The days passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring of the tenth year of Jiahe.

The eldest girl of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, Ah Xun, is four years old. Because the Duchess of Guo was born about a month prematurely, Ah Xun was born with a thin foundation and was smaller than children of the same age.

As the eldest daughter of the grandfather of the dynasty, and was born with a deficiency disease, Ah Xun was favored by her father, and she really responded to her needs, except for one thing, that is, to go to school.

When I delivered the baby that year, the imperial doctor from the palace once said: Ah Jing's body is weak and weak, but fortunately, it is taken care of properly, not badly recuperated. Just pay attention to the nourishing decoction before she turns five, and take some nourishing decoction on time every other day. Over time, this innate loss can also be made up. In addition, after the little girl will turn over, it is not suitable to sit for a long time. It is necessary to move more bones, rejuvenate the essence, absorb nutrients, and lay a solid foundation.

Ah Xun's brain followed her parents, and she was extremely smart. At a young age, you know how to emulate the words and deeds of adults. Especially likes to imitate her mother, loves to dress up like her mother, wears goose yellow skirts, hairpins and silk flowers, and wears small earrings...... Even her mother is good at reading, and she has never missed it.

But when she begged her father to allow her to be like her brother, to study and read in the school, for the first time, her father hugged her, silent for a long time, and let her speak softly, so that he could reason with her. It's just that she is young and frail, and it is the right thing to raise her body at this time. When she turns six, it's not too late to mention it. Speaking of which, just four words - not at this time!

The little girl was disappointed, and ran back to her mother to complain and beg for help.

It's a pity that her mother looked at her with a smile, poked her forehead with her hand, and only asked her if her father was allowed. If her father is right, she will be easy to talk about everything; If her father doesn't allow it...... Even if she plays with the young lady's temper and rolls on the ground today, she can't do this.

The little girl who ran into a wall at both ends, the first time she encountered such a "wronged" thing, she suddenly felt a kind of sadness that her father didn't love her mother. He slumped his face, wiped his eyes, and began to cry.

The four-year-old doll is not like her mother, and she is pampered when she is young. cleverly thought that as long as she cried, her father and mother would definitely feel sorry for her.

It's a pity that this time this wishful thinking fell through. Not only did her mother not agree that she had to follow her brother to the school to join in the fun, but she also showed no mercy, pointing out that she was not dedicated to learning, but it was just for the sake of being strange and fresh. is the father who favors her the most on weekdays, and in the evening, I heard that she went to her mother to cry once, and she rarely made a straight face, and after finishing her brother's homework in the school, she touched her head by the way, and taught her not to be willful.

This night, my father, who would always fold the quilt for her in the room before going to bed, and softly coaxed her to sleep, didn't even show his face.

The little girl was alone in the quilt, sobbing and sad for a long time. Since then, I have understood: Daddy is not as easy to talk as she imagined. Daddy said no, that's no. And her mother, all listen to her father!

**

One day after this incident, Ah Xun was full of envy again, lying on Gu Chong's short side. The white and tender little hands clasped the edge of the table, trying to mess with the scroll that Brother was resting on his hand. Suddenly remembered that her mother had said that she was not allowed to disturb her brother doing his homework, so timidly, she had just stretched out half of her little hand, pitiful, and shrank it back.

"Ah Xun. Don't bite your fingers. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the villain opposite him holding his fingers again, and Gu Chong, who was seriously posting, had no choice but to put down his pen. He grabbed her wrist, removed his hand, and took out a white handkerchief from his pocket to wipe her fingers clean.

"Brother, my mother is listening to the errands of the people below. Ah Xun couldn't understand a word...... "The girl whose body is only as big as his armpit is hanging her head at this time, most of her little face following her mother's appearance, her little mouth is faintly deflated, and she wants to cry without crying." Just told him: Daddy is not here, my mother is busy, my brother wants to practice calligraphy, and no one pays attention to her!

Gu Chong, who has always had an excellent upbringing, and loves his sister, has made a difficulty. Looking at Ah Xun combing his bag and bun hair, short and short, Chu Chu's appearance, the little boy Lang hesitated for a long time, and finally came up with a way that would not delay his practice of calligraphy, but also make Ah Xun not make trouble.

"Why don't you watch me write? Write Ah Jing's name and teach you to read? ”

The little girl immediately raised her head, and her sparkling eyes were full of joy. Crisply responded with a "yes", got up from the seat opposite, moved to his side numbly, knelt down, put his hand on his knee, and looked obedient and serious.

Her father didn't allow her to enter the school, so she followed her brother to learn. One day, she will be able to read and write, and she will be able to pose like her mother, turning the pages of the book, as if she is very capable.

At this time, the little Ah Jing didn't understand, what she liked was the quiet and beautiful charm that naturally flowed out of her body when her mother was reading a book.

This is the most valuable peace of mind for a woman in the current family. It is also the connotation of "having poetry and writing in the belly". It is also the simplicity of tranquility and far-reaching after years of accumulation.

"This word is the word '荇' of '荇'."

After writing the word "A", I watched her peck her head, indicating that she had memorized it. Gu Chong was careful and careful, and taught her the slightly more complex word "荇".

