After a while, Shun Niang and Yan Mama brought food up. Four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, one steamed river fish, one stewed egg, one fried tofu, one fried rape, and the rice is steamed with white rice.

The three of them sat down, followed the rule of "eating without speaking", and ate quietly. Of course, the idiot didn't have the feeling of "being afraid of life" and "pretending to be fake", so he added a meal in the middle and ate two bowls of rice before putting down the chopsticks.

Tofu and fried rape are almost clean, steamed river fish and stewed eggs, only two or three chopsticks are moved. Putting down the rice bowl, the three grandparents looked at each other.

"Grandmother was vegan on weekdays?" The idiot asked.

Wang Ning nodded and said, "I have been cut off meat for many years. Your sister also wanted to be a vegetarian with me, but I didn't allow it, and your children's family is the time to grow their bodies, so it's not good to avoid it. Earlier, in the temple, eating fast is to pay tribute to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and now since it is at home, it is better to open meat as soon as possible. ”

The Taoist idiot said: "Grandmother, all things have spirits, even if the grandson enters the world, he will not dare to forget the teachings of the Buddha, this mouth precept cannot be broken." ”

Wang Ning frowned and said, "How can Changzhai be so easy to hold? How old are you, and where can you stand this? ”

Dao idiot looked at him sincerely and said: "Then let it be, and when your grandson is greedy, then use meat." If it is reluctant, the grandson can't stand it. ”

Wang Ning touched the head of the idiot, and his face was full of pity: "Good boy, grandmother is not strong on you, everything will take your time." ”

Wang Shunniang was beside her and said, "Grandmother, since Erlang is also a vegetarian, then the granddaughter also follows her grandmother to eat long fasting, right?" ”

Wang Ning shook his head and said: "I swore in front of the Bodhisattva a long time ago, your younger brother was raised in the temple because of his childhood, what are you doing with it?" If you want to be a wife and a mother in the future, what should you do if your body is not strong? ”

Wang Shunniang's face was flushed, and she avoided going to the kitchen by cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

The Taoist idiot remembered going to the palace as a companion, and before he could tell the old lady about it, he said: "Grandmother, before my grandson went down the mountain, I agreed with the patriarch that I would follow Zongfang Qilang into the Xingwang Mansion as a companion. ”

When Wang Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Doesn't Erlang want to take the road of the imperial examination?" Why do you have to go to the palace? ”

The idiot said: "My grandson wants to go to the palace to open his eyes, and he will not delay the boy's test next year." ”

"Erlang has already thought about it, and he will be out next year?" Wang Ning asked.

"Well, the grandson has already decided." Dao Idiot said with a firm expression.

Wang Ning took a long breath and said: "I can see it, although Erlang is young, he has an idea, and I won't stop you, but you have to remember that even if you have great ambitions, you must not forget the foundation of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith." ”

The Taoist idiot said: "My grandson will obey my grandmother's church and will never defile the lintel of my ninth room." ”

While the two ancestors and grandsons were talking, they saw Mama Yan come in and said, "Old lady, the seventh young master of the sect and the third young master of the twelfth room are here and are waiting outside the gate. ”

When Wang Ning heard this, he couldn't help but look at the idiot.

The idiot's face was also puzzled, and he didn't know what the two teenagers were talking about when they came to the door in the evening. Wang Ning thought for a while and said, "Since you are here, please come to the living room to serve tea." After that, he instructed the idiot: "Most of them are here to visit you, you go out to entertain guests first; If you are just visiting Erlang, you can order soup directly after serving guests in the south hall; If you say you want to see me, bring me in. ”

In the past, even if he was a teenager, Wang Ning would not meet guests in the inner courtyard. Now that there is a pillar in the family, in the end, there is enough confidence, and there is also a brother who is a Taoist idiot, and Wang Ning's family does not want their brothers to be separated.

A single tree can't make a forest, and there is only one idiot in the outer nine rooms, and if you want to find help in the clan, it is naturally the most suitable half-brother in the twelfth room.

Where did the idiot think that the old man had already thought so much, and responded, and came out with Mama Yan.

When he walked to the gate and saw the posture outside, he couldn't help but be surprised. Behind Wang Sanlang and Wang Qi, they were not followed by the long-term servant, but Li Zhong, the chief manager of the twelfth room, and Zheng Hai, the manager of the nursing home. Beside the crowd, there were three carriages.

Wang Sanlang's expression was faintly guilty, and Wang Qi was a little annoyed and impatient.

The Taoist idiot said, "I've seen two brothers. The two brothers came to visit the younger brother? ”

Wang Qi said with a gloomy face: "In the afternoon, my aunt sent someone out of the palace, and tomorrow I will start teaching us the rules, and my grandfather will send me over to tell you that you will come to the sect room before tomorrow morning." And Saburo is met in the mouth. ”

"The younger brother has written it down, and he is tired of the hard work of the seven clan brothers." The Taoist idiot is a serious way.

The corners of Wang Qi's mouth twitched, and he said, "Why didn't the seventh brother call him, and he started calling him Brother Laoshizi?" Do you call Saburo a clan brother? ”

Wang Sanlang was beside him, drooping his head, not daring to look up at the idiot.

Dao Idiot sighed in his heart and said, "Brother is here to visit the younger brother?" ”

When Wang Saburo heard this, he immediately raised his head, his eyes were bright, and he almost shook the eyes of the flower idiot.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Four...... Jiro left the book at home, and I thought you were afraid that you would use it, so I packed it up and sent it over. Speaking of this, he pointed to the housekeepers Li Zhong and Zheng Haidao: "Uncle Zhong and Uncle Hai were ordered by the master to come and see Erlang." ”

The door is not a place to speak, and after greeting each other, the idiot invited everyone into the hospital.

