Ajiu

Chapter 17 Don't Be Virtuous
Xu glanced at little Ajiu with a smile, and moved her mouth towards the sewing basket.Little Ajiu, choose this one, whether you like it or not, girls still have to pretend to love needlework to fool people.

It's a pity, whether Gu's eyesight or Xu's small movements, they are all "casting in the dark", as if Ajiu didn't see it.

"This child is usually so clever, what's going on today." Both Gu and Xu were puzzled and worried about Ajiu.

On the other hand, Lin Youhui, the mother, seemed to stay out of the matter, smiling and looking at little Ajiu, not caring what she wanted to catch at all.Lin Youhui and Pei Erye had the same meaning, "Little Ajiu can grab whatever she likes, and she can follow her heart."

Ajiu stared at the objects in front of her without blinking her big eyes, her mind spinning rapidly: Which one is the most valuable?Which one is the most valuable?

She is appraising.

Lin Youhui smiled brightly at Ajiu's little look of contemplating her brows.Ajiu, good girl, you are usually straightforward, why are you not free and easy now?No matter what, just pick one or two things you like.

Ajiu estimated the price for a long time, and finally stretched out her fat little hand, grabbed the jade abacus with one hand, and grabbed a psychic and clear spirit stone, Tian Huangdong, with the other. "Even if these two aren't the most valuable, they're about the same, right?" Ajiu grabbed the two treasures and smiled happily.

Jade abacus is not only a beautiful jade, but also a work of art, so it should be worth a lot.Tianhuang jelly is the best among Tianhuang stones. It is rare and precious, and has always been a tribute.These two items must be very valuable.

Ajiu grabbed the jade abacus with one hand and Tian Huangdong with the other, and laughed happily.Her smile was carefree and sweet, pure and innocent, making the preoccupied adults see their worldly thoughts disappear, and immediately become pure and noble.

Relatives and friends all praised, "I'm holding jade, and I will be a gentle child when I grow up! I'm also holding a piece of Tianhuang jelly, which is rare and rare. This Tianhuang jelly is moist and crystal clear, and it is really extraordinary. Nanny, it must be a clear one." Yes, elegant."

Relatives and friends say auspicious words and kind words.On this kind of occasion, polite words and stereotypes are flying all over the sky, but the host and guest can still enjoy themselves.

With the exception of one guest.

Xu’s cousin, Zhao Zhen, also came this day. She quietly pulled Xu aside, and said hesitantly: “Cousin, your little niece is holding a spinning wheel, but she doesn’t catch needles and threads, but she grabs a plaything. It's romantic, not doing business properly."

What I caught was wrong.

On Zhao Zhen's face, there was a strong look of worry.

Seeing Zhao Zhen like this, Mrs. Xu's head hurts.Just take care of yourself, don't worry about eating radishes!My little Ajiu is not doing business?nonsense.

"... Before my eldest sister caught Zhou, I ordered someone to teach her how to catch a spinning wheel, and I taught her for a long time." Zhao Zhen said with some complacency.

Grasping the week is a commemorative event. It is the child's appearance in front of relatives and friends after the full moon and hundred days. It should not be underestimated.Catch a week, be sure to imprint the labels of "virtuous" and "IKEA" on the eldest sister in the eyes of relatives and friends.

Otherwise, the eldest sister will be disgusted by relatives and friends.

Mrs. Xu was really speechless to Zhao Zhen, this "cousin".The first time you came to my house, you cried at every turn, and this time you criticized my Pei family's sweetheart again, you...you really don't wink at all.

"The jade and famous stones that my family Ajiu caught are very good, they are all treasures." Xu's expression was indifferent, "She will be a talented girl when she grows up, a good girl with both ability and virtue."

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Women are virtuous without talent." What do women need talents for?Left and right are just husbands and children.

Xu and Zhao Zhen didn't talk to each other, so they sent this "cousin" away early.Zhao Zhen didn't dare to stay longer when she saw her unkind expression.

"If she and Pei's family come and go often, I'll be mad at me if I don't keep it together!" Seeing Zhao Zhen's thin back, Xu frowned and thought.

My uncle can be considered a hero, how did he raise such a daughter?It's so dumb, so disgusting.

Mrs. Xu felt unhappy when she thought that she would often socialize with such a cousin in the future.

"Can you think of a way to get rid of the 'cousin'?" Xu pondered, "If there is no other way, I have to ask my father, or the cousin of the Zhao family, to transfer the 'cousin-in-law' of the Mei family away."

If Mei Qianhu was no longer in the Suzhou Guard, Zhao Zhen, his wife, would naturally leave with her.In this way, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of the "cousin".

Xu has a calculation in her heart.

The night is as cool as water, and the candlelight is dim.

"We, Ajiu, I guess we don't have a virtuous temperament when we grow up." Mrs. Fang smiled and talked about Ajiu's grasping.

"Don't be virtuous." Prefect Pei said slowly: "The world is declining and people's hearts are not ancient. What's the use of being virtuous."

Nowadays, the trend of extravagance is becoming more and more popular, no matter whether it is a big family or a middle-level family, it is very rare for a husband and wife to stay together.Even if they already have sons and daughters, men still want to buy concubines, and they still refuse to stop.Such a fashion, what do you do to raise a girl virtuously?Growing up in her natal family's pampered family, and then going to her husband's house, would she be willing to take care of her concubine?

Don't be virtuous.

Prefect Pei is a well-known local official, who is very disgusted and opposed to officials, wealthy businessmen, and gentlemen taking concubines and maidservants.There is not much difference between the number of adult men and adult women in the world, but if there are too many concubines from wealthy and official families, there will be many poor men who have nowhere to marry.If a middle-aged man has no family, is he willing to keep his position and accept it?

Can be imagined.

On the one hand, poor men cannot marry a wife, and on the other hand, men from rich and noble families occupy dozens, even dozens, or hundreds of concubines.

Prefect Pei was very dissatisfied with this atmosphere.

Mrs. Fang was startled, "Is this the case already? If so, who will Ajiu marry when she grows up? I don't feel at ease marrying anyone."

Ah Jiu is only one year old, but Mrs. Fang already has such worries.

Prefect Pei smiled, "Most of them are like this, but there are always exceptions. We only have one little Ajiu, and little Ajiu also only needs a little son-in-law, just one, let's pick it out slowly, let's talk about the past."

Most of the time, we don't have to worry about it.We don't want many, one is enough.

Seeing her husband's determined expression, Mrs. Fang couldn't help beaming, "Sure, I'll listen to you."

Little Ajiu didn't know that her lifelong events had entered the eyes of her grandparents. At this moment, she was holding her breath, walking seriously, and learning to walk.

She was still walking unsteadily and sometimes fell to the ground.After falling down, she cried twice, then got up and continued to waddle.

Second Master Pei was dressed in a light robe, holding a volume of Yellow Valley Collection, leaning on the Luohan couch to read it leisurely.It is said to be reading, but in fact, I am not concentrating. I have to stop from time to time to look at my precious daughter.

Ah Jiu wanted to walk by herself, and he was not allowed to follow or support her.

If he followed without worry, Ajiu would stretch out her little hand and push him, "Father, no."

Those little hands are obviously soft and small, but they are also very powerful, they can really push her father, Second Master Pei away.

"Ajiu is so strong!" Lin Youhui exclaimed from the side, looking very surprised.

Ajiu looked up to the sky proudly and smiled, and continued to stumble and learn to walk.
