men and women

Fang Yixing was a little surprised and at a loss. After all, she had only been in the house for a month, and Gu Xinyue dared to hand over the Gu family and Gu Sishen to her.Although the Gu family was orderly and Zeng Ma was there, but in the end it was he who was the backbone and had to leave for fifteen days.

"There's nothing to be nervous about. The housekeepers and servants will follow the rules and regulations. If you have any doubts, just ask Mama Zeng. Second Aunt and Third Aunt are always free, so you can also invite them to have tea at home. If you want to invite people to a party, they will help you." Gu Xinyue said, "Shen'er has someone to take care of him, if someone from the Shen family comes to see him, just let them meet, but don't let anyone take him out. "

"He can't do what he asks for." Gu Xinyue said, "It's just this point that I'm going to trouble you with."

"If you are willing to trust me, I will live up to the trust." Fang Yixing said.

"Relax, you are now the wife of the Gu family, not a girl invited by the Gu family to take care of the master." Gu Xinyue said.

Fang Yixing nodded.

Gu Sishen knew that his father was going out, so he didn't take him with him, and he was grounded, holding his little hands in his hands, and when Shen Heli came, he rushed forward with tears in his eyes, "Dad, take me to play."

Shen Heli bent down and hugged him in his arms, his heart almost melted by this father's sentence, "Where does Shen'er want to go to play?"

"Where father and father go, take Shen'er too." Gu Sishen begged tearfully.

Shen Heli swallowed it to the edge of his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at Gu Xinyue, Gu Xinyue looked at him with a half-smile, the look in his eyes meant that you agreed.

"Shen'er, this time father and father are going out of the customs for serious business. They have been traveling for fifteen days, and the journey is urgent. It is inconvenient to take you with you. After this time, father will take you out on a boat to have fun and have fun outside. How about half a year?" Shen Heli answered Gu Sishen after thinking carefully for a while.He began to joke that he wanted to be alone with Gu Xinyue, so he didn't take Gu Sixhen with him. Gu Sishen really asked to go, and Shen Heli also seriously considered it. Thinking that going outside the customs this time was not for fun, he hurried on his way. Gu Xinyue probably threw him away when he arrived. , he also took the opportunity to inspect the shops and factories, it was really inconvenient for Gu Sishen to follow.

Hearing this, Gu Sishen climbed down from Shen Heli's arms, silently walked to the side and sat down, with his back to Gu Xinyue and Shen Heli, and put his little hands on them again.

Shen Heli walked over to comfort him, Gu Sishen sniffed, "Uncle Shen, it's fine, I'll listen to my father. I won't go."

"You've changed your tune too quickly." Shen Heli scratched his nose angrily and amusedly.

"Father, when will I grow up so that taking me out won't feel like a burden." Gu Sishen said.

"Shen'er, you will never be a burden in Dad's heart. It's just that Dad and Dad love you and don't want you to work hard with us, so they didn't take you there." Shen Heli patiently explained. "We'll be back soon. Let's go together again when we have a chance."

On one side, Shen Heli was doing ideological work with Gu Sishen in his arms, and on the other side, an unexpected guest came to the Shen family.Shen Queming was checking the account book of household expenses. The butler said that a guest came and asked her to meet in the flower hall, and asked a little strangely, "What kind of guest, why do you want me to see you?"

"The old lady decided to go to the Guanyin Temple on a temporary basis, and she just left. The gentlemen are not at home, so I can only let the second lady go out to meet her." The housekeeper said.

Shen Queming stood up, "Who are you looking for?"

"It is said that he is looking for the old man, a relative of the wife. I am not sure, so let him come in and wait in the flower hall first." The housekeeper said.

"My wife's relative?" Shen Queming was a little strange. When he walked into the flower hall, he met a man in a suit. The man obviously didn't expect a girl to come out to see a visitor, so he got up quickly but didn't look at Shen Queming. . "excuse me."

He averted his eyes quickly, so he didn't see the surprise and shyness in Shen Queming's eyes, as well as the blush on his cheeks.Shen Queming looked like a real lady. After saying hello, she asked someone to serve refreshments again, "May I ask, which side of the wife's relatives and friends is the sir?"

