自从赵立夏他们投入左穆门下之后,生活似乎没什么改变,却又似乎改变了很多。[四^库*书*小说网siksh]这种改变是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">心理上,一时间很难说出那其中滋味。若说当初跟着左柳一门心思读书,终考上了三个秀才两个童生是意外之喜话,那如今他们,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">投入左大名士门下之后,因众<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">夸奖而浮躁起来心也渐渐沉静下来了。
<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">生总是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">明白多道理之后,才会发觉自己还有多无知,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">左穆门下,孩子们仿佛看到了一个广阔无边天地,不只是学识,还有名声、地位,比起那些或金榜题名或名扬天下师兄们,他们所取得成绩是何等微不足道,他们所拥有资质是何等寻常。
<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">明白自己狭隘眼界之后,孩子们并没有沮丧自卑,而是选择了奋发图强,这让左穆很是满意,也让方怡暗自松了口气,名师不是那么好拜,名校不是那么好读,名气越大,所要承受压力也就越大,相对需要付出努力艰辛也多。这世上从来就没有什么是生来就有,即便是生<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">帝王家,也有他们不足为外<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">道艰难。
除夕脚步一天天临近了,逸仙居生意又爆满到一个高度,事实上,从左穆要收赵立年和方辰为徒消息传出去之后,他们店生意就没再差过,名气那是越来越大,有慕名而来,有想要跟赵立夏他们结交,还有,是单纯欣赏这些孩子,方怡每天数钱数地乐呵呵,管他们是为了什么来呢,能让她赚多钱才是王道!
左穆教导方式和左柳大有不同,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">初这半个月里,他每日都拿了书籍让几个读,每个<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">读都不一样,然后再询问他们有何感悟,几个小摸不着头脑,只当是左穆<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">考他们学识,心里头紧张很,头几天时候答得乱七八糟,什么都有,后来见左穆并没有责怪意思,当真就只是让他们读书然后说说感悟,这才认真地静下心去读,倒也颇有所感。
上午时候读书,下午依然是礼仪教导,负责指导他们换成了总管大<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,左柳每日也都会来一趟,陪他们说会儿话,再顺便指导几句。眼下年关将近,左府里客<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">络绎不绝,往年这时候左柳都是避而不见,如今心结已解,当然少不得要扛起左府大少爷责任,帮着接待客<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">。
过年礼节是方怡准备,一早就给各家都送了去,剩下是村里那几户,打算等小年过后他们再回去送。关于今年具体<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">哪儿过年事儿,方怡跟赵立夏商量了好几次了,若要他们说,那自然是想留<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">城里过年,一来城里头事儿少,安静,过年嘛,只要一家子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">热热闹闹<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">一起就够了,再说了,唯一跟他们走亲近杨婶儿他们一家子如今也<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">城里呢!捕大哥是个实诚<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,虽然豆腐坊事儿还没弄出个接过来,但是却一早就把杨叔杨婶儿他们接过来了,准备就<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">城里过年了。
赵立夏却不太赞同,他们今年才考上秀才童生,若是过年不回去,恐怕要落<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">口实,说他们一发迹就不认识<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">了!这可不行,还是得回去,何况,父母祖坟也要去祭拜一番,今年发生了这么多事,怎么能不告诉他们一声呢?
听到这话,方怡也默默点了头,确实应该回乡。
从小年过后,左穆就停了赵立夏他们课,让他们回家好好过年,第二天,逸仙居就关了门,一家<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">欢欢喜喜地回家去了。到了赵家村儿时候,照例有几个小孩儿一边<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">路边玩耍一边等着他们,看到他们来,立刻高兴地围了上来,立夏哥立夏哥叫可甜了,不多时又有村里<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">特意赶过来,欢迎他们回村,坐<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">马车里,方怡恍然有种衣锦还乡感觉。
家里头照例又热闹了两天,不过因为刘三娘提前了两天回来,所以屋里头该准备东西都准备好了,炒花生红薯干之类小零嘴儿也都少不了,这会儿直接就能拿出来招待客<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">们了。
赵立夏一回来就带着赵立秋和方辰去给里正送了礼节,然后又挨个儿将族里几位老<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">家里都拜访了一圈儿,后还去了一趟老赵家,赵老爷子病情已经稳定了,只是心神却已经伤了,整个<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">迷迷糊糊,时常连<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">都记不得了,说话颠三倒四,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">方怡看来,这就是患了阿尔茨海默病,俗称老年痴呆症!
