31. Moved
Shen Xuan's Washing Sanli was very lively. Chen's father was the enlightenment man for the children in the village. Chen Su was very popular. His Yue family rich man was also a wealthy family in Changshui Village and was a decent family. Now Chen Su has a son, so the Washing Sanli is naturally lively. Especially when Mrs. He took his family with him, the villagers saw the He family, and they were full of compliments and praise, which satisfied Mrs. He's vanity.
He Zijin also brought two of her little toys to give to her cousin. People praised her for being generous and sensible. He smiled and said, "This child is like this, like her father."
He Zijin's mother:...
He Zijin was still teasing, "I think I am like my grandmother. I give me any good things to my grandmother, and I have good things to my brother."
So, the relatives who were uninformed said, "You are all Lao An people who teach you well." These days, An people are not only the title of the imperial edict, but also a kind of honor for middle-aged and elderly women. Of course, you must also have a corresponding respectable status.
When Mrs. He heard that people praised her, her vanity doubled and said humbly, "Where are you too polite."
Chen's mother couldn't believe that the person sitting in the room and talking with a smile was her in-laws. It was so clear that the sky was so clear that not only did the son-in-law become a scholar, but her daughter finally got through. She had to go to Chaoyunguan to fulfill her wish tomorrow!
For a moment, Chen's mother took Shen Xuan out to wash the third place. He Zijin looked at his cousin Chen who was still in his infancy. He hoped that his grandson would not come, and she also cared about other people's grandsons and asked He Zijin, "Is your cousin handsome?"
He Zijin nodded, "It's just too young to play with it." The child really couldn't tell that he was ugly, especially the child who had only been three days old, who felt that he was against his will. Moreover, Shen Xuan looked more like a mother in his eyebrows and eyes, and seemed to be unable to inherit her uncle's appearance gene.
Chen’s mother smiled, “I’ll be able to play with you when my brother grows up.”
I looked at my little cousin who was not very handsome. On the way home, He Zijin asked her mother, "I must be better than my cousin when I was a child."
Shen smiled, "Yes, you're the most beautiful."
My mother He opened her eyes and told lies, "The girl looks like her father."
He Zijin:...
Mrs. He added, "It is more blessed for girls to look like fathers."
He Zijin asked, "I don't believe it. My aunt looks like her grandmother. Isn't it lucky?"
"You know how to shut up when you speak," said He, and said to his granddaughter, spontaneously, explaining to his daughter, "Your aunt is lucky!"
Thinking of his daughter, Mrs. He showed a look of longing, "Your aunt has been in the imperial capital for almost two years."
"My uncle is about to have a spring exam?"
"It's going to be next year." Old Madam He was thinking about it in her stomach, saying, "When will we go to the temple to give your uncle two incense sticks to him and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you, the spring exam, to be successful."
"It's good that my mother wants to go any day. My husband and I will accompany my mother to pray for my sister and brother-in-law." Mrs. He really made a face for Mrs. Shen today, and Mrs. Shen was also very kind and laughed. "My husband in the previous son also talked about his mother's birthday and told me to prepare for my life. Our family will have a good drink and lively drink for a day."
This was originally intended to make Mrs. He, but she waved her hand, "You have this filial piety, what wine should you do? Gong'er just passed the scholar, so let's save some money. This fall, he still has to go to the prefecture for the imperial examination, which is another expense."
He Zijin said quickly, "My father said that I won't take the exam for the juren this year."
"Why don't you take the exam?" Old Madam He's eyebrows stood up, and she was ready for the clothes she wanted to wear as a juren.
He Zijin said, "My father said, Mr. Xu asked him to study for two years before taking the exam."
Old Madam He raised her eyebrows and habitually curled her mouth, "Mr. Xu, the left and right are just juren, can he read articles on juren?"
"Grandma, whisper and ask people to hear it. If others don't say it, you don't understand. You have to say that your father is disrespectful to his teacher." He heard Old Madam He's crazy words, He Zijin scared her as if she was looking.
It was related to his son. Old Madam He lifted the curtain and looked out. There was only one car on the dirt road. Then she felt relieved and said, "Where is someone outside?"
