"No matter who asks you later, you will always say that my father can't be found, right? Don't say that my father is in the house, otherwise my father-in-law will feel uncomfortable."
As smart as her father-in-law.
To learn that Tian Er Gouzi's wife went to her parents' house because she couldn't enter the manor, and to learn that her father was actually at home, she must be aware of his father's little thoughts.
Zhou Banxia hesitated for a moment, not wanting to let her mother continue to ponder and think things over, so she had to interrupt temporarily and give her mother a few words of advice.
"You know, when Tian Er Gouzi's wife came to our house, your father heard from the concierge that she was coming. He told me that he was not at home and didn't know where he was."
That'll do.
Zhou Banxia knew that there were some things that her mother couldn't understand for a moment, but her father had told her that her mother would not foolishly tell the truth to outsiders.
Especially when it was easy for people to gossip about things like this. Her mother was very face-conscious and she might not be able to keep her mouth shut when good things came to her. But was someone saying something bad about her family?
It's naive, not stupid.
"When Mom went out, your dad was still hiding in the house, as if he was afraid of her, an old woman, and she, an old woman, could break into our house to look for your father!
I told your father that I came to find you, and those old ladies were sure to follow me. They didn’t care about whether you listened to your father the most, and made up their minds to drag your father with them..."
< br>
Can you think of all this?
You are amazing!
"...Your father is always making fun of me, and an old woman scared him, huh, I don't even dare to say that about him..."
Dad, you are despised by your wife.
"...Did I tell you what time I would be coming back today? I didn't send anyone back this morning to give you a message? If you don't come back, it will be dark.
My uncle won't go to your uncle's place with Dajiang, right? If I had known, I would have asked your father to go to the city this morning, so I could take a look at Dajiang's ranking this time. ”
Rambled on, Zhou Banxia didn't know which question to answer for a while, so she had to wait for her mother to stop and gave an answer that your uncle would definitely be home before dark.
After all, according to the wishes of her parents-in-law, at least Xuanzi must be present to worship the Kitchen God here. He will definitely arrive home before dark to participate in the ceremony.
"That's good. I wonder what my uncle's ranking was this time. If he ranks first, will he still have to go to the Yamen to receive rice silver and catch up with the Yamen seal?"
"Yes. It's very possible that you don't even have to go to the county government this time. The county government handed over the rewards to the students to the county magistrate in advance almost yesterday.
It's just that in the presence of the person sent by the academic administrator, the county official went to the county school to say a few words and distribute the rewards, and then the county school started to take a vacation. ”
“Are you afraid that someone will get it by mistake?”
"Almost, the main thing is to go through the process and let the representative sent by the Academic Affairs Master meet with the top three newly released by the county school this year.
In addition, next year is not the year of the provincial examination. During this period, we can talk about how the academic leaders care about the students and find out who will end up in the next autumn. ”
"You know a lot." Mrs. Li laughed loudly, "Why didn't my mother give birth to you as a child? If you were a boy, you might also be a little Sanyuan."
"That's right, I ran too fast, fell out, and became a girl. If I were a boy, three yuan would be nothing. I would get six yuan, and I would leave my name in history."
Li laughed and said, "Don't be ashamed. Your father and I don't have the brains to study. Dajiang is good, but he's still a aunt." Zhou Banxia raised his eyebrows, "Don't you mean that I am the cleverest in our family?" < br>
"Oh, you are the only one in the whole family who is short-sighted. Your eldest sister and mother-in-law must have woken up laughing when they fell asleep last night. Who else is like you and doesn't take money seriously?"
"Not much silver——"
"Mom, did you mean money? When your eldest sister went back yesterday, did you pack up big and small bags for her to take back? You didn't want to spend money?"
"I really don't have much money to spend, and I don't get much in return of gifts these days. What I asked my eldest sister to bring back wasn't any valuables, just some food and clothing.
No matter how you put it, I am already an aunt. I have such a big sister, and my big brother-in-law is still helping me. How can I lose two nephews with new clothes for the New Year. ”
"No matter how many good things you give them, how can your eldest brother-in-law not help you? Helping you means helping himself. With your temper, he is still afraid that you will treat him and his wife badly."
"You can't say that, mother, my uncle is not a son. As long as the eldest brother-in-law respects you and my father and lives a good life with my eldest sister, he will be a good person.
As for our family, judging from Dajiang's study momentum, it is unlikely that he will stay in the village in the future, and it will be you and my father who will go out with him.
Even Xiaohe, if he doesn't grow crookedly and is a student, our village won't be able to keep him. At that time, are you willing to leave me behind and follow your son?
No matter how good a daughter-in-law is, can she be better than a daughter-in-law? When Dajiang, like his uncle, quits being an official and returns to live in the village, calculate how old you and my father will be.
As for the eldest sister, she is mean-spirited but also misses her parents' family. They are a harmonious couple. If you have more filial uncles by your side, what more could I ask for.
I don't have many wishes in this life. One of them is to help my father get back to the place where he was laughed at back then, and let those people see that my father's daughter is no worse than his son. ”
Mrs. Li knew that her family's Sanya was talking about the time when she gave birth to three daughters in a row. The father of the child was not only looked down upon by the family, but even some people in the clan said that the father of the child regarded his daughters as treasures.
Every time the child's father hears these words, he is so annoyed that his daughter is no worse than anyone else's son and is laughed at. Her Sanya still remembers it in his heart.
"You guys, even if you have the best to speak up, you still follow your father. If you say you don't hold grudges, you are telling lies. Your eyes are not much bigger than the tip of a needle."
"That's not possible. It's much bigger than the tip of a needle. Everyone praises me for my good nature, virtuous and generous nature. If you want to say that I hold a grudge, who will believe me?"
As the mother and daughter chatted, Ophiopogon japonicus came back earlier than they expected. They heard that Ophiopogon japonicus had returned in less than half an hour.
At this time, Mrs. Li finally remembered that her family would be celebrating the Year of the Stove today. Before Maidong came in to salute, she asked Maidong to speak quickly, and she would rush back after hearing this.
"Back to my wife, when I left, the Tian family's wife was still at the concierge on the east road. She didn't dare to act like a monster, she just stayed put.
My young mistress cannot be seen by anyone who wants to see her, so the servants have no choice but to ask her to leave and ask them to remember to send a message in advance to anyone who comes to see my young mistress.
This is the rule for door-to-door visits. Otherwise, if a relative comes and wants to see my young lady, my young lady will personally entertain them one by one. Who can bear it?
Furthermore, regarding the old dispute between the Tian family and their aunt, it is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally to ask my young mistress to be the successor.
I told her that it would be better for her to stay away from my young mistress. When my young master gets angry, all relatives will have nothing to do. After hearing this, she has nothing to say and can be considered as leaving. ”
Is it so easy to persuade someone to quit? (End of chapter)
