Tang Dynasty good man
Chapter 442
Chapter [-]
The fourth child is not too demanding, just talking, anyway, he will leave tomorrow, who wants to listen.
He closed the door, moved the chair back, took a sip of the tea bowl in a pretend manner, and put it across his chest without putting it back on the table. What to say, I am not shy."
"It's just for listening." The fourth child moved his feet and sat in one position for a long time, looking tired. "I'm not afraid of people listening. My sister has loved me the most since I was a child. She can't get out of her boudoir. I always sneak in to accompany her and listen to her talk about what it's like to be in a big family, what etiquette should be, how to eat, and how to talk to the elders." Talk, how do you talk with your peers, how do you treat the servants with the same tone." Speaking of this, the fourth child raised his voice and said to the door: "Sister, you haven't seen a big family at that time, have you? What you said has nothing to do with the current situation of the Wang family. "
Laughter came from outside the door, Ying acquiesced that she made it up.The fourth child pouted and continued: "But when I was young, my sister did whatever she wanted. The family invited someone to measure the clothes, and after measuring my sister's size, I turned around and left. Cut me a suit. Mother touched my head and said that I don't have my sister's life. I want clothes to be cut by you. I knew one thing at that time. If you want sister's clothes, you must have your sister's life. No money, no status to wear."
The fourth child stopped, rubbed his eye circles, and looked up at me, "Brother-in-law, you have a good background since you were young. I'm afraid you don't understand what the merchant's family is like? You don't know what the daughter of the merchant's family thinks?"
Be silent.Of course I understand that the fourth child is trying her best to dress herself up as the daughter of a wealthy family, wearing whatever styles are new, who is the tailor to hire, and the luxurious carriage, with precious metals and rare ores stuck in her head, that is. I want to make up for the loss and helplessness of my childhood.It's like what Ying made for herself when she went out back then is the same as hanging a ghost.
"Some things will be forgotten in the past and tomorrow, and some things will still be the same as they just happened in ten or eight years." Seeing me looking at her head, the fourth child pulled out the jewelry one by one from the bun in embarrassment. He said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law doesn't want to see these things, in fact, I don't want to see them either. But every time I put them in, I feel better." He picked out a few commemorative ones for me to see, and introduced them all. This is Lan It was rewarded by Princess Ling.That one was given by the female official when entering the palace, and given by the empress, "These are not things that merchants' daughters are qualified to bring, but after they reward them, it's another matter. No one dares to accuse XX of wearing the jewelry given by the eldest princess." .”
Nodding her head, she could vaguely know what the fourth child was thinking before, but she didn't expect the girl to be so psychologically twisted, no one can blame it.Who told the family to have a sister who married into the Wang family?
"You can't understand these things, and you will be laughed at if you say it." The fourth child got up and opened the door, and said to the two people outside: "Sister, second daughter, come in if you want to hear it. It's getting dark, always close to the door Not comfortable either."
"Come in," I turned my head to greet the two of them, "it's not a way to avoid people. It's good to listen to it." Ying herself was too embarrassed to squeeze forward, and pulled the second daughter to sit far away, and went out for a while after sewing. I pretended to be popular, but the second girl was more calm, moved the chair next to me a little bit, and winked at the fourth child.
"Don't be complacent." The fourth and second daughter snorted, "I knew you were not from a poor family when you came to my house, and my sister didn't beat you to death for this. People like you are snobbish in their bones. Even if you are in trouble Even look down on merchants."
"Don't talk about it," the fourth child and the second daughter are not on the right track. Now that they are speaking openly, there is no taboo, and they can express whatever they think in their hearts, which is easy to cause conflicts. "You are born as a bitter child, why bother to fight and kill endlessly. Fourth child, you continue to talk. After you finish speaking, eat quickly. Everyone is hungry."
"It's okay to be hungry," Ying said later.Supporting the girl, he said: "Tell the fourth brother to finish what he wants to say, if it's really impossible, call him in and talk while eating."
"In fact, it's messy to talk about, and I can't hold what I want to say." The fourth child snatched his jewelry from the second daughter, "Sister will get married someday. I have never seen such a big wedding scene, parents I am happy, everyone who enters the door is a guest, and even Hanako gets a wedding gift when she comes in. I don’t feel sorry for the money, I am also happy when I climbed the back, thinking that my sister will have a good life, and the Chen family climbed a big tree. If you have this blessing, you can also marry a prince and general, and you can make your parents happy once, and you can also set up so many banquets..." Touching his cheek, "Brother-in-law, do you think you don't have this blessing if you are ugly?"
"..." He and the second daughter looked at each other, and comforted: "It has nothing to do with appearance, your sister is not better than you... No, you are similar to your sister."
"My mother said the same thing, and she said it with reassurance. I obviously don't look as welcoming as my sister." The fourth child gave the second daughter a jealous look, "Only she looks better every day when she comes to the Wang's house, and she was even better than me back then. "
There is no comparison between the two, and the two daughters felt that arguing with the fourth child on this matter was really worthless, and they put on a magnanimous posture, only Ying Laoyuan sighed.
"You have to marry the right person if you look good. My sister is lucky. In the first three years, I didn't like it. My brother-in-law didn't want to see the identity of the Chen family. At that time, I was also worried about my sister. But suddenly I fell in love, and my brother-in-law went to the Chen family for the first time. That day I really saw what Master Hou looked like, and he didn’t seem to be Hou at that time.” The fourth child cast a glance at Ying, “Hou is nothing more than that, neither tall nor mighty, nor handsome. At that time, I told my mother that this brother-in-law It's not as good as selling badly at the intersection."
"..." These words are too much, I have never found a bad businessman who is more handsome than me.Ying was still laughing, and even the second daughter climbed on my shoulder and laughed out of strength.Weakly said: "Forget it, I originally planned to sell bad ones, but your sister disagrees, thinking I'm too handsome, and destroying the stability and unity of the bad industry."
The fourth child also laughed, "Brother-in-law is good at that. He gave a bad impression at first, but for some reason, I can see it later. I'm afraid it's just this weird temperament. Mother didn't miss it." When we were discussing toilet water, I told my father that the good times for the family are here, and if the Chen family has a son, they will be able to make money, and they will only earn but not lose."
Ying refused to allow the fourth brother to describe her parents as a pair of old speculators, and scolded: "Fourth, let's talk about you, and let it be over if you talk about parents."
The fourth child ignored him and just talked about his own, "I was surprised when the two started workshops. Father said that the Wang family was not worthy of face and wanted to make money. Using the Chen family is just a cover. The cover is worth a lot, since there is not much invested in it. , so I don’t need my second brother to come to host, it just fulfills my wish. Brother-in-law, you didn’t expect toilet water to make so much money at the time, did you?”
"The Wang family's situation was like this at the time, as much as they could earn, and they couldn't get rid of it." No exaggeration, thinking about the situation back then made me feel uncomfortable.There are hundreds of people in the family who have to eat, and the huge Wang family relies on gifts from visiting patients to maintain it, so there is no mention of it on the table.
"At that time, I didn't expect the Wang family to have such a field. I always thought that the rich and powerful families were all people who had spent their lives on the pile of money and food. At that time, I had some opinions on my brother-in-law. I can't tell whether it is good or bad. Yes, many years ago." The fourth elder took out a bottle of toilet water from his sleeve pocket, "This is the first batch of land. It's the first bottle, and I'm still not willing to use it." Then he carefully stuffed it back, "I didn't realize that my brother-in-law was different until the toilet water was sold. I didn't expect it at the beginning, and the Chen family didn't expect that the Wang family could really share dividends according to the contract. I remember that my father drank a few more glasses happily at that time, not because of the amount of dividends. I was very thankful, old man God bless you to find a good son-in-law who has status and ability and doesn't underestimate merchants."
