Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-]: The Camel and the Straw

Sometimes I have to face things that I don't want to face, such as... the fourth child.Thinking about it alone, as the head of the family, it is normal to do something that feels awkward for the benefit of the family...is it normal?At least most of the time, I think so. Thinking this way can find a high-sounding step for my heart.

It's different from Ying and the second daughter to me, it doesn't involve appearance, but a little unnatural relationship with each other.Look, it's as if a huge boulder suddenly fell in a gurgling stream. Although it didn't block the waterway, and didn't have a big impact on the water flow, but suddenly there was an extra object, which made people feel a bit stiff; no matter whether the stream or the boulder, it was uncomfortable. .

Perhaps such an analogy is not appropriate. After all, the fourth child is now surnamed Wang, and no one wants to treat their family members like this, but I can't help thinking this way, and I don't know how to correct it.Everyone knew in their hearts that brother-in-law was just a transitional title. She called me that, and then I happily agreed, like two duplicity idiots.

If it's the responsibility, I can't shirk it. I'm behind on this point.Ying and the second daughter quickly changed their attitudes towards the fourth child at the first time. Although it was not a good attitude, at least they both took responsibility for their positions, and I still pretended to be leisurely, going in and out like an old man. Four is a sister-in-law.

There is always a lot of time to kill in winter, and the only thing that makes me feel comfortable recently is watching the second daughter and the fourth child discuss the "Shang Yi Lu Shu" drafted by Lanling, just like playing a game of finding awkwardness.It is undeniable that the Wang family is the best at finding fault with others. It is really gratifying to watch the laws that Lan Ling worked out with great pains gradually turn into shitty regulations full of loopholes.

Write down one by one, add notes where there are loopholes, and then carefully revise a "Supplement to the Law of Shangyi", and the Wang family will rely on it to exploit policy loopholes in the future.Whenever Jiu Jin needs to practice calligraphy, let the children write, and the second daughter or the fourth child dictates.I sat next to Ying and played chess; although I taught them how to play chess, I still think it is better to play some simple games with smart people, lest I always change the rules of chess temporarily in times of crisis , this is too brain-intensive.

Ying is a slow player. The charm of cross chess is that the outcome is decided before your ingenuity is revealed, and the winning side can go first in the next game.Everyone knows what it means to go first in a game where seven or eight strokes decide the winner, but it happened that I won a round by luck at the beginning of the game, and the unchanging result made Ying a little upset.

"Husband doesn't need to answer business today?"

"Oh. The Zhang family brothers have done a good job. I want them to accumulate more work experience." The victory is in sight, and there is no reason to give up. After putting down the key point, he looks at Ying triumphantly.

"Then you rest at home, I have to go to Zhuangzi to have a look, and I have to put it back in the spring." Ying stretched out her hand to disturb the chess pieces, and shamelessly pretended to be worried, "I haven't seen you for so long in winter." Snow. Husband doesn’t care.”

...When the words came out of Ying's mouth, she was confident, and helplessly pushed the chessboard aside, "For my husband, I will write a memorial to the Jade Emperor, shameless!"

"Look," Yingyi got off the kang and rushed to the fourth and second daughter without hesitation. "I didn't know how to clean it up early in the morning. It's unkempt. Who are you two planning to gain work experience? Hurry up and change, go to the workshop and have a look at the workshop. When you are busy in the new year, you will stay at home and confine yourself." Just a finger, "Isn't it practicing martial arts? Don't you know what to do in winter?" After speaking, he was very relieved, clapped his hands and wrapped an otter fur shawl, and gathered a group of minions to patrol the courtyard.

The second daughter covered her mouth and laughed, the fourth child looked at me furiously, and complained, "I don't know how many games I'll ask her to win, I'm not afraid that my sister will set fire to the house!"

"It's going to burn early." He reached out and took the fishing rod from the wall and fiddled with it.In fact, fishing in winter is also a lot of fun, as long as the weather is good.The sun is shining warmly on the ground, and it is still refreshing to sit on the edge of the pond. "You two pack up and go to the workshop to have a look. Jiujin goes out to practice Sanjiu." He went out and told the child: "Don't run towards the river beach, let your mother know that no one can save you."

The work is not good to continue, if I am not present, the scene of the fight between the fourth child and the second daughter is enough to make Hollywood's action movies ashamed, and Jiujin always asks me if the fourth aunt is staying at home, this kind of topic It is more difficult to answer.Let him ask Fourth Aunt directly.

