Lin Dai has been scolding a lot in the past few years since she arrived at the Shen family, but it was the first time she was beaten.

When the little girl was beaten, she was stunned and did not come to her senses for a long time. After Zhou finished scolding, she realized that she wanted to grin, but because of Zhou's power, she did not dare to cry. Her face was almost frowning, and tears fell like broken pearls.

Chen Xi hurriedly said, "Mom, I want to comb Dai'er's hair, I can't blame her!"

Zhou said angrily: "You are not good either. My mother beats her and is also teaching you a lesson. Get it clean and go to the literary party after dinner!"

Zhou left the house with anger on his face. Lin Dai finally couldn't help it. She squatted down and hugged her head and started to whimper. The more she cried, the more sad she became.

When Lin Dai first entered the door, Zhou held her in her hand and pampered her. At that time, Zhou had no thoughts, just thinking that her son would have the ability in the future and would have no other extravagance in her life to marry a wife.

But since Zhou and Hui Niang were doing business together and the family had more and more money, she became a little cold to Lin Dai. After all, with money, even the best wife could be married. Why do you have to be a little girl who doesn’t even know her family background?

Later, Chen Xi passed the mansion test and gave birth to twins again. She became even more picky about Lin Dai and scolded him for any matters. Today, when she saw Chen Xi combing Lin Dai's hair, she finally couldn't help but beat her future daughter-in-law.

"Dai'er, stop crying, my mother is just angry. She didn't mean to hit you. Look at me, I have been beaten often before." Chen Xi squatted down, gently stroked Lin Dai's back, and comforted her.

Lin Dai burst into tears: "That's what you should beat me, this time... it was my mother who wronged me..."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's wrong for you to say that. Just now you said I never comb your hair, so I just combed it for you. Now I'm all dependent on me?"

Lin Dai was so embarrassed that she was so angry that she raised her head directly. Li Hua threw her fist into Chen Xi's arms with rain. The force was very light when hitting Shen Xi, and it didn't seem like she was beating someone. Instead, she was tickling Chen Xi: "You are bad, you are bad..."

After all, there are only two words "you are bad", and the anger of the little daughter's family is beyond words.

Chen Xi helped her sit down on the edge of the bed, rubbed her pretty little face with her hands. She couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Zhou's slap was thrown out in anger, without showing any mercy at all. Lin Dai, a little girl, wasn't slapped by Zhou's heavy worker?

"It hurts..." After a while, although Lin Dai was in a better mood, Chen Xi touched her cheek and still bared her teeth and called out softly.

Chen Xi sighed, "Mom is really, isn't it a pity for you to beat me so hard? But it's okay. When I get fame and fortune, we will no longer live at home after we get married, so you don't have to look at my mother's face."

Lin Dai punched Shen Xi again: "You are so bad. If your mother heard this, she would definitely think that I was trying to provoke me again. She would hit me again..."

Chen Xi smiled. Lin Dai was a little older, and she understood some of the truths very well. But after all, she was still a little girl. In addition, she knew that she would serve her future husband and mother-in-law well after she knew that she would be able to serve her future husband and mother-in-law. She didn't dare to complain in her heart. She was coaxed by Chen Xi for a few words and felt relieved.

After calming down a little, she helped Chen Xi combed her hair and wrapped it in a towel. Then she sat back on the edge of the bed, looking at Chen Xi a little depressed and pitiful.

"Dai'er, I'm going to attend the literary meeting today and I may not be back in the afternoon. I'll play with you and Xi'er after I come back." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Lin Dai lowered her head sadly: "I don't want to play."

Chen Xidao: "Then I will teach you how to read and read, and wait for me to come back..."

Lin Dai nodded then, stood up and went out with Chen Xi. When he arrived at the medicine shop, he was watching the comic strip in the backyard. He felt that Lin Dai's face seemed a little different, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Although Lin Dai was wronged from the bottom of her heart, she still had to go in and apologize to Zhou.

On the other side, Hui Niang was also trying to relieve her anger: "...Sister is the same, but it's just a child's play, and she takes it seriously."

Zhou also felt that he was too serious, but in front of the child, he was still angry: "They are all older children and don't understand the rules. In the future, stupid kids are people with great skills. How can they do those unpromising things?"

Hui Niang was a little silenced for a moment.

If Chen Xi was too much to comb Lin Dai's hair, wouldn't it be even more excessive to ask Chen Xi to carry Shen Mingjun and his wife to her room at night and do the "chicken crowing and dog thieves"? She had a conscience and didn't know how to say the words of the subsequent persuasion.

After Lin Dai kowtowed and admitted his mistake, Zhou said angrily: "It's because my mother is neglecting her discipline on weekdays. I will take time to teach you more. You are my daughter's family, so you don't have to do anything else in the future. Just take care of your husband and children well. This is your duty! Do you understand?"

"Yes, my child remembered it." Lin Dai replied with a little fear.

Zhou said again: "You recognize your words too, go back to your room and copy the "Daughter's Sutra" ten times, and then show it to me."

The "Daughter's Sutra" is a textbook for the education of women's ideological and moral character in ancient China. It has been circulated among the people since the early Ming Dynasty and its influence has expanded. Today, even if women are illiterate, they will recite the "Daughter's Sutra" since childhood. It has strict requirements for women to behave, deal with things, and manage their families. It advocates respecting the elderly and loving the young, being thrifty, cherishing food, paying attention to hygiene, being strict with oneself, being lenient to others, behave properly, paying attention to politeness, etc. But the most important thing is to abide by the three obediences and four virtues, and be a "good woman" who relies on and obeys her husband in everything.

