502 Gathering (Part I)

Walk to the Su Causeway where the West Lake is full of flowers and look at the lake, only to see the sparkling waves on the lake, the light boat rippling, and the three pools reflecting the moon embedded in the lake like a treasure mouth.

Seeing this, Gu You asked, "Madam, do you want to put the painting tools here?"

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "No, let someone call a small boat, I want to go boating on the lake." "After the scenery is finished, choose the scene, and when you see a beautiful picture, you will paint it, and when you see something more beautiful than here, the painting you painted before will be invalidated, and Yueyao doesn't want to waste time.

Gu You soon got a boat, a boat that can carry more than ten people, the owner of this boat is a couple, looking at the leader is a woman, very surprised, there are many people boating on the lake, but a single married woman, this is still the first.

Yueyao got on the boat, Gu You and Gu Lan plus ten guards also got on the boat, but these people who got on the boat were not allowed to worry about her.

The boat rowed slowly, and Yueyao had plenty of time to take in the scenery around her.

April spring, it is the most beautiful time in the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains are green and the water is sparkling, the willows are green and the peach blossoms are red, the warblers are dancing and the swallows are dancing, the boats pass under the willow trees, some willows brush their cheeks lightly, and some willows gently sweep over the heads and shoulders. Coupled with the slight sound of the swaying oar, it is really a taste.

Gu You pushed Gu Lan and said, "I've always heard that Jiangnan is picturesque, and the scenery here is really the same as in the painting." ”

Gu Lan lowered her voice and said: "Wrong, the painting is dead, the scenery here is alive, there is no immersion, just looking at the painting, you will never be able to feel the taste." ”

When Yueyao got off the boat, she said to Gu You: "Go and talk to the boatman, and charter his boat for another day tomorrow." Yueyao decided to look at it for two more days, to immerse herself in the scenery, and then to paint.

The boatman took the ten taels of silver given by Gu You, and when he heard Gu You say that he would use it for another day tomorrow, he was overjoyed: "Okay, we will wait here tomorrow." "Ten taels of silver for rowing a day, where to find such a good thing, they hope that this rich lady can charter a boat for a few days.

Yueyao heard Brother Xu's laughter from afar.

Yueyao went boating on the lake today, Xiang Wei didn't have this to give her compatriots, and she didn't want to follow her, so when she came to Hangzhou, she naturally wanted to go shopping, and she went to eat delicious food by the way.

Yueyao didn't stop Xiang Wei, but let Xiang Wei take a few children out with her and come to Hangzhou.

Xiang Wei walked out of it, looked at Yue Yao and said with a smile: "Today, I have eaten so much that my stomach is supported, don't you know, how delicious the crab roe soup dumplings are, this one person ate three cages, and the Dongpo meat ......" Xiang Wei saw Yue Yao's expression and knew that she had to be trained.

Sure enough, Yueyao's face was not good-looking: "No matter how delicious things are, you should also have an appropriate amount of them, and besides, you are accompanied by five children, and you let the children do the same?" Everyone has something they like, Xiang Wei likes food, she not only does not object but also supports her to open a dim sum shop, but Yueyao has a headache for Xiang Wei who has no self-control.

Xiang Wei said curtly: "You still take care of this matter!" She didn't want to, but when she saw the delicious food, she just couldn't stop, and she had to eat until she couldn't stop it.

Yue Yao glanced at Xiang Wei angrily, and then walked in, and as soon as she entered the room, she looked at Brother Xu and said happily: "Master, I didn't lie to you, right?" Isn't this crab roe soup dumpling delicious?"

Yue Yao laughed, the teacher has lived in Hangzhou for more than ten years, can he still know if this crab roe soup dumpling is delicious? However, listening to the teacher Yinghe talking about delicious food, Yue Yao suddenly felt sour, the teacher lived alone in such a big house, I am afraid that it would be very lonely, Yue Yao couldn't help but ask: "Xiang Wei, do you say that people are really afraid of loneliness when they are old?"

Xiang Wei nodded and said: "The boss I've seen, nine out of ten are afraid of loneliness, you look at Mr. Yushan, Mr. Yushan's complexion was very bad when he first came, you see that it has only been a few days, and Mr. Yushan's complexion has improved a lot." "The home is lively and not deserted, and the elderly feel comfortable.

Yue Yao hesitated a little: "Then you say, should I let the three brothers of Brother Sheng go to Suzhou?" Since the child can bring happiness to the teacher, Yueyao doesn't want to take the child away.

Xiang Wei is also not easy to give advice: "You can ask Mr. Yushan about this matter and let him make a decision, I think, if Mr. Yushan wants the child to stay, your problem Mr. Yushan will help solve it." Xiang Wei thinks that the three boys are similar to those placed in Mingzhu and Mr. Yushan.