"Oh, that's what it should be. It's a contract. If it's just a verbal agreement, it doesn't have to be so honest." Smiling, he patted the second daughter's shoulder, "The second daughter's contribution is the most when dispensing the medicine."
The second daughter picked me proudly, grabbed my arm and shook it like a bottle.
"I forgot which day I lived in the Wang's house," the fourth child thought for a long while without an answer, "It seems to be when the toilet water made money. The Wang's house is so big, my sister is really prestigious in the Wang's house, and she seems to be arguing with her brother-in-law. I From what I heard, I feel that my sister is a bit too much, it stands to reason that people like you shouldn't be so easy-going, it's different from what I thought."
"I'll let her care about her own mother-in-law." She waved her hand modestly, and said with a smile, "I'll get used to it after seeing her a lot. Now your sister is more prestigious, isn't she also living a good life?"
"Yes. It's really enviable to see you two living together." The fourth child sighed: "Everyone says that you will grow old together. But you have to grow old together with your husband like a sister. From then on, I will always compare people with you, parents There are a lot of Zhang Luo. But no one can compare with you. People look down on people who are not civilized or military. I always think, when will I find someone who can be on the horse and manage the army and dismount the horse to care for the people? My lord, even if he grows up and sells badly, he might as well recognize it."
Ying raised her head and met me. I can't argue with what I said.In the past, I might as well sell a bad one, but now she wants to marry someone who is worse than selling a bad one. After all, marry me?
"Children's words," Ying saw me embarrassed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you'll be a jerk if you talk about it, who can talk to brother-in-law in such a tone!"
"It's not as good as sister if you don't understand, but after reading it for so many years, you should understand it." The fourth child said without hesitation: "Sister, you have everything you should have. I'm looking for my husband's family, and I always say they are good people, but have you ever compared with your brother-in-law in private? Even if you don't compare, but my sister and I compare! I don't even want to be the son of Mr. Li Yifu. Fortunately, something happened to the Li family Retiring the engagement, if you really marry in the past, maybe your sister's bones will be melted!"
Ying was speechless when asked.At that time, I couldn't see it, but the sons of Li Yifu later became more and more shameless.The one who divorced with the fourth child was still educated and reasonable, and I don’t know what kind of evil has caused him to do evil all over the world. A while ago, he was approached by someone because he had a dirty relationship with a girl, because the couple was unhappy about this matter, In a fit of rage, the madam simply returned to her natal family. Fortunately, her natal family was able to protect her daughter with dignity in the capital.
For this matter, Ying and I secretly rejoiced more than once, luckily we didn't become sinners, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sleep at ease.Ying wiped her tears and got up to help the fourth child up, "Let's have dinner first, and then the two sisters will have a good discussion after dinner. Don't be in a hurry to leave tomorrow. Don't blame my sister for this. Marriage is unjustifiable, and right and wrong will happen after marriage, so my sister's life will suffer."
Ying seldom said a word, right and wrong will only happen if you don't marry.Now I'm used to how to say it outside, and it's weird at home.I always thought that the fourth child just lacked knowledge in this area, and I planned to agree to one that was pleasing to the eye.
I didn't expect to use me as a yardstick for comparison all these years, and I can understand it after staying for a long time, but I can't make random comparisons without distinguishing right from wrong.Anyway, she was paranoid and thought that everything on my side was fine.It is not good to put it on others, which is a bit unscientific.
Now is not the time to persuade the fourth child, the little girl's energy is indiscriminate, which is understandable.Ying and the fourth child talked for a long time without any clues. When the window paper was not opened, everyone pretended to be confused. Once the light came through, it was difficult to hold back. This made Ying and I lie on the bed and complain to each other.
"When did I wake up, I didn't even notice it before." Ying climbed on the edge of the kang and couldn't sleep, so she shook me a few times and asked, "Your husband didn't feel any signs?"
"The second daughter said earlier that I took it as a child's vindictiveness and didn't care."
"Why didn't the second daughter remind me?" Ying blamed others vividly, but I stretched out my hand and spanked her ass, 'Ah! ' One sound.
"Don't say you didn't realize it. A few ants in the house can know what's going on in their minds. They can't even figure out what their own sister is thinking. You can lie to ghosts." I know Ying's temperament best, and she is good at pretending to be confused.
Complain and complain.The quarrel was fierce on the surface, but both of them had a dark mind in their hearts, who would take over the business without the fourth brother?Of course she is embarrassed to say this as a sister, and I, who is black-hearted, also pretended to be stupid without conscience, and now I am delayed by being a big girl.And shift responsibility to each other.
"Why don't you let the fourth child not go back?" Ying didn't know why she said this, "Don't let the parents think that the fourth child has been wronged in the Wang family, and the second elder is too old..."
"I don't care!" Anyway, the lights had already been turned off, and no one could see the expression on anyone's face clearly.It is an excellent opportunity to speak nonsense in the dark.
"How can you ignore it?" Ying was not happy here, and stretched out her hand to pinch the second daughter.The second daughter yelled, and she became fascinated, "You don't care, what are you going to do to protect yourself?"
"Don't talk about our husband and wife's affairs to the fourth child. I'm busy in school. Don't worry about your sister, tell me to mix up my official career? Two days ago, the higher-ups wanted to promote me. It's not like you don't know."
As soon as the words were finished, the second daughter laughed first, and couldn't help rolling in my bed, Ying slapped me hundreds of times angrily, "Every day someone wants to promote you, but you let them promote you! The family is in chaos now. , you are thinking about your official career, so you are really embarrassed to say it."
"Why are you embarrassed? You are fighting on the front line, and you are involved in military affairs. This is a major event that affects the rise and fall of the country." After finishing speaking, he also felt that he was too shameless.Crawling under the quilt and humming for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so the second daughter grabbed me and ordered: "You have three years to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I'm still busy tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first."
"It's up to you to say. Three years, three years, what age is the fourth child! Why not limit to ten years?" Ying burrowed into my bed again, "Tell me what you think, the concubine and the second daughter weigh the trade-offs."
"What? What are the trade-offs?" This woman has gone crazy, why is her brain not enough?
"Ten thousand steps back, even if the fourth child is not from the Chen family, if there is such a person with such a large income from the Wang family, can our family let him go easily?"
"Your elder sister should be struck by lightning if you say this. The fourth son is not the only one who has made a fortune in the Wang family, and Dalai is leaving too. Do you weigh it with the second daughter? What do you mean by weighing it? I will let you two weigh it , as if you are magnanimous."
"Don't be angry, it's still up to you to make a decision at this point. What I mean is that we will weigh it after you nod your head, and if you don't nod your head..." As she spoke, she got confused first, and then said after a long time of calculation : "The fourth child is really gone, who in our family can step up and take care of these things?"
No, not one.The fourth child is a business expert trained by the Wang family for many years. No one can replace his ability and understanding, and after so many years of running up and down, this experience alone is difficult to measure.Ying gritted her teeth and said this, she really couldn't be fooled, as soon as the fourth child left, the Wang family's property collapsed in half, and it is unbearable for this to happen when things are going well now.
"Let me think about it." Just now I was thinking about whether I could accept my feelings, but now I only have reality in front of me, so it's really hard to choose.
The fourth child is ugly, but he is sincerely serving me and serving the Wang family. I am grateful for this, and I can't thank you enough.It has been more than ten years of ups and downs since the Wang family's business started, and the fourth child has changed from a young girl to an older woman, and I feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart.Looking for a husband's family at this age, not to mention a good family background, people with average family backgrounds are not willing to marry, so you can't follow the example of Yun girl and find the scum who stepped in the door, right?
Thinking about the guilt, Ying burst into tears, afraid that she would also think about it with me, and it would be too late to blame herself.But let me give the fourth child that for the benefit, and we will not be in a good mood.
