Mrs. Li pulled Li Han to introduce Yue Yao and Ting Zheng. Li Han showed a big smile at Ting Zheng.

Yueyao patted Tingzheng with a smile: "Tingzheng, call brother." ”

Ting Zheng could only boldly say, "Brother is good." No matter how bold he is, Ting's voice is as small as a mosquito.

Li Han raised his voice and said: "How can a manly husband talk like a girl, look, he should speak like me." In the end, the sound was deliberately raised by a few decibels.

Yue Yao couldn't help but laugh when she looked at such a cute child. This child speaks loudly, indicating that he has a lively and cheerful temperament, and his eyes are clear, which shows that he is a child of pure character. Of course, the main thing is that Yueyao trusts the Li family's tutor.

Ting Zheng had a bitter face, as soon as this person came, he said that he was beautiful, and now he said that he was like a girl, Ting Zheng instinctively rejected Li Han.

Li Han didn't realize that he was disliked, and said with a smile: "Don't call me Brother Li Han in the future, if you want to call me Little Brother in the future." ”

Ting Zheng looked at Yue Yao, Yue Yao smiled and nodded, Ting Zheng said with a bitter face: "Brother Li Han." "It's clear that Tingzheng is not willing to compromise.

Li Han glared at Ting Zheng.

Yueyao couldn't cry or laugh.

Mrs. Li hugged Ting Zheng in her arms and laughed: "You child...... this child is really funny."

Li Han accused Ting Zheng again, but the expression seemed to say that you are really ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ small ~ say ~ ybdu is not cute. Seeing Yueyao couldn't help laughing, and at the same time she was also very happy, Ting Zheng's temperament was too boring, Li Han's temperament was the opposite of Ting Zheng, I hope that Tingzheng and Li Han can be affected by getting along for a long time.

After a conversation, Li Han whispered to Mrs. Li: "Mother, I should go back to school, otherwise my father will have to punish me again." "It was only after a long time that I begged Mr. to let him come.

Mrs. Li has long been accustomed to her youngest son's escape: "Cheng, then you go!" "Although the youngest son is a little out of the way, the general direction is right.

Li Han didn't turn around immediately, but looked at Ting Zheng and said, "Mother, since my younger brother is here to study and learn calligraphy with me, shouldn't I take him away now." ”

Mrs. Li looked at Yue Yao with a smile.

Yue Yao shook her head: "Not for the time being, I can't let Tingzheng study with you after I talk to your husband." "Yue Yao wants to tell Mr. Tingzheng some information first. In this way, the gentleman has the bottom in his heart, and he will pay attention to it when he teaches the main brother in the future.

Li Han muttered, the reality is that he is not happy now.

Mrs. Li was a little surprised by Yue Yao's caution, and the child seemed to be acting completely differently from the rumors: "If Yue Yao is not at ease, you can ask Mr. to come over now, and you can tell Mr. yourself about the matters that need to be paid attention to." Mrs. Li knew about her husband's friendship with Lian Dongbo. After Lian Dongbo's death, her husband has been very sad. Now I can take care of my friend's children, and my husband can reduce some of his sorrow.

Mrs. Li looked at the two children and recalled the coldness on her husband's face when he came back to tell her about it that day. Ahem, these two Coke kids, they have to be replaced in the future.

Li Guoxun received a letter from Lian Dongbo to him, hoping that he could take care of Yueyao in the future. In addition to the letter, Lian Dongbo also asked people to attach a small box, stating that the box was his daughter's future dowry money. At that time, Li Guoxun thought that Ziming was too worried, and even the family would be able to shorten his niece's dowry at that time. When I knew that Yueyao dragged Ma Chengteng to find Mr., I would know what the entrustment of my best friend meant.

Yueyao didn't shirk because she was embarrassed, but said bluntly: "Please forgive my aunt." It's not that I don't trust Mr., but Tingzheng is in a special situation, and I must explain some things to Mr. well. "In front of people who are sincere to themselves, there is no need to beat around the bush to speak.

