Chapter 9: Jing Kui
's body is getting more and more flexible, her hands and feet are getting better and better, and after a month or two, she actually reached out to her little feet and lifted them to her eyes! More excited than Columbus discovered the New World, his eyes sparkled, he grabbed his little feet and put them in his mouth, and sucked up his toes.
"Look, look, my sister is gnawing on her little feet!" Pei Qi and Pei Yu arrived at the bed at some point, and looked at it in amazement-
I didn't mean to! I don't really want to gnaw, but ...... I managed to get there. A little shy for a while, and then gnawed intently.
It was the height of summer, wearing a small belly pocket between the lotus leaves, and the little arms and legs were white and fat, and they were cute. A little girl like her, just holding her little feet and gnawing wildly, is also very interesting and fun, which makes the two brothers smile when they see it.
"What are you laughing at, who didn't bite when you two were kids." Lin Youhui walked over and pulled the two sons away, not allowing them to laugh at their sister.
"Me, gnawing on my feet?" Pei Qi was already a six-year-old child, and he was shocked when he heard this. Gnawing feet? What a shame.
Pei Jin's face flushed, "Have you also gnawed it?" Mother, I don't remember much about the past. ”
Lin Youhui smiled and pulled the surprised eldest son and the twisted second son to sit outside, ordered someone to wash their hands and faces for them, and sat down to drink tea and eat snacks, "Children love to gnaw their feet, my sister is a little girl, thin-skinned, don't laugh at her." Pei Qi and Pei Yu both nodded obediently.
Mama Li muttered puzzled, "What does Xiao Nan know now?" ”
Lin Youhui smiled, "I'm still ignorant, but Ah Qi and Ah Ji are not." Nurses, they should love their sister from an early age. ”
If you don't teach it well when you are a child, will you change it when you are older? Where did it come from.
Mama Li had nothing to say.
After Pei Er Ye came home this night, he also watched the indecent behavior of his little daughter gnawing her feet, "Does it taste good?" He asked with a smile.
Haven't you chewed it? Gave him a blank look, lowered his head and continued to gnaw.
Pei Erye and Lin Youhui couldn't laugh.
Time flies, summer passes in a blink of an eye, and it is the season of autumn laurel.
Mrs. Pei stayed until the evening and sat down with Mrs. Fang to talk. "Da Lang, you should be out of the exam room at this time, right?" He leaned back in his chair and asked slowly.
Their eldest son, Pei, returned to his hometown of Shaanxi to participate in the township test. It stands to reason that the township examination should end on August 18. Today is August 18th.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Fang couldn't sit still, stood up, and walked around the room, "Buddha bless, Da Lang must be lifted this time!" If he doesn't get the lift again, Zhonglang, a stupid boy with solid eyes, will definitely refuse to go to Beijing next spring. ”
"I hope Da Lang can win this time." Pei Taishou closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Me too, I hope Da Lang can go to high school this time." Madame Fang sat down beside him and sighed softly.
The fourth year of Tianqing is probably the lucky year of Pei Taishou and his wife. In the autumn of this year, their eldest son Pei Yin not only won the lift, but also ranked fifth and became the leader. Uncle Pei hasn't come back yet, the good news has come, and the Pei family is happy up and down.
Although the adults are happy in their hearts, they can still suppress it and not be too exposed. After all, it is only the second list, and it should not be too public. The children don't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and they are proud.
"Do you know what Jingkui is?" Pei Lang called Pei Heng, Pei Jin, Pei Jing and other three younger brothers over, and asked them vividly.
In fact, his younger brother still has the eighth Pei Lin, but Pei Lin is only one year old, and the road is still unstable. Pei Lang felt that it was boring to teach the eighth brother this little kid who still didn't understand anything.
Pei Heng was five years old, Pei Ying and Pei Jing were three years old, and they all looked at him blankly. Jing Kui? I've never heard of it.
"The third, fourth, and fifth places in the township test are all called Jingkui." Pei Lang patiently told his younger brothers.
"Oh, that's right." The three little ones suddenly realized.
"So, what's the number one?" Pei Yu asked diligently.
"What's the second name?" Pei Jing also probed a little face and humbly asked for advice.
I have to say that these two little boys are still very diligent and inquisitive.
Pei Lang scratched his head, "Is this ......" He is only six or seven years old, how much can he know more than his younger brothers?
Pei Lang was embarrassed, and the second brother Pei Jue came over with a smile and relieved him, "The first name of the township test is Xie Yuan, the second name is Yayuan, the third, fourth, and fifth places are all called Jingkui, and the sixth name is Yakui." ”
"That's right." Pei Ying and Pei Jing seemed to understand everything, and nodded deeply, "I really understand."
The two ran hand in hand to a secluded corner, head to head, biting their ears.
