Zhou Fuxiang and Qiao'er were puzzled, so they smiled and said, "I don't know what my father wants?" ”

Master Zhou got up and patted Zhou Fuxiang's shoulder, thinking about Meng Tingfang's words that day, he seemed to be relieved and sighed, and sighed with a wistful smile: "I am not talented in my life, and I didn't get such an only son as you until I was confused. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was six years old, I asked Mr. to teach you to recognize the number and write Shun Zhuer. I am glad that you are a person who fights for energy, and in the end you have added glory to your ancestors. I didn't want you to refer to this township test, one is far away, and the other is that as Meng Xianggong said, the turmoil in the city is only afraid of harming the innocent. It's just that this neighborhood is looking at our house all around, and I can't hide you, since you said that schoolwork is also limited, then this time it's just to go out for a walk. If you want to test your fame, you have to wait another three or five years. ”

Zhou Fuxiang was silent, Qiao'er was also inconvenient to speak, and the room was quiet for a while. Outside the study, the cicadas are singing loudly, the bamboo is green, and the oblique shadow is slowly sprinkled on the window screen, which is like a mood.

Although Zhou Fuxiang admits that he is not a person who is greedy for fame, he has been studying for a long time and is talented at a young age, so he is inevitably a little uninhibited. What's more, roaming with his classmates and friends that day, when everyone talked about the injustice of the imperial examination, he had a thought, determined to compete in the examination room and raise the morale of the literati. Unexpectedly, Master Zhou made him give up the idea of taking the exam a little bit today, and he didn't feel depressed in his chest.

Both of them sat there with their heads down, Master Zhou naturally understood what the two of them thought, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's still so childish, I'm just talking like this, who knows what will happen after that day, and besides, although you are smart, there are more intelligent than you, how do you know that I am not unfounded?" One or two of them drooped their faces, so that your mother could see it, and thought that I had criticized you again, and had to nag in my ear. After coming out for such a while, it's time to go back and read the book. ”

Zhou Fuxiang hurriedly got up with Qiao'er and said yes, and then came out of Master Zhou's study together. Along the way, he whispered: "Do you say that the city is really going to change, scientific research is the foundation of national politics, and now people are panicking." ”

Qiao'er thought of the two princes of Heguo, who lived in the countryside, and thought that what Meng Tingfang said that day was true, but it was not good to talk to Zhou Fuxiangming, so he said in a low voice: "The first emperor is blessed with Mianzuo, and he has been in the storage position for many years, and he has been on the throne for five years, so I am afraid that he is older than our master." I have also heard that diligence and encouragement of government, the world can not be seen at a glance, and the things of the world are also difficult to explain, if it is said that it is affected by this, it is reasonable that the body is not good, if it is said that the city changes, it may not be. ”

"Do you think so too?" Zhou Fuxiang smiled warmly, turned his head sideways and said, "It's the same as what I saw." ”

Qiao'er smiled, noncommittal, and still returned to the Green Washing Pavilion with him, only reading books every day. Time flies like a white horse, and soon it is the beginning of August, Mrs. Zhou is worried because she heard some words from Master Zhou, and she personally brought someone to make some clothes, hats, covers, food and other things for Zhou Fuxiang, and prepared the blue and curtain for the end. After asking who was following Zhou Fuxiang from the outside faction, Qingping replied with a smile: "The two long-term followers of the faction, the two little servants, and the two daughters-in-law." ”

Mrs. Zhou asked who the eldest follower was, who the little maid was, and whose daughter-in-law and mother-in-law belonged to her, and Qingping replied one by one: "One of the two elders is Uncle Zheng Yue, the elder brother of the elder brother, and the other is Huo Zhenhuo, the third master of the second gate. There are also two little guys, who are the fourth son Wu'er who is closely followed by the brother, Lu'er is young and naughty, and he doesn't dare to let him go out, for fear of right and wrong. When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she nodded in agreement and ordered her to continue.

Qingping said: "There are also two daughters-in-law, one from Uncle Zheng's family and the other from Huo Sanye's family, both of whom are very old. Brother's change of washing all the way can be taken care of by them. ”

Mrs. Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "This is not appropriate. ”

Qingping hurriedly said, "What's wrong, Mrs., please tell me." ”

Mrs. Zhou said: "Since the four of them are husband and wife, they must be tired of being together if they get rid of our eyes. If you think about it again, let's send someone else. ”

Qingping smiled as if embarrassed: "How good is this, my brother's nurse Mother Deng just contracted the wind cold before, and I was afraid that I would pass on to my brother, so I went home early in the morning to recuperate." The others are young and don't know the details, so they are not as careful as this family-raised person. ”

Mrs. Zhou listened to her head and head is the way, well-organized, both love and pain, took Qingping's hand and patted it and smiled: "Good boy, it's hard for you to think so thoughtfully, it's better than the tangerines of the day." In fact, I have some things in my heart, but I am afraid that you will not say it, and I have never mentioned it. ”