Yue Yao's solemn attitude made Mrs. Li nod her head: "You kid, it's too late to see that you love your brother so much and care about your brother and aunt, where can you blame." "A child who is only eight years old has to take care of his younger brother, and if his parents need to work so hard somewhere, a child without a father or mother is sensible early.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "This is what I should do." "The eldest sister is like a mother, these are indeed what she should do. If you didn't do a good job in your last life, you have to double it in this life.

Mrs. Li asked Li Han to take Tingzheng out: "This child has been spoiled by me, but Yueyao, don't worry, my little son is fine except for his temperament." Mrs. Li was worried that Yueyao would think that Li Han's appearance would bring Ting Zheng badly, so she was unwilling.

Yue Yao shook her head and said with a smile: "I think Brother Li Han is very good, lively and cute, and he makes people like it when he looks at it." My aunt doesn't know, I'm worried that Tingzheng's temperament is too dull, and it's good to be able to change his dull temperament by Li Han's younger brother's side. "It's okay to jump out of temperament, as long as Li Han himself has a good character.

Mrs. Li felt a little emotional about Yueyao doing her best for her younger brother, these responsibilities that were originally mothers have now fallen on Yueyao's head.

After a while, the gentleman came over.

Mr. was wearing an ivory white Gongbi landscape and vermilion deep coat, and his head was tied with a silver-edged silk scarf of the same color. Looking at people, he is a very gentle and easy person to get close to.

Yue Yao looked at this outfit and was in a trance for a moment. I remember that her father also liked this kind of dress, and he was not bad in the past, and he was dressed like this when he was casual in the mansion. It's a pity that she can never see her father's face again.

Yue Yao noticed her abnormality and immediately lowered her head to hide her emotions, and after a while, she looked up clearly and saluted her husband: "Sir, my brother's situation is a little special, so I want to tell Mr. something, and please forgive me for the abruptness." ”

The gentleman who taught Li Han was surnamed Zhu, and Mr. Zhu was a little surprised when he heard it: "If there is anything to pay attention to, the girl said that it is okay." This is the first time he has encountered such a situation in his years of teaching.

Yue Yao explained Tingzheng's situation to Mr. in detail with Mr.

Mr. Zhu heard that Ting Zheng had only learned the hundred family names in a month, so he stayed directly. Mr. Zhu has already gotten Li Guoxun's words, and he has no objection to teaching one more child. If the owner has something to say, he must not shirk it. However, I only heard Master Li say that this child's qualifications are average, but now that I have listened to the little girl's explanation, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is generally a rotten wood.

Mrs. Li was also surprised. She had heard her husband say that this child was not qualified, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. Looking at Yueyao's expression at the moment, his expression changed, knowing that his younger brother's qualifications were not successful, but he could patiently teach for several months. If she is an old man, but Yueyao is only eight years old, such patience can't help but make her frightened.

Seeing Mr. Zhu's embarrassed expression, Yue Yao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, I just hope that he can learn more things and be sensible, and he can support the door of our family in the future." Yueyao said that she didn't want to put pressure on her husband, there would be no burden without pressure, and she could teach Tingzheng more wholeheartedly. If there is pressure to go to school, no gentleman will dare to teach the See.

Mr. Zhu's face softened. Imagine that the surname of a hundred families has been studied for a month, how can such a rotten wood-like qualification be tempered into beautiful jade: "Don't worry, girl, I will teach with all my heart." "Dedication is a certainty, and I won't say much else.

Yueyao was already very satisfied with this assurance, and asked Hua Bud to send the gift she had prepared. Among the gifts given by Yueyao is a Duan inkstone, which belongs to the four famous inkstones. The inkstone sent by Yueyao is fine, greasy, moist and pure, and it is top-grade at first glance.

Yueyao sent someone to inquire about Mr. Zhu's preferences and knew that Mr. Zhu liked to collect inkstones. Giving gifts to people is naturally good for people, and this Duan Yan was also found by Yue Yao with a lot of effort. In fact, there are inkstones that are more expensive than Duan inkstones, but you also have to grasp a measure of gifting. It's too good to give it now, not only does it make the Li family mutter, but they don't know what to give if they give gifts in the future.