对于赵老爷子下场,众<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">也说不出什么话来,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">如今已经变成这样了,就算当初做了再大错事,也都过去了。赵家老二老三他们几个对赵老爷子还算是孝顺,一日两顿照顾很好,看屋子收拾也还干净。不过,方怡却明白,赵老爷子之所以有这样待遇,完全就是因为赵立夏,赵三牛那个精明小媳妇儿还指望着利用赵老爷子来博取赵立夏同情心,自然不会怠慢了赵老爷子。
赵三牛小媳妇儿是个聪明,只可惜她如意算盘敲错了对象,且不说赵立夏不会因为同情赵老爷子而再度跟老赵家扯上关系,就算赵立夏肯,方怡也不会允许,如今他们一家子好不容易才攀上了一颗通天大树,她是绝对不会允许任何不稳定因素靠近。老赵家那一群<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,连同这赵家村儿,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">方怡看来都是不稳定因素,必须要小心对待。
晚上躺<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">炕头上,方怡忍不住又叮嘱赵立夏凡事要多考虑一下再开口,别随便就应承了什么,本是无意中叮嘱,却让赵立夏叹了口气:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">今儿去老族长家里,他有心想要让<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">村里开间小私塾,教导咱们村里孩子,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">婉言推辞了。”
“不是吧!<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们才多大啊,就让<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们开私塾教学生了?也不怕误<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">子弟。<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">当时有明确拒绝吧?”
赵立夏无奈地笑了笑:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">把先生搬出来了,虽然话没说死,但是看里正和族长大<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">神情,似乎是死了心了。其实,就算开私塾也不算误<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">子弟,考上秀才本就可以当先生教<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">读书识字了。<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">也不瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">,之前刚放榜时候,赵立秋还与<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">商量过收几个孩童来教事儿,说是能赚些束脩钱补贴家用,不过后来发生了那么多事,这事儿也就不了了之了。”
方怡道:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">这还叫不瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">呢?”
赵立夏一瞧不对,立刻露出讨好地神情:“媳妇,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">知道错了,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">这不是想着回头再说么,结果一不小心就忘了跟<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">说了,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">真不是有意欺瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">。”
方怡哼了一声:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">好不要欺瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">!”
赵立夏抱紧方怡,凑过去亲了亲她脸:“媳妇,等过几天,立秋就十六了,该盘算着给他说门亲事了,这事儿<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">不太懂,还要劳烦<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">多看看了。”
一说这事儿,方怡之前还真想过不止一两次,古代十六岁已经不算小了,就算不成亲也该定亲了,之前他们就盘算着等童生试之后再来说亲,如今童生试都过去好几个月了,也该为赵立秋打算了。
“这事儿<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">之前跟白叔提过,他说托了朋友四处物色呢,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">想过了,咱们家如今虽然说着体面,但到底出身低了些,家境也只是一般般,都说嫁高娶低,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">想还是找个性子好姑娘给立秋比较好,那些家世好,咱们就不高攀了吧,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">怕回头立秋受气。”
赵立夏道:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">也是这般盘算,找一家性子忠厚些,女儿家性格好就是了。”
方怡笑道:“光说性子,这模样也不能差太多了去,咱们立秋多讨喜?怎么着也不能娶个比他还不如吧?好歹如今<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们也都是左大名士门下学生,立秋又是个秀才,好咱们攀不起,寻常百姓<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">家儿还不是由得<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们挑?”
赵立夏心里暗笑方怡前后不一,却也明白她这是护短,当下笑道:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">是长嫂,这事儿当然是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">来做主。”
方怡道:“哪里能全凭<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">做主?顶多就是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">把第一道关,等<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">看入了眼,再让<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们看,若到时候<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">和立秋都没意见,那就再定下,若是不满意,咱们就再找,怎么说也是立秋娶妻,是要陪他过一辈子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,哪里能马虎了?”
