MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 15
Mrs. Xiao decided to correct her mentality and did what she said. She thought that since this daughter grew up around someone with a bad mind like Ge Shi, she would have to teach her from the beginning.
On the second day, she sent more than ten bamboo slips to Shaoshang, including four volumes of "Ji Ji Zhang", four volumes of "Fan Jiang Chapter", and several volumes of "Cang Jie Chapter". I don't know if it's because the end of the year is inconvenient, or because there is no custom of asking a tutor at all in this era. In short, Mrs. Xiao did not find a master for Shaoshang. Usually, Mrs. Qingli and Cheng Shaogong would teach a few words when they were free. Days do not end.
Sometimes Mrs. Xiao would show respect to Shaoshang's pen-holding posture, and said that after learning these, she would start to memorize basic classics, Confucianism and Taoism, Zonghengjia, Poetry, Chu Ci and Sima Fu, There are incense sticks, flowers, pots and Cuju, all kinds of colors, so that you can be regarded as a qualified high-class lady.
Shao Shang disagrees, she has decided to eat her own food in the future, what she really wants to learn is not these at all, literacy is good, but those classics... Not to mention, literacy does not delay learning practice . After forbearing for two days, she finally couldn't help but said, "You might as well memorize the book slowly. Now, my daughter wants to learn more about economics and common affairs."
Who knew that Mrs. Xiao sent her off with a single word: "Reading is the foundation of everything. If you understand reading, you can't be successful in life."
Shao Shang only understood the pain of Yang Xiaoguo at this time: you were eager to learn martial arts and make a living, but she did not rush to let you memorize moral articles. Reliable! It's not that Shao Shang didn't mention it to his big backer Cheng Shi, but Mrs. Xiao cites scriptures and scriptures, and Father Cheng couldn't bear it. So, she could only continue to endorse and read without leaving home, woohoo.
Like a flour mill.
The Cheng family brothers, father and son, rarely go out to visit friends and socialize, so the family sits around the fire, chatting, laughing and drinking like in the cold days. The chopsticks knocked on the wine and sang the minor tune of the hometown. The singing was rough or clear, and the voice line circled around the column. When the singing came to the head, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Sang also came to harmonize. The servants looked at each other and smiled. Among the juniors, only Cheng Cha could keep up with a few words, and the rest could only laugh and clapped and slapped the table.
Mother Cheng herself is a sound idiot, and she can't sing half a sentence. Now, seeing the children and grandchildren in the house, she is happy and happy, and she is not picky about the two unpleasant brides. Unexpectedly, at this time, the maid suddenly came to report: Taigong Ge is here.
The wooden chopstick that Cheng Chengju was about to knock down in mid-air fell on the food table with a clatter, and his face was full of panic.
Everyone looked at each other, all at a loss.
Although Cheng Shi sent people to Ge's house to tell everything, he thought that people would not come until at least Zhengdan. Who knew that it was only four days before Zhengdan, and Taigong Ge came in person. Cheng Cheng was at a loss, and even knocked over the wine when he stood up. Only when Cheng Cha heard that Taigong Ge was coming with his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, his eyes lit up, and his face couldn't hide his excitement.
Ge Taigong's beard and hair are gray, his body is rich, and his clothes are simple, probably because he is in a hurry, his face is full of wind and frost, and he is supported by his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. They all have gentle faces and gentle words, and they belong to the kind of looks that make people think they are good people. After listening to the lotus room, Taigong Ge also brought more than ten carts, which seemed to be loaded with a bunch of New Year's goods such as pigs, sheep, rice, corn, wine, and berries.
Mother Cheng was not good at putting on airs, so she hurried out to meet her. Cheng Cha, who was following behind, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but come out in front of Taigong Ge and said with tears: Father, uncle, and aunt!"
Aunt Ge hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Cha, her eyes were wet, she couldn't hide the kindness in her eyes, she stroked Cheng Cha's face, and muttered: "… It's taller, and it looks a lot better."
Cheng Cha cried and laughed, hugged Aunt Ge and refused to let go, wishing she could dig her head into her warm clothes, so Aunt Qi would just take her back to Ge's house in her arms. Uncle Ge couldn't let go of his old father and came over by himself, so he could only hang his neck to look at it, the concerned expression on his face was something only a truly loving father would show, and he said in a long voice, "Hey, my uncle brought you something. A lot of things, don't cry, don't cry, it's cold, you're going to frostbite your face..." Actually, this is quite rude, but no one cares.
Only then did he walk out slowly; he lowered his head, spread out his clenched fists, and there were four dark pink nail prints on his snow-white palms. Looking at the direction where the crowd was going, Shao Shang turned his head, ignoring Mrs. Xiao's reprimand later, and went straight back to his small courtyard.
