The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Because of what happened to Feng's family, Feng didn't think about anything else, and immediately got up and looked at Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen.Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Since something like this happened, the Feng family must be in a lot of chaos right now, so you should go quickly. And don't take Linger and Sister Wan with you, lest the mess be ignored."

He also ordered Mrs. Feng to take care of the two of them, because he said: "It's cold and the road is slippery, so we two will not go there. It will save trouble for our in-laws. If there is any news, send someone back in time to tell."

Then he said to Chen Gui: "I originally thought about dismissing the Zhang family, so I had to treat the Xu family well to express my gratitude. Who would have thought this happened again. I remember the year before last because I had a cold, and I took a lot of medicine, but I couldn't help it." Alright. The Xu family recommended an old gentleman, but it’s enough to take two doses of medicine. Would you like to write another handwritten letter to the Xu family, and ask them to invite that gentleman to come, so that the in-laws can have a look. Don't delay it."

One sentence reminded Feng Shi, who was busy looking at Chen Gui.

Chen Gui frowned and said: "That gentleman was originally the teacher that Brother Zichuan studied when he was young. Later, Brother Zichuan was named on the Gold List, and that gentleman had already resigned from the library and returned to Jiangnan. The year before last was just a chance meeting. This gentleman is looking for a way for his son to seek an official, so where is he going to find someone now."

Mrs. Chen was very anxious when she heard this, and seeing Feng's fidgeting, she hurriedly waved his husband and wife back to their room to change clothes.He also asked the outside to prepare the carriage, and still did not forget to order: "It's cold and the road is slippery, drive slowly. The most important thing is to be safe."

With Mrs. Chen at the side, she couldn't help comforting her parents, saying something like "Old lady Feng has always been strong and strong, and she is a lucky person, so there must be no danger".

When I was young, Chen Rong and the girls ate sticky bean buns, and once again enjoyed the snow in the back garden. The second sister thought that it was late, and the adults must have said something, and now they have finished talking. So he made a fuss about going back to his room to rest.

Sister Wan and Eldest Sister were also flushed from the cold, they rubbed their hands and ears with a smile and said, "It's time to go back. I'm already cold."

Chen Rong was still standing in the snow, pacing back and forth, shaking his head.Seeing his appearance, the second sister clapped her hands to keep warm, and joked with a smile: "Cousin Rong originally said that he wanted to appreciate Xue's poetry, but this snow has also appreciated it. Where are the poems?"

Chen Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no. Youdao is a natural thing, and it's so easy to get it by chance."

The sisters laughed even more when they heard this.The second sister stood there, pointed at Chen Rong and said with a smile, "I have a poem just for Cousin Rou."

Everyone was surprised, Chen Wan hurriedly asked with a smile: "What poem, read it quickly and let us listen to it?"

The second sister shook her head and said: "The bookworm's real name is Radi, and he is a proud student of poetry. In the harsh snow, he ponders and wanders again. Instead of thinking about the hollowness in his stomach, he argues that there are few articles. Let's look at the current snow, which is not as beautiful as the exchanges."

The second sister Youyou hadn't finished reading, everyone was already laughing, and even the maids and women who were waiting around were laughing to and fro.Chen Rong looked at the crowd making fun of them, and pointed at his second sister in dumbfounding, "What kind of nonsense poem is this? You're cursing, and you still say it's a poem. It's getting trickier, and I'm going to tell my aunt."

After all, the gesture is about to leave.The second sister is okay, Chen Wan and the eldest sister hurried forward to stop her, the eldest sister apologized softly, but Chen Wan smiled and said: "You are still a man who can read and write. You can't compare with the second sister in terms of poetry. Forget it, why are you still so stingy now that you have to sue someone? Don't tell me to look down on you and spit on you."

The second sister walked forward with a smile on her face, bowed herself to Chen Rong and apologized, "Good cousin, I was just joking. Don't be seriously upset. I will apologize to you now. Your old man There are a lot of adults, please forgive me."

Chen Rongyuan also meant to laugh, not seriously annoyed.Seeing that the second sister came to make amends again, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Look, is it true? Are you only allowed to write poems to make fun of me, and not allow me to scare you?"

After finishing speaking, he praised the second sister for her talent, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the second sister to be able to write poems at such a young age, and she hasn't studied for a few days. It really should be a good time to learn, Mo Live up to this affection is."

When the second sister heard this, she laughed and said: "Cousin Rong is seriously teasing me, and he shouldn't have tarnished the poem. If the poem I just wrote was also called a poem, my eldest sister will be able to take the number one exam tomorrow." "

When the eldest sister heard the second sister lead the conversation to herself, she couldn't help but smiled and beat the second sister for a while.He said in his mouth, "I've never stopped kicking your frivolous and mouthless little hoof. I've made fun of my cousin, and come to recruit me again."

Chen Rong said with a smile: "It's not that the second younger sister wrote the poem well just now, it's just that you have this kind of spirituality, so you should be a good student."

When everyone heard this, they all giggled and didn't take it seriously.Talking and laughing all the way back to the upper room, only to find that except Chen Shi, Feng Shi and Chen Gui are no longer there.I don't feel suspicious.Old Mrs. Chen said: "The Feng family sent someone to invite you. Your master and wife have all gone by car. I didn't ask you to go because it was cold outside and the road was slippery."

Mrs. Chen didn't want to ask a few small questions, so she asked with a smile: "Are the sticky bean buns delicious? What have you been doing outside for so long?"