Mr. Zhu liked it when he looked at this inkstone, but he couldn't accept such a valuable gift from a girl's family: "Girl, Zhu can't accept this gift." If it was sent by Li Guoxun now, he would definitely take it without saying a word. But an eight-year-old girl is still a fatherless and motherless child, and he can't help it.

Seeing Mr. Zhu's resolute attitude, Yue Yao turned her head to ask Mrs. Li for help.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu take it!" If you don't accept it, you'll waste my niece's heart. "It's not necessarily true how valuable this inkstone is, but Mrs. Li is curious about where Yueyao knew that Mr. Zhu likes inkstone. Gift-giving is a university question, but this child can be sent to people's hearts, which is not simple.

In addition to sending this inkstone, Yueyao also prepared four gifts. This is the norm, and students should prepare gifts for their teachers.

Under the persuasion of Mrs. Li, Mr. Zhu accepted Yueyao's gift. After a few more words, I went back to the class. In the past, there was only one Li Han, and now there is also a Tingzheng. The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, and when you get good things from others, you naturally have to teach them wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Li beckoned Yueyao to her side: "Come, sit next to your aunt." You kid, it's really distressing. "It's not easy to understand the world at such a young age.

Yueyao smiled: "It's all reminded by my mother." Yueyao didn't want people to think that she was too precocious, so she gave the credit to her mother.

Mrs. Li patted Yueyao's hand.

Yueyao was talking to Mrs. Li, and the maid outside said, "Madam, the master is back." "Li Guoxun and Mrs. Li are very affectionate, and the mansion has two concubines, but in fact it is equivalent to decoration.

Yue Yao's whole body stiffened when she heard this, she was very nervous, very nervous. She had only seen Uncle Li once in her previous life, and she went to ask for the money back. She still remembers Uncle Li's ugly face that time, and when she looked at her for a while, her eyes showed not only disappointment, but also pain. Now that she was going to see Uncle Li again, Yueyao's nervous palms were sweaty.

Mrs. Li smiled when she saw Yue Yao's nervous expression: "You kid, your uncle can't eat people, what is there to be afraid of." She was calm just now, but she didn't want to hear her husband's name and be scared like this, thinking of her husband's majestic expression, Mrs. Li smiled, but she didn't expect Yueyao to listen to her husband's reputation.

Li Guoyan came directly and didn't change his clothes, so he came over wearing a court dress. Li Guoxun is extremely positive, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but this appearance is the most popular in officialdom, because this appearance is the most official.

Seeing Li Guoxin looking at her, Yue Yao didn't know why, and lowered her head in shame. But I knew in my heart that it was different from my previous life, and Uncle Li looked at him, although his face was still so grim, but his eyes revealed love.

Mrs. Li pushed her husband down with a smile: "Who made you look so scary, scared Yueyao." "This child is really afraid of her husband.

Li Guoxun was very helpless, he was like this, and his son was very scared when he saw him. Unexpectedly, this niece was also scared when she saw him.

Yue Yao stabilized her mind and saluted Li Guoxun: "Uncle is well." ”

Li Guoxun saw that Yueyao's face was ruddy and her complexion was good, not as sad and sad as he imagined, and Yueyao's etiquette was not bad, so he nodded with satisfaction at the moment: "Well, it's good." As for whether Yue Yao could understand what this meant by being good, it was not within his consideration.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Master, go and change your clothes!" ”

Li Guoxun nodded and left the small living room. When he came out again, he had already changed into a light blue silk shirt, with a jade belt tied around his waist, which was less majestic and more casual than just now.

Although Li Guoxun didn't have much contact with Yueyao, Lian Dongbo was his best friend, and now that his friend left behind two children, he must take care of it carefully, and the previous events also made him have a very good impression of Yueyao. Li Guoxun asked Yueyao and said, "I will go to the capital, but I can get used to it." "Yueyao grew up in Jiangnan since she was a child, and she is definitely not used to the capital.

