25. Cousin Chen

Shen’s idea is not bad. It can be said that this is a good idea to make a snake seven inches.

No matter how rich Uncle Chen is, he knows in his heart how his money comes from and how he gets salt. Xiao Chen's cousin is a soft-hearted person, Shen can see it early in the morning, but no matter how soft-hearted a person is, if he knows the whole story of her marriage, as long as he is not a dead person, he will not be unresponsive.

Xiao Chen’s current status is that she can support her mother.

Of course, the premise is that Aunt Chen really knows nothing about what her husband does.

It was precisely because Shen's idea that at this moment, Aunt Chen didn't care about her feud with Shen, and she felt that Shen was very wise, so she shamelessly proposed to her nephew to ask Shen to accompany her.

"Me?" Shen was quite surprised. "Three cousins ​​and one cousin has become a family. How could it be my turn if he has a few cousins ​​and sisters-in-law here?" She just couldn't stand the arrogant uncle Chen and couldn't bear to have her husband's trouble for Aunt Chen's affairs, so she gave her husband an idea. Is it OK, and Shen was not sure.

"Yes." He Gong said, "My cousin was a little hurt, and she couldn't get out of her cousin's wife. I have some inappropriate places."

He Gong whispered, "I see what my aunt means. After all, I am a mother-in-law. I have some things that I am afraid that I can't hide my face in front of my daughter-in-law, so I want you to accompany her. Besides, my aunt said you are more smart. Even if you go to the prefecture to visit my cousin, you can't just say this as soon as you go. You have to move from the camera to see the situation before speaking."

Shen was still puzzled, "What should I do? It is normal for me to say that it is not happy that my aunt will know too much about her daughter-in-law. But I am also a niece-in-law. Isn't it a little further than my cousin's sister-in-law?"

He Gong said, "Let's go with my aunt together."

Mrs. Shen felt relieved, "That's OK."

Seeing that his wife was happy to hear him going, He Gong couldn't help but smile, and Shen also smiled, "If it's not for you, I'll let me accompany my aunt. I either don't want to, or I feel unsure."

He Gong comforted his wife, "It's not only you and me, but also my third cousin, we are also going together. We men are careless, so you advise your aunt. If you see your cousin, you will also advise her. Now that things have come to this, people have to see it. Think about the virtuous aunt, who is also a respected person by the whole clan."

Now that things have come to this point, I have to think about it well. Shen understands what her husband means.

This is the first time Shen has gone to the Prefecture in this life. Of course, this is not a shameless thing. Many people are afraid that they will never go to the Prefecture once in their lifetime. However, if they want to go to a big place like the Prefecture, they heard that the Ning family is a very prominent family, so Shen is still a little nervous. This can be seen from her constant cleaning of her dress.

Because the young couple wanted to accompany Aunt Chen to the prefecture, He Zijin had to ask her to take her. In fact, He Zijin wanted to stay at her grandmother's house for a few days. Who knew that her father did not agree and asked Cui'er to temporarily move her small bedding and pillow to He's house. Her father also said to a tone of coaxing the child, "Dad and your mother go out for a few days, Zijin must take good care of her grandmother, okay? I'll buy you nougat when I come back."

He Zijin:...

Shen privately told her daughter, "You can come back in four or five days, and you will be given a hundred dollars by yourself. Don't say you know what to eat and ask Cui'er to buy it for you."

He Zijin's depressed mood improved slightly, and she sighed: As expected, money is the most healing thing no matter when. She sighed, He Zijin was very happy about her first private money. In fact, she also had New Year's money during the New Year. Logically, these should be her private house. Who knows that she received the New Year's money on the first day and was voluntarily forced to hand it over to her mother on the second day. Her mother also called it, "Save it for you, and when will you use it, and return it to you."

If He Zijin had deceived this classic "lie" that had been circulated for many years, she could have been to commit suicide for the second time. So He Zijin insisted on saying, "I want to save myself."

Her mother said, "You save yourself? You have to buy snacks in three days." So Li stopped telling her daughter and took away her New Year's money by force.

Therefore, He Zijin was three years older than him and was still a poor man who had no penny. Now that he received a hundred dollars of pocket money, He Zijin put aside the fact that he could not go to his grandmother's house and said to her mother very sensible, "Don't worry, mom, I will definitely get along well with my grandmother."

Seeing her daughter's obsessive appearance, Shen reflected on her way of education. She had never been mean to her daughter. Shen had only such a daughter. Although she occasionally used scolding to correct her daughter's words, deeds and ideology, she had never been mean to her daughter! To be honest, depending on the He family's family background, it is rare for Shen to pamper her daughter like Shen. In this era, people always valued her son more. Many families have limited conditions, so most of the good things must be provided to her son first. Shen has no son, but even if she has a son, educating her son is like this. In terms of material things, she herself is reluctant to add a new piece of clothing. There is always one for her daughter in the season. There are snacks and food, so He Zijin has never been short of it.

Do you think it is easy to raise your daughter to be round and white? Shen raised He Zijin like a pot of precious orchids. He didn't dare to compare with rich families. He Zijin didn't lack anything. So, how did he develop the problem of this daughter's wealth?