“全听媳妇儿!”
……
方怡本以为这个年会过很忙碌,定然会有许多媒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">上门,来给赵立秋说亲,须知去年那会儿,他们还都没考童生试呢,就有不少<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">来了,如今赵立秋这么出息了,那来<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">定然多。可就当方怡做足了心理准备,打算跟媒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">们来场旷日持久抗拒战时候,这上门<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">居然没一个是提婚事,哪怕连含沙射影都没有,这让方怡十分纳闷儿。
刘三娘知道方怡心思,笑道:“立秋如今见到官老爷都不用下跪了,是体面<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">了,她们哪里敢随便上门来说亲,那不是自找没趣儿么?”
方怡这才恍然,她怎么就没想到呢!这些村妇就算再无知,心里也是明白这考取了功名<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">跟他们是不一样。这一刻,方怡再度体会到了读书<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">地位之高。
这个年是方怡近三十年<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">生里过热闹一个年,整个正月家里头都热闹闹,大<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">小孩儿络绎不绝,方怡笑脸迎<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,一点儿架子都没有,跟谁都和和气气,让村里<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">愈发地念她好来。
等到正月初十时候,赵立夏正跟方怡商量回城日子,正<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">厨房里准备吃食刘三娘突然呕吐起来,一连吐了好久,好似连胃里酸水都吐出来了一般,可把一屋子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">吓得不轻,赵立夏当即就让赵立秋去套了马车,准备去城里请大夫瞧瞧。
王满仓却死活不让,夫妻两吞吞吐吐半天,才终于说出缘由,原来刘三娘是害喜了。听到这个喜讯,一屋子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">高兴地都要一蹦三尺高,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">经历了那场天灾<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">祸父母双亡之后,他们家终于又要添丁了!
赵立夏他们毫不掩饰愉悦之情安抚了王满仓和刘三娘心,之前他们一度想过要打掉这个孩子,毕竟这一屋子孩子前途才刚刚开始,他们若是这会儿要了孩子,会给他们增添许多不必要麻烦。就算这些孩子们不说什么,他们也会觉得内疚。可是他们又真很想要这个孩子,毕竟他们已经二十好几了,之前孩子都去了,他们也想要个属于自己孩子啊!眼下看到这些孩子们高兴模样,他们心里是说不出欢喜和感动,只恨不得一辈子连同下辈子都帮着这些好心孩子们做牛做马来报答。
赵立夏他们可不知道这夫妻两纠结心思,正高兴着家里又能多个小宝宝了,其中赵立年和方辰是担忧:“大哥,咱们还是带王嫂子一起去城里请大夫看看吧,刚刚吐得那么凶,一定是宝宝<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">肚子里难受了!”
身为老大赵立夏可见识过好几次怀孕生产事了,这会儿一派镇定:“这孕吐是正常现象,不用去看大夫。”
方怡按住刘三娘想要起身念头:“嫂子,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">就躺着歇会儿,想吃什么管说,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">去给<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">做。从今儿起,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">就别进厨房了,里头又是鱼又是肉,味道不好,回头又该惹得<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">想吐了。”
刘三娘满脸感激之色:“这算什么,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">怀第一胎时候,还天天下地干活儿呢!”
“那是以前,做不得数,现<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68"><ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68"><ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们家,就要听<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们,只管乖乖歇着就是,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">去给<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">做吃。”
一屋子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">围着刘三娘转了一天,直到天黑了才消停,夜里时候,赵立夏抱着方怡蹭了蹭:“媳妇儿,王嫂子怀孕了,咱家又能添<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">口了,可真好。”
方怡笑道:“以后会越来越多。”
赵立夏磨蹭了半天,终于将憋了许久话问了出来:“媳妇儿,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">什么时候给<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">生个娃儿
作者有话要说:又来晚了·····
pp!!