Yue Yao smiled and nodded: "I was a little unaccustomed to it when I first came, but now I'm used to it." ”

Mrs. Li saw that Yueyao was still scared just now, but now she was not nervous at all when answering her husband's question.

Li Guoxun asked Yueyao a lot of questions, not only about things in Jiangnan, but also things in Lianfu, and even about the details of life.

Yueyao kept saying that it was good. Yue Yao knew very well that she could tell her uncle that she was not doing well in Lianfu, that was because her uncle was her dearest, and the most important thing was that she was sure that her uncle would be on her side. But Li Guoxun can't do it, even if he is his father's best friend and an elder she can trust, but Li Guoxun is still an outsider in the final analysis. It is extremely undesirable to speak ill of one's own family in front of outsiders, because if you are not careful, it will make people think that you are not virtuous.

Based on this idea, when Yueyao answered Li Guoxun's question, she only said it very well, and she didn't say that even half a word of Lianfu was bad for a long time.

Mrs. Li also glanced at Yue Yao in surprise, could it be that the rumors were wrong. Even Li Guoxun felt that he was thinking too much, in fact, it was still very good to treat these two children in the house.

What Yue Yao said is actually the truth, even the old lady is doing well in Yue Yao's mansion, but she doesn't know in the future. And Yueyao understands very well that the more she says good things about the Lian family now, the more she will know that the people in the Lian Mansion treat her badly, the more she will be able to win their sympathy and love.

Li Guoxun asked many questions, and Yueyao answered them seriously without getting tired of it. Mrs. Li couldn't help but laugh when she heard her husband ask about Yueyao's life.

When Li Guoxun heard his wife laughing, he realized that he had asked too much. However, Li Guoxun still said with an unchanged face: "Very good." Yueyao answered the questions clearly, and she was not stage frightened, which was really good. It's a pity that it's a daughter, if Yueyao is a son, Brother Ziming is also a successor.

The maid came in and replied, "Master, Lord Yang is waiting for the master in the hall." ”

Li Guoxun nodded, said a few words to Mrs. Li and went out, this was an appointment before, and the two had something to discuss.

Mrs. Li waited for Li Guoxun to walk away, patted Yueyao's hand and said with a smile: "Your uncle is like this, don't be scared by him." "Thinking about the little son's bitter face every time he sees her husband, she feels funny as if he wants his life. In fact, her husband is just strict on the outside, but the people around him are frightened by his strict outside.

Yue Yao smiled and shook her head: "Auntie, I know that my uncle really cares about me and loves me to ask me so many things." If it weren't for my uncle's busy schedule, where would he ask me about such trivial things? "If you don't pay attention to it, where will you ask so much, in Yueyao's memory, the eldest uncle has never asked her so many things.

Mrs. Li listened to the pity in her eyes, and was able to say such sad words, it seems that the life of the two children in Lianfu was more unsatisfactory than expected. It took only half a year for the second master and the second wife of the family to let this child experience the warmth and coldness of human affection, cough, a child without a father and a mother is really bitter!

Lunch, Yueyao was used with Li Guoxun and Mrs. Li. Li Heng, the eldest son of the Li family, and Li Zhen, the second son, are both studying at Bailu Academy, going home for two days a month, and now there is only the third son Li Han in the family. This is also Li Han's age, and he has to be admitted to the school when he reaches the age.

Mrs. Li was originally going to divide the men's and women's tables. Li Guoxun shook his head and said, "The child is still young, so he doesn't need to be so particular." "If the eldest son and the second son are here, they will definitely have to share the table. Now there is only the youngest son in the family, and the youngest son is only six years old, and it is not yet the time to distinguish between men and women.

Yue Yao looked at Li Han, who was jumping around just now, and now he looked like a little old man at the dinner table, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this child is really a dual personality!

After lunch, Yue Yao accompanied Ting Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, tell my sister, how is Mr. taught?" Yueyao wanted to see how Brother Zheng felt in class.

Brother Zheng felt that following Li Han to listen to the class was different from listening to Yueyao alone: "Mr. is not as good as his sister." ”

Yue Yao smiled and asked, "Where is there no sister?" ”

Ting Zheng was embarrassed, he just felt that he was not as good as his sister, but he couldn't say where Mr. taught him badly. The little face was flushed.

