Chapter 9: Kneel!
"Smack!"
In the small courtyard where Tie Qiu lived, a breaking sound suddenly came from the side room, and it was obvious that the plate had fallen to the ground.
Since Yue Su left, Tie Qiu and Mei'er have not returned to the house, after all, it is the young master who is in charge, how dare they ignore it. Hearing the sound of plates, Tie Qiu slipped to the side of the bed, clicked through the window lattice paper with his tongue, and looked inside. I saw Yue Su sitting on the bed in a puff, the plate had fallen to the ground, becoming shattered, and the buns were rolling everywhere.
Such a child, who is not angry when he sees it, especially when he grows up in a poor family like Tieqiu. This is a meat bun, he has never tasted it when he was a child. The children in the room, if it were their own son, according to Tie Qiu's temper, would definitely go in and reward him with a mouthful. But after all, his own son, that is the son of an adult, although Tie Qi is angry, he still retreats.
"Mei'er, this kid threw all the buns on the table to the ground. Look at this, what should I do? Tieqiu whispered.
"I don't know, but since the master has already commanded, let's follow the master's wishes. I'm going to close the courtyard door, it's not too early now, wait for me to cook something, you're full, work hard tonight, just stare outside the wing, don't let anything happen. Mei'er whispered.
"Good. That's all there is to it. Tie Qiu nodded in response.
The courtyard door was closed, Mei'er went to cook by herself, Tie Qiu got a table, moved two of them, and placed it in the middle of the courtyard. As Mei'er said, don't have an accident, stay here at night.
Mei'er made dinner, and there was nothing for dinner, just the buns left over from noon, which were heated up and brought out. The couple were eating in the courtyard, and before they could finish eating, they suddenly heard Yue Sen's shout from the room, "Let me out!" I am hungry! Let me out! You want to starve me! ”
"If you have something to say, if you want to go out, you have to agree to study with your teacher, otherwise you don't want to go out! The adults thought they had prepared buns for you, but if you don't eat them yourself, who can blame you! "Tie Qi has always been rough, this is what he can say, if it is Jin Chan, Tong Xuan and others, he will definitely say it very tactfully. No matter how you say it, that's also a young master. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Yue Su did not put his son in other people's homes, but chose to put it in Tieqiu.
"I don't want to eat this rotten bun! I'm going to eat unicorn mandarin fish and Longjing shrimp! Go and call my mother! Yue Sen shouted loudly in the house.
"Childe, I'm sorry, Tie Qiu was ordered to guard here, but the Lord didn't say to let Tie Qi go and help Gongzi pass the word!" Tie Qiu said unceremoniously and loudly.
"Okay! Even you dare to bully me, you wait for me, watch me tell my mother, and let my mother clean you up! Let my mother break your legs! Yue Sen saw that Tie Qiu didn't give face, and began to make a lot of nonsense.
"Stinky boy, his mouth is quite hard. You also rely on being the son of an adult, otherwise, Lao Tzu will reward you with a few slaps now! "Yue Su is still polite to Tie Qiu on weekdays, and treats him as a brother, but he didn't expect this little doll to be able to say such things. How to make Tie Qi not angry, and he will collide when he lands.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mei'er hurriedly pulled her husband's sleeve and whispered, "Husband, what do you and a child generally see." Let's eat quickly, what he likes to say, let him say it to himself, let's not pay attention to it, don't say that again......"
At this time, Yue Sen's shout came from the wing room again, "You still dare to fight, it's against you." You move me to try, my mother is the county lord, my uncle is the prince of the country, whoever dares to touch me, my mother and my uncle will definitely beat him to death! ”
"You ......" What kind of temperament is Tieqiu, after hearing this, he stood up directly, looking at the posture, he really wanted to go in and teach this stinky boy a lesson.