"If you can't see it, it won't be gone." He Zijin raised his mouth and said, "When did you see Mr. Xu, you didn't ask him politely and ask him to take care of my father. Now that my father has just become a scholar, you said that he can't read my father's articles? Grandma, you are so good!" He Zijin gave a thumbs up to express his admiration for Mrs. He was shot by Mrs. He, "Shut up! A girl, I talk too much!" He said it to He Zijin, and it was rare that Mrs. He felt a little uncomfortable on his face.
He Zijin smiled and grabbed two fried peanuts from his little purse and gave one to He Lao Niang. He heard countless flatteries at the Shen family today. Although he choked on He Zijin, he was in a good mood. He took He Zijin's peanuts, peeled them and put a peanut bean in his mouth. He Zijin smiled and said, "I talk too much, gagged!"
Old Mother He almost didn't choke He Zijin to death. Shen scolded his daughter, "You are so big or small, you will be beaten!"
He Zijin said, "My grandmother said yesterday that our family is a scholar and cannot beat children."
Old Madam He swallowed the peanut beans with difficulty and sighed, "Everyone says that a dog at the age of seven or eight is disgusted. You are still far from being seven or eight years old. It's just annoying. What can you do in the future?"
He Zijin spread his hands and said crosstalk, "Cold."
Old lady He forced her to amuse her.
He Gong was driving a car outside, and he almost drove the car into the ditch with a smile.
My mother He choked He Zijin and calmed down from the popularity of being a scholar among her son. When she went home to change her clothes, she asked her son and daughter-in-law to rest. At night, My mother He asked her son about the juren exam.
Mrs. He said, "Since you have passed the scholar, you are in the autumn examination this year, what can you do if you try it? Our home is close to the prefecture, and it is only two or three days to take the bus faster. If you go to the exam, you may not be lucky."
He Gong laughed, "As you said, you can pass the imperial examination even if you are lucky enough, then you will be a juren everywhere."
"Go to go. Go and try it. Even if you don't win, you will have some experience in the autumn exam. At least you have entered the exam room once and you will be familiar with the journey when you go back." Mrs. He insisted, "Besides, it's nothing bad to know a few more people."
He Gongxin won the scholar. Although he was only of average ranking, he might not be unprofitable. He heard what my mother said, He Gong laughed, "I'll listen to my mother."
Old Madam He smiled and said, "That's it. In two days, I will go to the temple with your wife to burn incense, and I will burn it for you, and it will also be prosperous."
He Gong laughed, "My son has become a bystander."
Old lady He patted her son's broad shoulders, "Anyway, you're going to go through the motions first, so let's go by the way." She is stingy, likes to listen to good words, is vain, and is snobbish... In short, she has many shortcomings, but as a mother, Old lady He is a very careful person. She thought about what Mr. Xu said for a long time. Although she didn't like what Mr. Xu said, she could not say that it was just a little bit. She was really trying to make trouble for her son's Qiu Jie. When she was beaten, everyone would be happy. What if she didn't? Old lady He was nothing, she was afraid that her son would be treated by some villain outside.
He Gong talked about the autumn examination with his wife, and Shen asked, "Will my husband have to be in the autumn examination this year?"
He Gong laughed, "Mom insists on asking me to try it. I also want to see Qiu Ju's style. Whether he wins or not, just open his eyes."
"It's good, we are not far from the prefecture." Shen had no objection. It would be better for her husband to win in one go, but she would not win. The couple would be in love and live a good life.
The couple was talking, and He Xin's family sent a post. Shen asked with a smile, "But what good news?" He also sent a post alone.
The servant said, "It is our master who will receive the second wife's happiness. The next day, I will invite the fifth master and the fifth grandma to have a drink."
The smile on Shen's face froze immediately. He opened the post and looked at it quietly, "Congratulations to you master. I wonder which lady from the family has such a blessing?"
The servant replied, "My aunt came from outside, I don't know much about what exactly is."
Shen smiled and said to her husband, "My son is going to go to Aunt Xian to copy scriptures to pray for her mother, I'm afraid it's a coincidence. Where is my husband?"
He Gong said to the servant, "Tell me to Brother Xin, I will be there, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go for some reason." He sent the servant.
