76. [073] Red envelope
The consequence of handing over the responsibility of buying New Year's goods to Guo Jia and the two bear children is that the things they bought can't be seen at all.
Shen Xian took Jia Xu to inspect the things sent back by the vendors with a disgusted face, except for some candy, dried fish and other things that were barely qualified, the rest of the messy gadgets and jars of wine made Jia Xu extremely heartbroken. He looked at Guo Jia with hatred: "Look at these things you bought!" What can you do? Is this a New Year's gift?! β
"I think it's good." Guo Jia was still aggrieved, he pointed to the big wine vat piled up in the corner of the altar and said: "It's the New Year, drink some wine and get drunk before resting and having fun with the people, isn't it?" β
Even if Jia Xu often secretly provided Guo Jia with wine to drink, he couldn't stand it at all at this time, wasting so much money to buy a bunch of useless things, what a loser!
Jia Xu silently looked at the accounts in the mansion, calculating how much silver money was left after Guo Jia's defeat. In contrast, Shen Xian was much calmer, maybe she had a hunch, so she didn't have any hope for Guo Jia at all, so she should spend money to make people happy, anyway, she has money, and it's not the first time she has done this kind of thing, everyone is happy.
After giving Jia Xu a red envelope, Jia Xu finally didn't care about Guo Jia's indiscriminate spending.
Although Guo Jia, the big Jia Xu, can't say it, since the two children who are messing around with him next to him call him "sir", he has the right to educate them. Although Jia Xu usually doesn't meddle in his own affairs, this time he couldn't stand too many things rushing over together, and his old man was uncomfortable, so he had to find someone to be angry. So Lu Ji and Lu Xun fell into bad luck, and until the day Sun Ce and they arrived, they were all locked in the study to copy the national policy.
"Third sister," Sun Quan excitedly tugged at Shen Xian's sleeve and looked up at her: "What about Bo Yan and Gongji?" β
I haven't seen each other for a few months, Sun Quan, who has experienced the tempering of the battlefield, seems to have grown taller, and his soft facial features have gradually become sharper, Shen Xian thought about the two children in the study at home who complained about copying books, and then looked at Sun Quan, who had obviously grown up a lot, and immediately touched his head and sighed: "Zhongmou, you have grown up." β
Sun Quan smiled embarrassedly, and suddenly turned around and pulled over a boy who was taller and stronger than him, but the expression on his face was still as ignorant as a child, to show Shen Xian: "Third sister, this is a friend I met in my eldest brother's army, his name is Lu Ziming." β
Lu Ziming...... Lu Meng? Shen Xian looked at the two children holding hands and leaning on each other very intimately, a little confused: "Big brother's army...... How old was he to join the army? β
"Uh, that's the case......" Sun Quan was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained to Shen Xian the reason why Lu Meng appeared in the army.
After listening to this, Shen Xian suddenly felt that Lu Meng, who looked honest, was actually a bear child.
LΓΌ Meng's brother-in-law Deng Dang was Sun Ce's subordinate, when Sun Ce sent troops to fight Huiji County, LΓΌ Meng mixed in Deng Dang's army and became a small soldier, and later Deng Dang found LΓΌ Meng who joined the army without permission, and beat him up in a fit of rage, and had to rush back. Lu Meng was quite stubborn, holding his neck and holding on to Yuanmen with both hands, but he didn't leave, he had to stay and fight.
Deng Dang's hair is almost white, Lu Meng is the only seedling of the Lu family, if something happens, let alone Deng Dang's mother-in-law, even his wife will have to cry and tear him apart. Just when Deng Dang was worried, Sun Quan happened to follow Zhou Yu passing by, and Lu Meng pointed to Sun Quan and asked Deng Dang why this person who looked younger than him could stay, but he couldn't?
The dispute between Deng Dang and LΓΌ Meng attracted Zhou Yu's attention, and after learning what had happened, Zhou Yu asked LΓΌ Meng if he would like to stay with Sun Quan and be his companion, and usually accompany him to learn martial arts and cultural knowledge. Lu Meng has admired Zhou Yu and Sun Ce for a long time, and he is naturally very happy to have the opportunity to get the guidance of the two of them, plus Deng Dang knows Sun Quan's identity, so he can't ask for anything about this matter, so the matter is settled.
