Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Yi Zhonghai showed a very kind smile, patted Chen Er on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Xiaoer, Master, I want to talk to you." Chen Er nodded. His master wanted to chat with him, and the apprentice was naturally looking forward to it! Chen Er smiled and said, "Master, I am looking forward to it."

The master and the apprentice went to Chen Er's house together. As soon as Yi Zhonghai entered Chen Er's house, he felt that the house was very dirty and messy. There was an unpleasant smell. Yi Zhonghai frowned at first, and then said after thinking for a while, "Xiao Er, you are over 20 years old now, and even Sha Zhu is married. How about I introduce you to someone?"

Yi Zhonghai sat opposite Chen Er, staring at him closely. Chen Er's face looked a little ugly, but then he immediately returned to normal. Because when Yi Zhonghai said he would introduce a girl to him, Chen Er actually thought of Xu Erni. Chen Er stuttered a little, and seemed a little reluctant.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be an elder, smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "I am the eldest uncle in the courtyard, and also your teacher. It is my duty as a teacher to introduce you to a girl. You don't need to have any psychological pressure. Well, tell me what kind of girl you like, and I will introduce you to one."

Chen Er was thinking in his mind, and Yi Zhonghai just stared at Chen Er's eyes tightly. He wanted to see something from his eyes. Chen Er was also thinking in his mind, about what kind of wife he would find in the future, he was ambiguous in his heart.

In his heart, he wanted to find a daughter-in-law who was like his mother, although he had long forgotten what his mother looked like before. But he just liked this tune, especially a woman with overflowing maternal love. But as a man, he really was not willing to find such a daughter-in-law. Chen Er was not a fool, and he was not very willing to find a widow.

Because in his heart, he felt that the woman who could meet his requirements was a widow. He definitely couldn't mess with married women, and the only ones he could mess with were widows. But Chen Er was really a widow, and he was really unwilling in his heart!

The cunning Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and understood. Although his apprentice had some unreasonable demands on Xu Erni, if he really married her, his apprentice might be reluctant in the short term. Yi Zhonghai smiled in his heart, snorted coldly and said in his heart, "Hmph, then I will let you experience what cruelty is."

Yi Zhonghai has made up his mind now. He must find some ugly girls to teach his apprentice a lesson about the dangers of society. He must start to spread rumors, but when he heard Chen Er say, "Master, I want to marry someone as virtuous as Brother Dongxu's wife."

Yi Zhonghai squinted his eyes and nodded, pretending to say, "Dongxu's wife is a very virtuous woman. Chen Er, your brother Dongxu's family is now left with orphans and widows. As his junior brother, you can't just ignore them, right?"

Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively, looking at his apprentice. He wanted to test Chen Er's opinion on the Jia family so as to make the next plan. Chen Er was a little hesitant, but he was very happy in his heart. As long as he helped the Jia family, he could establish a good relationship with Xu Erni.

Men like to have three wives and four concubines. If he had a good relationship with Xu Erni, he might be able to make her his lover. Chen Er still had ambitions in his heart. He had a legitimate wife at home and a lover outside. This was the ultimate life for a man.

Chen Er said hesitantly, "Master, it's definitely okay for me to take over the Jia family. But, there are always gossips about widows. If I help the Jia family, what should I do if these people in the courtyard spread gossip about me? I haven't even married yet!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and waved his hands, his face was calm. He chuckled and said, "I don't like what you said. You are doing a good thing by helping the Jia family! If the neighbors knew about it, they would definitely praise you. You can think about it. This is a great spirit of self-sacrifice for the public. This is selfless dedication. If the neighbors in the new courtyard knew about it, they would not only not spread gossip about you, but would praise you strongly."

Chen Er blinked his confused eyes, looked at his master and said, "Master? Are you telling the truth? It really won't damage my reputation! Isn't there a saying that goes, 'A widow's door is full of gossips.'" Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "What you said is a bit feudal! What does 'A widow's door is full of gossips?' Only people with bad intentions would say this."

"Are you interested in your brother Dongxu's wife? Do you want to have something happen with your brother Dongxu's wife?" Chen Er's eyes revealed a trace of panic, and he immediately shook his head and said, "How is this possible? Brother Dongxu and I are good friends. His wife is mine, my sister-in-law. I must respect him well. I don't have such an idea."

Although Chen Er's demonstration was particularly good, Yi Zhonghai could still see it. He sneered in his heart, feeling that his plan would come true. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Disciple, you and Dongxu are both my disciples and my successors."

"Dongxu was a child with a tragic fate. He passed away just like that. I really feel sorry for Dongxu, and the orphans and widows he left behind. I hope you will help the orphans and widows of the Jia family for the sake of your brother Dongxu. I will also publicize your deeds at the street office. Don't worry, your reputation will definitely be the best among the younger generation in our courtyard in the future..."

Yi Zhonghai had been fooling Chen Er so much that Chen Er didn't know which way was which. He felt that his master had no reason to lie to him, so he nodded and said, "Master, don't worry. From now on, Brother Dongxu's wife is my wife, oh, no, my sister-in-law. I will definitely take good care of them and let Brother Dongxu rest in peace."

Chen Er's attitude was very firm, and Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction. Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Xiaoer, I heard that the street is now selecting advanced individuals. I will report your case to Director Wang and let everyone in the street know about your glorious deeds. You will definitely be famous in the entire Nanluogu Street for taking care of your senior brother's orphan. At that time, all the matchmakers in the street will come to act as matchmakers for you without you having to go to their houses in person."
