Zhang Kaiwen and others tried to test Cai Junze, but naturally, they gained nothing.
In the end, I had to leave in disappointment.
"What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"
Seeing him come back, Liu Shulin asked.
She heard some of their conversation outside.
"An old classmate of mine was beaten up, and they suspected I was responsible, so they came to me to argue," Cai Junze explained nonchalantly. "Unfortunately, I wasn't the one who beat him up, so their coming to me was pointless, and it only added to the war of words."
Liu Shulin looked at him deeply and asked, "Is it really none of your business?"
Cai Junze put on an innocent expression and said, "It really has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Shulin's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't delve into it.
Cai Junze continued to recite the eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching...
In this way, a few days passed like flowing water.
Nothing happened.
Lufang Village.
Yuan family.
The Yan family, who had originally agreed to formally propose marriage to the Yuan family in the next few days, had not made any move. Seeing that the date had passed, the Yuan family couldn't help but feel worried.
Could something have happened?
"Mom, could it be that Mr. Yan suddenly changed his mind and doesn't want to marry me anymore?" Yuan Xiao'e couldn't help but worry.
"No, that's not the case. We had already agreed on it. Something must have happened, so they postponed the date." Yuan's mother comforted her daughter.
"But if they really want to postpone it, they should have come and informed us!" Yuan Xiao'e said, "If they didn't say anything, they really don't take our marriage seriously, do they?"
For her, this kind of thing is very important!
As a result, the Yan family not only did not come to propose marriage on the agreed date, but also did not send anyone to explain to them. Doesn’t this show that they don’t take them seriously?
The thought of this made her unhappy.
"Old man, go to the Yan Mansion and ask what's going on!" Yuan's mother comforted her daughter, then turned around and instructed Yuan's father to go to the Yan Mansion to ask.
Yuan's father said yes, and since it was still early, he hurried to the county town.
County seat, Yanfu.
Yan Baisheng has been lying in bed for ten days, and the bandages are still on his body, and he can't get out of bed.
Thinking about how he had been beaten and not being able to find out who had done it, anger surged in his heart like waves.
"Master, someone from the Yuan family came to ask about the marriage proposal..."
A servant came in from outside and spoke cautiously.
After hearing what the servant said, Yan Baisheng remembered that the day he had agreed to go to the Yuan family to propose marriage had passed. He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, I actually forgot about this!"
He did forget.
After a pause, he said, "Go over and tell him that I recently went hiking and accidentally fell. My injury hasn't healed yet, so I have difficulty moving. So, this matter can be postponed for a while and we can discuss it on another day."
He gave a few more instructions.
The servant replied "yes" and went downstairs to pass on the message.
When Yuan's father got the news, he immediately returned.
"What? Master Yan fell and got hurt?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xiao'e became worried.
"Yes, he said he went hiking and accidentally fell. It seems that he was seriously injured and needs to rest in the near future. Therefore, the proposal of marriage will have to be postponed for a while." said Yuan's father.
Yuan Xiao'e's eyes flashed, and she looked at her mother and said, "Mom, you said, he fell and was injured. Should I go visit him?"
Mother Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's best not to go. As a girl, if you go to visit the Yan family, their parents will think you don't know the rules."
He added, "We don't usually talk about these things in the countryside, but in the city, there are many rules."
Yuan Xiao'e really wanted to go. After all, this would help enhance their relationship!
Mr. Yan would definitely be very happy if he saw her coming to visit him, right?
But after listening to her mother's words, she felt that it made sense.
The countryside is different from the city!
In the past, she went to Cai's house every day and no one said anything.
However, if she ran to the Yan Mansion like this, Master Yan's parents might be unhappy.
There are so many rules in wealthy families.
…
“Thirty spokes share one hub, and it is in the empty space that the cart is useful…Thus, what is there is profit, and what is not there is use.” Cai Junze recited Chapter 11 of the Tao Te Ching over and over again.
He is still reciting at the rate of one chapter every two days.
This speed is suitable for him.
On the first day, I almost memorized it.
The next day, memorize it completely.
Moreover, once you memorize it, you will basically never forget it.
Liu Shulin would occasionally check the chapters he had memorized before to see if he still remembered them.
Fortunately, he withstood the test, but he still stuttered a little when reciting. After all, it had been a long time since then, and his memory had become a little loose.
"You still have to review these memorized chapters when you have free time," Liu Shulin reminded him. "There's a saying in The Analects of Confucius: 'Reviewing the old will lead to new things.'"
When she has free time, she would take out her son's books and read them casually.
Then she found that reading when she had nothing to do was also good.
Because there are indeed many things in the book that can broaden one's horizons.
Moreover, it also helps people think!
Cai Junze was also surprised to find that his mother seemed to have fallen in love with reading recently.
Reading by yourself is oppressive!
Why does my mother read books?
Wupo Village.
Niu family.
After what happened a few days ago, the relationship between Lu Qingyan and Niu Li became a little tense.
Niu Li frequently showed displeasure to Lu Qingyan, which made Lu Qingyan very unhappy.
Because of money problems, her status in this family has been declining.
