The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

When Jiang Yan was led to the study by the servants, the elder hadn't arrived yet.

Then, the servants served cakes and tea, and then they left.Jiang Yan stayed in the study alone, and didn't feel restrained or anything. He was very at ease when he should eat and drink.

As for the old man, the servants searched around the courtyard of the big house but couldn't find it, and finally found the old man in the garden.

I didn't go to the garden to look for it first, but I was thinking of the elders, and I don't care about enjoying flowers.Who would have thought that the Elder Master is not rare in flowers and plants, but he is rare in birds.Then, I have to let the birds out, so I ran to the garden with the cage to play with the birds.

As for the old man who is free to play with birds here, it doesn't mean that the old man has no money in his hands now.All the money was taken away by Xing Shuang, and the old master's old friends and friends didn't like to contact him anymore, and he couldn't buy antiques anymore.As a result, now he can only stay idle in the mansion every day, feeling extremely bored.Then, I had no choice but to go to the market to buy a few birds with the monthly money issued by the public and come back to play.

The old man firmly refused to admit that it was because he sneaked out for several days last time and wanted to make Xing Shuang look for him in a hurry, but Xing Shuang didn't pay attention to him at all. Instead, he felt irritable and panicked, and finally ran back in despair Give him a long memory.That's why I didn't want to go out for a while.

The poor old man still claimed to be young and strong, so he lived the life of an old man ahead of time, playing with birds for fun.

Then, hearing that Xing Xue and his wife had come to visit, Xing Shuang asked herself to entertain her brother-in-law.The old man didn't take Joe either, and hurried to the study.

While walking, I was still thinking in my heart, this young couple got married, but I added 2000 taels of makeup.Also tell yourself to see how this young couple is doing, it can't be done in vain, can it?

Humans always have more than normal patience with the things they participate in and accomplish.

After putting down the cage and saying goodbye to his dear bird, the old man hurried to the study.

Originally, it took a lot of time for the servants to find someone, and then, the road from the garden to the study was a bit long.Therefore, the master, the master, arrived later than the guest, Jiang Yan.

If you are an ordinary person, maybe you have to think too much.

Is it because my family background is not as good as others, so they deliberately neglected me?Or is it because you look down on yourself, is this reminding yourself to be more sensible, telling yourself to retreat when you are in trouble?

If the temper is a little bit bigger, it is possible to just throw up your sleeves and leave.After all, literati have a lot of face, and it is not impossible to feel that they have been neglected and leave angrily.

But no Jiang Yan, when the Elder Master arrived, Jiang Yan was still eating and drinking inside, looking very at ease.

The tea was refilled two or three times, even the pastry was changed several times, Jiang Yan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, she was very at ease.

Grandpa Shanshan came late, she was afraid that she might get angry, and thought about whether to apologize or not.Just thinking about it made me feel uncomfortable.It's not that the Elder Master really cares about Jiang Yan as a guest, isn't that afraid that Xing Shuang will come to trouble him if he finds out?

After entering the door, seeing Jiang Yan's expression was not bad, on the contrary, he was very relaxed, and it made people feel very comfortable.The old man is relieved.Apologizing is naturally impossible. The old man really can't do that, and he feels so awkward.

Let's meet, let's say hello.Jiang Yan didn't recognize his life, and opened his mouth to the old man and called "brother-in-law".Just this one sentence made the old man nod happily.I think this person is good, good, really good.Polite, sensible and talkative.

Considering that Jiang Yan was also the candidate who he searched for at the beginning, and Xing Shuang selected him later, he was considered half a matchmaker.Later, the two got married, and as a brother-in-law, he paid another 2000 taels for makeup.Thinking about it this way, there are quite a few shadows of himself in this marriage.

The meaning of things that I participated in to complete is naturally very different, which makes the elders unavoidably treat Jiang Yan with a two-point leniency.

Although Jiang Yan is a scholar, he does not have the nobility and sourness of a scholar.It's not like many scholars who are so restrained by rules, which makes him feel tired and flustered just looking at it.On the contrary, there is a kind of candid confession of a young youth.Therefore, this is what the Grand Master is satisfied with.

If the old man is satisfied, then we can talk.

But what are we talking about?For a while, the elder was a little distressed.

The elder himself is not learned or skilled, so he naturally doesn't like to socialize with scholars and scholars on weekdays.Naturally, I don't know what to talk about with such a person?

You can't talk about walking birds and crickets!The elder is not so closed-eyed yet.

I don't know how to exchange pleasantries, so I simply don't.The elder is not a person who would make things difficult for himself.

After saying hello, the elder asked Jiang Yan directly, "How are you doing? Is there anything I need to help? If you have anything, just ask, you're welcome."

If you don't know how to greet, then be direct, talk about things if you have something to say, and if it's nothing - talk about it if you have nothing to do.

