38. Yuan's father and daughter

The light and shadow gradually sank, and the heat splashed down. The shade of the green trees is thick and the fragrance of lotus flowers penetrates the crystal curtain, and the pond and lake are clear and golden and red sunlight is lightly sprinkled on the courtyard. Qiaoguo is full of plates, and the cinnamon branches are fragrant. The Niangniang of the Qixi Festival rewarded things again, the carved lilac wood lady incense fan, the red glass beads and colorful silk tassel bracelets, the small pieces of Lan Bihua jade pigs, the osmanthus incense balls, and a string of treasures with a piece of pink hibiscus jade pendant. Shu Heng threw a flower ball and took out the little pig again: "This can be played with by his younger brother when he is born." ”

Mrs. Yuan touched her stomach and smiled: "Your brother doesn't play this, you keep it for yourself." ”

"Then, this bracelet can be given to his daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Yuan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh: "You just keep it for yourself." My daughter-in-law is my own concern. ”

It happened that Shuheng was a little cold, and Mrs. Yuan saw that she was in good spirits, so she made a report and left her to rest at home, without thanks. And she is pregnant, so she has long been exempted from this ceremony.

Shuheng woke up from a nap and was already a golden crow, stretched his waist lazily, Honey brought water in, she cleaned her face and rinsed her mouth, and sat in a daze for a while, Honey even mentioned a few amusing notes were rejected by her, she was in a hurry, but Shuheng let her not have to follow, she walked through the hall alone, passed the courtyard as she liked, and walked into a side courtyard with the shade of flowers. Guogong wore a jade-white silk shirt, a moon-white dark moire thin brocade gown, held a book, leaned on the purple bamboo couch at will, and a large shelf of vine roses bloomed just right behind him.

Shu Heng tiptoed over, and just as he was about to cover his eyes, Yuan Guogong laughed softly, lost the book, and pulled her to the couch. First of all, ask, "Does your throat still hurt?" ”

"I drank a lot of hot water and ate licorice mint cream, and now it doesn't hurt."

"The nose is still blocked"

"I drank the medicine and slept well."

"Don't kick the quilt when you go to bed at night."

Shuheng nodded a little embarrassedly.

Yuan Guogong looked at the incense string she was wearing, and said, "Don't like the gift from my aunt?" How to be sullen? Shu Heng felt that his father's fingers were cold, and leaned his hot body against him again. Yuan Guogong felt her admiration and smiled softly at the softness of this lamb.

"I naturally like what my aunt gave me." Shuheng put his face on his father's cheek: "Daddy, I have seen that many lords' families have suffered, and the friends who used to play and play are now either slaves or exiles, and I don't know where they have gone. ”

Yuan Guogong lowered his eyes and glanced at her: "Are you soft-hearted again?" ”

Shu Heng hurriedly shook his head: "No." Today's saints are not mean and unsympathetic, and such people must have made their own mistakes. Since you make a mistake, you have to pay a price. If you are blindly soft-hearted, then there is no distinction between good and evil. My mercy is not so cheap. Grandpa Guo smiled and touched her face: "Don't act recklessly because of power, don't be weak because of downfall, don't be poisonous because of majesty, and don't abuse because of kindness." Remember. ”

Shu Heng stood up and bowed: "Heng'er Xie Daddy's teachings." ”

The grandfather smiled and pulled her into his arms again. Shu Heng arched into his arms like a little rabbit: "Daddy, I thought of myself when I saw those friends who didn't know the world but suddenly suffered a big disaster, and I thought of myself, and I thought that I had a good father." A good dad who makes our days more and more wishful. Daddy, Heng'er loves you so much. ”

Grandpa is now accustomed to his daughter's sweet words from time to time, and only pats her on the head: "You have to live your own life as you wish in the future." Did Madame teach you to read the accounts? ”

Shuheng nodded: "I've read a lot of accounts." She pointed her fingers and counted her treasures: "Now that I have finished reading the Five Classics and am reading "Zhuangzi", I am also practicing hairpins. Daddy, the master you invited me is so good, he even taught him to draw and play the piano. And he can not only write Yan muscles and willow bones, right army penmanship, he can also write with two hands, which is really amazing! ”

"Literati elegance, it's time to know. Mr. Lin is teaching students to raise their professions, and his subordinates don't know how many, and teaching you is just a needle to pound Mier. ”

Shuheng smiled: "I also know that Mr. Lin taught me to be wronged, so I first sent shoes and socks and held tea to pinch my shoulders, making him happy every day." ”

Yuan Guogong grabbed her finger and smiled: "It's strange that the two holes are poked on the top, it turns out that it is to honor the teacher." Mr. Lin is chased by Shilin students every year, and now he is hiding and idle, and teaching you is also a two-way thing. His slender fingers cupped his daughter's face and looked at it: "Reading is hard. Lo and behold, there is a jaw. ”

Shuheng was slightly embarrassed: "Yes, yes, studying hard is the first way to lose weight." ”

Yuan Guogong said with a smile: "Everything else is fine, just one thing, girls finally take housekeeping as their first skill." Whether it's a talented woman or a lady, this is the icing on the cake, and you can't put the cart before the horse. You have to study hard with your mother. I listened to the words of your little girl some time ago, saying that you are painting and endorsing, and you are also stroking the birds and birds? You also aspire to be a talented woman. ”

Shuheng nodded. This is also Mrs. Yuan's ideal.

"Do you know who the most famous talented woman in this Great Xia is?"

