of business Qi Hongshun, the official career of the official is open, the big peace, the small people. It's all smooth, and it's not in vain that my hard work is in vain. Today I say this, you are or surprised, please don't blame it, people are not plants and trees, you should move with your heart, today and the past, different words. If only you knew my hard work. ”
Seeing that everyone was full of doubts and puzzled, the old lady smiled again: "Please be safe in the future, you will be exempted, for so many years, you have come to me every day, and you are also annoyed." It's time for your next generation to say hello to you, your own business! If there is something I need to know, let me know in advance, and remember to send one or two pieces of delicious food, which is your kindness and courtesy, and I won't say anything if you don't have it. You are not allowed to speculate on other reasons, and there are no other related reasons for my plans today. It's an idea that has been extremely unpleasant in our house for the past year. As for the establishment of the Buddha hall, I mainly focus on meditation, and I have invited my sister-in-law from outside to guide the Buddha. On weekdays, if you have something to do, you can deliver a post outside and spread the word, and you don't have to come to Shouzhongju if you have nothing to do. ”
When I heard it suddenly, I speculated in my heart, but it was not easy to ask. They turned their heads to look at Yu Qi, trying to see some answer from the way she looked at her face.
However, Yu Qi also suddenly heard it and was shocked.
In the end, Yu Qi thought that it was pure light to come to Zhuangfu, and the old lady did it in order to avoid people's eyes.
In addition to Yu Qi thinking so, Dongfu's grandmother also thinks so.
Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother looked at each other, smiled slightly, and roughly understood in their hearts, and Lingxi figured it out.
The old lady said again: "If that's the case, I have to think about the girl." I can't bear to let the girl move to Xifu. stayed in Zhongfu, and I was afraid that she would be bored. I thought about it and thought I should be with my sisters. As a big family, we understand one family, and those who don't understand seem to be four. Needless to say, the wives have one thing to do, or they have nothing to do, and they can't meet in one place. These are not conducive to the peace of the home. I would like to see my children and grandchildren full of children, and I would like to see my children and grandchildren laughing on their knees. ”
These words, the old lady came from the heart. After speaking, he sank for a while and wiped away his tears.
When the wives heard this, tears came out of their eyes, and they looked very guilty.
When the girls saw the wives wiping away their tears, they also wiped them back. The second girl, Zhuang Qi, and the fourth girl, Zhuang Yu, had a holiday, which has not yet been resolved, and when I heard the old lady say that, I thought that the old lady blamed herself.
So, Zhuang Qi stepped forward, knelt down, and said, "Old lady, I was wrong. ”
The old lady took off Zhuang Ying's hand and asked her to help her sister get up.
Zhuang Ying went to help. Zhuang Qian couldn't bear it, and said with tears in his eyes: "I shouldn't have made fun of my fourth sister that day, blame me for not knowing how to get along with my sisters, which made the old lady feel depressed." I'm worried about us. ”
The old lady motioned for Zhuang Qi to get up, and when she saw Zhuang Qi getting up, she said, "As a sister, you should be sensible." I'm not blaming you. In the future, if you look like a sister, I will see the Buddha. I don't blame anyone for what I said today. Just to say, it is necessary to let you know what I think. I just said I want peace and harmony, how can I deal with this? I won't go to the tortoise school, and I heard that there is a foreign school outside, but I won't let me go. The red-haired and green-eyed savages, after following them for a long time, their original black hair and yellow face are gone. The ancients often said that Handan learned to walk, but he didn't learn his steps, and if he lost all his steps, he couldn't walk. Your second brother is also so out of tune, causing trouble everywhere, I think again, why not take advantage of the fact that the sisters are not married, the brothers are not married, be quiet for a few years, be solid and solid, and read the books of sages. In the end, it also brought you together. ”
When the wives heard this, they quickly got up and knelt down, and said one after another: "The old lady thinks far." The old lady was exhausted. The old lady is Hou Zefu. ”
The old lady motioned for everyone to get up and sit back, and then said, "If it is not necessary to have a garden for them to play and read, it is not unnecessary, but one person must be set aside to take care of it." In my opinion, Dongfu and Beifu, choose one! You don't have to worry about the West Mansion and the Southern Mansion, and you don't have the ability to take care of it, even if you give them the silver to use. Are you weird? Why do I do this? To tell you the truth, the partial houses in the East Mansion are about to be born, and the ones in the North Mansion are also in front of you. I want to let the children who were born smell the sound of books, ink characters, and have their brothers and sisters as role models, not afraid that they will not be successful in the future. ”
When the Qin family and the Cao family heard the old lady arrange this, they felt strange in their hearts, and they had nothing to say. First, there are pregnant people in the Qin family's mansion who are concubines, and so are the Cao family's mansions. The palms and backs of the hands, all the beatings are from their own families, lifting people in the open, but not slapping the wives in the face secretly? It's worth thinking about and recalling.
Therefore, the Qin family is even more unkind to Aunt Xiao and the Cao family is even more unkind to Aunt Nazha. The old lady pointed like this, but she didn't pay much attention to these two aunts? Of course, this is not the first time the old lady has behaved.