自从赵立夏他们投入左穆门下之后,生活似乎没什么改变,却又似乎改变了很多。[四^库*书*小说网siksh]这种改变是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">心理上,一时间很难说出那其中滋味。若说当初跟着左柳一门心思读书,终考上了三个秀才两个童生是意外之喜话,那如今他们,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">投入左大名士门下之后,因众<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">夸奖而浮躁起来心也渐渐沉静下来了。
<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">生总是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">明白多道理之后,才会发觉自己还有多无知,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">左穆门下,孩子们仿佛看到了一个广阔无边天地,不只是学识,还有名声、地位,比起那些或金榜题名或名扬天下师兄们,他们所取得成绩是何等微不足道,他们所拥有资质是何等寻常。
<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">明白自己狭隘眼界之后,孩子们并没有沮丧自卑,而是选择了奋发图强,这让左穆很是满意,也让方怡暗自松了口气,名师不是那么好拜,名校不是那么好读,名气越大,所要承受压力也就越大,相对需要付出努力艰辛也多。这世上从来就没有什么是生来就有,即便是生<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">帝王家,也有他们不足为外<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">道艰难。
除夕脚步一天天临近了,逸仙居生意又爆满到一个高度,事实上,从左穆要收赵立年和方辰为徒消息传出去之后,他们店生意就没再差过,名气那是越来越大,有慕名而来,有想要跟赵立夏他们结交,还有,是单纯欣赏这些孩子,方怡每天数钱数地乐呵呵,管他们是为了什么来呢,能让她赚多钱才是王道!
左穆教导方式和左柳大有不同,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">初这半个月里,他每日都拿了书籍让几个读,每个<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">读都不一样,然后再询问他们有何感悟,几个小摸不着头脑,只当是左穆<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">考他们学识,心里头紧张很,头几天时候答得乱七八糟,什么都有,后来见左穆并没有责怪意思,当真就只是让他们读书然后说说感悟,这才认真地静下心去读,倒也颇有所感。
上午时候读书,下午依然是礼仪教导,负责指导他们换成了总管大<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,左柳每日也都会来一趟,陪他们说会儿话,再顺便指导几句。眼下年关将近,左府里客<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">络绎不绝,往年这时候左柳都是避而不见,如今心结已解,当然少不得要扛起左府大少爷责任,帮着接待客<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">。
过年礼节是方怡准备,一早就给各家都送了去,剩下是村里那几户,打算等小年过后他们再回去送。关于今年具体<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">哪儿过年事儿,方怡跟赵立夏商量了好几次了,若要他们说,那自然是想留<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">城里过年,一来城里头事儿少,安静,过年嘛,只要一家子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">热热闹闹<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">一起就够了,再说了,唯一跟他们走亲近杨婶儿他们一家子如今也<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">城里呢!捕大哥是个实诚<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,虽然豆腐坊事儿还没弄出个接过来,但是却一早就把杨叔杨婶儿他们接过来了,准备就<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">城里过年了。
赵立夏却不太赞同,他们今年才考上秀才童生,若是过年不回去,恐怕要落<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">口实,说他们一发迹就不认识<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">了!这可不行,还是得回去,何况,父母祖坟也要去祭拜一番,今年发生了这么多事,怎么能不告诉他们一声呢?
听到这话,方怡也默默点了头,确实应该回乡。
从小年过后,左穆就停了赵立夏他们课,让他们回家好好过年,第二天,逸仙居就关了门,一家<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">欢欢喜喜地回家去了。到了赵家村儿时候,照例有几个小孩儿一边<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">路边玩耍一边等着他们,看到他们来,立刻高兴地围了上来,立夏哥立夏哥叫可甜了,不多时又有村里<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">特意赶过来,欢迎他们回村,坐<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">马车里,方怡恍然有种衣锦还乡感觉。
家里头照例又热闹了两天,不过因为刘三娘提前了两天回来,所以屋里头该准备东西都准备好了,炒花生红薯干之类小零嘴儿也都少不了,这会儿直接就能拿出来招待客<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">们了。
赵立夏一回来就带着赵立秋和方辰去给里正送了礼节,然后又挨个儿将族里几位老<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">家里都拜访了一圈儿,后还去了一趟老赵家,赵老爷子病情已经稳定了,只是心神却已经伤了,整个<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">迷迷糊糊,时常连<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">都记不得了,说话颠三倒四,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">方怡看来,这就是患了阿尔茨海默病,俗称老年痴呆症!