The Eldest Master's tone of speech to Jiang Yan didn't sound like he was speaking to his brother-in-law, but rather like the tone of an elder to a junior,

It is said that they are brother-in-law, but in fact, there is a round age difference between the two of them.When Mrs. Xing got married, Xing Xue was only a few years old, but now Xing Xue has a family.Thinking about it this way, there's nothing wrong with it.

Jiang Yan is not a person who will greet others and pretend to be polite.I think this is my brother-in-law. If my brother-in-law asks for help, I will just say so. Then I will say it. I am here to ask my sister and brother-in-law for help.

Jiang Yan feels that this is a very close relationship, so what can't be said?What's more, I didn't come here today for this reason.You can't just rely on your own wife.It's okay if you can't do it yourself, you have come by yourself, and the brother-in-law said so, so you have to bear what should be borne by yourself.

Then he explained to the old master what Xing Xue and Xing Shuang said.There is only more than Xing Xue, nothing less.When Xing Xue talked about her husband-in-law, at least she knew how to accept some. She didn't want to make her husband-in-law too embarrassing.

But Jiang Yan didn't have this concern.People just say that there is no adulteration at all.He said that he was not well educated, not talented enough, was beaten by his classmates, was not enlightened in his studies, and fell behind in the rankings.Nothing was hidden.

I was also afraid that the old man would misunderstand his own words as self-effacing remarks, and repeatedly emphasized to the old man that it was really not his self-effacing.He said that he might be a little less clever than others, and a bit stupid, so he thought that the stupid bird would fly first.So I want to ask my brother-in-law to recommend a more reliable academy, and ask him to improve himself.

Jiang Yan talked about his study experience there, there are good and bad, there are flowers and there are also thorns.Then, Jiang Yan is not a person who is particularly talented in reading, so naturally he encountered more blows.

Then, the old man specifically picked up the place where people said that he suffered from studying.From time to time, I would echo a few words, nod my head, and the chat was very lively!

This says how long I study every day, and how I do it.The one said, oh, you don’t know why I got up to study before dawn...

This said that I could not recite it for many days, and I was so anxious that I broke out in a cold sweat. I was afraid that my old man's cane would be pulled over.That said, me too, everyone can turn to the next chapter, but I have to continue to review!

In fact, if you can’t recite it, then you can’t recite it. Then people have to continue to study, maybe it’s just that they made mistakes or missed a few words in the dictation, and it’s not like you can’t do it at all!

Otherwise, how did they get into Juren?

As a result, they obviously have different degrees of learning, so they found a sympathy, the sympathy of a scumbag, the sympathy of being hanged and beaten by a bully...

As we chatted and chatted, we became warm, and we almost didn't call each other brothers.

The two of them can have a lively chat about the absurd things about their own study.

When Jiang Yan talked about the crimes he suffered from studying because he was not enlightened, the old man patted his thigh, very excited.

you do not say?Wasn't that how I was at the beginning, no matter how many times I memorized an article, I still couldn't learn it.How many times did I ask myself to use a rattan cane?How much did you suffer?

After many years, my old man finally gave up when he saw that he was not that material, and he escaped.Finally, I don't have to live that kind of fearful life anymore.During that time, when I mentioned the book, I felt a headache, a pain in my buttocks, and my whole body hurt, and I was almost insane.

That is, when I think about those days now, I still have lingering fears and deep impressions.Therefore, the old master can understand Jiang Yan's kind of learning but not learning.

Hearing about Jiang Yan's study experience, about being physically punished by his master when he was a child, and being taught by his father, the Elder Master also seemed very insightful.He also told Jiang Yan a lot about his painful experiences in studying when he was a child. At the end, the old man said happily to Jiang Yan, "It's the end. My father looked at me and I was really not this kind of material. With the protection of my grandmother, I am so happy." It’s a escape.”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yan sympathetically, "I'm relieved, it's a pity that your parents are still there, and you have to restrain you to study hard and make progress!"

Jiang Yan... No, why does this sound so inappropriate?What is "Your parents are still..."

After chatting for so long, Jiang Yan found out for the first time why the old man's speech was so unpleasant?

But looking at the expression on the old man's face, he probably just felt that studying was too difficult for him, so Jiang Yan didn't care about it.

The two chatted for a long time about the various experiences of studying.Then, the same experience can always arouse emotional resonance, especially sympathy can bring two people closer.

Now, the Elder Master is very sympathetic to Jiang Yan.Feeling that he has escaped the sea of ​​suffering, Jiang Yan has to continue to struggle, isn't it pitiful?

If Xing Shuang was here, he would definitely have to ask.Even if they are scumbags, they are just poorly educated among a group of juren.Where do you need sympathy for a person who doesn't even have a reputation and hasn't read the book since when?

After the two of them communicated so deeply, there was a sympathy, and Jiang Yan's request for help from the elder was naturally taken care of.

When sending Jiang Yan and Xing Xue away, the Elder Master is very enthusiastic towards Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan often comes here.I almost got a handkerchief!

Xing Xue...