"Brother-in-law." Just after finding a good place by the pond, the voice of the fourth child came from behind. "I see you forgot to bring Maza. I will bring it to you."

"What?" Looking around, the fourth child was alone, took the Mazar and opened the side, "It's okay, I plan to sit on the dry grass. Is there anything wrong?" Sending Mazar is not the style of the fourth child. This girl has something to say, Pat Mazza, "Sit down and talk."

The fourth child walked around Maza and sat on the dry grass like me, grabbed a handful of seeds and wrapped them around his fingers without making a sound, looking a bit lost in the topic.In the cold scene, people under the warm sun felt chilly, and the two of them suddenly became a little uncomfortable, which made me not hold up the fishing rod for a long time.

The fourth child held back a smile at me, "The fishing rod is quite long."

"It's a bit long...but it's a high-end product." The brain lacked oxygen, and his speech and movements were not smooth. He threw the fishing line out without even taking the bait, and stared blankly at the empty water surface.

"Brother-in-law..." The fourth child's tongue was stiff, and he pulled out the hairpin from his head and flicked on the grass, "You are very good at chess...better than my sister..."

"She keeps letting me. You know... your sister is a little older than me." I feel a little tongue paralysis, the brain can't control the operation of the tongue, and the brain shrinks.

"My mother came yesterday," the fourth child felt a little uncomfortable, and threw out the crumpled grass. "The second brother plans to take his sister-in-law to Longyou. It's empty and there's no one to take care of it. The housekeeper is an outsider after all, so he can't speak his own words."

"Oh, it's good to pick it up. The children are grown up, and the parents can have a leisure time." Putting down the fishing rod and laying down on the dry grass, he let out a long breath. The second brother is a nice person. I haven't seen him for many years, so I miss him. of.It's somewhat unfair that the Wang family's property should be run by the pillars of the Chen family.It is said that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the reclaimed land in Longyou is becoming more and more prosperous. As the second brother Chen, it is not difficult to find a few pleasing opposite sex to relax.I also believe that he found more than one or two, but after all... he is a very nice person.

Knowing that the fourth child has nothing to say, talking about these things can always make people think, which is much more interesting than discussing the length of the fishing rod. "Second brother is a good man. I remember that when he was wronged and imprisoned, he always felt that the Wang family did not do well enough, so many things were left unattended."

The fourth child shook his head, "Thanks to my brother-in-law, if this kind of thing hadn't been mediated by my brother-in-law, it would definitely not be what it is now. At that time, no one expected that my brother-in-law would make such a big fuss for the sake of the Chen family. Usually, a merchant There is no hope of being voted in Dali Temple, not to mention being sent back respectfully in Zhaoxue, and punishing many high officials in one go, but showing his face. My mother often hangs up now, talking about her son-in-law. I can't wait to build a statue."

"Really?" Seeing the serious nod of the fourth child, she couldn't help laughing, especially when she was talking about her son-in-law, it seemed that there was no sister Ying on her head.She is the only girl in the Chen family. "There are some things you don't know. The Wang family doesn't have that much ability to punish anyone. It's just that a lot of things have been misunderstood by others. Oh, by the way, how are you doing these days? Let's see how you get along with... and your family It's pretty peaceful, isn't it?"

"Well," the fourth child blushed when asked, and turned his face away in embarrassment, "still fighting with the second daughter. I can't tolerate each other in many things, and I don't know when the fight will last... Don't be angry about this, she There is a reason for looking down on me, my sister sometimes thinks that I am inferior to the second daughter."

"Your sister?" This shouldn't be, since they have become a family, even if they have some bad habits, they shouldn't compare the younger sister with the second daughter. They are not the same kind of people. Too much.But what I should say has to be a little bit measured. "Your sister has such a temper. She is doing it for your own good, but sometimes she does bad things with her good intentions. You can listen to it, and ignore it if you don't want to. You don't have to worry about it with your sister."

"I don't care about it, I just don't follow my heart," the fourth child sighed softly, and moved towards me carefully. "Brother-in-law. You are a sensible person, you understand everything. Most of the time you just pretend to be confused. Is it me... I came to Wang's house this time..." Speaking of this, I didn't know how to continue, and coughed a few times in guilt, "Is it right? Am I too stubborn to make my family unhappy?"

It seems that it's not just me, the fourth child has already felt it.She said that the family members just wanted to smooth things over, meaning that her visit to the Wang family made me a little unhappy.Looking up at the fourth child, he took the fishing rod away from his side, unloaded and reinstalled it one by one, and finally managed to say after a while: "You are overthinking, it's not that it's painful, it's..."