"The fourth child is actually a good girl," I told the truth, and while I still had some conscience in the past two years, I hurriedly said a few more honest words, "Let's say ugly, in fact, I really don't value this. After so many years together, I have long been pleasing to the eye. Yes, but I don’t know why. I always feel that something is missing.”
Ying leaned on me and sobbed for a while, "I feel uncomfortable physically and mentally. I'm sorry for my sister if I send it back, and I'm sorry for my husband if I don't send it back. What can I do? It's not about my sister-in-law. I won't say anything else, and I won't force you to make up your mind. , and I don’t ask the fourth brother to change his mind, but he has to round his head, he can’t just hang around like this.”
None of them are doing well.Those who are usually domineering can't make up their minds about this matter.I have weird resistance.I can't say why, but I don't want to talk about this level of interest, and I don't want the fourth child to go away in my heart. I can't understand it after much deliberation.Very tangled.
After just being so groggy for the night, when he left, he told Ying to keep the fourth child first, and not to let the Chen family's old couple worry about it.Leading Dundun to nowhere, flickering and flickering.When I was hungry, I realized that it was already past the time of the school, so I ordered some food and wine from a random restaurant.
Whether I am in a good mood has nothing to do with my appetite. Today my appetite is very good. I ate twice as much as usual, and I slouched on the chair and didn't want to move.
sad.Look, I like the fourth child quite a lot, because the fourth child can bring huge profits to the Wang family, and I am willing to grow old with her from this perspective.
If she is willing to live in the Wang family for 100 years, I will not dislike her.What a girl.But when it comes to marriage, it's another matter. It's not what I want to do, but I feel a little uncomfortable when I have to do it for the interests of the Wang family.The family, because of the arranged marriage and the wife, because of the additional agreement of the arranged marriage, the two daughters are all good; but for the sake of the Wang family's wealth, suddenly there is a familiar name on the household registration book, which is heartwarming.
"Selfish." I don't know why, but I always like to consult with Lan Ling when I encounter problems.Just finished speaking halfway.Just dropped such an evaluation.
"Yeah, that's what I'm most upset about. If you marry, you'll be selfish. If you don't marry, it's the same. It's a crime."
While saying these words, Mr. Lan Ling graciously threw Gan Cane out to let the wolves go. Gan Cane secretly glanced at me and left reluctantly.
"Girl has lived in your house for so long, even if she dislikes someone's looks, she should have some affection, right? Who you marry or not has nothing to do with me, and one more will not affect me and you. One less, it depends on who is missing. "
"Okay, you don't have to deal with the two wives in my family, and you can do whatever you want when you are young. When it comes to the fourth child, don't talk about it."
Lan Ling smiled blissfully for a while, "The young couple won't be the fourth son's turn, so I have to grab it for you. If you want to make yourself comfortable, but also want the family to continue to make money, why don't you give it to the girl from the Chen family?" Think about it? So what if it’s really a marriage of interest? Didn’t I come here like this back then? I didn’t marry the main wife, you men really care about the second and third bedrooms? When it comes to benefits, it’s so cheap for people to be willing to be the third bedroom, you idiot Heartbroken."
"It's hard to say, others don't care, I care."
"Let's put it aside for now. The fourth child is not what you think. If you ask me to tell you, he will have already left when you go back. It's easy to handle when you don't tell the truth. Now that you have confessed, don't you If you stay, she won't rely on your family again without knowing what to do."
"I got up early and explained, don't you just leave?"
"Joke. The Chen family is short of food and clothing? That's a well-known rich man. The fourth son has lived for so long, and his parents don't worry about it. Isn't it because the old man thinks that his daughter will follow you? You are not willing, so it's okay." If you don't leave, you are lacking in heart, and the fourth child is a bit lacking in mind? No matter how worthless someone is, he knows how to love his children. As a person, the Chen family must give all his daughters to your surname Wang?"
What Lan Ling said made me worry, I have to go back and have a look.
"Think about it." Lan Ling pulled me back, "If you agree, go back and keep the fourth child. If you don't agree, tell the girl to leave quickly. If you don't answer, tell him to leave. The court corvee is not so overbearing."
Forget it, I really accepted what Lan Ling said.I feel a little weird in my heart, I can't tell whether it is uncomfortable or relaxing.Lanling was neither cold nor warm to me, reluctantly stayed a meal, and forced a smile to check the sugarcane homework, but he didn't get any fun from it.Even Sugar Cane could see that something was wrong with me, and always asked: "Dad, why don't you take a break, and ask about homework next time, don't worry too much."
"Well," Gan Cane was sensible, and my heart warmed when I asked. "Pull some wolf cubs here, dad will have a look."
Sugarcane looked to her mother for advice.Lan Ling chuckled twice, "What do you see me doing? Is there anyone who disrespects the teacher?" Taking advantage of Jiu Jin running to pull the wolf, Lan Ling giggled, "Poor sir, you'd better go back and forget it. It's not your house, food and places are not reliable, and what you say is incoherent. Hurry up and go."
Look, kick it out, you have no conscience.As soon as he walked around the big slope in front of the village, he saw the fourth brother's luxurious carriage driving like an official road. Lan Ling was right, the fourth brother really gave up.
Oh, what a girl.Dundun understands human nature, and kept leaning his face to comfort him along the way.Unable to push it away, the two brothers went all the way into the house with their arms broken, and wiped their faces first.
Ying was also sad, seeing that I came back and pointed at the wing room where the fourth child lived all the year round without saying a word, just a few maids came in and out to clean up.The second daughter sat in the room and yelled at the third and fourth brothers Wangcai and pin nose.
"Tell the servant girl to stop, maybe one day I will have to clean up again, it's really troublesome."
"Husband didn't go to school today?" Ying pulled a bamboo chair and put it behind me, "Master Liu sent someone to bring a message. Ming has to go anyway, and you have something important to discuss with me."
"What's important. If there is something really important, he ran home and waited until tomorrow?" Slouchy lay down on the bamboo chair, and patted the armrest irritably, "What did the fourth brother say when he left?"
"I want you to rest assured, it doesn't mean that she will be left alone after leaving, or she will come to the village to supervise her every day, and she will not let go until someone who can replace her." Ying sat on my lap with a sad face. "Tell me, isn't that okay?"
"What a fart!" I felt a little better when I was really picky, but I really owe it to you now. "In the past few days, you take the time to go back to your mother's house and explain the matter to the second elder. Especially you can't hurt the fourth son's heart and put all the responsibility on me. It's okay if you don't see the fourth son. After a long time, you may forget it. How much do you care?" Advise."
"I won't go back." Ying pouted and pushed me twice. "How can you tell your parents what you call me as a concubine? It's a business. I made a good old girl into an old girl. What age was the fourth child when he came? At this age, he will be sent back..."
"You can't ask me to go, can you?"
Ying beat her legs a few times unhappily.He loudly yelled at the servant girl to put the things in the fourth room back, then turned around and called the second daughter, who didn't know what order to give to the second daughter, and then drove away.Jiu Jin didn't wink, and held the slingshot in front of me to show that he could pull away a little bit. Originally, Ying didn't care about him, but who would have thought that this kid would dare to ask my aunt when she would come back... Now, Ying took the trick and didn't learn from it. Learn every day, do you want to grow up to be a thief?The slingshot was confiscated, and all the projectiles were thrown into the ditch. The homework for the day after tomorrow should be handed in quickly, and if you don't hand it in, you will be beaten!
Poor baby, your dad is not in the mood to save you today, so admit it first.In order to leave a glimmer of hope for the child, he stretched out his hand to put the slingshot away. Seeing that the slingshot was in his father's hands, Jiujin felt relieved to accept the punishment.
"When will Auntie come back?" The children were innocent, and asked again at the dinner table the next day, but it turned out to be homework for next month.
"Aren't you going to come home for lunch?"
