Chapter 31 Between Women
In fact, Zhang Changzong and Zhang Jingxiong's bet can be decided by the winner. However, Zhang Changzong does not have to decide the winner. His purpose is not here. He just wants to take all his children to study hard and strive to control his own destiny.
The Zhang family's east and west mansions are just a few men. Compared with the aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, they can be considered to be a small population. Those families are not considered to be a side branch, and they can only have one or two hundred people in terms of their own lineage. They are not comparable to small families like the Zhang family. There are only a few people in the Zhang family. If they still fight around, it would be boring and have no future.
Zhang Changzong could not find an opportunity to reconcile with Zhang Jingxiong for a while. In school, Zhang Jingxiong almost avoided him. Zhang Yizhi said that it was because Zhang Jingxiong did not want to give up and was holding on.
Children all have self-esteem. Zhang Changzong recalled that when he was a child, he seemed not a person who was willing to accept the gambling and lost. Naturally, he could understand Zhang Jingxiong's psychology and did not force him to do whatever he should do, study hard and improve every day.
Zhang Jingxiong was born in February, and his tenth birthday will be held in a few days. The child's tenth birthday will be completed. A few days ago, Aunt Si had already sent a post. Wei had already prepared a gift and was preparing to go over to celebrate Zhang Jingxiong's birthday with his family.
On Zhang Jingxiong's birthday, Mr. Li and Mr. Wu were also among the guests and had a holiday in the school. When they woke up in the morning, Wei and his daughter-in-law dressed up their own sons and took out their own spring clothes from the bottom of the box to change them.
The Zhang family is poor and does not cut new clothes for their family every year. In addition, due to the printing and dyeing and washing techniques of ancient fabrics, the clothes fade quickly. The fabric is not too worn, so the color is unevenly washed.
Wei is a smart housewife. In order to give all the children at home, he saves more frugality in clothes. As long as there is no hole, the color is older, and he is very careful in all kinds of expenses. However, even the poorest families have one or two pieces of clothing that can only be worn when they are away. The Zhang family naturally has it. The fabric is better than usual, and the printing and dyeing is better. It will naturally fade slowly when washing, so it will be kept for wearing when you go out to see a guest.
The whole family went to the West Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door, a woman in green clothes was already standing next to the door, dressed as a servant, and greeted her with a smile: "Mrs. I am my wife's servant Dingman's family. I am on the order of our wife. I will welcome my wife and husbands here. My wife can call me Amo. Our wife has been waiting in the house for a long time. Please!"
Wei nodded with satisfaction and got off the carriage with the help of his two daughters-in-law. A group of children sat in the rented carriage and got off one after another.
After entering the mansion, the female family went to the backyard to meet the fourth aunt. The man, led by Zhang Changqi, went to see the fourth uncle first. Wei brought the children very early, and the guests had not arrived yet. After meeting the fourth uncle, Zhang Changqi and other adult men stayed in the outer yard. Zhang Changzong and other little kids were thrown into the backyard.
"Madam, Goro, Liuro and Xiaoro are here!"
"Greetings to my aunt (uncle and grandmother)."
A group of children saluted the two aunts sitting in the upper seat. Zhang Changzong met his aunt from the West Mansion when he was very young. Later, after he learned to speak, Wei didn't like him to meet people. He occasionally brought him out, and often pretended to be cute and cute.
Aunt Si sat in the main seat, with Mrs. Wei and Mrs. San sitting next to him. Zhang Jingxiong stood next to Aunt Si, and Mrs. Zhang Lingde and Zhang Lingxiang stood next to Aunt Si, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law sat behind Wei.
The third aunt Pei's lips moved slightly, and she gave them a gift. She was not enthusiastic when they treated their brothers, so she only asked the servants to give a gift to meet each other, with two silver nude sons in their purses.
The fourth aunt Du was very enthusiastic and shared the meeting gift with a smile. Although they were two naked sons, the weight they fell into his hands was obviously heavier than what Aunt San gave him.
Du said with a smile: "I haven't seen Wulang for a long time, Liulang and Wenyang, Wenying, Wenzhen, etc., but they are better! No wonder my sister-in-law hides them and refuses to take them out more. If I have such a group of young men, I'm afraid I'm reluctant to let them go. Liulang comes over to hug her aunt, it's hard for you to be so young that you can sit in school even if you go to school."
As he said that, he waved to Zhang Changzong. Zhang Changzong was used to it. As the youngest among a group of children, every time he saw an elder, he was hugged and touched in the end. In addition, he was cute, and even the chance of being tweeted was greatly boosted.
Blame me jpg
He smiled at Du shyly, pretending to be shy. Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Jingxiong, who were beside him, glanced at the side together, not wanting to see Zhang Changzong's shy expression that was hurt and shy. As a result, the two of them had just met. Zhang Yizhi pulled the corners of his mouth, Zhang Jingxiong pursed his lips, and his eyes were staggered again.
Zhang Changzong smiled and spoke clearly, answering Aunt Si's question, such as "I'm still used to it at school" and "Is there something missing in the inner room of my nap?" Zhang Changzong answered one by one, and got Aunt Si's head touching and hugging.
"I heard that Liulang wrote a poem "Ode to Snow"?"
Pei suddenly spoke.
Zhang Changzong was a little confused—
How did Aunt San know?!
However, Wei, who was accused of this smug, had a little smile on his face, but his tone was still pretentious: "Sanniang heard about it? It's not worth it. Liu Lang's talent is enlightened and his talent is limited. It's just a simple poem, and it's hard to enter the elegant hall."
Pei smiled and said with a look of surprise, "It turned out to be what Liulang did! I thought it was said by others, but I had such a reputation at a young age, so my sister-in-law should be more strict. If she is as naughty as Silang, it would be a pity for such talents."
Wei has never been a cunning person, and he immediately changed his color when he heard this. Zhang Changzong immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings from Aunt San, but my nephew is obedient. He is conscious and voluntarily reading and practicing calligraphy. He never needs my mother to beat and scold me! Such a well-behaved child, Aunt San wants me to be strict with her? Could it be that she doesn't like her nephew's butt? No! Please give me a way out! My mom, you can't listen to Aunt San's class!"
With a fear on his face, Du's heart moved, and he carried him over with a smile, touched his cheek and said with a smile: "Such a well-behaved child, not to mention your mother, even the Fourth Aunt is reluctant to beat and scold him. Don't worry, Liulang, if your mother beats and scolds you, you will run to the Fourth Aunt's house. The Fourth Aunt is welcome at any time!"
Seeing that Aunt Fourth helps to relieve the siege, Zhang Changzong quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Good Aunt Fourth, then we will agree! At that time, I will ask Aunt Fourth to help my nephew coax my mother!"
Du heard the interest and asked, "How do you want to coax your mother?"
Zhang Changzong said: "My mother likes to eat sesame oil cakes from the first Huren shop in the east of the West City. At that time, Aunt Four will send someone to accompany her nephew to travel."
"Good boy! You are so young that you know what your mother likes to eat! Such filial piety makes people happy and envious. Aunt Jing Xiong must not know what I like to eat."
Du praised happily, and Zhang Jingxiong next to him was dissatisfied with stomping his feet: "My grandma, go out for a while."
Du said angrily: "Look, but I'll be unhappy if I say a few words to him! Forget it, you guys are just having fun, so you won't be restricted. Let's go out to play. Goro, take your brothers and nephews, and the nanny remember to watch out for them."
"Here!"