Mei'er took a step forward, hugged Tie Qiu, and said softly: "Husband, don't meet him." A child, the more you take care of him, the more he will yell endlessly. You let him shout alone, and when he gets tired, he will have no sound. ”…,
Tie Qiu still listened to Mei'er very much, nodded, and said, "Okay then." ”
"You come into the house with a bun to eat, and I'll keep watch outside. When you're done eating, come out for me. Mei'er whispered again.
"Hmm." Tie Qiu nodded, took a plate of steamed buns, and went to the room to eat.
Sure enough, after Tie Qiu stopped talking to Yue Sen, Yue Sen shouted for a while, and when he saw that no one was talking, he also felt that it was not interesting. To tell the truth, he was also really hungry, and he was tired and panicked from yelling, and soon sat down on the bed without moving.
It was getting dark, Tie Qiu finished eating the buns, went out of the house to exchange with his wife, Mei'er went in, and he guarded the courtyard by himself. Today's Yue Sen, crying and shouting, has not eaten yet, and is now tired and hungry, lying on the bed, and can't help but fall asleep. He still has a bed to sleep in, and Tie Qi is more bitter, sitting in the yard, the weather is about to enter autumn, and the night is also a little cold. Fortunately, he had a considerate wife, and Mei'er took a thick blanket, came out and covered her husband, and leaned next to him to accompany him.
Mu Tianjiao's cross courtyard, there are also two people sitting in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.
Yue Su did come to Mu Tianjiao's cross-courtyard tonight and had dinner at her side. Because of the events of the day, Mu Tianjiao's cook became very nervous when he learned that Master Yue was coming to eat, and he didn't know what to do at night. I am afraid that the dishes are too good and will make the adults unhappy, and I am afraid that I will be scolded by the county lord if I do it too badly. These days, it's not easy to be a cook. Finally got four dishes and one soup right, the dishes are not particularly good, but they are not bad, but unfortunately, because they are too nervous, they put too much salt.
Fortunately, Yue Su and Mu Tianjiao had something on their minds, and they didn't eat a few bites, let alone criticize the meal. Yue Su had no intention of sleeping at night, sitting on the stone bench outside the bedroom, Mu Tianjiao sat beside him, but he was thinking about his son vigorously.
The two of them were silent, and they didn't know what time it was, so Mu Tianjiao spoke: "Husband, it's so late, and Sen'er doesn't know if I've eaten dinner or not." I...... I've been thinking about him all the time, let me go and see him, okay. ”
"How could you not give him food at Tieqiu's place, when I left, there were still eight buns on the table. He eats as much as he wills, and starves when he doesn't. You don't have to go to see him for the time being, if you go, it will encourage his arrogance even more, and how will you discipline him in the future. Yue Su said in a deep voice.
"But, but...... My heart is like a knife cut now, since I have this child, all my thoughts on this day are on his heart, for fear ......that something will happen to him," Mu Tianjiao said, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Yue Su stretched out his arm, took Mu Tianjiao into his arms, and said, "Tianjiao, I know, I also understand your thoughts. But you also have to know that I, as a father, also want my son to be well. Since becoming a husband and an official, I don't know how many gentlemen have been taught, and more than ten have died under the guillotine. If he becomes like Pei Yingjie in the future, or even like Zou Feng and Zhang Zhongxin, he may not use my guillotine to kill him, and he will die under someone else's knife. Oh my God, you don't want to have such a day, do you? ”
"That's what I said, but, but what should I do......" Mu Tianjiao still said sadly.
"You don't have to worry about anything, you have your own husband to educate your son. You can rest assured that you will definitely return a sensible and obedient son in the future. Yue Su said softly.
"That, that's okay......" Mu Tianjiao could only nod.
Seeing his wife's tears in her eyes, Yue Su was also distressed, and said softly again: "Tianjiao, don't cry anymore, women are always crying, they won't be beautiful." ”
"I'm this old, and I'm not a young girl, the children are so old, what else is there to ...... that isn't beautiful" Mu Tianjiao lowered her head and said. …,
"Where are you old, and your appearance, you are still captivating the country and the city...... Yue Su said, raised his other hand to wipe Mu Tianjiao's tears, and said softly: "Tianjiao, shall we give Sen'er another brother......
