The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

According to Chen Gui's intentions, he just wanted to change the name of Mr. Wu's experience, pretending to use the deeds of the previous dynasty, and asked the storytellers and opera singers to compile a drama script and sing it in the streets.If the Zhou family has no other intentions, then this drama is just for people to laugh, and there is no other intention.If the Zhou family is really at ease, and the Chen family has such a well-prepared plan, even if it's not a perfect plan, they won't have to worry about not being able to deal with it when the situation comes to an end.

After all, Chen Gui still picked up the chopsticks and put the ham in his mouth, and said with a smile: "This is the saying, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of preventing others."

After hearing this, everyone in the Chen House pondered for a while, and Feng frowned and said: "This matter is related to Mr. Wu's innocence and privacy. Although we have intentions, we can't make decisions for her. We should discuss it with her and listen to her. What do you mean?"

Chen Gui sneered, and said disapprovingly: "Then let's explain it to her. But I'm ugly, even if she doesn't agree with it, we have to do it like this. We can't just let others do something wrong. What's more, there is no reason in this world to accept others for nothing—"

Before saying a word, Mrs. Chen snorted coldly beside her: "Brother's words are reasonable. She wants the virtuous and virtuous to be wronged for nothing, so she shouldn't burden us. Why bother to pretend to be our teacher. If she had nothing to do with our family, we would be crazy to take such trouble. Now that she is our female teacher, her reputation will involve us The reputation of the daughter of the family. Since this is the case, she can't be fooled by others - she is not afraid of the shit basin on her head, but I am afraid that our daughter will be splashed with sewage."

As soon as the words were finished, Mrs. Chen suddenly remembered the idea she had made earlier, because she said: "I see that Mr. Wu is a man of reading and writing, but he is very confused in his actions. If she is allowed to teach the girls, I am afraid that the girls he teaches will also be confused." It’s not good because they’re all stupid. I thought, we’ll be watching when she teaches the girls to read tomorrow. If there’s something wrong, we can explain it to the girls afterwards. But you must not imitate her pedantic temperament."

When Feng heard this, she felt embarrassed and said: "This is not good. There is no reason, how can we go to her class, it seems like we are worried."

Mrs. Chen sneered and said, "It's just that you don't want to worry about it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Is it better to let her teach the girls to be stupid?"

When Feng heard the words, he remained silent.Half a day later, Mosquito hummed and said, "I still don't think it's appropriate. After all, he was recommended by my sister-in-law, and he and my sister-in-law got along very well in the past. Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face."

Mrs. Chen frowned fiercely, and said angrily: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have provoked my mother and sister-in-law to visit their home. Now it's easier to ask God to send God away."

The old lady Chen looked at Chen's chicken-headed and white face, shook her head helplessly, and said slowly: "It's just a trivial matter. Since the boss has an idea, just follow it slowly." That's right. Why are you so angry. You are also 25 and [-] years old now, and you have a pair of daughters who are so old, why are you still so panic-stricken, and you can't get on the high platform at all. "

When Mrs. Chen saw this, she could only pout in dissatisfaction, while Old Master Chen also said: "Sister Hui's temper is still too impetuous. In the past, I often said you, so it's time to teach her well—if you stay here for the rest of your life with peace of mind. It’s okay to be an aunt at home. If not, you should raise your spirits in the city and learn how to look up and down. It’s always like this, how can I make it happen.”

After hearing Mrs. Chen's words, Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "That's exactly what it means. So I said, Sister Hui should get along well with Mr. Wu on weekdays, and also learn from others' gentleness and virtuousness. It should be known that girls should be chaste and quiet, Mr. Wu can read and write, and his temper is so gentle, I think it is very good. If our sister Hui can be a third of Mr. Wu's docile, I will feel at ease."

Chen Gui knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, so he smiled and said: "It just so happens that Mr. Wu is teaching at home, such a rare opportunity, I also ask Sister Hui to go and listen to Mr. Wu's teachings. I don't expect her I can learn to look good, I just hope that Sister Hui will be by Mr. Wu's side and be influenced by what he sees and hears, and also learn how to behave like a woman at any time, that's all."

This remark had the same meaning as Chen Shi just said, but when Chen Gui said this, it was not because he couldn't trust Mr. Wu, but because he admired Mr. Wu's character, so he had to be close to nurturing him for a while.

Feng's side has also explained, and she is also a little worried about Mr. Wu's pedantry, but because Xiao Sun is a middleman, she can't save face.Now that she has such an excuse, Mrs. Feng is not afraid that Mr. Wu will not be able to get off the stage, so she accepted the job with full satisfaction, and said in her mouth: "Don't worry, I will go talk to her after dinner, and I must talk to her." Make it clear."

Mrs. Chen said: "What was said at the dinner table today is our family's private word, it must not be passed on."

After hearing this, everyone smiled and agreed.Mrs. Chen was still a little worried, so she asked her younger sisters and second sisters once again—fortunately, the eldest sister was gentle and shy, she didn't talk much on weekdays, and she was timid. However, after a few serious instructions and the close maids following her, she is not afraid anymore.

As for the second sister, at least she is an adult who traveled through time in the future, even if no one tells her, she still knows what to say and what not to say.

