For a time, Chaoyangmen was as lively as the New Year.

Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Xiao, Cheng Sheng, and Zhou Chujin sat on the big kang near the window of the banquet room, drinking tea and eating snacks, Ah Ren held a Buddha dust, and the official brother ran around the house with a feather duster. Brother Yun was held by the nurse and watched with wide eyes, giggling twice from time to time, and shouting twice, looking very happy.

After all, Ah Bao is older, unlike Ah Ren, who quickly integrated into the Cheng family.

He stood aside and looked at Ah Ren, looking like he was afraid that Ah Ren would get into trouble.

Gu Zhong smiled and said, "With the nurses and maids watching, it will be fine." ”

If Ah Ren and Brother Guan are bruised or bruised, the people who serve around them will be severely punished, so they will take care of the two children very conscientiously. ”

He asked Po, "I'm going to write with my brother, do you want to go with me?" ”

Ah Bao looked at Gu Ning, who was practicing the big characters in front of the square table in the hall, thought about it, and said with some uncertainty: "I haven't officially apprenticed to the teacher yet, but I usually follow my second uncle and grandmother to read the "Three Character Classic" ......."

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled like a small adult: "My brother and I were also taught by our mother when we were children, and we didn't officially apprentice until this spring. The implication is that you don't have to be embarrassed," are you starting to paint red? ”

Po nodded.

Gu Zhongdao: "My mother stipulates that I have to practice 300 big characters every day, and my uncle and grandmother stipulate that you practice hundreds of big characters?" ”

Ah Bao said embarrassedly: "No." Not specified. It's just a matter of writing a stick of incense every day. ”

"Then you're just getting started." Gu Zhong said with great experience, "If you sometimes write a few more words, it's best to write a few more words." My dad said that practice is a matter of great effort, and the more effort you put in, the better your handwriting will be. Before my father was admitted to the Jinshi examination, he had to write 5,000 words a day, and now he writes very well, not only my grandfather and grandmother, but also my great-grandfather and grandmother have praised my father for his good writing. My great-grandmother's handwriting was also very good. My aunts, cousins, cousins, they enlightened. They are all written by my great-grandmother, and my seventh aunt still writes five pages of small letters every day according to my great-grandmother's stickers! My seventh aunt is my aunt's daughter and my father's cousin......"

Ah Bao has been dizzy by the relationship between Gu Zhongbao, but he looks at Gu Zhongbao and says it very well. Still nodded solemnly. One side followed Gu Zhong to the hall.

The big girl beside Gu Ning immediately walked over quietly. Bent his knees and saluted Gu Zhong, and whispered: "Second young master, the eldest young master is practicing calligraphy!" ”

"I know!" Gu Zhong also whispered: "We also have to practice calligraphy." You move us a small table. ”

As soon as his words fell, the servant woman of the Cheng family who stayed in the hall to serve immediately stepped forward and whispered: "The two young masters wait a minute, the slave maid will give the order." ”

Gu Zhong nodded.

The servant woman stepped back lightly.

Gu Zhong gestured to Po, tiptoed forward, and looked at the table with his feet stretched out his neck.

Gu Ning, who had been holding his breath and concentrating on writing, suddenly turned around and smiled at his younger brother.

Gu Zhong was startled, and said weakly: "Brother, I didn't quarrel with you, I just took a look at ......"

"I know!" Gu Ning said gently, "When I finish the homework assigned by my husband, I will play with you." As he spoke, he glanced at Po.

Po smiled sheepishly.

Gu Zhong was busy saying: "I accompany my brother to write." ”

Gu Ning smiled, lowered his head and practiced his words seriously.

The servants set up a small set of tables and chairs.

Gu Zhong took the words and posted them to paint red with Bao.

Ah Ren and Brother Guan were about to run to the hall at first, but they were hugged by the nurse and pointed to Gu Ning, Gu Zhong and Ah Bao, who were writing, and coaxed a few words, and the two children stopped trying to run into the hall, only playing on both sides of the banquet room and the inner room, and because there were many jade carved incense balls in the inner room, wooden stacked arhats and other gadgets, the two children had no time to provoke Gu Ning and them.

Only Yun Ge'er was very dissatisfied.

He wanted to watch Ah Ren play with Brother Guan.

As soon as he couldn't see the two of them, he started arguing.

The nurse tried a few times, and after understanding his intentions, she hugged him and followed behind Ah Ren and Brother Guan, and he quieted down, and let out a few unknown cries from time to time.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help laughing and said: "When Brother Yun grows up, he will definitely be a person who goes to the house to uncover the tiles and go down to the river to fish." ”

Zhou Chujin thought of his nephew, and said with a smile: "You see that he looks so sturdy, and he is much heavier than when our official brother was a child." In this way, the child is energetic. When the time comes, as long as the good students are guided, it will be fine. Like Shao Jin, who was very skinny when he was a child, he had to ask why, and there was no moment of silence. At that time, my grandmother was worried that she would not be able to get married. You see now, I am quieter than anyone else, and I don't want to go anywhere if I stay at home every day?! Speaking of this, she remembered the temple fair of the Great Xiangguo Temple in early October, and said, "The temple fair of the Great Xiangguo Temple should not be able to be done, right?" When the time comes, should we go to Zhetan Temple in the suburbs to burn incense? ”

"I heard that the temple fair of Daxiangguo Temple will still be held." Cheng Sheng said, "But it may be done - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone down, and the Zen Academy in the capital should pray for His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhetan Temple is a big temple, I think they should also hold a temple fair like Daxiangguo Temple, right? ”

"Then don't go out." Zhou Chujin still remembers the congestion when several major Zen temples in the capital held temple fairs, "It's good to pay tribute at home!" ”

It stands to reason that the first day of October is a day to pay tribute to ancestors.

