Zhou Hua folded the fan and said, "But if you want to ask what this has to do with your family affairs, then naturally there is." Self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. There are traces of the rules. In the case of your family affairs, your mother is like the insatiable boss that you just talked about. ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Wenqian was choked by his own saliva and coughed several times.

Zhou Hua poured him another cup of tea without changing his face, and continued: "And your mother's hostile camp is your sister-in-law. The higher official rank of the Qingliu is your father. You have a lot to rely on, but you don't choose anything, isn't that just adding to your troubles? ”

Luo Wenqian took the teacup and drank several sips, and only after he recovered did he say with a straight face: "Sir, the student doesn't want to cause trouble to others. ”

Zhou Hua clasped the folding fan on the table and said earnestly: "Wen Qian, you are only eight years old. You should understand that it is difficult to build the Great Wall by one person. Sometimes it's also necessary to learn to rely on. ”

Luo Wenqian listened to this, and somehow thought of how he knelt in front of his mother in the early morning.

The grievances in my heart came out again.

Zhou Hua closed the folding fan and gently tapped Luo Wenqian's forehead, "Men don't flick when they have tears, but today I will allow you to be vulnerable." ”

Luo Wenqian forcibly held back his tears, and said with a straight look: "Sir, the student knows what to do." ”

Zhou Hua chuckled, "Preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts is the way to be a teacher." Today's word, if it can really share your worries and solve your doubts, then it can be regarded as a teacher who has not wasted so many words. You're tired today, so go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, if you are still as wandering in the world as you have just been, you will have to serve with a ruler. ”

Hearing this, Luo Wenqian stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sir, students follow Mr.'s teachings." Yu Ba left Jingwen Hall and returned to his Mozhu Courtyard.

Luo Wenqian, who was guarding the door, entered the courtyard and hurriedly greeted him.

"The young master came back really early today, and the little one thought you were still having lunch at the Jingwen Hall. The young master is not hungry, the little one will go to pass the meal. Linyi asked with concern.

Luo Wenqian thought about what Mr. Zhou said just now, and said, "No need, change my clothes for me, I'll go to the eldest sister for lunch later." ”

Lin Yi chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously felt as if he had heard it wrong, so he asked tentatively, "Young Master?" Are you going to have lunch at the eldest lady's? ”

Luo Wenqian frowned and glanced at Linyi, "What?" Is it strange for me to go to my eldest sister's place for dinner? ”

Linyi smiled cautiously, "It's not strange, it's not strange." If the lord knew that you and the eldest lady had such a good relationship, he would definitely be happy in his heart. ”

It is not necessarily that Mrs. Gao is unhappy.

But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only silently wait for Luo Wenqian to change his clothes, and then followed him to Tinglan Courtyard.

Yinping and Yintian were also quite surprised by Luo Wenqian's arrival.

Yinping greeted him and saluted, "Second Young Master, wait a minute, let the slave and maid go and pass the word." ”

Luo Wen nodded humbly, "If the eldest sister is busy, I will come back next time." ”

Yinping said respectfully: "If you know that the second young master is here, the young lady will definitely be happy, and no matter how busy she is, she will put it aside." Then he turned and went into the inner room.

Luo Xinfang sat in front of the bookcase, and the copied women's training was stacked into a hill.

Luo Xinfang is good at calligraphy and painting, but he doesn't like the hairpin flowers that are sought after by the nobles in Beijing. She has been in the "willow body" of Liu Gongquan since she was a child, the so-called "Yan muscle willow bones", Luo Xinfang's words are strong, evenly thin and hard, just like herself.

Although my wrist was sore, the handwriting on the paper was always neat and upright.

Yinping stepped forward to salute Luo Xinfang and said softly: "Miss, the second young master is here." ”

"Second brother is here?" Luo Xinfang was also slightly surprised.

She thought that on the day she returned home, the second brother seemed to have said that he would come to sit when he was empty...... But after all, the second brother, who has always been old-fashioned and cold, really came to her, which surprised her a little.

"That's it, after copying for a long time, it's time to rest. Invite the second brother in. Luo Xinfang commanded.

Yinping heard this, and went out of the inner room to greet Luo Wenqian, "Second young master, young lady, please come in." ”

Luo Wenqian bowed slightly, and the two entered the house one after the other.

Luo Xinfang was rubbing his wrists, and when he saw his second brother coming in, he smiled and said, "Why did the second brother come over today?" ”

Luo Wenqian scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I have a lot of homework on weekdays, but today Mr. gave me half a day off, so I had to sit here with my eldest sister." ”

Luo Xinfang smiled, "It's a good thing for the second brother to study hard, but don't learn from the people who cantilever and forget to sleep and eat, a good body is the capital." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Rowan replied respectfully.

"It's rare for the second brother to come to me this time, so let's stay and eat together. The eldest sister instructed the small kitchen to add two dishes. Luo Xinfang said and took out a purse from the box with carved red lacquer peony flowers on the table.

The daily meals of the masters of the house are regulated, and if the masters want to open a small stove, they have to add their own private money, and do not go to the accounts of the public school.

