"You, you...you are cheating! This time it doesn't count!"
What kind of chicken? What kind of egg? What are these things? How can Sai Jiangnan be convinced that this big liar used such childish tricks to play with him?
Xue Zhixiang was not convinced either, but Jiangnan was making trouble. If he didn't stop it, he might lose both his knowledge and his magnanimity.
Even though she was unwilling, Zhixiang had to smile, stop Jiangnan from messing around, and then respectfully saluted Xia Shang: "Sir, there is no need to continue today's competition. Zhixiang is convinced."
"Sister, why don't we compete? He just knows some weird tricks, but he doesn't win with his real ability."
"You still say! Do you think your sister is a person who cannot afford to lose?" Zhixiang said angrily.
"Sister...I...I didn't mean that."
"Okay. My sister understands, but she really lost today. Regardless of the topic of the previous policy discussion, I originally agreed on the four questions of calligraphy and painting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In both piano and chess games, my sister lost. I have nothing to say.
Although there was no comparison between the two competitions of calligraphy and painting, my sister had violated the original agreement by changing the topic temporarily, so there was no need to compete, and my sister fell behind. So, no matter what the result is today, Zhixiang has actually lost."
Zhixiang sighed, lowered her head and bowed to Xia Shang: "Zhixiang is willing to admit defeat. From now on, your husband is not only Jiangnan's husband, but also my Zhixiang's husband. Sir, please be polite."
Zhixiang's greeting was not sincere. She was a lady after all. No matter how well she hid it, she would always have the temperament that a lady should have. After saying this, she walked towards the door of the house.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhixiang has always been sought after by others and has never encountered any setbacks, especially in her knowledge.
Today's defeat was a complete defeat.
Before, Biqin was really excited and had some admiration for Mr. Xia Chunqiuxia. He gave up completely out of humility, thinking that Qinyi always lost and he could bring back the next three items.
In this way, it not only gives your husband face, but also does not reflect your own demeanor, so you will definitely be appreciated by others.
But who would have thought that he would lose so completely in the next game of chess?
Let the four men lose, and there will be less than eighty moves.
This defeat was completely beyond Zhixiang's ability to bear. It could be said that it completely shattered her confidence. She lost the will to continue the competition as soon as she stepped off the chessboard.
Zhixiang felt tired, but begged to leave as soon as possible. She tried her best to maintain her last breath, said the last words, and left.
The girls also noticed that Sister Zhixiang was behaving differently than usual, and when they saw her leaving, they all followed her. Anyway, they would not get the subsequent chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions".
The Sai Mansion, which was quite lively just now, soon became the only ones left with the Sai family's mother, daughter, husband, and maids.
After all the guests had left, Mrs. Sai came to her daughter with a sullen face: "Have you had enough trouble?"
The mother's expression was unkind. Jiang Nan quickly straightened up and lowered his head, looking pitiful as if he was accepting the teachings of the party organization.
"It's rare for my mother to find you such a capable husband! It's better for you. If you don't respect your teacher properly and make such a fuss, what are you going to do? Do you want your husband to make a fool of himself in public? I saw you being honest for a few days before, and I still
The Tao is to know when you have gone astray, and when you calm down your mind, you never think about it and become more and more unprepared!"
"mother……"
"you shut up!"
Jiang Nan trembled with fright. He hadn't seen his mother so angry for a long time, but he didn't understand why his mother was treating him like this for an outsider. She pursed her lips in grievance.
Mrs. Sai kept sternly saying: "Thankfully, Mr. Xia is very resourceful today. If the girl from the Xue family really steals the limelight, it will not only be embarrassing for Mr. Xia, but also our mother and daughter! Others will say that you are uneducated, and you turned to outsiders to deal with it."
My husband doesn’t understand dignity and does not distinguish between importance and importance. I don’t know how many people see our mother and daughter’s jokes! What a shame that you, an unfilial daughter, are so complacent that you help outsiders speak for you!”
After being reminded by her mother, Jiang Nan's delicate body trembled, and she realized that she had made a big mistake.
After all, a husband is a husband. Whether he admits it or not, he is his husband from the moment he steps into the Sai Mansion and takes the money from the Sai family. And he has been without a father since he was a child and was raised by his mother. In such a situation
, Sir is her father and brother, how can any woman find outsiders to deal with her father and brother?
I don’t know how many rumors it has caused when this matter spreads. And my mother has been tolerant and cautious all these years, just for fear of attracting rumors. What is the reason? Isn’t it just for her own reputation?
It is understandable to be willful and unruly in the past, but what happened today is contrary to the ethics and faith respected by people all over the world, and it is an absolutely unforgivable mistake.
"Mother...Jiangnan, Jiangnan knows that he was wrong."
Jiang Nan blushed and almost buried her head in her chest.
"Now that you've made your mistake, why don't you apologize to sir?"
"Apologise? You want me to apologize to him..."
"What? You still don't want to?"
Jiang Nan realized his mistake because of his mother, not because of this big liar! He wanted to apologize to this big liar? How could he say it out loud? But his mother was by his side...
Helpless, Jiang Nan came to Xia Shang reluctantly. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Xia Shang.
"That's all, how can there be an apology between master and disciple? Even if the student makes a mistake, I, the teacher, also have an unshirkable responsibility. Fortunately, no joke was made today, and Jiangnan has a heart of repentance again. Madam, please stop
Reprimanded her."
Huh?!
Is this big liar actually acting upright?
Given his evil intentions, shouldn't he just take it in stride and then take the opportunity to lecture him?
This is not his character!
Xia Shang didn't hear Jiang Nan's inner voice. If he heard it, he wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh. He never thought that a student who didn't get along well with him could understand him so thoroughly.
In this situation, it is really not his character to ask Xia Shang to let things go.
Xia Shang hasn't finished speaking yet, what comes next is the key.
"Jiangnan, you and I don't have to say those secular words between master and disciple. But as a master, I have to teach you well for your mother. You are also twenty-eight years old, but you are still playful. What you say and do always make your mother worry. As a son and daughter,
, not only respecting parents, respecting parents is filial piety. There is one thing that children should do in their lives, which is to make their parents feel at ease. Think about it, have you done anything to make your mother feel at ease?"
"I……"
"Listen to me." Xia Shang interrupted Jiang Nan, "Mr. Lao She once said that without a mother's care, it is like a flower in a vase. Although it has fragrance and color, it has no roots. Don't you think a mother is so important? Just
As important as roots are to flowers! Mr. Gorky also said that all the glory and pride in the world come from the mother. Mr. Dante also said that there is the most beautiful voice in the world, and that is the call of the mother. Hugo...
"
"Sir, sir, please stop talking."
"No! Sir, I want to say it again! You have to go back and forth in a moment, just like you are afraid of starvation in the nest. After thirty days of hard work, the mother is thin and the chicks are getting fatter. It is the fifteenth year of Caiyi, and I am in front of my loving mother. It is in the hands of a loving mother.
Threads, the clothes on the wanderer's body. Before leaving, they are closely sewed, for fear..."
"Sir! Stop talking! I was wrong. Isn't it okay for Jiangnan to know that he was wrong?"
"Do you really realize your mistake?"
Jiang Nan's head almost exploded. It was the first time he saw such a nagging gentleman: "I really know my mistake. I know it from head to toe."
"Now that you know you're wrong, why are you still standing there? Reach out your hand and prepare to be punished."
After that, Xia Shang showed the ruler he had been lonely for a long time. (To be continued)