Wang Yulin said, "I am the sixth generation of Lin from Zaozhuang Wang's family. I have been studying in Europa these years. My father wrote to say that he is waiting for me in Kyoto. When I arrive in Kyoto, I will go directly to my cousin. I have vaguely heard that my cousin is married. When I came to Shen’s house, I asked for the address of Shen’s house and came here, as if I took it for granted.”

"Gu Xinyue is my sister-in-law, and you have found the right place." Shen Queming said, "It's just that my sister-in-law is at Gu's house now, or I'll send someone to deliver a message to you now."

"No need." Wang Yulin said, "I went to Gu's house to find him. These are trivial gifts, please accept them with a smile."

"You're too polite, or you can go after dinner at home, my mother is not at home now, she will be back in a while." Shen Queming said.

"No, no, please forgive my presumptuousness." Wang Yulin said goodbye.From the beginning to the end, except for the unguarded first glance, she never looked at Shen Queming again.

After Shen Queming asked the housekeeper to send him out, he said to the girl next to him with a dreamy face, "Do you think he looks particularly good-looking?"

"He's quite handsome." The girl said, "The identity is also worthy, my wife's cousin, miss, you have finally found a good man."

"That's what I like. He speaks softly and is very polite. Even if he is a poor man with nothing, I would like it." Shen Queming said while covering his hot face. Her heart pounded, it came so suddenly and so strongly, it made her a little dizzy.

Gu Xinyue came out to meet Wang Yulin. Although the two were cousins, this was the first time they met seriously, except for the time when they were ignorant when they were young.Fortunately, neither of them felt unfamiliar. Wang Yulin was a little frustrated and said that he went to the Shen family to find him. He hoped that the Shen family would not misunderstand him.

Gu Xinyue knew that he didn't know that she and Shen Heli had divorced, so she smiled and said it was fine, and invited Wang Jianquan to come tonight, accompanied by all the men of the Gu family, and had a lively meal.

Wang Jianquan knew that Gu Xinyue was going to go outside the customs, so Gu Sishen stayed at home and said, "Then let Shen'er go to his uncle's house to play. There are many children at his uncle's house, so you can play with him."

Gu Xinyue was a little surprised by Wang Jianquan's sudden suggestion, although he turned his head to look at Gu Sishen, his eyes were already shining.Gu Xinyue thought for a while but still refused, "The journey to Zaozhuang is too far away, I will take Shen'er to visit my uncle in Zaozhuang in the future."

"Cousin, don't worry, just let Shen'er go with you. If you worry about the time being too long, I will come to Kyoto after staying at home for a few days, and I will bring Shen'er up when the time comes. It won't be later than my cousin's return time." Too many." Wang Yulin said.

Gu Xinyue asked Gu Sishen, "Shen'er, do you want to go to my uncle's house?"

Gu Sishen nodded quickly, he didn't want to be grounded at home, Zaozhuang, so far away.Must be nice.

Gu Xinyue smiled helplessly, "Then I will trouble uncle and cousin."

"Shen'er is so well-behaved, there won't be any trouble." Wang Jianquan smiled, "It happens that I still have a few great Confucian scholars who give lectures to Shen'er. Zeng Guige is good at current affairs, but children still need to start with a solid foundation. Skills and ingenuity are not the right path."

Gu Xinshou's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a great Confucianist. He is an infatuated scholar.Gu Xinyue noticed it and asked, "Does Xinshou want to go too?"

Gu Xinshou shook his head embarrassingly, "It's too troublesome, uncle."

"What's the trouble with this? One child is taken care of, and two children are also taken care of." Wang Jianquan laughed and said, "You are so small, you are not big, but you are mature, so you call me uncle with your brother, what do you call me uncle?" .”

Gu Xinshou blushed and nodded, "Thank you uncle."

There was a woman sitting at the next table, Gu Xinmei stood up and said with a charming smile, "Brother, since that's the case, let Xinkang join in the fun."

All the seats were quiet, Gu Xinyue looked at Gu Xinkang, "Do you want to go?"

"I don't want to go. I'm in poor health and I can't help it." Gu Xinkang muttered.