Ying shook her head, "I still didn't accept it after I sent it, and I asked someone to return it, so I ate it in the same pot as the craftsman in the workshop."
"Well, let's do this first, it will be fine in a few days." The fourth child is picky, and he can't stand the food in the workshop after a few days. food."
It's been more than a month, and the fourth child still doesn't come to the house. If there is anything, he will ask someone to pass it on. If it is really confidential, he will look for the second daughter or Dalai with a straight face, with a businesslike appearance.
In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here. There are conventions in previous years, and everything that should be prepared is ready.The lanterns were hung up, the stone tables in the back house were put together two by one, the fruit snacks and wine were full, and all the seats were reserved. The whole family sat around and had extra chopsticks to sit on.
"Auntie, will you come tonight?" Jiujin didn't remember to eat or drink, and started killing the scenery as soon as the adults filled up the wine.
Ying frowned, scolded the child for being too arrogant, and quietly peeled a bowl of pomegranate seeds and pushed it to me.
"I met my aunt at Zhuangkou today." Seeing that the adults ignored him, Jiu Jin said unwillingly, "My aunt said that tomorrow I will take the child to play slingshots in the forest in front of the village..."
Ying nodded, "Go, bring some food and drink to play with my aunt for a day." After speaking, her tone was a little choked up, and she looked at me, "Is the slingshot at your husband's place?"
She got up and took them out. Tianying picked out all the projectiles that Tianying had thrown in the ditch, rinsed them and handed over nine catties.
Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, the second daughter brought the three or four brothers over.The children were all in front of them, and Ying also let go and drank a few glasses.I got dizzy and suddenly lay down on the kang.
Felt less personal at home.The second daughter had no opponent to fight with, and the maid couldn't afford to offend her. When she got annoyed, she went up to smoke a few rattan sticks and then threw them aside in a dull manner.Ying has no one to teach, Jiu Jin eats something, sits like a statue, can't pick out the extra faults, and the taciturn light on the dinner table sends things to his mouth, lifeless.
I don't show it.However, intentionally or unintentionally, he always glanced at the old wing of the fourth child, and frowned, seeing that the house was filled with darkness like a haunted house.After a long time, the second daughter saw the doorway, and always lit an oil lamp for the wing room at night, which made her feel much more comfortable.
After a long time, it became a habit at home. Occasionally, when I forgot Ying, I reminded: "It's still dark in the fourth room. Go to someone and light the lamp."
Sometimes I push the door and go in to get something, and Ying also reminds me later, "Don't go in the lords in the girl's room, let the maid go in and get it."
Jiujin often went out to shoot targets with the fourth child, and when he came back, he said that his aunt took him there.He bought something for him, and Ying secretly wiped her tears at this time, but she didn't punish the child for homework.
"Miss Si sent the land." The butler hung a string of bright red agate beads and displayed them back and forth like a devout believer, "I haven't seen Miss Si come to the mansion for a long time. I was in a hurry that day. The old man didn't dare to ask, and he never came back Pass."
People who hear the word come back feel uncomfortable.Everyone in the family regards the fourth child as a member of the palace, never saying that the fourth lady has gone home, going out, coming back, as if it should be like this.
"Your fourth child still doesn't talk to you?" Lan Ling was used to saying this, and he didn't feel like talking.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't even talk about it." She didn't come when I went to work.She went back after I got off work, knowing that she was only going to Zhuangzi, but it was difficult to imagine seeing her.The main reason was that the fourth child didn't want to see me, and I had no reason to find her, so I just hung up, comforting myself and getting used to it after a long time.
"That's why you can't let it go. If you really don't have anything to say, you will see it when you see it. Why do you have to be evasive?"
"It's not like that..." He hesitated for a long time without any excuse. "Actually, you can say the same thing."
Lan Ling smiled, "I'll just watch it. It's interesting anyway. When you were around, you used pawns as horses; you can't live with you anymore. Although you still serve as cattle and horses for your Wang family, you can't let go of it." If I knew I didn't give you a good face before, maybe you could treat me better."
That is, the logic is weird, Lan Ling really found out that he was quite abnormal when he said it, he should see a psychiatrist.
It's fine in the past, the two women in the family are enough, and adding another one is asking for trouble?I'm not a stallion. How many years can I live with my small body? It's not worthwhile to lose everything.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that I was silent, Lan Ling guessed, "I must be making excuses for myself. Mr. Lang, he is very capable of deceiving outsiders, but he is even more capable of deceiving himself. Slowly deceive, see if you can do it." Have you lied to your conscience? I said earlier that you are not like me from the Tang Dynasty, and that the evils that come from some despondent world can’t hide your despondent virtue even in human form.”
"Who says I'm not from the Tang Dynasty? Who says I'm from the country of depression?" You can insult me, but you can't insult the country where I was born and raised! "Give up your morals, you can offend 10,000+ people with your statement, and every spit by one person will choke you to death."
"Oh, so it's still a bigger territory than Datang?"
"Small, in fact, it's not much smaller, just more than half."
Lan Ling laughed loudly, "More than one hundred million people are crowded in a land that is more than half smaller than the territory of the Tang Dynasty, stacking arhats? No wonder they look dejected, and Bai looks like a man but has a small belly."
Harsh.But I have to admit that there is some truth to what Lan Ling said.Judging from the living conditions in these years, after 500 years, they will be stacked arhats. As for the small belly and chicken intestines... maybe a little smaller than the people of the Tang Dynasty, but definitely bigger than the people of the Song Dynasty, right?
"You still don't want to? Think about it for yourself! You like other girls, but you think they don't look good, what's this saying?" Lan Ling stretched out his hand and forced me to straighten my body, "I'll ask you a reason, you like ugly girls ?”
Shaking my head, I wouldn't destroy myself like this.
"That's right, but you obviously can't let go of the fourth child with your current appearance. To be honest, do you think the fourth child is still as ugly as when you first met?"
"No. Although the appearance has not changed much, but gradually I don't feel much, maybe I'm used to it." At least I think so, there is no need to hide it in front of Lan Ling.
"That means you don't realize that she is ugly, why do you keep saying that she is an ugly girl?"
The tricky question made me dizzy, and I said with a frowning face: "But she is indeed like that. I have been used to it for so many years, but it does not mean that she has become beautiful. Ugly is ugly, ask others You will know your opinion, why do you keep chasing me and asking!"
"Are you marrying a lady or someone else?" Lan Ling pulled out the hairpin angrily, wanting to poke someone, and took it back abruptly, "I like it, why should I care about other people's opinions? What interests do you have from the beginning to the end? What kind of sister-in-law, you are all lying to yourself, don't you just feel that you are being laughed at by others for marrying an ugly woman?
It's not that I want you to marry the fourth child, it doesn't matter if I really don't like it, but it's just because of such a shameful thought that you disgust others and yourself, isn't it a man?Who wants to live with a stingy man like you? "
If Lan Ling didn't say anything, it would be fine. Once he said it, he would open it up and let it dry. He even understood the thoughts in my heart that I didn't want to admit, and I didn't say anything to save face.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Lan Ling pinched my nose and tugged wildly, "You, you, you are such an adult, and your beard has grown, but sometimes your thoughts are like a shit-eating baby. Marrying a man, marrying a man, wearing Clothes and food, didn’t mention washing the piss for my man, are you ashamed?”
shame!Embarrassed, disgusting. "But having said that, it's not unusual for you to expose what other people think, but it would be too shameful for you to reveal the thoughts that are suppressed in your heart. What country did you come from? Did you study psychology? You deliberately waited for me in the Tang Dynasty to play me? Please restrain yourself next time, please? Violating the right of privacy is a serious crime, I don’t want to see you again today, bye!”
After being scolded by Lanling, this figured out... I still feel a little weird.It's weird, I'm a little afraid of Lanling now, it's about the same mental age as me, why is the gap getting bigger and bigger?
