"Otherwise, I'll go back, I'll go back and see them." Dong Xiaoman asked Erlang with a worried face, and Erlang smiled and reassured: "There are many days of coming and going, and our inn has only been open for many days." Now that there are so many things, it's not a big deal in my hometown. It's better to let Jue'er go back and take a look before making a decision. ”

Dong Xiaoman was suspicious: "Why do you always want Jue'er to leave?" ”

Erlang smiled bitterly: "It's he who wants to go back, so he came to beg me first." ”

Dong Xiaoman frowned: "Doesn't he like it here?" We're just reunited, did I do something to upset him? ”

Erlang shook his head: "Jue'er thinks big and looks at things in the long run, he doesn't want to empty his hometown's business." Besides, what he means is that sooner or later the business here will be handed over to Wei'er, and it is good to experience it early. But he is here, and Wei'er has no consciousness at all. ”

Dong Xiaoman sighed: "Other people's brothers broke their heads because of their family property, but our family is the opposite of others." You push me, I push you, this time I don't have the spirit of guarding the industry at the beginning. Not only Wei'er, but even Huanhuan is like this. ”

Speaking of Huanhuan Erlang, he frowned again: "What's the matter with her and the Mei family?" Why did I hear that two people made a lifelong agreement in private? ”

Dong Xiaoman sneered: "Hongyan thinks so, but can their family agree?" It's a shame that our family Huanhuan is transparent, and he didn't get into the horns of the bull, and the scholars privately decided to elope with others for life. He was given three years to ask his family to agree to come here to propose. ”

Erlang nodded: "Let's be here in the future, it's not good for the girl to marry far away." I haven't seen each other in ten or eight years, isn't this feeding for nothing? "I thought that there was still a little tiger in Qingzhou Mansion. I was a little relieved.

Although Dong Xiaoman is reluctant to give up his son. In the end, he can be regarded as an enlightened person. Jue'er was called. I decided to have a good talk with my son.

Jue'er was inexplicably embarrassed and embarrassed every time she saw her mother after talking about the round house with her mother last time.

Maybe everyone will be like this when they get married? Or is she different from an ancient woman in her bones, and she has completely forgotten what she told her son before.

"Your father told me that you want to go back to your hometown to take care of those shops." Jue'er saw that her mother said it straight to the point, so she nodded meekly.

"It was my mistake and I haven't figured out how to fix it yet. But I still don't want you to leave so early, after all, you're too young. I feel guilty about going through this too early. "Jue'er is only how old. The next generation is a child who has just entered junior high school.

"You're supposed to study, aren't you going to the academy?" Dong Xiaoman asked again, Jue'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The two gentlemen are very good to me, but if you study because of fame, you will change the taste of a scholar." ”

Dong Xiaoman watched Jue'er's reaction, and an idea flashed in his mind: "Are you isolated or bullied by your classmates there?" ”

Jue'er looked up in surprise: "Why does my mother think like this?" ”

Dong Xiaoman said: "In the past, when we came to the northwest, you didn't say that you would come with us or go back to your hometown. I went to study in the academy with joy, and I wouldn't say anything about studying not for fame. Besides, your mind is no longer in business, what is that little thing compared to your future? ”

Jue'er bowed her head and was silent, and Dong Xiaoman asked seriously: "To be honest, what's going on?" ”

See Jue'er wringing her fingers. Rarely aggrieved. Dong Xiaoman was even more sure that Jue'er must have something to do in the academy, and he was unwilling to face it or chose to escape.

"If you don't say it. I'll write a letter to your third uncle and ask him to check it out. Dong Xiaoman moved out of San Lang, and sure enough, Jue'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I said, I said, I said it's not okay!" ”

It turned out that Jue'er had been absent from school for too long, and many of his new classmates didn't remember him anymore, and the servants near the school after he went back were also dismissed to Xiaohu. He lived in the academy steadily, but he was jealous because of the love of several gentlemen. Coupled with the fact that there is no impermeable wall, his experience and that of the entire Zhang family has given his classmates a strange look at him.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen to you, my mother is sorry for you." The thought of being bullied at school made her heart ache.

"I'm just used to seeing the world cold, and many people befriended me when our family was prosperous, but unfortunately when our family was down, they all left me." Jue'er was still young after all, and these blows in his heart were difficult for him to accept.

"Wu Dapeng is just that, there are so many classmates. They thought that my family was down, that I had no money, and that the gentlemen did not know what to do. Seeing that my husband was getting better and better for me, they began to gossip about me. Those rumor-mongering words, if nothing happens, are even more uncomfortable than whipping people. I don't want to go there. Jue'er turned her face away angrily, and Dong Xiaoman, who watched it, was distressed.