Shen frowned, "Why is Brother Xin like this?" She had a good relationship with Li, so she naturally didn't like He Xin taking a concubine.
He Gong didn't realize anything and said, "When my sister-in-law Xin was there, there were only a few in my house, and I was sent to you later. I'll take another one now, and it's nothing."
"He doesn't think it's nothing." Shen snorted and said to her husband, "Hey, this rich man doesn't know what he thinks about. Could it be that if he has money, three wives and four concubines will show his skills? It's not good for both husband and wife to live a peaceful life? If you want me, you don't show off your head here if you have the ability. Don't talk about others. We all see what my aunt was sad last time. I am a person with a daughter, and I will find my husband's family for Zijin in the future. Let's not talk about the rich or poor for the time being. Such a person who is fickle will not do it."
"It's just a matter of other people's family." He Gong smiled and said to his wife, "I'm not that kind of person."
Shen's bright eyes angrily, "If you were such a person, you wouldn't have been able to marry you at the beginning."
When the young couple spoke, Shen said, "Anyway, I won't go to take a concubine and drink. I'll go see my sister-in-law tomorrow. I've been talking all these days, but I haven't been there for many days, and she still doesn't know what's going on."
“Okay.”
Shen sent someone to ask if Li had free time. Li replied and asked Shen to take He Zijin to play.
After breakfast the next day, Shen said to Mrs. He, who also knew that He Xin wanted to accept small things, frowned and said, "I don't know who the surname is the one who has money. At this age, it's just enough to marry a re-string. What kind of thing is the one who beats the drums and drums? You can tell at a glance that he is a restless vixen!"
Mrs. He’s reaction was somewhat unexpected to He Zijin, and it was reasonable. Mrs. He also hated taking concubines very much, and said to Shen, “I went there and persuaded you sister-in-law. Although she was a Xuxian, she was also a serious marriage. Remember the genealogy clearly. Even if there is a fox spirit entering the door, there is no need to be afraid, she is still the big house!” Because He Xin took a small life, Mrs. He’s dislike for Li in the past was turned back to sympathy.
Shen responded seriously and then took He Zijin to talk to Li.
Shen was still a little worried about Li. When she saw Li wearing a light lotus-colored silk skirt, she loosely tied a cloud bun and a green golden hairpin on her head. She looked good, and Shen felt relieved. She was a careful person. She did not mention He Xin's small matter first, but asked Li about his life well, and then talked about He Zijin's interesting things.
Li liked He Zijin very much, so he held the person in his arms and gave her snacks prepared in advance. Li naturally noticed Shen's care, and felt a lot of gratitude in his heart, and smiled, "There is another happy event to tell you, I have a body."
Shen was startled first, then was very happy and said with a smile, "This is a great thing! I don't know, and I haven't heard anyone talk about it. How many months have you been?"
Li lowered his eyes and looked at his not-obvious belly and smiled, "It's already April. I was a little suspicious at first, but I didn't feel uncomfortable, so I didn't alarm others."
Li's family has a happy life, and it's a lifelong reliance. Having a child is a thousand times more reliable than a man like He Xin! No wonder Li was not disturbed by the fact that He Xin took a concubine. Shen said, "I just didn't say anything about it, just because I'm afraid you're so kind. Brother Xin is so good, why should I take a young man?" He Xin married Li as a successor and sent everyone in the house all the time. Because of this, Old Madam He always felt that Li was too capable, and she was young and handsome, so she didn't like Li. Of course, whether she liked others or not had any impact on Li.
Li and Shen were in good terms, and only Shen could ask about this. When Li heard this, he curled his lips and outlined a hint of disdain, "Didn't I have it? I'm afraid I'm uneasy in the courtyard, so I rushed to get a woman for the master. Isn't men like this? Just accept it, just accept it, just accept it, and I have to accept it for ten or eight of them, what does it have to do with me?"
