Chapter 56: Being Educated

Chen Danxia followed her mother and brother back to the small hall of the three-bedroom courtyard. The maids had already set up a table of food, most of which Chen Danxia liked to eat.

After purging his hands, the family of four sat down one after another. Tao took a chopstick dish and put it in Shen Danxia's bowl, and said with pain: "It's so hungry for my mother."

Shen Bomi also picked up a chopstick dish for Chen Danxia and said, "Sister, thank you for your hard work." Looking at the dishes on the table, it was very uncomfortable to not eat them.

"Sister, tomorrow you go over and greet the old lady, eat some snacks to make your stomach to suffice." Shen Baiyu suggested.

"I understand, mom, second brother, third brother, let's have a meal." Chen Danxia smiled.

After the family happily finished supper, after walking and chatting, Shen Bomi's brothers went back to the house to rest, and the servants served the Tao mother and daughter to wash and go to bed.

In the next few days, Tao took Chen Danxia to Xuanziyuan to pay tribute to Chen's mother according to etiquette, but Chen Dannian did not pay tribute to her legitimate mother. Tao remained silent and did not complain in front of Shen's mother. Chen Dannian felt that with Chen's mother there, she was worried about everything. Tao did not dare to do anything to her, and could not imagine what happened in the future. Chen's house was openly in a calm state. As for what to think and do in private, it has not been exposed yet, and it was quite a bit calm before the storm came.

After a few days of peace, Chen Danxia felt relieved. She had been worried that Master Cai would come to her to ask about Arabic numerals. Now it seems that Xu Lang has not offered her. Chen Danxia, ​​who has lost his worries, is really boring to stay at home, so under the instigation of the little girl Wufu, he started to have fun and fight time.

The fun Chen Danxia found was to beat a starling brother whose second uncle Chen Mushi was holding. Chen Mushi bought it and was planning to teach it to speak. But I don’t know if it was the wrong method of Chen Mushi teaching or the starling brother who couldn’t speak at all. After two or three years, this starling brother still only screamed, making Chen Mushi very angry. However, Chen Mushi was a bird lover after all, and did not discard or kill it. He kept it in a remote yard without tying a chain and let it move freely, but the starling brother did not fly away, stayed honestly on the bird stand, occasionally flying around the house.

Chen Danxia took her slingshot and silver bullets and went to shoot birds with great courage. Then he was despised by the birds and said in a strange way: "Blind, blind, can't hit me." "Aim, idiot." "Where can't shoot? I'm here."

Chen Danxia was angry. She had to hit the damn bird, and each person and one bird just got on. Chen Mushi disagreed with Chen Danxia coming to kill the bird, but was persuaded by Zhou.

Zhou put a silver bullet in front of him and said, "The third room is really rich. Look, what is Jiuya using for the marble?"

"Is this silver?" Chen Mushi asked suspiciously.

"It weighs one ounce." Zhou took off the purse on his waist and poured out a few more. "I have picked up seven or eight of the birds these days. You have long left the birds alone and let Jiuya play with them. We can pick up silver. How cost-effective it is. Don't stop Jiuya. If you can't pick up silver bullets, don't think I'll give you silver and let you buy bird food."

"What do you mean? Are you asking me to pick up these silver bullets in the future and save them to buy bird food?" Chen Mushi asked unhappily.

"I didn't let the master pick it up, so I'll arrange for the maid to pick it up. After a month, there will be at least three or four taels of silver, which is enough for the master to buy bird food." Zhou was opposed to Chen Mushi's raising birds, but he couldn't resist him and could only let him go.

Chen Mushi stared at her, said nothing, and got up and left. He knew what happened in his room, but he was just a useless person. Anyway, he had my mother here and he would not be able to separate the family. He just lived by relying on his brothers and would not starve him to death.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and asked his confidant mother to warn his daughters not to stop Chen Danxia. She didn't know that the reason why the maid next to Chen Danxia did not pick up all the silver bullets was that Tao deliberately arranged it to block Zhou's mouth with silver.

A few taels of silver, the Tao family, who was rich and powerful, was nothing, but it made Lin, who was also short of silver, very dissatisfied. Why can the second wife pick up silver for no reason? Lin was unwilling to let this go, so he wanted to prevent Chen Danxia from killing birds. Lin thought for two or three days, and finally made her think of a way.

That afternoon, Chen Danxia took a nap and went to hunt birds surrounded by the old lady and the maid. He didn't hit him, but he was holding a silver bullet and aiming at the starling bird on the shelf. Suddenly someone shouted, "Stop."

Chen Danxia was frightened, his hands trembled, and the silver bullet shot out into the sky. Mrs. Lu frowned and looked closely. He called out a young man who was thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a round-necked robe in a navy blue satin.

"Who are you? He screamed and scared my girl, you can't afford to take it." Mrs. Lu scolded unhappily.

The young man snorted coldly and said, "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you, no, don't do to birds."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Lu couldn't understand his erotic words.

Chen Danxia understood, this man came to defend the bird, "Mom Lu, don't interrupt him, let him say."

"Just say it, the road is uneven and everyone steps on it. I just shouted and scared you. Then, you keep shooting birds with a slingshot. Have you never thought that it would scare the birds? The sky is high and the birds should fly freely, but it is trapped on the bird stand. It is already pitiful enough. You don't pity it, and you hit it with a marble every day to scare it, leaving it in panic. You didn't see that it didn't even dare to fall because of the fright. It flew in the air all day long. Are the feathers on its body falling? Why are you so cruel to do things at a young age?" The young man asked righteously.

"Yes, yes, you're right. I shouldn't have come to shoot birds. I'll accept your opinion." Chen Danxia left the slingshot at his waist, "Mom Lu, Sister Hujiao, let's go back."

The little master said this, and the lady Lu and others had to leave with Chen Danxia, ​​but were dissatisfied with the boy who disturbed the little master's interest and glared at him angrily.

The boy didn't care about their angry eyes. Seeing Chen Danxia's advice to leave, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's great to know that he can improve his mistakes." But the boy was satisfied, but Zhou was not satisfied.

Zhou knew that Chen Danxia hadn't come to kill birds for two days, so he sent his confidant to investigate the reason. Although she was not at home now, it was easy to investigate this matter. When he learned that the person who stopped Chen Danxia from killing birds was Zhao Shifei, who lived in the Shen family, and he was immediately in distress.

"Madam, Master Chou is dedicated to reading sages, rarely enters the inner courtyard, and rarely medds nostalgic business. How could he take care of this matter this time?" Zhou's confidant Wu Xin's family, who has received benefits from the eldest sister of Zhou, was afraid that Zhou would blame Sister Zhou and Zhao Shifei for this matter, so he helped resolve it.
