Chapter 179: Companion Reading

Du Xiaoxi was led by the maid to the living room to sit down, Mu Lian took her newborn son over and took a turn, knowing that they had something to talk about, so she left after a pleasant greeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When Shang Qing arrived, Du Xiaoxi was directing the small servants in the house to lift the cement off the car and put it in a row on the gorgeous stall specially purchased from Beichang at a high price.

"What are these things?" Shang Qing asked, looking at a few strangely colored things on the ground.

Du Xiaoxi glanced up at his senior brother, and saw the whiskers on his mouth and felt spicy eyes.

In ancient times, men had to grow beards when they were thirty, and the princes of the emperor's family in the palace had white skin and tender flesh in order to distinguish themselves from the white-faced and beardless eunuchs, and they grew beards early.

Du Xiaoxi doesn't like old men who pretend to be mature at all, and little fresh meat is true love.

It's really hard to imagine what Liu Yao would look like if he also had a beard, and he couldn't talk at all when he kissed, so he felt that he must have seduced and lured the old man!

Du Xiaoxi's thoughts flew back, and he walked to a few pieces of cement with tea and explained: "This is the cement mentioned by Master not long ago, and now that it has been made, I thought that Senior Brother would definitely be useful and sent it over." ā€

Seeing that Shang Qing was puzzled, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly explained: "These pieces are cement, made of water, sand and stones, and they will be very hard after they are done, and the most important thing is that they are waterproof!" As he spoke, Du Xiaoxi poured the water from the tea bowl on one of the pieces of cement.

In the eyes of everyone, the tea flowed down the cement plane to the carpet, leaving only a few watermarks on the cement.

Seeing that everyone's eyes lit up, Du Xiaoxi continued: "This cement is very easy to use, it is okay to build bridges, pave roads, and make embankments, and except for using some slaked lime and glutinous rice, all that is left is water, sand and stones, and it doesn't cost anything at all." ā€

As Du Xiaoxi talked more and more, the discussion began to face up to the few things on the ground that seemed to be stones and not stones.

If the effect is good and it doesn't cost anything, it's really good.

Du Xiaoxi said that his mouth was dry, and he saw that the senior brother and the two strategists next to him were already full of interest at this time around a few pieces of cement and moved their hands and feet, you touch it, I will step on it, and the last one also learned Du Xiaoxi poured a large cup of tea.

The three of them repeatedly determined that these cements could not be stepped on, chopped, hammered, and soaked through, and they couldn't help but laugh one by one.

With this kind of thing, there will be no need to worry about the embankments everywhere, and if the roads are paved, the laborers in various places will not have to rest the potholed official roads washed by the rain every year, so how much labor can be saved.

Seeing the three of them smiling, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly made a summary, "Master said that the people of Donglin Mansion are too bitter, so I thought about making cement, Master is really compassionate!" Du Xiaoxi sang praises to the master who didn't know where he was, and was accustomed to pushing the cement matter on the master.

Du Xiaoxi knows her own family affairs, whether she is making glasses to cure jaundice or making cement, the reason why she can do it is not how capable she is, but because these are all things that she personally experienced in her previous life and happened around her, so she knows. If you say anything about real ability, Du Xiaoxi can say without modesty: No!

Du Xiaoxi is not yet thirty years old, and she can live for at least forty or fifty years. Since ancient times, how early the emperor died, pessimistic Du Xiaoxi can't imagine that his senior brother hiccups in advance, and the future emperor knows that there is such a person as her who can do this and that, will he force her to do something. I really can't do it when the time comes, and I won't be a dog yet!

Based on this lack of self-confidence, Du Xiaoxi is saving up his strength to put the credit on the master's head.

"Senior brother, this is a specific method for making cement, you go back and give it a try." After speaking, Du Xiaoxi continued: "Tomorrow the children will return to the academy, and Xiaoxi will say goodbye first!" ā€

Du Xiaoxi stood up and saluted and was about to leave, Shang Qing listened to Du Xiaoxi's words and looked up at her, "The stars of my sister's family are eight years old, Kang Jia just lacks a companion to read, so it's starry!" ā€

This evil feudal society!

Du Xiaoxi wants to cry and faint on the toilet!

The prince reads something with him, and she doesn't like it when others are rare. What is Companion Reading? If you say it's good, it's a brother and playmate of the princes and grandchildren, but if it's ugly, it's a minion!

is still a cannon fodder who stands at the forefront when the princes and grandchildren have conflicts, and if something really happens, they are the first to be unlucky!

Du Xiaoxi really didn't expect to send a cement instead, but took his son in!

Du Xiaoxi looked at Shang Qing pitifully and asked, "The stars are still young, can you refuse?" ā€

Shang Qing glanced at Du Xiaoxi's bitter gourd face and asked lightly, "What do you say?" ā€

Du Xiaoxi "......"