Yue Yao looked at Ting Zheng's appearance and understood, Ting Zheng was afraid that he didn't want to be separated from him, so he deliberately said that Mr. was not as good as her: "In the future, you must obediently listen to Mr. 's words, you can't be lazy, you can't be slack, you have to work as hard as you do at home, you know?" ”

Although Ting Zheng was reluctant, he still nodded: "Sister, I know." ”

Yue Yao accompanied Ting Zheng for a long conversation, and then said goodbye to Li Guoxun and Mrs. Li. There was also an embroidery class in the afternoon, and she didn't want to delay her homework again, or she would like to go back after dinner.

Li Guoxun heard that he still had to study, and he did not stop him. Just looked at Yueyao and said, "You are still young now, tell your aunt if you have anything in the future, don't be polite." "He has always been strict with his son, and he is really inexperienced in how to get along with little girls.

Yue Yao smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

Mrs. Li sent Yueyao to the second gate, took Yueyao's hand and said, "If you have time, you will come to your aunt's house to play." She wanted a daughter, but she couldn't. Such a well-behaved child, she hates to be her own daughter.

Yue Yao nodded immediately: "Okay." If she could, she would like to go out more often, and she would definitely learn a lot from these elders.

After Mrs. Li went back, she sighed to Li Guoxun: "This kid is so sensible, and it makes me feel distressed." As he spoke, he told Li Guoxun what he had just done, and couldn't help but shake his head after speaking: "It seems that this kid is really not doing well in Lianfu." Otherwise, how can an eight-year-old child be like an adult, it's not easy" For people like Mrs. Li, it's not Yueyao who believes how good Lianfu is. Through Yueyao's words and deeds, you can see many things.

Li Guoxun said after a while: "If you can take care of more in the future, you will take care of some of them." "He is an outsider, so he can let Ting Zheng learn from his youngest son because Ting is a man, and he can take care of it. But Yueyao is his daughter's family, and he can't control it.

Mrs. Li knew her husband's concerns, the two families used to be world friends, but her husband and the eldest lady of the Lian family had some problems with each other, and the two families were likely to only maintain their face-saving feelings after the old lady Lian: "Don't worry, master, I will let people take care of my brother." Taking good care of Brother Zheng may also be equivalent to reducing the burden on the child.

Li Guoxun frowned, and suddenly said, "If I don't mention it to Brother Shen Qian, Yueyao is also following Haoding, and it will be better for him to ask." Although Li Guoxun and Shen Qian's relationship is not as good as Lian Dongbo, they are also friends. The Shen family is Yueyao's future in-law, and if she comes forward, she must be more justified.

A touch of complexity flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes: "For the time being, don't use it, wait until you have something to tell the people of the Shen family." Otherwise, the people of the Lian family would think that Yueyao had complained to us. "Li Guoyan and Shen Qian have a good relationship, and it stands to reason that the wives of the two families should also get close, but the relationship between Mrs. Li and Mrs. Shen is mediocre, and the two are just maintaining face-to-face exchanges.

Li Guoxun nodded: "That's what Madam said." "He doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, he is all handed over to his wife.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, I see that Yueyao, a child, can take care of himself." If there is a real problem, I am sure she will tell us too. After a morning of contact, Mrs. Li knew that Yueyao was a very smart child. Sensible and intelligent, he won't let himself have a bad time.

Li Guoxun nodded slightly: "That's it for the time being." ”

Mrs. Li asked, "How did this family affair end?" "Mrs. Li, she also knows a thing or two about Mrs. Shen's Mu family, if Yueyao's parents are still there, they must be close relatives, but now that Yueyao has become an orphan girl, Mrs. Li can't help but worry about Yueyao's future.

Li Guoxun said with a smile: "Brother Shen and Ziming's doll kiss, the two children are compatible. ”

Mrs. Li smiled: "It's quite a match." "If Yueyao's parents are naturally compatible, I don't know what will happen in the future.
