Mrs. Li recovered, took a deep breath on the couch, and said sadly: "The eldest daughter and the second daughter are all married, and only the younger daughter is around. As parents, it is inevitable that she will be favored."
Wang Xiu sat under the oil lamp and was not sleepy. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes, I know."
Mrs. Li said: "I am the eldest daughter in the family. I have been used to my mother being domineering and scorned by others since I was a child. I have made up my mind early on that I will never be that kind of woman. I also took the initiative to fight for my marriage with the Grand Master.
Yes, my mother said that this is not good, that is not good, it is just that he has not seen a strong family background. But so what, our husband and wife are both studious, diligent and thrifty people, and we quickly earned a huge family fortune.
!”
"It's my heartache to not have a son, but I'm too strong and I can't help but feel the shame in my eyes. If I had been more open-minded a few years ago and allowed the old master to take a concubine, maybe everything would be different now.
"
Wang Xiu sighed, took her hand and squeezed it without interrupting.
She knew that Mrs. Li no longer needed her guidance when she lived to this age. Now she just wanted to talk, and she was just a listener who didn't need to speak.
"People, don't be too strong. Or, be too strong, but don't be interested in people who are not worthy of it, even if it is your own flesh and blood."
"You have worked so hard to plan for her, and she relies on your favor to be domineering and unscrupulous. She even stabs a dagger into your heart, and then asks you why you are sad and why you are sad. Isn't this all natural?
?”
"At this time, you regret it and it hurts. You want to tell her that nothing is ever taken for granted. The reason why I do this is because I love you and I can't bear to see you suffer, and I can't bear to see you destitute and have nothing."
"You struggled, trying to wake her up and explain the truth to her. But she seemed to expose your true face, shouting: If you really love me, you won't say these things, and you won't let me fall.
To this extent?"
"Haha... you see, this is the insufficiency of people's hearts. They eat all your love, all your hard work, and all your life savings, but they still don't know what they are satisfied with. They just want to break the bones and suck out the marrow.
, until you lie on the coffin board."
Mrs. Li said, shedding tears of regret.
But Wang Xiu saw her eyes closed tightly and her body trembling, and knew that she was actually too sad.
These words were spoken with sobs and tears, making people feel as if they were feeling the same. They couldn't help but have an indignation that could not be relieved in their hearts. They wanted to go up and kick the person to the ground, and then hit her in the face.
Add a few more kicks to relieve the qi.
Fortunately, she had already spanked Mei Min just now. Although her hand hurt a little, thinking about it now, it was worth it.
Soon, Mrs. Li fell asleep crying.
Wang Xiu took the opportunity to stand up and go outside to get some air.
As soon as he walked out, he found Lu Yunhong standing under the eaves of the corridor, saying to Mei Xinjue: "I got drunk, and I will continue to drink it tomorrow. When guests come, I will say that I was too sad and passed out from crying."
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Yunhong raised his head and looked over.
The originally sharp gaze turned into gentleness in an instant. When Mei Xinjue saw this, he was surprised, but he still walked out of the small door very wisely.
Before Wang Xiu could walk over, Lu Yunhong stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to embrace her.
Under the eaves of the house, Wang Xiu just patted his hand gently, and then the couple stood together and talked.
Wang Xiudao: "Mrs. Li may have a bit of a stress reaction. I wonder if it will be better after the funeral of the old master is completed."
Lu Yunhong said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Li will get through it."
"Officials from the capital will be here tomorrow, and the emperor should be here too. It is estimated that it will take several days to deal with the matters behind the old master's death."
Lu Yunhong looked at the Imperial College in the distance. Because of the death of the old master, the lights were on all night long.
"What a pity..."
Lu Yunhong said that he originally wanted to find a place for the old master to live out his old life, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a place where he died.
In the future, when the couple gets old, they will probably return to Wuxi. This place is not suitable for anyone else, and they have to choose again.
Lu Yunhong thought and subconsciously wanted to get closer to Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu also patted his shoulder generously and said, "Fuck you."
Lu Yunhong's sad emotions were swept away, he pursed his lips, held Wang Xiu's hand, and the couple visited Nansuo Imperial Academy in the light of the lights.
Wang Xiu remembered seeing the planning drawings, architectural drawings, and the actual scene drawings that Pei Shan later drew for her.
Looking at it now, if you go in from the Xianshi Gate, you will see the Sage Monument, and then you will see the Dacheng Gate. Once you enter, it is very spacious, and it is difficult to see clearly.
Then they went to the Chongsheng Temple and found that many students were writing eulogies spontaneously. They were all kneeling, with their bodies upright, and their expressions were sad, which made people unbearable to disturb them.
Finally, Yao Yu, who was on duty at Jixian Gate in the middle of the night, discovered them and invited them in for tea.
The small stove was next to the table, which was almost scorched. It was covered with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which showed that Yao Yu was writing just now.
Wang Xiu caught a glimpse and also gave a eulogy.
She sighed in her heart, if the old master could live another ten or twenty years, the impact would be unprecedented in this dynasty.
It's a pity... that the old man still couldn't wait until that time.
Yao Yu quickly tidied up, brought hot tea, and said quickly: "The place is simple, I feel sorry for you two."
Lu Yunhong said: "I remember you came here last month, why are you guarding the door?"
Yao Yudao: "Wang Siye recommended me to be a teaching assistant, and I did share some superficial knowledge with the students. However, the old teacher passed away suddenly, and the students were not interested in studying. After discussion, the Siye staff decided to take turns to stay on duty at night, so as to prevent them from stealing in the middle of the night.
Run out and cause trouble."
Lu Yunhong nodded. He looked at Yao Yu who was now leisurely and contented. There was a bit of Buddha's heart and nature in his calmness. He was indeed very suitable to be a teaching assistant.
He said: "If the old master is like this, the capital will definitely send new sacrificial wine, and you can raise it by another liter."
Yao Yu said quickly: "No, it's fine now. I'm not saying this politely. After calming down in the past few years, I realized that my knowledge is very shallow and I can't hold the position of a clerk. Let's wait until later. In the future
If you have good knowledge, you will probably be able to afford it."
Lu Yunhong didn't force it. He said this with the intention of testing.
Seeing that Yao Yu was indeed satisfied with the current situation, he finally put aside his worries.
But Wang Xiu didn't know any of this.
When she looked at Yao Yu, who was thin but showed resilience, she thought of Xu Xiao.
That guy, I don’t know what possessed him, he just wanted to have a career. He was on an errand at the Imperial College. After he returned to Beijing to file a lawsuit, he took the initiative to transfer to Dali Temple and followed Huang Shaoyu to investigate the case.
Now I heard that I went to Jiangnan, but I am not sure when I will come back.
One by one, it was Pei Shan who settled down first, which she found incredible.
