Feng Heming

Chapter 188 Is It Enough?
At this time in Jiang Boyong's courtyard, it was rare that he did not go to the martial arts arena, but spread a mat under the big tree in the courtyard, and sat on the mat.

He skillfully brewed a cup of tea, gently pushed it to Aunt Chu who was sitting opposite, and said softly, "Try the tea I made, whether it suits your taste or not."

Aunt Chu picked up the teacup, shook it lightly, took a sip, and said, "The timing of putting the tea leaves is a bit late, the fragrance of the tea is not fully bloomed."

Jiang Boyong didn't take it seriously, and smiled, "Yes, then I will put the tea faster next time."

The two fell silent again.

After a while, Aunt Chu drank the water in the teacup, gently put the teacup on the desk, and said softly, "Have you had enough trouble?"

Jiang Boyong paused, looked up at Aunt Chu, and said with a light smile, "Wu Lang doesn't know what you mean by that."

Aunt Chu twitched the corners of her mouth, "Do I really not know, or do I know, but pretend I don't know?"

Jiang Boyong refilled a cup of tea for Aunt Chu, and said slowly, "Wu Lang really doesn't know."

Aunt Chu nodded, "Okay, if you say you don't know, then Auntie will explain clearly."

She stared at Jiang Boyong, and said word by word: "You are fighting with Wu Niang everywhere, have you had enough trouble?"

Jiang Boyong's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened.

Aunt Chu couldn't hide this small gesture, she lowered her head and glanced, "Look, you clearly understand what I mean."

Jiang Boyong looked straight into Aunt Chu's eyes, saw that there was no waves in it, and sneered, "Auntie is right. What do you mean I am fighting against Wuniang everywhere? Why did I suddenly get involved with Wuniang? Auntie probably didn't sleep well recently, Are you confused?"

Aunt Chu's expression was still calm, she was not angry, "You were not what you are now. You have changed since the last time you fell off the horse."

Aunt Chu's cold words made Jiang Boyong's heart skip a beat, but he did not miss anything, "Changed? Why didn't Wulang know that he had changed? Why didn't everyone in the family know that I had changed?"

Aunt Chu continued, her eyes were full of inquiry, "For no reason, after falling off the horse, I fell ill for a period of time. I was obviously not sick, but when I got sick, I felt chills, night sweats, weakness in limbs, And longing for something."

Jiang Boyong's heart beat even harder, but he shook his head, "Wu Niang is not a doctor, so my aunt should ask the doctor about this."

Aunt Chu looked at him for a moment and then said: "After recovering from illness, I went to the martial arts arena to work harder. Ah Zhi told me that when you come back every evening, your inner clothes are soaked."

Jiang Boyong snorted, "Wulang is the man of the Jiang family, and the man of the Jiang family should work hard in the martial arts arena, shouldn't he?"

Aunt Chu ignored him and continued: "Not only did you work hard in the martial arts arena, but you also became diligent and eager to learn in the ethnology. After dinner, you would practice calligraphy and read in the study. You won't go to Huaxiang, and you won't go to the gambling house." After I went, I even went out less, either reading or dancing with swords."

Jiang Boyong laughed at himself, "I don't know if Ah Zhi is my long-term follower, or your eyes on me."

This time Aunt Chu answered him, "I am your aunt, I asked Ah Zhi, would he dare not answer?"

Jiang Boyong took a deep breath, "What exactly does Auntie want to say? Isn't it great that Goro is mature, stable, and hardworking? Find an official position in the future and go up steadily, and you can enjoy the blessings with Goro, right?" ?”

Aunt Chu looked at him seriously, and Jiang Boyong looked at him without fear. She said softly: "If you really think so, Aunt Chu is very pleased. But ask yourself, do you only want this? You only want this ?"

Before Jiang Boyong could answer, she shook her head first, "Not only that, you want far more than these, you want more, you want the old man's attention, you want to be cultivated by the old man, you are jealous that Wu Niang gets Everything, so you compete with Wu Niang everywhere.

You become diligent and hardworking because you want to compare Wu Niang, and you want the old man to see your efforts and value. It's a pity that you will never be able to replace Wu Niang! "

"Oh!"

Jiang Boyong threw away the teacup in his hand abruptly, his face suddenly became ugly, and there was a touch of ferocity, Aunt Chu's words hit the most unacceptable place in his heart, he whispered, almost roaring:

"How can I be worse than Wu Niang! She will, and so will I. I am still a gentleman, and I am the son of the Jiang family. Wu Niang will only be a foreigner in the future. Why can she go in and out of grandfather's study at will? Received the whole heart of her grandfather? Even the elder brother can't compare to her! Why!"

"Just because Wu Niang won the favor of the old man! Just because Wu Niang can speak at the age of one, write poems at the age of three, and write poems at the age of five, she is even better than Mr. Dalang!"

Aunt Chu's voice was still faint, like pouring a basin of cold water on Jiang Boyong's head, cooling his anger for a while.

Seeing that her son seemed to have calmed down a bit, Aunt Chu continued: "So what if Wu Niang is a little lady? Just because she is a little lady, the old man will love her more! Afraid that she will be bullied when she gets married, she stays at home The time is so short, how can the old man rest assured if he doesn't teach her by hand and let her know the world's affairs?"

Jiang Boyong wheezed his nose and sprayed hot air, "So I deserve not to fight or grab? What's the reason for this?"

"Who won't let you fight? But why do you want to fight with Wu Niang?" Aunt Chu also lowered her voice, with a hint of anger, "You can fight, fight in a dignified manner, don't the gentlemen in the martial arts arena like this?" Is it like fighting?

How about you?How did you fight?If you don't have the right mind, you have to compare with Wu Niang everywhere. If you don't have this mind, you will do better than before, and you will work harder than before, that's good.If you read more books and write more beautifully than before, that is good.If you want to compare, why don't you compare yourself with the mediocre and always inconspicuous self in the past? "

Jiang Boyong was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Aunt Chu sarcastically, "This is really funny, it's really funny! Compared with the previous self? What's the point of that, and how can there be any progress?"

"If there is no progress to speak of, how did Wu Niang satisfy the master of ethnology since she was a child; how did she keep being praised by the instructor of the martial arts field when she went to the martial arts field; why did the old man pamper her for more than ten years? She, protecting her, teaching her?
Is there any little lady in the family who can be better than Wu Niang?Not even Mr. Dalang!Such a fifth mother, who can compare with?Besides comparing with yourself, who else can you compare with? "

Aunt Chu's words made Jiang Boyong's expression stiff, and what made him even more stiff was Aunt Chu's next sentence, "Do you think that no one can see what you have done this year?"