This is also the first time that Gu Chong has given Mr. to him, and when he was writing, he was so nervous that his wrist was slightly unstable. I'm afraid that I can't write well and lose face as a gentleman in front of her. So I took it more and more seriously.

There are two brothers and sisters, one teaching and the other learning, both of whom are highly intelligent qualifications, and they will not look like each other.

After recognizing the words, the little girl cherished the manuscript of her brother, flipped through it and looked at it, and liked it very much. After a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned over the dried word "荇", pointed at Gu Chong and asked:

"This is Ah Jing's wattle. Brother, dad calls his mother to kiss Ah Ming, which word is it? ”

This question is difficult for Gu Chong. Now he is an eight-year-old boy, who was personally enlightened by Master Gu at that time, and after learning the thousand-character text of the hundred family names, he studied under Mr. Gongsun of the Fushang, and continued to read and write articles with Mr. When he first learned the word "瑗", he also asked Mr. curiously, this word is the word "瑗" in his mother's name.

Now that Ah Xun asked again, Gu Chong was proud in his heart, and couldn't help but put up the score of being a brother.

"Ah Jingke must remember that this word '瑗' is related to the name of her mother's daughter. Don't mention it in front of people you don't know. In addition, the word 瑗 has the meaning of beautiful jade, jade. ”

faintly, but also with a bit of ostentation. In the end, it is inseparable from the human nature of young people.

Miyu?

When it comes to every year on Daddy's birthday, my mother will give my father's beautiful stone, and the little girl listens to it with hot eyes, and her little mouth is stirred twice, only to feel that the name of her mother is really good.

Daddy calls his mother every time, not only does it sound good, but it also means it.

So he was excited and asked excitedly, "What does the 'thorn' of 'Ah Jing' mean?" ”

Gu Chong was stunned, grabbed the pen in his hand, and recalled vigorously.

"It seems to be the name of a wild algae in the south."

Although the answer was a little less confident, it was not wrong.

The little girl, who was still in high spirits and looking forward to it, was dumbfounded in an instant.

might as well **** be called by someone's nickname, it will be like this, Ah Xun's eyes were red, and she was so squeamish that tears fell down one by one.

How can it be wild algae? How did the nickname given by Daddy himself become a wild algae that can be seen everywhere on the roadside? Compared with her mother's "beautiful jade", her "wild algae" is so cold that she has no face to see people.

Children also have vanity.

The little girl took it for granted that her own name was taken by her father, and her mother's name should also be taken by her father. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

Cui's mother and Chunying both said that their father treats their mothers well and loves them very much. So, is she called a wild algae by her father, is she not liked by her father?

The little girl whimpered and cried, but the more bitter and fierce it became, crying and crying, and hiccuping.

At this time, Ah Jing, where is it clear that his father named her and specifically picked out the word "Jing", which can be described as painstaking and profound.

At that time, because she was born less than a month, the man was never at ease in his heart. So he was patient, listened to Cui's mother's courageous advice, imitated the behavior of the market, abandoned those flashy rules, and gave her a cheap name for a good living.

"Jing", in the Great Zhou, although it is an ordinary algae in the south of the Yangtze River. The shape is round and lovely, the leaves are green, and the roots are hidden in the water. The flowers are yellow, easy to multiply, and the plants can be used as medicine. In summer, it is especially dense, with vines and branches.

When the flowers bloom, the stems are straight, inserted in the silt under the lotus pond, swaggering wave by wave, slim and elegant, without losing the wind and bones.

The leaves of the algae are often connected to the sky. In the middle of summer, it is cool to look at it from afar. Especially in the evening, the fisherman returns home with a bamboo raft, swings the sparkling pond water, and can vaguely smell the elegant fragrance of white orchid.

Although it is a weed, it is often praised by literati and writers.

At this time, let alone a mere one- or four-year-old girl, even Gu Chong may not be able to understand his father's intentions.

So the two of them cried and coaxed. The little girl was chanting a scripture, muttering in a voice, "Daddy doesn't like me anymore, he only likes my mother."

Gu Chong was forced to be anxious, relying on the little half jar of ink in his stomach, he gritted his teeth and made up a set of words that sounded very reasonable at first glance.

"Ah Xun Mo crying, who said that Daddy doesn't like you? Daddy will like you. Just look at the usual dad always loves to hug you, but it is the brother who is punished, Ah Xun still shouts that dad doesn't like you? ”

"But Daddy hugs his mother more than Ah Jing." The little girl still had tears on her eyelashes, and suddenly felt that she and her brother seemed to be more pitiful.

Gu Chong was stunned, the young man who was a few years older than Ah Jingxu might not know much, but he knew that some words were unspeakable, so he blushed.

"That, that's also ......" After a long time, I finally had a flash of inspiration," Mr. taught, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. When Ah Xun was in her mother's belly, her father didn't know Ah Xun, so naturally he didn't like Ah Xun as much as he liked his mother. But Ah Xun has now come out of her mother's belly, and in a few years, she will always be able to catch up. ”

The little boy's words were convincing, coaxing the little girl to believe it, and gradually, she stopped breathing. Stared at him with big round eyes, with a look of trust. While burping, he stretched his neck and obediently let him wipe his face.

Master Gu and Xiao Qi were too affectionate, and when they didn't know it, they made Xiao Baozi cry so sadly. (laughs~~)
