At this time, Zhou Sheng's father could only pray that his youngest son could stand up for himself and gain fame within the scope of spending one hundred and fifty taels of silver. If one day he goes underground, his parents will blame him for this matter.
If so, then he has something to say. Anyway, this daughter-in-law was chosen by her parents, and he didn't have to marry her.
The two people in the room had reached an agreement, and Zhou Sheng's mother kept telling Zhou Sheng's father about the beautiful and desirable prospects that his younger son would have if he could pass the exam and become a scholar.
After talking for a long time, Zhou Sheng's mother suddenly said: Hey, I'm talking about the head of the family, do you think that if our youngest son really gets some merit and honors, will he really turn his back on others?
He now understood in his heart that if someone came to ask for money, it was definitely not him. If his son really wanted to get the rest of the family out of the way, it was not impossible. So at the beginning, Zhou Sheng's father said that
After all, he is his son who is closest to him, so he should not do such a treacherous thing, but nothing can be done to prevent this. Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng's mother couldn't help but hesitate again.
Zhou Sheng's father was helpless. He talked to him so much, and finally finally agreed and asked the woman to set aside fifty taels for his youngest son to study. Then he spent so much effort painting for him.
I ordered a piece of pie, I just hope that this woman
I will be able to make things easier for my younger son in the future, but I didn’t expect that this woman would go around in circles and return to the original question. Could it be that he still used the same reason to persuade him? Obviously, this woman is no longer as easy to persuade as she was just now.
.
Zhou Sheng's father speculated in his heart that maybe he should take a strong dose of medicine, otherwise this woman would have to worry about whether she would sleep tonight.
Zhou Sheng's father knew that if he didn't give this woman a strong dose of medicine tonight, he would not let him go to bed very late. This was the problem that would never end. However, Zhou Sheng's father had long been used to it and had to sleep on it every day.
It took more than eighteen hours for him to
He didn't want to spend such a night with his mother-in-law on this issue, so he could only evaluate it for a long time and then immediately said, what's so difficult about this? In fact, you don't have to worry at all.
Will not listen to us.
The words of Zhu Sheng's father immediately made Zhou Sheng's mother's eyes light up. He didn't know why his man suddenly became so tough. When he mentioned this issue before, he had always been talking about his son's character.
Yes, such a problem would not arise at all. On the surface, Zhou Sheng's mother would certainly agree. Who would think that the son she educated would not listen to her?
But in fact, Zhou Sheng's mother was really worried about this question, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to ask it again and again, and finally the question came back to this question, so when Zhou Zhong's father said that he didn't need to ask this question at all
Worried, of course Zhou Sheng's mother would be very interested, so Zhou Sheng's mother opened her eyes wide and listened intently to what Zhou Sheng's father was going to say next.
In fact, Zhou Sheng's father was very surprised. After all, he, who never cared about his son, never worried about this issue. On the contrary, it was his mother-in-law who cared about this issue endlessly. Could it be that he really did not care about his son?
What bad things had happened in her life that made her always worried that her second son would abandon them in the future.
But Zhou Sheng's father tried hard to think back for a long time, but his mind was empty. He really couldn't remember what it was like when his mother-in-law got along with his second son. After all, he was too young to leave the house.
I pay too little attention to the trivial matters at home.
But no matter what, in order for him to sleep peacefully tonight, he quickly said what he was thinking just now.
Damn it, you have to know that now my second son is studying in a private school. That is what scholars care about most. Apart from their public status, the most important thing is their reputation.
When Zhou Sheng's father said this, Zhou Sheng's mother immediately reacted. It seemed that he had indeed heard someone say that scholars love face most. They care about others. In the end, they are like this. They can't even say a bad word to others outside.
, none of them would say it easily, and it seemed that they really wanted to understand this. He nodded hurriedly, and continued to stare at his man with wide eyes, hoping that he could say the words that a true younger son would not abandon them.
Seeing that after hearing what he said, his mother-in-law was still staring at Zhou Sheng's father with wide eyes, she knew that he didn't understand the meaning of her words at all, so she could only patiently explain to him carefully.
I just said that what scholars love most is their reputation, that is, they cherish themselves the most.
If they get a bad reputation, even if the scholar has real talent and knowledge, even if he passes the exam, he will be looked down upon by others. Even because of, well, poor condition, he may not be the one who passed the exam.
There is no point in trying to be fair, there are many people who will pull him down.
Zhou Sheng's mother listened to her man's words with great interest. At this moment, she felt that her man was not so useless. Anyway, Zhou Sheng's mother felt that the words he said were very reasonable, and these
Although he could understand every sentence, they were connected together. She didn't know what they meant. They must be some very profound words. But she was a little anxious. She didn't know why her husband said so many words. He just wanted to
Do you know why the husband is so sure that his youngest son will not abandon them?
Zhou Sheng's father was helpless. He had said it so clearly. Why didn't this woman understand? She still looked like she was waiting for her answer. There was no other way. Zhou Sheng's father could only say it bluntly. If the second son got there,
When the time comes, if we don't care if a person goes to get promoted and make a fortune, there will be people who will poke him in the back. Without us taking action, there will be many scholars who will pull him down. By then, he will be ruined and his life will be worse than before.
It's still miserable now.
As a father, Zhou Sheng's father was of course unwilling to speak so directly about his son. He always felt that it would be a harm to his son, but he had no choice but to understand the meaning of his words.
The subtext can only be understood by talking to him in the most direct way. Fortunately, this time, Zhou Sheng's mother finally understood the meaning of his words.