"I'm the one who made you unhappy and made the family uncomfortable. Brother-in-law, I didn't think carefully and came here to cause a lot of trouble for the Wang family." The fourth child added softly, "Ugly and ugly. Well-bred, fighting with the second daughter makes the family restless."

"That's not what you said," ordered himself to laugh, and said with a pleasant face: "You and the second daughter were like this before, no one cared, no one cared. Besides, it doesn't matter if you say ugly or not, why bother to let these things Interfere with your emotions?"

The fourth child has changed a lot. It took only a short time to enter the Wang family to make a smart, lively and good girl a little abnormal. The fourth child used to be very calm when talking about these things, but now he has become a little inferior, which makes people feel uncomfortable.And Ying, it has nothing to do with the second daughter, Ying still talks about her younger sister in the same tone as before, and the content of the scolding between the second daughter and the fourth child has not changed much, but the fourth child is in a different situation and naturally has a different idea.Then add me as an important factor... The key is me, my attitude towards these things has not been corrected.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with you." After thinking about it, I don't know how to put it into words. They all say that family members should be honest with each other, just like I treat my fourth daughter like I did to Ying and my second daughter, but I can't make up my mind. .There are obstacles, manners and appearance are a link, but it is definitely not an important link. I like the fourth child because I am familiar with it.It can be said that the past ten years have seen her grow up, from a domineering and capable little girl to a pivotal figure in the family business, which is indispensable to both the Wang family and the Chen family.

That's why I can't correct my attitude. It's hard to adapt when things go beyond imagination.I also hope that my fourth child will be happy, and I once hoped that my fourth child would find a man who is a hundred times stronger than me to marry, but because of the word "important", I have a feeling of being coerced by interests and compromising, uncomfortable and uneasy.

The fourth child must also feel this way. Regardless of being passive or active, I think this is one of the reasons why the fourth child has the idea of ​​marrying me.With a blind eye, he took this brother-in-law of mediocre appearance and qualifications as his home, and lost the entire forest.

It's time to correct my mentality, if this continues, it will not be good for me, the fourth child or even the whole Wang family. "Look, you're overly sensitive about many things," he summoned up the courage to take the fourth child's hand, fleshy.The palms were sweaty, anyway, it was not easy for the two of them.Without looking at her, he glanced at the dead tree on the other side and pretended to be calm, "It has nothing to do with your sister and second daughter, and it is me who caused your current mentality. I always talk about the overall situation, but in fact, the most disregarding person is me... ..."

The fourth child was not used to this kind of contact, so he carefully withdrew his hand before I finished speaking, which made me a little embarrassed.Hanging his empty hand, he flicked it a few times stupidly, forgetting what he wanted to say.

The fourth child smiled at me apologetically, looked left and right with lowered eyebrows, and carefully wiped the sweat on the hem of the skirt after making sure it was safe.With a red face, he stuffed his hand back again, without saying a word.

"Look, your hands are smaller than the second girl's." After finishing speaking, he wanted to slap both of himself.It's not the words that adults should have. Children can climb trees, but they behave like mentally handicapped young pioneers who have only just developed.It was windy and a bit cold, and the weather changed after a while, so he patted the fourth child on the shoulder helplessly, "It seems that your sister wrote the memorial to the Jade Emperor on my behalf, let's go home."

And then...it's ridiculous.I don't know if I should let the fourth little chubby hand down, she also let me pull it indifferently, including packing the fishing gear, I did it with one hand, until I walked up the slope and was let go by a row of trees, and the fourth child was relieved. Withdrawing his hand, the two of them looked at each other at the same time, and both let out a long sigh.

"It's not easy," the fourth child laughed before I could speak.While wiping the sweat from his palms, he carefully touched my arm. "Brother-in-law, your tendons are stiff. Move back and forth, be careful not to sprain your tendons."

"It's not easy." Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, he patted the tree trunk embarrassingly, "It's okay, after passing this hurdle, we can be more natural in the future. Let's figure out a way together, and we should be like a family in the future. You know, Just now I felt like I was doing bad things outside, it was very exciting..."

The fourth child covered his face with what I said, and walked a little staggeringly. The blush on his face did not fade until the door of the house, and he jumped into the threshold impatiently, and started to smile at me foolishly.Walking down the corridor, he suddenly approached me, thrust his hand over and held it there for a few seconds, before I could react, he retracted, panting and blushing, and ran away.

