Chapter 742 Commentary
Two days later, Chen Luochen and his family moved into the official house. The yard they lived in was in the middle of this official house.
The distance between the Shen House and the neighbors on both sides is only a lane between the courtyard wall and the courtyard wall. If you stand in the yard and speak loudly, the neighbors on both sides can hear it clearly.
Chen Luochen and Qiao Yunran didn't like this kind of living environment very much, but they couldn't do anything unique. Moreover, the wife of Zhou Zhoutong was particularly concerned about the movements of Chen's house.
The cook said that when she went in and out, she could see people standing on the other side of Zhou's house, as if she was checking the movements of the neighbors at any time. When Qiao Yunran listened to the cook's words, she took her two children casually and walked around the door of the yard twice.
When neighbors around occasionally meet each other, they will greet each other, but they seem to mind the Zhou family members very much.
Qiao Yunran and Shen Luochen mentioned that their family came to the beginning of the year and wanted to invite a banquet for the people in the government. Everyone took this opportunity to get to know each other.
Chen Luochen shook his hand and said, "Madam, we don't do such things. I heard from the people below that Mrs. Zhou is very good at acting. With such an opportunity, after she comes to eat and drink, she will take the opportunity to train the hostess to not be able to think about frugality for the man.
Then when she has the chance, she will stuff her girl over. If you don’t take it away, Lord Zhou will come and explain Mrs. Zhou’s sincere thoughts about other people’s husband and wife.”
After hearing Chen Luochen's words, Qiao Yunran suddenly lost his mind. She smiled and said to Shen Luochen: "Husband, if you don't have this requirement, I will naturally not do something to cause trouble."
Chen Luochen laughed and said, "Everyone is not stupid. They sent the girl in. Unless there are people who are ignorant, ordinary people will arrange something for the girl to do.
See if the girl will think about things. If she doesn’t think about things, she will be able to send it out after a long time. A sensible girl will ask the girl what she means and find a good place for her.”
Chen Luochen didn't want Qiao Yunran to think too much, so he hid some things. Some of them would directly take the girl into the room, and then return the girl to the Zhou family when he left a few years later.
When Chen Luochen heard the mention, he looked surprised at the time, but the person who spoke to him said mysteriously: "No one of us lives in this area is as many as the Zhou family's girls."
They buy more girls a year. Their family bought more than a dozen little girls last year, and they all chose to buy them with just the appearance. People in Tongcheng know that if they want to send girls to the Zhou family, they can only give girls with ordinary looks."
When Chen Luochen came to Tongcheng, it was really not convenient to find out about the city. Now he is interested in inquiring about the situation. Someone is willing to tell him these gossips, so he is naturally happy to listen.
The couple in Zhouzhou were waiting for Chen Luochen and his wife to entertain guests. After waiting for almost a month, the family had no movement. They were still their cook. They said it by chance that Chen's house would not hold a banquet.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou called the cook to ask carefully. Then she was very angry and said to Zhou Zhou, "Master, you also said that those two were from aristocratic families. I saw that this couple could not do anything to small families.
After their family came, they only sent some sweet cakes to each family to show their friendship. In fact, everyone was waiting for their posts to get together, and they could get to know each other again."
The neighbors' wives had this idea at first, but later they heard their man mention that the wife of the Shen family had to take care of two young children, so she really didn't have any thoughts about this and could only send sweet cakes to each family to show that she wanted to get close to each other.
The men faced the women's puzzled eyes and said bluntly: "Mr. Chenzhou and his family said that when they first came, they wanted to invite the neighbors around them.
After thinking about it, the couple still didn't want to cause trouble for us. They invited our family as guests, and we always had to invite them back and forth. I am afraid that we would not be able to calm down in this area for less than half a month."
The woman looked at the man and said indignantly: "Master, after we came that day, we invited neighbors to visit us, but most of them never invited our family back, and there was no statement after that, as if we should have had a meal for nothing."
The man looked at the woman's expression and said slowly: "If you think about what happened later, we should also understand why the neighbors are not willing to reply to the invitation. The Zhouzhou and his wife can't afford to offend him. If you have the chance, you should just avoid it."
After listening to the man's words, the woman felt a little angry when she thought of the Zhou girl who was still working in the backyard and said, "Master, that girl is not young anymore. What are your plans for her? You should also tell me."
The man looked at the woman and said, "What are my plans for her? You can find an opportunity to tell Mrs. Zhou that the girl is old and will be arranged by Guanya to marry her."
The woman looked at the man and mocked, "Master, in Mrs. Zhou's heart, there is no need to be betrothed out if the girl is not twenty-five years old. Her girl's rules for getting married are practiced according to the age of a palace maid."
The man became a little worried and said, "She sent the girl over that day and also took the body contract. Tell her, if she doesn't allow it, she will send the girl back directly. She can do whatever she wants, as long as we don't let our family cause trouble in the end."
The woman then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have been looking for an opportunity to mention it to Mrs. Zhou these days. If she is reluctant to let the girl get married, I will naturally not keep anyone."
The woman is actually grateful that Mrs. Zhou doesn't like the habit of beauty. No matter how beautiful the girl she sent her, she is, she looks down on her handsome appearance, so she doesn't even look down on her husband, so she has a less concubine at home.
Women and men will mention Shen Luochen and his wife. The couple are both handsome and not so approachable. At least they can't see Mrs. Zhou taking the initiative to come to get close to Mrs. Shen.
When a man remembered Zhou Zhoutong's reference to Shen Luochen, he always said the four words "young and promising". He seemed that he could not comment on Chen Luochen without saying these four words.
