Chapter 27: Heirs are Hard

The two children worked hard to catch the ducks, and the poor ducks were chased and scattered in all directions, if Li Rui caught one or two particularly stupid ones occasionally, Li Ming's addition made the ducks run more irregularly, and they were busy for an hour, and the two brothers put down their own careful thoughts and "sincerely cooperated". The brothers rushed one by one and caught the other, and only then did they succeed in catching the duck.

Li Ming hugged the duck he caught and smiled happily. Even the mud and dirt on his body no longer feel so eyesore, and as for his brother Li Rui, he has also become cute.

"Why do you want to come and get your clothes? Did Young Master Ming fall into the water? Or did you fall? "Qi Yun, one of the four girls next to the old lady, came to the East Garden and wanted to take his son's clothes back, and from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, even the sachets and purses he wore had to be replaced.

As soon as he heard this, Fang's heart rose to his throat.

If you just fall and get your clothes dirty, you can change your clothes and change your outer gown, so why change them all? The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and she couldn't wait to go to North Park quickly with her clothes.

"Madame, the young master didn't fall into the water, nor did he wrestle, but he was stubborn in the vegetable field in the morning and stained his clothes." The big girl knew what Fang was worried about, and hurriedly explained. "The young master's clothes are all soaked with sweat, and his coat is also a little dirty, so Mrs. Tai asked me to bring the little maid back to buy another clothes for the young master."

Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the girls to go to the cabinet in Kai Ming'er's house to get clothes, and prepared to take the subordinates to wash and change their son's clothes in person. Most of the old lady's servants are mothers-in-law, Ming'er has fine skin and tender meat, she is not at ease.

"Madam, Mrs. Tai has instructed to leave the young master for lunch in the North Garden, Mrs. Tai instructed several times, saying that Madame, you are in charge of the house inside and out, no more than the old lady idler, or busy with the important affairs of the house first. Just let the girl who is in charge of waiting for the change of clothes and a few slaves and maids go back to the North Garden. ”

Qi Yun squatted down and passed the old lady's words.

Fang's face was cold, "What is worth my son?" ”

"Madame, what you said made the servants panic. Mrs. Tai regarded Young Master Ming and Young Master Rui as if they were treasures, and the maids and ladies took care of them with all their hearts, for fear that something would be wrong. Besides, Mrs. Tai was very happy by the two Young Master Sun, and the unhappiness on her body was gone a while ago. Madam, you are going, the two Young Masters Sun will inevitably feel uncomfortable, but it is not beautiful. "Qi Yun's mouth is the sharpest of the four big girls, which is why Gu Qing sent her to the Splendid Courtyard.

Fang listened to Qi Yun's words, but did not follow him to the North Garden. But she really didn't worry about her son, so she sent Mama Liu to watch with her. When Mama Liu came back, everything was fine after giving Young Master Fang Ming, and the old lady was in a good mood, Ming'er didn't look like she had been wronged, so Fang's heart was put back in her stomach.

She really can't be separated, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few months, and the father-in-law also went a few years after the uncle's death, and the filial piety in this mansion has been brought for a few years, and the New Year's Festival can not be done in a big way, in addition to filial piety this summer, the New Year will reopen to welcome guests, and now it has become the top priority in the house.

The last time the old lady said that her heirs were thin, she almost didn't have tears in her eyes. Who knows her grievances?

This filial piety period is four or five years after it has passed, first the uncle, who should only be kept for one year, but because Li Rui is going to keep it for three years, and the lord has just attacked the knight, for fear of criticism, he has been guarding it for three years. Within two years, my father-in-law, who was already paralyzed in bed, died of excessive grief, and there was filial piety on top of the house, and my father-in-law went, and the old man cried and fainted many times, and he was so grief-stricken that he almost didn't collapse his body.

In the past few years, she has been filial piety, the old man Ding is worried about going home, and she is closed on weekdays, and it is not good for her to go to other people's doors with heavy filial piety, she has left her small circle for many years. The master's body is empty, because he can only be a vegetarian every day, and he will raise it for a while before raising it back. Even if they are raised, the couple will not even dare to have undignified words and deeds, let alone make a few children!

How many five years are there in life? She's in her thirties! It's a shame that the uncle had a sister-in-law before he went, otherwise it would have been even more difficult for her to endure for so many years. Filial piety on weekdays.

Even his own sons were sent to his grandfather's house to study, so he became close to his mother's relatives. Li Rui's mother family has not yet stepped into the door, and her mother's family is even more difficult to overcome.

The people in her house are thin, and there are only a few people in the master's house, they are still old and young, and there is no one who can be counted on to do things, and even the only sister-in-law only returns once in three or four years when she marries in other places. She's about to become a "loner".

This year's Spring Festival and Shangyuan Festival, the lord wants to let the house reopen the door of the house, and there are too many things to be busy with. It took months just to replace the old plain decorations with festive ones, not to mention the others.

At this time, the old lady took Rui'er and raised her in the yard, even if she had the heart to go to Zhiyun Courtyard every day to ask for companionship, she □ lack skills. The old man has just come out of filial piety, returned to his original position, the original colleagues are either promoted, or went to other departments, the old man is familiar with personnel every day, but also diligent in the king's affairs, every day to come back very late, this comes and goes, the major affairs of human ethics are delayed again.

If you want to say what the Fang family is most worried about now, first, the old lady found that Rui'er was wrong and began to meddle in the matter of upbringing; The second is that the old lady is really worried that the heirs of the Guogong Mansion are too thin, and wants to take advantage of the filial piety to let the old man quickly spread the branches.

