[Red Mansions] The good life of the wife of the official family

Wang Ziteng looked at her without a smile on his face, and stretched out his fingers into palms in front of Zhao Zhihan.Zhao Zhihan looked up at him slightly, protecting the book in her belly, shaking her head.The prince moved his eyes and hooked his fingers, naked/naked/naked silent threats and threats.Zhao Zhihan still stared at him that way, shaking her head.

Wang Ziteng had been patient until now, but he was obviously impatient.He didn't care whether Zhao Zhihan wanted it or not, he reached out to pick at her skirt, and pulled out a few books.Zhao Zhihan was stunned by her rude actions, and it took him a long time to remember to straighten his coat. When he raised his head, he saw that he had already begun to flip through the books he had found.

Wang Ziteng looked at the titles of the covers of several books, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Zhihan from time to time and said, ""Kao Gong Ji"? "The Legacy of Zi Ren"? "Heavenly Creation of Things"?"

"En." Zhao Zhihan answered with her eyes fixed on the book.

Wang Ziteng held the books in his hand, looked at these books, frowned, then looked up at her and said, "You...you read it yourself?"

"En." Zhao Zhihan responded again.

Wang Ziteng suddenly didn't know what to say. It was already a strange thing for his illiterate wife to start reading.However, this used to be so weak that what Zhao Zhihan read was not "Female Precepts", "Internal Training" and the like, nor were they poetry and songs that cultivated temperament, but mechanical books.

I don't know how long these books have been on the shelf, and no one has ever touched them.The ancients pretended to be elegant and magi, but all they read were poems and songs.Wang Ziteng always felt that Zhao Zhihan's reading of these books was beyond his acceptable range.

He resentfully stuffed the book back into Zhao Zhihan's hand, turned around and went to the table again.Zhao Zhihan held the book in her hand, and seeing that he had nothing to say, she just looked at his back and said, "Master, I'll go back if there's nothing else to do." After speaking, she walked out silently.It was said that she couldn't come to the study, so he had to sneak away before he made it clear that he was going to trouble her.However, she was stopped by Wang Ziteng after walking a few steps.

Zhao Zhihan stood up after listening to the words, turned around, and stood there dignifiedly, "Master, what else is there?"

Wang Ziteng picked up the brush on the pen stand without looking up, "Come and help me grind the ink."

"But master, isn't it true that female family members can't stay in the study in the front yard?" Zhao Zhihan stood still.

Wang Ziteng still didn't look up, he just said: "It's all here, and the book was taken back by you, it's not bad to have one more study of ink."

"Hey." Zhao Zhihan paused for a while, then went over and put down the book.She raised her hand to hold the grinding stone, and slowly grinded it according to the appearance of the ancients in her memory.While studying the ink, she read the characters written by Wang Ziteng, only to see that the cursive script was full of paper, and she could only recognize one character "Zhi".

Wang Ziteng wrote for a while, but no one spoke in the study, it was very quiet.Then, Wang Ziteng suddenly said, "Why don't you explain why you turned these books back and read them?"

Zhao Zhihan paused, and the speed of Yan Mo's hands slowed down. While thinking about excuses, she said: "I just think it's boring to stay in the yard all day long, so I want to find some books to go back and read. But I read them for a long time. Those The books are full of dark words, only these few books have some pictures, so I took these few books."

"Just because you drew some pictures in it?" Wang Ziteng put down his brush and looked up at her.

"En." Zhao Zhihan nodded.

Wang Ziteng let out a sigh of relief, and said in a helpless tone: "If you feel bored, you can spend more time looking after Miss Yi. How much good will it do you to leave her with the old lady since she was a child? It’s better to get closer to the relationship between mother and daughter, and you have some fun. If you have been unable to have a second child, and Sister Pianyi only kisses the old lady, then what do you mean? It’s nothing to be a husband and a child. , don’t look at those miscellaneous things. If you have some time, why not make some clothes and shoes for Yi, and also fulfill your duty as a mother.”

Sister Yi is talking about Wang Xiyi, the daughter of Wang Ziteng and Zhao Zhihan's original owner, who is now four years old, four years younger than Sister Feng.The old lady Wu liked her very much because she was cute and painful, and she was afraid that Zhao Zhihan's temperament would wrong her, so she put it by her side to raise her.

Zhao Zhihan didn't know how close the original owner was to her biological daughter. In short, because Wang Xiyi lived with the Wu family, she was not very close to her.Now she feels that she is insecure in this yard, and she still has to figure out how to get money to bring herself back to modern times. Naturally, she doesn't have the energy to make clothes, shoes and socks for the children.Even if she has the mental strength, she doesn't have the labor skills.

So, she could only grind the ink, and then replied with a perfunctory expression but an extremely serious tone: "Yes, master."

Zhao Zhihan doesn't want to get too involved with the world of the Red Mansion at the moment, and she has also thought that if she can't go back, then her education for her children is definitely the most advanced in this era.Of course, this is also a protracted thing.