"Although Ziming is a little stunned, he is serious." Sun Quan saw that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce went to the other side to talk to Jia Xu, so he said coquettishly to Shen Xian: "You take the two of us to meet Boyan and Gongji?" I'll introduce them to each other. β
Shen Xian rubbed the top of Sun Quan's hair, and beckoned the housekeeper to take Sun Quan and Lu Meng to play with Lu Ji and Lu Xun, she said: "Tell the two young masters, I am in charge of copying today's book and exempt them, and remember to finish copying it in the remaining seven days and hand it over to Mr. Wenhe for evaluation." β
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment: "Third sister, what mistake did Bo Yan and Gongji make, you want to punish them for copying books?" β
Shen Xian smiled: "You have to ask Wen He about this, but I didn't punish him." Probably Wen He thinks they are spending money indiscriminately, right? Actually, I think it's okay, isn't it just that I bought a few more useless things......"
"Your lord, you can't do this." After Jia Xu finished greeting Zhou Yu, he heard Shen Xian arranging him behind his back, and he said seriously: "Accumulate a lot, you must develop a good habit of being diligent and thrifty, and you can't buy things indiscriminately...... Guo Fengxiao still has you! β
Shen Xian raised her hand to surrender, and Guo Jia blinked and ignored Jia Xu's words.
"What did you do?" Zhou Yu looked at Shen Xian teasingly: "Wen He is angry like this." β
"I didn't do anything." Shen Xian shouted injustice: "Feng Xiao, Boyan, and Gongji went to buy New Year's goods, bought a bunch of useless things and came back, and there were more than a dozen jars of wine ......"
Shen Xian shook her head as she spoke: "Later, I still asked the housekeeper to re-purchase the New Year's goods, otherwise we would have better just drink for the New Year." β
Guo Jia sighed: "You don't believe me, why do you want me to buy it?" β
Shen Xian pursed her lips: "If I don't believe you, I won't let you go, okay?" β
A few people turned around the corridor while talking, and just saw the dozen or so huge wine jars piled up in the corner, Shen Xian pointed to the wine jar and said, "Oh, that's all, how long will it take to finish drinking?" β
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "It's not useless...... It's better to send it to the army to divide it, and just celebrate the New Year together as everyone, anyway, there are many people, and one bowl per person will be drunk. β
"Good idea, second brother!" Shen Xian clapped her hands and smiled: "Just do it!" β
"Lord, that's all my wine," Guo Jia disagreed: "You can't give it to someone else like this." β
"Not my money yet?" Shen Xian patted the cold wine jar: "Then leave you a jar to drink slowly, no more." β
An altar is an altar, which is better than nothing.
Sun Quan took Lu Meng to the inner courtyard under the guidance of the housekeeper, and Sun Quan chatted with the housekeeper without a ride: "Uncle Li, what has happened in my absence these days?" Tell me about it? β
The housekeeper Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Sun Quan looking like a little adult with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help but sigh, he explained seriously: "It's not a big deal, the two young masters worshipped the lord as a teacher, General Zilong didn't instruct the young masters in martial arts before leaving, and later Mr. Wenhe and Mr. Fengxiao will also look at the homework of the two young masters when they are free, but I don't understand what they are learning." β
Sun Quan showed a look of envy when he heard this: "Brother Zilong still teaches them martial arts?" I really want to learn Brother Long's marksmanship......" Sun Quan muttered, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to the housekeeper and Lu Meng, and as he spoke, he suddenly looked excited: "Hey, wait! Bo Yan and Gongji worship the third sister as a teacher? How do you count their generations? Then do they have to call me uncle! β
"Who are you, uncle?"
The window was pushed open, and Lu Xun's delicate and beautiful side face appeared in the window lattice, he held the scroll in his hand, and stared at Sun Quan expressionlessly: "You just came back and became a demon." β
"Bo Yan, I miss you so much!" Sun Quan rushed into the house like a gust of wind and hugged Lu Xun: "Do you want me?" I've got a souvenir for you! There's something interesting to tell youβ"
"You let go of me!" Lu Xun was strangled by Sun Quan and rolled his eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards Lu Ji with difficulty. However, Lu Ji seriously lowered his head and copied the book, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and turned a blind eye to Lu Xun's plea for help. In the end, it was Lu Meng who came in and rescued the poor Lu Xun from Sun Quan.
"Sun Zhongmou, are you trying to strangle me with such great strength!" Lu Xun covered his neck and coughed twice, angrily accusing Sun Quan, saying that Sun Quan squatted at Lu Ji's feet with his head in his hands and did not move. After training Sun Quan, Lu Xun hugged his fists at Lu Meng and said: "Cough, this hero, thank you for saving your life, I can't repay it, I have to ......."