对于赵老爷子下场,众<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">也说不出什么话来,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">如今已经变成这样了,就算当初做了再大错事,也都过去了。赵家老二老三他们几个对赵老爷子还算是孝顺,一日两顿照顾很好,看屋子收拾也还干净。不过,方怡却明白,赵老爷子之所以有这样待遇,完全就是因为赵立夏,赵三牛那个精明小媳妇儿还指望着利用赵老爷子来博取赵立夏同情心,自然不会怠慢了赵老爷子。
赵三牛小媳妇儿是个聪明,只可惜她如意算盘敲错了对象,且不说赵立夏不会因为同情赵老爷子而再度跟老赵家扯上关系,就算赵立夏肯,方怡也不会允许,如今他们一家子好不容易才攀上了一颗通天大树,她是绝对不会允许任何不稳定因素靠近。老赵家那一群<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,连同这赵家村儿,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">方怡看来都是不稳定因素,必须要小心对待。
晚上躺<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">炕头上,方怡忍不住又叮嘱赵立夏凡事要多考虑一下再开口,别随便就应承了什么,本是无意中叮嘱,却让赵立夏叹了口气:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">今儿去老族长家里,他有心想要让<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">村里开间小私塾,教导咱们村里孩子,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">婉言推辞了。”
“不是吧!<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们才多大啊,就让<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们开私塾教学生了?也不怕误<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">子弟。<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">当时有明确拒绝吧?”
赵立夏无奈地笑了笑:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">把先生搬出来了,虽然话没说死,但是看里正和族长大<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">神情,似乎是死了心了。其实,就算开私塾也不算误<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">子弟,考上秀才本就可以当先生教<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">读书识字了。<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">也不瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">,之前刚放榜时候,赵立秋还与<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">商量过收几个孩童来教事儿,说是能赚些束脩钱补贴家用,不过后来发生了那么多事,这事儿也就不了了之了。”
方怡道:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">这还叫不瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">呢?”
赵立夏一瞧不对,立刻露出讨好地神情:“媳妇,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">知道错了,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">这不是想着回头再说么,结果一不小心就忘了跟<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">说了,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">真不是有意欺瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">。”
方怡哼了一声:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">好不要欺瞒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">!”
赵立夏抱紧方怡,凑过去亲了亲她脸:“媳妇,等过几天,立秋就十六了,该盘算着给他说门亲事了,这事儿<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">不太懂,还要劳烦<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">多看看了。”
一说这事儿,方怡之前还真想过不止一两次,古代十六岁已经不算小了,就算不成亲也该定亲了,之前他们就盘算着等童生试之后再来说亲,如今童生试都过去好几个月了,也该为赵立秋打算了。
“这事儿<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">之前跟白叔提过,他说托了朋友四处物色呢,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">想过了,咱们家如今虽然说着体面,但到底出身低了些,家境也只是一般般,都说嫁高娶低,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">想还是找个性子好姑娘给立秋比较好,那些家世好,咱们就不高攀了吧,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">怕回头立秋受气。”
赵立夏道:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">也是这般盘算,找一家性子忠厚些,女儿家性格好就是了。”
方怡笑道:“光说性子,这模样也不能差太多了去,咱们立秋多讨喜?怎么着也不能娶个比他还不如吧?好歹如今<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们也都是左大名士门下学生,立秋又是个秀才,好咱们攀不起,寻常百姓<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">家儿还不是由得<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们挑?”
赵立夏心里暗笑方怡前后不一,却也明白她这是护短,当下笑道:“<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">是长嫂,这事儿当然是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">来做主。”
方怡道:“哪里能全凭<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">做主?顶多就是<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">把第一道关,等<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">看入了眼,再让<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们看,若到时候<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">和立秋都没意见,那就再定下,若是不满意,咱们就再找,怎么说也是立秋娶妻,是要陪他过一辈子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,哪里能马虎了?”