Old Mrs. Chen gave a warning, then smiled and said to everyone: "Adults talk and talk heart-to-heart, and they seldom shy away from children. But I don't know that some gossip is caused by children's rumors. They are young and don't know Understand the seriousness, but parrots are quick to speak quickly. If there is a rift because of this, it is not beautiful. It is just a matter of giving a few more instructions."

When everyone heard the words, they all praised Mrs. Chen for what she said.Feng Shi laughed and said: "The old lady is still careful, we will never think of these things."

Mrs. Chen nodded, thought for a long time, and still said: "Actually, I shouldn't say this. But since our family invited Mr. Wu, it was our own idea after all. Now something went wrong—don't say it." These are just our selfish speculations, even if there is trouble one day, we shouldn’t blame others for it. It’s as if we didn’t take responsibility.”

After all, he stared at the Chen family with scorching eyes, and warned in his mouth: "Help others with good intentions, but cause dissatisfaction due to temporary tongue-in-cheek. What kind of classy people, but they do not claim to be stupid. Your temperament is because we are too arrogant and indulgent in normal times, and you are more and more outspoken, and you have no calculations in your mouth. As long as you are not happy for a while, there is nothing good or bad No matter what you don't care about it, let it out with your mouth. If there is a way, misfortune comes out of your mouth. From now on, when you get along with Mr. Wu, you must not be so contemptuous, making people think that our Chen family's family education is not good."

Chen didn't care what he was thinking in his heart, but he nodded politely on his face.

Mrs. Chen looked carefully at Mrs. Chen for a while, and still sighed a long time, and said: "Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu are orphans and widows. Let alone rushing to us, we are now living under the same roof. I don't want to Talking about gossip makes it difficult for everyone to get along with each other. It has always been said that it is uncomfortable to live under the fence. Now that we have invited people, we make people happy. If not, it is better to let them go to the house immediately, and save Our family worked so hard, but instead we were blamed and criticized."

These words were very earnest, and when Chen heard her mother say "staying under the fence", she unconsciously thought of herself.She is also a widow, but she also has such a bad family. If she is not lucky, she will rely on her parents and brothers to love her, and she will be willing to support her.Even if the heart is high and arrogant, and the pinch must be strong, I am afraid this will not be much better.

That being the case, why bother to embarrass Mr. Wu seriously.After all, Mr. Wu's heart is soft and he can't stand up, which is also because there is no one in his family.If Mr. Wu can be like himself with his parents and elder brother backing him up, Mrs. Zhou may be like that old godly woman of the Zhao family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen unconsciously lost most of her disgust for Mr. Wu's ignorance.After pondering for a long time, Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I can save it."

Seeing Mrs. Chen like this, Mrs. Chen knew that she really wanted to understand.Yin said with a smile: "Okay, okay, after talking for half a day, the food is cold. Let's ask the stove to take it back to warm up. If it's cold today, it's not good to eat cold food."

After all, he told the little girl to take the food back and reheat the pot before passing it on.It was late at that time, everyone had a random bite, and each of them went back to their rooms to rest.Mrs. Feng went to the guest room where Mr. Wu was staying to chat and talk, and told them face-to-face by changing the words discussed by everyone during the dinner.Mr. Wu pondered for a while, although he didn't want to make trouble from the bottom of his heart, he was afraid that the Zhou family would not be relentless and would bring down the reputation of the Chen family. Shi also dare not see each other again.

What's more, Mr. Wu still has some thoughts in his heart.She is docile by nature, and because of Zhou Pu, she doesn't want to seriously argue with the old lady of the Zhou family.But the clay figurine is still somewhat angry, not to mention that Mr. Wu was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he can read and write, so he is also a high-spirited person.Seeing that the old lady of the Zhou family was not pleasing to the eye, and thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, she refused to tear her face apart, so she just felt aggrieved and angry.Now someone wants to vent their anger on her behalf, even if it is not for her own sake, but after all, it is to make her famous, and Mr. Wu is willing.

Another matter is Mr. Wu's selfish considerations, so it's hard to say it out—since the Chen family intends to make her name clearer, they must praise her in the scripts and dramas.If the Zhou family doesn't cause trouble, let it be. If the Zhou family intends to cause trouble, and the matter is published, then everyone in the world will know her gentleness and virtuousness, and she will be like the previous "Collection of Xianyuan" and "Biography of Women". Like a virtuous woman in the book, her deeds have been spread all over the world.

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Wu is very willing in his heart.But by nature, she hesitated, hesitated, and thought for a long time before agreeing.And for the sake of reputation, I still begged Feng Shi to show her the written script and drama for her to read.

Seeing that Mr. Wu agreed to this matter, Mrs. Feng felt a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.Such a trivial matter - besides, it is the meaning of the question, how should it not be.Immediately patted his chest and agreed, still jokingly said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry. We must act cautiously, and we will definitely not damage your reputation."

Mr. Wu felt his face was burning hot, panicked and ashamed in his heart, twisted his handkerchief while lowering his head and said, "It's not that I'm worried about the family. It's just my own selfishness, I just want to see it."

Mrs. Feng didn't know Mr. Wu's plans, but misunderstood that Mr. Wu was young and shameless, and he didn't want to boast easily.At the moment, he didn't care about it, he still took Mr. Wu's hand and talked and laughed for a while, seeing that the clappers of the second watch had been knocked, he got up and left, and went back to his room to rest.No problem.