"Promise by example?" Sun Quan secretly glanced at Lu Xun.
"Impossible." Lu Ji said without raising his head: "Bo Yan wants to marry the master, how can he marry someone else." β
"You're going to get married!" Lu Xun said angrily: "I finally know that something was wrong that day!" I'm going to marry her! It's not about marrying her! Are you and Guo Fengxiao in the same group! β
Lu Ji finally finished copying the Warring States Policy ten times, he puffed out his cheeks and gently dried the ink on the paper, and said slowly: "If you want to call Mr., and, who is with him." β
Lu Ji put down the rice paper, and he glanced at Lu Xun casually: "You have been able to react so many days, and it is really slow enough." β
Sun Quan stared blankly at Lu Xun and Lu Jibi, and after looking at him for a while, he muttered, "Is there something that I don't know about?" β
Are you going to marry my third sister? Does my eldest brother and second brother know? You're done with that, right?
This was Sun Quan's only thought.
Of course, for the sake of his good friend's life, Sun Quan did not accuse Lu Xun of spying on Shen Xian after all, he just stared at Lu Xun's slender and slender back with a complicated expression.
"I think he really needs to give up his unrealistic fantasies," Sun Quan secretly complained to Lu Meng: "My third sister can fight very well, I'm really afraid that Boyan's small body can't stand it......"
Lu Meng didn't know what Sun Quan was talking about, but after so many days of getting along, Lu Meng had summed up some ways to deal with Sun Quan, Sun Quan seemed to be looking for someone to chatter, but in fact he was complaining at any time, as long as he nodded and said that he was listening and didn't ignore him, there was no need to talk to him at all. Moreover, Sun Quan was enthusiastic about ordinary things for three minutes, and after a while, he threw away his hand and went to think about something else, Lu Meng felt that he should not be obsessed with it for too long.
Sure enough, after Lu Ji and Lu Xun handed over the copied Warring States Policy to Jia Xu and got Jia Xu's personal permission to go out to play, Sun Quan completely forgot about the fact that his third sister might be coveted.
After self-introduction, several children have a preliminary understanding of each other, and they will be a little restrained at first, but then they will be in the north and south
Seeing that Lu Meng wanted to study so much, Lu Xun said, "Why don't you ask my sister...... Master, see if you can let Ziming study with us? β
Lu Xun, who had just apprenticed, was completely uncomfortable with the title of "Master", and he was very awkward, he didn't say anything if he could, and he had a distorted expression when he had to mention it.
Lu Meng shook his head: "I'm already very good in the army with Zhongmou now, so I don't need to trouble anymore." β
"Hey, what are you afraid of, the third sister is fine." Sun Quan hammered Lu Meng's shoulder: "I also want to study, are you with me?" β
Lu Meng was a little moved by what Sun Quan and Lu Xun said, and he looked at Lu Ji, who had not spoken. Although Lu Ji was the youngest of the four, Lu Meng had a strange feeling, he always felt that Lu Ji was the last person to make up his mind.
Seeing Lu Meng looking over expectantly, Lu Ji held his chin and said, "Go, even if my sister doesn't have time to deal with political affairs, there is still Mr. Wenhe." But it's almost the New Year, and we don't have classes anymore, so if you want to listen to classes, you have to wait until the New Year, so you can ask any questions directly. β
Lu Xun muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why do you call her sister?" β
Lu Ji blinked: "She also said that I was her godson." β
"It's not fair!" Lu Xun quit, so he had to pull Lu Ji to find Shen Xian for comment, so he ......
Shen Xian sighed with a headache, and in front of her stood Lu Xun, who was biting his lip and very aggrieved, Lu Meng, who looked confused and didn't know what was going on, Sun Quan, who was watching the show, and Lu Ji, who was careless.
"Guo Fengxiao, it's all you." Shen Xian began to shake the pot. If Guo Jia hadn't jokingly called Lu Ji "Your baby godson" that day, Shen Xian would not have thought of having this kind of relationship.
"My lord, what does this have to do with me?" Guo Jia's face was full of innocence: "Your son made your nephew cry, isn't this your family matter?" β
may be the reason why Jia Xu has always been unpleasant recently, Guo Jia has to make up for it in front of Shen Xian when he gets the opportunity, when there are only two people, he pours vinegar that is fun, but in front of a bunch of children, no matter how much vinegar is poured, there are no dumplings to eat, okay?