Cheng Xiao smiled: "I'm not ready to go out." Why don't we get together again on the second day of junior high school! You see how happy the children are! Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "I look like I want to take our brother Ying over." ”

Zhou Chujin smiled: "Then take it!" After all, it is different for children to be raised by their own side. ”

"Who's to say it's not." Cheng Xiao said with a bitter face, "But my father-in-law and mother-in-law won't let go." It is said that we can't take care of ourselves, let alone take care of our children. and urging us to have another ......"

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

Zhou Chujin sighed in her heart, but saw that Zhou Shaojin didn't squeak for a long time.

She couldn't help but crutch Zhou Shaojin with her elbow and said, "What do you want?" ”

Zhou Shaojin came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm watching Gu Ning and Gu Zhong write, thinking that such a young child, everyone should be enlightened in a few years." How good is the future family study, why don't we do another family study? Let several children study together, and when they grow up, they will not only have blood kinship, but also fellow classmates. How wonderful! ”

Zhou Chujin was greatly moved.

The Liao family is one of the best in Zhenjiang. In Jiangnan, they can barely count, but when they arrive in the capital, it is obviously not enough, and their husband and wife do not expect the Liao family to support them now, but only to not drag their husband and wife back.

If Brother Guan can grow up with Gu Zhong and Ah Bao. There will be a foil for anything in the future.

She looked at Cheng Sheng: "I think this is a good idea!" It's just that we all have elders in our family. I don't know what elders mean. ”

Cheng Sheng was also very excited.

The long house and Jinling Jiuru Lane are divided. The few rooms left in Jinling are not having a long house, and their long house is not having a good time, and the foundation of Jiuru Lane is not good.

If the glory of Cheng family can be reproduced, Changfang can really gain a firm foothold in the capital.

She looked towards Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Sheng thought of it. Cheng Xiao also thought of it.

She muttered: "I'll go back and discuss with my eldest sister later, if it can be done, where is this clan located." ”

Zhou Shaojin said: "Is it possible to set it up here?" If not, I still have a house in Yuqian Hutong, but there is no one to take care of it when I get there. At the beginning of the ethnography, it was better to have someone take care of it. If the gentleman is not satisfied, you can change it. If the children's future is delayed because of this, it will be doomed. ”

Cheng Xiao nodded and said, "The selection of this gentleman is also a problem. Now Brother Ning and Brother Zhong are enlightened by an uncle of the Gu family, but next year is the year of Dabi, this uncle will definitely end, and if it is the title of the gold list, the Gu family will definitely have to invite Xixi again. ”

Zhou Shaojin pondered: "Can you ask Mr. Wu Zaoxiu Wu to help recommend a knowledgeable person, and it doesn't matter if he must be from Hanlin Academy, it's not good to raise children who are too old-fashioned, find a younger ......?"

"That's a good idea." Cheng Sheng said with a smile, "When we were studying at home, my grandmother would rather find a female gentleman for us than find Lao Hanlin, which is what it meant. It's a pity that we gave birth to a boy, if only we could have a girl. ”

The topic shifted from the academy to how to have children.

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.

A little maid came in and said, "Madam, Mama Shang asks to see you." ”

There are no outsiders here, and since Mama Shang doesn't come in to do something, it can be seen that it is inconvenient for others to know what she wants to say.

Zhou Shaojin responded with a smile, said hello to Cheng Xiao, and walked out of the main room.

Mama Shang waited under the corridor.

When he saw her, he stepped forward and saluted, and said in her ear: "Madam, the steward of the second room, who is the distant nephew of Donald Anren, shouted and scolded at the gate, and was dragged into the concierge by the head of Qin, and the head manager Qin asked what to do." ”

Zhou Shaojin's eyelids jumped, and he said, "Why is he scolding at the gate?" ”

Mama Shang hesitated for a moment, and said: "Last winter, the second room took 100,000 taels of silver to invest in the fleet of the thirteenth line, but this year, two ships in the thirteenth line capsized in the sea, including a ship in which the second room was a shareholder, and the nephew of Tang Lao'an said that it was not the ship they invested in at all, it was the fourth master who did his tricks, and he hated that the second room asked for a lot of silver in the long house when he divided the sect that year......"

This is really something Cheng Chi has done.

But Zhou Shaojin felt that even if Cheng Chi did it, he was not wrong.

The second room had divided so much silver, and if they were not greedy, it would be enough for their children and grandchildren to chew it for several generations.

Now that his skills are not as good as others, he will blame others for his powerful methods.

She said, "What does Chief Qin mean?" ”

Mama Shang said: "Chief Manager Qin meant to send the official - when he scolded him, a neighbor next door saw it." ”

"Then let's do what Chief Qin wants!" Zhou Shaojin also felt that he should teach these people a lesson, so as not to treat their house as a vegetable garden door, and do whatever they want.

Mama Shang smiled and left.
