Professor Li’s Married Life Chapter 82:
Babies with insufficient subscription ratio need to wait two more days, I'm really sorry
The two sisters of the Li family took advantage of this gap to go to the west courtyard.
It's just that the two felt a little embarrassed. They used to bother their sister-in-law to teach, but their mother didn't even prepare a knife, paper or pen.
Li Zhi is one year older, so she brought up this topic with Bai Shi the night before, but Bai Shi reprimanded her.
Bai's eyebrows were sullen, and he scolded: "What did you say! Why did I give birth to you two stupid daughters, and I came to my mother to ask for paper and pens. When have you ever seen those things in my house?" Who is Gu's? That is a young lady from the Hou family. Now your sister-in-law, your elder brother ordered her to teach you how to read, can she not prepare things for you? Wooden fish head, what rare objects in her house? No, you're just an idiot, but you're stingy enough to keep me from taking paper and pen." He said and tugged at the person's ear.
Li Zhi was so scolded by Bai Shi that she couldn't lift her head, she bit her lip and dared not speak again.
In front of outsiders, Mrs. Bai is gentle, virtuous, good-natured and good-natured, but she is a bit harsh and mean when teaching her daughter behind closed doors.
When she was young, she went through a incident, before she was married and in her natal family.
At that time, there was a family next door to the Bai family. There was an only daughter in the family, who was two or three years older than the Bai family.
The Bai family has a large population and more girls. At that time, besides Bai herself, there were her two sisters, one cousin and two cousins living together.
Daughters are not valued more than men in the first place, so their life is not very easy, don't talk about other things, just talk about food and clothing, it is common to not see meat at the Bai family's dinner table once in a few months, and the clothes are all picked up If you wear a big one, you may not be able to buy a new one all year round.
The family next door to the Bai family is completely different. There is only one daughter in that family, and the whole family has been holding her in pain since she was a child, but it is better than having several sons and grandchildren.
The girl usually has no shortage of pocket money, and she can often be seen running out to buy some hair flowers and snacks. Having been pampered and raised in this way, the temperament developed is also cute and lively.
On weekdays, the Bai family sisters are jealous of that girl in their hearts.
It's just that she never expected that that girl would marry a man with a slope.
It is said that the girl herself met someone first, and cried out to marry her.
No one of her parents can hold her back.
This incident became a joke in the neighborhood at the beginning, women in the streets and alleys would talk in private, mocking the girl for her shamelessness, and saying that she was blind, and the men coaxed her out of her mind.
Because of this, that year, the Bai family's Niang Tete took the three daughters into the house, admonished them one by one, and told them that this is the result of spoiling their daughters, saying that women are shallow-skinned and shallow-hearted. , if you continue to raise them loosely and indulgently, you have to raise them in a hurry, and you will easily lose your sense of shame. Therefore, if you want to make a girl virtuous and sensible, you have to work harder. Only after suffering a lot will you know how to restrain yourself. Make no mistake.
Bai's mother is an extremely widowed person. She was widowed in middle age, and she has been taut-faced for many years. She never smiles in front of outsiders, and is very serious.
She poured those crooked words into her daughter's ears word by word, while telling them to work more and talk less, and to be docile and polite, but on the other hand, she held her only young son in the palm of her hand and took her with her wherever she went. , It's a good look, I'm afraid something will happen.
Bai Shi was raised in this way since she was a child, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. She even agreed with her mother's way.
Li Zhi and Li Chan went out of the room after being taught a lesson, and when Bai Shi left and disappeared, Li Chan breathed a sigh of relief, took Li Zhi's hand, and said, "Sister, I will see these things in the future." You don’t need to talk to your mother anymore, she won’t care.”
Li Zhi hesitated at first, then nodded, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, let's... let's go over there first, I don't know if the elder brother has gone out."
Li Chan said: "There must be none, I saw Yuanbao just now."
The two of them walked towards the west courtyard while saying this.
The two sisters only went to the west courtyard to watch the excitement on the day when Gu Qingci got married and came to display the dowry.
After all, it is the courtyard where the brother and sister-in-law live, so how can they pass without incident.
The small door was closed, but after knocking, someone opened it after a while.
Seeing that it was Yuanbao, the two of them smiled.
Yuan Bao probably got Li Chengze's order and knew that the two of them would come over in the morning, so he kept paying attention.
Yuan Bao invited Ann first, and he said with a smile on his face, "The two girls are here, come in quickly, I will take you to meet the uncle and young mistress."
Li Zhi and Li Chan lowered their heads slightly, and seemed uncomfortable being saluted.
However, I was relieved to hear that my brother was at home.
Although they are not very close to Li Chengze, they are big brothers after all, and they have a blood relationship. Tong Gu Qingci was really not much worse than a stranger, he hadn't spoken to her a few times, he only knew that his sister-in-law was of noble background, her temper seemed to be not very good, even her grandmother dared to contradict her.
