When it comes to the topic of the opposite sex, women are no less enthusiastic than men.

Several women chatted all the way, and soon arrived at Shangguan's mansion.

As soon as I came back, I realized that Li Mo and Li Shu were not at home, and only Xiao Wu was watching the children in the room alone.

Li Man was very strange, "Little Wu, didn't you go to school?" “

"Hmm." Xiao Wu snorted weakly, got up and said, "Mama Liu just fed them, it's nothing, I'll go back to the house first." ”

He wants to slip away?

"Wait." Li Man stopped him and stared at him scrutinically, "Why didn't you go to Guozijian?" ”

"I don't want to go." Xiao Wuyi gritted his teeth and simply told the truth.

Li Man was surprised, "Why don't you want to go?" Do you miss school? ”

How did this kid become like this? I think that when she first arrived at the Li family, he was so studious.

"It's not." Her eyes were a little stern, Xiao Wu unconsciously lowered her eyes, and said softly, "I just don't want to go to the Guozijian." ”

"Why?" Li Man didn't understand it anymore, it was a place that many people couldn't go to if they wanted to.

Xiao Wu didn't explain, only assured, "Don't worry, I've been reviewing my homework every day these days, and I haven't fallen behind at all." I promise you'll work hard. ”

"But what does this have to do with you going to the Guozijian to observe? Don't you want those college scholars to give you pointers? Li Man said temptingly.

Xiao Wu shook his head slightly, "I don't want to." “

It was a royal place, but the people who studied there were either princes or nobles, so he didn't want to rely on connections to go in to study.

Li Man felt that something was wrong with this child, and the good things that others couldn't think of were so bad that he didn't want them.

After experiencing the last time, she didn't know what to do with him, so she just said, "Okay, when your eldest brother comes back, you can tell him yourself." ”

She didn't want to care about it, she couldn't manage it anyway.

Seeing her disappointed look, Xiao Wu was very frustrated and almost gave up, wanting to tell her that he would go to school as long as she was happy.

However, Li Man didn't look at him again, just touched the two children, the little clothes were soaked with sweat, turned around and took out two clean clothes from the wardrobe, and helped the children change them on.

Xiao Wu stood for a while, feeling bored, so he left silently.

As soon as he left, Li Man didn't pretend to be busy, and stared at the door in a daze.

Xiao Wu, this kid has something on his mind, so he still talks to Li Mo when he goes back.

I changed the children's clothes, and Shangguan Xue also freshened up and came to her side together.

As soon as they came, Shangguan Xue and Tian Ningying rushed to play with the children, and Yunyan stood aside crampedly, looking at Li Man's children with a look of envy in their eyes.

"Sister Yun, you want to hug too, right? Here you go. Shangguan Xue hugged Dabao to Yunyan.

Dabao doesn't recognize life, anyone wants to hug it, and when he heard Shangguan Xue's words, he waved his little arms happily like clouds.

Yun Yan hurriedly stretched out her hand to hug it, but as soon as her fingers touched the child's clothes, her expression changed suddenly, she shrank back in a panic, and the whole person retreated several steps in a row.

"No, that, I'm not going to hold a baby."

Shangguan Xue felt that her actions were a little excessive, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I didn't dare to hug it before, but Dabao is very well-behaved and easy to hug." ”

"No, I'll just watch you hug it." Yunyan took a step back, but he didn't dare to hug it.

Li Man looked at it in her eyes, and wondered in her heart, Yunyan likes children, she can see it from her eyes, and she wanted to hug it at first, but suddenly she didn't dare to hug it.

It stands to reason that it's just a child, what's the big deal?

But Yunyan's attitude is really suspicious.

I probably felt that I was reacting to the pot, and Yunyan explained embarrassedly, "I'm sweating on my body, I'm afraid of smoking the child." ”

"Heh, it's really hot today, why haven't they come back yet, I'll take a look." Li Man diverted the topic, got up and walked towards the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw Li Yan, Li Mo and others entering the courtyard together, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Why did you come back? Hot, right? ”

"It's fine." The brothers all smiled at Li Man, it turned out that they had only met at the door.