When Du Xiaoxi returned home with a bitter face, he saw that his caring and sensible eldest son was directing Xiao Fanfang to bring things back to the academy. There is simply no more intimate baby than his starry family!

Fanxing and Xiao Prosperity saw their mother come back, and the two of them came out together, and Xiao Prosperity opened his mouth to sue, "Mother, I want to bring that red robe, my brother won't let me, mother, look at him!" ā€

The red little Confucian robe Du Xiaoxi knew that when the stars were in the second grade, the academy wore a unified red little Confucian robe. At that time, Xiao Prosperity thought it looked good, and shouted that he wanted one, so the eldest aunt asked the people in the needlework room to make one in the shape of the little Confucian robe of the academy. Xiao Prosperity thought it looked good, and made a new one to wear this year.

Du Xiaoxi pinched Xiao Wangwang's high cheeks, and deliberately said angrily with a straight face: "Just you are naughty, knowing that this dress is the same as that of the B-level senior brothers, you are not allowed to wear it at all, why did you deliberately take it with you?" ā€

Xiao Prosperity shrunk his neck to escape from his mother's claws, and it took a long time to hum and say, "I just like it, I just want to take it!" ā€

"Then you are so capable, clean up yourself and don't look for your brother!"

"You really only like my brother, you don't like me anymore!"

"Isn't it true that the bear child is looking for a fight?"

Helping Xiao Prosperity clean up, Du Xiaoxi took Fanxing and his aunt to say goodbye, and the two went back to the yard together.

Fanxing felt that he was already an adult, and he was really embarrassed to walk hand in hand with his mother, struggling to let go.

Du Xiaoxi deliberately grabbed his sleeve and didn't let go, and said quite sadly: "You two are old one by one, and you are disobedient." ā€

Seeing that her mother was pitiful again, Fanxing obediently let Du Xiaoxi pull her and stop struggling.

"Son, tell you something." Du Xiaoxi paused and continued: "Just now my mother went to your uncle's place, and the second son of your uncle's family is choosing a companion to study, and your uncle wants you to go." Mother thinks it's too dangerous in the palace, so we still can't do it if we don't go. After a few days, you just pretend to be sick and stay at home, okay? I'll go back to the academy later. ā€

Fanxing is not a child, at the beginning of entering the academy, the master talked about the prince of heaven and earth, and at that time he understood that people are different. Just like their classmates together, no matter how good their homework is, some people still laugh at them behind their backs. Even if the children of rich and powerful families beat someone, the master would not say a few words.

As I grew up, I learned more and more about the stars. Many classmates in the Qian family, the Meng family, and the Zhou family academy are faintly polite to him, obviously feeling that they are very good, but they can't be friends because of their different positions at home.

Hearing his mother talk about the children of the uncle's family recruiting companions, Fanxing knew after a circle in his mind that it was Shang Kangjia, the second son of the Nine Emperor Prince Yingwang.

The second son of Princess Shang Kang Jiaying, in addition to her brother-in-law, she also has a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law.

When Du Xiaoxi didn't know it, Uncle Liu had already seen the stitches and taught Fanxing too many things.

The foundation of the Liu family is not deep, and the grandfather is already old, so it is likely that he and his younger brother will not be able to grow up. My father was suppressed in the Hanlin Academy, and he has not been able to rise to the top in recent years. He can only grow up as quickly as possible.

Fanxing tugged on Du Xiaoxi's sleeve and said very seriously: "Mother, I'm going, Liu Zhengyi came to his house in the morning and asked him to be a companion to the children of his uncle's family, and I'm going too, just like we're together!" ā€

The Zhenguo Mansion has now fallen to the Nine Emperor Princes, and the young master of the Zhenguo Mansion naturally went to the Nine Emperor Princes' sons. It is not only to surrender, but also to build a good relationship for the next generation. Liu Zhengyi's cousin made a companion for the eldest son of the Nine Emperor Princes, and Liu Zhengyi was arranged by the family to go to the second son of the Nine Emperor Princes when he was at the right age.

In the morning, when Liu Zhengyi came to talk to him about this incident, he was still sad, but he didn't expect to go down and go together.

Du Xiaoxi stopped abruptly when he heard this.

"Fanxing, you heard my mother say that the palace is not fun at all, if you miss him, just go to his house to find him, you don't need to go with him, huh?"

Du Xiaoxi wanted her son to unite with her, not to take the initiative to go to the palace!

It was said on TV that the palace is synonymous with conspiracy, Du Xiaoxi doesn't want his son to be in danger!

Senior brother has been more and more recognized in recent years, but after all, he lives in the British Palace, outside the palace.

The little princes and grandchildren all studied in the palace, and the senior brother did not have a mother concubine, and followed the master in his early years, and later returned to Kyoto not long after he went out of the palace to build a mansion, and then stayed in the northland snow field for many years. Compared with those princes whose mothers and grandmothers are still there, the power of the senior brother in the palace can be said to be the weakest.