After Lin Dai lowered her head and went back to her yard, Zhou said to Hui Niang: "This girl will marry to the Shen family sooner or later. If she doesn't discipline her well, she will be too late to discipline her again."

Hui Niang then realized that Zhou's attack on Lin Dai was not a sudden impulse, but must have had a "premeditation". This may be Zhou's first step in establishing his authority in front of his future daughter-in-law.

Although Zhou did not agree with the old lady's method of discipline her son, she felt it was very necessary to do it when it was her turn. There was always a time when a wife became a mother-in-law. When she really looked at the problem from the same perspective, she knew what she needed.

Hui Niang smiled and said, "It turns out that my sister was not deliberately angry with the child, but just wanted to discipline her future daughter-in-law, but she was doing well."

Zhou shook his head and sighed: "This girl has been very well-behaved and obedient since entering the door. I always think she is a daughter. If it weren't for the past, how could I bear to beat her?"

...

Chen Xi arrived at a teahouse in the south of the city according to the invitation, which happened to be where Chen Xi first met Su Tong.

The teahouse is located on the banks of Tingjiang River and has a good scenery on weekdays. But now it is the cold winter month. It looks withered and yellow everywhere, withered and withered, and there is no scenery to say.

Chen Xi came a little early, which surprised Su Tong: "Brother Shen, I'm afraid you won't come."

Su Tong personally accompanied Chen Xi upstairs. Because the cold wind outside was blowing, the windows were not opened, the two of them chose a seat inside to sit down. Su Tong was about to say something to Chen Xi, but someone came again, so Su Tong hurried over to entertain Chen Xi and let Chen Xi "convenience".

The teahouse is not very big. Chen Xi looked around and saw many seats empty, but there were few people like him who were alone at a table, either looking for friends to sit with him or just making acquaintance.

But even if he is the only one in Chen Xi, and everyone knows the famous Chen Xi, who is now a test case against Chen Xi. But no one comes to deal with it.

In the end, Wu Shengyu, who had not seen for a long time, came upstairs and sat down at Shen Xi's table.

After a few months of sight, Wu Shengyu became famous and looked more like a handsome young man, and his height was more similar to that of an adult.

Chen Xi is still a low boy in the past six months and has not seen much height.

"Young Master Chen, it's been a long time since I was gone."

Wu Shengyu was very polite and greeted Chen Xi.

Chen Xi replied, and he felt a little embarrassed to sit with Wu Shengyu. If he lived in Fucheng, he could also discuss the content of the monthly exam that had just ended, but unlike the Fucheng that needed to set questions from the Fucheng, the children of each county under Tingzhou Prefecture were all taking the county exams, and Wu Shengyu took the exam questions from the Confucianism Office of Qingliu County. There was no topic to discuss between the two.

But Wu Shengyu first spoke: "Mr. Chen wrote a poem during his examination in the mansion. After going back, he carefully studied it and found that it was quite exquisite. The sword sharpness emerged from the sharpness, and the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold. It really told me that my scholars had been hard for decades. I wonder if Mr. Chen, can these two lines of poetry be complemented?"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Work with pleasure. I have not made up for it."

Wu Shengyu sighed: "Such a good poem is just a sentence. It's a pity, it's a pity. Even if others are willing to make up for it, it's not from the words of Mr. Shen."

When Chen Xi heard Wu Shengyu's meaning, he wanted him to complete these two lines of poetry into seven-character quatrains.

In fact, many people have tried to complete these two lines of poetry, but they have to complete a common saying into a poem, which is a big deal.

Chen Xi didn't ask in detail, but instead asked: "Sir Wu shouldn't be preparing for the exam in Qingliu County? Why did he come to the Fucheng?"

Wu Shengyu smiled and said, "I went to Fucheng to visit the new Prime Minister An, and met the scholars in Fucheng. At the same time, I had always had letters with Master Su. He once said that Master Chen not only had outstanding talent but also had an expert knowledge of the art of geography and mysterious air. At the same time, I was fascinated by the time, so I begged Master Su to invite Master Chen to talk to him."

Chen Xi smiled, wondering how Wu Shengyu hooked up with Su Tong.

Wu Shengyu seemed very polite, but Chen Xi had long realized that he was the kind of young man who was above the top. He looked down on others, and others looked down on him. Su Tong once told Chen Xi that no matter how powerful Wu Shengyu was, he was just a concubine. But in just half a year, Wu Shengyu could become a "pen pal" with Su Tong, and there must be something tricky about it.

As the starter of the literary club, Su Tong was responsible for all the guests. After everyone arrived, he would introduce the people present.

Wu Shengyu and Chen Xi, as the youngest people in the college entrance examination next year, were grandly introduced to everyone by Su Tong. Except for two young and promising scholars present, the rest were all children who participated in the college entrance examination next year. These people said "long-term reverence" and "admiration" but were not convinced.

"Brother Shen, Mr. Wu, don't mind. This is the case with these people. When you sit down and discuss, you might as well make their fool of yourself."

Su Tong took the opportunity to provoke it, mainly because he was afraid that Wu Shengyu would not like Chen Xi to speak in public. Last time Chen Xi and Su Tong attended the cultural meeting, he did not express any opinions from beginning to end.
