Jiapingguan Chronicle

"It's actually quite good to leave such an impression on Madam at the first meeting, which shows that His Royal Highness Ning Wang is very real." Jin Miaomiao smiled, looked at Patriarch Luan, and then at Lady Liu, meaning something , "Not all people are so frank and show their truest side when they meet strangers for the first time."

"Yeah, so, that's why I have a good impression of him."

"But..." Hongye said dissatisfiedly, resting her cheeks, "He doesn't understand girls, and he doesn't know what you want at all. You say move, he says shit, you say hit a dog, and he just wants to Going to catch chickens, isn't it right for a donkey?"

"What you said is wrong." Jin Miaomiao waved his hand, "They just don't understand the style, and they can't reach the level of caring you think."

"Yes, but this can't be said to be a shortcoming. There are very few boys in this world who can understand what girls want." Liu's daughter sighed softly, glanced at her husband, and sighed again. Said, "General, if this is your criterion for choosing a son-in-law, it is very likely that you will not find a suitable one."

"That's not necessarily true!" Hongye looked at Shen Haolin, then at Xue Ruitian, "I think the boys around me are pretty good, and I'm sure I can't do the thing that you say it's cold and bring you hot tea .”

"The general is quite lucky. He can meet someone who is caring, but there are quite a lot of people who are not so caring."

"That's true!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "There are really very few people who know exactly what you are thinking, not many."

"So, this can't be regarded as a shortcoming. You can't beat people to death just because of this. Let alone young men in their twenties who have not yet married, even old men who are over half a century old and have been married for many years can It may not be clear what their wives and aunts really like and what they really want."

"Yeah!" Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "This is indeed the case. Some people think that they do a particularly good job, but their wives don't understand themselves, and they are very hypocritical, and then they don't know how to be satisfied. They don't want to be satisfied at all. I don't know what went wrong with me."

"That's it, what they think is completely different from what we think." Liu's daughter sighed softly, and glanced at her husband, "In the hearts of these gentlemen, as long as they give money to the female relatives, The silk and satin they want, the gold, silver and jewelry they want, and giving them a life without worrying about food and clothing, this is considered considerate. As for other things, for example, women also need some company, chat, and confide There are some things on my mind that the old man will never think of."

Patriarch Luan couldn't bear to be so brightly pointed out, but when he heard what Liu's daughter said, he showed a blank expression again.

"Tell me about this, just find your little sister?" He looked at Shen Haolin in a daze, then at Xue Ruitian, "Isn't it necessary to meet with the little sister every now and then, to have tea with the lady you've been friends with? ? On such an occasion, isn’t it just that we can talk about everything?”

"Patriarch Luan, there are some things that cannot be said outside, even if it is the little sister of the madam, the madam who is close to her, she cannot know. What's more, what the respected madam wants is to have harmony with her husband. What does it have to do with outsiders?"

"This..." Patriarch Luan thought for a while, then shook his head lightly, "I don't really understand."

"Let's put it this way, Mrs. Zun comes from a scholarly family, so besides the material things you gave me, I have some other needs."

"Other needs? Chatting?" Patriarch Luan shook his head lightly, "Traveling in the mountains and rivers? How can I have the time to be so busy with socializing!"

"Did you hear that?" Miss Liu smiled wryly, "This is probably the truest thought of many men."

"Patriarch Luan, I have a question I want to ask." Hong Ye looked at Patriarch Luan and said casually, "If Madam Tianzun wants to talk to you about poems, songs, ideals in life, or a certain poet she likes very much , can you talk to her, can you communicate with her?"

"No!" Patriarch Luan replied very simply, "Although I like these too, it should be impossible, because we don't have the time. Besides, we have lived in Jiangnan for decades, and my wife often holds flower viewing at home." Banquets, tea-tasting banquets, etc., but the guests are all the wives of Jiangnan Commercial Company, and I have never seen her invite famous families in Jiangnan. We usually have some contacts, so I think she doesn't like these people. And she has some contacts with us Everyone held a banquet, and we have never received an invitation card, and they probably think it is inappropriate for us to appear at such a banquet, so they did not invite us."

"Master, you really think us too important. The famous families we associate with are just the branches of everyone in the south of the Yangtze River who specialize in business. With our status, we can't reach the family. What's more, even if we are specialized The branch responsible for doing business, and the guests at the banquet are also branches of the famous family, and they are the same people, so we are nothing in the eyes of others."

"Why should Madam belittle herself?"

"It's not self-deprecating, it's the truth." Liu's daughter sighed softly, "Just now, the lord said that I came from a scholarly family, and he already thinks highly of me and praises me very much. The Liu family is just a small family. A small family of scholars, that is, there are two or three generations of scholars. My father was lucky enough to be an official. His family background in Xijing City is nothing. Jiangnan is a gathering place of centuries-old and thousand-year-old families, and our family background can't afford to splash a little bit of water there."

"Oh, so that's the case." Patriarch Luan smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know much about the doorway here, and I don't know that there are so many sayings in it. I am really sorry for wronging Madam all these years. "

Liu's daughter didn't answer Patriarch Luan's remarks. She couldn't tell whether her husband was acting on the occasion or was really jealous. His tone seemed to be joking, but his expression seemed to be full of heart.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help showing a wry smile. Although they have been husband and wife for so many years, they are indeed very compatible in certain things, especially about the tasks of the master's family and the business of the Luan and Liu families. , They have a tacit understanding, but in these aspects of knowledge and interest, there are indeed some shortcomings. Sometimes they really feel like playing the piano with the cow. Maybe they are really suitable to be partners, not husband and wife partners with soul-crossing.