Yueyao thought about it for a long time, and finally told Mr. Yushan that she would stay in Jiangnan for a while: "Teacher, I must be very busy during this time, and you are not in good health, I want to ask a gentleman to teach them, teacher, look at ......" She is not familiar with this place at all, please Mr. This matter must be annoying the teacher.

Mr. Yushan was so happy that he couldn't do it: "You don't have to worry about the child if you put it here with me, as for please sir, I don't need to see it, there is an academy next to it, let the three children go to the academy, at this age, you should also have more contact with your peers." With these three children by his side, Mr. Tamayama felt that the house was full of life.

Before Yueyao could speak, Mr. Yushan frowned and said, "Brother Sheng is no problem with me, what about Kexin?"

Yue Yao smiled: "Kexin, I will arrange it properly." "If Mingzhu knew that she could bring Kexin over, she wouldn't know how happy she would be!

Yueyao only gave the three brothers three days of play time, because entering the school is not a matter that can be decided in two or three days, so after three days, the three brothers began to live a hard life of practicing martial arts in the morning and learning in the afternoon, because they could not find a place to practice riding and archery for the time being, and the three children followed Master Liao to learn fist and foot kung fu.

Brother Xu is a clever ghost, he deliberately complained to Mr. Yushan on this day, and showed Mr. Yushan's bruised arm: "Master, can you tell your mother, can you stop practicing martial arts, Mr. Liao is so ruthless!" Mr. Liao is very strict with the three children, more than Xiang Wei, and Brother Xu is the least willing to practice martial arts among the three children, I thought it was finally easy, but I didn't expect it to be the beginning of another round of suffering.

Mr. Yushan looked very distressed, but he was still very in favor of letting the children practice martial arts, if the three children did not practice martial arts, where could they be as strong as the little tiger: "You learn from the master well, and when you learn well, I will no longer be cruel to you." "The child should be in pain, but he can't be spoiled, and he can't be allowed to do whatever he wants.

Brother Xu was very disappointed.

Mr. Yushan smiled and said to the three boys: "If you don't make a jade, you don't know if you don't learn, your mother is strict with you now, and it is for your good to let you follow the master to learn kung fu, and when you learn the skills, you can have a good future in the future, but you can't live up to your mother's hard work." ”

Brother Xu said that he is working hard now and can't stand it.

Mr. Yushan touched Brother Xu'er's head and said: "A man is not a husband, he can't be afraid of suffering and sinning, otherwise he will have no chance for the rest of his life." ”

Fei Ge'er suddenly asked, "Master, wasn't my mother afraid of suffering and suffering when she studied before?" Shigong and his mother are in the same line, where is it so easy to fool.

Mr. Yushan smiled and nodded: "Your mother is the hardest working person my master has ever seen, every day at three o'clock to practice calligraphy, until the end of the hour to go to sleep, practice for too long, hands are grinding blood, but she has never stopped a day, and because the woman's wrist strength is not enough, she tied a sandbag on her hand every day, her arm hurt so much that she couldn't lift it and didn't want to put it down, she persevered for ten years, you have to study hard with your mother." ”

Brother Xu tilted his head sideways and asked, "Master, is that mother a good student?"

Mr. Yushan laughed: "Your mother's calligraphy and painting are hard to find, do you say that she has become a talent?"

Brother Xu lowered his head and calculated: "My monthly case is ten taels of silver, so a piece of my mother's calligraphy and painting is equivalent to my one hundred months of monthly silver?" A painting costs a thousand taels of silver, which seems to be a bit much.

Fei Ge'er remembered that he was outside looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the street: "I remember that those calligraphy and paintings were all in pairs of three, five, and two. ”

Brother Sheng concluded: "Mother's calligraphy and painting are too expensive. "Her mother paints a picture, and others have to paint hundreds of pictures to make it.

The three brothers had heard from the people in the mansion that their mother was a talented woman, but they had never heard anyone say that her mother's calligraphy and paintings were so valuable.

Mr. Yushan was happy: "Don't count it anymore, your mother's calligraphy and painting can't be bought with money, I tell you this, I want you to learn from her, you can't complain about being tired, you know?"

Brother Sheng nodded again and again: "Never again." Fei Ge'er also immediately stated that he would definitely practice martial arts with Master in the future.

Brother Xu was puzzled: "My mother has insisted on painting and practicing calligraphy for ten years, and she has not followed the master to practice martial arts for ten years. ”

As soon as Brother Xu'er's words fell, he was slapped by Brother Fei: "Stupid, my mother will boxing every morning and night, isn't that ten years of insisting on practicing?" There is also putting a sandbag in your hand, which is also practice. ”

Brother Xu thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be." ”

Brother Sheng said with a smiling face: "What does it seem to be, it should be." "When I meet such a younger brother who is often lazy, it is a great responsibility to be an older brother.