Shuheng thought for a while: "Dong Yin? Wenhe? Thinking about it again, he said, "Female gentleman Bai Suyuan? ”

"Nope. It's your grandmother. Grandpa Guo changed his posture, lying flat on his back, and Shuheng gave him the stone blue gold thread python pillow and leaned on it again. Hearing this, she was stunned, her grandmother in this life had never met her, and her impression of her was only a tablet in the ancestral hall and the Yuexin Nunnery in the garden. At this time, I recalled Dong Yin's words of "talented women's blood" that day, and realized that she was talking about Mrs. Yuan. At first, she thought she was talking about Yuan Guogong, but then she thought that Yuan Guogong was not from a career background, and he didn't have the reputation of a talent. It can only be said that the handwriting is too bluffing.

"Jiangdong Chen family, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all talented, poetry and songs."

Shu Heng was silent, she had received some information from Madame Yuan, and she probably knew that this old grandmother was not very good at being a town lady. Yuan Guogong always strictly adhered to the "secret for the Venerable" and kept silent, and now he is also to warn his daughter.

"The grandmother was a noble person, an elegant person, and a merciful person, and it was inevitable that the villain would be deceived and slandered. Since ancient times, those who are too high are the most likely to suffer from diseases, and those who are too clean are the most likely to be disliked. Even more so for daughters. There is also a natural softness and softness, and the sage has read too much, and it is inevitable that he will be trapped in the layman. ”

In fact, these words were quite euphemistic and subtle, he wanted to say that you can't be like grandma, you only know Wenmo Danqing black and white palace businessmen, and you don't know how to buy a house and manage your subordinates, so there is no good result. It is not advisable to be lonely and high, and it is not advisable to be dust-free at the moment. If it is really a six-year-old child, I am afraid that I will not be able to hear the praise and disapproval in this sentence at all.

Yuan Guogong also seemed to realize this, stood up and looked at her with a straight face, and sighed for a while, but sighed again: "That's it, my daughter will not be wronged by herself." ”

Shuheng should be serious, and said with a smile: "Daddy, don't worry, Heng'er will not become a bookbag or a nerd." It just so happens that Madame is not well, so I can help the housekeeper. ”

Yuan Guogong smiled: "Is this true? How old are you? Let's take care of my own one-third of an acre first. Don't you know anything about those rumors? ”

"Huh?"

The grandfather pinched her face: "You want to build a righteous village, this is a good thing." Madame will naturally not reduce your expenses, but the little girls under your command are not so good. At the beginning, you made a lot of money because of your attention, and those who followed you were stained, and there were either fruits or clothes at the end of the three days, and even copper coins from time to time, but now there are no such benefits. Everyone understands contentment, but it is not easy to do. Especially now, you have made the county lord, and they still feel that life is not as good as before, but there will be no sadness and sadness? Madame pretended not to ask, but also had the intention to try you"

Shuheng suddenly blushed like an apple: "I didn't know—"

"I don't listen to anything outside the window, and I only read the books of the sages, right?"

"Daddy, don't make fun of me, Heng'er knows it's wrong." Shuheng buried his head in his arms. "I'm going to get things done."

This kind of thing happened, Shuheng now knows, and he is not surprised, but he is used to being loose and has never worried about it.

Although she is pampered and has been well protected in this life and in her previous life, she is not ignorant of fireworks in the world after all. I think when she went to a welfare home with her friends, she would bring some snacks with her every time she visited the children. Later, there was a time when time was tight, and she didn't care about it, she thought about doing games and telling stories as usual, but when she saw that she was empty-handed, a few children rolled their eyes at her, muttering that they didn't know what to say, but it was certainly not a good thing - she felt very uncomfortable at the time, but then she thought that these children lacked the necessary guidance and love, and it was forgiven for being narrow-minded. But being understandable doesn't mean taking it in stride.

"Don't arch, itchy." Yuan Guogong pulled his daughter out with her collar: "What's the hurry now?" Anyway, it's been so long, it's a good thing for you to accompany your wife to dinner. ”

Shuheng raised his head: "Daddy doesn't eat it?" ”

"I've been leaning on this bamboo for an hour, and now I have a bone headache, and I want to go for a break, so you ask Mrs. to ask someone to send a vegetarian meal to Yuexin Nunnery." Yuan Guogong gently rubbed his shoulders.

Shuheng silently black line: Daddy, you are too slender.

Sanyu, the little maid who was waiting in the study, came to clean up the books, and when he saw that Shuheng was still standing, he said, "Big girl, little county lord? Are you waiting for Sister Tangerine to pick you up? ”

Shuheng tilted his head and pointed to Yuan Guogong's figure on the flower and tree path: "I saw my father." ”

Chang Yule was happy: "I'll watch it with you?" ”

"Don't, you're busy with yours." Shu Heng saw the book he put away in a blink of an eye: "Nine Chapters of Water Control"? Is Daddy going to emulate Dayu? Shuheng touched the quaint title with his fingers.

Sanyu quietly pointed to her upper lip: "Girl, be careful, how can anyone follow Dayu?" Shuheng was stunned at first, and then his back was slightly cold: she is not more cautious than the people of the world, and then she is afraid that she will make a big mistake if she is negligent in her words, so she immediately said: "Brother Xie reminds me that I am not careless." He praised again: "No wonder Daddy picked your study to serve, you are really loyal and alert." ”

"It should."

"No wonder I saw the Lord from the Ministry of Industry come to the house as a guest these days." Shuheng suddenly said this.

"Huh?" Sanyu was a little surprised, and he looked Shuheng up and down: "Miss is really smart and scary, I'm afraid you have guessed it too." The official rainy season has not yet begun, but the heavy rain in the Jianghuai area has been painful three times, according to the calculation of the Amaterasu calendar, this year's Qilong water control, the rain is fierce, and it will only increase in the future, but I am afraid that the river dam embankment can not bear it. Sanyu said: "Grandpa has been thinking about this for this time." Miss, you know it, but don't tell anyone, this dust is undecided, it's all confidential. ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry." Shuheng waved his hand and walked away in a childish manner.