Chen Wan laughed and said, "Second sister wrote poems to tease big brother. Big brother also said that second sister's poems are well done."

Mrs. Chen and the others were surprised when they heard the words, and asked with a smile: "Is that so, let us listen to any poems you have written."

The second sister smiled and waved her hands, because she said: "It's just a few words of nonsense, so it's poetry."

He laughed again: "I forgot it a long time ago, no one can seriously remember it."

Before he could say a word, Chen Rong was muttering on the sidelines, and he had already recited a doggerel written by the second sister earlier.At the end, he still smiled and said, "This sentence, 'Don't think about the hollowness of the belly, but think about the lack of articles', although it is a vulgar language, but when you think about it carefully, it has a bit of meaning. So I said that the second sister is spiritual, so she should be good at studying."

After listening to this poem, Mrs. Chen sneered disapprovingly, and spat softly: "I know Brother Rong has a good temper, so don't indulge your sister too much. If I only call these vulgar words poetry, then I can compose poetry too. "

Chen Wei laughed and said, "My aunt is wrong too. The second younger sister is only so old, and she can compose such a simple poem after only a few days of schooling, which is not uncommon."

The second sister laughed beside her and said, "Cousin Rou, are you coaxing me, or are you serious about making fun of me?"

Chen Rong smiled and said, "I'm not coaxing you, nor am I making fun of you. I really think so."

The second sister blinked her eyes and said, "Since Cousin Ryo said so, can I borrow a book from you?"

Before he could finish a sentence, Mrs. Chen stopped him. "Let's just stay with you in peace. Your cousin's books are all for the number one exam, and you read them too. You have only learned a few words, and you have become frivolous like this. This is the time to be serious. Female geniuses can't either."

On the other hand, old Mrs. Chen didn't think so, waved his hand slowly and said: "Sister Hui is still so impatient. I can change it sooner or later."

After that, he smiled at the second sister: "Tell me, you want to ask your cousin what book to borrow. If you make it clear, I will lend it to you."

The second sister leaned over and said with a smile: "If I go back to my grandfather, I would like to borrow the current history books."

"Oh?" The second sister's words really aroused the curiosity of the old man Chen, so he asked: "It has always been said that people say that history is a mirror, but what can be read is the history of previous dynasties. It's so good, why do you want to borrow the present? Can you understand the history books?"

The second sister smiled and said: "I don't understand! It's just a story. I wanted to ask Cousin Rong to borrow some scripts, but I guess Cousin Rong is devoted to learning and definitely doesn't have one. That's why I read it." The next best thing is to borrow some current history books. It also means gaining insight."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen silently glanced at Mrs. Chen.Old Mrs. Chen laughed and said: "I heard that the girls of the official family in the capital went to school when they were young, and they could read the "Four Books" at the age of five or six. The second sister of our family is quite clever."

Old Mrs. Chen nodded, smiled and stroked her beard and said to Chen Shi: "Since she has this kind of nature, don't hide it. From now on, you should take care of her when she can learn to read and write. If she is really trained, it will be your blessing."

Chen agreed with a smile.There is no mention of borrowing history books.Mrs. Chen also smiled and mentioned something else, but didn't say whether to borrow or not.

The second sister even smirked and chatted with Chen Wan and the eldest sister.It seems that the matter of borrowing books just now was just casual.

In the evening, Chen Gui and Mrs. Feng came from Feng's house with tired faces.Before returning to the room and changing clothes, first come to the room to greet Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen.At that time, Mrs. Chen had coaxed her eldest and second sisters to sleep, and was free to go to the room to accompany her parents.Chen Rong and Chen Wan's brothers and sisters were also driven to rest by Mrs. Chen.

Chen Gui and Feng's parents had been engaged, so they sat on the lower two grand teacher's chairs with silver and red floral chairs.While beating his legs, Feng took a bowl of warm tea offered by the little girl and drank it down in one gulp.He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.Then he said: "My mother has already woken up. She asked me to say hello to the old man and the old lady. She only said that she was well. It was just a false alarm. If it frightened your two elders, it would be bad. He also said that he missed Brother Rong. Sister He Wan. Nothing else."

When old lady Chen heard this, she recited Buddha's son in her mouth.After hearing Feng's last sentence, Fang said: "It was because I thought that the people from the Feng family would be in such a hurry. I'm afraid the family didn't have the heart to take care of Brother Rong and Sister Wan, so I didn't call them. Since the in-laws are thinking about their grandsons and granddaughters, Tomorrow, you can take their brothers and sisters home to have a look."

When Feng Shi heard about it, she hurriedly said: "How good is this? There are married daughter-in-laws who often bring their children back to their natal homes. It doesn't look like it would be seen by outsiders—"

Before finishing a sentence, Old Master Chen said: "There is a saying that is urgent and right. Although it is not appropriate, it has the same meaning. The most urgent thing is the health of the old in-laws. Let's not mention these trivial rules for the time being."

After hearing this, Mrs. Feng had no choice but to thank her with tears in her eyes.Mrs. Chen was at the side, and the one who was lifting the pot asked, "My sister-in-law hasn't said anything yet, what happened to your natal family? Why did your sister-in-law make the old lady faint? Last time your sister-in-law came, I watched coldly." , she doesn't seem to be such a nonchalant person. Could it be some misunderstanding?"