“全听媳妇儿!”
……
方怡本以为这个年会过很忙碌,定然会有许多媒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">上门,来给赵立秋说亲,须知去年那会儿,他们还都没考童生试呢,就有不少<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">来了,如今赵立秋这么出息了,那来<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">定然多。可就当方怡做足了心理准备,打算跟媒<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">们来场旷日持久抗拒战时候,这上门<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">居然没一个是提婚事,哪怕连含沙射影都没有,这让方怡十分纳闷儿。
刘三娘知道方怡心思,笑道:“立秋如今见到官老爷都不用下跪了,是体面<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">了,她们哪里敢随便上门来说亲,那不是自找没趣儿么?”
方怡这才恍然,她怎么就没想到呢!这些村妇就算再无知,心里也是明白这考取了功名<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">跟他们是不一样。这一刻,方怡再度体会到了读书<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">地位之高。
这个年是方怡近三十年<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">生里过热闹一个年,整个正月家里头都热闹闹,大<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">小孩儿络绎不绝,方怡笑脸迎<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">,一点儿架子都没有,跟谁都和和气气,让村里<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">愈发地念她好来。
等到正月初十时候,赵立夏正跟方怡商量回城日子,正<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">厨房里准备吃食刘三娘突然呕吐起来,一连吐了好久,好似连胃里酸水都吐出来了一般,可把一屋子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">吓得不轻,赵立夏当即就让赵立秋去套了马车,准备去城里请大夫瞧瞧。
王满仓却死活不让,夫妻两吞吞吐吐半天,才终于说出缘由,原来刘三娘是害喜了。听到这个喜讯,一屋子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">高兴地都要一蹦三尺高,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">经历了那场天灾<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">祸父母双亡之后,他们家终于又要添丁了!
赵立夏他们毫不掩饰愉悦之情安抚了王满仓和刘三娘心,之前他们一度想过要打掉这个孩子,毕竟这一屋子孩子前途才刚刚开始,他们若是这会儿要了孩子,会给他们增添许多不必要麻烦。就算这些孩子们不说什么,他们也会觉得内疚。可是他们又真很想要这个孩子,毕竟他们已经二十好几了,之前孩子都去了,他们也想要个属于自己孩子啊!眼下看到这些孩子们高兴模样,他们心里是说不出欢喜和感动,只恨不得一辈子连同下辈子都帮着这些好心孩子们做牛做马来报答。
赵立夏他们可不知道这夫妻两纠结心思,正高兴着家里又能多个小宝宝了,其中赵立年和方辰是担忧:“大哥,咱们还是带王嫂子一起去城里请大夫看看吧,刚刚吐得那么凶,一定是宝宝<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68">肚子里难受了!”
身为老大赵立夏可见识过好几次怀孕生产事了,这会儿一派镇定:“这孕吐是正常现象,不用去看大夫。”
方怡按住刘三娘想要起身念头:“嫂子,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">就躺着歇会儿,想吃什么管说,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">去给<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">做。从今儿起,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">就别进厨房了,里头又是鱼又是肉,味道不好,回头又该惹得<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">想吐了。”
刘三娘满脸感激之色:“这算什么,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">怀第一胎时候,还天天下地干活儿呢!”
“那是以前,做不得数,现<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68"><ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Zyjjx31b7s5AA3A68"><ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们家,就要听<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">们,只管乖乖歇着就是,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">去给<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">做吃。”
一屋子<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">围着刘三娘转了一天,直到天黑了才消停,夜里时候,赵立夏抱着方怡蹭了蹭:“媳妇儿,王嫂子怀孕了,咱家又能添<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5Lq6jjx31b7s5AA3A68">口了,可真好。”
方怡笑道:“以后会越来越多。”
赵立夏磨蹭了半天,终于将憋了许久话问了出来:“媳妇儿,<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5L2gjjx31b7s5AA3A68">什么时候给<ig style="psitin:relative; tp:5px;" sr="/bk2/shig5iRjjx31b7s5AA3A68">生个娃儿
作者有话要说:又来晚了·····