Now the master is still in the way, but in another year or two, she will not be able to have a child in her belly, and even the master will not be able to guarantee that she will not give birth to other thoughts.

Fang suddenly had a feeling of "being alone", and he couldn't wait to find one or two helpers.

In the carved bow building, Gu Qing was having lunch with his two grandsons. It was nine or ten o'clock when the two children had finished catching the ducks, but they had just a little snack and gruel to fill their stomachs. By the time it was time for lunch, the two children's eyes were already shining with hunger.

The little fat man Li Rui was ordered by Gu Qinglu not to eat more, and there was only a small bowl of rice at noon every day, accompanied by a light stir-fry and soup. His meals are all made separately, with less oil and less salt, and he is more hungry.

Gu Qing actually likes spicy food the most, but this old lady's stomach is not very good, and she can't sleep all night when she eats spicy food, so she has to eat some dishes that are easy to digest and taste delicious every day with tears.

"This one is made from the duck you caught in the morning, eat more." Gu Qing picked up a piece of "roast duck with honey sauce" and put it in Li Ming's bowl. Seeing Li Ming's sweet eating, Gu Qing and Li Rui both showed envious expressions.

Losing weight/afraid of stroke or something, it's so annoying!

For people like them, they usually don't need to do their own meals, they only need to eat from their own bowls, and they have their own people to serve the vegetables and other chores. But Mrs. Qiu has always eaten with her husband before, and she hates the girls and mothers-in-law the most, and she is willing to serve her husband by herself, so over time, the rule here is to eat by herself.

In addition, she wants to cultivate Li Xiaopang's independent ability, so no one is allowed to serve Li Rui during meals, and Li Ming has to abide by this rule when he arrives here. This makes Li Ming, who has been used to being served since childhood, very fresh.

Gu Qing sandwiched a dish for Li Ming, turned his head and saw Li Xiaopang with a jealous expression, he was in a good mood, and he was ready to clip a "Jinsha Silver Roll" for the little fat man to eat.

"Come on, Rui'er has worked hard to catch ducks today, you should eat more."

Li Rui grinned, revealing his two small front teeth.

"Jinsha Silver Roll" is a dim sum with duck egg yolk and bean paste, wrapped in yam and fried on the outside, each only the size of a thumb. This dim sum is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet and delicious, the portion is small and not sweet and greasy, Gu Qing has to eat a few every day.

She picked up the common toothbrush and reached for the "Golden Sands Silver Roll", but her hand trembled unobediently. While no one else noticed, Gu Qing quickly picked up a roll and prepared to put it in Li Rui's bowl.

But I heard a "click", and the "golden sand silver roll" fell on the table.

Gu Qing held the chopsticks in embarrassment, and his hands involuntarily shook again.

'Grandma, what's wrong?' Do your hands hurt? ’

Li Rui glanced at his grandmother's hand a few times, and hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to clip the rolls that fell on the table into the bowl.

"The master said, 'Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard', and it is a pity to drop it. Such delicious silver rolls, if it weren't for my belly being too big, I really want to have a few more! Li Rui deliberately made an exaggerated expression and spoke loudly, relieving Gu Qing.

"It's just one more clip if you drop it, brother, you're exaggerating like this." Li Ming frowned. The snacks that fell on the table were still picked up and eaten again, and if he had made them, his mother would have beaten him.

"It's grandma's clip!" Don't you understand the truth that the elders give, don't dare to resign? ”

Li Xiaopang is so good! It's really in vain that she did her best to him! Gu Qing, who was still embarrassed, was amused by the little brother and son again.

Gu Qing smiled and withdrew his chopsticks, and looked at his hand quietly.

It's been getting more and more frequent lately. I don't know if I want to call a doctor to take a look. But she was worried that if she was "unwell", Fang and Li Mao would use an excuse to let Li Rui return to Qingcang Courtyard.

In addition, if she is not in good health, the Fang clan will definitely come to "serve the sick" sooner or later. She doesn't want that woman to stand in front of her all day long and can't eat, okay?

Thinking of this, Gu Qing casually ate a few bites of food, rolled up his sleeves and stopped eating.

Hey, when your hands are shaking a little better, let's eat some snacks and fruits in the afternoon to pad your stomach.

Mrs. Qiu, why don't you let people serve you? How nice it would be to have someone else help with the food!

Li Ming followed his brother to write in the afternoon, although he read more books than Li Rui, but his writing was not as good as Li Rui's. When Li Rui was young, his father was still there, and his skills in learning calligraphy were practiced. Li Ming is still young, in ancient times, in order not to hurt the fingers of young children, until the age of three or four let children take real brushes, so Li Ming's words are still quite tender, can only be said to be neat.

The two children were kicked out by Gu Qing to play for a while every time they wrote for a while, put paper kites or feed the fish, rest their eyes, and rest their eyes. Li Ming felt that he had a very happy day today.

Especially grandma, grandma is really good at playing! I heard that the paper kite was also made by my grandmother, and my brother asked for the style, and then colored it himself. Grandma said that next time he would take a break, let him make a paper kite by himself.

I'm going back to my grandfather's house tomorrow, and I used to be like an arrow at this time, but now I don't want to leave.

Hmm, go back and discuss with my mother, and in the future, once every five days will be changed to once every three days. Grandma still wants to eat the duck he caught, this is also filial piety, isn't it?