Xiao Tuanzi didn't say much, but he fell into deep thought.

At night, Brother Xu leaned on Yueyao's body, opened Yue's hand, looked at the thick cocoons on his hands, Brother Xu touched the cocoons that were a little cut, and asked, "Mother, did you get these cocoons by practicing calligraphy?"

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Okay, why do you ask this?"

Brother Sheng told Yueyao what happened today: "My master said that my mother was very hard when she was young, and she wanted us to learn from my mother!"

Yue Yao smiled: "Well, when I was young, my mother was very hardworking. ”

Xiang Wei interjected on the side: "Your mother has not been lazy since she gave birth to you, and she has been diligent every day when you are sleeping." ”

Brother Xu asked strangely: "Mother, why are you so diligent!" Why doesn't my sister practice calligraphy and don't use it for painting?"

Yueyao didn't expect her son to ask such a tricky question: "Your grandfather and grandmother are gone very early, and my mother thought that if there was no money to eat that day, I could still sell words to earn a bite to eat, but then I slowly got used to it, and it was a little uncomfortable not to practice calligraphy for a day." ”

Fei Ge'er's face changed when he heard this: "Mother, did anyone bully you when you were young?" Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that one day there is no money to eat.

Yue Yao didn't continue, just smiled and said: "It's all over, you don't need to talk about it anymore, you have to study and practice martial arts in the future, you can't be lazy, you know?"

Brother Sheng and the three of them said in unison: "Don't worry, mother, we will study hard in the future and practice martial arts well." ”

Yue Yao didn't give the three brothers an answer, and Brother Xu went to find the answer by himself, and the three of them secretly asked Xiang Wei: "Auntie, was there a bad person who was not good to my mother before!"

Xiang Wei felt that the three brothers of Brother Sheng were already sensible, and it didn't hurt to tell them some things, so she immediately said Yueyao's previous difficult situation: "Your mother was offended when she was young, but now she just lets you study and practice martial arts. ”

When the three brothers heard this, they felt that it was really undeserved to always make their mother angry before, and Brother Sheng'er was the first to say as an elder brother: "I can't make my mother angry in the future." Fei Ge'er nodded in agreement.

Brother Xu also nodded in agreement, but he felt that this matter could not only be known to the three people, but also to let his sister know.

Xiang Wei didn't laugh out loud, Kexin is the most well-behaved of the four children, according to Yueyao's words, Kexin is her intimate little padded jacket, how could Kexin make Yueyao angry, Xiang Wei pointed to Brother Xu and said: "You little clever ghost, you can't beat your sister's idea, if you want your mother to know, you will definitely be punished heavily." ”

Brother Xu said pitifully: "Auntie, don't worry, I don't dare to beat my sister's idea." Brother Xu is depressed, everyone is favored, but their family is the eldest favored, her mother is basically obedient to her sister, and she may be ruthless to their three brothers.

Xiang Weile: "Scarcity is precious, who let your mother only give birth to one of your sister's daughters, but the boy gave birth to three!" In fact, Yueyao hurts the four children the same, but she thinks that her son should be taught strictly, and her daughter should be pampered, but the children are still young, and they don't understand this when they tell them, and when they grow up, they will understand Yueyao's good intentions.

The three brothers still talk about it, and since that conversation, the three brothers are no longer lazy in practicing martial arts with Mr. Liao, and they are also writing the big characters they ask to write every day.

Yueyao was relieved by this.

The matter of the three sons has come to an end, and Yueyao has new troubles: "I've been in Hangzhou for eight days, why hasn't Mingzhu come here yet?" Brother Sheng'er and a few people are going to the school the day after tomorrow, what should I do if I leave a small group? Or, Xiang Wei, you will send Xiaotuanzi to Suzhou tomorrow!" It only takes four days to get from Suzhou to Hangzhou at the slowest time, which is double the time, and it's a bit strange that it hasn't arrived yet.

Xiang Weicai didn't send it: "Presumably something delayed for a few days, since I didn't send someone to deliver the letter and said no, I think Mingzhu must have been on the way to come, I want to send a small group to Suzhou, Mingzhu brought someone over, we didn't bump into each other at that time, so I didn't panic." ”

Yue Yao thought for a while and smiled: "It's better to send someone over to ask, you see, Xiao Tuanzi can't wait to grow wings like that, so that he can fly to Suzhou." ”

Xiang Wei smiled and nodded.

Who would have expected that the people sent would go out on the front foot, and someone would come back with the pearl on the back foot, and it would arrive in half an hour.

Yue Yao couldn't help but laugh and said, "She's really done." ”