"Guo Fengxiao, if you do this again, I'm going to beat you." Shen Xian rubbed her eyebrows, seeing that Lu Xun was really on the verge of crying, she hurriedly surrendered: "Okay, what do you want?" Tell me about it? β
Sun Quan's intention to muddy the water is not a big deal to see the excitement, and he wants to say, "Third sister, he also wants to be your godson", and took advantage of Lu Xun and Lu Ji at the same time, but as soon as he was about to speak, he was dragged aside by Lu Meng who covered his mouth.
Secretly made a "good job" gesture to Lu Meng, Shen Xian really felt that the most worrying among the bear children was Lu Meng. She beckoned to Lu Xun: "Come here." β
Lu Xun rubbed in front of Shen Xian: "What are you doing?" β
"What do you want to do, little ancestor." Shen Xian gently knocked on Lu Xun's head, she really had no choice but to deal with these children.
Lu Xun lost his father and mother since he was a child, and was pulled up by Lu Kang, who was raised by his grandfather, and finally when he was eleven years old, Lu Kang died again, leaving only a seven-year-old uncle Lu Ji to rely on each other. Both of them are children, and no one can take care of anyone, Shen Xian got Lu Kang's deathbed entrustment, for fear that these two children would be raised crookedly by her in the future, so she racked her brains to think about how to educate them.
Raising a child is quite like raising flowers, but it is much more difficult than raising flowers. Shen Xian launched a qiΔ resource, exploited Zhao Yun and then exploited Jia Xu, and now even Guo Jia, who has always been unorthodox, was dragged over by her to raise children together, which is simply taken into account from all aspects of literature and martial arts, not only culture and character must be cultivated well, but mental health has not been neglected, you must know that this kind of children who have lost their parents since childhood will be more or less psychologically stimulated, and they will slowly recover over time.
Not long after Lu Kang died, Shen Xian was afraid that the two children would be too sad, so she kept spoiling them, and the requirements that could be met were met, and now it seems that she ...... Or is something wrong?
But this problem shouldn't be big, Shen Xian thought silently. To put it bluntly, although Guo Jia is joking, it can be seen from the title that the relationship between Lu Ji and Shen Xian is closer than that between Lu Xun and Shen Xian, so Lu Xun was tasted, but he was still a tsundere, and he couldn't say the words "why do you have a better relationship", so he could only rely on Shen Xian to guess himself.
But the problem is that Lu Ji didn't call me "mother" either.
Shen Xian couldn't cry or laugh.
"In this way, you can call it whatever you like, Master, sister, whatever you want." Shen Xian sighed, she didn't pay much attention to this aspect of the relationship, but the people around her might not be able to say, Master and Sister are still a generation apart, it would be bad if they were mixed up and let some people hear it, so Shen Xian added: "But on formal occasions, the two of you have to be called together, sister or Master, choose one." β
Lu Ji and Lu Xun glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Sister! β
Shen Xian blinked: "Huh? Is the title Master so unpleasant? But I think it's good, huh? β
Guo Jia shook his head helplessly: These two villains are ...... My sister is an equal, especially Shen Xian spoils the child so much, she basically can't stand the majesty of her elders, and some things are not good to talk about.
After solving the problem of children's education, Shen Xian became happy, Sun Quan took the opportunity to propose that he wanted Lu Meng to study with him, and he also tactfully told Shen Xian that Lu Meng's family conditions were not good, so he didn't read and didn't know how to read.
On the issue of educating the next generation, Shen Xian has always been unambiguous, and immediately agreed. Since Lu Meng wants to teach from scratch, Shen Xian went through the people around her and found that everyone else is busy except Guo Jia, but will Guo Jia teach Lu Meng to read?
Guo Jia smiled at Shen Xian.
Forget it...... At this time, Shen Xian missed the people of Yizhou very much.
"I'll send you back to Yizhou after the New Year." Shen Xian closed her eyes and made up her mind: "Anyway, you are all at the age when you should study and study, if you want to go to the battlefield, you can wait for the future, and this kind of thing can't be delayed." It just so happened that before I left Yizhou, they set up a academy, and invited my teacher, Mr. Cai, to enlighten and educate, and you can follow him to listen to a few lessons, which is definitely more than learning here with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. β
Regarding the matter of sending these children away to study, Guo Jia raised his hands in favor, and Jia Xu had no opinion, he helped Shen Xian change official documents every day and taught the children, he was so tired. Although Sun Ce felt that Sun Quan should be allowed to go to the battlefield to experience a few times, Zhou Yu thought that Cai Yong and Lu Zhi would rarely open the door to teach students, and this kind of opportunity could not be missed, and besides, they would fight Jingzhou in the spring of next year, so it was better to send them back if they didn't care about teaching the children.
