Chapter 2 Acknowledging Relatives(2/3)
Moreover, when I got married like this, the family knew it clearly. They must be very good to me. They also had so many dowry and would not have to worry about food and drink. This way, it was indeed a good marriage.
"Okay." She nodded with a smile.
With the Sixteenth Lang of the Chen family getting married, the entire Chen family seemed to be beaten up and their luck changed greatly. The first change was that there were more people coming to the door to talk about marriage.
People come to ask about the children who are old and are about to marry, even the children of the Chen Ali family. The most important thing is that they are not the ones who were not on the market before, either official families or gentry and businessmen, which makes the Chen family very happy.
"This is all thanks to Shiliulang." Everyone said one after another, becoming more and more attentive to the fourth house of the Chen family.
In fact, life has not changed much, but everyone's spirit has improved a lot.
“There are a few good families.”
Chen Ali and Mrs. Chen Si sat together and talked about their children's marriage.
"I don't want them to marry too far. Dalang Erlang and the others are not at home, they don't have a brotherly guard, and it's like this family again. I'm not at ease when I go out."
Mrs. Chen Si nodded.
"Then look for it nearby. Now Shiliulang has his father-in-law to take care of him, so let Dalang and the others come back from the military service camp and farm here, and Shiliulang goes for them." She said.
As Mrs. Chen Si said, this marriage was completed. Although I didn’t say anything, the world was like a mirror. My sons dare not ask for a future, at least their children’s marriage was hopeful.
Chen Ali was a little relieved, but then sighed again.
Other children are easy to talk about, but Chen Danniang...
The daughter of the criminal, coupled with the former Crown Princess, made her look like a widow, not as good as a widow in the world. At least the widow could remarry at will.
Chen Ali sat in the room and watched the girl who was about to turn thirteen in the yard walking by.
"Dan Niang." She couldn't help but shout.
Chen Danniang turned around and looked at her mother and smiled and responded to the yes.
"What is my mother's order?" she asked, holding a bow in one hand and a quiver in the other. "The house is packed up, I read a book and wrote a piece of words. Now I'm going to go out to practice arrows."
Chen Ali didn't know what to say.
"It's okay," she said, and asked again, "Is your sister-in-law still with you today?"
"My sister-in-law and brother Sixteen are out." Chen Danniang said, "My sister-in-law has taught me almost all, so I can practice more."
Chen Ali stood up.
"I'll go to your aunt's house and accompany you for a while," she said.
The mother and daughter went out together. The year was approaching, and firecrackers were heard everywhere. The adults and children who passed by also had a little smile on their faces, which was much better than the previous period of sorrow and bleak crying.
"No matter how difficult life is, we can live." Chen Danniang suddenly said, "Mother. Fortunately, we did not seek death at that time."
Chen Ali felt sour in his heart and reached out to caress her shoulders.
"Dan Madam, don't bear it if you feel bad." She choked up.
This child has not cried yet, but it is abnormal, which makes people feel very nervous.
"Mother, I feel a little sad." Chen Danniang said, "but it's not the kind of sadness I have to endure."
What's so sad?
Chen Ali looked at his daughter. This was the first time Chen Danniang said this after the incident.
"It was my father who made a mistake. My father admitted it. As my father's daughter, I should bear these sins for my father." Chen Danniang said seriously, with a little childish voice, "So this is the sadness I am willing to do. It does not need to be endured."
Chen Ali nodded and smiled a little sourly.
"Good boy." she said.
Chen Danniang smiled again.
"I know what you are worried about, Mother," she said, turning to look at Chen Ali with clear eyes, "I'm fine, Mother. I know this is the mistake my father made, we are redeeming the mistake for my father. I'm not wrong, we are not wrong, we don't have to be inferior or be ashamed to meet others. How others think of us is their business, we just need to have a clear conscience."
Chen Ali was stunned. Is this okay?
Yes, this is indeed OK. Isn’t that the woman the same?
"I practice arrows like hers." She smiled.
Who is she? Chen Danniang understood and smiled and didn't say anything.
