Chapter 148 Losing one’s ambition by playing with things?
After the introductions, Wen Jing felt her head buzzing.
There were too many people. The adults were okay, at least some of their characteristics could be remembered. But the children were in groups and looked very similar. Their names were given according to their generation.
Even Fang Yanxin got stuck when introducing them. Once he said the wrong name, the second wife, Li, would make sarcastic remarks and not give him any face at all.
"You haven't seen him for half a year, and you, as an uncle, don't even remember your nephew's name."
Aunt Chen from the third room agreed, "I see, he studies so hard every day that he has become a bookworm."
The fourth concubine Mei retorted, "Oh, sister, children change every day. You just recognized the wrong Yong'er and Yun'er. Don't bother with the younger generation."
Aunt Li was humiliated and looked very unhappy. "How dare I complain? It's hard for Yong'er to think about learning from his fifth uncle every day."
The three old ladies started arguing with each other in a sarcastic tone over Yong'er's determination to study, which led to the other middle-aged women also starting to flatter him and say nice things to him.
The yard was filled with the same chirping noise as before.
Fang Yanxin didn't say anything, just lowered his head and listened to the lecture obediently.
Wen Jing stood aside and looked at Yong'er who was supposedly wanting to learn from Fang Yanxin. How could a two-year-old child who could barely speak be so eager to study?
These women, whether old or young, are all masters of yin and yang. The tone of their words is so tense that I suddenly feel that the group of old men outside are much kinder.
The old lady looked like she was watching a show. She just watched them quarreling without saying anything to intervene, and occasionally glanced at Xu Ye.
Xu Ye also noticed the old lady's gaze and looked puzzled.
I kept wondering why this old woman kept looking at me?
My mind was opened up for a moment.
Could it be that this old woman is looking for a husband for her granddaughter?
Huh....
These women in the Fang family are just like the spider spirit in Journey to the West. They should get lost as far away as possible. My sister is the best.
After a while, this heated argument came to an end.
As expected of her opera singing family, Aunt Mei has a very eloquent tongue and can easily take on this group of people alone.
Aunt Li was so angry that she was determined to get revenge.
The modern girl glanced at Wen Jing with ill intent, then lowered her body and whispered something in Aunt Li's ear.
Aunt Li coughed lightly, and the sixth aunt was very perceptive. She immediately came forward and took Wen Jing's wrist intimately, looking at her constantly, "Oh, I've always heard from Fourth Aunt that you are beautiful. When I saw you today, you are really beautiful. No wonder Xiao Xin likes you."
[Yo, the war has shifted to you]
Wen Jing's expression moved slightly.
Sure enough, the next moment Aunt Li spoke up, "I heard that you are a widow?"
Wen Jing said calmly, "What Grandma Li heard is correct. I am indeed a widow."
Aunt Li's mouth corners slightly lowered, with a look of disgust, "I heard that Yan Xin ignored his studies for you and studied how to make delicious food for you every day."
Aunt Chen agreed, "If this isn't just wasting time, what is it?"
These words were just short of engraving the label of vixen and beautiful woman who brings disaster on Wen Jing's forehead.
Wen Jing immediately looked aggrieved and pitiful, and said in a gentle voice, "Grandma Chen, Senior Fang is not obsessed with playing around. The study pressure in the second year of high school is very high, and cooking is a good way for him to relieve stress."
Xu Ye united the front, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "Grandma Li, please don't say anything careless. Senior Fang Yanxin didn't just cook for Wen Jing. He cooked delicious food and shared it with us, the students who got along well with him."
"As for neglecting studies for the sake of cooking, that's not the case. Senior Fang Yanxin scored 723 points in the final exam, ranking first in the second grade, and Senior Bai Fei ranked second. I'm the first in the first grade, and classmate Xiong Moli is in the top , and classmate Wen Jing is in the top in science. It's okay for us to play together, right?"
His words were particularly arrogant, causing many people to look at him.
The young man was dressed in a proper youth outfit, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, had a handsome face, and a rare scholarly temperament.
But his expression was particularly unruly, and there was an inexplicable ruffian vibe to it.
The eyes of the girls present lit up.
They had noticed Xu Ye a long time ago.
When I heard that he was so outstanding, I liked him even more and secretly thought that I would ask someone to inquire about him after the banquet.
Aunt Mei looked at the modern girl next to Aunt Li and said sarcastically, "Wanzhen, you have to learn from your brothers. You have only half a year left before the college entrance examination, so you have to work harder."
There were many people watching the fun, and many of them looked at Fang Wanzhen with joking eyes.
Fang Wanzhen was so angry that her back teeth were almost broken. She wanted to just leave, but she didn't dare to, so she just turned her face away.
Xu Ye turned his head and looked at Fang Yanxin again, looking like a good friend, "Didn't you say that Bai Fei would also come today? Where is he?"
Fang Yanxin was a little surprised that Xu Ye would speak for him like this.
Xu Ye raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Since I said so, you have to make more delicious food to honor your father."
understand?
Fang Yanxin lowered her head and smiled, "He will be here soon. I made some braised pork ribs. He will definitely come when he smells the aroma."
The atmosphere instantly eased a lot.
Aunt Li had a gloomy face, the wrinkles on her face became deeper, and she looked a little scary.
Xu Ye is an outsider. To be able to achieve such good results, it must be that his family has some background to cultivate him. She doesn't know what the background is for the time being, so she can't offend him right away.
She still aimed her fire at Wen Jing, "There are so many ways to relieve stress. The six arts of calligraphy, painting, chess and music can all relieve stress. Our Fang family is a family of scholars. As the saying goes, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Yan Xin is so outstanding. He will definitely do great things in the future. How can you let him do such a thing?"
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment. This is how a goddamn gentleman uses a kitchen.
But she couldn't quite respond like that.
Fang Yanxin seemed to have a telepathic connection with her, standing in front of Wen Jing to block her, "Second Madam, the saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen comes from the Book of Rites: Jade Ornaments. A gentleman, when seeing animals alive, cannot bear to see them die, and when hearing their cries, cannot bear to eat their meat. That is why a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen."
"This sentence means that a gentleman should stay away from things involving blood and killing. 'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen' means here that a gentleman has a kind heart and cannot bear to see things involving killing, so he stays away from the kitchen. It does not mean that a gentleman should not enter the kitchen or be ashamed of cooking."