"You go back to the house and wash your face first, I have something to say to my eldest brother." Li Man grabbed Li Mo, and then said to a few others.

"What's that?" Li Shu was curious.

"It's Xiao Wu's business." Li Man didn't hide it, but said, "You guys go back to the house first, Xue'er and they are here, and they will let people set the meal later." ”

After speaking, he pulled Li Mo to the shaded grape trellis.

"Big brother, Xiao Wu didn't go to Guozijian today."

When Li Mo heard this, his face did not change, but his eyes were a little evasive.

Seeing him like this, Li Man guessed a little, and asked in surprise, "Do you know this?" ”

"Hmm." Li Mo nodded lightly, "In the morning, Zhang Jing said to send someone to send him over, but he won't go." ”

"Why? Why don't you care about him and just let him go? Li Man was busy cleaning up the guys in the kitchen in the morning, and he didn't know about it.

"Man'er, let him do it." Li Mo said embarrassedly.

"Why? Weren't you happy before? Besides, what a rare opportunity. Li Man grabbed his arm and questioned very puzzled.

Li Mo looked at her apologetically, "Man'er, Xiao Wu, he probably thinks that he can go to the Guozijian this time because of the relationship between the prince, so-"

"Didn't he think we were embarrassed to go through the back door?" Li Man asked angrily.

"That's about it." Li Mo sighed lightly, and then persuaded Li Man, "Xiao Wu, this kid has a heavy heart, he saw that you went to the prince's mansion early in the morning, and he felt very awkward." ”

Li Man's eyebrows jumped, "He shouldn't think that I went to the Prince's Mansion to let him go to study and make a deal with the Prince?" ”

"Hmm." Li Mo nodded.

Li Man's face turned red and he was angry, "Bastard boy, what am I now." ”

Go to him and settle the score.

"Man'er, don't blame him." Li Mo hurriedly grabbed her.

Li Man shook him off, "Don't blame him, blame you." Can't you just make it clear to him? He doesn't understand a child, don't you understand either? Going to the Prince's Mansion has nothing to do with his study. It's just that a lot of things are unclear, and I just want to return the favor. ”

Li Mo saw that she was emotional, so he instinctively hugged her.

There's no way, don't look at Li Manren's small nature, she starts her temper like a little lion, if you don't control her, I don't know what.

"You let me go, I have to talk to that kid." Li Man struggled in his arms.

"Man'er, calm down and listen to me." Li Mo didn't dare to try too hard, for fear of strangling her, but he didn't dare to relax completely, for fear that she would really run to Xiao Wu to settle accounts, and once this matter started, it would be even more difficult to end.

Li Man struggled for a while, couldn't escape, but he was tired and sweated again, leaning on his arms and panting.

"Okay, you say, I see what you have to say."

She glared at him with red eyes.

Thinking about Xiao Wu's child, she thought that she was going to make a deal, and her heart was cold.

Could it be that she is such a woman in their eyes?

Li Mo wrapped his long arms around her, looked at her reddened eyes, and felt even more sorry in his heart, "Man'er, actually, I thought about it later, and I thought it would be better if Xiao Wu didn't go." ”

"What?" Li Manliu raised his eyebrows.

Li Mo hurriedly said, "Think about it, who are the people studying there, I'm afraid that Xiao Wu will be bullied." ”

Before, he didn't know that the palace was a place for princes and nobles to study, but then he heard from the fourth brother, and he felt that something was wrong.

Those people have noble status, their eyes are above the top, and what is even more terrifying is that ordinary people are so desperate in their eyes that almost without thinking about it, he can guess how a civilian boy like Xiao Wu will be treated there.

Li Man was slightly stunned, "Just because of this, you agree that he won't go to school?" ”

"No, you can also read at home, Xiao Wu, he is good at learning now, I asked the fourth brother, and he said that he has grown up very quickly." Li Mo hurriedly coaxed his daughter-in-law and said.

Li Man looked at him and smiled bitterly, "No matter how smart he is, he can't be self-taught." You're afraid that he will be bullied, and you think I'm not afraid. However, after all, he was recommended by the crown prince, and I think others will be more or less jealous. Besides, he just went to audit, and came back after class, so he didn't have to play with those noble children. Regardless of what others do, we can do it ourselves. ”

"But ......" Li Mo felt that his daughter-in-law's words were also reasonable, and he was powerless to refute them.

