Shen Tianshu originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he saw Zhao Junrong blinking at him with a pair of big black and white eyes, full of innocence and clarity, he couldn't help but want to give her a few words.
She simply put down the storybook in her hand and asked: "Jun Rong, why don't you tell me first, what's so good about the two people you just mentioned?"
After several contacts, Shen Tianshu discovered that although Zhao Junrong behaved well in front of Mrs. Zhao, he was actually a talkative person.
When Shen Tianshu asked this question, she immediately started talking, starting with Feng Qiuluan.
In fact, the story of Feng Qiuluan is a very simple story of a down-and-out boy who met a wealthy daughter, received financial support, and finally became a successful man without forgetting to marry him.
It's just that the author of the storybook is better at creating suspense, repackaging old wine in new bottles, and twists and turns in a clichéd story. He makes the down-and-out boy Shen Lang handsome and unrestrained, and has deep love and righteousness, which directly pokes fun at a young man like Zhao Junrong who stays in the boudoir all year round. Girl's heart.
Shen Tianshu listened patiently to Zhao Junrong telling the story from beginning to end, and then asked: "Then what do you think is good about Mr. Shen?"
Zhao Junrong immediately counted on his fingers and said: "He is good-looking, does good business, and can make money."
Shen Tianshu followed her example, and also clasped his hands and said: "His purpose in approaching Miss Liu was impure. He was interested in Miss Liu's family background at the beginning and abducted an ignorant girl. His success in career depends on his wife's dowry. , even if you have the ability, it is limited..."
Zhao Junrong said anxiously: "Although he had ulterior motives in approaching Miss Zhao at the beginning, he must have liked Miss Zhao later. You see, he still didn't forget to get a wife after he became rich."
"It is the most basic benevolence and morality for a man to never forget to have a wife when he becomes famous. What kind of advantage is this?" Shen Tianshu struck the little girl's pink heart without mercy, "When I was newlywed, I asked my wife to sell her dowry to give him business capital. Such a man..."
Zhao Junrong was completely confused by Shen Tianshu's words, pouting and almost crying.
Shen Tianshu knew this, and Mrs. Zhao must have said it countless times. Zhao Junrong couldn't listen at all, so he asked from a different angle: "Has your father ever used your mother's dowry?"
Zhao Junrong shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, when my father was in school, there was a locust plague in my hometown one year, and the family didn't have enough money. My mother took the initiative to take out the money from the bottom of the box. My father didn't even touch a penny, and would rather sell it. I have used several acres of fertile farmland in my hometown to turn around, but I haven’t touched my mother’s dowry..."
"Now that your father is an official, does he ever despise your mother's family for being powerless?"
Zhao Junrong shook his head like a rattle and said: "Of course not. My father also often said that during the years he was studying, it was thanks to my mother who never left him. She took care of his parents-in-law, raised children, and was diligent and frugal in running the house. My father could concentrate on studying for the imperial examination and said that he must be a good official and earn a job for my mother in the future."
At this point, Zhao Junrong herself gradually understood what Shen Tianshu meant. She was previously confused by all the clever language traps and sensational words in the storybook. She just felt that the relationship between the two in the book was simply touching. Now, she Shen Tianshu used examples around her to break it down bit by bit, and she immediately understood the problem.
She was not stupid to begin with. After the first story was broken down in this way, she naturally thought of the story in the second book.
The down-and-out talented man Deng Xiucai borrowed money from his distant relative Guo to study at home. Instead of studying hard, he actually fell in love with his girl, hooked up with her, gave and received privately, and even had an affair with Guo without a matchmaker. The girl made a private decision for life, did what Yun|Yu did, and finally took the private money given by the girl to Beijing to take the exam.
Although a few years later, Deng Xiucai finally won the gold medal, returned to his hometown in glory, and married Miss Guo, who had given birth to a child out of wedlock.
When she watched it before, she only thought that Deng Xiucai rode a tall horse and brought an eight-carriage sedan back to his hometown to marry Miss Guo. It made people who looked down on him in the past look at him with admiration. It was very satisfying.
Now I can't help but think about it: Deng Xiucai left for more than four years, and when he came back, his child was over three years old. What happened to Miss Guo, who became pregnant out of wedlock, during these four years? The book didn't mention a word about it. .
Zhao Junrong covered his blushing face and lowered his head deeply. He really didn't know what kind of evil he had been possessed by before, but he actually yearned for such a story. It was so shameless.
She snatched the storybook and put it into her arms, and said shamefully: "Sister Shen, I will never read these messy things again."
Shen Tianshu rubbed the little girl's hair and said: "Actually, it's okay to read these story books to relieve boredom. It's just that you are too young now and don't know that people outside are sinister. Just look at the people in the story books and they are all perfect. The ending, as everyone knows, may have the same beginning in life, but the ending is often unsatisfactory.
"As women, we are born in this world and have to face more difficulties than men. We must keep our eyes open and see people's hearts clearly."
In Shen Tianshu's previous life, she traveled around with her grandfather since she was a child. She saw a lot of things in the world and did not want to be a woman who settled in the back house and had children, so she always refused to discuss marriage.
Due to her superb medical skills, no one dared to say anything to her face, but she didn't know the gossip behind her back.
When women live in this world, whenever they want to achieve something, they have to face several times more difficulties than men.
What she said at this time was not only addressed to Zhao Junrong, but it was indeed her own sentiments.
When Shen Tianshu came back to his senses, he saw that Zhao Junrong was already wilting from what he said, and he felt a little embarrassed immediately.
"Look at me, why am I talking about this? I originally asked you to come over to relieve your boredom, but instead I made you even more bored."
However, Zhao Junrong stood up and walked around the waiter, sat down next to Shen Tianshu, took her arm, pressed his face against her and said: "Actually, my mother also told me some things, but I always couldn't listen to them. I listened to what Sister Shen said to me today. I know that Sister Shen is doing it for my own good. I wish I had a biological sister like you."
Shen Tianshu touched Zhao Junrong's face. Compared with Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunhui, she also hoped to have a sister with a straightforward temper like Zhao Junrong.
Zhao Junrong's depression only lasted for a moment. She quickly became lively again, shaking Shen Tianshu's arm and complaining: "Oh, if my brother hadn't already been engaged, it would be great if you came to be my sister-in-law!"
Shen Tianshu had never even met the young master of the Zhao family, but he had already been married to the young master of the Zhao family twice, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Sister Shen, can I write to you after I leave?" Zhao Junrong's mind jumped quickly, and he suddenly thought about what happened after leaving.
"Of course." Before Shen Tianshu finished speaking, he heard the sound of the clock in the outer room chiming, and Mingyu also poked her head at the door.
Zhao Junrong stood up with a very discerning eye and said: "Sister Shen, it's almost time for dinner. I have to go back. I'll come over early tomorrow afternoon."