The fourth child is not too demanding, just talking, anyway, he will leave tomorrow, who wants to listen.
He closed the door, moved the chair back, took a sip of the tea bowl in a pretend manner, and put it across his chest without putting it back on the table. What to say, I am not shy."
"It's just for listening." The fourth child moved his feet and sat in one position for a long time, looking tired. "I'm not afraid of people listening. My sister has loved me the most since I was a child. She can't get out of her boudoir. I always sneak in to accompany her and listen to her talk about what it's like to be in a big family, what etiquette should be, how to eat, and how to talk to the elders." Talk, how do you talk with your peers, how do you treat the servants with the same tone." Speaking of this, the fourth child raised his voice and said to the door: "Sister, you haven't seen a big family at that time, have you? What you said has nothing to do with the current situation of the Wang family. "
Laughter came from outside the door, Ying acquiesced that she made it up.The fourth child pouted and continued: "But when I was young, my sister did whatever she wanted. The family invited someone to measure the clothes, and after measuring my sister's size, I turned around and left. Cut me a suit. Mother touched my head and said that I don't have my sister's life. I want clothes to be cut by you. I knew one thing at that time. If you want sister's clothes, you must have your sister's life. No money, no status to wear."
The fourth child stopped, rubbed his eye circles, and looked up at me, "Brother-in-law, you have a good background since you were young. I'm afraid you don't understand what the merchant's family is like? You don't know what the daughter of the merchant's family thinks?"
Be silent.Of course I understand that the fourth child is trying her best to dress herself up as the daughter of a wealthy family, wearing whatever styles are new, who is the tailor to hire, and the luxurious carriage, with precious metals and rare ores stuck in her head, that is. I want to make up for the loss and helplessness of my childhood.It's like what Ying made for herself when she went out back then is the same as hanging a ghost.
"Some things will be forgotten in the past and tomorrow, and some things will still be the same as they just happened in ten or eight years." Seeing me looking at her head, the fourth child pulled out the jewelry one by one from the bun in embarrassment. He said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law doesn't want to see these things, in fact, I don't want to see them either. But every time I put them in, I feel better." He picked out a few commemorative ones for me to see, and introduced them all. This is Lan It was rewarded by Princess Ling.That one was given by the female official when entering the palace, and given by the empress, "These are not things that merchants' daughters are qualified to bring, but after they reward them, it's another matter. No one dares to accuse XX of wearing the jewelry given by the eldest princess." .”
Nodding her head, she could vaguely know what the fourth child was thinking before, but she didn't expect the girl to be so psychologically twisted, no one can blame it.Who told the family to have a sister who married into the Wang family?
"You can't understand these things, and you will be laughed at if you say it." The fourth child got up and opened the door, and said to the two people outside: "Sister, second daughter, come in if you want to hear it. It's getting dark, always close to the door Not comfortable either."
"Come in," I turned my head to greet the two of them, "it's not a way to avoid people. It's good to listen to it." Ying herself was too embarrassed to squeeze forward, and pulled the second daughter to sit far away, and went out for a while after sewing. I pretended to be popular, but the second girl was more calm, moved the chair next to me a little bit, and winked at the fourth child.
"Don't be complacent." The fourth and second daughter snorted, "I knew you were not from a poor family when you came to my house, and my sister didn't beat you to death for this. People like you are snobbish in their bones. Even if you are in trouble Even look down on merchants."
"Don't talk about it," the fourth child and the second daughter are not on the right track. Now that they are speaking openly, there is no taboo, and they can express whatever they think in their hearts, which is easy to cause conflicts. "You are born as a bitter child, why bother to fight and kill endlessly. Fourth child, you continue to talk. After you finish speaking, eat quickly. Everyone is hungry."
"It's okay to be hungry," Ying said later.Supporting the girl, he said: "Tell the fourth brother to finish what he wants to say, if it's really impossible, call him in and talk while eating."
"In fact, it's messy to talk about, and I can't hold what I want to say." The fourth child snatched his jewelry from the second daughter, "Sister will get married someday. I have never seen such a big wedding scene, parents I am happy, everyone who enters the door is a guest, and even Hanako gets a wedding gift when she comes in. I don’t feel sorry for the money, I am also happy when I climbed the back, thinking that my sister will have a good life, and the Chen family climbed a big tree. If you have this blessing, you can also marry a prince and general, and you can make your parents happy once, and you can also set up so many banquets..." Touching his cheek, "Brother-in-law, do you think you don't have this blessing if you are ugly?"
"..." He and the second daughter looked at each other, and comforted: "It has nothing to do with appearance, your sister is not better than you... No, you are similar to your sister."
"My mother said the same thing, and she said it with reassurance. I obviously don't look as welcoming as my sister." The fourth child gave the second daughter a jealous look, "Only she looks better every day when she comes to the Wang's house, and she was even better than me back then. "
There is no comparison between the two, and the two daughters felt that arguing with the fourth child on this matter was really worthless, and they put on a magnanimous posture, only Ying Laoyuan sighed.
"You have to marry the right person if you look good. My sister is lucky. In the first three years, I didn't like it. My brother-in-law didn't want to see the identity of the Chen family. At that time, I was also worried about my sister. But suddenly I fell in love, and my brother-in-law went to the Chen family for the first time. That day I really saw what Master Hou looked like, and he didn’t seem to be Hou at that time.” The fourth child cast a glance at Ying, “Hou is nothing more than that, neither tall nor mighty, nor handsome. At that time, I told my mother that this brother-in-law It's not as good as selling badly at the intersection."
"..." These words are too much, I have never found a bad businessman who is more handsome than me.Ying was still laughing, and even the second daughter climbed on my shoulder and laughed out of strength.Weakly said: "Forget it, I originally planned to sell bad ones, but your sister disagrees, thinking I'm too handsome, and destroying the stability and unity of the bad industry."
The fourth child also laughed, "Brother-in-law is good at that. He gave a bad impression at first, but for some reason, I can see it later. I'm afraid it's just this weird temperament. Mother didn't miss it." When we were discussing toilet water, I told my father that the good times for the family are here, and if the Chen family has a son, they will be able to make money, and they will only earn but not lose."
Ying refused to allow the fourth brother to describe her parents as a pair of old speculators, and scolded: "Fourth, let's talk about you, and let it be over if you talk about parents."
The fourth child ignored him and just talked about his own, "I was surprised when the two started workshops. Father said that the Wang family was not worthy of face and wanted to make money. Using the Chen family is just a cover. The cover is worth a lot, since there is not much invested in it. , so I don’t need my second brother to come to host, it just fulfills my wish. Brother-in-law, you didn’t expect toilet water to make so much money at the time, did you?”
"The Wang family's situation was like this at the time, as much as they could earn, and they couldn't get rid of it." No exaggeration, thinking about the situation back then made me feel uncomfortable.There are hundreds of people in the family who have to eat, and the huge Wang family relies on gifts from visiting patients to maintain it, so there is no mention of it on the table.
"At that time, I didn't expect the Wang family to have such a field. I always thought that the rich and powerful families were all people who had spent their lives on the pile of money and food. At that time, I had some opinions on my brother-in-law. I can't tell whether it is good or bad. Yes, many years ago." The fourth elder took out a bottle of toilet water from his sleeve pocket, "This is the first batch of land. It's the first bottle, and I'm still not willing to use it." Then he carefully stuffed it back, "I didn't realize that my brother-in-law was different until the toilet water was sold. I didn't expect it at the beginning, and the Chen family didn't expect that the Wang family could really share dividends according to the contract. I remember that my father drank a few more glasses happily at that time, not because of the amount of dividends. I was very thankful, old man God bless you to find a good son-in-law who has status and ability and doesn't underestimate merchants."