Li Man looked at him and said seriously, "Big brother, I'm not a snob, it's not that if you let Xiao Wu study, you will have to take the top prize and become a big official or something in the future." Do you think, the masters of the country, they can teach the prince and the children of the nobles, this knowledge must be top-notch, if we Xiaowu can learn from such a gentleman, what a great creation. Even if you can't learn, it's good to be enlightened. Maybe it will inspire him in the future. If we don't let him learn just because he might be bullied, that's really hurting him. ”

"Man'er, I'm not good." Looking at Li Man's sincere eyes, Li Mo was completely defeated, and felt that his daughter-in-law was thoughtful, how could he let him give up such a good opportunity because he felt sorry for his brother being bullied.

Besides, if you want to grow into a man, you will inevitably suffer some setbacks, and for now, let him go to school, which is not a setback at all.

If it was left on him when he was a child, let alone going to Guozijian to study, or going to a private school in the town, even if the road was full of thorns, as long as there was that opportunity, he would go.

But he didn't have this opportunity, but Xiao Wu did.

With such a good opportunity, how can you not go because of a little timidity.

The more Li Mo thought about it, the more he felt that he was dizzy, and he actually indulged Xiao Wu.

"It's just that you're not good." Seeing him compromise, Li Man's emotions relaxed, and his voice softened, "So, this matter will be settled by you, forget it today, if he doesn't go to study tomorrow, you can watch it." ”

"Don't worry, he won't go tomorrow, I'll deliver it personally." Li Mo assured.

"Well, that's my good husband." Li Man stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the face, and then, taking his hand, said, "It's weird hot here, let's go back to the house quickly, I'm hungry." ”

"Didn't eat at the Prince's Mansion?" Li Mo was curious.

"I ate, but eating with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is easy to indigestion, so I eat less." Li Man said with a smile.

The two went back to the house together.

Xiao Wu also flashed out from behind the door, looking at the grape trellis, his eyes were stunned.

He listened to the conversation between the eldest brother and Man'er just now, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

He knew that they were for his good, but because of this kind of good arrangement for him, he felt very awkward, and he couldn't help but want to resist.

However, it is obviously useless to resist, the eldest brother has promised it, and it seems that this study will definitely have to go tomorrow.

"Little Wu, what are you doing standing stupidly? It's time to eat. ”

Suddenly, Tian Ningying came out and shouted when she saw him.

Xiao Wu said 'oh' and turned into the room to eat with everyone.

After lunch and coaxing the children to take a nap, Li Man took Yunyan into the kitchen together.

The small kitchen is ventilated from north to south, and when the windows on both sides are opened, it is cool.

"Let's make some juice first, put it in the ice cubes for a while, and when the big brother and they get up from a nap, they can drink it." Li Man first washed all kinds of fruits.

Tian Ningying looked at her and smiled, "Sister-in-law, if you spoil your cousins like this, you will spoil them." ”

"Where am I spoiled? You don't drink these juices? Li Man glanced at her with a smile and said, "I'll send someone to send some to the eldest uncle later." ”

"Sister-in-law is so nice." Tian Ningying immediately boasted.

Shangguan Xue only stood aside, looking at the two fat fish swimming around in the wooden basin in a daze, "Sister, how can this fish be cooked delicious?" ”

"It's delicious no matter how you burn it, depending on your taste, do you like steamed, braised or boiled...... Anyway, there are many ways to cook fish. Li Man washed the fruit, handed it to Yunyan for juice, wiped his hands, walked to Shangguan Xue's side, and asked with a smile, "Want to eat fish?" Sister will do it for you at night. ”

"Well, just do the one you made last time, what is it called sauerkraut fish." Shangguan Xue said excitedly.

Li Man frowned slightly, "Didn't you eat much last time?" Too spicy? ”

Shangguan Xue's face was slightly red, and she said softly, "I can eat a little spicy now, you can teach me to do this first." ”