Gu Xin sneered and didn't say a word, Gu Xinmei's face turned green and red immediately after being offended by her younger brother.But she didn't give up, "Xinkang, don't you always say that you want to go outside to see, now you have the opportunity to go to Zhongyuan Prefecture, you don't have to worry about causing trouble to your elder brother, they are all dear brothers. If you are worried about your health, I can Let's go with you."

These words were more outrageous than letting Gu Xinkang go. Gu Xingbang glanced at her indifferently, which made her shudder involuntarily. Mother was put under house arrest, and father no longer looked like that father.

In the end, Uncle Gu came out to smooth things over. "Xinkang is not in good health, and he doesn't want to go, so don't go. Xinmei will stay at home and accompany your mother well. What do you mean by a lady, you are a lady if you stay in your boudoir."

"If Xinkang goes, I'll accompany him because I'm worried about his health. If he doesn't go, of course I won't go either." Gu Xinmei lowered her head and said, returning to her seat and sitting down.He glanced at Wang Yulin with a weeping expression, but maintained a graceful appearance.

Everyone present here is a genius, so how could they fail to guess her thoughts, Fang Yixing glanced at Gu Xinmei in surprise, among everyone, can a girl's thoughts be so straightforward?Those who understand have a bit of a bad face. The Gu family thinks that Gu Xinmei has embarrassed the Gu family girl, and Wang Jianquan feels like a stick in his throat for such a woman coveting his son.

"Everything else in my uncle's house is good, except that the rules have been strict for hundreds of years. Keep your heart, Shen'er. I'll make a deal first. If you break the rules at uncle's house, you will be beaten with a cane. Don't complain." Gu Xinyue said.

The topic was brought back to the rules and regulations of each family, and the atmosphere warmed up. Gu Xinyi's wife was curious and asked the Wang family what rules there are in marrying wives and daughters. Gu Xinyue smiled and explained to her, "The marriage of the Wang family is not based on status Wealth is the criterion, and the net worth is enough, the only rule that must be followed is that no direct descendants of the Wang family can match up with concubine descendants."

The laughing environment said this sentence with a smile, but the obvious meaning of knocking made Gu Xin's eyebrows pale, and the third aunt said, "The first wife is married to the second wife, and the concubine is married to the concubine. This principle is also followed in the marriage of the same family."

"Other people follow this principle, but they can adapt flexibly, but my uncle's family can't. I remember a little story my mother told me. Different treatment. But in the end, the Wang family still married their daughter to the unfavored emperor's second son, and then became the concubine of an unfavored prince." Gu Xinyue said, "Even if that bastard later ascended the throne and became the emperor."

"Your mother told you this story?" Wang Jianquan said with emotion, "The persistence and education of generations have become the strength of character from generation to generation. The girl will die willingly, because in her opinion, betrothing to a concubine is a humiliation to her and to the royal family."

"Women from aristocratic families are always more persistent than men." Second Uncle Gu suddenly said, "Just look at the number of women from aristocratic families who were hanged on the beams when the country was broken."

While everyone was sighing, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but think of Shen Heli. If Shen Heli was here, he would probably scoff at these words. He always thought that women were needed to sacrifice because men were useless.Uncle Gu thinks that a woman hangs herself when the country is subjugated and the family is ruined, so that the whole family has a strong reputation. Shen Heli probably thinks that if the woman is allowed to fulfill the integrity, is the man going to eat shit?Life is more important than anything else, and there is no difference between men and women when it comes to precious life.

"If the last dynasty could evolve peacefully and have a constitutional monarchy like the European countries, we would not have suffered such a catastrophe. When other countries are developing rapidly, we have fallen into endless civil wars." Wang Yulin said with emotion.

"Little young man." Uncle Gu said to Wang Jianquan with a smile, and then said to Wang Yulin, "You think a constitutional monarchy is good, but it may not be suitable for El Dorado. He will be willing to make a display, and the cabinet will feel that he should change his name to be justified, and then there will be endless infighting."

"Don't talk about it when you're happy. Come on, I'll just toast to everyone, and to a better and brighter tomorrow." Seeing the gloomy atmosphere at the table, Gu Xinqian raised his glass and said.