"Oh, that's what it should be. It's a contract. If it's just a verbal agreement, it doesn't have to be so honest." Smiling, he patted the second daughter's shoulder, "The second daughter's contribution is the most when dispensing the medicine."
The second daughter picked me proudly, grabbed my arm and shook it like a bottle.
"I forgot which day I lived in the Wang's house," the fourth child thought for a long while without an answer, "It seems to be when the toilet water made money. The Wang's house is so big, my sister is really prestigious in the Wang's house, and she seems to be arguing with her brother-in-law. I From what I heard, I feel that my sister is a bit too much, it stands to reason that people like you shouldn't be so easy-going, it's different from what I thought."
"I'll let her care about her own mother-in-law." She waved her hand modestly, and said with a smile, "I'll get used to it after seeing her a lot. Now your sister is more prestigious, isn't she also living a good life?"
"Yes. It's really enviable to see you two living together." The fourth child sighed: "Everyone says that you will grow old together. But you have to grow old together with your husband like a sister. From then on, I will always compare people with you, parents There are a lot of Zhang Luo. But no one can compare with you. People look down on people who are not civilized or military. I always think, when will I find someone who can be on the horse and manage the army and dismount the horse to care for the people? My lord, even if he grows up and sells badly, he might as well recognize it."
Ying raised her head and met me. I can't argue with what I said.In the past, I might as well sell a bad one, but now she wants to marry someone who is worse than selling a bad one. After all, marry me?
"Children's words," Ying saw me embarrassed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you'll be a jerk if you talk about it, who can talk to brother-in-law in such a tone!"
"It's not as good as sister if you don't understand, but after reading it for so many years, you should understand it." The fourth child said without hesitation: "Sister, you have everything you should have. I'm looking for my husband's family, and I always say they are good people, but have you ever compared with your brother-in-law in private? Even if you don't compare, but my sister and I compare! I don't even want to be the son of Mr. Li Yifu. Fortunately, something happened to the Li family Retiring the engagement, if you really marry in the past, maybe your sister's bones will be melted!"
Ying was speechless when asked.At that time, I couldn't see it, but the sons of Li Yifu later became more and more shameless.The one who divorced with the fourth child was still educated and reasonable, and I don’t know what kind of evil has caused him to do evil all over the world. A while ago, he was approached by someone because he had a dirty relationship with a girl, because the couple was unhappy about this matter, In a fit of rage, the madam simply returned to her natal family. Fortunately, her natal family was able to protect her daughter with dignity in the capital.
For this matter, Ying and I secretly rejoiced more than once, luckily we didn't become sinners, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sleep at ease.Ying wiped her tears and got up to help the fourth child up, "Let's have dinner first, and then the two sisters will have a good discussion after dinner. Don't be in a hurry to leave tomorrow. Don't blame my sister for this. Marriage is unjustifiable, and right and wrong will happen after marriage, so my sister's life will suffer."
Ying seldom said a word, right and wrong will only happen if you don't marry.Now I'm used to how to say it outside, and it's weird at home.I always thought that the fourth child just lacked knowledge in this area, and I planned to agree to one that was pleasing to the eye.
I didn't expect to use me as a yardstick for comparison all these years, and I can understand it after staying for a long time, but I can't make random comparisons without distinguishing right from wrong.Anyway, she was paranoid and thought that everything on my side was fine.It is not good to put it on others, which is a bit unscientific.
Now is not the time to persuade the fourth child, the little girl's energy is indiscriminate, which is understandable.Ying and the fourth child talked for a long time without any clues. When the window paper was not opened, everyone pretended to be confused. Once the light came through, it was difficult to hold back. This made Ying and I lie on the bed and complain to each other.
"When did I wake up, I didn't even notice it before." Ying climbed on the edge of the kang and couldn't sleep, so she shook me a few times and asked, "Your husband didn't feel any signs?"
"The second daughter said earlier that I took it as a child's vindictiveness and didn't care."
"Why didn't the second daughter remind me?" Ying blamed others vividly, but I stretched out my hand and spanked her ass, 'Ah! ' One sound.
"Don't say you didn't realize it. A few ants in the house can know what's going on in their minds. They can't even figure out what their own sister is thinking. You can lie to ghosts." I know Ying's temperament best, and she is good at pretending to be confused.
Complain and complain.The quarrel was fierce on the surface, but both of them had a dark mind in their hearts, who would take over the business without the fourth brother?Of course she is embarrassed to say this as a sister, and I, who is black-hearted, also pretended to be stupid without conscience, and now I am delayed by being a big girl.And shift responsibility to each other.
"Why don't you let the fourth child not go back?" Ying didn't know why she said this, "Don't let the parents think that the fourth child has been wronged in the Wang family, and the second elder is too old..."
"I don't care!" Anyway, the lights had already been turned off, and no one could see the expression on anyone's face clearly.It is an excellent opportunity to speak nonsense in the dark.
"How can you ignore it?" Ying was not happy here, and stretched out her hand to pinch the second daughter.The second daughter yelled, and she became fascinated, "You don't care, what are you going to do to protect yourself?"
"Don't talk about our husband and wife's affairs to the fourth child. I'm busy in school. Don't worry about your sister, tell me to mix up my official career? Two days ago, the higher-ups wanted to promote me. It's not like you don't know."
As soon as the words were finished, the second daughter laughed first, and couldn't help rolling in my bed, Ying slapped me hundreds of times angrily, "Every day someone wants to promote you, but you let them promote you! The family is in chaos now. , you are thinking about your official career, so you are really embarrassed to say it."
"Why are you embarrassed? You are fighting on the front line, and you are involved in military affairs. This is a major event that affects the rise and fall of the country." After finishing speaking, he also felt that he was too shameless.Crawling under the quilt and humming for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so the second daughter grabbed me and ordered: "You have three years to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I'm still busy tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first."
"It's up to you to say. Three years, three years, what age is the fourth child! Why not limit to ten years?" Ying burrowed into my bed again, "Tell me what you think, the concubine and the second daughter weigh the trade-offs."
"What? What are the trade-offs?" This woman has gone crazy, why is her brain not enough?
"Ten thousand steps back, even if the fourth child is not from the Chen family, if there is such a person with such a large income from the Wang family, can our family let him go easily?"
"Your elder sister should be struck by lightning if you say this. The fourth son is not the only one who has made a fortune in the Wang family, and Dalai is leaving too. Do you weigh it with the second daughter? What do you mean by weighing it? I will let you two weigh it , as if you are magnanimous."
"Don't be angry, it's still up to you to make a decision at this point. What I mean is that we will weigh it after you nod your head, and if you don't nod your head..." As she spoke, she got confused first, and then said after a long time of calculation : "The fourth child is really gone, who in our family can step up and take care of these things?"
No, not one.The fourth child is a business expert trained by the Wang family for many years. No one can replace his ability and understanding, and after so many years of running up and down, this experience alone is difficult to measure.Ying gritted her teeth and said this, she really couldn't be fooled, as soon as the fourth child left, the Wang family's property collapsed in half, and it is unbearable for this to happen when things are going well now.
"Let me think about it." Just now I was thinking about whether I could accept my feelings, but now I only have reality in front of me, so it's really hard to choose.
The fourth child is ugly, but he is sincerely serving me and serving the Wang family. I am grateful for this, and I can't thank you enough.It has been more than ten years of ups and downs since the Wang family's business started, and the fourth child has changed from a young girl to an older woman, and I feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart.Looking for a husband's family at this age, not to mention a good family background, people with average family backgrounds are not willing to marry, so you can't follow the example of Yun girl and find the scum who stepped in the door, right?
Thinking about the guilt, Ying burst into tears, afraid that she would also think about it with me, and it would be too late to blame herself.But let me give the fourth child that for the benefit, and we will not be in a good mood.
