He pointed to the scar on his face: "At that time, I was standing on the slope, someone pushed me, and I rolled down... I said someone pushed me, but he said he was watching and said
I fell by myself. How could he lie when he said no one pushed me? Someone really pushed me, and they pushed me very hard..."
Tang Shijin's eyes widened in surprise.
When Brother Lei was injured, she still had the impression that it was said that it was Tang Shiheng, Mrs. Zhu and Brother Lei who were on the hillside. Then Brother Lei rolled down the mountain and fell into a pile of rocks, knocking his head and face.
Injured, almost lifeless!
Later, the other injuries gradually healed, but the injury on the right side of the face was too deep, leaving a deep scar.
You must know that the ancient imperial examinations focused on "body, speech, writing, and judgement", and "body" refers to appearance. This would directly end Brother Lei's path to the pediatric examination!
This was actually recommended by Zhu?
She absolutely believed that the little guy was not lying, so Tang Shiheng had perjured himself as evidence to Mr. Zhu??
This was really... so scumbag that she couldn't believe it!
Thinking back again, before that, Brother Lei memorized a section of the Three-Character Sutra, showing a memory that far surpassed that of Brother Rui... Is this the reason why Zhu took action?
And did Tang Shiheng just happen to do it, or did he promote and let go of this behavior for some reason?
If you think about it carefully, there may be nothing!
Tang Youde really taught him a good son through words and deeds!
Tang Shijin took a long breath, touched his swollen and painful right cheek, and said to himself, I have to think carefully, it is best to make them dog bite dogs, and not let any leaves touch me.
At this moment, the eldest girl was clinging to Tang Shiheng.
No wonder Tang Shijin had to point out the issue of "separate seats for men and women at the age of seven". The Zhu family took this route, and the eldest daughter unconsciously went in this direction.
Da Yaer said coquettishly: "Did you really hit her?"
Tang Shiheng said: "She is disobedient and disrespects her mother and eldest sister, so I will naturally teach her a lesson."
As he spoke, Tang Shijin took brother Lei's hand and came in.
She covered her face with one hand and apologized to Mrs. Zhu as soon as she entered the door: "Er Niang, my brother just hit me and said that I was disrespectful to Er Niang. I am young and ignorant. Please don't argue with me."
Zhu Dabailian, of course, had to pretend to be a good person at this time, stood up hurriedly and said: "What! Brother Heng, you are the same! How can you hit your sister! Come on, let Er Niang take a look, but the hit is serious! This is not
Does it make me feel bad?"
She quickly pulled her hand away, revealing half of her red face.
After all, Tang Xiaobailian's level was still low, so her face was immediately filled with pride and joy, and she couldn't hold it back.
Zhu's hands froze.
The half of her face was strangely red, but not swollen at all. It was obviously rouge!
Especially when Tang Shijin secretly glanced at Tang Shiheng... Zhu was so angry. Well, they were really brother and sister! They were obviously working together to fool her!
But she didn't show anything on her face, she just said: "Ouch, why did it hit you so hard! Er Niang soaked the handkerchief and applied it on you!"
Tang Shijin was "shocked" and hurried away: "No, don't bother Er Niang, I can do it myself!"
Mrs. Zhu even sneered!
As a straight man who was not yet married, Tang Shiheng didn't notice anything was wrong at all. He felt that everything was under control and looked on with a smile.
Tang Shijin glanced at Tang Shiheng again and said, "Second mother, I'm going to cook."
She ran out quickly.
Tang Shiheng felt that things were going well. He watched her go out and even scraped Da Ya'er's nose affectionately: "Are you satisfied?"
He stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to school too."
He went out to the east room.
After a while, Tang Shijin "quietly" got up and went to the east room.
At this moment, the two women in the room had just finished their exchange.
The eldest girl was so angry that when she saw Tang Shijin sneaking past the door, she immediately followed him secretly.
Tang Shijin waited for a moment to confirm that the "ear" on the partition wall was in place, and then asked Tang Shiheng: "Brother, am I pretending to be the same?"
"Well, be good," Tang Shiheng said, "It's hard for you."
"It doesn't matter!" Tang Shijin said: "I know you taught me these things for my own good! As long as my brother can study, I can do anything you ask me to do! What should I do next?"