It's just that Luo Xinfang has a bad mouth, and the things made in the big kitchen of the public middle school are not to her liking, so when Yang was still alive, he opened a small kitchen for her courtyard, and Luo Xinfang's meal was taken into the account of Tinglan Courtyard alone, and now it is planned by herself.

Luo Wenqian hurriedly refused, "There's no need to be so troublesome, it's me who bothered the eldest sister, so I'm embarrassed to let the eldest sister break the bank." ”

Luo Xinfang quipped: "Don't say that it's not easy for you to come to the second brother, even if you come to my Tinglan Courtyard every day, the eldest sister who adds food to you can also afford it." As he spoke, he handed the purse to Yinping, "Go and add a mountain crisp to the kitchen, and add a sweet and sour lotus root." ”

Yinping took the purse and went to the kitchenette.

Luo Wenqian was a little moved.

The reason why he was moved was not because the eldest sister added dishes for him, but because the eldest sister actually knew that he liked vegetarian food, and the two new dishes were vegetarian dishes.

Luo Wenqian was a little doll when he liked to eat meat, but since he read and reasoned, he learned the truth of "a gentleman is far away from cooking", and he gradually stopped eating meat. Over time, it became a habit.

However, every New Year's feast, my mother always ordered to make a large table of meat dishes, and I felt that it was difficult to swallow just looking at him. It's just that my mother still thinks he is the little doll who loves meat, and every time she keeps making vegetables for him, he always eats very hard.

But the eldest sister is meatless and happy, so every time there is a family banquet, the eldest sister eats very happily.

It's just that the amount of food is really small.

Looking at Luo Wenqian's expression of "grateful", Luo Xinfang couldn't help laughing, "Two dishes will move our second young master of Luofu like this, I will have to call the housekeeper to ask carefully in a while, and see if the house is short of food and clothing for our second young master on weekdays." ”

Luo Wenqian saw that the eldest sister was joking with himself, and it was rare that he didn't put on a serious appearance, "The dishes that the eldest sister specially added for me must be more delicious than the ones I usually eat." ”

Luo Xinfang's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "My God, are you still my second brother who doesn't smile?" would even say such rhetoric to coax me, the eldest sister. ”

Before Luo Wenqian could speak, Luo Xinfang added, "That's good!" Young people want to be vibrant, they become a little old-fashioned at a young age, and they will definitely become old-fashioned like their fathers in the future. ”

Luo Wenqian sighed, "I didn't expect the eldest sister to be so bold that even my father dared to arrange it." ”

"What, isn't what the eldest sister said right?" Luo Xinfang raised her eyebrows.

Luo Wenqian thought about it seriously, thinking of his father's unsmiling face, and the young son of the housekeeper who was scared to cry when he saw his father.

Finally, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I think so too." ”

The two siblings looked at each other and smiled, and the two had a common secret from then on.

Eat silently, sleep silently. The two siblings quietly finished their lunch together.

Luo Wenqian was preoccupied during this time, and he didn't have much appetite even with it. Today, Mr. Zhou solved his confusion, and the sweet and sour lotus root added by the eldest sister was really appetizing and refreshing, and he ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Luo Xinfang asked Yintian to put two plates of melons on the table, and she has always had the habit of using some fruit after meals.

Luo Wenqian praised sincerely: "Eldest sister, the cooking skills of the chef in your small kitchen are superb. ”

"The cook in my kitchenette was brought by my mother from my grandfather's house. I heard my mother say that when she was a child, she was greedy, and she always pestered her grandfather to take her to the restaurant for dinner, which made my grandfather very annoyed, and finally spent a lot of money to dig the cook to Yang's mansion. The cook's family later became my mother's roommate. Thinking of her mother, Luo Xinfang's face showed a trace of tenderness.

Luo Wenqian saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little envious: "Eldest sister, Mrs. Xian must be a very good person." ”

When Luo Xinfang heard this, she winked at him and said curiously: "How did the second brother know?" ”

"When the first lady was mentioned, the eldest sister looked very happy. Unlike me, although I also respect my mother, I feel a headache every time I think of my mother. Luo Wen said humbly.

Luo Xinfang was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Hahahaha!" Luo Xinfang laughed so much that tears were about to come out.

Luo Wenqian looked at the eldest sister who was smiling, and his face turned red.

Luo Xinfang saw that his second brother was shy, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Let the second brother smile." It's just that I didn't expect Mrs. to give the second brother a headache. ”

Although she also thinks that this description is very apt.

"Don't you think so, eldest sister?" Luo Wenqian asked.

Luo Xinfang tied a small piece of melon with a bamboo skewer and put it in his mouth to eat, and said disapprerovitically: "Why does the second brother think that I will think so?" ”

Luo Wenqian buried his head low, "The things my mother did, everyone in the house knows about it." I also think it's ridiculous, but I can't think of a way to stop my mother. ”

Luo Xinfang was stunned again when he heard this, and then raised his eyes to look at him, "Second brother, you shouldn't have been worrying about these things, right?" ”

Luo Wenqian nodded bitterly.

Luo Xinfang pushed the melon plate aside and looked at his second brother seriously.

He was a little emaciated, and there seemed to be a melancholy look between his eyebrows.

Luo Xinfang originally thought that it was caused by the second brother's hard work in school and the excessive pressure from his father, but he didn't expect Mrs. Luo to contribute to it.