Only children are mostly pampered, and the family is such a treasure, the parents are loved, and the elders are petted, and it is easy to develop a selfish character. If you have more children, the chances of this happening are much less. In this year, there is no family planning, who has several children, and if there are many children, they can scatter the love of their parents, so Yue Su thinks that if he can have another child with Mu Tianjiao, Mu Tianjiao will not put all the spoiling on Yue Sen, and it will be easier to discipline.
Of course, Mu Tianjiao didn't know Yue Su's thoughts, they were all mothers, and after listening to Yue Su's words, she couldn't help but blush her cheeks, and said shyly: "It's all up to the husband to make the decision, it's ......"
The main reason why Lord Mu is shy is that the husband and wife have not been together for a long time, and Yue Su rarely says sweet words. So much so, with a little coaxing, it made her shy.
Yue Su saw that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and hugged Mu Tianjiao horizontally, this time, Mu Tianjiao became even more shy, like a cat, shrinking her body, and clasping Yue Su tightly with her arms. It's so good, the matter of his son was thrown out of the clouds in an instant by Yue Su's sweet move.
The two of them entered the room, and Yue Su put his wife on the bed and lowered the curtain.
After a night of silence, Yue Su didn't even eat breakfast early the next morning, so he went to Tieqiu's cross-courtyard. Mu Tianjiao wanted to follow, but Yue Su was not allowed, so she had to give up, worried in her heart, but she was helpless.
At two o'clock, in the small courtyard where Tie Qiu lived, although the sky was not bright at the moment, he could see the scene clearly. Inside the room, Yue Sen curled up on the bed, he felt a little cold now, and he was very hungry.
He had shouted loudly that he was cold and that he was hungry, but there was no one in the yard, and there was no sound at all. It was not that he did not hear it, but the adults had something to say, and if the child did not give in, he must not let him come out, nor could he bring food in. Besides, what's the use of delivering food, people can't eat it.
Yue Sen in the house was really hungry, he was just a child, and adults couldn't bear it if they hadn't eaten for so long, let alone at a young age.
"I'm hungry, I'm ......hungry," Yue Sen's mouth muttered, as he lay on the bed, his eyes quickly spotted the buns that had been spilled on the ground. When he saw these buns, he picked them up with heart, but his heart kept telling himself, "You can't eat them, you can't eat them, these things are not delicious, and they are dirty." I can't, they dare to starve me to death......"
As time passed bit by bit, Yue Sen couldn't stand the hunger, he was right, no one dared to starve him to death, but how old was he, where could he have that kind of determination. You must know that it is not an easy task to die of hunger strike, just imagine that a person as big as Hong Chengchou in history did not succeed in a hunger strike, and finally surrendered, let alone a child less than six years old.
"Hungry, I'm hungry......"
Finally, Yue Sen got up from the bed, squatted on the ground, and picked up a bun. He put the bun to his mouth, hesitating in his heart, but in the end, hunger prevailed, and he took a bite.
The buns were already cold, if it was normal, Yue Sen would definitely spit it out, but this time, he didn't vomit and swallowed it. Far from finding it unpalatable, he thought it tasted good. "This bun is so fragrant...... How can there be such a delicious bun......"
Yue Sen was no longer polite, and quickly swallowed a bun, then grabbed another bun and ate it in a big gulp. …,
He regrets it now, he knew that this bun was so delicious, he would have eaten it a long time ago, and he would never throw it on the ground.
Yes, anything you eat when you're hungry is delicious, and when you're not hungry, nothing tastes good. This is called eating bran when you are hungry and sweet as honey, and eating honey when you are full is not sweet.
