The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Feng couldn't help laughing after Chen Gui coaxed her with a few words.Yin also said: "My parents are old, so it's hard to save some books. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid they will wait to make coffin books in the future. Besides, girls study at home, just looking for a literate female teacher to teach them." It’s all just to read a few words, after all, it’s no more expensive than the imperial examination for the imperial examination, and it’s more money for social activities. Every month’s Shu Xiu pen and ink, no matter where you save it, it’s all saved. There’s no need to worry about the old man’s sip Zi Ti himself. It will be passed on, not to mention that my parents are considerate of our family’s increase in population and cost a lot, it’s as if I can’t tolerate my widowed sister and two nieces.”

"...Our family has been on the cusp of the storm for the past few months, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the joke. I really don't want to make any more troubles, so I have to wrong you."

Chen Gui's heart-to-heart words made Feng's heart soften immediately.Besides, she wasn't trying to sell things quickly, she couldn't tolerate people.Just because she hates that Chen's widow still insists on bossing her around when she returns home, she can't help being tit-for-tat.Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law are considerate and understanding, and her husband is gentle and considerate, Feng immediately walked down the steps and said with a smile, "You know I was wronged. It's not me complaining, my aunt's temper, let alone yes I, whoever's daughter-in-law can't get along with her. I just look at my parents-in-law and your affection, so I don't care about her. "

Hearing this, Chen Gui walked up to Feng Shi with a smile on his face, rubbed her shoulders while rubbing his ears together and said: "I know it all. You are the most virtuous. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

When Feng heard this, she couldn't help but glared at Chen Gui, and said in her mouth, "You know how to coax me. When it's Zhenzhanger, it's not that you are the whole family, and I'm an outsider again."

The amorous mood flowed between the eyebrows that were pretending to be angry, and Chen Gui's heart felt hot when he saw it.While embracing Feng's sweet words to coax people, he still thought to himself: "Sure enough, brother Zichuan's words are right, this woman wants to be coaxed. As long as the woman coaxing in the bed is happy, everything can be discussed. It's better than her usual cold brows, making the whole family uneasy."

It's night, and naturally it's a good one. Needless to say, it's a good time.

Early the next morning, the couple brought a pair of children to the main hall to pay their respects to their parents.After seeing Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Feng's expression was rare and pleasant.Seeing this, Mrs. Chen was a little surprised, her eyes like autumn water rolled around her brother Chen Gui, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a half-smile.The spikes on his body were somewhat restrained.

Everyone talked about the warmth and warmth of each other, and Feng looked at the silent elder sister and second sister beside Chen, with flower-like appearances, carved in pink and jade, making people more and more fond of them.It's just that the clothes on her body are too thin and plain, which makes her look more and more pitiful.A trace of pity flashed in Feng's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Now that the weather is getting colder and coming up, the eldest sister and the second sister should also wear two thick clothes. It happens that the family also needs to add winter clothes. The eldest sister and the second sister What color do you like, tell your aunt, and your aunt will choose it for you."

Old Mrs. Chen then smiled and said: "They are all children, how can they know what suit is good, you should choose it for them."

After all, he winked at Chen Shi again.Chen Shi pursed her lips indiscriminately, and thanked Feng Shi with a smile.Feng Shiyin said with a smile: "It's just some leather clothing, it's not worth anything. It's a pity to leave it for nothing, not to mention they are all from my own family."

Listening to Feng's words, Mrs. Chen thought about it carefully, and felt a little uncomfortable.Just as I was about to say something, my eyes touched my parents and brother who were smiling but silent, and it was hard to say.After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Rao'er needs a good pen and ink to practice calligraphy now. Although I can't read, when I married into the Zhao family, because that dead ghost was still making progress, the family fell down. I married a good inkstone and a few ingots of Hui ink. Now the inkstone is gone, but there are two ingots of Hui ink left. I don’t know a single word, so it’s useless to keep it. I’ll give it to Raoer.”

Feng Shi was surprised when he heard this.I don't know when Mrs. Chen became so generous.Chen Gui frowned and persuaded, "Sister should keep such a good thing for herself. You're still young, and you won't need such a good thing——"

"It is because he is young that he should be given good advice. In this way, when he reads and practices calligraphy, he will naturally know how to cherish it. That is better than others. For people like us, whether things are good or not is secondary. If you will be successful in the future, it will be better than anything else." Chen scrambled, waved his hands impatiently, and said: "The things are kept in my room, and I will order someone to deliver them to my sister-in-law in a while, and my sister-in-law will keep them." stop."

Mrs. Feng glanced at Mrs. Chen, and then turned her head to look at Chen Gui. Chen Gui was still full of excuses, but in the end she couldn't resist Mrs. Chen, because she said with a smile: "If that's the case, let your sister-in-law keep it. Wait for it in two days. The teacher celebrated his birthday, so he gave it as a birthday gift. They are so noble and literati, and they love these pens, inks, papers and inkstones the most. I was worried about what to give. I didn't expect to miss the good things of my sister at this time."

Mrs. Chen said with a partial smile: "They are all from my own family. It's a pity to let them go for nothing. Why don't you just let Raoer use them."

Chen Gui then told his son Chen Wei, "Since you got something good from your aunt, why don't you thank your aunt?"

Chen Rong stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Feng, thanking her very much.Mrs. Chen cried out with a smile, and said: "My aunt has seen that you are good at reading since you were a child. In the future, when you enter the imperial examination and become an official, you will also be a high-ranking official. I will give your mother and your daughter-in-law an order to earn back."

Chen Rong's face turned red, he bowed his head and remained silent.

Mrs. Chen frowned, because she said: "It's just that she is shy and has a bad temper. She is like your mother. She can't beat a fart with three sticks. It's not like our family."

Before saying a word, Feng Shi just smiled, because he said: "It's getting late, I think the father-in-law and mother-in-law are hungry, how about passing the meal?"

Old Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "Let's set up the meal in the small flower hall. Everyone eats lively, and then we can go our separate ways."

Feng's only answer is.Get up, Zhang Luo, the women and maids, set up tables and chairs, and set up dishes and meals.The Chen family has a small family, and there is no such rule that the Hou Men's government must make the daughter-in-law stand and wait, and there is no such thing as eating without talking or sleeping.And with Mrs. Chen being so outspoken and fond of joking, this breakfast was naturally lively.

After dinner, Chen Gui went back to his room and changed into his court clothes to go to the yamen to order his hair. Chen Gui went to school, and the rest of them dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Mrs. Chen is a widow. She lives at home and cannot move around, and it is not easy to see outsiders.It's either picky about the chicken and duck being too greasy, or the soup is too light and salty, which makes the whole family feel uneasy.Mrs. Chen couldn't see it, so she urged Mrs. Feng to take her eldest and second sisters to learn how to do needlework in the room, and surrounded Mrs. Chen to chant scriptures and worship Buddha with herself in the Buddhist hall.

Suddenly, about a month later, Feng's eldest sister-in-law came to visit and said that the female teacher who Feng had asked her to pay attention to a few days ago finally had a candidate.
