Eighteen years of Jianliang, early spring.

There is a three-entry mansion near Hanlin Garden in the east of the capital, which occupies a small area, but it is fine everywhere, and the layout is particularly comfortable and clear.

Shortly after noon, the originally clean streets and alleys suddenly became lively, and the noisy movement of gongs and drums outside could be faintly heard.

"Old lady, old lady, the second master is overjoyed!"

A shout of joy passed through the hall, like a soul.

In the main hall of the inner courtyard, Xia Chu, who was originally a little drowsy, was suddenly startled, and she was already sitting unsteadily, which almost scared her to the ground. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and a maid with eyes quietly helped her beside her, so she didn't make a fool of herself in public.

At the beginning of the summer, I sat down, but I didn't feel sleepy at the moment, I rubbed my eyes, my cheeks were red, and it was clear that I had just woken up.

You can also doze off while sitting, how sleepy are you?

Xia Xue's eyelids jumped, her hand trembled slightly, and the tip of the wolf pen full of ink fell a drop of ink, but she fainted on the fine rice paper, and painted the "Diamond Sutra" that had been written more than half of it with a thick black, which was extremely ugly.

In vain, she spent this beautiful hairpin flower Xiaokai.

Xia Bangqiu, who was trembling and reciting the scriptures, subconsciously paused, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at the grandmother in the upper seat.

Although she has the attribute of a scholar, one glance and ten lines are the basic functions, but she can't afford to hurt herself when she was born in a family of poetry and books! It's actually a bit of a shame to say this, and I'm very sorry for my grandmother who took care of her a lot in the past, but she hasn't had time to study the Buddhist scriptures yet!

Liu's eyes swept lightly over the three granddaughters, and the sound of good news outside the door was loud, but her face was still sad and joyless, as if she hadn't heard anything.

"Xue'er, your heart is not quiet, so you are easily affected by foreign objects." Liu's words were serious, and he first talked about his eldest granddaughter, and his sharp gaze turned to another: "Bang Qiu, how did you memorize this scripture today?" ”

Liu's voice was light and light, but it seemed to contain great power, which shocked the two little girls to be restrained. Xia Xue, who was dressed in a lake-blue satin silk skirt, was always obedient, and hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "My granddaughter knows that she is wrong." ”

"Granddaughter ......" Another object of accusation, Xia Bangqiu's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

How do you explain it? Obviously, she read through the whole text and remembered every word clearly, but she always memorized it smoothly and had no charm at all.

In the end, it is because I don't respect the gods and Buddhas in my heart.

In these years, it is not easy to memorize a scripture for my grandmother's respect and filial piety.

racked his brains to think of excuses, and suddenly remembered that Wen Yu said in the morning that he kicked the quilt at night, Xia Bangqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly explained: "Grandmother, I'm ...... I didn't sleep well last night, I had a cold, and my head was groggy, so I ......"

"That's the case, looking at your body, it's a lot weaker, maybe the cold from the water up and down is not getting better." Liu's forehead signaled to her that she didn't need to say anything, her eyebrows were full of love, and she said thoughtfully: "Since you are sick, you can go back and rest!" Grandmother, here are your eldest sister and third sister! Let the girl go to find a doctor to see, this spring is cold, and it is not fun to have a wind. ”

He turned his head to look at the grandmother beside him: "Go back and find some medicinal herbs to send to the second lady." ”

"It's all granddaughters who are not good, and the tired grandmother is worried." There is a trace of guilt in my heart, and it is always not good to make up nonsense and deceive people. But she couldn't help it, Xia Bangqiu sighed in her heart, and said gratefully: "Thank you grandmother for giving you medicine." ”

"Go ahead!" Liu waved her hand and ordered her to step down.

Somehow, Xia Bangqiu was a little apprehensive and a little panicked, and it was very uncomfortable. The lips opened and closed slightly, hesitating as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. Peeping at Liu's face several times, he hesitated and refused to move. It wasn't until Liu's eyes gradually became displeased, as if he was saying, "Why don't you leave", that he bit his lip and left without saying a word.