—She has no objection to Cheng Cha. Judging from her honest words and deeds, she knows that she has been taught very well.
However, from a very young age, she knew that the most hateful thing in this world is not that both parents are cold, but that the pair on the left and the right are great and very good. Great parents, they just can't get on with it.
…
Mrs. Xiao also had no time to take care of her at this time, and in a hurry, she not only wanted a guest room for the three of the Luo Ge family, but also settled a large group of people in the Ge family's accompanying motorcade; seeing her busy feet Without sticking to the ground, Mrs. Sang volunteered to help, and went to check that Mr. Ge, who had been locked up for many days, brought it out of the old house and cleaned up, so that it could be returned to the Ge family.
Because Ge Shi was unable to go out, she could only eat, sleep, sleep and eat these days, so not only did she not lose weight, but her cheeks were plump. When she knew that her family was here, she proudly said, "You guys Just wait! There must be an explanation for the grievances I have suffered these days!"
Sang looked at her incredulously: "Do you think your father is here to open his eyes for you?" Quietly.
That's it.
Sang Shi felt that his IQ would be dragged down if he continued talking to Ge Shi, so he quickly ordered the maid given by Mrs. Xiao to drag the people to the inner hall of the new house.
The juniors were emptied, the food and beverages were re-arranged, but no one touched the chopsticks, only the room was full of embarrassment. Even Cheng Shi, who had always been running the train with his mouth full, didn’t know where to start, but it was Taigong Ge who spoke first—
"...The old man took pity on her when she lost her mother when she was young, and was too coddled. Knowing that she was a lot wrong, she still had the cheek to marry her into the Cheng family, and only suffered for everyone. Here the old man apologizes first!"
As he spoke, he turned to his mother Cheng and Cheng Shi and asked to worship. Uncle Ge and Aunt Ge on both sides also wanted to worship. Mother Cheng was so frightened that she shrank back and almost bumped into it. After overturning the food case, Cheng Shi took a quick step forward and vigorously supported Ge Taigong, even claiming that it was impossible.
Ge, who was sitting on the side, screamed, "Father! What are you talking about, the Cheng family has wronged me a lot..." Before she could finish speaking, Uncle Ge couldn't bear it any longer. When he got up, he walked over in a few big steps and slapped Ge Shi's face with force, slapping half of her face into purple, and half of her body slumped to the ground.
"Since you were born, your father has always cared for you, how much love you have, how can you be filial? Following you, driving day and night in the wind and snow, you still have no guilt, you, you are not as good as a pig and a dog! You are also a beast!"
Uncle Ge is also a grandfather himself. He is quite prestigious in the countryside, but he still needs to make amends for the ignorant younger sister who came to Cheng's house in the wind and snow. Victory over himself is doubly furious.
Ge was dazed by the beating. He looked up and saw Uncle Ge gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was afraid and guilty, so he turned his head and dared not open his mouth again.
Ge Taigong didn't even look at his daughter, he sat up with Cheng Shi's arm, continued to talk about Ge Shi's various evil deeds, and apologized at the same time. Feeling embarrassed, he said, "My grandfather is so embarrassed that I have to wait for shame. I think that when I got into trouble that day, if it wasn't for the grandfather's help, how could I..."
Ge Taigong waved his hand to stop Cheng Shi from continuing, and sighed: "The general's words need not be mentioned again, only ignorant women like my daughter can talk about the food and grass every day. On that day, the world was in great turmoil, the army was in chaos, the bandits and calamities were everywhere, and people like my family with little assets but no support, but the mouth of the hungry wolf was full of fat, and there were countless people who broke their homes outside. Keep it safe. As for the thief Chen, the general doesn't have to mind..."
As he spoke, he gave a wry smile: "Speak the vernacular. That thief Chen robbed the wealthy homes everywhere, leaving nothing behind. It was enough to **** money, even people. Don't let it go. If the general were to die, the Ge family would not be able to escape the destruction. What can I say thank you!"
In fact, these conversations have been rolled over several times in the beginning, and he feels that he does not owe the Ge family anything, but now that Ge Taigong said it himself, and he said it from the bottom of his heart, he felt embarrassed again . I had to sit silently to the side, thinking that this good person is much harder to deal with than a bad person.
Ge Taigong turned to Cheng's mother again and said: "Speaking from my heart, if a woman like my daughter is given to my family as a wife, I have to give up; thanks to the kindness of the Cheng family, I have endured until now. In the past ten years, my eyes and ears have been blocked in the countryside. I thought that her temperament would gradually improve as she got older, but after hearing the feedback from the people who came, I realized that this wickedness has not been changed, but it has become worse, and only suffered. Rong..." He looked at Cheng Cheng and wept, "I didn't teach my daughter well, but I hurt you..."