Still a girl who has never seen the world.Raise your arms proudly, magic hand, you have to insure.He shouted at the back of the fourth child: "I'm still fishing tomorrow!"

"If you are happy with the fishing, return it!" A sweet voice came from behind, just with... I know she is well equipped, not 1v1 with her, I discovered the big secret, the Lich King is a married woman!

"What happened to the fourth child?"

Pointing to the sky, "I plan to ask her to talk to God, but I didn't expect you to go first. Look, it's going to snow."

"Don't interrupt," Ying snatched my fishing rod, "Why is she running? To prepare for tomorrow's fishing?"

"Aren't you going? If you don't go, stop nagging." Angrily snatched back the fishing rod, "Stalking behind like a wandering ghost all day long, but it's like holding hands, what else can I do to her?"

"No," Ying said stubbornly, and pushed me vigorously, "It's not a shame to hold hands, it's sneaky to carry someone back, why didn't you carry the concubine's body when pulling the second daughter. Ask the fourth child!"

Grabbed by Ying, she slipped into the back house, "Okay, I've never seen a sister like you. Since you let my sister in, and acted like a thief, you're not afraid of driving the fourth brother crazy." Whose family has this number, speak with conscience, one day my brother-in-law and brother-in-law called me very uncomfortable, do I treat her as my sister-in-law or something else?"

"I didn't say no," Ying pouted and squinted at me, "You are the master of the house, you can pull whoever you want, and I don't have the guts to intervene, it seems like a jealous woman."

"Jealous woman, can a jealous woman compare to you? Believe it or not, I threw myself into the lake?" She reached out and slapped Ying on the forehead. The mother-in-law knew it herself, so she didn't have to say it to make people laugh. "It's all about reason."

Ying's expression was a little stiff, her lips were trembling and she was about to cry, but I stopped her with a slap, and suddenly she returned to her true self, grabbed my arm and ravaged it, then climbed up on her shoulder and bit her, lying on me He giggled like a neurotic on his back.

"It's over?" Rubbing her arms, she pulled the lunatic woman aside, "Think about others, don't act like that. There is no way for the fourth brother to pass through the door. It's not that your man is so lustful that even his sister-in-law won't let him go; I You can't refuse at all, and you understand how embarrassing it is." She stretched out her hand and pulled Ying over.Sighing lightly, "We are all grown-ups, if you don't go well, you catch me and pinch, twist and bite; I'm sorry for you, as long as you don't kill people, I can do whatever you want, but the fourth is not going well." Who to turn to for anger? Didn't you see that the fourth child has had a hard life recently?"

Ying leaned against me and kept silent, closing her eyes and thinking about things.You can't ask Ying to be selfless to the extent of fraternity, which is unrealistic and unfair; but I am the head of the family.I can't let a good girl enter the Wang family to experience the life of hell, and it's not fair to call myself a man brother-in-law duplicity; of course, my own thoughts can be ignored, even if it's superficially harmonious, it's enough...

"What do you think, husband?" Ying said lightly, as if she wasn't talking about her own affairs, "I talked about the concubine for a long time, and the fourth child. I guess the second daughter is about to be mentioned? The concubine wanted to ask what the husband meant, yes Isn't it because you are upset by having more people in the family?"

"No, the fourth child has been in our house since childhood, so I won't bother anyone." After speaking, he lifted Ying's chin with a generous look, and felt that Ying's eyes were getting more and more glaring.Suddenly an inexplicable evil fire rushed up, and Ying pushed it away rudely, punched hard on the kang curtain, and shouted: "Okay. I'm just upset! It's not you, it's not the second daughter, and it's not you." It's not the fourth child, it's the whole thing that upsets you!" Saying this, he suddenly stood up and almost pointed at Ying's nose, "You! Small-minded! Do you think you are! All these years of fighting with outsiders, family members, and the second daughter Fighting with the fourth child, no one will let them go! There is also the second daughter, who is not very thoughtful, full of conspiracy and scheming, and is cruel! Others kill with a knife, you kill with your heart, and the second daughter kills with consciousness!" Said He was very relieved, and his voice became louder, "And that damned Lan Ling. He bothers me with nonsense national affairs all day long. A woman who has a fart relationship with national affairs is like becoming the most capable person in Datang! I know what I am most worried about all these years? It is not whether Jiu Jin will be successful when he grows up. It is not whether the girl will marry a good family in the future, nor is it that the three or four brothers will fall off the flower bed and fall half to death. Women fight for [-] rounds and die together!