"The fourth child is actually a good girl," I told the truth, and while I still had some conscience in the past two years, I hurriedly said a few more honest words, "Let's say ugly, in fact, I really don't value this. After so many years together, I have long been pleasing to the eye. Yes, but I don’t know why. I always feel that something is missing.”
Ying leaned on me and sobbed for a while, "I feel uncomfortable physically and mentally. I'm sorry for my sister if I send it back, and I'm sorry for my husband if I don't send it back. What can I do? It's not about my sister-in-law. I won't say anything else, and I won't force you to make up your mind. , and I don’t ask the fourth brother to change his mind, but he has to round his head, he can’t just hang around like this.”
None of them are doing well.Those who are usually domineering can't make up their minds about this matter.I have weird resistance.I can't say why, but I don't want to talk about this level of interest, and I don't want the fourth child to go away in my heart. I can't understand it after much deliberation.Very tangled.
After just being so groggy for the night, when he left, he told Ying to keep the fourth child first, and not to let the Chen family's old couple worry about it.Leading Dundun to nowhere, flickering and flickering.When I was hungry, I realized that it was already past the time of the school, so I ordered some food and wine from a random restaurant.
Whether I am in a good mood has nothing to do with my appetite. Today my appetite is very good. I ate twice as much as usual, and I slouched on the chair and didn't want to move.
sad.Look, I like the fourth child quite a lot, because the fourth child can bring huge profits to the Wang family, and I am willing to grow old with her from this perspective.
If she is willing to live in the Wang family for 100 years, I will not dislike her.What a girl.But when it comes to marriage, it's another matter. It's not what I want to do, but I feel a little uncomfortable when I have to do it for the interests of the Wang family.The family, because of the arranged marriage and the wife, because of the additional agreement of the arranged marriage, the two daughters are all good; but for the sake of the Wang family's wealth, suddenly there is a familiar name on the household registration book, which is heartwarming.
"Selfish." I don't know why, but I always like to consult with Lan Ling when I encounter problems.Just finished speaking halfway.Just dropped such an evaluation.
"Yeah, that's what I'm most upset about. If you marry, you'll be selfish. If you don't marry, it's the same. It's a crime."
While saying these words, Mr. Lan Ling graciously threw Gan Cane out to let the wolves go. Gan Cane secretly glanced at me and left reluctantly.
"Girl has lived in your house for so long, even if she dislikes someone's looks, she should have some affection, right? Who you marry or not has nothing to do with me, and one more will not affect me and you. One less, it depends on who is missing. "
"Okay, you don't have to deal with the two wives in my family, and you can do whatever you want when you are young. When it comes to the fourth child, don't talk about it."
Lan Ling smiled blissfully for a while, "The young couple won't be the fourth son's turn, so I have to grab it for you. If you want to make yourself comfortable, but also want the family to continue to make money, why don't you give it to the girl from the Chen family?" Think about it? So what if it’s really a marriage of interest? Didn’t I come here like this back then? I didn’t marry the main wife, you men really care about the second and third bedrooms? When it comes to benefits, it’s so cheap for people to be willing to be the third bedroom, you idiot Heartbroken."
"It's hard to say, others don't care, I care."
"Let's put it aside for now. The fourth child is not what you think. If you ask me to tell you, he will have already left when you go back. It's easy to handle when you don't tell the truth. Now that you have confessed, don't you If you stay, she won't rely on your family again without knowing what to do."
"I got up early and explained, don't you just leave?"
"Joke. The Chen family is short of food and clothing? That's a well-known rich man. The fourth son has lived for so long, and his parents don't worry about it. Isn't it because the old man thinks that his daughter will follow you? You are not willing, so it's okay." If you don't leave, you are lacking in heart, and the fourth child is a bit lacking in mind? No matter how worthless someone is, he knows how to love his children. As a person, the Chen family must give all his daughters to your surname Wang?"
What Lan Ling said made me worry, I have to go back and have a look.
"Think about it." Lan Ling pulled me back, "If you agree, go back and keep the fourth child. If you don't agree, tell the girl to leave quickly. If you don't answer, tell him to leave. The court corvee is not so overbearing."
Forget it, I really accepted what Lan Ling said.I feel a little weird in my heart, I can't tell whether it is uncomfortable or relaxing.Lanling was neither cold nor warm to me, reluctantly stayed a meal, and forced a smile to check the sugarcane homework, but he didn't get any fun from it.Even Sugar Cane could see that something was wrong with me, and always asked: "Dad, why don't you take a break, and ask about homework next time, don't worry too much."
"Well," Gan Cane was sensible, and my heart warmed when I asked. "Pull some wolf cubs here, dad will have a look."
Sugarcane looked to her mother for advice.Lan Ling chuckled twice, "What do you see me doing? Is there anyone who disrespects the teacher?" Taking advantage of Jiu Jin running to pull the wolf, Lan Ling giggled, "Poor sir, you'd better go back and forget it. It's not your house, food and places are not reliable, and what you say is incoherent. Hurry up and go."
Look, kick it out, you have no conscience.As soon as he walked around the big slope in front of the village, he saw the fourth brother's luxurious carriage driving like an official road. Lan Ling was right, the fourth brother really gave up.
Oh, what a girl.Dundun understands human nature, and kept leaning his face to comfort him along the way.Unable to push it away, the two brothers went all the way into the house with their arms broken, and wiped their faces first.
Ying was also sad, seeing that I came back and pointed at the wing room where the fourth child lived all the year round without saying a word, just a few maids came in and out to clean up.The second daughter sat in the room and yelled at the third and fourth brothers Wangcai and pin nose.
"Tell the servant girl to stop, maybe one day I will have to clean up again, it's really troublesome."
"Husband didn't go to school today?" Ying pulled a bamboo chair and put it behind me, "Master Liu sent someone to bring a message. Ming has to go anyway, and you have something important to discuss with me."
"What's important. If there is something really important, he ran home and waited until tomorrow?" Slouchy lay down on the bamboo chair, and patted the armrest irritably, "What did the fourth brother say when he left?"
"I want you to rest assured, it doesn't mean that she will be left alone after leaving, or she will come to the village to supervise her every day, and she will not let go until someone who can replace her." Ying sat on my lap with a sad face. "Tell me, isn't that okay?"
"What a fart!" I felt a little better when I was really picky, but I really owe it to you now. "In the past few days, you take the time to go back to your mother's house and explain the matter to the second elder. Especially you can't hurt the fourth son's heart and put all the responsibility on me. It's okay if you don't see the fourth son. After a long time, you may forget it. How much do you care?" Advise."
"I won't go back." Ying pouted and pushed me twice. "How can you tell your parents what you call me as a concubine? It's a business. I made a good old girl into an old girl. What age was the fourth child when he came? At this age, he will be sent back..."
"You can't ask me to go, can you?"
Ying beat her legs a few times unhappily.He loudly yelled at the servant girl to put the things in the fourth room back, then turned around and called the second daughter, who didn't know what order to give to the second daughter, and then drove away.Jiu Jin didn't wink, and held the slingshot in front of me to show that he could pull away a little bit. Originally, Ying didn't care about him, but who would have thought that this kid would dare to ask my aunt when she would come back... Now, Ying took the trick and didn't learn from it. Learn every day, do you want to grow up to be a thief?The slingshot was confiscated, and all the projectiles were thrown into the ditch. The homework for the day after tomorrow should be handed in quickly, and if you don't hand it in, you will be beaten!
Poor baby, your dad is not in the mood to save you today, so admit it first.In order to leave a glimmer of hope for the child, he stretched out his hand to put the slingshot away. Seeing that the slingshot was in his father's hands, Jiujin felt relieved to accept the punishment.
"When will Auntie come back?" The children were innocent, and asked again at the dinner table the next day, but it turned out to be homework for next month.
"Aren't you going to come home for lunch?"