Cheng Cheng was already restless just now, and at this moment, he knelt down in front of Taigong Ge with a plop, and also wept: "Don't say that, me too, I have it too, she originally..." If he wanted to tell his story, Cheng Shi secretly scolded him for being unpromising, and he was not good at speaking.
However, Taigong Ge refused to tell him to go on, and said with a trembling old voice: "Don't say anything. You have been old-fashioned since you were young, so I don't know your character. I thought it would be a good fate to be Weng's son-in-law in this life, but I didn't think about it, but I made you suffer so much and lost your ambition! Old man, how does the old man see you. Today, you will issue a letter of divorce, and I will take it. Go back! In the future, if you are willing to recognize me as an old man next door, just call me old man!"
Speaking, the old man was already in tears, and Cheng Cheng couldn't help himself.
Although he hated the Ge family, he had a lot of admiration for this benevolent old man who helped the weak and the poor. , When I first married Ge Shi, I felt contented in my heart, but I didn't want to fall into the land like today.
Cheng Shi originally thought that this mess would be tangled for a long time, but he didn't expect Ge Taigong to be so straightforward. He was overjoyed and decided to end it on the spot, but at this moment, seeing the three Ge family members and Cheng Cheng weeping, the atmosphere was so touching. Could it be that he was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to lay out the bookcase and write a divorce letter? ! This, it seems... a bit of a dishonest, and it's too damaging to the atmosphere.
Cheng Zhi, who had been transparent for a long time, finally straightened up, cleared his throat and said, "Old man, Rong Xiaoke said, now that the age is approaching the first day of the year, I am writing a divorce letter at this time... This, this is not auspicious. …”
Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Exactly. It's not as good, it's better..." He looked around, only to remember that Mrs. Xiao had escaped under the pretext of settling the Ge family, and could not help but scold his wife for being slippery and hiding. Quick, where to find someone to give an idea at this moment!
Seeing that the end was not good, Mrs. Sang quickly came to help, and said softly: "It's better than this. Anyway, after Zhengdan, the second brother will also go to Bailu Mountain to study. It's better for the grandfather to bring people back first, In the future..." She pondered her words, "No matter what the decision is in the future, my family will send someone to inform the village. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this is good?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Cheng family breathed a sigh of relief, and they all felt that the plan of 'separation first and then divorce' was very good, which saved face for both families and would not end on the spot.
Mrs. Xiao outside the door heard this, and silently retracted her toes. As one of the top victims of Ge Shi, she really didn't want to get involved. Let her in and say what? She felt displeased when she said good things to Mrs. Ge, but she couldn't help but fall into trouble when she said bad things. Thinking that Taigong Ge was indeed a kind, honest and true gentleman, she simply didn't show up.
Out of the courtyard, the thick snow was creaked all the way, Mrs. Xiao thought about it, she is idle, she should go to train her daughter first; who knows she just walked to Shaoshang At the door of the residence, before she could take off her shoes and go up the steps, she heard Qing Li's gentle voice from inside.
"...How can the talented young lady leave on her own? It's too rude to say hello to Taigong Ge."
Then the young businessman laughed lazily: "Is Taigong here to visit relatives? They are here to do 'big things'. In the past ten years, my second aunt has been 'contributing' to me. Do you want to hear Taigong say 'I'm sorry' to my grandchild? The day before yesterday, my grandmother told me to avoid talking to my elders. Why don't you just avoid it? Besides, I walked away for a while, and the three brothers came over, and they must have been sent away... Come on, Aunt Qing, you are really, it's rare that the eldest brother and the second brother have time to tell me too much. From what I learned in school, you forced people to drive away..."
The girl was very eloquent, reasonable and coquettish, Qing Li was silent for a while.
Mrs. Xiao shook her head slowly outside the door. In her opinion, her daughter is more difficult to deal with than the eighteen Ge clan combined, but in just a few days, Qing Xian’s words were not too small. business rival.
—Is it the same as being sent away by the elders? Thankfully, she was plausible.
"...Of course, leaving on your own is not the same as being sent away by the elders." Shao Shang suddenly said, "I didn't think about it, Aunt Qing turned around to help me tell my mother, In fact, as soon as I walked away, I knew something was wrong. I must change it in the future, I must change it.”
At this time, Qing Li has nothing to say. She felt sorry for the girl who suffered a lot at Ge Shi's hands. It is inevitably embarrassing, it is better to quietly avoid the refreshing.
Mrs. Xiao frowned, and two words immediately popped into her mind: Wisdom is enough to refuse remonstrance, and words are enough to cover up wrong.