Although there are one or two concubines of the Liu family to take care of them, after all, it is inconvenient and negligent, and it is difficult to say what is really going to happen to a group of children.

Du Xiaoxi thought about the poisonous palace concubine who fell into the water and hit the big-bellied palace concubine while walking, and so on, and shuddered coldly.

Can't think! Can't think!

"Let's not go to the stars, okay? I haven't been able to see my father and brother for a month since I went to the palace, and it's not like in the academy where my mother can go if she wants to see you. Shall we go back to the academy? ā€

Fanxing looked at his mother's somewhat flustered face, shook his head and said firmly, "I'm going!" ā€

"You disobedient bear child!"

was greeted by his mother on the buttocks, and the stars still didn't let go, and the two of them just said that I went back to the yard in silence.

Waiting for Uncle Liu and Liu Yao to come back together, Du Xiaoxi directly took his son to find him.

Du Xiaoxi said that his senior brother asked Xiao Prosperity to be a companion, and Xiao Prosperity immediately said that he must go.

Uncle Liu and Liu Yao were stunned.

Uncle Liu looked at the stars with a relieved face, "Okay! Good! The stars have grown up! ā€

Liu Yao's brows were tangled, and he looked at his son, who pursed his lips and was silent, but finally didn't say anything.

Second Master Liu's officialdom listened to the eldest brother, and when he saw that the eldest brother and grandson were willing to go, he nodded in agreement with the side.

There were five people present, five to one, and Du Xiaoxi was unwilling.

The matter was decided, and Fanxing was going to be Shang Kangjia's companion.

Du Xiaoxi glanced at her son and husband happily, and left on his feet.

If she doesn't leave, she's going to hit the man and the son!

Liu Yao hurriedly followed, and Fanxing hurriedly chased after saying goodbye to the two grandfathers.

Du Xiaoxi turned a blind eye to Liu Yao next to him and went back to the yard by himself. The father and son who were left behind looked at each other and sighed in unison, seeing that it would be a long time to coax like this.

Liu Yao came back with his son and was faced with the door that had been locked from the inside.

Pushed, didn't push. Liu Yao walked to the window familiarly, but the window was also closed.

Seeing that his father didn't open the door, Fanxing sighed and said to the people in the house weakly: "Mother! Open the door, my son is going to starve! I'm so hungry~"

Du Xiaoxi closed the door because Qi Liuyao didn't help her speak, and when she heard her son shouting that he was hungry, she remembered that she just tried to persuade her son not to go because of the matter of accompanying the study, and completely forgot about cooking.

Listening to his son's pitiful cry of hunger, Du Xiaoxi still sighed and opened the door.

Seeing her mother coming out, Fanxing walked directly to the kitchen, and hurriedly followed, "Mother, I want to eat steamed pork ribs, glutinous rice balls, steamed fish, and more spicy!" ā€¦ā€¦ā€

Fanxing followed Du Xiaoxi all the way into the kitchen, and he wanted to eat this and that all the way. Du Xiaoxi didn't show it on his face, but he remembered it all in his heart.

On weekdays, lunch and dinner are mostly made by Du Xiaoxi himself, but today the people in the big kitchen didn't see the young lady to inquire about the size of the family and discuss things. The cook prepared the food for each yard early.

When Du Xiaoxi arrived, dinner was almost the same, so he asked the kitchen to add a glutinous rice ball and beckoned the little girl to carry the rice back.

Seeing that Du Xiaoxi only moved his mouth and didn't use his hands, Fanxing hurriedly said aggrievedly: "My mother's cooking is delicious, but what they make is not delicious." ā€

Du Xiaoxi snorted, "I don't think it's delicious at home!" The imperial kitchen in the palace is delicious, and when you are used to eating the food cooked by the imperial kitchen, I will definitely not be able to swallow what I cook. ā€

Where the hell is this?

Women really like to be vexatious!

There was silence at the dinner table, and Xiao Prosperity, who came back to adjust the atmosphere, ate a bowl of rice less, and went back to the uncle's yard to nibble on a snack.

The night is as cool as water.

Du Xiaoxi turned over and over on the bed irritably. Thinking of the cannibalistic palace, Du Xiaoxi couldn't sleep.

Liu Yao patted Du Xiaoxi on the back and whispered, "Okay, okay, don't worry, since His Royal Highness the Ninth has proposed it, it will definitely ensure the safety of the stars." ā€

"You said it nicely, don't think I don't know, the emperor's more than forty sons have only been a few years and there are more than thirty left. It's so dangerous in the palace, are you willing to let your son go? Don't you worry! ā€

Liu Yao was stunned, how could he not be worried?

Du Xiaoxi suddenly slapped himself in the face, and said again and again: "I'm so stupid, so stupid!" If I don't say it, who knows about the companion reading, then I will refuse it myself, why should I tell you! What a stupidity! ā€
