"Official, what's this box?" Zhang Jiu accompanied Xu Wei and walked towards home, and Zhu Jilan and Xu Yan followed behind.

"Some of my stuff, and that's what I seized this time. There is a box of leather m-o, which is just cold, and it is used as clothes. Xu Wei said casually. Hey, why don't you see Xu Yan and Xu Hu? ”

"Xu Yan is a little cold, staying in the room, as for Xu Hu, Fang is still there, I don't know where to slip away at this time. I guess I heard that you came back and avoided it. Zhang Jiu said.

Xu Wei stopped and said suspiciously: "Why are you still avoiding this when I come back?" Did he get into trouble? ”

Zhu Jilan smiled when he heard this: "It's not a disaster, it's estimated that I'll be reading in the study at this time." ”

Xu Wei smiled: "Are you so obedient?" Then you have to go and see, September, you order something a little bit, and put it in. Ji Lan, you come with me to see Xu Yan. ”

Zhang Jiuyue should go down, and he was still chattering, it happened to be snowing heavily, and one person in the family picked a leather m-o for clothes, and then sent two to the eldest sister-in-law, and the Ma family also had one for each person. Zhu Jilan accompanied Xu Wei to see Xu Yan. Xu Wei, the second NV and the eldest sister, are two different days, weak since childhood, and his health is not very good, which makes Xu Wei and his wife c-o hearted. Xu Wei talked to NV Er for a while, fed her Y-O, and pressed the quilt for Av before leaving, and then went to Xu Hu's study with Zhu Jilan.

Still outside the study, he heard the sound of reading aloud inside, Xu Wei listened carefully for a while, but didn't hear a reason, so he asked beside him: "What kind of book is this reading?" ”

"A thousand words, I've been learning this recently." Zhu Jilan replied.

"Or the same master?" Xu Wei asked again.

Zhu Jilan was a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "It's another one." ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he sighed: "The easiest thing in this world is to be an official, and the hardest thing is to be a teacher." Especially me, the teacher of the Xu family. Xu Wei looked in, and saw his son sitting upright behind the desk, holding the book in both hands, but his eyes were glancing at the m-n mouth.

Xu Wei walked over, looked at him, looked at him carefully for a while, and asked with a smile: "What about reading?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Hu replied with some humility.

"Look at your outfit, why do you look like you've just come back from outside? There's still mud on your feet. Xu Wei asked.

"No, I'm tired of studying, so I run twice in the yard." Xu Hu argued.

It was said that he was lying, but Xu Wei had not reprimanded him, and Zhu Jilan had already said: "Hu'er, how dare you lie in front of your father?" "In the end, he was born in the scholarly M-N family, and Zhu Jilan attaches great importance to the education of his son. King Xu Jun gave birth to two NV children in a row to get such a baby son, who in the whole house doesn't treat him as a little ancestor? Even Zhang Jiujiu has a lot of preferences, but Zhu Jilan is strict, such a young child, he will come when he opens his mouth to talk nonsense, and he will have it when he grows up?

Xu Hu seemed to be very afraid of this biological mother, his head hung down, and he muttered for a long time: "This morning, my son went to the eldest brother's house, and I just came back." ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he said casually: "You just say no?" Why lie? Is your eldest brother's house okay? ”

"It's not good, the eldest brother said he was sick, I asked him, and he said I didn't understand." Xu Hu said dissatisfied.

"Sick? He is young and strong, how can he ......" Xu Wei was a little surprised. Ma Tai's son's name is Ma Dong, and when Ma Er was killed in battle, he was only two years old. After Mattei's death, his widow remarried, and Xu Wei didn't stop them, but they took more care of them in all aspects after that. But this matter is very realistic, no matter how much Xu Wei and these uncles take care of him, they are not as good as his father and mother after all. The most they can do is give some money and a job for Mattei's father, so what else can they do? You can't pull the doll with a handful of and ni-o, and you can't shh the cold all day long. Now that he heard his son mention it, Xu Wei thought that he hadn't been to Ma's house for about half a year.

Thinking of the friendship with Ma Tai back then, Xu Wei couldn't help but secretly scream ashamed, and said to Zhu Jilan: "You go, let September pick up a few good things for me to bring back, and then take two hundred yuan, and I'll go to Ma's house." ”

"The king just came back, and he hasn't even drunk his saliva yet, are you waiting for ......" Zhu Jilan said with concern.

"It's okay, let's go." Xu Weidao. Zhu Jilan should go down and go out of the study. Xu Wei stepped forward, grabbed his son's little head, and said to him, "Xu Hu, you will go to your eldest brother's house with your father in a while." ”

"Good," Xu Hu said happily. "If the eldest brother sees his father, he will be very happy, and he often talks to me about you."

"Oh? How do you pronounce it? Xu Wei squatted down.

"My eldest brother always asks when my father will come back, and he asks once and again." Xu Hu tilted his head and said.

Xu Hu was still young, and it was impossible for him to understand the sophistication of these people, but Xu Wei heard some meaning from these words. Thinking in his heart, Ma Dong should be more than ten years old now, that guy follows his father, has no interest in books, he likes to bow and ride sh-s since he was a child, and now he is half an age, and it is not a way to stay at home all day......

Since Ma Tai's death, the Ma family has moved several times in a row, and finally followed Xu Wei to Xingyuan Mansion. Ma Er's father was originally a blacksmith in Xujiazhuang, and later found a job in Xu Jiujun. It's just that he is a craftsman, not an officer, and he is old, so there is limited room for promotion. However, under the care of Xu Wei, he became a deputy governor of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Academy. A few years ago, he retired, and he could only receive half a salary according to the regulations, but Xu Wei thought that he was a loyal martyr, and ordered him to receive all the money.

But the treatment of technical officials like them naturally could not be compared with that of formal court officials, so the house was purchased in the southwest corner far from the prosperous area of Xingyuan. In this area, there are grain markets and mule and horse markets, and people with status and status generally do not live here.

The Ma family's house is no different from the ordinary people next to it, with low courtyard walls, old M-N buildings, and now it's almost the New Year, and other people's homes have long been "new peaches for old charms", but the Ma family's M-N is still pasted with last year's peach charms, which are so old that they are almost unrecognizable.

Xu Wei reined in the horse in front of his house m-n, and the sedan chair that followed behind also stopped, Zhang Jiujiu led Xu Hu down, and the family of three went to m-n together, Xu Hu was familiar with the road, picked up his small fist and smashed m-n loudly, and shouted without shelter: "Big brother, big brother"

After waiting for a while, someone came to drive M-N, and it was an old F-, who had to be fifty or sixty years old, with almost white hair, and was wearing a white-washed cotton coat, probably with a weak body, and she was still holding a crutch in her hand, which was old and had been polished. The old F-man had a rickety on her back, so she saw Xu Hu for the first time, and a wrinkled face l-smiled, but when her eyes moved up, she was surprised and delighted, and she didn't have time to greet Xu Wei and shouted inside: "Ma Dong Ma Dong, come quickly"