The two boxes of books brought by Wang Sanlang were the notes and annotations of the Four Books and the Five Classics that the Taoist idiot had borrowed from Tongyuan before. Before the idiot came out of the twelfth room, he was reluctant to give up these two boxes of books, but now he has lost them, and his heart is very happy.

However, when he saw the three yellow pear boxes that Li Zhong held out, the smile of the Taoist idiot froze a little. The dowry of the biological mother is not enough, this belongs to him justifiably, if the twelve rooms are not deducted, it is not the twelve rooms; The remaining two, the so-called gifts prepared by the old lady and the old lady, are not easy to receive.

In terms of name and etiquette, he is no longer the grandson of the twelve houses, and he has nothing to do with the twelve houses, so he can only be regarded as a family relative.

It is clearly written in the "Succession", "Wang Ning's wishes, Qinghong's wishes, the clansmen make the same promise, and there is no dispute, and they all wish to be famous and set their heirs." Since the succession, all the inheritance of Qingzhou has been agreed upon by the public to belong to the heir Zijin and his daughter Shunniang. Zhijin's teachings, reading, marriage, etc., should be presided over by the grandmother, and the family should not interfere. I hope that the heirs and grandchildren will be filial to their grandmothers and fulfill their duties. Be diligent and thrifty, and inherit the ancestors. The children and grandchildren are endless. Sit's high hopes".

He still has an obligation to the Twelve Chambers, that is, after the death of his biological father and mother, he respects the favor of others for one year. Xiao Cui's illness has been dead for many years, Wang Qinghong, is in the prime of life, if there is no accident, it will not be the turn of the Taoist idiot to fulfill his "obligations" in twenty or thirty years.

is no longer the son of the twelfth room, and the head of the twelfth room also sent a "gift", which is obviously "to be happy and loving", and has the meaning of taking care of the children and grandchildren who have already passed out. Moreover, in terms of their self-sustaining character, this "gift" is definitely not light.

The intentions are not bad, but the idiot knows that he can't accept it. Although they have only been together for a few days in total, he can also see that Wang Cui's and Wang Qinghong are both self-talking and self-serving. If you can send something over as an elder today, you can continue to dictate his affairs in the name of an elder tomorrow. In that case, it will become a joke if the idiot succeeds, what is the difference between being raised in a foreign house?

However, if there is "given by the elders, it is impossible to resign", and it is the first day of the Taoist idiot, if he clearly refuses the kindness of the twelve rooms, it seems that he "does not know what to do". Dao idiots could only accept them generously as "ordinary gifts", and politely asked Li Zhong to convey his gratitude to several elders.

After the errand of delivering things was done, Li Zhong retreated first, leaving the hall for their brothers to speak.

Wang Qi looked at the boxes, his eyes were a little curious, but the corners of Wang Sanlang's mouth drooped again, showing a little depression.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Wang Sanlang smiled and said, "Since you came over, should you say hello to your uncle and grandmother first?" ”

Wang Qi echoed: "Exactly, exactly, we have been to our uncle and grandmother to say goodbye, or we are rude." Speaking of this, he snorted lightly: "It is said that the door of the outer nine rooms is the tightest, and when I go to a relative's house, it is the first time I am waiting outside the gate; Erlang won't treat us as outsiders, and won't even let us in the second door, right? ”

Looking at the indignant expression, it was obvious that the other party was waiting outside the gate to express his dissatisfaction.

Dao Idiot smiled, got up and said, "The two brothers are not outsiders, so they can naturally enter, please come with me." ”

Wang Qi laughed proudly twice and followed, but Wang Sanlang pointed to the boxes and said: "Erlang, these should also be put in, it's not good to leave them outside" Speaking of this, he took out two pieces ......of paper from his arms and said: "In addition to these books, I also brought bluegrass and spikelets over, because I don't know if you will keep them, I told them to wait in the carriage." Your uncle and grandmother are already old, and you have to study, so there must be someone to serve here. Both of them are selling to the house, I asked, and the two of them are willing to come and serve you. If you think about it carefully, whether you want to stay or not, after all, you were raised at home when you were young, and you are all honest and dutiful. ”

Those two pieces of paper are the identity contract between the bluegrass and the spikelet.

Dao Idiot thought about Wang Ning's gray hair and the fine cocoons on Shunniang's hands, and really wanted to leave these two girls behind.

But he has only been here for a day, and it is not easy to make decisions at will, so he said: "What my brother said makes sense, I also think that there is a shortage of manpower here, but I can keep no one, and my brother has to ask his grandmother first." ”

Wang Sanlang was afraid that the Taoist idiot would make a decision, but now he was overjoyed to see him say this.

There were three little brothers, one of whom hugged a box and entered the inner courtyard.

These things were sent to the idiot in the twelfth room, so naturally they didn't have to be sent to Wang Ning's family, so Wang Qi was clamoring to see the idiot's house, and the idiot led the two into the east chamber where he lived first.

The size of the east chamber is about the same as that of the south hall, which is nine feet long and five feet long. The two small rooms are separated by a bookshelf in the middle, with a bedroom inside and a study outside.

For this, the Taoist idiot is still very satisfied. Although the furniture and furnishings are old, the walls are covered with white paper, and the curtains on the beds are new. Even if it's just fine fabric, for the outer nine rooms, I'm afraid it's already a reluctant purchase.

But for Wang Sanlang and Wang Qi, this room is cramped, even if it is a room for the people in the family, it is more spacious than here.

Wang Qi returned, only laughed twice, and then didn't look at it; Wang Sanlang looked at everything in surprise, and his eyes turned red unconsciously......

There is a secret about the Taoist idiot vegetarian, and it is not really pure and has few desires to be a monk, Gaga......