Seeing her daughter smiling at her eyes and counting copper coins, Shen felt that her education must have deviated. When she came back from the prefecture, she had to establish correct values ​​of money for her daughter.

With concern for her baby daughter, the young couple accompanied Chen Sanlang to the prefecture with Aunt Chen. When they stayed in the inn on the first night, Shen couldn't help but say to her husband, "I wonder if Zijin has slept?"

He Gong was also a little concerned about his daughter and my mother. After all, he was a man. He smiled and said to his wife, "It's already this time, I must be asleep. If you look at her, don't worry."

Shen nodded, "My mother is also old, one is young, she should be asked to stay at Asulai's house for a few days."

"Don't worry, what can I do if my tribe members live together?" This is also the reason why He Gong is relieved to go out. The tribe members can always help each other, not to mention that the time to go to the prefecture will not be too long. If it goes well, I should be able to come back in four or five days.

With her husband's comfort, Shen gradually calmed down. She had never been out of such a far-off family since she was a child, let alone a little girl at home, and with such a mother-in-law, Shen was inevitably worried about her.

With such concerns, the prosperous atmosphere that came to the prefecture seemed to lose its appeal. Shen and his party settled in the inn in the prefecture before the servant went to Ning's house to deliver the post. After Ning's house returned the letter, they went over to visit the next morning.

Shen saw such a grand mansion, such a spacious gate, well-trained servants, exquisite courtyards everywhere, and many flowers and trees that she couldn't even name, not to mention the indescribable elegance of the room in the old lady Ning's house. Shen felt that his eyes were not enough, but he didn't want to show that he had never seen the world, for fear of being laughed at. Fortunately, although Shen was similar in his heart to Liu Laolao who had been to Grand View Garden for the first time, Shen did not come to Ning's house to beat Feng. Besides, she lived very sternly. Even if Shen's Taoist practice seemed to be in a shallow way to Mrs. Ning, she had seen the etiquette safely and sat down at Aunt Chen's head.

However, Aunt Chen, a smart person who is usually smart, was hit by her husband's concubine at this time, and when she thought of her miserable daughter, her eyes were sore and her spirit was quite depressed. Fortunately, Aunt Chen's age has passed a few decades of wealthy life, even if the wealth of the Chen family is not worth mentioning with Ning Mansion. Aunt Chen straightened her back and folded her spirit and said hello to Mrs. Ning, "I have always thought about coming here to see it, but we live in the countryside and it is not cheap to go out. I have delayed it until this time. I brought some rural wild people, don't dislike it."

Mrs. Ning was not proud of her wealth in such a wealthy mansion. On the contrary, she was very polite and smiled, "Thank you for thinking about it." She asked again, "When did the in-laws arrive? I don't know where to place it now?" After learning that Aunt Chen and his party were settled in the inn, Mrs. Ning hurriedly said, "Since we have married, we are not outside, how can we let our in-laws stay in the inn? It's so rude." Then she ordered the maid, "Let the housekeeper go to get the inn." She said to Aunt Chen, "I am not outside, and I have never come to the prefecture to stay in the inn. You must follow me. Besides, it's cheap to live with my wife and talk to my wife."

Aunt Chen stood up and thanked him.

For a moment, another maid replied, "The Third Master is in the study and invites the Third Uncle and Uncle He to go over and talk."

Mrs. Ning explained with a smile, "It's my third child, all of them are peers, not outside, so it's good to be close to you."

Mrs. Ning said this, Chen Sanlang and He Gong went to the study to meet Mr. Ning San.

For a moment, Xiao Chen, dressed in plain clothes, also arrived. Xiao Chen was not very good and was very thin. Mrs. Ning called her to sit beside her, held Xiao Chen's hand affectionately, and said sympathetically, "Your mother is here to see you, let's talk to your mother."

Xiao Chen's eyes felt sore and shed tears.

Mrs. Ning sighed, "Good boy, I know the pain in your heart. I have many people here, so go to your mother to talk to you in your yard."

Xiao Chen took Aunt Chen and Shen to the courtyard where she lived.

To be honest, the courtyard where Xiao Chen lives is quite spacious. Although it cannot be compared with Mrs. Ning's main courtyard, it is not bad. It is definitely more refined and refined than when she was in the Chen family, but it only reveals an indescribable desertic state.

Shen sat in the outer room with tactfulness, and soon heard a faint cry from the inner room. Little Chen's crying was quite gentle, and Aunt Chen couldn't help it. She was so hoarse and heartbroken. Shen sighed softly and looked at the warm sun outside the window.

The mother and daughter cried happily. At noon, the maid next to Mrs. Ning personally brought the best meal, saying that Mrs. Ning would treat Aunt Chen to the evening. Aunt Chen said a few polite words with swollen eyes and advised her daughter to eat.

How could Xiao Chen eat? Shen said, "Cousin should use some for now, so I'll ask my aunt to rest assured."

At this time, Xiao Chen asked softly, "Is my cousin's wife okay? Is my aunt at home?"

Shen said, "Everyone is thinking about you at home, and my mother often sheds tears."