Looking at the thin back of the girl walking away, a trace of disappointment flashed in Liu's eyes.

What kind of person is Liu, how can he not tell whether Xia Bangqiu is a real illness or a fake illness?

When he came clearly, he still had a ruddy face and was full of energy, but he suddenly fell ill, who would believe it?

He also said that he didn't sleep well at night and caught a cold - did the maid who kept watch the night?

didn't poke her, but she was too lazy to bother with the same child.

So why bother? Left and right are just a boring thing.

"Xue'er, grandmother punished you for copying the Diamond Sutra five times, are you willing?" Liu commanded his eldest granddaughter in his mouth, but his eyes swept over the third-ranked granddaughter. The child didn't seem to wake up, as if he didn't know what was going on, he looked dazed and innocent, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The second child has always been stupid and stupid, and the two sons he gave birth to are not like him, but this little girl is very similar to him!

Xia Xue nodded and promised: "It's the granddaughter's, it's not it, and she should admit punishment." ”

Liu smiled with satisfaction.

Liu's eldest daughter-in-law, Wu, is in charge of Zhongfang, and there are many things to be busy every day, and the younger daughter-in-law has been unwell recently, so the two went back to the house after asking for peace. Two granddaughters-in-law, an followed the eldest grandson Xia Xuan to take office, the second granddaughter-in-law Xiao Wu is Wu's niece, she has always loved to follow her mother-in-law, so she didn't ask her to stay, Xiao Wu's Wen brother is only four years old, it is the age of sticky, and naturally he took it away.

Leaving only three granddaughters in front of him, this is another one.

But the rest of the big one and one small, the big one is intimate and sensible, the small one is ignorant and cute, and he is not afraid of being depressed.

"Go and ask, what's the matter?" Slightly sideways to Mama Lu beside her, she saw her go respectfully, but turned around to see Xia Xue looking out curiously.

Although the eldest daughter-in-law teaches thoroughly, in the end, the eldest granddaughter is young, and she can't be happy and angry.

is the youngest Xia Chu, who is still a little unconscious, obviously it is her second room, but she is at a loss.

"It's not too early today, so you two children should go back first!" Liu Shi showed two signs of fatigue on his face, rubbed his eyebrows, and said to the two girls. Originally, I wanted to leave the eldest granddaughter to teach it personally, but there was obviously something wrong with this meeting, and it was related to the younger son, so it seemed that it was not possible, so I let them disperse.

Xia Xue took the lead, got up and blessed the Liu family, and left a sentence softly and slowly: "Granddaughter Ming'er will come to talk to her grandmother again." Then he led the maid out of the door of the inner hall.

At the beginning of the summer, he did the same, but his voice was more immature, and he said blankly: "Grandmother, granddaughter will come back tomorrow." ”

After speaking, her eyes were half-closed, and she was drowsy and almost helped her out by the maid pulling and pulling.

Seeing that the two children disappeared, Liu drove the little girls to the yard to play, and then said to the henchman Gu Mama beside him: "Since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the child has become more and more unruly. ”

Teenage girls don't know where so many hearts come from.

Thinking that if you want to stop talking, someone will definitely ask?

Joke, if that's the case, how many things will she have to worry about? Can you live this age in peace?

I've been annoyed to death for a long time!

When Mama Gu heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Liu's face, and saw that although she was displeased, she didn't seem to be angry.

It's just complaining, right?

She pondered for a moment before she said, "Why don't you go back and talk to the eldest lady, is it time to ask the girls for a nurturing mother?" After all, the eldest lady is already engaged, and the third lady is also older. ”

Mama Gu is Liu's confidant and her maid in marriage, and she has been with Liu's for almost a lifetime.

Because of this, she also knows very well what kind of person her young lady is.

What Liu values most is nothing more than the word rules.

Xia Bangqiu is also the master no matter how unruly she is, that is not the person she can beak, so she did not echo Liu's words in her words, and she didn't even mention a few words about the second miss.

The eldest lady and the third lady all said it, and the middle one was missed.

What does that mean...... Nature speaks for itself.
