Chinese New Year's Eve is here in a blink of an eye, Anguo Houfu opened a ancestral hall, worshiped the ancestors, the third old man, the fourth old man also brought the whole family over, the New Year is not more than usual, the Qi family is strong and has to come out Zhang Luo, Yutan helped the Qi family to most of the heart, the old lady, the Qi family, the third lady He family, the fourth lady Huang family set the kang table to sit on the kang, Yutan took the sisters to set two tables of wine on the floor of the inner room, Yutan has been busy with housework recently, it seems that he has grown up all of a sudden, without the coquettishness of the little daughter, to add a bit of capable temperament, The servants were very afraid of the second lady, and the younger sisters also felt that this sister was much older than them.

Li Mingwei led the two brothers to drink in the outhouse, the sons of the third and fourth masters are not big, the Li family is thin, the eldest son of the third master, Brother Li, is two years older than Brother Shen, and he is still a childish, from time to time to probe his brain in the inner room, and the little ones have to be fed by Mama, Brother Shen and these little children seem to be out of place in a hurry.

Li Ming was eating wine with his brother, looking at Brother Shen out of the corner of his eye, and estimating the weight of this son in his heart.

After the New Year, Li Mingwei also had leisure, so he sent someone to call Brother Shen to the study, pointed to the chair opposite and asked him to sit down, Li Mingwei was born with a pair of sharp eyes, and he has been in the army for many years, the momentum of this eye is absolutely trembling, Brother Shen didn't care, picked up the inkstone on the desk and said with a smile, "Daddy, this inkstone of yours is good, give me this reward?" As he spoke, he wanted to carry it in his arms.

"Put it down! I don't look stable at all, and I want it when I see a good one? It depends on whether you have that face or not. ”

Brother Shen put down the inkstone with a smile, his eyes like black grapes were shining, and his chubby little hands dragged his small chin, which was so cute, Li Mingwei couldn't help but soften in his heart, and he spoke a little kindly, "Brother Shen, my father called you over today to tell you something." ”

Brother Shen'er's big eyes blinked, "Daddy, what's the matter?" Are you going to take me out for a drink? ”

The solemn mood that had been brewing for a long time was broken up by this broken child's words, Li Mingwei straightened his face, "You now have a younger brother, your brother is a son-in-law, his status is precious, he will attack the title of the family in the future, this family will be your brother's in the future, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"I understand my father, I am my elder brother, I want Kong Rong to give up the pear and give the title to my younger brother."

Li Mingwei took a breath as if he had a toothache, "Nonsense! The title originally belonged to your younger brother, you will study and practice martial arts for me in the future, and I will take the test to make a name for myself. ”

Brother Shen nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Daddy, then you will give me the inkstone?" I need to read books. ”

I really can't understand this broken child, Li Mingwei gritted his teeth with hatred, according to his original thoughts, Brother Shen should be scared and crying, and he also comforted him with grace and might, so that this child knew that the title was not something he could think about, and he could only cling to his younger brother in his life.

Li Houye just kept a dignified face, Brother Shen looked innocent and ignorant, Li Houye couldn't help but think of when he was a child, he lived in the outer courtyard to avoid the edge of his brother-in-law, and he couldn't even see his mother, and now Brother Shen is the same as himself back then, why didn't he see sadness on this child's face? Or is this kid not long-hearted at all?

Li Houye's heart was unbalanced, and he was determined to give Brother Shen a hard time, "After the fifth day of the junior high school, you will start studying, you write a hundred big characters a day and send them to me, and then review the "Book of Songs", squatting for an hour a day, in my courtyard, and when Mr. Fifteen comes back, you should read four books." ”

Brother Shen said seriously, "Mr. also asked me to write a hundred big characters, and the master also said let me squat on the horse." ”

Li Houye had a straight face, "Then you go to the courtyard to practice first, I don't allow you to grin and complain." ”

"Daddy, am I going to go to the yard now? You ask my brother to help me count the hours. After Brother Shen finished speaking, he jumped off the chair and jumped on the spot a few more times, "Then Daddy, I'm out." ”

The window lattice inlaid with mica sheets has good lighting, and you can see Brother Shen'er's blurred figure outside the window, this child really ran to squat and walk, Li Mingwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he has a son-in-law, for the sake of the future of the Hou Mansion, he can only treat this son badly now, and then thought of Aunt Zhou, who slapped her in anger that day, causing her to give birth prematurely, and I haven't seen her for two or three months, Brother Min is thin and weak, and Brother Jin is still too young now.

There is also the queen's will...... The eldest prince and the two princes are only a year apart, and they are studying together, and the ministers have repeatedly asked for the early prince, but they have been set back by Emperor Zhaoming, even the queen mother does not approve of the early establishment of the prince, and humbly said that the eldest son is only five years old, and the heart is undecided, the queen has won the reputation of being virtuous, but the country is undecided, and the court in the next ten years will have a battle in the open and secret.

Li Mingwei narrowed his eyes and pondered, the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Thinking of his growing daughter Yutan, some things should be discussed with his wife, he also stood up and walked out, Brother Shen was still squatting in the yard, the northwest wind blew the little face red, the eyes were shining, this child was born like to practice martial arts, Li Mingwei put on a big hair clothes, stood there and watched for a long time, this kid's waist and legs are quite strong, he didn't work weekdays, and walked over and kicked Brother Shen'er lightly, Brother Shen'er's body moved slightly, and immediately stabilized again, raised his black grape-like eyes and looked at Master Hou, and said with some grievances, "Daddy's strength is greater than Master's, and you have kicked Shen'er." ”

Li Mingwei nodded and ordered, "Brother Shen will finish practicing kung fu in a while, and send him to the old lady." With that, he strode out.

Looking at Li Mingwei's back, Brother Shen couldn't help laughing, he was not a real child, he already knew his embarrassing position at home, if it was according to common sense, he should be obscure, but it didn't work in this family, his aunt wanted to kill him, so that he could also blame Mrs., grandmother was just blindly doting, and Hou Ye valued the overall situation of the Hou Mansion.

If he hadn't been careful, he would have been on Aunt Zhou's way, and the little maid Huaihua next to his wife gave him a plate of hibiscus cake, Brother Shen had an extra heart, and the hibiscus cake was fed to the dog, and the dog died whining the next day.

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary child, and he can't help himself even if he calculates Mama Liu, which is too cruel to the master and servant.

Brother Shen squatted on the horse, and couldn't help but smile, if he was really useless, where would he have the opportunity to study and practice martial arts, but he was just raised as a gentleman, and when he grew up, he would get a meager family property to live, and the third and fourth masters were ready-made examples.

Brother Shen didn't want to live a life of eating and waiting for death, and his mother-in-law was generous, so he wanted to please the Hou Ye and win a chance to get ahead.