"Hey, let's go to the township together when we grow up, I'm in the Yuan, and you are in the Yuan." Pei Ying suggested.
Pei Jing hesitated a little, why are you the first and I am the second.
Pei Yu saw that he seemed to be unhappy, and was stunned, "Seventh brother, I'm my elder brother!" ”
Pei Jing wrinkled his little bun face and thought about it, and reluctantly agreed, "Okay." ”
Pei Jin was very happy, and at the moment, the little brothers and sons easily and very friendly settled this matter.
Xu had nothing to do, took the little girl to visit the second room, and chatted with Lin Youhui about tea by the way. While they were talking, Pei Jin and Pei Jing ran in hand in hand, and Xi Zizi told Fang Cai, "I'm my brother, I want to solve the yuan!" Pei Ying solemnly announced.
"I'm going to be a sub-dollar." Pei Jing said very casually.
Lin Youhui and Xu both found it funny. Xu gently praised the two children, "Jin'er is self-motivated, Jing'er knows how to be polite to her brother, and they are all good children." Lin Youhui also praised the two of them, and then told them carefully, "Yu'er, Jing'er, you must first pass the Xiucai examination before you are eligible to participate in the township examination." The number of people who take the township test is very large, and only one out of ten people will be selected, and most people will be defeated. If there are 10,000 students in Jiangnan who study in the south of the Yangtze River, there are as many as 10,000 students in a province participating in the township examination, and there are 7,000 or 8,000 in Shaanxi. ”
With tens of thousands of people taking the exam, how can you two decide the ranking? Ah Jin, Ah Jing, if you two are really ambitious, you have to study hard, and you can't be naughty and mischievous.
Pei Jin and Pei Jing listened as if they didn't understand, and Qi Qi agreed, and ran out of the house to play again.
"The second sister-in-law said all good words, and I don't know if these two children can understand it." Xu Shi looked at Aiko's back and said softly.
"Whether the children understand or not, I will tell them." Lin Youhui smiled, "If they can understand a sentence and a half, they will benefit a lot." Even if you don't understand it, it doesn't hurt. ”
Xu Shi thoughtfully, "Whether you understand it or not, tell them?" ”
Lin Youhui smiled, "Yes, I often treat Ah Yu as a big child, accompany him to study, and reason with him at length." Sometimes he just laughs, sometimes he seems to understand something. ”
Xu was very tempted, "Listening to what the second sister-in-law said, I will accompany Heng'er and Jing'er to study and teach them in person." ”
The second brother and sister-in-law's Ah Qi and Ah Yu look really smart, maybe it has something to do with the second sister-in-law teaching them personally? Also, it is not enough to rely on the teacher alone, so let's go out yourself.
"That's very good." Lin Youhui smiled.
Xu sat down for a while, then got up and took his leave.
After Uncle Pei was lifted, he did not return to Suzhou, but went directly to the capital from Shaanxi. After arriving in the capital, he will temporarily borrow Lin Shangshu's Mansion and wait for the spring festival with peace of mind. The Lin family has been scholarly for generations, and most of the people who come and go are well-educated, and Uncle Pei lives in the Lin family, so he can get the guidance of many famous people.
Although Uncle Pei, the new winner, was not at home, Second Master Pei still accompanied his father to drink a little wine to celebrate. The father and son were in a very good mood, and they drank until the moon and stars were scarce, and then they dispersed happily.
"Came back so late." It's easy to wait for her husband, Lin Youhui was coquettish, and at the same time ordered someone to serve him a sweet and sour decanting soup and hand it to him, "Drink it quickly, it will be more comfortable." ”
"Lady, I'...... I'm sorry for you. Pei Erye said a little vaguely: "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter Beijing next spring......"
That year, he and his eldest brother went back to their hometown to take the test, he was successful, and the eldest brother fell first; Next year, he really doesn't want to try with his big brother again.
"I ...... My article is still not hot enough......" Pei Erye said vaguely, leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.
Lin Youhui looked at him silently for a long time, and ordered the maid to wash his hands, face, and feet, take off his clothes, and help him to lie down on the Luohan couch, "You sleep here tonight, don't go to bed, be careful to smoke it." ”
"Mother doesn't want your father to try it next spring." Lin Youhui washed, went to bed and lay down, and spoke softly, "You are only a little bit old, you can't go far, and your mother naturally wants to guard you." If you want to go, your dad has to go alone, right? My mother doesn't want to be separated from him, and I don't want you and your brothers to not see your father for half a year. , good baby, it's better to wait another three years, when you are older, our family of five will go to Beijing together, how happy? ”
Surprised. Mother, dare you not accept even a few months of separation, and your father will try to follow you when he enters Beijing? You are the angry little daughter-in-law of the feudal era, you are even more bullish than the women of the Celestial Empire in the 21st century!