Xiao Chen couldn't stop her tears, and she covered her face and said sadly, "This is all my life is miserable."

Xiao Chen kept crying, and Shen lost his heart to eat, so he sent the maid down. Shen said, "I discussed with my aunt on the way. Have my cousin thought about the future?"

"From the future?" Xiao Chen looked sad, "It's probably just chanting Buddha's name." This sentence lured Aunt Chen's tears again.

"How do you recite the Buddha's name?" Shen took a veil to wipe Xiao Chen's tears and said, "There are many rules in the high-ranking families. Maybe there are some things I can't do. My cousin will listen to it. I think that the principles in the world are similar. My cousin keeps the integrity of my cousin and his wife. The Ning family's sixth house, and his cousin is also a person who is a child. Although unfortunately, he died early, and his cousin is here, the sixth house of the Ning family is here. Since my cousin and his brother-in-law keeps the integrity of my cousin and his husband, why don't I think of one step for my cousin and his husband? In the future, there will be someone who burns incense and sacrifices for the continuous incense."

Shen has also seen a few widowed people, and the one he respects the most is his wife. This widowed person has gone beyond his realm and has lived a more comfortable life than an idle person.

Now, no matter how you look at Xiao Chen, you can't tell the truth about the wise lady.

However, Xiao Chen was so young, and if she really lived alone for a lifetime, she was afraid that she would not be able to survive for a few years. Shen had a strange relationship with Xiao Chen. When she first met He Gong, she didn't know that the He family wanted Xiao Chen to be his daughter-in-law. Later she found out, but she did not give up He Gong. At that time, her situation was too difficult. The man who had been engaged to marry died of illness, and she was carrying a tough hat. Not to mention looking for a good marriage, it would be difficult to marry a good family. He Gong was the best man she could choose at that time. So, no matter what, she married the He family.

Shen felt that the Chen family was a famous wealthy family in Bishui County and the little Chen family had a good dowry, and they would definitely have a better marriage in the future. Unexpectedly, the little Chen family is now...

Shen had such a special relationship, saying that he felt guilty, no, after all, the Chen family and the He family did not make a marriage at that time, so she could not be considered a husband. However, she always hoped that Xiao Chen would have a good marriage.

Perhaps, this is God's will torture people.

In any case, Shen still hopes that Xiao Chen can live a better life.

Therefore, Shen reminded Xiao Chen: Please adopt a child for Chen Liulang and find a support for himself for the rest of his life.

Xiao Chen was obviously not an independent person, and Shen's words made her look at her mother hesitantly. Aunt Chen naturally understood that this was a good idea. The Ning family had not yet divided the family. If the daughter could have an heir, then the Ning family would have to be divided into six families in the future. Even if it was not for family wealth, as Shen said, there would always be a person who burned incense and sacrificed in the future.

Aunt Chen said, "I just don't know if the Ning family wants it."

Shen said, "If my cousin is interested, put the matter in mind for the time being. This is not a trivial matter, it cannot be decided in just one sentence. My cousin also needs to plan it himself."

"Planning?" Xiao Chen's eyes were still tears, and she was confused, "How to plan?"

Even if Shen has never seen any world, regardless of appearance, even his personality is better than Little Chen. Shen said, "You can know what to do if your cousin is in favor of your heart."

Xiao Chen's tears came down again. He put his heart in his heart. How could she put her heart in his heart? If she put her heart in his heart, she really didn't understand why her father was so cruel to marry her into the Ning family's widow.

Aunt Chen didn't understand what Shen meant, so she looked at Shen anxiously and said, "Your cousin is young, so let's explain it to your cousin."

Shen really couldn't stand the tears of Xiao Chen, and there was no need to be a heavy hammer for the drum. She sighed slightly, "Cousin, don't blame me for speaking directly. If I were a mother, even if I had to choose an heir for my son's endless incense, I wouldn't find a wife who would only cry all day to raise this child."

Aunt Chen's face changed immediately, and she looked at Shen fiercely. Shen's face remained unchanged and held Xiao Chen's hand, "My cousin is living well, like an aunt or my wife. Even if you only know the news of your good life, you will be happy for a long time. Whenever you know the news of your good life, you will be happy. Whenever your cousin is living badly, these people are concerned about you and trouble you. These people, whether you are good or bad, are born to care about you. So what about other people? If you live well, others will say that this person can do it. If you live badly, you will not live well.

Even if others don’t say it, they will despise you in their hearts. However, this is nothing wrong. This world is so snobbish. I hope my cousin will live a good life. I will be so long. Who can tell what will happen in the future? My aunt is so old and shelter her cousin from the wind and rain for years, and she will rely on her cousin to take care of her in the future. If my cousin doesn’t stand up, who can my aunt rely on? Who can my cousin rely on?" It’s time, and I still cry without opening my eyes to see, wouldn’t I just cry like this for the rest of my life?

Xiao Chen cried again.

Shen did not have much sympathy for a crying man. However, Xiao Chen cried again and said, "In the past, I was always cold to my cousin's wife, and my cousin's wife could still think about me like this." Compared with a father who sold women to make money, Shen's character instantly improved a lot.