Yue Sen ate three buns in one go, and he was full. There is one of the best ways to cure picky eaters in this world, that is, to be hungry, as long as you are hungry, everything you eat is fragrant. Otherwise, when Zhu Yuanzhang was hungry and anxious, he ate some rancid tofu and rotten cabbage soup, and he thought it was delicious in the world.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, followed by someone in the courtyard who asked loudly, "Who?" ”
"Tieqiu, it's me."
"It's my lord. The subordinate will open the door. ”
Hearing the sound outside, Yue Sen realized that there had always been people in the yard, but he didn't take care of himself.
The courtyard door opened, and Tie Qiu bowed down and said, "My subordinates see my lord." ”
"No need to be polite." After Yue Su finished speaking, he was about to go inside, but he saw Tie Qiu raise his head, his face was tired, and his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night. Yue Su put down his raised leg and said with concern: "Tieqiu, you, why haven't you slept all night. ”
"The subordinates are worried that something will happen to the son, so they have been guarding the yard." Tie Qiu said hoarsely.
"It's all for this little brute...... Yue Su patted Tie Qiu's shoulder apologetically and said, "Tie Qiu, go back to your room and rest." I'll take this little beast away later, how can I implicate you because of him. ”
"My lord, with your words, it is incumbent on Tieqiu to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, let alone take care of the son." Tie Qiu said movingly: "My lord, please come in and talk." ”
Yue Su and Tie Qiu entered the courtyard, Yue Su glanced at the wing room, and said in a low voice: "Tie Qiu, thank you for your hard work." After I'm gone, how will this little brute be? ”
"Childe...... Childe threw all the buns to the ground, and later when it came to dinner, he shouted that he was hungry and wanted to go out, but his subordinates remembered the instructions of the adults and did not dare to open the door, but only said that he would promise to be willing to study with the teacher before he could come out. He didn't want to at that time, and scolded loudly, but his subordinates ignored him, he scolded for a while, and Xu was tired, so he stopped. He shouted again, saying that he was cold and hungry, and his subordinates wanted to open the door, but after thinking about it, they still didn't. If there is any discomfort in what the subordinates do, please punish the adults. Tie Qiu whispered.
"I'm sorry for you, you're not wrong at all." Yue Su grabbed Tie Qiu's hand and said gratefully.
"This is the duty of subordinates...... When I was keeping an eye on the prisoners, I didn't just stare at them all night, and compared to that time, this little thing was nothing at all. Tie Qiu said honestly.
Yue Su has always trusted Jin Chan and Tie Qiu the most, and the two of them have never disappointed Yue Su. It is not an exaggeration to describe the feelings between each other as siblings.
The two of them slowly walked towards the side room, and when they reached the door, Yue Su said, "Have you thought clearly?" If you want to study with a teacher, if you don't want to, you can stay for another night, and go out whenever you agree. I don't have any Longjing shrimp here, and I don't have any Wuchang fish, some are those meals that you don't look at, if you're hungry, you can be full, if you're not hungry, you don't have to eat! ”
Yue Sen in the room really didn't want to live here anymore, he had already seen that although his little means were good in front of his mother, they didn't work at all in front of his father. If you continue to fight, it will not do you any good. At that moment, he said aggrievedly: "Dad, I promise, I will study with my teacher today." ”
"That's good. Tieqiu, open the door. Yue Su commanded.
"Yes, sir." Tie Qiu took out the key, took two steps forward, and opened the door. …,
As soon as the door opened, Tie Qiu flashed to the side, and Yue Su could see the scene inside, his son was sitting on the ground, the plate was shattered, and there were three buns scattered on the side.
Yue Su remembered that Mei'er had brought a total of eight buns, she ate two by herself, there were six left, and now there are only three left, obviously her son has already eaten three.
In order to confirm his judgment, he walked into the room, looked around carefully, and when he was sure that there were only three left, Yue Su spoke: "Are the buns delicious?" ”
"Good, delicious......" Yue Sen said rather aggrieved.