"Good boy, if you don't go, you won't go." Dong Xiaoman stretched out her hand to hold her son in her arms, she always thought that this son was the most worry-free. He was precocious, he was independent, he had ideas, and he stepped up when the whole family was at a loss. His own efforts have ushered in the affirmation of many adults, and she is even more proud. It all drowned out his age, and he was still a little kid at heart.

"My mother doesn't blame you, but why don't you tell my mother?" Dong Xiaoman wiped the tears that came out of his eyes, and Jue'er smiled and said, "I thought my mother would be angry, and she would blame me for not being angry." ”

"Why, you've always been the best in my heart. There are no children who don't have a good life, only unhappy parents. Talking like this, maybe in the eyes of others, she is too used to children. But Dong Xiaoman still feels that she is not wrong to do so. Children, as long as they are healthy, happy, and happy.

"Even if you don't want to go to the academy, why don't you stay here? Why do you have to leave me and run back to my hometown? Dong Xiaoman looked at his son with distressed eyes, this child is different from his daughter. What her daughter says and never hides it from herself.

"I know how you two have done for us, and I know how you plan for the three of us."

"So, you think that you will take over your property sooner if you don't study. So that we don't be disappointed in you, and we don't want to get involved in your brother's things? Dong Xiaoman saw Jue'er bowing her head and was silent, presumably this is the case.

It seems that the dispute between the long house and the second room has a deep-rooted impact on Jue'er. He was also worried that one day the two brothers would kill each other.

"Listen!" Dong Xiaoman moved his son to face him, and said solemnly: "Not every ambitious person will be like this, a real man will fight for what he wants." In this world, apart from your parents, what you can rely on is each other. If a person can kill even his own brother, how can such a person do good deeds? ”

Whether it is a business or an official, at least you must have credibility and pay attention to reputation. Don't even have a face to face, who will cooperate with you, who is willing to take care of him!

Jue'er bowed her head pitifully and was silent, Dong Xiaoman knew that she couldn't say much now, she could only use time to slowly enlighten.

"Would you like to help us? You always say that you don't have the heart to train in Wei'er, and you don't want to think about what else his mind is on hunting. Besides, how old he is, what can he think about running crazy all day? He doesn't listen to us all day long, and it's good for you to teach him by word and deed. Dong Xiaoman persuaded his son while watching his reaction.

"I heard from your father, you have a lot of talent as a military advisor. Your predictions are very correct in many things, which means that your analytical and discriminating skills are very strong. You can see that we are all rough people in this valley. You think they can help your father? They can only help by force, and they don't use their brainpower at all. Our military advisor in the Valley of Freedom is none other than you. Dong Xiaoman looked at Jue'er's complexion and softened it, thinking that he had listened to it.

"The business in my hometown has been laid well, and it won't affect us if we go to Jiangnan for all these years, right? For the time being, I don't need you to go to the town in person, if you have the heart, you might as well stay with us. Now is the time to employ people, the matter of the people in the Western Regions has not been solved, what are you running! ”

Dong Xiaoman's last few words were full of blame, Jue'er raised her eyes and asked pitifully, "Is it okay for me to meddle casually?" ”

"If you intervene, will you be reluctant to give it back to your brother in the future? Will it hurt because of this? Or do you really want a complete separation? Dong Xiaoman asked rhetorically.

Jue'er has always had a concept, that is, Dong Xiaoman divided the family property into three points, and the three of them each had their own things. If he gets involved with his younger brother, he won't even have to be a brother in the future.

"You two are only so old, and your brother doesn't have the heart to do that. If he has that ability in the future, he can do it, but if he is born to be a person who is not good at management, then what should he do? Dong Xiaoman threw out this question, which made Jue'er difficult to understand for a while.

"For example, the two brothers who were born to raise children, and those people in the back mountain, their temperament is the same as Wei'er. In the future, Jue'er is also unwilling to worry about this, what do you think of being a pawn for you? Dong Xiaoman asked with a smile and raised his eyebrows.

"I never thought about it." Jue'er told the truth, and Dong Xiaoman touched his head speechlessly.

"Well, don't think about it that much. At a young age, I'm like an old man, if you're not tired, I'll be tired for you. If you are idle, you should think about how to deal with the affairs of the people in the Western Regions, and don't worry about things all day long. Dong Xiaoman took his son away and thought about it on the bed for a long time.

The son has suffered a lot of grievances and refuses to say it, which is understandable. But Erlang, a stupid man, he was fooled by his son so easily, shouldn't he make up for his brain?

"Ah Fu!" Dong Xiaoman opened his mouth and shouted.

"You go and stew a bowl of pork brain soup for the master, and come back in the evening to make up for him!" (To be continued......)