"Dan Niang. She takes good care of you." Chen Ali said hesitantly, "You, what do you think."
Speaking of which, Chen Shao's crime is an unbearable sin that the royal family has, but as the queen, she takes good care of them. What would Chen Danniang, a child who loves her father, think in her heart?
Thinking that the father is innocent, thinking that others are false, thinking that he gives alms, thinking that he is pity, and even thinking that his father is wronged...
"She likes me very much." Chen Danniang replied immediately, with a little casualness.
Chen Ali was stunned.
"I like her, she likes me too. I am kind to her and she is kind to me. Isn't it supposed to be?" Chen Danniang continued, lifting the bow on her shoulder.
That's it.
Chen Ali was stunned for a moment, yes, that's it.
She couldn't help but smile.
"I like her, I want to be a person like her." Chen Danniang continued.
Hearing this, Chen Ali's smile narrowed and his heart was shocked.
It’s not the only one who wants to be a person like Cheng Niang, who is crazy now locked in the temple.
"Not everyone can do such a person as Dan Niangzi," she said with a moment of contemplation, "She got a famous teacher by chance and learned so many strange skills. This person is different from a human being, and cannot be compared..."
Before she finished speaking, Chen Danniang interrupted with a smile and reached out to hold Chen Ali's arm.
"Mother." She giggled, "You were wrong. I mean I want to be someone like Madam Cheng."
She emphasized her tone on herringbone.
"It's a person, not a name, not a skill."
"A person who is fearless and free as she is, and who is laughed and scolded by others who have heaven and earth in my heart."
Chen Ali stopped and looked at his daughter.
Chen Danniang stopped and was a little puzzled by her.
"I'm at your aunt's house." Chen Ali looked at her and smiled, reaching out to pat her arm that was afraid of her, "You go and practice arrows."
Chen Danniang then giggled around when she saw her around, waved her hand to her mother, turned around and strode.
Chen Ali looked at her back, her smile had not dissipated, and the worries in her eyes faded and replaced by Qingming.
Therefore, people are different from people, and the choices and gains are also different.
……………………………………….
With a buzzing sound, the long arrow hit the bull's eye and the feather tail trembled.
Chen Danniang raised her sleeve and wiped the sweat from her forehead, lowered the bow in her hand, and suddenly heard a sound from the dead grass under the forest by the roadside. She immediately pulled out a headless arrow and pulled the bow and shot it out again.
I didn't hear the dog barking, but someone shouted.
Chen Danniang was startled and ran to the side quickly, but saw a person looking up at the bottom of the slope.
This is a 12 or 13-year-old man wearing a brocade dress, a thick hat, a white face, long phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, and his hands were carrying pants, obviously...
The two sides shouted at each other.
Chen Danniang hurriedly turned around and ran away.
"Come, come, there is a female disciple!"
The hoarse screams of the young man at the foot of the mountain during the voice change period were heard, making people's ears buzzing.
"I thought it was the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village. It often hid and bit me while I practiced arrows..."
Chen Danniang did not run away, but waited in the open space, looking at the servants who were chasing after shouting, and explained with a blushing face.
"My arrow is headless and cannot hurt anyone."
"No, no, no, you are just peeking at me!" The young man standing behind the servant wrapped his cloak tightly and shouted.
Chen Danniang's face turned red.
"I didn't," she said, bent down and bowed. "I've hit the young master."
The servants looked at the little lady, wearing an old cloth jacket and plain skirt, and saw that she was dressed as a poor man in the village here, but her eyebrows and eyes were clever, and her behavior described her words and spoke with a great aura.
"Catch her and send him to the official position." The young man shouted.
Chen Danniang was a little helpless. She had heard that Dengtuzi had been sent to the officials by peeping at other people's female relatives, but she had never heard of a woman who was called Dengtuzi and sent to the officials.
The servants couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Send the official, send the official." They shouted, winking at Chen Danniang.
Chen Danniang understood and blushed and bowed again, turned around and ran away.
"Run away," the young man shouted.