Qingping has a clever heart, and when she heard her say this, she vaguely understood, and still smiled: "Mrs. doesn't treat the slave and maid as an outsider, and the slave and maid are too late to be grateful, so what else is there to refuse, Mrs. just say it." ”

Mrs. Zhou liked it even more, so she said: "I think since others are not at ease, it is better for you to go with your brother, and then bring Mingyue in my brother's room, she is also an old and serious child, Su Xi has her on my brother's side I don't know how much worry I have saved." Although I am separated from you here, I will inevitably mediate inappropriately for a while, but as long as my brother's side is good, I will be content. You see, does this make it? ”

Seeing that what she said was the same as she expected, and it was not a big deal, she smiled and agreed, and said that she was afraid that she would not be able to afford it. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said that she couldn't find a suitable person anymore, so she asked Qingping to go to Xuhui Court to call Mingyue. Qingping hadn't gone far yet, and Mrs. Zhou remembered another person here, and hurriedly asked people to stop her. Sydney Red Sakura shouted behind her that Sister Qingping came back, Qingping had just walked away, and when she heard the call behind her, she had to turn back and laugh into the house and say, "What else does Mrs. command?" ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled: "There is nothing else, just ask you, why didn't Brother Qiao follow?" ”

Apple asked, secretly thinking that Qiao'er was originally a girl's family, and although she pretended to be a boy every day, she went back at night, but she never showed her feet. If he followed Zhou Fuxiang out to catch the exam at this time, the two of them played well, and it was inevitable that they would sleep and eat together on the road, in case Zhou Fuxiang saw the traces, it would be bad. euphemistically refused for her: "My brother's family still has three or four acres of land to be busy, and his grandmother needs to take care of him, so I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." ”

Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said: "If that's not the case, he doesn't have three or four acres of land there today, and he didn't usually say that he was asked to go back to help, as for Grandma Liu, when she came earlier, she looked at her body and bones were still very strong, unlike the elderly and frail people, and there was no reason to ask him to take care of it." Don't tell him this first, don't you want to call Mingyue to come, just call my brother along the way, just say that I asked him to bring some things back to grandma. ”

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, Qingping nodded helplessly, and went to Xuhui Court to find Mingyue and Qiao'er. Because there are outsiders on her side, it is inconvenient for Apple to say more, so she only thinks about how to help her get rid of this errand later.

When they arrived at Mrs. Zhou's door, the three of them went in front and back, Mrs. Zhou smiled and asked Mingyue a few words about the maids, whether they were stealing their mouths, etc., so she turned the conversation around and wrote lightly: "I called you not for anything else, just to see that you are a child who knows the rules and regulations, and you have always been careful in things. ”

Mingyue hurriedly said: "It's arranged, after my brother leaves, we only work in the house every day, if there are people who go to each room to find sisters to play, we will say it in advance, in case we can't find anyone." At night, after Aunt Guo inspected, she closed the courtyard door, and the key was still placed here for me, so that they could sleep early, lest people say that the uncle was not in the house and turned the sky, but it was not ours. ”

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "You think very well, it's just that don't put the key in your place, just give it to Danyang, I have other things to assign to you here." Brother goes out without a person who knows the cold and the heat, I think you have always taken care of it carefully, it is better to ask you to go with us Qingping, and the companions on the road can take care of the uncle and take care of each other. ”

Mingyue was still thinking about this matter yesterday, and now she was in the middle of it, so she smiled and agreed, and stepped aside. Mrs. Zhou looked at Qiao'er again and said, "How is my brother's family doing?" ”

Qiao'er smiled: "It's all good at home." ”

Mrs. Zhou said, "So, are you still living at your grandmother's house these days?" ”

Qiao'er nodded and said yes, Mrs. Zhou smiled, beckoned him to come closer, rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "Good boy, I just said that I would send something to your grandmother I lied to you, I am afraid that if I tell the truth, my brother will not study seriously, and he will come with him." Since you are here at this moment, I will tell you, I called you to see that you and your brother are like brothers, you are young and steady, and you are as distressing as my child, so I thought it would be better for you to accompany your brother to Beijing to catch the exam. On the way, I told them to treat you like a brother, you only need to read and write with your brother every day, can you see it? ”

Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, and it was the same as Qingping thought, if she wanted to go, she would have to sleep and eat together, not to mention whether she would show her feet, relying on her heart alone, she definitely couldn't do anything bad about men and women sleeping together, and her intuition was about to politely decline, and she hurriedly said: "I'm afraid I can't do it, and my grandmother at home can't talk about it, so I can't leave." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled when she heard this: "Fang Cai Qingping also told me so, I just said that I don't believe it, and you came to coax me again." It's not easy for your grandmother to say it, if you can't say it, I'll call someone to talk to her. If you are worried about the acres of farming, there are two idle people in our village, and it is also okay to ask them to help your family, what else is wrong with brother? (To be continued.)
