Chapter 119, Moving Stones and Throwing Feet
The eldest lord Mu Qian was in the outer courtyard, and he casually taught his son and nephew homework, and only the starling was not good at school, so he didn't answer. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info took advantage of the time when his father and second uncle were playing chess, and went back to the upper room of the inner courtyard in a huff.
Although the starling did not complain to his mother, the eldest lady still knew it quickly, her face couldn't help but sink, and she didn't have the intention of taking a nap, but took a few snacks and went to her son's house to comfort her.
The fourth sister also heard about this from Tian's mother, but she didn't care, "Mother is really, my father just asked casually, and the test is not the knowledge of books." Doesn't the master who learns from the family often praise the eighth brother for being smart, and the mother just dotes on the eighth brother too much! Mu Yu's words naturally did not say it in front of Tian's mother, but complained to his personal maid Jinlan.
"The eighth young master is young, and the eldest lady is also biased. But in the eyes of the slave maid, among the young masters and young ladies, the eldest master and the eldest lady are the most painful and the fourth young lady! Speaking of her father's love, the fourth sister looked proud, touched the jade bracelet on her wrist with her hand, and her heart was warm.
After appeasing her son, the eldest lady went back to the upper room and took off the disguise on her face, "Nurse, help me think of a way, I can't let Brother Jiu'er go to the county to study anymore, if it goes on like this, maybe Brother Jiu'er's homework will surpass Brother Starling!" ”
In the eyes of the eldest lady, she has always believed that her son is the best, but in the past few months, although the starling has also made a lot of progress, every time he compares with the ninth brother, he is one section worse. In the long run, Brother Jiu'er's achievements in the future may be higher than Brother Starling's, which is something that the eldest lady is not happy to see.
"At the beginning, the Ninth Young Master went to the county school after being punished, or the lady would talk to the master, this punishment has also been punished, and it is not good to continue to be punished like this!" There is no better way for the nurse, the ninth brother is making rapid progress in his studies now, even if the eldest lady uses this as an excuse, I am afraid that the master will not agree. But she can't help but make an accident, otherwise there will be no need for her to exist by the side of the eldest lady.
"I'm afraid this won't work, right?" The eldest lady is angry, but she is not so angry that she is confused, seeing that the ninth brother has studied well in the county school, looking for such an excuse that does not hurt or itch, I am afraid that the master will not respond. "If you want the master to agree, you must grasp the fault of the ninth brother, and it is best to let him make a big mistake in the county school and lose the face of the shogunate, so that I can also speak well and trap people in the mansion!"
The eldest lady's words reminded the nurse that although they are official eunuchs, they can't find a proper person if they want to do anything in the county school, but it is very easy to do something on the way to and from school.
The nurse had an idea, leaned over and whispered a few words beside the eldest lady. "Well, this is a good idea, if Brother Jiu'er can really have a dispute with others and then make a move, this is a taboo for the master. As long as I do it again, I will be able to make it happen. However, the county school will not resume classes until the fifteenth day of the first month, and this period is cheaper for him! ”
It's just that the eldest lord asked casually, but his son didn't answer for a while, and the eldest lady actually moved to harm the concubine again. The poison of his heart is really the anger of people and gods. And although Mu Chenxue reminded the ninth brother to be more careful with the eldest lady, he never thought that this person would move his mind outside the shogunate.
In the evening, the family sat in the side hall of the upper room and ate the reunion dinner, during the banquet, the eldest lady covered it up very well, and only inadvertently, she looked at the ninth brother with a cold gaze. Although her movements were very subtle, there were so many people at the same table, except for Mu Chenxue, no one noticed it. And the reason why Mu Chenxue is so sensitive to the eldest lady's every move is because she cares too much.
couldn't help frowning, it seems that what happened in the outer courtyard this morning still caused the dissatisfaction of the eldest lady, and the ninth brother was only afraid that he would be in trouble. glanced at the mother next to her again, and I have to remind my mother about this matter, lest the eldest lady can't hold the fault of the ninth brother, but is not the one who came to find Aunt Cheng.
A lively reunion dinner, everyone ate with a smile. Only the curtain morning snow is the same as chewing wax, and the food is tasteless. The old man stopped the chopsticks, and everyone didn't dare to eat anymore, so they removed the table, served tea and snacks, and the family sat together and began to observe the New Year.
"Father, it's not interesting to sit like this, why don't you ask the eldest brother to take us to play the 'Flying Flower Order'?" The fourth sister is the most impatient and unwilling to sit like this.
"What do you think of Peng'er?" The eldest son has passed the age of the crown, and now he has the fame of Xiucai, although Mu Qian is his father, he does not want to embarrass his son.
"The fourth sister has a heart, I should accompany her!" His own sister-in-law's proposal, Mu Peng naturally would not object. I just glanced at the eighth brother with some worry, the morning's incident has just passed, if the eighth brother makes a fool of himself in front of so many people at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to get up and down, and I will cry a lot.
The fourth sister just wanted to show off her homework in front of her parents, and she also wanted to save some face for the eighth brother, but she didn't think much about it. As soon as the words came out, seeing the worry on his mother's face, even the eldest brother was not very happy, and then he realized that he was wrong. But the words have been spoken, so I have to do it head-on.
"Starling is tired of sitting, why don't you go out with Mother Tian to step on the New Year?" The eldest lady was bent on relieving her son, if the idea was proposed by the third sister or the fifth sister, she could also reprimand her, but it was her daughter who proposed it, so she had to wronged the younger son and find an excuse for him to leave the table.
Where is the starling willing to do this, this is not clear to tell others that he is not good at school, he can't play the "Flying Flower Order", he bends his neck and holds his back, and refuses to leave anything.
"Madam, it's just the children having fun, we just look happy, since the starling doesn't want to go out, you can let him!" How many pounds and taels does his son have, how can the eldest man not know, but he thinks that these are just games, and they are not real knowledge, so they can't be counted.
The eldest lord said so, and the eldest lady had to pretend to smile and nod in response, "Then Peng'er will be the commander of this order!" "According to his identity and age, it is just right for Mu Peng to be an official, and Mu Peng will not embarrass Starling. Sure enough, Makupeng's requirements are very simple, as long as there are flowers in the verses.
Starling was full of confidence when he heard it, although he had never played this "Flying Flower Order", but he had heard the fourth sister say, and since his enlightenment, he has also memorized a lot of poems about flowers, in addition to the eldest brother and the second cousin, he is ranked third according to his identity, so that he can hold on for at least a few rounds.
Starling thought very simply, but when he really compared it, he realized that what he could do, others would too, just one round, and all the verses he knew would be told by others. In a hurry, his face turned red, and beads of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose.
The second round has begun, Mu Peng pinched it and said it casually, and when it came to Mu Yu, he said it without thinking about it, but when he got to Starling, he stopped. The eldest lady was so anxious that she twisted the towel with her hand. Even the fourth sister was a little anxious. If the eighth brother loses in the second round, and the ninth brother comes out, how good will it be. (To be continued.) )
