Chapter 791: Caged Bird
The year will soon come, counting the fingers, this is the seventh year of coming to this world, and the mix is quite good, with the background of the Ming Dynasty and the opportunity of Wu Sangui's rebellion, he finally has his own foothold, and has three daughters-in-law and three babies, which is a good thing that I can't think of in later generations.
However, every time I go out to fight, I play with my life, and it is a lot more thrilling than the days when I hid in the laboratory before.
The three ladies were originally able to toss one more than one before they got married, but now it's better, one is more idle than the other, Cheng Xiaolian's three-legged cat's cooking skills have been almost learned by them, in this era, women can no longer go out to do things when they become relatives, and they are still this status, and the people who protect them after going out can do what they do many times.
Hearing about their lives in the mansion, Cheng Xiaolian felt quite guilty, originally thought that not letting them appear in front of the courtiers would prevent the battle in the court from being involved in the harem, but now he felt as if he had built a cage with his own hands and locked them in.
"I'd like to ask you for your opinion." Cheng Xiaolian has never called himself me at home, and most of those subordinates are called by the old man, young master and wife, although they will change their words when they go out, but this unwritten rule has been formed in the house.
"What's the matter?"
"Don't you think your daily life is boring?"
Mao Ruoling was stunned for a moment: "Boring? How can it be boring? Last month, we also went to the temple outside the city to offer incense, and the first two days we used your name to give porridge in the city, which is much better than those ladies who do not leave the gate. β
"I mean, you don't have what you want to do? It's not as fond of musical instruments as Bing'erγγγγγγ β
Mao Ruoling raised her eyebrows: "If you like a musical instrument, you can play it at home, is it possible that you still want your wife to run to the street to perform arts?" β
Wen Duruo laughed: "Sister, you are always in such a hurry, let your husband finish speaking." β
Cheng Xiaolian continued: "Of course, it is impossible to go out to perform arts, but if you can teach others, it is also a pleasure, I am often outside, and I think your life is a bit monotonous. β
Mao Ruoling snorted: "You know that you are always outside, if you really have the heart, don't go out in Chengdu Mansion, those people are all from the army, do you still use your hands to teach you about war?" β
"Then don't believe it, your husband and I have the reputation of the fox of the battlefield, and every time you can find a vital fighter, just like this time in Henan, if it weren't for your husband and I to occupy Ruzhou first, could our Ming army be able to defeat the Manchu army so easily?"
Hearing this, Wen Duruo was also a little dissatisfied: "We have all seen the news from this battlefield, you are also the father of three children, how to do things are still so reckless, not to mention the lonely army, there are only a few hundred people around you, what if the people in Ruzhou City are desperate with you?" You should always think about what you do. β
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "At that time, this fighter plane was fleeting, where did I have the time to find someone else, and besides, if someone else did this kind of thing, it might not be as good as me." Okay, okay, I know, next time I will never risk my life, I have to think about you and your children. β
Wen Duruo continued: "I have understood what you just said, I know that you are for our good, but have you ever considered that in this situation, someone else has sent a child over to teach Sister Bing, where should these people choose?" If it is a girl from a high-ranking official family, it will inevitably be entangled at that time, and whoever we teach or not will favor one over the other. If it is a girl from an ordinary family, what is the use of learning this, it is better to learn some ways to run a family, and it is better to marry someone in the future. β
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is not the next generation, where are the children of ordinary families who can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, only the women of large families or the women of Qinglou will learn these things, and the women of large families have already denied it, if they really teach the top card of Qinglou, the history books will not laugh at him.
"What Madame said makes sense, I just have such an idea temporarily, this is not suitable, let's choose it slowly, even if it is to teach people to read and write."
Mao Ruoling poured Cheng Xiaolian a cup of tea: "What, you still have to let us earn money for you back, don't you?" β
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Mao Ruoling: "Do you feel very satisfied with your current life?" β
"To be exact, very satisfied."
"Okay, I'll disqualify you from speaking today."
"Why?"
"I'm the head of the family."
Saying that, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the two ladies next to him: "You are from a big family, so you naturally adapt to life in the house, don't you see what your sisters are bored into?" β
This is a thing, Wen Duruo and Situ Bing were used to running on the rivers and lakes before, and they were really a little unaccustomed to being bored suddenly, but they felt that since they were married to Cheng Xiaolian, they had to save his face and study hard to be an official lady, and they couldn't let other people laugh at Cheng Xiaolian's wife for not knowing the rules, right? Although it is impossible for anyone to laugh at them openly in the current situation, it is also terrifying behind the scenes.
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "You may think that it is normal to be an official lady, but maybe there are other ways to make you happier, your husband and I have always liked to deviate, never listen to the greetings of those ministers, you don't have to worry about what others say, if you can find something you like to do, husband and I will carry it down for you." So far, our family doesn't need to please anyone, as long as it doesn't hurt nature, no one can control us. β
The three women around them all laughed: "It always sounds like a lawless scoundrel." β
"If it weren't for this scoundrel's energy, how could I coax all three of you into the door, and one by one you would be cheap and behaved, hum."
Wen Duruo laughed: "We all understand what the husband said, in fact, after staying in the house for a long time, it is indeed boring, and even playing the pipa is a little out of energy, but no matter what we do, those people will always talk about us, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble." β
Mao Ruoling snorted: "My sister began to retreat again, so where does my husband care what others say, I'm afraid that he will make a direct will, who dares to say a knife click, then my sister will be able to go out and do what she likes, leaving only my sister alone in the house, pitiful." β
"Don't speak, you're banned today, you can only listen but can't speak."
Wen Duruo also blushed: "My sister has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I can't talk about you." β