Everyone didn't dare to talk about it, but listened quietly, and when the old lady saw them like this, she urged: "You choose one place, the East Mansion and the North Mansion." After choosing, I will make the decision in public, and I will not regret it. ”
Ladies, you look at me, I look at you.
The girl and the gentleman were silent at first, but when they heard the old lady say this, they exchanged some heads, and gradually chattered, and the girl was funny, and also came to point fingers and participate in the selection of landing.
Cao Shi was quiet on the side, feeling that if he didn't speak, it seemed that the status of the master was not enough to be assertive, so he smiled at Qin. Qin Shi pulled out a slight smile, which was a response, but he didn't say anything.
So, Cao said: "It's all in our house today, I don't say a word, it seems that I'm stingy and lose our master's share." But I took the initiative to solicit this, and it seemed that I did not respect my wife enough. Then I'll let my wife go back and set up a school in Dongfu to read to the children, okay? ”
Qin Shi responded: "The old lady * row, it's the same everywhere." The territory of Beifu is large, and in your Beifu, I think it is very suitable to take care of you carefully. Come to our East Mansion, the eldest girl and the eldest aunt are busy every day, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of them, after all, I am not as capable as you are to manage the whole mansion. This is rough, but it is not rough. I didn't lose the face of our Dongfu, and I demolished the family temple to carry you to the Beifu. That's exactly what happened. ”
When Cao heard this, his heart was dark, obviously, Qin was unwilling to accept the offer, and he also raised his ability in his words.
However, Cao Shi didn't dare to be arrogant, she was cautious, pretending to prevaricate: "Where is the wife, I am just doing things under the jurisdiction of the old lady and the wife." In the end, it was completed under the attention of the old lady and the ladies. My wife has invincible kung fu in the world, and it should not be difficult to manage the children. Occasionally, I can teach them to keep fit! ”
After listening to this, the old lady coughed a few times. Yes, the old lady does not promote martial arts. Now that the Cao family has taken this out again, it will definitely attract the suspicion of the old lady.
Zhuang Xuan realized this, and stared at Cao Shi with a grunt, glaring.
Cao Shi saw Zhuang Xuan's prompt in a daze, and immediately realized that his words were inappropriate, and quickly changed his words: "I said this casually." In the end, only reading is expensive. So he said no more.
Seeing their words and performances, the county lord couldn't help laughing, and said, "Old lady, it's not difficult to choose such things, just let the children decide." After all, it is the children's world, we have settled for them, and they will talk to us when they are unhappy! Why bother with the two wives. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense." So he asked the children, "Have you come up with the results?" ”
Zhuang Yu was about to say, Zhuang Ju had already spoken, and said, "Let's draw lots!" It's also fair to catch where it is. I'd rather be in our house, eating, drinking, and having fun, all kinds of pen, ink, books, and paper, and everything I want. You don't have to bring your own when you come. ”
The tone was a little louder, and when the old lady heard this, she shook her head and laughed, but she didn't say anything.
Zhuang Yu was about to say, but when he heard Zhuang Xuan express his meaning, he closed his mouth and slammed his brother Zhuang Pu.
Zhuang Xuan said again: "Draw lots for the third sister and the fourth sister to catch, today they are birthday stars, they should show their hands." This is a big gift from the old lady. ”
Speaking of gifts, the old lady raised her hand to signal, stopped talking, she beckoned to Zhu'er, Zhu'er knew it, retreated outside, and received two packages from nowhere, both of which were sealed with red paper. There was a silk pasted on it, and there were words on the silk.
The word "north" was inscribed, and the old lady gestured to Zhuang Ying.
The inscription "East", the old lady gestured to Zhuang Yu.
After that, the old lady said: "When your second sister talks about gifts, I will give them first." This is my gift. ”
In an instant, the atmosphere condensed by the nervousness just now melted, and everyone looked friendly, smiled and whispered to each other. Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu received the gifts, knelt down and thanked the old lady.
Because the old lady opened the head of the gift-giving, the ladies hurriedly followed, and the girls also began to give. After a while, Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu's girls hugged a bunch, and they couldn't finish hugging, so they asked the idle girls outside to help.
Wait for Zhuang Hawk's turn to give gifts.
When Zhuang Jue took out the gift, he was very shy, he first thanked Yu Qi and nodded, and then gave the gift to others. While handing it to the two younger sisters, he said, "I don't have any good gifts, I hope the two younger sisters don't dislike it." ”
The rest of the people's gifts were sealed boxes, but Zhuang Di's gift was a two-scroll painting.
Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Yu were curious, urging them to open and see.
Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu were embarrassed and looked embarrassed. The old lady said, "It's okay, let's take a look." I'm curious, too! ”
Before opening the scroll, Yu Qi gave him the feather pearls he made, which were contained in two boxes, and the outer ones were delicately wrapped. When he gave it, Yu Qi smiled and said: "My gift is the lightest, just a leaf, please don't dislike it." ”
Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu thanked again.
Then, he opened the scroll given by Zhuang Di.
The painting was spread out, and everyone gathered around.
