Qin Mingchun returned to the main courtyard with a droopy face, and first went to his aunt-in-law to greet him. Mrs. Wang was talking to an old man from her parents' family. Seeing that he was dejected, she couldn't help but smile and greet him over.
"Why are you so sullen, but you don't understand what you are reading?"
Qin Mingchun shook his head and said, "It was my eldest sister who taught me a lesson."
Mrs. Wang was a little surprised: "Your eldest sister is back?"
"Um."
"What did she teach you?" Ms. Wang was somewhat interested.
Qin Liuxi is a person who doesn't mind his own business, but he can discipline Qin Mingchun. There must be something wrong with this child that makes her look down on him.
Qin Mingchun looked up at her and saw a smile on his aunt's lips. After thinking about it, he briefly explained what Qin Liuxi had taught him, and finally said: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to study anymore, I just watch my fourth brother all day long.
I kept talking about studying and becoming an official, and then I thought of asking."
"Your eldest sister is right. When we study, we don't talk about whether we can become officials in the future. Just for the sake of enlightenment, we have to study." Mrs. Wang touched his head and said: "The Qin family passed down poems and books.
Although the family is defeated now, it is not to the point where you cannot study. Just like your eldest sister said, to calculate accounts, you have to be literate and read account books, right? Your eldest sister also has good words and bitter words, don’t do it.
Annoys her."
Qin Mingchun whispered: "How dare I not be afraid that she will beat me."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Go and talk to your aunt."
Qin Mingchun bowed and left.
The Zhang family said, "Madam, you are quite tolerant of the fifth young master, and you are also tolerant of the eldest lady."
Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea and said: "Although the child is not my biological child, I think he is a good child. Their aunt Wan is a person who can be understood at a glance. She doesn't have so many things."
In a roundabout way, she is regarded as this aunt, and she has made it clear from the moment she entered the house and served tea, that she came here to enjoy happiness and wealth, and she has a good heart and a pair of children, but they are born upright."
The Zhang family listened quietly.
"We only have one wife and one concubine in this house. Speaking of competing for favor, you know me. From the time I got married, I have never had any thoughts about winning the hearts of the two people. I just choose a family and choose one person to live with.
As for Mrs. Wan, she only sees wealth and beauty, and she lives a more comfortable life than I, the mistress. Her wives and concubines each take what they need, which is a bit more peaceful and worry-free than other concubines."
The Zhang family thought of Wan Yiniang and understood what Wang said, except that she was just a straw bag beauty.
However, they worked hard and gave birth to a pair of children. The daughter seemed to be so strong. This Wan family was a lucky one. She had a good mistress, good children, and a good destiny.
"The eldest son's children are not prosperous. I am not lucky. I can't keep the second son, but only the third son. Now the mother and son are separated." Mrs. Wang stroked the tea cup and said: "Now I return to this old house and look at this
Having two children gives me some comfort. To be honest, it’s just me being selfish.”
The Zhang family members quickly said: "Madam, you can't think like this. You are kind-hearted. You didn't bother to give birth to children. It's because they have a good life."
Mrs. Wang smiled relievedly: "If you say you are kind-hearted, you are helping each other and comforting each other."
"When the second young master comes back and reunites with the family, you can keep the cloud clear." Zhang's family said dryly.
"I hope so."
Qin Liuxi came over to say hello, said a few words, and made an excuse not to come in the evening to calm down in the morning and dusk. He went back to rest for a while. Seeing that dusk was approaching, he took the tangerine peel out again.