He said: "Just be obedient. If you need to do anything, my elder brother will come to you privately."
Tang Shijin came out and was not surprised to see the skirt of her skirt that quickly retreated.
She went back to the kitchen, and the eldest girl also returned to the main room angrily.
After learning the words, Mrs. Zhu was so furious: "Okay! No wonder Erya'er seems to have changed a lot these days, it turns out he was the one behind it all! He's pretending well! He's really an ignorant white-eyed wolf!
"
The eldest daughter wrings her hands angrily: "Mom, what should I do now?"
Mrs. Zhu sneered and said: "You are planning on my money, and you still do this with me! Let's see how I deal with him!"
The eldest girl hesitated and said: "Didn't you say that eldest brother can't move?"
"Of course he won't move. He has to wait for grandma to think about it!" Zhu said, "I'll teach him to be good first!"
Zhu's methods are very like those of a royal family.
In the Tang Dynasty, the scumbag returned to scum, and his knowledge was really good. He attended the village school for nearly ten years, and now he has achieved a little success. The village school teacher is a scholar and appreciates him very much. There is nothing to teach him about being modest. It is also a favor...
Therefore, I stopped practicing Buddhism and continued to interact with him, just waiting for the end in the coming year.
So now Tang Shiheng's class time is not strict. He basically studies at home, and then goes out to the village school from time to time, or asks Tang Youde for advice.
But Tang Youde had actually given up on the imperial examinations. He claimed to be ill and failed to take the exams for several years. Most of the time he "didn't teach", so teachers in the village school were indispensable.
Tang Shiheng knew how to be a good person. Since his husband did not practice self-cultivation, he would bring some gifts at the beginning of every month. It was the same idea.
However, gifts cost money.
Normally Mrs. Zhu would help him buy it in advance, or Tang Shiheng would hint that I was going to see my husband... Mrs. Zhu would buy it for him. Although Mrs. Zhu was stingy, she was very smart. She had to give it sooner or later anyway, so she usually would.
It's very beautiful, and it captures your love.
Therefore, Tang Shiheng could naturally ignore the ordinary affairs and accept it with nobility.
So Zhu planned to control him, but it was very easy. Tang Shiheng couldn't help mentioning it twice. Zhu said: "Brother Heng, you also know that the family has been spending a lot of money recently, and Brother Rui still hasn't done anything yet."
Being sick...life is difficult, nothing better than Erya getting married!"
Tang Shiheng thought he understood what she said, but he also wanted to be ashamed. There was no way he would let his sister ask her godfather for money! What would people say about him if word spread?
Tang Shijin saw this and took the initiative, "How about I ask my godfather?"
She suddenly thought of something: "How about this, Rui Geer's ointment is almost used up, I pretend to ask my godfather for the ointment!"
Of course Mrs. Zhu supports this. Didn't she think so before: "Erya is interested!"
So Tang Shijin ran away.
At this time, Tofu House had just sent the money privately, so Tang Shijin took a couple of silver and asked Doctor He to help him buy that ointment.
Dr. He and his son often went to the town and bought them back.
But this jar of medicine was worth one or two cents. Tang Shijin looked embarrassed and didn't mention the two cents. The He family thought they understood, so they naturally didn't mention it, and they won't mention it in the future.
So Tang Shijin took the medicine back and gave it directly to Tang Shiheng: "Brother! Go and pawn it, you will have money!"
Something was wrong with Zhu's face at that time.
You know, one tael of silver is not small money. She told Tang Youde once before that Tang Youde meant that there was no need to buy more when it was good enough... But now that there was a ready-made medicine, she had to pawn it to buy something for him.
?
Especially seeing that Tang Shiheng actually accepted it without refusing??
Zhu forced a smile and said: "If you pawn, you will lose a lot of money. Your brother is still lying in bed!"
Tang Shijin said softly: "Er Niang, my brother's future...isn't it important?"
Even she herself was covered in goosebumps.
Da Yaer said anxiously: "Brother Rui can't keep up with the medicine, what should I do if the scars are left!"
Tang Shijin lowered his eyes and said, "But this money is what my godfather and I asked for, just for my brother..."