Ying shook her head, "I still didn't accept it after I sent it, and I asked someone to return it, so I ate it in the same pot as the craftsman in the workshop."
"Well, let's do this first, it will be fine in a few days." The fourth child is picky, and he can't stand the food in the workshop after a few days. food."
It's been more than a month, and the fourth child still doesn't come to the house. If there is anything, he will ask someone to pass it on. If it is really confidential, he will look for the second daughter or Dalai with a straight face, with a businesslike appearance.
In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here. There are conventions in previous years, and everything that should be prepared is ready.The lanterns were hung up, the stone tables in the back house were put together two by one, the fruit snacks and wine were full, and all the seats were reserved. The whole family sat around and had extra chopsticks to sit on.
"Auntie, will you come tonight?" Jiujin didn't remember to eat or drink, and started killing the scenery as soon as the adults filled up the wine.
Ying frowned, scolded the child for being too arrogant, and quietly peeled a bowl of pomegranate seeds and pushed it to me.
"I met my aunt at Zhuangkou today." Seeing that the adults ignored him, Jiu Jin said unwillingly, "My aunt said that tomorrow I will take the child to play slingshots in the forest in front of the village..."
Ying nodded, "Go, bring some food and drink to play with my aunt for a day." After speaking, her tone was a little choked up, and she looked at me, "Is the slingshot at your husband's place?"
She got up and took them out. Tianying picked out all the projectiles that Tianying had thrown in the ditch, rinsed them and handed over nine catties.
Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, the second daughter brought the three or four brothers over.The children were all in front of them, and Ying also let go and drank a few glasses.I got dizzy and suddenly lay down on the kang.
Felt less personal at home.The second daughter had no opponent to fight with, and the maid couldn't afford to offend her. When she got annoyed, she went up to smoke a few rattan sticks and then threw them aside in a dull manner.Ying has no one to teach, Jiu Jin eats something, sits like a statue, can't pick out the extra faults, and the taciturn light on the dinner table sends things to his mouth, lifeless.
I don't show it.However, intentionally or unintentionally, he always glanced at the old wing of the fourth child, and frowned, seeing that the house was filled with darkness like a haunted house.After a long time, the second daughter saw the doorway, and always lit an oil lamp for the wing room at night, which made her feel much more comfortable.
After a long time, it became a habit at home. Occasionally, when I forgot Ying, I reminded: "It's still dark in the fourth room. Go to someone and light the lamp."
Sometimes I push the door and go in to get something, and Ying also reminds me later, "Don't go in the lords in the girl's room, let the maid go in and get it."
Jiujin often went out to shoot targets with the fourth child, and when he came back, he said that his aunt took him there.He bought something for him, and Ying secretly wiped her tears at this time, but she didn't punish the child for homework.
"Miss Si sent the land." The butler hung a string of bright red agate beads and displayed them back and forth like a devout believer, "I haven't seen Miss Si come to the mansion for a long time. I was in a hurry that day. The old man didn't dare to ask, and he never came back Pass."
People who hear the word come back feel uncomfortable.Everyone in the family regards the fourth child as a member of the palace, never saying that the fourth lady has gone home, going out, coming back, as if it should be like this.
"Your fourth child still doesn't talk to you?" Lan Ling was used to saying this, and he didn't feel like talking.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't even talk about it." She didn't come when I went to work.She went back after I got off work, knowing that she was only going to Zhuangzi, but it was difficult to imagine seeing her.The main reason was that the fourth child didn't want to see me, and I had no reason to find her, so I just hung up, comforting myself and getting used to it after a long time.
"That's why you can't let it go. If you really don't have anything to say, you will see it when you see it. Why do you have to be evasive?"
"It's not like that..." He hesitated for a long time without any excuse. "Actually, you can say the same thing."
Lan Ling smiled, "I'll just watch it. It's interesting anyway. When you were around, you used pawns as horses; you can't live with you anymore. Although you still serve as cattle and horses for your Wang family, you can't let go of it." If I knew I didn't give you a good face before, maybe you could treat me better."
That is, the logic is weird, Lan Ling really found out that he was quite abnormal when he said it, he should see a psychiatrist.
It's fine in the past, the two women in the family are enough, and adding another one is asking for trouble?I'm not a stallion. How many years can I live with my small body? It's not worthwhile to lose everything.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that I was silent, Lan Ling guessed, "I must be making excuses for myself. Mr. Lang, he is very capable of deceiving outsiders, but he is even more capable of deceiving himself. Slowly deceive, see if you can do it." Have you lied to your conscience? I said earlier that you are not like me from the Tang Dynasty, and that the evils that come from some despondent world can’t hide your despondent virtue even in human form.”
"Who says I'm not from the Tang Dynasty? Who says I'm from the country of depression?" You can insult me, but you can't insult the country where I was born and raised! "Give up your morals, you can offend 10,000+ people with your statement, and every spit by one person will choke you to death."
"Oh, so it's still a bigger territory than Datang?"
"Small, in fact, it's not much smaller, just more than half."
Lan Ling laughed loudly, "More than one hundred million people are crowded in a land that is more than half smaller than the territory of the Tang Dynasty, stacking arhats? No wonder they look dejected, and Bai looks like a man but has a small belly."
Harsh.But I have to admit that there is some truth to what Lan Ling said.Judging from the living conditions in these years, after 500 years, they will be stacked arhats. As for the small belly and chicken intestines... maybe a little smaller than the people of the Tang Dynasty, but definitely bigger than the people of the Song Dynasty, right?
"You still don't want to? Think about it for yourself! You like other girls, but you think they don't look good, what's this saying?" Lan Ling stretched out his hand and forced me to straighten my body, "I'll ask you a reason, you like ugly girls ?”
Shaking my head, I wouldn't destroy myself like this.
"That's right, but you obviously can't let go of the fourth child with your current appearance. To be honest, do you think the fourth child is still as ugly as when you first met?"
"No. Although the appearance has not changed much, but gradually I don't feel much, maybe I'm used to it." At least I think so, there is no need to hide it in front of Lan Ling.
"That means you don't realize that she is ugly, why do you keep saying that she is an ugly girl?"
The tricky question made me dizzy, and I said with a frowning face: "But she is indeed like that. I have been used to it for so many years, but it does not mean that she has become beautiful. Ugly is ugly, ask others You will know your opinion, why do you keep chasing me and asking!"
"Are you marrying a lady or someone else?" Lan Ling pulled out the hairpin angrily, wanting to poke someone, and took it back abruptly, "I like it, why should I care about other people's opinions? What interests do you have from the beginning to the end? What kind of sister-in-law, you are all lying to yourself, don't you just feel that you are being laughed at by others for marrying an ugly woman?
It's not that I want you to marry the fourth child, it doesn't matter if I really don't like it, but it's just because of such a shameful thought that you disgust others and yourself, isn't it a man?Who wants to live with a stingy man like you? "
If Lan Ling didn't say anything, it would be fine. Once he said it, he would open it up and let it dry. He even understood the thoughts in my heart that I didn't want to admit, and I didn't say anything to save face.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Lan Ling pinched my nose and tugged wildly, "You, you, you are such an adult, and your beard has grown, but sometimes your thoughts are like a shit-eating baby. Marrying a man, marrying a man, wearing Clothes and food, didn’t mention washing the piss for my man, are you ashamed?”
shame!Embarrassed, disgusting. "But having said that, it's not unusual for you to expose what other people think, but it would be too shameful for you to reveal the thoughts that are suppressed in your heart. What country did you come from? Did you study psychology? You deliberately waited for me in the Tang Dynasty to play me? Please restrain yourself next time, please? Violating the right of privacy is a serious crime, I don’t want to see you again today, bye!”
After being scolded by Lanling, this figured out... I still feel a little weird.It's weird, I'm a little afraid of Lanling now, it's about the same mental age as me, why is the gap getting bigger and bigger?