The two sisters sighed in their hearts, and followed Yuan Bao into the inner courtyard. When they reached the corridor, another maid, Qiu Ju, came and led them away.
Just after entering the main room, Li Zhi and Li Chan heard voices coming from inside the room.
After entering the outer room, they were led by another person, and the two of them moved slightly in their hearts. These were things they had never experienced before, giving people a sense of strict rules and duties.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and I kept stepping. When I got to the inner room, another maid helped to open the curtain, and whispered: "Grandpa, grandma, the two girls are here."
Gu Qingci's crisp and soft voice came over, "Please come in quickly."
Li Zhi and Li Chan went in.
Looking up, inside the room, Li Chengze and Gu Qingci sat facing each other on the floor. There was a dark square low table in the middle with a chess board on it. They were playing chess.
Gu Qingci was wearing a luxurious top made of light golden apricot yellow two-color brocade fabric, lined with a pink horse-face skirt.
Her complexion is extremely fair, and this dress makes her look bright and attractive.
Because I knew someone was coming today, I naturally dressed more formally.
The hand that was holding on to the chess pieces, saw a jade white bracelet on the bright white wrist, and a pair of thin carved gold bracelets on the other hand.
The whole body looks like a nobleman.
Not to mention that this room is so bright that people can't move their eyes. It is bright and full of rare treasures.
Blankets were spread on the ground, and the two girls of the Li family hardly dared to leave.
A timid expression appeared on his face.
They have never seen such a house or been to such a place.
What's more, Gu Qingci and Li Chengze's close relationship with each other made people blush with embarrassment.
The two sisters greeted each other one after another, and called their eldest brother and sister-in-law.
As soon as Li Cheng raised his head and saw the two of them, he said, "You and I have prepared books, paper and pens, so that we can learn calligraphy from your sister-in-law in the future." The two prepared bamboo boxes were taken out and given to the two of them respectively.
It's not easy to play chess now, so Li Cheng stood up, smiled at Gu Qingci and said, "I will play with you some other day. You teach them first, and I will go there first." Lift your feet and stride away.
If you don't mention Li Chengze, you can guess that it is nothing more than laughing at her as a low-marriage.
So he didn't continue to press, just said: "So you gave her a slap?"
"She hit me too, and even scratched me." Gu Qingci retorted in a low voice with a bit of aggrieved tone.
"Where is the injury, let me see." Li Cheng looked at her up and down.
Just as Gu Qingci put his hand in front of Li Chengye, he saw that there were indeed a few bright red scratches on the back of Bai Shengsheng's hand, stretching all the way to his arm.
Li Cheng picked it up and looked at it, seeing that a layer of white ointment or other medicine had been applied on it, so he didn't say anything else.
Gu Qingci couldn't grasp the point and understand these trivial things, so it was the girls' quarrel.
Li Chengze still couldn't find the time to worry about this, so he simply explained a truth to Gu Qingci, and said seriously: "It's not a big deal for you to quarrel with others, but I have to teach you a truth, no matter what you do in the future , remember one thing, don't hand over the handle to someone to catch, otherwise you will fall to the bottom, and if you meet a ruthless one, you will suffer, remember?"
It's nothing to fight, you can fight until people are speechless. Gu Qingci is good, since the sky is still someone else's territory, she can strike first, with so many eyes watching, if someone is determined If I want to punish you, I'm afraid I can only admit it.
This society is strict in etiquette, especially for women. Gu Qingci should understand better than Li Chengze.
"Stupid girl with no brains." Li Chengze sighed inwardly.
Gu Qingci is very uncertain, some things can be forgotten in a blink of an eye, no matter how detailed you say them. At this moment, just watching her nod, I don't know if she has lost her mind.
After all, she had already acted obediently, Li Cheng didn't make things difficult any more, he told her again, and then called the servant girl, and took Gu Qingci away.
Then he called Yuan Bao and asked him to inquire about Yuzhenxuan.
*
During this period of time, Mrs. Bai and a lady surnamed Wu got close, and I don't know what kind of friendship they established.
Every day is full of red, as if something happy happened.
He even tolerated Li Zhi and Li Chan a lot, no longer like the two days ago, as soon as the two sisters came back from the west courtyard, they would ask Gu Qingci about it.
Ask Gu Qingci what good things are there, how much jewelry is placed in the house, and whether they have given some to their sisters.
When they saw that they just shook their heads in a muffled voice, and couldn't ask a word after several sticks, they poked their foreheads with their fingers and scolded in a low voice: "I don't know how smart you are if you don't have anything. You just pick up the jewellery, ornaments, precious calligraphy and paintings in Gu Qingci’s room, as well as those hairpin jewelry, and say you like them, people raised by her big family want face, so why don’t you give them to you?”
Hearing these words, Li Zhi's face flushed with shame, feeling ashamed.
Also complained that her mother didn't understand anything at all, let alone the rules in the house of a young lady like Gu Qingci, and she always tried to control her, using some indecent means.