Shen did not expect this woman to be so frowning. Li was just pregnant, so why did he call his stepchild so afraid? Besides, even if Li was younger, He Xin was still married to the family. Where did his son rush to give her a woman to me? This family was too unprofessional. Shen advised, "When you have a body, you will think about everything. What are you afraid of with children? It's just that with Brother Xin, I'll say justice. Someone deliberately seduces him with a woman. How many men can control him? You have been with Brother Xin for the past few years. If you have no mercy, you can't become a marriage. If you have a body, will Brother Xin be unhappy? Life is all about yourself. If you give up on yourself and live a mess, you will be in the same heart as others."
Li smiled faintly and felt sad, "I am two years older than you, so I asked you to persuade me."
"It's all about persuading or not, this is the truth. Sister-in-law thinks about it yourself and thinks about what else is not clear about it." Shen whispered, "It's just that. Don't think you are smart when doing such a thing. Who is a fool? Everyone knows it. But you have to be careful when you act like this."
Li whispered, "There's nothing to be careful. I have a daughter in my belly. Now I'm giving a woman to the master, I'm just afraid that I will give birth to a son in the future."
Shen hummed lightly, "What a shameless obscene embryo, this is unbearable. He shouldn't be the one who should be the family."
Li said softly, "It's good to have a daughter. If I were like Zijin, I would wake up in my dreams with a smile."
It is unlikely to be like me. He Zijin fans have a superior opinion, "I also think my daughter is good."
Shen Shiying, "You are everywhere."
Li was straightforward, touched He Zijin's braid and smiled, "The little man seems to understand."
Shen: I don’t know if this girl can understand or not. She said she is smart, she will make you stupid immediately, she will say she is stupid, she will chatter very smartly.
Shen had a headache and said to Li, "It's still quiet and well-behaved to make people feel pain."
He Zijin hummed twice, dissatisfied, "Mom, do you know how many people like me?"
"I know, you are a heartthrob." Her daughter often says this word when she is narcissistic, heartthrobs and so on...
He Zijin said falsely, "Mom, just know, don't say it out loud, be humble!"
At this moment, Shen and her mother-in-law's views were unprecedentedly consistent, that is: He Zijin really entered a state that even dogs disliked!
Compared with Shen's injustice for Li's family, He Zijin didn't feel anything. Not to mention this era, even in the era in He Zijin's memory, there were many mistresses, small fours, small fives, and small sixs. It was not necessarily the case that men became bad if they had money. Even men with no money had to go out and spend some money to get a job once.
Therefore, He Zijin felt that there was a side of male nature, such as in the lion group in the grassland, there were mostly male masters with n-headed female masters. However, the difference between humans and animals is that humans are intelligent, so humans have self-binding. Unfortunately, humans often put this self-binding on women. Men demand loyalty to women but have no requirements for themselves. What’s more unfortunate is that women also seem to agree with men’s requirements.
He Zijin rarely became deeper and sighed at the asymmetry of men and women. Fortunately, she was not feminist, she was content with the situation. In just a moment, she threw down Shen Shen and looked at the clothes material that Li took out happily.
Li smiled, "This is brought back by the former master. It is either silk or brocade, or cotton cloth. When you touch it, I was the first time I saw such a smooth cotton cloth, saying that the price is not cheaper than silk. I saw the color is good, so I left it. This piece is especially bright, and it is just right for Zijin to make clothes. Don't be with me heretics. This is for Zijin, don't refuse."
Shen didn't say polite words and laughed, "Seeing what my sister-in-law said, I just felt that such a good material, how could I bear to cut clothes for her children's house?"
"What can you not bear to let go? You are a meticulous person. Usually you can't bear to make a new one. Zi Jin has no new shirt. What a great thing, it's true that you can't bear to let go. Just wear it for Zi Jin." Li stroked his lower abdomen, his eyes extremely soft. "I used to be greedy when I looked at Zi Jin. This time I had it, and I truly knew the heart of being a mother."
Although I always knew that her mother loved her very much, she said this from others. He Zijin, who was delicate and heart-warming, burst into tears: As expected, only mothers in the world are good! Of course, her father is also very good, and she is definitely not a scumbag like He Xin who takes a baby during his wife's pregnancy. So He Zijin burst into tears even more!
Seeing her wipe her eyes, Shen asked, "What's wrong?" Why did she suddenly cry?
He Zijin sniffed loudly and said loudly, "I'm touching you!"