Looking at her, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.After sighing, she looked up at her again and said, "I have told you some things not once or twice. When you go to the old lady's place, don't just think about burning incense and praying to Buddha. The old lady is a idler now, but the former You are a good housekeeper. You should ask the old lady more about matters of husband and child. It's no wonder that you are so immoral, but she still likes you."

A surge of energy in Zhao Zhihan's heart surged upwards until it choked in his throat.If it weren't for the rules of the three cardinal guides and five constant rules, she would have stood up and told him with staring eyes: as a man, there is nothing wrong with being so wordy.There are also those words that are virtuous but not virtuous, and when I hear them, I want to blow his head off with my thoughts.Fortunately, she doesn't have the super power to control things with her mind.

Zhao Zhihan returned to her yard after being educated by Wang Ziteng and could only nod in agreement.She nestled in the room, thinking about Wang Ziteng's words for a while, and figured out a reason.If she does not accept the feudal thinking of this era from the inside out, she may not go well in many things.Therefore, what she has to do is externalize but not internalize.

The most important thing to consider now is what skills are needed to take over the butler's affairs when Wu's 50th birthday comes next.Of course, to reach this point, there is another big prerequisite, that is, Shi will give up the power of housekeeper this time, or have to give up due to some special reasons.

After Zhao Zhihan thought about it, it was time for lunch. Hong Yi helped her arrange the dishes, and took the initiative to help her to sit down at the table and said, "Madam, where did you go this morning? Miss Feng brought our girls over to play in the yard Once again, but you are not here."

Zhao Zhihan picked up the chopsticks, put a dish into the bowl and said: "It's nothing important, it's not that relatives don't see each other in other homes, I will go to the old lady's yard after dinner later. Go to the kitchen for me now I want some delicate dim sum, so I can bring it to Yi girl."

"Hey." Hong Yi responded and left the room.

Zhao Zhihan ate indiscriminately, and then asked other girls to come in and collect the table.After sitting in the room for another quarter of an hour, Hong Yi came back with a snack box carved in mahogany.Zhao Zhihan stood up to pick it up, opened it and looked, they were all butterfly orchid shaped snacks.The snacks were pleasing to the eye, so Zhao Zhihan covered the box with satisfaction, and took Hongyi to Wu's yard.

Strolling to Wu's courtyard, Zhao Zhihan had just stepped into the courtyard gate when she saw Wang Xiyi with a white brocade bandage covering her eyes, reaching out her hand in front of her, and when her finger touched her skirt, she grabbed it in her hand and said, "I found you It's gone." After speaking, he raised his hand to remove the cloth from his eyes.

Wang Xiyi saw that it was not Wang Xifeng or the maids who were arrested, but her own mother, she just blinked her eyes and said, "Madam, are you here to accompany the old lady to recite scriptures again? The old lady is in the house."

Zhao Zhihan saw how cute she looked, so she bent down and hugged her.While going to the yard, he looked at her big eyes with long eyelashes and said, "I went to my yard with Sister Feng this morning, didn't you?"

Wang Xiyi nodded while fiddling with the white brocade cloth in her hand: "My wife hasn't come to the old lady's yard often for a few days. I said I wanted to see my wife, so Sister Feng took me there. When my wife was not there, Sister Feng brought me back again." gone."

Just after saying this, Sister Feng, who was playing games with her, also came over, stood in front of Zhao Zhihan and raised her head and said, "Second Wife, are you coming to accompany the old lady to burn incense and chant scriptures again?"

Zhao Zhihan lowered her eyebrows and looked at Sister Feng. This Sister Feng was indeed beautiful, but compared with the little person in her arms, it was obvious that Wang Xiyi was soft and cute.As for Sister Feng, she is smart, and she doesn't speak or act like an eight-year-old child, rather like an adult in a child's body, with a quick voice, probably because she is often used to watching Shi's housekeeper.

Zhao Zhihan responded to Sister Feng's words, and asked again: "Where is the eldest lady, but is she in the courtyard?"

Sister Feng followed her with her head up, "That's right, my wife has been feeling a little unwell recently and doesn't want to go out of the yard very much, and she doesn't want to call a doctor. I'm worried. The old lady doesn't care about things, so I didn't talk to her Madam said."

Zhao Zhihan still had a gentle smile on her face, "Then why did you tell me?"

Sister Feng looked around, then hooked her fingers to Zhao Zhihan.Seeing that she was going to whisper to her, Zhao Zhihan quickly closed her ears.Sister Feng tiptoed slightly next to her ear, and said softly: "I'm just talking casually, because the second wife doesn't care about business."

After Zhao Zhihan finished listening, her face stiffened with a smile, and she slowly pulled her head back.She looked into Sister Feng's eyes, the children's eyes really made her unable to tell whether it was deliberate irony or childish talk.Zhao Zhihan didn't want to maliciously speculate on the child's mind, but because the child's name was Wang Xifeng, she still maliciously speculated——

She didn't talk to the old lady because the old lady didn't care about things and she was talking right.Telling her is also because she doesn't care about things, which is ironic.Because fundamentally speaking, everyone knew that Zhao Zhihan's carelessness was different from Wu's carelessness.Mrs. Wu is too lazy to take care of it and is happy to be at leisure.And she, Zhao Zhihan, has no skills.