It's all right now, we don't have to die together, there is an extra Chen Laosi, she is not as battle-hardened as the two of you, she is caught between the three of us lunatics like a fool, and we go to see if the girl of the fourth son has made it What does it look like!She thought it was all her fault, she felt guilty, and she was abused by you all day long, but she felt that she could still have two fights with the second daughter, who knows that she is definitely not the opponent of the second daughter..." Shouting It's not my style, today I was possessed by an evil spirit, I talked nonsense with such a loud voice, I was sweating profusely when I yelled, and I felt tired as soon as the energy passed, "God, what did I say! "

Ying's small mouth was wide open enough to stuff a pear, and she looked at me in surprise, and this expression continued until I finished posting, and when I sat down tiredly, the two of them just stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they both suffered Sap to look like.

"I'm sorry..." I have never used such vicious words in family conflicts. I feel a little shudder when I think about it. Lan Ling, she is innocent, I have never had this habit, and she still screams like a hooligan.

Ying regained her composure, shook her head, gently supported my shoulder and squeezed it, "Do you feel better?"

It's much better. Although I'm a little tired physically, I feel much more comfortable in my heart. It's more useful than fishing.

"Which concubine dares to ask, now there are four women, not three, right?" Ying's movements were still gentle, and she tapped my shoulder blades a few times from time to time, which was very pleasant.

"Okay, count as four." The bloody ones I scolded just now are the people I care about the most in my heart, and I never thought I would do this.He sent out an ignorant flame, as if venting some strange things in his body, but he didn't mind Ying's questioning tone at all.

"The husband is also responsible. Although the concubine is not going to die with the second daughter, I always have the idea of ​​fighting to the death with a certain princess. Of course, after the princess dies in battle, you can take her orphan back to the royal family to raise her, concubine I know that you want his surname to be Wang, don't you?" Ying rubbed her face against my neck, "You are too tired, true and false, too tired to work, and you are afraid that the second daughter will be bullied, and you don't want to be bullied. Willing to let my concubine be wronged, and hide a damned Lanling inside and out, can you not be tired? No one blames the fourth child, my poor sister is just the last straw on the camel's back, you give This concubine has told this story before. It's not about us witches, it's because you don't want to add any more burden, right?"

right?Ying's words stopped me, yes, there are three monsters on the poor camel, which looks very harmonious.The camel is so stupid, he feels good about himself, he has a sense of accomplishment, so amazing, but... But the straw of the fourth child is really beyond the standard, and after climbing down, he started yelling shamelessly...

"You don't realize this, but this is precisely the most attractive part of a husband. It is not uncommon to have ten or eight wives and concubines. In your capacity, one wife and three tenures are supported by the court. That is to say, the fourth child is already a person with a mandate, so I dare not kill the second daughter, nor can I kill the fourth child. Even if you take another room, you will live well. I was worried before, see The people around you, the higher the status, the more women you have before, but today you are really relieved. Unlike those beasts, you care about everyone around you, concubine, second daughter, damn Lanling, now you also care about the fourth child I lost my composure to the point of speaking incoherently, how could I still have the energy to make groups of wives and concubines."

"Are you questioning my ability?" Turning to look at Ying, she was trying to hide her face behind my back, but I grabbed her out, "According to what you said, am I at a loss? My husband never allows the public to occupy her." I am cheap, which is inconsistent with my principles of life, since it is a statutory quota, no matter how full it is, I can be worthy of myself, and if I don’t eat the empty salary, it is already regarded as law-abiding.”

Ying raised her head and smiled proudly, her small nose was wrinkled, and her eyes were narrowed into crescent moons, "My husband is the most concubine-like person in his heart. Although he pretends to be a bowl of water all day long, he only looks like a concubine when he is with his concubine." When you’re alone, you don’t try to cover it up.” As he spoke, he covered his chest, and said with a miserable face, “The way you got angry just now... almost scared me to death.”

"You want to say it's ridiculous!" I knew that the lethality was not enough, and because of my lack of experience in getting angry, I showed my flaws, so Ying took the opportunity to analyze me carefully, and I felt very happy when I saw a very enjoyable appearance. fail.

But Ying also conveyed a message that I was too picky about everything about the fourth child, and the problem was not as serious as I imagined. In other words, all the problems were on me, just a lazy camel whose load-bearing capacity needs to be improved.