As soon as the few people put it together, they made a decision on the matter, and at the same time, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhou would also be sent to Yizhou to avoid trouble.
Lu Xun didn't expect that the problem of intimacy would toss him to another place, he was born in Wu County, and he grew up in Lujiang since he can remember, and every grass and tree here has left all kinds of memories, or sad or beautiful, in short, it is difficult to give up. And the unknown Yizhou is not only a novelty for Lu Xun, but also a slight fear.
Lu Ji didn't worry so much, probably because he had already followed Guo Jia to other states and counties.
As for Sun Quan and Lu Meng, because they were accompanied by their mother and sister, Sun Quan only felt excited, so he thought he was going out to play; Lu Meng was a little hesitant, but in the end he was reluctant to give up this great opportunity to study, so he nodded and finally agreed.
However, there are still months before the children are sent away, and the joy of the New Year has diluted their anxiety about leaving home.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, despite the knock on the door breaking the sky, Shen Xian, who slept late, was still hiding in the quilt and did not want to get up, she covered her head and was confused for a while, and suddenly felt that someone lifted her quilt.
Shen Xian was suddenly furious, who dared to break into her house and lift her quilt! Is this impatient to live!
Shen Xian, who turned over, grabbed the collar of the visitor and dragged him in front of her, and then she barely opened her eyes, and her hazy vision focused for a while before she could see Lu Ji's stunned appearance with staring eyes.
Shen Xian: "...... How are you? β
"Wake you up." Lu Ji was strangled by Shen Xian's collar, and struggled a little uncomfortably: "Sister, do you want to sleep until noon?" β
Shen Xian's rusty head gradually worked, she thought about it, and felt that there was indeed no one more suitable to wake her up than Lu Ji. First, Lu Ji is only seven years old this year, and he is still a child, so there is no need to be taboo too much; Second, Lu Ji is her godson...... The apprentice has a very high status, unlike those maids who dare not enter the house because they are afraid.
Lu Ji dared to pull her quilt directly.
"Why the hell do you have to wake me up?" Shen Xian rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly: "Isn't it okay to eat together at night?" β
A pair of cold fingertip hands touched Shen Xian's temples from time to time because of staying up late, and Guo Jia pressed her into his arms with a slight force: "What time did you sleep last night?" β
"At the beginning of the hour...... Shen Xian closed her eyes comfortably and sighed softly: "I don't want to keep so many official documents for the New Year, anyway, sooner or later." β
Lu Ji knelt on the bed, he pressed Shen Xian's knees with both hands through the quilt, raised his head to look at Guo Jia, and then looked at Shen Xian.
Shen Xian suddenly opened her eyes: "Wait for Guo Fengxiao!" How did you get in! β
"Come with him." Guo Jia pouted at Lu Ji, and then he remembered that Shen Xian couldn't see it at all with his back to him, so he turned his head to Shen Xian's ear and said, "A few children want you to play together, and after looking around, I didn't see anyone, so I thought you shouldn't get up yet, so I brought them to call you." β
The man behind him suddenly approached, and his warm chest could be felt through the single clothes. Shen Xian's whole body became stiff, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself: "I'm asking how you got in." β
"The door is open, and I'll come in." Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Why don't I leave now?" β
Shen Xian grabbed Guo Jia's wrist: "Forget it." β
Lu Ji suddenly jumped out of bed and walked out, he said as he walked: "I'll go and tell them that sister, you will come in a while." β
After walking out of the door, Lu Ji also closed the door with his hand.
Shen Xian stretched out her hand and reached straight to the back of Lu Ji: "Don't go!" β
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, the slight vibration in her chest was clearly received by Shen Xian, she stiffened for a while, suddenly relaxed, and moved back into Guo Jia's arms.
"Mr. Guo, I sue you, you are playing with fire." Shen Xian closed her eyes and said, "...... When did you buy that little bastard! β
"It's not about buying, I've taught him a lot, and he's benefited me a lot." Guo Jia lowered his head and rested his chin on Shen Xian's shoulder, he hesitated for a moment, but still tilted his head slightly, and gently put a kiss on her cheek: "Lord Gong, Happy Chinese New Year's Eve." β
Shen Xian raised her hand: "Red envelope." β
Guo Jia smiled, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms that was not very good and put it in Shen Xian's palm: "The red envelope is not ...... This or? β