"It's what makes you!" Yue Su said fiercely, and then said, "Come out." ”
"Yes, father." Yue Sen was also honest, hurriedly got up, and walked out of the door.
"Your Uncle Tie took care of you all night, and he still doesn't thank him." Yue Su said in a deep voice.
"Yes......" Yue Sen looked at Tie Qiu very reluctantly, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tie." ”
"It's good that you can study hard, I won't waste my hard night." Tie Qiu said gently. After all, he is an elder, and Tie Qiu can't care about a child.
He didn't care, where Yue Su was willing to do it, suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly: "Do you thank you like this, kneel!" ”
"Ah......" As soon as he heard his father say to let him kneel, Yue Sen was dumbfounded for a moment, in his eyes, Tie Qi was just his father's subordinates, just like those subordinates who served his mother, what qualifications did he have to kneel for them.
Tie Qiu also hurriedly said: "My lord, don't you need it......"
"You are my brother, like a brother, he is my son, that is, your nephew, why not kneel down to thank you." Speaking of this, Yue Su looked at Yue Sen, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Didn't you hear what I said, kneel!" ”
"Oh......" Yue Sen didn't dare to be stubborn, so he had to kneel down slowly, "Thank you Uncle Tie for taking care of you." ”
"Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground." Tie Qiu immediately helped Yue Sen up, and he was extremely grateful to Yue Su in his heart. When Yue Sen stood up, Tie Qiu said again: "Son, Uncle Tie has never read any books, and he doesn't know a few big characters, but fortunately he met an adult, otherwise he would still be living a life of fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes." You must not be like Uncle Tie, you must study hard, and when you grow up, you will be like your father, and be a good official who stands up to the sky. ”
Tie Qiu was from the bottom of his heart, but Yue Sen didn't take it to heart, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, Uncle Tie." ”
Yue Su has such eyesight, how could he not see that his son is not convinced now. However, Yue Su knew that education should be done step by step, so that his son could experience it little by little, that is. If you are too anxious, it will backfire.
Afterwards, Yue Su instructed Tie Qiu to rest well and left the courtyard with Yue Sen.
Yue Su did not ask his son to go to the courtyard where Mu Tianjiao lived, but came to the courtyard where he lived. Let people prepare breakfast, his breakfast is very simple, porridge, pickles, steamed buns.
This kind of white rice porridge, Yue Sen didn't eat it before, at least he had to add lean meat, shrimp, longan or something, why didn't his father pay attention to these, just eat enough. In front of his father, Yue Sen didn't dare not eat, so he ate porridge and a few pickles.
Yue Su did not go to the cabinet today, he stayed at home, he would go out in two days, and he had already entrusted the affairs of the DPRK and China to other cabinet ministers. After breakfast and waiting for a while, Yue Su asked people to invite Teacher Wang Xuezheng and Wang.
followed Yue Su and called Yue Meng again, specially secluded out of a small courtyard, and waited until Wang Xuezheng arrived, so that he could open a museum here. The teacher is going to live here, the bedroom and the classroom are all complete, Yue Su ordered Yue Sen and Yue Meng to worship the teacher in the classroom, worshiped the Confucian saint, worshiped Wang Xuezheng, and the ceremony was completed.
When his son began to study, and his daughter was with him, a stone in Yue Su's heart finally fell.
Yue Su was at home in the past two days, Yue Sen's performance was very good, he went to class during the day, lived in Yue Su's yard at night, and ate and slept with Yue Su. is not a picky eater, and his performance in class is also very good, Wang Xuezheng said that he has never met such a smart child as Yue Sen, and praised Yue Sen a lot, saying that Lao Tzu is a hero, which is not wrong at all.
In the blink of an eye, the time for Yue Su to go out was up, and the time was just right, and Zheng Zhilong and Kong Youde also entered the Beijing Division together on this day.
